The more you wear your sister

Chapter 15 How facial paralysis develops

It took my dizzy mind about three seconds to process the meaning behind this sentence, and then my whole body suddenly woke up. If it wasn't dark, he would definitely see me stunned.

"My father has been fighting with the current emperor since a long time ago, giving advice and making great contributions to the victory of this great country. But when the country was first established, it was time for the dead dog to cook. My father was framed for no reason and was involved in the A case of treason, beheaded by the emperor's order, and the whole family was exiled to the northwest..."

In this way, he slowly told me about his past in a calm tone as if he was talking about other people's affairs.

A young man who was originally full of vigor and a promising future suddenly lost his father, and changed from a pampered son of the prime minister to a prisoner. He was only 12 years old that year.

The road from the capital to the northwest frontier is so long for a boy who walks on two legs, and his family has suffered all the bullying and supercilious looks from the escorting soldiers. In just a few months, it can be said that they have seen through the warmth and coldness of the world.

But compared with what happened later, what is this?

After walking a long way, when they finally approached the northwest border, they met a group of wandering horse bandits from Tubo.

That group of Tubo horse bandits had just robbed a nearby village called Chujia Village. Not only did they rob gold and silver property, set fire to the village, they also kidnapped a large number of men, women, old and children and brought them back to the country as slaves for sale.

The horse bandits killed the escorting soldiers, and tied his family and other exiled prisoners into the ranks of slaves.

But his younger brother, who is less than two years old, is worthless in the eyes of these bandits.

They snatched the nursing baby from his mother's arms, and threw him to death on a stone.

They also raped his mother in public in front of him and his six-year-old sister.

"That's why I still can't look at women's bodies. Whenever I see them, I can't help but think..." Chu Feng choked up, and finally couldn't continue.

My heart ached, I really wanted to find a place to bump into, and then prick a little straw man, write the word "Bai Ze" on it, and poke thousands of holes with a needle: "Call you cheap, call you Curious, let you ask nonsense!"

But who would have expected this facial paralysis to have experienced such a terrible thing?

I really want to tell him not to bring up his old wounds again, and just pretend that I didn't ask anything.But I also felt that maybe he was satisfying my curiosity at the beginning, but in the end it was no longer for telling me, but he had carried these things on his back for too long, and he needed to talk.

What else can I do for him other than being a good listener?

I hugged him tightly.

Chu Feng was silent for a while, then sighed softly, and continued.

His mother is undoubtedly a great woman. Under the humiliation that would make any woman from a good family in this era feel ashamed, she is still living hard, because if she dies, her two children will have no one to take care of her. up.

But how can a weak woman who has always been pampered and pampered be able to bear the torture of the body and the depression of the mood?She inevitably got sick.

The horse bandits didn't even have the slightest thought of pity and pity. They ignored the crying and pleading of the children, and abandoned the woman by the roadside.

It was a place with no human habitation for hundreds of miles, and there were wolves haunting it at night.

The last words his mother left him were to let him live no matter how difficult it was, and take good care of his sister.

But he couldn't do it. Due to the shock of losing his parents and the shock all the way, his sister kept crying. No matter how hard he tried, within a few days, her sister also died, and her body was also discarded by the roadside.

At the age of 12, he lost all his relatives in this way, and was taken out of the customs and into the desert alone.

There, the horse bandits met another group of horse bandits. After a black-and-white fight, the new horse bandits killed the original group of horse bandits and took away all their property, food and water.

This group of horse bandits had no interest in slaves, so they left the 300-odd people in the middle of the desert.They didn't even bother to kill these slaves. Anyway, there was no food and water, and there was only long yellow sand and scorching sun around them. These more than 300 poor, sick and thirsty slaves could only slowly die of sunburn and thirst.

Facing the desert with no end in sight, most people lost hope and stayed where they were, silently waiting for death to come.But there are still hundreds of people, including the 12-year-old him and the 11-year-old Chu Nan, who chose to go south desperately, holding a glimmer of hope that is thinner than a hair, trying to return to the pass.

Along the way, some people fell down and became nameless corpses in the desert.When they lost their way, they looked back at the route marked by the corpse.

I felt chills from the bottom of my heart when I heard it, and I couldn't help but imagine what would happen if I encountered such a thing. It is estimated that people like me who have neither physical strength nor perseverance will definitely be the first batch of unknown corpses to fall.

At this time, I am afraid that death is a kind of relief. Under the extreme heat and thirst, every second of life will be inhuman torture, and the most terrible thing is that this kind of torture has no end in sight.Perhaps after struggling to the end, he still couldn't get out of the desert, it's just that he was tortured longer than others and died farther away than others.

But he still resisted the god of death with his astonishing will to survive, and kept moving towards that slim hope.That's why he is here now, warming each other with his body temperature, instead of becoming a dry bone in the desert.

The sufferings he experienced were beyond my imagination in a peaceful and civilized age. What troubles me at the age of 12?It's nothing more than failing some exams, being bullied by classmates, being cheated when buying things, losing pocket money, being scolded by mother, etc. Compared with him, that's a fart.

When they endured the hellish heat and hunger and thirst, and finally saw the city wall of Yangguan, only three of the more than 100 people who set out were left.He, Chu Nan, and an old blacksmith.

At this time, they had already struggled in the desert for two days and two nights, during which time they even went in the wrong direction once. That mistake made several people desperate, they sat down to rest and never got up again.

I can't imagine how people can survive and have the strength to walk in the desert for two days and two nights without any food and water.I don't think this matter should be considered in too much detail.

The border guards rescued the three dying people, but the matter is not over yet.

He knew very well that if he returned to the customs as Lin Han, not only would he become a prisoner without freedom again, but he would also be charged with escaping. Commuted from exile to capital punishment.

Even if he doesn't die, there will be many people who want to kill the weeds and root out, wishing for his life.

Therefore, he colluded with two other friends who had been in trouble together and faked the name of Chu Nan's cousin who died in the desert.

At that time, the guard of Yangguan was Xie Jin now.

Xie Jin admired their tenacity and tenacity very much. I think this era also pays attention to the "power of role models", so Xie Jin took him and Chu Nan who had not yet grown up as "models" into the army and took good care of them.

Two years later, Xie Jin adopted Chu Feng as his adoptive son. At that time, Chu Feng was only 14 years old, so the reason probably wasn't like what the veterans said in gossip. It had nothing to do with Xie Fangling. Xie Jin must have taken a fancy to him. talent and potential.

This seems to be an inspirational story of a teenager who has gone through hardships and finally turned himself around one day, but things are not that simple.

Because Xie Jin was also one of the people who wrote to criticize Lin Tan, which led to him being sentenced to beheaded.

"So, he is actually your father-killing enemy?!" I was extremely astonished, this plot is really full of ups and downs.

"One of the enemies." Chu Feng said lightly.

When he escaped from death, he was terrified when he saw Xie Jin for the first time, because Xie Jin had seen him before.Fortunately, Xie Jin probably didn't have much impression of a child he met a few years ago, and his appearance has changed a lot due to hardships and tribulations, Xie Jin didn't recognize him.

However, facing the appreciation and reuse of his father and enemy, he still couldn't show obvious resistance. He was afraid that Xie Jin, who was suspicious, would see something unusual, so he could only bear the humiliation and act like a godson to his father and enemy.

I thought about it, and asked cautiously, "Have you... thought about revenge?"

Chu Feng was silent for a while, then shook his head.

"I don't know. It was the emperor who wanted to get rid of my father back then, and all the officials in the court were making trouble, not just him. He has always been...very good to me. He even sent me to protect you. For the sake of my career."

"So have you ever thought about telling him the truth?"

"Absolutely impossible." He vetoed without hesitation, "You must keep your mouth shut about me, and you must not leak any information. I know the character of my adoptive father very well. He didn't know that when I was Lin Han, You can treat me as your own, if he knows who I am, no matter whether I have revenge intentions or not, he will never allow a potential threat like me to live under his nose."

"I promise, I won't tell if I'm killed!" I quickly swore, and secretly ashamed that I still thought the world was too simple.

At this point, many things that used to be a bit strange can now be explained.

No wonder he looks nothing like his cousin Chu Nan, because they have no blood relationship at all.

No wonder his character is so stoic and introverted. After such a hellish experience, ordinary wind and waves certainly won't frighten him.

No wonder he is obviously one year younger than me, but he is so scheming and sees everything far away, because he has to be careful to survive under the eyes of his father and enemy, once the secret is discovered, he may die without a trace The place of burial.

I don't know now whether I admire him more or love him more, but since he can trust me so much, and even dare to tell me such life-and-death secrets, I secretly swear in my heart that I will do my best to protect him. He, never let him suffer more.
