The moment Shuotuo walked out of the tent, a figure not far away suddenly occupied all of Shuotuo's sight. That was the figure of Brother Dong. Although twenty-two years have passed, there has never been a day in Shuotuo's heart.

It is precisely because of this figure that Shuotuo has been able to live until now.

At this time, Brother Dong is much more mature and charming compared to the pure and innocent appearance of the past. However, there is almost no change in his appearance. He is still so charming, still so graceful and unparalleled, with her presence.

This place will definitely attract everyone's attention, but her own eyes no longer have the playfulness and agility of the past, replaced by a look of indifference and sadness that see through everything.

Shuotuo once sketched the scene of his reunion with Brother Dong more than once in his dreams. He was holding Nurhaci’s head, and she threw herself into his arms like before; he was holding Nurhachi’s head, and she was crying.

Liu Manmian turned around and left; he was holding Nurhachi's head in his hand, while she looked resentfully and said nothing; but she never thought that this meeting would be so sudden.

He killed Nurhachi and failed to fulfill his promise to avenge Dong Ge's father. At this moment, he really didn't know how to face Dong Ge. Shuo Tuo felt that his mind had been completely empty and he just stared blankly.

That figure has haunted me countless times.

At this time, how much he longed to rush to Brother Dong's side, hold her tightly in his arms desperately, and tell him how much he missed her, but his reason gave another answer.

At this moment, Brother Dong, who was not far away, seemed to have noticed Shuotuo's existence. He turned around and looked in Shuotuo's direction. In an instant, Shuotuo felt that the beating of his heart was completely out of control.

"Did she recognize me?"

"She recognized me!"

"What should I do? If he asks me where I have been in the past ten years, how should I answer?"

Just for a moment, Shuotuo's thoughts became messy, and his body seemed to be no longer under his control. He originally had plans to escape, but at this time his body didn't react at all, and he could only watch helplessly in his dream.

The figure that had appeared countless times was slowly walking towards him.

Her steps are still so light and steady, and her appearance is still so bright and moving, but there always seems to be a touch of coldness hidden in her originally clear eyes. Although ordinary people can't see it at all, Shuotuo can clearly see it.

The coolness that felt so faint that it was almost non-existent was even though the hottest flame could not melt it away.

"Why is there neither surprise nor blame nor resentment in her eyes, but a touch of coldness?" Shuotuo had thousands of thoughts running through his mind at this moment, and his heartbeat followed Brother Dong's approach.

Becoming more and more intense.

Finally, Brother Dong's footsteps stopped in front of Shuotuo. Shuotuo acted as if he was still a child who had made a mistake. He lowered his head slightly and did not dare to look into Brother Dong's eyes. He didn't know what would happen next.

What happened, and I don’t know how I should respond next.

There was silence. Although it was only a short moment, it felt like thousands of years had passed in Shuotuo. The feeling was even more difficult than the twelve years he spent in the Nurhachi camp.

"Mr. Peng

,Why did you come in person this time?" Brother Dong said softly.

"Mr. Peng?! What Mr. Peng?!" In an instant, Shuotuo suddenly raised his head and looked at Brother Dong blankly. At this time, he felt that his brain was completely exhausted.

"This is in compliance with Lord Baylor's request. I am here to give him some things that he has ordered before!" Just as Shuotuo was stunned, another voice immediately sounded.

Shuotuo knew the owner of that voice, and it was none other than the old man who had officially rescued him and had taken care of him for several days. It turned out that when Brother Dong walked in his direction just now, he didn't recognize him, but stood beside him at this moment.

The old man named Peng beside him.

"He didn't recognize me!"

"He didn't recognize me!!"

Although they are the same two sentences, they represent two different feelings for Shuotuo. The first sentence is about happiness, while the second sentence is full of regret.

Looking at Brother Dong who was only one step away from him, he felt so conflicted. At this moment, he seemed to hope that Brother Dong could recognize him, but also how afraid he was that Brother Dong would recognize him. He seemed a little at a loss for a moment.

As for Brother Dong, she never laid her eyes on the tall man next to Mr. Peng from the beginning to the end. Even though the man was standing behind Mr. Peng, her eyes did not stay for a moment. In her opinion,

, the man behind her was no different from the men she had met before who admired her beauty.

She has experienced too many such scenes, and it seems that there is nothing in this world that can stop her gaze.

"So, is there any news about the matter I entrusted to you?" Brother Dong's beautiful eyes suddenly looked at Mr. Peng with expectancy and continued.

Hearing Brother Dong's words, a look of apology and guilt suddenly appeared on Mr. Peng's face, and he slowly shook his head: "I'm really sorry, Princess. I asked many friends, but there is still no news."

Seeing Mr. Peng's appearance at this time, Brother Dong's eyes dimmed instantly, and he looked as if he had been emptied of time. He turned around and left in a daze.

Her back was so lonely, forming an extremely disharmonious existence with her graceful figure. It felt like fallen leaves swaying in the autumn wind, lonely and helpless, which gave people a sense of loneliness.

A deep sadness that cannot be resolved.

Although Shuotuo didn't know what Brother Dong and Peng Lao were talking about just now, looking at Brother Dong's lonely and weak back, Shuotuo felt as if his heart had been drained out. It felt like

It was back to that moment twelve years ago, when a thin girl was lying in front of her father's body.

"Oh, what a pitiful man!" Elder Peng sighed and then patted Shuotuo's shoulder gently.

Shuotuo also woke up suddenly under Mr. Peng's gentle pat, "Mr. Peng..."

"She is the most beautiful Jurchen, Ye He's princess Dong Ge, but it's a pity."

Obviously, Shuotuo was extremely abnormal at this time, but in the eyes of Mr. Peng, he was just like those men who saw Brother Dong for the first time and were attracted by his beauty. Mr. Peng did not feel anything abnormal.

"Mr. Peng, what news did she just tell you that she wanted to inquire about it?" Shuotuo, who had woken up, hurriedly asked Mr. Peng. He was now eager to know what made Brother Dong so lost.

"Oh, this was all twelve years ago. I was just a steward of the caravan. I came here to run the business with my old master. At that time, the princess wanted us to help her find a man named Shuotuo.

However, I am ashamed that I have not been able to get any information until now. And last month, the princess asked me to help her find some medicinal materials. It is said that one of her pets has a very strange disease.

, need to use it to save lives.”

Mr. Peng spoke slowly, his tone was so calm, but every word that fell in Shuotuo's ears was like a series of thunder bombs constantly roaring in his ears, and at the same time, the news continued.

trembling.

At this time, Shuotuo finally knew that Brother Dong had been searching for him for twelve years. He seemed to see Brother Dong coming with expectant eyes just like before, but he could only leave in such a disappointed and lonely way. Shuotuo now

I just felt like there was a sharp blade stirring fiercely in my heart.

Suddenly, for the first time, Shuotuo began to doubt himself and whether the decision he made twelve years ago was correct. He understood what these twelve years meant to Brother Dong. In the past twelve years, Brother Dong had made another decision.

So many things were weighing on her, and in the past twelve years, not only had he not been able to help her solve her problems, he had instead become a concern and a burden in her heart.

And when he heard the second half of Mr. Peng's words, his whole body was trembling. Pet! Shuotuo almost instantly thought of the thing he and Brother Dong found deep in the grassland when they were young.

A little black snake—Xiao Hei.

Mr. Peng obviously noticed Shuotuo's abnormality and hurriedly asked: "Mangu, what's wrong with you?"

Shuotuo tried his best to answer calmly: "Mr. Peng, no, it's nothing. Maybe I have been lying down for too long and I feel a little weak."

Mr. Peng nodded slowly and patted Shuotuo's shoulder: "Yes, you have been in coma for a few days and your body has not fully recovered yet. Go back and rest quickly. It's cold here. Don't catch the cold again!"

Shuotuo nodded, bowed his hands to Mr. Peng, turned around and returned to the yurt.

Standing in the room, Shuotuo could only feel that his body was still shaking uncontrollably at this time, and his hands had become extremely pale due to excessive exertion. He knew what Mr. Peng said about the pet that meant to Brother Dong.

What are you talking about? It's a pet that the two of them have raised together since childhood. It can even be called a bond between them.

Although he really wanted to know how sick the little guy was, he could only try to calm himself down. After all, he absolutely could not and did not have the courage to rush to Brother Dong's place like this. He could only calm down.

Quietly waiting for the night to fall.

Although it was only half a day, Shuotuo felt as if he had been waiting for hundreds of years. He had never felt that time was so long. It could even be called torture.
