Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 1244 Twins
"Hey? Meng Ge, you grew up on the border between the Northern Wei Dynasty and Xirong?"

Just half an hour before Meng Shi came on stage, looking at He Lianyan lying in a pool of blood on the stage, Li Jinniang looked at Meng Ge and said unexpectedly.

She, Meng Ge, and Gui Li were sitting in a small box prepared for dignitaries by the viewing pavilion.Although the box is small, it has a lot of furnishings inside. There is a small table with melon seeds and tea, and even plum blossom crisps that Li Jinniang and others had eaten in the mid-Tang carriage.

There are four embroidered stools beside the table, but one is empty now.

"I really envy An Ge, who can watch the battle under the stone platform," Li Jinniang sighed looking at the exquisite pastries on the table.

The last match of the day was a duel between high-level practitioners. I was worried that something unexpected in the battle would cause the formation to rupture and endanger the audience. I had to sit in the box prepared by Zhao Guang and watch the battle from afar.

"After all, Sister An Ge has broken through." Gui Li sighed even more heavily, and looked at Li Jinniang enviously. Although Li Jinniang has not awakened, as the daughter of a heavenly practitioner, she is also a natural practitioner. If there is something in the future Adventure, maybe like Ji Ange, can also rise to the top.

But she is just an ordinary person.Gui Li knows very well that the chance of becoming a practitioner from an ordinary person like her brother is very small.

"If only I were a natural practitioner."

"Even natural practitioners can be divided into those who can awaken and those who can't," Meng Ge, who was sitting next to Gui Li, comforted Gui Li in a soft voice. She pointed to herself with a wry smile, "You can tell by looking at me Natural practitioners who cannot awaken are no different from ordinary people."

She is even physically weaker than ordinary people.

"Your frailty and illness probably have something to do with the ups and downs when you were a child." Li Jinniang stared at He Lianyan who got up from the stage from afar, "What's wrong with this Xirong person? Is his body made of iron?"

"The Xirong people are stronger than the people in the Great Wall of Eternal Night," Meng Ge looked at He Lianyan with some fear.

Just now, after watching He Lianyan survive so many attacks by Li Ji, they chatted about the physique of the Xirong people, and then they began to talk about the physical strength of the practitioners in their respective countries. Finally, Meng Ge mentioned that he grew up big place.

"Really? You really grew up on the border." Li Jinniang sighed, "Then where is your hometown on the border? Which city is it in?"

Southern Chu is the country farthest from Xirong. When Li Jinniang was a child, she knew nothing about the group of demons outside the Great Wall of Eternal Night. It was not until her sister ran to the border of the Northern Wei Dynasty that she began to have a rough understanding of the border.

She has read in the books she bought from the bookstore that although the border has been invaded by Xi Rong for many years, the people living in Guancheng are protected by the army and can still live and work in peace and contentment. Come a lot of novelties beyond the Great Wall.

This made Li Jinniang look forward to the border to a certain extent, and found that the north was not as desolate as she had imagined, no wonder her sister ran away from home and ran north.

"It's not Guancheng."

However, facing Li Jinniang's question, the smile on the corner of Meng Ge's mouth, who had been smiling gently, disappeared.

"It's not Guancheng," Meng Ge replied calmly. "My brother and I were born in a village called Huishidong Village on the border of the Northern Wei Dynasty."

The girl's voice was neither happy nor angry, very calm, but the bodies of Li Jinniang and Guili sitting on the chairs were a little stiff.

Even though they were ignorant of the world, the two could hear something different from Meng Ge's voice.

"Huishidong Village?" Li Jinniang gave a dry laugh, "Sounds like a good place..."

"Don't force it," Meng Ge glanced at her and smiled slightly, "That's not a good place."

Li Jinniang's pupils shrank slightly, "I'm sorry, I..."

Meng Ge looked at the guilty woman in front of him and shook his head, "Don't worry, it's all over."

She knew very well that the Southern Chu woman in front of her was just unintentional when she mentioned Guancheng.

From the perspective of the people in the south, the border of the Northern Wei Dynasty was protected by the Great Wall of Eternal Night, even if they lived near Xirong, it would not have any impact. I am afraid that all the people on the border lived in the tall Guancheng.

Guancheng?
Meng Ge raised his head, as if he had returned to the shock of standing next to the tall city wall for the first time.

It's a pity that not all border people can live in the city.

She and her sister's childhood, there were only gray fences and dilapidated villages.

And the Xirong cavalry who will come to rage after the snow falls.

Meng Ge hates snow.

When she saw the crystal falling thing for the first time, she used to love it very much, but when she was four years old, she already understood where the fearful expressions of the villagers came from every time they saw Xueluo.

Greystone Cave Village.

She didn't tell Li Jinniang that this was not just a village on the border of the Northern Wei Dynasty, it was also the most unlucky village in the most remote part of the Great Wall of Eternal Night, where the population was so sparse that even the defenders wouldn't chase the Xirong soldiers here.

There are not many villages like this nearby.

The scimitar in the hands of the Xirong cavalry is sharp, but there is another sharp knife in this world.

That is poverty and ignorance.

In the winter when I was five years old, there was a heavy snowfall in the village.

Meng Ge remembered that she was holding her sister's hand, standing at the entrance of the village and asking timidly, "Sister, why don't we move to the city?"

She once asked her father this, only to get punched and kicked.

Because the birth of twins is a hell, their mother died of a hemorrhage when giving birth to them. Since then, the father who was still willing to herd and farm has become an alcoholic.

And they also became the ominous people in the village.

As a result of her mother's death, there were still two daughters. Meng Ge still remembers how those villagers avoided her and her sister.

Her older sister, who was born only a quarter of an hour earlier, held her hand tightly, "Because we have no money."

"But, if we don't have money, don't we have feet?" Meng Ge asked inexplicably. The barrier of the village was so weak that the Xirong cavalry could break it, even the two children could go out.

"But going out, where can we go?" My sister squeezed her hand, "Father has already sold us."

The father, who is a tenant farmer, harvested [-]% less wheat in the autumn harvest. In order to avoid the landlord's whipping, he actually proposed to use his daughter to pay off the debt.

"Age," Meng Ge remembered his precocious elder sister holding her hand tightly, "We are slaves now."

Going nowhere, no future generations of free slaves.

Meng Ge remembered that she held her sister's hand and stood at the entrance of the village like this, looking at the heavy snow and their hopeless future.

It doesn't get any worse than this.

She indifferently remembered that she was hiding behind the door and heard her father laugh obsequiously at the so-called landlord.

"The twin sisters in tweed look small now, but their mother looks good, and they will definitely sell for a good price in the future. Can they be worth [-]% of the wheat..."

The snow fell heavily on the ground, Meng Ge closed his eyes.

It doesn't get any worse than this.

However, the next day, she realized how naive she was.

"Look, they brought the Xirong cavalry!"

"The twins are unknown! There are still two girls, burn them to death, and the soldiers from the West will definitely not come to our village this year!"

Meng Ge remembered that she opened her eyes in severe pain. She didn't see the familiar air leaking ceiling. All she saw was her sister who was tied to the firewood pile like her.

There are countless villagers with torches.

　Giving birth to twins is very dangerous in modern times, not to mention ancient times
