The night covers thousands of miles, and in the same darkness, each place has a different loneliness. The Chen family house is located in the corner of the deep alley of Longjin Fang, and the narrow space and high walls make it very difficult to get light; Her house is small and low, and it has been a few years old, and the soot beams and broken wooden windows make the whole space very dark...... It is reminiscent of a haunted house in the story.

At this time, Yulian realized a little benefit of the Chen family's man, Yulian was not so afraid when he was there before. She curled up against the wall, and the more she feared, the more she couldn't sleep.

Do people have ghosts after they die? Yulian's eyes seemed to see the corpse with bloodstained face and godless eyes when she first died. She trembled and whispered into the dark air, "Don't blame me, don't blame me...... I'm wrong, I shouldn't have hoped for you to die, but I didn't kill you, and I didn't be an accomplice! It's all helpless, I really can't stand that kind of life as a woman, if I can't get by, my heart won't be so vicious......"

She kept comforting herself, and finally fell asleep in a daze. After all, this is not the scariest place, and it is in the metropolis of Tokyo; The reason why it is terrifying may be because of the stinky gutter outside the person who has just died.

Yulian thinks that the most frightening place is the place where she grew up as a child, in her dreams.

When I left my hometown, I was still young, but I remember the environment I saw very clearly. The thatched hut with a black and broken wall is darker and more broken than the Chen family house in Tokyo, and it is pitch black outside in the countryside at night, and there is no light in the middle of the night; Behind the house is a barren mountain, and there are many wild graves on the mountain. Yulian still remembers the situation when she was a child and didn't dare to go when she got up at night.

I vaguely remember that my hometown belongs to Gaoping, Hedong. Listening to the old men's chatter, it was said that Gaoping used to be called Changping, that is, near the ancient battlefield of the Changping War between Qin and Zhao a long time ago, it was rumored that Qin General Bai Qi killed 400,000 Zhao soldiers in that land! No wonder the villagers often unintentionally dig up the bones. At that time, Yulian loved to listen to the gossip of adults from all over the world, but she was very scared after listening to it.

Later, she was finally sold to Li Shouzhen's house in Hezhong Prefecture, and she still remembered that the densely populated city, the deep mansion compound with people coming and going, the bright and clean houses, there was never a shortage of lamp oil and candles, and there were lanterns hanging outside at night, and she immediately liked that place. At least at first I thought it was a nice place with a lot of sunshine around the corner.

I don't know how long she slept, but when she opened her eyes, the clear house was gone, and with it was a darkness in reality, and there was a faint smell of grass and wood in the air.

Yulian's eyes widened in the dark, and she didn't dare to hold the lamp, the window was ventilated, and the oil lamp dangling was even more terrifying; Besides, the lights are on in the middle of the night, in case they are seen by others, there may be gossip again. At this time, she felt that her soft chest was lightly rubbed by something, reached out and groped, and found that it was the auspicious charm that she had prayed for in the Taoist temple a few days ago, and she was still wearing a thin rope on her body.

Fu was begged for Brother Shao, it was a few days ago, and there was no murder at that time.

It is said to be very spiritual, and has opened the light in front of the Bodhisattva, and there are people with high Tao who cast spells and draw talismans. The runes are drawn on a piece of red silk, wrapped in a triangle, and can be worn with a rope. Brother Shao said that he would go on an expedition in the near future, and Yulian hoped that he could come back alive from the battlefield, so what else could he help except worship the gods and ask for talismans?

The owner of the Yuzhen Temple was a female Taoist priest, and the Taoist temple was in the city, so it was very popular with women. Yulian was also very interested in inquiring about the origin of the Lord, it is said that she was originally called Jing Niang, many years ago and the forbidden army general Zhao Kuangyin acquaintance, and later because of the injury to see through the red dust, built a Taoist temple in Tokyo to become a monk; Women like this kind of rumor of children's love the most, no wonder the incense of Yuzhenguan is so vigorous.

Yulian rubbed the talisman in her palm, hesitating whether to give it to Brother Shao. Tomorrow morning is the last chance to give, and he will return to camp at dawn.

In her heart, Yulian did not blame Guo Shao for killing her husband, and even quietly expressed gratitude...... Of course, she also looks up to a descendant like Brother Shao, this person is not only brave, but also not a simple-minded reckless man, Yulian thinks that his knowledge is extraordinary, if he is lucky, maybe he can really earn wealth. But he is a young general at the age of eighteen or nineteen, can he really look at a woman who is equivalent to being married three times and cannot have children?

If you behave impatiently, I'm afraid you'll be cheap: your husband's bones are not cold, and you and me are you, you are a frivolous woman with watery poplars, right? Yulian knows very well that if she doesn't have self-respect, then others will look down on her and treat her as an insignificant thing that can be discarded at any time.

If only a few years earlier, when he was still in Li Shouzhen's mansion...... But Brother Shao seemed to be obsessed with the Fu family at that time, and he was even willing to die for her, even if he really let it go now?

God is always unfair. Some people are indeed born to be pampered by others, even if they don't do anything, there will be people who are willing to pay for her. is like the Fu family, born in the noble Xiuwai Huizhong, no matter how many times she has married, she is a fairy in people's hearts.

……

Guo Shao got up early in the morning and opened the back door, and found that a red thing had fallen out of the crack in the door, so he picked it up and observed it carefully for a while, then put away the thing and turned his head to look inside the alley.

…… In accordance with the military order of the Privy Council, the soldiers of the forbidden army gathered in the barracks in advance to report, and two days later they would set out with their troops. Guo Shao rushed to the barracks the day before the deadline.

Although he was only stationed in the military camp for two days, it was really a bit idle for Guo Shao, because he was promoted to the position of the head of the capital and returned to the top ten generals without sitting on the heat; There are only about two dozen people in the fourth team of Pontus, and they are all acquaintances for a long time, so there is nothing to worry about.

He sat on the threshold basking in the sun with a weak look, the spring sun was warm, and the flowers on the pear blossom trees in the yard were budding, and the season was cold and warm, so that people didn't want to move. He does seem lazy when he is fine, as if he has no energy, he doesn't talk much, and he can sit and never stand.

At this moment, a white rabbit came out of nowhere and immediately caught his attention. But he didn't move, just watched intently.

The little white rabbit in the spring is cute but easily frightened, and if she doesn't approach slowly, she will be scared away immediately...... Guo Shao pinched the auspicious charm around his neck and stared at the rabbit with a smile in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, a reckless man rushed over out of nowhere, still wearing heavy armor, and without saying a word, he ran over and pounced on the rabbit. The bulky body "slammed" to the ground, and the rabbit ran away without being caught, but he fell into a mouthful of mud.

"Your mother, Luo Er! Look at your stupidity! Guo Shao scolded.

This guy is called Luo Mengzi, a small soldier in the fourth team, he seems to have fallen and hurt, grinning and getting up, patting the soil and limping and jumping over, taking off the bow on his back and handing it over: "General Guo Shi, shoot that rabbit quickly." ”

Guo Shao took the bow and an arrow, and didn't look left and right where the unfrightened white rabbit was, so he flicked the bowstring casually, and suddenly glared: "Good guy, this has to be a two-stone strong bow, where did it come from?" ”

Luo Mengzi said: "Two days ago, General Guo Shi was not promoted, and the king commanded the reward, and you were not in the barracks. ”

At this moment, I suddenly heard a voice with a bad tone and said: "I don't know if a ten general has the ability to pull it away." ”

Guo Shao and Luo Mengzi looked back and saw Yang Biao and more than a dozen sergeants just walking over carrying a skinned sheep. That Yang Biao is five big and three thick, with a fierce and vicious horse face, but he has a sour taste when he speaks. This guy is now the deputy general of the fourth team, one level lower than Guo Shao, but he was a centurion before, and he doesn't seem to be convinced by an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy like Brother Shao; And yesterday, Guo Shao was re-demoted from the capital to the top ten, and he was innocent and demoted by one level, I'm afraid he didn't look at Guo Shao very well.

In the past two days, the front division of the palace has been very good to the soldiers below, because they are about to go on the expedition, and it is a reward and a pig, sheep, wine and meat to treat the army, and everyone is in a good mood.

"Pull or pull away." Guo Shao replied calmly, and happened to find that the white rabbit just now had run out, pricking up his ears under the eaves across the yard. The sergeants followed his gaze and easily spotted brightly colored rabbits as well. The rabbit was not far away, maybe twenty or thirty paces, but the target was too small. Everyone became more and more expectant, and the crowd sighed.

Guo Shao couldn't get off the stage at this time, so he grabbed a handful of sand from the ground unhurriedly, rubbed it in his hands, and took out his finger sleeves to put them on.

Lazy and slow movements, just like his usual style. But suddenly, he took a sharp breath, and his whole body became full of bone strength, and he drew his bow and arrows, and bent his bow like a full moon. The two-stone strong bow is mostly used for practicing arm strength, and it is almost not used in actual combat, and the bow is pulled like this by him, I am afraid that one more stone can be pulled away!

The tendons on the long and steady fingers have already bulged, and the tendons make a tense sound of "clacking", as if they are about to break, and like the noise produced by the huge twisting force of a catapult, which makes people inexplicably nervous.

Bows and arrows are not firearms, they can be aimed at, but their reliability is a bit nonsense, and it is all up to feeling whether they can shoot or not. From standing still to drawing the bow, every movement is actually aiming, looking for the feeling of the target; This feeling, formed between countless hits or misses, is an intuition that is completely indescribable. Whenever he picked up the bow, this feeling made Guo Shao inexplicably excited, as if facing a girl in love, who had already succeeded, and had some gains and losses in his heart, for fear that she would leave quietly, and he couldn't bear to have any distractions. At this moment, Guo Shao has forgotten whether he is in a modern academy or in the five dynasties and ten kingdoms full of smoke, and there are only arrows in his eyes!

"Bang!" A strong string sound, with the slightest sound of a sharp edge piercing the air, startled the onlookers. In just a moment, many people were infected by Guo Shao's concentration from his eyes to every part of his body, and the sound of strings finally brought them back to reality.

"Good!" Luo Mengzi immediately took the lead in shouting excitedly, no matter whether he shot or not, this strength was enough to convince people.

In response, I saw that the white rabbit had been nailed to the corner, and there was no room for struggle.

Yang Biao's face was surprised and a little embarrassed: "There are two times." ”

Guo Shao's expression relaxed, and he didn't pay attention to the steps given by Yang Biao...... Is this the attitude that should be done to subordinates to superiors? Although Yang Biao was still a centurion not long ago, now he is a squad deputy general! The most important thing for the five dynasties and ten countries is the arrogant soldiers, this is not a place to pay attention to the virtue of humility, forbearance will only make people think that you are a bully, and it is a fun bag. Guo Shao handed the bow to Yang Biao: "You come and try." ”

The atmosphere that had just gotten up was slightly tense again, and everyone set their eyes on the square-faced man.

That Yang Biao is not very old, but his face is black and yellow, and he looks like a battle-hardened person. But not everyone has played the bow and arrow to perfection, and there are very few of them. Just look at his expression, you can see that he obviously has no confidence.

Unexpectedly, this guy turned out to be a hard-mouthed character who would not admit defeat, and immediately said: "It's just accurate archery." ”

Guo Shao sneered: "Don't even dare to try? Then it's better to know some rules. ”

Yang Biao's face suddenly turned red and white, and he couldn't find the words to say, plus the surrounding sergeants laughed, and immediately hated and said: "General Guo's arrows have long eyes, but the arrows on the battle formation are not long-eyed!" ”

What does this mean, the naked threat, to stumble on the battle array?
