There’s a Dragon Girl in the Desolate Sea: 825|Seventy-second dragon scales (1)

Seventy-second dragon scales (1)

Nine winters, the sky is condensed and the ground is closed, the howling cold wind mixed with large flakes of snowflakes hits people's faces head-on, freezing people's bones.

It's about to dawn now, and it snowed heavily for three days and three nights. The snow is already knee-high for an adult. A thin teenager is wading through the snow. Every step he takes, he sinks deeply into the thick In the snow, even so, he still refused to stop.

If you look closely, you will find that his back is slightly bulging, as if he is carrying something on his back. At this time, he is staggering and running, and his heart is already desperate but he does not dare to cry - he just lost his mother, he can no longer be without a sister Now, and the day is so cold, the tears that flow down will soon freeze on the face.

The ragged and shabby clothes can't stop the biting wind and snow in this winter, but the boy still tries his best to straighten his chest and use his own flesh and blood to block the bone-eroding cold.

"Don't die... Long'er, don't die... Don't die, don't leave my brother alone..."

The young man rushed forward. After his mother died, his younger sister became ill. He burned red all over, but it snowed heavily. He braved the wind and snow to pick up the herbs to reduce the fever, but it was of no use at all. At this moment, he was on his way home with his sister.

It has been snowing heavily for the past few days, the gates of the city were closed, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city did not let them in. The boy could feel that his sister's breathing was gradually becoming shallower, and he almost couldn't feel it. Before, she would give a light reply, But now she is silent.

Xie Ji couldn't hold back after all, the hot tears had already been frozen into ice as soon as they touched his cheeks. His face was as painful as a knife cut, but he didn't feel it. In the wind and snow, his back He walked towards the village with his sister, one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Linglong woke up at this time. She was not afraid of heat and cold, and naturally didn't find the weather unbearable, but she knew that humans are fragile creatures that need to be cared for, so she tried her best to move herself Xie Ji noticed that her sister was moving, and the tears couldn't stop under the ecstasy, "Long'er, are you awake? Hold your brother tightly, it will not be cold."

Linglong Yiyan hugged his neck tightly. Xie Ji, who was already on the verge of despair, suddenly had strength. He took a breath, and his body exploded with great potential. Afterwards, he ran forward almost frantically, sometimes stepping into a snowdrift with one foot and hitting a stone, he would also press his head against the ground in time to avoid falling on his sister.

They live in a small village far away from the city. As outsiders, they are orphans and widows. People in this village do not welcome them, and because their mothers are beautiful, they often come with lazy people who can't marry their daughter-in-law. Laughing, Xie Ji is like a little wild wolf. Once, a rogue in the village climbed the wall in the middle of the night and entered his house and wanted to rape|dirty mother, Xie Ji took a kitchen knife and chopped the man into serious injuries. After this incident, the villagers People don't welcome them anymore.

And now, my mother is dead.

Xie Ji doesn't know why life has become like this. They have been hiding in Tibet for the past few years, but no matter where they go, they will encounter countless troubles. He doesn't know when such days will end. It was as if there was a hand behind their backs pushing their fate to make their family die without a whole corpse.

When I returned to the village, it was just dawn, but it was cold in winter, and the villagers hardly went out. One was to save physical strength and the other is to save food.

Xie Ji's family lives in a thatched hut at the head of the village. Her mother is a good girl from the Liang family, but the money she earns is only enough to make ends meet. Now that her mother is dead, there are only a few hundred dollars left, even buying a pair for her. Even a thin-skinned coffin was not enough. Xie Ji carried her sister to the city to see a doctor with this money, but she was driven back, and she couldn't even enter the city gate. Liang's body was still lying on the bed at home.

There is only one bed in their house, and the mother and son sleep here.

Xie Ji kowtowed three times to her mother's body before moving her to the ground. There was only a layer of straw mats on the ground. The younger sister who still breathes will be affected by the corpse aura.

Linglong was put on the bed, the room was a little leaky and it was cold, Xie Ji wrapped all the quilts for her, then got on the bed and held her in her arms to keep her warm. She was cold all over, only Amazingly hot forehead.

Linglong felt hot tears running down her neck. She cuddled with the poor boy and closed her eyes.

Xie Ji hugged her for a long time, until she felt that her body was no longer so cold, and noticed that she fell into a deep sleep, but her breathing gradually became steady, so she wiped her tears fiercely, his hands and face were frozen rough. It cracked, and bright red new flesh was exposed in the open mouth, but he didn't feel any pain. He climbed off the bed lightly, started a fire, and boiled the herbs that had not been eaten, because in addition to this, He didn't know how to treat his sister's illness.

The water boiled with herbs is quite unpleasant to drink, and Linglong would definitely not drink it on weekdays, but this time she didn't resist, and obediently let Xie Ji feed her and drink it, and then closed her eyes again.

Xie Ji is not idle either. They have no relatives and no reason. They fled here. With only a few hundred dollars left, he still wants to wait until the snow stops before going to the city to buy medicine for his sister, so naturally there is no mother's funeral. With money, he has to find a way, he has to find a way...

At this moment, someone knocked on the door of their house. They said they were knocking on the door, but they were actually shouting from outside. Xie Ji heard Li Zheng's voice and went over to greet him. Li Zheng saw him at home, and his eyes flashed. However, remembering the words of the nobleman, he hurriedly made a sign of concern: "I heard that your sister is also ill, but is she feeling better?"

Xie Ji's eyes are still red, his mother and sister are very weak and need protection, so he has developed a distrust of anyone early on, Li Zheng has never helped them, this visit must be a no-brainer There is nothing to do in the Three Treasures Palace, but he is still young after all, and he is only eleven years old this year. Hearing Li Zheng's words, he still couldn't help his eyes sore and wanted to cry. "No."

"Oh, it's also a hard life." Li Zheng sighed softly, "Your mother... It's been a few days since she died, so it's not a problem to stop like this! Have you ever thought about what to do?"

Xie Ji's lips moved, and suddenly she knelt down: "Can you lend me some money?! I swear I'll pay it back to you when my sister recovers! Please lend me the money and let me give it to my mother. Buy a coffin! And my sister's illness... I'm very capable, I'll go to work when my sister recovers! I swear I'll pay you back double! Can you, can you lend me?"

The boy's begging eyes were so pitiful, Li Zheng's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said, "You also know that our village is not rich, it's freezing cold, who has spare money at home? Everyone doesn't go out. , thinking about saving some food and waiting for the spring!"

The villagers may be really poor, but Lizheng's family is definitely not. Although their family's conditions are not comparable to those in the city, their clothes are never patched, and they can eat meat every three days. , but I don't want to borrow it.

Xie Ji is extremely smart, and naturally understands what Li Zheng means. The man has gold under his knees. If he is desperate, he will not kneel for him.

Li Zheng sighed again, seemingly unintentionally speaking: "A few days ago, I heard that the palace is going to select people, if they are selected, they will be given 22 taels of silver! It's not that we don't want to help those of the villagers. It's really powerless... Your mother is also suffering, she managed to pull the two of you up, but she died, and she didn't say paper money after her death, not even a coffin... Bitter, bitter! Your sister , at such a young age, and suffering from a serious illness, how can I not need money? Alas!"

Seeing that Xie Ji was moved, Li Zheng said a lot of good things in the palace. His tongue was like a lotus flower, and black can be said to be white. The blows over the past few days have made this precocious teenager almost desperate, he has nothing, and if he doesn't think about it, his only sister will die.

It wasn't Li Zheng who moved him, it was the twenty taels of silver that moved him.

He knows what it means to choose someone in the palace, that is, to be an eunuch. It is a shame for a man to be an eunuch, but for Xie Ji, if the mother can be buried in a coffin, and the sister has medicine to eat, Then none of that matters.

I just closed it as soon as I saw it, he originally came to say this, otherwise who would be willing to come to a house with dead people!

Xie Ji asked the time and place carefully, and made a decision secretly. When Li Zheng saw this, he was very satisfied, so he said goodbye and left. , in the future, you will not have to worry about food and clothing! After all, who would dislike the lack of money?

“…Brother.”

Hearing this tender but slightly hoarse voice, Xie Ji turned back quickly and found that her six-year-old sister had woken up at some point, got out of bed, and was standing at the door of the back room. He was stunned, as if she had seen through his thoughts, "Long'er? Are you awake? Why did you get out of bed, go back quickly, don't freeze."

He hurried over to pick up his sister, put his forehead against her temperature, and was pleasantly surprised to find that she was much better. Could it be that the herb suddenly became useful again?

Linglong obediently asked her brother to carry him to the bed and pulled him to lie up together. The two brothers and sisters hugged tightly. She whispered, "I heard Li Zheng's words, brother don't go to the palace, I can't live alone. ."

Xie Ji comforted her and said, "My brother will not, and my brother will never leave you alone."

Linglong put her small head on his neck and closed her eyes: "I can't stay here, brother."

Xie Ji is a very smart person. He just lost his position because of his mother and sister. Now he has recovered and noticed that something is wrong. His sister is right. It is indeed impossible to stay here. Those who want to harm them, just kill them directly, but they want to force them to hide their names incognito in Tibet, like bereaved dogs, but they still refuse to give up. The maliciousness contained in this makes Xie Ji horrified.

He made a decision in his heart, and couldn't help but look at his mother on the ground.

My mother is still as beautiful, but her face is too pale and her eyes will not open again.

He couldn't help shedding hot tears and hugged his sister in his arms tightly. All these years, he had been staring at them behind his back. He didn't know who it was or what was going on, because he was so weak Now, weak enough to be run over by a finger.

Lizheng's words today were clearly intended to lead him to purify himself into the palace. If he really did that, his sister would definitely stay in this village, but what could he do then? If he can't stay with his sister, he can't know if he's doing well or not.

Xie Ji's mind turned very fast, he looked at his mother with nostalgia, "Long'er, we can't bury my mother here, she won't like it here."

The village will not give him the opportunity to bury his mother, because she is an outsider, they do not welcome her, men always look at her with colored eyes, women are jealous of her beauty and tenderness, and always spit at her, but She is the best woman in the world, and this dirty place is not worthy of her.

"...Brother wants to cremate my mother, so let's leave with my mother's ashes, okay?"

Linglong raised her head to look at him and hummed softly: "Okay."

Xie Ji is a very active person. He knows that it's not too late. If his mother is dead, the people behind the scenes will definitely feel that the two brothers and sisters are not good enough, and their surveillance will be relaxed a little. He has to hurry up. .

I slept with my sister and regained some physical strength. When I woke up again, it was the afternoon, the snow was still falling, and no one in the village would come out in this weather. After Xie Ji got up, he burned all the remaining grain. Brown rice was used to make porridge, and noodles were made into dry food. He didn't know where he was going. where they live.

Linglong was recovering from a serious illness, so Xie Ji wrapped her in a quilt and was not allowed to move.

Xie Ji has lived for eleven years. The trials and tribulations after the age of five have gradually made him forget the life before the age of five. God never takes care of their family, but this time he did not take away his sister, which made him feel that the future There is still hope.

They didn't have any luggage, and only two or three clothes were changed. After packing, the snow miraculously stopped, and the fire was blazing. Xie Ji and her sister knelt down heavily, facing her mother, who was gradually swallowed by the flames. She kowtowed her head, and put her mother's ashes in a small jar at home, put it in her luggage, and then lit the thatched hut with a fire.

When the thatched cottage was almost burned, the snow began to fall again. Xie Ji carried her sister on her back and asked her if she was cold. She rubbed his face tenderly and said whether it was cold, and Xie Ji laughed. Their hometown was in the south, and now he was going north.

My mother took them to hide in Tibet for the past six years, and she was always reluctant to be too far from home. Xie Ji felt that this might be the reason why she could not escape the hands of the people behind the scenes, so she did the opposite and never went back. .

Linglong was lying on Xie Ji's back. He was thin, but he had a huge and magical power. The footprints in the snow were so inconspicuous, they were quickly covered by the new snow, and even the heavy snow was blocking their whereabouts. And Linglong finally looked back at the village and smiled lightly.

Prepare for divine punishment from the Dragon Lady.

As night fell, the heavy snow became more and more terrifying, and fell heavily into the village, and the sleeping Li was unaware of the danger - only when the weather warmed up and came to visit relatives in the village discovered that all the people in the village All died, none of them survived, they were all frozen to death, and there were even pain marks on their faces.

It's weird, obviously you can escape, right? Why are you dying at home?

Slowly, rumors of haunting spread, and the village no longer came.

Also forgotten.

——————

Xie Ji took his sister to the north, passing through a ruined temple with air leaks from all sides. He looked at his sister apologetically, and told her that he would rest here for the night, and would not enter the city until he went further. He also coaxed his sister: "When my brother goes to the city to find a living, he will buy a candy for Long'er to eat when he earns money. Didn't Long'er always want to eat it?"

Both brothers and sisters are dressed in rags, and the wind is piercing in the broken temple, but the hearts of those who snuggle together are warm.

Xie Ji has been tired all day. After all, he is only eleven years old. He soon fell asleep. Linglong wanted to sit up when he fell asleep, but as soon as she broke free from his arms, Xie Ji suddenly opened it. Eyes, he held her wrist and didn't let go, but he was too tired, so Linglong lay down beside him, and he was relieved and fell asleep.

It was too cold, but with the Dragon Girl by his side, Xie Ji in her sleep did not feel the cold and hunger, and forgot the sorrow and pain.

Linglong stared at this young man who had not grown up but had been soaked in the sea of ​​misery prematurely. She caressed her heart and murmured, "I heard your call, so I am here, don't worry..."

Use your soul to exchange this young man for Chang'an.

Poor human child, I don't know how cruel the world is. Whenever you feel that you are unfortunate enough, there will be even more bad news on your life.

For example, Xie Ji, he hid with his mother and sister at a very young age, but he didn't know who was behind his back. He only knew that they were struggling, and it was difficult to even survive. That person seemed to want them to die. But he wanted to torture them again. After Liang's death, looking at his sister's high fever, Xie Ji finally obeyed Li Zheng's words and exchanged himself for twenty taels of silver.

These twenty taels bought a coffin for Liang's family and medicine for his sister. After Xie Ji entered the palace, he endured the most terrible humiliation and torture in the world. He only had one belief in his heart, that is to stand out! Go and bring back my sister who is still in the village!

But when he was really capable, he learned that his sister was gone.

He was taking money, but he didn't take good care of her.

Xie Ji lived to the end, only to realize that his life had no meaning at all, but he didn't know that his sister did not die, but after he entered the palace, he was under the instructions of the nobles. Sold into Goulan Courtyard.

The younger sister, who inherited her mother's beauty, was a beautiful embryo at a young age. She still remembers her brother, but she lost herself in the beating and training|teaching day after day. Thousands of people have a pair of jade arms and pillows, and a little bit of red lips has been tasted by thousands of people, but it was more than ten years later that Xie Ji, a neutered dog who was killed by everyone, was slashed by thousands of knives by the new emperor. Dogs go to the bone, especially Faith Houfu, who was almost ruined by a neutered dog.

Perhaps that person didn't expect that a little beast who didn't care about her at all could bite down a piece of her flesh.

Xie Ji died, and his bones were thrown into ashes. No one was allowed to collect the body, and no one collected the body for him.

Afterwards, a middle-aged beautiful woman came to the Goulan courtyard where my sister was. The beautiful woman told her a ridiculous and sad story, and she was the player in the game and a poor **** who was manipulated by others. , even my brother forgot.

Linglong heard her despair and accepted her soul. Now that beautiful soul has become one of the countless little beings in the barren sea. From then on, she has no worries, no love, no fear, all kinds of things in the world, and it has nothing to do with it. related.

The words are from six years ago.

Liang's family is happy, but wars are frequent, her husband left the army with his family and country in mind. When she left, she had just been diagnosed with pregnancy. The husband vowed again and again that he would come back safely, but she waited and waited, waited Waited again, but never waited for the beloved to return.

Her life began to be full of hardships. She was obviously very delicate embroidery workers, but was charged one-tenth of the price. Neighbors looked at her unpleasantly. When something happened, she had to leave with her children, but no matter where she went, it was very difficult to live, and in the midst of these hardships, she gradually forgot her past happiness, and only wanted to protect her two children—until she died, that He didn't even swallow his breath.

She died, what about her children? They are still so young, how can she die?

But if God wants to take her life back, there's nothing she can do.

Xie Ji has forgotten her father, and that man has strong arms, and once put him on his shoulders to make him laugh. In order to let the father and son not make trouble, the father pretended to be frightened and said that the mother was so fierce, the father and son laughed together, and the mother laughed along... In his despair, he has been completely forgotten.

Dad?

What is that?

Does he have a father?

Until now, Xie Ji didn't know whether his father was alive or dead. If he was dead, it would be fine. If he was alive, why didn't he come back with a message?

Originally, it was difficult for him to even enter the palace. The people behind the scenes wanted to deceive him with 22 taels of silver, and then told him that there was no such thing as a choice in the palace, which made this young man completely desperate, but Soon, she changed her mind again. She felt that it was too cheap for him. It would be more interesting to send this boy to the palace. Who knows what he will be like in the future? alive? Still dead? You can't die so soon. How can you die before the two brothers and sisters meet again?

Xie Ji thought that he had forgotten his father, but the moment he saw that person, all the forgotten memories came back like a tide, making him almost crazy with anger!

So he's not dead! Turns out he changed his name! Be famous! Marry someone else! Lovely wife and daughter are so happy!

At that time, he was already the confidant of the old emperor, turning his hands into clouds and covering his hands into rain, playing with countless people in applause, Xie Ji looked at the unfamiliar expression of the man, as if he didn't know him at all, and only felt in his heart Funny, he wants to see how long this person can pretend, how long can that disgusting face last!

Don't know him, do you? The current wife is the hair wife, right? The family is happy and beautiful, isn't it? Do you think he is insidious, wicked, and miserable?

He's such a cheap breed, a neutered dog, but he Xie Fengwang's breed!
