The ancient road of blue bricks, the four fields are desolate.

Su Jiu stood on the carriage coldly, "Lu Zhi, do you think the war is fun?" ”

The cold wind was bleak, and the young man didn't even have pants left, and he was embarrassed to be protected on the ground by Changsheng, who also had no pants left.

Both the master and servant were weak and shivering.

He sneezed, his eyes were full of coldness and darkness, but his mouth said stubbornly: "The battle between great powers has always been like this. You and I are ordinary people, how can we disobey the way of the world? ”

Su Jiu narrowed his eyes.

Yes, he still looks like he is dead and unrepentant.

Without saying anything, she took two spare sets of clothes and threw them to them.

This time he came out in a hurry, and Lu Zhi had no experience in going far away, so he only brought countless gold, silver, pearls, and shells, and did not bring clothes.

So what Su Jiu threw to him was his own change of dress.

Lu Zhi sat back in the carriage and said nothing with a black face.

He wears a long jacket with a standing collar embroidered with peonies in pearl white, a horse face with a blue color woven gold moire, and a pair of satin embroidered shoes on his feet.

It's just because of his thin posture, Su Jiu's dress is just right for him!

He has fair skin, a clear and beautiful complexion, a little cinnabar mole between his eyebrows, and an indescribable charm when he lowers his eyes.

Su Ran and Li Mu wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, so they held back very hard.

Su Jiu also couldn't help laughing, but he was afraid that this guy would be completely annoyed, so he turned his head on the pretext of watching the scenery outside the window, and bit his lip so that he didn't let himself laugh.

After walking for an hour, Lu Zhi finally said coldly: "If you want to laugh, laugh, what's the big deal?" When I get to the front town, I'll buy a new dress! ”

He was so annoyed that he didn't choose to say anything for a while, and mistakenly said that "new clothes" was "new skirts".

Su Jiu and the three of them finally couldn't hold it back, and hugged their stomachs and laughed.

Lu Zhi lost all his face, and simply sat outside the carriage with Changsheng.

However, the war affected so many towns that all the cities refused to accept passers-by along the way, lest they be disturbed by the influx of refugees.

They had to eat and sleep in the open, and occasionally met some tea sheds and were lucky, sometimes they walked for three or five days in a row, not to mention the tea sheds, there were no even wild fruit trees, so they could only rely on Li Mu to catch fish and rabbits, and Su wine to dig wild vegetables and cook soup to survive.

Half a month later, they finally arrived at the border of the ghost prison.

The war is raging here, and there are yellow-faced and skinny refugees everywhere.

The good city was affected by the war, the houses were broken and the pavilions collapsed, Mo said that Lu Zhi wanted to buy clothes, even if he had a thousand gold in his arms, he might not be able to buy warm clothes and cakes.

They were much thinner, and one evening they rushed to a city, where they planned to rest for the night.

Su Jiu looked up at the building sign hanging on the city wall, the handwriting was stained red with blood, but the word "Xicheng" was faintly inscribed.

Her heart felt like it had been hit with a blunt object, and it hurt so badly!

She clearly remembered that Mr. Jiang Buyu, as well as Jiang Yanqi and Jiang Yanzhi, sacrificed their lives for the country here.

The girl's eyes were red, and she suddenly took Ran Ran and Li Mu together, and said softly: "Let's go to the city tower to have a look." ”

Lu Zhi and Changsheng naturally followed all the way.

Stepping on the tower and looking around, the entire city was looted, and there was not half a living figure as far as the eye could see.

Lu Zhi said with a smile: "In the city we passed through in the past, there are still some traces, why is there no half of this place?" ”

"Yes, 200,000 soldiers and civilians are all here." Su Jiu's voice trembled.

Lu Zhi was puzzled, "My sister really loves to laugh, why can't I see it alone?" ”

"Does the king remember the first battle of the Ghost Prison against Dayong? That battle took place here. Su Jiu slowly raised his hand and pointed to the open space in the middle of the city, "The 200,000 soldiers and civilians in Xicheng were all buried alive in that place under Cheng Jinyi's order...... How can the king say that there is no one in this city? ”

The moment the words landed, two lines of tears rolled down suddenly.

The cold wind howled like thousands of dead souls roaring.

Lu Zhi was stunned.

He stared at the clearing and opened his mouth, only to find that he could not utter a word.

Su Jiu sneered, didn't bother to care about him, and led Ran Ran and Li Mu to the edge of the city wall.

There were dark red blood stains, marks that had been air-dried a long time ago.

Her eyes were deep, and she said softly, "Here, there were three human heads hung in the past. ”

Ran Ran pursed his lips, "Three human heads? ”

Su Jiu remembered that back then, he had just come to serve by Xiao Tingchen's side, and she was just a little girl who didn't know anything.

That year, the Flower Dynasty Festival in the old courtyard of Jinling was very lively, he took her to Banfeng Lotus to sell incense pills, and the white-bearded old man sat in the old house full of light and shadow, smiling and bargaining with her......

Later, the people of the Japanese kingdom came to provoke, and it was the old man who drove them away......

Su Jiu was immersed in memories, and then looked at the place where his head had been hung, and tears couldn't stop pouring out.

She knelt beside the bloodstain with Ran Ran and kowtowed respectfully three times.

When the army of the ghost prison attacked, the old man and the three of them could obviously escape, but they had to fight to the death until the last moment, this courage is worthy of her admiration for a lifetime!

It's just that I pity Xiao Yudie, my father and grandfather both died in battle, leaving her alone in the world.

Xiao Tingchen is right, her relatives died for the world, and the world should support her!

She choked up and told Ran Ran: "No matter what happens in the future, you have to be good to Xiao Yudi, understand?" ”

Ran Ran scratched his head ignorantly, "Xiao Yudi is a princess, and some people are kind to her...... Where is my turn? ”

Seeing Su Jiu's serious expression, the little guy nodded obediently, "Mother, I will do my best to be good to her...... Last time, I earned two peanut candies, and I was reluctant to eat one of them, so I gave them all to her! ”

"Good ......" Su Jiu touched his little head.

It was getting dark.

Changsheng and Li Mu brought firewood and built a small bonfire on the city wall.

Several people sat around to keep warm, each thinking about their own thoughts.

Su Jiu looked at Lu Zhi, the young man's jacket and skirt were already dirty, and he was lying on the edge of the fire, staring quietly at the ruby fire lotus.

She glanced at the color of the lotus petals.

She remembered that he had said that when the lotus petal was dyed blood-red, it would be the day he died.

Something like blood flows in the lines of the fire lotus, and after looking at it for a long time, you will feel that this thing is like life, as if it can suck people's souls into it, and it is very evil.

And Lu Zhi had been watching for a full two quarters of an hour.

Putting the sleeping Ran Ran in her arms on the quilt, she got up and snatched the fire lotus from Lu Zhi's arms, "Don't look at it." ”

Lu Zhi's gaze slowly fell on her face.

He smiled, "There are very few people in the world who know when they will die, and I am one of them." Counting down the days of your life every day is a very mysterious feeling. ”

I'll see you tomorrow
