Chapter 290: The Virgin
Hunying secretly thought, Su You didn't want my Eagle Clan to increase casualties, which was a good thing, but half of the reason was also because he didn't want to fight with Bihai, in the final analysis, he still had an old relationship with the Southern Regions.
So he smiled and said, "Nephew, I can understand your kindness, but you don't have to worry too much." Wen Lan had already told me about the siege of the city, and he said that the siege would use Rob's 3,000 thunderbolt artillery battalion, and my soldiers only needed to protect the safety of the lord, and they would probably not be transferred to the front line for the time being. ”
Su Youqi said: "Did he really say that? ”
"Yes."
Su You lowered his eyebrows and was silent for a while, figuring out Wen Lan's intentions.
wanted to attack the city, but only sent artillery battalions, obviously not wanting to go head-to-head. It seems that Wen Lan still wants to preserve his strength and prepare for the next battle.
He looked at Hunying, and stopped talking a little, but Hunying saw him and asked, "Nephew can just say whatever he wants." ”
Su Youqiang suppressed the impulse in his heart, finally swallowed back the words, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, since my aunt is guarding me, it can't be more reassuring." It's getting late today, I'll send my aunt out of the account, and tomorrow Wen Lan will start attacking the city. ”
Hunying replied "Okay", remembered something again, and said, "Are you okay raising that little eaglet?" When I go back, my aunt will teach you some ways to falconry, so that it can protect you when it flies in the sky. ”
At the mention of Kitty Hawk, Su You's mood eased a lot. He looked at Hunying carefully, and when he saw Hunying avoid his gaze, he smiled and asked, "Why does my nephew look at me like this?" ”
"I'm thinking...... Does my aunt look like my father? ”
Sometimes, a word can set off countless waves in the heart. Hunying and Chakduo have had a very good relationship since childhood, but later Chakduo went to Dadu and Hunying stayed in the territory of the Eagle Clan, and the two got together less and left more. Chakdo's Mura and Hunying are both famous members of the Eagle Clan, they have been playmates since childhood, and they are familiar with each other, and the love between close friends and biological siblings in this boudoir is now condensed in Su You's body, and Hunying's closeness to him is really natural.
"My aunt looks a lot like your father, but...... You are more like your father. ”
Su You's eyes were red, and he finally couldn't hold back his tears anymore, he hugged Hunying for the first time, leaned on her shoulder and cried bitterly.
"Auntie...... I wondered if I was a calamity. ”
"What?" Hunying didn't understand what he meant for a while.
"Someone once told me that the eldest husband only needs to act according to his own heart, and there is no obstacle in his heart, and the heaven and the earth are harmonious, so there is no need to worry about right and wrong. But these days I'm thinking, what if I was born in this world and was a mistake in itself? ”
"Why do you think that?" Hunying asked in astonishment, "You are the most noble existence in the Imuran Realm, and the descendant of the Khuguer Dahun that our Eagle Clan is most proud of, how could you be a mistake!" ”
Su You sobbed: "Not long after I was born, my parents passed away. Uncle You, who had been teaching me, had also died young, and my uncle and aunt, who had raised me, had now been cut off. Even Xiaoxiao, she came to me ......"
Sadness is like the condensation on the window, once it sticks, it will gather more and more, and merge into a stream of water and go down.
I don't know when Su You's heart seemed to engrave a list, and every name on it was as dark as ashes, fading away. There is no doubt that Zhu's name is the last on this list, and the last straw that crushed his nerves.
He didn't know what he had done wrong in the past, he didn't know what he was supposed to do in the future, he just felt that everyone close to him would eventually leave him or lose their lives. He knew that the misfortune that befell these people was not caused by him, but when the beads were gathered into threads and the water became a puddle, it was difficult for him not to have a thought: maybe he was the source of all the tragedies.
Hunying understood the reason why he blamed the death of his parents on herself, and she had heard the truth about Mu Yunyou's death, but the last name sounded very unfamiliar to her. She reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of Su You's eyes, and asked softly:
"That little ...... Is it someone you like? ”
"Hmm."
"That must be a smart and good boy......" Hunying helped Su You, who was still emotional, and slowly sat down.
"Auntie, do you know why I like that eaglet so much?"
"Aunt guessed...... Do you want Kitty to find someone for you? ”
"My aunt really understands my nephew's thoughts."
Hunying smiled: "No matter how smart my aunt is, I can understand that you always ask your aunt how to make the eagle fly farther and see more carefully." ”
"Yes, Xiao Tong has not been heard from since he lost his trace to find me. Although I am the lord of a nation, I am now like a bird in a cage, and I have no control over myself. The eaglet is different, it has sharp eyes, it can flutter its wings in the sky, maybe it can find it for me...... As long as she's safe, I'll feel better. ”
"If you find her, you can feel like you're not a calamity, aren't you?" Hunying understood a little, she was suddenly greatly moved, stretched out her hand to hold Su You in her arms, stroked his head like a mother and said, "Child, not only do you look exactly like your father, but even the purity and kindness of your heart are very similar to your parents." These days, my aunt sometimes feels that you have become colder, deeper, and even a little less affectionate than before, and she is very worried. Now it seems that you are still the same good boy as before, and my aunt is much more relieved. ”
Su You has never experienced the feeling of leaning on a woman's arms, even to his aunt who was close to him in the past, because of his uncle's strict constraints, he has always treated him politely, and he has never touched his sleeves. Hunying was born in the Eagle Clan, and she was much more informal than ordinary women in the Southern Regions, and she was sincere to him, and the deep affection at this time made Su You really relieved.
Hunying said softly: "Child, do you know? My aunt had also asked Ying'er to find someone for her. Like you, that person is also my aunt's crush. ”
Su You was stunned.
He had heard from He Gui that since Hunying became the patriarch of the Eagle Clan when he was young, he only focused on the affairs of the clan and never married. Naturally, there are no heirs. The people of the clan called Hunying the Eagle Spirit Virgin, which was intended to praise her devotion to the Eagle God. Since he knew that Hunying was alone, he deliberately did not mention relevant topics every time to avoid embarrassment. Unexpectedly, Hunying took the initiative to talk about it today...... It was unexpected.
"No one in the clan knows about this, not even my father...... Oh, even your grandfather, and he didn't know it. ”
Su You nodded, he knew that Hunying didn't want to directly mention her father's name ------ Su Li Country Lord.
"At that time, in order to train me, your grandfather sent me to the foot of Xitai Mountain and ordered me to guard the holy mountain for a year, when I was only sixteen years old." Hunying's tone is gentle and soft, eloquent and beautiful.
"The snow in Xitai Mountain, although it is not big, it accumulates for a long time every year. At that time, every few days, I would personally take a shovel to shovel snow and ice on the Shinto Road in front of the worship of the Eagle God. Our Eagle Clan has a clan law, and this work can only be done by the descendants of the clan who have the bloodline of the Eagle God Warriors, and others are not even allowed to climb Xitai Mountain. Therefore, although I am the daughter of the patriarch, I can't let people do it for me, I have to do it myself. ”
Su You listened quietly, Xitai Mountain would always be a mysterious mountain for him.
"Then one day, before the snow had melted in early spring, I went to shovel the snow as usual, and I took my domesticated eagle with me up the mountain to relieve my boredom. I remember that day, it was a good day after the snow had passed, but the eagle seemed very restless, hovering in the sky and refusing to come down. I was a little strange at first, but I didn't care. When I was halfway through clearing the snow, the eagle landed in a place halfway up the mountain and refused to fly back, and I went over to look and found a man lying there. ”
"Anyone?"
"I was also taken aback at first, because everyone in the Eagle Clan knew that trespassing on Xitai Mountain was a serious crime, and the crime was punishable by death, and no one dared to dare to come to the Holy Mountain with such courage. But when I got closer, I realized that the man was not from my Eagle Clan. ”
"Huh? How can my aunt know? ”
Hunying reached out and touched Su You's face, and said with a smile: "The appearance of our Eagle Clan is always high and straight, with deep eyes, eyebrow bones like mountains, and dark complexion. And the man had a delicate face, fair skin, and was not tall, but he had a heavy beard, and he was not an Eagle Clansman no matter how he looked at it. ”
"I see."
"I saw that he was half frozen to death, but still breathing, and I felt sorry for him, so I rescued him to his lodging at the foot of the mountain. At that time, it was the time of spring hope, and there were not many eagle people guarding the mountain, so I carefully hid him in the house, but no one found him. ”
"What if I found out?"
Hunying's face turned red and said strangely: "My aunt was still a sixteen-year-old girl at that time......"
Su Youden woke up and secretly scolded himself for being stupid, and his face turned red, and he prevaricated with a few "ohs".
"And then?"
Later, I wiped his blood with snow and fed him some warm soup, and finally woke up after half a day. But when he woke up, I realized that I didn't understand a word of what he said. ”
"So, not only is he not from the Eagle Clan, but he is not even from the Imurans?"
Hunying nodded and said, "Yes, he is not from Imuran, and I learned later that he is from the Southern Regions." ”
"People of the South?!" Su You was taken aback.
Most of the people in the Southern Regions refer to the people of Cangwu or Bihai, although there are some small neighboring countries around these two countries, but most of them only live in the countryside and never cross the border. A remote place like Xitai Mountain, a place where neither the Blood Clan nor the Blade Clan would set foot, how could there be people from the Southern Regions? Su You suddenly thought of something and asked:
"So my aunt knows the language of the Southern Regions?"
