Suo Jinling

The fire kept burning.

The fire scorched the skin, gathered into lines of fire, and burned the grassland to ashes. The father's towering body stood like a city wall, standing between the sky and the earth.

"I, Chen Huaiying, don't believe in the heavens, and I don't believe in destiny, and now I'm defeated by you, and I will return to my homeland without face!"

"Dad! Daddy! Daddy!"

The sound of the rain was chaotic, and the figures rushed forward and pressed themselves to the ground. Chen Jing couldn't breathe, so he grabbed a person and bit his hand. When he opened his eyes, he saw his mother with tears in her eyes. He stroked his back and said cautiously: "Good boy, it's been so long, drink some medicine..."

"mother······"

Chen Jing exhaled slowly, the light and shadow in front of his eyes flickered, and the vermilion door was closed tightly. He rushed forward, squeezed his body in the middle, and shouted hoarsely: "Mother! Don't! Mother!"

"Master, master, master!"

Chen Jing fell off the couch and fell heavily on the ground. Several people rushed over to help him, and lifted him up in a hurry. Footsteps continued outside the door. Chen Jing was patted on the chest and back, and sucked something. She was much more conscious, and someone hurried in from outside the door, her eyes were red and swollen like peaches, her face was slumped, and she hadn't slept for days or nights.

"Sister-in-law..."

Chen Jing blinked, and everything in front of him gradually became clear. His sister-in-law Zhou Shuning held him in her arms with tears all over her face: "It's good to wake up, it's good to wake up! You child is so disobedient, your elder brother is going crazy, Lighting a few beacon towers, borrowing tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and confronting the barbarians across the river, this matter is too big, almost stabbed into the palace, now..."

Chen Jing grabbed his sister-in-law's forearm and squeezed it twice.

Zhou Shuning swallowed her sobs, and said lightly: "The young master is awake, everyone back down."

All the soldiers and family members bowed their hands, bowed and exited the door. When there was no sound outside, Zhou Shuning breathed out softly: "Now the Holy Majesty's handbook has arrived, ordering us to retreat immediately, and we must not act rashly. Your elder brother only has you as a younger brother, and you are on the cusp of deploying troops at this moment." , it is inevitable that you will not be feared. Ah Jing is no longer a child, please accept your rebellious temperament, there are only two of you in the family, don't let the Chen family be ashamed."

Chen Jing swallowed the remaining blood that was choking on his chest, and swallowed the bloodthirsty murderous intent back into his stomach: "Sister-in-law, my father has been on the battlefield for decades, and his technique of dispatching troops is unpredictable. A barbarian trap. A mere barbarian is rude, insidious and cunning, and his father was... and Hongzhuo, Hongzhuo..."

Thinking of this, Chen Jing's eyes turned red, his throat rolled a few times, he held his sister-in-law's arm, and choked back tears into his belly: "Ah Jing vows not to be a human being if I don't take revenge in this life."

Zhou Shuning's arms stopped in the air, and she patted Chen Jing on the back.She was born in a scholarly family. After marrying Chen Rui, she devoted herself to taking care of the big and small things in the family. The hatred of killing her father was irreconcilable, but Ah Jing was still a child. She didn't want to see him being blinded by hatred and depressed all day long. , living in resentment.

"Ah Jing is hungry, eat something first." Zhou Shuning let go of Chen Jing, picked up the sweet-scented osmanthus and lotus seed soup from the table next to him, stirred it gently, and brought it to Chen Jing, "This sweet juice has been boiled for a long time , the aroma has gone in, drink it while it’s hot.”

Chen Jing was half asleep, and when he heard the word sweet juice, his thirst became even worse. The taste of yacon lingered on the tip of his tongue. The boy seemed to be staring at him, his green eyes unblinking, and his blond hair blowing away in the wind.

"Sister-in-law," Chen Jing couldn't swallow, and murmured, "Have you ever seen... the blond Orion?"

"Where is the Orion?" Zhou Shuning picked up the silk cloth and wiped Chen Jing's mouth, "I have never seen a blond Orion, but only a white-haired and blue-eyed cat. What kind of ghost did Ah Jing encounter?"

Chen Jing shook his head in a daze, and immediately realized that his sister-in-law was teasing him. He blushed and was a little ashamed for a moment: "Sister-in-law, I am not dreaming. If he hadn't come down from the sky to save me this time, I don't know if I would be able to come back."

"Since you were rescued, if you still remember that person's appearance, you can ask your elder brother to post a notice and find out to repay you," Zhou Shuning said, "Don't be stingy."

"Forget it," Chen Jing took the porcelain bowl, stirred it a few times and wanted to take another sip, but put it down after thinking about it, "The sky is high and the road is far away, goodbye by fate... If there is a big fanfare, it will be difficult for him."

Zhou Shuning stared at him, hesitant to speak for a while, and took a bowl of medicinal soup: "Since that's the case, drink the medicine first, and then rest, there are arrow wounds and scratches all over your body, I don't know how long it will take to heal. "

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a lot of noise outside the house, people's voices were buzzing, horses' hoofs were beeping, the torch was beeping softly, a burst of anger smashed open the door, and rushed straight into the house. Zhou Shuning put down the medicine bowl and hurriedly stopped: "A Rui , Ari, brother just woke up..."

"Things that don't understand!" Chen Rui was wearing armor, his eyes were as bright as cold stars, bursting out with raging flames, "If you don't let him understand the truth today, what kind of trouble will he cause!"

He grabbed Chen Jing by the back of the neck, like carrying a sack, and threw him to the ground. Zhou Shuning screamed and stopped in front of him: "A Rui! My brother is covered in injuries..."

In the light of the calcium carbide fire, Chen Rui held her shoulders, narrowed his eyes slightly, and shook his head imperceptibly.

Zhou Shuning suddenly changed color.

There is a flying robe corner beside the door, on which the feathers of white cranes are outlined, and the roots are meticulously detailed. The robe was lifted up, one leg stepped over the threshold, and the big thorns swayed into the door.This man stood up like a white onion, his face seemed to be covered with layers of white powder, the corners of his lips were soaked in rouge, and his voice was high-pitched and shrill: "The brotherhood and family relationship are still there, why is General Chen here? Give ten thousand taels of gold and one thousand acres of fertile land to comfort the spirit of the old general in heaven."

White Crane Lingwei.

Not long after the founding of the Liang Dynasty, Emperor Huiqing recruited many people with high martial arts skills, and stayed with him after being castrated. Arrived in person, presumably the matter of mobilizing the tiger talisman has reached the ears of the emperor. They are guarding the frontiers. My father-in-law Chen Huaiying has a good command of the army and has a lot of prestige. He was already feared by the emperor. After causing such trouble, Ari called out the Tiger Talisman again...

Zhou Shuning shuddered, pursed her lips tightly, slowly lowered her arms, tilted her head and closed her eyes, Chen Rui swung the corner of her robe, lifted her foot fiercely, and kicked Chen Jing to the corner: "Useless things, what caused these Trouble! If you are so stubborn, you might as well kill him! Come on! Take the army and come here!"

The corners of Fu Chaozhong's lips curled up, and he said with a sneer: "The little general is still young, it's normal to be impulsive at the moment, why bother to get angry?"

Chen Rui cupped his fists and sighed in a muffled voice: "Elder-in-law is laughing, the laws of the Chen family are strict, and running the family is like running an army. If you don't subdue the stubbornness of the bad brother this time, it will be difficult to comfort the spirit of the father."

Fu Chaozhong sneered, he mobilized the three armies without obeying the military order, and fell on the banks of the Huai River in black, turning a blind eye to the few orders sent by the Holy Majesty. Stick, have you thought about this?

"The general's disciplining his younger brother is the general's family business. Our family won't talk too much," Fu Chaozhong moved away half of his body, and said with a smirk, "The young general's muscles and bones are immature, and his skin is delicate. Don't criticize him too much."

Chen Jing was in a daze, and was picked up by two family soldiers, carried outside, wiped the corner of Fu Chaozhong's robe, and threw him into the courtyard.

There was no one in the courtyard, and a bench fell in the middle. It was forged with heavy iron from the end to the end, covered with hemp rope all around, and there were bloodstains on it.

Zhou Shuning couldn't bear to look any longer, and stood sideways in the corner, covering her eyes with her sleeves, while the servant girl beside her hurriedly supported her and wiped her tears with silk and satin.

Chen Rui couldn't get off the tiger, he knew that this board had to be beaten, and in front of Fu Chaozhong, the possibility of letting him go was very slim.

Knowing that his younger brother disappeared, he sent his servants to look for him in the city, turned the land upside down, but found nothing, the Chen family suffered one after another, his father and mother both passed away, and now even his younger brother is missing, Chen Rui dare not bet anymore He was worried that his younger brother would be picked up by wild beasts, and even more worried that his younger brother would be caught by barbarians. He didn't care about the overwhelming army. If his retainers hadn't told his younger brother to come back in time, the iron hooves would have broken through the Huai River, and the barbarians would have killed every single one of them.

But Chen Rui also knew that Liang had been fighting for too long, the treasury was empty and the people had no means of living, and the small countries in the four directions were ready to move, and came to provoke them from time to time. The defenders were disbanded and all sent to the fields to farm.

This time, I am arbitrarily self-propelled and violated a big taboo in the court. If it is not for the fact that my father died bravely and the power is still there, I am afraid that the whole Chen family will lose their heads in this field....

Chen Jing was bound hands and feet, and several laps of rope were wrapped around his waist, which was tightly strangled, and the thorns pierced into his flesh, which made him wake up for a moment, and tried his best to prop up his head.

"elder brother······"

Zhou Shuning couldn't help sobbing, tears rolled down, and forced herself to choke back into her stomach.

"Twenty military battles," Chen Rui breathed out, "make him sober."

Chen Jing raised his head in a daze, but he didn't react, his back seemed to be exploded by gunpowder, with a bang, his ears buzzed.

"Uh······"

He was stripped off his trousers, a line of dark purple blood was printed on his skin, his flesh was like a piece of pancake, and he was beaten on the chopping board.

Before the buzzing in his ears, another stick hit the air, this stick was more ruthless than before, his internal organs seemed to be squeezed out, and several blood clots rolled out, his mouth gurgled, the tip of his teeth bit his tongue, and spit out a mouthful of residual blood .

Chen Rui clenched his fists and stared at the soldiers: "Didn't you eat? Fight again!"

Fu Chaozhong's voice was near and far away, sharp and hoarse, and came to his ears: "General, calm down. If the old general's spirit in heaven is still alive, I will not want to see your brothers turn against each other and have a new rift."

Chen Jing grabbed the ground with his head in pain, and was so loud that he had a headache. He wanted to cover his back, his wrist was firmly covered, and he was bleeding profusely. His parents and elder brothers loved him very much, and they never could bear to beat him. Scolding him, he seldom said serious words. This time he was in a sea of ​​swords and flames, his skin and flesh seemed to be scorched by the fire, he gurgled several times, and chewed half of his teeth. Put it in his mouth and fasten it firmly behind his neck.

At first there was pain, and then he lost his mind, his head resting on the stool, groaning in a daze, he vaguely heard his sister-in-law crying and begging for mercy, he heard his elder brother's deep order, and saw his parents Hong Zhuo in a daze, these people disappeared one by one, and he stood In the snow, as far as the eyes can see, there is a golden bell jingling in the ears, and a string of footprints approaching from far away. When I look up, I can only see the bright sun shining brightly. The face is covered with white gauze. Under the gauze curtain, a pair of blue cat eyes, quietly Looking at myself quietly.

Chen Jing struggled to raise his hand, propped up his wrist inch by inch, grabbed the gauze curtain, and covered his eyes with all his strength.

It was dark.

He fell asleep as he wished.
