"Second Master Wen also said that you can't look forward and look backwards when doing great things, you can only move forward bravely."
Li Tong can't say what it's like, it's not sad, it's not exciting, it's not joy, it's not sad, it's just that it's all tastes, and it can't be sorted out.
Ning Yuan's words contradicted himself, if he really wanted to think that he would never be defeated, he still needed to say goodbye to his ancestors before leaving, and invited himself to leave the clan This is a heart that must die, knowing that he can't do it.
In the process, he was full of belief in victory.
"You grew up in the capital" Ning Yuan didn't seem willing to continue this topic, and Li Tong didn't want to say anything more, so he nodded hurriedly, "Sort of, when I was two or three years old, I went to the capital with my mother." ” "I've never been out of the farthest place in this capital, where have I been?"
"The farthest place is Qixia Mountain."
Li Tong was in a trance, for more than 50 years in the past, she had been confined to that palace, getting up before dawn, still busy when it was dark, busy with housework, endless heart-piercing things, and endless accounts The farthest place she has ever been to is Qixia Mountain, at that time Jiang Huanzhang was relegated to the north, A-Niang is gone, she has just recovered from a serious illness, skinny, she went to Qixia Mountain alone, why went to Qixia Mountain, she can't remember it.
But late that summer night, she climbed up along the barren mountain road of Qixia Mountain, the craggy and sharp gravel squeezed the soles of her feet, and she felt a heavy pain one after another, she climbed to the top of the mountain, looked up, the starry night sky buckled on her head, incomparably far, and incomparably close, and the cool mountain wind blew the scattered hair on her face, and blew away from her face She stood on the mountain all night, watched the starry sky all night, and blew a cool breeze all night.
A few days later, she returned to Suiningbo Mansion, and she couldn't remember why she went there in the first place and why she went back.
"There is a Qixia Temple on the mountain of Qixia Mountain" Ning Yuan looked very interested, "How is the scenery?"
"If you go in the summer, it's good to see the stars at night."
Li Tong retracted her thoughts, this life is not what it used to be, one day, even if she goes to Qixia Mountain, as before, climbs to Qixia Mountain in the middle of the night to blow the night wind, she must be happy, and everywhere she looks, it is beautiful.
"It's a pity, this summer has passed, let's next summer."
Ning Yuan looked yearning, "It's good to see the stars in Qixia Mountain, it's good to see the moonlight in your garden, and the capital is so good, there are spring and autumn, and the four seasons are distinct." ” "Isn't there a spring and autumn season on the North Third Road?"
Li Tong laughed.
"North 3rd Road, long winter and short summer without spring and autumn, every year in September and October began to snow, began to snow, began to freeze, snow fell once, accumulated a layer, until the next year in April began to thaw and melt snow, the snow melted, at noon can be bare-chested, the summer of the North 3rd Road is not like the capital, the summer of the capital can suffocate people, the summer of the North 3rd Road is high and cool, it is hot, and it is hot and crisp and not stuffy."
Ning Yuan's tone was full of nostalgia, "Winter is better, we have to use ice cellars in this big winter in the capital, we have to use ice cellars in the north three roads, like now, kill pigs and sheep, throw them outside, and after a while, they will freeze into a big ice lump."
One year, the eldest sister had just left home for less than two years, I just knew the situation of the eldest sister, and I was angry with my father and eldest brother, and I took a dozen people with me without telling the family that I was out of the customs for a few days, and I encountered a snowstorm within a few days, and I got lost, and the dry food I brought was almost finished, and I met the largest group of bandits outside the customs."
Ning Yuan suddenly stopped talking, Li Tong waited for a while, and couldn't help asking: "Later, you met bandits, escaped and didn't find a way back home?"
"Of course, I can't sit here and talk to you if I don't get home."
Ning Yuan replied slowly, and Li Tong was choked by his words.
"Those bandits ran into me, it was because they didn't cultivate in their previous life."
Ning Yuan laughed a few times, and then said: "There are more than a hundred bandits in that gang, and although the people I bring are all good hands, they can't get ten from one."
"If you don't run away quickly, you still want to suppress the bandits," Li Tong said in a lost voice.
"It's not for the bandits, I didn't just say it, the dry food we brought is almost finished, and those bandits just robbed a caravan, and they are fat and oily."
Li Tong looked at Ning Yuan speechlessly, Second Master Wen said that he was the biggest bandit on the North Third Road, and this seemed to be right.
"We were lucky, and after a day and a night, we intercepted a dozen people who came to meet us, killed them, cut them into large pieces, and tied a climbing plough and dragged them up."
Ning Yuan met Li Tong's round eyes, pretending not to see, "In the event of a snowstorm, people can't find food, wolves can't find it, we dragged this cart of human flesh, and soon met the wolves, we were in front, the wolves were behind, while running and throwing human flesh into the wolves, the wolves gathered more and more, three days later, thousands of wolves were gathered, and the human flesh was also thrown away, and in the evening, we ran next to the bandits who set up camp, and the hungry wolves surrounded the bandits." ” "You just said that the dry food you brought is almost exhausted, so you guys" Li Tong's mind was full of that sentence: Cutting people into large pieces is like cutting pork, beef and mutton, feeding wolves, is it also feeding people "There are more than a dozen people, there are more than a dozen horses, human flesh feeds wolves, people eat horse meat, where do you want to go" Ning Yuan's face was narrow, Li Tong breathed a long sigh of relief, only to feel that his forehead was full of cold sweat, just didn't eat people.
"Those bandits cut down wolves all night, in the end, the bandits outside the gate, much more powerful than wolves, and killed thousands of wolves.
It's just that the North Third Road can do this, if it's in the area of the capital, it will stink early. ” Li Tong's face was a little blue, "There are no bandits in the capital, and there are not so many wolves. ” "Not really."
Ning Yuan didn't know what to think, and his expression was stunned, "The wind and rain in the capital are soft, and even the knives used to kill people are soft knives." ” "When it comes to using a soft knife, you're not bad at using it."
Li Tong said unceremoniously, Ning Yuan's two eyebrows raised together, and immediately fell again, his eyebrows opened and smiled, "I think so too, a smart person like me, a soft knife is still used as a hard knife."
"It's getting late, you should go back."
Li Tong looked at the small red clay furnace in the corner of the flower hall and reminded with a smile.
"It's not too early."
Ning Yuan answered, and stood up lazily, "I didn't say a few words, it's not too early, the deceased is like Sifu, I'm gone, I'll come to you again if I have something." ” "Okay."
Li Tong stood up, tightened his cloak, and went straight down the steps.
Ning Yuan jumped out of the flower hall, stood in the shadow of a corner, watched Li Tong enter the moon cave door, stayed for a moment, looked up at the half moon in the sky, looked at it for a while, lowered his head, slowly shook his neck a few times, sighed, put his hands behind his back, and staggered towards the corner gate
