XLII. Why don't you ask me?
"Don't use it!"
"Change!"
From beginning to end, Zhu Chongba's eyes did not appear to be any loose. At this moment, there is a hint of supplication in the words.
"It's so cruel!"
Zhu Wu looked at the cold blade, this was a congratulatory gift from Ma Xiuying.
No matter how ruthless Zhu Wu is, he can't do it, and he used someone's wife's knife to kill someone's husband.
Besides, there is no hatred between them. It is good to gather and disperse, and to enter the soil for peace.
"Here comes the knife!"
Throwing the knife, Zhu Wu shouted.
The sound of fluttering footsteps outside sounded, and Zhu Yu came in with a pale face, kneeling at the door, the short sword at his waist held high.
Then kneeling, slowly moving forward with his knees, close to Zhu Wu's side.
Zhu Wu kept looking at Zhu Chongba, trying to catch a trace of other emotions in his eyes.
However, the other party's eyes were closed, as if he was asleep, but the chest rose and fell a little frequently.
Granary!
The dagger slashed, the brass sheath, and the dragon groaned in the light.
"From today on, there is no such person as Zhu Chongba in this world."
"From today on, there will never be a trace of this cloth hero in history."
"And me, Zhu Wu."
"The troubled times are scattered, starting from the Huaixi countryside, from beggars to emperors, from homeless people to heroes. My name will be sung and sung by future generations. You're a passerby, I'm a legend! โ
A smile popped up on Zhu Wu's face.
Zhu Chongba's complexion was still as usual.
Zhu Wu couldn't help but think of the sentence that had been suppressed in his heart from the beginning.
"He can take his place, he should take his place!"
Zhu Wu was smiling like a winner, but the water in his eyes was swirling.
"Despicable reasons can only convince oneself."
"You want to be in power, for status, for an uncertain sense of danger."
"Kill this hero!"
"You're a villain!"
"You will always have nightmares for the rest of your life!"
Whew, Zhu Wu took a deep breath.
Leaned over slowly, his left hand wrapped around Zhu Chongba's neck, the tip of his right hand was aimed at his heart, and his mouth was close to his ear.
"Brother, I'll send you on your way, don't blame me!"
Poof, with a strong right hand, the sharp dagger softly pierced through the shirt, but met resistance, and he was wearing chain mail close to his body.
Zhu Wu pressed against the window lattice, pasted for marriage, festive window flowers, and worked harder.
Click, in the friction sound of metal cracking, Zhu Chongba suddenly opened his eyes.
In his eyes, there was finally a trace of fear, but it was fleeting.
His voice was hoarse, low, and desperate, "Little Five, be kind to my brother!" โ
Zhu Wu couldn't control his tears and nodded. But the dagger stopped, and he felt his hand tremble a little.
Poof, the tip of the sword cut through the surface muscles of the chest, and the red blood was so shocking.
Take a deep breath again, just push hard, and it's all over.
"Little Five!" Zhu Chongba shouted hoarsely again, with a faint smile on his face, "Be kind to our wife and children." โ
"Brother! Zhu Wu put it next to his ear, "Sister Ma Xiuying is in Nanjing, she gave birth, she is a boy, named Zhu Biao!" โ
A glimmer of brilliance bloomed in Zhu Chongba's originally desperate eyes, and he grinned and laughed with difficulty.
Zhu Wu also smiled, "I will treat him as my own, if I win the world in the future, I will give him a big fief!" โ
As he spoke, tears fell on his lips, "Brother, that's all it takes, let's go on the road!" โ
Zhu Chongba nodded with difficulty.
Zhu Wu adjusted the position of the short sword.
This sword is so heavy.
Poof, the tip of the sword plunged into the flesh.
Suddenly, Zhu Chongba's eyes widened again.
With unwilling eyes, he shouted bitterly, "Daughter-in-law! Son! โ
Outside the door, there was a hysterical, heart-rending cry at the same time.
"Little Five!"
ยทยทยทยทยทยท
Guo Xing stood at the door, not daring to look at Zhu Wu's gaze.
The moment Ma Xiuying came in from the door, she happened to see that Zhu Wu's sword was about to be inserted into Zhu Chongba's chest.
She fell limply against the wall, then crawled forward with one hand in her arms and the other in her arms.
Zhu Chongba finally burst into tears.
The moment he saw his wife and children, like a resisting tiger, he began to struggle in the chair.
A drop of blood, dripping on the ground on the tip of the dagger, turned a red point, small but shocking.
"Sister Xiuying, you shouldn't come!" Zhu Wu quietly pinned the short sword behind his back.
Ma Xiuying continued to crawl, choking, "I'm here to see my husband!" โ
These words pierced Zhu Wu's heart like a knife.
In an instant, he burst into flames, "Do you know what he did?" โ
"Little Five!" Zhu Chongba shook his head desperately.
"I don't want to know!" Ma Xiuying sneered, "I only know that he is my baby's father, and he is the closest person to me in this world!" โ
She climbed up, slowly stood up, and put the child in front of Zhu Chongba.
"Ahh Yikes! "The baby dances with his hands.
Zhu Chongba's tears are like water bursting the embankment, but the smile on his face is so bright and happy.
"Sister, our son is like you!"
"Nonsense, how old is it, how can you see it?"
"Really, you see, there is a smile in the eyes, we are kind!"
"In this world, a kind-hearted person will not end well, I hope he will be ruthless in the future!"
The woman holds the child and laughs.
The man looked at the child and smiled.
Under the candlelight, it was like a family gathering, and Zhu Wu was the only outsider. But he didn't bother, but sat down and watched slowly.
"Heavy eight, the name will take the land according to you, Zhu Biao. What about nicknames? What's the nickname? Ma Xiuying asked with tears in the corners of her eyes and a smile.
"Called? Call? Zhu Chongba tilted his head and thought, his eyes were shining, "Call it a dog!" We called this name when we were young, and our mother said, a cheap name is easy to feed! โ
"Dog, dog!" Ma Xiuying smiled and played with the baby in swaddling clothes.
The baby doesn't cry or make a fuss, and its chubby little hands are stretched.
"Look, he's going to touch our beard!" Zhu Chongba laughed and bowed his head with difficulty, "Come, touch my father's beard, our old Zhu family, the beard is fast!" โ
"Dad, don't you leave something for your son?" Ma Xiuying asked.
Zhu Chongba's gaze was still falling on the child, and he said softly, "Sister, cut off a lock of our beard and sew a purse!" If we have a spirit, we will protect him! โ
Ma Xiuying put it still on Zhu Chongba's knees and picked up Zhu Wudi's long knife.
Wow, the sharp blade slashed across Zhu Chongba's cheek, and a large thick beard was cut off.
Then, with her back to Zhu Wu, she suddenly put the knife on her neck.
"Sister!" Zhu Wu and Guo Xing shouted at the same time.
Three feet of green silk slipped from the shoulder.
Ma Xiuying was still smiling on his face, his hair and Zhu Chongba's beard were entangled, and they were solemnly placed on the table beside Zhu Wu.
"Little Wu, bother your younger siblings to sew a purse, right?"
"...... this?"
Zhu Wu was puzzled.
But Zhu Chongba's eyes smiled.
Then, Ma Xiuying kissed the child affectionately on the cheek. put the child on the table next to Zhu Wu, and in Zhu Wu's surprised gaze, he picked up the knife.
Cut fingers, blood dripping.
Slowly, stroke by stroke, neatly and attentively, she wrote a few lines of big characters on the swaddling clothes.
Zhu Biao, dog egg.
Husband, Zhu Chongba.
Mother, Ma Xiuying.
His ancestral home is Zhongli Lonely Village, Haozhou, Huaixi.
After writing, I smiled sadly.
Holding the knife, he sat next to Zhu Chongba.
"You're going to die with him?" Zhu Wu understood and stared at her.
"Yes, I'll go with Jupachi." Ma Xiuying's hand held Zhu Chongba's hand, "Little Wu, my son, I'll leave it to you, treat him well!" โ
"I've seen everything that should be seen, Xiao Wu, let's do it, we have no regrets!" Zhu Chongba did not close his eyes, but looked at his wife.
A breath of air exploded in Zhu Wu's chest.
His face almost distorted, "You two don't come to retreat for this, I don't eat this." You think I'm going to be soft-hearted? Zhu Chongba is dead today, no one can save him, he must die! โ
"I know!" Ma Xiuying smiled, put the long knife upside down, the tip of the knife aimed at her heart, and never looked at Zhu Wu again.
"It's useless, I don't eat this set!" Zhu Wu smiled cruelly and clenched his short sword, "It turns out that the kind-hearted Xiao Wu is already dead, and he has been dead since the day I crawled out of the Haozhou tunnel." โ
"Then the day you surround your father, you should do it!" Ma Xiuying also roared, "Dad said, Xiao Wu, you are not in the right place!" If you had killed all these people that day, why now! โ
"Ahahahaha!" Zhu Wu laughed.
Then, staring at Ma Xiuying's side face, "Sister, since you are here, why don't you beg me?" โ
"I've begged you twice, is it useful?" Tears slid down Ma Xiuying's cheeks.
"I begged you, you don't care!"
