In the dead of night, the snow falls silently.

There was a black shadow in the snow, at the mouth of Liuye Alley in Shenjing City, shuttling out silently, and then sneaking into a nearby alley, extremely cautious and vigilant, every time he walked a distance, he had to probe everywhere before making the next move.

As everyone knows, all its every move has been on the huge picture scroll on the top of Sitian Tower, at a glance, and it is obviously a habitual offender, on the mountain and sea map, there is also a line of small characters next to the green dot that represents it.

The daughter of You Tingjian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, You Ruier.

For this daughter, who often violates the curfew regulations, Lord Shang Shuyou of the Ministry of Rites obviously goes to Sitian Pagoda to pay fines and silver to make amends.

However, tonight was different from the previous direct rush to the nearby inn, this time the green dot jumped between the houses in the middle, and then burrowed into one of them and disappeared.

The house belongs to private territory, and Si Tianta cannot be viewed without a special order, but You Rui'er's abnormal behavior has already attracted the attention of Si Tianjian, so a calm female voice from Si Tianta sounded later.

"Send two overseers to see it and make sure it is safe, and then inform the old patron Lord You to come and pay the fine. ”

At that moment, two figures wearing the robes of the Si Tian Jian monks shot straight out from the third floor of the tower.

On the first floor of Sitian Tower, behind the girl in a wheelchair, the figure of an old man with a white beard suddenly cut through the void and came out.

Li Chunfeng looked at the little girl in front of him, who was already Si Tianjian's new brain, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes, and then he said:

"Xiao Xiaoxia, it's late at night, you need to rest, and the old man can sit for you for a few hours. ”

When the girl in the wheelchair heard this, she turned her head, first saluted the old man respectfully, then shook her head, and responded:

"Don't worry, master, if I'm sleepy, Taiping will tell me a story. ”

Hearing the word Taiping, Li Chunfeng's pupils shrank slightly, and then he raised his hand to touch the head of the little girl in front of him, nodded, waved his hand, and his figure disappeared in place, but he didn't know that he was bitter in his heart.

He has been in charge of Si Tianjian for nearly fifty years, and the sum of this human race's first artifact mountain and sea map and what he said does not add up to ten sentences, he originally thought that this first artifact is really as arrogant as a legend, but he didn't think that he would tell a story to the little girl to relieve her boredom, Li Chunfeng suddenly felt that his life was in vain.

At the same time, You Rui'er, who jumped down from the high wall and half-squatted to offset the impact, stood up, clapped her palms, and looked up to see a white-clothed ghost-like figure standing silently in front of her, startled, and just opened her mouth to let out a scream, she was covered by a big hand, and at the same time, Sima Annan's slightly annoyed voice sounded softly.

"Are you stunned, dare to trespass on people's houses at night. ”

The girl's heroic eyes blinked, Sima Annan moved his right hand, an extremely soft touch came, and he hurriedly took a step back, coughed, but Miss You was more generous, pulled him to the inner room, and spoke as she walked:

"It's urgent, don't run at night, and it's too late until day. ”

"If you do this, you will attract Si Tianjian to the door, and then the reputation of my gentleman will be ruined. ”

The two came to the eaves and shook off the snow on their bodies, Sima Annan looked annoyed, and the girl opposite him rolled her eyes and said:

"It's okay, I'm familiar with this kind of thing in the night walking god capital, this girl I have a good breathing technique, and I have never been targeted by Si Tianjian, besides, my girl's family is not afraid of ruining the reputation, you are a big man. ”

After speaking, he turned around and pushed open the door, then walked into a large hall, took off the backpack on his back, threw it on the tea table, and continued:

"Fortunately, I had the foresight to choose such a large mansion, and the silver in this cloth bag is enough to cover half the price of this house, and half of it will be mine in the future. ”

When the words fell, he didn't give the stunned Sima Annan any time to react, raised his head proudly, picked an inner room, and then slammed the door shut.

In the hall, the young man in white clothes returned to solemnity, and shook his head helplessly, he did not go back to the house, but stood with his hands in his hands, silent.

He was waiting for the arrival of the celestial supervisor.

A moment later, when the supervisor knocked on the door of Sima Annan's new house, in an old house near Gyeonggi Mansion in Shenjing City, a young man with exceptionally bright eyes gently closed the door behind him.

The old mother, who had not seen him for nearly two years, had been holding his hand, crying and chattering from afternoon to late at night, just falling asleep, the sound of Shanzi closing the door was very soft, and after turning around, he saw a rickety back under the eaves in front of him.

The back looked at the wind and snow in front of him, and the half-black and half-white hair on the top of his head formed an extremely strange gray, Shanzi silently looked at his father who had not seen him for a long time, and the strangeness in his heart became stronger and stronger.

Two and a half years ago, my father's hair was not gray.

After both father and son were silent for a while, the young man of Gyeonggi Prefecture, Yin Shan Wenbai, suddenly turned around, stared at the front of him, his eyes burned, and he said:

"Get on your knees!"

"Father!"

Shanzi subconsciously took a step forward and muttered, but a sharp shout sounded in the courtyard again.

"Get on your knees!"

Shanzi, the elite scout of the Endless Mountain Jade Dragon Pass, clenched his fists, slowly bent his knees, and knelt on the ground.

"Two and a half years ago, when you left home to join the army, I told you that you would not be allowed to return home for less than three years, so why did you come back at this time?"

The young Shanzi, who was kneeling on the ground, bowed his head and was silent, without saying a word.

Shan Wenbai, who was standing with his hands in front of him, raised his legs and gradually approached, his right hand was raised, and he was about to slap it down, when the door of the house in front of him, which was originally closed, opened outward in an instant, and the middle-aged woman wearing only a single coat rushed out from the inside, rolling and crawling, accompanied by a terrible cry, and protected in front of the kneeling Shanzi.

"Shan Wenbai, you are still not a person, any other father in Great Xia wants his child to return home from the battlefield, but you are the only one, but you have to drive him to this Shura hell, and now the child is going home to visit his relatives with glory, but you are going to be furious here, this family can't stay, go, son, let's go!"

After the middle-aged woman finished speaking, she turned around and pulled the kneeling mountain up, but the latter was unmoved, still kneeling on the ground.

"Don't step into the inner room, kneel until tomorrow morning, and then get out, and there will be half a year, and after the three-year period is over, wherever you go. ”

Looking at his wife and children in front of him, the rickety Shan Wenbai waved his sleeves, turned around and walked into the inner room, closing the door, indicating a decision.

The next day, when the morning light was faint, and the snow city was first sprinkled, Shanzi, who had been kneeling on the ground all night, stood up, kowtowed to the door of his mother's house, and then walked out of the courtyard with a blank expression, and the heavy snow in the sky still drowned his body.

In front of the Taihang Palace, he smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said hello to his compatriots in the army who also went home to save their relatives, carrying large bags and small bags on their bodies, and even carrying chickens and ducks in their hands.

Smile brightly.
