Chapter 17: Ruochen's Life Experience
"Little master, someone sent you a letter."
"Who?" Ruochen opened the letter suspiciously, these days he has been following the master in the mansion to study medical skills, and rarely interacts with people, who will send him a letter.
The smile on his face froze.
"Ruochen, what's wrong?"
"No, it's fine." Ruochen panicked and hid the letter behind his back. "Master, it's okay."
"Are you not feeling well?" Bai Yitian felt that the little disciple was really strange, and he was absent-minded about refining medicine this afternoon.
"Miss is back!" Qingyue's cheers rang out outside the door.
Qingyue shouted, but reminded Bai that it was a day, and this kid might be worried. After all, it has been half a month since I left, and there has been no news at all. It's not easy for either child. One is still a child, so he is a father and a mother, taking care of the other child. One has had no father and mother since he was a child, and only one sister to rely on. "Take half a day off and spend time with your sister."
It's rare for the siblings to get together for a home-cooked meal. Ruochen thought about it, but still opened his mouth: "Sister, what does our father look like, why is there only a portrait of my mother at home, and there is no father?" ”
Ruoxi's chopsticks are a meal.
"Eat quickly."
Father? Ruoxi doesn't know.
I don't know if Ruochen's question is too sad, the sister and brother are silent for the meal, and it ends in a hurry.
Ruoxi's figure leaving made Ruochen feel strange, why did my sister hesitate just now? Why don't you know? Could it be that he is really not a child of the Ling family?
The contents of the letter during the day were reviewed over and over again in front of my eyes.
Lin Xiao, he seems to have heard this name.
The letter said that Ruochen was the son of Lin Xiao, a general under Ling Yunsi. In the battle between Liguo and Nancang, Ling Yunsi was greedy for merit, causing heavy casualties in Liguo, and finally pushed Lin Xiao out to take the blame. Lin Xiao's wife also died of martyrdom.
These words are like maggots attached to the bones, jumping out over and over again, and they will not disperse for a long time, sister, have you and your mother been lying to me all along?
Ruochen's words tonight also made Ruoxi's heart uneasy. Ji Wuchen had just been escorted back to Beijing, did Ruochen ask casually, or did he hear something?
"Mo Ze, go check Ruochen's whereabouts recently."
Her younger brother will never allow anyone to take advantage of it!
The letter kept flashing through his mind, and Ruochen seemed to be in a state of distraction all day.
"Young Master Lin."
A voice suddenly came from behind him, and Ruochen woke up suddenly. "You've mistaken someone."
"Young Master Lin, don't you want to know the truth?"
Seeing that the man in black was about to disappear around the corner, Ruochen gritted his teeth and followed.
The prison was dim and dark, only the candles on both sides, occasionally blown by the wind poured in, swaying, as if they were about to be extinguished in the next second.
Ruochen couldn't tell how he felt at the moment. He wanted to know the truth, but he was afraid that the truth was something he didn't want to see.
"It's inside, ask him yourself."
In the deep cell, there was only one person imprisoned in it, and he was heavily shackled, and his silent eyes suddenly burst out with an unbelievable light the moment he saw Ruochen, "Little young master? ”
It took a full hour for Ruochen to come out of the prison in despair. Raising his hand, he shielded himself from the sun, the light was too dazzling, and it was clearly visible to people's hearts.
"Are you a young master? Resemble! It's so similar, it's carved out of the same mold as the general. God has eyes, let the general have a queen, little master, to avenge the general. ”
"If it weren't for Ling Yunsi, how could the general have died tragically. I secretly carried out the general's body and buried it on a hillside thirty miles outside the city. ”
General Anping's Mansion. I don't know if it's because Ruoxi is at home, or because there is one more person who is Bai Yitian, in short, it has added a bit of popularity. The bright lights in front of me were in stark contrast to the dilapidated depression that I had just witnessed.
"Eh, little master, you're back, come in and eat!"
"Master, sister, I'm done. Let's go back to the room first. Ruochen really doesn't know how to face Ruoxi, the depression of eating a meal, it's better to go back to the room early.
The steps he took hesitated and stopped, "Sister, where is the other half of this jade pendant?" Ruochen took out half of the jade pendant that he had been hanging on his body since he could remember. When he saw Ji Wuchen take out the other half of this jade pendant and synthesize it with him, the word "Xiao" made Ruochen feel that the sky was shattered in an instant.
"This is a promise that your father gave to your mother, and your mother loves her and always hangs on her body, never leaving her. After the death of the general, your mother was martyred, and I found only half of it with her, and the other half was missing. ”
"Sister, I'll go back to the room first." He suddenly didn't want to hear the answer, he was scared, he was really scared.
"Chen'er, go out with my sister tomorrow." Ruoxi shouted to stop the villain who fled in the wilderness. There are some things that cannot be concealed by being investigated.
However, who gave Chen'er that letter, and who helped him meet Ji Wuchen?
Ruochen didn't expect Ruoxi to bring him here! After all, he just came yesterday.
Two small mounds, hastily erected a tombstone, hidden in the grass, plus the age, the handwriting on it, if you don't carefully identify it, you can't see it at all.
"Ji Wuchen told you everything, right? If it weren't for his mother's acquiescence, how could he take away the bones of Lin Xiao and his wife and bury them here. ”
Ruochen's hand hidden in his sleeve gradually clenched, Uncle Ji didn't lie to himself, I am really not a child of the Ling family.
There seemed to be the neighing of war horses and the sound of the handover of blades, and his eyes seemed to travel back to the tragic battle. "Ruochen, my sister has something to tell you."
Ruochen punishes her heart: "Sister wants to say how my mother killed my biological parents back then?"
Ruoxi looked at the dagger stuck in his abdomen in disbelief, and at the same time noticed that Ruochen seemed to be a little wrong. The dripping blood seemed to stimulate Ruochen, who suddenly came to his senses and retreated in horror, "I,, sister, I ...... what's going on?" He didn't want to, but he didn't seem to be able to control himself, his hands were covered with blood, he, he actually hurt his sister!
"Get out of the way." Ruoxi pulled the stunned Ruochen over, protected the person behind him, and fought with the man in black.
"Who the hell are you?"
The answer was a wave after wave of people in black who came up, "If you want to know, go to hell and ask." ”
Ruochen's knife was almost pierced, he lost too much blood, and he had to protect Ruochen, coupled with the large number of people in many parties, Ruoxi gradually felt a little difficult.
The person who was the leader saw Ruoxi's tiredness, and under the mask, a sneer was aroused, Ling Ruoxi, your time of death has arrived! The long sword is out of the sheath, and the blade of the sword is pointing, but it is not Ruoxi, but Ruochen.
"Chen'er, be careful!"
Ruochen, who was in a trance, didn't hear Ruoxi shouting at all, and didn't react until the sword of the man in black came to his eyes.
This sword did not fall on Ruochen after all. When I woke up again, there was no trace of the man in black around, and what I was wearing was Ruoxi's coat.
He only remembered that Ruoxi used his body to protect himself, received a sword from the man in black, and then fell off the cliff with him in his arms.
They were in a cave, and Ruoxi was tending to his wounds. He watched Ruoxi pull out the dagger in his abdomen, then point to stop the bleeding and hastily bandage it.
Suddenly, my eyes were a little sour.
Obviously, she hurt her sister, but her sister still spared no effort to save herself. Ruochen hates himself a little, why should he listen to them for the sake of the society? For so many years, my mother's upbringing is true, and my sister's love is true, why am I so confused.
"Awake?" Ruoxi heard the movement, "How is it, are you not hurt?" ”
Feeling the coldness of the hand on his forehead, Ruochen knew that this was a sign of excessive blood loss. At this time, my sister was still worried about him.
"Sister, I'll help you deal with your wounds." Without waiting for Ruoxi to answer, Ruochen took a detour behind Ruoxi to deal with the sword wound. He didn't know how to deal with Ruoxi.
"Chen'er, you are indeed not a child of the Ling family, and your father was indeed killed by your mother." Ruoxi noticed the hand behind him and stopped talking.
"Those people in black won't give up so easily, they can't find the body at the bottom of the valley, they will definitely react, my sister will take you out first."
"I'll tell you all about your father."
Ruoxi was already injured, and he had to bring a Ruochen, plus the rock wall was slippery, and when he returned home, Ruoxi was already half bloodstained, and he relied on Ruochen's support.
"General, what's going on?" Mo Ze hurriedly took Ruo Xi from Ruo Chen's hand. "I'll go and ask Bai Lao."
"No need, Ruochen will help me deal with it. Mo Ze immediately sent someone to investigate under Luoxia Peak, and brought back both the living and the dead. ”
"Yes."
There were only Ruoxi sisters and brothers in the house.
"Your father, Lin Xiao, is a tiger general under your mother. My mother also often said that she was brave and good at fighting, and no one was on the right side of General Lin. ”
"Fifteen years ago, at the border of Chen Bing in Nancang Kingdom, my mother led troops with General Lin to defend against the enemy. Although Nancang was well prepared, the troops were superior. However, under the desperate resistance of the Red Flame soldiers, it was difficult for them to step into the territory of Liguo for half a step. Nan Cang couldn't attack for a long time, so he tried to find another breakthrough. ”
"Your mother is watching over you at home, and she feels more and more uneasy, so she takes her family and comes to the border to look for your father. But he didn't want to, and was intercepted by Nancang's people halfway. ”
Ruochen's hand on the medicine was stunned, he was not stupid, Ruoxi's words had come to this, what happened next, he knew it in his heart.
"Mother didn't want General Lin I's prestige to be damaged, so she ......"
If he believes it, he has no reason not to believe it.
The purple mang was handed to him.
"Ruochen, if you want to avenge your parents, my sister has nothing to say. My sister only hopes that my younger brother can give up hatred and live carefree. ”
If it weren't for the fear that Ruochen was being used, this secret, Ruoxi was going to rot in his stomach. He didn't allow Ruochen to join the army, and he was messing around, just to protect his pure heart.
You don't have to make a big difference, it's enough to be able to live carefree in this life.
Ruoxi is destined not to get it in this life, she wants to give it to Ruochen.
