The houses in Yuguan are all made of earthen walls. There is no way. The only thing that is not scarce in Mobei is earth. It is still unrealistic to build houses made of gray bricks on the border.

Lin Yi stood outside his mud-walled house, looking at the cracks in the mud wall due to drought, and could faintly see the scene inside the house. Then he had to turn around and complain to Liu Wenjing: "You said, the money allocated by the court every year is still too much.

Quite a few, not to mention building a brick wall that is warm in winter and cool in summer, can't you even complete the earth wall?"

The money in Liu Wenjing's hand was squeezed hard, and she quietly put the money into her pocket, with dissatisfaction on her face: "Logically speaking, the money allocated can be used to renovate the rotten earthen walls of all the sergeants in Yuguan."

There is no problem with the house. But after layers of exploitation, there will always be some oil and water left in the hands. Otherwise, how can you afford to worry about taking care of the money?"

Listening to Liu Wenjing's words and those subtle and undetectable movements, Lin Yi smiled and stretched out his white hand: "I know you have prepared money for me, no need to hide it anymore, just hand it over!"

"You! You are indeed a monster..." Liu Wenjing felt helpless and did not do anything necessary.

After handing over the money, Lin Yi took out something wrapped in black cloth and about three feet long from the gap in the earthen wall. He tied it around his waist with a not very thick rope, and then put the thing away from his back.

superior.

After shaking it gently twice to make sure it wouldn't fall off, Lin Yi started to walk.

The sergeants who had been familiar with him for the past two years gathered at the gate of the city. Everyone had the same emotions on their faces, without any expressions or eyes of reluctance. For sergeants like them, their only wish for many years was to leave this border town. At the same time,

They didn't dare to leave, and their tangled emotions were clearly displayed on their faces.

Lin Yi raised his hand and patted the old lieutenant on the shoulder. He had been a neighbor for two years. For this honest lieutenant, he felt that he should be a sergeant who should not appear at the border. "Are you planning to prevent me from leaving?

Are they all gathering together to block my way to a great future?"

Joking words should naturally show a joking mood. The lieutenant smiled and said: "In that case, I won't disturb your bright future."

As he spoke, the lieutenant took out the yellowed book from the tattered and dirty old coat. The cover had long been gnawed to pieces by the rats in the city's earthen walls. He gently patted the dust off the book and handed it to him solemnly.

Lin Yi's actions clearly show how much he values ​​this book and his future.

"When I was a soldier in Beihe Road many years ago, I bought this from an old man who set up a stall. He said that it contains profound and mysterious cultivation methods. I don't know whether it is true or not. If you want to practice, then give it to me.

Here you go!”

Lin Yi took the book from the lieutenant's hand, placed it solemnly close to his chest, and then patted it three times. In the customary etiquette of sergeants in Yuguan, three times means that they are extremely cherished. Whether it is kowtow,

Or something else, three clicks means that they will stick to this promise with their lives.

No one said goodbye to him, no one cried with him.

In a daze, Liu Wenjing saw the scene of Lin Yi's first arrival, and her heart palpitated: "Remember to go home often."

"Hello!"

There are white hands swaying in the wind in the distance, and hearty answers are mixed with subtle trembling.

...

Lin Yi recalled every bit of his time in Yuguan, recalling the past events that he once dared not reveal, and his eyes slowly became moist. In such a carefree world, if there is no goal at all, there should be hope for living.

Like the sparks of lights outside the window slowly extinguishing.

"Lights? Starlight? Twinkling?"

Lin Yi, who fell in the dilapidated thatched house, seemed to be ejected quickly by a spring. He squatted by the dilapidated window covered only by a few pieces of oilcloth, alert to the changes happening outside. The blood and lights flickered, stimulating Lin Yi in the night.

s eyes.

The smell of blood slowly filled his breath, and his soothing brows suddenly frowned, and he stared at the changes outside. He was wondering, he had entered the boundary of Hebei Road, and there were a large number of troops stationed behind Yuguan. Now,

Where do these bandits who keep killing people come from?

Killing is not the end. Lin has seen many killings and does not think it is painful for those in the village. In his opinion, living may be the greatest pain. The marshal of the Northern Army does not seem to be as good as he imagined.

Not that upright either.

He squinted his eyes and sat by the window, quietly watching the constant killing outside. Sharp knives fell on the people, and the cruelty was vividly displayed on the bandits wearing tattered armor. Lin also felt a little tired.

, as long as the bandits don’t come to provoke him...

But...when he saw the strong man with scars on his face holding a knife and slashing in front of the lonely and helpless child, his calm mood like an old dog changed slightly.

He held the package tightly in his hand, kicked up his heels slightly, and used his toes to fly out immediately.

Torn pieces of black cloth were scattered in the air, and the child's cry was loud and incompatible among the red blood and hot fire. Lin Yi hugged the child, holding a shining silver sword in his hand, without leaving a trace on the blade.

The blood stains showed an icy chill.

The eyes of the strong man holding the knife were focused and scattered, and he was mumbling something, but he couldn't pronounce any clear words. He couldn't believe that he would die like this. The blood flow in his body was accelerating, but no blood was flowing.

Come out, he is still breathing...

Tick ​​tock! Tick tock!

Blood flowed from his throat, the knife in the strong man's hand clattered to the ground, and his body fell directly to the ground as if it had lost its support.

Lin Yi has always been professional in killing people!

So, he put down the child and stared indifferently at the bandits who stopped killing in front of him. He muttered something in his mouth, but the bandits opposite could not hear his words at all, and showed a look of confusion and cruelty.

I don't want to get my hands dirty by killing you!

This was what Lin Yi said, and no one could hear it. When he drew his sword again, his figure kept shuttling among the bandits. Most of the bandits had not yet reacted, and they only tightened their grip on the broken knife in their hands when they felt themselves

His fingers lost the strength to hold the handle of the knife.

The afterimage of the sword left in the red firelight lightly scratched their throats. Lin Yi felt that he was kind enough, and killing was never accompanied by pain, but his killings always pursued unreasonable speed.

Guaranteed to leave no pain or scars!

In just a few dozen breaths, Lin Yi stood behind the bandits and put the long sword behind his back. He clenched his left hand into a fist and stretched out his fingers one by one.

"One...two..."

As the numbers came out of his mouth, lifeless bodies fell to the ground. The screams that had stopped long ago turned into heavy breathing. The mother, whose child was still alive, ran over in tears, picked up the child and ran away. Not only did she not

I thanked him, even showing disgust and fear for him on my face.

"Fear is indeed a big mountain in people's hearts!"

Lin Yi, who hadn't used a sword for a long time, had a slight tremor in his wrist. He couldn't help but shake his head. In his opinion, his skills were a lot rusty. Even if he hadn't practiced, his wrist shouldn't be so sore!

Starlight and flint flickered on his face, and his slightly rosy skin became even redder in the red light. In the eyes of those people who had heavy breathing or even asthma, Lin Yi at this moment was no different from those bandits!

His indifferent eyes swept over the two subtle points, and the biting night wind blew through his hair indifferently. He was very excited for a long time. He did not choose to leave. After all, he always had a beginning and an end.
