Duguxue didn't answer, he just squatted there quietly and looked at the ground, but although the person was squatting here, his heart was not here.

Nangong Xi saw that he was distracted, kicked him with his foot and said, "What's wrong, stupid?"

Duguxue still didn't speak, just squatted quietly.

Nangong Xi said again: "It's really stupid, it seems that I was stupid by the old guy just now." As he spoke, he gently touched his forehead.

Duguxue finally stood up again and said, "Okay, as long as you're not stupid." Saying that, he walked around in this abandoned building, after all, his family is also a big family, and it is normal to occupy an area of several hectares.

Although most of the destroyed ones have become charred in ruins, there are some things that, although they have been baptized by the years, still exist.

Nangong Xi has been following behind Dugu Blood, and he has probably seen that this man should have lived here before.

So he asked, "You used to live here?"

Duguxue said: "Don't want to ask about everything, you know, it won't do you any good." ”

Nangong Xi pouted and said, "What's there, I want to know, I'll know." ”

Duguxue didn't look back at her and continued to walk forward, the bricks and tiles here were too familiar, even the pond in front of her, which had no water, was still so familiar.

Everything here is the same as it was more than a decade ago, and nothing has changed.

The same dilapidated and dilapidated, even after such a long time, the traces of the fire are still very clear.

Duguxue suddenly squatted down, looked at the burned iron nails that were a little unclear, wiped off the dust on it with his hands, and saw a Xiao character engraved on it.

Suddenly, I had mixed feelings in my heart, looking at this little piece of iron that was not in shape, and slowly showed a wry smile, so bleak and desolate in my smile.

Nangong Xi didn't interrupt in a rare way, and quietly looked at Duguxue's expression on the side, not knowing whether he was crying or laughing.

There is bitterness in the smile, but there is still a smile in the bitterness.

"What's wrong with you?" Nangong Xi saw Duguxue's expression and stagnated for a long time before he slowly spoke.

Duguxue didn't answer, but slowly wrapped the iron piece in a black cloth and put it in his pocket, then stood up and said, "It's nothing, just wandering around here." ”

As he spoke, he got up and walked in this place, Nangong Xi found a clean place to sit down, and watched Dugu blood caress the dust on the ground and walk.

......

"Subordinates, see King Liao!" a big man knelt down on one knee respectfully and said to the old man on the throne.

The old man smiled and waved his hand, "Flat!"

Dahan stood up and said: "Song Guo has already investigated it, there is an obvious nest fight, should we ...... it?"

The Emperor of Liao shook his head and said, "We don't need to make a big deal in the land of the Southern Barbarians, let them go." ”

Dahan's eyes widened, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, although it is the land of the Southern Barbarians, but after all, it is comparable to the strength of our country, if you don't take this opportunity, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have another ......."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted.

"Okay, you can continue to train the troops, you don't have to worry about the rest, step down. The Emperor of Liao said with a wave of his hand.

The Great Khan opened his mouth and didn't know what to say, but finally closed his mouth and turned away.

A middle-aged man with a knife hanging beside him said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, it is better to take advantage of this to ask them for silver, and by the way, go to their border to make trouble." ”

When the Liao Emperor heard this suggestion, he nodded and said: "That's right, it's better to let them pay tribute and pay taxes, and we can get so many things without spending a single soldier." ”

The middle-aged man bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty is wise." ”

"In your opinion, we should also send a mission next. ”

The middle-aged man said respectfully again: "The minister thinks it's time, and our people should also go to the chaotic Western Regions to check it out." ”

The Emperor of Liao slowly stood up and said, "Then I will leave this matter to you." ”

Dugu Blood had already left the place with Nangong Xi and left the border city.

When walking on the road, Nangong Xi went around Duguxue and asked this and that, which made Duguxue feel very headache, and he had developed an indifferent and indifferent character for so many years, and rarely communicated with people like this.

In the past ten years, I am afraid that I have not said as much as Nangong Xi alone.

Nangong Xi said: "After walking for so long, where are you going?"

Duguxue glanced back at her and said, "Go see the others and let them come back." ”

Nangong frowned and said, "Is that group of monks?"

Duguxue didn't speak, just smiled and nodded.

Nangong Xi said about his neck and said, "What are you doing when you get them back?"

Duguxue didn't answer, just continued to walk forward. Since Nangong Xi didn't answer, he didn't ask more, and talked about this topic without saying anything along the way.

Along the way, the two of them got acquainted with each other.

Finally, I saw a lot of smoke rising from the woods in front of me, and I could conclude that Bai You and they should be there.

"Finally, not far ahead, it should be their gathering place. Duguxue slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Nangong Xi glanced in that direction, then jumped on the spot a few times and said, "It seems that someone is cooking." As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a rumbling sound in his stomach.

Duguxue glanced at her and said, "Okay, let's go quickly, maybe we can catch up with dinner time in a while." ”

Nangong Xi was very happy when she heard the word dinner, and she trotted all the way in front of Duguxue, this girl used to like to eat so much. A smile appeared on Dugu Xue's face, and he regained that indifferent expression for a moment, because he knew that there was another person waiting for him in the distance.

Although he had never acknowledged that feeling, it was only now that he knew what was really going on in his heart.

All people actually have seven emotions and six desires, Duguxue once only knew that continuous practice would one day be able to avenge the great revenge of the extinction, and he always missed his deceased wife in his heart, and he couldn't let go.

But seeing this lively and active little girl today, he realized that there is more than just one revenge in life.

There are still so many things he can do, and so many people waiting for him.

At least when he goes back, he can still eat a rock sugar gourd that he likes the most, although that thing does seem to be a little cheaper to eat now.

But these are all his attachments to the past, and when he bites into it, it is not only the sweetness that is late, but also the happiness of the past.

Nangong Xi trotted all the way in front, Duguxue followed all the way, and after a few days of contact, Duguxue also regarded him as his sister and treated her as if there was anything, after all, she was still a little girl.

"Ahh Nangong Xi suddenly stopped, and then hid behind a tree and said to Dugu Xue.

Duguxue frowned when he heard this, and jumped directly to the tree in a few steps and looked down.

The group of people were wearing mink coats and carrying black knives in groups of three or five, eating hot pot.

Look at their dress, it's not cloudy sky.

As soon as Nangong Xi wanted to speak, he saw Duguxue jumping onto the tree, and he didn't need to pout, he jumped up in a few steps and said, "This group of people doesn't seem to be the group of monks, right?"

Duguxue nodded ignorantly, he didn't know any of these people.

"What are they doing? Look at that. Nangong Xi said and pointed with his finger.

One of the strongest-looking young men in the group was playing with a dagger in his hand, and he even held a Buddhist bead in his left hand.

Dugu Xue's brows were tightly furrowed, although he couldn't see what the Buddha bead looked like, but he always felt that this group of people was related to Yuntian and them.

However, if you look closely, this group of people is not like any Central Plains sect, but more like some local bandits.

At this time, several bandits came out of their mouths with angry scolding sounds, they looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a carriage, there was a cage, just covered with a curtain, and it was lifted to find that there were dozens of girls inside, and their whole bodies were beaten to the flesh.

There was also a big man outside the cage who spat and scolded: "You little ladies shut up for me, and you want to eat whips, don't you?"

As he spoke, the whip in his hand hit it directly, and there was a crackling sound on the wood, as if he was demonstrating.

Seeing this scene, Nangong Xi said angrily: "Ah blood, I want to go down and teach a lesson, these gangs are not people." ”

As soon as the words fell, he was really about to jump from the tree, but was pulled back by Dugu Blood and said, "Don't act rashly now, understand the situation." ”

"What's there to know about this, don't you see?"

Duguxue didn't speak, just grabbed Nangong Xi's arm tightly, Nangong Xi struggled a few times, and after seeing that there was no effect, he stopped struggling, and began to look down.

I saw that the cage was opened, and several big men threw some steamed buns inside, and the rice and meat closed the door again.

Even from such a distance, you can still hear the rude voice of the big man: "You are all full, go on the road later, and send you to Liao to be slaves, don't starve to death halfway." ”

Dugu Blood was satisfied when he heard this, nodded, let go, grabbed Nangong Xi's hand and said, "I now know what their purpose is, I can do it." ”

Nangong Xi smiled and said, "I don't want to do it now, you can go." ”

Duguxue opened his mouth and did not speak.

When Nangong Xi saw Duguxue's expression, he didn't show a smile and said, "Okay, okay, let's go." As he spoke, he jumped down from the tree and said loudly: "Listen to your group, I am your boss!"

Duguxue almost fell down from the tree when he heard this, and he said it too directly.

When the dozen or so big men who were eating heard this, they all raised their heads to look at the woman in front of them.

The strongest-looking young man at the head said, "What are you, and where did you come from?" as he asked, his eyes still looking around.
