Saibei grassland, in the tent of the Southern Xiongnu king.

An NV man dressed in Hanfu is holding a saber and carving something seriously, and while carving, he has a variety of expressions, as if he is talking to a puppet.

In her hand was a palm-sized root, the top of which had been carved into the shape of a young man, although it was not clear, but if you looked closely, you could still see that it was a young man.

There is nothing special about the man's facial features, but the part of the mouth is slightly upturned, and lù makes an arc, as if he is smiling evilly.

And when the NV Zi carved this, a smile also flowed on his face, but this smile quickly turned into a light sigh, and a few traces of sadness appeared between his eyebrows.

"Miss, Miss, Lord Zuo Wang is here." A seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl suddenly ran in and said anxiously to the NV who was stunned at the puppet.

And NV was also a little panicked, and hurriedly hid the doll and saber under the futon.

"Haha, what are you doing, Yan'er, tell you a happy thing, today I had a wine competition with that guy who had a car, and he lost to me with five hundred cows and five hundred sheep." Outside the tent, a gorgeously dressed man walked in and laughed loudly.

This person is the left king of the Southern Xiongnu, named Hulan Zhu'erhan, and the Da Da Che'er in his mouth is the right king of the Xiongnu.

"Then Cai Yan will congratulate Lord Zuo Wang." Cai Yan's attitude was lukewarm, and there was a bit of respect between his words.

It has been nine years since Cai Yan was exiled to the Southern Xiongnu, and nine years of time have made the original young man become mature, and the shyness on his face has disappeared, replaced by a kind of grace, and within the grace, there is still a little bit of sorrow, it is this kind of sorrow that makes Cai Yan look more connotative.

Hulan Zhuerhan looked at Cai Yan's appearance like this, with a stupid expression in his eyes, and raised his hand towards Cai Yan's cheek.

"Lord Zuo Wang, please respect yourself" Cai Yan flashed Hulan Zhuerhan's big hand and said in a low voice.

"Ahem, it's the king who is rude." Hulan retracted his right hand and coughed.

Although Cai Yan has been captive by him for nine years, the other party has not succumbed to herself at all in these nine years, no matter what means she uses, soft or hard, but she is indifferent at all, the matter of death has happened not once or twice, and this Hulan Zhuerhan also really likes Cai Yan, so he chose to wait after Cai Yan's third death, and did not force her too much.

"Yan'er, I brought you a good thing when I went to the Central Plains this time, you can see how it is." Hulan clapped his hands, and then a person walked in with a piano in his hand.

"Jiaoweiqin" Cai Yan looked at the appearance of the qin, and couldn't help but cover his mouth and said softly.

This Jiaowei piano is Cai Yan's father Cai Yong personally made, this piano has accompanied Cai Yong for most of his life, and after Cai Yong's death, this piano was originally in Cai Yan's hands, but later Luoyang was in trouble, this piano is unknown, and now I can see this piano, how can Cai Yan not be excited.

"Haha, I know what Yan'er likes the most, I inquired about the whereabouts of this qin in every way, and finally let me know that this qin is in a small tribe of the Qiang people, I destroyed all the small parts, and then I got this Jiaowei qin." Hulan Zhuerhan took the piano from the hands of the people behind him, and then handed it to Cai Yan's hands.

"Lord Xie Zuowang" Cai Yan took the Jiaowei piano and her body trembled slightly, she thought that she would never see this piano again in her lifetime, but she never thought that this piano would also be lost in this desert grassland.

"Haha, as long as Yan'er is happy." Taking advantage of Cai Yan's inattention, Hulan grabbed her hand and laughed.

"Lord Zuo Wang, how about I stroke the piano for you." Cai Yan violently broke free from Hulan Zhu'erhan, and immediately diverted the other party's attention.

"Fuqin? Okay, it's also my blessing to let Yan'er play the piano for me. He knows Cai Yancai's name, and it is precisely because of Cai Yan's fame that Xiu Lan Zhu'er Han has such patience with him.

Cai Yan sat down, put the Jiaowei Qin on his lap, and stroked the strings, and then a piano song fluttered under Cai Yan's fingertips, overflowing the entire tent.

And Hulan Zhu'er Han also seemed to be intoxicated by the sound of the piano, and with his eyes closed, he sat next to Cai Yan, but this time, he felt that there seemed to be something foreign under him.

When I opened the chuáng mattress, I saw that it was a half-carved doll.

"Yan'er, can't you forget this person?" Hulan Zhuerhan couldn't help but feel angry when he looked at the appearance of the puppet, and he clicked the puppet. He waited for Cai Yan for nine years, and he had never touched a finger of Cai Yan in these nine years, he felt that he could use time to move Cai Yan and let Cai Yan only have himself in his heart, but the puppet in front of him was like a mountain, completely sealing Cai Yan's heart, no matter how much effort he made, it was useless in Cai Yan's eyes, which made Hulan Zhuerhan not angry.

Seeing Hulan Zhu'er Han holding the puppet he had just carved, Cai Yan's piano stopped abruptly, "He is my husband, how can I forget, please put the puppet down with Lord Zuo Wang." ”

"Okay, he is your husband, then what am I, how have I treated you in the past nine years, don't you know in your heart." Hulan Zhu'erhan's voice became louder, and he questioned Cai Yan like a lion roaring.

"Lord Zuo Wang is very good to me, Yan'er naturally knows it, but Yan'er only has my husband in her heart." Cai Yan put Jiao Weiqin aside, stood up, and said with his eyes on Hulan Zhuerhan.

The only person in Cai Yan's heart is Zhou Tian, the person who broke into his heart when he was young, has not changed since he was exiled to the Xiongnu for nine years, and will not change in the future

"Hmph, do you only have that person in mind, then I will definitely kill him." Hulan held the doll tightly and wanted to crush it.

"Put it down" Cai Yan took out a saber from under the futon, placed it in front of him, and shouted at Hulan Zhu'er Hanjiao.

"Okay, good, you dare to use a knife on me for a puppet, nine years of time I am so worthless in your heart." Hu Lan said three "good" words in a row, stared at Cai Yan and said.

"Cai Yan deeply misses the grace of King Zuo, but if Lord King Zuo is like this, Cai Yan deserves to die." Cai Yan put the saber on his neck and cut a thin blood mark.

"Yan'er, you ......" King Zuo sighed, "I can wait for you for one nine years, and I can wait for you for a second nine years, I don't believe that you will always remember that man." ”

Hulan threw the doll in his hand onto the chuáng mattress and walked out of the tent.

And Cai Yan collapsed on the chuáng, and the saber in his hand also slipped to the ground, and the girl next to him hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

"Miss, are you alright?" This little girl, like Cai Yan, was also taken captive from the Central Plains by Hulan Zhuerhan, and she was originally a girl from a large family, so she was arranged by Hulan Zhuerhan to take care of Cai Yan.

"It's okay, bring the doll for me." Cai Yan shook her head, just kept panting, no matter how strong she was on the surface, she was still the weak NV child in her heart.

Taking the puppet handed over by the little girl, Cai Yan wiped it carefully, and then picked up the saber that fell on the ground, and restored the part that had been damaged by Hulan Zhuerhan.

"Yue'er, go and guard Mén, don't worry about me." Cai Yan said to Yue'er's little girl, and then she stood up and walked to the corner of the tent.

In the inconspicuous corner of the tent, there is a wooden box, which is not special, but it is Cai Yan's sustenance to survive in this desert grassland.

Cai Yan opened the wooden box, and inside it were dolls carved from tree roots.

A whole box, about a hundred or more.

These puppets were all neatly lying in the wooden box, the first few faces were blurred, and the whole body could only be slightly seen to be a puppet. Obviously, these dolls were carved by Cai Yan when he was first taken captive to the Xiongnu, and there is a trace of dried blood on them, which was left by Cai Yan's hand cut by a saber when he first carved the dolls.

Cai Yan, who had just been exiled to the Huns, was afraid of washing her face with tears all day long, and the only thing that could accompany her was these vague-looking dolls.

With these dolls by her side, the weak Cai Yan chose to live strongly, and carving dolls has also become something that Cai Yan has been able to comfort your heart for nine years.

With the increase in the number of puppets carved by Cai Yan, the faces of these puppets gradually became clearer, the corners of their mouths smiled evilly, and their eyebrows were slightly raised.

And when Cai Yan saw these dolls, it was like seeing Zhou Tian himself.

She often looked at these people in a daze, and the scenes of herself and Zhou Tian together came to her mind.

She looked at the puppet and laughed, and she laughed too.

She looked at the doll getting angry, and she pursed her own little mouth.

She looked at the puppet and frowned, and she was also anxious.

In countless long nights, she met Zhou Tian in her dreams, traveled to Luoyang with Zhou Tian again, and watched the sunset with Zhou Tian, but as soon as she woke up from the dream, all this turned into nothingness again, and she would sit up from the chuáng couch, open the box containing Zhou Tian's dolls, and look at Zhou Tian's dolls one by one, in a daze, smirk, and sorrow until dawn......

It was originally a big chapter, but it was divided into two parts by Xinxi, this chapter has no Zhou Tian, some are just Zhou Tian's dolls, and this chapter is just for Cai Yan, Cai Wenji, who is weak and wandering in the land of the Huns......
