He knelt on the snow, he was shivering with cold because of his thin clothes, he wrote "Shundian" silently over and over again, and the snow was too heavy, and he wrote intermittently. The newly written words were covered with falling goose feather snow after only a cup of tea. He completely forgot how long he had written, but the fingers that were originally just cold wrote that he couldn't move anymore, and the young man had no choice but to write with his fist.

"Eight out of twenty years, the emperor has fallen. The people are like mourning, three years, and the four seas contain the dense eight sounds....."

The boy had forgotten the hour, and when his grandmother had gone out to bed to look for him because she had waited for him for half a night without seeing him return, she saw the "snowman" in the courtyard, and he still had words in his mouth:

"The emperor said: Kui! Destiny is musical, teaching the son, straight and gentle, wide and chestnut, rigid and non-abusive, simple and not arrogant. Poetry and words, songs and words, sound and harmony. Eight tones are harmonious, incomparable, and gods and men are harmonious. ”

When his grandmother heard the voice, she ran to see him, and when she saw the neat handwriting on the snow, and his face that was red from the cold, she couldn't help but cry.

"Zhan'er, my hard-working Zhan'er! I don't know how to go back to the house when it's cold, so go back to the house with my grandmother. ”

The young man was so energetic that he refused to go back, and continued to write silently. Grandmother turned around and asked Gong E beside her, who the young man had seen today, and Gong E replied that it was Your Majesty. The grandmother, who felt sorry for her grandson, knocked on the door of the emperor in spite of the late night, and the emperor was sleeping soundly in the room of his favorite woman.

The next day, the teenager did not wake up. After another two days, the boy's high fever subsided, and he woke up and saw his father unprecedentedly, the boy got down from the bed and knelt down, and was very grateful that his father could come to see him, and he also said, "Father, Shun Dian's ministers have all memorized it." ”

The boy thought that his father would rejoice, but instead of showing joy, his father said to him with an iron face:

"Ten days later, follow General Huo to Beizhou for training! As long as you can hunt the Wolf King, I will summon you back. ”

Beizhou, the most famous desert in Fuso. And the wolf king, the head of the pack. At that time, the teenager was not yet seven years old.

Hua Qing listened to Xiao Zhan tell this story, and couldn't help but feel sorry for this young man, she asked:

"What happened to this teenager?"

"That young man, with General Huo went to Beizhou, the father who was the emperor instructed General Huo to lead the young man to shoot the wolf king, but he was not called back. So, the boy spent five extremely miserable years in the desert, and five years later, the boy finally shot the wolf king, and by that time, General Huo was already dead. ”

Xiao Zhan closed his eyes, his mind was full of the situation that he was besieged by wolves because of his recklessness, and General Huo, who sacrificed himself to the wolves, roared angrily:

"Your Highness, run!"

But he didn't run, he took up his bow, and the hatred was full.

"Run!"

After he shot the arrow, he saw General Huo, who was rolling on the ground, and General Huo's arm was bitten off by the wolf king, and then the surrounding wolves pounced on it and gnawed it alive. The tears in his eyes kept flowing, but the arrows under him were getting faster and faster, and when the wolves were lying dead on the dunes, he knelt down and walked to the middle of the wolves, picked up the wreckage of General Huo and cried.

Hua Qing heard Xiao Zhan say that General Huo was dead, and after waiting for a long time, Xiao Zhan didn't speak, she looked sideways at the face behind her, and the face above the diagonal was red.

"What's wrong with you?"

"The wind lifted the dust, and the sand got into the eyes. The boy who hunted the wolf king used to be afraid of wolves as well. ”

Hua Qing nodded and said:

"Well, that boy is brave. By the way, the boy's father said that he would call him home when the boy shot the wolf king, and then his father called him home? ”

"It was called, but not that year, but three years later. That year, the grandmother, who doted on the boy, was seriously ill and asked the boy's father to recall the boy. Before leaving, the grandmother begged the boy's father to grant her last wish, saying, "The mistakes of the predecessors should not be borne by the children." Don't banish him again.....'"

Xiao Zhan remembered the last words his grandmother had said to her father before leaving, "Don't exile him again." Her eyes looked at him, and she didn't close her breath. It was a pair of compassionate and loving eyes, but it was finally closed by his father.

Hua Qing listened to the whole story and couldn't help sighing:

"It turns out that there is really such a ruthless father in this world. Alas, although I have not seen my father since I was born, and I don't know if he is still alive in this world, if all fathers in the world are like his father when he was a teenager, then I would rather not. ”

Xiao Zhan smiled bitterly and said:

"What I want to tell you is that the boy was also afraid of wolves back then, but he finally shot the wolf king, although the snake is vicious, but after all, the strength is weak, as long as you find its seven inches, one blow will kill, I hope that one day, you can overcome the fear in your heart, and truly defeat it, just like the original boy."

Hua Qing shook her head and said:

"I can't, I'm a different kind of person than the teenager."

His casual words made Xiao Zhan fall into deep thought. Also, she was originally a different kind of person from him.

The two turned around the mountain pass and saw that the military camp was not far away. Walking along the mountain road in the direction of the barracks, when they reached the entrance of the camp, there was a young man in purple standing under the horse.

After Hua Qing saw the appearance of the young man in purple, she couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

"The Seventh Prince?"

Hua Qing dismounted with Xiao Zhan, and she asked very happily:

"Seventh Prince, why are you here?"

The Seventh Prince just hooked his lips and smiled, but did not answer her, Du Qingyi, the guard behind the Seventh Prince, approached and saluted:

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the Seventh Prince has been ordered by the Lord today to transport medicine and grain and grass to help."

Hua Qing saw that behind the Seventh Prince, there was indeed a carriage, and the carriage was loaded with a lot of supplies, Hua Qing thought, it turns out that this noble young man in purple in front of him is not an idle gentleman, but also a person who can do practical things?

The eyes of the seventh prince wandered on Hua Qing, and for some reason, every time he saw the woman in front of him, his heart would inexplicably surge with joy. And his joy was expressed in a very bright smile on his face, but soon that smile was hidden by himself, he waved his hand, bowed, and walked to the barracks.

Hua Qing thought to herself, why didn't the Seventh Prince answer her every time? Is it because she is humble? She couldn't figure it out, so she asked Xiao Zhan.

"Your Highness, I have met the Seventh Prince three times, but every time he has a good attitude, he just doesn't speak, why is this?"

Xiao Zhan stood still, and when the face that had always been like frost looked at her again, his expression was surprisingly soft. He replied:

"The Seventh Prince, I have never spoken."

"Never spoke? What do you mean? Is he a mute? ”

Xiao Zhan didn't answer, Hua Qing knew that she had lost her words, and hurriedly covered her mouth. Her exposed eyes were big and bright, their eyes were deep, sparkling, and blinking, originally the prince himself was dumb is a secret and a taboo, Xiao Zhan was a little resistant when he heard her rhetorical question, but after seeing her lovely demeanor, he completely forgot his previous displeasure.

Seeing Xiao Zhan bowing his head and heading towards the camp tent, Hua Qing had no choice but to walk back to the kitchen of the barracks with the herbs with a stomach full of questions.

As soon as I entered the inside, I saw Sakurabuki and Lady Oniface standing facing each other. When Sakura Fukiyuki saw her, he took the basket from her hand and said to her:

"Anu, leave it to me here, you go and take care of the patient for me."

Sakura Fuxue signaled Hua Qing to go quickly, Hua Qing looked up to see the woman wearing a silver mask and scorched hair, for some reason, in addition to a fear of accidents in her heart, there was also a little indescribable similar to wanting to get close to her feelings, a very ugly woman, so that she wanted to get close to her but was afraid, she didn't know what was wrong with her.

At this time, Sister Xue ordered her to take care of the patient, so she had to nod her head and turn around.

After Hua Qing left, Mrs. Ghost Face asked Xiang Sakura to blow the snow.

"Where did you come from with this Anu you are talking about?"

"She was brought back from the Central Plains by Her Highness."

Lady Ghostface pondered slightly.

Sakura Fukiyuki turned around and put the big green leaf into the sink to wash, I wanted to avoid answering, but just when I reached out to rub the big green leaf, a green hand suddenly choked her, she looked up, and the ghost face lady wearing a silver mask stared at her, and there was no joy in her voice, and said:

"Tell me everything you know about Anu."

Sakura Fukiyuki was surprised, she couldn't understand why her master was interested in Anu, too, her master's eyes did look like there was a story, but she didn't want to ask, so she had to answer truthfully:

"I didn't see Anu very often, the first time I saw her was at the inn, and she was unconscious. The second time I saw her was when Her Highness was in distress, she saved Her Highness, she was in a hurry to get out of the customs but got lost, so we brought her back. As for the rest, I don't know. ”

"Why did she fall unconscious when she was at the inn?"

"We're stunned."

"Why did she find you? Why did you stun her? ”

Sakura Blowing Snow because she doesn't know what her master's actual intentions are, but her master's ruthlessness is well-known in the industry, and the people who are generally interested in the master end up with nothing more than death, although she minds the existence of Anu very much, because she feels that Xiao Zhan's attitude towards Anu is different from others, but from the bottom of her heart, she doesn't want Anu to be killed by her master, because of this selfishness, so half of the words are left in half.

"She may have broken into the wrong room by mistake, we were in the southern border of the Central Plains at the time, and she was naturally not our friend when she came uninvited, so Du You and I combined to stun her. Master, is there anything wrong with Anu? ”

Mrs. Ghostface didn't answer, her heart was full of contradictions, before this girl named Anu appeared, she sealed herself well, thinking that she was hard-hearted, cold as a cold river, and unfazed. But Anu's appearance tells her that some things can't be a thing of the past, some memories are not touched, it just stays in a quiet corner, but once the wind blows, it's a tsunami.

Sakura Fukiyuki scooped up the washed big green leaves, and when she turned back, Lady Oniface had disappeared silently. Her master, as expected, is still the same as before, coming and going without a trace.
