Thousands of Mountains

During the days when Shen Cang was not around, Yin Cen experienced a feeling he had never had before. He used to be naked and unconcerned, but now he sees that the mountains are blocked and the water is boring. , Dancing with the knife until his clothes were wet with sweat was useless, the green mountain blade slashed across the candle, a candle flame jumped on the tip of the knife, Yun's knife formula had been memorized in his heart, Yin Cen was leaping and flying in the room, his figure was so light that it was almost unbelievable Wen, when it fell steadily, the candle was still shining, Yin Cen smiled triumphantly, and said in a loud voice, "Such a stable knife..."

Suddenly, there was no one behind him, and those eyes that loved to mock, reprimand and occasionally show appreciation were no longer there, Yin Cen was stunned for a moment, then sat silently on the floor.

This day is so difficult.

Every day that passes, Yin Cen cuts off half a candle in the indoor court, and now a whole row has been densely poured. He didn't count it, he just felt that the time was really too long, and Chaha Town has changed back to the past. In the dark pool, no splash can be seen even after tossing hard.

Half a month has passed, and Shen Cang has not returned.

Yin Cen was faintly restless, and suddenly had a desperate urge to take a cut of plums, and take the green mountain blade to find the person who promised him.

Anxious day by day, Yin Cen fell into a sense of helplessness, and his whole body was depressed.

A new wine shop and restaurant opened across the street, and the waiter hospitablely yelled, "Newly arrived in Yuhu Bing, come and have a taste."

Yin Cen once heard that Yuhu Bing is a famous wine produced in Tianshan Mountains, and it can be produced in only a short month of summer in a year. I don't know how the shop opposite can get this world famous wine. Yin Cen was thinking now, thinking that Shen Cang still kept Give him the money, and quickly go over to take out the money and take two pots, and go straight to the Pingjing school grounds.

There was no one around, the setting sun hangs wearily on the side of Qilian Mountain, Yin Cen raised the jug, "Toast the setting sun with a glass." After taking a sip of the wine, it was spicy and cold, but afterward, there was a strange fragrance aftertaste.

"One cup to Qingshan." Yin Cen compared Qilian Mountain, "One cup to heaven and earth, one cup to common people."

"A toast to you and me," Yin Cen's eyes were already red, and the drunkenness quickly surfaced on his skin, "You say you are sixteen, you don't know, I have already passed sixteen, this year," Yin Cen shook his head lightly, imitating Counting vaguely, 25 in the previous life plus thirteen in the current life, "I'm already 38, Shen Cang, I'm older than you."

After all, I also thought it was funny, and I couldn't control it. The laughter passed through the clouds and grass, and echoed in the school field deep in the twilight.

----

Outside Chaha Town, a column of cavalry walked silently to the gate of the city. The moonlight was covered by thick clouds, and all the cavalry were submerged in the darkness without being seen. In a border town that has been peaceful for the past 20 years, the defenders of the city have long let go of their defenses, and they just put on a relaxed appearance, and both inside and outside the city walls are sleepy and confused.

A person riding a tall horse slowly walked out of the team, his figure was much wider than ordinary people, his face was full of beards like a halberd, and he said to the people around him in a foreign tone, "Lin Moyan has guarded the Northwest Desert for 20 years. It takes half a life of vicissitudes for one person to exchange It is the incompetence of the defenders of the city under the peace, after tonight, it depends on how long they can enjoy the peace."

The person beside him responded, his voice was unusually high-pitched, but he answered in authentic Central Plains Chinese, "Khan is right, if it wasn't for Khan's dispatch of troops this time, Lin Moyan might be so carried away by the illusion of peace. When."

The bearded man on horseback snorted coldly from the depths of his throat, and said coldly to the person beside him, "Slaughtering all the seven guards in Kansai in one night, and using such a vicious method on one of our own people, I really admire it."

The high-pitched voice sounded again, but there were only a few echoing laughter from the shadowy side.

The bearded man turned his head and turned around, raised his right hand on his horseback, pierced the night sky with his long knife, pointed forward, and all the helmeted horsemen behind him came out, and rushed to the city gate in an instant. With innocent eyes open, he looked at the ferocious iron cavalry who suddenly appeared from nowhere. Before he could see clearly, blood was already splashed on the spot. In a blink of an eye, the city gate was broken, and the iron cavalry rushed into the sleeping town of Chaha unobstructed. .

……

Yin Cen woke up with a splitting headache, and found that he was still lying in the decayed grass of the Pingjing school grounds, and the empty jug of Yuhu Bing was still clutched in his hand. He didn't expect to be so drunk that he would sleep in the suburbs at night. If it wasn't for the cold night , I am afraid that I will not wake up until the sun is high.

Looking at the already pale sky, Yin Cen judged that it was about the beginning of the twelfth century. He turned over and shook off the grass clippings on his body, thinking of his parents and Yin Cun, who hadn't returned all night. They were afraid that they didn't know what was going on at this moment, and felt anxious and guilty. Hastily called Yijian Mei to gallop back.

Before reaching the city gate, Yin Cen's hair stood on end for no reason, and a strange bloody smell made him suddenly alert. After years of training, Yin Cen felt the real killing intent for the first time. He reined in his horse and looked around, but found no suspicious signs. He walked outside the city gate with keen vigilance, but saw a pool of blood on the ground, and the corpses of the guards were lying on the ground. With both eyes, Yin Cen thought of his parents and his family of three, and ran forward like crazy.

Chaha Town, which was peaceful in the past, was completely still at this dawn.Yin Cen got off his horse and walked back step by step. Under the pale sky, there was a dead street. In the past, the doors would have been opened earlier at this time. Zhang Mazi should have started selling in the steaming heat, and Aunt Zhao should have moved out the tables, chairs and benches to walk along the street... Now it is silent It was like an empty city, with messy blood marks on the streets, dripping blood all over the streets and doors.

Yin Cen pushed open the door of his house with trembling hands, the front hall was in a mess, the few pieces of furniture in the house were all cut off, and there was blood dripping from under the bedroom door, Yin Cen shook his whole body and pushed the door of Yin Blacksmith and his wife , Seeing the situation in the room, the whole person fell to the ground along the door.Blacksmith Yin and Mrs. Gan fell in a pool of blood. Blacksmith Yin still held a forged knife in his hand. It was obvious that he had fought fiercely with the invaders before his death. And Gan Shi was lying on her husband's body, the cut clothes on the back were covered with several horrible knife marks, and the blood dripping out had not yet completely condensed, Yin Cen was trembling all over, and let out a low-pitched sob from his throat, like Being stuck in the throat, I couldn't breathe no matter what.

In the dead silence, suddenly there was an inaudible sob from under the opposite bed, Yin Cen was stunned with tears on his face, and asked tentatively, "Can'er, is that you?"

A pair of thin white hands slowly protruded from the bottom of the bed, Yin Cun raised his head to look at Yin Cen, his whole body trembling badly.

Yin Cen stepped over, pulled out his younger sister from under the bed, and hugged the trembling villain tightly in his arms. The two of them were sobbing and unable to speak, only tears fell down one after another.

Yin Cen covered Yin Cistan's eyes, carried her out of the room, and returned to his own room, seeing a mess in his eyes.

He asked, "Do you still remember what happened last night?"

Yin Cun nodded, and his speech was still organized under such a fright, "I didn't see you back until midnight yesterday, my parents were in a hurry and were going out to look for you, I was scared at home alone, so mother let me go to their room, mother Come with me, Daddy will go out by himself."

"In less than a moment, Dad came back again, saying that he saw a group of cavalry on the street, entering the house from house to house to kill people, all holding bright knives, bleeding all the way, Dad told Mother to go through the back door quickly, but the result was still Before I had time, those people kicked the door and entered the house..."

"Father fought them desperately with a knife, but Mother only had time to push me under the bed and gave me a package... I didn't dare to move. Mother said, if my brother comes back, I will give this to him."

As Yin Cun said, he took out a small cloth bag from his bosom, Yin Cen opened it, and found a green jade hairpin, and a yellow letter paper, Yin Cen knew that this was the proof of his life experience, he didn't read the letter paper, Only put the hosta in his arms.

He pulled up Yin Qi, "I can't stay here any longer. Starting today, Qi Er will wander around with my brother."

Yin Cistan nodded, "Canxier is not afraid."

Yin Cen took her into his arms, "I know that you are brave, in the future you and I will depend on each other for life, and my brother will make people stop bullying you."

When he closed his eyes, there were Yin Blacksmith and his wife lying in a pool of blood. Yin Cen didn't dare to think, if he stayed at home as usual yesterday, whether this tragedy would happen again. He didn't think that one person could stop a team Iron helmet and iron cavalry, but at least he can stand up and resist it like Blacksmith Yin. He would rather try his best even if he loses and die, rather than live with endless regret and guilt.

An Anwen, who was extremely bored before, was bored, but now it suddenly turned into a thorn in his heart.

It was already dawn, Yin Cen closed the eyes of Yin Blacksmith and his wife, and poured all the kerosene left in the kitchen, threw a spark, and the fire ignited instantly, Yin Cen took Yin Cistan and left from the back door, the fire gradually ignited , The old house burned into a large area in an instant, and the sky was thick with smoke.

Yin Cun didn't turn his head back, he hugged Yin Cistan in front of him, straddled Yi Jianmei, shouted loudly, and the horse's hoofs neighed and ran forward.

No matter behind him, the flames were all over the sky, reflecting a bright morning glow.

Yin Cen can only think of one name at the moment, Shen Cang. He wants to take the Green Mountain Blade and go far away to find the person who promised him.

Riding his horse to the outside of the city, Yin Cen saw a group of iron cavalry returning for some reason from afar. In desperation, he quickly hugged his sister and got off the horse. He slapped the plum cut hard, and the horse galloped away. He hugged his sister and hid in the weeds. Hold your breath and wait for the army to pass.

Yin Cen thought for a while, gave up the unobstructed and flat official road, and took the dense forest path instead.Yin Cen had heard Shen Cang mention this dense forest mountain road leading to Qingyuan Mansion. In order to avoid people's eyes and ears, Shen Cang never took the official road. Instead, after repeated investigations, he laid out self-planned secret roads around.

Following the path markings made by Shen Cang, you will not get lost, but you are walking extremely slowly. The water and rice have not been filled for a day, and the sky is getting dark now. Yin Cen can't bear to let Yin Cang continue on the road, so he decides to find a hidden place to spend the time. this night.

Hiding Yin Cistan in a dry tree hole, Yin Cen went to pick some fruits to satisfy his hunger, and was about to go back with a bag of fruits, but he heard the sound of footsteps walking quickly on the trees in the dense forest. Surprised, feeling the killing intent again, he carefully jumped up the tree trunk, and saw a group of soldiers winding forward in the dense forest not far away. In the marching group I saw outside, the leading cavalry officers had no beards on their faces, and the army was heading in the direction where Yin Qi was hiding.

Yin Cen collected himself, flew to the ground quietly, threw away the fruit he had just picked, and hurried back, rushing to take Yin Cun away before the army, and was about to get close to the tree trunk, but Yin Cen seemed to sense him, and came out of the tree hole where he was hiding. With a voice still sobbing, he shouted, "Brother, I'm afraid!"

Yin Cen yelled in his heart that it was not good. Sure enough, after the sound, the marching army stopped for half a second, and then sped up and rushed towards them. The soldiers in the lead had already seen their figures, and several officers and men on horseback galloped forward. , surrounded him and Yin Cistan.

Seeing that they were two and a half children, the officers on horseback smiled nonchalantly. One of them held up a knife and wiped Yin Cen's neck with wide eyes, his eyes full of rage.

Yin Cen saw that the soldiers of this group were dressed up, and he was sure they were not from the Central Plains like him. They all had high noses and deep eyes, and their eyes were as clear as glass. With a few foreign words, the soldier got off his horse and approached him step by step with a knife in his hand and a sinister smile.

Yin Cen knew that the other party wanted to kill him and Yin Can with one blow, so he protected Yin Can behind his back. The soldier grinned and swung his saber straight forward. Fisting upwards, Xin Jia's 24 hands turned palms into locks, hooked the opponent's throat, the internal force penetrated through the fingertips, and with a burst of shouting, the opponent's neck was crushed!Blood gushed out like a spring, and Yin Cen gasped slightly. This was the first time in his life that he took someone's life.

The officer in charge seemed completely unaware of such a situation. He turned his horse's head to face Yin Cun, his eyes were unrecognizable, and the surrounding soldiers on horseback had already dismounted one after another, and the area surrounding him and Yin Cun was getting smaller and smaller. , Yin Cen protected Yin Cistan with one hand, and fought with the soldiers with the other hand, without a half-inch weapon, and was distracted to protect others, Yin Cen gradually felt powerless.

But I always remember that sentence, I will never let my son be bullied again, and now facing the heavy siege, Yin Cen thinks of his adoptive parents who died in death, and wants to protect Yin Cen with all his heart.

In the blink of an eye, Yin Cen suddenly felt that his hands were empty. Yin Cun had already been carried to the horse by the leading officer, and a crescent moon dagger was aimed at her throat. With a white blade, the narrator was about to strike, when the leading officer suddenly spoke in Chinese with a foreign accent, "Leave him and take him back."

The person who did it was stunned, and reluctantly let go, tied Yin Cen with hemp rope layer by layer, held one end in his hand, got on the horse, and dragged him forward.

But Yin Cistan was left on the horse by the leading officer, the siblings looked at each other, Yin Cen shook his head and gave him a wink from afar, Yin Cun's eyes were red again, strings of pearl-like teardrops hung all over his white face .
