"Why should I be afraid? You saved me! If you hadn't saved me, I don't know how many times I'd died, how could I be afraid of you!"

What simple and sincere words, this is the best voice in the world.

Li Chengxiu's empty heart seemed to be stuffed with something, and the floating spirit was also a little more stable.

"I ...... No one can see me before you, no one can hear me, I can't touch anyone, no one else can touch me. Whether it's an object, or a person, or an animal, they just pass through my body, and they don't feel a touch of it. The desire to confide in her heart couldn't stop popping out, and Li Chengxiu carefully told this simple young man her secret: "You are the first one I can touch, and the first one who can perceive me." ”

Listening to Li Chengxiu's words, the young man opened his big eyes, surprised and full of sympathy: "Then aren't you very lonely?"

"Lonely?" Li Chengxiu was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile: "Yes, it's lonely." ”

"Who is that?" the young man asked, "Are you a ghost, or a fairy, or a goblin?"

Li Chengxiu shook his head and replied, "I don't know." I don't know who I am, I don't know where I'm from, I seem to remember that I have a name, but I don't think it's my name. "Raise your hand, ten fingers are slender, thin and long, "Even these hands, I don't know if they are mine or not, one moment I feel it, and the other time I feel that it is not." ”

"You're pathetic. The young man said compassionately, "No one can see you, no one can hear you, and you don't even know who you are......

"It's pathetic. Li Chengxiu smiled and asked the young man: "Who are you?"

"My name is Sun Lin. The young man replied with a smile.

The young man smiled very well, his big eyes were bright and bright, and his round face was like two big buns, and one bun was pressed into a small nest.

"You look familiar!" Li Chengxiu said, "I seem to have seen you somewhere." ”

"Really?" Sun Lin immediately became interested and asked, "Then do you remember where you saw me?" Alas, if you think about it, maybe you can find out where you came from, and you can figure out who you are. Maybe you'll have a lot of friends, so you won't be alone. ”

"You're such a nice guy. Lee Sung-so praised him sincerely.

Hearing Li Chengxiu's praise, Sun Lin lowered his head and said with a gloomy expression: "No, I'm not a good person." ”

"Why do you want to say that about yourself?" asked Li Chengxiu, puzzled.

"I'm not a good person. Sun Lin raised his head and said the secret in his heart with difficulty: "I have done a lot of bad things, I have killed many people, robbed many people's things, and burned down their houses. ”

"Why did you do that?" asked Lee Sung-so in shock.

Sun Lin replied: "Because we are at war. ”

"Fighting?" Li Chengxiu turned his head and looked in the direction they came from, only to see a firelight in the distance over there, and there seemed to be a crystal starlight rising in the sky, and then disappearing into invisibility. Inexplicably, a thought flashed in Li Chengxiu's heart, those little stars are lives one by one, and they disappeared in that firelight.

Nodding, Sun Lin continued: "The war promises a lot of people, and many people have to eat a lot of food, and there is not so much food in the army, so the generals took us to collect food. ”

"Levying grain?" Li Chengxiu felt that this "levy of grain" must be more than just a collection of grain.

Sure enough, Sun Lin smiled miserably, tears flowed from his eyes, he covered his eyes, and choked up: "What do you say about levying grain, in fact, it is robbing! Just like the 'Flying Leopard' in our house, no, it's not even as good as the 'Flying Leopard', the 'Flying Leopard' robs things, but he doesn't kill people, as long as he obeys him, he won't kill him, and he won't rob other people's property, he will leave a little life money for the robbed." He also robbed women, but he never spoiled women, and his women were all robbed by him to go up the mountain and worship the church before entering the cave room. However, we not only robbed things, but also killed people, the strong men were captured as soldiers, the old and weak were killed, the women were killed if they were ruined, and only the few people were collected and put together in the barracks as camp prostitutes!"

Li Chengxiu was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he didn't believe that he had done these things at all: "What you said is true?" Sun Lin looked at Li Chengxiu with teary eyes, Li Chengxiu's heart was inexplicably soft, and he said affirmatively: "You should have robbed things and killed people, but you definitely didn't kill women, and you didn't spoil women." ”

"I don't want to!" Sun Lin broke down and cried out: "I can't do it, but they force me to kill them, or they will kill me! They force me to sleep with women, or they will castrate me, and then send me to the palace to be a eunuch!"

It's incredible, Li Chengxiu covered his mouth and looked at Sun Lin in shock, he was still so simple and so cute.

"So, I want to thank you. Sun Lin got up and knelt in front of Li Chengxiu suddenly, and before Li Chengxiu could react, he kowtowed to her: "Thank you, thank you, you took me out of the army, I don't have to do that kind of thing in the future! Thank you, thank you!"

Looking down at Sun Lin and kowtowing his head, Li Chengxiu's heart seemed to be pulled down and clenched vigorously in his hands, rubbing and squeezing anyway.

Li Chengxiu's eyes were also red, and she also cried with Sun Lin.

Gently put his hand on the top of Sun Lin's head, feeling it coming out of his scalp, and through the body heat of his thick hair, Li Chengxiu said softly and slowly: "Buddha said, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground." The Buddha also said that if a person has done something wrong, if he sincerely repents, then he will be saved. ”

"Will I really be redeemed?" Sun Lin looked at Li Chengxiu reverently.

"Yes. Li Chengxiu must have replied to Sun Lin, and said: "If you feel that you really don't want to go, then do something." ”

"What are you going to do?" Sun Lin looked at Li Chengxiu in a daze, his eyes a little confused.

"Do something good and you'll feel better. Li Chengxiu said: "This is the proverbial atonement." ”

"But all the people I have hurt are dead. Sun Lin said.

"But there are others alive. Lee Sung-so said.

"Is there anyone else alive?" Sun Lin tilted his head in confusion.

"Yes. Li Chengxiu said: "The people you hurt are dead, but there are still people alive, they may still be hurt by others, you stop them, you are doing a good thing." Have you ever heard of a phrase called atonement for sins?"

Sun Lin thought about it seriously, and then nodded lightly: "What you said, I understand." ”

The pain entrenched on Sun Lin's face slowly faded, and his whole look became more and more simple and lovely.

"You really make me feel familiar. Li Chengxiu couldn't help but say again: "It seems that I have seen you somewhere, especially the way you smile." ”

"Where?" Sun Lin asked.

Li Chengxiu thought about it, but he got nothing, he couldn't help but shake his head sadly, and smiled bitterly: "I don't remember, I just feel familiar." I don't have much in my head, I went through them without any picture of you. ”

"Don't be too anxious, you'll get better. Sun Lin comforted: "It doesn't matter if you never remember it." ”

Blinking vigorously, Li Chengxiu said in his heart Didn't he still say that she was pitiful just now? Why did he say that it didn't matter in a blink of an eye?

As if he had seen through Li Chengxiu's thoughts, Sun Lin said with a smile: "Memories can be regenerated if they are gone, and if the previous ones are gone, we will give birth to new ones." ”

"New memories?" Li Chengxiu was stunned.

"Yes, new memories. Sun Lin said loudly: "From now on, from tonight, from the first time you came to save me." ”

This seems like a good idea.

Li Chengxiu smiled and replied loudly: "Okay!"

"Okay!" Sun Lin showed his lovely smile and looked at Li Chengxiu with starry eyes: "Then let's start a new beginning together." ”

"A new beginning together. Li Chengxiu nodded vigorously and raised his hand, Sun Lin was puzzled, she said: "It means that friendship is concluded, let's give a high-five!"

"Smack!" Sun Lin raised his hand without hesitation, put his palm on Li Chengxiu's, and struck each other, making a light and pleasant sound.

……

The sound of horses' hooves running past in a row not far away, the sound of fighting was still faintly coming from behind, the fire in the sky was extinguished and burned, and even the sound of frogs and insects ringing in the ears was always the same sound, which seemed to be a cycle, and seemed to stop. However, Li Chengxiu and Sun Lin know that this moment is very different from not long ago. They have a new beginning, a fresh beginning.

"They are ......"

"You just said ......"

The two of them laughed in unison, and they only felt that it was so beautiful when they looked at each other.

"You speak first. "Sun Lin is very gentlemanly.

"Good. Li Chengxiu was also not humble and asked: "You, no, it's them, who are they fighting with whom?" I just heard what they said about 'Grandpa Cao', what 'Liu Yang', and a prince named Wudan. That 'Grandpa Cao' wore black armor, and the people he led were all in black robes and black armor, and so were you, you were theirs?"

"Yes. Sun Lin nodded.

"Did that 'Grandpa Cao' rebel?" Li Chengxiu asked again: "Why did they rebel?"

"It's not. Sun Lin said: "It was not Grandpa Cao who rebelled, it was the crown prince." ”

"Prince?" Li Chengxiu was stunned: "How could the prince rebel?"

Li Chengxiu was stunned when she said this, she didn't know why she would say such a thing, she knew that in her heart, it was impossible for the prince to rebel. She's sure!

"The emperor is going to abolish the crown prince. Sun Lin explained: "Nine times out of ten, the prince who has been deposed since ancient times has not ended well, and the prince does not want to let himself end well, so he rebelled." ”

Sun Lin's words touched Li Chengxiu a lot, she couldn't believe it, she didn't believe that the prince named Wudan would rebel, but she felt that the emperor might really depose him. Turning his head to look at the majestic city, was he forced to rebel?

"Where is that?" Li Chengxiu pointed in the direction they were coming from and asked Sun Lin.

Sun Lin also looked back and replied, "It's Luoyang City." ”

"Luoyang City!" Li Chengxiu felt that something was shuttling in her mind, but she couldn't catch them, which made her very uncomfortable.

"What's wrong with you?" Sun Lin noticed that something was wrong with Li Chengxiu.

Li Chengxiu said to Sun Lin truthfully: "I seem to have remembered something, but I can't catch it for a while." ”

"Don't rush. Sun Lin said: "It's useless to be in a hurry for this kind of thing. ”

As if it made sense, Li Chengxiu nodded, discarding the questions in her heart and ignoring the things that were shuttling in her mind.

After sitting quietly by the river for a while, Li Chengxiu stood up, and she said to Qian Lin, "I want to go." ”

"Where are you going?" Qian Lin asked urgently, seemingly reluctant to let Li Chengxiu leave.

Li Chengxiu pointed to the West and said, "I want to go there, I feel that there is something I want there." ”

Following the direction pointed by Li Chengxiu, Qian Lin saw the black vulture mountain and the empty and dark sky. Looking at the mountain and the sky, Qian Lin also had an inexplicable impulse: "Okay, I'll accompany you." ”

"Are you not going to do your business?" asked Li Chengxiu in surprise.

Qian Lin said: "I will accompany you, and I can also do my own things along the way." ”

After thinking about it, Li Chengxiu agreed to Qian Lin's request: "Okay, let's be companions together, and I am reluctant to part with you." ”

Hearing Li Chengxiu's words, Qian Lin was particularly happy, and he unfurled his lovely and simple smile again.

Looking at Qian Lin's smiling face, another "Qian Lin" appeared in Li Chengxiu's eyes, he was almost exactly the same as him, but it was obviously different, she didn't know who he was, but she knew that he was very important to her.

"What's wrong with you?" Qian Lin's caring words sounded in her ears, Li Chengxiu came back to her senses in a daze, looking at Qian Lin pointing at her face in a daze, she raised her hand and touched it gently, confused: "Why am I crying?"

Hearing Li Chengxiu's words, Qian Lin didn't want to ask her again.

The two men walked slowly along the creek, which narrowed and narrowed, until it became a deep ditch, which was only more than a meter wide, and they lifted their legs and jumped lightly. The two people jumped over, and so did the two shadows in the water. There were many more of these small rivers ahead, and they crossed them unhurriedly and came to the front of a large river.

"This is Luoshui. Qian Lin said.

"Oh. Li Chengxiu nodded slightly, she looked at the sky, and then said, "Follow this river all the way to the west, and that's where I'm going." ”

Qian Lin said with some embarrassment: "Now that we are attacking Luoyang, there will definitely be many soldiers and horses coming from Luoshui by boat, if we go along Luoshui, we will meet soldiers." ”

"They can't see me. Li Chengxiu said, and after speaking, he patted his head in annoyance: "Yes, I forgot." They can't see me, but they can see you. When they see you, they will definitely arrest you again to be a soldier and do bad things. ”

"Hmm. Qian Lin smiled shyly.

But if there are warships coming and going on the Luoshui River, won't there be soldiers and horses coming and going on the land route? The answer, of course, is no!

So the two of them stopped and began to discuss the route, fortunately, Sun Lin was very familiar with the route in the area, and after several screenings and picking, he chose a possible route.

......The two of them were about to set off and continue on the road, when they suddenly saw a flying horse coming up on the official road not far away, and on the bus was a soldier wearing a green robe and red armor.

"That's a scout!" Before Li Chengxiu guessed the origin of the person, Sun Lin beside him had already given the answer.

"Which one?" asked Li Chengxiu curiously.

As he spoke, he heard a whooshing sound in the air, followed by the neighing of a horse, and the horseman on horseback was shot by a sharp arrow and fell off his horse. The horse ruthlessly left his master and fled for his life, leaving him to be stabbed around his neck by two black-robed and black-armored soldiers who emerged from the grass.

In this way, this knight must not be a member of the Black Armor Army.

The two black-armored soldiers groped around the knight's body, and then pulled something out of his body, like a long wooden stick. For Lee Sung-so, there is some déjà vu.

"This is the Emperor's secret edict!" exclaimed one of the black-armored soldiers, looking at the "wooden stick".

One of them seemed to be surprised, and he came up with an idea: "Hurry up and hand it over to the general." ”

"Take him with you. The first black-armored soldier said that his companion agreed very much, so the two of them took the knight and went in the direction of Luoyang City.

The conversation between the two fell into the ears of Li Chengxiu and Qian Lin word for word, and they glanced at each other and silently reached a unified opinion.

Li Chengxiu didn't care, but Qian Lin was a little troublesome, in order to take into account his situation, Li Chengxiu had to sneak around in the grass with him.

"What......" Suddenly, two people appeared in the grass in front of them, and Qian Lin was shocked and pounced on the two. I never thought that Qian Lin, who was so useless in Luoyang City at that time, was so majestic at this time, not to mention that he won easily with one enemy and two enemies, but it was still completed in a moment, two people, which one was taller than him, stronger than him, and hostile to him, but only exhaled half of the "Shi".

"They, dead?" looked at the two people lying motionless on the ground, Li Chengxiu asked in a daze.

"Yes. Qian Lin replied calmly, saying, "They are even worse than me." ”

Dead? Really dead?

However, what Li Chengxiu found strange was, how could she not feel afraid?

"How do you know?" said Li Chengxiu strangely.

"The people under 'Grandpa Cao' are all wicked people, and they have done all the bad things like me. Qian Lin said through gritted teeth.

"Well, and for a valid reason. Li Chengxiu said that killing the evildoers can be regarded as a kind of atonement. "But if you want to atone for your sins completely, the best way is to be like me. ”

"Like you?" Qian Lin looked at Li Chengxiu puzzled.

"Yes. Li Chengxiu took a posture, adjusted his voice, and said in a particularly stylish manner: "Just like I did to you, I influenced a great wicked person, made him lose his way, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot!"

Qian Lin: "......"

"Let's get down to business, if we don't chase it, we won't be able to catch up. After a moment's pause, Qian Lin suggested.

Continuing to chase, they encountered two more checkpoints, which were easily solved with the first one, and after a while they ran into a fourth checkpoint, and this time, it was a little troublesome.

"One, two, three, four, five...... Fifty ......" Li Chengxiu counted them one by one with his little fingers, counted them, and then looked at Qian Lin with pity: "Sixty, can you do it?"

Qian Lin didn't answer Li Chengxiu's words, he only swallowed his saliva with difficulty, so Li Chengxiu also knew the answer.

"Hahaha......" Suddenly, there was a burst of loud laughter from the depths of the meadow, and the voice was very familiar: "My lord's great cause will be accomplished! Looking at the time on this secret letter, it was five days ago, and I am afraid that the city has been broken at this time, maybe the emperor Lao'er has become the ghost of his son's sword. ”

Li Chengxiu and Qian Lin looked at each other, were silent for a moment, and then said in unison: "It's Grandpa Cao's voice." ”

Then Qian Lin was confused, and he said puzzledly: "Didn't they say that the emperor wanted to depose the crown prince, and the prince rebelled if he didn't comply, didn't we come to rehabilitate on the emperor's orders?"

"Silly boy, can't you see this?" Li Chengxiu looked at Qian Lin with pity.

"What?" Qian Lin was even more confused.

"You have been deceived!" Li Chengxiu patted Qian Lin on the shoulder compassionately.

The "Grandpa Cao" there was saying again: "Go, tell the good news to the people in the city, so that our grandfather can make less effort." ”

"Yes. "Someone was commanded to sneak away in the night like a civet.

"They can't be allowed to spread the news to Luoyang City. Qian Lin said: "That will affect the morale of the defenders, and they must be stopped." ”

"Okay......" Li Chengxiu said casually: "Anyway, it's just one person, you just go and stop it." ”

"Then you wait for me here. Qian Lin said that in fact, what he wanted to say more was that he was the only one who went alone, and she couldn't help anyway. - Along the way, Li Chengxiu tried his skills a few times, but every time it was tragic, so he didn't count on her.

Qian Lin went and returned, and the time came and went quickly, as if it was done in just a few seconds.

"So fast?" Li Chengxiu said in surprise, Qian Lin bared his big white teeth at her, and Li Chengxiu gave him a thumbs up sincerely: "You cow." ”

"I ......," Qian Lin stopped when he wanted to speak.

"What's wrong?" said Li Chengxiu strangely.

"I felt something was wrong with me. Qian Lin said.

"What's wrong?" asked Lee Sung-so.

Qian Lin raised his hands, raised them in front of Li Chengxiu, and said in a low voice: "I feel that I am getting stronger and stronger every time." ”

"Huh?" Li Chengxiu was puzzled.

"Skill. Qian Lin said: "I just knocked that person down with just one punch, obviously far away, but I only got to his back in the blink of an eye, silently, and knocked him down with one punch." I've never been so strong before, I'm particularly weak...... You see it too. ”

Blinking vigorously, Li Chengxiu had some guesses in his heart, but he felt incredible.

"Just after meeting you. Qian Lin said.

"Follow me and have this benefit?" Li Chengxiu's eyes widened, swept Qian Lin up and down, and sighed silently for a while: "It's a loss." ”

"What's the loss?" Qian Lin asked stunned.

Li Chengxiu replied to the question: "Remember to go back and make up for the apprenticeship ceremony, and remember to prepare the ceremony thicker." At least it can't be missing......" tilting her head to look at the sky, a concept flashed through her mind: "At least fifty can't be missing!"

Qian Lin: "Gah?"

"That's right, no one is missing!" Li Chengxiu said firmly: "This is the price of the opening discount." ”

Qian Lin: "......"
