Jinyiwei work report

Everything returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

Ning Caichen led the two children towards the inn. He remembered that the two people who rescued him just now said that the younger sister of the man in the bamboo hat was not dead, and she was still in the inn.

After walking for a long time, he finally saw the dilapidated inn standing in front of him. The flagpole fell to the ground and most of the roof was gone. Presumably it was also severely damaged last night.

At a glance, apart from the inn, there is a sea of ​​sand, and there is nothing in sight.

Suddenly, he saw a figure with a knife hovering not far away. Ning Caichen, who had experienced a series of deaths, waved excitedly, "Hey, are you still alive?"

After Xu Jing saw the big snake last night, he just ran for his life. Fortunately, he ran alone with a small target. After the big snake chased him for a while, he gave up and went after the centipede and the others. He saved his life.

This morning, the sun came out and the sandstorm stopped. After hiding all night, he returned to the inn to check the situation.

Many people were swallowed alive, and there was nothing left, while those who were torn to pieces were buried long ago after a night of wind and sand.

Xu Jing felt uncomfortable, and raised his head sadly, not letting his tears fall. What he hated the most was that he didn't even know what happened. Last time, at least he knew that the centipede spirit was invited by Fu Qingfeng. Now it's good. The big snake ran out inexplicably.

Suddenly, he heard someone shouting. Following the sound, he saw that it was Ning Caichen with his two children.

Although he was unlucky yesterday, he is surprisingly good now.

He laughed, without thinking, and killed him.

Ning Caichen has been studying all year round, and his eyesight is not very good, but Yu Xin saw the face of the person who came, "This person is the same as the person who killed Uncle Dou Li."

Soon, Ning Caichen also saw clearly, isn't it, this is the person who chased him in the inn with a knife, and was so frightened that he took the two children and turned around and ran away.

He definitely couldn't beat this guy alone, so he could only run back to the inn to see if the sister in the bamboo hat was still there, she would definitely be able to help them, and the inn guy might be there too.

So he ran to the inn, "Help—help—help us—"

Just when Xu Jing was about to catch up with Ning Caichen, a person suddenly rushed out from the inn. It was the woman he had let go and mistakenly thought was "Fu Qingfeng".

Needless to say, she didn't die completely, and she still wanted to protect the two children. Xu Jing regretted not killing her before.

"Go to the shopkeeper's room!" Tian Hui shouted to Ning Caichen: "Take the child out! I will stop him!"

She ran out yesterday and searched around, but because of the heavy wind and sand, and seeing the snake demon raging, she didn't find Ning Caichen and the others. When it was almost dawn, she was very hungry, so she went back to the inn to eat.

Unexpectedly, Ning Caichen and the others waited for them to come, and saw Ning Caichen with the child, but her brother was gone. Thinking of the knife that her brother received last night, she understood everything. If her brother was alive, Never let go of the child.

Xu Jing scolded: "Go away, I only want Ning Caichen's life! You can take the child away."

Tian Hui laughed, this scholar doesn't know martial arts, he can kill with just one knife, and then this person will immediately raise the knife to kill the child, the result is still the same, she still has to fight, but if she desperately stops He, the scholar, would take the children away and take care of them.

Besides, the knife that slashed my brother last night was done by this guy in front of me.

Xu Jing saw that she wouldn't let her go, and that Ning Caichen had already brought the child into the inn, so he could only snort and say, "Okay, I'll kill you, and then I'll kill them. You have a broken arm, don't think I can't see it."

Not to be outdone, Tian Hui said, "It's broken, but the me now is not the time when I was drugged."

The most important thing is that she returned to the inn early and ate to replenish her strength, while the guy in front of her ran away all night without a single drop of water.

Xu Jing nodded, and said ferociously: "Then let me see how you look if you are not confused." After finishing speaking, he raised his knife and made a move.

Tian Hui stepped forward to respond, and the two began to fight.

Just as Tian Hui imagined, Xu Jing's physical strength had indeed dropped drastically. She deliberately chose a roundabout way, dodging more than attacking, in order to consume the opponent's physical strength even more.

Xu Jing also saw her plan, but there was nothing he could do. A woman is not as strong as a man, but she is much more flexible, especially now that the two of them are fighting outside, which gives her more room to play.

Finally, when Xu Jing's movements and strength slowed down, Tian Hui picked up the yellow sand with the tip of his sword at the right time, and shot it into his eyes.

Xu Jing was instantly fascinated by his eyes. He originally only had one eye to use. After being fascinated, he lost his eyesight in an instant.

Tian Hui waited for just a moment, and slashed towards his throat without hesitation. Xu Jing felt the sword wind and swung his knife to resist. Tian Hui was stabbed in his right arm, dripping with blood, but Xu Jing was even worse, his throat was slashed open A bloody mouth.

He clutched his neck and retreated steadily, but soon lost blood and caused dizziness. He fell to the ground and felt more and more warm blood flowing from his neck, and at the same time his consciousness became weaker and weaker.

...I am about to die here...It's a pity...In the end, he still didn't avenge Zuo Qianhu, Ning Caichen, Centipede Jing and Fu Qingfeng, he didn't kill any of them...Even the mission ordered by Eunuch Cao was not completed...

I am such a waste...

Seeing him throwing himself to the ground, Tian Hui struggled a few times, and stopped still, fearing that he might come alive again, took a step forward, and plunged the knife into his heart, but he didn't respond. He died before his heart was pierced. already dead.

Enduring the pain, she chased after the shopkeeper's room and saw that the tunnel had been opened, and the fat guy was still inside. He told her, "The scholar ran away with his two children, do you want to go too?"

Tian Hui nodded, and chased after him in the darkness. It didn't take long before she saw Ning Caichen who was exploring the way with a torch.

When Ning Caichen saw her, he almost cried, "It's great, it's great, you survived."

"Let's go, it's dawn, I'm afraid there will be pursuers." Tian Hui said.

Yu Xin saw the wound on her arm, "Sister, let me bandage it for you."

After a simple treatment of the wound, he continued to walk deep into the tunnel. Suddenly, Yu Guang said worriedly: "What if the front collapses?" He is the youngest, and he speaks without restraint.

"No." Tian Hui said firmly, but tears were already in her eyes. After so many people had been sacrificed, if the tunnel collapsed at the last moment...she didn't dare to think...

Ning Caichen also said: "Don't worry, we will definitely leave the customs..."

Everyone has no bottom, ready to accept the desperate result at any time, walking and walking, I don't know how long they have walked, the tunnel has reached the end, and there is no way out.

Everyone's expressions changed, and the desperate atmosphere made it hard to breathe. At this moment, Tian Hui noticed the light above her head. She jumped up and stabbed it with a knife, and a pile of dust fell down, and then the afterglow of the setting sun also disappeared. shined on their faces.

She looked at the others happily, only to find that everyone was in tears.

They climbed out of the tunnel, looked back, and saw the gate tower of the border gate behind them.

Ning Caichen knelt on the ground and couldn't help crying while wiping away his tears, "...It's a pity that everyone is dead...Only we live..."

"So we have to live well...even for other people's sake...to live together."

Thinking of her brother, Tian Hui just choked up her sobs at first, but couldn't help crying in the end.

Xie Zhongyu was riding a horse, watching Sinan's pointer at any time.He searched for it all the way, and saw that he ran farther and farther, and finally almost came to the frontier.

But Song Yingbai hadn't been found yet, so he couldn't help feeling more and more uncertain.

You Qi secretly sweated when he saw the inn that had been devastated in front of him.

Fortunately, however, Sinan didn't tell him where Song Yingbai was. He told himself that the inn was blown like this by a sandstorm, and Song Yingbai and the others must have gone to the garrison ahead for business.

After riding the horse for another distance, Sinan suddenly made a roundabout, and the pointer pointed behind him.

Puzzled, he turned his horse around and walked a few steps. Sinan suddenly turned again and pointed behind him again.

Xie Zhongyu saw that there was no one around in the vast sea of ​​sand, and he panicked because he had a bad premonition.

He tried to put Sinan upright, and the pointer pointed to the sky. In an instant, the pointer circled and pointed straight to the ground.

Xie Zhongyu bowed his head, except for the horse's legs, there was a flat sandy ground.

"...Isn't it...Song Yingbai is underground?"

Just when he didn't want to admit the fact, he saw an empty camel running in the distance, and soon, the camel passed by him, and he saw clearly that there was actually a monkey sitting on it, just because it was only as big as a slap Big, didn't see it at first.

Under his gaze, the monkey rode a camel and continued to run towards the inn.

He looked back, this monkey has nothing to do with him, he just wants to know where Song Yingbai is.

He got off his horse, knelt on the ground, and tried to dig. He dug out a handful of yellow sand, and the surrounding yellow sand was immediately filled.

And Sinan's pointer was still pointing straight to the ground.

-

The big snake kept sinking into the ground. As the surrounding yellow sand sank, the sand grains were smooth with the snake's skin. Song Yingbai almost fell off the snake. Then hold the handle tightly and stabilize your body.

He imitated his example, and imitated his appearance, and stuck the knife in the snake. He didn't know whether the big snake was poisoned by the centipede and became unconscious, or the pain from their blades was insignificant to it, and it didn't respond.

Song Yingbai only felt the overwhelming yellow sand piled up around him, so he quickly closed his eyes and held his breath, just when the yellow sand blocked his mouth and nose and was about to suffocate him.

There was a loud click, and the soil under the big snake's body suddenly cracked, revealing a huge gap that was bottomless, and the big snake's body fell into it as if weightless.

As the speed increased, Song Yingbai's body floated up. If he hadn't held the knife handle tightly, he would have flew out of the big snake.

At this time, less and less yellow sand fell on him. He looked back hard, and saw that the crack behind him was slowly closing. When he looked back next time, he couldn't see anything. closed.

They sank with the weight of the big snake, feeling like flying, but not quite like flying, in short, the whole person floated downward.

If he could not smell the fishy and salty smell of the big snake, he would even doubt whether he was still with the big snake or if he was just wandering aimlessly when he couldn't see anything.

"Song Yingbai, where are you?" Li Zhen's voice came from the darkness, "If you are here, reach out and let me take a pat."

According to the direction of Li Zhen's voice, Song Yingbai stretched out his hand in his direction, danced a few times in the dark, and touched the opponent's palm.

Sensing each other's presence, Song Yingbai felt unspeakably relieved, "Are we going underground? I don't know when it will be the end."

"When you stop, it's time to reach Hell Well." I could tell that Li Zhen was smiling, "Do you remember it? You can watch it for 100 years and test it for 100 years, and we will know everything."

Of course Song Yingbai remembered, it seemed that Li Zhen should have something he wanted to know, and he had been investigating for a long time, and finally got it, he was happy for him, "Of course I remember, but you never told me, what exactly do you want to know? "

It is definitely not just the year of the emperor's birth and death, but how long he can be in power is a public matter, it must be a private matter.

"...I want to know who my mother is, and whether my father is dead or alive. It's just two simple things."

Song Yingbai found out that everyone has hard-to-recite scriptures. Although he knew that Li Zhen's parents were away and he lived with his grandfather, he didn't know that he didn't even know who his biological mother was. People who live together may not be as smooth as they seem on the outside.

Li Zhen suddenly asked: "What about you? What do you want to know?"

"I...I want to see how long I can live and how I will die."

In fact, it is the most basic instinct of human beings to explore their own life and death. From the aspect of "life", they want to know where they come from and who their parents are, such as Li Zhen, and from the aspect of "death", such as him, Wondering how he hung it.

"Don't you want to see who you spend the rest of your life with?"

"No, let's leave some mystery at least."

At this moment, Song Yingbai felt a little dizzy, and the surrounding air became dry, and there was a faint yellow light coming from ahead. As the brightness increased, his sense of dizziness became stronger and stronger.

The blood seems to be all filled to the head, not to mention, the whole person is repeatedly turned upside down.

Suddenly, he felt that he was standing on a cloud, looking down at everything under his sight. Before he could adapt, he rushed down suddenly. The huge falling speed made his heart beat almost to the limit.

Suddenly, he felt that he was actually flying towards a lofty goal.

"Ah——" He couldn't tell whether he was flying up or falling down, and the huge sense of chaos made him at a loss as to what to do.

He lost consciousness, and after an unknown amount of time, he heard a faint call in his ear, "Song Yingbai! Song Yingbai!"

He opened his eyes and saw Li Zhenjin's anxious face close at hand, and his hearing gradually recovered. He found Li Zhen's voice was loud, and he frowned, "...keep your voice down, I'm fine."

Li Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, "It's fine, I thought you were dead."

Song Ying was still a little dizzy, "Where are we? Isn't it underground? Why is there still light?"

When he came back to his senses, he found that he was floating in a large body of water. The water area had no end, but it was definitely not at sea. The water was very warm, about the same as body temperature, and it was so clear that he could see the intertwined roots of trees in the water. .

Li Zhen pointed behind him, "Look."

He turned around casually, opened his mouth in surprise, and saw a huge tree standing in the distance, and the rhizome he saw just now was protruding from its root.

It is really a big tree of "Heaven", the trunk is thick, he can't estimate, a big black snake is coiled at the bottom of it, the snake's head and tail can just be buckled, it is Wu Ning.

The canopy can't see the end, it should really be able to touch the zenith.

The big tree has vigorous vitality, and the whole body emits a soft light. For some reason, Song Yingbai feels that it is not a plant, but a living creature with a heartbeat and feelings, at least an animal.

Li Zhen said, "Let's go and have a look."

Strange to say, the two of them escaped all night yesterday, and then sank with the big snake, so they didn't feel tired.

Not only does it not sink to the bottom, but you can move forward with just a stroke. On the contrary, the closer you get to the big tree, the more energetic you feel, neither hungry nor tired. .

Song Yingbai came near the big tree and found that there were countless golden fallen leaves deposited on the bottom of the water around the tree roots.

He yearned for a look, and saw countless branches, each with dense leaves, and the leaves were emerald green, half yellow and half green, some were new, and some were falling off. .

Just when they arrived, another leaf fell from the big tree, and the yellow and orange shone brightly, like a piece of gold leaf the size of a small boat.

When it landed on the water, he reached out his hand curiously to touch it, and the moment he touched the surface texture of the leaf, he seemed to be drilled into his mind vividly by a set of images and sounds.

"The parents have agreed to the marriage. Even if you don't want to, you still have to get on the bridal sedan chair. It's always the matchmaker's words for any woman not to marry. It's up to you to say no to the orders of your parents?" A middle-aged woman sat On the edge of the kang, I persuaded a weeping woman.

Looking at the surrounding environment, this incident happened in a small family.

The woman just cried, and the middle-aged woman left after persuading her for a while to no avail, while the young woman took out a red string, hung it on the beam, and stuck her head in.

At the end of the scene, Song Yingbai gasped, and looked at Li Zhen in surprise, "I saw a woman I didn't know who didn't want to marry, and then hanged herself."

Li Zhen frowned and said, "Really? I saw you just touched the leaves, and then immediately took your hands away."

"No, I think the front and rear feet are stuck in it for a quarter of an hour." Song Yingbai pouted at him, "If you don't believe me, try it."

Li Zhen didn't even think about it, so he touched the leaf. Song Yingbai saw him touch it, and let go of his hand, but looking at his eyes, he must have seen something, so he immediately asked, "Is it right? Didn't you see a middle-aged woman persuading a young woman?"

Li Zhen nodded, "That's right, I stood in front of them and watched their every move, but they didn't notice me."

"Yes, I feel like a clear bystander." Song Yingbai said in surprise: "No wonder it is said that Hellwell can be viewed 100 years in advance and 100 years in the future. This should be what happened in the outside world. But who is this woman, We don't know her at all, so what's the point of knowing about her?"

If you can only watch the past or future events randomly, even if you spend your whole life, you may see "junk information" that is meaningless to you.

There are countless fallen leaves at the bottom of the water, is it possible to search for the part that belongs to you one by one?Just kidding, in terms of probability, as the number of fallen leaves increases, I am afraid that I will not find my part in this life.

Li Zhen frowned, and thought for a while, "Don't be too desperate, is it just a coincidence that Xiao Zhuge saw Yu Yuxuan being rehabilitated? Even the posthumous title is known accurately. There must be a way to quickly find out what I want to know matter.""

"...Since this place is the inside of the Hell Well, then this big tree is the soul of the Hell Well..." The so-called torture of the soul, the question of the soul, may be as simple as that.

Song Yingbai thought of this, let go of his voice and said loudly: "I want to know the year of Song Yingbai's birth and death, can you tell me?"

No response.

Li Zhen hugged her shoulders and shook her head slightly, "It's definitely not that simple."

Unwilling to be reconciled, Song Yingbai continued to raise his head and shouted at the tree: "I have worked so hard to get here, you can do it."

As soon as the words fell, a golden leaf floated up from the layer of fallen leaves accumulated at the bottom of the water, and floated to Song Yingbai.

Li Zhen couldn't help being surprised, is it really that simple?Just give your name and say something nice?

Song Yingbai raised his eyebrows, "You better not touch it, I can see for myself."

Li Zhen persuaded: "You can think about it, can you bear the consequences?"

Song Yingbai knew what he meant, if he saw that he had died miserably, and the future could not be changed, he would be depressed forever.

"Of course I can, don't worry about me." Song Yingbai took the opportunity to find the place again, "I think you are a mother-in-law."

I'm worried about how are you? !Li Zhen couldn't interfere with his decision, "Well, you can take a look, in case you are in danger, let's go back, I will protect you and change the future."

Song Yingbai smiled, and put his hand on the leaf. As soon as he touched the grain of the leaf, he felt the scene around him changed instantly, and he was in a bedroom.

He is very familiar with this bedroom. Isn't this his bedroom in his hometown? Could it be that he died in his hometown in the end?

It shouldn't be, he doesn't have the rural concept of returning to the roots of fallen leaves, and besides, he has been adopted.

"... woo woo woo... Is Yingbai really hopeless?" It was the sound of his mother crying, Song Yingbai walked forward, and saw her mother sitting beside the bed weeping, with her head lowered, wiping her tears with a handkerchief .

There was a person lying on the bed, his face could not be seen, he was motionless anyway, he should be dead.

There were several people standing beside the bed, men and women, of varying ages.

It seems that he died young, the mother is still alive, but his son has passed away.

Suddenly, he noticed something strange. Among the group of teenagers standing beside him, one of them was so familiar. He was clearly his elder brother, but he was six or seven years younger than now.

At this time, his mother took a veil and showed her face, which was also much younger than now.

He understood that what he came to was not the scene of his future death at all, but the past, the real scene of "Song Yingbai"'s death.

It's all because he didn't speak clearly, or at all, he sighed helplessly and wanted to end watching, but found that he didn't know how to quit, so he could only continue watching.

"Mother, don't cry, Yingbai picked it up anyway, and it's not your own." A young man said indifferently, it was his third brother.

Song Yingbai frowned and looked at them in surprise, "What,

Wasn't it his own? "

But they couldn't hear his voice. This was what had happened, what had already happened, and he was just watching.

As soon as his third brother finished speaking, he was slapped severely. It was his elder brother who hit him. "My parents treat him as their own. What is the difference between him and their own?"

The third brother pouted unhappily, "Really? He was quite old when he came here. I remember that when he first got home, he would spend all day looking for his real parents and his brother. Recently, he stopped shouting, but maybe Secretly keep it in my heart, I will look for them when I grow up, our family will raise their son for nothing."

"Stop talking!" His mother said, wiping her tears, "Yingbai is a poor child, send someone to the shop to call your father back..."

"Mother! Mother! Yingbai is not dead, his eyelashes moved." His eldest brother pointed to the bed excitedly.

His mother and other brothers and sisters surrounded him, and suddenly everyone dispersed again, and he sat up suddenly, looking around vigilantly, "Where am I? What's wrong with me?"

Song Yingbai sighed speechlessly, it turned out that he was really stupid when he first crossed, no wonder he was severely whipped when he recklessly wanted to join the army.

However, he is not his own... He raised his eyebrows, maybe this is another reason why he was adopted out.

His father still didn't forgive his brother Song Yuye from the bottom of his heart. The hatred that his brother took over the family property and forced him to leave home at a young age was always in his heart.

So deliberately adopting a nephew who was not related to him by blood to him, I guess every time I think of it, I will laugh at Song Yuye from the bottom of my heart.

After he was adopted, his mother asked his elder brother to send him the longevity lock, which might have been worn by the original body when he was picked up.

The mother also gave him the longevity lock to let him go to his real parents.

Suddenly, the surrounding scene disappeared, and he returned to the big tree.

When his hands left the leaves, the leaves began to sink, and soon fell back into the pile of leaves at the bottom of the water.

Li Zhen asked worriedly, "What did you see?"

"..." How should I put it, I did see Song Yingbai's "year of death", but it wasn't what he wanted, "...Don't worry, I died of old age naturally." You can't tell Li Zhen that he came here through wearing it, right? .

Li Zhen was a little relieved, and then asked, "Then who was around you when you passed away?" He felt that his physical condition was much better than ordinary people, and he must have lived a long life. If he really had a future with Song Yingbai, then he would definitely Guard him until the last moment.

As long as Song Yingbai saw him just now, it means that they are together.

Song Yingbai used his specialty of nonsense, and said without blinking: "Of course they are my children, hey, you should really look at them, in order to share more family property in my will, they all show filial piety Now, sons, daughters-in-law, grandchildren, daughters, sons-in-law, grandchildren, grandchildren, grandchildren, crying so sadly, saying "Dad, don't leave us, grandpa, grandpa, don't die", I have to say, I was very sad when I died. There is pomp."

Li Zhen only felt sore and sore in his heart, and his eyes were hot. He suppressed the soreness in his heart and forced a smile: "It's so good... Marrying a wife and having children, full of children and grandchildren..."
