The swaying camel bells, the sweaty BMWs, the ancient city above the oasis...... There is also the Great Wall, which guards the prosperity of the Great Wall, and seeing it standing from afar can make long-distance travelers feel at ease.

The young man who was fascinated by this gave up his career and spent ten years as a member of the Great Wall Guards.

In the ten years since I left my hometown of Chang'an, my hand that once held a pen was full of calluses.

I drank the wine of farewell with the high-spirited poet, and I also dug up the petals and scales from the desert and carefully cultivated them.

He became more and more convinced that the Great Wall was the fetters and destination of his life.

At that time, business travel to and from the Great Wall was frequent, but small-scale disputes often occurred.

Su Lie proposed to the generals of other countries on the border to abandon the fighting.

The other party heard of his generosity, trusted this sincerity and gladly accepted it, and both removed the guard.

Since then, the border people can hold a fixed day to exchange information about the city, and in those years, the Great Wall was full of animal husbandry inside and outside the wilderness, and it was especially prosperous like the Guannai.

Until the misfortune that made him regret it for the rest of his life happened.

The secret order stamped with the vermilion seal, in an unquestionable tone, questioned the opening of the city as an act of collaboration with the enemy, and ordered him to atone for his crimes.

Su Lie was puzzled and indignant, and several letters of protest were written in a row, all of which were lost in the sea.

On the contrary, the secret order that urges the action is pressing.

The overseers who were greedy for merit could not wait, and privately led their entourage to attack the people of the Gobi who participated in Guanshi, so as to take credit for their success.

It was too late for Su Lie to rush to the market, leaving ruins and smoke in the once bustling market.

Deep pain and guilt burn the soul - especially when I heard that the whereabouts of the other party's generals who had signed the treaty in the past were unknown.

There is no doubt that the attack shattered long-standing trust, and the atmosphere on both sides of the Great Wall suddenly became tense.

And the large number of military merit rewards on the peak, Ming Huanghuang laughed at his old-fashionedness, making him like a man.

Betraying trust.

Failing to live up to the expectations of peace.

It's your own fault.

With irrepressible remorse, finally, in the battle of the desert horse thieves attacking the border cities of the empire, Su Lie, who was ordered to help, stood in front of the crumbling city gate, the steel knife had already been curled, and in the face of the swarming enemy, he roared and waved the thick support wood to meet the attack.

It is necessary to atone for sins, even with life.

The body fell with a bang.

I don't know how long it took, Su Lie woke up from a coma.

A group of homeless people cobbled together what little food they could to save his life.

"Is it the Guards?"

The dusty child was full of curiosity: "When I grow up, I want to join too." Standing on top of the Great Wall......"

He assumed a sword-dancing pose.

"No,...... You've made a mistake......

Su Lie struggled to squeeze a few words out of his throat.

The inner voice is shouting...... Why is he still alive, he didn't protect the things he cherished and longed for since he was a teenager, and he had to live with shame.

Myself...... Undeserved to have this name!

From this day on, the children of the former family, the fierce generals of the Great Wall Guards, completely abandoned everything.

He mingled with the homeless people and became a leader, teaching them to read, write, hunt and farm, and even martial arts.

When turmoil and conflict occur, the burly figure with his ragged companion appears unexpectedly to rescue people in need.

Occasionally, under the moonlight, he would think of the glass of wine that he said goodbye to his friends, and think of Chang'an, who may never go back in this life.

It was His Atonement.

Su Lie, I'm afraid that he has long been forgotten by the world as a member of the victims.

But fate is always unexpected, always connecting the bonds between Su Lie and the Great Wall.

The appearance of the crimson figure categorically ended his self-exile.

"You, aren't you the Great Wall Guard?"

"I'm not qualified."

"Shouldn't that be more like a guard, and take on the responsibilities that should be shouldered?"

She said. "At least try to figure out the true face of the main messenger who issued the secret order for the attack back then!"

The broad palm clenched suddenly.

In the distant twilight, the undulating Great Wall stands proudly, just like the first glance it saw more than ten years ago.

The Great Wall is here, and the hometown is there.

In the Great Wall Guards, humans are not the only ones.

Mixed race of humans and demons, two brothers in Baili.

Hundred miles to keep the promise, height 182, life motto: no matter when and where, will abide by the agreement.

He was the most accurate sniper in the Guard, reliable rear cover, but no one knew that the quiet eyes that locked on the target often looked into the distance with longing;

He is recognized by everyone as an excellent cook, but only he knows that the cooking skill was learned when he was a child in order to take care of his younger brother.

When he was a child, a horse thief raid separated him from his younger brother Xuan Ce, and the boy who blamed himself for breaking the covenant changed his name to keep the promise, and waited for his reunion with his brother while guarding the Great Wall.

"I'll take care of my mother and brother."

When his father lay dying under the Great Wall, the boy trembled and took the gun.

"I will always protect my brother."

On her deathbed, the mother did her best to clasp the hands of her two sons together, and the boy made a firm commitment to manhood.

Two children without a father and a mother live tenaciously in a town on the bank of the Great Wall.

The boy took his younger brother and made a living doing odd jobs.

The opening of the market is the most lively day for people, and merchants and goods gather from all directions.

The young man shuttled through it, his eyes were quick, his smiling face was welcome, and the merchants were willing to take care of him, and generously gave more bounties.

In his spare time, the elder brother would entrust his younger brother to a kind neighbor and go out hunting alone.

He is familiar with all the abundant water and grass near and far, whether it is wild antelope or wild goose, which eventually becomes prey and returns with a full load.

The only thing that bothers me is probably how to teach my younger brother.

The teenager will listen carefully to the mother's teaching of his three grandchildren, will work hard to learn the cooking skills so that the picky eater does not delay the growth of the body, will carve wooden figures and dolls for the younger brother, and even challenge the skills of sewing clothes that are more difficult than shooting prey 100 meters away.

But the younger brother who lost his parents but was well taken care of by his brother gradually grew into a sensitive and timid child.

Afraid of thunder, afraid of ridicule, afraid of talking to strangers, and even afraid to tell his brother, the children will also reject and provoke the demon seed hybrid.

On the day the boy returned from his first hunting trip, his younger brother sat pitifully on the threshold of the house, his eyes swollen like peaches.

"Xuan Ce, I'm back. We've got a big dinner tonight. ”

The boy did not throw himself into his arms as expected, but ran out violently.

"Xuan Ce!"

The people on the road turned back in amazement as the boy who ran fast on his short legs and the boy who shouted after him passed half the town.

The boy threw himself on the mound of artemisia grass.

That's where my parents sleep.

"Even my brother has left me!" He tried his best to complain angrily, but he looked so pitiful.
