In the early winter of 157 in the Qin calendar, Chang'an.
The snow rushed down in the howling north wind, and there was silence between heaven and earth.
In the cold night, a thin figure stood quietly, it was a thin young man, and there was a calmness on his face that did not match his age.
'Resurrection of the soul. Looking at the strange body, Leon thought of this absurd word, although he didn't want to believe it, but the memory of the boy with the same name in his body told him that it was all true.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the troubled times that began with the Yellow Turban Disaster lasted only thirteen years and was pacified by the overlord 'Cao Cao', after which the Great Qin Empire rose, and the Han nation, which had been silent for many years, began the largest military expansion after the era of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty. The strange history that flashed through his mind made Leon frown.
Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves broke through the silence, and he was awakened by a group of black iron horsemen pouring out from the corner of the street, who were draped in black armor and showed only a pair of dark and silent eyes.
Looking at Li Ang, who was looking at him, the black-clothed officer led by him jumped off the horse, and he was a little surprised in his heart, this young man with a calm expression and a faint defensive posture actually gave him a deep and sharp feeling, as if he was the same kind of person as them.
"What's your name?" The black-clothed officer approached Li Ang, but when he saw it clearly, he found that it was a young man from the Han family, with ragged clothes and a little thin.
"Leon." When asked by the oncoming black-clad officer about his name, Leon was silent for a moment, then straightened up and replied loudly.
When he saw the young man respond like a well-trained soldier, the black-clothed officer was a little surprised, and suddenly the strong wind violently blew through the thick clouds, revealing a narrow wolf's tooth moon for half a day, and the cold light came down, the black-clothed officer looked at Li Ang's face, stunned, "You ......" but he was only slightly stunned, he returned to his normal color, took off the cloak on his body, "Put it on?" ”。
"My house is nearby, thank you for the kindness of the general." Looking at the black big coat handed over, Li Ang did not reach out to take it, but bowed his hand and replied.
"Interesting!" The corners of the black-clothed officer's mouth curled slightly, and he put on his big coat again, "You are very similar to my brother." Turning around and jumping on his horse, the black-clothed officer glanced at the still standing Leon, threw down the words, and then rode his horse and whipped, galloping away with the silent knights behind him.
In the dull sound of horses' hooves, thinking of the black-clothed officer's words when he was leaving, Leon shook his head, turned around, and walked into the distance with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Miserable childhood,Withdrawn temperament,Except for a half-blind mother and a seven-year-old sister,There is no one to intersect.,Thinking back to the past of the boy with the same name in the body.,Unconsciously,Leon has arrived at the door of 'home'。 He saw two door panels creaking in the cold wind between the dilapidated yellow low walls, and when he pushed open the hidden door, he smelled blood.
"Qing... Yuan, is... You... Are you back? An old woman struggled to crawl to the door in the snow. Looking at this scene, Li Ang stood still in a daze, when he was very young, his mother was lying in a pool of blood like this, and he could only watch from the sidelines, unable to do anything. So he rushed over and knelt in the snow, picked up the woman, broke into the house, and helped her on the kang, and under the dim candlelight, he saw her clearly, it was a very thin old woman, and the crack on her forehead was constantly dripping with blood, which was shocking.
"Bandages, bandages." Leon muttered to himself in a panic, and he stood up to find something to stop the bleeding, but his clothes were grabbed by the dead.
"Qingyuan." The old woman pulled the corner of her son's clothes, and the anger in her eyes became more and more dim, "Mother is very useless, you and Qingzhi have never worn new clothes when they are so old, Mother wanted to give them to you herself, but there is no chance, Mother is really useless, cough, cough, cough." The old woman choked violently, and her hands grabbed the two unfinished clothes beside her, a black robe and an emerald green dress.
"No, it's not." Li Ang looked at the old woman who was washed white and dressed in clean patched old clothes, and squeezed her hand, "Don't speak, don't speak." ”
"Qingyuan, take care of your sister,......" The old woman suddenly grabbed Li Ang's hand, and her voice became softer and softer.
The old woman died in front of Leon, and he watched his loved ones die again, but he still couldn't do anything, "I'm a useless person, a useless person." He muttered to himself, and sat down weakly, his head down, as if he had lost his soul.
It was a long time before he stood up, "Sister! He suddenly muttered to himself, and then looked at the dead 'mother' beside him, "I will definitely take care of her." He gritted his teeth, his black pupils cold and fierce, and the sound that came out of his throat was like the roar of a wild beast; The residual memory of 'Qing Yuan' in his mind told him that all this could only be done by Zhai Shaoting, a rich son who had seen his sister and was fond of molesting girls.
Leon walked out of the house, he was going to do what he had to do, he was a soldier who licked blood with a knife, so he couldn't do anything but kill, and soon, in the darkness, his figure disappeared.
Snow in the middle of the night, very cold. In the carriage hung with thick felt cloth, a little girl curled up in the corner, while the owner of the carriage, Zhai Shaoting, hummed a little song, squinted his eyes, and was leisurely.
"Young master, what if the old woman has a case?" Ma Shao, who was sitting next to Zhai Shaoting, asked cautiously, he was afraid that if something happened in the future, the Zhai family would let him take the blame.
"What are you afraid of, it's just a servant woman in my family, and she was beaten and beaten, but she hit her on the head." Zhai Shaoting opened his eyes, and his voice was a little displeased.
"Yes, yes." Seeing that his young master was angry, Ma Shao hurriedly nodded yes, "But that kid from the Li family is not easy to mess with, and the young master has to guard against it!" ”
"Well, you're right, that kid is indeed a ruthless person, and it's a trouble to really try to find me." Zhai Shaoting pondered for a moment, then looked at Ma Shao, "You bring some money to his house tomorrow to see the old woman." ”
At this time, the car shook suddenly, and it actually stopped, Zhai Shaoting became angry, "Wen San, you are looking for death, who told you to stop, if you hit the black cavalry camp to patrol the city, the master will go back and pick your skin." He cursed in his mouth and lifted the curtain of the car, but found that Wen San, who was driving the car, trembled like chaff, as if he had seen an evil ghost.
"It's none of my business!" Wen San suddenly shouted, jumped out of the car, and fled for his life.
In the heavy snow, the blood-stained single clothes on Leon's body were blown by the wind, but he didn't realize it, just stood quietly, and his dark pupils showed a fierce light.
"Less... Young master, he... He...! Marsho's teeth, which poked his head out, chattered.
"I'm afraid... What are you afraid of, you go down, give ... Get rid of him for me. Facing those wolf-like fierce eyes, Zhai Shaoting held on and kicked Ma Shao beside him.
Looking at the trembling people who came over, Li Ang greeted him step by step, "What about my sister?" He stared at Marsho and asked coldly.
"In... In the car. Being stared at by that kind of cold gaze like a blade, Ma Shao's legs weakened, fell into the snow, and begged for mercy loudly, "Li Jialang, this is all the young master's idea, it's none of my business, you let me go." ”
"Get out." Leon kicked away Ma Shao, who was kneeling in front of him, and he despised and disdained such a gutless betrayer.
"Yes, yes." Hearing that Li Ang let himself go, Ma Shao got up from the ground and fled in a hurry.
"Ma Shao, you dog, I will pick your skin when I go back." Looking at Ma Shao, who abandoned him, Zhai Shaoting scolded hysterically, and then he looked at Li Ang, who was getting closer and closer, sat down with a butt, and shouted, "Money, money, I'll give you money, I'll give you back your sister, you ......"
It's a pity that before he finished speaking, Li Ang had already interrupted him. "My mother is dead."
"Your mother, my lord fought with you." Seeing that there was no way to live, Zhai Shaoting also let go, he grabbed the horsewhip and whipped it on the horse's buttocks, and under the pain, the two sturdy jujube red horses galloped forward violently and rushed towards Li Ang.
Sideways, Li Ang flashed to the side, got into the car and knocked the red-eyed Zhai Shaoting down, pulled the curtain of the car, and he saw his sister curled up in a corner, "Beast." With a low scolding, Leon picked her up and jumped out of the car.
With a 'boom', the horses that lost control pulled the cart and tumbled into the snow.
Getting up from the snow, Li Ang lowered his head, only to see the little man in his arms with white lips and a pale purple bruise on his immature face, he immediately clenched his fists and looked coldly at Zhai Shaoting who fell in the snow; He rushed over and grabbed the handsome-looking rich boy, his fist raining down.
In the wind and snow, accompanied by a dull sound of fists, Zhai Shaoting was beaten to a dying breath, and only half a breath was left; Looking at the inhuman-shaped face, Li Ang's bloodshot eyes slowly calmed down, he stopped, sat down on the stone steps beside him, looked down at his fist, and his released hand kept shaking, and blood was dripping from his joints.
I don't know how long it took for Leon to raise his head, and then he saw a pair of frightened eyes, and the thin girl was standing in the snow, looking at him with fear. "What else would you do but kill someone?" He buried his head in pain, "How are you going to take care of her?" ”
In the distance, the sound of horses' hooves and noisy human voices suddenly sounded, and Leon stood up, "Brother...", looking at his frightened sister, he wanted to say something, but he only said two words, and he couldn't say it anymore. In the silence, a group of black knights had already rushed over, and Leon's mouth moved, and finally he stood in front of his sister and protected her.
"It's him." After seeing the knight leader's face clearly, Li Ang was stunned, this person was the black-clothed officer he had seen before.
Looking at the messy snow and the figure lying in the snow, the black-clothed officer frowned, and then saw the girl who grabbed the corner of the young man's clothes in front of him at some point, he looked thoughtfully at the night patrol and fast hunting on the other side of the street, and turned his head, "Go and tell those fast catchers, they don't have to worry about this matter." "Wow!" With a low shout, a knight behind him swept out like a wind.
"Come with me." The black-clothed officer said suddenly.
Li Ang hesitated for a moment, then turned around and picked up his sister, who was still a little scared, and looked at the black-clothed officer, "My mother's bones are not cold, please take care of my sister." ”
"You have to come with me, as for your mother's bones, I will send someone to let Jing Zhaoyin collect it for you." The officer in black did not agree.
"Then there will be General Law." Leon didn't know why, he believed that the black-clothed officer in front of him had no ill will towards him, and suddenly he remembered what he said when he first met the black-clothed officer, "You are very similar to my brother." ”
"Put it on!" Stunned, the black-clothed officer's big man came to him again.
"Thank you." Taking the heavy coat, Leon wrapped his sister, and then silently followed the officer, got on his horse with him, and sat down in front of him. Riding on horseback, looking at his sister who was gradually falling asleep in his arms, Li Ang only felt that his body was getting colder and colder, and in the cold wind, he fainted.
Suddenly realized that it was just a young man in a single coat who fell asleep, and the officer in black couldn't help but curse himself for being so careless, and was actually moved by his quiet demeanor, forgetting that he was only a half-grown child after all. Looking at the somewhat faint sky, the black-clothed officer glanced at the two people in his arms, sighed slightly, shook the reins of his horse, and galloped into the distance.
