From the few sergeants entering the door was a tall and thin man, with short eyebrows, he seemed calm and serious. Behind him was a big red-faced man with a beard, awe-inspiring.
Hearing someone inquiring about General Qiu’s situation, they did not immediately introduce their general with enthusiasm like ordinary people, but showed a skeptical look.
The tall and thin man looked at Yuan Xiang and the others calmly and saw that they were from the Central Plains and were accompanied by young female relatives, only then did he slightly eased his expression and sat down directly in front of Zhou Deyun.
“Why do you want to inquire about our general?”
Zhou Deyun had always lived in the hinterland of the Central Plains. He spent his days composing poems, drinking and traveling to listen to music. There were none other than elegant, handsome and gentle people.
Suddenly, a group of soldiers, with the murderous aura that had not faded on the battlefield, clattered in armor and blades like frost, sat in front of him with a clatter, so he could not help but feel a chill on his back.
He naturally didn’t dare to say that their general was his own wife and he stammered for a while and didn’t know how to answer.
The red faced man was impatient. Seeing that Zhou Deyun hesitated and couldn’t answer, he swung his palm the size of a fan and hit the table, “You are here to ask about my general’s news, but I can’t answer your question. Were you sent by the Hu people?”
Zhou Deyun was startled by him and his heart suddenly filled with grievances.
In the past, when he went out, he was always with servants. Everyone complimented him and he had never been wronged. However, during this period of time, he slept in the open air, was frightened by huge demons, passed through the bone-laden villages and was yelled at by these soldiers which made him feel aggrieved.
‘You soldiers, what are you so proud of? I’ll see the general later. If it’s really my wife, I’ll see how I let her deal with you,’ he thought bitterly in his heart.
“We are General Qiu’s fellow from the same hometown. Because we heard that the general is here, we wanted to see him,” Qiu Yueming took over the conversation for Zhou Deyun.
He looked at the group of brothers in front of him with excitement in his heart, but he couldn’t show any clues on his face, but his eyes were slightly red.
The thin and tall man’s name was Xiao Lin and the red-faced man was Zhu Xinyi. Xiao Lin was calm, Zhu Xinyi was brave, they were his two closest brothers.
They both blocked swords for each other and pulled each other out of the pile of dead people several times. They were brothers who lived together and had a life-long friendship. He once thought that he would be separated from these brothers forever and there would be no day to meet again. Unexpectedly, there was still a chance to see them face to face that day.
Xiao Lin was also looking at the woman in front of him. He never got married, but he also knew that in the frontier fortress, the status of women was very low and when normal men talked, women were not qualified to interrupt.
In his impression, no matter where he went to be a guest, the women didn’t dare to look at them directly. Not to mention such a public interruption, they were not even qualified to go to the dinner table.
However, the person speaking in front of him was different from an ordinary woman. She sat there with her back straightened habitually, her hands resting on her knees naturally, her eyes were clear and she was looking directly at him without any sense of shame.
Xiao Lin inexplicably saw a sense of familiarity in this woman. It seemed that she was not an unfamiliar woman, but a brother that he should be familiar with.
“Are you my general’s fellow from the same hometown?” Xiao Lin asked, putting aside the strange thoughts in his mind.
Qiu Yueming swallowed the familiar name that he had almost blurted out and calmed his mind, “Since you are General Qiu’s brothers, you must have heard the general mention that there is a wild jujube forest in the back mountain of his hometown. The dates are very delicious. There is a small river at the foot of the mountain. The freshwater bivalves are big and delicious. General Qiu had a partner named Da Pang who had been going up the mountain and down the river since he was a child. It was a pity that Da Pang was killed by the Hu people who invaded the village when he was thirteen years old.”
It was a snowy night. They were besieged by the enemy for several days, running out of food and water, hiding behind the trenches, gnawing on the snow on the ground to fill their stomachs.
Qiu Yueming talked about the food in his hometown, the sweet jujube, the freshwater bivalves and his childhood friend who was looking for food with him.
“Yes, that’s right, the general only talked to us about this. You seem to be the general’s fellows.”
When Zhu Xinyi heard that, he no longer doubted them. He clapped his palm, came forward and took Zhou Deyun’s hand and shook it vigorously, “Ashamed, ashamed. Lao Zhu is a rough man. Fellow villagers, we will take you to see our general.”
Several people put down their guard, took out the forthright enthusiasm of the men in the north of the Great Wall, and led Zhou Deyun and his party to the general’s house.
All the way, Yuan Xiang and others asked about General Qiu’s current situation.
