I lingered outside the Huofu Gate for a long time, but I never dared to go in. I always thought that I was a person of courage, but now I realize that for the people and things that are really important, there are only gains and losses, and courage seems to be far away.

I don't dare to enter if I want to enter, and I am reluctant to leave if I want to go.

In desperation, my heart moved, and I secretly jumped on the roof of another house, stood on the highest place, and looked at the direction of Huo Qu's sick bed.

In the dark night, the lights are faintly visible, what are you doing under the lights?

It was a moonless night, with only three or two faint stars flickering and disappearing.

In the darkness of the night, everything fell asleep, but he had not yet slept. To me, he was like a star in a dark sky with no moon at night.

I stood alone on a high place, my robe blown by the night wind. The tiny lamp in the room seemed to tell me that Huo Quai's illness was there.

The light kept on, I kept looking, I don't know how long I stood on the road, there were a few faint rooster crows before I realized that the sky was about to dawn, and my heart suddenly soured.

A lonely lamp, a long night, alone, why can't you sleep for a long night?

I took out the silk handkerchief with the plum blossom earrings in my arms, tied a knot, raised my hand and threw it into Huofu.

There were about to be early risers on the street, and I didn't dare linger any longer, so I hurriedly jumped off the roof. After a few steps, his footsteps paused, and he stayed in the local area for an instant, and Chu Jinmo was standing in the middle of the street.

In the dim morning light, he tilted his head slightly, staring motionlessly at the roof where I had stood all night, the cold morning breeze blowing, and the corners of his robe sleeves still seemed to carry a little chill of the night. How long has he been standing here?

He looked down at me, his dark eyes as deep as an ancient well, and he didn't seem to have any emotion, but even through thousands of mountains and rivers, he still couldn't avoid such a focused gaze.

My heart was suffocated, I didn't dare to look at him, and hastily looked away. The two stood in the distance, he was silent, I didn't move, silent.

There were occasional passers-by on the road who looked at him and looked at me, full of curiosity, but because of Chu Jinmo's extraordinary spirit, they didn't dare to look more, so they had to walk quickly.

The sunlight changed from weak to strong, shining brightly all over the place.

He suddenly laughed, and seemed to laugh heartily, "I thought you would keep watching like this." ”

My mouth moved slightly, but my throat was astringent, and it was difficult to answer.

Chu Jinmo walked over and put a cloak on my body, "Go home!" ”

Go home? Family? Where do I have a home. After coming here, Huo Mansion was my home, but now it doesn't belong to me. Whether it's that home, it's that person.

"Chu Jinmo, when you read this letter, I was already gone. Xie Lu thanked you, I don't know what else Lu Dao could say to you besides Xie Lu Xie.

I have always wanted to live a peaceful rural life, without war or sadness.

Now that my mind is over, I go alone to find my farm, I wish you happiness!

Mulan"

Leaving a letter to Chu Jinmo, I went on the road alone. I didn't know where to go, so I hired a car and told the driver to go all the way north.

From now on, herding horses and sheep outside the Saiwai is my destination, right? There was a slight pain in my heart, Huo Quai, I once swore to guard you by my side, but I still left after all. Maybe... You don't need my guardianship at all.

The coachman is a very old man, the years have left a knife-like mark on his face, the coachman raised his whip and gently whipped the horse, "Sister-in-law, let's go further north and enter the territory of the Huns, I want to send you there, but my family still doesn't know that I have walked so far." ”

"Wong, can you sell me your horse?" I asked.

"This?"

I pulled out the money, "Is this enough?" ”

"Enough, enough!" The coachman took the money and couldn't help but say, "Where are you going, why can't you tell yourself?" ”

I was stunned, after I came out of Chu Jinmo's Courtyard, I only knew that Lu Dao had been going north, but I had no idea where I was going.

After bidding farewell to the coachman, I rode my own horse through the desert.

The Mobei in August is like the south of the Yangtze River in March, the warbler flies and the grass grows, it is the most beautiful scenery and the most intense scenery, but it is a pity that this time is almost over.

When the sunset is at its most beautiful, it is always close to dusk.

There are many things in the world that are like this, especially some of the most brilliant and beautiful things.

So there is no need to be sad, and there is no need to regret it, even if you go to Jiangnan to catch up with spring, you don't have to keep it.

Because this is life, there are some things that you can't keep.

You must first learn to endure its ruthlessness before you know how to enjoy its tenderness.

I rode alone in the vast desert and I don't know how far I went, but I only knew that the clothes of the people I saw along the road gradually changed from wide Hanfu to knee-length Hun clothes with narrow sleeves. I also passed by many tents, and I often met kind-hearted herdsmen who took me in.

On this day, passing by an oasis, he stopped his horse to drink and rest. I took off my shoes and socks and dipped my feet into the cold lake to relieve my fatigue.

On the edge of the lake with dense reeds, a gust of wind blows, the reeds hang their heads and fly and sway, and herds of cattle, horses and camels can be seen everywhere. The sunlight sprinkled on the surface of the lake, reflecting halos of light, just like the Saiwaiju Yanhai that passed by when he followed Huo Qubing to participate in the Battle of Hexi.

I turned my head to the side, and Huo Quzhi sat next to me, and said with a smile: "This is really a good place." ”

I hurriedly shook my head and blinked vigorously, and his shadow disappeared into thin air, turning out to be a hallucination.

"You're such an interesting girl, didn't you get bitten by a bug, why did you shake your head like this?"

I looked up and saw a tall man in a short robe drinking horses by the lake. He has a Chinese face, round and big eyes, a straight nose, and a simple face, which gives people a sense of closeness. At this time, he looked at me and showed a simple smile, "My name is Helian Rui, and I am going to Manchester City." Where are you going? ”

I shook my head and said, "I don't know what to do, maybe I'll go all the way to the North Pole and then turn around and go to the South Pole." ”

Helian Rui opened his mouth wide, revealing a puzzled look, "Where are you talking about, why have you never heard of it?" ”

I smiled faintly, but did not explain the name of the future place.

Helian Rui's horse was bitten by some insect in the road, let out a neigh, and actually broke free from the reins and ran out. Helian Rui exclaimed and chased out, "My horse! ”

He turned back to me and shouted, "If you don't have anywhere to go, come to Manchester City!" ”

I laughed at Helian Rui screaming and chasing his horse, and I was amazed that I hadn't laughed so happily in a long time.

At the moment, I immediately realized, Huangliang is a dream, why bother to trouble?

When I wake up one day, it's just a love catastrophe, a catastrophe.

It's better to go and see what Manchester City is like.

Many people believe that the Xiongnu were nomadic and did not have settled cities. In fact, the Xiongnu also had people living in the countryside and cities, but their scale was much smaller than that of the Central Plains. The largest of these cities is the ancient city of Ivorga, located in Eastern Siberia. And the head of Manchester City in the future in China is called Baotou City.

I made up my mind, and after resting, I set off for Manchester City.

After walking for a few more days, I finally approached the head of the Huns. At this time, I also pretended to be a woman outside the country, with long braids and short robes, without the slightest coquettishness of a southern daughter.

Although the Xiongnu army suffered a defeat, the lives of ordinary people had to go on, cattle and sheep were still running under the blue sky, and the market was still lively. The Han Chinese, the Xiongnu and people from the Western Regions gathered here, and they were still running for a living.

A blind Hun sat on a street corner, playing a horse-head violin and singing, singing desolate and sad. Some of the people who listened were sad, some smiled slightly, and some sighed softly, threw a penny or two in front of the blind man and hurried away. I stopped and listened to the blind man sing:

"The loss of my Qilian Mountain will make my six animals restless. I have lost my mountains, and my women have no color.

The death of my Qilian Mountain made my six animals restless. I have lost my mountain, so that my wife has no color. ”

This is a folk song that sings Huo Quai. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty set up four counties after Huo Qu's illness conquered Qilian Mountain, namely: Jiuquan County, Zhangye County, Wuwei County and Dunhuang County. These four places were part of the Chinese territory until 2,000 years later. In a sense, Huo Qu's disease has changed the pattern of the world's territory.

Thinking of Huo Quai, the god of war who had no defeat in his life and was lonely and seeking defeat, my heart twitched, how could he be defeated? He is always the victor, whether it is in battle or in people's hearts, he has won completely.

The melancholy in my heart made me unwilling to listen to this sad horse-head qin anymore, so I turned around and walked into an inn to rest. I changed my clothes and wiped my body, and before I could eat dinner, I fell asleep on the kang.

When I woke up the next morning, I felt a splitting headache, my eyes were heavy, I couldn't open them for a long time, my limbs were even more sore, and I couldn't move, just like I was in a nightmare.

I tried to open my mouth to cry, but I couldn't make a sound, and when I opened my eyes, I saw three people lying on the ground. I was taken aback, froze for a long time, calmed down, and slowly struggled to sit up. I saw a person sitting in front of the kang, looking at me with a smile.

I said "Ahhhh "It's Chu Jinmo.

I was relieved and said, "What's going on?" ”

Chu Jinmo smiled and said, "Look who these three are?" ”

I climbed down from the kang, and as soon as my legs went limp, I fell to my knees. Immediately sat back on the ground, stretched out his hand to support him, and saw that the three people on the ground had already died, it was the shopkeeper and his wife and the shopkeeper Er. Said: "You saved my life again?" ”

Chu Jinmo's ancient eyes rippled, and he said, "Why is it always you, yours." Don't be screaming like that. ”

I whispered, "Jinmo! ”

Chu Jinmo was very satisfied, and said with a smile: "Mu Lan, you are a woman, you have to be careful with your diet in the future, if you are with me, you must not fall for this." ”

I wondered, "I gave someone sweat medicine last night?" ”

Chu Jinmo said: "Almost." ”

I thought about it for a moment and said, "Most of the tea is weird, it tastes a little sour, and it tastes a little sweet. Is this a black shop? ”

Chu Jinmo shook his head and said, "This inn was originally white, but after you came in, it turned black." ”

Still with a splitting headache, I reached out and pressed my forehead and said, "I don't understand this." ”

Chu Jinmo said: "Not long after you lived in the hotel, the shopkeeper and his wife saw the fortune with the shopkeeper and changed this white shop to a black shop. Sprinkle a handful of powdered medicine in the teapot and bring it in to you. I avoided seeing that you were changing your clothes, and when I came to see you later, you had already poured tea and drank it. Thankfully, this is only sweat medicine, not poison. ”

"You've been following me all the time?"

Chu Jinmo nodded, "Since you left Chang'an City, I have followed you all the way." Seeing that you hired a carriage and went out of the Han realm, I don't know where you are going. I've been following you all the way to this place. ”

My heart warmed, remembering that he had been by my side every time I was in distress since we were reunited. During this time, I came to Manchester City alone, thinking that I was the only one left in the world, but I didn't expect that he had been guarding me in the dark, and he showed up to save me when I was in trouble.
