Chapter 132 The Falling Swallow
Xie Yuan knew that he was so sad because of a rabbit, and in the eyes of others, he was hypocritical and cowardly, so he quickly let go of Ke Sande, raised his arm and wiped away his tears.

She wanted to hide in her tent for a while, but when she saw the empty rabbit cage at the door, she felt sad.

So he pursed his lips, turned around and rode on the horse, and went out again.

She has to find a place where no one is around for a while... just to be a stone lock, she has enough reasons to leave the barracks and stay outside.

She rode her horse out of the barracks and headed for her courtyard in the city. While galloping, she cried in her heart thinking about the rabbit:
"Damn Shen Liuzhen, you are too miserable, just being roasted like this..."

She felt very uncomfortable, but luckily there was no one on the road from the barracks to the city, so she cried indulgently, and wiped away her tears when she passed the city gate.

Thinking of Shen Liuzhen, he figured that if there was a reply, the time would be coming soon, so he went to ask the old acquaintance who got the letter for her.

Since he was stationed here, he has been helping her send and receive letters. His surname is Sun and his name is Sun You.

Although he doesn't have much martial arts, he is diligent and well-connected.He is often responsible for organizing the villagers, and he is also a well-known person in the city.

At that time, Xie Yuan was looking for someone to get the letter for her, and when he inquired, he was the first person recommended to her by others.

Xie Yuan stood at the gate of the yard, and when he knocked on the door, the people inside saw her, turned around and ran into the door, saying while running:

"Hey! What a coincidence, your letter arrived yesterday, and I'll take it for you."

Then quickly ran out again, reached out and handed the letter to Xie Yuan, and said with a smile:

"Fortunately, you are here. I happen to have something to do and I have to travel far away. Otherwise, I don't know when I can give you this letter... I will send you to the military camp next time."

Xie Yuan looked at the word "Xie Yuan" on the top of the letter, and said: "The military camp is not something that outsiders can approach at will. Be careful and arrest you as a spy."

"Oh oh... also." Sun You is a short man. Although he is not young, he is not much taller than Xie Yuan. At this time, he watched Xie Yuan open the envelope, and when he looked up, he saw her eyes were red. Red, a little surprised, asked:
"...Xiao Langjun, have you... met something difficult?" He compared his eyes with his hands.

When Xie Yuan heard it, he put the letter in his hands, and said overly arrogantly: "The wind and sand are blowing."

Sun You didn't believe it. He looked at it and thought: This is not the north, where is there such a big wind and sand?So kindly said:
"If there is anything, I can help, just say, ah."

Xie Yuan raised his phoenix eyes sharply, and asked in a low voice, "Do you think I'm someone who can cry?"

"It's not like...it's not like..." Sun You said quickly, although there was an opposite look in his eyes.

But Xie Yuan was satisfied, and put away the stubborn eyes, took out the money from his pocket and handed it to him, saying politely: "Thank you, you have worked hard."

"Hey... the business of giving money is what it should be, it's not hard." Sun You looked sincere.

Then he watched Xie Yuan get on his horse and leave.

Looking at Xie Yuan's straight back, he murmured in a low voice, "Hey...you're not very old, this temper is really stubborn."

……

Xie Yuan returned to his small yard, locked the door, and entered the house.

Although she knew that this was her own territory and there could be no other people, she still looked around vigilantly.

She doesn't want to wear such thick clothes every day, especially in places like the Southwest, where it's hot all year round, and the men in the barracks are all shirtless. No matter how hot it is, she has to dress neatly, and then she will always wear a wooden armor over her clothes. Often can cover prickly heat to come.

But there is no way, the wooden armor is hard armor, not close to the body, it can just block the abnormality in her chest.

Now the wooden armor has become her protective shell, wearing it, she will be at ease... If she takes it off, she will feel panicked and insecure.

So she dared to take it off only when she was sure there was no one else, and she had to keep it close at hand, making sure that she would grab it and put it on whenever there was an accident.

Just like at this time, she walked to the table and sat down in a stable manner, untied the rope under the armpit of the wooden armor, took it off and put it on the edge of the table, moved her shoulders easily, and then took it out from her arms. I received the letter which I had not had time to read.

The letter paper was unfolded, and it showed the swallow's nest under the eaves of Xie's house.The glazed tiles on the eaves are all painted meticulously.

The nest of young swallows in the swallow nest under the eaves all opened their mouths wide and exposed their small heads, very immature and cute.

But further down, there is also a painting on the ground of the corridor that fell from its nest.The little swallow, which didn't have full feathers, fell to death alive, with its body twisted and its mouth open, and died on the ground, in a very miserable shape.

Xie Yuan frowned sadly.

She didn't know whether it was because Shen Liuzhen's painting was so good, or because she was already sad because of the death of the rabbit, and was aroused by his painting.

In short, her controlled emotions surged up all of a sudden, and tears fell down.

"He..." Xie Yuan subconsciously wanted to swear again, but subconsciously stopped, "Are you clairvoyant or something? I just got well and you hooked me up again?!"

The more Xie Yuan looked at the painting, the sadder he became, but he couldn't help not looking at it.

She cried violently, and after she calmed down for a while, she came to her senses and said:
"That's not right... The rabbit was roasted today. It will take two or three months for his letter to come here... What does this mean?"

Xie Yuan wiped the tears from his face, and thought for a long time: "I saved that swallow at the beginning...Then what is the meaning of the one that fell down?...The painting is too miserable, right?"

Although Xie Yuan couldn't figure it out, he still felt the emotions in this painting - desolation, heartache, powerless unwillingness and remorse.

It's exactly the same as how I feel now.

She put down the drawing paper involuntarily, and muttered:

"It's really crazy, is this a tacit understanding?"

Later, she took a bath and trimmed it up a bit. When she was going to fetch the Lashi lock at night, she met a group of travelers from the north on the road. She suddenly remembered something, stopped a person at the end, and asked:

"Brother... Has anything major happened to the Beiyi people recently?"

The man took a look at Xie Yuan, and saw that although she looked like a teenager, she had an extraordinary bearing and was extremely energetic.

I couldn't help but feel the desire to make friends, so I thought about it and said seriously:
"It's a big event. The Crown Prince of the Wei Kingdom from Beiyi died suddenly. He also killed many Han officials... Anyway, it's not peaceful. Mr. Xiaolang, why do you ask this?"

Xie Yuan was stunned, and vaguely felt that the dead swallow painted by Shen Liuzhen should have something to do with the crown prince, so he asked again:

"Then... doesn't the Crown Prince have an eldest son? How is he?"

"Him?... I don't know, I've never heard of it." The man said.

"Oh, thank you very much." Xie Yuan replied with a heavy heart, then pulled the rein, pulled the stone lock on the car and left, leaving the traveler with a puzzled look on his face.
