don't call me singer

Chapter 818 When will I return to my hometown

On this day, officials from Suzhou Prefecture and Songjiang Prefecture held a grand banquet in Taicang to reward all officers and soldiers who went to the West.

The long seats really spread for ten miles, and there were staggered cups of wine and meat everywhere, and the wine and meat were fragrant.

During the banquet, the officers and soldiers who had been wandering overseas for two years opened their arms and ate and drank.

After two years of tense nerves, I dare not slack off, and now I can finally relax and get drunk.

But those officers and soldiers whose families were in the Su and Song prefectures didn't even care to eat or drink.

Zheng He saw it clearly, and at this moment, he didn't care about any vain gifts. After a feast, Zheng He ordered that the fleet be disbanded on the spot. Except for some people who responded to Tianfu with him, the others went back to their respective homes. Find each mother!
In an instant, the cheers at the scene could be heard dozens of miles away.

Outside the banquet, Zhuzi's younger brother scratched his head and almost became a monkey.

If it weren't for the soldiers from the two governments guarding the banquet site, he might have broken in.

Finally, seeing that the banquet was over, he hurriedly looked around.

Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure and hurriedly shouted: "Brother! Brother! Here!"

Zhu Zhu's eyes lit up when he heard his voice, and he ran over.

Zhuzi's younger brother opened his arms, wanting to hug his elder brother, but saw his elder brother dodging, avoiding him, and rushing to Tweety's face.

He opened his hands, wanting to hug Tweety, but felt that something was wrong, so he quickly stopped.

Tweety's face turned red, she lowered her head, then raised her head again, looking at him secretly.

I just feel that the man in front of me is so heroic and handsome.

After two years of ocean life, the pillars have become thinner and darker, but they have become more mature.

Suddenly, Zhu Zi turned around and looked behind him, and said, "Master Zhong Jun, this is Tweety...my...unmarried wife."

Tweety lowered her head shyly, her face turned redder.

"I ask Mr. Zhong Jun to bless us, let our husband and wife sing in harmony with each other, raise our eyebrows together, anyway, we will have a good life for a lifetime..."

Only then did Gu Xiaobai know why Zhuzi dragged him over.

These two people are Gu Xiaobai's personal leader on the ship, not only responsible for his safety, but also responsible for taking care of his daily life, and they can be regarded as the people who have the most contact with him besides Zheng He.

He looked up at Zhuzhu, Zhuzi's black and red face was even more thoroughly red now, shining red.

Then look at Tweety next to her, Xiafei's cheeks, and a rose blooming in her hair.

At that moment, Gu Xiaobai sighed softly in his heart.

One is waiting at home for two years, missing you all day long, and finally looking forward to your return.

One is to go out and see the world, travel all over the world, but still only have you in my heart.

You two just show your affection.

Why let me witness!
Don't know I'm still a single dog?
Singles suck.

Hearing that Zhuzi did this, Zhuzi's parents were terrified.

My God, this is Zhong Jun, that is a god!

Can't make it!

In fact, Gu Xiaobai didn't want to witness marriage for others at all.

Burn him burn him!

Burn everything now!
But when he saw the rose in Tweety's hair, his heart suddenly softened.

He nodded slightly and said: "I, Zhong Jungu Xiaobai, will witness the marriage between you two today. I hope that your husband and wife will sing in harmony and raise their eyebrows together..."

As he spoke, he raised his head, and a huge golden clock appeared in the sky.

"Duang—" a sound came out.

Everyone nearby looked over.

The envoys and officials from afar also stared over.

"Duang—" There was another sound.

"Duang—" the third sound.

Gu Xiaobai looked at the two people in front of him again and said: "Three bells ring, three lives together, after today, you will be husband and wife."

Zhu Zi hugged Tweet excitedly, and countless eyes from all around looked over.

Many people's eyes are full of smiles.

There were many others, their eyes were full of anger.

Burn, burn them!

Burn the newlyweds to death!

It's nothing more than showing affection here, but there is even Zhong Jun witnessing the marriage!
unacceptable!

Gu Xiaobai, who is also single, closed his eyes, raised his head, and held back his tears.

Don't say anything, Gu Xiaobai just wants to sing "Single Dog Song" now.

Then he waved his hand.

Well, you can go!

Zhuzi also felt that the situation was not good, so he picked up Tweety and ran away like a wild dog running off the leash.

Back on the boat, Zheng He smiled and said, "I heard you married Zhuzi?"

"Please don't say it!" Gu Xiaobai burst into tears.

Zheng He shook his head and laughed, and said: "Today we will rest for a whole day, and tomorrow we will go upstream, and we will arrive at Yingtian Mansion in two days, and you will be able to meet your sister Zhong Jun."

This made Gu Xiaobai happy.

As night fell, Gu Xiaobai stood on the boat and looked down, but saw that at this moment, the night had already darkened, but there were still people outside.

There, there are old and weak women and children. When they see people, they grab and ask.

"Have you seen my son, my son's name is Chen Xiudun... have you seen it? Have you seen it..."

"Have you seen my younger brother? My younger brother is so tall and has a scar on his face. He..."

"Please, let me go in and look for it... Please!"

"Who is that?" Gu Xiaobai asked a soldier beside him.

"Reporting to Mr. Zhong Jun, those are the parents and family members of the same robe who died in battle..."

Gu Xiaobai frowned and said, "Didn't someone tell them?"

"No, Deputy Envoy Wang personally urged the local officials to handle this matter, and the local officials also sent someone to personally notify them and hand over the pension to them. It's just...they don't believe it. Many people are not even willing to accept the pension..."

Yes, they don't want the money, they just want their son's family back.

This trip can be said to be very successful. There were only a few hundred people who died in battle or illness, but that also caused hundreds of families to be broken.

Gu Xiaobai stood there in a daze.

I don't know what to say.

He looked at the person under the dim torches and lanterns, still staring at the countless ships in front of him, looking forward to the sudden appearance of his son, brother, and husband, who hugged him with a smile on his face.

But they may never be able to wait.

Under the darkness of night, a mournful melody sounded.

The bell rang softly.

Gu Xiaobai sat on the side of the boat, staring into the distance.

A deep singing sounded.

"The briar outside the window

already covered the wall
People who travel far

when to return home

When will I return to my hometown..."

Gradually, more and more people joined in.

The voice is low and solemn.

They took off their hats, stood on the boat and on the shore, staring at the vast Yangtze River and the sea in the distance, as well as the lights of thousands of houses in the city, and echoed the melody in a low voice:

"When will I return to my hometown..."

"When will I return to my hometown..."

Hunxi, come back!

The singing echoed on the ship and on the shore.

This is an elegy for the dead and a memorial for the living.

Some people clearly made history.

But in history, there is no name for them.

Gu Xiaobai raised his head, and the stars were twinkling in the sky.
