Chapter 18: The Fallen Stars
To the north is the power of the Yun clan, the royal clan on the edge of the town, and it is difficult for the Qian clan's power to penetrate here. But for the sake of unnecessary trouble, Yun Fan's identity was not disclosed.
The people in the north are fierce, and fights and brawls between groups are commonplace: "Little boy, I heard that you have a big background? It doesn't matter who you are. Do you understand?"
Yun Fan had an argument with several local children who were about the same age playing role games, because he had just arrived and his body was not strong, so Yun Fan was silent.
"I'm talking to you, you're deaf!" the little ruffian roared loudly at Yun Fan's ear, almost slipping Yun Fan up.
"Let go!"
Yun Fan's eyes were red, he was enraged, he didn't want to cause trouble, but now the pain made him angry.
"Hey! ”
"Touch!" Yun Fan threw the little ruffian with his foot, and pulled out the dagger casually, Yun Fan's body was thin and small, and he really couldn't fight hard, which is why he had to endure it all the time.
Seeing the dagger, the little ruffian immediately became intimidated, stood on the spot and threatened not to step forward: "Hu guy! you can do it, you have the ability to stab me to death!"
"Smack!!Get out!" Su Rong saw that Yun Fan's eyes were red and obviously angry, and he didn't ask whether it was right or wrong, and went up to slap the little ruffian's head hard.
"What are you doing?"
"Who let you bully Xiao Fan. "Su Rong is bigger than them, and taller than them, although she is a woman, she can scare a lot of little children in terms of momentum.
"You see he's holding a dagger, who bullies whom?" Seeing this, the little ruffian hurriedly explained the quibble.
"Uh... I'll see you bully Xiao Fan, you little ruffian, don't quibble, you bully Xiao Fan again... You guys... See once hit once, roll. Su Rong looks like an eldest sister, domineering and short-guarding.
The little ruffian may know that he is wrong, and he leaves in a huff.
"Come here!" Su Rong's voice is loud but very gentle.
Yun Fan bowed his head in place and did not listen to Su Rong's words. It seems that it is a shame to be scolded by a woman.
Su Rong walked quickly in front of Yun Fan. grabbed Yun Fan's ears and left, saying as he walked: "Go home for dinner, don't bother with them in the future." ”
Yun Fan resisted a little at first, but soon followed Su Rong home, and his ears were pulled all the way. It's completely a little brother who was bullied by his sister.。
Later, Yun Fan was promoted to lieutenant because of his military merits, and even became a general in the future, Su Rong would still pluck Yun Fan's ears in public, and Yun Fan would not be angry about it.
The people of Gulong City and the defenders of the Great Wall all knew that Su Rong was the only general in the world who was unconditionally accommodating!
From the twentieth year of Chaoxing to the twenty-fourth year of Chaoxing, Yun Fan lived in Surong's house, far away from Gongdou, and had Surong's care and protection.
Wang Mingli protects Yun Fan in the north of the town, and Lin Lan's forces secretly protect Yun Fan, and his life has been good in the past few years. Usually arranged by Zhang Gumu to learn classics and the art of war, and there is a lieutenant to teach martial arts, and life is still along the road of the emperor.
The yearning for freedom has not changed at all, Yun Fan also affected Su Rong, and Su Rong gradually became as curious as Yun Fan, they all wanted to cross the Great Wall and go to the north to see. Surrounded by walls, they could not see the scenery outside the wall, only the soldiers said that the north side was all grass and desert.
Even if it was grass and desert, Yun Fan didn't see it with his own eyes, he was still curious, and one night the two secretly ran out of the city through the sliding rope of the lookout. Since then, it has been out of control.
In the twenty-fourth year of Chaoxing, a huge meteorite fell in the north and smashed into the territory of the Haohe tribe of the Hun people, smashing out a huge crater with a diameter of more than ten miles and a depth of dozens of zhang.
That night, Yun Fan and Su Rong secretly slipped out of the inner boundary of the Great Wall with a sliding rope as usual, and lay on the grass and looked up at the stars in the Great Wall guarding the land boundary, and the light of the meteorite fell like the sun in the night, and the dazzling light shone on the earth.
At Yun Fan's suggestion, the two walked in the direction of the meteorite fall, wanting to find the meteorite fragments. Su Rong couldn't resist Yun Fan, so he had to agree.
The two walked all night before they reached the place where the meteorite fell, thanks to the rising sun, otherwise Yun Fan and the others would have to fall into the huge pit.
Looking at the huge crater that could not be seen, Yun Fan felt deeply shocked and felt powerless to find the meteorite fragments. The sun gradually rose, and the sunlight was sprinkled at the bottom of the deep pit, Yun Fan kept staring at the center, and found that the sunlight was shining brightly.
It was determined that there was a meteorite, and it was still the child's Yun Fan who planned to slide down to find the meteorite, but was stopped by Su Rong. Just when Su Rong persuaded Yun Fan not to be impulsive, the cavalry of the neighboring tribe had already reached the deep pit, and they were only two miles away from Yun Fan and Su Rong.
According to the noise made by the cavalry, Yun Fan was the first to spot the Huns, and pulled Su Rong to run south. A detachment of Hun cavalry also spotted them and rushed towards them.
Yun Fan and Su Rong were chased to the edge of a desert, Yun Fan knew that walking into the desert would kill him, in order not to drag Su Rong down, he was ready to negotiate with the Huns, and with his status as a prince, it would not be a problem to survive.
Yun Fan knew what would happen if he was captured, but he trusted Zhang Gumu from the bottom of his heart to save him, and even more so to protect Su Rong.
After the pursuit reached the edge of the desert, the Hun cavalry also stopped, and after the flying eagle passed the message, it left.
The Hun people have found the meteorite fragments, and there is no need to chase and kill Yun Fan and the others, and at the same time they remembered that in the second year of Chaoxing, they also pursued a horse and a young baby into the desert, and the dragon cloud overlord Yun Wu went to war desperately and wiped out a tribe, which made them feel uneasy and did not dare to kill people casually, after all, the Hun people were in a weak position.
Because he was chased by the cavalry and lost his way, Su Rong held the small hand with his big hand and walked towards the direction of the sun.
After a whole day's walk, they found a military road, and at this time they only had half a pot of water left, and in the scorching sun, they decided to rest beside the military road, waiting for the passing rangers to take them home.
Half a pot of water means that two children who lack water can only support one person to walk for half a day, and they may be able to reach the Great Wall after walking for half a day.
There are some withered willows beside the military road, and although the branches are dry, there is a shadow with their backs to the sun to enjoy the shade. The careful Yun Fan found that there was a dead willow where green shoots were pulled out.
Seeing the tender green branches and leaves, Yun Fan thought about chewing the water, and if the withered willow was split, maybe he could suck some juice. Seeing the green leaves, Su Rong's originally decadent mood suddenly improved, and he proposed to water the withered willows.
Yun Fan hesitated, he knew that they needed water immensely at this time, more than this tree. Trees can live without water for a day, they are different, next door in the scorching sun, a day of dehydration means death.
Looking at Su Rong's eyes full of kindness, emotion overcame reason, and in the end he failed to turn Su Rong.
After Su Rong finished pouring the water, he turned the kettle upside down, pretending to drink water, and drank bitterly at the spout of the kettle, but in fact, the water did not enter, and he wanted to leave the water to Yun Fan. Yun Fan saw these in his eyes.
The two of them were bored, and they were silent at first, but then Su Rong couldn't hold it back, and discussed with Yun Fan to name the withered willow.
Originally, Yun Fan didn't want to deal with Su Rong, so in order to make Su Rong quiet down as soon as possible, he talked a few words, accepted Su Rong's proposal, and named this reborn dead willow "Fan Su".
The two of them walked around from time to time to avoid the sun. Because Su Rong didn't drink water, his lips were chapped, his expression was confused, and he almost fainted. It was the sweet water that Yun Fan poured into her that woke her up.
Persisting until the evening, the rangers did not wait, but found Zhang Gumu who was walking. Coming from the north, he had not yet ridden a horse, and although he walked slowly, he did not sweat a little.
Zhang Gumu also discovered Yun Fan and the two, and after a conversation, he learned that Yun Fan and Su Rong had crossed the Great Wall to pursue meteorites.
Although it is inevitable to preach, Zhang Gumu has more opinions about this child who has been arranged for fate. As far as he has observed in the past few years, Yun Fan does have the talent of an emperor, but he has something more, bold and stubborn.
Although he is a monk, he is a guest after all, and he is not good at interfering in the host's affairs, sighing in his heart. He brought Yun Fan to the north for selfish reasons, originally what Zhang Xiaoyi told him was that Yun Fan had cultivation qualifications, but Zhang Xiaoyi didn't know about the old grandmother's bitter tea.
In the end, Zhang Gumu discovered something interesting, and Yun Fan's innate qualifications were not completely destroyed. On the one hand, he cultivated the heir of the Yun family in accordance with the rules of the secular world, and on the other hand, he secretly used Yun Fan's habitual forging body to take a bath to nourish Yun Fan's body.
During the night, the Rangers returning to the city brought the trio back. A few days later, Yun Fan received a cold sword, and the male sword marked the beginning of Beisai's career.
