Chapter Eighty-Three: The Exquisite Past
For several days in a row, Gongsun Yunliang took Lang Li away early and didn't come back until very late. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Every time he came back, Lang Li was smiling, but Gongsun Yunliang always had a gloomy face, and he didn't know what happened to them.
A few small thatched huts are missing these two people but they seem to be extraordinarily empty, only two people are left, they practice fighting on weekdays, and they have a very happy life, although the two are quite different in age, but there is no separation between them, fortunately they are two girls, because girls are always not too lonely together.
"Sister Ruyan, your kung fu has really improved a lot, and now you can tie with me!" Linglong said with a smile.
"It's not all the credit of Linglong!" I thought that this sycophant was shot very well, but I didn't know that Linglong's little face fell down with a clatter.
"How many times have I told you to call Master!"
Seeing her like smoke like that, I wanted to laugh, "You call me Sister Ruyan, I call you Master Linglong, don't you feel a little awkward?" ”
Linglong rolled her eyes and said: "What's the matter, you call yours, I call mine, don't delay each other, you can call it whatever you want, you must call me Master when I teach you martial arts, hum!" ”
"Good, good...... Yes Yes Yes ...... Master Linglong......! ”
"That's pretty much it."
The two practiced for a while, wiped the sweat on their heads, and sat on the stone bench in the courtyard to drink tea and rest their legs.
"Linglong, we've been together for so long, and we're very good friends, right?"
"Of course, although the two of us are rivals in love, it doesn't affect the relationship between the two of us, why did you suddenly remember to ask this?"
Ruyan thought for a while, "Actually, it's nothing, it's just curious, I've been coming to Baijian Villa with Brother Lang for so long, and I only saw you and Gongsun Zhuang, what about your mother?" ”
Linglong was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head, and her eyes became lonely.
Seeing her expression, Ruyan hurriedly waved her hand and said, "I'm sorry, Linglong, I'm just curious to ask, I don't mean anything else, you ...... You can't say it. ”
Linglong didn't speak for a long time, and kept rubbing her hands like smoke, not knowing what to do.
"My mother's name is Xia Yulian, she was gone when I was five years old, and the old man said she was dead, but she disappeared so suddenly, so I never believed that she was dead." Linglong whispered, her eyes full of loss.
"Suddenly...... Disappeared? What does that mean? Ruyan asked tentatively.
"When I was five years old, there were three of us living in Baijian Villa, and the old man's reputation at that time was resounding all over the world, because of his existence, Baijian Villa, which had only a few thatched houses, became one of the world's famous three hundred villages.
Later, I heard the old man say that in fact, at that time, he and my mother and I were basically in a state of seclusion, but I asked anything about the martial arts in the rivers and lakes, but the tree wanted to be quiet and the wind did not stop, and the old man's reputation was too loud, so people in Baijian Villa would come to the old man almost every few days to compete, hoping to defeat the old man and become famous in one fell swoop. ”
"And then?"
"We originally lived a peaceful life, but there were always people to disturb us, and then my mother suggested that we change places, go into the deep mountains and old forests, and disappear from the rivers and lakes, but the old man did not agree, he said that this is an old-timer to stay for him, and he swore to protect this place, no way, we had to continue to live here.
Maybe the old man is too powerful, many people know the difficulties and retreat, and the Hundred Swords Villa gradually calmed down, but the good times did not last long, one night in the late autumn of the next year, another group of people came to the Hundred Swords Villa to ask for a martial arts competition, and the old man couldn't persuade these people to go back in three excuses, so in desperation, he had to rely on them.
But as we fought, the old man and my mother both realized that something was wrong, these people were competing in the name of martial arts, but from the point of view, they just wanted the old man's life and my mother and me. ”
Linglong's voice was a little choked when she said this, and she gently patted her on the shoulder, hoping to make her feel better.
"Gongsun Zhuang is so powerful, how could he be defeated in the hands of those people." Ruyan asked softly.
"The old man has not been defeated at their hands, he has never been defeated since I can remember, but those people are different.
Their own strength is very powerful, but no one is the old man's opponent when they pull it out, but they can't stand them together, and they also use a strange formation, the old man later said that it was called the plum blossom formation.
More than a dozen people used the plum blossom array to trap the old man tightly in it, and even so, he didn't show his defeat, but he didn't have the energy to care about other things. ”
"That'...... And later? Ruyan was shocked in her heart, although she only listened to Linglong's narration, she could still feel the terrifying picture at that time.
"Those people trapped the old man together, but some people didn't move, they kept staring at my mother and me, and when they saw that so many people couldn't beat the old man, they were anxious, so they rushed at me.
In order to protect me, my mother tried her best to resist others, although her strength was far inferior to that of the old man, but she was also a master. Those people wanted to catch me and use me to blackmail the old man and his mother.
At this moment, as if falling from the sky, another group of people came, and they were together, and when they saw that they could not succeed for a long time, another group of people came.
The old man was really anxious, and killed the people who surrounded him with his dragon sword, but he himself was wounded, and he ran to my side as fast as he could, and held me in his arms.
The old man had lost his strength and was injured again, and those people ran to the bamboo forest with his mother, and the old man chased after him, and those people knew that if he killed my mother, the old man would definitely become violent, so they retreated, and the old man chased forward until he reached the outside of the Hundred Swords Villa.
There, there was another scuffle, and at last my mother could not bear it, and agreed to go with the men, on the condition that she would not hurt the old man and me again. Those people don't want to go on like this, even if they can kill the old man, they will have to die, it is better to take my mother away. In this way, she was taken away by those people and continues to this day. ”
After Linglong finished speaking, her face was full of tears, like smoke, you can imagine what kind of pain it is to lose her mother.
"So, your mother just disappeared?" Ruyan's eyes were also red, and he held Linglong's hand and asked softly.
"Hmm...... But since that day, the old man and I have been looking for her without stopping, seven years have passed, and there has been no news, the old man said that she was dead, but I always thought she was still alive. Although the old man said so, I knew that he also thought that his mother was still alive, and that his sword slave and his subordinates had not stopped looking for her all these years, but there was still no news. ”
"Who are those people, and if you find them, won't you find your mother?"
"I don't know who they are, and the old man doesn't know, they haven't been seen since they left with my mother, and there's no news at all. It stands to reason that it is not difficult to find someone in the rivers and lakes with the power of the old man, but for them, there is really no news at all. ”
Ruyan and Linglong sat on the stone bench and were silent for a long time, and everyone couldn't be calm in their hearts. Linglong seems to be carefree every day, but who would have thought that she also has so many things hidden in her heart, and she lost her mother at a young age, what kind of torture is this for a child, is there really no really happy person in this world? Maybe it's really as Gongsun Yunliang said, desire creates everything and will destroy everything!
"Then have you and the owner of Gongsun Zhuang ever thought about walking out of the Hundred Swords Villa and going out to find your mother?"
"Of course I thought about it, but the old man said that he couldn't go, he was going to wait for someone here, and now it seems that the person he was waiting for should be Lang Li."
Ruyan was shocked in her heart and said, "Could it be that the owner of Gongsun Zhuang already knew that Brother Lang would come to him?" ”
"Well, that's what he said, but I don't know why, and I don't know what agreement he had with Lang Li's father."
Ruyan saw that Linglong was a little depressed, so she wanted to say something else, so that she would stop thinking about those sad things. After thinking about it, she opened her mouth and asked, "Linglong, how did the owner of Gongsun Zhuang and your mother meet?" ”
I didn't expect this trick to really work, Linglong burst into tears and laughed: "Sister Ruyan, I didn't expect you to be so gossipy!" ”
"Of course, I want to know everything about Xiao Linglong, hehe......"
"I don't know much, but I heard my mother say something about it when I was a child, and I was too young to remember much.
I remember my mother saying that the old man was five or six years older than her, and that was when her only brother died, which was my uncle, who was very good friends with the old man, and who entrusted his mother to the old man on his deathbed, and they were together. ”
"It's as simple as that?" From ancient times to the present, the essence of women's gossip has never changed......
"At that time, my mother was not a few years older than me, and the old man took her all over the world, but it was always inconvenient for men and women to be together, so when my mother reached the marriageable age, the old man wanted to find her someone to marry, but no matter what the other party was, my mother just didn't agree, crying and making trouble, and tortured the old man to death and life, I had no choice but to continue to take my mother to travel all over the world."
"Later, what about later......" Ruyan's eyes lit up with a look of anticipation.
"Later, the old man and his mother returned to the Hundred Swords Villa, and the mother is not young, she should be older than your current age, and it is impossible for a lonely man and a widow to be together without anything, and then spontaneously, they are together.
Later, my mother secretly told me that everything was in her plan, and that the only person she liked was the old man from the beginning, and I didn't understand what a strange old man had to do with her, but every time I asked her, my mother laughed and said nothing. ”
