[Qin] Qin Shi

She didn't know when it started, but her eyes kept falling on one person.

It was a young man with a bright smile, always taking advantage of his superb stature and the low wall that was not very high, he would never go through the main entrance all day long, preferring to climb over the wall and fly over the eaves - in fact, she has a thorough knowledge of the house. □Collapsed, let her little boy hang to the house that has not been repaired for a long time, stained with dust.

At that time, she would sit on the trampled roof, cover her mouth secretly, and smile happily.

And her little boy, looking at the blue sky above his head, would turn from initial helplessness to laughter.

She likes the way her little boy smiles, like the sky, like the stars, like all the beautiful things in this world.

She fell in Yanbei since she was born, grew up in Yanbei, and lived in Yanbei. She has never been to other places, and she cannot go to other places.

Because she is Yanbei, a product born of the hope and worship of the people of Yanbei, a nihilistic existence born of their sustenance.

She already had her own consciousness at a very early age. She has seen poor people fleeing their homes, she has seen exhausted soldiers rushing towards the enemy regardless of their own safety, she has seen young children flee their homes, and she has also seen old people faltering. back to her.

She has seen mountains of corpses and seas of blood and skeletons exposed between heaven and earth, seen old people protecting their grandsons killed by barbarian swords, seen women crying and being bullied by barbarians in corners, seen parents abandoning children, I have seen crying babies in the room, and I have even seen people cooking and cooking corpses to live.

She has seen countless hungry prisoners in thousands of miles of dry land, she has seen the people hanging upside down like eggs, and she has seen the grasslands of thousands of miles without chickens crowing, dogs barking, cattle and horses, until that day, she saw a young boy standing by the low wall , stroking the stone-built city defense: "I always feel that it's very unreliable?"

Sitting on the low wall, she looked sideways at the delicate brows of this little boy, and for some reason, she remembered a girl she had met one year, beautiful and gentle, a family with a hundred girls begging—but what happened later?

What happened to that girl after that?

The girl tilted her head, but she couldn't remember the story of the beautiful girl that the teenagers in Bancheng longed for.

But that was a story many years ago. It doesn't matter whether anyone listened to her or not.

"Yoxi, it's decided!" The little boy rolled up his sleeves, clenched his fists and made a strange movement, "My journey will start from this small city wall."

zhen?His name?

The girl swayed her calves hanging in the air, imitating the boy's movements, clenched her fists, bent her arms and made a vertical pull from top to bottom in the air.

Then she fell down on the city wall with a smile, because of this seemingly silly action, but also because of this little boy who rarely talked to himself and was out of tune with the border.

She watched the little boy stumbling and getting himself covered in mud, she watched the little boy get kicked out of the house because he tried to exchange eggs for mud as a prank boring person, she watched the little boy fail again and again, and finally in her Under the witness of his father, a thing called "cement" by the young boy was born in the world.

It was something that, when applied, made the brocade as hard as a stone.

However, the smile on the young boy's face was a little weaker than that day.

Her little boy lay on the city wall with accumulated stones, looking at the grassland in the distance: "Tong, I don't understand."

'What? 'Yanbei is sitting at the head of the city, with his back to the grassland, looking down at her little boy, what do you not understand?

Her little boy stopped talking, his beautiful brown eyes fell on the place where the sky and the earth intersected, and his brows were gradually drawn together.

"It doesn't look good," Yanbei raised his hand and put his hand between his eyebrows, "I like the way you smile. '

Brilliant, eye-catching, like the sunshine in this world, carefree, shining on the earth.

"Why?" The young boy muttered again, "Qin can use it, and Zhao can also use it. Even if it will increase the difficulty of attacking the city, how many casualties will be reduced at the border?"

The hand she put on the little boy's eyebrows stopped suddenly, because the little boy leaned forward, passed through his forehead, and passed through the flower tin that she had envied for a long time.

Her little boy seemed to sense something, turned his head to look in another direction, and then turned back to look at where she was.

Even though she knew that the other party couldn't see her, she still couldn't hold back and drifted back half an inch.

It's for Yanbei...

She floated beside her little boy, watched him grow up, was abandoned by Lian Po on the grassland, watched him stand up to the pile of corpses, watched him step by step, from her The little boy in the middle of the night has become an extremely dazzling general at the border—her general.

"With me here, Yanbei will never be destroyed." Her general said, with a confident smile on his face, "As long as I am still alive, Yanbei will always be what it is today— —Well, still, it will get better, isn't that better?"

Sitting in front of the oil lamp, the general crossed out a line and refilled his speech for tomorrow, looking rather distressed.

She sat opposite the general, resting her chin with her hands, watching her general racking his brains for his speech when he took office tomorrow, laughing, and following the place where he paused, she made a humming sound to echo.

Her general—

She goes out with him, rides the horse with him, studies failures again and again with him, and experiences the joy of finally succeeding after thousands of failures with him.She accompanies him to wake up at midnight, he accompanies her to see the stars in the sky, and he accompanies her day by day, living their lives in Yanbei.

Until one day, two people came to their home.

Yanbei didn't like these two uninvited guests at all, because the way her general looked at them made her feel uneasy.She wanted to cover the general's eyes again and again, but found that her palm was so weak.

Those eyes she loved so much fell on the odd man, as beautiful as when they first met.

fraud--

Yanbei sent off her general.

Obviously it's just my baby——

Yanbei sat on the top of the tall city wall, which was protected by cement, and waited from dark to dawn, and then from dawn to dark.

Obviously it's just my general——

She waited, waited, waited, waited for many years, but failed to wait for his general.

But she heard many stories about the general, his bravery, his bravery and skill in battle, he was trusted by the king to hold great power, he is the most trusted confidant of the first emperor in the empire called 'Qin'.

——My general is just that good.

Yan Bei was complacently playing with the little clay figurine at her waist, which was the same as a general. It was the luck that she secretly tore from the gradually dissipating body of Zhou next door after she had secretly learned from the clay sculptor for a long time, and pinched her little general. .

——Anyway, your young master doesn’t want you anymore, and giving it to me can be regarded as your dream of serving him, isn’t it~

She waited and waited, until the neighbors around her were devoured, until a little dragon named 'Qin' fell to the ground next door, and finally returned to her general.

Her generals were more heroic than ever, and more mature than ever.

She climbed on the table, watching her general directing his troops and watching his general galloping on the battlefield.She was sitting on the top of the wall, hugging her little general, waiting for her general, counting to one thousand and then ten thousand, when she waited for her general, even though he was wounded, he still looked like flying.

She smiled and jumped down from the top of the city, floating beside him, listening to the cheers of the people with him, bandaging his wounds, healing his wounds, and watching the stars late at night with him.Occasionally, he would be a bad boy, peeking at the letter he wrote back to Xianyang, and then slamming it twice, and then wiped it off before sending it out.

It wasn't because he was afraid of the exponentially growing black dragon next door.

Until one day, she saw a woman who quietly sprinkled a lot of medicinal herbs in his brazier to lull him to sleep.

At first she didn't take it seriously, she knew that girl, she was his general's adopted sister.He has already married and had children, so in the past he was considered submissive to this elder brother.

She leaned against the general's bed, watching the girl softly said "brother" before sneaking to the table.At this time, she realized that something was wrong, she screamed and wanted to pull the woman away, but her hand passed through her body.She screamed to wake his general, but his general was rarely asleep.

She is just an existence born in the consciousness of the common people, she can't do anything, can't do anything.

She watched the woman take away the marching map, she watched the woman take away the military information, but she couldn't do anything.

There are always too many blood and tears of innocent people under the golden iron horse, but it shouldn't be him, it shouldn't be him, it can't be him.

She watched her general imprisoned, she watched her general take away the enemy's weapons and boosted the demoralized morale, she watched her general protect the soldiers retreating but she was surrounded, she screamed and tried to protect His general, but only a sharp arrow pierced through her body and landed on her general.

The world is black and white, the breath is salty, and the heart is empty.

She watched her general's swift movements gradually slow down, she watched life flow out of her general's body, she watched her general slowly fall to the ground, his right hand stretched out to the east, trying to reach What.

Why is he lying here, why does the light that illuminates her world, that gives her life and glory, that gives her everything, go out in darkness?

How could he leave her alone in the world?

Her general—

The girl's tears fell on his forehead stained with blood and ashes, she stretched out her hand, but passed through his fingers again.

There has never been a moment, like this moment, that made her hate her own powerlessness, loathe her own existence, contradict her own eternal life, and hate her incompetence.

my general—

The girl named Yanbei cried bitterly while hugging the man in her arms.

There were corpses all over the sky beside her, and the shadows of clouds flowed across the vast grassland. The gentle wind took away the bloody smell that seeped into the soil. She raised her hand and tried thousands of times to dry the man's face. Bloodstains, thousands of attempts to cover his dilated pupils.

No echo.

She stopped, she opened her eyes and looked at the man lying in her arms, as if waking up from a big dream, her tears dripped down, fell on the general, and fell on the land stained red by blood donation , rendering the sky and staining the land.

Until another hand pressed her shoulder.

It was a pair of newly born creatures named Qin.

"You are his country, and I am his city." She murmured softly, looking up at the handsome young man, "You love him just like me, don't you?"

Feeling the power flowing in her body, she raised her hand, and her cold fingertips touched her general for the first time.Her general's face was cold, but she didn't care, she gently wiped off the dirt on the general's face, closed his eyes, stretched out her hand to gently hook the corner of his mouth, and drew a smile on his face.

Then her blood-stained fingertips collapsed like fireflies.

It was just the vague feeling on the fingertips that made her laugh.

Since then, the world will never see those eyes as clear as amber again.

Since then, there will never be that sly and considerate smile in this world again.

From then on, there will never be another person in this world like him, tyrannically proclaiming to the world that Yanbei belongs to one person.

I love him, I hope the whole world loves him as much as I love him, I hope that the people cherish him, I hope that time treats him kindly, I hope that the wind and rain will not fall on him, I hope that the disease and misery can stay away from him, I hope that his face will always be With a smile, I hope he will always be my little general.

General, do you know that cities have spirits?

"Don't be sad," said the little boy who was holding her shoulders. He had a face similar to his, but compared to her general, this little dragon was still too young, and had never experienced setbacks or bloodshed.

His parents protected him very well, under the shade of the tree, under the wings—if you were you, you would definitely be able to become a better spirit than me.

Ah, she suddenly remembered.

And then, the ending of that girl.

She finally died under the body of the barbarian.

However, it doesn't matter.

I stay here, maybe one day, I will be able to see you again, right?

"Girl, let's go, the barbarians are coming in."

"He hasn't returned yet, how can I leave."
