The Rebirth of a Star General

Chapter 4

     The next day, the rain stopped and it was a bright and beautiful day. The blue stone in the courtyard was warm from the sun and had a lush green color.

He Yan woke up as the chicken crowed for the third time. When Qing Mei woke up, she found He Yan was not in bed and was shocked. He looked around and found He Yan sitting on a stone block in the courtyard in a daze. She's relieved.

"Miss, why did you wake up so early? Is it because the blanket is too thin and cold? "Qing Mei asked.

"It's okay, I can't sleep." He Yan replied.

He has no habit of slacking off. In the military camp, he could not relax for a moment. Even at night, he had to be wary of enemy surprise attacks, so he was always on guard. Moreover, he wanted to practice martial arts when he was young, so he actually danced following the rooster's voice. Later, when she married into the Xu family, she still could not change her old habits and was ridiculed behind her back. However, after he became blind, he did not wake up this early. There was no difference between day and night for him. He was still awake when the cock crowed, but he would wait until everyone in the courtyard woke up before he followed.

He wanted to make himself feel less foreign.

"Where's dad?" She asked.

"Master has gone to the military. Young Master had also just woken up. Miss, change your clothes and let's eat." Qing Mei said and ran into the kitchen.

There was only one servant in the house, but there was a lot of work. There are always times when there is not enough manpower.

When He Yan arrived at the hall, He Yunsheng was already sitting at the table and started eating.

The young man was the same as yesterday. He was dressed like a peddler and was very careless. When he saw He Yan, he simply glanced and then threw away his face. He took the bowl and drank the porridge.

The food is simple porridge and side dishes. With the He family's financial situation, they couldn't afford to eat such a delicious dish. Even so, there was a plate of dessert on the table. They do not look very beautiful and smell very coarse. He Sui had specially prepared it for his daughter.

He Yan also took out a bowl and drank his porridge. He drank it very quickly. Qing Mei and He Yunsheng were slightly surprised. In the past, He Yan was picky and refused to eat properly. In the end, he reluctantly ate a bowl of porridge and only finished it after a long time. After finishing his porridge, he did not directly reach for the dessert on the plate. He Sui prepared it for him. Qing Mei would not eat it, much less He Yunsheng.

He Yunsheng placed the bowl on the table and stood up. He Yan looked up and asked, "Where are you going?"

He Yunsheng frowned, "What?" Just as he was about to speak impatiently, his gaze suddenly caught a glimpse of the mark on He Yan's palm. Nadanya stopped.

He had thought He Yan would complain to He Sui when he returned home yesterday. Who knows, everything was quiet this morning. It seemed like He Yan did not go to sow discord. He Sui still did not know that He Yan was injured.

The young man's tone softened slightly, "I'll climb the mountain to cut firewood."

In He Yunsheng's mind, He Yan, who heard this sentence, had to leave without interest and return to his room to fiddle with the blush and powder of his face. Then, she had to dress up and take a walk. Who knew that He Yan's eyes twinkled and said excitedly, "Really? I'll go too. "

Before He Yunsheng could speak, Qing Mei spoke first, "Miss, what are you going to do? Rain fell on the mountain and the road was not easy to pass. There's mud everywhere. What if you fall? "

"It's so thick." There were rarely normal people in the room. He Yunsheng immediately added, "Don't look for trouble."

Both of them thought that He Yan was just being impulsive. He Yan turned to Qing Mei and said, "Father is on the martial arts field during the day and only comes home at night. Qing Mei, you have so much work to do. You can't follow me all the time. He Yunsheng. " He called He Yunsheng by his name, which made He Yunsheng tremble. "If you don't take me, I'll go alone."

"Hi!" He Yunsheng said furiously.

"Is there a third person in this room who can control me?" He asked calmly.

He Yunsheng was silent. No one in this room could control He Yan's emotions, let alone a third person. Because of He Sui's pampering, He Yan did not listen to anyone. Oh, except for Young Master Fan.

He Yan shrugged his shoulders.

He Yunsheng left angrily. He did not understand why He Yan became so annoying after being sick. He Yan used to have a pretentious temperament, but now He Yan had a bit of a haste, which made it even harder to deal with.

He was truly He Yunsheng's enemy!

The mountain path of Long Huan Peak is steep and the terrain is dangerous. Most of the people who come here are poor people who cut firewood and collect plants.

Unknown wildflowers grow on the roadside, which is reflected in the grass. That's very beautiful. But after all, it was not a place to walk around and admire the flowers. Shi Tou under his feet clung to the cliff. Looking down, it made his legs tremble.

He Yunsheng had passed this path many times and knew that it was not easy to climb the mountain. He waited to hear He Yan's grievances and cries, but from beginning to end, He Yan did not make a sound.

He Yunsheng could not help but turn his head. He was surprised to find that He Yan was not far behind him. They almost walked shoulder to shoulder.

How is this possible?

Even a man would find it difficult to walk this path, not to mention He Yan was a gentle young lady. In the past, when he walked a long distance, he had to rub his knees. When does he have good stamina?

"Why are you looking at me?" He Yan looked at him strangely. "Are you not going to keep going?"

He Yunsheng did not say anything and turned around to continue walking.

He must have been pretending. He definitely could not last much longer!

He Yan looked at his feet and sighed.

The strength in his legs was really weak. After walking with He Yunsheng for so long, he really felt tired. It seems they still need time to get in.

"It's okay here." He Yunsheng stopped and took the axe from his waist.

There are a lot of trees here. He Yunsheng chose a small tree, which was more convenient to cut down. He pointed at Shi Tou next to He Yan. "You can sit here for a minute. I need to cut for two hours."

"here?" He Yan nodded and lowered the cloth bag he was carrying.

He Yunsheng stared blankly as he took out an axe from his cloth bag.

"You ... You ... What are you doing?" He Yunsheng's mind went blank and he could not speak clearly.

He thought He Yan's cloth bag contained a water bottle. Who knew that he had an axe in his bag? He carried an axe on his back and walked very far. Besides, he was not left behind by her. He Yunsheng suspected that he was dreaming.

What happened next made He Yunsheng even more certain that he was dreaming.

He saw his gentle sister. He Yan, who usually felt the teacup was too heavy for him, picked up the axe in front of him without hesitation. With one piece, he cut many branches. His movements were extremely nimble as if he had done it a thousand times.

He said, "Let me help you. It's gonna be quick."
