The night is too long, there is no end to the long, the road traveled is too short, and the short ones are even squeezed out of the memories. The memories have always been there, but some people don't want to think about it, maybe they still have some expectations for the future!

Nights without moonlight are rare in the land of border cities, everything is still on the battlefield, those who should breathe are still breathing, and fate is always in the hands of a few.

In the dark courtyard, there was no movement except for the heavy snort and ticking sound, and Bian Long still murmured in his dreams from time to time, and he couldn't hear what he was talking about, but it was not difficult to imagine that even if he was drunk, he still cared about the border city, but it was just imagination, after all, some things can only be done by heroes, including death, which can only be exclusive to heroes.

The thatched courtyard is still lit up, the people inside should not have slept yet, next to the stone table in the small courtyard, Lan Lin sat there and stared at the sky, there was no moonlight, no stars, what was there to hope for?

The fire swayed in the breeze, but it never went out, and it was stubborn, because it knew someone needed light, so it wouldn't go out.

Lan Lin's eyes were a little red and swollen, in addition to exhaustion, there should be tears in it, indeed she is undoubtedly the person in the world who should shed tears.

I looked at it for a long, long time, until Wen Nan's shout suddenly sounded in the room: "Mother, father, ......"

The hurried shouts disappeared quickly, this should be Wen Nan's nightmare, Lan Lin did not enter the house to comfort, just looked at Wen Nan's room blankly and said: "Child, it is our fault that you were born in the rivers and lakes, but the mistake has happened, no matter whether the road in the future is good or bad, you have to learn to go alone, after all, your mother and father can't accompany you for a lifetime!"

With that, Lan Lin stood up and looked at the night sky, her tears falling again, women usually only shed tears when they were desperate, but what else could they do but cry?

The nights are too long, the sleeplessness is not enough, and the separation of people is undoubtedly the three most maddening things in the world.

In the end, Lan Lin decided to do something, she picked up the lantern and walked towards the outside of the small courtyard, she was going to look for her husband, but where should she look for it?

In the empty and silent street, a thin and scattered figure, a lantern swaying from side to side, they had no direction, they only knew that walking might make them feel more at ease.

When he suddenly passed by an inn, the shopkeeper was tidying up at the door and preparing to close, and Lan Lin was recognized by the shopkeeper at a glance.

The shopkeeper grabbed Lan Lin and asked, "Isn't this Lan Lin girl, why is she alone on the street so late?"

Lan Lin looked at the shopkeeper with teary eyes and asked, "Boss, my husband is gone, have you seen him?"

The shopkeeper thought for a while and said, "I haven't seen it, but during the day, Wen Daxia was asking the border city lord's residence, and I thought that he might be able to find him." ”

After asking where Bian Long lived, Lan Lin hurried over.

Looking at the back of Lan Lin leaving, the shopkeeper smiled helplessly: "How many crazy children in time, love to the depths of hunger and hunger, can't sleep at night, hey! hey!"

After sighing again and again, the shopkeeper turned back and was busy with his own affairs, there is nothing wrong with living people living like this, and other people's affairs can be managed, and if they can't, forget it.

According to the direction pointed by the shopkeeper, Lan Lin still found Bian Long's residence, and walked forward to look at the dark compound, Lan Lin hesitated and she thought, "It's so quiet inside, aren't they there?"

In the end, Lan Lin still knocked on the door with a hint of luck, and after a few "knock knocks", Bian Long, who was in a drunken dream, was also awakened, and looked at the darkness around him.

Bian Long touched the back of his head and shouted softly, "Brother Wen, Brother Wen, Brother Wen, are you there?"

But no one responded, Bian Long stood up and staggered towards the door, it seemed that the wine had not fully awakened, and Bian Long's consciousness was still a little weak and he didn't think too much.

Opening the door and looking at Lan Lin's lost and desolate eyes, Bian Long asked with a blank face, "Miss Lan Lin, is there anything wrong with you at such a late hour?"

Lan Lin said weakly: "Brother Bian Long, is Brother Wen not here with you?"

Bian Long said: "No, I'm alone here!"

Hearing such an answer, Lan Lin fell silent for a while, she didn't know how to continue, and she didn't dare to think about it anymore?

From between the lines of Lan Lin's words, Bian Long seemed to be able to feel a little wrong, thinking about the strange words that Wen Yunfeng said to him when he came to his home during the day, and then thinking about Wen Yunfeng's whereabouts now, Bian Long probably already had an assumption in his heart.

Bian Long asked again, "Brother Wen didn't come home?"

Lan Lin choked up and said, "No, he never came back after he went out last night, and he has been sleepless all night during this time, and he keeps counting the days." ”

Bian Long realized that things had changed, he could probably guess what Wen Yunfeng was doing, and even coming home in the afternoon to get drunk was premeditated.

Bian Long frowned and shouted, "Not good! Brother Wen must have gone to the Qing army camp alone." ”

This news undoubtedly gave Lan Lin a blow to the head, although she didn't know much about the other party's strength, but she could vaguely feel that there must be a way to go and no return.

With that, Bian Long took Lan Lin and hurriedly ran in the direction of Xicheng Tower.

Coming to the foot of Xicheng Tower, maybe it was a coincidence, or maybe it should have been, they met the old man of the Beigu Hero Building.

Seeing Bian Long and Lan Lin, the old man was not surprised, and said with a smile: "You are finally here!"

Before Bian Long could speak, Lan Lin said anxiously: "I know you, you are the old man in the Beigu Hero Building, my husband must have something to do with you if he said goodbye this time, what did you tell him to say?"

The old man smiled and said: "Girl, don't question me, Wen Yunfeng chose this path because he was willing, and this road must be walked by someone, he is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate, this world always needs someone to sacrifice, I hope you can see through this impermanent life." ”

At this moment, Lan Lin could no longer suppress the emotions in his heart, and cried hoarsely: "That's right, this world always needs someone to sacrifice, but why must it be Wen Yunfeng? He left the Central Plains, went to the border city, and buried the sword, in order to find a pure land, find a secluded and peaceful life, why do you want to impose all this on him?"

Bian Long comforted on the side: "Miss Lanlin, don't get excited first, Brother Wen's life will definitely be fine." ”

Bian Long looked at the old man again and asked, "Senior, can you tell me what kind of road this is?"

The old man looked at the calm night sky and said calmly: "If you want to restore the peace of the border city for ten years, there is only one way to burn the grain and grass of the Qing army, and the only person who can complete this here and in this world is Wen Yunfeng." ”

After listening to the old man's words, Bian Long lowered his head quietly, he didn't know what to say? He wanted to cry but couldn't, when a man wanted to shed tears for another man, maybe it was only when he traded his life.

Lan Lin asked weakly: "Senior, I don't care about the fate of the border city, I don't care who is in charge of the world, I don't care about war and bloodshed, I just need you to tell me Wen Yunfeng that he can still come back?"

Faced with the question of Lan Lin, the old man was finally silent, this is undoubtedly the most difficult question he has ever faced in his life, the answer is not difficult either can or can't, but which one should the old man choose?

After being silent for a long time, the old man finally spoke: "Let's go up to the city tower and wait!"

This should be regarded as the answer given by the old man, except for Lan Lin, almost no one in the world believes that Wen Yunfeng can come back, but because some people believe it, even if it is a person who believes it, there is still a place to look forward to in this world, and it is not too desperate.

The three of them waited to go up to the city tower and looked at the end of the yellow sand under the darkness of the night.

That sword, that bloody sword, that person, that person with affection and righteousness, is driving on the road of no return not far ahead, and all they can do is wait.
