The weather in the north is always generous.In winter, the northwest wind is fierce, and in spring and autumn, the sky is full of yellow sand. When it is dry, the land is cracked, and when it is flooded, it can't wait to water the roots.That's why the trees here are the real heroes. They look ugly and crooked, but their roots are deeply rooted in the ground.

But this year's snow is so heavy that it can crush dead branches. It seems that next year will be a bumper harvest year.But surviving this year is difficult.After so many consecutive days of blizzard, Bianguan finally had a snow disaster this year.

Thousands of animals froze to death, hundreds of people froze to death, just look north of the Yellow River, there were no pedestrians on the hills, and there were few people on the streets.

The emperor gave a lot of money to the families of soldiers who froze to death. It was a natural disaster for livestock to freeze to death, but it was mostly a man-made disaster because of poverty.Distributing grain, grass, and quilts from above to below, and donating at the gate of the city, is a lot of money, but it can only be so. If God sends a natural disaster, it means that there is something wrong with the emperor, and the emperor can only pay for it.

At the gate of the city, the line waiting to receive alms can be lined up outside the woods. The emperor asked a Taoist priest to offer incense beside him and stood beside him with a whisk in his hand. But the winter at the border gate was really cold, and the Taoist priest came from the south. Those who came here were shivering from the cold, with snot running down their noses.

Li Dongqing ran down the stairs thumping. He had a cut on his face, from the brow bone to his cheek. It seemed to go through his eyes, because his right eye was covered with a blindfold.He was wearing a big cotton-padded jacket, with a bamboo hat on his head, and a cotton-padded jacket in his hand. He jumped down the last flight of stairs and put the cotton-padded jacket on the Taoist priest. Thank you so much."

Li Dongqing smiled and waved at him, turned around to change shifts, and took over from the person just now to distribute supplies.He asked, "What's your last name?"

"Liu." The man said briefly.

Li Dongqing looked up at him: "Native place?"

"Yanmen," said the man.

After listening to a few words, Li Dongqing knew that this person's Chinese was not good.Then most of them were the Huns.The snow disaster at the border, the Xiongnu grassland naturally also suffered disasters, many Xiongnu troops were stranded on the grassland, and those who could not survive even sneaked into the city wearing Han clothes, learned a few Chinese words to deal with it, and pretended to claim supplies.

Li Dongqing said: "The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying. What's the next sentence?"

That person: "..."

"Next!" Li Dongqing said, and then said to him, "I can't give it to you."

The man didn't leave, looking at Li Dongqing, Li Dongqing had no choice but to say: "I don't care, don't make things difficult for me."

"Liu Zhuo, are you here yet?"

Li Dongqing froze for a moment and asked, "What?"

The Huns spoke poor Chinese, and said bluntly, "I came out of the camp of the hunters."

"Who is Lie Jiaomi?" Li Dongqing said, "You said that it is useless to anyone, only the Han Chinese, that's the rule from above, sorry, the next one!"

The next person pushed him away. The person watched Li Dongqing not move for a long time. Li Dongqing distributed things as usual, and the person left after a while.This job lasted for three hours, and most people couldn't stand upright at all, but Li Dongqing had to feed the horses, and saw the man again from the stable.

"Why is it you again?" Li Dongqing spread her hands and said, "I have nothing for you."

The man said, "I know you."

"What," Li Dongqing said, "when and where? Maybe I've seen it before. I've been to many places."

The man said, "Liu Zhuo."

Li Dongqing was shocked when he saw that the food trough in the stable was empty, and said, "Wow."

"You stole the horse's grass," Li Dongqing turned to him and asked, "Give it back to me."

The man said, "No, unless you admit that you are Liu Zhuo."

"I am!" Li Dongqing said, "Give it back to me, my God, I will be beaten! Brother, I didn't offend you."

The man glanced at him, but didn't want to return it. Li Dongqing turned around and looked at him carefully: he was still a young man, he seemed to be only in his twenties, with dark skin and loose hair. Done.Li Dongqing actually had no impression that he was real, the man seemed to know what he was thinking, and said in Hun language: "I am Captain Xiaoqi."

"What a great official," Li Dongqing said without raising his head, throwing down the fodder, "what does it have to do with me?"

Then it should have been seen in Lou Fanwang's big tent, no wonder I didn't remember it, Li Dongqing didn't dare to look at the person's face at all.

The man said: "Threatening you, give me three hundred stones of polished rice and silk floss."

"Hahahaha," Li Dongqing laughed, and said, "I won't give you a single grain of rice, just tell others that I am Liu Zhuo."

The Huns said, "They will believe it."

"Of course!" Li Dongqing said, "I'll run, I've been running for several months, and I'm the best at running. Go, I've finished my work, and I'm going back to eat."

Huns:"……"

Li Dongqing walked a few meters, then turned back backwards: "Or I can give you a steamed bun."

The Huns were silent for a moment, then said, "That's fine."

Li Dongqing can get two steamed buns and two portions of pickled vegetables for one night. Li Dongqing also dried frozen radishes for himself. This thing came from the Western Regions. It is a rare thing. Li Dongqing picked it up on the road a few days ago Saved a drunkard from freezing to death, the man was a smuggler who gave Li Dongqing grapes and radishes.The grapes had been eaten, and Li Dongqing, the radish, was hanging out to dry. He thought it was pretty good. Anyway, he always thought it was good when he had a bite.

Li Dongqing took the meal and took it to his room. The Hun was turning over his bed. Li Dongqing closed the door, pretending he didn't see it, and handed him one, and the man took it.

"Has Lie Jiaomi reached this point of desperation?" Li Dongqing finally said this time in the Hun language.

"I ran out of ammunition and food," said the Huns after eating a mouthful of pickled vegetables. "The bridge at the crossing of the Yellow River was broken by the snow, and the army couldn't cross it. It would take half a month's detour. The soldiers couldn't hold on anymore. This thing What is it? Not bad."

"Radish, have you ever eaten it as a Hun?" Li Dongqing asked, "What's your name?"

The Huns said: "Wang Sumin."

"Wang?" Li Dongqing looked up at him, "Xianbei? Or Han?"

"Xianbei." The Huns said.

Li Dongqing smiled and said, "Are you a prince too?"

"No," Wang Sumin said, "my ancestors were the slaves of the Great Chanyu."

"Don't fool me. Since your surname is Wang, you must be a nobleman," Li Dongqing said. "Da Shanyu has captured many nobles from the Xianbei tribe. I dare not provoke you people. Everyone is either rich or noble. After eating, leave Well, to be a man, you must know how to repay your kindness."

Wang Sumin asked him: "Are you staying here?"

"Of course I won't tell you," Li Dongqing took a sip of hot water, suppressed the choking feeling from the steamed buns, and started hiccupping again, saying, "Am I stupid? I won't tell anyone."

Wang Sumin said, "Who caused your injury?"

"I don't know," Li Dongqing said nonchalantly, "They will kill me and they won't report their family name."

"Blind?"

"It seems to be?" Li Dongqing said.

Wang Sumin nodded with her mouth curled up, as if she didn't think it was worth paying attention to, and then said: "You found a good place, who would have thought that you are in Yanmen?"

"There's no one chasing me anymore," Li Dongqing said, "I'm useless."

Wang Sumin said: "No, no, you have to remember, no matter when Yi Zhixie still wants your life, don't underestimate yourself."

Li Dongqing said: "Hurry up after eating, hiccup, get out!"

"I can't go back," Wang Sumin pushed his rice bowl, put his hands on his knees, and said, "I made a mistake, and Lie Jiaomi wanted to kill me, so I escaped."

Li Dongqing glanced at him: "What mistake did you make?"

"Oh," Wang Sumin poured him a bowl of water, "I don't want to mention the past."

"Then survive on your own." Li Dongqing didn't believe his words, and swallowed cold water, "I can only support myself, stay away from me, I will conquer others, and I am a lone star."

Wang Sumin said: "If you give me a hundred shi of polished rice, you can buy my life. I'm not afraid of being beaten."

"No money," Li Dongqing hiccupped, "Why would I want your life, no."

Wang Sumin said: "I heard that your father left you a golden mountain."

"Who said that?" Li Dongqing couldn't laugh or cry, "Anyway, I don't know."

People in the world always spread rumors, what should be believed, and what should not be believed is also convincing. On the contrary, Li Dongqing listened to many things about himself from others.

Wang Sumin: "Are you sure? If you don't buy me, I will die."

Li Dongqing: "..."

"What does it have to do with me?" Li Dongqing said, "I'm not dead, why are you dying? You can't run if you have long legs? Lie Jiaomi chases after you, can you chase you out of the gate?"

"Oh, you care about me so much," Wang Sumin said, "I'll mess with you."

Li Dongqing asked calmly: "I have no money, and I can't be an official. The only way to go back to Chang'an is to die. You want to mess with me? I heard that warriors like you follow the strong, otherwise the Xianbei tribe who will fall into the hands of Maodun I will not steal my life, but surrender to his strength, I will never live against the sun in my life, and I don't want anyone to follow me."

But Wang Sumin got up and began to clean up the dishes, saying: "You don't believe me, why don't you tell me who hurt your eyes, and I will lift his head to you, should you believe me?"

"I don't want anyone's head," Li Dongqing said, "put it down and get out of here."

But Wang Sumin took out something from his pocket and put it on the table.Li Dongqing took a look, but didn't recognize him.

"What is it?"

"The stone," Wang Sumin said, "I picked it up from the Kunlun Mountains. When I went down the mountain, this stone stumbled me. When I walk halfway up the mountain, I will surely be doomed."

"Then what are you showing me?"

"I took it wrong." Wang Sumin took the stone back, put it in his arms, took out another object, and put it on the table.It is a piece of jade, carved into the shape of a fish, and it can be seen at a glance that it is a woman's ornament.

Li Dongqing: "Wrong again?"

"Not this time," Wang Sumin said, "A Han woman died at the bonfire celebration that day, and this belongs to her."

Li Dongqing looked up at him.

Wang Sumin: "I buried her. Lie Jiaomi chased me because the grassland was snowing heavily, and the Huns were cold and hungry. I intercepted the army's food and grass and distributed it to the soldiers."

"We are fellow travelers," Wang Sumin said, "Do you believe me?"

"Believe it or not," Li Dongqing had no choice but to say, "Brother, how many years are you older than me? Let me tell you the truth. I have suffered enough and I don't want to be the same again."

Wang Sumin glanced at him silently, and Li Dongqing also looked back at him.

"A good bird chooses a tree to live in," Wang Sumin said. "After the death of Mao Dun, there is no real king on the grassland. Useless slaughter is cruelty, and unnecessary cruelty is called stupidity. I thought I saw the will of the Kunlun God. , saw a new wolf on the grassland."

"I'm not," Li Dongqing said, "It's very impolite for you to say such things in front of me regardless. I don't want to hear this, Wang Sumin, let me tell you again, I just want to live like this. No one can force me. "

"I didn't force you," Wang Sumin laughed dumbly, "Isn't it okay to be friends?"

Li Dongqing said defensively: "You want to be friends with me? Don't you want to form a bond?"

"It's better to form a bond with you," Wang Sumin said frankly. "Any answer can turn against each other, how deep can the relationship between friends be? I want to form a bond with you as a master and servant. If you don't want to, then forget it. "

Of course Li Dongqing couldn't be happy, he licked the blood with the tip of his knife, and escaped from the tiger's mouth. If he wanted to survive, he braced himself to take precautions.I don't want people to abandon me anymore, or make people give up, or let people betray me.If people don't grow up by struggling, then what's the use of suffering?

But Wang Sumin asked again: "Who hurt you?"

He was always struggling with this issue, so Li Dongqing had no choice but to say: "I really don't know, but even if I knew, I don't intend to take revenge."

Wang Sumin said: "I have to make you believe me, otherwise you say, what do you want me to do?"

"Then tell me, how did you find me?" Li Dongqing asked.

"Guess," Wang Sumin said cheerfully, "I've heard people say that Ning and Chen didn't die at all. The Huns saw Ning and Chen when their horse's hooves stepped through Yanmen. We even lost a cavalryman."

Li Dongqing was stunned for a moment, then said, "When did it happen?"

"You don't know?" Wang Sumin said, "Yesterday."

Li Dongqing: "..."
