Chapter XII

"So please start with a brief introduction of yourself. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

Xiao Nan stood upright beside Miss Tuoba and said to Li Wuyan with a kind face. As for our eldest lady Tuoba, she was very unladylike with Erlang's legs crossed, leaning back on the chair and looking at Li Wuyan with interest on her face.

Li Wuyan stood in front of them, his head bowed, his hands constantly buttoning his nails behind him, looking quite cramped. There is no way to do it, as soon as he took a shower, he was inexplicably brought to this room by Xiao Nan, and as soon as he came in, he saw all kinds of messy weapons such as swords, guns, shields, and bows hanging on the wall, and Li Wuyan's legs were weak. Now that he asked himself to answer the question, Li Wuyan was afraid that if he accidentally answered wrong, he would be directly cut by the eldest lady in front of him with a knife. He didn't expect that the first time he entered the girl's boudoir, he would suddenly have such a difficult feeling, and the feeling of a good rabbit bumping into him? Li Wuyan really hates those storytellers who are full of nonsense now.

Miss Tuoba looked at Li Wuyan who was still squirming there, a little impatient, and glanced at Xiao Nan. Xiao Nan coughed vigorously twice, Li Wuyan raised his head and stood there stupidly, this time Xiao Nan was also a little dissatisfied, she stared at Li Wuyan with wide eyes and said, "The eldest lady is asking you, are you dumb?" Why not answer? ā€

Li Wuyan scratched his head and said in an uncertain tone: "Uh, my name is Li Wuyan, I am from Qingzhou, a native of the Dayan Dynasty, and I don't know what to say about the others, is this okay?" ā€

Xiao Nan bent down slightly and whispered what Li Wuyan said to Miss Tuoba. Miss Tuoba thought for a while, then approached Xiao Nan and whispered something. Xiao Nan nodded respectfully at her, then straightened up and asked Li Wuyan, "The eldest lady asked you how your family situation is, whether your parents are alive or not, what do you do, and whether you are married?" If so, the eldest lady can consider taking her with her. ā€

When Li Wuyan heard this, he lowered his head and began to play with his fingers, Xiao Nan stepped forward in anger and pinched his ears hard. Li Wuyan hurriedly replied quickly after being in pain: "The fisherman was born, his parents died, and he has not yet married, okay?" It hurts, it hurts, you let it go, my ears haven't gotten off yet. ā€

Xiao Nan clapped his hands in relief, made a grimace at Li Wuyan again, and said, "Toast and don't eat and drink, wouldn't it be good for you stupid to answer earlier?" Really, a waste of time. ā€

Li Wuyan rubbed his ears there aggrievedly, while Xiao Nan continued to pass the word to Miss Tuoba. Miss Tuoba nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Li Wuyan, "Ni Wuyan? ā€

"Uh, it's Li Wuyan, Li." Li Wuyan specially emphasized the pronunciation of the word Li, and the eldest lady tilted her head and thought for a while, and said again: "You Wuyan? ā€

Li Wuyan estimated that the eldest lady didn't understand what he just said, so he first said "ni", and then shook his head, indicating that it was not this pronunciation; He said "li" again, and then nodded happily, indicating that this pronunciation is correct. Miss Tuoba clapped her hands with a sudden realization, and then said to Li Wuyan with a smile: "You Wuyan! ā€

Xiao Nan couldn't straighten up with a smile on the side, Li Wuyan glanced at her helplessly, she straightened her expression, approached the eldest lady and began to correct her pronunciation. Miss Tuoba frowned and spent a long time on the "ni" and "ni" sounds, and finally reluctantly made the sound of "li". Xiao Nan nodded at her happily, this Miss Tuoba was very excited, and hurriedly turned to Li Wuyan and said, "You Wuyan!" ā€

Yes, you have no Yan and you have no Yan, Li Wuyan doesn't want to continue to waste time on this issue, Xiao Nan also shook his head and smiled bitterly beside him, only Miss Tuoba thought she was right, and said a few words in the triumphant "You Wuyan" and "You Wuyan", and then said a bunch of unintelligible words.

Li Wuyan looked at Xiao Nan suspiciously, Xiao Nan smiled and explained to him: "Miss said that she finished asking, if you have anything you want to ask, she can answer you." ā€

Want to ask? That's too much, Li Wuyan couldn't wait to say: "I want to know why the eldest lady saved me, can you help me relay it?" ā€

Xiao Nan conveyed Li Wuyan's meaning to the eldest lady of Tuoba, and the eldest lady thought about it, and began to talk as if no one was around, and Xiao Nan acted as a simultaneous translator.

"The eldest lady said, the matter of saving you is all done under the guidance of the Buddha. Before, the eldest lady went to the temple to pray for her wife, and the monk there told her that as long as she did a lot of good deeds, blessings would come to her, so the eldest lady decided to do good deeds every day in the future. But she didn't have a chance to do anything good after she left the temple until you appeared in front of her. It's really a coincidence, if the eldest lady hadn't gone a long way, she wouldn't have met you. Therefore, she felt that this must be the guidance of the Buddha, so she rescued you. ā€

"That's right." Li Wuyan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after hearing Miss Tuoba's answer. To be honest, he had always thought that the Tuoba family had something wrong to save him, and even he wondered if this group of barbaric Shasha people was going to use him as a living sacrifice or something, but it turned out to be just an ordinary lady doing good, so it would be easy to do.

Li Wuyan bowed to her, after all, the other party was his savior, and he could only express his gratitude like this now. Miss Tuoba personally stepped forward to help him up, and said a lot of words to him with a face full of piety, Xiao Nan explained on the side,

"The eldest lady said that you don't have to thank her, if you want to thank the Buddha, thank the Buddha, all this is the guidance of the Buddha. It was the Buddha who let you meet her, and it killed you; It was also the Buddha who asked her to meet you and find such a good person. The eldest lady originally planned to let you go when she arrived in Dunhuang, but she didn't expect ......"

"Wait......" Li Wuyan interrupted Miss Tuoba's monologue. Xiao Nan glared at him, as if to tell him how inappropriate it was to do so. But Li Wuyan didn't want to care about this now, because he had just heard something very important. He asked Xiao Nan with an incredulous face, "The eldest lady just said that she originally wanted to let me go?" ā€

Xiao Nan relayed what Li Wuyan meant, Miss Tuoba tilted her head, and said a lot of things to Xiao Nan, and then Xiao Nan said to Li Wuyan: "Yes, the eldest lady said that she originally wanted to let you go, but the perseverance and willpower you showed that night moved the eldest lady, so she decided to keep someone as good as you by her side." ā€

Li Wuyan still didn't want to believe it, he opened his mouth wide and asked, "Since you want to let me go, why do you look at me so strictly?" ā€

"The eldest lady said, the grassland is very unsafe, if you run around at will, it is easy to have another accident, she wants to save your life instead of saving you overnight, so she is optimistic about you. When you arrive in Dunhuang, she will prepare enough dry food and mounts for you, and you will be able to leave safely. ā€

"Aha, then I don't want dry food and mounts, let me leave now."

"The eldest lady said no, these are all the Buddha's guidance, and she can't go against the Buddha's wishes."

"But the Buddha gave me a dream yesterday, and he asked me to express my gratitude to the eldest lady and leave here."

"The eldest lady said that you have never been to the Great Tibetan Temple, how could the Buddha give you a dream? That must be a false Buddha, and he wants to harm you. ā€

"Miss, I'm not what you think, I'm very weak in willpower, and I'm not cowardly. You'd better let me go, a wasted person, I'm not worthy of the Tuoba family. ā€

"The eldest lady said, since you are so bad, then go and pick the toilet, the toilet of the Tuoba family is not so noble, it is very suitable for people like you to pick."

"Xiao Nan, don't lie to me, the eldest lady didn't open her mouth, why did it become what she said?"

Xiao Nan looked at Li Wuyan's angry appearance, and couldn't help but stick out his tongue. Miss Tuoba looked at these two people in confusion, and she didn't have to participate, and she was a little anxious. She grabbed Xiao Nan's skirt hard and said something, but Xiao Nan bent down with a smile and explained to her. The more Miss Tuoba listened, the happier she became, and finally stepped forward, stretched out her hand and touched Li Wuyan's chest, and kept muttering something on her lips.

Li Wuyan was now 100% sure that Xiao Nan definitely hadn't relayed his true thoughts just now, but seeing the pious look on the eldest lady's face, he couldn't bear to disturb her out of his voice. After this strange ceremony was over, the eldest lady smiled at Li Wuyan, and then ordered Xiao Nan to send Li Wuyan out.

Li Wuyan held back a stomach and wanted to ask Xiao Nan, but as soon as he walked out of the door, Xiao Nan opened his mouth first. She looked at Li Wuyan, who was a little dumbfounded, and explained with a smile: "That action just now was the eldest lady swearing to the ancestors that she would never abandon you, expressing her loyalty to accept you."

"No, that's a big mistake, you're ......."

"Okay, okay, I know what you're trying to say." Xiao Nan interrupted Li Wuyan's words. She crossed her waist and said helplessly: "Do you want me to convey what you said to the eldest lady word for word?" What if you upset her? Don't kick your nose and forget whose territory this is, if the eldest lady is really angry and wants to kill you, it will only be a matter of a sentence or two, and no one will help you collect the body at that time. ā€

"I know you may be right, but ......" Li Wuyan scratched his hair vigorously and said a little rudely, "Not a single good thing has happened since I left the house, God seems to be playing a big joke on me." My mind is messed up right now, and there are a lot of things I don't know how to express, but I still think it's ...... This thing...... Forget it, you just think what I just said was a fart, I'll think about it alone. Oh yes, and thank you for helping me so much today."

Li Wuyan said the last few words quite sincerely, and even bowed slightly, but they were so harsh in Xiao Nan's ears. Li Wuyan didn't notice Xiao Nan's last dejected expression, he just lowered his head and walked straight back to his room.

Lying on the soft sheets, Li Wuyan began to think back to everything that had happened to him in the past few months. First met Yueyue, spent the happiest month of his life, then chose to join the army, and then there were countless disasters - betrayal, capture, inhumane treatment, killing people with his own hands, and finally becoming a slave of aliens. There seemed to be a big hand behind him, constantly playing with him. What went wrong? By the way, it starts from the day you choose to join the army. Does that mean that he brought everything on himself?

Li Wuyan suddenly laughed, he found that it was really right, everything was brought on by himself. Fan Zhutou stopped him many times, but he still chose to join the army. Did fate force him then? No, fate just let Yueyue appear by his side. Then does he regret that fate made Yueyue appear? No, he doesn't regret it.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a lot more relaxed all over his body. He took out the red hairband that had been with him for two months from his bosom, and after so much ordeal, the red hairband had long since become tattered. He searched around the room but couldn't find anything to cut, so he had no choice but to tear off the broken part of the red hair band, leaving behind a small irregularly shaped red cloth band. Li Wuyan reluctantly tied it to the little finger of his left hand, flipped his palm and looked at it many times, and it felt okay, so be it.

Since chasing the illusion of ethereal nothingness is his choice, why complain about it now? Li Wuyan finally made up his mind and decided to face all this well.
