The end of the North, the place of exile.

Although Bu Yangying helped Nalan Invincible through a difficult time, it was obviously not enough.

The training of recruits is not just a day, and it is impossible for Bu Yangying to guard Nalan invincibility every day, and fight with his sword again and again.

The night wind struck, and he and Nalan walked in the penal colony invincible.

"Do you see the high wall in front of you?" asked Bu Yangying.

"I'm fat, but my eyes are good. Nalan Invincible looked at the high wall and couldn't help but shudder, "It's too high, how can you fall from such a high wall?"

The fat man walked through the penal colony with Shadow and White Flash, still on suspicion, as if suspecting that some despicable prank awaited him in the shadows.

"I really didn't expect that," Nalan Invincible said as he walked, exhaling into a white mist in the cold wind. He was already exhausted and out of breath just to keep up with the footsteps of Bu Yangying, "All the houses are dilapidated, and here, here is so ......"

"How cold?" the thick frost was gradually enveloping the place, and Bu Yangying could feel the gray weeds shatter under his feet.

The fat man nodded sadly. "I was most afraid of the cold," he said, "and last night I woke up in the middle of the night, and it was pitch black, and the fire was extinguished, and I thought that by this morning I would freeze to death." ”

It seems that Mu Sheng is right, "You must have come from a warm place in the south." ”

"Until last month, I didn't know what snow was. When I entered the north, this white thing began to fall from the sky, like soft feathers, and at first I thought it was so beautiful, but it kept falling, and my bones were almost frozen, and the snow was still falling, and I was really afraid that it would never end up falling. ”

Bu Yangying smiled back, "I'm afraid that's the case, but there are sunny days here, such as tonight, you have to be patient." ”

The walls at the end of the world stood straight in front of them, glittering in the pale light of the waning moon.

The stars burn in the night overhead, clear and sharp.

"They won't force me to go up, will they?" asked Nalan Invincible in panic, standing under the wall, feeling the danger of the wall even more, he swept the long wooden ladder winding from the high wall, and his face was suddenly as hard as ice, "If I want to climb up, it will be harder than an elephant to climb up." ”

"There's an iron cage there," Bu Yangying pointed to him, "and you can sit in the iron cage and hang it." ”

Nalan Invincible snorted: "I'm afraid of high places, and besides, no one will move me." ”

Bu Yangying frowned in disbelief: "What are you not afraid of?" he asked, "I really don't understand, if you are really so cowardly, why are you here?"

Nalan was invincible for a long time, and there seemed to be endless grievances hidden in that big round face. He sat down on the frosty floor, and he cried like this, convulsive, and his whole body trembled.

Bu Yangying ran out of ideas, so he could only stand aside and wait.

The fat boy's tears are like snow in the north, and they will never stop falling.

In the end, it's still white flash smart. The pale snow wolf leaned in silently like a shadow, and Shen licked the tears on Nalan Invincible's face with his tongue. The fat boy exclaimed...... But for some reason, in the blink of an eye, his sobs turned into laughter.

Bu Yangying smiled as well, and then they sat together on the frozen ground, curled up in their cloaks, and White Flash lay between them.

Bu Yangying talked about his younger brother Bu Yangming, talked about how he found Bai Shan, and soon, he found that he was talking about the North Underworld.

"I want to go back sometimes. "I dreamed that I was walking in an empty hall with my voice reflected on the walls, but no one answered, so I opened the doors and called the names of everyone I knew." ”

"And then?" Apparently the fat boy was interested in the topic.

"I don't know who I'm looking for, maybe it's my father, maybe it's my little sister, maybe it's my brother who is seriously injured. ”

"Your brother? You mean the brother who found White Flash. ”

Bu Yangying nodded yes and was silent.

"Poor boy, the gods of the seven kingdoms will bless him. The fat boy had tears in his eyes again, as if it was his brother who was lying in bed, "Then who did you find in your dream?"

"No, not one. Bu Yangying shook his head, he had never told anyone about this dream, and he didn't understand why he was open to Nalan Invincible at this moment, but it felt so good to say it.

"In my dream I passed through the place was deserted, not even the snow crows, the stable was only a pile of dry bones, I walked through the ruins, climbed the tower staircase, and at last I found myself standing in front of the door that led to the catacombs, I knew very well that I had to go down, but I didn't want to," he paused, feeling a little helpless, "and every time I dreamed of this, I woke up." "He wakes up sweating profusely and shivering alone in his dark bedroom.

At this moment, Bai Flash would jump up to him, snuggle up to him with a body as warm as the morning sun, and Bu Yangying would put his face on the long white fur of the snow wolf, and fall into a deep sleep again.

"Do you dream of your family's grave?" asked Bu Yangying.

"No, it won't. Nalan replied with a rare crispness, "I hate it." He stroked Bai Flash, lost in thought, and Bu Yangying didn't ask.

After a while, Nalan Invincible finally spoke, and Bu Yangying listened quietly, listening to this self-confessed coward tell the reason for coming to the penal place.

The Nalan family has a long history and is famous, and is a vassal who guards the Murong family in the south. Nalan Invincible is the eldest son of the patriarch Nalan Gangfeng, and he was born to inherit a rich territory and a strong castle.

However, even when Nalan Invincible was born, his father had great pride and expectations for his son, and named him: Invincible. But as he grew older, fat, cowardly, and incredibly timid, all his love and expectations vanished.

Nalan Invincible does not like horseback riding, does not like sword dancing or fighting, and is born with a fear of blood.

He likes all kinds of musical instruments, soft sweets, he likes to learn from the cook, he likes to read alone in the attic, and he likes to study all kinds of strange gadgets in the basement.

In order to make his son become himself or what he wants, Nalan Gangfeng has tried all kinds of methods:

The fat boy suffered a great deal of hardship, he was slapped and starved, he was forced to sleep in armor at night so that he could get used to life in the army, or he put on a woman's clothes and went around the city to humiliate him with humiliation, and even put two young women on his bedroom bed so that he could become a real man......

All attempts came to naught, but the result was that he was getting fatter and less daring.

His father, Nalan Gangfeng, turned to anger and finally disgust.

"One last time," Nalan Invincible revealed, his voice whispering. "My father brought in two wizards, and this was the last thing he could think of. ”

"Wizard?" Bu Yangying asked curiously, "What spell did the wizard use?"

"I won't use it for any effect," Nalan Invincible painfully recalled the horrific experience, "Several wizards slaughtered a huge bull, they gutted the bull and put me in it, soaked me in warm blood, but I didn't become as brave as they said, I ...... at the time"

"How were you?" asked Bu Yangying.

"I threw up, I hadn't eaten for three days, and I kept throwing up, it was disgusting. ”

After that, I don't know if Nalan was invincible or unlucky, and his mother gave birth to a second son for Nalan's family.

From that day on, Nalan was invincible and lived happily for a few years, and Nalan Gangfeng completely ignored his eldest son, and devoted all his energy to this younger son who was young but energetic and more like his own no matter how he looked at it.

So, Nalan Invincible immersed himself in books to explore the world.

However, the good times did not last long, and his younger brother gradually grew up.

Finally, one morning, his father insisted on taking him to hunt, but Nalan was invincible and couldn't resist, so he went into the mountains and forests with his father.

After entering the mountain forest, his father Nalan Gangfeng retreated from the guards and lived alone in the depths of the dense forest with the fat boy.

"Invincible," his father said to him, "though you are cowardly, you have done nothing out of the ordinary, and I have no excuse to annul your inheritance, but I will not give you the fief to inherit under any circumstances, do you understand?"

The fat boy nodded at the time: "I know, I never wanted to inherit those, I can do it or not, I just want to go back to the attic and read." ”

"Kid, you don't understand, you don't understand what I mean," Nalan Gang Feng continued to explain with an expressionless face: "Today you have two paths to choose, either you will be in the process of hunting, your horse will be frightened at the cliff in front of you, and you will also fall into the cliff and die, I will personally verify the identity and report to the Seven Kingdoms." After saying that, he looked at his fat son.

"What other path can I choose?" asked Nalan Invincible.

"Either you declare in your family that you are going to the penal colony, renounce all inheritances, and set off for the north before the sun sets today. ”

Nalan Invincible and Bu Yangying sat side by side, telling all this past in a calm and dull voice, as if telling someone else's story.

All kinds of bizarre things happened to this timid and fat boy, and he told them eloquently, but he didn't shed tears or feel sad.

When he finished speaking, the two of them sat together and listened to the night breeze.

And at the end of this world, it is often outrageously quiet, and if you pay attention, you can hear the sound of wind, snow falling, and dripping water.

It seems like a long time has passed.

"Oh broke, I almost forgot to get down to business. Bu Yangying stood up.

"What's wrong?" Nalan Invincible also got up, looking very puzzled, "At this point, what else can happen." ”

"Of course there is, the stakes are high. With that, he led the way to the colony's quarters.

After Nalan returned to his residence invincible, Bu Yangying summoned a few people, including Mu Sheng, Heihu, Ding Busan, and Ding Busan.

"Now, brothers," Bu Yang said to the crowd, "I want to make sure that our new friend Nalan is invincible, and I don't want someone to fight Nalan Invincible tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I must know their attitude, you can go and find out." ”

Mu Sheng and the other four people wandered into the night and wandered around the major barracks.

The news was quickly fed back, and Hei Hu and Ding Bu came back with a smile and replied: "The brothers in the camp agree with your idea, they will not do anything to the fat man." ”

Mu Sheng was the last to come back, but it didn't seem to be going well.

"How's it going?" asked Bu Yangying.

"Everyone is fine, but Ma Tie and Ma Tie don't agree with your proposal, and he still says......"

"What did he say?"

"He said that whenever he had the chance, he would beat the pig-headed general. Mu Sheng said.

"Good. Buyang's eyes showed a fierce light.

An hour later, there was a dead silence in the penal colony, and after everyone had fallen asleep.

Bu Yangying led Mu Sheng and Heihu out, and they slipped into Ma Tie's barracks.

When Mu Sheng held down Ma Tie's arm, Hei Hu pressed his legs with his butt, and Bai Shen pounced on his chest at the same time.

Ma Tie woke up and wanted to shout, but in front of his face was a terrifying wolf head, the wolf's eyes were blood-red, and the silver wolf teeth were shining, and he wanted to shout but was powerless to make a sound.

Bu Yangying heard Ma Tie's heavy gasp.

"Brother Ma Tie, we have always respected your opinion, but," Bu Yangying in front of the bed looked at Ma Tie fixedly, and said softly, "But we know where you sleep, my wolf can come to visit you at any time without sleeping for days and nights." ”

After speaking, the three of them evacuated silently, and the white wolf disappeared without a trace.

There was a dead silence in the barracks, as if nothing had happened.

Ma Tie's breathing was still heavy, and his head fell heavily into the pillow as if he had a nightmare.
