Mirror Dreams

This is a prequel novel written to the predecessor of Shi Yukun in the Qing Dynasty "Seven Heroes and Five Righteousness". Only people wrote the sequel, and now Nana is writing the prequel.This story has nothing to do with the original work. It is about the romance between Nan Xia Zhan Zhao and another girl, which is purely personal fiction.

The story takes place in the first year of Tiansheng in the Northern Song Dynasty (this year is consistent with history, but not necessarily consistent with the original).Zhan Zhao this year is not yet Nan Xia, but just a 12-year-old child.

One day, under the order of his master Xie Qiang, Zhan Zhao went to Cuiping Peak in Fengxiang Mansion to visit a senior named Tang Mingyu, and learned Kung Fu from him, which could also hone his determination.Xie Qiang is his mentor and a friend from the rivers and lakes that his father Zhan Rui found for him.He is the youngest among the old Wuyi in Jianghu, and he is also the one with the best martial arts (this is made up by me, hehe).

Fengxiang Mansion is located on Qinfeng Road, in the northwestern part of the Song Dynasty, where there are three peaks, namely: Cuiping Peak (called Cuishan by local people) separating Qinzhou and Fengxiang, and Peacock Peak (Queshan Mountain), the boundary mountain between Qinzhou and Liao. ), Phoenix Peak (Fengshan), the boundary between Fengxiang Mansion and Liao Kingdom.The three mountains are all boundary mountains, so these three mountains are called the Three Realms Mountains.

The Cuiping Peak that Zhan Zhao is going to is located in Fengxiang Mansion. He has walked from Changzhou to Fengxiang for a long time. When passing through a forest, his horse was scared away by some animal, and his daily necessities were also lost. It was taken.He had only a bag and a sword by his side.

Zhan Zhao thought to himself: I don’t see the village in front, the store in the back, and the horse is lost again. I really don’t know how to get to Cuiping Peak.He still insisted on walking out of the woods.

There was a meadow in front of my eyes, and there was a shadow of a mountain in the distance. I thought to myself: there should be the Three Realms Mountain, right?So he quickened his pace, and after a few hours, he was stunned when he looked back—the woods behind him were gone, and he could only see the endless grassland, listening to countless crickets calling.

Seeing that the sunset was turning red, the sky was covered with white clouds, and the sunset glow fell on Zhan Zhao's side, casting a halo around him, but he frowned: Do you want to spend the night on the grass tonight?There is nothing to eat, and the weather is getting cold again. What should I do at night?I can still maintain my internal strength for two to three days. I have to leave this grassland as soon as possible, otherwise I will die here. It is important to preserve my strength.After he made his plans, he sat down to adjust his internal energy! !

Suddenly a maroon horse appeared in front of it, and on its back was a girl in a pink dress with a green ribbon around her waist. Her pink dress looked even more beautiful in the afterglow of the setting sun. She was about eleven or ten years old. Looks like two years old.When she saw Zhan Zhao sitting on the ground, she rode over, and Zhan Zhao also noticed her and stood up.The girl raised the whip with her right hand, pointed at him and asked, "Who are you? Why are you staying here if you haven't come home so late?"

"Xia Zhan Zhao." He bowed and said, "Miss..."

"You should hurry up and find a place to settle down. It's getting dark, so don't stay in the grassland."

"Thank you girl."

"I'll take my leave first." After finishing speaking, the girl pulled the horse and left.

Zhan Zhao just shook his head, smiled, and continued to meditate.

After a while, the girl came back again, and she looked at him in surprise: Could it be that I got lost again, why?

Zhan Zhao said, "We met again?"

"Yeah!" She smiled.After a while, she said: "You can't stay overnight in this grassland, there are wolves." She pointed to the front and said, "There is a small forest ahead, come, get on your horse and go with me." She stretched out her right hand after speaking.

Zhan Zhao didn't dare to let her pull him up, thinking to himself: Are all girls in the north so generous?Feel free to be pulled by anyone.If we girls from Jiangnan would not.

The girl said, "Give me your hand and get on the horse."

Zhan Zhao hesitated for a moment, and after a while, he gave her his left hand, and Zhan Zhao got on her horse. This was the first time he was so close to a strange girl.His heart beat a little faster, but the girl pulled the rein gracefully and prepared to drive the horse forward.Zhan Zhao was not so nervous, he took her by the rein and said, "I'm here to drive the horse, you lead the way."

"Okay," she said, "there is a forest ahead, and there is a small cave in the woods. I used to go here if I got lost. After a day or two, my father will send someone to find me back. .”

It turned out that her surname was Lin, and her maiden name was Fangyu. She was the eldest daughter of Lin Zhenzhi, the pacifier of Qin Fenglu.Lin Zhenzhi was also conferred the title of Great General of Zhenyuan by the late emperor, inheriting the title.Since the Holy Majesty ascended the throne, they, the former ministers of the former emperor, voluntarily resigned and returned to their hometown to become magistrates.Lin Fangyu has two elder brothers: eldest brother Lin Feng and second brother Lin Yun; there are two younger sisters: Lin Fangbing and Lin Fangshuang; and the youngest brother: Lin Lei.

Since her father was stationed in Sanjie Mountain in Fengxiang Mansion, she often came here to play alone since her ninth birthday, but every time she got here, she would get lost. Alas, I don't know when I will not get lost?well……

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The two rode together for a long time, and finally a forest appeared in front of them. After they got off the horse, Zhan Zhao said to Lin Fangyu, "Miss Lin, you are quite familiar with this place, but why do you always say you are lost?"

"Because I will get lost in the woods, so..." She lowered her head and was embarrassed to continue.

Later, a mountain appeared in front of them, they walked in, and saw Zhan Zhao igniting the flint, Lin Fangyu brought firewood, lit the cave before lighting it up.

I saw only a pile of grass here, and nothing else.Lin Fangyu said: "Young Master Zhan, we only have some dry food today."

Zhan Zhao touched the burden: Oh no, there is nothing left.

Lin Fangyu said: "What's the matter? I have dry food here." She took out two pies from her bag, handed him one and said, "This... this is what my mother made for me when I came here. Yes, try it, it’s what we Northwesterners like to eat.”

Zhan Zhao took a bite of the pie and said, "How do you know I'm from the south?"

"It can be seen from your baggage." She said while eating.

"Burden? How do you say that?" Zhan Zhao looked at his baggage and asked.

"You southerners are all handsome, even the burdens are delicate." Lin Fangyu asked tentatively: "How does the pie taste?"

He took another bite and said: "It tastes good." He thought to himself: Why is it so salty?Do they northerners eat such salty things?

Lin Fangyu said: "I know, it's just a bit salty. Next time I make it, just add less salt." She lowered her head: This is the first time I make it, so I might add more salt.

"Oh, that's right. I thought..." He smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if it's salty or mild, it's really delicious." It's true.

"You don't need to comfort me, I know it's not good, this is the first time I do it."

"It's true." Zhan Zhao said solemnly, "It's delicious." He realized that she made it herself.

"This recipe was taught by Yang Ma, the cook at home, and the whole family loves the pie she made." Lin Fangyu said, the pie made by Yang Ma at home is loved by the whole family.

"Oh." Zhan Zhao thought to himself: So there is someone behind the scenes, no wonder she cooks so deliciously.I really want to eat such delicious pies often in the future, and it will be delicious in the world with a little less salt.Sigh, I'm so confused, how can I cook for a person like me who is the daughter of a dignified appeasement envoy?wishful thinking.

"By the way, you southerners should not be used to eating our northern noodles." Lin Fangyu asked back.

"My mother is from the north. She often makes northern pasta for the three of us, so I like it very much."

"I see. Where are you from?" Lin Fangyu asked back.

"From Wujin County, Changzhou Prefecture." Zhan Zhao replied.

"Is that far from Suzhou?"

"Not far, I've been there a few times." Zhan Zhao asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

Lin Fangyu thought: This is just a chance meeting, so I think they won't help.Just say: "It's okay. I just think of a cousin of mine in Suzhou."

"Your cousin?"

"It's my aunt's daughter. It's the same age as me. We haven't seen each other for two years. Okay, let's not talk about this. Since you said it was delicious, eat another one." Lin Fangyu gave him another a pie.Zhan Zhao took it, and the two each ate another pie before falling asleep.

In the middle of the night, Lin Fangyu slept soundly.

But Zhan Zhao listened to the wolves howling all night, he dared not fall asleep...

In the early morning of the second day, Zhan Zhao originally planned to watch the sunrise.But as soon as he opened his eyes, he found that Lin Fangyu was no longer in the cave, so he didn't care about watching the sunrise, so he went to find someone.

When he went out, he smelled a strong smell of fish. He ran over to Lin Fangyu and said, "You got up so early? Did you do this? Miss Lin."

"Yeah, the taste should be okay." To be honest, Zhan Zhao was really hungry.After hearing this, Lin Fangyu brought him a fish and said, "Try it."

Zhan Zhao took a bite, it melted in the mouth, and the saltiness was right, so he said, "It's delicious." Afterwards, the two of them ate together, and Zhan Zhao asked, "Where did you catch this fish?"

"In the small river over there, don't worry, you won't die of hunger here." Lin Fangyu pointed to a river not far away.

Zhan Zhao said, "Miss Lin, you wake up very early."

"Yeah, I got up early today. How about you?"

"Me? I wanted to watch the sunrise, but it's too late." Zhan Zhao said.

"Watch the sunrise? Going to Baojing Lake to watch the sunrise is the most beautiful." Lin Fangyu said.

"Baojing Lake?? Where is it?"

"Baojing Lake is the most beautiful place on the mountainside of Cuiping Peak. On that day, the sky was dyed red by the colorful clouds. The calm and oval lake surface is like a mirror platform, reflecting Cuiping Peak on the lake. A round of red sun If a shy girl rises slowly, the surrounding clouds are pulling long ribbons, and the red sun and clouds are reflected in the lake, making Baojing Lake beautiful and beautiful. This is called a double-day wonder. Until they All of them radiated light, and the mist in the lake began to spread slowly. Standing on the side of Baojing Lake, holding the sun with both hands, as if you were in a fairyland, you just want to dance... What a wonderful thing that is. Young Master, tell me, don’t you?” Lin Fangyu fantasized by herself.

Zhan Zhao had never heard such words, but they seemed beautiful, as if he was intoxicated by them, and said, "You speak so beautifully."

Lin Fangyu nodded and said, "Yes."

"Where is she?"

"It's not far from my father's camp. When we arrive at my father's military camp, I'll take you to Baojing Lake to watch the sunrise. At that time, I will be dressed in pink and you will be dressed in green. I will definitely make Baojing Lake even more beautiful." This is what her second brother said, including the previous description of Baojing Lake, which was copied from the original words.

Dressed in pink and green, how to explain it?She's a girl... Could it be... Could it be that this girl treats me?Impossible, we just met.Zhan Zhao took a closer look at her expressions and movements, which seemed real.He said, "Okay, this trip to Sanjie Mountain is not in vain."

"Hmm!" Lin Fangyu said little by little, "We have to get out of the woods first, I just can't get out of the woods."

Zhan Zhao said, "Is there a mechanism for this?"

"No, I just don't know my way," she said.

After hearing this, Zhan Zhao felt relieved, and said, "I can tell the direction. Let's try to see if we can get out."

Lin Fangyu nodded, and after breakfast, the two set off to go out.
