Pampering the sea

Heavy snow fell one after another, covering the sky and the earth. The young and thin woman sucked her nose, and helped the blood-stained man beside him to walk slowly. She put his hands on her shoulders, for fear that he would fall.

The sky and the earth are extremely vast, and the bodies of the two of them appear to be extremely small. In the flying snow all over the sky, they can be shrunk into inaccurately small dots.

"Xin Yue..."

Xin Yue turned his head and looked at Yan Zhan who was close at hand, but saw that his eyes were half closed, and his long eyelashes covered slightly, making him look like he had fallen asleep, but in fact, his eyes were also looking at Yan Zhan. The mouth closed tighter and tighter, his face was as pale as a patient who had been ill for a long time.Really, I was so tired that I fell asleep forever.

Xin Yue looked at him, frowned, and pursed his lips: "What do you want from me? Do you want to thank me for my great kindness, or do you want to say your last words and share some inheritance with me?"

Yan Zhan raised his eyes weakly, his face was as pale as jade, as if he had regained a little consciousness.

"Yan Zhan, let's talk. We are already friends who share weal and woe. You won't put on airs as a minister when we chat with you?"

Friend... Yan Zhan's eyelashes moved slightly, the corners of his mouth moved so weakly and unobtrusively, and his pale face was filled with joy.

"Say... let's talk..." He tried his best to stop the pain rising up in his chest, and said with a strong breath.

Xin Yue actually didn't know what to say to him, she just didn't want him to just fall asleep, so she tried to divert his attention.After struggling for a long time, he still didn't know what to say to him, Xin Yue endured the impatience in his heart, and reminded himself of the context of his acquaintance.

As soon as Xin Yue recalled their first meeting, the Lingtai lit up.

Got it!

"Yan Zhan, why are you lurking in the East India Company?"

In fact, she knew very well that he might miss such a court mission, but the reason she asked him the question was to divert his attention, not to relieve her curiosity about him. In fact, she was not very curious about him. In my heart, he is just a loyal courtier, with a bit of self-sacrifice, and he can be regarded as a model official.

"I...I want to go..."

"What do you want to go?" Xin Yue raised his eyebrows and asked.

"I want to...defeat those people...they killed...killed my parents...and occupied...our land...can't be forgiven, can't be forgiven..."

The answer was beyond Xin Yue's expectation, and the expression on his calm face froze.

It turns out that he is not a pedantic official who listens to the imperial court, but hides such a deep hatred?

"I want to drive...them...out of China, I want our people...not to be persecuted...I am...Chinese...I understand..." After saying these few words, he seemed to be drawn out of thin air. Losing all his strength, his body fell limply, his hands slipped from Xin Yue's shoulders, and he fell to the ground with a "bang".

"Yan Zhan!"

Xin Yue yelled uncontrollably, but found that his eyes were closed tightly, and the long eyelashes covered them quietly.

When they met for the third time, he asked her in the captive cabin: "Where does your hatred come from?"

She said to him: "You are not Chinese, you don't understand."

In fact, he may know better than him.

His parents were killed by the invaders, and he lived in this era. He is used to the dire persecution, the arrogant and inhumane aggression, and he himself has felt the same experience, so his pain and determination are definitely no less than hers. .

Is it because of this that he disregarded his own safety and went undercover in the Dutch army?

There was no response to any speculation. He had already fallen on the snow, his clothes were blood-stained, and he was motionless.

Xin Yue no longer had any emotions, she knelt on the ground, unable to shout or do anything, only the deep fatigue rushed towards her like a raging sea, sweeping all her senses.

His long-tired body couldn't take it anymore, he fell forward and fell to the ground with a bang.

Snow slowly fell on the pale and small side face, and a section of calf was exposed, which turned from white to purple.

No matter how strong the volcanic eruption in the distance is, it cannot melt, and the coldness here.

"Over there!" Someone's voice sounded in the distance, and Xin Yue heard their call. She really wanted to stand up and drag Yan Zhan forward, but she couldn't do anything, she couldn't even move.

The chill invaded all limbs and bones, piercing through the bones, and even her heart became icy cold. Her little face was buried in the snow, as pale as paper, gradually turning livid as time went by.

So cold.

The sound of footsteps in the distance continued to sound, getting closer and closer, like the mourning sound of death, Xin Yue's heart suddenly became unprecedentedly silent.

"Master Yan!"

Xin Yue's originally dead eyes flashed a sharp wave, she opened her eyes wide, looked at the pair of boots in front of her, moved her head with great effort, and saw Cheng Yuan and Yan Zhan's other clothes all covered in blood. men.

Two hours later, the sky was bright, and the sky and the earth were covered with sticky white, and the erupting volcano quickly fell silent. The heavy snow all over the sky was thicker than ever before, and the snow that had only reached the ankles could now flood the knees , The flying heavy snow hovered in the sky, like soft and cold goose feathers, fluttering and lingering for a long time.

"Ah Yan."

The man's voice was like the ocean, with traces of unfathomable depth.

"Well, brother." Chu Yan brushed off the snow particles on his clothes, and looked at Chu Zhiling with a deep expression in the heavy snow.

"Did I do something wrong?" After a long time, Chu Zhiling's voice sounded, and heavy snow fell on the ground, falling on the corners of his black fox fur shoulders, adding infinite sadness to the contrast of black and white.

Before Chu Yan could speak, Chu Zhiling raised his head slightly, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "It was her who was wrong, why was it me who was punished?"

"Brother..." Chu Yan frowned.

"Forget it, let's go back." Chu Zhiling let out a hot breath, with a somewhat lonely smile.

"Brother, since we've all chased you here, why don't you look for it again?" Chu Yan asked out of nowhere.

"If she wants to hide from me, she won't be found anywhere in the world." Chu Zhiling smiled and shook his head.

Chu Zhiling pulled up the reins, ready to walk on the way to and fro.

"Chengyuan, tell them to slow down. Your Lord Yan has been seriously injured, and you are so angry that it is not good for him if you rush to the road in such a bumpy way." Xin Yue lay on the back of one of Yan Zhan's men, and explained in a hoarse voice. road.

Why didn't she want to rush to the Shanyi where Cheng Yuan was going, but haste makes waste.

Cheng Yuan frowned and nodded, but the next moment another person made a surprised voice: "Look! There are people below!"
