Peach Blossom Dyeing Jinge

The ladder prepared by the Northern Expedition Army was the tallest and longest ladder Di Dongqing had ever seen.Its base is wider than the house, and only relying on half of the cantilever, it is higher than the outer wall of the imperial city.

Even so, in front of the Great Wall of the Northern Wilderness, it was still only able to touch a small half.

The craftsman has explained that the current height is approaching the limit of the ladder structure, and the top is already crumbling. If it is extended, it will collapse before it is stretched flat.Originally, the Northern Wilderness Great Wall was not for people to climb, even if Lu Ban was alive, he might not be able to do anything about it.

Di Dongqing looked up, gritted her teeth and said, "Master, I'll carry you up."

Lu Zhengqiu raised his eyebrows, and said: "No need, my hands and feet are fine, I'm not old enough to have my disciples memorize it."

Di Dongqing seemed to have expected the opponent's reaction long ago, and suddenly stretched out her arm and grabbed the opponent's wrist.

"You are this?"

"I only use this hand. If you can break free from me, I will let you go alone."

Lu Zhengqiu was silent for a while, and then poured all his strength into his arms, however, no matter how he used his kung fu to cast spells, Dongqing still remained motionless.

He quickly gave up struggling, the zhenqi in his body had already been washed away by the qi soil, and the remaining few were said to be struggling free, not even one of Dongqing's fingers could be broken apart.

Seeing that he didn't understand, Dongqing continued, "This ice wall is much harder than my fingers. When you reach the end of the ladder, how are you going to climb it?"

Lu Zhengqiu asked back: "Do you have a way?"

"Yes," Dongqing replied immediately, "Don't forget, I have been good at climbing walls since I was a child."

Lu Zhengqiu was startled, and memories from the past came to mind.He finally shook his head and said, "Okay."

Dongqing seemed to have been waiting for this sentence for a long time, the two words entered her ears, and immediately let go of Master's hand.Then he noticed the bruise on the other's wrist, and turned to cover his own finger, stroked it carefully, and asked, "Does it hurt?"

Lu Zhengqiu chuckled, lowered his voice and said, "A little bit, but it's not as painful as that night."

Dongqing let out a low cry, and immediately turned her face away, her cheeks blushing unconsciously.

Lu Zhengqiu put his hands on the top of his head and rubbed it, and said: "Then I'm not welcome." Then he put his arms on his shoulders.

Di Dongqing understood, and immediately grabbed Lu Zhengqiu's arm and pulled it to his chest, then bent his knees and bent down, took advantage of the situation to support the other's leg socket, and lifted the person behind him onto his body.

Soon, he felt warm and soft breath on the side of his neck.

His hands and feet became stiff, and his shoulders tensed.He heard a concerned voice in his ear: "Holly, why are you so nervous, has Master become depressed?"

"No, it has become lighter." He responded in a low voice, with a bit of helplessness in his tone.

Lu Zhengqiu was silent for a moment, did not speak again, but clasped his hands firmly on his chest, trying to save him some strength.

He put his hands on the ladder and started to climb up.

The ladder leans against the Great Wall alone, like a reed protruding into the vast lake, and the two overlapping figures are like a dewdrop on the stem of the reed, starting from the earth and sliding towards the increasingly hazy sky.

The cast iron ladder was cold and hard, with a layer of hoarfrost hanging on it, which was melted into a thin layer of water by the temperature of the palm, and stuck to the skin. Every time I moved the palm, I had to endure the pain of tearing.

The palms of the young man turned red from the cold very quickly, and a few dark bloodstains faintly appeared on the palms.

However, this is just the beginning, the hundred-level ladder will soon come to an end, shaking slightly at the bottom of the feet, if you want to continue going up, you can only rely on your own strength.Di Dongqing unloaded two ice picks from his waist, aimed at the frozen wall, swung his arms vigorously, and pierced the tip of the picks.

This little ice pick is the only thing he can cling to.

The cold wind was howling around, and he said in a deep voice in the wind: "Master, there will be no ladders in the future, you must hold me tightly."

Lu Zhengqiu's answer came close to his ears: "Don't worry, even if someone puts a knife on my neck and forces me to let go, I won't be willing."

Di Dongqing nodded, stepped into the gap made by the ice pick with one foot, and chiselled a few times with the tip of her toe, making the egg-sized hole wider and wider until a space enough to fit half of the sole of the foot was formed.

He kicked off the ladder at the bottom of his feet, stepped into the hole, moved his body and the weight on his back up together, and then moved out a hand to knock the ice pick to a higher place.

If there was no way, he dug his own way.

If there is no possession, the flesh and blood will be used as a possession.

This is his "idea". Climbing in this way will take at least a few hours, and the higher the altitude, the stronger the wind. No effort was spared to keep the balance of the two of them, not even a chance to rest for a moment.

As long as there is a little carelessness, the two of them will fall down the cliff together, and they will never recover.

In this world, there is no shortcut to soaring upwards and to be alone in the breeze. If you want to climb to the land of no one, you have to sacrifice your own hands and feet, and use your life as a bet to move inch by inch.

Lu Zhengqiu was lying on Dongqing's back, and he heard his breathing became more and more heavy. Several times, he seemed to make a low moan between his teeth, but was pressed back into his throat by his tightly closed lips.There is a stubborn energy in him, he would rather bite off his tongue than take the initiative to say a discouraged word.

Ben is such an intelligent person, he is self-taught in medicine, he knows martial arts by analogy, and he is able to do a job with ease in the world, but for himself, he chooses such a clumsy and stupid path.

Lu Zhengqiu's heart was riddled with holes, every time the iron awl broke through the ice, it was like a fist hitting his heart.

He stuck to the other side's ear and asked, "Holly, are you tired?"

"Not tired."

"to be frank."

"……tired."

Lu Zhengqiu sighed: "It's rare that you are willing to tell me the truth."

Holly was silent for a while, and then said: "Tired, but worth it."

"What is it worth?"

"It's worth everything." Dongqing replied, and quickly added, "It's also true."

Lu Zhengqiu was stunned, why didn't he hope that he was worth it.

He has overcome obstacles all the way, struggled from the deep mire until now, and everything he has done is for the sake of this sentence.

He hugged his arms tighter, pressing his chest against the other's warm back: "You are the person I miss the most in this world."

"Master..." Dongqing paused for a moment before continuing, "Zhengqiu, I will accompany you to the last moment."

Lu Zhengqiu blinked, and in the darkness, a puddle of water swirled in his heart. He thought, he really likes being called by this person's first and last name, and the pampering and tolerance that are entwined between his lips and teeth.Although he is an elder, he is deeply envious of the energetic voice of the young people, like a young girl who is full of spring, and feels inappropriately happy because of a title.

However, the secret joy quickly melted into the sadness, like a drop of water flowing into the river.The sadness was so deep that it had already filled his heart, and he wanted to melt it away, he didn't even care about shame or humbleness, he just wanted his name to remain in Holly's mouth forever.

It would be great if this sinful life could turn into a ray of breeze after death, often lingering around this person.

Di Dongqing climbed another section, and took a moment to look at her hands. The tendons on the back of her hands had turned purple, and a few pieces of her nails seemed to have fallen off, and some of them were still bloodshot on her fingertips.

He felt that his toes were wet, and when he looked down, blood had already leaked from the edge of the shoe.

Fortunately, Lu Zhengqiu couldn't see all of this.

He said in a dreamlike voice: "When I was young, I often had a nightmare. I dreamed that my father and mother were looking for me in the firelight. I looked at their faces and tried desperately to tell them that I was right in front of them, but my But I can't make a sound in my throat, I can't even say goodbye, I can only watch them turn into ashes, I really hate this dream... So, this time, let me accompany you to the last moment."

Lu Zhengqiu's tone suddenly became serious: "You must never throw life and death lightly, even for me."

Di Dongqing took a deep breath, and the faint sound did not escape Lu Zhengqiu's ears.

Lu Zhengqiu asked word by word: "You thought about it, didn't you?"

Holly neither affirmed nor denied it.

He thought about it, how could he not have thought about it, Lu Zhengqiu knew this well, but he still wanted to utter an extremely cruel request:

"Holly, no, you promise me that you will live on even if I'm gone."
