Chapter 70 Leaving to Save and Give Arms
Today's fog inevitably makes people feel melancholy, although it is not suitable to go out, but it is a good day to say goodbye.
Sun Youlin's mood is a little heavy, he is just cold on the surface, but in his heart he is a good man who values love and righteousness.
The one who was most seriously injured was the first to choose to leave, which was unexpected but reasonable.
Chu Tongcheng also looks really down, although he has tried to straighten his waist, but the small bag behind him seems to weigh a thousand pounds, even if he stands straight, it also gives people a feeling of being crushed.
His wound had not yet healed, and the layers of gauze and bandages wrapped around the wound were still oozing scarlet blood.
Sun Youlin was dressed in a gray robe, his eyes were cold, his hair was a little messy, and a few strands of hair hung down his cheeks.
He lit the cigarette stick, took a puff lightly, burned the tobacco red, and then handed it to Chu Tongcheng, Chu Tongcheng's cheeks were sunken, and the fire of the tobacco extended from the outside to the inside, and the smoke that spewed out was like an old jellyfish.
After smoking, Chu Tongcheng finally dared to move his shoulder, as if the cigarette had relieved the pain of his broken palm.
"Are you really leaving?" Sun Youlin took the cigarette stick back, gently knocked off the cigarette ash, and twisted the tobacco from the embroidery bag.
"My hands are gone, I don't leave and keep to do anything, this kid surnamed Chen is a clever person, and he doesn't talk about his mother-in-law, he should be able to do big things, and it's better for the brothers to follow him than to run around."
Sun Youlin took a puff of cigarette, it was still only a shallow smoke, and said to Chu Tongcheng: "It's a pity that you have a good martial arts, you have strength, if you want, I can pass on a set of left-handed knives to you, why give up on yourself?" ”
"You should know that all of us are disgraceful, we are all burdened with blood debts, and we are separated from our brothers, and if you want to survive alone, it will not be easy......"
Chu Tongcheng also smiled bitterly: "Brother, you should know, I never ask for alms, no matter how strong I am and how big a bowl of rice I eat, I would rather stand up straight and be hungry than kneel to eat enough." ”
Sun Youlin knows that Chu Tongcheng is also a person who has tasted the bitterness, his family is a rich family, and he has also been prodigal and enjoys all the glory and wealth.
But the family fell in the middle of the road, the father was ill, depressed and died, the mother was forced to observe the festival by the clan uncle, but often knocked on the widow's window of the mother behind her back, and after three times, the mother was humiliated, and she committed suicide by hanging.
Chu Tongcheng sent people under the fence, and the clan brothers looked down on him, beat and scolded him at every turn, and only when he knelt could he eat a full meal.
However, such days did not last long, because Chu Tongcheng lay on the wall of the martial arts hall all day long, stealing a trick and a half, and three years later, he also mixed everything together and practiced his own way.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year of the third year, the uncles and uncles of the big clan gathered together happily, Chu Tongcheng, who had no father or mother, did not even have new clothes, and could not eat on the table, but divided the food into a bowl and let him hide in the corner to eat, as if he had raised a paparazzi.
At night, after the fireworks, everyone carnivaled, physically and mentally exhausted, and went to sleep, but Chu Tongcheng stole a kitchen knife from the kitchen and went from room to room to seek revenge.
He didn't miss a single one of those who had insulted his mother, who had beaten and scolded him, and who had even spat on him!
The elderly uncle, who got up before the fifth watch, went to the ancestral hall to renew the incense, but found that Chu Tongcheng was covered in blood, and all the gods and cards of the ancestors and ancestors were trampled on the ground, and only the tablets of his parents were left on the shrine.
The old uncle was old, his eyes were not very good, and when he walked in, he found that Chu Tongcheng was full of faces, from head to toe, as if he had just been fished out of the pool of blood, and the blade of the kitchen knife in his hand was rolled, and there were some scalps and hair on it.
He has never beaten and scolded Chu Tongcheng, and when everyone was disgusted with Chu Tongcheng, only the old uncle who extended a helping hand raised the crutch in his hand and beat his head and face.
Blood flowed down Chu Tongcheng's forehead, but he didn't wipe it, and he didn't even bend his waist.
The old uncle was tired, so he sat down next to him, hugged him and cried for most of the night.
Since then, Chu Tongcheng has relied on a kitchen knife to live, exchanged a force for a bowl of rice, dared to do any business, and lived until now.
It is precisely because he knows his past that Sun Youlin feels pity, in fact, every brother who leaves him and does not want to follow him to follow Chen Mu, he feels pity, but because Chu Tongcheng is not unwilling, but consciously broke his hand and has no value, which makes Sun Youlin feel even more regretful.
He knew the temper of each brother very well, and knew that Chu Tongcheng would not stay because of his words, let alone accept his gifts, so he didn't say more.
"Then take care......"
Facing Sun Youlin who saw him off, Chu Tongcheng rarely showed a smile, his teeth were actually very neat, because he often told his brothers that his teeth must be maintained well, and only when his teeth are good can he eat enough, and only when he eats well can he have the strength to live.
"Take care." He subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to hold his fist, pulling the wound, and it hurt, only to find that he had broken his palm, and there was a burst of loss and pain in his heart, so he could only move his left hand to Sun Youlin's shoulder and pat it gently.
Sun Youlin hates physical touch, especially male touch, and many brothers never dare to touch the tiger's buttocks, Chu Tongcheng is the first.
Sun Youlin frowned, but instead of being angry as before, he stepped forward and gently hugged Chu Tongcheng, although they were separated immediately, but an iron man like Chu Tongcheng still couldn't help but have moist eyes.
"Gone!" Chu Tongcheng turned around and took a step, resolutely.
Sun Youlin also sighed lightly, and was about to turn back, but found that Chu Tongcheng stopped when he walked to the entrance of the sentry post.
"Could it be that foreigners are looking for trouble? Or does Tang Tingfang want to kill people? Sun Youlin clenched his fists and chased after him quickly!
The fog was a bit heavy, and he couldn't see the situation ahead clearly, so he had to walk to Chu Tongcheng's side before he could see the face of the person blocking the road, wasn't it Chen Mu!
Chen Mu glanced at the backpack behind Chu Tongcheng, and sighed softly: "Sure enough, we still have to go, you and I can be regarded as fighting side by side, in Jianghu dialect, it should be a lifelong friendship, how can you say that you can leave?" ”
Chu Tongcheng didn't want to explain too much, and said to Chen Mu: "Young Master Chen, I'm just a little loach, and the mud pond is still a gangster, you are a big river, I can't afford to make any waves." ”
Chen Mu looked at Sun Youlin, the latter's eyes were also meaningful, and Chen Mu understood.
He walked over and said to Chu Tongcheng: "You are indeed like a loach, if I hadn't come back earlier, I'm afraid I would have let you slip away." ”
Chu Tongcheng heard the word "slip", and his face suddenly turned ugly: "I, Chu someone, have never been afraid in my life, why ...... slip"
Although the mouth is tough, the tone is a little weak.
Chen Mu was also ruthless: "You promised to join Hong Shuntang, so sneak away, what is it if you don't slip away?" ”
Chu Tongcheng's face, which was pale because of his injury, turned red, and he argued with his neck: "I just want to fight foreigners, I don't want to join Hong Shuntang, so many people who help you fight foreigners, don't you also follow Tang Tingfang a little more......
Chen Mu didn't bother to quarrel with him, threw the things wrapped in the pillow towel in his arms into his arms, and said simply: "I, the young master of Hong Shuntang, have just taken office, and I am not very familiar with the business, but today I set the first rule, but whoever joins Hong Shuntang will never be allowed to quit halfway!" ”
The pillow towel was extremely heavy, and Chu Tongcheng could only use it with his left hand, so he scooped it hard, only grabbed the pillow towel, and the things inside fell to the ground with a click.
When he saw the thing on the ground, his whole body froze!
It was an iron hand, strictly speaking, a pair of arm armor that could wrap the entire arm, and the front end of the arm armor was a black iron prosthetic hand, and the fingers were five sharp claws, like the claws of a bobcat, long and sharp!
"This ...... It's a red-haired savage thing! ”
Chu Tongcheng knew this thing, this was the prosthetic leg of one of the Viking pirates, because it could wrap the entire arm, this iron claw was like growing on the arm, whether it was the musket team or Sun Youlin's brother, they had all suffered from this thing!
Sun Youlin was also shocked, Chen Mu's defeat of the Bone Crushers and a room of Viking pirates was enough to shock them, but they didn't expect Chen Mu to detain the treasure of the Vikings!
Because they fought with the Vikings, they knew better than anyone that it was impossible to get something from these Vikings!
However, looking at Chen Mu's somewhat wet hair, it was obvious that he had gone out early in the morning, and he had just come back now, but he didn't expect to go to ask the pirates for this armarm!
Chu Tongcheng lost his palm, so he understood very well the pirate's dependence and love for this armarm, Chen Mu was able to snatch this thing, and the difficulty of this can be imagined.
Although Chen Mu's process of begging for this thing was very simple, it was exchanged for his second fight with the bone crusher for a bet!
Chu Tongcheng stood in place, speechless for a long time, but Chen Mu picked up the arm armor and handed it into Chu Tongcheng's hand, laughing and teasing: "Don't stand stupidly, this thing took a lot of effort to get it back, and I don't have the face to go back again." ”
Chu Tongcheng clung to the cold arm armor, but he felt unprecedented warmth, and even the old uncle who beat him to the point of bleeding and finally secretly let him go Chu Tongcheng had not knelt down, and he was about to kneel down on one knee at this time.
Chen Mu casually held him up and said seriously: "You are not a person who kneels easily, don't kneel to me, I haven't thought about dying yet......"
Chu Tongcheng straightened up, nodded vigorously, and said, "Yes, young master!" ”
Seeing this, Sun Youlin also had to admire, and asked Chen Mu, "How did you get this thing?" ”
Chen Mu didn't explain, just jokingly: "What, you also want one?" ”
Sun Youlin spit out a mouthful of old phlegm extremely contrivedly: "Ahhhh Children's words are unscrupulous, and great luck is! ”
Originally a serious and cold person, if he is funny, then he is really laughing to death, that is, Chu Tongcheng was amused by Sun Youlin's actions.
Sun Youlin couldn't help but smile slightly, but his eyes kept looking at the old foreigner housekeeper behind Chen Mu.
This person has been staring at the arm armor on the ground, his face is still pale, and his face is full of palpitations, perhaps because of this, Sun Youlin understands more that this arm armor is not easy to come by, and it is precisely because of Chen Mu's behavior that he is willing to let go of his cold appearance and occasionally show his funny side.
Chen Mu looked at Sun Youlin and Chu Tongcheng, and suddenly became serious: "Take a good rest, we have to do big things next!" ”
