When the sun shines from the clouds, the leaves of the evergreen broad-leaved forest are still whimpering in the wind, and there is no trace of winter in the mountains. On the field not far away, a group of young people are running with a gray football, fighting for be intense.
Ning Xi sat on the fallen crossbar on the hillside, watching this scene from a distance.
The martial arts in the Huaxia Army has flourished. Since the Zhuji period, a major entertainment project among employees has been the competition of the top masters. After the Wurui Camp was melted and officially transformed into the Huaxia Army, various internal competitions and Cuju competitions were held. more enriched. The propaganda department of Zhuji embeds Ning Yi's bad taste. On the one hand, it exports martial arts stories, and on the other hand, it ranks the "Top 100000" masters internally and externally. In order to compete for such rankings and benefits, the military is up and down in this regard. It was all very lively.
Ning Xi was considered an athlete among thirteen- or fourteen-year-olds, but at this time, watching the game in the distance, she was somewhat absent-minded.
At first, most of his partners were in Hedeng and Jishan. Although there were a few acquaintances, they were not close after all. Second, at this time, he also has troubles in his heart, and he has no other intentions.
The assassination two days ago was a big shock to the young man. After the assassination, the injured first grader was still here to recuperate. The father then entered a busy working state again, holding meetings, cleaning up Jishan's defense forces, and at the same time beating outsiders who came to do business at this time.
Since his father returned to Hedeng, although he has not officially appeared in front of everyone, he no longer covers up his whereabouts too much, which may mean that the attitude of Heiqi and Jurchen to confront each other again has become clear. Jishan's increase in the price of iron cannons caused a commotion for a while, but since the assassination case, the tightening wind and atmosphere have suppressed some of the voices.
Born in troubled times, it was only a few years ago that Jurchen searched the mountains and seas and ravaged Tiannan. Even though Heiqi has been dormant and low for two years, when he first settled down in Liangshan, he even seemed to swallow his breath, but at this time, after the warm appearance from business has faded a little, people will realize it at the first time. It's no joke that Zhi Zeng is facing the forces that shake the Jurchen without falling behind in the northwest.
But for Ning Xi, who was usually sensitive, he wasn't thinking about it at this time.
He was confused and didn't know how to deal with the injured girl for a while. After thinking about it for the past few days, he didn't get anything. For a time, he felt that he would be assassinated more in the future. It is better to communicate with each other, but for a while, I felt that this could not solve the problem. In the end, I even worried about my brothers and sisters at home. He sat on the crossbar for a long time, and someone from a distance walked towards him. The leader was his father, who had been busy in the past two days and had not had much communication with him. At this time, it seemed that the busy work had come to an end.
He stood up and saluted respectfully. Ning Yi, who came over, waved his hand, patted his shoulder and sat down on the crossbar. The last time Ning Xi and her father parted, she was only nine years old. At that time, her father's figure stood tall in the sky. At this time, when they reunited, they realized that her father was in the hands of a kind of green forest master. Casual, calm like a mountain. This made Ning Xi quite envious. If she could do this one day, she might not be afraid of mere assassins.
"It's actually a good thing." After sitting for a while, Ning Yi smiled and said.
"Ah?" Xiao Ningxi was slightly puzzled.
"In the past few years, I was not at home. In order to protect you, your mother, your Hongti, Aunt Xigua, and Uncle Du have worked very hard. We have already done a good job for you... even your younger siblings, The possibility of encountering the unexpected…”
Father's calm words drifted in the wind, and Ning Xi just listened suspiciously at first. When Ning Yi said the words "your little brother and sister", he lowered his head and his fists suddenly clenched. Yi looked into the distance, the words did not stop.
"But later, all of them were restrained. There were a few things that were wiped out before they affected you. This is a good thing, but it may not be considered a good thing, because you have to experience these things after all."
After he finished speaking, the words stopped, and Ning Xi was silent for a while, then raised her head to look ahead: "Daddy, I'm not afraid."
Ning Yi smiled. After a while, he spoke casually.
"You will take my class differently." Ning Yi looked at the thirteen-year-old child beside him and touched his head, while Ning Xi looked at his father, with an expression that didn't seem to mind: " If one day, you are going to the battlefield with a sword and a gun, your mother and I will also let you go."
When he talked about this, Ning Xi's eyes were bright and excited. In the atmosphere of the Huaxia Army, a thirteen-year-old boy had long ago saved the heroic ambition to fight and kill the enemy. Now that his father can say this, he only feels heaven and earth for a while. All widened.
Ning Yi looked at the boy's expression before turning his head: "However, life and death have value. My son may not become the leader of the Huaxia Army one day, but I hope he can become a man who can serve the people around him. Responsible man. Even if you can't take care of the entire Huaxia Army, take care of your family, take care of your mother, take care of your younger siblings, it's a responsibility you can't shirk."
Ning Xi sat there with clenched fists, did not speak, bowed her head slightly.
"The essence of all of us is the same, but the situation we face is different. A strong and wise person must learn to understand reality, admit it, and then change it. You... thirteen years old, start doing things If you have your own ideas and opinions, and you are surrounded by a group of people who treat you differently, you will feel that something is wrong…”
"I didn't." The boy retorted, "Actually... I respect Uncle Du and their... "
Ning Yi pursed his lips: "Well, then... let's put it this way. The reality is that you are the son of Ning Yi and Su Tan'er. If someone catches you and kills you, your family will naturally be sad, and there may be Making bad decisions is a reality in itself…”
"I won't let them catch me."
"Then what if you catch your younger brother and sister? If I'm the bad guy, I catch... Xiao Ke? She's always busy, and she's good to everyone. I catch her and threaten you to hand over information about the Huaxia Army. What should I do? Do you expect Xiaoke to die?" Ning Yi, the landlord, put his shoulders on him, "Our enemy can do anything."
"This matter is not fair to you, Xiaoke, and other children, but we will face such a thing. If you are not Ning Yi's child, Ning Yi will always have children. He also Xiao, he has to face this matter. There is always a person to face. God will send a big responsibility to the people, work their muscles and bones, starve their skin, empty their bodies, and do whatever they do... You have to continue to change. Powerful, powerful, and wise, when one day, you become as powerful as Uncle Du and the others, and even more powerful, you can protect the people around you, and you can also… protect your younger siblings well.”
Ning Xi sat there silently.
"There are some things we can't figure out, so we can think about it slowly. Let's not talk about the younger brothers and sisters, Ning Xi, aren't you treating your friends badly?"
"Ah?" Ning Xi raised her head.
"It's been two days since she was injured on the first day of the new year. You didn't see her, did you?"
"I...I've seen..."
"Well, it seems that you didn't go..."
Ning Xi lowered her head, not wanting to say that he pretended to be passing by and glanced at it from a distance.
"I remember you were very good when you were young. When you were in Xiao Canghe, you went out to play, catch rabbits, and the time you broke your head, do you remember what it was like on the first day of the new year, and she has been your good friend since then. Friends. I haven't seen you for a few years. You have many friends around you. Are you bad with her?"
"No, on the first day of the first year, she, after all... different... "
"Why is it different, she's a girl? Are you afraid that others will laugh at her, or at you?"
Ning Xi's face turned slightly red, Ning Yi patted the child's shoulder, but his eyes became serious: "The girl is not worse than you, and she is not worse than your friend, I told you a long time ago that people are equal, you red mention Auntie, Auntie Watermelon, how many men can do that kind of thing? There are many female workers in Jishan weaving, and there will be more in the future. As long as they can shoulder their responsibilities, they are no different from you and me. You ten At the age of three, I feel awkward and don't want your friends to follow you anymore. Have you ever thought that she will feel embarrassed and awkward on the first day of the first year, and she will even get cold eyes from you. She didn't hurt you, but are you? Did you hurt your friend?"
"If you... no longer want her to follow you, of course you can. But you both grew up together and learned martial arts with Aunt Hongti. If you can face the enemy together, you are actually much more powerful than joining forces with other people. , take it out, she is your friend, what is there to complain about, you are a boy, you will be a man in the future, of course you are more mature than her, you are the son of me and your mother, of course you are more than other children More mature and more responsible! You think there will be rumors, what does it matter if you take responsibility and marry her... "
Ning Xi's face instantly turned red, and Ning Yi was still saying, "Your mother and I will order you a baby kiss... Uh, okay, let's not talk about it for now."
The father and son sat there for a while, and saw someone approaching from a distance, and the entourage also came to remind Ning Yi of the next trip, Ning Yi patted the child on the shoulder and stood up: "Men man, face the matter , to be strong, if others can't break the game, it doesn't mean you can't break it, some small things are so difficult to do."
After he finished speaking, he and his entourage walked into the distance. When Fang Shuchang approached, Ning Yi sighed to him: "Alas, my heart is broken for the child..." Fang Shuchang disagreed: "I think, are you a bit of a mother-in-law? ?" In these years, father's authority is supreme, or boxing power is supreme, it's really strange to talk to children: "A few boys in my family, they beat up if they don't obey. Now they're all good, and there's nothing to worry about. And I beat a lot more. Skin solid." Some people around nodded secretly.
Ning Yi curled his lips: "It's easy to say, now these little children, with their brains full of blood, will they cover their heads on the battlefield and scare you to death."
"Sooner or later, it will take some practice."
"Then I have to hone my skills before I go. When my brain is hot, I will go. My wife will cry to death..."
"My younger brother and sister are very arrogant... But you didn't say just now that he wanted to go and you promised him... "
"Of course, stabilize your position first, there will be a day for him, at least after the age of 20..."
"The demon of the heart really lives up to its reputation, and it is a whole set of tricks for my son."
"More than that, I'm still ruthless... People die like lights go out, it's the living people who are sad, I always hope that the younger generation has a better chance of surviving..."
A group of people walked forward while talking and laughing, but later in the conversation, they became serious. In fact, among the high-level personnel who have come to this point, there are few relatives and friends who have already died in the war. Ning Yi is ruthless, and most of the executives around him are ruthless in their work and timing. They just know these things. The price of neglect.
The adults gradually moved away. After saying goodbye to her father, Ning Xi sat on the crossbar and thought about these things. The group of teenagers in the distance were kicking ball and making noise. After a while, several of them bumped into each other and quarreled and fought each other. stand up. They should all be military families, and they moved their hands quite aggressively. After fighting for a while, they were pulled away by everyone.
The thirteen-year-old boy got down from the crossbar, stretched out his hands, and let out a long sigh of relief. After thinking for a while, he started walking towards the city. Two figures casually followed behind him.
The sun slanted down from the sky, and the boy's pace was not firm. He hesitated for a moment on the side of the city street, and then walked to the market to buy a small box of sesame candy and hold it in his hand. When he walked all the way to the house where the first year of the first year of junior high was, someone came up ahead and greeted him with a smile on his face, but it was Uncle Wenxing who was in charge here.
"Come to see the first year of the first year?"
Ning Xi asked Su Wenxing to say hello, but she was too embarrassed to answer this question. The uncle and nephew took a walk while talking. Seeing that it was noon, Ning Xi said goodbye to Su Wenxing and went to a nearby cafeteria for lunch. He was fooled by this episode. Some want to back off.
After noon, Ning Xi went to the small courtyard where he was recovering from the injury in the first year of junior high school. There are teapots, cups, half an orange, and a storybook with pictures on the wooden cabinet. Min Chu's first reading and literacy are not very good, and he prefers to listen to people, or read books with pictures, which is very naive.
Ning Xi walked in, sat down beside the bed, and put down the sesame candy. The girl on the bed's eyelashes trembled, she opened her eyes and woke up. Seeing that it was Ning Xi, she sat up quickly. They hadn't been able to talk properly for a while, the girl was very embarrassed, and Ning Xi was also a little embarrassed. She stammered and scratched her head from time to time.
When they returned from Jishan and Deng together, the relationship between the two returned to normal as before, and Ning Xi became more cheerful than before. It didn't take long for her to cooperate with the martial arts of the first year of junior high school.
The days with He Deng were far from leisure, and after he came back, a lot of things came to Ning Yi's side. In the two years since he left, Huaxia Army has done the work of "removing Ningyihua", mainly hoping that the division of labor in the entire structure will be more reasonable. After returning, it does not mean that the entire stall can be abandoned, and many deeper adjustments and integrations, Still have to do it for him. But in any case, every day, he can finally see his wife and children, occasionally eat together, occasionally sit in the sun and watch the children play and grow...
In the past many years, the wives have also changed in one way or another. Tan'er is more mature. Sometimes the two will work together, chat, bury their heads in reading documents, look up at each other and smile. At the moment, the wife and him More like a person.
Xiaochan is in charge of the affairs of the family, but her personality gradually becomes quieter. She is a woman with a weak personality. Over the years, she has been worried about Tan'er who is like her sister, worried about her husband, and worried about her children, Her family's temperament has become a little melancholy, and her joy is more like changing with her family, always worrying about it, but also easy to satisfy. Only in the moment of getting along with Ning Yi in private, she laughed carefree, and was able to see the appearance of the somewhat confused girl with two ponytails in the past.
Yunzhu is more demure and gentle, time has settled down on her like water, and she can always infect others. She taught her children and wrote something. She used to live in the small building by the river, and she was young and cramped to try to return to the broken world of her childhood. Now, tenacity and tenderness are finally in the She has settled down on her body. She takes care of the children at home and mentions Xiaochan to share some things. In the past, Tan'er and Hongti worked too late, so she always carried things over and told her to go home early. That lady from the official family has never experienced a family breakdown, and one day, maybe she will gradually become what she is today.
Only Jin'er was still jumping up and down, like a female warrior who refused to stop.
There are also the docile Hongti, the watermelon who is busy for the great cause of "democracy", and Juaner who is the secretary beside Ning Yi...
Sometimes Ning Yi takes time to think about it, and occasionally thinks about the past of his life. After coming here, he who originally wanted to live a simple life, has finally come to this busy situation. But this situation is a little different from the busyness of the previous period. He thought of the sunny weather in Jiangning, or the soft and heavy rain that covered the world at that time, the people walking in and out of the courtyard, the red walls and black tiles, the young girls who just flinched, such a beautiful voice, and the Qinhuai River. The chess booth, the small building, and the old man with the chess booth. Everything finally passed away like water.
Everything will eventually pass away like flowing water, but he can't clearly calculate how long it is before the future can stop.
Information from the outside world is constantly coming.
Just as Hei Qi, the gigantic beast, woke up in the mountains and slowly stretched his body, the forces of hungry ghosts led by Wang Shitong in the Central Plains finally rolled up a huge wave, setting off a monstrous disaster.
Since August, Wang Shitong drove away the "hungry ghosts" and started a war of siege and looting north of the Yellow River. At this time, just after the autumn harvest, the food was still plentiful. The "hungry ghosts" released their last restraint. Under the trend of hunger and despair, more than 100,000 hungry ghosts began to attack the vicinity. At the price, they captured the city, looted food, and burned the entire city after the robbery, and the people who lost their homes were immediately involved in the army of hungry ghosts.
In two months, the hungry ghosts connected eight towns, large and small, north of the Yellow River. The cities were completely destroyed, and there were countless victims. Pingdong General Li Xizhi sent an army of 50,000 people to try to disperse the hungry ghosts.
The person in charge of the Black Flag Army who stayed in the north had another negotiation with Wang Shitong in private, trying to do his last strength, but it was meaningless.
The crazy ghost king was thinking about his original intention, and the expanding group of victims spread along the Yellow River and then crossed the river. By this time, the snow had already started to fall.
The victims captured relatively few towns, looted and looted, lit a fire, warmed up in the fire, and then gradually died of starvation in the heavy snow. No one knew that after the heavy snow, the banks of the Yellow River would meet How many corpses are rotting.
The natural disaster delayed this man-made disaster, and the hungry ghosts shivered in the cold and died in large numbers. Among them, some of them may not die, waiting for the recovery in the coming year under the snow.
To the north, the chivalrous man carrying the iron rod crossed the Yanmen Pass and walked in the heavy snow in the Jin Kingdom.
The "eight-armed dragon king" of Chifeng Mountain, Shi Jin, who was once the "nine-patterned dragon", disbanded all the remaining power of Chifeng Mountain while recovering from his injuries, and embarked on a journey alone.
He is not good at intrigue between people, the infighting in Chifeng Mountain collapsed, and after he lost to Lin Zongwu again, he was finally confused about the way forward. He once participated in Zhou Tong's assassination of Nianhan, and only then did he realize the insignificance of personal power. However, the experience of Chifeng Mountain clearly told him that he was not good at being a leader. A hero who can really stir the world, but Liangshan's past also makes him unable to come in this direction.
There is not much value in my life... He thought so, and returned to Zhou Tong's way.
Then go to the Jin Kingdom and thorn Nianhan.
At this point, ten years had passed since Zhou Tong's assassination of Nianhan.
All the way to the north, he also met several companions along the way. A slick man named Fang Chengye had a good conversation with him, but soon after the trip, he approached Yanmen Pass and the other party also left.
Fang Chengye was somewhat confused.
He planned the chaos against the Tiger King in Zezhou, and later reunited with his master Ning Yi. Ning Yi suggested two directions for him. First, when the army of hungry ghosts had experienced enough wars to try to kill Wang Shitong, Take over the hungry ghost, and secondly, help Jiuwenlong rebuild Chifeng Mountain. Now the Hungry Ghost is blazing fiercely, it seems to be really out of control, and I don't know how many people will be alive after the snow disaster. These things made him really at a loss.
At the same time, in the small yamen in Vaud, a man named Mu Yi is also enjoying a rare and comfortable life. He has a wife and a son, and the son grows up slowly.
"It would be nice if it could go on like this forever."
He always said that.
In Xixia, the Mongolian general named Chilaowen led the army at the border of the Jin Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom army led by Shu Lie had three collisions. The Mongolian cavalry came and went like the wind, and the Jin Kingdom also tried the cannons just installed. After careful confrontation, the Mongols finally gave up the temptation to attack the Great Jin Kingdom.
Even the belligerent Mongolians are not willing to bite the hard bones directly before they are truly powerful.
Western Xia has perished, and what remains in front of them is the only option of going far west, or slanting to the southeast.
The winter of Wu Jianshuo’s eighth year gradually passed. On New Year’s Eve, the city of Lin’an was lit with lights, singing and dancing, and the sky-high fireworks embellished the city in the snow. Hedeng, thousands of miles away, was a sunny day, a rare sight. On a good day, Ning Yi took the time to stroll around the streets with his family and a group of children. Ning Ning and Ning Shuang, two three-year-old little girls, scrambled to climb on his shoulders, and the surrounding children were noisy. Yes, what a lovely sight.
At the end of the day, they were one year older.
In the ninth year of Jianshuo, he ran over everyone's heads... (.)
