Chapter 19 Inference

They finally brought them back.

When Zhang Jiyu just woke up that day, he saw a few more people in the yard for no reason, which was not a big deal, but I was afraid that those people were familiar, so it was very scary.

He recognized that the people in front of him were Ma Ruchu and Liu Shan who were arrested and taken into the barracks like him at that time? !

Zhang Jiyu couldn't help rubbing his eyes, but the moment he opened them again, he realized that he was not dreaming, it was indeed Ma Ruchu and Liu Shan!Even though he lost his expression and his eyes were dull, his appearance did not change!

He even had a little fear in his heart. The comrades who died in front of him at the beginning, stood in front of him alive a few months later, and the hairs stood on end.

He Tan who came out saw him stiff and asked curiously, "What's wrong with you?"

"Those two people—"

Zhang Jiyu pointed at the two, tremblingly said: "They are my comrades in arms."

He Tan took a look, then lowered his eyebrows and walked over without saying hello.

Zhang Jiyao was a little puzzled, and asked from behind, "Where are you going?"

"Let me tell you," He Tan said without turning his head, "These people will be sent away in ten days at most."

Zhang Jiyu followed behind him and said, "So you've been in our courtyard all this time?"

"Yes."

"When was this sent over? Obviously, I haven't seen it yesterday."

He Tan turned around and smiled cleverly: "It was delivered late at night. Because I was afraid it would scare the children."

"Oh."

He Tan explained: "I'll report the number to my mother-in-law."

Zhang Jiyu immediately stopped.

Then, every morning when he woke up, he would see several more people, and they were all familiar faces, which made Zhang Jiyao feel a little restless——

Just seeing those former comrades-in-arms, I feel that there is an emotion in my heart that is about to break out of the ground.

However, in the past few days, the two elders sometimes come to have a look. It is probably because Zhang Jiyao is a little worried here. As for whether he is worried about Zhang Jiyao or these people, that is unknown. After all, every time I met Zhang Jiyu, I had never seen the good looks of these two elders, so I guess they were still suspicious of him.

Just when He Tan said that he would send him away tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, Fuyue suddenly came to visit that night.

Perhaps there was a sign, Zhang Jiyu didn't feel sleepy at all today, he played a few games of chess with He Tan and drank a few bottles of wine, but he came out to enjoy the moonlight.

Fuyue pushes the door and enters, wearing the stars and wearing the moon.

When He Tan saw that it was the third elder, he first said hello, and then turned his head to look at Zhang Jiyao.Needless to say, there must be something wrong with me.

Fu Yue walked up to Zhang Jiyu and said, "I have something to tell you."

"it is good."

He Tan walked away very smartly, and there were only the two of them left in the empty courtyard.

It was eerily quiet, and even the sound of breathing could be clearly heard.Zhang Jiyao was too calm at the moment, said: "What's the matter?"

"Do you want to go back? Back to the Central Plains."

This sudden question really shocked him. He probably didn't expect that he would be able to go back.

For a long while, he didn't respond.

Seeing him stunned, Fuyue continued: "I can erase your memory, and you can go back with them tomorrow."

This time Zhang Jiyu came to his senses, he had seen him researching this kind of things as early as when he was in the Fuyue Room, he never thought that it would be done so soon.

There really is no room for outsiders here.

Zhang Jiyao laughed at himself, but the words in his mind were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't make a sound.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Fuyue said again: "You can go back to study and become an official, marry a wife and have children."

"Marry a wife and have children?"

Zhang Jiyu suddenly smiled, with unwillingness in his eyes, and said, "Forget about everyone, disregarding my brother's safety, and enjoy it?"

Fu Yue paused for a moment, then calmly said: "But you are still here regardless of elder brother's safety."

To be honest, it is a sword that can awaken people from numbness, and all imaginations will be wiped out, and all the truths exposed in the air are harsh truths, which people have to accept.

Zhang Jiyu was slightly angry: "Are you trying to force me to die?"

Fu Yue seemed to be surprised, the moment she met his eyes, she suddenly lowered her head and said, "I didn't, I wanted to rescue you."

"No, thank you."

Zhang Jiyao didn't know what happened. If he said it a few months ago, he would have accepted it with pleasure, but it seems to be a little different now, but he can't tell what's different, I'm afraid it's that The remaining memory is something he wants to keep.

But Fuyue didn't expect Zhang Jiyao to refuse, he thought it would be a happy thing to let him go back, but now that he said so, Fuyue didn't take any action.

After thinking about it for a long time, he slowly said: "Okay."

He turned around slowly, revealing the disappointment he couldn't hide every second, just like that in front of Zhang Jiyao.

For him, he probably spent a long time researching how to erase people's memories, but unfortunately, Zhang Jiyao didn't agree.

Zhang Jiyu couldn't bear it, but he couldn't make a sound at this moment, as if he was frozen.

When Fu Yue's figure disappeared, he turned around slowly and entered the house.

He Tan looked at him with a sleepy face, and said, "What's wrong with you?"

Zhang Jiyao probably told him Fuyue's thoughts, and when He Tan heard it, his eyes widened and he asked in surprise, "Why didn't you agree?"

Zhang Jiyao frowned rarely, and said: "If you lose your memory, what's the difference between going back and not going back?"

He Tan said: "But, what I'm afraid of is that you will..."

He Tan didn't go on talking, Zhang Jiyu also understood, but now his eyes were wandering, and he said: "Since you don't believe me, then what's the point of me going back?"

He Tan stopped talking now, he knew it was unreasonable.

"I know that outsiders must not believe it, otherwise, how could they be so guarded against me, just like guarding against an intruder."

It was the first time Zhang Jiyao said such words after living here for several months. He thought he was an easy-going person, but in fact, he always had such thoughts deep in his heart, and he couldn't help laughing like self-deprecating.

"Not an intruder."

He Tan wanted to clean up, but found that he had nothing to say, so he stayed where he was.

Zhang Jiyu suddenly remembered something, and said, "You guys are really strict here."

"yes--"

After He Tan said this, his expression suddenly froze on his face, as if time had stood still, and his eyes looked at the candlelight motionless.

Seeing his appearance, Zhang Jiyu was puzzled and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I might be able to help you."

He Tan seemed to be raving, and said, "I can help you."

"What? How can I help?"

Then He Tan looked at him and said, "I can keep your memory and let you go back."

Zhang Jiyu widened his eyes and said, "Can it still be like this?"

"it should be OK."

Zhang Jiyao was quite puzzled, and said: "In this case, you will be punished more."

He Tan suddenly laughed: "It's nothing, they are all sinners anyway."

Zhang Jiyu frowned and said, "No. I'd rather stay here with you."

"Don't you want to go back?"

"Think, not at the expense of others."

He Tan sighed and said, "You are really a good person."

On the second day, early in the morning, more than a dozen young men came here, each carrying their own bags, leading the others and preparing to set off.

After Zhang Jiyu and He Tan got up, they looked at the group of people, both of them had something on their minds, but no one said it out.

After a while, the mother-in-law came over, seeming to be exhorting something in front of the courtyard gate, and then some little girls also came over, probably to see him off.

Looking at the scene, Zhang Jiyao said happily, "Is it going to be a long time before you come back?"

"Well, it's probably the summer heat."

"Wow--"

"There are only dozens of people at this time, and more than ten people will go there every month in the future."

He Tan explained, seemingly absent-minded.

Zhang Jiyu looked over and suddenly found that the swords on those comrades who were with him were gone. He guessed that they were probably taken away.

What the hell is on that sword?Every time Zhang Jiyu thought of this, a voice called him in his head, but he was confused and didn't know what it was.

He remembered that in the barracks, there were nine people like himself who were all caught here for no reason, and they were all well-known local handsome men. This is very strange, sending good-looking scholars to the battlefield, What is the intention?

Zhang Jiyu was thinking about the sword, and a thought suddenly popped into his heart, which shocked him——

"Could it be—"

Seeing him yelling, He Tan thought something was wrong, and asked: "What is it?"

After going up for a few days and taking a few steps back, his eyes were lost. This sudden truth made him a little out of breath.

He Tan looked puzzled and said, "Are you crazy?"

Zhang Jiyu finally came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "No, no, I just remembered something."

"what's up?"

"Why am I here?"

He Tan was suspicious: "Aren't you a survivor?"

"Yes."

Zhang Jiyao didn't speak anymore. He wanted to confirm whether his guess was correct. When he got to the house, he asked, "Has anyone outside your village come in before?"

He Tan shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it before, you are indeed the first."

"That's it."

Zhang Jiyu suddenly calmly said: "I'm afraid, people in the Central Plains know that there is such a village, so they want to find you. The words on the sword should be to let you cooperate with the Central Plains. Let us Scholars especially wear that sword, probably because the ten of us are outstanding in appearance, so naturally people will feel good about it, and I brought it here because I thought maybe you would agree."

He suddenly understood why the two elders were so hostile to him. He might have become suspicious only after seeing the writing on the sword. In other words, most people would definitely be suspicious.

"Cooperation?"

Zhang Jiyao stared at him and said, "Don't you bring the dead back to life? This will greatly reduce the number of troops sent from the Central Plains."

"But——" He Tan noticed a detail, and said, "You rarely send troops from the Central Plains. It has been five years since the last war with the Huns, and we have been sending some old and dead soldiers over the years. The shepherds go back."

This time it was Zhang Jiyao's turn to be surprised, he slapped his head and said, "I actually forgot about it!"

"I heard that your current emperor seems to be very merciful. Wars rarely happen. My mother-in-law will sometimes talk about it with us."

Zhang Jiyao nodded, heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "Maybe I was thinking too much."

Fortunately, he thought too much.

Hetan pondered for a while, and said: "That's not impossible, after all, the war has already started."

He suddenly turned to ask: "But have you ever thought about why you people in the Central Plains would know our writing here and engrave it on the scabbard?"

Zhang Jiyao also began to be puzzled after being reminded by him.

"Our writing here is generally not spread, because people who often go out will learn Chinese."

Zhang Jiyao became completely confused, all his conjectures were overturned now, and this mystery might not be solved.

However, he discovered one thing——

"You are very smart!"

He Tan smiled and said, "It's just what you said."

"No wonder I lose to you every time I play chess."

"It's amazing that you can imagine such a big scene!"

"...Are you mocking me?"

"No, no, sin, sin!"
