In the evening, the sunset hangs over the place where the blue sky meets the yellow sand, and I don't know whether the sunset renders the yellow sand, or the yellow sand renders the sunset.

At sunset, there was a village where wisps of cooking smoke began to rise.

When Mo Yan and the others walked into the village, there were no pedestrians on the streets, every household closed their doors, only the cries of children could be heard from time to time, and many collapsed walls were not repaired, and in the twilight of this desert, it seemed completely desolate.

Li Biyun looked around and said, "Let's settle here tonight, remember not to disturb the people here, otherwise the courtyard rules will deal with it." ”

After saying that, I found a house that no one had lived in for a long time, and after settling down a few students, I took the remaining students to continue to look for the next place, and it was obviously impossible to find a place for hundreds of people to live, and the rest could only set up a simple tent, which would be one night.

The weather in the Northern Desert is like this, it is frighteningly hot during the day, and at night, it is unbearably cold.

Because he was a freshman, the academy gave priority to taking care of him, so Mo Yan was arranged in a dilapidated house, and an elder was also arranged to follow, just in case.

Half-asleep and half-awake, Mo Yan heard the sound of rustling in the room, at first he thought it was a mouse, but then he determined that it was the sound of footsteps, and deliberately pressed the footsteps very lightly, Mo Yan opened his eyes and saw a figure carefully rummaging for something.

He could be sure that this person was not a student of the academy, let alone an elder of the academy, and judging by his figure, he would be eleven or twelve years old at most.

Mo Yan didn't make a sound to disturb, just pretended not to know anything, closed his eyes, and continued to sleep.

Not long after, the child left the house with light steps, and Mo Yan slowly fell asleep......

The next day, before dawn, Mo Yan was woken up by the sound of abuse, and then found many students rummaging through their luggage.

Mo Yan yawned and said, "Don't look for it, it's been stolen." ”

A student frowned and said, "How does Senior Brother Mo know?"

Mo Yan pointed to the ground.

The ground was covered with dust, so there were all kinds of footprints, but one of the footprints was relatively small, and at first glance it was not left by someone from the academy.

When everyone saw the footprints, they all frowned, and one student scolded coldly: "Who ate the bear's heart leopard gall and dared to steal our things." ”

The Nanxi Sword Pavilion elder who was left by Li Biyun looked at the footprints on the ground and said with a smile: "Look at these footprints, it should be a child, it is not easy to steal things without us noticing." ”

Hearing this, Mo Yan was stunned, looked at the old man who spoke, and the old man happened to also look at Mo Yan and smiled, the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.

The old man continued, "Alright, since you are all awake, let's pack up and get ready to continue on the road." As for the stolen things, they are not valuable items anyway, so don't bother with them. ”

Everyone packed up their things sullenly, although it was true that what was stolen was not a valuable thing, but it must be meaningful to be able to take it with them, and no one would be happy if something was stolen.

The old man walked up to Mo Yan and said in a low voice: "After years of war, it is not easy to live. ”

Mo Yan nodded, he knew that he could detect the child's movements, and there was no reason why this powerful old swordsman could not detect it, and the reason why he didn't stop it was because he thought the same idea as himself.

The old man continued, "We lost something inconsequential today, but for the child's family, maybe we will be able to live a little longer. Alright, you pack up and get ready to go. ”

Everyone packed up their things and began to assemble at the place specified by Li Biyun.

Just as everyone had gathered and was about to leave, an old woman pulled a child, ran in a hurry, and then kept nodding and apologizing to the group, and took out many strange objects, while saying: "It's all children who are ignorant and steal the things of the adults, and please be magnanimous, don't be like children." ”

A student stared at the little boy who was forcibly pulled over by the old woman, and said coldly, "It turned out that you stole it." ”

The child was so frightened that he hid behind the old woman, his little face turned pale and his legs trembled.

Mo Yan frowned, but did not speak.

Li Biyun stopped the student, saluted the old man, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about the old man, we won't blame you." ”

He looked at the child hiding behind the old man again, and said with a smile, "Little brother, what's your name?"

The kid poked out his head, glanced at Li Biyun, and then turned his gaze to his grandmother, and only after getting the old man's instructions did he stand up cautiously and said, "Zhang Tao." ”

Li Biyun nodded with a smile and said, "Although I won't blame you today, it's not that what you did was right, so I hope you won't do it again in the future." ”

The child did not shake his head or nod his head.

Li Biyun looked at the elder who stayed with Mo Yan and the others, and the elder smiled and said, "It's a good seedling." ”

Li Biyun squatted down and said with a smile: "Do you want to go to a place where you don't have to steal and you can eat well? ”

The little boy was stunned for a moment and muttered, "Is there such a good place?"

Li Biyun looked at the old woman and said: "We came out of the Boundless Academy to practice, I think this kid has a rare sword heart, if he cultivates, he will definitely have a good future, I wonder if the old man can take us to meet his parents?"

The old woman listened to the previous words, her face was full of disbelief, but after listening to the latter words, her expression became a little gloomy, and before she could speak, Zhang Tao said: "I don't have a father, my father went to war a few years ago and died, and my mother was also captured by the army of the Song State." ”

Everyone frowned, the old woman pulled Zhang Tao into her arms, hugged his head, nodded and said: "Not only this child, but the whole village is like this, young men, all went to war, none of them came back, young women, escaped, robbed and robbed, now there are only some old people and children who can't walk." ”

A student took the object he had just sent back and looked at it in his hand, then walked up and handed it to Zhang Tao, and said with a smile: "Since you like this thing, I will give it to you." ”

Zhang Tao looked at the things in his hand, but he didn't dare to take them.

The old man said to Li Biyun: "Can Mr. really accept this child?"

Without waiting for Li Biyun to speak, Zhang Tao said: "I'm not going anywhere, I'm going to stay and take care of my grandmother." ”

This sentence made everyone stunned, Li Biyun smiled and said: "Since this is the case, then when you want to come, come again." ”

After saying this, Li Biyun led everyone to continue to hurry, and all the stolen things were also left, and even some of the items that did not belong to the stolen at all.

The old man pulled the child, stood in the yellow sand, watched the group leave in a mighty manner, and then patted Zhang Tao's head, "What a stupid child." ”

Zhang Tao smiled and said: "I'm not stupid, if I'm stupid, that gentleman will say that he wants to accept me as an apprentice." ”

The old man laughed happily.

Zhang Tao looked at the direction where everyone was leaving and asked, "Grandma, do you think I can really be the kind of person that Mr. said?"

The old man nodded and said, "My grandson is not stupid, naturally he can." ”

Zhang Tao nodded, and said, "I think so." ”

Not far away, a young girl in Tsing Yi stood on a wall that could collapse at any time, looking at this side.

A man appeared silently under the wall, hugged his fist at the girl in Tsing Yi on the wall and said, "Miss, why don't we do it when we had such a good opportunity last night?"

The girl in Tsing Yi didn't answer immediately, and said after half a sound: "I will only make a move if I guarantee that nothing goes wrong." ”

The man nodded.

The girl in Tsing Yi retracted her eyes, squinted and said, "I need you to do something." ”

The man said, "Miss just command." ”

The girl in Tsing Yi pointed to the old man and the child standing in the yellow sand over there, "Kill the old man and leave the child behind." ”

The man was stunned for a moment, but still nodded and said, "Yes." ”

The girl in Tsing Yi continued: "Do it cleanly, it's best to point this matter to the academy and send the order to the side of Tianmu Mountain, no matter what method they use, they must let the academy get involved in the battlefield, even if it's just one." ”

The man answered again.

The girl in Tsing Yi waved her hand, and the man disappeared silently.

The girl in Tsing Yi stood on top of the dangerous wall, looked down at the wall under her feet, and said with a smile: "The teacher said that a gentleman does not build a dangerous wall, but I am not a gentleman, and I am not a gentleman, so it won't take ten years to take revenge." ”

The next moment, the wall beneath her feet collapsed instantly, and she was gone......

A team of centaurs suddenly appeared around the village, and then killed the entire village in a way that ordinary people couldn't resist at all, leaving only a child named Zhang Tao.

Just when the child was full of despair and heartbroken, a woman in Tsing Yi appeared, like a fairy, and took the child away......

The girl in Tsing Yi is named Liang Lu, the second lady of the Liang family in Tianshui City.

Everyone knows very well that the second lady of the Liang family is extremely talented in cultivation, even no less than his eldest brother Liang Qiu, but few people know that what is really terrifying about Liang Lu is not her talent in cultivation, but her talent in strategy and calculation.

This time, even if she was very sure that Mo Yan would not be able to return to the academy, even if she had deduced it many times, she still couldn't see that Mo Yan had the slightest possibility of escaping from the heavens, but she still had to arrange such a hand.

Since the child can be recognized by the academy, he is naturally not an ordinary person, at least his achievements in the future will not be too low, so why not let him become his pawn if he becomes a student of the academy?

If Mo Yan really had that case, he could escape and ascend to heaven in this interception, then this kid would be used to deal with Mo Yan in the future. If Mo Yan died, then he could also be used to deal with the academy, and as for the outcome, of course she wouldn't care.

She didn't have to deliberately tell the child who his enemy was, and she didn't need to let the child know who he was, because she believed that if that child achieved something in the future, she would be able to find out today's clues, and then go to the academy for revenge.

This is the practice, and it is also her way, and the avenue is ruthless......
