Baierguan River

I wake up from a nightmare.

Surrounded by bursts of pungent corpse smell, the place where my fingers touch is wet, I don’t need to look to know that it must be the blood flowing from my body, I slightly raised my hand to wipe off the mud and condensation on my face As soon as I moved, my arm hurt so much that I grinned.

Barely opened my eyes, the cold moonlight made me vaguely see the scene around me.

This is a mass grave, overgrown with miscellaneous trees, corpses piled up into hills exuding a rotten smell, the icy chill pierces into the bone marrow, and the cold wind blows, I want to shiver, but I can’t move at all, I can only accept my fate Lying there looking at the moon in the sky.

Another fifteen, the full moon hangs high, and the dark wind floats.

I don't know how long I lay there, but my chaotic brain finally cleared up.

My name is Tu Jiu, I am fifteen years old, and I am the young master of the Tu family in Xiqiu. As the only descendant of the pure blood of the Tu family, my flesh and bones have the ability to regenerate. The Yaoyin that doctors dream of, unfortunately, after a long time, no one except our Tu family knows what this medicine is.

But even so, it still caused a catastrophe.

None of the hundreds of people in the Tu family were spared, and only I escaped death. I don't know if I can survive tonight.

I tried my best to stretch out my fingers and touched something cold. It was a wine jar. My aunt brewed a strange wine called Zui Sheng Meng Shi. This wine is spicy and mellow, and it is said that it can forget worries. .

half a month ago.

My father called me into the room and told me earnestly and earnestly all night. Basically, he wanted me to practice hard and practice hard, and stop taking my little cousin to the brothel to fight crickets. I asked aggrievedly, what else would I live if I didn’t do these things? Meaningful, and very backbone left with the cricket's body.

At that time, I didn't know that the Tu family who had allowed me to act recklessly and recklessly was already facing a massacre. If I had known then!if……

I can't seem to do anything.

But my father didn't blame me, and gave me a light dagger. He said that I would eventually leave the Tu family and have my own world. The first thing is to protect myself and not trust others.

I don't understand how I left the Tu family, I still have to continue to inherit the unique blood of my Tu family.

And I also did an extremely absurd thing. Before my mother died, she told her that she must find a kind girl to retire to the world and live an ordinary life, but I told her honestly that I was actually a broken sleeve and could not marry. A kind girl can only marry a kind man.

As for why I went to the brothel, it was because the young man I had a crush on was a girl who was obsessed with the brothel recently. I wanted to know what is good about this girl, and I also learned from it.

It's a pity that the old days came to an abrupt end on that bloody night.

The crow flew by, my face was also wet, and the liquid flowed into my chapped lips slightly, it was really bitter, it was my tears, I have cried thousands of times that night, how can I still cry Well, why did that feeling of hopelessness come back a little bit.

I fell asleep.

Damn it this time, I put Aniang's gentle eyes, the drunkenness I brewed with my own hands, the way my father stared at me, and the dagger he gave me, all in the depths of my memory, and I recalled it for a while Is there any problem with the escape route of the little cousin?

Finally, I feel that there is nothing to love about life, and I can rest quietly in this mass grave.

In a daze, there was a cold fragrance lingering around the tip of my nose. At the last moment of losing consciousness, I thought, such a stinking mass grave would be so smelly by the faint fragrance, I must bring it if I have the chance Smoke my house.

For some reason, during this sleep, I have been dreaming of a spotless little gentleman, with his back to me, unable to see his face, but I know he is not the one who likes brothel girls.

After a long time, I can't forget that back.

When I woke up, the sky was slightly bright, my whole body was burning like a fire, and my throat was almost cut like a knife, and I could hardly make a sound, but I moved slightly, and found that I could sit up, not like the numbness that night Weak, unconscious.

Me, alive?

I got this conclusion, and I was still a little happy in my heart. After I got up, I really saw a figure from the back in a blur. The jet-black hair was scattered randomly, and the light-colored clothes were very comfortable. He stood quietly under the moonlight. The moonlight shrouded his body, and his whole body was gilded with a bright color.

The wounds all over my body made me gasp in pain.

He heard the movement here and turned his head. At that moment, I seemed to forget myself.

This is the most handsome young man I have ever seen, just like the moonlight that night, the cool breeze that night, and the intoxicating fragrance that made people addicted to it that night.He walked over, with a warm smile, and was silent for a moment. He said that his name was Su Shisan, and he was a monk who had wandered here from Beimingyun.

I think he is also a cultivator, and he must have come from a world like Beiming.

I don't know how to describe my identity, he is my benefactor, I shouldn't lie to him, but my whole family has been wiped out, the disaster that the name Tujiu will bring to me is devastating.

"My name is Bai Erpang, I live nearby..."

I opened my mouth only to realize that my torn throat could no longer speak clearly, and I could only make an ugly whining sound like a wild animal, which made me feel even more ashamed. I must be in a terrible mess now, escaped from death, and lost all my clothes Dirty and filthy, blood all over his body, dry and wet, the smell of mass graves remained on his body, and he didn't know if he smelled it.

And I rubbed my eyes and found that there is something wrong with my eyes, sometimes I can see clearly, sometimes I can’t see clearly, like a layer of fog that cannot be removed, I will never know at what moment it will become wrong. Clearly, this scares me, but when I think about it carefully, being alive is the luckiest of misfortunes, what qualifications do I have to expect for anything else.

Su Shisan came over with concern and touched my head. I thought of my mother, and shed tears again in a hopeless way. His hands are so warm, I think.

He said that I no longer have a fever, and I will be fine when the wound heals, but the scars on my body may be difficult to remove.It's nothing to worry about, my skin can regenerate without scarring, and as long as I don't really die, this body will never rot.

He also handed me two jars of wine, saying that he saw them by my side, I was very grateful to him, holding the wine and started crying again, he was terrified, probably the first time he saw a man cry like this, he Wiped my tears with her white sleeves, and comforted me for a long time with a nice voice.

I was sobbing so hard that I couldn't help it. It was probably the first time he had seen a big man cry like this.

He hugged me and sang softly: "Xiao Langjun is riding a yellow ox under the ridge of the field, only the clouds above his head follow him... ah... he is going to find his beloved girl... he walks through the high mountains and asks me Wild geese, geese don't talk, they walk across the sea and ask wild mountain flowers, but the flowers don't answer..."

His voice is really nice, and his singing is as gentle as A Niang. It’s been a long time since anyone sang for me...

The long-lost warmth, I really want to be like this forever.

I had enough crying. When I saw everything in front of me again, I realized that this was a cave with firewood burning inside, which was very warm and bright. I was lying on the dry straw with a folded clean clothes on my pillow. It was Su Shisan. clothes with his fragrance on them.

He sat next to me and asked softly: "Why did you appear in the mass grave? Where do you live? If it is convenient, I can take you back. If there is nowhere to go, I will take you back, my family There is a lot of wine, and there is a jar of Huadiao that has been brewed for 500 years."

My heart was moved, but I thought that there was still something to be done, so I shook my head regretfully.

"My house can accommodate a lot of people." He looked at me seriously.

I sighed, but still shook my head, I really want to tell him, I want to find a shop that my aunt left me, she said there are a lot of drunks and dreams, she left it to me, she used to be afraid I didn't drink after I died, so I saved a lot.

It should be a wine shop, but I don't know the name, I only know that it is No.11 in Jiuxiao Street in the city.

He probably doesn’t want to know about this, he’s already done me a great favor, telling him about the store will only make him more troublesome, the massacre of the family must have caused a sensation in Xiqiu, he must have heard about it, and being with me only will make things difficult for him.

Fortunately, he didn't say anything else, but carefully applied some black plaster on me, and wrapped me into a white rice dumpling with gauze. We slept together that night. There is nowhere else to sleep.

We didn't stay in this cave for a long time, and we experienced three nights like this, he would sing that song every night, he is the most beautiful and warm color in my life, just like the maple leaves in the wild on Xiqiu Mountain, red Like Xia.

During the day, a black crow with blood-red eyes flew over. He received a letter. I don’t know what was written in the letter, but he frowned and said nothing. It must be bad news.

I couldn't help thinking that it would be strange to use a crow to deliver a letter, but what good news can this crow bring.

He was silent for a long time, and I jumped to his side with difficulty, trying to say something, but my throat still couldn't make any sound, and I thought I might never be able to speak.

"I'm leaving. I originally wanted to wait for you to recover completely before leaving, but unfortunately I have no chance." He turned his head to look at me and said so.

My heart skipped a beat. I knew he would leave, but I didn't expect it to be so soon. My mind was buzzing. I only knew that he said that he would leave tomorrow morning. Before he left, he would leave some dry food for me to eat. I will change the medicine and tell me how to get out of here, tell me not to be afraid, there are no wolves or bad people on that road.

I just remembered that he never asked me how I was hurt, or what my last name was, where I came from, my voice is hoarse, and there are many ways to tell him, but he never asked .

I secretly admire him, but I also have an unshakable dignity. How can I let a handsome gentleman know that a dirty man is coveting him, touching his feet until he dies? Don't say anything or do nothing, each clean.

At night, he fell asleep.

I sat next to him all night without closing my eyes, the moonlight was bright, I just looked at his face greedily, clear for a while, blurred for a while, writing down one stroke at a time, I think, he will leave tomorrow, maybe, This is the only time we meet in this life.

When it was almost dawn, I found in the corner the drunkenness and dreams left by my mother, and I was about to leave. After I drank these two jars of wine, I was very happy and painful. I don’t know if I fell asleep or passed out. It's been a long time since I woke up.

Su Shisan has already left, and there is an extra letter beside him, which is a road map.

It was probably the morning of the third day. I folded his clothes on the straw and put them away, holding the road map carefully. I thought, I should also leave.

I just swayed down the mountain like this.

That day, maple leaves dyed the entire Xiqiu Mountain red. I never knew that this mountain was so beautiful. When the wind blew over, it floated like burnt clouds.

When I passed the mass grave, I thought of that warm fragrance again, never thought that it would be the nightmare of my life.
