twin moon

The orange-red fire was dancing in the center of the camp, lighting up the eyes of the boys and girls who gathered around the campfire again.

A few hours ago, the three of them took advantage of the opportunity of a successful surprise attack and led the crowd straight to the unknown front in the depths of the ice dome.Only when the cries of killing from the allied forces of the princes behind him could no longer be heard clearly did he dare to stop.When I looked back again, I realized that I had already run more than ten miles, so I camped on the spot, and finally had to catch my breath.

The ice dome that collapsed during the blue flame explosion now opened a large hole in the sky above everyone's heads, which seemed to have opened a huge round window.Right now, the wind and snow have stopped outside the ice shell, the night is clear, the stars and the moon are shining, and the sky is full of the Milky Way.

"Look, that light energy is coming again!"

Ning Yue, who was holding a white fox in her arms, raised her head, pointed at the starry night in the extreme north and said with a smile, her eyes sparkled with excitement.

Following the direction of her finger, she looked out through the circular hole the size of a copper basin, and saw that the ink-like night sky was gradually dyed a light turquoise color by something unknown.Immediately afterwards, a ray of light, like the brocade shaken from the hands of a celestial maiden, drew a soft curve on the sky.

The curve is constantly twisting, changing out colorful colors.It was green at first, then gradually turned blue and purple, and then turned red again, as if a picture scroll with the sky as paper and colorful light as ink unfolded in front of everyone. It seemed that there was no beginning and no end.

"The phosgene this time is even more beautiful than what we have seen on the boat before——"

The red-haired girl rested her cheeks with her hands, staring at the dreamlike glow of light, and said to herself, "I never thought that the three of us would be reunited here in this way." ...But it's okay...everyone is fine..."

As the girl spoke, tears gradually appeared in her eyes.Thinking of the differences between things and people after so many years of separation, and remembering the ugliness she had faced, her emotions gradually became agitated, and she suddenly buried her head in her arms and sobbed silently.

Jiang Yan grinned, reached into his bosom, and took out a slender object.The thing looked like the tooth of a living creature, about several inches long and short.But when you touch it with your hands, it is made of metal.Although it is covered with a thick layer of rust, you can still see the sharp pointed tip made of fine steel after digging it open with your nails.

The man was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and persuaded with a smile:

"Is it a city that even Emperor Baijiang couldn't build?"

The boy with black pupils was not happy, and stopped in front of his father to take it back:

The father on the opposite side suddenly fell silent. After a long time, he nodded slightly:

"For my father, I saw a huge frozen city under the ice. At that time, I felt very shocked. It wasn't until I returned home alive that I realized that the city under the ice was probably a legend. left by the ancestors in the

Ning Yue immediately became a little anxious, and took a step forward to hold the other party's hand: "What's wrong with you, little stutterer! Did you remember anything wrong?"

"Okay, okay, father of the child, please stop bragging. The daughter is still yelling that she is hungry while she is busy telling stories to her son. Go and borrow some food from other houses, so that the children can have a full meal at least!" "

"That city—is it the city of the Dasheng Dynasty? Why has my son never heard about it from other people in the village?"

Jiang Yan was also infected by his father's emotions, and felt his heart beating faster.He understood that his father's appearance was not deliberately disguised to frighten himself, but a kind of fear that went deep into the bone marrow.However, before he could ask again, the mother beside him interrupted them angrily:

After eating the meal in the bowl that seemed to have never changed, even licking the last drop of soup, he touched his still deflated stomach, and understood the still strong sense of hunger and the unbearable pain. The long night can only be passed by the stories in my father's mouth.

The young He Han stood up abruptly, kicking the helmet placed at his feet and rolling it to the ground, even more shocking Qi Ziyin and Ning Yue who were still chatting without saying a word.Xue Ling also jumped from the girl's arms to the ground, and disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

"Daddy, Daddy, my daughter is still hungry."

The young Jiang Yan suddenly slapped his hands, and said as if he had suddenly realized.He never thought that his father, who has always been honest and obedient, had such a legendary experience, so he hurriedly asked, "What happened later? Daddy, that's where you saw the ancient city?"

"Where did you find this thing?!"

Ning Yue also squeezed out a smile on her face, but the smile was obviously a bit forced.And behind that smile, what the boy in white saw was endless exhaustion and worry.However, he didn't know how else to persuade him.

As Jiang Yan spoke, he tugged on his father's cuff, urging him to speak more quickly.Some distracted men finally came to their senses and looked at their son with regret written all over their faces, as if they regretted not being able to take a few more glances in that city:
"Many buildings in that city are hundreds of feet high. Although they are also built of bricks and stones, there is no gap on the surface. On the doors and windows, there are many crystals inlaid with crystals, some of which are thicker than fresh water. Wide roads, and bridges suspended in mid-air supported by thick pillars. I have never seen such a scene, and I am afraid I will never have the opportunity to see it again in this life."

Unexpectedly, before the girl touched his body, Jiang Yan suddenly jumped up violently, and slammed the other hand away:

Jiang Yan keenly caught a trace of strangeness in the man's tone.

"I remember correctly...I remember everything correctly!"

"Don't touch me! Leave me alone!"

"Well, at that time, we will take over the entire Zitong Street shop, eat as much delicious food as we want, and play as much fun as we want!"

Facing his father's vague answer, the black-eyed boy was completely immersed in endless imagination, and even his stomach, which was still growling, was not as hungry as before.

The red-haired girl raised her head again, although she gave her a gouged look, she smiled through tears:

"When I grow up, I will take enough clothes, water and food by boat, and go there with my father for a while, shall I?"

Speaking of this, the man subconsciously cleared his throat, as if he recalled the extremely tense life and death scene, "We floated all the way across Cape Lema in Shuozhou, all the way to the depths of the frozen sea in the extreme north. That's where , my father’s friend collapsed because he couldn’t stand the severe cold, and died. My father was lucky, and he survived by drifting into a dark river of warm water under the ice.”

"Ominous thing? Where did father get it from?"

The man shook his head, but he didn't give a definite answer, but he still seemed to be surprised by what he saw and heard back then, "Thanks to the warm water under the ice, I was able to enter the ice field alive." In the depths, and by chance, I was able to see that unrivaled wonder."

"The world is much bigger than you can imagine. The places we have been to and the things we have seen are just a drop in the ocean. Being a father is also a coincidence, so we have to get a glimpse of one of them - as for Haier and his Even if the money fanatic's father does meet him, he will probably just treat the ruins like a pile of rotten rocks, and he won't even take a look at them."

"Why did you throw it away? Daddy, if you don't want it, just give it to me!"

"This time, we will definitely go back alive!"

"Right now—isn't it a good time right now? The surroundings are completely clear, and there are no miscellaneous people and things to disturb the interest."

The young Jiang Yan asked, full of curiosity.

"However, wasn't it the millennium after the Great Ascension to the Dynasty that people were finally free from the harassing beasts and built tall city walls and passes? I even took this iron tooth to ask Hai'er next door today. , He said that his father had never seen this thing before, so he didn't know what it was..."

Ning Yue also seemed to be recalled by the other party's words, stroking the fluff on Xue Ling's neck, "If there is another chance, I want to visit the night market on Zitong Street again, and go to Xigang to catch up again. Hai, enjoy the blowing snow on the Yanjiang River in winter again, and look at the twin moons on the Jieta that are almost within reach—just—all of these are gone now..."

"What is it? I can't guess it for my father." The man who had just returned from fishing seemed to be very tired, but he still managed to answer.

Speaking of this, the man suddenly showed fear, and his voice became a little trembling, "What's more, my father seems to have released something hidden under the deep ice. To this day, I can still hear the sound coming from the ground." There are rhythmic muffled sounds, like the evil spirits in hell, trying to knock on the door that locks them!"

The father smiled slightly, and gently stroked the top of his son's head with his rough hands:
"That city existed long before the Dasheng Dynasty was established, but not everyone can go there."

Father suddenly laughed, and patiently continued to explain:

"You must not go there! It seems to be a huge underground labyrinth. If it wasn't for my father's good luck back then, accidentally triggering the mechanism, I was able to find the way out of the city. Otherwise, today, my father may have already Trapped and starved to death in that city—"

"Oh——no wonder you keep telling us, Dad, that we must never get close to the frozen sea in the north in this life."

The younger sister also turned around and laughed "giggle" at her brother.Jiang Yan could clearly see the vivid red in the exquisite sterling silver necklace on the other party's neck.I also saw a little black mole on the tip of my sister's nose, the size of a sesame seed, but very clear...

Just as he was talking, he suddenly clenched his hand and wanted to push the door open, intending to throw the thing away.

The father cried out in surprise, then snatched the thing from the child's hand and rubbed it in the palm of his hand, "Father, I thought it was picked up by a mouse, but I didn't expect it to still be there. But this thing—don't keep it." Stay at home!"

The young Ye Guogong looked at the stream of light in the sky, his eyes became more and more blurred, "Do you see the light in the sky that day, does it look like the fireworks we saw at Huaqing Pool back then?"

"Father, tell me quickly, how did that ice city look like?"

The girl's mood sank again.At this time, she was already exhausted, she hadn't recovered from the energy she spent casting spells during the day, and she didn't even have the strength to cry, so she could only bite her lower lip tightly and use all her strength to stabilize her trembling shoulders.

"You bastard, when did you become more gluttonous than Xiaobaba? Don't even look at when it is now!"

The child still didn't give up, and continued to mutter:

"The three of us can get together again, it's really something worth celebrating. But it's a pity, if we can have a pot of aged Qing Li Shao, and a few dishes of delicious dishes cooked by Sister Jia herself, the three of us can't be together tonight." Drunk without return!"

The black-eyed boy patted his chest and put on an appearance of being fearless.However, the face of the opposite father suddenly became serious:

"Daddy, Daddy, I found a treasure at home today, do you want to guess what it is?"

The father looked at the curious eldest son, his eyes were full of kindness:
"This object was picked up by my father in the ruins of an ancient city when he was young—but that was many years ago."

"Little stammer, what's wrong with you?"

"Actually, my father doesn't know who and when the ruins were built. It's just that such a magnificent and majestic city may not be able to be built even with the power of the whole country."

Hearing his sister acting like a spoiled child, the child with black pupils suddenly groaned in his stomach, as if protesting to him.Jiang Yan lowered his head and stretched out his hands to rub his lower abdomen, then looked up at the girl with two buns in his father's arms, and grinned awkwardly.

"When my father was young, he once sailed out to sea with a friend from his hometown, but encountered a storm near Jinghui Bay, the mast was blown off, and the oars were lost, so he could only drift north with the current— —”

"Dad, are you saying that this thing actually came from the ruins left by the ancestors?"

But no matter what the two of them were talking about, Jiang Yan who was sitting on the side didn't say a word.It's just that none of the companions noticed that the young Hehan's thoughts had already drifted to the nights when he and his sister listened to his father telling stories more than ten years ago, following the warm and bright flames in front of him...

Only then did the red-haired girl realize that the time had passed, and it was already midnight.She also finally realized that something was wrong with Jiang Yan who had been silent all this time, and asked:

After pondering for a while, Qi Ziyin suddenly said firmly.It seems to be comforting the other party, and it seems to be cheering for myself, "After we go back, we can rebuild Mulu City! By then, all your wishes will come true!"

Jiang Yan refused to let it go:

Before the words fell, the younger sister at the side took the lead in throwing herself into the arms of her father, saying in a coquettish voice:

Seeing this, Qi Ziyin quickly comforted her.

"This thing—it's an ominous thing, and it's already so old. If Yan'er likes it, father will make you a new one out of wood tomorrow!"

"Like, very similar..."

The black-eyed boy didn't pay attention to her, instead he seemed to be absent-minded, repeating in his mouth over and over again:

The red-haired girl didn't know what happened to her companion, she froze on the spot, but there were tears in her blue eyes.

"Little stammer...we...really just reunited..."

The girl's body shook slightly, as if she would fall down at any moment.However, she tried her best to stabilize her emotions, bit her lower lip and turned her head to look at Qi Ziyin.But before the white-clothed boy could react, Ning Yue quickly bent down and picked up General Yan's helmet from the ground, trying to catch up with the crimson figure that was gradually going away, and followed closely.
