"Worried about your life?"

Tuoba Ningyuan frowned, and Qi Xiaojuan on the side couldn't help asking.

"Dad, isn't Jingnan Town in the Northern Regions?"

"Northern Regions?" Tuoba Ningyuan was confused, not knowing what the father and daughter were talking about.

"Alas, good daughter, you didn't go to the market last time, Daddy, I heard that the area of Jingnan Town has been captured by the Southern Regions, and many people have died. ”

Qi Yun poured another glass of wine and said.

"Excuse me, sir, what are the places in the Northern Regions and the Southern Regions?" Tuoba Ning Yuan really couldn't help but ask.

"This?"

Qi Yun didn't answer for a while. "Don't you know where this is?"

Tuoba Ning Yuan froze for a moment, and then shook his head, only then did he realize that although Uncle Mei had taught him countless knowledge, he had never told himself what the situation in the outside world was. But after thinking about it, Uncle Mei has been injured for many years, and he relies on self-sufficiency for food and clothing, how can he know about the outside world?

"It's a miracle, and even so, I'll tell you, and it's all right. Qi Yun didn't continue to ask, and said with another bite of food.

"Sir, please. Tuoba Ningyuan nodded slightly.

"There are two regions in the north and south of this area, and this is the northern region. Qi Yun said, "These two domains are connected to each other, and they were originally relatively peaceful, but about twenty years ago, a war broke out between the northern and southern regions, and it has never ended. ”

"If you were originally safe, how could you suddenly come to fight?" Tuoba Ning Yuan asked.

"I don't know the specific situation, I only know that the Southern Regions suddenly changed hands, and the previous Southern Regions royal family was designated as a curse from heaven, which must be destroyed completely, otherwise it will lead to disasters in heaven and earth, and the disaster will be endless. Qi Yun said. "The royal family of the Southern Regions was destroyed because of this, and even a lot of outsiders were involved, and the surname of that line was ......"

"Tuoba?" Tuoba Ning Yuan frowned.

"Yes. Qi Yun nodded and said, "It's your surname, little brother." ”

Tuoba Ning Yuan listened, reached out and touched the jade pendant in his arms, and secretly said in his heart If what Orion said is true, then his origin is related to this?

"But there is no need to panic about this, after all, it is just a surname, and then be vigilant, and make up a name at will to prevaricate the past. When Orion saw Tuoba Ningyuan's appearance, he thought that he was worried about his surname, so he comforted.

"Curse from the sky......" Tuoba Ning Yuan muttered to himself, and after a moment, he asked Qi Yun, "Sir, aren't you afraid that I will really bring the curse?"

"This?"

This question was abrupt, Qi Yun couldn't help frowning when he heard it, and Qi Xiaojuan on the side looked at Tuoba Ning Yuan's eyes with doubts.

"If everyone believes it, why don't you believe it?" Tuoba Ningyuan asked again, he said seriously, without the slightest hint of joking.

"Huh. But Qi Yun laughed, with a little bitterness in his laughter, "If there is really a curse in this world, it has already been fulfilled on me." ”

Qi Yun didn't wait for Tuoba Ningyuan to ask again, then sighed and continued.

"Little brother, I won't tell you, I joined the battlefield when I was young, and I have been fighting for more than ten years. Qi Yun said, raising the wine glass in front of his eyes and looking at his hands, "My hands have already been stained with the blood of many people, and I am also in a high position because of this military exploit." ”

When Qi Yun said this, the hand holding the cup was already trembling.

"I have a house, I have gold and silver, but so what, all I face is endless killing, and this sin will be repaid on my lover. Qi Yun raised his head and drank the wine in the cup, and continued.

"At that time, I wanted to go to the front line, but Juan'er's mother was already pregnant with Juan'er, so she begged me not to leave, but the military order is like a mountain, how to change the difference? I left ruthlessly, but when I came back a year later, the first news I heard was that my lover died in childbirth. ”

Speaking of this, Qi Yun's tone was sad, mixed with a choked voice.

"If you say curse, this is a curse. Qi Yun said, "The name and surname of a person are not their own choice, whether it is King Zhang, Li Zhao, King Zhou, Wu and Zheng, it was originally used as a symbol to distinguish people, if this is determined to be a disaster, it is not a big joke in the world." ”

Qi Yun said, poured a glass of wine for Tuoba Ning Yuan, and signaled to Qi Xiaojuan that he was fine.

"After that, I didn't want to see the rivers and lakes again, so I burned down the house and took Juan'er to live in seclusion here, but I didn't want to leave some money at that time, and I was tired of suffering over the years. ”

"Daddy...... You've drunk too much. Seeing Qi Yun like this, Qi Xiaojuan couldn't help but feel distressed and told him to stop drinking.

"It's okay, it's okay. Qi Yun waved his hand and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, "I just taught the little brother to see the jokes, old things, don't mention it." ”

"Thank you. Tuoba Ningyuan didn't know how to drink, but for some reason, he actually drank all the wine in the cup, his intuition was full of spicy, and his mouth was like fire, "I just don't know if I can ask about it again?"

"Say it. Qi Yun nodded.

"Why does Sir believe in my character?" asked Tuoba Ningyuan. "What if I have evil intentions and harm you?"

"You are a person!" Qi Xiaojuan said in a daze when she saw that Tuoba Ningyuan's two questions were sharp and abnormal.

"It doesn't matter, if you can ask like this, it is enough to see that you are pure-minded, little brother. Qi Yun smiled and added another glass of wine to Tuoba Ningyuan, "If you really need an answer, it is that although your eyes are different, little brother, your eyes are clear, and you are definitely not a traitor and a vicious person who can pretend to do it, but the little brother has a long way to go, so you have to beware of someone calculating." ”

"Thank you, sir, for telling me. Tuoba Ningyuan said. "I'll be careful, but I don't know who is in charge of the Southern Regions now?"

"The Southern Regions are orthodox, and Wu Zun is now the master of the Southern Regions. Qi Xiaojuan said on the side.

"Wuzun ......" Tuoba Ningyuan remembered this name, and Xindao had one more person on his list of enemies.

"It's a pity that the Northern Regions are weak, there are many defeats and few victories, and the lord of the Zongfu has many good intentions, how can he defeat the army of the tiger and wolf. Qi Yun continued Qi Xiaojuan's words.

At this time, it was getting late, Qi Yun stood up, the three of them cleaned up the tables and chairs, and took off the bedside cover.

"Today, I wronged my little brother and I, an old man, to squeeze in for a night. Qi Yun said.

"I'm tired. Tuoba Ningyuan thanked, and after a while, the three of them finished washing up and went to bed.

Tuoba Ning Yuan slept in his clothes, his eyes were facing the sky, and when he saw the full moon on the horizon, he couldn't help but miss it in his heart. He didn't know where he had gone, and he didn't expect that his first night after going down the mountain would be so comfortable.

The next morning, when the first rays of morning light passed through the treetops, Tuoba Ningyuan woke up, and dawn was the habit he had been used to for many years.

He was about to get up, but he remembered that the master here might still be asleep, but he turned his head to see that Qi Yun was no longer in bed.

"Little brother, you're awake. ”

Tuoba Ning Yuan walked out of the door, and saw Qi Yun's father and daughter pushing a cart of animal skins, not knowing where to transport them, Qi Yun saw that Tuoba Ning Yuan had woken up, so he said hello.

"Hmm. Tuoba Ningyuan nodded, walked over and asked, "Sir, what are you doing here?"

"We're going to the market. Qi Xiaojuan replied.

"Yes, today is the day of the market, and I want to sell these hides for some money. Qi Yun said, "Little brother, you can continue to hurry, or spend a few more days, it's okay." ”

"No, it's too much trouble to get away with it. Tuoba Ningyuan said, he saw that the car was quite heavy, so he wanted to take it. "I'll help you push the cart. ”

"I can't do it, I can't help it, I'll just come, this old bone can still be pushed. ”

The two gave in several times, but the car in Qiyun Dudao was heavy and the mountain road was rugged, so Tuoba Ningyuan had to give up.

"If my dad is tired, you can help again, big brother. ”

On the side, Qi Xiaojuan had already packed up the application and said to the two.

"Dad, let's go now, lest it be too late and there will be no one to sell. ”

"Good. Qi Yun agreed, pushed up the wooden cart, and Tuoba Ning Yuan and Qi Xiaojuan on both sides followed forward.

At this time, the mountains and forests were silent, only a few birdsong sounded out of nowhere, Tuoba Ningyuan felt that the moisture between his breaths was very heavy, and he didn't know if it had rained lightly yesterday.

"Beyond this forest, there is a big road. When she walked away like this, Qi Xiaojuan pointed to the woods in front of her and said to Tuoba Ningyuan.

"Well, thank you. Tuoba Ning Yuan nodded, and the three of them walked for a while, but Qi Yun in front of them suddenly stopped.

"Oops. ”

Tuoba Ning Yuan snorted in pain when he saw Qi Yun, then he bent down and slowly put the cart down, and kept hammering his back with his hand.

"Dad!" Seeing this, Qi Xiaojuan hurriedly ran over and helped Qi Yun to the side and sat down. "Is your back hurting again?"

"Alas. Qi Yun was supported by his daughter to sit down, wiped the sweat on his forehead, gasped and said, "Yes, it doesn't look like it's okay to be old, haha." ”

At this time, Tuoba Ningyuan walked to the front of the cart and said to the father and daughter.

"I'll do the rest. ”

"That's hard work. This time, Qi Yun didn't insist anymore, and Qi Xiaojuan on the side also nodded at Tuoba Ningyuan. "Thank you for your hard work, Brother Tuoba. ”

"It's just a gesture. Tuoba Ningyuan rolled up his sleeves and was about to push the cart, when a gust of mountain wind blew, causing the leaves to shake and rustle.

"Huh?" Tuoba Ning Yuan stopped moving, his eyes scanned the surroundings, and he seemed to be facing a great enemy.

"Brother Tuoba, it's okay, there are often such voices in the woods. Qi Xiaojuan couldn't help but laugh when she saw that Tuoba Ning Yuan was scared nervously by a gust of mountain wind, but as soon as the words came out, she heard an abnormal sound, which made her feel creepy.

"Hiss, hiss......"

Then there was a burst of fishy smell, Qi Xiaojuan turned her head to see that it was a snake crawling along the dead wood towards her wrist.

The snake's whole body is pitch black, but the scales are long with several circles of colorful stripes, like a ribbon one by one, separating its entire body, it looks very weird, but the most striking thing is its letter that keeps spitting in its mouth, and the fork at the tip is almost touching Qi Xiaojuan's fingers.

"Ahh

This frightened the girl so much that she jumped up like an electric shock, trying to avoid the terrible creature, but what she didn't expect was that the snake jumped up with her, not only jumping, but also showing its sharp fangs, and was about to bite the girl's jade-like wrist.

Such a colorful snake is undoubtedly poisonous, and I am afraid that the poison will never be weak, so it will never be fun to be bitten by it.

Qi Yun also found this strange snake on the side, he saw that his daughter was in danger, so he hurriedly reached out and grabbed the tail of the strange snake, he had made up his mind, he fought to his death, and he must not let his daughter be injured.

But he was still a step slower, and when he saw the poisonous snake twist dexterously in the air, he curled up his entire body, causing Qi Yun to catch the air.

"Juan'er!" Qi Yun's roar was already desperate, he could only watch the tragedy happen, and see his daughter leave him without any preparation like his wife had done.

At this moment, I saw Tuoba Ning Yuan and moved!
