The rat seized this slightest opportunity, struggled to climb up, the pine flame inserted in the hole in the wall was extinguished, cast the figure of the mouse on the ground, pulled out a strange-looking silhouette, and when the ruler between the eyebrows saw the whole body of the mouse, it had crawled to a place less than three inches from its fingers-

The wet black hair, the big belly bulging because he ate too much chaff and drank too much tank water, the earthworm-like tail, and an inexplicable hateful and hateful feeling came to his heart, and he snorted between his eyebrows, and hurriedly shook the reeds.

With a plop, the mouse fell into the urn again, struggling in the water that was neither deep nor shallow, and an indescribable anger swelled up in the heart of the ruler between his eyebrows, and then he smashed the rat's head a few times with reed wood, telling it to sink quickly, and the mouse turned around in the water, and just floated up, and was pushed down again, and floated a bunch of blisters as big as beans.

After six changes to Songming, the rat could no longer move, but it floated in the middle of the water, and sometimes jumped slightly to the surface of the water.

Seeing that the rat had been drowned, a pity suddenly rose in his heart, and he felt that the rat was very pitiful, so he immediately broke the reedwood, and easily took it out and put it on the ground.

The rat did not move at all, and then breathed a little, and many times the four feet moved, and when they rolled over, they seemed to get up and flee. This surprised the ruler between the eyebrows, and unconsciously lifted his left foot and stepped down!

He only heard a squeak, and when he squatted down to take a closer look, he saw that there was a slight blood on the corner of the mouse's mouth, frozen on the ground, his tail trembling slightly, and his body no longer moved, probably dead.

He wanted to scream, but the voice was in his throat, and he squatted and stared, unable to stand up.

"What are you doing?" asked his mother, who had woken up and was in bed.

"Rat ......"

He hurriedly stood up and turned around, but only replied with two words, and he didn't know how to continue.

"Yes, rat, I know that, but what are you doing? Kill it, or save it?"

There was a long dead silence, and the mother heard her son sigh quietly.

He didn't answer, the pine was burned out, and he stood silently in the dark, gradually seeing the brightness of the moonlight.

"Alas!"

Unable to wait for the child's answer, the mother sighed and said, "When you have a child, you will be sixteen years old, and your temperament is still like that, indecisive, and when you are constantly decisive, you can't be cold-hearted, hard-handed, and it doesn't change at all, it seems that your father's revenge is no one to avenge it." ”

Between the eyebrows, he saw his mother standing in the gray-white shadow of the moon, as if her body was trembling, wrinkled with her eyebrows, losing her beautiful lines, the corners of her mouth were pulled back by wrinkles, and her mouth looked shriveled, and her eyes were still so big, but they had lost their brilliance, and she was always staring blankly.

Facing the light, the ruler between the eyebrows can also see that the mother's fluffy hair is mixed with many silver threads, yes, the mother has become old, very disproportionate to her age, when did she get old, maybe it changed from the time of her father's death?

In Fangcai's low voice, there was infinite sorrow, the body of this haggard and silent woman, without saying a word, rushed out of her own soul like a river, in her, how deep sadness, grievances, life and tears were like a storybook spread out, telling people clearly, the mother's expression made him cold between his eyebrows, and in a blink of an eye, he felt that the blood suddenly boiled in his whole body.

"Father's hatred, what is father's hatred?" he asked anxiously, taking a few steps forward.

"Yes, I want you to report it, I wanted to tell you a long time ago, but because you were too young, I didn't say that now that you are an adult, but you still have that temperament, what should I do?

"Yes, Mother, I'm going to change my ....... ”

Mother nodded, "Naturally, I have to say, because there is only one chance, and that is the one that can get closest to the enemy, so you have to change your ...... So, come over there. ”

The ruler between his eyebrows trembled with excitement, and he walked over, his mother sat upright on the bed, in the dark white moon shadow, her eyes shining brightly, and the ice looked aimlessly ahead, as if she had come to a desolate realm, and she did not see a little green containing business, but only boundless sorrow and silence.

"Listen!"

The father of the ruler between the eyebrows, who was originally a master of sword casting, the first in the world, and even the Zhongshan Kingdom far away in the northern grasslands knew his name, and sent someone to bring a thousand gold, wanting to ask him to forge a sword.

But that was more than ten years ago, after he died, his tools, I have already sold them to save the poor of my family, you can no longer see a trace of the ruins, but you must remember one thing, he is today, the world's only famous sword-forging craftsman.

Twenty years ago, there were rumors everywhere in the kingdom that the king's favorite concubine was pregnant for three years, but she gave birth to a piece of iron, and I heard that she was conceived after holding an iron pillar once.

That piece of iron, according to your father, was a piece of pure green and transparent iron, and after it was born, the king knew that it was a strange treasure, so he decided to use it to forge a sword, wanting to use it to protect the country, use it to kill enemies, and use it to defend himself. The king knew that your father was the world's first swordsmith, so he summoned him to forge a sword.

When your father was selected, he brought the iron home, and exercised day and night, and it took three whole years of energy and physical strength, and the human form withered and no longer human, before he could refine two swords.

What a terrible sight it was on the day of the last furnace!

When a cloud of white gas rose from the ground, the ground also felt shaken, and the white gas turned into a white cloud in the middle of the sky, covering the place, and gradually showing a crimson color, reflecting everything like peach blossoms.

In the dark furnace of the ruler's house, there were two red swords, which his father slowly dripped with well water, and the swords hissed and roared, and slowly turned cyan.

For seven days and seven nights, the sword was not visible, but when I looked closely, it was still at the bottom of the furnace, pure green and transparent, like two ices.

The sparkle of great joy shone out of the eyes of the ruler between his eyebrows, and he took up his sword, and brushed it, and brushed it. Wonderful Pen Court

However, the joy was only a flash of joy, he covered his pale face with his hands, hung his head, and a slight tremor flowed through his body, and miserable wrinkles appeared from the brow and the corners of his mouth.

Father between the eyebrows, he put the two swords in two boxes.

You only have to look at the scene of those days to understand that whoever knows that the sword has been refined-

The father whispered to his wife, "Tomorrow I must take this sword and present it to the king, but on the day of the sword, that is, the day of my life, I am afraid that we will be separated from each other forever."

You......

The mother of the ruler between the eyebrows was shocked when she heard this, and she couldn't guess the meaning of her husband's words, but she didn't know how to say it, and after being silent for a while, she said a little sneeringly, You have such a great credit this time.......

Alas!

How do you know?

The father of the ruler between his eyebrows smiled bitterly and said, "The king has always been good at suspicion and extremely cruel. This time I have refined a sword for him that is unique in the world, and he must kill me, lest I go to others to refine the sword again, to match him, or surpass him. ”

When the wife heard this, she whimpered and wept, and shed tears.

The father between his eyebrows smiled, stretched out his hand and stroked his wife's cheek, "Don't be sad, this is inescapable, tears must not wash away fate, I have already prepared here!"

Mother said this, her eyes suddenly lit up, "Your father, when his eyes suddenly glowed with lightning, put a sword case on my lap. ”

"This is a sword. ”

He said, "Take this sword, and tomorrow I will only give this female sword to the king, and if I go away and do not come back, then I will no longer be in the world!

"Did my father come back that day?"

Hearing his mother talk about this, he felt a fire burning in his heart, and he hurriedly asked.

"Didn't come back!"

The mother said calmly, "Your father never came back that day, and I asked around, but there was no news. Until a few years later, one night, a masked man broke into our house, and he stood in front of me and told me coldly what had happened, and I heard him say that the first person to feed your father's own sword with blood was himself, your father. The king of Chu didn't kill someone, he also made a ghost of your father and buried his head in the front door and back garden of the palace!"

After listening to the young man's intermittent narration, the son of the mountain god nodded, "It seems that I guessed well, you are indeed the son of a cadre." ”

"How do you know me, what are you looking for me......

The doubts in the heart of the ruler between the eyebrows deepened.

"Haha! I've always known you. ”

The voice of the son of the mountain god was proud, "I know that you are carrying a sword on your back and want to avenge your father, because today is the day of the royal family's outing, the king is already very old, this outing, may be the last side that ordinary people can see, once he hides in the deep palace, even if you hold the invincible artifact in the world, you can't sweep the entire palace and turn the enemy out, so you haven't learned the arts, and you still want to give it a go, but unfortunately it doesn't work, I know you can't repay it."

Wouldn't it be impossible to report it, you can't even protect yourself, someone has already told you today, your enemy has already returned to the palace from the east gate, and ordered the whole city guard to open up and arrest you. ”

When the ruler between his eyebrows heard this, he did not feel sad, and the cold wind blew the dead branches and leaves in the field, and scraped on his face, like a whip whipped his heart.

The son of the mountain god walked to the ruler between his eyebrows, "But the old king only knows half of it, and he doesn't know that I want to help you avenge you." ”

The eyes between the eyebrows lit up, "You, will you avenge me, righteous man?"

"Oh, don't wronged me by that name. ”

"Then, you have compassion for our orphans and widows?......"

"Alas, child, don't mention these insulted names again. ”

The son of the mountain god said coldly, "Righteousness, sympathy, those things, which used to be clean before, have now become the capital of ghost debts, I don't have what you call in my heart, I just want to get something, just can avenge you!"

He only heard that the big brother-like figure on the other side was willing to take revenge on him, and his skills had been proven in the battle he had killed more than a dozen palace guards in the battle just now.

But the ruler between his eyebrows was still a little hesitant, he didn't believe that there was such a selfless person in the world, "Okay, you help me, do you need me to do something? How can you avenge me?"

"Just give me two things. ”

By this time, it was getting late, and the surroundings were so quiet that even the sound of grass movement seemed to be audible. Everything lies silently in half-light and half-darkness, half-clear, half-blurred, not as concrete as in the daytime.
