Episode 21: Undeniable
Qi Huan has always had an extraordinary curiosity about Bai Ya's life, and I have to admit that this is probably a kind of curiosity.
"I think you're weird." Qi Huan looked at him, "Like you said, you're also ...... Separate. The attitude towards those two children on an uninhabited island is somewhat expressive. And your experiences, your perceptions. β
Bai Ya replied calmly: "I also think you are quite strange." You said that you were born poor, but you know some martial arts and some yin and yang arts. Not to mention whether it is fine or not, but at this entry level, it is no longer like an ordinary child. β
"Well, I thought it was a big deal." Qi Huan raised his shoulders with a relaxed expression, "Although I am poor, I have been a scholar for the young master of a rich family." I know that it is not easy for children from rich families, and it is a matter of time and night. There are a lot of flying and domineering, which is raised by my father and mother. The young master I served was very hard, studying during the day, practicing martial arts at night, playing the piano and telling fortunes today, very tired. I've had the privilege of learning from it. There's no way, if it can't match the level of the young master, I won't be able to eat this mouthful. β
Jun Aoyan moved his neck and turned his head to look at him a little stiffly. Pouring out the words that had been held in her heart for so long, she felt much more relaxed. Maybe it's a good thing to do this, because the burden seems to be lifted, and second, because I don't know when I will be able to go back, even if they all die here, it's a seal. She was silent for a while, and then asked Qihuan:
"What happened to that young master?"
"Dead."
"Why?"
"Alas, Mom and Dad are urging hard, forcing out the problem." Qi Huan was a little disappointed, it seemed that he had a deep relationship with the young master, "If you don't memorize a good book on weekdays, or if you don't dance a sword, you will be scolded and beaten...... Even playing chess with his father and making a mistake that shouldn't be wrong, he had to be reprimanded, saying that he was not focused, not serious, and not attentive, from learning ability to family ethics, and at the end of the book, a review of several hundred words was added. He also had a bunch of texts, I couldn't read it, so I secretly copied it for him, and I didn't want his mother to find out, and I sued, and we were beaten together. Speaking of which, during my time in the house, I was beaten less than the young master. β
"Ah...... I used to be pretty much the same. Jun Aoyan smiled bitterly, "But you can't learn anything, it's all work." If you don't do it, you have to live. Presumably, it's the same for this young master. β
"Well, you don't know anything. Ever since I met you, I thought if he had half as much courage as you. There are ignorant subordinates in the house who bully the young master's weak temperament, and more people are distressed. And the young master is really a good person, he has never been angry with me, and he can still think of me when he has any delicious and fun things. And then ...... Once, when he was punished for standing, the friends on the neighboring street secretly called us out to play in the water. Who knew that the mountain stream suddenly became turbid that day, and the clouds said that they would change their faces, and it rained heavily. His father and mother rushed over with his subordinates and yelled at him to come back, and we all came up, and although he knew the water, he was angry and couldn't go ashore, so he was swept away by the water......"
"I'm afraid this young master is not strong enough in his spiritual roots." Bai Ya's tone was light, "Otherwise, you can summon fire and water without a charm." β
"Yes, it's because of his poor foundation that he is always forced by his father and mother to practice. I was really scared at the time, I was afraid that the young master would die, and I was also afraid that I would have no food to eat, and being beaten and punished was secondary. These two things actually carry the same weight in my heart, and I think it is also due to my selfish personality. There's no way, I grabbed food with my brothers and sisters since I was a child, and I can't be generous. I couldn't sleep that night, afraid that he would turn into a water ghost and find me, so I never thought about a dream, in which the young master said that he was going to die, and he had to intercede for us to give his father and mother a dream. I don't know if this thing is true or false, and this dream is false or real, but his father and mother really didn't make it too difficult for us, but just recommended a good person to me and let me continue to work. After the death of their son, they dismissed many domestic servants and spent all day and night listless. Later, it seems to have declined, and it has something to do with his father's work. After that, I never dreamed of seeing that young master again, and I never heard from his family again. β
After listening to this story, the expressions of the two did not change much. But Qi Huan could guess that the two of them would not be like water, but would have some turbulent ripples. Seeing that no one spoke, Qi Huan asked Jun Aoyan again:
"By the way, can you tell me about your ...... Uncle Xi's business? I'm really curious, how did a great general as imposing as your father become close friends with such a scholar? He must be a close friend, seeing that he is very attentive to you. β
Ao Yan shook his head slightly: "I don't know much. Before picking me up, my father and Uncle Xi were already close friends. I occasionally asked, and my dad said that they were small and played with urine sludge together. β
"Huh?" Bai Ya suddenly raised his head, "Really? β
"It must be true."
"yes, I'm all about water."
ββ¦β¦β
Qi Huan rolled his eyes, feeling that his brain was twitching with anger, and it was estimated that Jun Aoyan was no better.
"Ignore him!" Qi Huan said angrily, "Even if you talk about it, he only talks nonsense all day long." β
Bai Ya's eyes widened slightly, and he looked somewhat innocent, as if the conversation just now was his heartfelt doubt, and he never had the slightest idea of making trouble. Jun Aoyan really didn't want to worry about him, so he continued.
"He was happy to mention to me that it was all fate. Don't look at Uncle Xi's current appearance, he blocked the knife for my father when he was a child. My father said that he had a temper temper since he was a child, and he actually had a quarrel with a bandit. Uncle Xi rushed up and took a knife for him, and then was pushed away by the bandits. After they left, my father was afraid that carrying him on his back would make the wound deeper, so he insisted on bringing him back. Then there was a war, and they dispersed. Coincidentally, when my father first started leading the army, he went to some remote areas. Although Uncle Xi is serious in his studies, he is a little brainless, he can't do things, and although he has gained fame, he is not welcomed, and he has not been promoted. Later, he was assigned to my father because he spoke too straight, and the two met again...... Later, they traveled to many places, and sometimes, they met again again. It's probably fate. β
"That sounds interesting. It's good, there are more friends, it's easy to walk-" Qi Huan stretched his arms, stretched his waist, and wrapped his arms around the back of his head. But as if he remembered something, he suddenly sat back and asked Aoyan:
"You don't have a partner for Uncle Xi, right?"
"Haha...... He doesn't have a woman's relationship. β
"But your father is a talent, why hasn't he married yet?" Qi Huan quipped, "It's not for you, I'm afraid of finding a bad stepmother to beat and scold you." β
"I'm not afraid, and he's not afraid. And we all believe in his eyes. Jun Aoyan didn't feel offended, but continued to talk about the topic, "But...... He once fell in love with a young and beautiful local girl in a place called Qing Lize. That girl was very young, and I had a sister at that time. She was very nice, good to me and my father, and said that she would give up her current life to accompany us in the army and take care of me. β
Qi Huan leaned forward with great interest: "Wow, it's kind of interesting." So why aren't they together? β
ββ¦β¦ Hahaha, my dad has a little savings, and she cheated most of my dad's money. Later, we learned that she had a good friend locally, but neither of them had much money, so she did it on purpose. My dad wasn't the first victim. β
Bai Ya rarely interjected again, and couldn't spit out a tusk: "You guys are so easy to cheat when you fight?" The brain doesn't bend. β
"How can you be proficient in strategy if you can't turn around?" Ao Yan retorted with some displeasure, "I also learned later that she gave us all Gu." She even counted me in, for fear that I would see it and count her as smart. Otherwise, the money wouldn't have let her roll it up. β
"Did you get the money back?" Bai Ya asked lazily.
Later, the army received an urgent order to rush to other places to support, and the matter was over. I don't know what happened now. Forget it, let it be donated to the poor to do good deeds. It's just that my dad was disappointed for a while that he was deceived......"
"I didn't expect General Jun to be an infatuated person." Qi Huan sighed, "My mother and my father are in collusion, they love each other very much, they never want to come back with my father to see us when they patronize the business, and the money is all free by themselves." That's why I said that by defaulting to the fact that all parents love their children and that all children should be loyal and filial, this is 'generalizing to the whole', and not everyone can do it. Hey, by the way, Lao Bai, what kind of person is your mother? β
The atmosphere finally eased down, and the previous tense atmosphere was swept away, and the three of them chatted in front of the campfire like this. Originally, Bai Ya closed his eyes and recuperated, and he didn't plan to get into the topic, and he didn't open his eyes when he was inevitably nominated by Qi Huan.
"I said my mother was born and I died."
"Well, your father will always tell you."
Bai Ya opened his eyes, and his gaze remained unchanged from before. There was no joy or sorrow in his eyes, and the two of them had only seen a long period of stagnant calm, and the occasional turbulent sense of ups and downs. Other than that, these eyes don't reflect anything.
"That's right." Bai Ya took some precautions off his shoulders, "But it's very limited." β
"Oh, we've all talked so much, can you satisfy my curiosity too?"
"Say to yourselves, what does it have to do with me? Don't look like you're going to walk together for a long time in the future. β
"Why are you like this! It's fair to say. β
"But there's really nothing to say."
Bai Ya's tone was very sincere. He spread his hands helplessly, and there was still silence in his eyes. The three of them didn't speak for a while, which seemed like Bai Ya had deliberately messed up the atmosphere - well, that is.
In the distance, the strange cries of creatures could be heard. Once it's quiet, those foreign lands and visions become hard to ignore and unforgettable. Bai Ya frowned, and made a lot of determination to organize the language. It's not that he doesn't want to say it, but he hasn't said it, and he doesn't know how to say it.
"My dad said my mother...... There is no real name. He may or may not know. You're rightβ" he looked at Jun Aoyan, "My father used to be from the Left Gate. β
"Ahh
"Zeng." He emphasized, "My mother changed her name after she came, and only my father is her real name." What her name is, my father didn't tell me, her surname is Hei, but she didn't give it on purpose. A pair of black yogs and white qiongs on this knife were their love tokens back then. The two of them ...... Kill people together and kill feelings, right? In the end, it is birth and death. Zuo Zhenmen is not against partners getting married, but the children have to be taught by them. β
"Tsk." Pray for the hwan to start again. And Jun Aoyan listened very carefully.
"Later...... My mother died on a mission, pregnant with me. My dad protected her very well, and she could be on her own. I don't know what happened, and I don't want to poke my dad's scar. She was pregnant with me, and she died. β
Jun Aoyan really thought it was a miscarriage: "This ...... It turned out to be ...... before you"
"Yes. My dad didn't have a knife for a long time. He cut open my mother's belly and dragged me out. β
Qi Huan and Jun Aoyan stopped talking. They stared at him, their eyes full of shock.
They don't know if it's the story that shocks them, or if it's ......
Bai Ya is so calmly stating the eye-popping history - this matter.
