The soldiers guarding the gate were very nervous. There had been no war in Beishan Fort Baihusuo for a long time, and everyone was a novice.

Now it was getting dark again. When they saw someone coming, several archers immediately loaded their arrows, trembling and shouted: "Who is it?"

Wu Nian's eyelids jumped. Are these guys still soldiers? They are all blind.

I came here alone, are you afraid of being like this?!!

"Don't be nervous, it's Wu Nian, the drunkard." A relatively calm veteran stopped his comrade's urge to shoot his bow, and said after taking a serious look at Wu Nian's face.

"It turns out it's you, an alcoholic. Don't scare me like that. I almost shot you to death."

"Yes. My hands were shaking so much that I almost ejaculated."

Several archers were cursing.

Wu Nian raised his right middle finger towards them. Of course, the archers could not understand this gesture.

"Old Ding, what is going on?" Wu Nian took a deep breath and went up to ask the veteran.

"I don't know what's going on. I just heard that the Mongolian people have gone south. Master Baihu ordered us to guard Baihu Station and strengthen training."

"The order came down yesterday. Did your kid just come back from going into the mountains?"

Lao Ding took a look at Wu Nian's attire and guessed.

"Yeah." Wu Nian nodded and exhaled. No Meng Yuan people directly attacked Baihusuo. It's okay. It's okay.

But he also felt that it was a bit troublesome. The order came down yesterday, and he was still in the mountains.

That is to say, he did not return to the team.

Under normal circumstances, it doesn't matter. The military discipline of the Great Chu Kingdom has been weakened. The fact that he did not return to the army immediately is a big or small matter.

But the small flag on his head is actually Li Ding.

Zhang Yong’s wife and brother.

"It's best not to mess with me." Wu Nian thought to himself.

After Wu Nian said a few words to Lao Ding, he carried a bamboo basket and entered the Beishan Fort because it was relatively close to Chen's courtyard.

Wu Nian arrived at Chen's yard first. Her house was still the same, the door was leaky, but it was closed properly.

"Bang bang bang. Ya'er. It's me, your Uncle Wu." Wu Nian banged on the door and said loudly.

The door was opened quickly, but it was not Li Ya who came out, but Chen.

Wu Nian was a little embarrassed, but he quickly calmed down and looked up at Chen. He saw that her face looked much better than the previous few days, but her body was still shivering in the cold wind.

"Sister, why are you out? Come in quickly." Wu Nian said quickly.

"I'm fine. But it's you. I told you not to go, but you didn't listen. It made me really worried." Mrs. Chen looked at her childhood sweetheart's face, blinked her eyes, and after confirmation, she said happily.

There are jackals on this mountain. After Wu Nian left, she has been worried until now.

She is the dominatrix of the hundred households, her father and her mother are her husband. She is very unpopular. Although she doesn't like Wu Nian's treatment of Liu Xiang, she has to admit it.

Among the hundred households, Wu Nian was the only one who often came to her house. Moreover, the incident of jumping into the well greatly changed her impression of Wu Nian.

If this childhood sweetheart changes his personality, he will still be a good childhood sweetheart.

"Uncle Wu." Li Ya suddenly popped up from behind Chen and looked at Wu Nian with a smile.

"Ya'er, have you been good these days?" Wu Nian smiled and reached out to touch her hair.

"I've always been very good." Li Ya rolled her eyes at Wu Nian, then smiled again.

Then, Wu Nian and Chen's mother and daughter came to the main room together. Wu Nian bent down, put down the bamboo basket, opened up the deer skin covering it, took out a deer leg and some chopped meat, and handed it to Chen.

Shi said: "Sister, I hunted a big deer. These will help you improve your food."

"I won't return the bow and arrows. I'll use them next time."

"Gulu" sounded. Li Ya's throat moved, her eyes looked directly at the venison, and she made a clearly audible sound of swallowing saliva.

Wu Nian felt a pain in his heart. Although Li Ya was not thin, she could not eat more than a few mouthfuls of meat.

Mrs. Chen was a little embarrassed by her daughter's posture. But she quickly put it down, looked at Wu Nian in surprise, and covered her mouth in disbelief.

"You actually hunted such a big deer?"

This childhood sweetheart really surprised her again and again. A bad drunkard and a bad gambler suddenly changed.

Moreover, this boy has played with her since childhood, and she has never seen him fire a bow a few times.

Soon, Ms. Chen realized what she was doing, shook her head and said, "You can take this meat back by yourself. Liu Xiang, I need to replenish my health. I still have money for medicine."

She was delicate. She shook her head repeatedly, causing a blush to appear on her cheeks, and she was panting. There was no shelter in this world. Although she was wearing thick clothes, it was really turbulent as her body swayed.

Wu Nian was very serious and didn't look much. He just patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, sister. This is just a small test for me. I can hunt such a big deer today, and I can hunt more tomorrow. My family will not be short."

Meat, sister, you are the same."

That's it. Wu Nian didn't wait for Chen to refuse further, picked up the bamboo basket, turned around and ran away.

"Xiao Nian." Mrs. Chen wanted to catch up, but she was out of breath after only a few steps. She held on to the door frame and was just panting. But Li Ya was already holding the deer meat and wouldn't let go, and her saliva was drooling. She looked silly.

He looked at his mother and said, "Mom, I want to eat braised pork."

Ms. Chen felt sour in her heart and her eyes were astringent. She reached out and touched her daughter's forehead, nodded and said, "Okay, okay. Let's eat braised venison tonight."

This orphaned and widowed mother is pitiful. If their family had a man in charge, their daughter wouldn't be so stupid that she can't walk after seeing meat.

Mrs. Chen's heart was filled with sorrow and she wept silently.

............

After leaving Chen's courtyard, Wu Nian quickly returned to his own courtyard. The courtyard door was closed. Wu Nian wanted to go up and knock on the door, but he was a little timid because of his hometown feelings.

I haven't heard any bad news from my sister. Xiang'er must be feeling better, and her mind should be clearer now.

She jumped into the well and committed suicide, but she did not die. After she regained consciousness, she must have known that I had saved her.

How is she feeling now?

Does she still hate me?

Wu Nian smiled bitterly and shook his head. How long has it been since I, a majestic seven-foot-tall man, a mercenary who kills without blinking an eye, traveled here?

He was already squirming.

Everyone has a home in their hearts.

A man who returns home will always become softer.

Especially when there are women at home.

Wu Nian calmed down and reached out to pat the door.

"Bang bang bang."

"Xiang'er, it's me. I'm back." Wu Nian shouted in a neither gentle nor serious voice.

Not long after, there was a rush of footsteps in the yard, as if something was running towards him.

A slight smile appeared on Wu Nian's lips, and fantasies appeared in his mind involuntarily.

After Liu Xiang learned about the situation, she couldn't help crying with joy.

Forgive me for everything. From now on, my wife and children will live happily together.

With a "creak", the door opened.
