Dream Breaks One Day - C152
To Zhuang Li, compared to that Prime Minister Zhao, Uncle Zheng was actually a person who was even more amiable. When Zhuang Li was kicked out of the sect with no one to rely on, the Uncle Zheng actually gave him the greatest amount of care.
From what Li Liangxiao had said, they had also fallen into an extremely miserable situation after the bandits had brought Uncle Zheng and Li Liangxiao away, and then encountered the troops sent by the Emperor to station themselves at the border.
An old uncle bringing along a young and thin child to live with the army, and what kind of hardship and hardship did he have, Zhuang Li naturally understood. He had to rely on helping out in the army in exchange for food and clothing. He even helped the soldiers in the army to make up for their clothing and maintain their livelihood.
She had always felt ashamed of that little life so full of courage and that kind old uncle. If it wasn’t for her, this destitute young lady, she probably wouldn’t have encountered such a situation. A good person would always be rewarded, so the current life was probably the best for them, even more so than the life of the lofty Prime Minister Zhao.
As Zhuang Li thought about this, she unknowingly felt like crying too.
It was unknown when the child who brought them here ran into the house. His dirty face had already been washed clean by his brothers who were outside.
“This child is called Spiritual Light.” Lil ‘White gave it to him, because his brain isn’t very bright. ” Uncle Zheng slowly said, as he held the child in his arms.
Zhuang Li originally felt a bit of pain in her heart, but upon hearing this, she started laughing out loud. Could it be that she really needed to call it lacking something? Do you want to make up for what you eat? Where did this logic come from?
And let free… It was really enough …
“This child always runs outside. If he doesn’t come back soon, we will go out and find him. He doesn’t seem to be able to stay at home.”
Zhuang Li reached out and rubbed the child’s head. I wish you would be as bright as your name.
Li Liangxiao had always been working hard. At a young age, he had been helping the army camp work, secretly following behind the soldiers to study until the general took a fancy to him. He then entered the army camp and helped him deliver a few messages. Uncle Zheng helped the army drive the carriages and send them the food.
Although Uncle Zheng didn’t have a top student in high school, he was still an Elementary Scholar who had studied hard for ten years. He helped the army with their daily jobs during the day and taught Li Liangxiao how to write at night.
Li Liangxiao’s intelligence was quickly noticed by the general. No matter what he did, he started to like to bring Li Liangxiao along, so that Li Liangxiao could do things for him while teaching him martial arts and military affairs.
Before Li Liangxiao reached adulthood, he was already a small army commander.
When Uncle Zheng said these words, he felt both heartache and pride …
Zhuang Li could imagine how much effort that child must have put in in order for him to reach where he was today, from having nothing at all on his shoulders to not being worried about his food and clothing at all. He fell down and got up again and again during practice, climbing out from the pile of corpses on the battlefield time and again.
Although the soldiers of West Cold had not reached their strongest, they could definitely trust Xi Cuo’s abilities. Zhuang Li knew how brave Xi Cuo’s army was. But Big Phoenix still won. At that time, she didn’t know that the Great Phoenix Army had a younger brother, the young General Li, who was his younger brother, Li Liangxiao.
He had brought her across the endless West Cold and traveled a long distance, yet there was only a veil separating them. What if Li Liangxiao had recognized that she was Zhuang Li at that time? What would happen?
She would perhaps stay in the capital with Li Liangxiao, or else she would not enter the Imperial Palace, nor would she fall in love with the emperor, nor would she encounter the Prince Bi.
But there was no possibility in life.
But she had never regretted it.
She felt sorry for that little brother of hers. He had suffered a lot, and she was always afraid that he would suffer a loss when he was such an innocent child. He still felt sad just thinking about it. He had no choice but to rub his eyes as if the wind was blowing on him.
“Miss, don’t be sad, we didn’t feel any pain, we saw those soldiers, it was also hard, we are at the back of the army camp, although the conditions are a bit difficult, but that general is very good at fighting, in the end he is still safe, but the soldiers that are with us are the ones that go to the front, every time we go, we come back with fewer people.” Some people still have corpses. Some people can’t even find bones. ”
Uncle Zheng paused for a moment and continued.
At least we don’t have to fight anymore. The filial piety that was sent to visit West Cold was only to pass down orders from the Emperor or to rectify and manage the situation. These past few years, I have been feeling much more at ease than when I was fighting in the past.
“That’s right, the Emperor had reorganized the borders for so many years and attacked the capital city from the border. How many soldiers’ blood did he use to exchange for his return …”
“Later on, the emperor took a fancy to the filial piety and wanted the filial piety to stay by his side. However, two years earlier, he had to go to the West Cold no matter what, and I knew that he was going to look for you. Ever since he was young, he has only known older sister in his dreams. ”
“…”
“The person he can’t let go of the most right now is you, Miss. As long as you are well, we can rest assured. ”
Zhuang Li felt unwell in her heart, both unwell and warm. However, it seemed that because of these feelings, she felt that her life was complete and strong.
This house was especially quiet. As he sat in the house and watched the bamboo outside the window sway slightly in the breeze, it seemed as if his heart had become especially soft. She crawled out of the window, opened her eyes, and closed them again.
The Uncle Zheng taught the children how to read just like how he taught the children that year when he was taking care of Li Liangxiao. Currently, there were seven to eight children in the courtyard. Some were around ten years old, while others were around five to six years old.
It was said that before, there were even more children, just that they had learnt some martial arts from the Uncle Zheng. Some of them had even learned a few martial arts from Li Liangxiao, and were already able to cook and eat on their own. He would also often come back to help the Uncle Zheng take care of his brother.
Uncle Zheng was especially proud when he mentioned this.
“It’s only going to be lively during the new year. Are all these homeless people coming back? It’s going to be really lively here.”
Zhuang Li also laughed when she heard this. They were all people who had lost their loved ones, but now, this seemed to be a way to make up for the regrets in their lives. She now had countless relatives and family to care for.
The lunch was made by an aunt, Li Liangxiao hired two servants, one of them was in charge of cooking, while the other one was a strong man who helped pick out the oil and salt from the money grubbers. In the past, this was all done by the Uncle Zheng, but he was still old. Although they were not willing to be served, they were still forced by Li Liangxiao to hire two people.
In truth, for a young and capable general like Li Liangxiao, who would have thought that there were only two servants in his house? Which official in the capital didn’t have three wives, four concubines, and a bunch of servants to follow him around and wait on him? However, there were only two servants in her little brother’s house, a cute old uncle and a bunch of cute children. But this family made Zhuang Li exceptionally warm and proud.
The lunch was made by the aunt, so Zhuang Li helped her cut vegetables. Qing You was in charge of searching for rice. It was obvious that Yun Duan was also extremely happy, probably because the atmosphere here was just too warm. It was probably similar to the Immortal Crane Mountain that he grew up in.
They were all strangers who were unrelated to each other, yet they formed a new family in the mountains. They cared for each other and cherished each other as they grew up.
Qing You naturally did not know about the matter regarding the Fairy Crane Villa.
“Are there a lot of cranes?”
“Yes.”
“Are there any deities?”
“Of course.”
Zhuang Li was extremely happy, and she wondered how Yun Duan’s junior brother would be like right now … Had their master really thrown them into some strange and terrifying place?
Although Uncle Zheng said that Li Liangxiao currently had a lot of military pay, and that he could not only save a lot of money, he was also a great general after all, and directly helped the Emperor. They had bought the house years ago, and now it was no problem for them to raise so many children. But Xiao Jiu’s mind still started to whirl rapidly.
It was enough now, but it might not be enough in the future. Can’t my little brother marry a wife? With so many children here, who knew if they would be able to collect more. Could it be that everyone was huddled together to sleep? I’m still waiting to pick up my nephew…
She brought a lot of jewelry from the West Cold, as well as the emperor’s occasional rewards from time to time, which were all still stored in the cabinet under the Imperial Study bed. They were all very valuable things, so she sold them to Li Liangxiao for a big house. Otherwise, she could just buy the two families next door and set up a lot of new properties. She was just waiting for her little brother to marry a virtuous wife and give birth to a whole house of young children.
Just thinking about it made him happy.
In fact, Uncle Zheng had been worrying about this issue since a long time ago. Every time Li Liangxiao took the money, he would give it to the Uncle Zheng to take care of. Other than raising those children, the rest of the Uncle Zheng s had all been put away, they only wanted Li Liangxiao to become his family. Although these children were not related to him by blood, they had long ago become closer than father and son. He would probably wake up from his sleep smiling as he hugged the baby that Li Liangxiao gave birth to.
Out of the three bedrooms, he even made himself and the children sleep in the other two, leaving the largest one out, implying Li Liangxiao to bring the woman back quickly … But Li Liangxiao was not enlightened, he went back to walk around, and found that Uncle Zheng and the children were all crowded together in the other two rooms, so he pulled the children to sleep in his room, while he made a camp bed on the side …
The Uncle Zheng didn’t have any other choice but to sigh and shake his head, blaming himself for not teaching this child properly … Everyone was happy to hear that.
