Chapter 35: How Moist Are the Days?
Yang Chenkut sat in the room where Zhang Xuelian had lived for more than ten years, his eyes were empty, staring out the window, and he was silent for a long time. His mind recalled the scenes with Zhang Xuelian when he was a child. For more than ten years, Zhang Xuelian has not changed much. There is not much difference from this portrait back then.
Who was his master, and who did he kill back then?
All kinds of doubts pressed him a little out of breath.
Yang Chen held this portrait, never thinking that after he and Zhang Xuelian separated, the only thing that could evoke memories of the past was this reward that could claim his master's life.
"Maybe I'm too worried, the court couldn't help him back then, and at this time today, I can't help her. It's just that for more than ten years, the 400,000 bounty seems to have only increased, who did my master kill back then? Yang Chen was curious in his heart, and he refused to give up for more than ten years.
Time can kill everything, and in the same way, bounty can be consumed.
It's amazing that a bounty can exist for more than ten years.
"My master left, just afraid that it would involve me and Zuiyuelou, but how could I put myself out of the way. I don't know what year or month it will take to meet my master again. If I want to know the truth, I have to go to the starting point where all this happened, the capital...... The imperial court, the royal family! Yang Chen muttered to himself.
Only when he gets there, he may be able to find out the beginning and end of the dusty events more than ten years ago in the fragmentary clues.
"The capital ......" Yang Chen muttered to himself: "Well, no, maybe there is another person who knows." ”
Thinking of this, Yang Chen immediately set off, picked up the 'Water Covering Sword Technique' on the ground, put it in his arms, and went directly to the Drunken Moon Tower without being in a hurry to read it.
The bustard was rubbing rouge powder in the room at this time, and you can't deny a woman's love for beauty, even if it's an older woman. Don't look at the crooked melons and cracked dates of the old bustard, but she is no worse than the other girls in the Qinglou when she dresses up.
It's just that Yang Chen thinks that it is a bit redundant for Qiu Laobuar to apply like this, because not all women are suitable for makeup.
Otherwise, the word rouge vulgar powder would not have appeared.
At this time, Yang Chen abruptly pushed open the door, startling Qiu Laobustard, and exclaimed: "Yang Chen, why are you here, you don't look at the door when you come in, you just learned from those girls." ”
Yang Chen saw Qiu Lao Bustard sitting in front of the bronze mirror and smearing his paintings, and said with his eyebrows: "Aunt Qiu, I want to ask you a question!" ”
"What's wrong with you?" Qiu Lao Bustard stared at Yang Chen, she had been wandering the rivers and lakes all the year round, and her eyesight was rich, and she saw Yang Chen's solemn and serious expression at a glance, but she was immediately surprised: "Did something happen?" ”
"My master is gone." Yang Chen sighed.
"Gone?" Qiu Lao Bustard was stunned: "Where did she go?" ”
Yang Chen sighed: "I don't know, but she left this time, and she doesn't think she will come back." ”
Hearing this, Qiu Lao Bustard was stunned, and then whispered: "Alas, I already knew that this day would come, your master is not an ordinary person, and her identity and origin are very mysterious." When she suddenly wanted to hide in my drunken moon building, I knew that she was not simple, but I didn't expect that she was still gone today, and there should be some things she didn't finish to do. ”
After more than ten years of friendship, Qiu Lao Bustard was somewhat lost and sad, but after all, he was more open than Yang Chen, and returned to his original state in a blink of an eye, and after sighing softly, he shook his head.
Yang Chen was slightly stunned when he heard this.
Could it be that the old bustard doesn't know the origin of his master?
He was still unwilling to ask: "Aunt Qiu, how much do you know about my master?" ”
"Back then, when the city was in chaos, I was a woman running around, and I encountered those bandits looting, and I was almost dying. It was your master who saved me. In return, I took your master to the Drunken Moon Tower. By the way, you were so old at that time, others thought that you were picked up by me, but in fact, only I knew that you were your master's apprentice! Where am I so lucky to be able to pick up such a good child as you. The old bustard sighed for a long time.
"Didn't my master tell you anything about her?" Yang Chen said.
What the bustard said was most likely after his master escaped from Wanzhou and came to Xuzhou.
Qiu Lao Bustard shook his head: "She didn't say it, so naturally I won't ask." In fact, Yang Chen, your master never told you where she came from, so why didn't he feel sorry for you? It's not good for everyone to tell her where she came from. Looking at your appearance, you must be worried about your master. ”
"She's my master, how can I not worry?" Yang Chen knew that the bustard was very smart, so he could guess his mind and said.
Qiu Lao Bustard put down the rouge and said in a serious voice: "Yang Chen, although I don't know what your master did back then, but sometimes, what a person does, only she can solve by herself, and others can't help much." It's as if you were caught by the government today, outsiders want to help, but in fact, the only person who can save you is yourself. ”
When Yang Chen heard this, he sighed heavily: "Aunt Qiu, do you know where I come from?" Has my master ever talked to you? ”
"I don't know." Autumn bustard said.
"You really don't know?" Yang Chen then said.
Qiu Lao Bustard was forced to ask by Yang Chen like this, he was stunned, and said cautiously: "I said that you jumped out of the stone, do you believe it?" ”
"......" Yang Chen rolled his eyes: "Can you be reliable?" ”
"Don't say it, if someone wants to say that to me, I really believe it. The monkey that popped out of the stone is a demon, why can't you pop out of you? I have lived for more than 50 years, and I have never seen a young baby like you. Can ordinary people give birth to a demon like you? The old bustard said.
Yang Chen said angrily: "Aunt Qiu, I'm down to business." ”
"Then you see, I said I don't know, and you still don't believe it. Is it easy for your Aunt Qiu, I know that your master's identity is not simple and still take her in, and I am worried all day long. Where do I dare to ask your master about her and you? Sometimes, it's better not to know than to know. Qiu Lao Bustard continued to paint again: "Moreover, what do you want to do so much, your master has good skills, where can you go in this world?" ”
"On the contrary, it's you, who look at a few girls every day in our drunken moon building, and occasionally take the room to play, and they don't charge you money, how happy are your days? After the New Year this year, Aunt Qiu, I will tell you a beautiful daughter-in-law, won't your life be nourishing at that time? ”
Yang Chen...... Yang Chen! ”
Qiu Lao Bustard took another look and found that Yang Chen had long since disappeared.
"This kid, I think the girl from the Liu family next door is very good, and I was about to talk to him, but she disappeared in a blink of an eye." Qiu Lao Bustard said angrily.
