Chapter 6
"Tell me the truth, where did you get this soul stone?" Liu Qing asked with a straight face, staring at the sleepy-eyed Dongfang Tianma without blinking. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It was too sleepy to sneak back last night, so Dongfang Tianma simply put the printed green soul stone and the money bag containing the golden soul stone at the head of the bed. I thought about waking up in the morning and cleaning up, but I didn't expect to sleep until dawn and couldn't get up, but I was discovered by Aunt Qing who came into the house and told me to get up.
"You kid is getting more and more disobedient. Yesterday you hid from me to go out to compete, and today you hid the soul stone at home without me, how many things do you still not let me know? The more Liu Qing spoke, the more excited she became, and even Dongfang Tianma, who was sitting on the bed, could feel her sad mood.
Liu Qing saw that Dongfang Tianma was silent, so he grabbed the heavy money bag again, and saw that there was still a little dried blood on it, and his heart was even more frightened, so he pointed and asked, "Why is there blood on it?" How did so many Golden Soul Stones come about? Say it quickly! With that, he threw the money bag on the bed, and the golden soul stones were scattered everywhere.
"What's going on early in the morning?" Yun Jiu's voice came from behind Aunt Qing, and Dongfang Tianma immediately raised his head, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw and cast his eyes for help.
Liu Qing told Yun Jiu what had happened, but Yun Jiu laughed and said, "Isn't it very good?" Tianma also knew that he had brought money home, and he also found a soul stone of the imprinted seed to come back, which is a good thing! ”
Liu Qing glanced at Yun Jiu with a blaming look. Yun Jiu smiled and said, "Okay! All right! I'm just kidding to liven up the atmosphere. Let me talk to Tenma, you go out and get some breakfast, and send Tenma to school in the city hungry, I won't do it! ”
Liu Qing glanced at Dongfang Tianma sitting on the bed worriedly, and then turned around and went to the kitchen.
After Aunt Qing left, the smile on Yun Jiu's face disappeared immediately, his eyes were extremely serious, and he looked at Dongfang Tianma and said, "What trouble are you kid causing again?" Don't you think you Aunt Qing is angry enough? Hurry up and tell me what is going on from beginning to end. ”
Dongfang Tianma told the story of what happened last night. Yun Jiu thought for a while after hearing this, and said to him: "This matter is too bizarre, even if it is told to Aunt Qing, she will not believe it." ”
Dongfang Tianma said anxiously: "But what I said is true!" ”
"Of course I do. But we can't say that, we have to find a reason for you to believe it. Yun Jiu pondered in silence for a while, and then said to Dongfang Tianma again: "That's it! You listen to me...... "So, so, so, and so, and commanded a passage in the ear of Dongfang Tianma.
At the dinner table, Yun Jiu gulped down the meat-stuffed buns and said to Liu Qing: "This kid has told me everything. He couldn't sleep last night and secretly went to the woods where the trees were fell. You also know that this kid wants to be a swordsman, and you are going to send him to study in the city, and it is inevitable that he will be depressed. In a bad mood, I walked a little more and walked through the forest to the Soul Stone Mine to the north. ”
Liu Qing couldn't bear it when he heard this, and asked Dongfang Tianma, "How dare you go to the mine cave in the north?" Where did you get the guts? What happened to the thing in such a dangerous place......" He whimpered again.
Yun Jiu persuaded, "Don't be sad either, isn't Tianma here well?" Hear me finish. I also went to work in that mine a few years ago, and it was very chaotic, and there were many forks in the road, and everyone who was hired was the poor boy who was the criminal. There are often people fighting because of the soul stones that are dug up, and killing people for money happens from time to time. I think it might be the poor worker who was killed in the mine in the first place to fight for the soul stone. ”
Dongfang Tianma immediately chimed in: "Yes! You don't know Aunt Qing, it's so eerie and terrifying in it, a white skeleton is lying on the ground, and I am scared into a cold sweat. I saw the green glow of the soul stone on the ground, and a money bag there. When I opened the bag, I saw that it was all golden soul stones. At this moment, a cold wind suddenly blew in the mine, and I heard the cry of a woman in the darkness, which frightened me to run away, who thought that I ran in a hurry, and stumbled and fell to the ground, and broke the wound on my face. I didn't think much of it at the time, so I wiped the blood on my face with the money bag. Later, I finally ran out, and I was afraid that you would worry, so I sneaked back to my room to sleep. ”
Liu Qing patiently listened to Dongfang Tianma's words, and sighed for a long time before he said, "You kid is too uneasy. It's not like you don't know that the mine has been sealed for four or five years, what are you going to do there? If there are three longs and two shorts, how will you let me live in the future, have you ever thought about it for me? ”
Dongfang Tianma showed a sincere expression of admitting his mistake, lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry Aunt Qing, I know it's wrong." It's because I'm afraid that you're worried that I don't dare to tell you."
Yun Jiu played a round on the side, "Okay! Don't think too much about it, you mother and son, it's over when things are over, and it's a waste of time to think about it. He turned his head and glanced at Dongfang Tianma and said, "Tianma, you go and say goodbye to your friends, let's go early and strive to get to the city before noon." ”
Dongfang Tianma was waiting for this sentence, and the soles of his feet were smeared with oil and he seemed to run out of the gate of Zhongting.
Looking at the back that disappeared at the door, Liu Qing sighed heavily. Yun Jiu poured her a glass of water and comforted, "Tianma has also grown up, don't always treat him as a child." ”
Liu Qing glanced at Yun Jiu again and said, "Okay!" Do you think I can't see that you taught the boy those words? How long do I live with Pegasus? Can you know him better than I do? I just don't want to embarrass that kid too much. ”
Yun Jiu sighed and said, "It's really pitiful for the hearts of parents in the world!" Besides, you're not Tenma's biological mother yet. ”
Liu Qing picked up the water cup and took a sip and said, "It is precisely because I am not his biological mother that I want to give him better protection instead of his biological mother." Pegasus is my hope to live, and I only have one relative in this world! ”
Next to the white fence near the pasture, only Dongfang Pegasus and Nie Ru stood there.
"You said you were going to the Imperial City of the capital to deliver a letter? To whom is the letter delivered? Why do you have to go? Nie Ru's face, which was still pink and tender just now, turned pale with surprise at the moment, and a pair of eyes stared at Dongfang Tianma without blinking, waiting for his answer.
"I can tell you, but don't tell Aunt Qing, I hid this matter from her......" Dongfang Tianmadang even told Nie Ru what happened to him again.
Nie Ru listened, her eyes widened and she was stunned for a long time, and then she said, "Do you have to go?" You don't even know the name of the dead soldier, and judging by what you've described, he seems to be a dangerous person. You went so rashly, once you encounter a dangerous situation, and you don't have the help of someone you know, how can you survive in a strange place......" Speaking of this, his eyes were full of reluctance, and he saw that Dongfang Tianma also softened his heart.
The wind at the edge of the pasture is mixed with the smell of grass, and inhaling it is always refreshing. Dongfang Tianma stared at the endless green and said, "Xiaoru, I still want to be a swordsman. I thought about it a lot last night, and if I listened to Aunt Qing's words and went to the Soul Stone Academy in Claw Frog City, I think this life would be like this. I...... I can't accept being arranged in life, and I want to pursue what I really want. I know this might hurt you and Aunt Qing, but I really can't do what you want, I really can't! ”
After listening to this, Nie Ru didn't say a word. Her pale face hung down slightly, as if she was a distracted maid in an ancient painting who was deliberately rendered by the painter with a sad atmosphere. She has replaced words with silence, and this way of expression makes the Dongfang Tianma standing beside her feel like a knife.
After a long time, the pale lips spit out a sentence: "I will wait for you, I will wait for you for as long as I want." He left that sentence and turned away. Dongfang Tianma was speechless, he stood there for a long time, watching the back of the black hair swaying in the wind fade away and disappear at the end of the village road.
"What's wrong, Eastern Pegasus? What is a person stunned here? Liao Zisheng's voice came from behind, and Dongfang Tianma looked back and found that he was wearing the white uniform of the city-state swordsman regiment, looking triumphant.
It turned out that there was a strict hierarchy in the city-state swordsmanship. Swordsmen increase according to their strength and contribution, and this is reflected in the blade-shaped badge and the beast embroidery on the white uniform. From low to high, the swordsmen who have just entered the swordsman regiment wear a 1-star badge, and the uniform is embroidered with a gray wolf pattern, and so on, 2-star black bear, 3-star silver python, 4-star snow leopard, 5-star lion, 6-star tiger, and 7-star war elephant. At this time, Liao Zisheng was wearing a uniform embroidered with a gray wolf pattern, and a 1-star badge in the shape of a sword blade.
"I'm in a bad mood, don't bother me!" Dongfang Tianma didn't even look at Liao Zisheng.
Liao Zisheng said: "Oops! The defeated generals are still so arrogant! But think about it, you can only go to the city to study obediently, I'm afraid I won't be able to touch the hilt of the sword for the rest of my life, right? ”
Dongfang Tianma turned around abruptly when he heard this, glared at Liao Zisheng and said, "Even if I don't practice swordsmanship in this life, I will be better than you!" ”
Liao Zisheng smiled: "Okay! Be ambitious! Come and prove it to me! Aren't you the best young man in Fengqi Village's swordsmanship? Come on! I happen to have two wooden swords here, so let's try them again! As he spoke, he threw a wooden sword in his hand to Dongfang Tianma.
Dongfang Tianma took the sword in his hand, and did not stop, and strode towards Liao Zisheng. Liao Zisheng squatted down with a smile, holding the wooden sword in his hand in front of him, and still used the method taught to him by Jin Duoclaw to deal with Dongfang Tianma, and he was enjoying it. Dongfang Tianma slashed down with a sword, and was blocked to the side by Liao Zisheng's horizontal sword, and was about to stab the wooden sword between Dongfang Tianma's legs like last time, but saw Dongfang Tianma jump into the air suddenly, his body turned one hundred and eighty degrees in mid-air, and the sword blade in his hand swung down obliquely, hitting Liao Zisheng's face fiercely, leaving a striking scar.
Dongfang Tianma landed on both feet, threw away the wooden sword in his hand and said to Liao Zisheng: "I won't lose to the same opponent, twice!" And he strode away.
Liao Zisheng's scolding voice came from behind him, "What can I do if you win!" This is not the assessment of the swordsman regiment, even if you win me a hundred times or a thousand times here, it is useless. Go to town and be your good student! ”
