Chapter 224
Saibei Grassland, in the tent of the Southern Huns.

A woman dressed in Hanfu was carefully carving something with a saber. While carving, she showed various expressions, as if she was talking to a puppet.

In her hand is a tree root the size of a palm. The top of the tree root has been carved in its first exposed shape. Although it is not clear, but if you look closely, you can still see that it is a young man.

There is nothing special about the man's facial features, except that the mouth part is slightly turned up, revealing an arc, which seems to be a smirk.

And when the woman was sculpted to this point, there was also a smile on her face, but this smile quickly turned into a sigh, and a few traces of sadness appeared between her brows.

"Miss, Miss, Mr. Zuo Wang is here." A seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl ran in suddenly and said anxiously to the woman who was staring at the doll in a daze.

The woman was also a little panicked, and hurriedly hid the doll and saber under the quilt.

"Haha, Yan'er, what are you doing? Let me tell you something happy. Today, I had a wine competition with that fellow Da Da Che'er. He lost to me by five hundred cows and five hundred sheep." The man walked in, laughing loudly like thunder.

This person is the left king of the Southern Huns, named Xiulan Zhuerhan, and the Da Da Che'er in his mouth is the right king of the Huns.

"Then Cai Yan congratulates Sir Zuo Wang." Cai Yan's attitude was lukewarm, and there was a bit of respect in his words.

It has been nine years since Cai Yan was taken captive to the Southern Huns. Nine years have made the blue girl mature, and the shyness on her face has disappeared, replaced by a kind of grace, and within the grace, there is A bit of melancholy, it is this kind of melancholy that makes Cai Yan look more connotative.

Xiulan Zhuerhan looked at Cai Yan's appearance with a bewildered expression in his eyes, and raised his hand to touch Cai Yan's cheek.

"Master Zuo Wang, please respect yourself!" Cai Yan said in a low voice, flashing Xiulan Zhuerhan's big hand.

"Ahem, I'm being rude." Hugh Lanzhuhan withdrew her right hand, coughed and said.

Although Cai Yan has been captured by him for nine years, the other party has never yielded to her during these nine years. No matter what methods she uses, be it soft or hard, she is completely indifferent. It happened not once or twice, and this Xiulan Zhuerhan also really liked Cai Yan, so he chose to wait after Cai Yan tried to die for the third time, and did not force her too much.

"Yan'er, I brought you something good this time when I went to the Central Plains. Let's see how it goes." Hugh Lan clapped her hands, and then someone came in with a piano in his hand.

"Jiaoweiqin!" Cai Yan couldn't help but cover his mouth and said softly when he saw the appearance of the Qinqin.

The Jiaoweiqin was made by Cai Yan's father, Cai Yong, and it accompanied Cai Yong for most of his life. After Cai Yong's death, the Qin was originally in the hands of Cai Yan, but after the disaster in Luoyang, the Qin But he didn't know where to go, and seeing this piano again now, how can Cai Yan not be excited.

"Haha, I know what you like most, Yan'er. During this trip, I inquired about the whereabouts of this qin, and finally let me know that this qin is in a small tribe of the Qiang people. All of them were destroyed, so I got this Jiaoweiqin." Xiulan Zhuerhan took the piano from the servant behind him, and handed it to Cai Yan.

"Thank you, Mr. Zuo Wang!" Cai Yan took the Jiaowei Qin and trembled slightly. She thought that she would never see this Qin again in her lifetime, but she never thought that this Qin would also be lost in the desert grassland. middle.

"Haha, as long as Yan'er is happy for you." Xiulan Zhuerhan grabbed Cai Yan's hand while she was not paying attention, and laughed.

"Master Zuo Wang, how about I play the piano for you." Cai Yan violently broke his hand away from Xiulan Zhuerhan, and immediately diverted the other party's attention.

"Playing the piano? Well, it is also my blessing to let Yan'er play the piano for me." He knows the name of Cai Yan as a talented woman, and it is precisely because of Cai Yan's fame that Xiulan Zhuerhan likes her so much. patience.

Cai Yan sat down, put the Jiaoweiqin on his lap, stroked the strings lightly, and then a piece of piano music fluttered under Cai Yan's fingertips, filling the entire tent.

And Xiulan Zhuerhan also seemed to be intoxicated by the sound of the piano. With his eyes closed, he sat beside Cai Yan, but this time he sat, he felt as if there was something foreign under him. .

Lifting the mattress, it turned out to be a half-carved doll.

"Yan'er, don't you forget this person?" Xiulan Zhuhan couldn't help feeling angry when she saw the appearance of the doll, and clacked the doll.He has been waiting for Cai Yan for nine years, and he has never touched a finger of Cai Yan during these nine years. He feels that he can use time to move Cai Yan, so that Cai Yan only has himself in his heart, but the doll in front of him is like a mountain. She completely closed Cai Yan's heart, no matter how much effort she made, it was useless in Cai Yan's eyes, which made Hugh Lan Zhuerhan not angry.

Seeing Xiulan Zhuerhan holding the puppet he had just carved, Cai Yan's zither sound stopped abruptly, "He is my husband, how can I forget, please put down the puppet, Mr. Zuo Wang."

"Okay, he is your husband, so what am I, and how I have treated you these nine years, don't you know?" Xiulan Zhuerhan's voice became louder, questioning Cai Yan like a lion roaring.

"Master Zuo Wang is very kind to me, Yan'er naturally knows it, but Yan'er only has my husband in his heart." Cai Yan put Jiao Weiqin aside, stood up, and said to Xiulan Zhuerhan.

The only person in Cai Yan's heart is Zhou Tian, ​​the person who broke into his heart when he was young, who has not changed since he was taken captive to the Huns for nine years, and will not change in the future! !
"Hmph, do you only have that person in your heart? Then I will definitely kill him." Hugh Lanzhuhan held the doll tightly, trying to crush it.

"Put it down!" Cai Yan took out a saber from under the quilt, laid it across in front of her, and shouted at Xiulan Zhuer Hanjiao.

"Okay, okay, you dare to use a knife on me because of a person. I have been so worthless in your heart for nine years." Xiulan Zhuerhan said three "yes" in succession, staring at Cai Yan said.

"Cai Yan deeply misses Zuo Wang's kindness, but if the Zuo Wang is forcing me like this, Cai Yan will die." Cai Yan put the saber on his neck, and cut a thin bloodstain.

"Yan'er, you..." Zuo Wang sighed, "I can wait for you for nine years, and I can wait for you for the second nine years. I don't believe you will always remember that man."

Hulan Zhuerhan threw the doll in his hand on the mattress, and then walked out of the tent.

And Cai Yan collapsed on the bed, and the saber in his hand slipped to the ground, and the girl beside him hurried forward to support him.

"Miss, are you okay?" This little girl, like Cai Yan, was also taken captive from the Central Plains by Xiulan Zhuerhan. She was originally a girl from a wealthy family, so she was arranged by Xiulan Zhuerhan to take care of her Cai Yan.

"It's okay, bring me that doll." Cai Yan shook her head, but kept panting heavily, no matter how strong she looked on the surface, she was still that weak girl in her heart.

Taking the doll handed over by the little girl, Cai Yan wiped it carefully, then picked up the saber that fell on the ground, and restored the part that had been damaged by Xiulan Zhuerhan.

"Yue'er, go and guard the door, don't worry about me." Cai Yan said to the little girl called Yue'er, then stood up and walked to a corner of the tent.

In this inconspicuous corner of the tent, there is a wooden box. There is nothing special about this wooden box, but it is Cai Yan's sustenance for living in this desert grassland.

Cai Yan opened the wooden box, and inside were dolls carved from tree roots.

There are more than 100 in a whole box.

These puppets are all neatly lying in the wooden box, the faces of the first few are blurred, and the whole figure can only slightly tell that it is a puppets.Obviously, these dolls were carved by Cai Yan when he was taken captive to the Huns, and there is still a trace of dried blood on them, which was left by Cai Yan's hand was cut with a saber when carving the dolls.

Cai Yan, who had just been taken captive to the Huns, was afraid and shed tears all day long. The only thing that could accompany her were these fuzzy-looking dolls. The daily carvings were not only longing, but also the belief in living.

Accompanied by these dolls, the weak Cai Yan chose to live strong, and carving dolls has become what Cai Yan has done for nine years to comfort your heart.

As Cai Yan sculpted more dolls, the faces of these dolls gradually became clearer. The corners of the mouth smirked, and the eyebrows were raised slightly. Zhou Tian's expression of joy or sorrow was all expressed on the dolls.

When Cai Yan saw these dolls, it was like seeing Zhou Tian himself.

She often looks at these puppets in a daze, and the scenes of herself and Zhou Tian together appear in her mind.

She looked at the puppet smiling, and she laughed too.

She looked at the puppet getting angry, and she also pouted her little mouth.

She looked at the puppet frowning, and she also became anxious.

During countless long nights, she met Zhou Tian in her dreams, traveled to Luoyang with Zhou Tian again, and watched the sunset hand in hand with Zhou Tian, ​​but when she woke up from the dream, all these things turned into nothingness again, and she was He would sit up from the bed, open the box containing the Zhoutian dolls, look at each of the Zhoutian dolls, be dazed, giggle, and sad until dawn...
