Chapter 244: Barren Mountain Tomb
Nanshan is located 100 miles south of Nanshan Town, 100 miles south of Pingyang City, and is also 20 miles away from Nanshan Town. In Pingyang City, which is located in the plain, it is the closest mountain to Pingyang City.
The peaks of Nanshan are not high, but the mountains stretch for dozens of miles in an arc, like a giant stretching out his arms and embracing this barren Nanshan town.
However, this Nanshan is different from other peaks we have seen, there are no strange rocks, no peaks and peaks. There are few trees on the mountain, let alone birds and animals.
Namsan is a veritable barren mountain. Barren to the point of inaccessibility, deserted.
This season, it should be lush with lush vegetation and branches. But as far as the eye could see, the whole mountain was nothing but a few bushes and thin, depressed weeds, and all that remained was the decaying color of stone, and there was no life to speak of.
On this day, even the residents of Nanshan Town did not come to the land of Nanshan, and a simple gray canopy carriage drove all the way through Nanshan Town and slowly stopped at the foot of Nanshan Mountain.
The driver of the car was the first to jump out of the carriage and report to the carriage: "Your Highness, Miss Shangguan, the road ahead is rugged and difficult, so you can only get here." ”
Shangguan Jiyue poked her head out of the carriage and looked at the barren mountains and mountains in front of her, with weeds and rocks, and her face was puzzled.
Huang Fuchen brought her to Nanshan, which was inaccessible, which she never expected.
I remember that when he was recuperating from his injuries in Pingyang City, he told her that he would take her to a place. It turned out that what he wanted to bring her to here was this Nanshan.
Just as she was thinking, Huangfu Chen jumped down from the carriage and stood side by side with Shangguan Jiyue, looking up at the barren mountains in front of her. On the handsome face with clear water chestnut horns, there is a solemn color.
He was still wearing an ink-colored robe today, with black moire dark patterns embroidered on the cuffs and neckline. This color that should have been dull was worn on his upright body, not only did not have the slightest sense of disobedience, but it made his slender figure more extraordinary.
Even if he stood there quietly like this, he still couldn't hide the powerful aura exuding from his body. Shangguan Jiyue knew that this was his killing qi forged in the sand for a long time in the military all year round.
Shangguan Jiyue didn't know if it was her own delusion, she always felt that today's Huangfu Chen was more solemn than ever, and there were faintly complicated emotions.
Feige had already tied up his horse and stood quietly behind the two, his eyes lowered, and he didn't say a word, as if he was waiting for something.
Shangguan Jiyue didn't speak, but her mood became a little heavy for no reason.
"Let's go." Huang Fuchen opened his mouth lightly, and naturally took Shangguan Jiyue's little hand, and his warm palm gently wrapped her.
"Yes." Feige behind him agreed, and then moved forward to lead the way, without saying a word.
The mountain road is narrow and winds up. There was gravel and weeds all under my feet, and every step was particularly difficult.
At this time, Shangguan Jiyue realized that what Feige had just said about "the road is rugged and difficult" was really too subtle. Where is this rugged? It's just bumpy.
Even if the three of them are people with kung fu foundations, they all feel that it is very laborious.
stumbling all the way forward, Huangfu Chen kept holding Shangguan Jiyue's hand and did not let go. His hands were large and warm, and his joints were slender and powerful. Because of the perennial practice of martial arts and weapons, the palm is covered with a thin layer of calluses, rough but not rough.
The temperature traveled from her fingertips to her heart, and her increasingly restless heart gradually settled down.
He didn't say why he brought her to the barren mountain, and she didn't ask.
Huang Fuchen glanced down at the woman dressed in white beside him, and his dark eyes were full of thick tenderness that could not be dissolved. Sweeping the hands of the two of them clasped together, his heart was full, as if he had grasped the whole world.
And in fact, in this world, he is the only one left.
He thought, just like now, as long as her hand was in his hand and her fingers were tightly clasped, he was willing to accompany her for the rest of his life. Where there is her, there is him. He knew, and so did she.
Halfway up the mountain, Feige in front suddenly stopped, turned to Shangguan Jiyue and Huangfu Chen, and said, "Your Highness, General Qi, the front is coming." ”
Shangguan Jiyue looked in the direction pointed by the flying singer, and she was slightly stunned: between the mountains, there is a valley, the terrain is low and flat, slightly raised.
From her current direction, the valley was a verdant color, in stark contrast to the barren and depressed mountains around her.
"What is that place?" Shangguan Jiyue couldn't help but ask.
Huangfu Chen held Shangguan Jiyue's hand and tightened it unconsciously, and opened his mouth and called softly: "Yue'er." ”
Turning his head, Shangguan Jiyue crashed into the man's eyes as deep as a lake. It's just that at this time, there is a strong depression in those eyes.
Shangguan Jiyue's heart sank slightly, as if something flashed in her mind, and she happened to catch it. Her body shook, only to feel a tightness in her throat, and before she knew it, her eyes were already full of sourness.
She turned her head to look at the valley again, and her eyes were already full of water.
Is that what she thinks? Is it?
Huangfu Chen looked at the woman's reddish eyes, and stopped talking: "Yue'er ......"
Closer, closer......
Shangguan Jiyue had already faintly seen the slightly raised mounds, one next to the other, covering the entire small valley.
This valley is a graveyard!
And the green that Shangguan Jiyue saw halfway up the mountain was the poplar forest surrounding this tomb, and there was a pine and cypress next to each tomb.
The sand dune-like tombs are like stars in the sky, and there are hundreds of them. There was not a single weed around each of the tombs, apparently someone had taken care of it not long ago, and new soil had been added.
When Shangguan Jiyue saw the stone tablets erected next to the first two graves, her legs seemed to be filled with lead, and she could no longer move half a step forward, and froze in place.
Because one of the stone tablets is impressively engraved with the names of his father Shangguan Peize and his mother Ling Yunxian, while the other tombstone is the name of the eldest brother Shangguan Jifeng.
The silent sorrow hit Shangguan Jiyue's heart hard, and tears instantly blurred Shangguan Jiyue's vision, and the hands hanging on her sides couldn't stop trembling.
At this time, she couldn't say a word, only tears flowed silently, smashing into the dirt under her feet.
This is the cemetery of her Shangguan family's heroic souls!
Looking at the woman's appearance, Huang Fuchen felt distressed in his heart, raised his steps lightly, walked to her side, and said softly: "Yue'er, go." They're all there, and you don't have to think about putting up a mound for them. ”
Shangguan Jiyue was stunned, slowly turned around, looked at Huang Fuchen with blurred teary eyes, and choked up: "They are all ...... What is the meaning? ”
"They didn't expose the wilderness, and there were no bones. They have long since been laid to rest. ”
Shangguan Jiyue shook her head in disbelief, biting her lower lip tightly, unable to say a word.
She couldn't believe that everything in front of her was real. But the facts are in front of him, this man who values her more than his own life will never deceive her with such a thing. It turned out that the bodies of her father, mother, eldest brother, and everyone in the Shangguan family had already been buried in the ground.
Shangguan Jiyue moved forward step by step, her eyes kept staring at the cold tombstone in front of her, and her eyes did not blink.
