Chapter 4: The Guardian of the Imperial Tomb
The next morning Ah Man came to us with a small cloth bag on her back, and I didn't ask much or wonder how she handled those things, but as long as she came, I believed she had taken care of it. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
After breakfast, we packed our light luggage and left here. On the way, we received news from the Black Wind Order that they were already waiting for us in the distant mountain village, so we changed our route. Actually, I had planned to go back to Yuanshan Village, after all, Aman couldn't stay with me all the time, so I could only send it to Yuanshan Village for my senior brother to help take care of it.
It was noon when we got back to the village, and before we could reach the door, we saw a large white object rushing towards us, and I was accidentally crushed to the ground by it. Now the bun has grown to the size of an adult male Tibetan mastiff, probably sensing my breath, it is so big that it came out to meet me.
I patted my bun hard and kept licking my bun, and said with a smile: "Okay bun, get up, I'm about to be crushed to death by you!" "How did Senior Brother raise it in the past two years, raising it so strong!
The bun obediently moved away from me, and when I got up, he kept spinning around me, very excited.
After this episode, we quickly returned home and met our long-lost brother. After more than two years of recuperation, the senior brother's condition has improved a lot, although he looks old in appearance, he is radiant and has a very good complexion.
I couldn't help but stepped forward and hugged him, my voice was already a little choked: "Senior brother, I'm back!" ”
Senior brother patted me on the shoulder with satisfaction, and also choked up a little: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back!" ”
I let go of my senior brother, wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes, pulled Ah Man to the side and said to my senior brother: "Senior brother, this is the apprentice I accepted, named Ah Man!" Then he turned to Aman and said, "Aman, this is your uncle!" ”
Ah Man called out to the senior uncle very obediently, and the senior brother nodded, looked at Ah Man with a smile on his face, and sighed: "Our family Xiaoxiao has really grown up, and even has an apprentice!" After speaking, he seemed to notice Jue Wuying standing on the side, and asked, "Xiaoxiao, who is this?" ”
"Oh, I almost forgot to introduce it. Senior brother, this is the elder of the Jue family in the Jiuli Realm, Jue Wuying, and she and Brother Bai Feng also know each other. By the way, where did Big Brother Bai Feng go? Didn't you say here? "Speaking of Black Wind, I just remembered that he was waiting for us here, but I haven't seen him after being in the door for so long.
"He's bored, he said he was going to the mountains for a walk, so I asked him to help me catch snakes!"
Jue Wuying and I glanced at each other before saying, "Then Sister Wuying and I will take the bun to the mountain to find him, and Ah Man will leave it to you to take care of Senior Brother." ”
"Don't worry, I'll go clean up the two rooms in a while."
The speed of the bun was very fast, and its senses were very sensitive, so he quickly found the Black Wind Order, who was sitting on a rock by the side of the stream, not knowing what he was doing.
He must have sensed our breath, turned his head and smiled and said, "You're here!" ”
Jue Wuying and I nodded at him together, and then each found a clean rock to sit on, and Baozi found a comfortable position to lie down next to me.
"Say, you're in such a hurry to let us come over, have you found it?" Jue Wuying asked first.
Hei Feng Ling continued to move in his hand, and fastened the sack tightly before replying: "It's true, the Imperial Tomb Guardian has found it, but ......" He looked at me as he spoke: "It's just that this matter seems to be difficult for us to do, and we still need to go to Xiaoxiao in person." ”
I'm very puzzled, why do I have to go to get the key from the guardian of the Imperial Tomb, can't the people of their Jiuli Realm get it?
Seeing the puzzlement in my eyes, Hei Feng Ling continued: "That person's identity is a little special, you also know it!" ”
"I know?" This puzzled me even more.
"That's right! You know, that's why we decided that it would be better for you to come forward, at least we wouldn't have to use force. ”
I seemed to have guessed somewhat, but I was still not sure: "Who is it?" ”
"That's where you lived in Beijing, Qin Zhengguo."
"Grandpa Qin!"
At night I lay in bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep. We must get the key to the Emperor's Tomb, and the Black Wind Order is right, if their Jiuli clan comes forward, Grandpa Qin will definitely not be willing to lend us the key, and then maybe he will have to use force. But it was different when I went, after all, I was a descendant of the Zhan clan, and I had been with him for a long time, and everyone I knew knew how much he doted on me, even more than his own grandson.
It's just that I chose to fake my death after considering all kinds of factors, and now in their eyes, I am a dead person, and if I appear in front of them again, I don't know how to explain and face it. It's just that no matter how embarrassing or embarrassing it is, I can only bite the bullet, after all, knowing his special identity, he will also know my identity, in such an identity, our meeting should not be so difficult to face, presumably if he knew the reason for the whole thing, he would also understand my approach.
The next day, we didn't delay, and after explaining everything to my brother, we set off for Beijing. This time, I also brought the bun with me, as a wolf warrior, it also has its mission.
It was already evening when we arrived in Beijing, and we rushed to Grandpa Qin's house non-stop. The old man didn't sleep well and slept late at night, so the light in the living room was still on at this time, and the two elders of the Qin family should still be watching TV in the living room.
I stood in front of the door and hesitated for a long time before knocking.
"Who?" It was Grandma Qin who came to open the door. The moment she opened the door and saw me, the whole person seemed to have lost her soul, and then she reacted, stepped forward and took my hand, her eyes were already full of tears: "Smile! Laugh and laugh! Is it really a smile? I'm not dreaming? Laughing back? ”
I withdrew my hand from her, and then threw myself into her arms: "Grandma Qin, I'm smiling!" I am back! ”
"My smile! It turns out that you are not dead! It's good to be back! It's good to be back! ”
At this time, Grandpa Qin was already standing at the door, and after seeing us surprised for a while, he calmed down, and walked back without saying a word and sat down on the sofa again, probably having guessed our identity.
When the two old men returned to the room and sat down on the sofa, I knelt in front of them: "Grandpa Qin, Grandma Qin, it's not good to laugh, let you worry and feel sorry for me!" ”
Grandma Qin hurriedly got up and helped me up: "What are you talking about this kid, just come back!" ”
Although I was dragged, I didn't dare to get up, and turned my head to look at Grandpa Qin, who had been sitting silently, if he didn't forgive me, I couldn't get up. The incident of faking death at the beginning was indeed that I was sorry for the two elders, and they were sad and sad for a while.
"It's good to be back!" Seeing me looking at him, Grandpa Qin finally spoke: "Get up and sit down!" ”
"Old woman, you go back to the room first, Xiaoxiao is visiting with two friends today, I should have something to tell me." Grandpa Qin said to Grandma Qin.
Grandma Qin kept holding my hand and refused to let go, and while getting up, she instructed: "Xiaoxiao came back with great difficulty, don't embarrass her too much!" ”
"Got it, let's go!"
Grandma Qin reluctantly left.
Grandpa Qin looked at me for a long time before he sighed and said, "I should have guessed a long time ago, it turns out that you are really a descendant of the Zhan clan." ”
"Grandpa Qin!"
"You don't have to say anything, I know. After all, I also hid my identity from you, and you should hide it from me. ”
"Grandpa Qin is not like this, I just don't know how to tell you, and I don't want to put you in danger because of me, that's why I thought of fake death in the first place." I explained.
"Xiaoxiao, since you already know my identity, you should understand that I am also a member of the Yanhuang Organization, since we think you are dead, why do you want to come back now!" There is too much helplessness in Grandpa Qin's words, I understand it, but I can't help it.
I glanced at Heifeng Ling and Jue Wuying, and then said, "Grandpa Qin, I came back this time to borrow the key to the Imperial Tomb that your family has guarded for generations, and we need the Xuanyuan Sword!" ”
"Xuanyuan Sword? What is the use of the Xuanyuan Sword? ”
So I explained all the plans to him, and Grandpa Qin was silent for a long time after hearing this, as if thinking about the authenticity of all this, and finally spoke: "It turns out that everything is like this, so I think these two friends should be from the Jiuli Realm!" ”
"Yes!" I thought for a moment and continued: "Grandpa Qin, I know that you may not believe all this, and you may also be very embarrassed, but we really need the Xuanyuan Sword. ”
Grandpa Qin looked at me and said, "You also know that the Yanhuang Organization has been chasing and killing your Zhan family, and the relationship with the Jiuli Realm is not friendly, although its ability has become weaker and weaker after so many years, its strength still cannot be underestimated. It's not that I don't believe you, smile, as long as you say it, grandpa believes it, as long as you want to do it, grandpa will help you, but a few years ago I passed the location to Nanfei, and now the key is in his hand, I'm afraid you have to see him to get it. Grandpa Qin saw that my expression was a little embarrassed, and continued: "Xiaoxiao, after knowing your identity, grandpa somewhat understands why you always avoid flying south, but you should also understand his heart for you, now you can give him another chance?" ”
In the face of the old man's words, what else could I do, I could only nod. In a trance, I remembered what Yuebei said to me in the dark night: "In fact, fate is such a thing, ever-changing, who can say it clearly?" ”
Oh, yes! Fate is really ever-changing, I can't think of it, and I can't escape it. Whether it's good or bad, we're going to meet again after all!
