Chapter 286: The Responsibility of the Head of the Clan

After listening to Chu Xingyue's words, it was simply an initiation for Chu He, and he didn't react for a long time.

It's just that after he came back to his senses, he looked at Chu Xingyue with heavy eyes, with an expression of wanting to say something.

Chu Xingyue knew that what she said so much would definitely attract Chu He's suspicions, so even if he had such an expression at the moment, she would not be surprised: "Big brother, if there is anything between you and my brother and sister, you might as well say it directly." ”

"Xiaoyue, have you had a hard time in the past two years?"

Chu Xingyue smiled: "Why would the eldest brother ask that?" ”

Chu He seemed to recall everything that was good in the past, and his deep expression gradually began to relax: "In my impression, you have always been ignorant of the world, from childhood to adulthood, you live like a blank sheet of paper, not stained with any dust and color, my father and I both think that you are precious, so I will block all the damage for you; I will not let you see ugliness, and I will not let you encounter danger; But this time when our brother and sister reunited, I found that you have changed a lot, and it is a thousand changes. At first, I didn't think it was wrong to face your changes, but after hearing so much about you, I felt more and more that it was not easy. Xiaoyue, I blame my father and I for not being good, knowing that the capital seems to be full of flowers, but in fact it is full of whirlpools, but we still sent you here; I am very relieved to see you like this, but I am also very distressed. ”

Chu Xingyue can understand Chu He's mood at the moment, in fact, she is not unfamiliar with his emotions at all; To be precise, this kind of emotion is experienced by every man, especially the man who has a daughter at home, and this incident is a lesson they must experience.

Chu Xingyue looked at Chu He with a smile, and that look made Chu He feel a little awkward: "What are you looking at me like this?" Or am I saying something wrong? ”

Chu Xingyue shook her finger and said, "Big brother, do you know what your mood is now?" ”

"What?"

"My family has the mood of a girl growing up, eldest brother, you should touch your conscience and ask yourself, did you not treat me as a sister in your heart, but raised me as a daughter?"

Chu He suddenly bluffed and scolded her: "You girl, you start talking nonsense again, what daughter is not a daughter, our two generations must not mess up." ”

Chu Xingyue endured her stomach that was about to hurt with laughter, and said, "Big brother, don't be nervous, I just made such an analogy." You and my brother and sister haven't seen each other for two years, and when we suddenly meet again, you think I've changed too much, but at the same time you're happy for my growth; However, I am worried that the reason why I have been able to grow rapidly is because I have suffered a lot. Then, you start to blame yourself and start worrying, isn't this just a clear way to see your children grow up happy and afraid that the process of growing up is my tears piling up? ”

After Chu Xingyue's analysis, Chu He really felt that there was a little bit of truth, and his mind seemed to be thinking like this.

Chu Xingyue stood up with a smile, came to Chu He and took the initiative to reach out and grab his generous and warm hand, "Big brother, don't blame yourself, don't worry, Xiaoyue is no longer the innocent little girl who needed the protection of you and her father when she stayed in the Jingbei Hou Mansion in Qingzhou, I am already married to *, and I can already buy and support a world independently." Yes, I had some sadness growing up, but I didn't think it was hard, it was a challenge for me, and I enjoyed it and was not afraid. ”

Chu He also grabbed Chu Xingyue's hand and gently stroked the top of her hair: "The little girl in our family has really grown up, okay, what I said just now is good, the children of our Chu family are born warriors, and what they like most is adventure and challenge, and they never lack courage; Xiaoyue, the eldest brother underestimated you too much in the past, and always felt that you were weak, but I didn't expect that my Chu family's prestige would not fall on you. ”

After receiving Chu He's praise, Chu Xingyue laughed brightly.

But thinking of the word 'born' mentioned in what he said just now, she thought of her and Chu He's identity, and her mood became heavy for a while.

Looking around, seeing that no outsiders were approaching them, Chu Xingyue lowered her voice and said to Chu He: "Brother, since you have received my letter, you must already know the things mentioned in the letter." ”

The reason why Chu He came to Chu Xingyue in a hurry was actually for this matter.

He pulled Chu Xingyue to sit opposite him, and replied to her in the same calm voice: "It seems that you know everything now, don't you?" ”

Chu Xingyue nodded and said, "Yes, eldest brother, is our mother really a member of the Tianding clan?" However, according to my understanding, the Tianding clan has not been born for a hundred years, and only three clansmen have come out of the clan to find their future patriarch over the years; If the mother is really a member of the Tianding clan, how did she leave the Tianding clan? DID YOU KNOW? ”

Chu He thought of his biological mother, and his face showed a painful and remembrative expression: "Xiaoyue, in fact, about our true identity, my father and I have decided to hide it from you for the rest of our lives from the moment you were born, because the four words of the Tianding clan are too heavy and too mysterious, if one day our identities are exposed, what awaits us will definitely not be a good end; Just like the mother's relatives, none of them received a good death. ”

"What do you mean by that, big brother?"

"It means that a hundred years ago, the Tianding clan suffered a catastrophe, most of the clansmen died tragically under the slaughter of the royal family of the four countries, and only a few people escaped through the secret passage under the protection of the masters of the clan; And my mother's relatives were not the ones who were lucky enough to leave, they were captured by some of the royal family of Shikoku and imprisoned day and night in a dark dungeon, living an unimaginably miserable life. Before her death, my mother had seen her grandparents skinned and scraped and turned into food for other people's mouths, and she also saw her own parents being dried and bloodied, and they died a very miserable death. In the end, her mother was able to survive because her father led the troops to fight and accidentally discovered the dungeon where she was being held and rescued her, which made her lucky to survive. ”

Although she had already guessed that Chu Bingyue's biological mother was a member of the Tianding clan, she never thought that her mother would actually experience this.

I didn't expect those people to be so frustrated, not counting killing people, but also imprisoning some people, in the eyes of those inhumane executioners, I am afraid that the people of their Tianding clan are really the food in their mouths.

The practice of imprisoning people is not like raising animals in captivity, they want to eat and pull them out to slaughter, but recently they don't want to eat them, so they tie them up with ropes and raise them, which can not only ensure the freshness of the meat, but also allow these people to reproduce the next generation, so that they will have a steady stream of food to enjoy.

Thinking of this, Chu Xingyue couldn't help but feel sick in her heart, covered her mouth and ran to the side quickly, and the doctor retched.

Chu He followed and chased after him, gently patting Chu Xingyue's back, and his voice was painful: "I didn't want to tell you these things, just because it's too bloody and heavy, I don't want to leave such a dehumanizing thing in your heart; But now that you know who we really are, I know I can't hide it from you anymore. Xiaoyue, I tell you this to make you vigilant, our identity is a secret, we must not tell others at will, otherwise one day, we may also become food in other people's mouths, and there will be no chance of survival. ”

Chu Xingyue looked at Chu He with tears in her eyes that were stained with retching: "Big brother, are you willing?" ”

"What do you want to say?"

Chu Xingyue stood up, but her slender figure was straightened up by her: "No one knows better than us that there is no such thing as immortality in this world, and the Tianding clan suffered a slaughter that annihilated humanity back then, because someone manipulated all this behind his back and deceived those ignorant people, so our clan suffered a catastrophe." ”

"For so many years, our people have been hiding, like rats in the gutter, living a life without hope and laughter.

Chu He's expression was also a little excited: "I naturally hate such days very much, but what can I do?" This is the case, now when people outside hear the four words of the Tianding family, it is like smelling bloody mosquitoes, and they can't wait to swarm them and bite them, what else can we think of except to hide and hide? ”

Chu Xingyue said with a firm expression: "There will be a way, the way is that we have to expose the conspiracy of the year and tell everyone that the royal families of the four countries that brought harm to the Tianding clan back then have become pawns in the hands of others, and the human flesh they eat and the human blood they drink are of no use to the immortality they desire; On the contrary, it is they who have turned themselves into beasts, and it is they who are talking about drinking blood. ”

Chu He didn't expect Chu Xingyue to have such a big courage, so he hurriedly clasped Chu Xingyue's shoulders and stopped her: "Don't Xiaoyue, you can't do this, do you know, if you do this, you will become the target of everyone." ”

"I know, it's just the eldest brother, I don't want to live a life in hiding, and there is one more thing I hide from the eldest brother, in fact, I am not only the descendant of the Tianding clan, I am also their future patriarch."

Chu He looked at Chu Xingyue in surprise: "Patriarch? How could it be a patriarch? …… Do you have an eye in the sky? ”

Sure enough, the eldest brother knows this.

Chu Xingyue said: "Yes, I have the eye of heaven, and it is also open; Big brother, since I know my true identity, I can no longer be an ordinary and simple girl like before, I am the patriarch of the Tianding clan, and I am their hope; I will take them home, I will dispel the pain and nightmare that they endured a hundred years ago, I will make them stand before the world with dignity, and tell everyone that even if we are gifted, we are just ordinary people, so no one can slaughter us for any reason or excuse; The most important thing is that I want to get justice for my people who died a hundred years ago. ”
