Thirteen years ago, in late autumn, on the border of Dafeng.
This is the territory of Dafeng, and eighty miles ahead is Beirong. Because there are constant battles here, there are no people in the front and back, there are wild trees on both sides, and there is silence between heaven and earth.
A young boy wrapped in a red fur coat and carrying a small crossbow on his back, and a well-dressed young boy in blue, were walking on the wild road in the wilderness.
The two of them were in tandem.
Seeing that it was getting late, the little boy in blue looked up at the sky, a little worried, "Ayan, I'm scared, let's go back."
The voice was soft and sweet, that of a girl. The face was rosy, and she was obviously a girl.
The little boy in red took off the crossbow from his back, rubbed the crossbow, and said:
"Sister Yujiao, it's rare for us to run out once. If we can't catch prey, I will never go back. I want to prove to that little piece of wood that I am not a little girl who knows nothing."
She has long and narrow eyebrows, a face as white as jade, a heroic spirit that is indistinguishable from male to female, and a crisp voice.
Zhao Yujiao was a little worried, "Ayan, I'm really scared. It's going to be dark soon. It's too scary here..."
As he spoke, tears began to fill his eyes.
Seeing that Zhao Yujiao was about to cry, Ye Chuyan sighed deeply.
This Zhao Yujiao is the daughter of a distant relative of hers. The relative's family died for some reason, leaving her alone.
Her father took her into his house a year ago. They are similar in age and often play together.
Just a happy silence and a happy movement. She likes to wield swords and guns, while Zhao Yujiao likes to embroider with needles.
The old emperor in the palace is dying, and Prince Pei Ye is about to succeed. This time his father came to the military camp to discuss the matter with General Shen.
I also hope that General Shen can stabilize the border and prevent the Beirong people from taking advantage of the opportunity to invade when the new emperor succeeds to the throne.
She wanted to see the "Lone Smoke Head in the Desert" on the border, so she pestered her father to come with her.
Zhao Yujiao has always been soft-tempered and only cries when things happen. She was worried that Zhao Yujiao would be bullied by others in the house alone, so she proposed to take her with her.
After all, Zhao Yujiao was only eight years old. It was the time when she was curious, thinking that she might have the opportunity to come to the frontier for once in her life, so she happily agreed.
For the sake of convenience, the two of them disguised themselves as men along the way. Because they were young, they could go in and out of the military camp without any problems.
However, the young master of the Wu family who was training in the military camp accidentally discovered his daughter's body.
He has bright black eyes and white teeth. His skin is not as fair as that of the noble prince from Kyoto. He was tanned to a honey color in the military camp.
He relied on his martial arts and archery skills to bully him a lot in the military camp during this period. She also threatened that she didn't look like a lady among the ladies and that he would be the only one willing to marry her when she grew up.
She didn't want to marry a naughty boy like Wu Mu.
She gave him a vicious nickname: Little Wood!
This morning, Xiaomu said that she was a girl who knew nothing.
She was angry.
She sneaked out with a crossbow in the afternoon. She must hit the rabbit to prove that she was not incompetent.
Zhao Yujiao was afraid that something might happen to her, so she insisted on coming with her.
Hence the current situation.
Ye Chuyan hates seeing Zhao Yujiao cry the most, and gets anxious every time he sees her crying.
I could only say leisurely: "Sister Yujiao, I beg you, please stop crying."
Seeing Zhao Yujiao crying non-stop, Ye Chuyan felt a little embarrassed for a moment. She was unwilling to go back like this, but she also didn't want Zhao Yujiao to cry.
"Let's do this. Let's climb to the top of the mountain and take a look. No matter if we hit or not, we'll be back in half an hour."
Ye Chuyan pointed to a nearby mountain as he spoke. The mountain was not high, and there were some tall shrubs and woods on both sides.
Zhao Yujiao hesitated for a moment and nodded lightly.
She is just an orphan fostered in the Ye Mansion. Ye Chuyan is the upright eldest daughter of the Ye family. How dare she go against Ye Chuyan's wishes. Even though he was reluctant, he still climbed up the mountain with him.
The two climbed up the mountain. Ye Chuyan stood at the top of the mountain and took a look down. Only then did he realize that the other side of the mountain was extremely low and there was a steep cliff below.
White mist shrouded the mountains, and the frozen river surface below could be vaguely seen, with white jade-like paving at the foot of the cliff.
The border has always been very cold, and it was just late autumn, and the river was already frozen.
Zhao Yujiao stood aside and glanced down quietly, her face turned pale with fright. If you accidentally fall, you will definitely die.
She trembled and said: "Ayan, hurry up and hunt. After hunting, we will go back quickly."
Ye Chuyan looked around Western Zhou, found a flat stone, and said to Zhao Yujiao: "Sister Yujiao, sit here and wait for me. I will be back in a moment."
After saying that, he lit a torch and handed it to Zhao Yujiao, then took out a small wooden whistle from his sleeve and stuffed it into Zhao Yujiao's hand.
She said while crossing the fort: "Hold this torch carefully. Most wild animals will not dare to come forward when they see the torch. And this whistle, if you need anything, just blow the whistle. I will rush back immediately when I hear it."
Zhao Yujiao trembled as she took the things and warned her repeatedly, "Ayan, you must go early and come back early."
Ye Chuyan nodded with a smile and said in high spirits, "Don't worry, I'll be back as soon as I catch the prey!"
After saying that, he ran into the woods.
Zhao Yujiao sat on the stone, panicked. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come out with Ayan today. This place is too scary.
As soon as Ye Chuyan left the stick of incense, Zhao Yujiao heard a crashing sound in the bushes. She was so frightened that her eyes widened and she looked at the jungle in horror.
A figure in red clothes appeared. It was Ye Chuyan who was dragging something back!
Zhao Yujiao felt relieved. She rushed over and hugged Ye Chuyan, sobbing: "Ayan, you scared me to death."
Ye Chuyan was a little helpless. "Sister Yujiao, don't hold me so tightly. I didn't catch the prey, but I found this one."
Only then did Zhao Yujiao notice that behind Ye Chuyan was dragging a tall young man.
He was estimated to be about ten years old. He was wearing a Dafeng military uniform and a cotton robe. His eyes were closed and his face was pale. His left hand was completely black and there were three bloody tooth marks on it.
Zhao Yujiao was so frightened that she almost lost her soul.
After Ye Chuyan laid him down, he took a few breaths and said, "Sister Yujiao, this soldier seems to have been bitten by a poisonous snake."
Zhao Yujiao was so panicked, "He is so tall and we can't drag him back to the military camp. What should we do now?"
Ye Chuyan scratched his head, it was true. Zhao Yujiao was right. The soldier was too tall and heavy when he was unconscious. There was no way they could drag him to the military camp.
However, if he were left here to call someone, he would definitely be eaten by wild beasts once it gets dark.
Ye Chuyan thought for a moment and said: "Sister Yujiao, take care of him first. I'll go look for him where I just found him. There are usually antidotes in places with venomous snakes."
When Zhao Yujiao heard this, she immediately grabbed Ye Chuyan's sleeve.
"Ayan, what if the poisonous snake there bites you? Don't take risks for an injured soldier!"
Ye Chuyan said with a straight face: "Sister Yujiao, how can you say that?"
"No matter what reason this little soldier got injured here, he is our Dafeng soldier wearing Dafeng's military uniform! We can enjoy fine clothes and fine food in Kyoto because these unknown soldiers are guarding our territory here."
Zhao Yujiao felt ashamed and ashamed at these words, and said sarcastically: "Ayan, I'm sorry, I was wrong. Go ahead. I will take good care of him."
When Ye Chuyan entered the forest again, Zhao Yujiao's sculpted little face suddenly turned ferocious.
If she had Ye Chuyan's status, she would be able to act righteously.
She has no roots and no support, and a life of fine clothing and fine food is too rare for her, so she instinctively does not want to take risks for anyone!
She kicked the unconscious soldier angrily, and the soldier groaned in pain, and a white jade waistband fell out from the clothes around his heart.
