Chapter 249: Their Choice
At night, the forest is already dark, and the sound of insects echoes through the spacious space, creating a quiet atmosphere.
However, for the adventurer in the middle of it, there is clearly no mood to appreciate these natural beauties at the moment.
"Ahem, hehe......"
Moving back, Yue Fei leaned against an ancient tree nearby, and a slight wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Glancing up at the starry dome, Yue Fei spoke despite a hint of unwillingness.
"Looks like you're right."
Feeling the slightest cool breeze blowing on his body, Yue Fei closed his eyes and said in a low tone: "You go, leave me alone."
"You...... What did you say? The girl frowned slightly, with a complicated look in her eyes, "You let me go?" Are you going to die here alone? ”
"Stop talking nonsense, do you think two people can get out?" Yue Fei smiled bitterly: "Hurry up, if you have time, you can still call someone to save me, otherwise both of us will have to die here today!"
The girl didn't say anything, just sat opposite Yue Fei, looked at him lightly, and didn't say anything.
"You don't understand me, do you?"
Yue Fei saw that the girl was motionless, and his heart suddenly became angry, regardless of whether his consciousness was clear or not, he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Listen, how can I, Yue Fei, say that it is the Marshal of the Great Song Dynasty, I now order you, take these two military books on my body, go out and hand them to General Liu Qi, this is an order!"
Unexpectedly, the girl covered her mouth with her hand and laughed slightly.
"What are you laughing at, didn't you hear me?" Yue Fei struggled to stand up, but his increasingly blurred consciousness made him already lose his center of gravity, and his body staggered a little.
"I said Generalissimo Yue, are you mistaken?" The girl shook her head slightly and smiled: "I'm not a soldier under you, you are the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and you can't order me."
"You ......"
Gritting his teeth, Yue Fei felt so angry for the first time.
Clenching his fists, he stepped forward with his heart and walked over.
"What, angry?" The girl was still smiling.
Suddenly, a strong feeling of dizziness came, the darkness in front of him had already blinded all consciousness, Yue Fei could no longer support it, and his body fell into the lake behind him.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?"
The girl's eyes were shocked, but her spirit was already tense, and she stood up suddenly.
At the end of the line of sight, Yue Fei's figure did not appear!
Her intuition told her that the current situation was not optimistic!
Gritting her teeth, she couldn't care much about it, trotted all the way, jumped into the water, and dragged Yue Fei to the shore with all her might.
"You're so heavy." Yue Fei, who was coughing heavily, leaned against a nearby tree, and the girl sighed slightly.
Wait, something isn't right!
The girl's eyes were attracted by the water bladder on Yue Fei's waist, the water bladder was still bulging just now, and now, it has long been empty!
"Hey, wake up, you ...... You ......"
Constantly shaking Yue Fei's body, the consternation in the girl's eyes flashed.
"Do you ...... Do you put ......?"
The girl's voice was almost staccato and her tone was infarcted: "Did you give me all the water and food?" Why are you doing this, why? ”
"Hmm......"
Feeling that his body was being pushed hard, Yue Fei was vague, and he only felt that he had vaguely regained consciousness.
After seeing the girl in front of him clearly, Yue Fei just said helplessly, "What are you still doing here."
"I ask you, where is your water?" The girl bit her lip and looked at Yue Fei with tears in her eyes.
Yue Fei didn't say anything, just put his right hand on his knee, leaned against the tree silently, raised his head, and looked at the starry sky in the distance.
"Could it be that you haven't drunk a drop of water for the past five days, why are you, why are you doing this!"
How could the girl hit him, Yue Fei didn't say a word, just looked up at the starry sky so calmly.
The night sky is full of stars, and a golden moon hangs in the center, together with the dotted nebula, outlining this beautiful starry sky.
This beautiful scenery is enough to make anyone intoxicated, Yue Fei looked at the sky, and seemed to recall a lot of past events.
The girl gritted her teeth and asked, "You are a world-famous general, is it worth doing this for a woman who doesn't even know her own background?"
"Because, you are very much like my sister."
After being silent for a long time, Yue Fei just spoke.
"You ......" The girl stopped her hand, her eyes were stunned, and her body involuntarily fell to the ground.
"What's wrong with the woman? Can't a woman live??" Yue Fei smiled bitterly: "I don't mean anything else, I just don't want to see even any of the same tragedy happen again in front of my eyes."
The girl's lips opened slightly, her eyes looking at Yue Fei were complicated and messy, and the corners of her mouth trembled slightly.
"Hmm...... Ah......h
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" The girl shouted and rushed up to help Yue Fei.
However, in the eyes of this teenager, there was only a trace of despair and pain.
Thirteen years ago, Xiangzhou Tangyin, Leyun Village.
Dark clouds were thick, thunder and lightning flashed in the sky, and a torrential rain soaked the earth, and the whole village was almost a swamp.
On the muddy ground, the little boy fell into a puddle, but his knife-like eyes still did not leave the group in front of him.
"Boy, try to stare at again?" An obese boy looked at the little boy struggling in the puddle and laughed loudly: "Since your father has lost his gambling debts, and the family's field can't be worth it, what do you want to do except give this girl to me as a little lady in the future?"
And a few nearby family members are controlling a little girl with tears on her face.
"That's it, what Xiang'er said is right, dare to go against our Zhang family, you are tired of living!"
A bloated middle-aged woman pointed to the room in front of her and scolded: "The surname Yue, let your son come out to be a shield, you are also a man!" The old lady has three days for your family to make a decision, otherwise we will wipe out your whole family today! ”
As soon as she said this, dozens of heavily armed and vicious family members nearby had already wound their knives and arrows and aimed them at the house.
And the little girl on the side was also struggling and crying: "Brother, brother, save me, wow, wow, wow......"
"Hehe, what are you talking about for three days."
"What did you say?" The middle-aged woman's eyes were gloomy.
"I, Yue Fei, am going to drive you away today!" The little boy shouted and rushed out at them again.
"Poof!"
The blood light flickered, Yue Fei's consciousness was blurred in front of his eyes, and the whole person had already flown out.
"Brother, save me, save me." The little girl cried incessantly.
"Fei'er, don't fight them!"
The middle-aged man rushed over from nowhere, and after catching Yue Fei who flew over, he put him on the ground, sighed heavily and said, "You listen to me, your sister is her...... Just do what the Zhang family wants. ”
"Dad, what did you say?!" Xiao Yue Fei almost couldn't believe his ears, and asked with wide eyes.
"Hahaha, Yue Feng, you are also a backbone, I will spare your life today!" The middle-aged woman sneered, waved her hand, and said, "Take that girl away!"
The little fat boy followed the middle-aged woman and the dozens of family members, and left with a swaggering laugh amid the cry of the little girl, leaving Yue Fei in place, as if his soul had been sucked away.
"Brother, brother, Xiaoyu don't leave my brother, brother save me......"
The crying became farther and farther away, but Yue Fei was no longer conscious, and the whole person sat on the ground.
"The people of Zhang Bangchang's Shangshu family are not something that we ordinary people can afford to provoke......" Yue Feng shook his head and walked into the house with his hands in his hands.
"You...... You coward! ”
"What did you say?" Yue Yun turned around and looked at the thin little boy in front of him with a gloomy expression.
"Fei'er, don't talk back to your father, quickly kneel down and kowtow to admit your mistake!" Mrs. Yue panicked, and hurriedly ran over to press Yue to the ground.
"I said you're a coward, a waste that your own daughter can't protect!" Yue Fei scolded with tears in his eyes: "From today onwards, I don't recognize you as a father!"
After speaking, Yue Fei turned around and ran away with tears in his eyes, and disappeared from everyone's sight in a moment.
"Fei'er!" Mrs. Yue's eyes were dark, and she almost fainted, "Husband, the direction of Fei'er is the Zhang family, you go and chase Fei'er back!" ”
"Hmph, this unfilial son is going to die, let him fend for himself!" Yue Feng sneered, walked into the room and slammed the door shut.
"Hey, it's a pity, after this Yue family used to be a famous founding general, how did it fall to this point now."
"That's right, this Yue Feng is also over fifty years old, it seems that the Yue family is going to die, how can this be done, it is true that the ancestors will not be able to rest under the nine springs."
"But this Yue Feng was also a fierce general of the Western Army in the early days, why did he change his temperament after he was seriously injured and went home to retire, and he only cared about recreation and happiness?"
"The ghost knows, anyway, the people who offend the Zhang family are all suspicious, but this Yue Feng ...... This time I can't figure it out, this is not his usual style. ”
The nearby onlookers shook their heads, sighed and dispersed.
The next day, early in the morning.
"Hey, in last night's bloody battle, why did the Zhang family's more than 100 people die in their family?"
"Yes, Yue Feng's son is gone, it can't be that the Zhang family offended some peerless master, and even that kid was wiped out there, right?"
"Impossible, as far as I know, the Yue family all disappeared overnight last night."
"It is said that last night, when the little hairy boy broke into Zhang's house, someone saw a man in black haunting the neighborhood."
"Okay, folks, don't guess, hurry up and report to the official, this is a big case!"
The villagers crowded in front of the ruins of the Zhang family's mansion, looking at everything in front of them, barely believing their eyes.
Half a day passed, and only a few brave people stepped forward to observe the corpses.
"This ...... It's highly toxic...... Seven...... The qi is exquisite! ”
Two or three young men screamed, turned around and fell to the ground without running two steps, and the bones in their hands also hit the ground, completely turning into powder.
For a while, the nearby villagers were stunned at first, and then, I don't know who shouted.
"It's the killer "Ghost Hidden King" who has come to take revenge, hurry up and run! ”
Hearing the name, I don't know why, everyone howled and scattered like a pig as if they had seen a ghost.
Three days later, Shaanxi, Xiaoyun Mountain.
"Hehe, brother, your chess skills have grown a lot." The one who spoke was an old man with a slightly white beard who looked to be in his sixties.
"Hehe, Dao Quan doesn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Brother Zhou." A middle-aged man in his forties put down the chess pieces in his hand and said with a smile: "By the way, I don't know if Brother Zhou's "Cloud Tea" has not been tasted for ten years, but what has changed?" ”
"Cloud tea?" The old man smiled: "The last time the six of us met, it was still in Erxian Mountain, right?"
"yes." An Daoquan nodded, sighed softly, and looked at the clouds in the distance, as if he was remembering something.
"By the way, Brother Daoquan, you came to find the old man, shouldn't you just drink tea and play chess?" The old man stroked his beard, and there seemed to be a smile in his eyes.
"Sure enough...... I can't hide anything from Brother Zhou. An Daoquan shook his head and smiled, but his tone suddenly became serious: "My visit this time is a matter related to the life and death of the six of us!"
"It's Cheng Wanli, right?"
The old man poured two pots of tea for himself and An Daoquan, and his expression gradually became solemn.
"Brother Zhou, you are really clever." An Daoquan was silent for a moment, sighed heavily, and said with a sigh: "I came this time, I have to discuss with you to ...... Cheng Wan."
"Bang bang bang!"
A heavy and powerful knock on the door interrupted the two of them in an instant, and the old man frowned and shouted, "I have something important to do today, tell the visitor that he will come back to visit him in the future."
An Daoquan said again: "Then, continue to talk, this Cheng Wanli, there are not a few suspicious places!"
"Why?" The old man said in a low tone.
He ......" An Daoquan was about to speak, but was interrupted by the violent knock on the door again.
"Repeat my words again, and after half an hour, he will give an eviction order if he doesn't leave!" The old man gave the order again.
"Alright, let's move on." The old man said lightly.
"According to my investigation, his daughter is not biological but of unknown origin, but she wants to marry Lao Dong's son, which is originally a suspicion." An Daoquan's eyes became more and more gloomy: "His daughter is full of mysteries, let's not talk about this first, what I want to talk about today is Gao Yu!"
"Gao Yu?"
The old man's tone sank: "Could it be that Cheng Wanli has betrayed the brotherhood of the three of you and become a lackey of Gao Yu?"
"Bang bang bang!"
This time, there was a violent knock on the door, no, it should be said to be a slamming door.
The rough voice lasted for at least one stick of incense, and An Daoquan and the old man were both sitting upright, and neither of them moved.
Still, the voice didn't stop.
"This kid, if it weren't for Old Zhou's order not to kill people, and seeing that he was covered in blood, I would really be a killer." A young man stood with his hands in his hands and sneered.
"Just blow it, when did you kid kill someone, you didn't even dare to kill a chicken!"
"Boy, you're not convinced, are you?"
While the two were arguing, the little boy in front of the gate suddenly collapsed.
"Hey, Sun Li, go and see if he's dead."
"Hey, aren't you Luan Tingyu very majestic? Why do you want someone else to come out, you are worthy of being a person who doesn't even dare to kill chickens, it's really a shame for Zhou Lao's nominal disciple! ”
"Say it again, I don't dare to kill chickens!"
Just as the two of them were tearing at their clothes and scolding, the mahogany door slammed open.
The old man's gaze stayed on the little boy on the ground at the door.
This man was only about six or seven years old, and his whole body was covered in blood, and he didn't know if he was dead or alive at the moment.
"Sun Li, what kind of person is he!" The old man shouted.
"Oh, Master, he sounds like he's from Tangyin, Henan." Sun Ligang let go of his hand and looked at the old man, but was punched by Luan Tingyu, and immediately scolded: "What else will you kid do besides sneak attack, look at how Lao Tzu teaches you how to be a person today!"
Did this kid rush to Shaanxi from Henan alone? The old man glanced at it lightly, and then looked at the two teenagers who were in a ball not far away, and was about to turn around and say something, but found that his leg seemed to have been grabbed by someone.
Looking down, the little boy was gritting his teeth, tears covering his entire face, and his blood-red eyes were filled with nothing but hatred.
"You...... You are the iron arm Zhou Tong, Zhou ...... Zhou Daxia, right? ”
Looking at Zhou Tong's face, he forced himself to speak.
"Zhou ...... Master Zhou, I ...... I want to avenge my sister...... Cough...... Ahem......"
"I ...... I want those bullies to be removed from this world...... Disappear...... Ahem. ”
Every time the little boy said a word, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
However, despite trembling all over, he persevered, clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and slowly stood up.
Zhou Tong's eyes flickered, this person gave him a feeling of once acquaintance.
"I'm going to ...... Be a general, change this unfair world, listen to your mother's words, and serve the country loyally. ”
The little boy roared like madness, stood up straight with tears streaming down his face, gritted his teeth, and stared directly at the old man.
Staring at the little boy in front of him with eagle-like eyes, although Zhou Tong didn't say a word, he gave everyone a terrifying sense of oppression.
However, the little boy did not show any fear.
The cold wind swept through his body, and he didn't move, like a thick wall, which has always stood there since ancient times.
Blood and tears were intertwined, mixed on the hard marble floor, and Sun Li and Luan Tingyu, who were not far away, couldn't help but stop fighting, looking at this Yue Fei with a stunned expression.
Yue Fei moved, he didn't go forward, he didn't go back.
He aimed at Zhou Tong, knelt down on his knees, and bowed heavily.
"Apprentice Yue Fei, here today, begging Master Zhou to pass on my martial arts, apprentice...... Entrust with your life, you will enter the right path, and serve the country loyally in this life, if there is a violation, the emperor is above, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed, and you will not be able to live forever! ”
