"If you can, can Qingtong help me find someone in Dongcang?"

"I'll do my best. ”

"I have a biological brother named Yi Qingfeng, who slipped out five years ago, and he said that he wanted to go to Dongcang to make a living. But as rumored, there was no news after Wanjun Mountain. ”

Wanjun Mountain is a valley between Beijiang and Dongcang, and the old ministers exiled in Dongcang will be guilty of all in this valley. There are rumors in northern Xinjiang that there is only one way to die if you enter Wanjun Mountain, but there are also rumors that if you enter Wanjun Mountain, you will be taken to Dongcang to start a new life, but you can never come back. Of the two rumors, the first is more credible, but the second still attracts some civilians in northern Xinjiang who are fighting to the death......

"My brother said that if he is fine, he will definitely return to the northern frontier, and if he doesn't come back, we won't try again......" Xiaowei said, her voice gradually weakening: "However, I still want to believe that the eldest brother is not dead, and I hope that Qingtong can pay attention to it when he arrives in Dongcang." ”

Xiaowei bit her lip, her eyes were a little red, but the tears did not flow: "No matter life or death, just give me a message when Qingtong comes back." ”

You can't fulfill your vow twice in the same place. And according to his own principles, Qingtong could no longer agree to this matter - if he agreed, it was something other than the five things, and that would be a superfluous entanglement with the world.

But how could he refuse?

"I'll keep an eye out, and I'll send someone to tell you later. Qingtong quietly took a bite of the mountain vegetable cake - this bite was tasteless. agreed, then, in this life, you will not be able to enter the northern frontier again. It has only been a month since he left the mountain, and the fetters involved in northern Xinjiang have already gotten out of control.

......

On a mountain shrouded in clouds and mist in the distance, an old man with crane hair was playing chess with another middle-aged man with an extraordinary temperament, at this moment, the hand he was about to suppress suddenly trembled, and after a slight pause, he still slowly put down the white child in his hand. The middle-aged man smiled slightly, but did not make a sound.

......

"Why do you want to send someone?" Xiaowei was obviously a careful girl, and immediately found the wrong place in Qing's fairy tale. At this moment, she was inexplicably a little flustered.

"It's okay, let's eat. Today's vegetable cake is so fragrant!" Qing Tong took a big bite of the vegetable cake, and his face returned to his harmless smile.

A meal, from the evening to the sky full of stars, Yinan Xing basically did not speak the whole time, and the later Xiaoying was silent. At first, Qingtong and Xiaowei could still talk and laugh, but in the end, there was silence at the table. Everyone eats very slowly, including Qingtong, who is usually like a hungry wolf.

"I'm done. In the end, it was Qingtong who broke the silence first. Then he left the courtyard and lay down on the grass where he often watched the stars with Xiaowei, and began to quietly look at the stars circulating in the sky.

Soon, another girl lay beside him, with a unique faint fragrance.

"Why don't you go back to wash the dishes?" Qingtong originally wanted to restore his tone, but in this quiet environment, it didn't taste like that.

"I want to see the stars today. Xiao Wei said quietly, and her deep eyes were also full of stars.

"Hmm. Qing Tong replied softly - the stars are so beautiful, but such a beautiful star has given him such a heavy pain......

......

"Xiaoying, I'm scared. Yi Nanxing sat in the courtyard and looked at the stars.

"Brother Nanxing has a small shadow by his side, so he doesn't have to be afraid of anything. Xiaoying swore that even if she didn't know what Yi Nanxing was afraid of, she still dared to promise it. Xiaoying is simple and pure for her age—even after so much turmoil, oppression, and hardship.

However, I'm just afraid of having you by my side! The entanglement between Yinan Xing and Xiaowei has no choice, it is determined by blood. Therefore, at the very least, he must ensure Xiaoying's absolute safety. Yi Nanxing knew that he was not as strong as he seemed on the surface, he had lost his grandfather and parents, and he could no longer afford the departure of his loved ones.

"Xiaoying, I've been using you all along, using your feelings for me to make you willingly live and die for me, using you as the strongest combat power of the Yi clan to maintain my control over the Yi clan, I just treat you as a pawn, do you understand?" I thought that my heart would be much more comfortable after confessing, but why, my heart was in unprecedented pain? Even Yinan Xing, who had stopped crying since his grandfather's death, had a sore eye after saying this.

Xiaoying was silent for a long time.

"It really makes Xiaoying sad. Xiaoying lowered her head: "But," Xiaoying already had some crying, and when she raised her head suddenly, tears had covered her entire cheeks, but she still forced herself to smile: "Xiaoying is very happy that she has use value! As long as she can always follow Nanxing's side, as long as she can occasionally hear lies like 'engaged to Nanxing', Xiaoying will always be happy." Xiaoying, it's a shadow, it's the shadow of Nanxing's brother, a shadow who won't go away for the rest of his life. ”

"But what if one day, Yi Nan Xing is destined to die, and the people around Yi Nan Xing are also destined to die?" Yi Nan Xing forcibly stopped the tears he wanted to leave and clenched his fists.

"If a person dies, how can his shadow still live in the world?" Xiaoying's tears continued to flow exaggeratedly, but he tilted his head and smiled. At the very least, Brother Nanxing cares about her, so as long as Xiaoying continues to like it.

"I'm a lonely star, and I don't end well! I want you to leave me, understand?" A chill had risen around Yi Nanxing, and the cup on the table had a slight crack—his voice trembled rarely.

"Brother Nanxing. Xiaoying snorted softly, wiped the tears on her face and laughed brightly, suddenly hugged up, her long hair was flying, and she hugged Yi Nanxing tightly, and her mouth came to Yi Nanxing's ear and whispered: "Xiao Ying likes you, Brother Nanxing." ”

It seemed that something had been shattered in his heart, and Yinanxing's brain went blank.

"Let Xiaoying stay by Brother Nanxing's side forever!"

The stars are flowing and the night sky is clear.

Yi Nanxing straightened Xiaoying's hair, and finally regained his composure: "Hmm." ”
