Scenery of the North Chapter 1 The Boy at the Head of the City
The young man sat carefully at the head of the city, his face was full of stains, but his eyes were incomparably bright, and he looked out of the city from time to time, panting slightly, licking his dry lips, which were still a little dry and a little salty, and holding a sword with a curly blade in his hand.
The boy looked up at the sun, it was already noon, and it seemed to have finally stopped outside.
Reached out and took out a small half of the steamed bun from his arms, and took a bite, the dry lips, plus the drier steamed bun, it was really a little difficult to swallow.
The probe looked around, looking for a kettle.
The boy spotted a spot and slowly touched it.
Pushed away the person who was pressed on the kettle, it turned out to be Liu Ada, silently read in his heart, walked all the way, carefully picked up the kettle, shook it slightly, it seemed that there was still a small half, and suddenly felt that his hands were sticky, and he found that his hands were full of blood, and he wiped it on Liu Ada's body with disgust.
Carefully touched back to the original position, and began to gnaw on steamed buns, scolding from time to time: "This little girl, the steamed buns are getting more and more unpalatable." ”
Swallowed the last bite of steamed buns, looked around, then lowered his head and sighed secretly, this is the first time, and he is left alone.
......
The young man's surname is Lu Ming'an, and he has been in this ghost place for two years. When he was 12 years old, because of the war between Wu and Ning, large-scale conscription began in various parts of Ningguo, and Lu An, who happened to be an orphan, was forcibly taken away without explanation, which was regarded as a supplement to the head.
Fortunately, Lu An was young, and when he first arrived here, he was a firehead to help deal with logistics. Later, the battle escalated, and the soldiers of Ningguo died more and more, and they died faster and faster. Lu An changed from a firehead army to a city defender.
From the trembling when he first held the sword, to the nine deaths of the first time he went to the city, and then to the panic and anxiety when he killed the first person, he transformed again and again, and escaped death in waves after waves.
From the very beginning of the greed for life and fear of death, to the current greed for life and fear of death. It's been two years, and now Lu An is 14 years old, you must know that the head of Saibei City has always been known as a hundred deaths by the soldiers of Ningguo, and Lu An has been on it for so long, it can be regarded as worthy of his own name, Lu An, survive carefully.
Everyone admired him, every time there was a big war, Ning Guo had always been the defender, and the number and quality of Wu soldiers far exceeded Ning Guo, but since Wu attacked the city of Saibei, Wu people were stunned for two years and could not go further.
The closest to success was that the gates of Saibei City had been smashed open, and the entire city was full of Wu people, and the only Ning people standing were Lu An.
Lu An blocked the passage by himself, not retreating.
A young man, dressed in armor, a sword, and a gun, stopped everyone and forcibly killed more than 20 people.
In the end, Ningguo's reinforcements arrived, and Saibei City was saved.
That time, everyone was moved by him, and when the lord of Wu learned of this scene, he did not hesitate to sigh: "If everyone in Ning is like this, it will be difficult for my generation to go further." ”
Of course, that time, Lu An was also seriously injured, and he had already gone to see Lord Yama with one foot, but in the end, he was forced to survive.
After that, everyone looked at this teenager with the most admiration, and someone asked him why you can fight to the end and not retreat?
Lu An replied, "Because I'm afraid of death." ”
In this way, a person who was born afraid of death became a legend in the city.
General Hu Yonghu, the lord of Saibei City, especially likes this young man and intends to accept him as his adopted son, but he refuses on the grounds that he has become the general's righteous son, the goal is too big, it seems to be easy to die, I am afraid of death, don't be it.
In this way, a man who has been in the city for two years is still a lowest-level soldier, and the reason why he does not want to be promoted is that I am afraid of death, but I am always at the forefront of fighting.
Since then, a sentence has spread: The city of life and death is broken, and it is easy to be in the city.
No one knows why a teenager in his teens has such great strength, perseverance, and resilience, and in just two years, from ignorance to killing, the transition is so fast and smooth.
Everyone can only say that this may be the talent of fear of death.
.........
From last night to this morning, there has just been another tragic siege battle.
Lu An survived again, but there were basically few people left around him.
Lu An looked at the corpses all over the place, some of them he knew, and some of Wu Jun's, after a few glances, there was no wave in his heart, he took a sip of water, and saw that under the city, Wu Jun was already retreating in an orderly manner.
A little earlier than expected, Lu An dared to raise his head a little at this time, looked out, and took a cursory look, this time the other party also died a thousand people, so he could rest for a while.
Lu An stood up and looked around, and at this time, there were still a lot of people standing up at the head of the city.
Ye Yu nodded and smiled at these people, and he could see that everyone's faces showed a trace of happy wry smile at the moment.
Surviving is probably the greatest luck for everyone here. Gradually, Lu An heard a few sobs from all around, and it was a recruit, who looked like a new face, hiding in the corner alone and sobbing non-stop. As luck would have it, he shrugged his shoulders and slowly walked down the city.
As soon as Lu An got out of the city, a burly man with a full beard and a uniform suit of armor walked up, saw Lu An walking down, stretched out his hand and patted Lu An's shoulder, "Good job, survived again." ”
Lu An looked up, looked at each other for a moment, and then nodded.
"Stinky boy, hold on for a while, it's almost over, don't burp in the last time. The man said happily.
"Bearded, I've heard this almost 800 times, so let's have a big drink tonight, and you're talking like a fart, and you've never worked well. Lu An said unhappily.
"Stinky boy, how do you talk to General Ben, beware that I will deal with you according to military law. Hu Yong's eyes widened.
Lu An snorted twice, turned his head and left.
Hu Yong looked at Lu An's deflated appearance, laughed, and went directly to the city.
Lu An came to the logistics cooking place and found a place to sit down.
shouted: "Su Mu, do you know that I was not killed by the people of Wu Guoren, I was almost choked to death by your steamed buns, are you a spy sent from the other side, specializing in making iron steamed buns to assassinate our elite?"
When the people present heard this, they all laughed and echoed loudly, "That's it, I almost choked to death after eating one today." "What, do you still have steamed buns to eat? I didn't eat anything today, so I drank a few sips of water." ”.........
Suddenly, like a fryer, the originally lifeless atmosphere suddenly came alive again.
Lu An smiled slightly, this is a small man who suddenly sprang out of it, with black charcoal on his face, wearing a pair of ill-fitting armor, hurriedly ran to Lu An's side, grabbed Lu An's hands, feet, face, and body, looked at it carefully, and then breathed a sigh of relief and kicked it, "You weren't injured, didn't you choke to death from my steamed buns?" ”
"What do you mean?" Lu An shouted, "You little girl, it seems that your ass is itchy?"
"Hmph. Su Mu stood up and glared at Lu An and said, "Go away, do you still want to eat at night?" ”
Lu An hurriedly moved his position to make way for her.
At this time, Lao Bai, who had broken an arm, came over and whispered to Lu An: "This girl, don't mention how worried you are before, I've been watching you there, I've been watching you for a whole day." I can't wait to pick up the kitchen knife and go up to kill the enemy. ”
Lu An nodded, as soon as Su Mu rushed out, she immediately checked her body, her expression and movements, Lu An saw it clearly, and couldn't help but smirk when she heard what Lao Bai said, sure enough, she didn't hurt this little girl in vain.
Lu An watched Su Mu get busy there, and couldn't help but think of the scene when he first met Su Mu more than a year ago.
At that time, Ning Guo and Wu Guo had just fought a big battle, and Lu An's most brilliant time was also the most dangerous one, and he almost didn't survive.
Lu An was seriously injured and almost didn't survive, and when he woke up, he saw Su Mu taking care of him, a very aura, very fairy little girl, taking care of him to eat, drink and Lasa for a week, that year, Lu An was just 13 years old, and Su Mu was only 11 years old.
Since then, Lu An has known that there is a Su Mu in the Huotou Army, and Su Mu also knows that there is a Lu An in the city.
There is an extra heel behind Lu An's ass.
Remembering that when she changed the medicine before, every time she screamed by her, Lu An laughed directly, she should have never been in contact with this aspect of things at a young age, unlike now, three times five divided by two.
Su Mu looked at Lu An alone and smirked, confused, and said, "Did you get hit in the head?"
Lu An ignored her and continued to giggle.
Lao Bai looked at these two little boys, and began to talk again, shaking his head, also a little speechless, but it's also good, who knows if there will be such an opportunity next time.
..........
At night, Lu An leaned on the edge of the city tower alone, all around him was quiet, and the battle of a day and a night made everyone feel tired, and they were already asleep, only the sound of the wind blowing the torches, the neighing of the war horses from time to time, and of course, the snoring of one after another.
Lu An looked at the moon in the sky, today is another full moon, in the sky, there is only one moon, not a single star, only a few clouds slowly drifting by.
Suddenly, a person on the side slowly moved over, sat directly on Lu An's side, reached out and handed Lu An a steamed bun directly, and this time there was a pot of water.
Lu An looked at the steamed buns and water, and smiled slightly, "It's here." ”
At night after every big war, the two of them sat in this place, chatting, silly for a while, and talking about these silly things, after all, the two of them were only teenagers and girls, and they were the only peers.
recalled that when the two of them first arrived in the barracks, the bearded general was dumbfounded, it turned out to be a 12-year-old doll who came to defend the family and the country, and almost lost a mouthful of old blood. Later, it was even more outrageous, and after a year, even the 11-year-old female doll came, and she almost didn't pull off her beard.
During that time, our General Hu's face was black, and everyone often heard him say there alone: "The sky is going to kill my Daning." Everyone was amazed.
Every time they thought about it, they both covered their stomachs with laughter.
But who would have thought that the youngest boy could hold up a piece of the sky alone in the city, and the only girl also made a good steamed bun in the kitchen.
Lu An closed his eyes and said, "Bearded, tell me today that this battle is about to end, and we can go home soon." ”
"He's said that again, he's lied to you so many times. Su Mu said angrily.
"This time is different, I heard his tone different from before, this time, full of joy and anticipation, I think it is very likely. Lu An said calmly.
Su Mu sat up straight all of a sudden, staring at Lu An with two eyes.
Lu An suddenly felt that there was no sound, and when he opened his eyes, he was startled, "What are you doing, such two big eyes staring at me in the middle of the night, scaring me." ”
"Where are you going back after it's over?" Su Mu asked softly.
"Of course, I'm going back to my home, two years have passed, and I don't know if the old house at home is still there? What about you?" said Lu An.
"Me?" Su Mu, with his eyes closed, leaned against the city wall, and didn't say a word.
When Lu An saw this, he suddenly didn't know what to say, since the two met, Su Mu had never mentioned anything about himself, and he accidentally mentioned things about himself a few times, and he was also hesitant.
This time, the reaction was different from before.
"Why don't you go home with me, there are many fields near my house, and we can plant fields and graze cattle in the future." Lu An laughed.
"Shall I go home with you? Su Mu looked happy.
Now Lu An was stunned, and promised so refreshingly.
"However, don't think about it, I'm just going to your house to borrow it for a while, you have to serve me, eat and drink well, and dress well. Su Mu continued.
When Lu An heard this, he smiled, "Then I have to think about it, I have to take back a big trouble, and I have to serve it well." ”
"You still have to think about it, I am such a yellow flower girl, such a beautiful beauty, you should be happy to go home with you. Don't you want to live anymore, if I don't dare to go back now, I won't go home with you. Su Mu said angrily.
When Lu An heard Su Mu shouting, he hurriedly nodded in agreement, and raised his finger to ask her to be quiet, but fortunately, the snoring around was still there.
"Lu An, the bearded man likes you so much, why don't you continue to follow him? Otherwise, according to your strength, you can become a big official in the future." Su Mu asked.
"Because I'm afraid of ......" Lu An just said those words, and was directly interrupted by Su Mu, "Don't talk nonsense, and you're afraid of death?
"Okay, but I'm really afraid of death, because of the war, the thief captures the king first, and I don't know how many Wu Chang I killed, this is indeed one reason, another reason, it may be that I want to be free more, every day I watch the bearded man busy there, worried about this, worried about that, afraid that one day the city will be broken, we ten thousand people, are directly clicked, and the worried beard is white, so I'm afraid of being lazy. Lu An thought for a moment and said.
"I once heard my teacher say that all people in the world have pursuits, but nothing more than a few points, fame, fortune, and immortality, so what do you want? Su Mu asked.
Lu An closed his eyes and said: "You are here again, from time to time to move out of your teacher, said this, that, as if your teacher is a saint, but also, the world's principles, everything is proficient, I am annoyed to hear it, if you see this person in the future, you must not let me know, I am afraid that I can't help but beat him." ”
Su Mu smiled, and then said, "It's annoying to him, but you are not allowed to say that about him, the teacher is very powerful, and he is very good to me." And I think what the teacher said is very right, the hustle and bustle is all for fame, the endless flow is for profit, and fame and fortune are all worried about longevity. Tell me, what the hell do you want?"
At this time, Lu An opened his eyes and was silent, since he was brought to this place inexplicably, at that time, all he thought about every day was how to live, and he didn't think about what he wanted to do, so he thought about it for a while.
Lu An opened his mouth and said: "When I first held the sword, I was very scared, because I knew that if I took this sword, I would face death, but the only way to resist death was the sword in my hand, so at first I was afraid of the sword in my hand." ”
When Su Mu heard this, he was thoughtful.
Lu An continued: "But now, I am standing at the head of the city, the only thing I believe in is the iron sword in my hand, from the previous fear and hatred, to the current only belief in this sword, the reason may be that I want to live, so I think what I want in the future is to live well, it may be what you said about immortality, although I don't understand how people can live forever." ”
After Su Mu heard this, he was silent for a while, although Lu An's words were an understatement, but from fear to belief, this process should be the most uncomfortable. "That's it, nothing else?" Su Mu continued to ask.
When Lu An heard this, he seemed to hear a hint of extraneous meaning, smiled evilly, poked his head in front of Su Mu, and said: "Is there anything else that is to snatch you back as a little daughter-in-law, although you can't do anything else, you have to have no figure, and your face is average, but you like to make steamed buns, and you won't lose money by snatching them back." ”
"You stinky and shameless, why did I let you come back alive today, when I grow up, can I look at you or not. Su Mu scolded angrily, but he didn't know if he had fun in his heart.
"Okay, okay, then I'll wait for you to grow up, and then see if you are a big beauty, and then think about whether I want you. Lu An began to close his eyes again.
"Lu An, then when you grow up in the future, remember to come to me, you can't give up halfway. Su Mu whispered, almost as loud as a mosquito.
Lu An didn't hear what Su Mu said, so he nodded, okay, and agreed.
The sky is bright, the moon is round, and the boy's promise is beautiful.
