Chapter 854 Hopeless City (122)
Just pick up the pen and write down a few words on the paper in front of you.
"Everything has its ups and downs, but in the end we will see the dawn again. Why don't we just call them Jun Ke, Jun Li."
"Very good, the meaning is very good."
——
It seems like the days are going to go on like this.
After a day or two of waiting, it turned into settling down, and everyone slowly accepted it. Letters from home were sent out, and there was a little more hope in their hearts. With this hope of reunion, this group of soldiers took off their armor and learned to plow the fields. Farm.
There are no plowing oxen, but fortunately the young men are stronger than the oxen and can work quickly and well.
This dead city that had been empty for a long time finally became more vibrant. The old people took out the seeds they had hidden and watched these heroes from the border plant the seeds.
They have supplies and will share them with the elderly and children in the city without hesitation. This is how the days before early spring pass.
The happiest person in the city during this time was Mr. Lu Qi.
Because there was a reply to the letter he sent home, a month after the messenger left, a sealed letter was delivered to the city.
After opening the letter, the old man had fun all day long. He would show the letter in his hand to everyone he met. His excited and joyful look was not at all like that of an old man in his sixties.
Now everyone in the city knew that the girl the old man liked when he was young had replied to him, and the letter also promised him to come to Guanhai City to find him. In addition, the girl had never married before receiving the letter. I almost lost my hair and became a nun and fled into Buddhism.
Fortunately, the messenger arrived in time, otherwise the old man Li Luqi would have been a bachelor for the rest of his life.
This matter sounds like a fantasy, whether from the perspective of sending the letter or from the perspective of replying to the letter.
The address where the old man sent the letter was more than thirty years ago. He had no idea whether the letter could be delivered to her. What was even more unbelievable was that the old lady had lived there and never left. She still had her whole life. Not married!
In this turbulent era where wars are everywhere, sometimes once a mother and her son are separated, they may never see each other again.
What's more, Lu Qi and the old lady only fell in love when they were young. They were not engaged or married. It was a girl who was supposed to get married. She could keep a lover whose life and death were unknown for more than thirty years. This kind of relationship was rare and unheard of, let alone It's really happening around us. Lu Qi couldn't believe it either.
After having fun during the day, he would talk to Zhou Ye with a bottle of wine at night.
Together, they are a grandfather and a grandson, and their relationship is more like a close friendship. Lu Qi has raised her since she was a child. No one is closer than Zhou Ye.
Facing the moonlight, they each held a bottle of wine in their hands.
"Hey... I didn't expect that she would be here."
When Zhou Ye was lying down, it was the first time he heard the old man talk about that person so seriously. He took a sip of wine and asked him a question to save his face.
"Isn't it good to come?"
"I feel sorry for her... It has been almost forty years since she left. I just wanted to try my luck. Unexpectedly, she is still there."
Zhou Ye was quite interested in the woman the old man was talking about. The wine bottles collided and the old man continued.
"When she was young, she was the most beautiful girl in the whole town. She was from a wealthy family and was the daughter of the prefect. I was a poor boy who worked in her house. Later, because of my skill, I became a bodyguard of the prefect's family."
"I also like pretty girls."
Zhou Ye took a sip of wine and his face turned red.
The old man glanced at her.
"You should like strong boys, not pretty girls."
"I like everything that looks good."
