Chapter 12: Ruiwen's Heart Knot
The orange-red afterglow of the setting sun fell on the mountain, adding a faint color to Riven's short white hair.
Sitting on the edge of the cliff, looking at the red maple forest and the simple wooden house she made at the bottom of the hill, her eyes were extremely soft, and her mind couldn't help flashing a picture of the growth of the leaf wind.
Unknowingly, Ye Feng, who was once just a baby, has grown into a young teenager under her care. Although Ye Feng is playful and likes to be lazy, Ye Feng's nature is not bad. He has a positive and optimistic attitude towards life, a kind and innocent heart.
Immersed in deep memories, Ruiwen's cheeks were filled with a happy smile. Soon, however, the smile was replaced by guilt, worry, and fear.
The guilt was because she killed his parents, the worry was because she was afraid that Ye Feng, who was not good at learning, would be bullied alone in the future, and she was afraid that Ye Feng would know the truth......
The more she thought about Ruiwen, the deeper her heart knotted, she was afraid to face Ye Feng after knowing the truth. What would Ye Feng do if he knew that the sister who raised him, taught him the sword of the wind, and taught him how to behave in the world was not only a person with blood on his hands, but also an enemy of his parents?
Although she poured her heart and soul into cultivating Ye Feng as an adult, she was still afraid to face this matter. After thinking about it, Rui Wen still decided to let Ye Feng go to Ionia and let Ye Feng discover the truth by himself.
When he learns the truth, if he wants to kill her, she won't struggle. In fact, she also lived a very tired life, and was immersed in her sins almost every day.
Sometimes, Riven also hallucinates that countless souls who have fallen under her sword ask for her life. Or even having nightmares......
Death may be a relief for her now, and if she dies at the hands of her brother, it will not be the best ending for her.
It's just that she has a concern in her heart, and that is Ye Feng, her most beloved brother. In the past ten years of getting along, Rui Wen knows very well that her younger brother has a strong dependence on her. What will happen to her brother if she's gone? Will he take care of himself? Will he eat three meals on time and learn swordsmanship diligently? Will he erect a tombstone for her? Will he come to see her every year on her death day? He would......
Rui Wen rubbed her somewhat moist eyes, she was too worried about Ye Feng after she left her. But people have to grow up after all, even if Ye Feng doesn't know the truth, he has to learn to be self-reliant, and it is impossible to live with her for the rest of his life.
Thinking of this, Ruiwen's eyes showed a determined and resolute look. In another three years, she let Ye Feng go to Ionia alone.
When the time comes, she will have an end with Ye Feng there.
Blowing her nose, Rui Wen collected her complicated thoughts. She got up and looked at the south side of the red maple forest, just in time to see Ye Feng and Fiona returning.
Looking at the figures of the two, Rui Wen couldn't help but think that she could just use the fact that Ye Feng had sneaked out as an excuse to let Ye Feng, who was dependent on her, leave her.
With a gentle breeze, she leaped down and danced her wings as she pleased.
After a while, Rui Wen landed lightly in the red maple forest. Leaning against a maple tree, she waited quietly for the two to arrive.
Soon, Riven heard a rush of footsteps. Hearing the voice, Riven guessed that it was Fiona.
"Strange...... What about the little wind? I saw ...... just now" Rui Wen lowered her head, her left index finger and thumb kneading her chin.
Fiona, who hurried back, immediately stopped running when she saw Ruiwen's figure in front of her.
Fiona looked at Rui Wen who was leaning against the maple tree and closing her eyes for a nap, she was a little afraid to face Rui Wen.
She secretly ran out with Ye Feng to play without Rui Wen's consent today. It's okay now, she was bumped into by Rui Wen on the way back, and she and Ye Feng were dead.
What worries Fiona even more is that she is afraid that Rui Wen still knows that she has often run out with Ye Feng to play over the years. Rui Wen believed in her so much that she handed Ye Feng to her to practice the sword, but she lived up to Rui Wen's expectations.
The more she thought about it, the more guilty she became, and Fiona opened her mouth nervously, but she didn't know what to say.
After a long time, Fiona said: "Sister Ruiwen, I'm sorry......" At this moment, Fiona wanted to bury her head in the ground.
Riven opened her eyes and waved her hand to signal that Fiona didn't need to be nervous. She smiled and said, "Fiona, you don't need to apologize, and I'm not here this time to investigate the fact that you and Ye Feng sneaked out to play, but I have more important things to inform you."
When Fiona heard this, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief. But when she thought of the important thing next, Fiona couldn't help but wonder, "What's the matter?"
Rui Wen shook her head and said, "When Xiaofeng arrives, I'll tell you again, what about Xiaofeng?" I saw him enter the red maple forest behind you just now. ”
When Rui Wen asked this, Fiona's face instantly turned red. She was a little embarrassed and said, "Ye Feng...... Ye Feng he ......"
After a long time of sneering on the side, Fiona was still embarrassed to say it, it seemed that Ye Feng's delay had nothing to do with her.
After sixteen years as Ye Feng's sister, Rui Wen learned to be empathetic. She said with concern: "Seeing that your eyes are red and swollen, you must be crying, Xiaofeng made you angry again, right?" It's okay, don't be afraid, he just owes it to clean up, as long as you don't die, take him however you want. ”
Seeing that Ruiwen not only didn't blame herself, but also understood herself so much, Fiona was very moved. She rubbed her eyes, and tears of grievance filled her sockets again. Under Ruiwen's comfort, Fiona sobbed intermittently, releasing her grievances.
……
"Hello...... Hello...... Hello! Ye Feng took a sharp breath after sneezing, frowned and complained, "Hiss...... This Fiona is also really ruthless, and she does it for no reason, knowing that I can't beat her. ”
He rubbed his sore arm with both hands, he had been beaten so badly just now. Fiona beat him while saying that he deceived her feelings, and Ye Feng was speechless when she heard it. He didn't know where to provoke Fiona again, Fiona's anger was so big.
Even though he didn't know where he provoked Fiona, Ye Feng still apologized in person in the spirit of making Fiona angry. As a result, because of this apology, he was instead thought by Fiona that he was taunting and teasing her. He knew it would be like this, so he didn't bother to touch the mold!
Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, Ye Feng suddenly realized that if his sister found out that he ran out to play, he would definitely be tortured to death!
Whatever he wanted, Ye Feng didn't go far before he saw Rui Wen and Fiona.
With a stirring spirit all over his body, Ye Feng secretly said that it was not good. Judging by the situation, Fiona seems to have been caught by Riven, originally he thought that Fiona would go back early and not be caught, and if he was caught, he could rely on Fiona to defend him.
It's miserable, both of them have been caught, and as the mastermind, he definitely has no good fruit to eat. His lips squirmed, Ye Feng swallowed his saliva and moistened his throat. He silently walked towards Riven with a bitter face, and Riven stared at him like frost.
"Sister......" Ye Feng lowered his head weakly, not daring to breathe.
Rui Wen had a straight face, as if she was Ye Feng's sister and wanted to educate Ye Feng well. She said in a sullen tone: "Xiaofeng, you have stiff wings, you sneak out to play with your sister behind your back, and you bring Fiona badly!"
was caught, Ye Feng didn't dare to play tricks. He whispered, "Xiaofeng knows it's wrong......"
Rui Wen's eyes were tightly pressed into Ye Feng's eyes: "Your courage is getting fatter and fatter, since you can remember, I told you that we are hiding from the enemy, and you can't go out of the red maple forest without my permission, otherwise you will be found by the enemy, and our peaceful days will be gone, you are better, take your sister's words as a deaf ear!"
"Hey, I secretly ran out to play so many times, and I didn't see any enemies......" Ye Feng was a little unconvinced, and he muttered quietly.
Rui Wen's chest was so angry with Ye Feng that her chest fluctuated, and she said angrily: "You kid has a lot of skills, and you have learned to talk back to your sister, do you think I don't know about my sister?" Isn't it just going to the town to buy candy to eat? I dislike my sister and I locked you in this mountain forest, look at your little bit of interest, sister, I just keep pretending not to know, turn a blind eye, since you are so unconvinced, okay, I will fulfill you! ”
"Sister......" Ye Feng looked at Rui Wen in horror, for fear that his sister would mess around when she was angry.
Fiona was also frightened by Ruiwen's momentum, and she hurriedly interceded for Ye Feng: "Sister Ruiwen, I also have a share in this matter, you can punish me together!"
Rui Wen stroked her chest, calmed down a little anger, and said: "Sister fulfills you, since you want to go to the outside world so much, you can leave tomorrow, it just so happens that your Ionian parents haven't seen you for more than ten years, and you are also older, it's time to go back to your real home."
"Sister......" Ye Feng suddenly had the urge to cry, his sister was driving him away.
Rui Wen was also a little sad, but she still said strongly: "What are you crying about, don't you often sneak out?" Now I'm giving you freedom! ”
Ye Feng said stubbornly: "I want to be with my sister, I have been with my sister since I was a child, it was my sister who pulled me up, I can't be ungrateful, this is the ...... my sister taught me"
Rui Wen exhaled and said calmly: "Then do you remember that your sister told you that if you make a mistake, you will have to bear the price of this mistake?"
Ye Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he frowned and said, "Hmm."
"It's not once or twice that you sneak out to play, sister, I have forgiven your mistakes again and again, but you still talk back to my sister and me, is it wrong to add to wrong?"
"But......" Ye Feng was a little anxious, he wanted to defend but didn't know how to defend himself.
Rui Wen sighed: "Sister forgive you again, but you can't live with your sister for the rest of your life, learn swordsmanship for another three years, you can go, go to the outside world to have a good experience, and by the way, see your Ionian parents."
Ye Feng said hurriedly: "What about you, sister?"
"When the time comes, I will rush to Ionia before you do." Rui Wen said calmly.
"Sister, Xiaofeng knows that he is wrong, will you go to Ionia with me then?" Ye Feng is very dependent on Rui Wen, and he doesn't want to go alone.
Rui Wen's expression was solemn: "If you make a mistake, you have to learn to take it, listen to my sister's words, this matter is settled, only in this way can you remember the lesson."
Seeing that there was no room for reversal, Ye Feng nodded unwillingly.
Rui Wen finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Ye Feng soften. As Ye Feng's sister, she can't spoil him all the time, and she must also have a stern side. It is precisely because of this that Ye Feng's character will not go down the wrong path because he is too playful and too stubborn.
For educating Ye Feng's younger brother, Rui Wen has her own unique experience. Thinking of this, the corners of her mouth inadvertently crossed a shallow smile.
However, when she thought that in three years, her younger brother who had been cultivated for more than ten years would leave her, she couldn't help but feel a little sad......
