Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 640 Brilliant as a Butterfly

After leaving the Jiaozhou Chamber of Commerce, the sunset in the sky had already set, and it was dusk again in a blink of an eye.

A day passes in such a hurry. When a person is doing something he is interested in, the speed of time passing feels very fast. When doing something annoying, the time is infinitely stretched.

Lan Tian had been busy all day, and felt like he hadn't done much. He and Gao Yuan got the horses and headed north in the afterglow. Lu Lingqi should be preparing dinner, and Xiao Qing'er was still waiting for him to go back and hug her.

"Sir, don't you want to accommodate the retreated soldiers? The Jiaozhou Chamber of Commerce can accommodate some. You might as well think about it." Gao Yuan put forward his own suggestion. Song Chen is a school lieutenant who was born in the army, so he should treat them favorably. The retreating soldiers.

Lan Tian nodded slightly: "I will arrange some people in the Jiaozhou Chamber of Commerce, but most of them have to go to government offices at all levels. I have already discussed this with Jiang Gongyan, but it depends on personal wishes. You can also send more money so that they can act like Yan Ji. Like shabu-shabu, choosing another way to live the rest of your life is actually not bad.”

"It seems that I have to learn some crafts from my husband. When you don't want me to be a bodyguard in the future, I will also open a restaurant to make a living." Gao Yuan said with a smile.

Lan Tian shook his head lightly, "Don't think about it, the eighteen people brought out by Boping, I have long regarded you as my wife's family, that is, my Lan Tian's family, and your children are the same, although there is no guarantee. You can get promoted and get rich, but you can live comfortably, as for your grandchildren, it depends on the good fortune of Boyang and Zhongling."

"Mr. You also said you don't know magic? Otherwise, I didn't shed tears when I was bleeding from the knife, why would I cry for no reason now." Gao Yuan's voice was weak, and he was accidentally moved.

"Uh..." Lan Tian turned his head when he heard the sound, and found Gao Yuan swept his sleeves in front of his eyes.

"I was joking just now." Gao Yuan blinked.

When the two returned to the State Shepherd's Mansion, the sky was getting dark, Lu Lingqi had already prepared dinner, and Lan Tian stayed in Gaoyuan to have dinner together, but the other party shook his head and declined, and quickly left the backyard.

Lan Yuan followed Gao Shun to Guiyang, and the back house seemed relatively deserted. Lan Tian looked at Lu Lingqi and asked, "Where's Qing'er? Don't you think she went to bed so early?"

"She was wiping tears in the room, and I asked Yue'er to coax her." Lu Lingqi shook her head lightly.

Lan Tian just sat down, when he heard Lu Lingqi's words, he immediately stood up and asked anxiously, "What's wrong with her? Was she wronged?"

"Qing'er is cute and lovely, who will let her be wronged? Yue'er helped her catch a butterfly in the afternoon, saying that she wanted to play with her husband, but it died within two hours. The little girl is just a little sentimental, so call her She won't even go out to eat." Lu Lingqi spread her hands, expressing that she had tried her best.

"I'm not hungry yet, I'll go into the house and have a look." Lan Tian turned around and walked to Lan Qing's room.

As soon as I entered the room, I heard Yue'er comforting, saying that I would catch her again tomorrow, spring is coming soon, and there will be more and more beautiful butterflies.

Lan Qing rested her head on the table with her back facing the door, she didn't know if she was asleep or something, she lay on the table and didn't respond.

Lan Tian tiptoed up to hiss, and the maid Yue'er slowly got up when she saw this, and whispered to Lan Qing: "Qing'er, I'm going out first."

"Oh" Lan Qing replied weakly.

Lan Tian and Yue'er exchanged figures, and sat directly in front of Lan Qing like a mountain. The little girl kept fiddling with the butterfly wings, and she was obviously taken aback when she saw Lan Tian.

She sat upright and said lazily, "Father is back."

"What's wrong with our Qing'er?" Lan Tian stroked his daughter's forehead.

"I wanted to play butterflies with my father, but unfortunately it died soon." Lan Qing shook her head first, and suddenly she was very excited when she saw Lan Tian, ​​and then grabbed Lan Tian's arm with her pink hand, "Father, help me quickly." Help Qing’er, can you save the butterfly? It’s so beautiful, why did it die?”

Lan Tian hugged Lan Qing in his arms, pointed at the butterfly and said: "Everything in the world has a definite life and death. Small insects like butterflies have a short life span of only a few days, and a longer life span of a few months."

"It's only been a few days, why is it so short? Qing'er is already three years old." Lan Qing asked, twisting her head.

Lan Tian smiled slightly, "This is a natural decree. There are insects called mayflies. Their life span is only one day. They are born in the morning and die at night."

With the comparison of the mayfly, Lan Qing gradually felt less sad, and asked again: "Is there a length of human life?"

Lan Tian smiled and replied: "Of course, some children die in their mother's womb, while others can live to be tens or even hundreds of years old."

Lanqing rolled her small eyes, and suddenly asked something 'rebellious': "Father, when are you going to die?"

At this time, Lu Lingqi came in and just overheard, Lan Tian saw her angry face, and hurriedly smiled and waved his hands to explain: "Tongyan Wuji"

"Mother?" Lan Qing blinked her big eyes.

"Why does Qing'er ask like that?" Lan Tian scratched the bridge of her soft nose.

Lan Qing pouted and said: "Since people's life spans can be long or short, Qing'er wants his father to live for a long time, and his mother also wants to be like his father."

Lu Lingqi was completely out of anger, she lifted the bench and sat beside her, shaking her head and sighing: "Birth, old age, sickness and death, how can you follow your will? Live long or short depends on God's will"

"Don't be pessimistic, Xiaojun. Although there is a certain number of life spans, as medical skills become more and more sophisticated, people's life spans will be extended. Maybe one day everyone will be a hundred years old." Lan Tian comforted.

"Is it really possible?" Lu Lingqi looked in disbelief, because the average life expectancy in this era is only over 30.

"As long as people can eat enough to eat, and medical skills are getting stronger and stronger, it is inevitable for people to live to be a hundred years old. Does Qing'er want to study medicine when he grows up?" Lan Tian pinched Lan Qing's little face after speaking.

Lan Qing nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Well, Qing'er will study medicine when he grows up, and he will see a doctor for his father and mother in the future."

"Let your daughter study medicine? Isn't it good to show your face?" Lu Lingqi frowned.

"There's nothing wrong with it. You can choose when Qing'er grows up, but the premise is that you have to eat well and sleep well. Only when you eat enough and sleep well can you grow up quickly." Lan Tian patted Lan Qing on the back.

Lan Qing was shocked when she heard that, she broke free from Lan Tian's arms and jumped to the ground, "I'm going to eat now."

Seeing the little girl staggering away, Lu Lingqi stood beside Lan Tian and boasted, "Husband, you really have a way of coaxing children."

"Is it okay? I have experience." Lan Tian said with a smile.

Lu Lingqi nodded slightly, then picked up the butterfly's corpse, feeling emotional: "Life is like a butterfly, some people die in vain, and some people can linger on. I really don't know what the fate is."

When Lan Tian heard that Lu Lingqi said that she died in vain, it should refer to the death due to war in this era, so she comforted her: "Butterflies are transformed from insects. They first turn from eggs to larvae. After the larvae grow up, they will form cocoons. Many butterflies Before it breaks out of its cocoon and becomes a butterfly, it is eaten by birds and beasts as insects, so it has no chance to show off its splendor."

"Husband, what do you want to say?" Lu Lingqi asked.

"Although my uncle passed away very early, he was as brilliant as a butterfly. In fact, he is much better than most people who have not broken out of their cocoons." Lan Tian shook his head.

Lu Lingqi argued: "But Bandit Cao is still alive, he slaughtered so many innocent people, shouldn't he die?"

Lan Tian first smiled awkwardly, and then said meaningfully: "Cao Cao's life should have come to an end. As for the innocent people he slaughtered in his life, because he doesn't care about it, even if we outsiders scold him, he won't feel it."
