The continuous spring rain always brings some sad emotions to people, especially when two men walk side by side on the road without umbrellas, bare heads and hands behind their backs, leaving the two men behind them side by side.

When viewed from behind, it feels even more indescribable.

"The last time we came here, we were both only sixteen years old!" Luo Gang, who had a long beard, tugged on his beard and sighed: "Twenty-two years seem to have passed in the blink of an eye. Now I close my eyes.

, the scenes of the past are still vivid in my mind, not only are they not blurry, but they are becoming clearer and clearer. Chongwen, do you think we are getting old? They all say that the older we get, the more clearly we remember things from our youth."

"Bullshit!" Xiao Cheng dismissed it: "When you are seventy or eighty years old, you won't even recognize your own son. Let's see if you can still remember the past!"

"There are some things that some people will never forget until they die!" Luo Gang exhaled a long breath and said.

Xiao Cheng paused slightly, took a deep breath, and feigned anger: "As the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, in this troubled autumn, not only did you not work hard in your office and be loyal to the country, but you went to Hebei to hurt the spring and autumn."

, do you really think I can’t deal with you?”

Luo Gang rolled his eyes: "I asked for leave from the government. I have stayed in the south for a long time. I got cold leg and can't walk anymore. I have to come back and find a good doctor for treatment. It will take two months."

It’s fake, it was approved by the officials.”

"Why didn't I know?"

"I handed the fold through Liu Fengkui!" Luo Gang laughed: "The fold is about to be in your hands, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave!"

"It makes me sound like a powerful official who deceives superiors and conceals information from subordinates!" Xiao Cheng said angrily: "Why don't I allow you to lie!"

"Because you know what I want to do!" Luo Gang said.

Xiao Cheng stood still, turned to look at this long-time friend and political best friend, and sighed: "Some things and some people, if you miss them, you miss them. What's the point of seeing each other again? It's better to forget each other in the world and leave the best to each other.

Wouldn’t it be better to have that memory?”

"If you don't see it, how can you know that you will definitely miss it?" Luo Gang said.

"You are no longer the young and frivolous you, and she is no longer the innocent and beautiful she is!" Xiao Cheng said: "I'm just afraid that you will be disappointed if you really meet her."

"She will always be the same in my heart as she was back then!" Luo Gang raised his head and let the drizzle hit his face, gathering into water droplets, and then slowly dripping down: "Chongwen, do you still remember our trip by the Peach Blossom Embankment?

Helping the dandy to drive away all the guests in the tavern, just so that she could have a nice meal of peach blossom wine, she got drunk that day, holding a wine bottle in one hand and a pen in the other, writing on the wooden door of the tavern

Did you read the sentence "Peach Blossom Still Smiling in the Spring Breeze?"

"Of course I remember!" Xiao Cheng said dullly: "The tavern is still there, and they are still brewing peach blossom wine. But if I drink it again, I'm afraid it won't be able to taste the same as before."

Both of them could see the bitterness in each other's eyes.

So, he stopped talking and continued moving forward silently.

There was originally a road under their feet, but no one had walked on it for a long time. When the spring breeze blew, the weeds stubbornly emerged from the ground and reoccupied the position that originally belonged to them.

But even if the traces of the past were covered up by weeds, the two people in front of them could clearly distinguish the path.

Tianmen Village appeared in front of them.

The Tianmen Village, which was once the front line of the anti-Liao Dynasty and was famous and frightening to the Liao people, has long been turned into ruins. The city walls have collapsed, and only some fragments of the green bricks cladding the wall outside are left. It should be more intact.

It had been taken away by someone, and the rammed earth inside had become loose due to the baptism of wind and rain. When everyone arrived, the vibration of the horse's hooves caused the parts that had not yet collapsed to fall to the earth, and then

One section of it turned into a puddle of mud in full view of everyone.

Han Zuo ran over quickly and couldn't help but take a step back when he saw Xiao Cheng and Luo Gang's expressions were a little bad.

Xiao Cheng has always been reserved in temper, but Luo Gang is not like that.

Even though Han Zong has become a general now, sometimes when they get along in private, Luo Gang will kick him when he gets angry.

Back then, in Tianmen Village, he often suffered from Luo Yuting's shadowless kicks.

"The tents have been set up." He glanced at Luo Gang and saw that the other party's attention was entirely on the dilapidated Tianmen Village, so he said: "The warning has also been set. The scouts who were released are also returning one after another.

It’s safe for fifty miles!”

Before Xiao Cheng could speak, Luo Gang had already flicked his sleeves and said, "I'm going to take a nap. You get ready. When she comes, just wake me up!"

Xiao Cheng was furious: "Why am I preparing it, and you don't even know how to help?"

"Back then, I always slept until I woke up naturally. If you didn't put food under my nose, I wouldn't be too lazy to get up!" After leaving these words, Luo Gang walked away.

Looking at his back, Xiao Cheng had nothing to say.

The tent was very large, filled with pots, pans, and various ingredients. Xiao Cheng stepped into the tent, rolled up his sleeves, and began to handle various ingredients.

Han Tong lowered his voice as he struck, and said: "Master Luo is not asleep, he is snoring when he is asleep!"

"I would only admire him if he really fell asleep." Xiao Cheng said: "Although he is now five and six, in fact, he has always been a child who has not grown up!"

"Fart!" Luo Gang's angry curse came from next door.

Han Zuo laughed softly and said: "Luo Du is very famous in Yunnan and Guizhou, and everyone in the court is afraid of him!"

"Well, that's true. If he meets someone like you, he will be reasonable. If he comes across someone like Cheng Shao, he will roll up his sleeves and clenched his fists. Naturally, everyone will be afraid of him!" Xiao Cheng said.

"That is to say, in front of you, even if you reason and clenched your fists, you are no match for me." Han Zuo chuckled strangely.

"I have suffered from the Xiao family all my life, and I have been eaten to death by them!" Luo Gang's voice came from next door again.

"If you want to sleep, go to bed. If you can't sleep, come here and help me get ingredients!" Xiao Cheng shouted: "If you continue to be wordy over there, I'll let the hammer tie you up and send you back!"

Before he finished speaking, the side curtain was lifted and Luo Gang had already walked in.

"If you want help, just ask. Why are you threatening? It's really boring! We're still brothers!"

Luo Gang knew very well that if Xiao Cheng really spoke out, Han Zhuizi would really be able to tie him up and send him back.

The sound of horse hooves can be heard from time to time outside, and a scout is returning from afar. Each return means that the person who is rushing here is getting closer.

Han Zou stopped helping and walked out.

For him, guarding is obviously a more important job.

The Liao people's outpost has arrived, and the two sides obviously need to conduct some negotiation work.

However, with the previous communication between the school affairs office and Zhiqiuyuan, what Han Zuo and the others are doing now is just a final verification.

And Luo Gang in the big tent seemed more and more preoccupied, making mistakes one after another with his hands. Finally, he simply threw the ingredients aside, sat down at the round table in the middle of the big tent, and unconsciously pulled out the ingredients with his hands.

Hold the turntable in the middle and let it rotate slowly.

Xiao Cheng didn't bother to pay attention to him, and just concentrated on cooking one dish after another.

Braised Pork with Pickles, Crystal Pork Pork, and Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs were all my little girl’s favorites back in the day.

After twenty years of separation, I don’t know if the taste is still the same as before.

A carriage came slowly from far away, Luo Gang looked at the carriage through the open tent door, and his whole body froze.

Xiao Cheng stuffed a piece of dry firewood into the door of the stove, put the lid on the pot, then stretched out his hand to wipe a handful of firewood on the apron around his waist, then strode out, walked to the door of the tent, and turned around.

He glanced at Luo Gang, who was still sitting at the table, and raised his chin: "Let's go and greet him!"

Luo Gang held the table with both hands and seemed to want to stand up, but half of the table tilted up and he was almost pushed over.

Obviously, this guy's legs are a little weak.

Xiao Cheng smiled, ignored him, and walked out.

The driver of the carriage jumped off his horse, took a bench from under the carriage, and placed it beside the carriage. Then he saluted Xiao Cheng, silently walked to the side, and stood with Han Yu, facing each other.

At a glance, this groom is not inferior at all.

Xiao Cheng knew this person.

His name is Sun Pu.

The leader of my little sister's bodyguard.

If we talk about it fundamentally, Sun Pu's family can be regarded as his retainers of the Xiao family.

The carriage door opened, and the woman wearing a curtain in the carriage was wrapped in a cloak, sitting cross-legged on the floor, quietly looking at Xiao Cheng who was approaching step by step.

"Third sister!" Xiao Cheng walked up to him and stretched out his hand, just like when he brought his little sister from Tokyo to Tianmen Village and helped her get out of the car.

Reaching out to hold Xiao Cheng's hand, the woman did not step on the bench that was used to help get off the bus, but jumped straight down.

As if he had expected it, Xiao Cheng stretched out his right hand at the right time and gently supported the other party's waist, and the woman stood firmly.

"Second brother! You are still the same as before, you can think of everything."

"Aren't you afraid that I will forget the past and make you fall down as soon as you get off the car?" Xiao Cheng said with a smile: "You are already in your thirties, and you are the empress dowager of a country, and you still look like a little girl.

As naughty as a baby!”

The woman smiled, put down her mask, and chuckled: "No matter who I become now, in front of my eldest brother and my second brother, I will still be that little girl who will never grow up!"

The true face under the curtain appeared in front of Xiao Cheng. Xiao Cheng was also stunned at this moment. There was an exclamation from behind. It was Luo Gang who had just walked over and saw the woman's makeup.

Strange times.

The clothes are still the same as before.

Time has changed, Xiao Cheng has grown old, his hair has turned white, Luo Gang has grown old, and his face has shown vicissitudes of life. Only the girl in front of her, the years seem to have stagnated on her body, and she is still the same as before.

"Third brother, long time no see!"

Xiao Ao looked at Luo Gang and said with a smile.
