After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 19 After the War (Revised)
Haitang didn't know when she fell asleep.

Suzhou City is not big.The Hai family lived near the Bell and Drum Tower in the center of the city. They could clearly hear the sounds of enemy troops charging and soldiers killing enemies coming from the city wall not far away. However, the city was very quiet, and there were only occasional conversations with people riding on the wall on guard. A few words.

She fell asleep in such a relatively quiet environment.

When she was awakened by the sound of the bell, she realized that she was touching her grandmother Ma's shoulder, which was numb.

Ma seemed to have not slept all night, and there were still red bloodshot eyes.She didn't mind that her granddaughter was pressing down on her. Instead, she moved her shoulders and smiled happily at Haitang: "Are you awake? It's daybreak and the battle is over. You can go back to the house and sleep. I'll have breakfast later and I'll call you."

Haitang was still a little confused: "The battle is over? Have we won?"

"Gua Wa Zi, of course you win!" Ma rolled her eyes at her granddaughter, "Otherwise, who would have the time to ring the bell!"

Little brother Hai Jiao is no longer sitting in front of the east chamber door.Second uncle Hai Chang'an also climbed down from the wall, and came to the backyard with his second aunt Hu one after another. He said to Ma: "Mom, dad, cousin, uncle Cao, and uncle Lu are sleeping directly in the living room." They were asleep and sleeping soundly, so I didn't wake them up. You should also go back to the house and have a rest, you stayed up all night last night."

Ma stood up and patted the dust on his body: "How can you let your father and the others sleep directly in the living room? There is no kang or bedding there. What if they catch a cold? Hurry up and tell them to go back to the house to rest! Chang'an's wife goes Call someone from the kitchen and quickly spread out dozens of cakes and boil a pot of hot soup. Everyone will eat and sleep. There is nothing to do today. I think few people will come out on the street. " I'm afraid I haven't slept well, so I will definitely have to make up for it today.

Mrs. Hu responded and was about to leave when Hai Changan held her hand, turned around and smiled at her mother: "Mom, the people in the kitchen have stayed up all night, so why bother them anymore? I'll go shopping on the street. It’s ready-made for breakfast. I don’t know if others will open a shop, but the old Zhang family’s noodle soup shop will definitely open. Every time the veterans on the city head go to his house to eat noodles after fighting. The soup noodles are hot and fragrant. , isn’t it better than the dry biscuits we sell at home?”

Ma paused and remembered that when her son Hai Dingcheng was still alive, he would always follow the veterans to the old Zhang family's soup noodle shop for breakfast after the war, regardless of the fact that the family had prepared meals for him. I couldn't help but feel sad, but I couldn't show it in front of my second son, so I nodded and said, "Okay, since you care about your wife and would rather run errands yourself, my mother will naturally help you."

Hu's face immediately turned red when she heard this.Hai Changan was shameless. He smiled and thanked his mother for the favor. He threw the bow and arrow into his wing and ran away with his wife.

Hai Jiao ran out from the east wing at this time, shouting "Second uncle, wait for me" and chased after him.

He also wanted to inquire about the situation of the war as soon as possible.

Haitang was driven back to the main house by her grandmother Ma.After a while, grandfather Hai Xiya also came in while yawning.The grandfather and grandson each guarded one end of the big kang, nodding and dozing off until they heard Hai Changan shouting from outside the door: "Breakfast is here!" Then they woke up and moved the kang table sleepily, letting Hai Changan set it down. The hot noodle soup I just bought was placed on the Kang table.

Hai Changan bought Lao Zhang's mutton noodle soup. It was hot and fragrant. After one bite, his whole body warmed up.The noodles are very chewy, the meat is soft and tender, and the soup base is rich and delicious.Haitang buried her head in eating noodles and didn't care about anything else.

Hai Changan did not forget to report to his father the information he heard on the street: "The Hu army has suffered numerous casualties. The general has retreated. General Gu personally led a group of soldiers to chase him. He said that the leader was the third Hu man. The prince was hit by two arrows and his horse was dead. He could only ride his subordinate's horse, which might not be able to run far. If he could catch it, the battle would be worth it! On Wednesday, the general was leading his men to count the casualties after the war. The situation, but our casualties are not many, is due to the good preparation. I heard that the generals prepared a complete set of things in advance, such as armor, swords and guns, firecrackers, bullets, arrows, boiling oil, rolling logs, etc. There is a surplus of everything from breaking stones. The barbarians did not expect that we were just waiting for work, so we were caught off guard and were stunned..." Hai Xiya listened while eating noodles, with a look of joy on his face: "Okay , it’s not in vain that we specially reminded the generals. Didn’t Baoshun follow you out? Haven’t you come back yet?”

"Baoshun said he was going to inquire about the news and see if the general had captured the third prince." Hai Changan said with a smile, "This kid is very concerned about the war. I gave him some money and asked him to buy it. Eat so you won’t go hungry.”

Haixi Ya has always been used to letting his eldest grandson go unchecked. What's more, this is in Suzhou City, surrounded by his own soldiers. He thinks there is no danger, so he can let him go.

Haitang finished the last sip of noodle soup in the bowl and thought to herself: My little brother was hurt so badly by the businessman surnamed Sun and the third Hu Ren prince in his previous life. How could he be reconciled if he didn't see his enemy arrested?Of course, you have to find out the good news as soon as possible.

When he sees his enemy being arrested and dying a good death, most of the knot in his heart will probably be gone, right?
Since your family was ruined in your previous life and your subsequent life was not satisfactory, you should work hard to change your destiny in this life.Now that Haijiao has contributed important information and helped the border troops win the battle, if he really joins the military when he grows up, he should have a higher starting point, right?He gained the favor of many generals in the frontier army, and he had hope of rising to prominence in the future.Young people, try your best to climb up!To become a famous general or high-ranking official, let your relatives at home live a good life——

After breakfast, Haitang went back to bed and fell asleep with her head covered.When she woke up in the afternoon, her brother Hai Jiao had already returned home and was huddled in the east compartment to rest.

After hearing Jin Guo's letter, Haitang ran to find him after washing up, and saw that he had not fallen asleep, but was sitting on the edge of the kang, holding his knees in a daze.

She climbed onto the kang: "What's wrong, brother? Aren't you sleepy?"

Hai Jiao shook his head and answered the question inappropriately: "The third prince of Hu Ren has been caught. The spy was also found in Guancheng and was just escorted back. I saw with my own eyes that they were imprisoned in a prison car and entered the city."

"This is a good thing!" Haitang blinked, "Don't you feel happy, brother?"

"Happy. How could I not be happy?" What Hai Jiao said was completely different from his expression. He looked like he was about to cry, his eyes sparkling with water. "The great revenge of two lifetimes... was avenged like this. ! What I thought would never be possible... turns out to be so easy..."

Haitang patted him on the shoulder and leaned towards him: "We are still children. Things that children find difficult can be easily done by adults. So when my brother said that he wanted to take the whole family to escape, it was not possible. Let's tell the elders about the matter and let them remind the generals. Wouldn't it be easy for the generals to do it? Whether the third prince lives or dies may not be decided by the generals, but the businessman named Sun will definitely not end well. ! Just wait to see him be sentenced to death!"

Hai Jiao wiped away her tears hard, took a deep breath, and showed a happy smile on her face: "My little sister is right! I'm just waiting to see my enemy beheaded. Just thinking of that scene makes me fall asleep. You can wake up laughing!"
