"Brother Yun, this is my home!"

Xiao Ruixue followed Gao Wuji along the northern section of the Qinhuai River, and finally came to a house located on the edge of the prosperous area, this house is not big, but there are high walls outside the courtyard, it should be a good house from the outside, according to Xiao Ruixue's estimate, how can it be worth two or three hundred silver. But as Xiao Ruixue entered the courtyard, she was stunned by the huge contrast between the inside and outside of the courtyard, only to see that the courtyard was empty and dilapidated, except for a small vegetable garden, there was nothing else, the so-called four walls of the house, but that's it.

Gao Wuji shouted into the house: "Mother, I'm back!" ”

Not long after, a woman in the house came out on crutches, her hair was mostly gray, she looked to be in her fifties, her face was dull, and her thin face faintly showed the beauty of her youth.

Xiao Ruixue said in her heart: "If Gao Feihu survives so far, he should not be more than fifty years old, but his wife is so old, it seems that he has been sick for a long time!" ”

When Mrs. Gao heard the voice, she slowly turned around towards the two of them, and a kind smile appeared on her face: "Wuji, are you back?" Why do you still seem to be carrying people? However, her eyes remained staring blankly ahead, as if frozen.

Xiao Ruixue was a little surprised: "The old lady's eyes? ”

Gao Wuji sighed and said, "My mother was blind very early. ”

Xiao Ruixue nodded lightly, her heart full of sympathy. Although she knew that Mrs. Gao couldn't see anything, out of respect for Gao Feihu, she still gave a salute and said: "Hello old lady, my name is Xiao Yun, everyone calls me Brother Yun, I am a friend of Brother Wuji, and I came to visit you today!" ”

Mrs. Gao's face bloomed with a smile, and she nodded again and again: "Good, good!" My family is reckless, and I usually have few friends, so Li Worm and Dwarf Tiger often come and go, and today there are more friends with your heart, and the old body is really happy! ”

Xiao Ruixue smiled faintly: "Where, Brother Wuji is straightforward and filial, and it is a blessing to be friends with him!" ”

Gao Wuji didn't seem to have heard others praise him like this, although he knew that Xiao Ruixue was just polite, he still scratched his head embarrassedly.

Mrs. Gao said: "Brother Yun is really polite! Mowgli, please come into the house and sit down. ”

Gao Wuji said angrily: "Oh! Brother Yun, let's go into the house and sit! He was in front of Mrs. Gao, and his tone was slightly naïve.

Entering the house, Xiao Ruixue saw that the house was no different from the courtyard, empty, except for a bed, a straw mat, a pot and a broken table, there was basically nothing. On the broken table, there is a spirit card, which is simply written with the words "the spirit of the ancestor Gao Feihu", although there is no half of the melon and fruit in front of the spirit card, and there is no half of the pillar of incense, but it is polished very brightly, and it is obviously often carefully taken care of.

It's just that Xiao Ruixue, no matter in her past life or present life, has lived a rich life, and she has never seen such a poor family, and then looking at the spirit of the flying tiger, she can't help but sigh in her heart.

Mrs. Gao and Gao Wuji suddenly became embarrassed, among which Gao Wuji's face was flushed, and Mrs. Gao smiled bitterly: "Hey, it's all because the old man is old and frail, I don't remember that there is not even a stool in the house, so Brother Yun smiled!" ”

"It's okay, where Brother Wuji usually sits, I can follow the customs!"

"I usually sit on the ground." Gao Wuji's face was slightly red.

Xiao Ruixue laughed and sat down on the ground, but the ground was also clean, and it could be seen that although the Gao family was embarrassed, Mrs. Gao was a happy person. However, Xiao Ruixue's sitting resolved a lot of embarrassment, and Mrs. Gao couldn't help but laugh and say nothing.

Xiao Ruixue and Gao Feihu were old enemies in their previous life, but they also cherished each other, she wanted to find out how Gao Feihu died and why his family was in such a predicament, so she deliberately looked at the spirit card and said: "The old lady's ancestor is named Gao Feihu, is it the same person as Gao Feihu, who is known as the first fierce general of Yan Kingdom?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Gao Wuji was stunned first, and Mrs. Gao was also a little distracted by this sudden question, and suddenly, she was surprised and said, "Brother Yun, how did you know about your late husband?" ”

Her question completely confirmed Xiao Ruixue's guess. Xiao Ruixue already had a draft in her heart, so she said: "That's the case, my father traveled to Yanjing when he was young, and unfortunately encountered a great disaster, but fortunately General Gao helped him. He has always been thinking of General Gao's great kindness, and since he was a child, he has mentioned to us General Gao's voice, smile and mighty deeds, so I have always admired General Gao, but I can't wait to see it. Today I heard Brother Wuji say that his father's name is Gao Feihu, I was surprised, but I was afraid that this is just the same name and surname, so I came here today to visit the old lady, and the second is to confirm the doubts in my heart! ”

Xiao Ruixue's words were false and real, although there were flaws, but Mrs. Gao was caught off guard and her thoughts were confused, but she really believed it. At this point, Mrs. Gao's blind eyes couldn't help but leave muddy tears, she hid her face and cried: "I really can't imagine that there are still people in this world who remember the kindness of my late husband!" ”

Gao Wuji was completely blinded, and he said solemnly: "Mother, what's going on, don't you keep saying that my father used to be a blacksmith, why did he become the number one general of Yan Country in a blink of an eye?" In fact, in Gao Wuji's fragmentary memory, he has always been skeptical of his father's statement that he is a blacksmith, but every time he asks Mrs. Gao, he gets such an answer, and he gradually believes that his father's identity has suddenly become the number one fierce general in Yan Kingdom, which makes him even more stunned.

Mrs. Gao cried and said: "Wuji, my mother doesn't dare to tell you the truth, my mother is afraid that if I tell you, you will be angry and run to take revenge!" ”

Gao Wuji was surprised: "What revenge?" Didn't my dad drown in the river by himself? ”

Xiao Ruixue glanced at Gao Wuji, and couldn't help but be a little speechless for his sluggish reaction. "Old lady, General Gao is the benefactor of my family, and I also want to know how he died!"

Mrs. Gao's memories were slowly opened, and the past history of the Gao family began to be told in her mouth.

The Gao family, originally a mixture of Han and Goguryeo, lived in the Bohai Sea, and was once the Bohai Wang clan. Later, due to the rise of Murong Xianbei and the establishment of the Yan State, the Gao family began to be loyal to the Emperor of Yan for generations in order to seek entry. When he arrived at Gao Feihu, he was relied on by the Emperor Murong Wang of Yan as a confidant because of his loyalty and bravery, and made great contributions to him on the battlefield, Murong Wang also favored Gao Feihu well in his life, and in the case that Gao Feihu already had a wife, he also took Gao Feihu, the daughter of the Xianbei nobleman Na Lou, as a concubine, that is, today's Mrs. Gao. However, ten years ago, Murong Wang died young, only twenty-nine years old, and his crown prince Murong Xu was only eight years old at the time. Murong Wang's younger brother Murong Feng looked at the wolf and was ambitious, and he secretly entangled his henchmen in order to seek the throne. Gao Feihu was in charge of heavy troops outside, and Murong Feng wanted to successfully usurp the throne, so he naturally had to buy Gao Feihu first, but Gao Feihu was only loyal to the little emperor by Murong Wang's kindness, and he was unwilling to join Murong Feng's ranks.

Although Gao Feihu was brave and resourceful on the battlefield, he was not politically savvy after all, Murong Feng finally succeeded in usurping the throne through various conspiracies and tricks, and he put the little emperor Murong Xu under house arrest while killing all the ministers who opposed him like Gao Feihu. The Gao family was almost slaughtered, and even Gao Feihu's daughter who had already married was not spared, when Mrs. Gao took Gao Wuji back to her parents' house to visit relatives, so as to avoid the disaster of annihilation, Mrs. Gao's maiden family Nalou clan was quite powerful, but it couldn't stop Murong Feng from wanting to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, so he had no choice but to let Gao Feihu's remaining cronies escort Gao's mother and son all the way to the south, and the cronies gradually disappeared in the pursuit and killing all the way, Mrs. Gao also suffered arrow wounds on the way to escape, and her eyes were smoked by poisonous smoke, but she survived, and fled to Jinling with the young Gao Wuji.

The mother and son who came to Jinling had no relatives, and Mrs. Gao had no choice but to sell the only remaining jewelry and buy their current house. However, due to the fact that Mrs. Gao's injuries at that time were not completely healed, she fell ill, and later her body became weaker, and her old injuries also flare-up from time to time, and she gradually lost her sight due to the sequelae of poisoning.

In order to bear the needs of life, and also to treat Mrs. Gao's illness, he urinated all over the business at a young age, worked as an apprentice for the butcher, and worked as a servant in a tavern, until he later met Li Worm and Dwarf Tiger, and under their introduction, he went to Ping'an Wharf to work as a porter, and earned a little more silver, but Mrs. Gao's high medical expenses for many years finally dragged down the family, resulting in the sale of everything that could be sold in the family, and finally ended up in the dilemma of being a family with four walls.

After listening to Mrs. Gao's narration, Gao Wuji's tears flowed down, and he was even more angry: "Mother, it turns out that my father died so miserably!" No, I'm going to Yanjing now, and I'm going to kill the Murong Feng who ruined our family with my own hands! ”

"Mowgli, my mother knows that you are such a personality, exactly the same as your father, so my mother has never dared to tell you the truth!"

Xiao Ruixue sighed with emotion in her heart, she couldn't imagine that Gao Feihu Hero I, in the end, ended up like this, no better than her previous life, but at least she didn't even have a descendant, unlike Gao Feihu who affected future generations. But Xiao Ruixue thought about it carefully and felt that it was wrong, this was obviously worse for herself! At this time, she saw that Gao Wuji was acting rashly, so she said coldly: "Murong Feng has become the emperor now, I estimate that even if you arrive in Yanjing, you may not even be able to touch the gate of the palace, and you will be dismantled!" ”

Mrs. Gao cried and said, "Brother Yun is right, you can't mess around!" ”

Gao Wuji said unwillingly: "Mother, the revenge of killing my father is not shared, can this revenge not be avenged?" ”

Xiao Ruixue said: "A gentleman's revenge, ten years is not too late, if you don't have the ability yourself, why should you take revenge?" ”

Gao Wuji gushed out anger: "I don't have any skills now, but I can learn!" ”

Xiao Ruixue asked casually: "What skills do you want to learn?" ”

"I want to practice martial arts, I want to be a general! One day, I will lead thousands of troops and horses to set foot in Yanjing and cut off Murong Feng's head to pay tribute to my father! ”

Xiao Ruixue's eyes lit up, and Gao Wuji's image in her eyes gradually overlapped with the Gao Feihu she knew in her previous life.
