Li Xiangru didn't leave directly, trampled on the rain, and slowly walked to the beggar who had broken his leg under the eaves.

The beggars were unkempt and ragged, and their beards were knotted with their hair.

Li Xiangru looked at the brother in front of him who used to love cleanliness, sighed slightly, gently put away the umbrella, squatted down next to him and shouted softly: "Brother Maoye, come with me?"

As if a familiar and unfamiliar cry from the depths of his soul, the beggar trembled, but did not immediately look up, and he saw a pair of delicate boots with a slight spring rain and dampness appear in front of him. Slowly raised his head, stared at the pale brain in front of him, his face returned to indifference after a long time, don't look over, his eyes were already moist, and he murmured:

"You shouldn't be here again, even after all these years, people are still looking for us, and I'm afraid they will use us as bait. I'm glad you're here, I'm already a wasted person, I can't do anything. For the rest, you can do it, and don't force it if you can't do it. There are few people in the Lu Jiajun anymore, I don't want to be unable to keep the only seedling, as long as someone gives the commander to the teacher and the brothers every year, and burns things, I am already very satisfied. Don't make unnecessary sacrifices. ”

The beggar is called Mao Ye, the youngest of the twelve guards of the commander. He is also the youngest brother who is most loved by the other eleven guards. When the young commander went out of the city and encountered a sneak attack by the Loulan army, he was seriously injured and was escorted back to the capital to recuperate and escape. On the way, due to a high fever, he was delayed for a few days and escaped the tragedy of being slaughtered in the Shuai Mansion.

To be alive is painful.

Mao Ye had been looking for the survivors of Shishuai's Mansion after he recovered from his injuries, and two years later he accidentally found Wang Qing's little sister in Ning'an Town, and he found Wang Qing along this line. Wang Qing ruined his appearance, but for the brothers who have been together day and night for more than 30 years, this kind of disguise is not enough.

Mao Ye angrily scolded Wang Qing, but Wang Qing only replied silently that he couldn't help it, and those people had taken his sister hostage. That was the only relative he was related to by blood in this world. Mao Ye can be understood, but not forgiven.

Mao Ye has a stubbornness in his bones, and after repeated defeats, Wang Qing could no longer bear his entanglement, so he broke his legs in a battle.

Mao Ye no longer has the ability to seek revenge.

Mao Ye wanted to kill Wang Qing, and they all knew each other very well.

Mao Ye did not get angry with others, and Wang Qing never handed over Mao Ye. They confronted each other like this for more than two years.

Mao Ye knew that he no longer had the ability to kill Wang Qing, so he kept waiting, and the only reason he was alive was waiting for the person who could kill Wang Qing to appear.

"Brother Mao Ye, that turmoil has passed, after the original conspiracy...... Nor did they dare to go beyond it. Even if you dare to continue the investigation, there is no need to worry. You don't have to, I'll find a way to heal you. Li Xiangru squatted down and persuaded without giving up.

Mao Ye smiled bitterly and secretly wiped away what he thought were fragile and embarrassing tears. There is the joy of reunion, but more of it is the bitterness of things and people. He patted his unconscious leg, raised his head and said, "Brother Xiaohu, there is no need to persuade me anymore." I'm a waste now, even if my feet are really cured, my cultivation will be useless. I'm very happy to hear your brother, and to see that you're still alive! I'm very happy......! It's also very tiring to live......"

When Mao Ye said the last sentence, his tone was full of exhaustion.

I didn't have the face to meet them, and after looking for so many years, I found Wang Qing, and I only found out by accident. He admits to having anything to do with the original conspiracy, and he admits to betraying us. The line of the commander was revealed by him to those people in the imperial court. I can't beat him, we know each other too well, he knows all my methods, those are what he taught me. He broke my leg and said that it was to prevent me from pursuing it, and even if I had the ability to track it down, I would not have the slightest ability to take revenge. ”

"Those ministers who had received the favor of the commander and the generals remained silent after the marshal's mansion was killed overnight...... We can't take revenge anymore, and I can't do it...... More than a dozen brothers were killed. I'm the only one left...... Whining...... I'm so tired......"

Mao Ye began to cry bitterly as he spoke, as if all his grievances had been vented at this moment.

Li Xiangru squatted down, his eyes full of sadness. He squatted down and put his hand on Mao Ye's shoulder and said, "Brother Mao, don't do this, I know you have done your best." You also said that there are not many people left from that time. The master has always regarded you as his brothers, and the reason for breaking your contract is to hope that you will become biological children and have a family of your own. Now, I also hope that you can live well, and leave the rest to me. ”

Lee Sang-ru's tone was full of sincerity and sincerity.

Mao Ye raised his head, looked at Li Xiangru with tears in his eyes, then smiled and said with relief: "You have grown up." If those older brothers knew that you were an adult, they would be happy. ”

Mao Ye smiled, turned his head to stare at the water droplets falling on the eaves, and remembered: "At the beginning, the master shuai lifted our deed of sale, and we all swore to follow the master to pacify Loulan, Loulan will not be destroyed, and we will never get married for the rest of our lives." We are all orphans, and without the old lady, we would have starved to death on the streets. My life is Lufu's, and my life only exists for Lufu. ”

"You know, many of the guards of big families can't even appear in front of the stage in their lifetime, let alone have a chance to be famous, compared to people from other families, how fortunate we are. In this life, I am very content, and my brothers have no regrets. Speaking of his brothers, he suddenly remembered Wang Qing, so he sighed.

Of course, Li Xiangru knew, so to speak, he grew up in the eyes of the commander and those guards.

He saw a lot with his own eyes and was exposed to a lot.

After the silence, Mao Ye had a sad face, tried his best to squeeze out a kind smile and shook his head at Li Xiangru, and said, "Don't persuade me anymore, I'm tired." I just want to watch Wang Qing die, and then I will continue to follow my brothers to continue to fight and kill the enemy with the division commander. Life is a person of the road, and death is also a person of the road!"

Mao Ye said very firmly and resolutely.

There was silence in the air again, and Li Xiangru didn't know what to say. His eloquence is actually good, but when faced with this scene and today's Mao industry, he can't say those comforting words.

To be alive is more tiring than to die.

Mao Ye thinks so, and Di Qing may feel the same way.

Li Xiangru stopped trying to persuade him, stood up and prepared to leave.

"Wait......" Mao Ye hesitated for a moment, but still called out to Li Xiangru.

Lee Sang-ru stopped.

"Little Tiger...... Try to ...... Arrange for the little sister to ...... Don't hurt them......"

Li Xiangru's body trembled slightly, his heart was like a knife, and after a while, he nodded and said, "If you don't care about your family, I won't touch them." I'll arrange two people for you, and they will take you to wash up and tell them what you want. Tomorrow, they will send you to the gate of the Marshal's Mansion, since I can't change your decision, then try to make some arrangements for you on the premise of respecting your decision. ”

When Li Xiangru said the back, with an irresistible tone.

Of course he knew who the little sister Mao Ye was talking about, it was Wang Qing's sister. Once those brothers were making fun of Mao Ye and Xiaomei, saying that they would let the two of them get married in the future, they thought it was a joke at the time, but now Mao Ye can still say this, maybe they really like it.

Lee Sang-ru stepped along, and the rain began to pick up, crackling on his tarpaulin umbrella. There are fewer and fewer pedestrians......

"Thank you...... Thank you ......."

Mao Ye just looked at Li Xiangru's back and disappeared into the rain. The rain from the eaves hit the ground and splashed onto his shirt and face. The mixed rain and tears in the eyes spread all over the face, it was joy and sorrow, and it was joy......

Mao Ye laughed, laughing lowly, and the laughter was drowned in the sound of the rain.

When Mao Ye's laughter stopped, two little guys walked over to him. did not dislike the dirty smell on Mao Ye's body in the slightest, and respectfully saluted Mao Ye and said, "Master Mao, the young master ordered us to take you to rest." ”

"It's hard work!" Mao Ye replied. The two of them picked him up and put him in a carriage.

............

Wang Qing did not receive the benefits of betrayal, money, official positions, he did not ask for it. He just wants his loved ones to live.

The family's guard is equivalent to a death guard, instilling loyalty to the family and loyalty to the master from an early age. It's just that Lu Changfeng is different from other family patriarchs, and he was born in Jiangmen more than robes. He treats them as guards as brothers, liberates their freedom, seeks for them relatives who are related by blood in this world, allows them to leave their families, and allows them to have thoughts.

Adopted by a large family since childhood, once the guardian mind of death training is liberated, it becomes terrifying, Wang Qing is an example. For the sake of his sister, he betrayed the commander of the division and betrayed the Lu family. But he still has a conscience, and he knows that if it weren't for the old man who took in their orphans who were begging along the street on the side of the road, they might not have survived.

After thirty years of getting along, it would be a lie to say that there is no emotion. To say that Wang Qing is a person with a lost conscience is also a biased judgment.

The betrayer may not have to be reused, but he can have a better life. But Wang Qing didn't, he chose the life of a very ordinary person, incognito, and even Mao Ye never thought of taking his life. It can be said that this is a pathology. Guilt kept him from getting his life back.

The rain splashed down the tarpaulin umbrella, and the white boots stepped on the rain-soaked ancient stone streets, cold and lonely.

Li Xiangru couldn't help coughing a few times, and the yin poison in his body began to haunt him again. He paused, looked at the distant haze in the rain, and sighed softly.

It should be a beautiful thing to live, but that kind of ordinary life is not something he can have. If there is a knot in the heart, life will be boring.

Those sanctimonious hypocrites live a glamorous life and are at ease. Those Lu Jiajun who lay underground and did not die in front of the battle with the Loulan army did not blink their eyes.

Do those who live at the bottom deserve to be burned like chopping wood by those big men and let them go to keep warm? Those who sacrifice their young lives for their families and country deserve to be stepped on as a humble stepping stone for others? Why do people who have great righteousness and great principles in their hearts be able to stand on top? Why do they know that they are wrong but are still so righteous and awe-inspiring?

Life is equal, but life is unfair.

Some things have to be done.

Wang Qing is excusable, but his sin is unforgivable. Li Xiangru is not a person who has a penchant for killing, and when he confronted Wang Qing head-on, he had already investigated his living conditions in the past few years.

Wang Qing didn't have a good life, he didn't have the kind of life that enjoyed glory and wealth. Li Xiangru found some survivors of the side branch of the Lu family, who lived in hiding, but received anonymous financial subsidies from Wang Qing.

The great evil that has been done cannot be remedied by doing good, so the consequences must be endured.

If you are gracious, you should repay it.
