Chapter 20: Heart Lock, Kill Seal.

In this empty house in the wheat cutting city, Qing Ling bit off the black thread again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

She took the needle and thread and a few pieces of scraps in a small leather bag, and when she wanted to take off the thimble she was holding, she hesitated for a while, but then she dropped her hand and left the thimble in her hand.

Then, Qing Ling lowered his gaze and stared at the inky clouds that bloomed above the phoenix fire.

Her previous stitches had been smooth, with dense and well-proportioned stitches without a single mistake. The ink clouds embroidered with flat needles, oblique needles, overlapping needles, and crutches with hooked edges are extremely vivid, and the black lines that make it up are stacked on top of each other, and from a distance, it seems to have been detached from the layer of red cloth and floated on top of it.

Standing up, Qing Ling unfolded the big hat he had picked up, and put it on with his hand, revealing the side of the blue, blue and white butterfly. And the ink clouds that took most of the night to embroider could only be hidden below, on their backs.

The new big man, warm and heavy, although he will no longer be shrouded in emptiness and despair from nowhere all day long as he used to be, but the heart of this heavy and soft heart in his chest always feels that it is wrapped in new chains.

But this time the chains were not what I wanted.

If I had known this......

It is better to endure this torture alone for the rest of your life than to destroy the derivation. It is rare to have both worlds, and Baili Tianya has made sacrifices for it to make up for the formation. All these things have made the past of those two people become their own. What brings is another indescribable feeling.

The mask grew on her face, and then she turned into a sinister look, and pushed the door out of the room, and she looked up to see that the sky was about to break.

After closing the eyes, the world is dark, and in the fog, there are only two lights. One was her, and the other was in the middle of the city.

That is, the chains of the heart.

............

It was an empty but not lonely field, the green earth mixed with a hint of yellow, and the pine-covered mountains blocked the cold wind blowing from the north. The autumn sun is mild but not harsh, with a lazy warmth. The sky is high, the weeds are low, and the whole world seems to be taking a nap peacefully.

Tuotuo River is a tributary of the Blue River, but it flows in the opposite direction of the Blue River that flows into the sea in the east, flows from east to west through the vast Xingjun grassland in the northeast, and then passes through the Fengyan Mountains, rubbing against the vast wilderness in the north, like a child who has left home to run to his mother's arms, all the way to the birthplace of the Blue River, at the foot of the distant Tianzhu Mountain in Zhongzhou.

It seemed to love this little but warm land, flowing beautifully and quietly, tiptoeing across a bluestone bridge to the west, and there were two men on the bridge looking down at it.

They were two soldiers on the border, but they did not perform their duties seriously, but sat on the bridge with a big grin, and in front of them they also set up a fire with pine branches, and a large clay pot was set up on the fire, and the water in the jar had begun to bubble slightly.

"The bridge under our feet was a very important place 20 years ago, a trade road connecting Zhongzhou and Xingjun, and it has been lively for hundreds of years. But now, only a dozen of us are here, and we are not too crowded to walk side by side. The speaker was a weather-colored veteran, unarmoured, covered in coarse cloth and stained, sitting cross-legged on his knees, holding a long brass cigarette stick in his hand, and looking to the side with a smile.

Surprisingly, sitting next to the veteran was just a boy who looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old, with a heavy brown iron leaf cuirass that he used to pad his buttocks, staring straight at the half-boiled water in the clay pot, while throwing thin strips of pine wood into the fire, hearing what the veteran said, he raised his hand to wipe the sweat that was steamed by the fire, tilted his head slightly and asked, "Why don't you use this bridge now?"

The veteran pressed the boy back. "The water is boiling, the firewood is enough, Lao Yue hasn't packed the rabbit yet, it's useless for you to be anxious. Then he said: "I don't need this bridge, naturally because this world is no longer called the Great Zhou, there are wars everywhere, and after 20 years of fighting, there is still no fixed number of chaotic people, and there are more and more roads that cannot be taken." The veteran took a deep breath on his cigarette stick and exhaled a long smoke.

"Lao Luo, why do you always hide and cover Xuanxuan when you speak, to make it clear. The boy pursed his lips.

"What are you covering Xuan Xuan! You kid don't always mess up words, hey, but don't say it, this word has a lot of meaning when you think about it carefully. The veteran who called Lao Luo laughed, shaking his head as if he was savoring.

At this time, another boy ran up to the bridge, ran over quickly, stomped on the stone bridge, held a large basin in his hand, and shouted: "Pack up! After saying that, he rushed to the crockpot where the water was just boiling, and a pot of rabbit meat fluttered down the pot. The two of them, who were overjoyed when they heard this, hurriedly raised their arms to block the water droplets that burst out of the crockpot. When the young man finished his work, Lao Luo hurriedly put down his hand, first looked down at the cigarette bag pot in his hand, no water splashed into it, and then raised his head to look at the pot. After seeing it, the beard curled up and put on an angry face.

"Jiang Daqi, you're in a hurry to get into the pot, aren't you? Go back to your barracks and get salt!"

The young man holding the big basin sighed aggrievedly, just turned around, and saw that a few soldiers had walked out of the barracks not far from the opposite side, and they were talking and laughing and walking towards the bridge. When Lao Luo saw it, he put down the cigarette stick with a smile, turned around and waved to the west. Two hundred steps to the west of the bridge, there were also two barracks, and the people watching in front of the room saw Lao Luo, turned around and shouted, and a few soldiers rushed out of the room, holding the guy who was eating, and hurried over. In the blink of an eye, there was a circle around the fire. More than a dozen big men took turns to glance at the pot, let out an exclamation, and then sat down together, and the guys put them on the ground. Looking closely, the clothes and armor on the two groups gathered together were actually of different formats, the clothes and armor of the few people behind Jiang Daqi were the same as the clothes and armor of the boy who boiled water on the bridge, and the iron leaves made a slight friction sound as they walked, and the few people who came over from the west were wearing black armor made of iron sheets, and the tandem was tied with a cowhide belt. The people who sat down also sat in two semicircles around the two of them according to the position where the two people were sitting on the bridge just now, but there was no strangeness between the words, and the chatting was full of knowing the roots.

Lao Luo spit out a puff of cigarette and said to the soldier who came over with a salt shaker on the opposite side: "Lao Yue, have you sent someone over from your Beishan camp in Dayan these days?"

The soldier named Lao Yue is also middle-aged, far less sloppy than Lao Luo, his clothes and armor are very neat, but the frost color on his face is inevitable, and his two thick eyebrows seem to be locked. Wen Yan said: "The Beishan camp is also coming before the winter, and it is still early. Besides, if someone had come, the big-eyed thief among you would have seen it. ”

A young man sitting next to Lao Luo snorted haha. "Lao Yue, look at what you said, I have looked at those faces and this piece of land every day for the past two years, what is there to see, if the people you sent by the Beishan battalion to check the post are big girls, then I will keep an eye on you every day. The crowd laughed.

Lao Luo waved his hand to stop laughing, spit out another puff of cigarette, and said: "I don't know what's going on, in the past, the days when people from our camp came to deliver food were also before winter, but the night before yesterday, the people from the Daye Pass camp suddenly arrived, and they didn't bring anything with them, but they just checked the number of people, and they got on the horse and left immediately." ”

Lao Yue's two eyebrows squeezed into the middle again. "Do you want to transfer troops in your battalion?"

"It's hard to say, at worst, Emperor Ye may be going to use troops again. Lao Luo's tone also sank.

Another guy on the side grabbed the conversation: "People will come, and we have to go wherever the flag goes." These two groups of us gathered together to drink wine and eat meat, and talked about the secrets of the two countries, and if the higher authorities saw it, they would definitely cut us off, and they might hang our heads in front of the camp to show the public. ”

Lao Yue laughed: "In this place, it's good that the camp above hasn't forgotten that these people have cut off our food, and maybe one day this whistle will be removed, you see, even General Qiu's crows don't come here." ”

When a big man had just taken off half of his armor, his hand stopped in front of him, trembling as if he wanted to put his armor on it again, and shouted: "Lao Yue, are you deliberately trying to scare people!

When the few people here saw the actions of the other side, they were laughing comfortably, and they all laughed when they heard the words of the big man. Lao Luo saw it in his eyes, but he shouted. "Whether it's General Qiu's crow, or our war king, what does it have to do with us when they fight them, look at you, just like a frightened rabbit. ”

Another person in the crowd grinned. "Lao Luo, don't talk about rabbits, the rabbits are stewing here. ”

Lao Luo scolded with a smile, and then looked at Lao Yue with a straight face. "I also said that just now, if Emperor Ye really wants to transfer troops, it will be a war against the Northern Wilderness. And you Dayan must also do something, it is estimated that Zhun Xin'er already knows in your camp, if it is really as I said, then your Beishan camp will also have to send someone over in the next few days. ”

"Check people?" Lao Yue lowered his head, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

The young man holding the big basin sighed aggrievedly, just turned around, and saw that a few soldiers had walked out of the barracks not far from the opposite side, and they were talking and laughing and walking towards the bridge. When Lao Luo saw it, he put down the cigarette stick with a smile, turned around and waved to the west.
