Chapter 209: Sorrow

Dong'an looked at Xue Yu, both rows of teeth chattering: "Childe... You...... See, it's not that I'm dazzled, right, you've seen the stone, right? ”

As he was talking, a gust of wind blew, and there was a rustling sound in the bamboo forest, which was broken into pieces, as if someone was whispering in his ear. Dong'an only felt that there were figures everywhere, and he was so frightened that he followed Xue Yu's side closely.

Xue Yu couldn't help but stop, listened to the movements around him, and muttered: "Dong'an, you go east from here, and I go west." ”

Dong'an wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, pulled Xue Yu's sleeve and said, "Okay......." He said well, but he looked around thiefly, and when he saw Xue Yu going west, he hurriedly followed Xue Yu to the west.

Xue Yu was so angry that he pulled his sleeve and scolded, "Do you know where Dong is?"

Dong'an nodded and stammered, "Childe, I'm ...... Your personal guard, your personal ...... Can't leave you. This...... Place...... It's too dangerous, I have to protect you. ”

Xue Yu pushed him a few times, but he just didn't leave, and Xue Yu was helpless, so he asked Dong'an to take a cyan sweat towel and tie it to the bamboo. After walking like this for a while, the bamboo really appeared in front of him again, but the stone changed direction, and Dong'an pointed to the bamboo tremblingly and said, "Gong....son, there is a side ...... here Person. Saying that, he looked around sneakily: "Mine, sweat....why is the towel gone, it must be ...... It was taken away by a ghost. ”

Xue Yu ignored him, squatted down to take a closer look at the stone, and then turned around to look at the bamboo. After looking at it for a long time, I took out my sweat towel and pressed it against the stone. led Dong'an back again. After walking for only two teas, I saw Dong'an's sweat towel tied to the bamboo. Dong'an was dumbfounded, leaned over and looked at it for a while, vaguely seemed to understand in his heart, but he couldn't help but look at Xue Yu blankly, and asked, "Childe, this, what's going on?"

Xue Yu looked at the bamboo and whispered to himself: "I deliberately made such an identical stone." Everywhere it was put around. When ordinary people come in, they naturally follow the road, and when they find that they are walking, they will go out. Then I will pay attention to everywhere, this stone is not big or small, but it is very conspicuous in the forest. After seeing it a few times, it is inevitable to think that I am spinning in the same place. Whether it's going back or moving on. After walking for a while, I was confused. ”

As he spoke, he pointed at Dong'an with his hand: "Look." The bamboo next to it is just that, but the few bamboos near this stone are similar, even if there are subtle differences in length and thickness, how can you tell them with the naked eye, I just looked at this bamboo, and the trim is very similar, that is, the stone is deliberately chiseled into exactly the same. The stone I just pressed the sweat towel on was round at the top and flat at the bottom, and even the concave pocket on the left side was exactly the same. Then press Qimen Dunjia or Bagua Array to put it out. Is... Today is that I don't believe in ghosts and gods, and it's a sunny day. Otherwise, three more in the middle of the night. It's dark and secluded here, and I'm scared and confused. ”

When Dong'an heard him say this, he felt that it made a lot of sense, and hurriedly stood up straight and said, "So Miss Xia planted it on purpose...... I'm still thinking I'm a ghost. ”

Xue Yu nodded: "It must be the fourth brother's handiwork, I heard that the fourth brother has been pondering these things for the past few years, it shouldn't be finished at this time, if it is done......" I couldn't help but think in my heart: "She is always like this, she is careful wherever she goes." Is it possible, I can't protect her yet......" Thinking about it, I couldn't help but sigh: "This family, I have lived in it for all these years, if it wasn't for the fact that my stepmother drove out the lobby uncle and the second uncle and the third uncle, I really don't know what else would happen." I don't blame Jiu'er for being careful. ”

This time, the two of them knew, so they no longer followed the path, but followed the Big Dipper in the sky to go inside, and sure enough, after walking for a while, they saw the outline of the main house. The two of them were tired and sleepy, so they found a decent bed and squinted for a while. It's just that the window of this medicinal jade is not shading, and as soon as the day dawns, the room will be bright. How could the two of them still be able to sleep, not to mention that Xue Yu still had something in his heart, so the two of them got up and washed up.

Xue Yu took the arrows in the quiver and counted more than twenty of them. Dong'an sighed when he saw him, so he comforted: "Childe, what do you have in mind, just tell the little one to do it." ”

Xue Yu shook his head, pulled out the dagger and added Xiaoyu's name to the tail of the arrow, thinking: "I'm afraid it won't be coaxed in a day or two, I'll send this over first, and then think of other ideas." ”

Just thinking about it, Dong'an suddenly ran out, and after a while, he ran in again: "Grandpa Guo is here." ”

Xue Yu looked out, and saw that Grandpa Guo was looking at the bamboo forest with his hands behind his back and was stunned, hesitated for a moment, but still put on his robe and greeted him: "Father." ”

Huguo Gong sniffed and said, "I heard that the little guy said that you are back, so I came over to take a look." As he spoke, he glanced at him, and saw that his eyes were blue and black, and he didn't seem to have slept well, so he couldn't help but sigh and said, "The things here are not complete, so it's better for you to stay in the east of the city." Look at you, you're young ....... right now."

He wanted to say more, but when he saw his son's impatient look, he stopped, sighed apologetically, and said: "This time my father is sorry for you, alas, I also saw that Brother Xia and his wife were rare good people, but Miss Xia ......"

Xue Yu was startled, immediately pricked up his ears, and sneered: "Miss Xia is smart and virtuous, I have nothing to dissatisfaction with. ”

The Protector only thought that he was angry with himself, but he didn't ask questions, and continued with a wry smile: "Brother Xia specially let me see her yesterday, she was sick and crooked, and she could be blown down by a gust of wind...... If you... Not happy... It's not impossible to retreat, your Uncle Xia is very righteous. ”

Xue Yu couldn't help sneering and said, "Why, what kind of tricks did your stepwife come up with, and I don't think I have enough relatives to retreat." Why don't you go out and inquire about how many decent families in the city are willing to marry their daughters to me? Who doesn't know that my stepmother is one of the best people in the capital. I look at Miss Xia like this, at first glance, she can't give birth, isn't this exactly what the Xu family wants?"

The Protector was ashamed to be robbed by him, and muttered: "It's not that I don't love you, Wen'er's qualifications are mediocre, Mr. said that he is hopeless in the imperial examination, unlike you, he has been smart since he was a child, and he can learn anything...... Soon. It's only natural for your mother to worry about his future......"

Xue Yu nodded: "If my qualifications are mediocre, you must say: Your qualifications are mediocre, I am afraid that the Guogong Mansion will be handed over to you, but it will be lost in a few years." It's better to hand it over to Wen'er, Wen'er is your brother, and he will always take care of you. ”

The face of the protector was red by him, and he simply said: "You can talk about your martial arts, and the sage treats you very kindly, you just don't want to be a national prince, it is easy to be a first-class and second-grade general, why fight with your brother." Your brothers are single-minded, our family is a national prince and a general, who else can cross our family in this huge capital?"

Xue Yu couldn't help but clapped his hands and laughed when he heard this: "Dad, what you said is really good. However, Guogong is a product, and my general is only a fourth product now, why should I exchange four products for one product. Hmph! If you are not convinced, and you simply make a fuss, no one will want to get this title. You want me to give it up, it's a fool's dream. ”

Rao is protector was prepared, and he couldn't help jumping up angrily, pointing at Xue Yu and reprimanding: "Evil obstacles, don't rely on yourself to be proud in front of the saint, don't put Lao Tzu in your eyes, be careful that I go to the saint to sue you for disobedience." ”

After saying that, he turned around and left angrily, Dong'an was guarding outside the courtyard to send Guogong out, and he could still hear him muttering: "Lao Tzu is kind enough to help you, but you are treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, good, good, since you are not willing to quit your family, you will marry the Xia family, and you will cut off your children and grandchildren in the future, and it is not Wen'er's child who inherits the title." What are you fighting for?"

Xue Yu looked at his father's back, although he never hoped that his father could help him say a word, but when he heard him personally persuade him to give up the title, he couldn't help but feel disappointed. I was angry and hateful in my heart, but because it was my father, I had nowhere to vent. I had to go back to my room in a daze, and when I saw the dozen or so arrows scattered on the table, I felt very dazzling, and I couldn't help but feel sad, and I raised my hand to sweep the arrows to the ground, and rushed into the bamboo forest alone.

At this time, a dark cloud floated in the sky, and the forest couldn't help but be dark, Xue Yu felt sad in his heart, and secretly thought: "If I am a heart-minded person and give the title to my younger brother, the Xu family and my father are grateful to me, maybe they can be kind to me, but I can't be generous, I just don't want to give them to them." Perhaps, I'm just a lone star, and I deserve no one to suffer. ”

Xue Yu didn't sleep all night, just pretended to sleep for half an hour, wore a single coat and walked in the bamboo forest for a while, and then felt a little cold when the morning breeze blew it, he didn't know that the sky had changed, only when he felt uncomfortable, he felt cold, and became more and more self-pitying: "Even this wind also deceived me." Speaking of which, in this world, Miss Xia still favored me, and now she is also offended by me. My father doesn't hurt, my mother is deceased, my grandmother is weak, for the sake of the four-grade general, I was injured all over my body, and my life hung by a thread several times, but I just wanted to give Miss Xia a fame that could be seen. He said it easily, as if the second- and third-grade martial arts were like picking up things. Alas, I'm so hard and tired of living, I really don't know what else it means?"

Just as he was thinking about it, a gust of wind blew, and a light rain crackled into the forest, and after a while, Xue Yu's robe and middle coat were penetrated. Xue Yu couldn't help but raise his head to face the rain, and thought to himself: "This rain is coming in time." Thinking to himself, he slowly closed his eyes, and the tears mixed with the rain, but he couldn't see it.

After a while, Dong'an's voice floated from not far away, and Xue Yu didn't bother to pay attention to him, and cried happily on the big stone alone.

Because it was raining, the sun was not visible under the dark clouds, and there were no stars, Dong'an got lost after a moment in the forest alone, stumbling with an umbrella like a headless fly, east and west, and after a while, his clothes were also soaked, and he turned seven or eight times before he saw Xue Yu lying on the ground.
