The mountains and forests are quiet, and the birds fly through the sky. There is a bamboo building with curling smoke. An emaciated teenager lay on a rocking chair and watched the yellow dog in the yard chasing a few old hens. The boy laughed, his face flushed, and he coughed again.

A girl walked out of the firewood room, the girl was plain and short-haired, and a pair of Danfeng eyes seemed to have spiritual light, but there was no soft water, like a man, if it was really a man, he would be handsome and extraordinary.

"Daozen, are you okay? Seeing that Daozen was coughing, she hurriedly ran over, wiped her hands, and patted Daozen on the back a few times.

Daochan coughed and smiled: "It's okay, it's just happy." ”

The girl glanced at the big yellow dog in the courtyard and smiled: "Why are you still like this, you are stupid by yourself." ”

"Tomboy, isn't the meal all right? I'm hungry. ”

The girl was very dissatisfied: "It's not that I don't have a name, my name is Huang Kite, remember?"

The phoenix kite tugged at Daozen's ear and shouted loudly in his ear.

Daochan grabbed her hand: "Although I have injuries on my body, I am not deaf. Can you be gentle with the injured person, just you, the fierce and vicious, saying that you are a man will not wronged you at all. ”

Huang Kite looked at Dao Chan holding his hand, and his face turned red.

Seeing that the phoenix kite didn't speak, Dao Chan tilted his head to look at her, stretched out his hand and shook it several times in front of her eyes: "Tomboy, did you knock on the wood and knock your own head and knock yourself stupid?"

As soon as she heard Dao Chan call her a tomboy again, Huang Kite raised her hand and patted him on the back: "I really want to knock you stupid now." ”

Daochan was slapped by the phoenix kite and began to cough again. This time, the phoenix kite didn't care about him, twisted his head, and walked directly back to the firewood room.

"You... Don't go..."

Not long after, the phoenix kite brought out the food from the firewood room and placed it on the stone table in the courtyard. Dao Chan's nose smelled, and suddenly came to the spirit, he propped up his body and wanted to eat, one was unstable, his body fell forward, and the phoenix kite hurriedly supported Dao Chan: "Be careful, although it has been several months, the injuries on your body have not healed." ”

"I'm so hungry. ”

Huang Kite felt helpless: "What else does your brain have besides eating?"

"Money. Daozen smiled at the phoenix kite.

Huang Kite shook his head: "Today I stewed a chicken to replenish your body." ”

"I'm really getting more and more fond of you. Daozen sat on the stone bench, picked up the spoon and tasted the chicken soup.

"Really?" said the kite, smiling happily.

Daozen gnawed on the chicken legs: "That's not it, who wouldn't like a brother like you?"

"Brother?"

"yes, aren't we two brothers?"

"It's not. The kite lowered her head and clenched the chopsticks in her hand.

"Tomboy, don't you hurt your feelings when you say that?" Daozen picked up a chicken leg with chopsticks.

The phoenix kite raised her hand and was about to play Dao Zen, only to see Dao Chan stretch out the chicken leg in front of her: "No, here you go." ”

"Do what?"

"For you, of course. I promised you, as long as I was there, I wouldn't let you go hungry. Daozen put the chicken leg in the bowl of the yellow kite.

The phoenix kite put down her raised hand, looked at the chicken leg in the bowl, and did not move the chopsticks for a long time.

"Why don't you eat it? I don't like my cooking skills, it doesn't matter, I will never dislike it, I will definitely eat what you cook." ”

"The food I cooked is delicious?" Huang Kite was overjoyed when he heard Dao Zen's words.

"The main thing is hunger. Daozen took a sip of chicken soup, smacked his lips, and savored the aftertaste.

Huang Kite knew that the Dao Chan dog couldn't spit out ivory in its mouth, and she looked at Dao Chan: "Do you think that when you were still in Beimang, you can kill people for a bite to eat." Now I'm not hungry. ”

"Okay, the scar forgot the pain. Who was crying with hunger at the time, could it be me?" Dao Chan rolled his eyes.

The phoenix kite smiled slightly and picked up the chicken leg in the bowl.

"Thirteen, what's your real name?"

"I forgot my real name, wouldn't it be nice to be called Thirteen. ”

"What's so good about thirteen, it's just that when we were slaves in the hands of the barbarians, they replaced our names with numbers, so that it was easy to evoke. In their eyes, our children are no different from livestock, and they don't need names. You are thirteen, and I am Xiao Seven. Besides, how can you forget such a thing as a name, you are lying to me again. The phoenix kite remembered the days of that time, and her eyes were sad.

"I'm a liar, and you're still friends with me, so it can be seen that if you're either terminally ill, you've been stupid by knocking wood with your grandfather all these years. Moreover, those things that are old sesame rotten grains, say what it does. Daozen said and laughed.

Huang Kite didn't hit him this time, because although Dao Chan teased her, he kept turning around in the pot and sandwiched all the meat in the pot into Huang Kite's bowl.

"I'm just stupid. She looked at Daozen.

Daozen waved his hand: "Knowing that mistakes can be corrected, good is great." ”

"I'm not a pig, don't give me meat anymore. ”

Daozen scratched his head: "Get used to it." ”

Huang Kite smiled secretly and glanced at Dao Chan: "Can you not be reckless in the future, next time you jump off the cliff again, I won't save you again." ”

"Didn't I believe you, I didn't expect that there was really Kong Mingzhou, I always thought it was a half-stunned fool of me. ”

"How could I lie to you. Besides, I told you a long time ago that I am a descendant of the Luban clan, of course I am not a lie. ”

"Don't mention him to me. But now I really believe it. When we jumped off the cliff, we were very heroic, but after jumping, I regretted it, and thought that I was really going to fall to death, and I was afraid in my heart, hey, you don't know, if we were a few years younger, we would definitely have to pee our pants. ”

Hearing Dao Chan talking nonsense again, Huang Kite laughed.

"Laughing at what?"

"You're going to regret it? ”

"Believe it or not. ”

"Thirteen, if it weren't for the fact that you needed to act on a play this time, would you never come to me?"

Seeing the sad look on the face of the phoenix kite, he put down his chopsticks: "Since the northern border, you have been taken away by your grandfather who came to look for you, and soon I will join the Yama Palace." Later, I was half-stunned and told me about your whereabouts, thinking that your life is stable now, and I, as a killer, have blood on my hands, and I can't see the light. In this way, don't disturb your life. ”

"I know, I'm not the little girl who only cries. It's just that after following my grandfather to this Eagle Sorrow Peak, I actually miss the days when I was in the north. ”

"I'm stupid again. Daozen knocked on the phoenix kite: "Live well, it's better than anything else." ”

Huang Kite looked at Dao Zen and did not speak.

"Don't talk about this, I haven't seen your grandfather for so long, is it that the old man hit a mountain on a Zhuge boat? ”

The phoenix kite glared at Dao Zen: "You just hit the mountain, crow's mouth." Our Luban family lives alone, but there are also times when the family gathers, after all, there is only once a year, and the time is a little longer. Originally, I was going to go with my grandfather, but I just received a message from Murong Yiwen, so I didn't go. ”

"Family gathering, where does your family live, take me to see it next time, the puppet mechanism of the Luban clan is a must, but it is too mysterious, and it looks like he is an immortal cultivator." ”

"That's not good, this is the rule of the clan, and no outsider can get the place where the clan lives. But there's a way. ”

"What method?" said Dao Zen's eyes glowed with gold.

"That's if you marry me. In this way, it will become the Luban family, and it will not be a problem to enter and exit. ”

Daozen sighed: "Suddenly there is no interest, so forget it." ”

Seeing Daochan's lost appearance, the phoenix kite wanted to hit people again.

"What are your plans for the future? Or live in Eagle Chou Peak, don't you hate fighting and killing the most, just this time everyone should think that you are dead, and no one will track down your whereabouts. I simply live here, and I am also at ease. The phoenix kite looked excited.

Daozen shook his head: "It's good to live here, but it's not good yet." ”

"Why?"

"I still have things to do. ”

"It's been so long, and you still want to find out the cause of your master's death, and you still want to take revenge?"

Daozen did not reply.

"Now, your martial arts are completely useless, and even your meridians are damaged, and it is impossible for you to enter the martial arts path anymore, how will you take revenge?"

"Am I that stupid? I'm a man who has always persuaded people with reason, and I fight and kill people who don't have brains to do what stupid people do. So I think with my three-inch tongue, I should be able to tell them to die one by one. Daozen patted his chest and was confident.

Looking at the emaciated Dao Chan, Huang Kite knew that what Dao Chan was telling was all lies. But she understands better that no one can change the decisions made by Daozen.

The phoenix kite seems to have returned to the northern realm four years ago. That year, the wind and snow were like knives, and it rained for more than ten days. The endless prairie turned into a sea of snow.

"Hurry up! useless waste. "Five or six barbarians are watching dozens of children at work. These children, thinly dressed and barefoot, walked back and forth in the snow.

"Smack. The brute whipped a child, who fell to the ground and never got up. The brute kicked him, and when he saw that the boy did not move, he spat and ignored it.

The children toiled all day without a moment's rest, until late at night the barbarians drove them into the barn.

Dao Chan, who was only twelve years old, walked to the corner of the wall, leaned on the wooden board exhausted, and shook the phoenix kite beside him: "Xiao Qi." ”

The phoenix kite slowly raised his hand and put it on Dao Chan's hand, Dao Chan turned his head and looked at the yellow kite with dull eyes, his eyes were cold.

"Thirteen, I'm so hungry. ”

Daozen held the hand of the phoenix kite, and was tapped on the shoulder, and he turned his head to see the young man they called the boss winking at him.

Daozen followed the boy to a no-man's corner.

"Thirteen, we have to find a way to get something to eat, or everyone will starve to death. ”

Daozen nodded.

The boss explained a few words to Dao Chan, and then walked away, Dao Chan walked to the side of the phoenix kite, and took her hand: "Don't be afraid, with me, there will be food in a while." ”

"Thirteen, I miss grandpa. ”

Daochan rubbed the head of the phoenix kite: "I'll see." He closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

In the middle of the night, snowflakes fell again on the grassland. Daozen opened his eyes and glanced at the boss standing on the side, and the two of them discredited, lifted a broken wooden board in the corner, and got out.

Whenever it was snowy, the barbarians liked to drink and have fun. The two looked at the barbarians, who were already drunk, and walked around and cautiously entered the tent.

"Don't be greedy, take it and leave. The two of them took some jerky, stuffed them into their clothes, and hurried away.

The two returned the way they had come and went into the barn. If they want to steal food, they can only wait until the snow is heavy, or they will be betrayed without the brutes finding out.

The boss and Daozen quietly walked over to everyone and woke up the sleeping children: "Shhhh ”

Stuff them with a piece of jerky and tell them to eat it quickly.

After sending it to everyone, Dao Chan walked up to Huang Kite, took the dried meat and circled her nose a few times, and Huang Kite opened her eyes: "Thirteen, I had a dream just now, and I dreamed that I ate meat. ”

"Look, what is this?"

"It's meat!"

"Shhhh She took a bite and looked at Daozen: "Have you eaten it?"

Daozen laughed: "Of course I have eaten." ”

Only then did the kite happily finish the meat.

In this way, Dao Chan and the boss did it a few more times, but they were finally discovered by the barbarians.

"Tell me, who did it!" The barbarian stripped them of all their clothes and made them stand in the snow.

"Good, good. With a whiplash, a child lay on the ground, the pain causing him to curl up, and Daozen clenched his hands tightly.

"Smack!" one of the children fell to the ground: "If you don't say it, I won't force you, just see if it's the whip or your bones." ”

The barbarian walked up to the phoenix kite and grinned at her, "Do you know who it is?"

The phoenix kite shook his head, and the barbarian shook his whip: "Okay." Raise the whip and whip it, Daochan ran over, hugged the phoenix kite, the whip was drawn to Daochan's body, the barbarian kicked Daochan and the phoenix kite to the ground, and walked to the next child: "Then do you know who it is?"

The child trembled, looked at the brute with a cruel smile on his face, peed out when he landed, and pointed at the boss: "It's him, and..."

The boss stepped forward: "It's me, I did it alone." ”

"Finally can't help it?" the brute laughed, "Everyone else goes back to the barn, nothing is wrong with you." ”

Dao Chan held the phoenix kite, was pushed and kicked by several other barbarians, and sent back to the barn, he looked at the boss, the boss smiled at him, and shook his head slightly.

The boss never came back, presumably he had been killed by the barbarian, Dao Chan stared at the young man who had denounced him, and walked over.

He didn't say a word, just looked at the boy coldly.

"What do you want to do?" the young man panicked when he saw Dao Chan's cold eyes.

Daozen punched him in the face, once, twice, and Daozen was like crazy. The other children next to him wanted to pull Dao Chan away, but when Dao Chan turned around, his voice was low: "Whoever stops me will die!" was so frightened that the group of children could only stand in place, not daring to stop them anymore.

When Daozen was tired and the young man under him was no longer breathing, Daozen slowly got up, walked to the corner of the wall, buried his head between his legs, and remained silent for a long time.

On the second day, when he saw Daozen beating someone to death, the barbarian smiled and didn't say anything, just dragged the child's body out. For the next few days, the barbarians did not give them any food as a punishment.

Looking at the phoenix kite, who had fainted from hunger, Daozen stepped aside, pulled out a broken blade from the snowdrift, and when he returned, he was holding a piece of flesh still dripping with blood in his hand, and his arm was red.

"Xiao Qi, give it, brother brought you meat. Dao Chan put the meat on the mouth of the phoenix kite, the phoenix kite did not react at all, Dao Chan was startled, put his head on her chest, and heard that there was still a heartbeat, so he let go of his heart. It seemed that the phoenix kite was already hungry, so he glanced at the meat in his hand, threw it into his mouth, chewed it a few times, broke open the phoenix kite's mouth, and fed the meat to the phoenix kite's mouth with his mouth.

"Why are you stunned?" Daozen patted the phoenix kite.

Huang Kite shook his head: "I remembered when I was in Beimang before." ”

Dao Chan smiled: "What is there to think about in those hard days." ”

Looking at Dao Chan's indifferent appearance, the more indifferent he was, the more important the phoenix kite was.
