838 Locusts
"What I'm worried about now is not whether they will make a comeback, nor whether they can continue to make waves, but I'm worried that after the incident in our east window, we will be killed by Xiao Jue and their own hands, or will be sent to the deep mountains and old forests to be savages."
Young Master Chu Ran stretched a big waist and paced around in the study.
"Why do you think that? We are acting on orders, and with the edicts of our father and brother in hand, no matter how angry they are, no matter how angry they are, they can't blame us. The eldest young master smiled indifferently, "There are wronged debtors and owners, and they have complaints, so they go to find their father and brother, it makes no sense to look for us, we are just insignificant pawns." ”
"Well, that sounds like that, albeit a bit of a strong argument." Young Master Chu Ran sighed lightly and smiled mockingly, "I'm also idle, I'm worried about it, whether we can live until that time is not certain!" ”
"So unconfident?" The eldest young master slowly poured himself a cup of tea, "The situation is much better now than we were then." ”
"I'll admit it, but I still don't have a clue." Young Master Chu Ran walked to the corner of the study, moved a shelf placed there, dragged out a board from under the bookcase, put it on the shelf, and knocked lightly a few times, "Except for these few on this board, I don't know anything else, and this point that is known is partly recognized by people themselves, and partly of it is that we have spent so many years to find." He looked at the eldest young master, "Brother, do you think you are a special waste?" ”
"Not really." The eldest young master shook his head slightly, "It's not easy to find this, you should be content." ”
"Big brother, your mentality is so good." Young Master Chu Ran shrugged, "It's not short, I'm a little ...... Mourning. ”
"Mourn what? What is there to mourn? The eldest young master smiled, "Some things are not something that you can solve when you are mourned, we have persevered for so many years, and we have finally persevered until now, and finally saw a little bit of light, we should not be mourned, we should be happy." ”
"Happy what? What is it that makes us happy? Young Master Chu Ran spread his hands, "Now the relationship between us is particularly ridiculous, Xiao Jue and they want to arrest us, we want to arrest another group of people, and the people we want to arrest have not even seen a single hair for so many years." ”
"Feel like you've lived for nothing for so many years? Is it useless to do it? ”
"Not really, it's still somewhat useful, but not much."
"There's no way, the relationship between us and them is not about who is in the light and who is in the dark." The eldest young master sighed softly, "This relationship is as if we live in the human world, they are from the underworld and the underworld, and their whereabouts are mysterious and erratic. It's like they have countless pairs of eyes and countless hands, staring at us anytime and anywhere, and they can do anything to us anytime and anywhere, without any warning. ”
"That's what I said, this kind of feeling of being stared at all the time, as if it is the opponent's prey, is particularly aggrieved and at a loss." Young Master Chu Ran dragged a small pestle and sat down in front of the shelf, "Look at what happened to us over the years, all actions are passive, only when the other party does something to us, we know what they want to do, and we can fight back." But every time it seemed like to grab them by the tail and make them manifest, they suddenly disappeared from this world, as if they had never existed. He sighed faintly, "Moreover, all our plans were originally good and could save everyone, but in the end? Mrs. Xue Hou had to die to make her will, and the eldest prince of the Jin Kingdom was willing to die for his younger brother. Every time I think about it, I ask myself, according to our plan, they could all have survived, and they could have survived, but why did things turn into the bad situation they are now? ”
"Because we're incompetent." The eldest young master sighed softly, "I admit this, it is our incompetence, our sluggishness, and even unwarranted pride that gave the opponent plenty of time to prepare, and the result is that they succeeded, and we were defeated, causing us to now have to run for our own mistakes." If Xiaotian questions me in the future and asks me to be responsible for this, I will gladly take all the responsibility, after all, I am the one who made this plan. ”
"Big Brother ......"
The eldest young master waved his hand and motioned to Young Master Chu Ran not to continue.
"We don't have to argue about the boring question of who will be held responsible. The question now is how we should reveal this to the children, little by little. They're basically about to find out about us now, there's not much help we can give them in secret, sooner or later we need to face them, and before we face them, we need to let them face the truth, or rather, face ......"
"Fate." Young Master Chu Ran nodded, "It is destined to be a responsibility that cannot be escaped." He looked at the eldest young master, "Do you have a way?" ”
"Not yet, so it's more distressing, take your time, it's not something that can be done overnight."
"But I don't really understand one thing, why did you, Brother Huang, and Cousin Tong think that the children would end all this?"
"Didn't Whelan say that? He said that these children were the nemesis of the locusts by watching the sky at night. And this is exactly the case, after these children were born one after another, the situation in Daxia gradually improved, the border passes gradually stabilized, and the moths of that group of people also decreased a lot, and there were a lot fewer demons, which made us a lot quieter. The eldest young master smiled, "Speaking of which, Whelan's description of this group of people is quite appropriate. ”
"He's not saying that they're like locusts, and there's no grass everywhere they go."
"No, Whelan says they're like locusts because they're very reproductive, and they're growing from generation to generation. Moreover, they are like locusts, which make people tired of it. ”
"Speaking of which, it's also a little strange, that is, I feel that those people are very afraid of these children, and they are afraid of them, trying not to have a positive conflict with them, or rather, when the children were young, they tried to artificially let them die, just like the little girl of the Ah Liang family, didn't she become a member of the old Shen family by mistake?"
"It's a pity that they didn't succeed, they tried to kill Xiaocha several times, but they couldn't succeed, and even the latest assassination that Xiaocha encountered was related to them." The eldest young master nodded, "However, this failure tells them again and again that this is a natural nemesis, specially designed to suppress them." He looked at Young Master Chu Ran, "It is also because of these facts that I am convinced that what Huilan said is true, they can really end the chaos of the past hundred years, and they can completely destroy this group of locusts." ”
