Deng Jian looked at the roast duck rescued, and was relieved. He stood up and said angrily: "It's okay if you let your senior brother not see the world, but you almost threw the roast duck. You... are tolerant, but who is unbearable? If you are so careless, you will not cherish the roast duck in the future. Brother and you will cut off your robe and make a break. Don't say that you are not prepared for it."

Chen Kaizhi's face did not have the shame that Deng Jian expected, but became lonely.

His eyes first looked at Yue, then looked faintly at the darkness in the distance, and sighed: "Senior Brother, it's the fifth day of the fifth month."

"Hmm? So what about the fifth day of the fifth month?" Deng Jianyu's anger was not gone.

Chen Kaizhi said quietly: "I have a brother who met today last year. It's a pity... it's a change of things."

Deng Jian looked at Chen Kaiyi's eyes, his face calmed down, and he couldn't help but say, "Where is he now?"

Chen Kaizhi shook his head and said, "I don't know, there is no news yet. Now I have fallen into the capital, but I don't know what happened to him, whether he is hungry, or not... I don't have clothes to wear."

Chen Kaizhi was melancholy and breathed a long breath.

In a sense, except for his mentor, Chen Wuji is the first person he treats like a relative in this world. For people in this world, perhaps such so-called sworn brothers are irrelevant, but for Chen Kaizhi, it is crucial.

At this time, he deliberately turned his face to the darkness of Yueying, so that the wetness in his eyes would not be seen by Deng Jian. Although he knew that men would not cry easily, perhaps because they had experienced too much. Although they were usually strong, once they touched the soft part in their hearts, Chen Kaizhi still couldn't help but feel the urge to cry.

He sucked his nose and said, "Okay, go back and have roast duck."

"Isn't it uncomfortable?" Deng Jian looked at Chen Kaizhi worriedly.

Chen Kaizhi shook his head and said, "It's just a little sad, and it won't be uncomfortable."

"No conscience." Deng Jian gave him a blank look, and suddenly remembered the roast duck that he almost died just now. He couldn't help but sarcastic: "If Senior Brother is separated from you in the future, you will probably not feel uncomfortable."

Chen Kaizhi smiled, his pace was still steady: "No, because I firmly believe that he will live well. No matter where he is, what kind of person he becomes, what kind of experience he will have, one day, he will definitely find me, and he will definitely!"

Deng Jian was silent and couldn't help but sigh.

…………

The far north.

The bitter cold wind here is many times colder than the northernmost Liaoxi County, Liaoning, which is at the northern end of the Northern Yan Kingdom.

Here, splashing water can turn into ice, and here, countless trees are covered with snow all year round.

The wind here is like the call of a group of wolves, and it seems that it will never stop.

And here too.

At this time, Chen Wuji was being locked in a deep cellar. He was wearing only not thick clothes, which made him unable to help curl up, and his eyebrows and eyes were already frozen. At first, he continued to tremble, but later, he seemed to be stiff all over and began to lose power even when he shivered.

He just curled up his head and had whip marks left on his face. In such weather, the pain would increase by being whipped in such weather, but what really made him suffer was not the cold and the pain caused by whipping.

He is hungry.

It has been two days since the rice has been gone, and my stomach seems to be burning.

He leaned on the wall, knowing that he had not lived for a long time, and his godless eyes stared blankly at the endless darkness in the cellar.

At this time, a sudden gust of wind and snow suddenly poured in.

The lid of the cellar is open.

Chen Wuji did not feel happy, but instead trembled. He knew that the torture that was about to come was about to begin again.

But this time, a woman came in. She was wearing a tightly covered fur, but even so, she seemed to feel cold.

This was a thirty-year-old woman. She was holding a bag in her hand and when she covered the lid of the cellar, she untied the cotton cover covering her face without the wind and snow.

I saw her face beautifully, and her expression was filled with an invisible affinity.

She approached Chen Wuji, smiled at Chen Wuji with kindness, and then opened the bag: "Are you hungry? Hurry, eat quickly."

Chen Wuji did not hesitate at all, and he suddenly rushed towards the bag like a hungry wolf.

There were only steamed cakes that were as hard as stones in the bag, but Chen Wuji didn't care at all. He was too hungry and chewed wildly. The woman handed him a pot of wine. He poured it down without hesitation, and suddenly his body began to become hot.

The woman smiled and said, "I came here. Although it was cold and cold, the people here have been your brothers and sisters since then. I... can be your mother from now on. Your name is Chen Wuji? This name is not good. I think it's time to choose another one."

Chen Wuji ate very quickly, felt a little full in his stomach, and finally felt a little better. At this moment, he shook his head and said, "No."

He seemed very stubborn.

The woman smiled and said, "Hey, your child is really stubborn, just a name. Here are several major surnames, some of them, some of them, some of them, some of them, some of them, some of them, some of them, Han, some of them, and some of them, Zou. You are here, we are a family, and you are no longer the same as you used to be."

Chen Wuji still shook his head stubbornly.

"Okay." The woman seemed to stop insisting. She touched Chen Wuji's head indulgently and said, "Are you cold? Later, I will ask someone to send you a fox fur coat. It's too cold here. Although it's already spring and summer, it's still snowy here." She was spitting white breath, as if confirming the bad weather here.

Chen Wuji nodded, and seemed to be a little more kind to the woman.

The woman sighed again, "I heard that you were punished because you refused to swear to kill all the scholars and dogs in the world?"

Chen Wuji nodded again.

The woman sighed and said, "All Confucian dogs can be killed. These people are all hypocritical. Many years ago, at that time, even before the Han Dynasty, these Confucian dogs did all their conscience. Think about it, you must have been bullied by many people in the past, right? Why do they want to bully you? Didn't those Confucian dogs always say that benevolent people love others? But they only love themselves and will not care about you."

Chen Wuji nodded again, as if he was empathetic.

The woman's eyes were gentle, covering Chen Wuji's hands that were almost as cold as they were about to crack, conveying some warmth to him, and continued, "Since that's the case, you swear that we are a family. I will be your mother and treat you well. I once had a son..." The woman showed her sad face: "I used to have children, but... but this place is too bitter and cold. It takes less than a few months for the child to be born, and the wind and cold..." A burst of tears fell in her eyes.

Chen Wuji's eyes were also red.

The woman looked at Chen Wuji with expectant eyes and said gently: "Then do you swear, okay?"

Chen Wuji hesitated and said, "Is it necessary to do it after making a vow?"

The woman said angry and amused: "Of course we have to do it. In the future, any Confucian dogs will be killed quickly."

The next moment, Chen Wuji's melted heart suddenly became harder and iron again: "No, I won't swear."

The woman frowned and said, "Why?"

"Not every Confucian scholar is a dog, I have a brother..."

Bang!

The woman seemed to be angry and suddenly changed her face. She slapped Chen Wuji on the face, knocking Chen Wuji to the ground, and then said fiercely: "In this world, all the disciples named Kong are despicable dog thieves!"

The woman continued sadly: "If it weren't for these Confucian dogs, why did they kill all our sons? Why did they let us escape from here and let us live like dogs in this place? Do you know... how many people died back then? If it weren't for this, how could I... how could I have lost my children? We are here, generation after generation, and after hundreds of years, and are still here, in order to survive, because life is worse than death. Our only belief is to survive. One day, we will pass and kill all Confucian dogs in the world!"

"you……"

She glared at Chen Wuji viciously, her gaze was like a female wolf with a fierce light.

Chen Wuji was so scared that he hurriedly shrank to the corner. He was just a child, not a brave person.

The woman sternly said, "You should swear, or you should... die!"

Chen Wuji opened his mouth and wanted to speak.

The woman's eyes were full of redness, with countless hatreds: "Do you know how we will deal with these people who are in mingling with the dog? We will peel him off and hang him in the snow, so that the wolf can slowly bite his flesh and blood. Now, I ask you again, are you willing?"

Chen Wuji's body was like a sieve, his teeth were clattering. He wanted to nod, but a figure appeared in his mind, and his eyes blurred tears.

He looked timid, but he didn't know where the courage came from: "No, I will never swear, and there is also, my brother is not a Rugou, and no one in this world is better than him. You, no, even ten you, one hundred you, one hundred, one hundred, one hundred, one hundred, one hundred, one hundred, one hundred, one hundred, one hundred, one hundred, one hundred, one hundred, one hundred, one hundred, one hundred, one hundred, one hundred, one hundred, one hundred, one, I don't want to recognize you as a mother. I have never had a mother since I was young. What I dreamed about was that if I had a mother in this world, how good it would be to have a mother, but... I will never recognize you. I already have a brother, and my brother is the best person in this world. Just kill me, peel my skin, and feed my bones to the wolf. Come, kill me!"

Chen Wuji became more and more excited as he spoke. He tried his best to untie his upper collar and pulled it downwards, revealing the already frozen purple skin. He glared at the woman and gasped: "I will never swear, never!"

The woman looked at him, but changed into a strange look.
