Deng Jian looked at the roast duck that came back from the rescue, and was relieved, then stood up and said angrily: "It's okay for you to let your senior brother not see the world, you almost lost the roast duck, you ...... It's tolerable, it's unbearable, this kind of loss of conscience, you won't cherish the roast duck in the future, the senior brother will cut off your robe and break your righteousness, don't say it is unpredictable. ”

Chen Kaizhi's face did not have the look of shame that Deng Jian expected, but became lonely.

His eyes looked at the moon first, then he looked faintly at the darkness in the distance, and sighed: "Senior brother, it's the fifth day of the fifth month of May. ”

"Huh? What about the fifth day of May? Deng Jian's anger did not subside.

Chen Kaizhi said quietly: "I have a brother who I met today last year, but it's a pity...... It's a matter of fact. ”

Deng Jian glanced at Chen Kai, his face softened, and he couldn't help but say, "Where is he now?" ”

Chen Kaizhi shook his head and said: "I don't know, there has been no news so far, and now I have settled in Beijing, but I don't know what happened to him, whether he is hungry, is it ...... There is no clothing to wear. ”

Chen Kaizhi was melancholy and let out a long breath.

In a sense, except for the teacher. Chen Wou-Ki is the first person in this world to treat him like a relative, and for people in this world, this so-called sworn brother may not be insignificant, but for Chen Kaizhi, it is very important.

At this time, he deliberately pinned his face to the dark place of the moon shadow, so as not to let the wetness in his eyes be seen by Deng Jian, although he knew that the man had tears and did not flick, but maybe it was because he had experienced too much, although he was usually strong, but once he touched the soft piece of his heart, Chen Kaizhi still couldn't help but have the urge to cry.

He sniffed and said, "Okay, let's go back and eat roast duck." ”

"Isn't it uncomfortable?" Deng Jian looked at Chen Kaizhi worriedly.

Chen Kaizhi shook his head and said, "It's just a little sentimental, but it's not uncomfortable." ”

"No conscience." Deng Jian glanced at him, and suddenly remembered the roast duck that he had almost sacrificed just now, and couldn't help but sarcastically say: "If his senior brother is also on the same side as you, most of you will not be uncomfortable." ”

Chen Kaizhi smiled, and his pace was still steady: "No, because I am convinced that he will live well, no matter where he is, what kind of person he becomes, and what kind of experience he will have, one day, he will definitely find me, he will definitely be!" ”

Deng Jian was silent, and couldn't help but sigh.

…………

The Far North.

The cold wind here is many times colder than that of Liaoxi County, the northernmost part of the Northern Yan Kingdom.

Here, splashing water can turn into ice, and here, countless trees, all year round, are covered with snow.

The wind here, like the cry of a pack of wolves, never seems to stop.

And here it is.

At this time, Chen Wou-Ki was locked up in a deep cellar, his body was only wearing clothes that were not thick, which made him can't help but curl up, his eyebrows and eyes have condensed frost, at first, he was still shivering, but later, it seemed that his whole body had stiffened, and even trembling began to weaken.

He just curled up with his head down, and there were still whip marks on his face, and the pain of being whipped in such weather would not know how many times would increase, but what really made him suffer was not the cold and the pain caused by the whipping.

He was hungry.

It's been two days of rice, and my stomach seems to be burning.

He leaned against the wall, knowing that his life was near, and his godless eyes stared blankly at the endless darkness of the cellar.

At this time, a sudden gust of wind and snow rushed in.

The lid of the cellar was opened.

Chen Wou-Ki did not feel joy, but his body trembled, he knew that the coming torture was about to start again.

But this time, it was a woman who came in, and the woman was wearing a tightly covered fur coat, but even so, she seemed to feel cold.

It was a woman of thirty years old, who had a bag in her hand, and waited for the lid of the cellar to be closed, and when the wind and snow were gone, she removed the cotton cover that covered her face.

I saw that she had a beautiful face and an invisible affinity in her expression.

She approached Chen Wou-Ki, smiled kindly at Chen Wou-ki, and opened the baggage: "Are you hungry?" Quick, eat fast. ”

Chen Wuji didn't hesitate at all, he suddenly pounced on the burden like a hungry wolf.

There were only steamed cakes that were as hard as stones in the baggage, but Chen Wuji didn't care at all, he was so hungry that he chewed frantically, the woman handed him a pot of wine, he poured it without hesitation, and suddenly, his body began to become hot.

The woman smiled and said, "Although it is cold and freezing here, the people here will be your brothers and sisters from now on, I ...... You can be your mother from now on, your name is Chen Wou-Ki? It's not a good name, and I think it's time to get a new one. ”

Chen Wuji ate extremely quickly, his stomach felt a little full, and he finally felt better, but at this time, he shook his head and said, "No." ”

He seemed stubborn.

The woman smiled and said: "Hey, you child, you are really stubborn, just a name, in our place, there are several surnames, some people are surnamed Mo, some people are surnamed Zhuang, some people are surnamed Han, some people are surnamed Gongsun, and some people are surnamed Zou, you are here, we are a family, you are no longer the same person you used to be." ”

Chen Wuji still shook his head stubbornly.

"Okay." The woman didn't seem to insist anymore, she touched Chen Wuji's head dotingly, and then said, "Are you cold?" Later, I'll ask someone to bring you a fox fur coat, it's too cold here, although it's already spring, it's summer, but it's still snowy here. She breathed white air from her mouth, which seemed to confirm the bad weather here.

Chen Wou-Ki nodded, and seemed to be a little more kind to this woman.

Then the woman sighed, "I heard that you were punished because you refused to swear to kill all the dogs in the world?" ”

Chen Wuji nodded again.

The woman sighed and said: "All Confucian dogs can be killed, these people are hypocritical, as early as many, many years, at that time, even before the Han Dynasty, these Confucian dogs did everything to lose their conscience, think about it, you must have been deceived by many people in the past, right?" Why do they want to deceive you, those Confucian dogs, don't they keep saying that benevolent people love others? But they only love themselves, so they don't care about you. ”

Chen Wou-Ki nodded again, as if he felt the same way.

With tenderness in her eyes, the woman covered Chen Wuji's hand that was almost cracked, passed some warmth to him, and continued: "In this case, you swear, we are a family, I will be your mother, treat you well, I also had a son in the past...... The woman showed a sad face: "I also had children in the past, but ...... But this place is too bitter and cold, and the child is born, and within a few months, he will be infected with the wind and cold......" In his eyes, a stream of tears fell.

Chen Wuji's eyes also turned red.

The woman looked at Chen Wuji with expectant eyes and said gently, "Then you swear, okay?" ”

Chen Wuji hesitated: "If you swear an oath, do you have to do it?" ”

The woman said angrily and funny: "Of course you have to do it, and if you see any Confucian dog in the future, you must kill it as soon as possible." ”

The next moment, Chen Wouji's melted heart suddenly became hard as iron again: "No, I don't swear. ”

The woman frowned and said, "Why?" ”

"Not every Confucian is a dog, I have a brother ......"

Syllable!

The woman seemed to be angry and uncontrollable, her face suddenly changed, and she slapped Chen Wuji in the face fiercely, directly knocking Chen Wuji to the ground, and then said fiercely: "In this world, all the disciples surnamed Kong are all dog thieves who have lost their conscience!" ”

The woman continued grimly, "If it weren't for these dogs, why would you have slaughtered all of our sons in the first place? Do you know why we are so far away from here that we live like dogs in places like this...... How many people died back then, do you know how many people they killed? If not, I'...... How could I have lost my children, we are here, generation after generation, after hundreds of years, and still here, in order to live, because here, life is better than death. Our only belief is to survive, and one day, we will pass the test and kill all the dogs in the world! ”

"You ......"

She glared at Chen Wuji viciously, her gaze like a fierce she-wolf.

Chen Wuji was so frightened that he hurriedly shrank into a corner, he was just a child, not a bold person.

The woman said sharply, "Do you swear, do you want to ...... Die! ”

Chen Wuji opened his mouth to speak.

The woman's eyes were full of hatred: "Do you know how we will deal with these people who are with dogs? We will skin him, hang him in the snow, and let the wolves slowly eat his flesh. Now, let me ask you again, will you do it? ”

Chen Wuji's body was like a sifting chaff, his teeth were chattering, and he wanted to nod his head, but a figure appeared in his mind, and his eyes suddenly blurred with tears.

He looked timid, but he didn't know where the courage came from: "No, I will never swear, and besides, my brother is not a dog, there is no one better than him in this world, you, no, it is ten you, a hundred you, ten thousand you, one hundred thousand you, less than half of him, I don't want to recognize you as a mother, I have no mother since I was a child, what I think in my dream is how good it would be if I had a mother in this world, but...... I will never recognize you, I already have a brother, my brother, the best man in the world, kill me, skin me, take my bones and feed them to the wolves, come, kill me! ”

The more Chen Wou-Ki spoke, the more excited he became, he desperately tried to untie his placket, and pulled down suddenly, revealing a piece of skin that was already frozen and bruised, he glared at the woman, and gasped: "I will never swear, never!" ”

The woman looked at him, but it was replaced by a strange look.

She was silent, and then, she smiled coldly: "That...... You just go and die. ”
