At that time, Yunwan was not called Yunwan. She had a name that belonged to a Yuqi person. However, the name was too obscure and difficult to pronounce. If she were not a Yuqi person, she would not be able to understand it. Even Yunwan herself, after entering After living in Daluo Country for many years, I feel a little embarrassed when I think of my name back then.
The Yuqi people are not people who belong to any particular country, but are wandering wanderers in various places, wandering with no fixed abode, making their home all over the world, or they may have no home in all the world.
From south to north, from east to west, Yuqi people have traveled to every corner of the world, and have seen scenery all over the world, from uninhabited deserts to bustling and scattered towns, experienced endless heavy snow, and I have seen the blue water and sky on the coast.
But no place belongs to the Yuqi people.
Perhaps only that small forest belonged to them, but now, that forest has their owner.
But he is not a Yuqi person.
As early as more than a hundred years ago, the Yuqi people were just savages living in remote and desolate mountains and forests.
There are no countries, no towns, no dynasties, no rise or fall.
It's just a settlement living in the mountains and forests.
And this mountain is called Yuqi Mountain.
Just like Shen Fengxu once read in the book "The Peach Blossom Spring": "If you ask what time it is now, you don't know that there was Han, regardless of the Wei and Jin Dynasties."
The life of the Yuqi people is also very simple and comfortable. Apart from the most ordinary life, they only have to worship the gods.
The Yuqi people do not just believe in a certain god, but believe in all the creatures on the mountain.
From the tall and mighty tigers in the mountains, to the white snakes that shuttle through the forest waiting for opportunities to hurt people, to the eagles that hover in the sky to hunt, and even the bugs that can be seen everywhere in the mountains and forests, they are all gods worshiped by the Yuqi people. .
But all living things.
However, these creatures do not include the heroic army of the Great Luo Kingdom that suddenly broke into Yuqi Mountain.
That year, there was an additional mountain on the territory of Daluo Kingdom, Yuqi Mountain.
The Yuqi people naturally became the people of Daluo Kingdom.
The king of Daluo Kingdom did not let the Yuqi people continue to live on Yuqi Mountain, but instead asked a group of Yuqi people to move into Daluo Kingdom.
Anyone from Daluo who has seen Yuqi people will have the beauty of Yuqi people deeply engraved in their minds.
The skin of Yuqi people is always as white as snow, as delicate as porcelain, and their faces are beautiful and bright, just like an immortal descended into the world.
As if being favored by the gods.
The men in Daluo Kingdom dream of marrying the beauty from Chuqi, while the women dream of marrying a man from Chuqi.
But they soon died down.
Without him, Yuqi people always have to have some marks on their faces. If they ask to marry or marry a Yuqi person, they must have the Yuqi people's marks on their faces.
No matter male or female.
Women don't want to damage their appearance, while men argue that they are married to wives and not married couples. Why do they have to have such a mark on their faces that can never be washed away for life?
Then, people in Daluo Kingdom began to question the mark on the face of Yuqi Man.
Since then, there seems to have been a rift between the two races.
At first, he questioned the mark on his face, and then he looked at the complexion that was so beautiful that it could even be described as eerie.
And from that day on, things started to change.
Successive disasters have swept across the land where the Yuqi people live, from mountain collapse to floods bursting embankments, including but not limited to this.
Corpses littered the fields, and there were countless casualties.
Although there were casualties among the Yuqi people, the population of the Yuqi people was originally small, but for a large country like Daluo, there were countless casualties, which was incomparable to the number of people who lost their lives among the Yuqi people.
Everyone in the Daluo Kingdom said that it was the arrival of the Yuqi people that brought about such a disaster.
Yes, it's all Yuqi people's fault.
In the eyes of Daluo people, the Yuqi people are really weird and couldn't be more weird.
In addition to their appearance and marks, Yuqi people also always offer sacrifices to gods.
Sacrifice to gods is not a new thing. Daluo Kingdom also has special festivals and rituals related to sacrifice to gods. After all, sacrifice to gods is a very mysterious and solemn matter. It requires bathing in incense and being sincere.
But the Yuqi people's sacrifice to the gods was really too casual and disrespectful.
It is simply blasphemy against God.
Yes, who would worship insects crawling on the ground as gods?
It's just crazy.
But Yuqi people have always been like this and are used to it.
But the people of Daluo Kingdom can't stand it no matter what.
There are also other explanations for the Yuqi people's beauty, which is like a banished immortal descending into the world.
He is not a banished immortal who comes to the world, but a monster who brings disaster to the country and the people.
The rift between the two clans has spread quietly, and it seems that it may break apart at any time.
What really shattered the relationship between the two clans was a war more than a hundred years ago. The flames of war spread from Yannan Pass and burned away the remaining bond between the two clans.
That year, Yannan Pass in Daluo Kingdom was attacked by neighboring countries.
Yannan Pass has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. Countless poems have described the importance of Yannan Pass.
Yannan Pass has a dangerous terrain and is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is the last barrier of the Daluo Kingdom. Jianghuai and Changning to the south of Yannan Pass are all plain hinterlands. If the enemy breaks through Yannan Pass, they can march straight in.
There have been many poems about this place since ancient times, such as "If Hu's army breaks through Yannan Pass, thousands of miles of prosperity will fly into ashes", "The blood of the lonely Yannan army is not dry yet, and the hatred is buried in the battlefield and refuses to return". It can be seen that Yannan Pass is important to Daluo
, how important is it?
But just like this, Yannan Pass was actually breached by the enemy.
That year at Yannan Pass, the scorching sun was scorching overhead, the dilapidated military flag was stuck sideways on the ground, and bursts of yellow sand were blowing in our face, bewildering people's eyes and also bewildering the hearts of the people of Daluo.
Even though many years later, Yannan Pass was recaptured by the generals of the Daluo Kingdom, the torn Yannan Pass was still a wound that could not be healed on the Daluo Kingdom. It was so bloody that it hurt the eyes and even the heart.
The burning pain.
It is an irresolvable hatred.
But neighboring countries are still prosperous and powerful, and this cannot be shaken overnight.
But the pain of Yannan Pass being breached tormented the people of Daluo day and night, and the anger that could not be vented finally poured out on the Yuqi people.
If it weren't for the Yuqi people, there would not have been such a disaster. The source of everything comes from the Yuqi people. They are the root of all sins, the cause of the ruin of the country and the family, and heinous sinners.
It is even more painful for the people of Daluo country.
As a result, the Yuqi people were exiled.
No one from Yuqi can step into the territory of Daluo Kingdom.
Since then, there have been no Yuqi people in Daluo Kingdom, and the Yuqi Mountain that existed back then has already been renamed Wuming Mountain.
Later...
There is no more news about the Yuqi people in this world.
The traces of the Yuqi people had gradually disappeared from the sight of the Daluo people.
Some people say that they have wandered to the end of the world, some people say that the Yuqi people who deserved death have finally died in natural and man-made disasters, and some people say that they were originally banished immortals who came to the world and have now returned to their hometown.
Rumors abound, but no one has ever seen the Yuqi Man again.
The Yuqi people also gradually disappeared along with the legend.
But the story doesn't end there.
The Yuqi people who were expelled from the Daluo Kingdom began to wander for a hundred years. They had no fixed place to live and had no home. They could only wander around helplessly. Outside the borders of the Daluo Kingdom, in addition to hearing about Yuqi, they also
After people heard the news, the neighboring countries that did not allow the Yuqi people to enter the country were left with uninhabited places with harsh environments.
It seems that what awaits the people in Yuqi is only despair.
They wandered all the way, struggling to survive. At first, they stepped into the vast desert, and everything they saw was flying sand. However, they could only find water sources in the bottomless sand layer, and they endured constant pressure on their heads.
The scorching sun also had to endure the biting and icy cold wind at night.
The Silt dwellers are still alive.
Naturally, countless people died in Yuqi.
Some people died on the way to the desert, some died under the scorching sun, and some people walked with dry throats for a long time, but finally fell on the edge of the oasis.
They firmly believe that stepping into the desert is a brand new world.
But after going round and round all the way and crossing the desert, we actually returned to the border of Daluo Kingdom.
When they saw that emerald green color from a distance, the Yuqi people thought there was hope in the desperate situation of the desert. But when they got closer, they finally realized...
In the vast desert, they had long lost their way.
Ahead is the place where despair begins, behind you is the vast desert, and beside you are your compatriots who are crying in despair.
The leading Yuqi man didn't hesitate, turned around and walked towards the dead area that was rumored to be filled with poisonous swamps and countless snakes and insects.
There may be no hope in this world.
But he is the only hope for those around him.
Southern Xinjiang is a humid and sultry forest land. The soil under your feet is always moist. You can hear the sound of water every time you step on it, or you may sink deeply into the swamp the next time you step on it.
But no one can save him.
I could only watch helplessly as my companions struggled slowly in the swamp, and then slowly submerged into the swamp. If they wanted to step forward to save them, they might all be swallowed up in the swamp.
Whenever you stay in a certain place for a while, countless snakes, insects, rats, and ants will rush towards you. It seems that in this southern border that has been untouched for many years, their arrival is the beginning of a feast.
Countless people became prey to snakes, insects, rats, and ants, and even those who accidentally slipped and fell to death were reduced to withered bones the next day, with no flesh and blood left on their bodies, and they all became living beings in southern Xinjiang.
of delicacies.
There were no ferocious beasts, but these alone were enough to put Yu Qicheng into a desperate situation.
Therefore, on the third day after entering southern Xinjiang, the Yuqi people retreated from southern Xinjiang.
From that time on, they no longer had the habit of worshiping living beings.
Every living creature in Southern Xinjiang has taken the lives of their companions.
There is only despair.
The Yuqi people were desperate.
There was a little girl who couldn't hold on any longer. She collapsed and fell to the ground crying.
The leading young man walked over and helped her up. His voice was gentle and clear: "Are you okay?"
Even though he has passed through the endless desert, stepped into the southern border where no one lives, and has seen people around him die one after another, he still stands here firmly and tenderly, leading all his tribesmen, hoping
He hoped to save everyone, but now there are only a few dozen people standing beside him.
"They are right, right? We are people abandoned by God. That's why we bring disasters wherever we go. That's why we see people around us die one after another, and that's why we're where we are now.
Only in such a situation..."
The rest of the words have been blown away by the wind.
The young man just led her forward.
Their journey doesn't end there.
Even if the road ahead is full of despair, you should die at the moment of despair instead of stopping here.
Yuqi people have seen countless scenery.
From the desolate desert to the bustling cities and towns, I have experienced the endless snow, and I have also seen the blue water and sky on the coast.
But no one remembers the cost they've seen.
Later...
When the Yuqi people passed through the sea area, they finally saw the brand new world.
On the other side of the sea is a prosperous town on the other side.
They came from the other side of the sea on a cargo ship, but they met the Yuxi people who were struggling to survive on the coast, so they took the Yuxi people on the boat and took them to another sea area.
While on the boat, the young man looked up at the blue where the sea and the sky met, and took a deep breath.
The little girl tugged at the corner of the young man's clothes and asked him cautiously: "Are we not going to have to do this anymore?"
The clothes on their bodies are all new.
The clothes I wore in the past had long since been damaged during long walks, and I could only barely cover my body.
The young man did not know the answer to this question.
But after the little girl asked, she just let out a breath, then smiled and said: "Yes..."
Maybe not.
But what if it's not?
The worst case scenario is death.
I have seen too many people die along the way, and my heart has long been numb. Even if it takes his own life, it doesn't matter.
It's just death.
A delighted smile appeared on the little girl's face: "That's great..."
She has always believed in him the most.
But whatever he said, the little girl would regard it as the truth and believe it.
Finally, the cargo ship stopped on the other side of the coast.
It was a new town, close to the Great Luo Kingdom but not belonging to the Great Luo Kingdom. It was prosperous and prosperous, and I had never heard any rumors about the Yuqi people before, so I looked at them without any prejudice or discrimination.
Not very important.
The important thing is that it is suitable for survival here.
enough.
It's enough.
The young man set foot here with a group of Yuqi people. At the moment when he was down to earth, he had the illusion of being in another world.
How long has it been since they last set foot in a town?
Seeing the crowds of people on the street again, seeing the vendors in the streets and alleys, and listening to those familiar yet unfamiliar shouts, he felt as if he had only dreamed of it before.
But those are all things that really happened,
The people who died are also dead.
People cannot be resurrected after death, but they will still miss them.
The little girl followed the young man off the boat. The little girl asked him: "Are we going to be here from now on?"
The young man just paused for a moment and said with a smile: "You will be here from now on, not us."
When the little girl heard this, she was startled. She quickly raised her head and looked at the young man, and asked in a panic: "Aren't you with us?"
She has become accustomed to being with him, accustomed to listening to his words, accustomed to following behind him, accustomed to talking to him about everything, and she cannot be separated from him no matter what.
The young man did not answer, but turned his head and looked far away in the direction of Daluo Kingdom.
From his sight, he could only see the blue sea and sky, but he seemed to see through everything and see everything in Daluo Kingdom.
He slowly clenched his fingers.
The flames of war that started at Yannanguan caused the people of Daluo to vent all their hatred on the Yuqi people, and the pain caused to him by those Yuqi people who died innocently will naturally remain with him.
A new addition to the life of the Daluo people.
It cannot be forgotten and will not be forgotten.
The little girl stays here.
But the young man turned around and returned to Daluo Country.
This time, he covered his face with a veil to cover up the mark on his face.
Thinking about it, if you can't see the mark on his face, you wouldn't be able to recognize him as a Yuqi person.
His purpose is simple and straightforward.
Even if he doesn't say it, others can guess it.
But his departure was not that easy, because the little girl stopped him.
He was a little puzzled and asked the little girl: "Don't you hate it?"
The little girl just shook her head and said: "What I hate is that the tribesmen around me died one after another, and I survived without any use. But such hatred is meaningless. As long as you are still here, I will be the best in the future."
There are only happy things."
The young man turned his head and said, "I will never be happy again."
"Why?"
"From the time she died, there would be no more happy things..."
To him, everything is an endless sorrow.
Even though he is no longer homeless and no longer struggling to survive, as a living person, all he can feel is endless sadness.
