Chapter 41: The Fifteen-Year Covenant

"You are not even afraid of death, then I ask you, do you dare to live?" Xiao Qingyan shouted.

The boy smiled softly, as fragile as a fragile snowflake.

"Although I don't know who you are, but when we meet in Pingshui, thank you for your kindness and disturb your Excellency's Yaxing enjoying the snow, I'm sorry."

After he finished speaking, he was about to leave, Xiao Qingyan saw that he was still carrying the sword in his hand, and he really didn't know if he planned to die again, or if he planned to die again in a place where no one was.

She didn't dare to gamble with her life.

"Hey, wait! Can you help me before you go? I'm hurt! But I don't want to die here alone, I don't want to die! ”

Xiao Qingyan repeated the words "I don't want to die".

She could see that this young man had excellent cultivation, knew etiquette and etiquette, and was a very gentle person, maybe let him help others live, and he could also psychologically dispel his desire to die.

The boy stopped and looked back in the direction she was hiding.

Xiao Qingyan eagerly opened his mouth, stopped in time, and suppressed his voice a little weaker: "I'm injured, I can't walk, I want to go home, but I'm afraid that the people at home will be worried when they see the injuries on my body, can you please help me find a shirt to cover my body?" ”

The boy's eyes were gloomy and he stood still.

Xiao Qingyan said pitifully: "If I am left here, I will definitely freeze to death here alone, my father died early, and my elderly grandfather and mother are waiting for me at home, I don't want to die, this Langjun, please help me!" ”

After a while, Xiao Qingyan looked at the back of the young man coming down the mountain, raised his lips and praised: "What a gentle and kind young man!" ”

Therefore, you should not be too kind, you will be easily deceived by others, and you will die a bad death.

She thought happily, but a smile froze on her face.

The boy was soon gone and returned, his eyes still gloomy, his sword in one hand, and a black mink coat in the other.

So fast? She also expected people to go farther away, or simply go home to get their clothes, and she didn't believe that people would still have the will to die when they returned.

"Y-Where are you from?"

The young man's dark eyes flickered for a moment, and he was silent for a moment, and said, "On the mountainside, I fell when I went up the mountain...... My uncle put it on for me. ”

Tears welled up in the boy's eyes.

Seeing that he was about to walk towards him with a big gun, Xiao Qingyan hurriedly said: "Don't move!" I don't want to be seen like this now, so you throw the skin over. ”

The young man was of such good temperament that he obediently threw his skin into the grass.

Xiao Qingyan wrapped the smooth fur of the ermine fur on his body, thought about it, and simply covered his head and face together, and the black bear jumped out from behind the grass.

She looked at the young man: "You want to exterminate yourself from the world, but you just feel that the court is dim and the future is uncertain, can you use your blood to wash away this turbid world?" But a coward! Do you dare to live? Do you dare to make a bet with me? ”

The boy lifted his eyes, and his watery gaze slowly looked at her.

"You...... Who are you? The young man looked at Xiao Qingyan.

At that time, Xiao Qingyan was only twelve years old, a little shorter than the boy, and covered with black velvet, and even his eyes were hidden behind the mink hole to see clearly, no matter how he looked at it, he looked like a strange little boy.

But she talks well, and she really doesn't look like a naughty boy messing around.

"You don't need to know who I am now," Xiao Qingyan said, "but in the future, if you hear a person who has devoted himself to what he has learned, soothes the people, peacefully fights the battle, survives the mountains and rivers, and settles down the country, so that the world is clear and the sea is clear, the time and the years are abundant, and the books are loud, then you will know who I am." ”

The young man looked at her with wide eyes and stunned, as if to say, this person is so angry.

Xiao Qingyan smiled loudly, confident and firm: "Do you think this is difficult?" Think I'm talking about it? But as long as there are people alive in this world, these things must always be done by people, since they have to be done by people, I am also a human being, of course I can do it! Do you dare to gamble with me? ”

The young man's thin white lips finally moved, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "Bet on what?" ”

"Bet I can do it! If I do, you're going to live well. ”

A piece of snow flew off the boy's eyelashes, which melted into crystal droplets in an instant, and his eyelashes trembled, and he was silent for a long time.

Just when Xiao Qingyan thought that he would ignore him anymore, he heard the young man speak.

"How long?"

The boy lifted his eyelashes to look at her, a pair of eyes as black as ink, focused, serious, and faintly a little starlight emerged and flickered.

He asked, "How long will it take?" I...... There wasn't much time. ”

Don't have much time? Are you in such a hurry to die?

Wouldn't it be impossible to wait for a day or two?

"Uh...... I'm serious, and I think you should understand that it is impossible to say that it is two days a day, even a year or two years. ”

Not to mention a year or two, ten or twenty years is difficult, a hundred years and two hundred years are nothing for the change of the times.

But now she has to draw a big pie, and she can't bite the pie for ten or twenty years.

The corners of the boy's mouth twitched, as if he was smiling.

"I know." He said, "Fifteen years, fifteen years may not change anything, but I can only give you fifteen years, and I hope that then I can hear rumors of a young talent coming out of nowhere." ”

The light smile on the young man's lips was like an epiphany, and it was thanked in an instant.

"Good! Fifteen years! Xiao Qingyan said in a clear voice, "As I said, I am serious, so don't lie to you with big words, I can't guarantee that this world will be completely turned upside down in fifteen years, but within fifteen years, you will definitely hear my name!" ”

The boy smiled, "Okay." ”

Xiao Qingyan raised his voice and said: "Gentleman Yinuo! ”

The young man threw away the sword in his hand: "No remorse!" ”

Xiao Qingyan told the young man that there was a Jianbai study in the west of Luojing City, so that he could put his words into the wooden box behind "Zhou Yi".

In this way, the two tacitly maintained a state of not knowing each other, and even put very few words into the wooden box, only a few occasional words, but it seemed that a word could tell the full heart.

Confidants fellowship, just a few words are enough.

Later, Xiao Qingyan learned from his grandfather that after Xie Xingzhi led 3,000 troops to force back Hu Xia's 30,000 troops, he had asked the imperial court for more troops, wanting to completely expel Hu Xia from the border of the Great Jin Dynasty in one fell swoop.

Xie Xingzhi finally returned to Luojing City alive alone, and what he saw was the deceit of the imperial court, and the intrigue within the Xie family.

The squalor and cruelty of reality completely drove this ambitious son of heaven into the quagmire and swamp, making him almost give up the struggle and drown in it.

After knowing this, Xiao Qingyan put more words into the wooden box of the study, and she painted the world she once lived in as an ideal blueprint and stuffed it into the young man's dead heart.

There is a secret that the gentle and good-looking teenager may never know, and that is ......

Xiao Qingyan climbed the wall of the Xie family once without the spirit of contract, and saw a picture of the beautiful boy's spring sleep in the bamboo forest, and determined that the boy was the jade tree of the Xie family.

In his sleep, the corners of Xiao Qingyan's mouth curled.
