It's a day, and the north wind is blowing. An ordinary small courtyard in the Yuliang capital, compared to the surrounding high houses, carved beams and painted buildings.

A burly man in the room scratched his ears and cheeks, looking like a stupid bear. Holding a white piece back and forth on the chessboard, but not falling behind. After a long time, he finally abandoned his son and begged for mercy.

A woman sitting opposite her had a slightly lower pink chin, her lips were covered by the back of her hand, she couldn't see her silver teeth, and she was smiling in her starry eyes.

"Daddy, it's shameful to lose five in a row. ”

Although the man was ridiculed, he was not angry, and smiled: "My daughter is very good, my daughter is very good." ”

The north wind outside the house is cold, but it can't stop the house from talking and laughing freely, and the warmth is moving.

A horse rode forward against the north wind, led by a brocade robe and a jade robe, with a pure white complexion.

A team of people stood tall, but for some reason, they were willing to brave this cold winter.

A knife guard knocked on the door of the courtyard, and the old man inside the door opened the door and looked.

The guard lowered his voice: "There is Shengyu, report quickly." ”

The old man opened the door and hurried back to the inner courtyard to spread the word.

The leader slightly tidied up his shirt and beard and paced in.

Outside the hospital, a 12 or 3-year-old boy stood naked, his upper body drenched in sweat and dark and vigorous. But when he saw someone coming, he stepped aside, but he still swayed his fists and feet and practiced hard.

The man led the little girl out of the inner courtyard, knelt on the ground, and motioned for the young man to kneel down, fearing that it would violate the courtesy of the ministers, and the young man hurriedly lay down.

The man at the head saw the man kneeling on the ground, took out a fold of paper from the placket of his clothes, unfolded it and said: "Lord, the north is bitterly cold, and the soldiers are unbearable. Recently, the alien race in Beiguan has invaded and seized our county, and the land of Longyun has lost four cities. I grieve for the suffering of the people, and the neediness of the soldiers. ”

"Promote Sikong Yu to protect Longyun and oversee Longyun's military and political affairs. I go up to heaven and soothe the people. Wangqing lives up to my trust and will go from now on. ”

After speaking, the man said loudly, Weichen received the order, obeyed the holy oracle, and thanked the emperor. Put your hands on the folded paper.

The white bearded man leaned over to his ear: "The special order for Ru'er to read for the palace." ”

Seeing that the man hesitated slightly, he said again: "Qing does not live up to the top, and the top does not live up to the king." ”

The man folded the paper into his arms and called the eldest son.

"Walk into the harem, be cautious, don't be careless. The burly man had tears in the corners of his eyes, but they never dropped.

The pure white bearded man gestured with his hand, and several people lined up, changing the man's regular clothes into beast-faced gold armor, and the swarthy young man into a Confucian robe.

The man arched his hand and said, "Lord Si Li, I will not send it far away."

At the next point, two staff officers will be assigned to the long history, and only one battalion of men and horses can be brought with them. ”

The man handed over half of the tiger talisman. "The tiger charm is here, listen to the general's dispatch. Yan Bi led the young man away.

Before the boy went out, he turned around and knelt on the ground, "Daddy, take care." "Pull away with the group.

General Sikong looked at the tiger talisman, only to find that the little girl was still kneeling on the ground, afraid of the cold and freezing, and hurriedly helped.

"A-Niang died early, and today my father and brother will leave me, and I don't want to spend my life here like a year. The little girl is willing to follow her father before and after the saddle and fight against Long Yun. ”

The actress's eyes were shining, and she made up her mind that she wouldn't get up if she didn't bring herself.

The man seemed to be sad and happy, and there was nothing else to say. He just closed his eyes and said, "Okay." ”

The girl was jumping and flying, and I could finally follow Daddy, and turned around and went to the house to pick up the things I loved and put them in a small box.

Put on a fur coat to protect against the cold and stand next to the man.

The man muttered to himself: "I love deeply." The two of them, a cart and a horse, disappeared in the steep cold wind against the north wind.

And the courtyard is here in this cold wind, and it is no longer as good as the brightly lit dance pavilion next to it.

Yun Chuan didn't know how many times he had woken up in a stupor, and his eyes were still on the disgusting thatched roof.

Every time I wanted to leave here, I was knocked unconscious by the old man and carried to the bed.

"This stinky old man not only snatched his own pearl, but also repeatedly knocked himself unconscious. Yun Chuan thought that he couldn't get out of this bamboo forest and couldn't see his mother anymore, so he actually cried on this bed.

The sound of sorrow resounded outside the house.

After crying for a while, my stomach growled and I only screamed, and this dilapidated house was a mess, without any food.

There seemed to be a smell of meat wafting outside the window, and the excited stomach screamed fiercely, Yun Chuan paced out the door, but the smell of meat came from the campfire.

The stinky old man pierced the meat with green bamboo and roasted it, and the oil came out and sizzled. The fragrant Yunchuan saliva flowed, and he approached the past and looked at it obsessively.

The old man's face was still fierce and vicious, and he smiled a little when he saw this: "If you want to eat, you can take it yourself, I still have it." ”

Yun Chuan wiped the saliva from his mouth, and he was not afraid of the bamboo strips being hot, so he picked it up and blew it cool for a while, opened his mouth and gnawed, and a large piece of meat went down to his stomach before he could take care of talking.

"This meat is extremely flexible, not like five birds, nor fish, but what is it?"

"Mussel-mouthed bamboo snake, delicious food in the belly" The old man shook his head slightly.

When Yun Chuan heard this, his stomach turned over and overturned, threw the bamboo stick to the ground, and turned his head to vomit.

I saw that the head of the snake under my feet was still moving slightly, and he vomited a lot of stomach water.

He collapsed to the ground, and thought to himself: "This old man is very strange, and he can't stay for long." ”

The old man picked up the leftover meat from the bamboo sticks, patted the dust and ate it. He turned and ran, but this time the old man did not chase him.

It was expected that he ran out of the open space outside the hospital, and when he reached the dense bamboo forest, it was difficult for the old man to catch up with him.

is getting closer and closer to the green and tender bamboo, no, it should be that the green is getting closer and closer to him.

Only to find that the bamboo forest three feet away was all covered with green snakes, and they were spitting snake letters towards their mouths. Frightened, he quickly turned around and ran to the hut bonfire.

The old man groaned, "Since you have eaten snake meat, these snakes will also eat you." ”

Yun Chuan stood in the house, seeing that although the snake approached the house, he did not dare to come up, and surrounded the old man, but he did not know what to do.

The old man had a thin bamboo whistle between his mouth, and blew a strange whistle. The snakes seemed to have realized something, and they were terrified, and when they looked up, they saw a stout green man among the snakes coming forward, a foot away from the old man.

The old man held it with his hand and held seven inches of land. The serpent was miserable, but he did not dare to bite it.

With the other hand and finger as a blade, he cut off the head of the snake. The snake's body struggled for a moment and drooped, but the snake's head bit and twitched on the ground, unwilling to die.

The old man put his fingers together, like an invisible steel knife to split the snake's body, the flesh and blood were dripping and the internal organs were removed, and the body was thrown into the fire, leaving only the snake gall.

But seeing the Adam's apple moving slightly, swallowing the snake's gall into his abdomen, the old man's body trembled slightly, but he closed his eyes and was speechless.

The snake meat was boned and still worn broiled.

The boy retched again, and the snakes danced wildly to wait for the snakes to retreat before making plans.

It was night, and the boy closed his eyes and grinded in bed until midnight.

groped out of the door, although the vision was dark, but he could also see the road clearly, walking slowly, afraid that the footsteps would wake up the old man.

The old man lay on the branch of the crooked neck tree outside the door, and he really slept peacefully. I'm afraid that if I turn over, I'll have to fall and eat.

The young man didn't have time to think about it, he walked out of the courtyard step by step, penetrated the bamboo sea, walked slowly for dozens of feet, and then began to run quickly, the forest wind in his ears was blowing, and the sound of fluttering was endless.

Suddenly, something fell on the young man's shoulder, and the young man flicked his hand, and his intuition was slightly cold, but there was a slight tingle.

But it was a bamboo Yeqing that bit his tail finger, and when he shook it off, he realized that the sound behind him was all snake-shaped, and the pitch-black strips on the ground in the distance were estimated to be mussels.

Now that he has only three feet left, he will suffer from being devoured by ten thousand snakes. Unconsciously, he closed his eyes and waited for death, and the hissing snake letter was getting closer and closer, as if it was in his ears.

The young man suddenly felt a stagnation in his heart, and was dragged up, and his body flew up like wings, but it was the old man who carried himself and flew up in the air, flying between the jungles like the teacher of the sea.

In a moment, he threw himself into the clearing.

The boy was about to ask a question, but he fainted, sweating profusely from his face.

The old man saw Yunchuan like this, and for some reason, he saw that his left hand was slightly green, and hurriedly scooped it up to see.

There were two blue tooth marks like mosquito bites, and his face changed. Using the fingertips as a blade, cut the skin and flesh of the tail fingers. I can't care about a lot, so I suck snake venom in my mouth.

Dozens of mouthfuls of poisonous blood spit out, and the child's palms slowly turned red.

The old man took out a strip of cloth to bandage it, and took out a black pill for him to take before stopping.

In the deep palace of the capital, the white and beardless man led the swarthy young man up the stairs, the left and right guards did not squint, standing against the cold wind, but never wavered.

The man said slowly, "When we meet the Holy One, you must do what I say, and you must not be rude." ”

The swarthy boy bowed slightly, but did not answer.

When he entered the temple about five feet, he fell on his knees and did not say much.

The man stepped forward slightly, "Your Majesty, the general is here." ”

The man on the throne was dressed in brocade and had a beautiful crown, and there was a handsome young man beside him, dressed in black and dark gold, with eagle eyes.

The man in the fancy costume saw that the son of the beloved general was very strong, and he was very happy in his heart: "Sure enough, it is a tiger father without a dog son, this young man has the potential of a tiger wolf, and he must be the pillar of my dynasty in the future." ”

The swarthy young man didn't speak, and the man was also anxious for him, thinking that he had only been taught.

The handsome young man, seeing that the man lying on his stomach was about the same age as himself, was silent, paced down, ignored the man who was the celebrant, went straight to the young man, leaned down and lifted the young man, and the two were about the same height.

It is very interesting to see the black-faced young man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a square face, and strong arms, but he is not afraid when he sees himself.

The young man turned around and said, "Father, this brother is very good." If he is the king of Longyun, this person is my Zhijinwu. ”

Seeing that the two of them were quite similar, the child was quite ambitious, and said lightly: "Yes." ”

He pulled the swarthy young man out of the hall, but one was happy and the other was speechless.

The celebrant replied, "General Sikong has set off for the border pass to fight fiercely, and his son remains in the palace as a hostage, and Your Majesty has no worries. ”

The man in fine clothes twisted his beard and smiled, but did not speak.

"It's just that this kid is extremely brave, and he practices naked in winter, I'm afraid he will hurt the prince. ”

The man in fancy clothes laughed: "If he can hurt the emperor, it is just to frustrate his sharpness, his eyes are above the top on weekdays, and he can't see outsiders, the sky is outside the sky." The son of the true dragon can't even get over such an obstruction, why should he point his sword at the world. ”

The face of the man in the costume changed slightly: "It's just that most of the sixteen states of Longyun have fallen, and now there are only four cities left, and the customs have to make plans early."

Tomorrow, I will lead the Governor out of the city to reward the soldiers in case of emergency. "Outside the hall, the winter is cold and steep, but I don't know when I will see the spring light.
