Descending the mountain, looking at the familiar scenery in front of him, Chen Kaizhi had a feeling of being in a different world.

He glanced back at the Baiyun Peak, which was as high as a sea of clouds, but he walked away quickly without any burden.

Although he learned a lot of things on the mountain, and even reluctantly, the feeling of going down the mountain was pleasant, not because Chen Kaizhi was heartless, but because he was more yearning for the bustling street market, and he would rather listen to the babbling sound of reading.

Although it is noisy, it gives people a sense of steadfastness and belonging.

That day, the pavilion was too quiet, so quiet that it seemed that there were no people, and there was no human voice at all, such tranquility made Chen Kaizhi feel urgent and restless for no reason.

Looking for a familiar road, with a knowing smile on his lips, he returned home.

Until he walked into his bedroom, the first thing he did was to look for the birthmark on his thigh, and he had to take a closer look and study it carefully.

Ay...... After careful identification, it was exactly as described in the book.

Chen Kaizhi's heart was a little confused, and he covered up the birthmark, thinking that the Heavenly Pavilion should not reveal this secret, in this way, he was safe, as for the so-called prince......

If Chen Kaizhi said that it was not uncommon, it was impossible, but he knew that it was too complicated behind it, and it involved the struggle for imperial power, which was by no means something that a small scholar could participate in.

If this birthmark is discovered, let alone wanting to become a human being, it will be a big trouble.

Rather than this, it is better to go down this road of fame.

This time he met the Li family, but Chen Kaizhi had an even greater sense of urgency for fame.

Everything is inferior, only reading is high, this is the words that I added to the stone record, but ...... Isn't this a reflection of yourself?

For people like themselves, without any background and implications, the only way out is to study and gain fame.

In this way, some people dare not be presumptuous, so they will not easily poison themselves.

The beginning of spring next year will be the spring festival, and now it is not far from the spring festival.

Chen Kaizhi didn't dare to slack off.

He studied hard, Deng Jian saw it, and he also knew that the spring was getting closer and closer, so he didn't dare to delay him, so he became tiptoeing at home.

However, Deng Jian seemed to be preoccupied, but he didn't know what was hidden.

Although Chen Kaizhi could feel a little different, he didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Now, in addition to going to the school palace, he went home, went to the Tianren Pavilion several times a month, read books, and discussed knowledge with Yang Biao before going down the mountain.

………………

Just this biting cold northern.

Chen Wuji, who was huddled in the cellar, was already stiff, his face bloodless, and pale as paper.

At this moment, he bit his trembling lip, even though he looked embarrassed, but his delicate face still contained a stubborn and unyielding look.

In the countless days and nights here, in addition to all kinds of abuse, it was this downright cold, so cold that he doubted life.

There is no wind here, but you don't feel the slightest warmth.

Many times, he slept on the floor covered in firewood and grass, and the moment he was about to close his eyes, he thought he would never wake up.

Even, he sometimes silently prayed in his heart that it would be a pleasant thing if he could never open his eyes, because it was too bitter and bitter in the world.

His tears fell quietly, and then dried up on his face, so repeatedly, that the tears that had frozen on his cheeks had piled up into a film, and he was unkempt, but ...... He didn't care about that, he had been unkempt for as long as he could remember, and now he was just back to basics.

So the more he so, the more he missed the fleeting good time, and in that short good time he remembered a simple but warm hut, where he had a brother, who always ordered him to clean his body and put his hair in a bun, and to wear clothes that were not of silk and satin, but which were also spotless.

Then...... He was still reading, and the happiest thing was that under his brother's stern gaze, he recognized him word by word.

In fact, at this time, he no longer has a good piece of flesh and skin on his body, perhaps because of this short-term beauty, he has supported him until now.

Licking his shriveled and bruised lips and swallowing his saliva, he slowly closed his eyes, and he felt that it would be difficult for him to open his eyes when he fell asleep this time.

The corners of his mouth suddenly showed a smile, this is a rare smile, with a bit of warmth, because at this moment, he seems to see a person in front of him, a person who is really good to himself in this world.

His lips pursed, tears filled his eyes, and he couldn't help but want to cry out: "Big brother." ”

Syllable......

At this moment, the door of the cellar opened, and a dazzling light fell in, and the light shone on Chen Wuji's body, lining his body with blue and red bruises, which was extremely shocking.

Maybe it was the reason for the light, or maybe it was the fear factor, the unconscious Chen Wuji actually frowned slightly, and the whole person looked slightly uneasy.

I saw two people wearing jackets and covering their bodies tightly, and the cold wind poured into the already cold cellar at once.

Without hesitation, the two of them lifted Chen Wou-Ki up directly, and then walked out of the silent cellar quickly.

When Chen Wou-Ki woke up again, he found that he was covered in warmth, and for a moment, Chen Wou-Ki thought that he was in a dream, and his face was slightly stunned.

When he looked up, he found himself in a room, which was very elegant, dotted with screens and vases.

He finally realized that he was not dreaming, but because he had seen something that was actually burning in a charcoal basin, a fire......

Flame, at this time, nothing is more precious than fire.

Chen Wuji gasped for breath as he rushed towards the charcoal basin, feeling the heat wave, the heat wave rushing towards his face, as if even his heart had melted.

"It would be nice if it were like this forever." Chen Wuji thought to himself, and there was a faint smile on his delicate face.

And at this time, a voice with a smile came: "How is it, do you like it?" ”

Chen Wuji raised his eyes in shock, it was the woman who brought him food last time.

The woman is wearing a white dress today, which looks extremely dignified and noble, and although the corners of her eyes have given birth to thin fish lines, you can see how wonderful she was when she was young.

Chen Wuji glanced at the woman and quickly lowered his eyes.

Seeing this, the woman smiled kindly and said, "Do you like it?" ”

Chen Wuji hesitated for a moment before moving the corners of his mouth and muttering, "I like it." ”

The woman said, "You can stay here forever, I will be your mother, treat you well, you are here, I will teach you many things, there are tricks, there are yin and yang arts, there are vertical and horizontal arts." If you learn this, you will become a great person in the future, but now, I ask you again, are you willing to swear? ”

Chen Wuji greedily leaned on the charcoal brazier, enjoying the hard-won heat wave, and after glancing at the scorching flame, he said without hesitation: "I don't want to, I don't want to die." ”

This time, the woman's face was not hideous, but smiled lightly and said, "Really? Why are you so stubborn? Think about it, how much suffering and how many times have you suffered in order to make an oath, and you are better off than dead? You're still a child, so why do you suffer like this? ”

Chen Wou-Ki still shook his head stubbornly.

"Why?" The woman's face lowered slightly, and her eyes narrowed slightly, looking directly at Chen Wuji.

This is a child of excellent qualifications, tenacious, able to endure pain and suffering that ordinary people cannot endure, and even adults cannot admit to the pain and suffering, and they cannot bring him to their knees.

And it is said that ...... He can even read and break words.

This is even more impressive.

In this harsh place, inheritance is an extremely important thing, and if you want to reproduce from generation to generation, you must pass it on, and it is not only the bloodline that is inherited, but the most important thing is the thoughts and hatred that are told from generation to generation.

Here, survival is extremely difficult, and people as tenacious as Chen Wuji are rare.

Chen Wuji raised his eyes to meet the woman's indifferent gaze, but he said firmly: "My eldest brother is a Confucian student, I will never kill him, never." ”

The woman raised her eyebrows and sneered, "If you don't kill him, he will come and kill you!" ”

Chen Wuji was silent, and the whole person fell into deep thought, as if he was thinking about something, and after a long time, he gently raised his eyes, looked at the woman, and said solemnly: "Even if he kills me a hundred times, a thousand times, I will never kill him." ”

The woman gasped, shocked, angry, and happy, and for a moment, a hundred emotions were intertwined in her heart.

Because of so much torture and whipping, and now, Chen Wou-Ki looked at her eyes, and the woman knew very well that everything Chen Wou-Ki said was true, and she was convinced that Chen Wou-Ki would do what he said.

What a shocking thing this is, a person at such a young age is so strong.

Such a child is naturally worthy of being cultivated by himself.

The woman said suddenly: "So, except for your brother, all the other dogs can be killed?" ”

Chen Wuji glanced straight at the woman, but nodded very dryly.

The woman turned to joy and said, "Come, come here." ”

Chen Wuji hesitated, not daring to step forward.

The woman stepped forward quickly, grabbed him, and looked at him very carefully, but there was a little sadness, and she said faintly: "If my child is not dead, he will be as old as you...... It's a good boy, and from now on, I'll be your mother, okay? ”

Chen Wou-Ki was silent, and was held in his arms by this woman, who seemed to have touched something, and tears wet Chen Wou-ki's clothes.

"From now on, you are my son!"

"Starting tomorrow, let's learn "And Love" first......"
