Chapter 21: The Triumphant Return in the Sunset
Men are out on the road, while women are at home on the lookout. Not only the eldest mother and aunt in the Boy Scouts, but also the relatives of the soldiers who went out on the expedition are also here.
"It's a little cold. Mother-in-law, you better go back! Someone persuaded him to do so. But the mother-in-law said, "No! I'm not going back! I'm going to wait for my little son to come back! He went to war to avenge his father and brother and kill the Tartars! I'm going to wait for my only loved one to come back! Speaking of this, a determined look appeared on her face that had gone through the vicissitudes of life.
The old man was looking forward to the return of his son, the woman was craning her neck for her husband's safety, and the child was waiting for his father's return.
The whole avenue is very lively, much more lively than the bustling streets of the county seat and the state town! There are also many more people.
Some old people simply sat here with dry food, waiting for news, as eagerly as Qin Huaiyu and the others, stretching their necks to look at it from afar! Because they can't sit still at home, even if it's a little bit of wind and grass, it's very good to know the Tao a second earlier.
O dear! Come back quickly! Do you know that the relatives at home are already looking through the autumn water! I hope you return triumphantly, and I hope you bring back the victorious news that we are safe and our homeland has been saved.
In the hope of the people, time passed minute by minute, and the whole red sun in the sky was about to sink in the west, and the afterglow of the setting sun still wanted to stay in the world longer!
"Alas!" Someone sighed and said, "It seems that I can't wait for their news again!" I wonder how they're doing? Is it possible to defeat the Tartars and we can rebuild our homeland? The most important thing is that the family can be together safely, and it is best to live an ordinary life! ”
But it can't be done! As a result of the Manchu invasion. You or you are slaughtered. Or be oppressed. Or rise up and defend your homeland. Bloody men will naturally choose to fight foreign enemies to the end.
Many people are sighing, their relatives still haven't come back, it seems that they have to go back, and they have to suffer another night of worry! I don't know when this ordeal will end!
"Boom! Boom! At this moment, the sound of a rush was the sound of a large army marching, and it looked like a horse team! Could it be that they were defeated? The Manchus are coming?
Because they dared to fight against the Manchus. The Manchus would have retaliated by a policy of massacre, and the best way to do that now was to have them all leave and go to a safe place.
Qin Huaiyu shouted: "Everyone go quickly!" to a safe place! Get out of here! Qin Huaiyu said to the healthy woman and some men: "We are going to block the enemy here!" So that everyone can go to a safe place safely! ”
When Qin Huaiyu said this, her heart was also filled with a trace of sadness, how could they stop the enemy army with such a few people? It's really an enemy army, they all have to die!
Women and young people have chosen to leave, only some elderly people have chosen to stay here, if their relatives are killed in the war, what hope is there for them to live?
They're old. I would rather exchange my old life for the survival of young people, and the offspring can be regarded as a continuation of myself. The offspring are dead, and no matter how long they live, they are also walking dead. Of course, the old man was anxious to drive the young man out of the city.
Qin Huaiyu didn't leave, she wanted to stay, she couldn't help but hold the porcelain bottle in her hand, the porcelain bottle was filled with poison, Zhang Biwu was dead, what fun did she have to live?
Qin Huaiyu didn't leave, neither did the aunt and aunts, and neither Caiyun and Caixia, including Qin Huaiyu's maids, left. Dai Lisi also looked at it, she was ready to die for Zhang Biwu and die with Qin Huaiyu.
Come on! Tartars, the Han people you can see are not only men with blood, but also stand up to the sky, even our women are women with eyebrows, not afraid of strong enemies!
In the red light of the dusk, there were cavalry, and the cavalry was still holding banners, and the figures were stretched long.
Friend or foe? Qin Huaiyu clenched the porcelain vase tighter, and he didn't dare to come out. The other women did the same, their eyes staring straight into the distance.
In the red light of the setting sun, they saw people as small as ants, like red people, red and purple. Red represents good luck, and will these people who are red and purple be relatives who have returned triumphantly?
In fact, the women, girls, and children who had just fled did not go far, they were still looking at it from afar, how they were looking forward to their relatives! And not enemies, not jackals, tigers and leopards.
They all held their breath and waited. But the other party's army first shouted excitedly: "It's them! Our loved ones came to pick us up! Ha Lu Ha! They are waiting for us! ”
Such cheers were heard, and someone heard them. An old woman who was blind couldn't help but exclaim excitedly: "It's my talent!" It's talented! I hear the voice of the genius! ”
The old woman immediately stood up, and she went towards the sound of the voice, and someone immediately came to help her, for fear that she would fall.
All of a sudden, people were like they had exploded! It's their loved ones who have returned! Loved ones must have returned triumphantly with victory! Their homeland will not be taken away, and they and their children and grandchildren will sing happily and live happily in their own land, in their homeland.
See! Exactly their loved ones! They were all red and red, and I don't know if it was the afterglow of the setting sun or the joy of their victory, they all looked red and purple.
"Victory! We've won! We're back! This is the best relief for loved ones.
The people who are waiting are coming to their relatives, and the soldiers who have returned in triumph are also going to their relatives.
From a distance, this large group of people looked like horizontal rows dotted on the setting sun, becoming clearer and clearer as they got closer and closer.
The sunset in the west also seemed to be overshadowed by their huge crowd.
While the big silk was waving in the wind, Qin Huaiyu's eyes were sharp, and she could see it clearly, isn't this the big silk she weaved? It's the husband who is back! They triumphed! Our army has won! Our home has been saved, and so has our land! We can still live on the land that our ancestors have left behind!
"It's Lord Zhentai! It's the big book of the town of the people! Our army is victorious! This shout, as if infecting everyone, spread rapidly. Everyone is shouting.
"Look! This is a big banner! One by one, the banners of the characters! It's really Lord Zhentai! People shouted excitedly.
Although the banner with the character "Zhang" and the banner with the character "Ming" they saw were tattered, in their eyes, they felt that the brand-new and beautiful banner was even better-looking, because the banners were infiltrated with the blood of warriors, and they also brought hope and happiness to all people! Tell them - victory!
The troops coming from the opposite side seemed to be responding to their relatives on this side, and at the same time shouting and cheering: "We have won!" Victory! The Tartars are defeated! ”
Confirmed! This is its own army! At the same time, the people shouted as if in response: "We have won!" ”
Yes! We've won! Under the setting sun, one by one the cavalry appeared on the horizon, and they were already very close to their relatives! The bridge they built together was – we were victorious!
They ran to their loved ones like crazy! They are entitled to enjoy the joy of victory and the joy of reuniting with their loved ones.
Nothing can stop you from getting together! No, one of the horsemen jumped off his horse, the other stumbled, and almost fell, fortunately he had better stabilize his body, but he ignored so much and still pounced on his relatives.
"Daddy!" A child ran as fast as he could, and the boy, like a man like the wind, threw himself straight into the arms of the cavalryman. At this time, the whole person dispersed, and people rushed to their relatives.
Nothing could stop them from being together at the moment, and people were hugging each other tightly and rejoicing. Everyone is talking about parting.
"Son! You're back! Let my mother take a good look! A gray-haired old woman caresses her squatting son's hair, while her son stares at his mother with tears in his eyes, hoping that he will never have to fight again and will always be by his parents' side.
If you are not happy or happy with your loved ones, you really don't know what could be better than this.
When Qin Huaiyu saw this scene, she smiled, laughed very happily, and thought day and night that she had finally brought her relatives back! It's just great!
"Where's Daddy?" Xiao Xiaoyao came to Qin Huaiyu's arms, and he looked around with his smart eyes open to find Zhang Biwu.
"Click!" Dai Lisi pinched her finger bones and said loudly: "Zhang Biwu won't be fascinated by some woman again, right?" If he doesn't come back, I'll make him look good! ”
"Hey, hey! Tigress, who do you want to look good at? "It's Zhang Biwu! Zhang Biwu appeared with a smile.
Qin Huaiyu couldn't care about it so much, she pounced into Zhang Biwu's arms like a bird, and Dai Lisi also came with her.
Dai Lisi looked at Zhang Biwu and said, "It's okay!" Safe! Nothing! Worthy of being my Delis's husband! Ha Lu Ha! It's strong! ”
Zhang Biwu also patted his chest and said, "Of course! Your husband is so powerful, who can hurt me! My brutal wife! Dai Lisi smiled, and actually took the initiative to hug Zhang Biwu. Qin Huaiyu, Dai Lisi, and Zhang Biwu hugged each other.
At this time, people are hugging each other tightly, and there is nothing about it! Because they were overjoyed to see the return of their families after facing life and death, they did not need to pay attention to the image of anyone who was present and who wanted to follow the rites and religions.
