Looking back

The north wind blows the ground and the white grass breaks, and Hu Tian is snowing in August.

This is a place where no short grass grows, and the wild grass is half the height of a person even if it is relatively short.The Bell Lake area is adjacent to Russia in the border of the later generations, and it is quite cold. Not only does spring come late, the grass grows until about April, and winter comes very early, and it has turned yellow after the frost in September.The grass is lush and green for only a few months. If the livestock don't take advantage of this time to put on fat, they will barely survive when there is only dry grass to eat in autumn and winter.

The winter is long, and the cold and harsh needless to say, if the snow is thick, it will be called a white disaster by the locals.The coldness is the second thing. Firstly, I am afraid that the wind will blow the white hair, and the wind will blow the snow. Even if the wind blows the loose snow on the ground, it will make it impossible to see each other more than ten feet apart. People and animals will easily get lost and disperse. In the snow, secondly, people are afraid that the strong light reflected by the snow will cause people to suffer from snow blindness, and cattle and sheep will run wild because of this disease. The thawing and freezing hard snow crust can also hurt the hooves and wrists of livestock.

Fortunately, it was only windy last night, and the snow was only one palm thick. According to Hua Zheng, if it was more than two palms thick, it would be bad if the cattle and sheep couldn't dig it.This morning, Yang Kang was helping the tribesmen shovel snow and mow grass, so that they could feed a few half-sized sheep that were still unable to forage on their own.

The one who organized the work was the wife of Yinalichi, the son of Kuduhe of the Oyiti tribe, and the second sister of Huazheng, named Tcha Yijian.Kuduhe once stood on the side of Jamuka and opposed Genghis Khan. When Genghis Khan sent his eldest son Shuchi to lead troops, Kuduhe expressed his willingness to be a guide and persuaded many tribes living in Lake Baikal and the foothills of Daxing’anling to surrender. This rewarded Kuduhe for his great achievements, and married his daughter to him as his daughter-in-law.

Chacha Yijian is also the daughter of Pu Ertie's prostitute, her eyebrows are somewhat similar to Hua Zheng's, her eyes are bright, her complexion is rosy, she is tall and plump, a head taller than Hua Zheng, she is the daughter of the order on the grassland. A standard beauty that everyone envies.Chacha Yijian has given birth to two children, and she is still healthy and full of vitality. She works brightly and neatly, and has a soft and bright voice. When everyone is working, she will sing cheerful tunes, which will make the listeners motivated full.

Huazheng was not physically strong enough to mow the grass, so he sat next to the haystack with the lamb in his arms, picked and picked a handful of tender grass, and fed it to the lamb.After cutting two large piles of grass and tying them up, Tcha Yijian called everyone into the yurt, and saw the dried cow dung burning at the bottom of the pot, and the milk tea in the pot was bubbling endlessly, and the aroma was overflowing.

Even though he was wearing a leather robe and gloves, and was slightly sweaty from working, Yang Kang still felt that his hands and feet were stiff from the cold. He brought a bowl of hot milk tea, and after drinking it, he felt that his internal organs were much warmer.This milk tea is made from rough green tea with thick tea and mellow fresh milk. It is boiled together with millet rice fried with butter. Fragrant milk is fully integrated.The herdsmen are very dependent on milk tea, almost never leaving. When Yang Kang saw someone break the dried meat in a small dish into small pieces and put them in the milk tea, he followed suit and ate with relish.

Everyone spoke Mongolian very quickly, and Yang Kang could barely understand it with his ears upright, but he couldn't do it when he wanted to intervene. He was about to give up picking up this foreign language that he had learned but mostly forgotten, when Hua Zheng told him Said, "Second sister told me, let's make do with this meal, and kill a sheep to entertain guests at night."

Yang Kang turned around to thank Tcha Yijian, then turned his head and smiled at Huazheng, "Is your sister referring to me when she entertains guests, then you are still in my favor?" Huazheng didn't refute, just made a face, Visibly in a good mood.When the irrelevant people left after eating and drinking enough, and when only the two of them were left in the tent and arguing with Yijian, I heard Huazheng say to her sister, "What did the eagle bring back last time, Torre said?" You are collecting."

Chacha Yijian smiled and said, "I knew you didn't come here to see my sister, but to find something." After saying that, he turned around and removed the blanket from the bed, and there were two huge mahogany boxes underneath.It was only then that Yang Kang realized that this place was not only for entertaining people for tea and dinner, but also a tent for teasing and sleeping, and those two boxes seemed to hold her dowry treasures. When he got up and wanted to avoid it, Hua Zheng pulled his sleeves , let him sit down at ease.She opened the box and found that there were only some old leather robes and a few silver and wine utensils inside. She took out a gold embroidered leather bag from it, handed it to Hua Zheng, and said with a smile, "Look See if there is anything missing?"

Huazheng took the skin bag, and put it into his arms without opening it, "Less is less, you can burn it for second sister to keep warm." As he said that, he squeezed into Chicha Yijian's arms, and said coquettishly, "Second sister, don't complain that I don't come to see you. It's so cold here that you can only come in summer, but in winter, even your nose will freeze off."

Tcha Yijian held her in his arms, pinched her nose with one hand, and said with a smile, "Show me whether it's gone or not?" After the two of them laughed and quarreled, Tcha Yijian said, "That's how we were when we were young. It's cold, how long have you been to the south, are you not used to it?"

The Hongji tribe of the two mothers, Pu Ertie, has been nomadic for generations on this Hulunbeier grassland. This Hulun Lake is the place where Temujin got married that day, and Huazheng also lived here for a long time when he was a child.Huazheng smiled and said, "I'm used to warm places, so I don't want to come back here to suffer from the cold. You see, after my father went to the south, has he ever returned here? I almost walked to Dalai Nuoer, but luckily I met someone who said you were here." here."

The tribe that Tucha Yijian married originally settled in the Siberian plains. The so-called Dalai Nuoer, which means a lake like a sea in Mongolian, is exactly the North Sea mentioned in history, and Lake Baikal in later Russia.Chacha Yijian sighed, "It's been getting colder and colder these few years, and all the tribes are migrating south in winter. A few months ago, Father Khan officially recruited the warriors of our tribe to participate in the conquest of Xixia. I wanted to go to Yunnei together." When I was in Zhouzhou, I took what you wanted. If I had known that you were so anxious to find it by yourself in a snowy day, I should have given it to someone else. It may be dangerous, but I am safer here, so I will leave it to her."

Huazheng asked, "Sister San has gone back to the west?" She said "Hi" softly, "I missed her wedding again."

Chacha Yijian sighed, "Alahai is the smartest and has the most ideas. Apart from mother, she is the only one who can persuade father Khan. I am also surprised that those people from the Wanggu tribe rebelled and killed her husband, and she also escaped with her life hanging by a thread. After coming out, why did you stop my father Khan from slaughtering the city, and go back and continue to live with them. The people of the Wanggu tribe all settled in the city, and the gods they talked, ate, and believed were different from the Mongols, let alone her newly married My husband is not as prestigious as the previous one, so it will be a lot of hard work this time."

Huazheng bowed her head and said silently, "Third sister said that it is enough to kill only those who participated in the assassination of her husband. She is sure that she is willing to go back, and second sister should not worry too much. As for her new husband, although he is slightly less prestigious, Some, but it’s not enough for a man to be able to fight, the rest is ultimately up to Third Sister to take care of.”

Chicha Yijian smiled, stretched out his hand to pinch her face, and said with a smile, "As long as you can fight, that's enough, no wonder you found the son-in-law of the golden knife. Although Guo Jing's child is a foreigner, he is not as courageous as a Mongolian man in martial arts." Poor, if you make more military exploits in the future, you will naturally have a fief of yours, and then you will also choose a warm place to take your sister to take care of her."

Huazheng snorted, "Second sister, don't make fun of me, this son-in-law was chosen by my father, and it's none of my business." The two sisters talked and laughed, and Yang Kang was sitting on pins and needles beside him, so he had to pretend that he didn't understand anything. .Fortunately, someone soon came to yell at Yijian. She told Huazheng to rest well, and said to Yang Kang, deliberately speaking clearly and slowly, "Guests who come from afar, please don't be disgusted and treat this place as home."

Yang Kang bowed to thank him, and then left in a hurry, not knowing which family's dispute he was going to adjudicate.Huazheng had already opened the skin bag at this time, took out a roll of canvas, and slowly spread it out against the skylight from the vents of the dome.

Her expression was joyful, as if she was admiring some masterpiece. After a while, she saw that Yang Kang didn't come over to look at it, so she raised her eyebrows and said, "Aren't you curious?"

Yang Kang said, "Isn't it Zhou Botong's Nine Yin Manual?" Huazheng glanced sideways, "Why did you guess so quickly, I really don't give face."

Yang Kang laughed and said, "You said that you brought the white eagles to the island, let Huang Rong see them, and then released them back to Mongolia. Didn't you just send the copied Nine Yin Scriptures back to someone to keep them? On the island, when you were asked if you got Jiuyinna, you didn’t say yes or no, it’s definitely not that you didn’t get it, nor was it sure.”

Huazheng blinked, "It's not that I'm hiding it from you. I don't know if the white eagle will be sent back. Even if I send it back, someone may not be able to keep it for me. Wouldn't it make you happy to say that I have already got it?" .”

Yang Kang didn't blame her for not talking, sighed, "What kind of joy is this? Guo Jing has already talked about the healing methods on Jiuyin, and we have used them, isn't it impossible?"

Huazheng gave him a sideways glance, "Tsk tsk, with the Nine Suns Manual, do you start to look down on this?" After that, he smiled slightly and snorted, "I didn't expect you to appreciate it. Anyway, I said it at the time , I take Jiuyin, you take Jiuyang, now that you have done everything, I have to keep my word."

Yang Kang was a little annoyed when he heard this, "I said, you came to this icy and snowy place in winter just to give me Jiuyin back to Jiuyang?" Hua Zheng narrowed his eyes with a smile when he heard this, "Don't you think it's too much trouble?" Too cold?"

"Isn't this nonsense, after traveling such a long distance, and it's freezing cold, can you be more careful and take care of yourself?" Yang Kang originally thought she was just sad and wanted to go home, but when he came, he found out that her family was not there. Not all here, "I got Jiuyang, it's true, but you can't practice, why are you still thinking about the agreement at that time?"

"Whether you can get it or not is your business, and whether you keep the promise is my business. Just like it's your business if you can practice, and it's my business if I can't."

Yang Kang was very distant when he heard this, and he was a little dissatisfied, "Do you still want to distinguish between you and me so clearly?" Huazheng heard this, tilted his head and smiled, "Are you angry?"

"Of course I'm angry. The past is the past, and the future is the future. Do you want to make a clear distinction like this for the rest of your life?"

Huazheng lowered his head and said, "I don't have a lifetime anymore."

"I don't believe it. Even if Huang Yaoshi said that you are only two years old, even if Xiaoyi said so, even if the Shaolin monks said that you are not long to live, I still don't believe it." Huazheng sneered, "Then how do you believe it? Wait for you Do you believe me after watching me die?"

Yang Kang grabbed her hand and looked into her eyes, "I know you haven't accepted your fate yet, you have other plans, and there must be a way."

Hua Zheng was stunned for a while, the two stared at each other for a long time, and finally Hua Zheng laughed first, "So what if I have a plan, how many years have I been thinking about this mess, I've been calculating it, It’s not just counting until the end of the plot. I never counted what will happen when I’m 20, 30, 40, maybe it’s because it’s going to end like this...”

She sighed slightly, "When I finish what I have to do, maybe it will disappear like a puff of smoke, maybe I will go to the hell to suffer in reincarnation, maybe I will go back and find that this is all Nankeyimeng, maybe I will go to another place The world starts over with a new identity. But you are going to suffer in this world."

Hua Zheng suddenly reached out and stroked his eyebrows, with a trace of pity in his eyes, Yang Kang saw his face reflected in her transparent eyes, motionless as if he had been cast with a fixing spell, he could only help the coldness finger drawing on brow.

"It's too easy to die, but it's too hard to live. In fact, it's okay, I will always hold you back. I'm here, and you can't do a lot of things that you can't do. It doesn't matter whether you want to save the world or conquer the world." Well, it's up to you, it doesn't matter if I don't see you, and I don't have to bear the burden of making you violate the principle."

She handed the first volume of the Nine Yin Scriptures into his hands, "Isn't this good? I owe you, I don't want to pay it back, and I can't pay it back, so just renege on it. At least I made the appointment. "

The author has something to say: The update has been delayed for a long time, I am very sorry...
