The desolation of the unpredictable city Duan Mansion made Shi Jiu's heart fluctuate and he was full of emotion, who could tell him where the former glory of Duan Mansion was?

The depressed scene of Duanfu made Shi Jiu can't help but think of Dur Battle Star Academy, and also remembered his childhood hometown, Jicheng, isn't his home tragically ruined, and the house is completely ruined?

Shi Jiu stood in front of the dilapidated gatehouse of the Duan Mansion, he hesitated for a while, and finally did not enter. He and Dongxue stood at the door of Duan's mansion and looked left and right, and saw an old man in ragged clothes sitting across the street, this old man was sitting dejectedly, and his cloudy eyes were just looking at the empty street aimlessly.

Shi Jiu walked over and said softly, "Uncle, do you know what happened in the Duan Mansion, where did all the people in the Duan Mansion go?"

The old man raised his head, he looked at Shi Jiu with a pair of cloudy eyes, and his voice was weak but very clear: "You are, you are Shi Jiu?"

Shi Jiu asked in surprise, "Uncle, do you know me?"

"Hey~!, what a noble person forgets things!" The old man sighed and said, "We met, I am Duan Wushuang's third uncle, do you remember me?"

Shi Jiu looked at the old man in front of him carefully, and suddenly realized, it was really Duan Wushuang's third uncle, how could this former burly and sturdy strong man suddenly become an old man in his last years?

"Sure enough, it's Third Uncle Duan, I recognize you. Shi Jiu couldn't suppress the doubts in his heart, and he asked, "Let me help you up, what happened to the Duan Mansion, why did it suddenly come to such a point?"

Third Uncle Duan shook his head and let out another sigh, he said, "Hey~!

Shi Jiu grabbed Third Uncle Duan's arm and helped him up, and asked, "Third Uncle Duan, where do you live now, I'll send you home first." ”

"Hehe~!home?" Third Uncle Duan smiled bitterly: "Where is there still a home! All I can go to now is a dilapidated earthen house." Tianji has not been heard from since Yunyou left, and Wushuang has disappeared when he went to study at the Battlestar Academy, my two sons, one is dead, and the other is crazy!"

"I'll find a way to buy you another mansion!" Shi Jiu said very sincerely.

Third Uncle Duan lowered his head and said with a wry smile: "

Don't break the bank, what's the use of my home?!"

Grief is nothing more than the death of the heart, Shi Jiu can understand the experience and state of mind of Third Uncle Duan, part of Uncle Duan's heart knot is on his son, and part of it is on the body of Duan Fu's defeat. Shi Jiu didn't say too many words of relief, because he understood that these reliefs would not help an old man with a dead heart.

Shi Jiu knew that the two sons he was talking about were Duan Tianhe and Duan Tianya, and Duan Tianhe had already died in the Spirit Beast Valley of the Battle Star Academy, and the only son left could only be Duan Tianya, but Shi Jiu remembered that he had seen Duan Tianya in the Fancheng Grand Palace, and there was no sign of madness at all.

Shi Jiu thought for a moment and then asked, "I know you're talking about Duan Tianya, but how can you say that Duan Tianya is crazy?"

Third Uncle Duan said: "Duan Tianya, a rebel, has been away from home for many years, and he didn't want to return to Mojicheng with many demons from Fanbang, not to mention that they ruined the entire Duan Mansion, and they also dug three feet into the ground, such a crazy approach seems to have a hatred for our Duan family." ”

"Oh, I see!" Shi Jiu nodded and finally knew the reason for the destruction of the Duan Mansion, and then he asked, "Did Duan Tianya say what he was looking for?"

Third Uncle Duan said: "I asked, but this rebel refused to say. ”

Shi Jiu didn't tell Third Uncle Duan about seeing Duan Tianya in Fancheng's Great Palace, he couldn't tell this old man that his son was not crazy, but had become a national teacher in Fanbang in the Western Regions. Shi Jiu knew very well in his heart that Duan Tianya's situation might as well be dead or crazy in Duan Sanshu's eyes!

Shi Jiu asked, "Do you sit here every day?"

"Yes, I have nowhere else to go. Third Uncle Duan said: "I will sit here every day from dawn to dark, I will wait until the day Duan Tianji comes back, I will personally tell him the reason for the destruction of Duan Mansion, and I don't want to get his forgiveness, but I want to personally apologize to him, it is my son who has ruined the foundation of Duan Mansion for thousands of years." ”

Shi Jiu said: "It's already dark, let's help you go back and rest." ”

The third uncle said: "I can go back by myself, but my earthen house is too small and dilapidated to accommodate the two noble identities." ”

Stone nine from storage

After groping for a while, he said, "We won't stop in the unpredictable city, these are a little silver taels, you can keep it and buy a decent house." ”

As Shi Jiu spoke, he took out all the money on his body and handed it to Third Uncle Duan.

Third Uncle Duan waved his hand desperately to excuse himself, Shi Jiu had already pulled Dongxue to say goodbye to the old man, they quickly got into the carriage and continued to leave Mojicheng all the way north.

After more than ten days of travel, they passed through several state capitals, the further north they went, the lower the temperature, the passing merchants lacked business and did not bother to go, so the towns became more and more poor, as the temperature became lower and lower, many locals have put on thick cotton clothes and brocade fur.

Mobei is the last gathering place of Zhongzhou people who have arrived in the extremely cold land, and with Shi Jiu and their way north, it seems that they are getting closer and closer to Mobei.

The barrenness of Mobei is famous, it has always been the first choice for those in power to exile dissidents, and later it has also become the only destination for many famous families to expel repeat offenders, and Meng's mother was banished by the Beimeng family to the extremely cold land of Mobei.

Shi Jiu recalled the road map, and he knew that the place ahead was the last town to enter Mobei.

This place is called Langcheng, located at the junction of Zhongzhou and Mobei, and the Tiangao Emperor has naturally become a paradise for robbers and thieves, and it has naturally become the largest gambling city in the Zhongzhou Empire.

Before entering Langcheng, Dongxue asked, "Can we stay for a while and wait for the two of them, Duan Wushuang and Brother Scar?"

Shi Jiu said: "You have also seen the scene of the unpredictable city Duanfu, these forces in the shadows are everywhere, although this is already the most remote place in Zhongzhou, but it is still under the control of the imperial royal family, we still have to be cautious, after this Langcheng, we will wait for Brother Scar and them until we enter the edge of Mobei." ”

Of course, Dongxue understood Shi Jiu's good intentions, she had to nod, she could understand Shi Jiu's thoughts.

Shi Jiu drove into Langcheng, the scene here was a surprise to Shi Jiu, in Shi Jiu's imagination, this border town must not be richer than the town he passed by before, but the actual situation made Shi Jiu surprised.
