since your farewell

In the eighth year of Jian'an? In winter, the snow-capped mountains in the north stretched for thousands of miles. In the deserted place, the scenery was astonishingly beautiful, and the rime all over the mountain spread wantonly.

It does not include people.

Who would have thought that a dirty deal was hidden under the pure white snow?

The huge cave is damp and dark, with long and narrow passages? There are guards every ten meters. Those people are holding swords.

The cave is empty and round, with torches burning on the wall. Under the faint light of the fire, people can be vaguely seen standing inside. Their expressions? Excited and hungry, surrounding the high? High? Altar, like a sacrificial ceremony .

The altar is bright, and what is covered by a white cloth in the middle? A small hill protrudes. This is exactly the exciting "goods".

"Today there is a treasure, the little bird in the palace, let you open your eyes",

A deep voice sounded, and the surrounding crowd surged, talking and full of interest.

"Open it up and see!"

"Don't worry, let's shoot these ordinary ones first",

There are seven cages hanging from the top of the altar, hanging in the air. The cages are not chickens, birds and beasts, but seven living little girls. Their expressions are numb, like empty dolls without souls, at the mercy of others .

"Twelve?!"

"12 taels?!"

"eighteen!"

The people below all knew the rules and started the game spontaneously. Zhou Nan's shouts of price came to Zhou Nan's ears, like the call of a demon. No, she would rather be killed by the demon.

Curled up in the cage, the white cloth covered her sight, her body trembled involuntarily,

"Royal Father... Empress Mother..."

This place is one hundred and eight thousand miles away from the capital, and the people of the palace are all out to find her whereabouts, but who would have thought that she has been brought here?

She took out a silver hairpin from the skirt, which she secretly hid. It was only an eight-year-old child, and those people didn't take her seriously. During the body search, she hid the hairpin on the bed and changed her clothes. , she took it back again?

A drop of tear fell, she tremblingly put the silver hairpin on her neck, the white cloth suddenly lifted, she quickly hid the hairpin in her sleeve, and wiped away the tears, she don't cry, don't cry in front of animals.

Exclaimed everywhere.

"It really is a treasure, look at this skin, this appearance."

She opened her eyes and saw countless pairs of red eyes in the darkness, as if they wanted to swallow her alive. She heard tears in her heart, their greedy swallowing, and the funeral song of hell.

Sitting alone in the cage with herself in her arms, under the imprint of the torch, she couldn't feel any warmth. She tried her best not to scream, tremble, or shed tears. Scared and dreaded.

"1 taels?!"

"..."

She didn't know? How much she was finally sold for, and her mind went blank until she was put into another storage cave with seven other cages.

Before the transaction, all "goods" must be branded, which is a mark of shame that can never be washed away. She watched a strong man holding a branding iron and roasting it in a brazier.

The fear could no longer be hidden, and she shook uncontrollably like a sieve.

"Tsk tsk, the price of 100 million taels is really different",

While waiting for the soldering iron to burn red, the man leaned closer to her cage to have a look.

It’s so delicious, so delicious. He’s been doing this for so long. I’ve never seen such a stunner. Those pure and clear eyes hide resistance and unyielding, which is much more interesting than those soulless porcelain dolls. Much more vivid.

Such a best in the world, he is just an ordinary person, why? Can he withstand the ultimate temptation?

"Well, let me inspect the goods first."

Zhou Nan shrank back, but the cage was only so big, she couldn't retreat, watched the man's lips open and close, and took out the key to open the lock.

"Come on, come out",

That person said so? While waving to her, his voice was deceptively gentle.

She raised her head slowly as if being summoned, looked straight into those bloodthirsty eyes, and walked out of the cage step by step with her tired body trembling and bumping. The man licked his lips, and the excited light shot out He came out and rushed towards her in the next second.

A stream of blood sprayed on her face, and the silver hairpin stuck into his throat, I don't know how deep it was, but she used all her strength and continued to exert force, not daring to relax at all.His hands strangled her neck tightly, unable to breathe, her face gradually paled, and her consciousness seemed to float into the air.

Well, it's fine like this, it's fine to die like this.

A scholar can be killed, but not humiliated.

When she was about to die of suffocation, the greasy and heavy head was pressed on her shoulders, the restraints on her neck disappeared, and a big mouthful of air poured into her chest and lungs, like a rebirth, but she knew? ,No.

he died.

Struggling to crawl out from under him, blood was all over his body, and when he looked up, the seven girls in the cage were staring at her with blank eyes.

"I...don't be afraid...don't be afraid, I'll open the door for you right away..."

She wanted to run away right away, but she still couldn't bear it. These girls were about the same age as her. She knelt down and took out the key from the man's waist tremblingly.

"You killed someone. Why did you kill him?"

"If you kill him, we will die too."

"Don't let her get away, they will kill us".

"Come on, someone has escaped."

……

With a click, the key fell to the ground, and she looked at them in disbelief, no time to sympathize? No time to go? Thinking about the reason, those immature faces looked like dead wood, like stagnant water, trying to trap her again.

He fled out of the cave in a panic, and the cave where the auction was held was a short distance away from here, but it was only a short distance. Those people soon heard the movement and chased after them.

The sun made her eyes hurt. After staying in the dark for too long, her eyes have not had time to adapt to the light? She was dizzy, and the outside world was covered with snow. She didn't know where to run, so she took a quick look and chose A road that no one has traveled, exhausting all the strength in his life, running recklessly.

It's a pity that the only exit from this cave is the long and narrow passage. Those people saw her and surrounded her, and she fled in the opposite direction in despair. There was indeed no one guarding that side, because there was no need— — that's the cliff.

"There's nowhere for you to run away."

"In the palace, you have some skills, dare to run, and I will let you know in a while? What will happen to you if you run away."

The leader had a gloomy face and a ghostly voice as he approached her step by step.

Being stared at by him like this, Zhou Nan's legs felt a little weak, and she subconsciously went to find the hairpin, but the hairpin was still on the person, and she had inserted it too deep and couldn't pull it out.

There was no way out, she almost stepped into the air, a handful of snow fell from the cliff, if she could also turn into snow, how great would it be?

"You can't run away. They gave you money, and you can go back with me honestly, so that you can suffer less."

The distance between the two was less than five steps, and the man's eyes were filled with demons. Zhou Nan gave up completely. Today, there is only one death, only one death.

"Mother..."

She closed her eyes, turned decisively and jumped off the cliff.

"Do not--"

The man's screams echoed in the valley for a long time, sad, angry, regretful, Zhou Nan couldn't hear it, only falling, boundless falling, the sound of wind pierced through both ears, did she turn into snowflakes?

Situ Che stared at a deer. She hadn't eaten all day, and there was only a piece of dried meat left in her bag. The prey in front of her was food for the next few days. No, she chased this deer for a long time, crossing half of the mountain.

She was thrown here by Situ Qingyun seven days ago. It is estimated that Situ Qingyun has led his troops back to the Mobei Army Camp at this moment. No one cares about her life and death. She has to find a way to go back by herself.

Survival in the wild is an important part of General Mobei's training of his daughter's physical fitness and perseverance. Almost every year, except for training on the battlefield and in the barracks, Situ Che spends half a year being thrown in various extreme situations. Survive alone in the environment.

Before she was ten years old, Situ Qingyun would personally take her with her and teach her various survival skills. Now that she is 12 years old, Situ Qingyun cannot be with her all the time, and she has long adapted to this difficult living condition Worst of all, if she can't survive, she will send a signal to the sky, and Qingfeng will bring people in to find her.Although, so far, she has never sent any signal.

Only this kind of cruel training method can overcome the inherent gender disadvantage in physical fitness and fully stimulate the beast instinct in the blood. With the martial arts taught by Situ Qingyun, at a young age, she can already rely on Her own strength has gained a foothold in the barracks, and the soldiers all admire her for being young, brave, and born with supernatural powers, but they can't imagine how hard she worked to achieve it.

The deer had caught her several times, and now it was standing at the bottom of the cliff with its head bowed, with a pair of antlers standing tall and upright, very alert. Situ Che approached slowly with light steps, the sword in his hand was ready at any time. unsheathed.

Seeing that it was about to succeed, a snowfall fell from nowhere, and the deer ran away in shock, leaping into the waterfall at a corner and disappearing.The duck with its mouth full flew away, and Situ Che felt a little depressed, and slashed the thick snow with his sword, venting his dissatisfaction.

There was another falling snow, and she couldn't help but looked up, it didn't matter if she didn't look up, she was startled when she saw a small bun fell from the sky, with hair on it?...

Without even thinking about it, Situ Che stepped up on the rocks on the cliff, jumped into the air and took the person into his arms. The little bun was covered in blood, and his closed eyes suddenly opened, as if he had been severely frightened. He was even more terrified than the deer just now, and his body was trembling.

"Don't...don't..."

Her eyes were wet, there were tears oozing non-stop, and she muttered in despair that she really couldn't bear any more.

Situ Che landed safely on the snow, his heart softened, his voice was clean after the first snow in the sun,

"I am not a bad guy".

The little bun still wanted to say "what?", but his body was already tense to the extreme, and he passed out when his eyes went dark.

The author has something to say: I feel sorry for Nanbao.
