The haze clouds cleared, the moon hung high in the ink sky, and in the second half of the night, the whole mountain finally quieted down, and even the wind was much lighter. Liu Yuzhen and Meng Yuchu stared at the small piece of moonlight the size of a palm at the entrance of the cave, and the two girls were thinking about their own thoughts, and neither of them spoke.

"The warm breeze is warm, the clouds are chasing, and the butterflies on the branches are flying;

Peach blossom water, swimming fish, water mandarin birds pecking feathers;

Qingyun hairpin, Xiao Luo shirt, whose daughter Fu Yaoqin?

Thinking clearly, Guan Shan is far away, can there be a book in his heart?

Sigh the past, the double shadow line under the forest,

At this time, he returned alone by the bridge;

The wind howls, and no one returns;

The birds chirped, the clouds turned into rain, and only the pear blossoms were urged.

The mountains and rivers are wide in other places, how can the green grass in front of the door,

The flowers of the red mansion compete for the fragrance, don't forget the swallow in front of the hall, and look through the ......"

...

Liu Yuzhen sang poignantly and gracefully, letting the tears slide down gently, Meng Yuchu listened silently. After a long time, Meng Yuchu opened his mouth and asked, "Sister, is this your Yan Kingdom's Xiaoqu?" ”

"Sort of, when I was a child, I heard a sister sing it. Her husband went out for a long time and didn't return, leaving her alone at home unrequited love, and later heard that her husband had a concubine outside, and he forgot about her, and died of depression soon after. Woman, this life is not born with us! ”

"Sister, do you accept your fate?" Meng Yuchu suddenly asked.

"What can you do if you don't admit your fate? Can we break free? Liu Yuzhen smiled bitterly and shook her head.

"Actually, I think my sister is very strong, aren't you trying to break free now?" Meng Yuchu flashed a pair of bright eyes, and said in a sincere and firm tone.

"It's useless, even if you escape from a small cage, there will be a bigger cage outside. This world is a world where men fight, and we women are just their appendages! Liu Yuzhen leaned her head against the wall of the cave, staring at the black hole above and looking sad, "Actually, if you think about it, it's not necessarily a bad thing to really do Mrs. Zhai, it's better to linger in the mountains all day long than to be taken advantage of!" ”

"Sister, don't think like that, we finally escaped and can't go back! I've thought about it, when we go down the mountain and find a secluded place, we can be a female celebrity, or we can write letters on behalf of others and live, in short, we will definitely get better! Meng Yuchu imagined, immersed in the vision of the future.

"Okay, my sister is really a child with ideas." Liu Yuzhen couldn't bear to ruin her dream, and responded to her with a light smile. "Isn't my sister going to come home and have a look?" Liu Yuzhen couldn't help but ask.

Meng Yuchu's heart sank instantly, "I sold myself, it was a great shame for my father, he will never see me again..."

"Good sister, you are not doing this out of selfishness, but for your relatives, you are so knowledgeable, I think the Zun will understand you!" Liu Yuzhen took Meng Yuchu's hand and comforted.

"Sister... Thank you..."Meng Yu cried silently. These days, whenever someone hears her life experience, they will only sigh that the world is impermanent, except for Li Fengchao, no one really thinks about her, she is a little woman who has not yet been involved in the world and bears the pressure of betraying the ancestral teachings of the family alone, facing the criticism of others, the inner torment can be imagined, and now when I hear Liu Yuzhen's words, I suddenly poked the most vulnerable place in my heart, and all the emotions burst out at once.

When Meng Yuchu gradually quieted down, Liu Yuzhen helped her wipe away her tears, and said with a smile: "We are really fateful, we can't go back to home, and we will be sisters in the future..."

"Well, sister, we will depend on each other in the future!" Meng Yuchu took Liu Yuzhen's hand and nodded with tears in her eyes.

"Sister, your hands are so cold, are you cold?" Touching Liu Yuzhen's cold fingers, Meng Yuchu asked worriedly.

"Not cold" may be because the heart is colder than the body, or maybe it is because she is used to the temperature of the cave, Liu Yuzhen really can't feel cold.

Meng Yu looked at the moon outside, and estimated that the sky was about to dawn, so he said: "Sister, the moonlight is so good, why don't we leave for the mountain now, maybe those officers and soldiers will come to search the mountain again after dawn." ”

"Okay, let's go now!" Liu Yuzhen stood up as she spoke, but before she could stand firmly, she felt top-heavy, her eyes were black, and she stumbled and sat on the ground.

Meng Yuchu hurriedly went to help, and asked with concern, "Sister, what's wrong with you?" ”

Liu Yuzhen gasped slightly, and replied weakly: "It's okay, maybe I've been sitting for too long, let me slow down." ”

Leaning slightly, Liu Yuzhen slowly fought again, Meng Yuchu held her arm, and the two of them slowly walked towards the outside of the cave.

The moonlight outside is so good, the whole mountain is very clear, the rolling mountains, the layers of tree shadows, if it is summer, what kind of scenery is the green of the mountains! A breeze blew, Liu Yuzhen shivered violently, couldn't help but itch her nose and sneezed, she hurriedly covered her mouth to prevent herself from making a sound. In this silent mountain, making such a noise, I don't know what it will attract.

The two of them supported each other to find the way down the mountain, but fortunately, after the trampling of the large group of people and horses, there were clear traces on the ground, and the way down the mountain was not difficult to find. When passing through Dazhai, the two of them invariably looked back, this once gave them a place to stay, but now they want to find a place that really belongs to them, although the future is very confused, but waiting in place will be more terrifying!

Walking to the Tanpo under the village, the air was filled with this strange smell, giving people a strange and terrifying feeling. Meng Yuchu sniffed, it was... The smell of blood instantly stood up on the hairs all over his body. Liu Yuzhen's sense of smell was not so sensitive because of the cold, but she still noticed Meng Yuchu's abnormality, and hurriedly asked, "Yu'er, what's wrong?" ”

Meng Yuchu didn't want to scare her, so he shook his head and said, "It's nothing... Maybe it's a little cold. ”

The two of them chose a wider road to go down, and after walking for a long time, Liu Yuzhen suddenly felt soft under her feet, looked down, and was so frightened that she almost screamed, it turned out that she stepped on a person's hand. Meng Yuchu was also frightened, and hurriedly helped Liu Yuzhen to hide aside. The two girls stood tremblingly beside them, staring at the person on the ground for a while, and seeing that the person didn't react, they thought that there was a fierce battle here just now, and that person should have died in the battle just now... Thinking of this, the two of them felt furious again, and seeing that the surroundings were still the same, they had the courage to continue walking.

In this peaceful mountain forest on weekdays, there is a strong smell of blood everywhere, and now Liu Yuzhen also smells it. The weapons that could be seen everywhere on the ground glowed with the cold light of the forest, lying there coldly, and those lodging corpses could be touched by walking a few steps. The two girls were already frightened, and they were close together, covering their mouths and noses with one hand, while moving their steps carefully.

Meng Yuchu broke two branches, and one of them took one and pulled it on the ground to explore the way, so as not to touch the corpse on the ground again, and suddenly remembered a small order that he had learned before:

Resignation of father, straddle the horse,

Don't go to your homeland, go to the battlefield;

Good son, spill blood,

Defending the country, famous...

Those conscripted mercenaries, whether voluntarily or forced, will at least think of throwing their uniforms into the field, and the soldiers who have fallen here today, a sword against the enemy, are raised to these ordinary people, are they at ease? Now that he is here, who will remember him except his parents, wife and children? And those people who were forced by life to fall into the grass have ever thought that they were slaughtered by these so-called soldiers who defended their homes and the country just because they wanted a way to live? Now, they have fallen together, I wonder if they will fight together under the Nine Springs?

Meng Yuchu was unexpectedly sad, for these soldiers are not worthy, for these "bandits" unwilling! sang the "Requiem" in a low voice:

At the end of the sword, the anger is gone,

The smoke of gunpowder disperses, and the heart is calm,

A wisp of heroic soul turned into thunder.

The morning breeze rises, comforting my father,

Light rain, wife and children,

May the world be at peace,

See the world as far as it can see. ...

The second half of the night is the coldest time of the night, especially in the mountains, and it is like a cold winter season. Meng Yuchu felt a biting chill, Liu Yuzhen was even more shivering from the cold, and she was frightened all the way, and she could barely walk a few steps before she fell. The two of them stumbled and groped their way down, walking in a cold sweat, panting, just when Liu Yuzhen felt that she was about to be unable to hold on, Meng Yuchu suddenly pointed to the front excitedly and shouted: "Sister, look, there is someone in front!" ”

Through the dense branches, looking up at the sparkling fires, the two girls came to the spirit, supporting each other and running briskly towards the lamp of hope.

When they approached the light, they both noticed something strange at the same time, this was not a wooden house where the hunters rested in the woods, nor a courtyard, but... It's a tent.

Who would set up a tent like this at the foot of this mountain, could it be... Could it be the officers and soldiers who entered the mountain last night? The two girls looked at each other, and with the same horror, they hurriedly turned and ran to the side.

"Who? Hold it! There was a loud shout behind him.

Liu Yuzhen's legs were weak and fell to the ground, and Meng Yuchu also fell to the ground, and when the two raised their heads, they saw two soldiers in armor.
