Chapter 9: The Scene of the Capital
Dan was also surprised by the arrival of the concubine, "Why is the teacher here?" Haven't you been in the sect for many years? Fei didn't answer, but carefully looked at Kai and Yao, "These two people are not from their own clan, you should be cautious." After hearing this, Dan said with a big grin: "They have shared the hardships with Dye, and now they have nowhere to go, don't worry, there will be no problem." After speaking, he saw the concubine's face was blue, and quickly made a grimace and hid to cook.
"Teacher, don't worry, I can vouch for these two people, they will not do anything harmful to their own clan, and besides, they have limited understanding of their own clan, and they are not afraid of them saying it." After listening to these words, the concubine's face became better: "You have been here for several days, when are you going to leave?" "We'll leave tomorrow, but Wan Niang has other arrangements, so we won't go together." I was afraid that the concubine would be embarrassed, so I didn't tell the truth. The concubine seemed to see through their thoughts, and did not ask, but said lightly: "It may not be more comfortable to stay outside, forget it, just because I haven't seen her." What about you? The concubine turned her head, looked into her eyes, and asked. Sister Dan will pick me up and stay with her for a while. Dye replied.
The concubine raised her eyebrows and looked at it for a while: "Don't you want to go back to Zongxue?" It's really safe there. Dye knew the concubine's ability to manipulate people's hearts, so he hurriedly avoided his gaze, "I don't want to go back yet, there are many things I haven't figured out, I hope the teacher will be successful." ”
"Because of the prime minister of the city? Or is it because of your family's business? She turned to the table and sat down, poured herself a cup of tea, and waited for Ran to wake up from her surprise.
Dye was stunned for a while, and then she realized that she knew everything about the concubine, and she no longer hid it: "Teacher, when did you learn that my family was wiped out?" ”
"I only found out when you passed by there by chance after you had already entered the harem of the city." The concubine continued to drink tea.
"What about the Master? And when did he find out? Dye's eyes sharpened.
"This, I don't know, about these tasks in the clan, I always don't ask, even where you went, I don't know." The concubine did not say that after he found out that the Dye family had died tragically, he traveled to all the countries alone to find her whereabouts.
"Then may I ask the teacher, do you think it was just a coincidence that the master arranged for me to go to the city? It's also a coincidence that I became neighbors with Cocoon? The village where we live is so remote and belongs to the land of Bincheng, but it originally hid the prince of Jiaocheng and the descendants of the Yao tribe, didn't he know about it? Dye expressed his long-standing suspicions, and when he was so emotional, he almost overturned the table, and Dan and Wan Niang, listening to the movement in the house, had to stay away and dare not make a sound.
"I really don't know, but your father and mother settled there in the first place, it was indeed their own choice, not arranged by the master, and I can testify to this, because I escorted them there, and your house can be built, and I have the credit. Back then, your mother suffered a lot for your life, and even fell into the problem that your wrists were sore and you couldn't use your strength, otherwise you wouldn't have been ......" When you thought of the tragic death of your mother, she seemed to be choked by something.
"The teacher actually knows my mother so well, are you familiar with it before? Why didn't I see a teacher as a child? Dye was infected by the warmth of her mother's words in her words, and her emotions calmed down a lot.
"We grew up together, I am a few years older than your mother, she used to always call me brother, at that time she was the same as you, for the fate of the clan to carry out the mission, came back sullen for a long time, how did I ask, she didn't say, and soon married your father, moved away from us, if it wasn't for the danger when she was pregnant with you, your father came to beg me to rescue, she didn't want to see anyone related to Zongxue at all, I guess, the reason why she chose your father is because although he is a member of the Yao tribe, he just wants to be an ordinary person who wants to escape." Although it was all decades ago, the faces and postures of those people are still so profound.
"Hasn't Master been to my house?" Dye still can't believe it, everything is just a coincidence.
"I've been there, I remember that when you were three or four years old, he went to all the homes of his own clan, in order to confirm the number and address of the next generation of real women, so that he could pick you up in the future, and when he came back, he specially told me that you were born very much like your mother, but you have a light temperament, and you are not as lively and active as she was when she was a child." In fact, the concubine is also suspicious, in order to continue the legacy of the elders of the previous generation, the master is already on the verge of going mad, and it is not surprising that he deliberately arranged these to manipulate other people's lives.
"So, maybe he found out the identity of the cocoon at that time, and later learned about the changes in my family, so he decided to send me to Aocheng?" The more Dye thought about it, the more he felt a chill in his back, could it be that in this massacre, there was also a share of the master? Or was the news that the cocoon was hiding there that the master had revealed to Yan's father? This kind old man who watched these girls grow up, how many secrets are buried behind them, and how many scheming are included.
"You can only go back and ask him about this, I can't give you an answer." The concubine poured the residual tea in the cup on the ground, got up and asked again: "Do you want to go back to Zongxue with me?" ”
"I, I don't want to go back for the time being, when I'm ready, I'll ask the master for clarification." After going through too many blows, Dye didn't want to face this elder who had always been a relative so quickly, and he was concerned about the conspiracy.
"Alright then, you can go with Dan, she can make you happy." After speaking, the concubine put on her black robe again and walked out of the door.
"Teacher, are you leaving?" Dye didn't expect him to leave so soon.
"Anything else?" Fei slowed down.
"No, won't the teacher finish eating before leaving?" Dye originally wanted to ask, didn't he go with them? But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.
"No, I'm not used to this. Let's go. As soon as he finished speaking, the man flew up and jumped up, leaving only a black shadow.
"You guys just had a fight? He you off? Dan cautiously approached at this time.
"No, I just asked the teacher a few questions," he said that he didn't want others to know about his master's suspicions, "he said that he couldn't get used to our worldly tastes, and he didn't know where to absorb the aura of heaven and earth." For the concubine, Dye did not have the fear of the student for the teacher, but felt like a friend of the same generation, but Dan didn't think so: "You be quiet!" When I was in Zongxue, I was most afraid of him, a person who could manipulate people's hearts at will, and he had such a demonic face, which was too scary! Dan shook his head as he spoke, looking at her appearance, he couldn't help but laugh: "Demon? Are you jealous that the teacher is more beautiful than us?! Yao was stunned just now, she didn't look like this when she saw us. ”
Yao happened to come in with the dishes, listening to the ridicule of the two of them, her face was red to the root of her ears, she put down her things in a panic, turned around and ran out, which made the people in the room laugh again, and the melancholy of parting was diluted a lot.
The sun was sinking in the west, four women were chattering, a man was listening and laughing, the lively table was set up until the second half of the night, dyed and drank too much wine, and got drunk until noon the next day, after waking up, Yao handed her a letter with red eyes, and told her that Wan Niang had left before dawn, and ran out crying after speaking.
opened the letter, and Wan Niang's familiar handwriting jumped in front of her eyes:
"Dye, I'm leaving, say goodbye to being too worried, leaving quietly so alone, but saving a lot of tears, anyway, I have to go alone for more than a hundred years in the future, don't worry, I can still take care of myself, but you, let me feel at ease, although you look cold, in fact, you are very emotional, even if you have to hurt others, you are more painful than the other party, such a person, is not suitable for this chaotic world, pity you are still born as the true daughter of the Yao tribe, Being forced by the Master's people to stir up the dust of the three thousand, don't be too difficult for yourself.
I actually heard what you said to you that day, and I knew the suspicion in your heart, and I don't know anything else, but when you first came to me, the letter from the master you brought with me did have a letter that asked me to deliberately arrange for Yan to meet you, and I also mentioned that I must let the king of the city see you too, and this plan, the master also specially explained that you don't need to know. Later, many of my efforts were also made to complete this entrustment, and now that I think about it, I feel that I can't live with you, but I also believe that you can understand my difficulties. The real daughter of the Yao people is just a marionette from generation to generation, who puts on her own life, dreams, love and even relatives for distant hatred.
I also want to tell you one thing, my generation of real women, originally there were more than a dozen people when they went to the sect, but now there are only three or four people alive, in addition to being killed because of the mission failure, there are many who can't stand the inner torment and commit suicide, and my best friend, because he fell in love with her to carry out the mission, the minister of the country also gave birth to a son, in order to protect his lover and child, he chose to give up the task, and was finally cleaned up by the master. It took many years after her death for me to learn the truth from her son, but what if I did, I didn't dare to resist, I could only escape, I told you this in the hope that you could protect yourself well, and it would hurt you, not just those visible swords.
I don't think we'll ever see each other again in this life, but I'll pray for you in a distant place, don't follow the path of those people, and live well. Yao is a good girl, have a chance to marry her to an honest and reliable ordinary person, she is already bitter enough.
Finally, one more thing, don't fall in love with anyone, sincere payment is the catastrophe of the true daughter of the Yao people, the catastrophe that will never be recovered. ”
When Yao cleaned up her emotions and returned to the house, the letter had turned into a pile of ashes, she didn't ask anything, quietly cleaned up the ashes, took them out and raised them into the wind, looked at the stars that were swept up by the wind, and quietly prayed in her heart that everything was safe.
At noon, a few people had a quick bite to eat, and Dan called Kai to pack up his things with her, set up the carriage, and prepare to leave. "Oh, it's not like this, you are a dignified general, why can't you even get a carriage?!" Dan is really a good hand at work, even if he doesn't stop talking. "Who said that a military general should understand a carriage? We have a coachman who doesn't have to do it ourselves, okay?! "Kai, who was silent all the way, actually knows how to fight back." Suddenly! Then you are looking for your coachman now, really, who might as well rely on yourself, do you understand?! Someone to talk to her, Dan was more energetic.
In the midst of the noise between the two of them, everything was sorted out, "Alright, let's go on our way!" Dan beckoned everyone to get into the car, she sat in front of the car, and Kai was asked by her to sit next to him to study, Dye and Yao sat in the car, and they could hear it through the curtain, and the two of them kept bickering all the way.
"Senior Sister Dan can always make people happy, I really envy her ability." Dye said to Yao with a slight smile.
"Girls always make people feel warm, but they just don't like to talk." Yao is a little more admired than others, especially after seeing her save people several times regardless of herself.
"Don't call me a girl in the future, call me sister, we are relatives, no longer some master's subordinates." Dye thought of his younger brother, if he was still alive, he would be about the same age as Yao.
"Sister, sister." Yao shouted cautiously, but her heart was already rippling, and she finally had a family, family.
Along the way, they encountered several deserters, some of the seriously injured supported each other and begged, and some wanted to rob with knives, Dan and Kai sent them away one by one, but the dye sitting in the carriage became heavier and heavier, and the people above the court, with just one sentence, how many people on the front line would go forward and succeed, and the dead and wounded were all the same fresh lives, and there were parents, wives and children, and people who were worried.
"Senior Sister Dan, if there are any more deserters, let's give them some dry food to satisfy their hunger." Dye commanded.
"And what if they draw their swords again?" Dan remembered the faces of those people who pounced on him just now, and he was unwilling.
"Isn't that not going to be able to beat you, besides, it's not because they can't live, they won't have evil thoughts." I'm used to dealing with this hard-mouthed and soft-hearted senior sister.
"That's right, okay, okay, listen to you." Dan Ling's clever tongue is always invalid when it comes to dyeing here.
As they approached the capital, there were very few deserters, and in their place were the sights of homeless people, almost the same as the one seen on the way out of the city. "Dye, we don't have much food, if we give alms here, I'm afraid that other people will come up, I don't want to do anything to these helpless people." Dan knew that Dye must have been overflowing with compassion again, so he took the first step to stop it.
"Well, I know, there are so many people, we can't help a few even if we help each other, so let's hurry." Dye curled up weakly, leaned against the corner of the carriage, and said no more.
Dan and Kai drove back and forth, without stopping, until they finally entered the city gate before dark the next day. Dye was dazed and heard Dan's loud voice: "Come out and help a few people!" ”
