Chapter 1280: Farewell (Part 2)
When Wang Biao walked into the main hall, Ye Zi was busy taking out a glass lamp from a box. This was given to him by Wang Biao. In the military camp, each barracks were equipped with glass lamps. Wang Biao paid for one to give to Ye Zi and gave a pot of oil. He didn't expect that Ye Zi had never used it before, and this glass lamp was brand new.
"Why are you useless?" Seeing the leaves pouring oil into them, lit the wick and covered the cover. The originally dim main hall suddenly became brighter.
"How precious is this. Usually, we two are just fine, just light this pine oil lamp." Ye Zi whispered.
"This is what you use when sewing clothes for us. If the light is not on, it will ruin your eyes." Wang Biao blamed him. "I don't think it's young now. I'm old now, but I'll suffer when I get older."
"Yeah!" Ye Zi nodded, "I remember it, I will use it in the future. Brother, sit down, I'll go and serve the meal. Mom, sit with me for a while."
In the blink of an eye, a few side dishes were served on the table, followed by a large pot of fragrant deer meat, and a pot of steamed rice with sweet potatoes and rice placed on the table.
"Brother, I don't know you're coming, there's not much left. If you know you're coming today, I'll pound some new rice. Look, it's piled up outside!" Ye Zi said embarrassedly.
"It's okay, it's good." Wang Biao smiled and shook his head, "Yezi, you can sit down too."
Three people and one dog, each occupying one side.
Heizi stared at the deer meat in the clay pot with his eyes stretched out, and his saliva fell to the ground with a whirlwind.
"Come on, this belongs to you!" Wang Biao reached out and pulled off a deer leg, stretched it to Heizi's mouth. Heizi bit it, lay down on the spot, tilted his head and chewed it hard.
"Heizi is a good dog." Ye Zi stroked Heizi's backbone and said, "Every day, I go to Houtou Mountain to find prey. I don't steal it if I catch it, and I take it back!"
Of course, Kuroko is a good dog.
It was made by Wang Biao from the army.
The troops stationed in western Hunan are now training mountain troops, specifically for suppressing bandits and preparing for mountain combat. After learning from some experience of local hunters, training hunting dogs became one of the tasks.
When the Heizi was brought by Wang Biao, he was only half a year old. He was eliminated because he was too lively and too independent, and was not suitable for military dogs. When Wang Biao met him, he took him back and gave it to Ye Zi.
Although the Yezi family lives not far from the military camp now, they are still single families and raising a dog is a must.
Although Kuroko is not suitable for becoming a military dog, she is extremely qualified as a domestic dog. The genetic inheritance of excellent breeds makes her loyal to her owners, and it is easy to catch prey. She is a good player to guard the house and protect the hospital.
Nowadays, Heizi, who is one and a half years old, has become an important member of this family and can serve the table every day.
Three people and one dog, bowed their heads to eat silently.
The habit that Wang Biao developed in the military camp did not speak when eating. Today, he was really hungry and swallowed it voraciously. Ye Zi and her mother spent half of their time watching Wang Biao eat, picking up food for him from time to time.
Ninety percent of a large pot of deer meat was found in the stomachs of Wang Biao and Heizi.
When Wang Biao put down the bowl, Ye Zi and her mother also put down their chopsticks at the same time.
Wang Biao took a deep breath, looked at Ye Zi and said, "Ye Zi, I'm leaving!"
"Um!"
"Um?"
Ye Zi nodded habitually, but immediately reacted and widened his eyes, "Brother, are you going to drive away? Where are you going?"
"It's not that they're leaving, they're still stationed here. There may be a long time before I'm leaving!" Wang Biao whispered.
"Brother, where are you going?" Ye Zi's voice was a little panicked.
"I'm retired and leaving the army." Wang Biao said: "I'm going back to my hometown. Go back to the north and return to Weizhou."
"Return to Weizhou?" Ye Zi looked at Wang Biao in a daze and murmured.
"Yes, today I have received a notice of leaving the retirement. Tomorrow, I will go to the county town to meet. Wherever there will be many retired soldiers like me. I heard that there will be a ceremony, and then the army will send us home." Wang Biao said: "Tomorrow, I will leave the military camp."
Ye Zi didn't speak, but just looked at Wang Biao. Under the bright glass lamp, the big eyes that were originally full of joy were now full of sadness and disappointment.
No wonder Brother Wang wants to finish the rice today, no wonder Brother Wang has dinner here today. It turns out that this is their last meal, is it the last meal?
As if feeling the master's sadness, Heizi raised his head and placed his head on Ye Zi's leg, but he turned it over and looked at Wang Biao.
After a while, Ye Zi whispered: "I understand."
"I'm leaving. You have heavy work at home in the future. Even if you go to the barracks to call those brothers, they are all my apprentices. As long as you are still stationed here, you will shout that they will keep it to help you, so don't get tired of yourself."
"good."
"Heizi is a good dog, treat him well. When he catches his prey, he must remember to reward his most beautiful one. It is so smart."
"I know."
Wang Biao lowered his head, and after a while, he raised his head, as if he had used all his strength, and slowly said: "You are not young anymore. You are looking for a good man to marry. Your family needs a man."
"know."
After saying this, Wang Biao seemed to have used all his strength and suddenly stood up, "I'm leaving, take care of you."
"I'll give you it!" Looking at Wang Biao who had already walked to the door of the main hall, Ye Zi seemed to have reacted and stood up suddenly and said.
"No need to send it!" Wang Biao did not turn around, but just reached behind and waved his hand, then strode out of the door and stumbled into the darkness.
Heizi rushed out.
After walking a few steps, the sound of Ye Zi's crying suddenly came from the room.
"Yezi, why don't you keep Brother Wang?" It was Yezi's voice. "This is a good man, but he lost it, but he will be gone."
"Brother Wang's home is in Weizhou, and he also has his parents. I know he has been away from home for many years, so how can I say it?" Ye Zi whimpered.
Ye Ziniang also fell silent.
Wang Biao paused, but continued to move forward.
Heizi, who was sent to the end of the yard, barked twice, and wherever he sat, he looked at Wang Biao with green eyes.
"Go back and guard this home!" Wang Biao touched the dark boy's head.
Heizi botted twice again, turned around and walked back, but took a few steps, then looked back at Wang Biao.
The night seemed to pass in a blink of an eye.
When it was dawn, Wang Biao carried his backpack and led a horse out of the military camp. Beside him was Zou Feng, who would send Wang Biao to the county town to attend the retirement ceremony there. Behind them, more than 100 soldiers lined up in an orderly line and followed him out.
Turning back and looking at the gate of the military camp, Wang Biao couldn't help but have red eyes again. He had been in the military camp for a whole decade. Now, he is leaving, and he will leave forever.
With a gritted teeth, he turned over and waved at the soldiers who were seeing him off: "Brothers, I'm leaving."
Leaving this sentence, he rode his horse around, waved his whip, and the war horse neighed and ran forward. Zou Feng sighed and followed closely.
"Brother Wang, take care of yourself all the way!" Behind him, the soldiers were shouting in an orderly manner.
Unable to see the military camp, Wang Biao snatched the horse and let the horse go slowly. Zou Feng rushed up and walked with him.
"You will be stationed here for a day and you will help me take care of Ye Zi's family."
Zou Feng remained silent.
"Help me find a good man with him."
Zou Feng still kept silent.
"Are you deaf?" Wang Biao said angrily: "If you want to recognize me as your master, you will respond happily."
Zou Feng was about to answer, but a singing voice suddenly floated in his ears.
He suddenly turned his head.
Wang Biao also turned his head.
On the hillside far to their right, a woman wearing floral clothes and a thick and black braid hanging on her chest was waving her hands to them from afar. Next to the woman, a big black dog sat upright with her head raised.
"My sister sends her tears to her brother, but she feels sad when she doesn't see her brother. She looks through her eyes and looks forward to her relatives. Flowers bloom and fall for a few years..."
The singing was choked and turned, Wang Biao listened in a daze, staring at the woman on the hillside.
"Master, what a good girl, I missed it, but I will never meet you again." Zou Feng whispered. "Stay here! Where is your hometown? Are you still brothers? Someone who is supported by you, you married Ye Zi, have a baby, and go back together. Wouldn't the old man be happier?"
Before he finished speaking, Wang Biao next to him suddenly slapped his horse's butt, turned his head, and ran towards the hillside.
"Master!" Zou Feng shouted.
"I won't leave, I will stay, I want to marry Ye Zi!" Wang Biao shouted.
Zou Feng was stunned at first, but then laughed out loud: "Brother, this is right!"
After thinking about it, he shouted, "But Master, if you don't leave, we still have to go to the county town. You have to attend the retirement ceremony. We are the first batch here. I heard that the general is coming."
"Wait, I'll take Ye Zi with me. I'll take her to the county town to buy red fabrics and make wedding dresses!" Wang Biao's roar came from his ears.
Zou Feng rode on the horse and looked at the black dog's arrows on the hillside. He saw the girl with big braids running downwards. He saw Wang Biao throw his saddle off and meet the girl.
"That's right, Master! I'll go back to the barracks to tell you about this. I'll go to Yezi's house to pick you up later. Let's go to the county town together." While laughing, Zou Feng rode his horse again and ran towards the way he came.
