Chapter Forty-Eight: Why Drift Away
To the west of the inn is a large bustling downtown area. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
It was dusk, and the people were full of wine and food, and they all came out in groups to buy New Year's goods.
Hua Jiang and the two hugged Huan'er and shuttled through the flow of people, but they couldn't see Yun Qiaoqiao's shadow.
Yun Yi pulled her out of the crowd and stood at the fork in the street corner looking anxiously.
There are two roads, one leading to the suburbs and the other leading to the market, which one to take......
Hua Jiang paid attention to the people in Yue Wangfu, and suddenly felt a palpitation in her heart, as if she had been choked to death, which made her a little breathless.
She grabbed Yun Yi's arm, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother, will something happen to my little aunt......"
"No," Yun Yi's lips turned white and his gaze wandered, "Chu Ye's brute won't hurt his aunt, he won't ......"
"But I suddenly felt so uncomfortable......"
"Wow! Wow! Woo ......" The child in her arms cried uneasily, "I want my mother to ......"
Hua Jiang retracted his arm sadly, afraid that the child who was kicking his hands and feet would fall.
"The Guards are ordered to take people! Irrelevant people wait for speed and avoid it! The Guards were ordered to take people, and no one else was to avoid them as quickly as possible! ā
Hundreds of Guards galloped from the streets to the east, their heavy lock-lettered armor making a panickling sound in the bumps.
Yun Yi watched them run towards the suburbs without stopping, and immediately said, "Go, follow them!" ā
The two of them were about to leave, but they saw the messenger Gu in their hands buzzing and trembling.
Inside the door of the rouge shop on the corner of the street, a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance beckoned to them, holding a black and white messenger Gu in his hand.
It was the Yun Clan's secret agent, and Hua Jiang's heart sank slightly.
ā¦ā¦
"Young Master Yunxiao has sent news," the spy knelt on the ground respectfully, "Please hand over the little young master to your subordinates, hurry back to Fuyang City, and join the Martial Arts Alliance!" ā
Hua Jiang's eyes widened, "What are you kidding?!" My little aunt hasn't been rescued yet......"
The spy was silent for a moment, and then spoke flatly, "Young Master Yunxiao asked me to tell the two of you that the second young lady's life Gu in the ancestral hall has died. All the secret agents of the Yun clan have been sent to the bottom of Tianheng Mountain, and they are searching for the body of the second lady with all their might. ā
When the bang.
The saber in Yun Yi's hand fell, and the young man froze there, his face getting whiter and paler.
Hua Jiang stood in place at a loss and asked softly, "What did you say...... Is it? ā
The agent bowed his head and retold it again respectfully.
Huan'er was still crying, but she was probably tired of crying, and she was choking a little. One by one, the hearts of those who listened to it hurt.
"You talk nonsense!" Hua Jiang suddenly screamed, trembling uncontrollably, "You dare to talk nonsense!" This can't be true...... You say, where did you come from undercover?! ā
Seeing that Hua Jiang was about to hurt someone when he pulled out his sword, Yun Yi hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her, and shouted, "Ah Jiang! ā
Hua Jiang was stunned by the drink, and the whole person was stunned for a long time without moving.
The secret agent waited for a long time, and suddenly said: "Back to the young master, young master Fang Cai Yunxiao has sent news again, the second miss should sink into the West Sea under Tianheng Mountain, and the body is nowhere to be found." The young master ordered the two to hand over the little young master to his subordinates, and quickly go to Fuyang City, don't stay here! ā
The child who had just fallen asleep was awakened by this sound, and began to cry out loud at the top of his throat. He had no eyeballs, no tears, and blood slowly leaked from his eye sockets.
One by one, the whole face was dyed blood-red.
Hua Jiang shook his hands, wiped the blood stains on the child, and said in a dumb voice: "Don't cry, your mother won't die!" Who made you cry ......"
Yun Yi turned his face away and quietly wiped his eyes.
ā¦ā¦
In the past, he joked about the afterlife, but now he is in front of him.
At the bottom of Tianheng Mountain, Hua Jiang gently inserted the carved tablet in front of the grave.
The two of them knelt down in their filial robes, held three incense sticks in their hands, and kowtowed respectfully three times.
"This is the first time I've worn a filial piety robe," Hua Jiang stared at the pitch-black tablet, his voice surprisingly calm, "When my father and mother died, the head of the family strictly forbade all sacrifices. ā
And today's filial piety robe will be taken off tomorrow.
Because Yun Qiaoqiao has long been expelled from the Yun clan, all the clansmen are not allowed to pay tribute.
Hua Jiang lowered his head, "I know that grandpa is affectionate, grandma was killed, my father and mother deserve to die, I admit it." But why, he was so cruel to his daughter! Exhausted martial arts and expelled the Yun clan...... Even before he died, he didn't come to save ......."
The people of the Yun clan have always valued blood, and only allow intermarriage within the clan, and all women who marry far away from other countries are regarded as betraying the clan. According to the clan training, the martial arts were abolished, the clan name was removed, and he had nothing to do with the Yun family for the rest of his life.
"That's his child, in front of the so-called clan discipline, is it worthless like that......"
The voice was empty, with a helpless coolness.
"My little aunt was often instructed by the head of the family to go out for free medical treatment, and once she did not come back for more than a month. The other children in the family family thought of ways to tease me, throwing vegetable leaves at me, tearing up my books, and sometimes even pulling my hair......"
Yun Yi stared at her quietly, and her phoenix eyes were full of unbearability.
"At one point, there was finally someone who didn't tease me. He shoved me an apple and smiled softly at me. He said that his name was Yunting. ā
"The apples were so sweet that tears came out when I ate them, and I thought I had my first friend."
Because she lowered her head, her expression was not clear, "When I walked out after eating, my stomach began to hurt." When I got to the front yard, I vomited blood. At that time, I was rolling on the ground in pain, and my grandfather passed by me...... Didn't look at me. ā
Not a single look, even disdain and disgust, but no.
No one knew that at that time, I died after thinking too much......
"Later, it was Zhang's mother, who was cleaning the courtyard, who found me. She carried me back to the house and called Lang Zhong for me. After Lang Zhong fed me the antidote again, he said, "
Hua Jiang's voice trembled, "He said, what a poor person, you are so easily fooled, is it because few people treat you well......"
"I told him you were wrong, and that you should be taught a lesson. It's that very few people are good to me, so I cherish the kindness of others. I don't think so, what's wrong with it......"
At least I don't just mess with other people's minds.
Because no one understands better than those of us who have lost everything what it means to cherish.
"My little aunt has a very strong temperament, but her heart is too soft. I should have thought she would do it...... It's all my fault! When she was about to leave, I couldn't stop her......"
Yun Yi was so distressed that he hugged her into his arms, "Silly child, how could you have expected this situation?" ā
Two young men in filial piety robes snuggled up to each other, like two injured eagles, warming each other.
