The old man sighed and said, "Are those people ordinary people?" They are the soldiers of Hou Suhu of Jizhou, and they are here to catch strong men and fill the army.

Back then, Dan'er and her father were arrested by them. It's been thirteen years, and there is no news of life and death, and nine times out of ten he is no longer alive. ”

"No, I don't want to go!" Dan'er cried bitterly.

The old man stood up tremblingly from the bed and said to Dan'er: "We left the child period, we can only harm him, even if he has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, can he defeat the tens of millions of soldiers of Jizhou Hou?" Those people can't fight ghosts, and they bully our people to top ten.

Now that they have suffered a loss, they will not give up.

Leave early tomorrow morning, go to the song, and make a living there. I heard that the king was going to go north to the ghost side, and he was going to select capable people everywhere.

I see that the child period is talented, far from being a thing in the pool, and when it comes to Chaoge, it may be useful, and then I will take Dan'er away.

I can't afford to live or die at this age, and I can't watch you two children suffer! ”

In the early morning of the second day, Dan'er got up early to prepare clothes for the child, her eyes were red and swollen from crying all night, but she didn't say a word.

Zi Ji saw blood dripping from his heart, and when he was dressed neatly, he hid the Jungle King Saber close to his body. Dan'er went to prepare a water bag of dried meat, put it in a leather bag and handed it to the child.

Ziqi took it and tied it around his waist, wanting to step forward and say goodbye to the old man.

The old man waved his hand without raising his head, "Let's go, don't delay." ”

Ziqi nodded, turned around and walked out.

Dan'er said as low as a mosquito: "I'll send you!" ”

The two of them walked out of the earthen hut and turned one after the other over the col. Dan'er's face was sad, but there was not a single tear, presumably she had dried up crying all night.

Ziqi's face was full of tears, and he said to Dan'er: "Go back."

Dan'er shook her head stubbornly and continued to walk forward without a sound.

has been walking for more than ten miles, and Ziqi wiped his tears. said: "Dan'er, go back, go too far, I don't worry about you going back by yourself." ”

Dan'er threw herself into Ziqi's arms all of a sudden, her shoulders twitched violently, and she couldn't cry anymore.

Ziqi stroked the long hair on the back of Dan'er's head, and said hatefully: "Dan'er, don't worry, I will definitely come to pick you up." ”

Dan'er raised her teary eyes and said, "Remember what you said, if you don't come, I hate you!" ”

After that, he took out the piece of jade dragon jue from his arms, handed it to Ziqi and said, "I didn't entangle it for you, bring this with me, and sell it for some money and grain." "Yulong Jue was put on colorful velvet by Dan'er, and Yingluo was also dropped.

Ziqi took it in his hand and grabbed her hands, "Dan'er, don't worry, I swear, I will definitely come back to pick you up, and I will never fail you in this life and this life." ”

"Let's go back!"

Dan'er shook her head with a resolute face, "No, you go, I'll watch you go." ”

The child was helpless, so he had to turn around and go on the road.

After walking a little way and looking back, Dan'er was still standing in place. After walking a little longer and looking back, Dan'er threw herself in place and beckoned, stopping and stopping until she couldn't see each other.

Ziqi put his hands on his mouth and yelled in the direction of Dan'er: "Dan'er, Dan'er, I'll be back........"

The roar startled countless birds to flutter into the sky, and the shouts echoed in the mountains: "Dan'er, Dan'er, I'll be back........"

"Will be back........"

Xu Ziqi went all the way south to Chaoge.

Thinking of his grandfather's instructions, he didn't dare to take the road, so he had to climb mountains and wade through forests and bamboos. Fortunately, the Jungle King saber has a compass on it, so you won't get lost.

After walking for more than ten days, I came to a maple forest, and the terrain became flat.

On the ground in front of him, there were a few bright red maple leaves, and Ziqi looked up at the green maple leaves on the tree suspiciously, and quickly stepped forward to check, but there were patches of blood.

Further on, there were several corpses of women and children on the ground.

Ziqi's whole body was shocked, and at the end of the maple forest was a village, and thirty or forty black-clothed men were fighting around a group of villagers with long knives and sharp swords. More than a dozen middle-aged people have been wounded, throwing desperately to protect the women and children behind them.

Suddenly, with a "bang", a sharp arrow passed through the chest of a man in black who rushed to the front, which shows that the person who shoots the arrow is born with divine power.

On the earthen roof, two young men with very similar faces stood on the earthen roof. Both were barefoot and draped, and both wore leopard skin shoulders and leopard skin shorts. Each holds a strong bow in his hand, and two of them shoot the bow left and right, and each time someone falls to the ground or is wounded.

As long as the bowstring is one, the attack of the man in black is immediately reduced, and everyone's face shows a look of fear.

The bow in the hand of the man with a beard is half a man's length, and the bow tire is more than twice as thick as another person's bow, which shows the strength of the bow.

Five or six men in black went around to the earthen hut, climbed to the roof and slashed with their swords.

The two archers were just about to fight each other with their bows, but the roof was overwhelmed, and several people stepped on the roof and fell.

The rest of the Tsing Yi people had no scruples and immediately swarmed up. Seeing that the villagers were in a critical situation, Ziqi rushed to the front in a few steps and punched the back of the head of the rearmost man in black.

The man in black fell to the ground in response, and the two men in black next to him waved their long knives and slashed at Ziji.

The sub-stage slid sideways, and two long knives passed by.

Taking advantage of the fact that one of them was not stable, he hit the jaw with a straight punch, and flew out sideways when he landed, falling to the ground.

Another person stabbed Ziqi in the neck with a long knife, and Ziqi turned his head to dodge, grabbing the back of the knife with his right hand. The left palm cut the opponent's right chest, and the man in black was also alert, letting go of the long knife with both hands, grabbing Ziqi's wrist with his left hand, and smashing his right fist at Ziqi's door.

Xu Ziqi crossed his right hand and blocked the punch.

The left palm pushes away the opponent's right elbow and goes up the shoulder, and the opponent can't move with a "throat lock".

Xu Ziqi smiled secretly in his heart, I, the national sanda champion, and the title of wrestling champion of the Universiade are not in vain.

raised his hand to stun the opponent, and saw that the man in black was stunned. I saw that the other party's brown hair was curly, with a high nose and deep eyes.

Could it be an alien invasion?

Ziqi raised the long knife and wiped it on the neck of the man in black, and with a "poof", the man in black sprayed blood wildly and fell down, seeing that he couldn't live. In the sub-period, the long knife was used as a gun, stabbed, picked, smashed, and swept. The tiger rushed in like a pack of wolves.

The archers on the earthen house also sought out the hunting fork from the house.

Seeing this, dozens of villagers became more courageous, and most of the black-clothed men were killed and injured. The remaining five or six men in black scurried south.

The bearded man roared, "Don't run away from them", and the hunting fork in his hand shot out, slamming the last one into the back of the heart, and the dead servant fell to the ground.

Then he picked up the longbow, and when the bowstring sounded, the remaining four people were killed.

The strong man with the beard led the villagers to come around, and pressed his right hand into a fist on his left chest, bowing to Ziqi and thanking him.

The patriarch of the villagers instructed the villagers to bury the dead and treat the wounded, and invited the child into one of the largest wooden houses.

I learned during the neutron period that this village was originally called Chifeng Village, and the village was full of people surnamed Li.

Since ancient times, they have lived here, hunting and raising silkworms for a living, and it has been peaceful for several generations. In recent years, it has often been burned, killed and looted by foreign ghosts.

Xu Ziqi suddenly realized: "It turned out to be a ghost person, no wonder he was born with a high nose and deep eyes." Later generations still debated the race of the ghost side, and they never imagined that one of their own crossings would confirm that the ghost side people are of Eastern European race.

The two people who killed the enemy with the longbow were brothers, and the bearded man was the elder brother named Li Jiao, and the younger brother was called Li Hong. The brothers' parents, wives and sisters were all killed by the ghost people, and they had a deep blood feud. Therefore, killing the enemy regardless of life and death, without mercy.

In the evening, the patriarch set up a banquet for the sub-period, and more than a dozen people with high seniority in the clan were accompanied by Li Jiao and Li Hong brothers.

Xu Ziqi sat at the same table with Li Jiao and Li Hong, kneeling behind the table.

This sitting posture makes the sub-period very uncomfortable, but the sub-period is helpless to follow the local customs.

After the banquet was placed, the patriarch stood up on his seat and raised the three-legged bronze horn (the same sound as the decision), and toasted to the son period Yaoyao, "Thank you for your help during the day, so that the lives of the women and children in the clan can be preserved. ”

Drink it all down.

Xu Ziqi also drank it all, but Jue Rice Wine was not as strong as the liquor of later generations, and the entrance was mellow and soft, and the aftertaste was deep, and he couldn't help but secretly praise the high wine-making technology in ancient times.

Look closely at the three-legged bronze horn pattern in the hand is simple, the workmanship is exquisite, I can't imagine that such a clever thing has been a frequent guest on the table of the well-off, if it is passed down to future generations, it must be worth a lot.

The tableware on the table is all made of pottery, and the color is blue and black and simple.

In addition to game, there are some fruits and vegetables on the table, and the cooking techniques of the Shang Dynasty people have been quite exquisite, such as burning, broiling, cannon, branding, steaming, boiling, bursting, burning, stewing, stewing, boiling, boiling, and soup...... Omnipotent.

After three rounds of drinking, Li Jiao has shown his drunkenness. I saw him with tears in his eyes, holding a wooden chopstick, and singing:

In the past,

The Si people are gone.

Now I think,

Hearts burn......

Li Hong whispered in his ear close to the child: "The eldest brother is generous and bold by nature. Since the misfortune of the family, it has become the way it is now, drinking will be drunk, and every time you get drunk, you will sing. ”

Zi Geng asked sympathetically, "Do ghost people often invade?" Why didn't the royal court send troops to guard the fortress? Li Hong, tell me in detail, I have been in the mountains for many years and know nothing about the outside world. ”

Li Hong said hatefully: "The ghost party is brutal in nature, and he does everything evil to burn, kill and loot everywhere.

During the reign of the twenty-third king and Zizhao, the people called him the first king Wuding. This is a diligent political king, he appoints people on the basis of merit, appoints Fu Shuo (yue), Zu Ji and other virtuous ministers to work hard, the country is strong, and is known as the lord of Zhongxing.

The princess is also a heroine among women, brave and good at fighting, and personally led the soldiers to fight the ghosts, and never dared to step into the Central Plains.

The people loved her very much, and the first king loved her very much, and after her death, the first king was very bitter, and called her Xin, and the people called her a good woman.

Since then, the royal court has declined, although there have been several generations of kings who have tried to work hard like Wu Ding, but with little success.

The ghost side took advantage of the void to enter, and the various departments encroached step by step, and there was no obvious boundary on the border, there was me in the enemy, and I had the enemy, and the dogs and teeth were staggered, and the chaos was like a honeycomb, but it only suffered the people.

There were several generations of mediocrity in the royal court, which made the situation worse, and when it was passed to Zituo, the people called him the first king of Wending.

At this time, Xiqi was stronger than in the past, Xibohou Jili successively conquered Yanjing Zhirong and Yuwu Zhirong, seven years later broke the beginning of the call of Rong, eleven years later defeated the Rong of the Gang disciples, and the territory of Xiqi more than doubled.

King Wending also thought about using troops against the ghost side, but Xiqi became a big problem later.

Ji Li looked down on Wang Cheng and forced the first king Wending to make him a priest, but the first king Wending had no choice but to submit.

But there is no end to people's desires, and since they can't feed him, they have to trick him into the royal city and put him under house arrest. This season is also fierce enough, and he died of hunger strike.

Ji Li's son Ji Chang ascended the throne, although he was not as brave as his father, but he was also a scheming person. In order to win him over, King Wending married his most beautiful and favorite youngest daughter to him, and then turned the conflict into a jade silk.

In addition to Xiqi's worries, Emperor Wending died before he could leave the school.

After Wending's death, Zixian ascended the throne and is the current king of God, King B.

Although the emperor is brave, his luck is not good. In the second year of Emperor Yi, he was defeated by the Zhou tribe. In the third year of Emperor Yi, Kunyi invaded again. Emperor Yi was helpless and sent Nanzhong to lead the army to build Shuofang City to defend against Kunyi.

The various departments of Jianghuai and Dongyi, seeing the decline of the royal court, asked for a piece of the pie.

In the ninth year of Emperor Yi, Wang personally led an expedition to Daoyi and Huaiyi, and was intercepted by Meng Fang (tribal name). After Emperor Yi defeated the Meng side, he united with Youguo's monarch Youhou Xi to attack Huaiyi, and this battle lasted until the fifteenth year of Emperor Yi.

When Di Yi set out on the expedition, he married the princess of Youguo as a concubine and gave birth to four princes, with the same name as you. Because I was fighting everywhere, I couldn't take it with me.

Later, the princess and her son brought their retinue to Wangcheng, but they were scattered by the rebel army on the way, some people said that they were plundered by the Daoyi tribe, and some people said that they were plundered by the ghost people, and there is no whereabouts so far.

In the anger of Emperor Yi, he led his troops to defeat Daoyi and Huaiyi, and then returned to the dynasty.

Now it is the twenty-sixth year of Emperor Yi, and last year the capital was moved to Mo and renamed Zhaoge. Emperor Yi is old, and it is difficult to do anything, and the people are pinning their hopes on the next Shang king.

The king has two concubines and a total of four sons, in addition to the missing sons, there are also the eldest prince Wei Ziqi, the second son Wei Zhongyan, and the third son Zishou. It is not known who will inherit the throne. ”

After listening to it, he sighed in his heart, and he had a preliminary understanding of the royal family.

Li Jiao continued to sing the wine, the singing was high-pitched, poignant and mournful, and everyone at the banquet was moved when they heard it.

The child thought to himself: "In troubled times, people are not as good as dogs." The eldest husband stood up to the sky, and he should hold a three-foot sword to kill demons and eliminate demons, and strive for a peaceful world. ”

Thinking of Dan'er, I couldn't help but be full of grief and indignation, and suddenly remembered Liu Bang's "Song of the Great Wind", and I didn't feel that I was reconciled.

"The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying,

Weijia Hai Nei Xi returned to his homeland,

Ande warriors are guarding the Quartet! ”

Li Jiao's eyes lit up and he generously raised his wine, and said in a loud voice: "I didn't expect Zi Ji to have such a big ambition." If he can kill all the ghosts together, my two brothers are willing to follow the son. "Drink it all.

Xu Ziqi stood up and said arrogantly: "Okay, he will kill thieves on the battlefield one day, we might as well learn from that Taoyuan to live and die together." After saying that, he drank it all and slammed the three-legged bronze horn to the ground.

He was just about to sit down, but he found that everyone around him was looking at him with puzzled faces, and he couldn't help but regret his words. The Taoyuan Rebellion is a matter of the Three Kingdoms period, how can the Shang Dynasty people understand.

Ziqi sat down slowly, and said in a hurry: "I mean that I and the two brothers in Lijiao, although we are not brothers of the same mother, but we can respect the sky as our father, worship the earth as our mother, and become brothers of the opposite sex, and we will be blessed and enjoy hardships together, and live and die together!" ”

Everyone was relieved and agreed.

So Ziqi pulled Li Jiao and Li Hong brothers to the outside of the court surrounded by everyone, and asked the two to kneel side by side with him facing the south.

The three of them bowed three times to the heavens, three to the earth, and three times to the patriarch.

Li Jiao is 22 years old, 19 years old, and Li Hong is 18 years old. So everyone rejoiced and rejoined the table and drank until late at night.

Early the next morning, Ziqi said goodbye to the Li brothers.

Li Hong was quite reluctant, and Li Jiao also persuaded: "Three days later, it will be the annual Silkworm God Festival, so it is better to leave after the festival." "It's hard to be enthusiastic but I have to agree.

When he had nothing to do, he taught some sanda fighting skills to Li Hong in the suburbs. The Li brothers were born in Orion, so they are naturally agile and talented, so they are very fast.

Li Jiao also passed on the skills of archery to Zi Ji. It's just that Li Jiao's strength is heavy, and it is a little difficult to use it in the sub-period, and he has been wheezing like a cow after pulling three full bows. smiled helplessly: "I can't use my brother's bow, I thought I was strong, but when I met my eldest brother, I knew that there was a mountain outside the mountain, and the younger brother was ashamed."

Li Hong gave his bow to Ziqi, and said with a smile: "It's very rare to be able to open three full bows in a row, my brother's bow, ordinary people may not be able to pull it."

The three brothers laughed. In a hurry for three days, the three of them improved their martial arts rapidly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the Silkworm God Festival.

On the day of the Silkworm God Festival, Ziqi was woken up by Li Hong early.

Li Jiao brought a white fine linen dress for the child.

Ziqi smiled and asked, "Why do you have to change into new clothes for the holidays?" ”

Li Jiao said while helping Zi Ji change his clothes: "Of course, our people have been hunting and raising silkworms for generations, and the most feared is the silkworm god. Silk is white, so the ancestors thought that the silkworm god likes white, and the clansmen are still white, and of course they must wear white clothes to worship the silkworm god. ”

Xu Ziqi bowed his head and saw that the clothes were on the right side, the cuffs were narrow, and there was a knee cover in front. The hem hung down to the heel, and because of the wide belt tied around the waist, it looked much taller.

Li Hong was full of praise on the side: "Sure enough, a talent, it is by no means comparable to a peddler's pawn."

After the three brothers finished dressing, they went to worship the silkworm god together with the patriarch and hundreds of clansmen.

The patriarch and the young man carrying the sacrificial animals walked first, followed by the elders of the clan, and finally followed by the women and children of the clan.

The procession walked four or five miles to the outskirts, and the patriarch took the lead and stopped in front of a hundred-year-old mulberry tree. Li Jiao Li Hong and others put the sacrificial animals in front of the tree, and took the lead in attaching themselves to the ground, chanting words in their mouths, and some musicians played music with drums, chimes, pipes, bells, flutes and other musical instruments.

Although it is not as rich as the rhythm of later generations, it is also mysterious and quiet, and has another charm.
