Chapter 26 Snatching Love with a Horizontal Sword (Fan)
"I sincerely know that everyone has this hatred, and poor couples mourn everything."
One day, Piaoyun in the year of the sixtieth year had a dream.
She hadn't dreamed in a long time since she was older.
But she remembered this dream so clearly.
In the dream, she became a man, a man named Jiang Yinian.
During the reign of Xuanzong, everything was prosperous, and it was peaceful, but a war broke out at the end of the period.
An Lushan rebelled, and the rebels moved south, pressing Chang'an City step by step.
Jiang Yinian's county was the only way for the rebels, and he was on his way to Chang'an to prepare for the imperial examination.
Sleeping in the open all the way, the broken temple and the lonely bridge are his residence.
"Scholar, where are you from?"
A deafening sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and the earth trembled.
Jiang Yinian suddenly stopped and turned around tremblingly.
These dark and empty mountain bamboo forests are a great place to hide dirt and dirt outside the city, but the enchanting colors of the night make the energetic nocturnal animals ready to move.
He originally thought that he could get out of this bamboo forest before the sun went down, but unexpectedly he met a bandit.
The tall bandit swaggered up to Jiang Yinian and grabbed him by the collar.
Jiang Yinian's frightened legs collapsed to the ground, and he subconsciously protected his head and begged: "Please, please don't kill me, I am a scholar who went to Chang'an to prepare for the exam." ”
The tall man let go of the hand that was holding him, and laughed out loud at Jiang Yinian's comical pleading appearance.
"You can do well, you can do well."
Jiang Yinian was extremely frightened, although the man let go of him, but he still didn't dare to run away with weak legs, and then knelt down in front of the two of them, kowtowing while muttering in his mouth.
"Cowardice!"
Another hideous-looking thief dismounted, ran from afar, and kicked him to the ground.
"We are just robbing money, and hand over your plate to me, and it will not harm your life."
"Good! Good! Jiang Yinian took out his coil in his bag, held it in both hands and handed it to the thief, "Thank you for letting me go, thank you." ”
The thief seems to be the first to see such a cowardly man, and he won't even resist, which is really boring.
Jiang Yinian is indeed cowardly, but he has a spicy lady.
Everyone in Nanzhou knows that he Jiang Yinian is a strict wife, he listens to what the lady says, and he believes what the lady says, and this time he came to Chang'an to follow his wife's meaning.
The lady told him to let him come first, and then he would come after his mother's cold was cured.
But before he arrived in Chang'an, he was robbed of all his family's savings by thieves, so how could he explain to his mother.
"You've got a lot of entanglements in this one." The tall man put the coil in his palm and tossed it, thought for a moment, and then took out a few copperplates from it and threw them to Jiang Yinian.
Jiang Yinian took the copperplate and thanked him again and again, as if it was the money given to him by the bandits.
"A word of caution." The tall bandit got on his horse and put on a mask again, "The rebels have already reached Nanzhou, if you don't hurry up, you won't be able to catch the exam, and finally I wish you the top student in high school." ”
"Thank you...... Thank you. ”
The two rode away on horseback, Jiang Yinian looked at their backs, and was still unconsciously muttering words of thanks in his mouth, touched his forehead again, looked at the blood that had just kowtowed too hard, and suddenly reacted.
The rebels have reached Nanzhou, and their mother, wife and children are all in Nanzhou, will they have been killed......
Jiang Yinian didn't dare to think about it anymore, he staggered to his feet with his hands on the ground, and ran in the direction of Nanzhou without looking back.
It's been four days, and Jiang Yinian is thinking in his heart that if he goes back soon, three days will be enough.
He hoped that his wife had left Nanzhou with her children and mother, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't stop his thoughts from extending to a worse place.
The rebel generals were all brutal.
He was also afraid.
Every time he thought about this, his legs would involuntarily soften, and after a few times, he simply stopped and slapped himself a few times, slapping himself until his ears rang, and he cried again.
Along the way, there were people who fled with their families, and no one was with him at all, and everyone laughed at a scholar who was crazy about the imperial examination, scrambling to send rations to the rebels.
Lightning pierced the night, thunder roared, boom, and rain poured down.
Jiang Yinian tilted his head and opened his mouth, letting the rain drip on his chapped lips, and obtained temporary satisfaction.
And Nanzhou in front of him is more like an empty city, without a trace of light, dim as hell.
There was no accident, the city was in shambles, with millions of corpses and thousands of miles of blood.
Jiang Yinian carefully avoided stepping on the corpse under his feet, he jumped and suddenly leaned down and looked at the corpse, and patted his heart with his hand every time he finished reading.
Fortunately, it was not the corpse of the lady.
Just as he was bending down to look at the corpse again, suddenly the railing on the second floor of the street 'clicked' and broke, and a corpse that had been cut in two by the waist fell heavily beside Jiang Yinian.
Blood mixed with muddy water splashed all over him.
"Phew, phew." Jiang Yinian wiped the blood on his face with his hands, and retreated back again and again, when suddenly the corpse behind him tripped him to the ground.
"Who's where?"
Several rebels came over with torches, Jiang Yinian didn't dare to move anymore, so he simply lay down with the dead body.
"It's supposed to be a kitten or a puppy."
Another rebel continued.
"Kittens, puppies, that's good stuff."
"Forget it, don't worry about it for now. The general said that only women are needed. ”
Jiang Yinian closed his eyes tightly, he felt that his heart was about to jump out of his throat, and the sound of those rebels dragging the corpses could not be dispersed in his ears for a long time.
When the group of rebels left, Jiang Yinian almost jumped up from the ground, he frantically wiped the blood on his face, and buried his head in his arm and let out a silent cry.
He was so scared, he wanted to run, he wanted to run away immediately.
His wife, children and mother were probably also killed, and if he stayed, he was afraid that he would end up with the same fate.
The lady's face still appeared in her mind, and she promised to cure the old lady's cold and go to Chang'an with him. His dream of being the champion has been studying hard for more than ten years, and in the end half of his body has gone into the loess.
Maybe it's because I've been cowardly all my life, maybe it's because I feel that it's not easy to come back all the way, or maybe it's because I'm worried about my wife and children.
If you want to die, you have to die together.
Jiang Yinian sneaked into the rebel camp, and after only one glance inside, he couldn't help but vomit.
It was this vomiting sound that made the rebel generals find him.
"Someone, bring it to me!"
The rebel general roared angrily, and Jiang Yinian's legs collapsed to the ground like lead.
"General Wei, this person should have come here by mistake." The soldier on the side bent down and explained.
General Wei, the general of the rebel army, waved his hand, and he took a curious step forward to look at the scholar-looking kid in front of him.
Jiang Yinian was even more timid than before, he covered his face with his hands and knelt tremblingly in front of General Wei.
"Mistaken?" General Wei snorted lightly and picked up his wine glass, "Seeing that you are a scholar, this road is not the only way to go to Chang'an." How did you get here? Can't I stop you if the corpses are all over the field! ”
"No, no." Jiang Yinian slowly opened his fingers and peeked at General Wei's appearance, "General Hui, my family was originally from Nanzhou. ”
"And what are you going to do when you come back?" General Wei was angered by his cowardice, and he slapped the table and shouted, "Seeking death?" ”
Jiang Yinian was so excited that even his breath trembled: "Return...... Back to the general, I am here to find my wife, children and mother. ”
"Wife and children? Mother? General Wei laughed out loud, and was swallowed by the cold wine, "What's your wife's name?" ”
"Drifting clouds."
"It's a nice name." General Wei gave the little soldier beside him a look and continued, "Do you want me to show mercy and return your wife, children and old lady to you?" ”
Jiang Yinian nodded frantically: "As long as the general agrees to spare his wife, children and old wife, he will serve the general." ”
General Wei was silent for a while with a smile on his face, and then waved his hand: "You don't have to work with dogs and horses. You are a scholar, and you need to write with a hand-held pen all your life, and now I will let you use your arms to exchange with your wife, children and mother, how about it? Hahaha"
General Wei untied the horizontal knife at his waist and threw it to him, and everyone around him laughed.
That laughter was like a knife and a sword.
He looked at the horizontal knife on the ground and was stunned.
"Are you hungry?" General Wei threw a bowl of meat in front of him with bad intentions, and continued to smile and say to him, "Go on the road when you're full, hahaha." ”
Jiang Yinian cried, but he cried and laughed again, grabbed the meat in the bowl in front of him and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Thank you, General, thank you, this meat is so delicious."
"Isn't it delicious?" The little soldier next to him also couldn't straighten up with a smile, "This is mutton!" ”
After a bowl of meat, Jiang Yinian touched his hand on his clothes a few times, and confirmed with the general again with tears in his eyes: "General, you can't break your promise." ”
"Absolutely not."
Jiang Yinian picked up the horizontal knife in front of him and blinked his eyes to look at his right arm.
"Ahh
Flesh blurred his eyes, and when he woke up again, he found himself lying next to several corpses.
A handful of dust covered his face.
Jiang Yinian struggled to sit up in the pit: "General, where is my wife Piaoyun?" Didn't you promise me? ”
"Your drifting clouds, you two already met last night." The little soldier propped himself on the shovel with one hand, quenched his saliva at Jiang Yinian in the big pit, and continued to shovel the soil with the shovel.
The loess soon overflowed overhead, and his life was over.
Piaoyun also woke up.
She sat on the bed and thought carefully about the man in her dream, why his wife had the same name as herself.
Tall and thin, the appearance of a weak scholar.
The alarm clock went off, it was already half past eight in the morning, and she hadn't slept until dawn for a long time.
Piaoyun walked to the market as usual with a basket of vegetables.
"Boss, how do you sell these potatoes?"
Piaoyun raised her head, and a familiar but immature appearance holding a book broke into her eyes, a tall and thin weak scholar, this is the appearance of Jiang Yinian's young man in her dream.
Piaoyun smiled, and so did the young man who sold vegetables.
I was born before I was born, I was born and I was old, that's it, it's just that, after all, it's a miss.
