Wolfna's voice, girlish and melodious, tinkled through the depths of Lake Issyk-Kul. Qin Beiyang barely heard the meaning of the Russian lyrics-

"The night was long, the rain was murmuring, and the dew was shining on the grass. People say I'm lucky, but I don't know I'm upset. If you don't want to believe it, you have to believe it, I'm afraid that it really won't happen: you and I are like a river, left and right. Ducks in pairs, birds in pairs, waves and waves are connected, girls and boys are arm-in-arm, but I am alone. I look forward to it day and night, and I am afraid that it is really unfathomable: you and I are like a river, left and right. ”

This melodious and sad Russian song, melodiously floating in the underground palace, seems to have become a requiem for everyone.

(Author's note: The original name of this song sung by Wolfna is "Two River Banks", an episode of the Soviet film "Thirst" in the fifties of the last century, the Chinese lyrics were translated by Mr. Xue Fan, and later adapted by Mr. Wang Luobin into the song "A River Water")

In the Xiliao Underground Palace, the White Russian beauties sang, and Timur, the king of the little county, was unwilling to be lonely, and sang a song on a hungry stomach-

There are beautiful women in the north

Peerless and independent

A look at the city

Then look at the country

Rather than know the city and the country

Beautiful women are hard to come by

The generous tragedy of ancient Chinese made Qin Beiyang stunned. This song comes from more than 2,000 years ago, when the court eunuch singer Li Yannian sang it to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in praise of his sister Madame Li. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty therefore included Lady Li in the palace. One of them ascended to heaven, and their brother Li Guangli became the general of the Second Division, leading the Han army on an expedition to the Dawan Kingdom in the Western Regions, which is today's Fergana Basin - very close to Issyk-Kul Lake.

The little king climbed to Qin Beiyang's side, pressed his ear and said, "Beiyang, I can see it with my heels, the Russian beauty is interesting to you." In this desperate place, our lives are in danger, and it is better to fulfill the lovesickness of others. The good night is short, don't go to the underworld to regret it. Do you remember the "Golden Clothes" I took you to listen to in the eight alleys of Beijing? The flowers can be folded straight, and the branches must be broken without flowers. ”

"Get out!"

Qin Beiyang pushed the little king away, scolded him with his head and face, and tried wrestling. Although Timur was a good player at Bock, he was hungry and had no intention of making a move, and was thrown into a. Lying down and watching the lively Lao Jin, he laughed on the spot.

The little king buried his head in the gold and snorted: "It's really kind to treat it as a donkey's liver and lungs." ”

He deliberately matched Qin Beiyang and Katya because he considered that Anna was married to Qi Yuanshan, the wood was already in the boat, and the raw rice was cooked and cooked, how could the result be changed? If Qin Beiyang also has a new love, he will not forget his love for Anna. According to the temperament of the little king, men all over the world are born with four words: like the new and hate the old, as long as you catch a new love, you will forget your old lover when you turn your head.

"Stop fighting." Wolfna picked up the little county king, and returned the water given to her by Qin Beiyang Province to him, "If a group of people are in a desperate situation, women should be sacrificed first, so that there will be hope for people to survive." ”

"No, my life should have ended in the fall of 1919."

"Qin, do you want to hear my story?" Wolfna leaned on his shoulder and blew like an orchid, "My ancestors have been craftsmen for generations, making all kinds of animal trapping tools. When I was a child, I lived in the forest on the shores of Lake Lagado, and I used to go out hunting with my father and brother......"

"Wait! Was your name Katerina Andreev before you got married? ”

"Any questions?"

"Your father's name is Alexander Andreyev?"

Qin Beiyang's mind flashed in the icy Russia, a small village in the Ural Mountains, an old craftsman Alexander, who is good at making animal traps, is also a member of the Craftsmen Union.

"How do you know?"

"And your brother's name is Valodya?"

Wolfna's eyes widened: "Do you know them?" No, my brother is long dead, killed ten years ago while building a mysterious machine. ”

"I knew your father when I was in Russia." Qin Beiyang took out the cross bow behind his back, "This is what he gave me!" ”

"The One-Eyed Pyramid?" She looked at the mark on the steel crossbow of the crossbow, "I remember, when I was a child, I recognized this mark. How is he now? Since the death of his brother, Dad went to the Ural Mountains alone. ”

"I'm sorry, he passed away."

"Oh God!" Wolfna covered her mouth: "The Bolsheviks killed him?" ”

"No, it was the White Guards who did it, and I've avenged him."

"Thank you, my dad is a stubborn old man, a craftsman obsessed with his craft, and I think he must like you very much."

In the underground palace of Yelu Dashi, Qin Beiyang sighed fate: "The world is so small, I met his son-in-law and daughter in Paris and Harbin respectively. ”

"After my brother died, I went to nursing school. At a ball, I met Baron Franz von Wolff by chance. I was dressed in black and wore silver bracelets, and I was no match for the aristocratic ladies who were dressed up. Wolf pursued me frantically, saying that I was like Tolstoy's Anna Karenina. ”

"I've read the book, the Japanese version, in the library of Kyoto No. 3 High School."

"Three months later, I married Wolfe. He gave me the title of Baroness, but I didn't love him. This man prefers physics and mechanics. Once, when he was drunk, he said that when he first saw me, he thought I was not a human, but a beautiful 'soul machine'. ”

"Anyone who is obsessed with the 'soul machine' is a genius who goes crazy."

Qin Beiyang remembered Dr. Holstein, Professor Yamamoto, and his lost father.

"Happy families are always alike, and unhappy families have their own misfortunes."

Wolfna lay down beside Qin Beiyang with her eyes closed, which is the first sentence of the opening sentence of "Anna Karenina".

"I don't understand ......"

He also lay on the tin box full of gold, and turned his head to look at her face as pale as snow.

"In St. Petersburg, I didn't feel like a family, it was more like a prison, and at one point I wanted to run away from Wolf. But I have children, dearest Condon Stantin. I swear I'm not going anywhere, a woman's happiness is not worth mentioning at all. ”

Wolfna closed her eyes, like a corpse, silently waiting to be buried, as if returning to the frozen Baikal......

I don't know how long I slept, but the town's tomb beast Nine Colors woke up his master, dragged him to the door of the tomb, and listened with his ear to the crack in the door.

Qin Beiyang's eyebrows were raised, as if it was a flute? And the hole flute? Some kind of musical instrument that can't be named? The little king also came over and heard that it was the Mongolian horse-head qin.

Hell party at the pyramid of human bones?

In the end, Qin Beiyang heard a girl's crisp singing voice-

Green dragon head, white dragon tail,

The child begs for joy on a rainy day.

The wheat is browned,

Start the Dragon King.

Big down and small down,

The first to eighteen.

Mahasa

Ah Yu?

Qin Beiyang, who was originally waiting for death, quietly moved the top door stone. In the huge underground palace, there are a few faint lights. The bamboo flute, Dong Xiao, and Mongolian horse-head qin are strangely blended into a ball, accompanied by the children's songs of the Henan victims wandering and praying for rain, and the natural sound of a seventeen-year-old girl, which makes people's ears flutter.

The pyramid of human bones, back to the original state of seven hundred years ago, still stands in the underground palace, and there are no longer any skulls or even broken bones on the ground. Like Qin Beiyang, they listen to music quietly.

He saw Ah You.

The musician who plays the bamboo flute is the Graybeard's assassin father; The melodious man who breathed out the dong flute, looking at the side of his face like a fluttering beautiful man, turned his head to expose the other cheek, but there was a centipede-like scar crawling - his name is Ah Hai, and he and his father are Qin Beiyang's enemies who killed their father and mother; The stout man who sat cross-legged on the ground and played the horse-head harp vigorously was needless to say, and he was an assassin.

Assassin Band......
