The secret of the year

Qi Bei sat down again, and swept all the wine and food before raising his head and asking Xiaoshuang: "There is no one I am not familiar with in this area, where are you going?" Just say. ”

"Didn't King Yue live in the mine? And where you like to go, you can take us to see. Brother, I am young, and I want to visit the land of King Yue's hard work. ”

"Then I'm afraid you will be disappointed, the residence of King Yue in the mine was destroyed by fire during that war, and only a roof foundation remains, if you want to see it, I can still take you to see it." Beibei said with some regret and helplessness.

"Go ahead!" Xiaoshuang still insisted.

Then we will look for rattans on the road, and there are many varieties of rattans around here, such as wisteria, vines, ivy, oil and hemp vines, etc., but I still think that the toughness of the golden thread red heart vine is the best. ”

After listening to the poison, the north bento took the lead first.

Beibei took them to a southward ravine on the side of the mine, and along the way they picked vines while moving forward, Xiaoshuang used common means such as pulling, chopping, kneading, and rubbing to test the properties of these rattans, and finally came to the same conclusion as Wu Poison.

On a small slope at the end of the ravine, there is a remnant of the remains of a stilted building, which has been naturally purified for so many years, and is overgrown with weeds and dead vines, but there are a few places where the ground is burned to clump and no grass grows, which can prove that this is the trace left by the fire of that year.

Wu Poison walked to the end of the ravine and did not want to stop, and continued to climb up a hill directly in front of him, and Beibei and Xiaoshuang also followed.

Xiao Shuangbian climbed the mountain and thought that there was only one foundation here, which showed that she used to live alone on the construction site. The path at the bottom of the small ravine is not wide, and there are no two people walking side by side, and there are all kinds of weeds and trees on the slopes on both sides of the ditch, which is a natural good ambush place. Liu Qingqing lives here, obviously not for any quietness, there must be some big secret.

The three of them climbed up the mountain, but they were out of breath, sat on the ground and rested for a while, and drank some water.

Xiaoshuang looked at the black poison all the way without smiling, in his hands. He always carried a basket and didn't let people touch it, and he didn't know what evil he had fallen into, so he asked with concern.

"Brother Wu, are you tired of carrying this basket, do you want me to help."

"No, it's already here."

Wu Poison responded to him in a very crisp voice, and then walked along a path on the ridge by himself, a small platform appeared at the end of the road, there were two graves on the platform, there were stone tablets in front of the tombs, the stone tablets on the left were written, the tomb of my beloved Liu Tan, the stone tablet on the right, the tomb of my righteous sister Liu Xin, all of them were Liu Qingqing, there was no official position of King Yue, and it seemed equal and close.

Wu Poison gently walked towards the tomb of Liu Xin on the right, put down the basket, uncovered the black cloth on it, gently wiped the tombstone and the ground in front of the monument, and gently took out three plates of side dishes and a bowl of rice from the basket and laid them out one by one, as if he was afraid of disturbing the owner in the tomb.

Then he also put these in front of Liu Tan's tomb, but it was obviously not as meticulous as Liu Xin.

After doing this, Xiaoshuang found that there were tears in Wu Poison's eyes, and it was obvious that the two people here were very important to him, especially that Liu Xin.

At the end, incense and candles were placed on the table, and paper money was burned to sacrifice.

"Senior sister! I'm coming, I'm coming to see you. Senior brother hasn't come to see you for so many years, you won't blame senior brother, right?

You must not blame Senior Brother, because you are the kind of person who is naturally kind, and would rather be crushed to pieces than help others achieve their wishes. Your wish, Senior Brother Sijing helped you complete, don't worry!

Senior brother brought you some food, you eat more, senior brother knows that you are not a picky eater.

As he spoke, he pushed the dishes and chopsticks forward again, and just knelt down and looked at the food, and the tears could no longer help but slide down his cheeks, as if he remembered the good old days.

Xiaoshuang and Beibei also began to burn paper in front of Liu Tan's tomb.

Although Xiaoshuang's contact with Wu Poison is not long, he is indeed not a very fragile person, it can only be said that he is the kind of person who does not flick when a man has tears, but he has not reached the sad place, and this should be his sad place.

After Xiao Shuang and the others burned the few pieces of paper money in their hands, they bowed three times, then pulled Beibei aside and asked about Liu Tan and Liu Xin.

Beibei whispered.

"Liu Tan is the head of our copper mine, that guy is amazing, he can subdue the tiger, and no one in the mine disobeys him. She was seriously wounded and killed in an ambush of her brother by the King of Yue. Liu Xin is his sister, a close disciple of the previous high priest, who was also burned to death in that battle, and that's all I know. ”

Xiaoshuang knew in his heart that Beibei was just a peripheral soldier, and he could only know so much, so he didn't ask anymore and waited quietly.

It wasn't until the sun set in the west that the black poison woke up and turned around, and his kneeling feet moved, but he didn't stand up, as if he was kneeling and numb.

Xiaoshuang hurried over, helped him up, and found a stone to sit on.

"I know you're curious to know about these two men. But first of all, I want to thank you for giving me the courage to face it all up.

As a door-to-door son-in-law, no matter what the reason is, it is equivalent to losing the dignity of a man in our country.

But you can not care at all, and you live so freely, as a person who has come over, there seems to be nothing that I can't let go. ”

Wu Poison said it sincerely, without belittling Xiaoshuang at all, but when Xiaoshuang heard it in his ears, he had a sense of collapse in his heart.

No wonder the men and women in the village have been smiling and looking at themselves in the past two days. Xiaoshuang thought that he was looking like a jade tree in the wind, graceful and suave, and attracted envy, jealousy and hatred! It's fucking contempt, which is really unbearable, and I can't help but make Xiaoshuang crazy.

"I remember that when I was sixteen years old, the master and the king of Yue also took Qingqing to Daxuanguo to investigate the situation, and when I came back, I brought back a thirteen-year-old boy and a twelve-year-old girl, one was renamed Liu Tan, and the other was renamed Liu Xin.

According to the master, these two people were sold by a dilapidated juggling team, and he and King Yue were busy with business, so naturally they didn't want to ask for this trouble, so they were bought by the young girl with her own hand ornaments.

King Yue is also a favorite child, so he brought them back. Later, the master found out that Senior Sister Xin was very talented in bird language, so he accepted her as a closed disciple.

In this way, Senior Sister Xin stayed with us, and the brothers liked this little sister very much, and Qingqing also ran to our small courtyard every once in a while, and the small courtyard was very happy and lively.

Two years later, Qingqing went to the mine to supervise the miners, and Liu Tan and his sister moved to the mine, only to come back from time to time to ask the master and brothers for advice, and that time was the best time of my life. ”

Wu Poison spoke slowly, with a sweet smile on his face, as if he was back to the age of seventeen.

"What about your brothers?" Xiaoshuang asked curiously.

"Dead, all dead. Priesthood is an awe-inspiring and highly dangerous business. It's like we raise Gu, and there won't be much left in the end.

Look at my arm, there are some strange scars on it, they are all bitten by poisonous insects and poisonous Gu, but my life is big, who called me Wu Poison!

The others were not so lucky, including my three apprentices. ”

After that, the black poisonous face showed a sad color.

"I'm sorry, Brother Wu, it reminds you of your sad things again."

"After these things, it reminds me of Da Xuanguo's method of using herbs to cure diseases, I want to use it instead of Gu cultivation, this may be my career for the rest of my life, so let's go back tonight and discuss how about healing medicine?"

"That's fine." Xiaoshuang replied briskly.

"It's not too early, the sun is about to go down, let's go back quickly! Otherwise, you won't be able to make it to dinner! Beibei urged anxiously.

"Go"

Xiaoshuang picked up the black poison and rushed to the way back together.
