Chapter 20 Zhen Yu and Zhen Shi

Cangzhou is close to Western Qin, and winter is particularly cold. Especially in such snowy weather, people's traces are easy to distinguish.

It has not snowed now, and the ground is covered with a thin layer of snow. For someone like Ye Wan who is good at tracking, it is very simple to tell the direction of Zhen Yu leaving. What's more, he may have a deep thought and walked around without any head or tail. Along the way, many witnesses honestly pointed out Ye Wan's direction.

Ye Wan chased the footprints on the ground, which were deep and shallow, until he left the area of ​​the military camp, and found Zhen Yu by a stream on the mountain behind the military camp.

This is a stream that soldiers of the western army often come to, spreading from the mountain to the rear of the military camp, with clean and refreshing water. The kitchen often comes here to fetch water and cook water and wash vegetables. Zhen Yu knew it was normal here, but Ye Wan came here for the first time.

Because it is cold and the surface of the stream is covered with a layer of fine ice chips. The chef comes to pick up water and needs to smash the ice surface to remove the cold and fine stream water from it to bring it back. The river under the ice flows slowly, and even this winter, he still unwilling to show his vitality to outsiders.

Zhen Yu didn't know how he smashed the ice on the stream, and he stood in the stream like a wooden stake.

The stream disappeared beyond his calves. On such a cold evening, he stood in the stream without any sense of consciousness, as if standing could make him become an immortal.

Ye Wan saw his lonely and helpless back from a distance, and his heart was a little sad. He couldn't help but joke: "You are washing your feet here now. Do you want the entire military camp to drink your foot wash water tomorrow?"

"Although the surface is frozen, the stream below is flowing. I won't let everyone drink my foot wash water." Zhen Yu replied dryly. At first, he heard Ye Wan's voice and he trembled. He obviously didn't want to speak at all now, and didn't want people to see him in such a miserable appearance, but he still couldn't help but want to answer Ye Wan's words.

Zhen Yu raised his head slightly, turned his back to Ye Wan and took back the tears. But the more he tried to take back the tears, the more he felt the pain in his heart. The tears couldn't stop jumping out of his eyes, leaving clear traces on his face. Then the north wind blew, and the pain was as if it was cut by a knife.

Ye Wan smiled bitterly twice, and felt sad when Zhen Yu was so uncomfortable that he had to cheer up and responded seriously to his jokes. Such a serious person, I wonder how uncomfortable it would be when he heard about the tragic death of his elder brother?

She wanted to walk forward two steps closer to Zhen Yu, but suddenly realized that maybe Zhen Yu didn't want to let her see what he looked like now. Obviously on such a quiet night, she could even hear Zhen Yu's crying voice with a nasal sound, and could only pretend to be ignorant and sit down.

The stones were cold and penetrated their thin clothes, making Ye Wan shiver.

"Do you have a bad relationship with your elder brother?" Ye Wan felt a little powerless. She never knew how to comfort someone. To be honest, she used to be afraid of all kinds of close relationships, whether it is family, love, or friendship. When facing the brothers of Team 7, she was also serious and too friendly because she didn't know how to deal with them.

After thinking for a long time, she asked a question hard.

Zhen Yu was startled by her sudden questioning, and then smiled bitterly: "It's not that bad. But my father didn't treat me as close as my elder brother. He always said in front of me how good and well-behaved, so that I could learn more about my elder brother... You know, boys were born rebellious when they were young. The more I heard my father say good to me, the more I hated my elder brother, and it was different from hearing my father praise Brother Chu in front of me." No matter how good Chu Hui was or how good Chu Hui was, he was still someone else's child. No matter how much my father praised Chu Hui, Chu Hui would not turn around and have his surname Zhen.

But he is different from his elder brother. The elder brother is also his father's biological son, or his eldest son. His father said in front of him how good the elder brother is... By the way, he looked at him with regret, so he naturally had to have a big opinion.

Ye Wan closed her mouth and listened to Zhen Yu telling her childhood word by word with a nasal tone.

"I don't hate my elder brother either. My elder brother is ten years older than me. When I was sensible, he was already able to be his father's right-hand man. My elder brother is not the kind of boring person who is idle and has nothing to do, so naturally he can't care about me everywhere. He is not bad to me. Sometimes when my father scolds me, he will help me and get scolded together... But I just hate my father for exaggerating my brother's goodness in front of me, as if he only has one son, and I picked it up by him." Zhen Yu said with a wry smile.

It was ridiculous to think that he had caused trouble in the past and even made a fool of himself, and wanted his father to punish his elder brother. Zhen Yu laughed out loud as she thought about it. Only the elder brother would receive the punishment for him seriously, be beaten by his father, and then scolded him for not doing such boring things again in the future.

The eldest brother's temperament is exactly the same as his father, and he is so serious and serious. He is just a teenager and is like an old man, and he never bothers to care about him.

"Then it's really lucky that you weren't beaten to death by your elder brother when you were a child." Ye Wan continued, "You are ten years old, General Zhen. You must be thinking that you are your elder brother and are so much older than you, so you don't want to care about it."

Zhen Yu nodded: "Yes, my elder brother never bothered with me. The only one who said bad things about Duan Hongyang every day. He asked Duan Hongyang to follow me to be naughty in front of my elder brother, and tried his best to frame him and let him be beaten by his father." Thinking about it now, although my elder brother looked bad and stinking and hard like a stone, he really did his duty as a brother, and even tried his best to be nice to him, educate him, and pull him into an excellent man.

"I have always thought since I was a child that I would grow up quickly, as old as my elder brother. In this way, I can show off in front of my father and let my father look at me a few more times, instead of just staring at my elder brother." Zhen Yu said again, "But no matter how I grow, my elder brother is older than me, and I will never grow up to the same age as him."

Wanting to grow up to the same age as Zhen Shi... It is indeed in line with the idea of ​​the stubborn and arrogant little Zhen Yu. Ye Wan said silently.

"I was only when I was teenager and realized how naive my thoughts were. My father and elder brother's ambitions were never at home, but instead turned their eyes to the lofty military camp. It was probably since I was six or seven years old. My father often took my elder brother out early and came back late, so he rarely stayed in the general's mansion and came back once a few months. At that time, I didn't even know what they were doing when they went out, so I would only play marbles and cuju in the backyard of my home with Duan Hongyang, and do nothing."

"Time flies so fast..." Zhen Yu lowered his head and looked at his increasingly stiff calves. The stream slowly slowed down, and the surface layer became colder and seemed to be frozen. He didn't know at all, and was still talking about what he wanted to say in his heart: "In a blink of an eye, my elder brother got married and had children, and I was also an uncle... There was a fat and cute nephew. In a blink of an eye, I was thrown to the Xianzhou military camp by my father. He told me to get away from home. If I don't succeed, I don't want to see my nephew. My nephew is already three or four years old now... But he will never wait for my elder brother to go back."

"Zhen Yu..." Ye Wan suddenly said, "I think General Zhen is not biased towards your elder brother. On the contrary, your father and your elder brother are biased towards you and use their own methods and efforts to protect you. They do not need you to be more capable and promising, because no matter what, your father and your elder brother are in front of you to protect you. As a young son, what you need to do is to have enough self-protection ability and live a happy and healthy life."

General Zhen threw Zhen Yu into the Xianzhou military camp, and there were many of them who wanted to let Zhen Yu follow Chu Hui to hone. But the same is because General Zhen knew that no matter how the Shaozhou military camp was, he and Zhen Shi were supporting him, and would not put the burden of hardship on Zhen Yu's head.

If Zhen Yu had been following General Zhen since he was a knives and gun, and he became General Zhen's right-hand man, then now in Yunzhou, it would not be Zhen Shi who died in battle, but Zhen Yu.

"Your elder brother must be thinking in his heart that if he doesn't work hard, all the hardships will overwhelm you. Then you will be the one who will provoke the entire Shaozhou military camp no matter what, and will not be as free as you are now, and you can do whatever you want." Ye Wan said seriously. "Even before Brother Zhen Shi's death... he must be thinking in his heart, 'Lucky, I am not Zhen Yu, who is here today, do you believe it?"

This sentence made Zhen Yu tremble all over and burst into tears like a collapse. He bit his lips tightly and did not make him cry. Now he finally couldn't make him nervous.

There was no sound of the stream flowing by the quiet stream, only Zhen Yu's hoarse and straightforward crying.

What is "Luckily, I am not Zhen Yu here today", what is "the burden of the entire Shaozhou military camp cannot be on Zhen Yu", he realized that he had never been dissatisfied with the jealous young man two years ago to a warrior who wanted to turn himself into a strong man with a strong heart and strong man that he had never been dissatisfied with his father and eldest brother, but a kind of helpless and powerless resentment.

He was not a flower born in a greenhouse, and he didn't need the protection of his father and elder brother. What's more, when his father threw him into the Xianzhou military camp, he was even happy, thinking that he was enough to let his father see it and let his father value him.

He always wanted to say sorry to his elder brother and thank you. Thank you for protecting me over the years. Thank you for not blaming me for giving up on me because I often instigated my father and Duan Hongyang to bully you together. Thank you for holding the burden of the entire Zhen family on your shoulders just to give me a free and comfortable environment.

Zhen Yu stood there numbly, crying with a dry throat. He looked up to Yunzhou to the east, and shouted intermittently and hoarsely, saying words in his heart that he had always wanted to say.

But no matter how much he wanted to say something that the brothers should say to him, it was too late now.

"Thank you, brother... I'm sorry, sorry..."

Zhen Yu bent over crying. Ye Wan took a few steps to lift him out of the stream, and couldn't bear to look at his frozen stiff feet. "How can you avenge your elder brother if you make yourself look like this?"

"Avenge?" Zhen Yu looked up in a dull voice, "Who are you?" He knew that Zhen Shi was not dead under Xie Qingwen's men, and the Xie family army did not intend to be an enemy of Zhenxi Army. This was the most painful thing for him.

Especially after fighting side by side with Xie Qingwen, they even returned to Yanjing to face the human-cannibal caves. They had long formed a deep friendship with the Xie family army, but who knew that they were already enemies when they met again.

Ye Wan smiled: "With Feng Ping and the court. Brother Zhen Shi died under Feng Ping's hands. There is no doubt about this. If you want to avenge Brother Zhen Shi, go and prepare to kill Feng Ping himself."

The sarcastic old eunuch had been jumping up and down for so long, and it was time to pay the price for what he did.
