Chapter 42: Eight Years of Torture
After searching for a while, Chen Que returned fruitlessly, and before leaving, he praised Chu Shenxia, what young man should look high and far. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
King Shun sat down on a stone bench in the garden, one arm resting on the table, and the expression on his face was serious and anxious.
Chu Shenxia put away his gesture of sending off the guest, thinking that he was going to say something, so he sat down with him. But seeing that his eyes were glazed, he looked at the ground for a long time, and he didn't spit out half a word.
Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps in the corner of the wall, and King Shun quickly raised his head, swept his gaze over the wall, caught a wild cat, and lowered his eyes again at the gentle call of the night cat.
Chu Shenxia basked lightly and said, "Your Highness is waiting for Ruoyu?" ”
"Hmm." King Shun replied subconsciously, paused, and added, "I don't know if she can catch up with the man in black." ”
"Can't catch up." Chu Shenxia squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the corner, the wild cat kept circling around the water tank, jumping up and down the ground without stopping, poking his head into the water tank from time to time to take a look, and jumping down very quickly.
"I think so too, that person is very good at light skills, and he is not under Ruoyu." King Shun frowned, and sighed very lightly after speaking.
Chu Shenxia suddenly laughed three times, and when he saw King Shun's gaze, he hurriedly explained: "I'm joking at that wild cat, I obviously want to eat the fish in the water tank, but I don't dare to stretch out my claws to catch it, I can't eat it if I want to, so I can only be anxious to spin around the water tank." ”
King Shun looked at him expressionlessly, his face turned from white to blue, knowing that he had the intention of scolding Huai, but he didn't know what to reply for a while, and paused for a long time before he said, "How do you know that it wants to eat fish?" Even if there are no fish in the tank, it will behave this way, because it is in its nature. ”
Chu Shenxia nodded clearly, and agreed with his statement, King Shun even had a good deal with it, but he didn't even refute it, and his mouth opened and said a word you, so he didn't know what to say.
"Peng!" A person suddenly jumped down from the wall and called out very softly: "Your Highness." ”
King Shun reflexively jumped up from the stool at once, staring at her firmly as if he wanted to see her through, but said in a leisurely tone: "Why didn't you even catch someone?" ”
Ruoyu bowed his head and said nothing, slowly stepped forward, grabbed a jade pendant and handed it to King Shun, and said coldly: "It's dead." ”
King Shun was about to take the jade pendant, but when he heard her say so indifferently that he was dead, his hand couldn't help shaking, and he didn't take the jade pendant after all, but glared at Ruoyu angrily.
Chu Shenxia reached out to take the jade pendant, but was caught by Ruoyu and refused to let go of half a point, Chu Shenxia looked at her in amazement.
Although her eyes wandered on the ground, she seemed to be able to see Chu Shenxia's surprised expression, and said persistently: "Please Your Highness see whose jade pendant this is?" ”
King Shun noticed her abnormality, stretched out his hand to take it, the upper part of the jade pendant still has the temperature of Ruoyu, but the lower part is very cold, it is a hollow pattern jade pendant, which is very common in the Southern Song Dynasty, there is nothing special about it, and I can't remember who it is for a while, so I shook my head at the moment.
"Princess Yongming." Ruoyu raised his eyes and watched King Shun slowly spit out these words.
King Shun's fingers swiped the pattern on the jade pendant, and blurted out: "Is it Yongming?" This jade pendant is very ordinary, not like she used..."
Halfway through the words, the chill in her eyes stopped, King Shun didn't understand where he said something wrong, Chu Shenxia hurriedly answered: "It may also be that someone else gave it, since you know this jade pendant, presumably this jade pendant was given to Yongming by half of it." ”
Ruoyu nodded, but King Shun immediately retorted: "Yongming doesn't like it, and it is possible to reward it to his subordinates." ”
Ruoyu looked at King Shun expressionlessly, and said word by word: "I went to the shop with Banrong to pick it up, and the princess was very happy at the time, saying that she would take good care of this jade pendant." ”
King Shun frowned, and said, "Could it be that you mean that Yongming is the murderer?" Is this possible? She is a princess who is powerless, and she has no one she knows in the Southern Song Dynasty, what is her purpose? ”
King Shun's voice became louder and louder, and even the cat in the corner was startled, and jumped into the grass with a "meow", Ruoyu always looked at him coldly, and suddenly sneered silently, with a slight disappointment on his face.
King Shun was dissatisfied with her reaction and reprimanded, "What are you laughing at? ”
"I laugh that Your Highness was carried away by love, and even basic judgment was lost!" Ruoyu looked directly into his eyes, without the slightest intention of retreating.
"You..." King Shun tightened his face, took a step forward, gritted his teeth and only had time to say a word, and was inserted between the two by Chu Shenxia in time.
Chu Shenxia said with a smile: "Your Highness has His Highness's thoughts, Ruoyu is right, why don't you sit down and talk slowly?" ”
King Shun's gaze always fell on Ruoyu's face behind Chu Shenxia, and he snorted coldly: "What is there to say, isn't this matter in charge of the Sixing Temple?" ”
After speaking, he turned around hatefully, and walked away, Chu Shenxia turned back helplessly, looked at Ruoyu and said, "Your Highness has gone back, you..."
Ruoyu nodded, and before he could finish speaking, he followed and walked away.
A cat meow came from the grass, Chu Shenxia's eyes fell on the grass, and he shook his head with a wry smile: "I am arrogant, and I poke each other with blood." ”
"Who's dripping with blood?" Jing Yan's voice came from behind, Chu Shenxia looked back and saw that it was him, smiled gently, bowed his mouth towards the stone bench, and motioned for him to sit down.
He yawned and said in a long voice: "I was just passing by here, and I saw a stupid person standing here talking to himself, and he came in to take a look at it with curiosity, he was so sleepy, I had to go back to sleep." ”
Chu Shenxia blinked lightly and said softly: "Thank you for protecting my mother today." ”
Jing Min's movement of stretching his waist stiffened, this was the first time he heard Chu Shenxia say thank you to him, his heart was extremely sore, his eyes were suddenly a little wet, no matter how reluctant he was, he couldn't pull out a smile.
Chu Shenxia saw that he lowered his head and didn't speak, so he also lowered his head, and said sincerely: "For so many years, you are just like my brother, and I have been thinking that if Shen Yu is alive, he will be as old as you." Jing Yan, as an elder brother, I advise you, don't get involved in the dispute between the Son of Heaven, there has never been a strategist who has a good end, your martial arts are so good, you could have been a general on the battlefield. ”
Chu Shenxia's words passed into his ears one by one, but they were as heavy as a mountain and pressed on his heart, making him breathless. Knowing him until now, I have never heard him say such heartwarming words, and I have never heard the word Shen Yu from his mouth, Jing Min took a slight breath of cold air, trying to calm himself down, but the tears in his eyes seemed to be unable to calm down, the more he lowered his head, the more tears had to fall out of his eyes, Jing Min endured his trembling voice, and said lightly and quickly: "I will think about it." ”
One was about to leave sideways, and Chu Shenxia hurriedly shouted, "Jing Yan." ”
He stopped in response, Chu Shenxia seemed to be a little excited, and his throat slid a few times before he spit out a few words: "If something happens, just tell me and I will help you." ”
"Okay." Jing Yan spit out the word with great difficulty, tears could not stop sliding down, and his footsteps disappeared from in front of him.
He gritted his teeth and tried his best to control his emotions, but the tears and snot on his face were clumped together, and he couldn't stop flowing down, and ran back to the room in one go, slammed the door shut, leaned weakly against the door, and opened his mouth to roar but could not make any sound.
After a while, he sobbed and spit out two words, "Big brother." ”
It's been eight years, and since the day he came alive, he was announced by the outside world that he was no longer called Chu Shenyu, but Jing Yan. He also fought with his grandfather, and he had to go back to Chu Mansion no matter what, but his grandfather didn't allow it, locked him up and forced him to practice, no one knew better than him how the martial arts of the Toothless Set were practiced, and he didn't want the cheats that people in the world were fighting for, but he couldn't help it.
Hunger strike, suicide, cliff jumping, he tried everything he could, and later, the heart that wanted to go back died. Grandpa told him that if the secret technique of reviving him was known, the Kyushu continent would be in chaos, and he would never allow him to reveal his identity, if that was the case, he could only choose to kill him the moment he escaped.
Even though he was his favorite grandson, he didn't have a point.
Toothless concentrated martial arts are either yin or yang, soft or rigid, open or closed, relaxed or open, in just one year, he has become neither male nor female, even if he is dressed as a woman, no one will recognize him as a man. No one can empathize with this kind of pain.
Later, his grandfather finally couldn't resist him and brought him to the gym to live with Chu Shenxia, although Chu Shenxia always had a posture of rejecting people thousands of miles away, but after all, he still couldn't resist the soaring blood flowing in his body, and finally accepted him, this may be the psychological induction between brothers.
He wanted to tell Chu Shenxia more than once that he was Chu Shenyu, the Chu Shenyu who would one day wear a battle robe, go to the battlefield, swing his sword sonorously, and sprinkle his blood.
Every time I saw my mother smiling at Chu Shenxia, she called softly: "Xia'er." "It's like thousands of ants crawling in my heart, itchy, but it doesn't hurt.
For so many years, he told himself that it was a blessing to be by his family's side, and he gradually let go of the case back then, and if it happened again, he would never be so impulsive.
He lived like this without pain, stealing his days from Yongming, and he didn't know when he would die, let alone whether he was alive or dead now, many times he doubted that he was alive, but his heart was not alive.
Hearing what he said today, his heart was still tumbling uncontrollably, and when he heard the long-lost word Shen Yu coming out of his mouth, the sourness he couldn't describe, a hundred times sour than all the green plums he had eaten in his life combined.
He thought that his heart was dead, he thought that he was mature and strong enough to lightly bask in the past, but a name aroused all his emotions, he shook his head, he couldn't do it, after eight years, he still couldn't let go.
