eye-catching

"Where is this?"

This was Zhang Jiyu's first words when he woke up.

In his memory, after the reinforcements arrived, they were defeated after only seven days of fighting. Several soldiers who followed him froze to death in front of his eyes. , the last companion also left, leaving him alone.From the looks of it, he should have survived.

"I saved you."

The deep and pleasant voice came to his ears, the heat slowly returned to his body, even the nerves began to recover, and his consciousness began to slowly return to the furnace.When Zhang Jiyu heard this sentence, he opened his eyes and saw the people around him.

She was dressed in white fox fur, which seemed to be a high-end product for the upper class nobles. Her long waterfall-like hair was casually draped behind her back, and her appearance was surprisingly good-looking.An inexplicable fragrance exuded from his body, which attracted him to indulge.

His body was no longer stiff, Zhang Jiyu got up slowly, only then did he see that he was in a small room, with candles lit everywhere, the flames were slowly shaking with his breath, but they were still not extinguished, and there were several people around him. There is a large cabinet on the east side of the stove, which occupies almost one-third of the entire room. It is filled with various books and bottles, which looks like a rich man's bookstore.

"Do you want to eat anything?"

The person in front of him spoke again, and Zhang Jiyu finally shifted his gaze to him.

"Thank you, whatever you want."

For others, it should be this kind of attitude of not rejecting anyone who comes.

The man turned around and was about to go out, Zhang Jiyu hurriedly called him to stop.

"Hello! What's your name?"

The man didn't turn around, but replied:

"Fuyue."

Fuyue, Fuyue, is a good name.

Zhang Jiyao nodded, looked up and saw that he was about to go out, and quickly added:

"My name is Zhang Jiyao!"

The man went out without pausing, and then gently closed the door.

This room has a very small but very high window. Zhang Jiyu couldn't reach the lower edge of the window even when he stood up. He felt very strange. There are so many candles in the room, and the window is so high. Can the air get out?If it takes a long time, will it be poisoned?

However, by the looks of it, it should be dark.

Zhang Jiyu noticed that the fur coat on his body was taken off, and he was wearing an underwear, which must have been dried in the sun.

After a while, the man came in again, holding a square plate with three bowls on it, Zhang Jiyu looked over, the bowl was not made of ceramics, it should be made of silver, and the chopsticks are also silver He couldn't help wondering if he had arrived in a rich place.

"thank you."

Zhang Jiyu saw him bring the things in front of him, and expressed his gratitude without omission.

"you are welcome."

The bowl contained rice and beef, and a bowl of milk, which was as precious as Qionglu to him.

Fuyue watched him gobble it up, and asked, "Where are you from?"

Fuyue was always expressionless, but her tone was surprisingly gentle, as if she wanted to comfort him, it was different from those generals, it was very comfortable to listen to.

Zhang Jiyu replied: "I am from Yangzhou and was sent to the battlefield. Unfortunately, I was the only one who survived."

Zhang Jiyu raised his inner question: "Excuse me, where is this place?"

Fuyue looked at him, as if trying to see through him.After a while, he slowly replied: "This is Beixing Village."

Beixing Village? !

Zhang Jiyu's surprise was revealed.

Is this village the village that everyone wants to find?

There have always been rumors among the folks that there is a village in the Western Regions, and everyone in it has a terrible power that can make bones grow flesh, reshape his flesh and blood body, and call back the soul to control his consciousness.They are called sorcerers by the world.

But it is always a rumor, and no one has seen them, so it has always been a legend.

Fuyue recognized his waves, and continued: "Do you want to go back?"

Zhang Jiyu was speechless, he was still shocked by the fact that "he is in Beixing Village".

Fuyue suddenly showed a shallow smile and said, "You can't go back."

He laughed!

Although the corners of his mouth were only curled and there was no smile in his eyes, it softened his face a lot, making him look so gentle.

Zhang Jiyao nodded: "I can't go back by myself."

Fu Yue stood up and stopped talking to him.He walked to the bookcase, took out a volume, then opened it, spread it out in front of him, pointed to a dot on it, and asked, "Where is your home?"

Yangzhou, located in the south of the Yangtze River, is a rich place with infinitely beautiful scenery, but it is only his hometown. When he went to Beijing for the exam, he was knocked out for some reason, and when he woke up, he was already in the barracks.

But he nodded anyway.

Fuyue stared into his eyes again, as if by doing so she could tell whether he was lying or not.

He put down the roll in his hand and helped him clean up the dishes.Zhang Jiyao quickly grabbed it and said, "I'll do it!"

Fu Yue was not polite, she stopped her movements and said, "Go out and turn left."

When Zhang Jiyu went out with the plate, he suddenly felt a gust of cold wind. In fact, the outside was brightly lit and there were torches everywhere, so it wasn't that cold, but compared with the inside of the room, it was so cold that he shivered.

It looks like this is a big yard. The room just now is located on the east side. Turning to the left is another small room. The walls here are covered with straw-like plants, and there are many plants that he has never seen before. Things, but he was not curious, because it was too cold, he quickly opened the door and went in.

Before he entered the door, he heard someone talking inside, but he couldn't understand what was being said, it sounded like the ravings of ancient people.

After he entered, the three men in black fur coats all turned their heads to look at him, their mouths stopped talking, and the panic in their eyes could not be concealed, but they still stood where they were, without moving.

Zhang Jiyu was afraid that they would do something, so he quickly greeted them with a smile, and leaned over to pass the plate over.

One of them took the plate from him, and then the three of them got back together and went about their business.Zhang Jiyu quickly backed out.

When he entered the original room again, Fuyue had already fallen asleep on the bed, only two candles around were still burning, and the stove had been extinguished, but the temperature did not drop suddenly.

He suddenly stood there bewildered.

This is someone's room, even if he woke up here before, but the owner is already asleep, it is impossible to climb into someone's bed by himself, right?He always felt bad about it.

But in fact, Fuyue reserved a place for him, so that when Zhang Jiyu saw it, his heart was touched. In a foreign country, there is someone who is willing to take care of you. How lucky is that!

Just as he was about to move, Fuyue's voice came over:

"We never have guests, so you sleep with me."

With respect in Zhang Jiyu's heart, after climbing onto the bed, Fuyue thoughtfully put a thick woolen blanket on him.

When he leaned over, Zhang Jiyu smelled his faint fragrance again, it didn't seem to be used by women or men in the Central Plains, it had an indescribable smell, but it smelled very good.

It was night, but he didn't feel sleepy.

He thought he was dead, but unexpectedly he was rescued. The person who saved him was a legendary magician. When he thought of the people around him possessing a terrifyingly powerful mysterious power, he was terrified from the bottom of his heart.However, it was this kind of power that revived himself who was about to die, and his heart was full of gratitude.The mixture of gratitude and awe didn't feel real to him no matter what.

So many people wanted to find people from this tribe, hoping to gain this kind of power, but it was all in vain, but he was so lucky to enter their tribe so easily, which was inconceivable to Zhang Jiyao.

But Zhang Jiyao didn't dare to act rashly. He knew that since they had the ability to bring the dead back to life, they must also have the ability to kill people. If he had any unreasonable thoughts, his life might be lost.

The breathing of the people around him was steady and shallow, and they seemed to have fallen asleep.

At the same time, he was a little puzzled, why would they save a stranger?Their tribe has always been in a state of seclusion, unknown to the world, if they save him, wouldn't it be tantamount to telling the world of their existence?

He thought of what Fuyue said to him before, "You can't go back", it seems that if he knows this secret, he will never get out alive.

They rescued him and treated him politely. What exactly were they trying to do with him?

Zhang Jiyao couldn't figure it out, he thought maybe he should stay here for the rest of his life.

Consciousness gradually blurred, and gradually, the sound of breathing gradually stabilized, and he fell asleep just like that.

The next day, when Zhang Jiyu woke up, there was nothing around him.He realized that Fuyue had gone out.

When he fully remembered what happened last night, he quickly lifted the quilt.

There was his fur coat beside him, he felt it, it was dry and warm, he put it on quickly, looked around, he saw that it was the same as last night, except that the candles and the stove had been removed.

He suddenly remembered that the sword he was carrying was gone.

When he was about to open the heavy door, he realized that it couldn't be opened.It appears to be locked from the outside.

So it looked like they were wary of him.

But locking him in such a small room, he had to suffocate?

What's more, there is nothing but some incomprehensible scrolls, and the windows are so high that if you want to see the scenery outside, you can't see it, so you can only sit on the bed and meditate.

If you come, let it be at ease, since everyone has saved you, don't expect too much, don't be in the blessing and don't know the blessing.Zhang Jiyu comforted himself like this.

Not long after, the door was suddenly opened, and Zhang Jiyao remembered that it was the man who took his plate last night.He held another plate in his hand, with two bowls inside, containing porridge and vegetables.

It seems that they are here to deliver food.

The man still looks a little nervous, as can be seen from his slightly shaking hands.

He was talking, but Zhang Jiyu couldn't understand at all, so he put the plate on the ground, then quickly closed the door and went out.

When Zhang Jiyu went to pick up the plate, he saw a note on it.

You wait for me to come back.

The handwriting was crooked, and Zhang Jiyu guessed that it should be Fuyue's handwriting. It seems that he is the only one here who can speak Chinese fluently, but the handwriting is not very good-looking.

But no matter how you look at it, these words feel quite ambiguous, like the words left by a husband who goes out to his wife, maybe he doesn't care about them at all, as long as he can convey the meaning.

Zhang Jiyu suddenly grinned.

Just wait, there is nothing to do when you go out anyway.

He roughly imagined that if he lived here, someone would bring him food every day, and he would sleep with such a good-looking person, it would be pretty good.Far away from the war, far away from the officialdom, far away from home...

Thinking of this, Zhang Jiyu suddenly thought of his parents.

His father was involved in a land dispute with a local landlord when he was 16 years old, and was framed by the landlord in the end. He lost the house and died for no apparent reason.Not long after, his mother also left, leaving him to live with his brother who was three years older than him. When his brother went to Beijing with him to rush for the exam, he was knocked out. After that, he didn't know anything. At that time, he didn't know anyone around him, so he was sent to the battlefield like this. He didn't know that the country was so short of soldiers that even those who took the imperial examination were not spared.

As for his brother, there is no more news.

Until now, only 22-year-old Zhang Jiyao has become completely homeless and has no one to rely on. If Fuyue hadn't rescued him, he would have died under the white snow, and eventually Turned into dust, followed his parents.

Thinking of this, he felt that he was really blessed and fateful, that he had encountered all the impossible things in this world, maybe it was because God favored him, or maybe it was because he had accumulated too much virtue in his previous life, so his death was not so simple.
