last night suddenly dreamed of mountains and rivers

It was snowing endlessly all over the sky, not like June at all.The large and small rivers in the ancient Qiang have already floated a thin layer of ice.

Although the Han family army has suffered countless casualties, there are still remnants of soldiers.Lan Jiansu didn't dare let them find out, so she held her breath and hid in the cold water.Swim across the Neihai Lake and land on the shore.Every blood vessel in Lan Jiansu's body seemed to be frozen. He avoided the Han family general and walked on the bank for a while. After warming up, he then crossed from Neihai Lake to the branch of Xiping River and crossed to Xiping City.

After less than half a day of silence, Feng's army bombarded the remaining city gates occupied by Han's army.Thick smoke covered the sky like a thick black quilt, and it was no longer clear whether the sky was dark or the day was completely covered by the black smoke.

With his head half floating on the icy water, Lan Jiansu could see the gate of Xiping city in the distance.The city wall has been blown to pieces by the artillery, and fires are burning everywhere, and the pungent burning smell fills the air.The flag of the Korean army slanted on the city wall was being swallowed by flames.

Xiping City, which is still quiet during the day, is now devastated and has become a "ghost city" standing on the ground.

Lan Jiansu stepped on the hot scorched earth and walked into the city.The smell of burnt meat gathers in the nose.

There were many corpses of Han Jiajun lying on the ground, and the corpses were on fire.There are also many civilians.Some civilians were still trying to climb out of the collapsed houses before they died.

"Han Qili? Han Qili!" Lan Jiansu shouted a few times.No one answered, and the echo echoed in the ruined city.

After a while, he heard the cry of a child.

In a bombed-out street, a woman whose face has been bombed beyond recognition covers a child.Children who look no more than three years old can already feel the grief of losing their mother.

Lan Jiansu ran over, rescued the child from under his mother's body, and ran back to the river outside the city.

There is a large ferry on the river, which was unexpectedly not affected by the shells and can still be used.He hid the child in the cabin and fed some water before entering the city again.

While looking for Han Qili, Lan Jiansu rescued several surviving disabled people one after another, and he dragged anyone who was alive back to the boat.It's really a serious injury, so simply treat the wound for others.The seriously injured and the lightly injured are placed in two cabins, and men, women and children are placed in two cabins.Yuemo saved twenty or thirty people, including a wounded general of the Han family army.

The wounded general told him that before the artillery attack, Han Qili was training in the school grounds.Lan Jiansu asked him the direction of the school grounds, and immediately rushed to the school grounds after sending him on board.

On the school grounds, the corpses of the soldiers were either rotten or missing hands and feet, one carrion piled up on top of another carrion, and as far as the eye could see, there was no survivor.

"Han Qili! Han Qili!" Lan Jiansu yelled his name and moved the broken bodies away one by one.

"Uh..." The man's hoarse moan came from under the collapsed giant drum.

Lan Jiansu immediately ran over and pushed the giant drum away with all his strength.

Lan Jiansu couldn't forget the red mole behind his ear for a man covered in dust and blood under the giant drum.

He put Han Qili on his back, and hurried out of the city.

Heavy snow covered the scorched earth and dead bodies, and the desolate road was black and white in front of my eyes, as if it had no end.

The person on the back moved.He asked with difficulty and weakness: "...Second Young Master, am I dreaming?"

Lan Jiansu gasped for breath, rolling mist in the air: "Yeah, it's a nightmare. When you wake up, this nightmare will be gone."

Han Qili said: "No, this is not a nightmare, I saw you, this is not a nightmare."

Lan Jiansu tried her best to move forward and didn't have time to talk.

Han Qili's warm breath hit his neck, and suddenly, the warm liquid also wet his neck.Gradually, a burst of sobbing came out intermittently in Lan Jiansu's ear.

Han Qili cried in pain on his back, the cry was the pain of being pierced through the heart.

Bringing Han Qili onto the boat, Lan Jiansu pulled the anchor and sailed northward.

The imperial army will not come in for the time being, they have to leave quickly at this time.

The boat was getting farther and farther away from Xiping City, and also farther away from the ancient Qiang.

After confirming that he was in a safe place, Lan Jiansu heaved a sigh of relief, picked up the injured in the cabin, and healed them one by one.Some were so badly injured that they died halfway through.Fearing that the rotten corpse would infect other wounded, they had to throw it into the river.

From time to time, there was the sound of gunfire from the ancient Qiang. Every time it came, the people in the cabin would yell and the children would cry.But after listening to it a few times, these shouts gradually faded away, as if they were used to it.

Han Qili stood on the deck, watching the ancient Qiang under fire from afar.Bandages were wrapped around his shoulders, and although the wound on his cheek had stopped bleeding, there was still a little pus dripping down.

After treating the last injured person's wound, Lan Jiansu wiped off the blood on his hands and came to Han Qili's side.

The two of them stood silently, and the atmosphere between them was quite heavy, as if saying a word would increase the heavy weight.

"General Han, you don't...don't be too sad. Before entering Xiping, I saw a few boats. When Xiping was attacked, the generals of other cities had already led the people in the city to flee by boat. In addition, just now you released With the Cloud Piercing Arrow, the rest of the Han family army must have escaped in time and won't stay in the city to fight to the death." Lan Jiansu comforted.

The flames in the distance flickered in Han Qili's eyes.After a long time, he said faintly: "I have expected to end up like today. I just didn't expect that the price would be so heavy."

"General, I have something I want to ask."

"Do you want to ask me, why do you want to oppose?"

Lan Jiansu acquiesced.

Han Qili said: "That year at the Northwest Pass, I read the letter you gave me before you left. I carefully considered the pros and cons of your letter, and finally dispelled the idea of ​​going against the court. However, one day, I led troops to clear out the bandits who sneaked into the border from outside the border, but I accidentally separated from my subordinates on the way back to the camp. Suddenly, I came across a peach blossom forest, hundreds of steps across the bank, there were no miscellaneous trees in it, and the grass was delicious..."

Lan Jiansu interrupted him: "Wait, why did you suddenly memorize "Peach Blossom Spring"?" The fear of being dominated by junior high school Chinese textbooks attacked Lan Jiansu violently, making his pupils vibrate.

Han Qili said indifferently: "I couldn't think of a suitable description at the moment, so I had to describe it like this. Anyway, it's almost like this place.

"It's a paradise, plugged into the south of the Yangtze River." Han Qili said, "I happened to be injured at the time, an old doctor bandaged the wound for me, and let me have dinner. The villagers outside the house who had finished plowing the fields also came when they passed by. We ate together, talked and laughed with each other, and had a great time. At that time, I thought, I should listen to you. One day I will be discharged and return to the field, or... I can also live that kind of life with you.

"After that, I left there, went back to the barracks, and told this matter to an elderly veteran in the camp. I said that there really is a paradise in this world, and I just hope that no one can disturb them. The veteran told me Said, "General, the place where you got lost today is the former village of Lousang Kingdom. It was massacred by the imperial army back then. How can there be anyone else?" I thought, how can there be peach forests and Jiangnan landscapes in Xibeiguan? That place is a village of the dead. I feel chills on my back, but I still don’t want to believe it.

"The next day, I went to that place again. Sure enough, I couldn't find the village again. I saw blood-red sand all over the ground, and I was very impressed with a few dead trees. They were planted next to the old doctor's house. I have heard people say that the blood of Lousang people will not turn black, and the sand was dyed red when the Feng army slaughtered the village. And the traces of herbs on my wound are gone. I recovered quickly and well. It can be seen that the meeting with the old doctor was not my hallucination. I thought they let me in because they had something to tell me. But I didn’t know what they were going to tell me at the time.

"I sent people to search there for about four or five days. Fifteen people went there, and only five came back alive. The others died inexplicably not long after entering the village. Those who came back alive said that they dug up the tomb of a thousand people there. There is a human skull on each tombstone. Those tombs are arranged in a formation, and they drew the formation. I asked someone who is good at Xuanfa in the Northwest Pass to analyze it. The evil dynasty of blood will be cursed by this evil curse plate forever. All the innocent people in Dafeng are in this evil curse plate. The dead souls of Lou Sang Kingdom are cursing Dafeng with deep hostility and resentment. At first, it may not hurt or itch, but in the future, these resentments will accumulate more and more on the curse plate, Da Feng will continue to suffer from natural disasters, and all those who die will be innocent people, and the wicked will last forever. So I asked him, is there a way to resolve it?' The man said, 'Change the government'. I asked again, 'What else'? The man said, 'Take the heads of 15 Dafeng people and sacrifice them to the village'.

"If you want to change the government, you have to fight. In a war, more than 3000 Dafeng people will die. But let alone killing [-] people indiscriminately, I can't do it. I have long been concerned about Dafeng killing my father." Hate, plus contempt for what the court did before. Bad news came from Beijing. My mother missed her father too much and died of illness at home. I never saw my mother for the last time, and my heart was full of grief and hatred. Therefore, I finally decided to rebel."
