[Han Wu Huo Wei] Yuan hunting seven years

Chapter 11 Extra Story: White-headed Sima 1

[-]. Draw the bow

In the second year of Yuanguang, the emperor of Han sent 30 elite soldiers from four routes to set up Fumai, with the intention of annihilating [-] main forces of the Xiongnu in one fell swoop.The news was not confidential, the Xiongnu fled halfway, and the Han Fourth Army was so worried that they did not dare to fight.

The news of Ma Yi's meritorious service spread to Chang'an, and the ordinary people were not touched much.After all, there were no casualties in this battle of the Han army, and some people even felt that the young emperor would not be able to use his sword. After learning this lesson, he probably would not go to war easily. An old lady in Jianzhanglu was relieved, so she would not be afraid to marry her daughter For the soldiers.

Wei Qing jumped off the horse, and was about to call out "Qubing", but heard a pleasant voice saying happily: "Brother Wei is back!" Following the sound, a little girl with long hair, thin eyebrows and thin eyes flashed out of the door. She is the only daughter of the landlady, Axian.

In the past two years, Jianzhanglu's families with unmarried daughters all admire Axian's vision. Back then, she was the only one who took in the nephew and uncle who were looking for a house. Today, Mrs. Mo Daowei is in the palace. Zhong's favor is growing day by day, Master Wei himself is also motivated, he has been promoted to Taizhong doctor not long ago, he is handsome, good-tempered, young and promising, he is really a good son-in-law of Chenglong!

Although these words were spoken behind Ah Xian's back, she heard a few of them. So, at some point, when Ah Xian saw "Brother Wei" again, she felt a hazy feeling in her heart, always wanting to do something for him. Do something to be happy.On this day, one of her little sister's brothers was working under Wei Qing's errand, so he tipped off the news early in the morning, Master Wei asked for a day off, as if he was going home.

For this reason, Ah Xian has been busy in the kitchen for a whole day, carefully adding ingredients to cook a particularly good piece of cured lamb, which made her mother laugh all the time.

Wei Qing didn't realize the love of such a child, just like the lotus red ramie train that Axian specially put on for him, which had only been worn three times, it was also a pearl thrown in the dark, but he could smell the smell of cured mutton It's here, but Wei Qing is so anxious to find his precious nephew at this moment, he can't care about anything, only wonders that A Xian has come out, why didn't Qu Bing hear the sound of his horse's hooves?

"Brother Wei." The girl blushed. "Mother, my mother said that there is roast lamb tonight, please, you come together."

Wei Qing subconsciously swallowed, but only smiled softly: "Not today, tomorrow is Qubing's birthday, and we want to spend it together."

As he said that, Wei Qing's eyes lit up again, even brighter than when he heard the roast mutton just now.A Xian wondered why Wei Qing couldn't go to her house for dinner when Huo Qubing celebrated his birthday.Wei Qing couldn't bear it any longer, and yelled into the courtyard.

"Quick!"

"Ah, he's not here, he went out to play after lunch."

Upon hearing this, Wei Qing turned around and left. After walking two steps, thinking of how rude he was, he looked back and smiled apologetically.A Xian hurriedly returned the salute, looked up and saw him jumping on the horse easily, and disappeared into the dusk like flying one by one.Ah Xian was not annoyed by his absent-minded and hasty look, and the girl's eyes were still full of gentle smiles.

A Niang often sighed, Wei Qing is a rare good person, he is half a child, how much older than that nephew, it is not easy to pull a child by himself.

Why is it not easy?After all, Axian is young and lives with her mother, she is used to being coquettish, she only seems to understand half of it, and she and the uncle and nephew can be regarded as playmates who grew up together. It was great fun.

Wei Qing has such a good temper, but every time he sees his little nephew, nine times out of ten he puts on a tiger's face.

This person usually doesn't talk much, but he is very good at training his nephew to be eloquent. He talks non-stop and looks fierce.

Such a calm person can't hold back when he sees his nephew.

But every time the training is over, the uncle and nephew are as good as one person again.

Able to talk and laugh and babble for half a night, even though they are words that most people can't understand...

It didn't take Wei Qing much effort to find Huo Qubing, who was playing war with a group of children from Jianzhanglu by the river.As the sun sets, slingshots and wooden swords fly together, and the clear river turns into the Chu River and the Han border. The future warriors are divided into two armies, shouting and fighting, and they are all killed like mud balls. If you have the upper hand, your opponent will be defeated immediately.The little general who commanded the team had a round face, usually covered in mud and black, with a self-sufficient expression, and a stern air of strategizing.His uncle was so happy that he almost fell off his horse when he saw how cute it was.

The nephew's corner, of course, must be left to my uncle to tear it down.Seeing his aura, Wei Qing rubbed his stomach aching from laughing, without making a sound, relying on the familiar location, he went around far to the other side, and quietly found one or two Xiaoni who were bullied by his nephew and were on the verge of crying. Ball, whispered a few words.

With a backing, it's really different!

In an instant, the outcome was reversed.The little boys who were full of ambition just now were suddenly caught in a trick. They couldn't get in touch with each other for a while, and couldn't rescue each other.

Huo Qubing was also dumbfounded, but only kept silent, and suddenly he smiled brightly and said cheerfully.

"Uncle is here, Qubing admit defeat!"

Wei Qing couldn't guard against it, so he could only smile sarcastically, touch his nose and come out.

Under the last setting sun, the young man smiled and suddenly bent over and lifted the little boy onto the big horse. Without waiting for him to sit still, he jumped on the horse with his legs clamped, and rushed into the wind like lightning.

He rode so fast, but the little guy was not afraid, and struggled restlessly to stand up on the horse. Wei Qing lost his temper because of his fuss, and held the rein with one hand and hugged him with the other.Huo Qubing turned around as he wished, raised his face and arched his uncle's body, rubbing against Wei Qing's body was covered with mud, so he smiled so much that he showed two small canine teeth, oh, there is one left, the other fell out a few days ago , Wei Qing glared at him, just staring at the leaky teeth, his face was tense.

The uncle and nephew were riding on big horses, making a lot of noise and laughing all the way into the wind.

"When did Qu Bing guess that I was coming?"

"Early morning."

"Ha, that's clever!"

"Uncle black heart!"

"Uh, let's sell it to go to the sick, uncle black-hearted to exchange money to buy mutton head meat to eat."

"... How much will it cost?"

"...Upside down!"

It rained all night and the air was cool in the morning. Axian had to do housework and got up very early. While fetching water, she couldn't help but glance at Wei's house. As expected, there was no sound at all. Uncle and nephew will have another morning Went to practice martial arts.

There is Wei Qing's uncle, Huo Qubing learned swordsmanship at the age of four, and bow at the age of five, practicing the three-volt period in summer and three-nine in winter.

Today is his birthday.The way Wei Qing asked for leave to celebrate his birthday was to get up an hour earlier to practice martial arts until noon, recite military books while eating, and go to the blacksmith shop with Wei Qing in the afternoon to see the Han sword cast by the new method. Already arranged.

Throughout the morning, Huo Qubing had been practicing a few boring basic movements.

Standing position: the left shoulder faces the target, the left hand holds the bow, the feet are shoulder-width apart, and the body leans slightly forward;

Nocking the arrow and clacking the string: the right hand clasps the string with the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger, and holds the arrow with the right hand;

Pre-drawing: sinking the left arm, turning the elbow inward, pushing the bow with the left hand, the center of the bow is parallel to the line of sight;

Opening the bow: push the left shoulder, pull the right shoulder, and pull the string backward;

Off the string: At the same time as the right shoulder is exerting force, the three fingers of the right hand are quickly opened.

It is the golden autumn at this moment, the best season in Chang'an, and many aristocrats in fresh clothes and angry horses have also gone hunting in Nanshan. If they are lucky to meet Jinshang, it may be a fortune.Wei Huo Xiwu had already chosen a very remote place, but today the emperor seemed to be traveling, and upon hearing the news that there were too many people joining in the fun, he bumped into a few of them one after another.

Today's son is young and good at martial arts, and he is good at teaching and learning. As long as he can afford a bow and arrow, archery is also a compulsory skill for boys in Chang'an.Passing by a few self-proclaimed Wei Qing who knew Jianzhangying, knew that he was just a cavalry slave in the past, and that the nephew he brought with him was also an illegitimate child. Seeing that Huo Qubing practiced just a few movements, they felt contemptuous. Laughing loudly at "the world winds down, this kind of people also learn to ride and shoot" and so on.

Wei Qing turned a deaf ear to everything.

Huo Qubing imitated him and did not squint.

Before they knew it, the sun was high, both of them were sweating profusely, and Huo Qubing was almost like being picked up in the water. After practicing all morning, the bowstring scratched his face, Wei Qing saw it, But she didn't even blink her eyelids, she didn't move at all, she just stood there with him, motionless, with her back straight and her body loose.

When Axian came to deliver the lunch, she saw both of them standing under the burning sun, and the little Huo Qubing was still holding a surprisingly big bow.

Seeing her coming, Wei Qing only smiled and nodded his thanks, but he didn't show any intention of making Huo Qubing stop to eat.Ah Xian is also used to it. She has seen it with her own eyes. One day, Huo Qubing practiced so much that he vomited up the mung bean soup as soon as he took a sip. It was like this, and Wei Qing didn't see it.

In the girl's mind, Wei Qing had a very gentle smile, bright eyes, and a very pleasant voice.Wei Qing is really kind to his nephew, who is not a few years younger, and he is very caring. He is the person he puts on the top of his heart.He treats this person very special, the best and the strictest.

Sometimes, Ah Xian would secretly envy his little nephew. She often washed Wei Qing's clothes, and even used A Niang as a guise to cut two clothes for him as gifts. She knew that Big Brother Wei was tall and broad, so it was worth it. The appearance of relying on him, but only his little nephew can confidently hug his uncle's waist, lie on his uncle's back, and hug his uncle's shoulders without being rejected by his uncle.Ah Xian faintly felt that Wei Qing was very kind to everyone, but he was only really close to his little nephew. Just like A Niang said, they were also dependent on each other.

In fact, Mo Dao and Axian didn't understand, and Wei Qing himself couldn't explain why?Except for Qubing, he has never asked anyone like this before, nor has he since, and he has never even thought of it...

Practicing martial arts, reciting books, blacksmith shop, horse market, and going to the riverside to watch the stars at night... The cat and the mouse have been flopping around all day, and the moon is in the middle of the sky. Huo Qubing is full of energy, lively and active, and he is too tired to move at this moment .

Wei Qing ignored him, smiled and carried the little guy by his short arms to the river, hugged him in front of him, scooped up the river water to wash his face.The stars in the sky are shining brightly, and his Qubing’s eyes are also shining brightly. The young man felt very good when he saw it. He couldn’t bear to pinch the chubby face with his left hand. Huo Qubing felt the pain, and when he turned his face away, he kissed his bad uncle again with the right side. .

Now Huo Qubing is angry, the tiger doesn't show his power, uncle thinks I'm a sick cat?The little guy rolled his eyes, thought for a while, and still chose not to resist, with a soft childlike voice and a dignified expression, he actually sighed and said something.

"The strength of a small enemy is the capture of a great enemy."

What? !Wei Qing was very happy, he chatted with him on weekdays, Qu Bing really understood it!He looked at the little guy again, can't move anymore?There are uncles!Wei Qing smiled, stretched out his arms easily, and carried the little guy firmly on his back. The next moment, the familiar fat face was glued to his neck. Rejuvenated, Wei Qing strode home along the small river.

The moonlight is like water, the night is gentle, and some singing voices are faintly heard in the wind by the river, as if someone is singing "Sly Boy", singing repeatedly:

He is cunning and childish, don't talk to me.Because of Weizi, I can't eat.

He is cunning and childish, so he won't eat with me.Because of Weizi, I can't rest.

The song was lingering, and it was not very clear from a distance, the two of them couldn't hear it clearly and couldn't understand it, they just thought it sounded good.Wei Qing, carrying his heavy nephew on his shoulders, was in a good mood at the moment, and hummed a little song.

It was serious at the beginning, and it was about the past few years. Wei Qing was reading military books while coaxing the little guy to sleep, and when he saw something exciting, he sang it as a lullaby. I am angry and harassing..." Gradually, the taste changed, and it became something like "Quick listen to my plan, obediently fall into a dream, keep it, Qubing doesn't listen to my plan, fight over the wall, go away".

Huo Qubing was really tired, and he thought that "stay" didn't mean that, but he also fell on his back and didn't want to move at all. He could only listen to his uncle who was really energetic and sang all the way in a very gentle voice. , from "Sun Tzu's Art of War" to the warning-filled "Wei's Family Law".

Uncle's voice was very soft, full of shallow smiles, so nice to hear, only Huo Qubing could hear it, uncle's back was wide and warm, his big arms wrapped around him, steady, and he could vaguely hear his voice The heartbeat reassured Huo Qubing. He put his arms around his uncle's neck and listened to his uncle's random choreography.

At this time, the little boy should have easily fallen asleep happily.For some reason, Huo Qubing couldn't sleep.He always felt that his uncle had been a little silent recently, even if he was happily celebrating his birthday with him today, his brows would frown inadvertently.They both took this day very seriously, it was not only Huo Qubing's birthday, but also Wei Qing's.

In the past few years, the Wei family had various surprises one after another. No one cared about Huo Qubing’s birthday. Only his uncle remembered it clearly. Every year, he took him to the river to play, told him stories, and made something good for him. food.Wei Qing also likes to celebrate his birthday alone the most, and he is always happier than Huo Qubing himself, so Huo Qubing also clamored to celebrate his uncle's birthday, don't you remember the date?It doesn't matter, as long as it's the same day as Qu Bing, since then, the two will always celebrate their birthday together.

Huo Qubing always felt that this had something to do with the story about Mayi that his uncle told him not long ago.It rained heavily that day, and Jianzhanglu was by the river, and the road was completely flooded. In this weather, Wei Qing actually returned home with waist-deep water, his whole body soaked like a drowned rat.

Sister Ah Xian brought hot soup, and the landlady also came over. When she came in, she complained to Uncle, saying that no one would know that the water was so deep and so urgent, and she had to rush back. Was she worried that Qu Bing would not be at home? food?Will catch a cold?With them here, there is nothing to worry about, don't do this next time.

They chattered for a long time, but the uncle just hugged him and smiled and said nothing. After everyone had left, Wei Qing whispered in his ear that the next time the uncle came in from the back wall, there would be no one but Qubing. I know my uncle is home.

That night, after drinking warm ginger soup, there was the sound of pattering rain outside, and the room was dry and warm. It is said that my uncle slept the most soundly at this time, and would often snore lightly.Huo Qubing hugged his uncle's arm, closed his eyes and waited for him to snore as a lullaby. After waiting for a long time, there was no sound. When he opened his eyes, he saw Wei Qing's eyes, which were black and bright.

Since he couldn't sleep anyway, Wei Qing held him in his arms, snuggled at him, and told him a long war story.Finally, Wei Qing asked him very seriously, if Qu Bing is the general in the story, would he fight or not?He replied, hit!So Wei Qing laughed, as if it was the first real laugh that night, hugged him and kissed him many times, very happy, and said, Qu Bing is so young, how can he understand everything?

In fact, Huo Qubing was only eight years old that year, and he was still a child. He didn't quite understand the difference between hitting and not hitting in this question. What he really knew was that if his uncle encountered such a thing, he would definitely hit him. So Qu Bing should be the same as his uncle, and be with him, that's all.

As soon as he thought of this, Huo Qubing suddenly struggled to jump off the back that he felt so comfortable just now, and planned to lie down and be happy for the rest of his life.

The bright moon and the breeze are good times, Wei Qing is humming a ditty, carrying his precious nephew on his shoulders, feeling satisfied in all kinds of ways, Qubing, besides practicing martial arts and studying seriously, he is the cutest when he is tired, one is not to cause trouble for him, two Still don't get him into trouble.Well, the little guy on his back is soft and warm, the weight makes people feel at ease, and it seems to be strong again, very good, very good, Wei Qing is very happy and has a sense of accomplishment.

Happiness is always short-lived. Wei Qing spent so much time trying to tire him out and make him behave better. After a while, the little guy came back to life again, and jumped on the ground with a bang. This movement was so violent that Wei Qing was scared. With a jump, he quickly turned his attention to the little guy again.

Before he could ask, Huo Qubing suddenly said in a serious manner: "Uncle likes Qubing the most?" Wei Qing laughed, thinking about it for a long time, nodding his head while thinking, that's of course, there's no need to ask, I really hurt you for nothing!

Huo Qubing still didn't smile, he looked at him for a while with bright black pupils, but shook his head, and said seriously: "I don't want it."

What? ! ?Wei Qing didn't speak, but squinted his eyes, he was so mad at him, the good mood of the whole day suddenly disappeared, and he almost slapped him.Hold back, um, let's get the words out first, what is he going to do if he doesn't even want me? !

Before he could speak, Huo Qubing said again.

"I don't want to be my uncle's favorite nephew, I want to be the same person as my uncle!"

Huo Qubing's voice was a little anxious, but his tone was very certain. His air was not like a child his age. Wei Qing was stunned for a moment, his eyes became soft and happy. When the news of Ma Yi came, the pain that had been stuck in his chest for half a month That tone suddenly completely dissipated, as transparent and comfortable as if it had been ironed.

At this moment, Wei Qing really wanted to hug Qu Bing, but he didn't do it. He just looked at him with a smile as if he were an adult. He suddenly felt satisfied that Qu Bing had grown up.

At that moment, he was not a general, nor was he a general of hussars. He didn't even know his future mission. He only vaguely understood that if one day, the big man needs them to stand up and bear something for the world, he and he, all willing.

There are many unknowns on this road, but it is not daunting. No matter how far he goes, there is no need to worry. There must be that person when he turns his head.

It's great that you've been by my side since the beginning...

The author has something to say:

The so-called "Baitou Sima" is naturally the story of the general and Xiao Huo from childhood to old age, about 4 chapters, healing ^_^

The "Wei family law" sung by the general is actually a taboo for cats. The truth that night was: "I can't crawl, I can't crawl, I can't crawl, I can't crawl, I can't crawl, I can't crawl Move, it's bad, it's bad", please sing according to the melody of "Two Tigers" (^_-)
