Chapter 1017 No one expected

The topic seemed to arouse Fang Jie's interest, and he bent down to look at the map and looked carefully.

The shape of the Great Sui Dynasty is like an irregular square, with a slightly wider south than the north. Most of the territory lines in the south are coastlines, and the other half are surrounded by Langru Mountain tens of thousands of miles north and south. The territory lines in the northwest are also Langru Mountain, and the boundary in the northeast is Baishan.

Overall, even though the Great Sui Dynasty was vast, the difference between the northwest and other places was too great. You should know that although the Baishan Mountain in the northeast was also cold, the fertile black soil was harvested at all. This is why Gao Kaitai and Fang Jie wanted Fang Jie to give up the Northeast roads to him during the negotiations.

Northwest and northeast, horizontally on a line.

Fang explained that he did not understand geological things and remembered his previous life was of no help.

"By the way, what do the Han people in your tribe do on weekdays?"

Fang Jie asked Wanyan Yunshu.

Wanyan Yunshu thought for a while and said, "This person's origin is mysterious. Father Khan once asked him, and he only said he came from the Central Plains. Because he didn't want to live in the already dirty place in the Central Plains, he arrived at the 100,000 mountains. He said that although the 100,000 mountains are bitter and cold, they are pure, and the people of our Northern Liao tribe are also simple."

Sang Sasa smiled and said, "If this is the case, there is no way to tell the truth or the false."

Wanyan Yunshu continued: "On weekdays, he basically taught his brother knowledge, and his father Khan often asked him some questions. The brother's earliest understanding of the Central Plains was obtained from that person. So his brother was very yearning for the Central Plains, so he had the idea of ​​going to live in the Central Plains for a while. His father Khan actually agreed to him, and he left with only a few guards. However... his brother seemed to have said it later..."

Wanyan Yunshu rubbed his head and recalled it hard. Such details seemed to be really difficult for a woman like her who was careless.

"I remembered it. My brother said that the Central Plains he saw seemed a little different from the Central Plains that the person said. It was basically the same, but many details were different."

She pouted and said that she had tried her best and it was already amazing to remember these things.

Fang Jie couldn't help but smile and said, "What you remember in your little head is other things. It would be great if you could remember these things."

Wanyan Yunshu pulled Fang Jie over and hugged her arms: "I didn't know you at that time, and I didn't yearn for Zhongyuan as much as my brother, and I haven't talked to that Han gentleman many times, so I naturally wouldn't remember it. If I had known that I would know you, I would just ask him more."

Fang Jie smiled and shook his head: "But it's strange that it's here."

He looked at Sang Sasa.

Sang Sasa nodded: "That's right, it's strange that it's here... A Han man from the Central Plains to 100,000 mountains may not have traveled all over the Central Plains, so he doesn't know much about the customs of various places. The general matter may be wrong. But he will never remember the details of his own life."

Wanyan Yunshu was stunned: "It turns out that Father Khan was wrong... I remember when he mentioned it to Father Khan, he said that the Central Plains is vast and there is no need to go into the details. It turns out that you can make some mistakes in general, but you can't make too many mistakes in details."

Fang Jie smiled and said, "So, it looks more and more like Sasa speculated now. That person has the purpose of going to your tribe. Maybe this purpose is not aimed at your tribe. The Northern Liao tribe lives on the edge of a hundred thousand mountains. Whether he wants to enter the mountain or come out of the mountain, your tribe is the best place to settle down."

Sang Sasa said, "Before he went to your tribe, he must have prepared it. But he did not leave the Central Plains and went to the 100,000 mountains, but came out from it. So the things he prepared were taught by others, and even he himself did not know right or wrong. Perhaps, he had never been to the Central Plains."

Wanyan Yunshu rubbed the corners of his eyebrows: "It's so complicated, I'd better not think about it."

Fang Jie pondered for a while and said, "Now, according to your ideas, if he came out of the mountains and was sent out by someone, and had specially prepared some things to deal with the Northern Liao tribe, then what is his purpose? He just doesn't want to break off contact with the outside world?"

"What else can there be?"

Sang Sasa was silent for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "It is very difficult to enter the 100,000 mountains. The Northern Liao tribe is the best place to settle down. This is definitely true. What we have always thought before was that the people inside did not want to be isolated, and wanted to understand what happened outside, so they sent individuals to be sent to the sentinel. But they never thought that this person was staying in the Northern Liao tribe and was waiting for some contact with the outside?"

Fang Jie thought about it and nodded: "This is not accurate..."

This conversation was just a boring topic for a few people. Because they suddenly thought of the interest, neither Fang Jie nor Sang Sasa nor Wanyan Yunshu, who had lived in a hundred thousand mountains, did not continue to speculate in depth. First, these had nothing to do with them. Second, they could speculate that these were already very good because they didn't know much.

Fan Gucheng

Now there are only some wanderers living in the city. Their homes have been destroyed. After they escaped, they have been avoiding the war. Their news is too closed and they don’t know if the war is over, so they dare not go home. So they can only walk aimlessly like a walking corpse.

They curled up in the corner, huddling each other to keep warm.

When Fang Jie returned to Fangu City, he repaired the place. After a few years, it seemed to have become much dilapidated again. The laughter and joy that once rippled in the city have disappeared without a trace, and now only the children among the refugees are crying because of hunger.

Mr. Jiu, wearing a moon-white Confucian shirt, walked slowly into Fangucheng and looked at the dusty street. In the distance, there were several refugees curled up under the corner of the wall. When they saw a stranger coming, they subconsciously leaned back.

Mr. Jiu shook his head, and seemed a little bored between his eyebrows.

"People should become strong when experiencing pain, otherwise the pain they experience will be meaningless. Live like these people like walking dead, and those years of suffering have completely defeated them. Even if they are sent to a paradise in the future, their spirit will be gone. They will live in painful memories, and when they see people, they will tell them how hard they have lived in the past few years to gain sympathy... Such people are meaningless to live."

Following him was a child who seemed to be only ** years old.

The boy was not beautiful. His face was too long, his nose was too high, his eyelids were thin, his cheekbones were slightly protruding, and there were freckles on his face. Even wearing a very fit and clean dress, he could not make him look beautiful. His hair was a little yellow and split, and it was as if he was wearing a handful of straw.

"Master, you want to tell me not to be afraid of suffering, to regard suffering as an experience that tempers oneself, and not to be passive and slack... right?"

"You're really not smart enough."

Mr. Jiu sighed slightly, and was speechless about his apprentice's understanding in these aspects. However, what he valued was not the child's understanding in human nature, but in another aspect, very important aspects.

"Master, we haven't been here for a long time. What are we going to get this time?"

The boy asked.

He seemed to be unable to hear at all, and his master's tone was a little disappointed with him.

“There is nothing to be desired.”

Mr. Jiu shook his head: "I have taken away the things that can be used here, and the rest are things that I cannot understand thoroughly. This time I come, I will not take away anything, but leave something."

"What are you leaving?"

The boy asked.

Mr. Jiu sighed heavily this time, because the child was really not smart: "I only brought you here, so of course I want to keep you."

"oh"

The boy nodded, but this time he didn't ask why.

"The rules of our Yueying Hall have never been designated by the previous Jiu Ye, but whoever is stronger is Mr. Jiu. But when the rules are set, there will be a time to break it. I plan to train you and let you be Mr. Jiu in the future. So you have to work hard. If someone robs you in the future, you have to have the ability to kill him."

"oh"

The boy said again, but there was no special reaction.

Mr. Jiu was too lazy to say anything, and pointed to the refugees who secretly poked their heads out to peek at the place: "Kill them all."

"Why?"

"No reason, I let you do this."

The boy was silent for a while, and reluctantly turned around and walked towards the refugees. An hour later, the boy came back, holding the dagger in his hand, and blood was still dripping from him. Mr. Jiu seemed very dissatisfied with his killing speed. But he admired the boy's unhesitation when he killed people. The refugees could not escape because the city gate was blocked by Mr. Jiu's subordinates. However, these people did not kill people, because Mr. Jiu's order was to... let the boy kill everyone.

...

...

Mr. Jiu led the boy through a street and walked into a dilapidated shop. The wine flag fluttering in the wind at the entrance of the shop was only less than one-fifth of the original one, covered with dirty things, and you could vaguely see the word "Mountain". Walking into the shop, passing through the front hall and kitchen, behind it was a small courtyard.

There was a well in the yard. When Fan Gu was still in the crowd, there had never been water from this well, so the honest male owner of this shop always carried a load to go to the well on the street in the distance to get water. Once, the mistress of this shop accidentally dropped the wooden basin of washing clothes into the dry well. She had not heard the sound of the wooden basin breaking for a long time, so she sealed the dry well, but she didn't think much about why a well was so deep.

"Why is there a well built outside? Is it not suspected that the water cannot be produced?"

The boy asked.

Mr. Jiu shook his head: "The well was drilled later, and it must have been drilled out at that time. But there might be something wrong later. The underground collapsed and the water broke. But no one had ever thought that there would be so many secrets hidden in the collapse underground."

"Master, have you been living underground before?"

"No"

Mr. Jiu said, "I have always lived in this city. I am one of the people in this city, but I am just the most inconspicuous one. When I should go back, I go down from this well. The owner of this shop was a couple, and both of them had good cultivation, but they couldn't notice me. When I was free, I would sometimes sit on the edge of the well and watch them bickering. The woman always won, but at night, she would make special compensation for him."

“What is special compensation?”

The boy asked.

Mr. Jiu smiled without answering.

"I am the most inconspicuous person in Fangu City. Later, the most inconspicuous person in Fangu City caused disaster. Fangu City was slaughtered and everyone died. Of course, I would not be discovered by the murderers, and I did not stop me. I just watched quietly and watched those familiar people die one by one."

"Later, the most eye-catching person came back, it can be said that he was returning home in glory... He is here to pay tribute to the dead, and I am watching him in the dark."
