Chapter 2 second quarter

Walking out of Xiangfu, Jian Zhonglan felt that both feet were numb.It was the new autumn, the weather was early, it wasn't too cold, but it wasn't hot anymore, but he didn't know whether he was cold or hot all over his body, he was cold all over his body, and his back was sweating profusely.He walked step by step on the road, hardly knowing how he got home. Pushing open the door, one can see Xiaoxian sitting at the table sewing autumn clothes.Seeing him coming in, Xiao Xian bit off the thread and said, "Alan, you came just in time, try this new dress, the food is on the table, waiting for you to eat."

He said woodenly, "Okay." Xiaoxian took off his coat and put on new clothes for him.The newly made clothes felt dry and hard on his upper body, but he couldn't feel it either.Xiaoxian tried the sleeves, waist, etc., then took it off for him and said, "It's just right, then I'll sew it up." He put on his old clothes, still feeling a little out of sorts.Xiaoxian didn't pay attention either, and said while threading the needle, "Alan, the day after tomorrow you will go out with the commander-in-chief. It's so cold in the north, remember to add some clothes."

Jian Zhonglan nodded, and sat blankly at the table, waiting for Xiaoxian to sew the clothes and eat together.Xiao Xian didn't raise her head, she just said, "By the way, Mrs. Ru of the Grand Master asked me to stay in Xiang's Mansion while you were going on an expedition, so you don't have to worry about it." do not go!Jian Zhonglan seemed to be crying out from the bottom of his heart, but he still said slowly: "Okay, the Grand Master is really kind to us like a mountain." "You have the support of the grand master, so you might be promoted when you come back?" Xiaoxian raised her head and smiled at him with her lips pursed.Jian Zhonglan was startled, and hurriedly laughed and said, "Don't think too much about this matter, let it take its course."

"Chu Shuai and the Grand Master are friends in need. With the Grand Master taking care of you, how could Chu Shuai not take care of you? You are both civil and military, and you are capable. Maybe, at the age of the Grand Master, you can also be equal to Chu Shuai." gone." Jian Zhonglan didn't say anything, just put the food in his mouth.The two dishes made by Xiaoxian are quite delicious, but when he eats them, it's like chewing sawdust. How can he get half of the taste? After eating dinner and going to bed, Jian Zhonglan was still tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.Beside him, Xiaoxian's breath was long and quiet. He sat up and looked at Xiaoxian in the dark through the moonlight coming in through the window.She slept soundly and seemed to think about nothing.

She doesn't have to think about anything. Jian Zhonglan put on her clothes, took down the knife from under the wall, pushed open the courtyard door, and walked to the well platform. In the well, a full moon was reflected in the water, and when the bucket broke the water, the moon's shadow scattered into thousands of silver threads.Jian Zhonglan washed the whetstone with half a bucket of water, sat on the well rail and began to sharpen it carefully. The blade, which was already very sharp, shone even brighter as he sharpened it.He scooped up a handful of water, washed away the stone dust, took out a silk scarf and wiped it carefully, lifted the knife, and looked at the blade from the front.

The edge of the blade is as straight as nothing.With his invisible knife technique, coupled with this extremely sharp fast knife, he can also kill people invisible. In the moonlight, the blade shone like ice.Jian Zhonglan picked up a piece of wood and set it up on the well rail. In a flash, he was like a wisp of smoke, light and delicate, and he had reached the other side of the well platform. Nothing changed.But at this time, the door of the yard suddenly opened with a "squeak", he turned his head, and saw Xiaoxian was wearing clothes, with panic on his face, and whispered: "Alan, are you there?"

Jian Zhonglan gently put the knife into the box and said, "I'm here. What's the matter?" "I woke up and didn't see you. I thought something happened." Xiaoxian stood at the door, her body trembling like a reed that could not withstand the night wind.Jian Zhonglan came over and said, "I'm going to go to war, I can't sleep, so I came to sharpen my knife." Xiaoxian suddenly hugged him and cried, "I had a dream." "What did you dream about? It scares you so much." Xiaoxian didn't speak, but tears kept streaming from her eyes.After a while, she raised her head and said in a low voice, "Alan, promise me that you will come back."

Jian Zhonglan said with some displeasure: "Of course I'll be right back if the rebels are defeated." Xiaoxian stopped talking and just hugged him tightly.Jian Zhonglan wanted to push her away, but as soon as his hand touched her shoulder, he couldn't help but hugged her, and said softly: "I will come back, I will definitely come back." The moonlight is miserable, also like ice.This is the first full moon in the new autumn. Maybe, the next time the moon is full, I will already be back. Jian Zhonglan looked at the moonlight and thought lightly. "If there is no war, then how nice it would be for us to live happily together." Xiaoxian murmured while hugging him.

Yes, if there is no war, the common people in the four seas can recuperate and live their lives in peace, that would be great.He patted Xiaoxian on the shoulder and said, "It will come, this day will definitely come." He took Xiaoxian into the door. Just as the door was closed, the log he had just placed on the well platform suddenly split in two.
