Chapter 14, The Lone Star
There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, people have good fortune and misfortune, the raging flames are burning Xiaoshan, it seems that the sky feels the flame-like hatred of Xiaoshan, the dark clouds cover the moon, the dull thunder explodes in the sky from far and near, for a time there is lightning and thunder, the silver snake is across the sky, and after a while, the autumn rain is long, and the raindrops are coming from the sky, getting bigger and bigger.
"Xiaoshan, the autumn rain is cold on the night, you can't stand in the rain, don't hurt your body, you will live up to the hard work of your father and your eldest brother, let's go......"
Shen was drunk and distressed and looked at Xiao Shan, who looked numb, Xiao Shan looked at the sea of fire in the rain in a daze, extinguished little by little, but the fire in his heart was not extinguished in the cold rain of this autumn night, recalling the faces of his eldest brother and father in the past, who understands the pain in his heart.
Shen Zui saw that Xiao Shan had no intention of leaving, so he had to forcibly knock Xiao Shan unconscious, picked up his beloved disciple, and glanced at Xiao Mansion, which was already blue and misty and reduced to a ruin, his eyes flashed with melancholy and loneliness, and his figure flickered and disappeared into the long autumn rain.
The next day, the morning sun rose, the rain was clear, the autumn rain fell all night, Xiao Shan looked at the heavy rain ruthlessly washed away, an abandoned Xiao Mansion, broken walls, no longer yesterday's scholarly door, Xiao Shan looked withered, numbly strolled in the abandoned Xiao Mansion, unconsciously came to the ancestral hall that had been burned out, the way of heaven was ruthless, the heavy rain washed away, even a trace of his father's ashes were not left, all clean.
Xiao Shan's eyes and tears dripped uncontrollably down his cheeks to the ground, Xiao Shan knelt on the ground with tears streaming down his face, kowtowing fiercely, as if he wanted to crush this hard stone slab, and wanted to knock through this ruthless sky, at this time the housekeeper Agui came to Xiao Shan's side, looked at Xiao Shan who kept kowtowing, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop Xiao Shan.
"Second young master, you torture yourself so much, the old man and the eldest young master will not rest in peace in the spirit of the sky, the ground is cold, you get up quickly!"
Ah Gui said and hurriedly helped Xiao Shan up, looking at the dilapidated Xiao Mansion, Ah Gui looked at Xiao Shan, who looked numb and had a bloody forehead, and handed Xiao Shan two wooden tablets and a simple genealogy in his hand.
"This is the master handed over to me for safekeeping on the afternoon of the day you come back, the master has already arranged his own funeral, in the Houshan cemetery has set up a mound for himself and the eldest young master, this genealogy master let you keep it, he believes that you can one day reproduce the former glory of the Xiao family!"
"Ahh Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!!! Scold! Scold! Scold! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha ......"
After listening to Agui's words, Xiao Shan burst into tears, looked up at the sky, and laughed nervously, the laughter was poignant and ghostly, making Agui on the side shudder, Xiao Shan took the things in Agui's hand, and shook it step by step, as if he was half drunk, without looking at Agui beside him, and staggered away.
Ah Gui looked at Xiao Shan's swaying back, the distressing laughter, it was so lonely and lonely, sad and ghostly, maybe this is fate, Tiansha Lone Star, Ah Gui glanced at the dilapidated Xiao Mansion again, bowed solemnly, and turned to leave.
In the quaint and dark room, Dai Li's face was blue and looked at Wang Puchen and Shen Zui beside him, looking at his expression, he was obviously very angry, Dai Li thought of the principal's angry scene, and the principal's angry scolding, his face did not improve, the air in the room was frozen to the extreme, and Dai Li's anger seemed to be about to explode at any time.
Dai Li was silent for a long time, and sighed helplessly, Wang Puchen and Shen Zui also breathed a sigh of relief, and then Dai Li looked at Shen Zui and Wang Puchen.
"Because of Xiao Yangming's matter, the principal called me over and scolded me fiercely, it seems that the Communist Party will not be able to move for the time being in the future, and now the principal is making a plan for the New Fourth Army, let your subordinates live in peace, don't do anything more in this bone, how is Xiaoshan now?"
"Bureau, after all, I have lost my relatives again and again, and now I am in a slump, alas!" Shen Zui said distressedly.
"Okay, I know you feel sorry for the apprentice, but you can't get through this hurdle, how can you become a big tool, you have to enlighten him well, the principal has already spoken, rebuild the Xiao Mansion, this matter will be handed over to you, you go and arrange it!" Shen Zui nodded after hearing this, and left.
Dai Li looked at the back of Shen drunk leaving, shook his head dejectedly, and looked at Wang Puchen with a lonely expression.
"I didn't expect Xiao Yangming, this old boy, to come here, and just in time for the New Fourth Army, it seems that our plans need to change!"
"The bureau has considered it well, our plan really needs to be changed, I heard Ye Ming say, this time it was Xiang Ying who came to hand over the guns and medicines in person, why don't we give an order to eradicate Ye Ming......" Wang Puchen's eyes showed a wise light, and he explained his plan and discernment.
After hearing this, Dai Li's face, which was still blue just now, showed a happy expression, thought for a moment, and then revealed worry.
"But who will carry it out, you can't really kill Ye Ming, but it's hard to distinguish between truth and falsehood, it's too difficult to choose this person!" Dai Li said wistfully.
"Bureau, you forget, Xiao Shan is a very suitable candidate, he and Ye Ming and Xie Tian are life and death, and the love of the robe is deep, let the two of them execute, it will definitely be able to achieve the effect we want." Wang Puchen's eyes shone with a sly light.
Dai Li nodded deeply, this Xiao Shanzhi is indeed a very good candidate, and then looked at Wang Puchen and said.
"How's the shadow plan going, the headmaster asked about it today!"
"The bureau seat is being improved, and when it is perfected, you can let the principal look at it, but Shen Zui, you have to say it yourself then!"
"Don't worry, I know, I think after going through this incident, Shen Zui will definitely agree to this plan, don't worry, I'll personally persuade Shen Zui!" Dai Li nodded confidently.
……
After the new rain in the empty mountain, the weather is late in autumn, Xiao Shan came to the Xiao family cemetery in the back mountain, looking at the two newly erected tombstones, Xiao Shan will bring tribute to visit in front of the two tombstones, solemnly poured three cups of sake, Xiao Shan's figure was lonely, tears in his eyes.
"I Xiaoshan respects my father and eldest brother with a cup, and a cup to the past, since then I Xiaoshan will always be a member of the Xiao family, and after death, I will be the soul of the Xiao family."
Xiao Shan said impassionedly, and then drank it all, with the sake spilled, the autumn breeze blowing, and Xiao Shan poured a full wine glass.
"I, Xiao Shan, salute my father and eldest brother for the second cup, and the second cup for the present, I Xiao Shan swear to bear the faith of you and my eldest brother, so that the dawn will reappear in the sky and the Xiao family will regain its glory."
Xiao Shan's eyes burst out with a determined light, drank it all, and then filled his wine glass, and solemnly looked at the tombstones of Xiao Yangming and Xiao Yuan.
"I Xiaoshan respects my father and eldest brother for the third cup, after three cups, from now on, I Xiaoshan will not dawn, hell will not be empty, and I will not become a Buddha!"
Xiao Shan drank it all, facing the morning sun, his eyes burst out with bright light, and made a grand wish to die, drunk I don't know when he came to Xiao Shan's back, listening to the vain's such a resolute oath, knowing that Xiao Shan no longer needs his own enlightenment, his mind is refined, and the great weapon has been achieved.
"Xiao Shan, the principal has already asked the Xiao Mansion to be rebuilt, and in the future, we must protect the family and defend the country, and we must not humiliate the Xiao family again!"
Xiao Shan turned around, looked at Shen Zui's concerned gaze, and couldn't help but pour into a warm current in his heart, maybe only the teacher in this world really cares about himself for a long time, Xiao Shan sighed, exhaled the stuffy breath in his chest, and breathed the fresh air after the autumn rain, at this moment the raging flame in his heart has been integrated into the heart, turning into a red heart, that unruly, murderous overflow has turned into an invisible introverted inside.
"What about rebuilding, but an empty mansion, from now on I Xiaoshan Tiansha Lone Star, the shadow is alone, the end of the world, Mo Dao Xing, dare to ask the blue sky and white sun, when is the dawn to ......"
Xiao Shan looked at Shen Zui, shook his head self-deprecatingly, and turned to leave, Shen Zui looked at Xiao Shan's unruly and lonely back, and didn't understand what Xiao Shan's last words meant, Shen Zui couldn't understand the current disciple, Shen Zui glanced at the newly erected tombstone, loneliness and loneliness lingered in Shen Zui's heart, maybe as Xiao Shan said, in addition to himself, Xiao Shan was really a lonely star, and the shadow was alone.
