Chapter 45: Separation
"The child is incompetent, so please condemn the father. ”
Liu Li's eyes showed a trace of anger, mixed with a trace of compassion in the anger, and said: "In order to lay down this thousands of miles of land, I spent twenty years, and now it is about to be destroyed. ”
With his hands outstretched and his head raised, Liu Li looked up at the top of the hall.
Looking up at the roof of the hall, the pattern looming in the dim light.
It was an oil painting.
There is a mountain peak, a sunset, and a man.
The setting sun shines on the mountain peaks.
Man stands on the peak.
Stand in the sunset.
"I didn't fight for myself in this land, I fought for you, for your mother, for your grandfather, and for your grandmother. ”
Liu Li lowered his hands and pursed his lips.
Then, with his right hand, Liu Li grasped the hilt of the long sword hanging on the left side of his waist.
Liu Li pulled out his long sword.
The clear sound of the sword is like the sound of the golden string on the guzheng when it breaks.
The aftermath lingered in the gloomy lobby.
Liu Li walked down the high platform where the lion seat was placed and walked down the marble staircase.
He walked past Liu Heng's side.
Walked to the hall door.
Walked out of the hall.
Liu Heng turned his head and stared at his father.
Stared at Liu Li's back as he walked towards the door.
"You have lost your own things, and I cannot condemn you. ”
The plain words and hoarse voice were transmitted to Liu Heng's ears.
It was as if there was an invisible giant hand grabbing Liu Heng's viscera.
Let Liu Heng be cut off.
Let Liu Heng cry bitterly.
Walking out of the hall door and onto the wide street, Liu Li's old pale face was covered with a layer of frost.
The frost is very thin, but it does not disperse.
"To the west of Caoyun County, there is a barbarian mountain, there are barbarians on the mountain, their chief has some friendship with me, if you go to him, he should not refuse. ”
Hearing this, Liu Heng stopped crying and wiped the tears on his face with the back of his hand.
Then, Liu Heng stood up from the ground, turned around and ran towards the hall door.
ran to Liu Li.
Liu Heng ran out of the hall and ran behind Liu Li.
He fell to his knees again.
Kneeling beside Liu Li.
"What about my father, is he coming with me?"
Liu Heng's eyes overflowed with tears, and all the scenes became blurred.
But he could still see the figure next to him as if it were reflected in the water.
Seeing the wrinkled, like the old face covered with frost and snow, that look of determination.
Therefore, his tear-stained face revealed a deep sincerity.
However, the rock-like look on Liu Li's face did not slow down for a moment.
Only on those faces, in the depths of his eyes, there was a faint look of unbearable.
"The only thing I can do is stay here and buy you time. ”
"Father!" Liu Hengda roared, rushing towards Liu Li.
He opened his hands and hugged Liu Li.
hugged Liu Li's legs.
He hugged the air.
The palm of his right hand touched only the corner of the cloak.
Then, Liu Heng, who was grief-stricken, watched the purple cloth on the cloak slip out of his hand.
It's like running water between your fingers.
In the end, Liu Heng slammed his head on the ground against Liu Li's fading back.
The suppressed tears turned into a flood that burst the embankment at this time, and with the hoarse wails and unstoppable convulsions around him, he vented the grief in Liu Heng's heart at this time.
He twitched for a long time.
He cried for a long time.
Finally, he straightened up and looked in the direction of Liu Li's departure.
Looking out in the direction of the setting sun.
The tears in his eyes were still sliding down the corners of his eyes.
But he had stopped crying.
He stopped crying.
Then, in the glow of the setting sun, he stood up.
He turned around and walked out into the street.
He walked to the west of the county.
Walked to the west gate of the county seat.
Pember stood at the gate with the reins in hand, his brown steed hanging his neck beside Pember, his fluffy sideburns scattered in the air, trembling in the wind.
Between the sideburns, there are many transparent water droplets.
Liu Heng walked in front of Peng Bo and walked in front of the horse.
Reaching out and pulling the reins from Peng Bo's hand, Liu Heng pulled the horse in front of him.
"Pember, I'm tired. ”
Liu Heng smiled at Peng Bo, turned over and sat on horseback. "Young master, the guards in the county will be taken to the battlefield by the county lord, and I will also serve the lord. “
Peng Bo took out an envelope from the inside of the brocade robe, held it with both hands, and held it in front of Liu Heng.
"The road to Manshan is steep and dangerous, and the young master walks alone, so be careful in everything. ”
Hearing this, Liu Heng nodded and took the envelope handed to him.
"My father is old, and he has no eyes on the battlefield, so I hope that Peng Bo will take care of it. ”
"Don't worry, the young master, the villain will fight for his life, and he will also protect the safety of the lord. ”
raised his head, looked at Liu Heng sitting on horseback, and looked at Liu Heng's cheeks, which were still clear tears.
There was a hint of confusion on Pember's face.
"The barbarians on the barbarian mountain, the population is only a few thousand, the barbarians are unclothed, it is difficult to survive, they work all day but can only get food for their stomachs, with the friendship between the lord and the chief for so many years, the chief should take in the young master, but the young master, it is not Caoyun County, everything must be low-key. ”
"I know, I will hide incognito and hide in the mountains for the rest of my life. ”
After speaking, his legs clamped the horse's belly hard, and Liu Heng rushed out of the city gate.
Brown horses galloped across the edge of the fields and in the grass.
The horses were running fast.
Extremely fast.
Outside the county, in the fields surrounding the lake, ten women were working in it.
They were on the ground carefully sifting through the seedlings that had frozen in the bitter cold.
They are very carefully selected.
So, when they suddenly looked up at the sound of horses' hooves in their ears.
All they could see was the smoke and dust that was kicked up all the way.
In the shack area, Yougen, holding a porcelain bowl, is sitting on the edge of the earthen wall.
Hang your legs in the air at will.
Looking at the bowl in his hand, the soup that was as light as water, and looking at the little white egg flowers in the soup, Yougen's face showed a satisfied look.
Lifting the bowl, there is a bite of a sitting.
Chewing on the white egg flower in his mouth, Yougen looked up at the sky with a smile.
He looked at the clouds floating in the clear blue sky.
He was smiling.
The stone brain took the bowl and walked over to the root.
He looked at the smiling Arigen.
He laughed too.
While smiling, he said, "Yougen, Lao Wang pulled the cart over today." ”
"Oh. ”
"Yougen, go meet him. ”
Hearing this, Yougen frowned and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"
"Just check it out. ”
One jumped off the earthen wall and followed the naphtha into the depths of the shack area.
They traverse the narrow aisles of the house.
They crossed the housing estate.
The old king pulled the reins, led the four horses, and stood at the intersection.
The carriage, which usually carries wheat husks, is empty at this time.
