Chapter 48: Mid-Autumn Night

The galaxy is far away, the bright moon is bright, the fragrance of osmanthus is floating in the air, and it is the Mid-Autumn Festival of the year. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At this time, although the Mid-Autumn Festival has not yet eaten the custom of eating moon cakes, it is also a very grand festival, and the meaning is almost the same as in modern times, all of which are looking forward to family reunions and expressing their feelings of missing their hometown and relatives. Welcoming the cold and sacrificing the moon, the Xiang family did not have a housewife, Xiang Liang was originally destined to die in the war, and several women around him were concubines, not housemothers, so the main knife cut moon cakes were the target of Xiang Liang's concubines in previous years. This year, contrary to the norm, Xiang Liang actually invited Ziyan to be the main knife, if Ziyan responded, then don't think about leaving Xiang's house. So Ziyan excused herself under the pretext of being unwell, and she didn't go.

But it's not all a pretext to say that you are unwell, and being sad can be regarded as physical discomfort, right? In modern Ziyan, both parents died, and it is usually fine, but when it comes to the Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, these family reunion festivals, looking at the lights of thousands of homes are a family reunion and happiness, how can she be happy when she is alone and hanging alone? In Yu Ji's memory, in previous years, the Mid-Autumn Festival was a gathering of the Yu family, and the fun was endless. It's just that the bright moon is still the same, and the people who used to get together under the moon are no longer in the world. She was left alone with a lonely ghost wandering in the world.

Thinking of this, Ziyan smiled bitterly, raised his wine glass and saluted the moonlit sky, splashing it on the ground; muttered, "Yu Ji, you've always been reunited with your family, right?" I hope that your family will be reunited, and you will no longer have to suffer from life and death, and I respect you! ”

"Sister Yu, are you drunk?" Yunyan came over with a side dish and put the side dishes on the table.

"Yunyan? Here you come, come, sit. Ziyan pointed to the stone bench next to him. It was a stone bench made of mixed sky jade by Ziyan, similar to the one placed in the pavilion in later generations, but the mixed sky jade inside was hollowed out by purple smoke, just a layer of empty shell.

Although the spiritual power of "Golden Pole" has disappeared from the attribute of attack, the refining weapon is still possible. The extraordinary things of the mixed jade can't be moved at all by ordinary casting and carving methods, and it has to be done with this kind of trick. Wuguang has been transferred, and now she only has Yunyan with her, and it is much easier to act, so she quietly dealt with the Chaotian Jade, part of which was carved into a jade pendant by her, Yunyan and Yuyan each have a piece, the front is a cigarette word, and the back is their name. There is also a spirit gathering array embedded in it to facilitate their cultivation.

When it comes to cultivating Ziyan, she is very depressed, she taught them the women-only martial arts "Red Sleeve Tianxiang Knife", although their progress is not as fast as Xiang Yu Xiangzhuang, and the speed of internal force accumulation is not comparable to her, but the problem is that the internal force attacks they have cultivated are good. The last time she went out of the city to see Yuyan, she ran into seven deserters, and the two girls put them all in a few clicks, and the attack power was quite good. But when it comes to her, she is still powerless, and her combat effectiveness is zero.

"Sister Yu, what are you thinking? Feeling bad? Yunyan asked.

"It's nothing, it's just, it's Mid-Autumn Festival......"

After many years of hard work in the chaos, Yunyan has practiced the kung fu of observing words and colors, just this sentence, I know the meaning of Ziyan: "Is my sister thinking about her family?" ”

"Family? I don't have any family anymore...... Don't talk about me, what about you? You are literate and hyphenated, and your appearance is extraordinary, so you shouldn't be an ordinary family background, right? Do you still have family? Can you tell me about it? Ziyan shook her head, her expression a little sour.

"Yes, but now...... I hope there's more......" Yunyan's voice also fell, and there was a faint sigh, carrying more than a girl of this age could bear.

"What's going on? Would you like to tell me about it? Ziyan shoved the chopsticks into her hand.

"My family...... Originally in Xianyang, it was also an official eunuch's family, with a father, a mother, and two elder brothers, my father was very handsome, my mother was very beautiful, and my brothers were handsome, and they all loved me very much. But now...... The dilapidated family was a few years ago, I was still young at the time, and I don't know what the reason was, I only knew that my father was cut in half, and my two brothers were sentenced to be confiscated into the army, and my mother and I were both enslaved, originally to be used as military prostitutes. My mother only had time to leave this ...... on my hand" Yunyan spread out his palm, and the flesh-colored scars on his palms were hideous and terrifying in the moonlight. "After that time, I never saw my mother again, and later, I heard that my mother committed suicide by jumping out of the car in order to save her name, and no one ......even restrained her corpse," Yunyan said this, lying on the table and crying lowly.

"If you want to cry, cry out, don't keep it in your heart, my sister's shoulder is borrowed from you." Ziyan hugged her thin shoulders and silently gave her a little support and comfort.

Yunyan couldn't help but hug Ziyan and cry.

After a long time, Yunyan's crying stopped, still buried in her shoulder socket, and her voice sounded a little muffled: "Fortunately, my mother gave me this broken palm print, and the army thought I was unlucky, so I sold it to the slave market, and it has been five years since I traveled all the way......"

"So, you don't know if your brother is alive or dead now, do you?" Ziyan stroked her long hair with pity, and her thin little body shrunk pitifully.

"My brother was assigned to serve in the army, and the conditions for the army were extremely difficult, after so many years, maybe my brother would have ...... long ago" Yunyan's precocious maturity makes people feel distressed.

"It turns out that we are all alone...... Ziyan smiled bitterly, and then thought of another poor girl, "What about Yuyan?" Is this also the case with her background? ”

"Yes, she had an accident at home before me, she was only three years old at the time, and her background was similar to mine. However, I heard that her mother died early, and the family was very large, and it was her nurse who was disfigured and followed her to let her survive and learn to write. However, her nurse has also passed away for two or three years. ”

"Alas, they're all miserable people...... Ziyan paused, "Then the orphans I let you take in ......"

"Most of them are like this, either their families are ruined or their families can't afford to support them, so they throw them away. Many don't know their names. Yun Yan wiped his red and swollen eyes before continuing, "I also took in some women and old people, and they were all placed in the Anning Valley outside the city. Most of those children are less than 10 years old, and Yuyan can't take care of them. "Anning Valley is where Ziyan instructed Yunyan to take in the old and weak homeless orphans in a valley outside the city, and a village has been established. The purple smoke of the name of Anning Valley is taken from the meaning of Ankang Ningtai, just to give Ziyan a peaceful place to settle down for the people who can reach Ziyan in this troubled world, so Ziyan also spent a lot of money to use Chaotian Jade and some other materials to arrange a hiding array for Anning Valley, hoping to protect them for a while.

"How's the Stealth Array?"

"I've tried, except for me and Yuyan, without this jade pendant to open the way, I can't get in or out. We sent food and utensils. Now that the cushion of the slide rail has been installed, there is no need for my sister to send things personally, just throw it down from the mountain, plus prey and wild vegetables, and it is enough to feed and wear. We are self-sufficient, and life is much better than wandering outside. They are also mostly reluctant to leave. ”

"That's good, in troubled times, human life is cheap, we can't save the whole world, and if we can help the people in front of us, it can be regarded as making our conscience more stable. I have persuaded the Xiang family to open a warehouse and give away food and porridge and medicine, although it is for the sake of fame, but the common people can benefit, even if the motive is not pure, there is no need to force it. Ziyan paused, and suddenly remembered something, "Their moon sacrifice is not over so soon, you and I still feel lonely, and Yuyan alone is probably even more uncomfortable, why don't we go to see her." ”

"Sister is going to slip out?" Yunyan was surprised, she couldn't imagine that Ziyan, who had a cold temperament and a calm and clever demeanor on weekdays, would come up with such an unobtrusive and risky idea. But this is like a real girl, don't forget, Ziyan is only fifteen years old!

"What, it's difficult?" Purple smoke smiled.

"No, no problem." Yunyan is also eager to try. Sneaking out of Xiang's Mansion is not a small thing, but she is usually alone, and she wants to bring her young lady today? There are challenges, and she loves it.

"No problem, let's go!" Ziyan's face was very excited.
