The sun is scorching, and the sea is calm.

Zhang Mu and Han Yuyan climbed on the boat, weak and weak.

From last night until now, the two of them have not taken a sip of water or eaten a little.

"The sea, it's full of water, but unfortunately you can't drink it." Zhang Mu licked his dry lips, looked at the blue sky and smiled bitterly.

Han Yuyan was in a state of low spirits, sitting on the side of the ship, surrounded by blue waves, and there was not even a figure.

She knew in her heart that if there was no water, under such a high temperature and scorching heat, at most she would survive until the day after tomorrow, and she would definitely die.

Seeing Zhang Mu lying there shaking his head, Han Yuyan couldn't help but say, "It's all this time, you still have the strength to speak." ”

Zhang Mu sat up with difficulty and said, "What are you afraid of?" My life is very hard, and Lord Yama doesn't dare to accept me. ”

"Come on, you met you the first day I knew you? I remember the first time I caught you, you were scared of your scares. Han Yuyan sneered.

"What's that? The eldest husband can bend and stretch, Han Xin has also been humiliated by his crotch, if I was iron-clad at the beginning, I wouldn't know where to be a ghost now. Zhang Mu pouted and said.

When Han Yuyan heard this, she couldn't help but bow her head and ask, "Then in this world, are there really ghosts?" Where will I go when I become a ghost? ”

There was a faint worry in his heart, if he really went to the underworld, how should he face Han Gang?

Zhang Mu smiled: "Where are there ghosts in this world? I didn't see it when I was young, so I believe that there are ghosts for the time being. But after living for so long, there hasn't been a ghost for me to meet. It can be seen that this is all made up by the village girl and the foolish woman who has nothing to do. Not credible. ”

Seeing Han Yuyan's depressed face, Zhang Mu comforted: "Besides, even if you become a ghost, you are also a very amazing female ghost, maybe you will be taken by Lord Yan and take you as a concubine." When the time comes. If you see whoever doesn't like the eye, you will take it. How domineering. ”

Han Yuyan couldn't help but say angrily: "Get out." Who is the concubine of Lord Yama. I, Han Yuyan, will never marry anyone in my life. When I returned to the mainland, I cut my hair, found a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, and went to be my sister-in-law. ”

"Don't make a fuss, if you become a nun, then I will become a monk. It can't be cheaper. Zhang Mu said with a smile.

Han Yuyan was stunned and said, "Isn't there anything to be afraid of in your heart?" ”

Zhang Mu thought for a while and said, "Maybe there is." ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Mu couldn't help but sigh lightly, he had been here for so long. But I still don't feel like I belong here.

I am like a passer-by standing on the street, although there is a home here and someone to worry about, but I always feel that something is missing, I feel like a rootless weed, and I am allowed to play tricks on the wind of fate.

"Don't talk about me, I see you killing people without blinking, don't you have anything in your heart worthy of your awe?" Zhang Mu asked.

Han Yuyan looked at the calm sea in the distance and said, "When I was very young. Around that time, I was just sensible. I don't remember my father, but I remember my mother. I vaguely remember. When I was young, life was pretty good. There are a lot of people in the family. Every day, there are dozens of people who serve me. My mother was very kind, but she always cried. It was small at that time. I don't understand.

Now that I think about it, my mother is a concubine, I'm afraid she is in such a big family. is also tired of white eyes, looking at people's faces everywhere. I remember that winter, it was very cold, just after the New Year, groups of officers and soldiers came to the house, and then our family was locked up in a broken temple, and one pass was more than a month.

During that time, the family members in the ruined temple died of illness, those who were tortured to death, and when we were escorted away, there were more than 100 people in a large family, and there were only 30 left. I was young and didn't know I was being escorted there.

I just walked and walked every day, and when I couldn't walk, my mother carried me on her back. Later, later ....... ”

Speaking of this, Han Yuyan's beautiful eyes couldn't help but burst into tears, and she choked up and said: "Later, one night, I arrived in a desolate place. Several officers and soldiers took advantage of the night to rape the mother. I was next to my mother, and I will always remember what they looked like, and in the early morning, my mother committed suicide by jumping into the river.

The officers and soldiers salvaged the mother's body, rolled it up with a straw mat, and buried it by the river. When the family found out, they clashed with the officers and soldiers, and seven or eight more were killed. The crimson blood stained the earth red. I stood next to the corpses, crying and fainting.

Perhaps those officers and soldiers thought I was dead, so they ignored me, and they escorted my family and continued on their way. By the time I woke up, I was already buried in the snow. It would be cold and hungry, and I didn't know where to go, so I walked in the snow alone, walking, walking, walking.

I remember very vividly that at that time, I was followed by several big dogs, and their eyes were blood-red, and they followed me all the time. I was so scared that I couldn't sleep at night. It was easy to get to a small town and finally met a kind uncle. I thought he was a good man, but who would have thought that he would ask me to marry his stupid son as a child bride.

Their family runs a dye room, and they soak in cold water every day, and sometimes at night, they can't sleep because their legs hurt, and they often wake up crying. Later, when I was drying fabric, I stepped on the dye vat and got it, and I hit my forehead, and I was bleeding.

When the man saw that I was dying, he dragged me down in a donkey cart into the field outside the town, and left me to fend for myself. At that time, I happened to meet a group of hungry and crazy homeless people, and when they saw me, they all surrounded me, and I thought that I would definitely die, and at this time, my father-in-law appeared on horseback.

After he dispersed the exiles, he took Wei all the way north. It wasn't until Shaanxi that I settled down. Over the years, he taught me martial arts and treated me like a daughter. If I had to fear something, I think the only thing I feared in my heart was my father-in-law. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid I'd have died outside that town. It has become a meal for those homeless. ”

"Did you ever look for your family later?" Zhang Mu asked.

At this time, Han Yuyan opened the cuffs, and tested it on her white lotus arm, and a brand mark could be vaguely seen, which was very obvious. It can be vaguely identified as a Shen character on it.

Han Yuyan wiped her tears and said: "This brand is that our family was locked up in a broken temple, for fear that we would be separated during exile, and it was branded by the patriarch for the children with hairpins. When I became an adult, I inquired in many ways and found out that our family used to be the Shen family of Zhouzhuang. ”

When Zhang Mu heard the words of the Shen family in Zhouzhuang, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded, stared at a pair of eyes and asked, "Could it be that the rich rival the country, Zhouzhuang Shen Wansan?" ”

Han Yuyan nodded silently and said: "Zhu Yuanzhang is mean and unkind, my grandfather built the Nanjing city wall for him, and rewarded the three armies, almost all of his family property." As a result, in the end, only one family was ruined. (To be continued......)
