Chapter 5: The name on the jade pendant
Looking at the blood all over the ground, looking at the grandfather and grandson covered in blood, the brother and sister didn't know what to say. I only felt indescribable sadness in my heart.
Grandpa's voice never seemed so faint: "Ah... Girl, grandpa... Again... Again... Nor can ... Accompany... I'm with you..."
The girl had never heard her grandfather's words so sincerely, she was afraid that her grandfather would leave her if she said one more word, so she began to sobble again: "Grandpa, don't talk, you still have to live, your granddaughter has to celebrate your birthday, and she has to make fish soup for you..."
Grandpa shook his head and continued, "It's... Actually, I... I'm not you... You... Grandpa, I... I was... Only... It's in... This... This Luo Shui... On the river... Pick up... Pick you up. ”
The girl choked even more, and she wanted to carry him up: "You are my grandfather, and my granddaughter has only one grandfather... Grandpa, I'll carry you to the bed and lie down, Sun... Granddaughter cooks for you. ”
As soon as he moved, his grandfather couldn't stand it: "Ya... Girl... Other... Don't move, listen... Listen to grandpa... Say... Tell me a while... Talk a little bit. ”
The girl didn't dare to move again, for fear that her grandfather would be a little more uncomfortable: "Okay, granddaughter doesn't move, grandpa, you say, granddaughter listen..."
Grandpa said slowly: "When... Then... On you... Yes... There's a piece of jade... Peggy, on... There's on it... Two... Two words... Should... Should... Only... It's you... Target... Name; You bring... It... Go... I'm going to find you... Biological father... Parents right. ”
The girl cried: "Grandpa, the granddaughter will accompany the grandfather, and she will not go anywhere, she will not go anywhere." ”
Grandpa tightened with a last trace of strength and said, "Jade... Jade pendant... Only... Just in... In the box... Village... Girl... You hear... Haven't you?"
How could the girl not hear it, she was afraid that she would never hear her grandfather's words again, so she heard every word very clearly, even her grandfather's weaker and weaker heartbeat was so clear: "I heard it, my granddaughter heard it..."
Grandpa's body slowly began to tremble, and it became more and more obvious: "Ya... Girl, grandpa is good... Good... It's cold... Granddaughter... You... You hold on a little tighter... Cold..."
The girl obviously felt that her grandfather's body was getting colder and stiffer, she hugged her tighter and tighter, trying to warm her grandfather, and the voice in her mouth became louder and louder: "Quilt... Quilt... quilt..."
The brother and sister on the side had never seen this meeting, and they had already cried like rain and wept silently, and when they heard that this girl wanted a quilt, they immediately panicked, and they didn't know where to find it. Fortunately, my sister was clever, and when she saw that she and her brother were wearing two cloaks, she quickly untied her own, and went to untie her brother again.
The elder brother hasn't reacted yet, but blindly cooperated with his sister, but the two of them wasted a little effort to untie the cloak on the elder brother's body. The younger sister took two cloaks and wrapped them around her grandfather and grandson in a panic, only to hear her grandfather's faint breath still saying, "Cold... Cold..."
The younger sister looked around, estimating that there should be a quilt in the cabin, and hurriedly ran to the cabin, and saw where the elder brother was still standing in a wooden manner: "Brother, hurry up and go to our ship to get two mattresses." ”
Only then did my brother react and hurried back to his boat to get the mattress.
Fortunately, there was not much space in the cabin of the boat, so it didn't take much time for my sister to find it and quickly carry it out.
Grandpa was completely out of breath and had no pulse.
The girl had no tears, some were just numb, and suddenly the thousand words she wanted to say in her heart converged into a heartfelt cry: "Grandpa..."
My sister just walked to the door of the cabin with the quilt in her arms, only to hear a cry and was stunned, only to see that her grandfather's hands hung stiffly on the ground, and his chest did not rise and fall at all. How to open your mouth for a while, what to do.
The elder brother ran over with two fresh mattresses, and when he saw that neither of them was moving, he hurriedly said, "The mattress is here... Here comes the mattress..."
The younger sister glared at her brother, and only said in her heart: "Brother, are you lacking eyes and eyes, and you don't have the ability to see?"
The elder brother looked at his sister and felt a hint of embarrassment, and after a moment of stunnedness, he went back with the mattress in his arms.
I don't know how long it took, but my sister finally mustered up the courage and asked tentatively, "Girl, are you okay?"
The girl hugged her grandfather's arm and moved, which was considered to be a reaction, but she did not reply. She struggled to pick up her grandfather, but she couldn't do anything, and her sister quickly put down the quilt in her hand and went up to help. The two of them tossed and turned for a while before placing them in the cabin.
The younger sister was so tired that her face was flushed, and she was afraid of disturbing the old grandfather's soul, so she didn't even dare to come out.
The girl seemed to notice this strange girl, and she felt a little uncomfortable, but she didn't know how to speak, so she had to say softly: "Thank you." ”
My sister felt that she hadn't helped much, and when she heard thank you, her face turned a little redder and said, "No thanks." ”
The girl didn't know how to continue the conversation, so she went straight to the stern of the boat and began to rock.
My sister hurriedly chased after her and asked, "Where is the girl going?"
The girl was only concerned with herself rocking, and she was really in no mood to say a word, but this strange girl had just helped herself, how could she ignore others, so she replied, "I want to bury my grandfather on this shore." ”
My sister hurriedly ran to the stern of the boat and told my brother: "Brother, I'm going to play on the shore for a while, you can come along." ”
The small boat is in front, and the big boat is in the back, sailing towards the riverbank.
Luoshui flows eastwards and finally enters the main stream of the Huai River. There is a wild dragon beach in the northeast twenty miles to the junction of Huailuo, there is a bandit village on the wild dragon beach, more than 200 water bandits gather on it, and they rob in Huailuo and Luozhou all the year round.
The five people of Yuanshu, wearing Xuanmen uniforms, drove the boat towards Yelongzhai.
Guibei behind him asked, "Uncle Shi, there won't be any problems with this, right?"
Gui Nan on the side said: "We are going to suppress bandits, what can be the problem?"
Gui Dong in front of him asked Yuanshu tentatively: "Uncle Shi, what if the second bandit leader Wu doesn't do it?"
Yuan Shu said softly: "Then kill him." ”
Guixi chased after him and asked, "Then who will help us rob people?"
Yuanshu turned around and stared at Guixi, and said with a smile: "You, without Wu Lao Er, you can be the head of Yelong Village, and when the time comes, you can just go and take someone with you, Wu Lao Er is not important." ”
Guibei asked again: "I heard that there are more than 200 people in that bandit village, can the five of us do it?"
Yuan Shu said: "This is a bandit, you can show your skills." Even two hundred people from the countryside can't handle it, so you should commit suicide and apologize, so as not to disgrace the reputation of Xuanmen. ”
The crowd said no more.
Yelong Beach is surrounded by water on three sides, and the road into the mountain is enclosed by a wooden fence wall; there are two or three small boats swimming slowly near the tidal flats, one person rowing on the boat, two people holding knives on guard, and their heads are wrapped in scarves, which are no different from those costumes of the five Yuanshu people, but they are not masked.
As soon as the five Yuanshu approached, two small boats stopped them.
The water bandit at the head asked, "Who is here?" ”
Gui Dong came out and replied, "Let your eldest Wu and the second child come out." ”
Water bandit: "Boss, did you just see it?"
Gui Dong mobilized his true qi a little, and slapped it with one palm, and the three water bandits on the boat fell into the water one after another.
Gui Dong said, "Can I see you now?"
The bandits on the other boat saw that their accomplices had fallen into the water, and quickly blew a whistle. In a moment, more than twenty boats rushed out from all sides and surrounded them.
Yuan Shu looked at it, instantly mobilized his true qi, gathered it in his palms, and slapped it forward, only to see two rays of true power emit like lightning;
The bandits on the boats in front of them were shivering, some of their pants were still wet, and the bandits on the other boats were also dumbfounded, knowing that if the palm was slightly deflected, they would definitely die on the spot.
Gui Dong raised his voice and said, "Now you can let Wu Lao Er come out, right?"
Where did the little head among the water bandits dare to slack off, so he quickly jumped into the water and swam ashore to report. The other bandits got out of the way.
Yuan Shu patted his sleeve and said, "No, let's go see the master of Wuzhai by ourselves." ”
When the water bandits heard this, they led the way in front.
Yuan Shu and the others walked about two miles away, only to see a big man in front of them.
The little head of the report just now pointed at Yuanshu and the others and said, "Boss, these are the people." ”
The big man in the shape of a big man was Wu Lao Er, and he looked at the costumes of Yuanshu and the others: "My Yelongtan has always been with the well water of Xuanmen and the river water, I don't know what to do?"
Gui Nan stepped forward and said, "Come and destroy you." ”
Wu Lao Er shook his head: "You guys are bullying me too much, there is no one in Yelong Beach, right?" With that, he waved his big hand, and up and down the mountain, more than a hundred and ten crossbowmen suddenly appeared inside and outside the wall. Some of the arrowheads were dripping with green juice.
Gui Dong and the others stood still in all directions, and suddenly raised their qi at the same time, exercised their skills, and made moves, and their true power swept out.
The water bandits are nothing more than the strong people in the countryside, where they have been attacked like this, they feel that the wind is blowing, and they fall down completely untenably, and some of them even fall, and their bows and crossbows and arrows are scattered all over the ground.
The four of them were just trying to bluff people, and they didn't make a death move. So the bandits only fell in pain, and were not injured. Yuan Shu stared at Wu Lao Er and said, "Master Wu Zhai, how about we talk about a deal?"
Wu Lao Er looked at the remnants of his defeated army all over the ground, angry but helpless: "What deal is there to talk about now?"
Yuan Shu said directly: "If you agree, I will spare you today." If you don't agree, burn down your village today to eliminate harm for the people. How?"
As soon as Wu Lao Er heard that he had a chance to live, he was like grasping a life-saving straw, and kept nodding: "Agree! Agree!"
Yuan Shu looked at this guy, and finally realized the calculation in his heart, and his heart was also relieved: "Okay, you come here with your ears." ”
Wu Lao Er hurried over with his ears tight.
It turned out that Yuanshu wanted the water bandits in Yelong Beach to hijack the girl and send it to himself.
Wu Lao Er thought it was some kind of hard work to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, but when he heard that it was an ordinary woman, his heart suddenly felt more relaxed.
After Yuan Shu finished explaining, he warned: "Don't reveal our identity, and don't say that we let you go, otherwise... You know it in your own heart. ”
Wu Lao Er instantly understood that this kind of murderous and overselling business is not easy to do. That's what he did, and since then he has been hooked up with Xuanmen, and he will never be afraid of anyone in the future; ”
On the bank of the river, my sister helped the girl to build a small mound. The two worshipped their grandfather and came to the water's edge to scrub the dirt and blood on their bodies.
After some cleaning, the two turned back into two radiant girls. My sister glanced at the girl, a little stunned, this girl is really beautiful beyond words, my sister is already a famous beauty in their Fengzhou City, but seeing this girl next to her is still a little sighing.
My sister thought about it, such a beautiful girl, I don't know the name yet, so I introduced myself: "My name is Fengling, what do you call the girl?"
The girl dipped her sleeve in her face and replied, "I, my name is girl..."
Feng Ling looked puzzled, and said inwardly: "Such a beautiful girl, it is actually such a simple name." ”
The girl suddenly remembered her grandfather's words, and hurried back to the cabin, where she searched for the box that her grandfather had spoken, and finally took out a small dusty box under the bed. She opened the box and saw that there were folded baby clothes and swaddling clothes, these clothes were some fine fabrics, she carefully took out these clothes, and finally found a palm-sized jade pendant at the bottom of the box.
She picked up the jade pendant, she quickly took it out and handed it to Feng Ling: "There is my name on it." ”
Feng Ling picked it up and took a look, and found that it was a good ancient jade, which felt particularly warm and heavy in his hand, and saw that the front border was auspicious cloud ornamentation, and there was an inscription of two words in the middle: "Mu Ge".
The girl pointed to the above two words and said, "This... That's my name. ”
Feng Ling was overjoyed: "So your name is Mu Ge?"
Mu Ge The girl also heard these two words for the first time, it turned out that this was the real name; the girl was a little excited: "Mu... Mu Ge... It turns out that my name is Mu Ge. ”
Feng Ling looked at the girl's demeanor and seemed to understand something, thinking that this girl was also the first time she knew her name.
But why did she know her name? Feng Ling pondered in her heart: Thinking that she and her grandfather should not be very literate, this ancient jade is very valuable and she dare not easily ask others, for fear of causing a disaster, it is estimated that she has been screaming since she was a child, and slowly the girl will really become the name of this girl.
The girl kept staring at the ancient jade, for fear of falling to the ground.
Feng Ling came back to her senses, blushed a little, and hurriedly returned Gu Yu to her.
The girl took Gu Yu and looked at it over and over for a while, and finally her eyes fell on the word Mu Ge, and her hand kept rubbing the word "Mu Ge", as if she wanted to polish these two words a little brighter, so that everyone could see at a glance that her name was "Mu Ge".
At this time, in the lower reaches of Luoshui, a big boat carrying hundreds of porters was going upstream, and the appearance of the leader was Wu Laoer, the owner of Yelongtan...
