In that past, no one except Situ Yi knew the inside story. That winter, just turning fifteen years old and less than a year into the army, he disappeared alone. Seven days and six nights later, with a body of scars, he calmly appeared in front of the thunderous old country company Tu Jing, holding a pair of tamed Yunze wild horses in his hands.

No one knows how the always elegant man tamed a pair of Yunze wild horses with a dagger and a steel whip, and even his father Situ Jing could only guess the bloodshed from the deep wound at his tiger's mouth. Situ Yi calmly refused his father's reward in the praise that shocked the whole army, and only asked him in public to give him a chance to talk secretly.

That night, Situ father and son had a long conversation for the first time, and the next morning, Situ Jing, who had always deliberately avoided the suspicion of cronyism, issued an order to order Situ Yi to form an independent camp and train Yunze horses. After that, Yunze Mustang was given a nice name by Situ Yi - Jade Cong, and the Great Chu cavalry also initially established camp at that time. Two and a half years later, Situ Yi led a cavalry battalion to win a miraculous victory, and he and his cavalry battalion became famous in a battle, and Yucong has been famous on the frontier since then.

After many years, the person who now brings up this past is Qin Nanxi, facing her ignorant eyes, Situ Yi did not refuse silently as always, but only talked about some innocuous stories lightly.

Qin Nanxi naturally couldn't imagine the bitter past hidden after Situ Yi's evasion. That part of the past when he fought for his life in order to prove himself to his father and get a fair chance to compete.

Qin Nanxi listened to the story with great interest, and only remembered a strange and beautiful name in it - Luoxinghe - the name that was especially tender and nostalgic in Situ Yi's mouth, and it was also the place where he found Yunze Wild Horse.

"Then why is the river called the Falling Star River? Has a star ever fallen into a river? Qin Nanxi stopped his slow westward footsteps, turned to Situ Yi beside him, raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Situ Yi held back the ups and downs of his heart, shook his head and said, "I have never seen a star fall into the river. However, the name of the falling star river does have something to do with the stars. ”

Hearing this, Qin Nanxi asked, "What is the relationship?" How can the rivers of the earth have anything to do with the stars in the sky? ”

But seeing Situ Yi pause, he raised his eyes and glanced at the sun that was gradually sinking in the west, raised the reins in his hand, and said to her, "Why don't we go and see it with our own eyes now?" ”

Qin Nanxi smiled brightly, turned around and put his right hand on his eyebrows, followed his gaze to meet the golden light on the west side of the sky, and then suddenly said: "Oh~ It turns out that the best place you want to take me to in the market is Luoxinghe?" ”

Although the jujube red horse that was temporarily selected by Situ Yi is also tall and strong, with the bloodline of jade skull, it is an inferior product that has been eliminated after all, and it is indeed a world of difference compared to the "stepping goose" of Gao Jian Shenjun. It walked for a long time, and it seemed that Situ Yi behind him had no intention of stopping. Seeing that the golden red of the West Sky was about to end, Qin Nanxi was secretly a little anxious. But Situ Yi steaded the horse steadily, and led her over one hill after another with ease.

Slowly, the gentle continuous hills were left behind, and the last hilltop was finally trampled under the feet of the jujube red horse.

In front of me, an empty space suddenly spread. I saw the vast expanse covered with clean snow. Between heaven and earth, there is only a huge emptiness, white and vast.

The earth in the distance is like a girl, laying out gentle and soft curves, slowly probing to the corner of the sky that flickers in the golden light. She was moving away, though very slowly, solemnly, but her steps were desperate, as if nothing in the whole universe could turn her back. She wants to keep moving forward, to go to her destined destination, to think about the thread stitched between heaven and earth. There, the earth embraced the blue sky's chest, her softness and his hardness finally embraced each other, melting in the golden glow of the setting sun, and they were lovers who had been reunited for a long time, and they have been inseparable ever since. The golden red light of the setting sun is the red candle of their wedding feast, warmly celebrating their reunion.

Qin Nanxi on horseback stared at the sky silently. The sunset is not an unfamiliar scene, but she never imagined that there would be such a sunset between heaven and earth! Her mouth was half open, and she forgot everything in shock.

Behind him, the stars have not yet risen. A murmuring, soft sound of water whispered to her ears like the honey whispers of heaven and earth.

"Nanxi" Situ Yi whispered under the horse, and he reached out to help her get off the horse.

He looked up at her, his eyes filled with the glow of the setting sun. Facing the bottomless tenderness in his eyes, she couldn't help but gently stretch out her hands.

"Look," he led her a few steps, pointing to the mountain range looming in the western sky, and whispered, "That mountain is called Amiri, and the water of the Luoxing River melts from the glacier in that mountain." ”

In the direction of his finger, a band of light poured down from the sunset at the corner of the sky, and gradually approached from the extremely bright line in the very thin place, gradually becoming wider, and the field gradually dimmed.

"This is the Falling Star?" Qin Nanxi lowered his eyes and looked down at the river that was almost completely frozen under the hill, and said disappointedly. After seeing the sunset in front of me, the real falling galaxy seems to be only the name left, which is still moving.

Situ Yi was very patient, he tied his horse, picked a piece of snow and sat down, turned around and patted his side, looking at the fading gold in the sky, and said mysteriously: "Come, let's wait for the stars with the falling galaxy." ”

"Waiting for the stars?" Qin Nanxi looked at him with confidence on his face, not believing that the frozen river under the hill could have any strange scene.

"Well, I used to wait here when I was a kid. The view is the best from here. Situ Yi leaned back, half-leaning on the snow, looking at the sky that was getting dark. There was obviously a smile in his words, but the warmth at the corners of his lips slowly faded.

"As a child? How did you end up here as a child? Qin Nanxi turned sideways and stared at him.

Situ Yi reluctantly raised the corners of his lips and said in a low voice: "At the foot of the Amiri Mountain, there was once a tribe called Sayir. More than 100 years ago, Zaire's ancestors were instructed by the gods to lead his people to the far east in search of happiness. The Sayirs searched all the way in the direction of the rising sun, and after walking for three years and three months, they finally found the holy spring of their dreams at the foot of Mount Amiri. Since then, the Sayers have been rooted in the foothills of Mount Amiri. ”

"The Sayirs? Are they still under that mountain? Why have I never heard of it? Qin Nanxi looked at the dark mountain shadows in the sky from afar, and wondered. She couldn't find any information about the tribe in her memory.

Situ Yi shook his head and was silent for a long time before he said in a low voice: "No, there are no more Zaires in this world." Twenty-one years ago, when the kingdom of Di went south, all the Sayrs were killed in battle. ”

"All killed?"

"All killed! Of the twenty-one thousand seven hundred and sixty-two, there was not one left. ”

"Even women and children?" Qin Nanxi almost screamed, she instinctively wanted to escape such a tragic story, and turned to him beggingly, but saw Situ Yi's eyes closed, and there was a trace of sadness wrapped in her calm eyebrows that she had never seen before.

"Brother Yi~" Qin Nanxi couldn't help but call out softly, she seemed to know that his sorrow at this time was heavy and long.

"The last chief of Zaire led his 11,579 warriors against 80,000 Beidi cavalry for forty-three days, and at last they were all killed on the battlefield with no bones left." Situ Yi's hand behind him suddenly clenched tightly, and the sound of his hand holding the snow was like a drumbeat in the dark night, which suddenly resounded in his ears, reminding people of the passage of time that they could not forget at all.

Qin Nanxi's hands at his side couldn't help but clench with him, lowered his head, and waited quietly for him to speak.

"The old chief had two daughters, and they took the rest of the tribe's women and children and continued to protect their homeland until, until, the iron horsemen of Beidi crossed their bodies and leveled their homeland."

Situ Yi's voice was very soft, but Qin Nanxi's heart was still inexplicably pinched, she didn't know if it was for the tribal princess who swore to defend her homeland in the story, or because of the faint but deep sadness in his eyes.

I only heard him gently receive: "They are all beautiful and young, one of them is called Ihda and the other is called Jona." ”

"Ihyda!" Qin Nanxi turned around in surprise and looked at him in shock.

Situ Yi's eyes were still looking at Mount Amiri in the distance, and he said quietly: "Yes, Ikhda and Ruona." One is my mother and the other is my aunt. ”
