The weather became clearer the next day, and the sun shone brightly before the twilight hour arrived.
The snow that has not yet been swept away is as soft as down under the sun. It is the first to turn into water along the edges, and along the low-lying areas of the sect, it forms a gurgling clear stream.
Xia Zhao started learning very early. He was alone when he came, and all his clothes were ripped off by dead people who came along the way. So now he left with only an ordinary long sword and a small baggage. The change of clothes in the baggage were also from unknown victims.
Of the refugees in the wilderness.
When he came out, there was someone outside the door. It was the little girl he was trying to find.
The little girl was sitting at the stone table in the courtyard, with two small bundles in front of her. She raised her little head and was looking at the sea of clouds in the sky.
"Ah Li." Xia Zhaoxue walked over and said.
Xia Zhaoyi looked back and smiled at him.
After getting up with the small bundle in his arms, Xia Zhaoyi walked over and said, "Second brother."
"You haven't recovered yet, so you shouldn't sit in the snow for too long," Xia Zhaoxue said.
"Second brother is not in good health either," Xia Zhaoyi said, handing over one of the bundles. "In this bundle are some pills and ointments I made yesterday. Some are for conditioning the second brother's health, and some are for strengthening the body."
, there are also medicines for sores, wounds, bone pain, and medicines for external application and internal use. I have marked them all. I am afraid that you will be inconvenienced on the road, and you are too kind-hearted to give them to others indiscriminately, so I don’t do much. You
It’s easy to carry around.”
Xia Zhaoxue raised his hand to take it. Although the baggage was small, it still had some weight.
"You are full of kindness," Xia Zhaoxue said, "Did my little sister tell you that?"
"Little sister?" Xia Zhaoyi smiled, "I am the little sister, and the person you are talking to is my sister."
Xia Zhao learned a lesson and smiled too, with a lonely smile.
"How about," Xia Zhaoyi said, "Second brother, why don't you call me little sister?"
She raised her head slightly, the skylight and cloud shadows were reflected, and her eyes were bright.
Xia Zhaoxue looked at her, calmed down, and shook his head: "No."
He couldn't scream.
Xia Zhaoyi was not sad either. She lowered her head and opened the other bundle, then handed it over: "Here."
Xia Zhaoxue took it. This package was much lighter. It contained an envelope, a small purse, a small stone tied with long purple tassels, and a very small cloth bag.
"Inside the envelope are three places where you can contact me in the future," Xia Zhaoyi said, "Although I said that I would send a letter to my second brother every ten days, so I would naturally leave my address on the letter, but I still
Take precautions to be prepared for any trouble."
"There is some silver in the wallet, not a lot. Too much will make people covet it, but too little will make it inconvenient for my second brother to do things."
"This little stone," Xia Zhaoyi lowered his eyes and said softly, "If there is any danger or danger that is so urgent that I can't even write a signature, my second brother can ask someone to bring this little stone to find me.
I hope... my second brother will never need this stone."
Xia Zhaoxue picked up the small stone and wove it into exquisite long purple tassels. The tassels were soft and smooth. The center of the small stone was penetrated, and the holes were round and delicate.
"Inside the cloth bag are three small oil ball lamps," Xia Zhaoyi said. "We are marching and fighting, and they are essential for night travel. I have filled up the lamp oil, which will last for a long time."
Xia Zhaoxue put down the small stone and raised his eyes to look at this strange sister, speechless for a moment.
These things were prepared very properly and carefully, but he couldn't do anything for this sister at all, couldn't give anything.
"Thank you, Ah Li." Xia Zhaoxue said.
"There is still a lot of dry food at the foot of the mountain, and a horse specially prepared for the second brother. Lao Tong and Zhi Changle will be waiting for you down there," Xia Zhaoyi said with a smile, "But don't worry, I told you to go down at about
In the afternoon, before then, they should go to play. Even if the second brother goes, there won't be anyone, so why don't you go and have breakfast now."
"You don't have to do so much." Xia Zhaoxue said hoarsely.
"You go have breakfast," Xia Zhaoyi smiled again, "I'll go back and rest, we... each take care of it."
"Take care of yourself." Xia Zhaoxue said.
"I will," Xia Zhaoyi raised his hand and saluted, "Second brother, take care of yourself too. If we meet again one day, my second brother will definitely become a great hero again."
big hero.
Xia Zhaoxue lowered his eyes and looked at the two small bundles in his hands.
He could no longer find the passionate passion of his youth, and the warmth of the embers had turned cold to ice.
The great hero, the great chivalrous man, that young man who dreamed of becoming the best in the world, dreamed of saving the people of the world, dreamed of protecting all the poor people in the world, and dreamed of turning the tide with his bare hands and breaking through mysteries with wisdom and courage. He had long since grown up with the death of his father, brother and sister.
Buried in the vast snow in the north. Those persistence, those fearlessness, those frivolities have been blown away by the wind from south to north, and have traveled far away to the end of the world.
He is now serving as a soldier, and what supports him is nothing but hatred.
Lifting his eyes and looking at the sweetly smiling little girl with dewy skin in front of him, Xia Zhaoxue smiled and raised his hand to gently rub her fresh and soft hair that had just been washed last night.
"Silly girl," Xia Zhaoxue said, "I will try my best, I will try my best to be a great hero."
"In this world, second brother still has me." Xia Zhaoyi looked into his eyes and said seriously.
"Okay," Xia Zhaoxue nodded, "You can go back and rest and get well soon."
"Um."
After returning, Xia Zhaoyi did not lie down on the bed. She sat against the window, resting her arm on her pillow, and looked up at the white clouds outside the window.
I don’t know how much time had passed, but Zhili came to find her and said that her second brother had gone down the mountain.
Xia Zhaoyi nodded, the wind blew her broken hair away, and her little face was as smooth as jade in the sky.
"Sister, what are you thinking about?" Zhili asked.
What are you thinking about?
Xia Zhaoyi suddenly smiled.
She remembered her second brother who was about the same age as her now when she was very young.
That young boy in his teens, he was fascinated by reading biographies, and he was full of passion. He wanted to be a hero, travel around the world, kill everyone, and slay demons.
So, he really ran away, and ran out of the capital alone. As a result, he was defrauded of money and swords, and lived on the street. After three days of hunger, he was rewarded with a steamed bun by an old beggar. Finally, he went to the local people in disgrace.
The officials were sent back to the capital respectfully.
He was very unconvinced and claimed that he was living a good life outside. He told a lot of lies. After his father exposed him, he burst into tears and ran back to his room with red eyes. He did not speak to his family for ten days.
After she returned to Beijing during the Chinese New Year, she found out about this, and she naively thought that her second brother should be in need of comfort. But before she went to find him, he came looking for her with a long sword in high spirits.
"Little sister, look, am I handsome in this pose?" The second brother Hengjian showed off a look he had been studying for a long time, with a proud look on his face.
She didn't think it looked good, so he compared her three or four times in a row.
"In the future, if I strive to be the best and become famous all over the world, someone will build a stone statue exactly like my own!" the young man said proudly, "I want to be an unparalleled hero!"
…
"Great hero," Xia Zhaoyi looked out the window, his eyes gradually turning red, and whispered, "Second brother, have a safe trip."
