The so-called rumors, thousands of people have thousands of faces, thousands of mouths, and they have discussed the same, but the rumors about Fu Yuanyu are exceptions, looking at the thousands of miles of Dajing, pick a random place to ask about Fu Yuanyu, except for the deaf and foolish, from the elderly to the drooping young children, all show contempt for this person, and hate to eat his flesh.

Therefore, although Xue Hongbi had never seen this person, he had also heard of this name.

Twenty years ago, Jingwuzong went north for the third time to expedition to Wule, defeated Shan Yu Huyanbi, recovered the seven states of Yunluo, and the shame of the emperor was snowed, and the whole country celebrated. However, the joy was extremely sad, Jing Wuzong died of illness on the way back to the teacher, the prince of the prison country fell ill under the great compassion, the Yin royal family was in turmoil, and had to support the son of the successor as the new emperor, because of his young age, the Empress Dowager Xiao hung the curtain to govern, and changed the name Yong'an.

The new emperor ascended the throne, not only the northern Xinjiang that had just been pacified, but also the East China Sea, the Western Regions and other places were also frequent, internal and external troubles jointly invaded the stormy Dajing Jiangshan, fortunately, although the Empress Dowager Xiao was a woman, the political means were not inferior to others, with the huge family power as the backing, united loyal ministers and good generals to resist foreign enemies, Su Chaotang, can stabilize the Great Jingguo Zuo, and therefore with the flow of greedy ink and power, it is difficult to pull out.

In the ninth year of Yong'an, Prime Minister Song Yuanzhao took advantage of the mutual market in northern Xinjiang to facilitate fornication with Wule, the latter reneged on the covenant and then disturbed the border passes, just when the army went to northern Xinjiang and the central capital, Song Yuanzhao took the opportunity to force the palace to usurp the throne, and almost changed the dynasty, but fortunately, the wolf's ambition fell short, Song Yuanzhao was guilty of conspiring against the nine clans, and the traitorous party was greatly injured after this battle, in exchange for the 12 years of peace and prosperity in Dajing.

Although the rivers and lakes and temples are all in the world, but there is a clear distinction between the government and the opposition, this matter was originally just a dispute between the court and the court, and it has nothing to do with the martial arts of the rivers and lakes, but at the time of the fall of Song Yuanzhao, the official secret agent Shun Teng touched the melon, and found that he was not only forming a party in the court, but also raising dead soldiers in the wilderness, and secretly created a rebellion organization called "Flying Star Alliance", and recruited the world's most powerful but heinous people to do things for it.

After many investigations, the secret agent only knew that there were nine directors of the Flying Star Alliance, collectively known as the "Nine Palace Flying Stars", and they were also the "Nine Thieves" who were criticized by the people of the world, and Fu Yuanyu was the first of them, and he was also the only traitor who exposed his identity!

At that time, Fu Yuanyu was the master of the Demon Dao Mending Heaven Sect, not to mention that covering the sky with one hand was also overturning the martial arts in the rivers and lakes, but he was born with wolf ambitions, unwilling to wander in the quagmire of the rivers and lakes, and wanted to go further to be the master of the people who killed and robbed, so he did not hesitate to take refuge in the traitorous Song Yuanzhao and help him form the Flying Star Alliance to recruit his subordinates, I don't know how many things he did that hurt the heavens and reason, and he was even more bold enough to assassinate the generalissimo of Zhenbei, assist the foreign enemy to attack the Hanshan Pass in northern Xinjiang, and almost let the enemy army break in...... All kinds of things, too many to write!

After the incident, not only did the government send troops to clean up the rebels, but the people in the martial arts were even more indignant, and the ten major sects united to kill the head altar of the Mending Heaven Sect Wa Huang Peak, the battle lasted for two days and one night, and the blood flowed up and down the Wa Huang Peak, and finally it was the left protector Zhou Jiangyun who killed his relatives in righteousness, and hit it hard before Fu Yuanyu activated the mountain destruction mechanism, so that the righteous division drove straight in, and also saved the Mending Heaven Sect from giving the dog thief a burial.

However, although the Mending Heaven Sect changed hands, Fu Yuanyu's henchmen and subordinates were also slaughtered, but the culprit who should have been cut off with a thousand knives escaped from the encirclement and disappeared without a trace.

Martial arts black and white opposition for many years, this time issued a joint pursuit and killing order, for Fu Yuanyu, the devil, whether it is a decent family or an evil demon, everyone will be punished, if you have the head in your hand, you should invite the heroes of the world to spit on it!

It's a pity that for twelve years, Fu Yuanyu's whereabouts have disappeared from time to time, but no one has been able to cut off his head. Therefore, this notorious demon has become a demon who can stop the child's crying, anyone can scold him a few words and step on a few feet, he deserves to die, and God has no eyes to live one more day.

Xue Hongbi never thought that he would walk through the hands of this demon tonight.

He was dragged home by Du Sanniang, stumbling along the way, there were only two voices in his head, one counted Fu Yuanyu's accumulated crimes, and the other repeated everything that happened just now, and in the end, it was confused, and he couldn't hear it clearly.

Du Sanniang kicked open the door, and was not in a hurry to take care of her dirty body, so she first put Xue Hongbi on the stool, poured a cup of cold tea, and poured it on him from the top of her head.

When the cold water was on the head, Xue Hongbi was full of excitement, and finally came back to her senses and looked at Du Sanniang in a daze.

He is thirteen this year, and it stands to reason that he is still a big child, but Du Sanniang has never really treated him as a child, so naturally he does not pity him, and asked in a cold voice: "How did you meet Fu Yuanyu?" ”

"I ...... On the way home, I passed through the alley, smelled blood, and heard someone inside calling for help. Xue Hongbi's fingers spasmed, and she was out of breath when she spoke, "I went in to check and saw Chen Baoshan, the bandit leader who escaped from the encirclement and suppression...... I can't beat it, Chen Baoshan wanted to kill me, and he saved me. ”

Before the words fell, Du Sanniang's slap had already slapped him in the face.

This slap was different from the last time, using up Du Sanniang's only remaining strength, he directly hit him on the ground, his face didn't feel pain, only the eyes were black, his ears were buzzing, and his brain was full of paste, and it took a long time to relieve his breath.

"I warned you last time, don't be nosy." Du Sanniang's voice was very soft, but it was more terrifying than ever, "Xue Hongbi, what kind of thing are you, how many catties and two lives do you dare to go to chivalry?" If Fu Yuanyu hadn't been there, I would have collected your body tomorrow, and if he appeared, I'm afraid we would not have to die well. ”

She said this, and a feeling of fatigue gradually grew in her heart, she knew that Xue Hongbi was different from her pickled and cold-blooded thing from the root, this day would come sooner or later, but she didn't expect it to come so quickly, she hadn't dreamed of a mother-son blind date for twelve years, and she was about to wake up now.

So, she took the kick she was about to kick out, sat on the stool and poured herself a cup of tea, and took a sip to the heart.

Du Sanniang didn't beat or scold, she sat there and poured herself a drink, except for the bump of the tea bowl, there was no sound, but Xue Hongbi felt very uncomfortable, she clearly didn't drink a sip of water, and her internal organs were cold first.

He got up from the ground, like a puppy that had been kicked and wanted to turn back, and shouted "Mother" in a low voice.

"I'm not your mother." As if afraid that he wouldn't hear clearly, Du Sanniang repeated again, "I'm not your mother." ”

Xue Hongbi has always been knowledgeable and interesting, keeping silent at this time is the best choice, Du Sanniang has always been more tolerant of him than harsh, as long as he is obedient and forgets everything that happened today, their mother and son will always go back to the past.

But how could he forget?

Biological parents, birth and death day, even if they don't see their faces, blood is thicker than water after all, especially they don't want him, but they just left too early and can't take him with them. Maybe there are children in the world who can turn their heads and forget after hearing those words, but that is not Xue Hongbi.

So, he was silent for a long time and asked softly, "So, what is my mother like?" ”

Du Sanniang drank the last sip of cold water, raised her head and looked at him, the young man stood up straight and was a little taller than her sitting, but his eyes were firm and his back was straight, and he already had the outline of an adult, no longer the little doll who obeyed her.

She thought she was going to get angry, but instead she smiled, gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with her fingers, and said softly, "I won't tell you...... Abi, if you want to know this, go find Fu Yuanyu, I won't say a word about anything else. ”

Xue Hongbi stiffened her body, and asked in a dumb voice for a long time: "Then if I go to him, can I still be your son?" ”

"Silly boy." Du Sanniang seemed to have heard some joke, and scratched his nose affectionately, "You are not my son in the first place, I am a wicked mother-in-law who has no children and grandchildren, and I don't even have a man who warms the bed, where does the mother and son come from?" ”

Xue Hongbi gritted her teeth and suppressed the cry that almost burst out of her mouth.

Du Sanniang only gave him two ways, either to stay by her side and continue to be a good son, and start a family and live a safe life in the future, or ...... He walked out of the door now, and broke off with her.

She had taught him a lot over the past twelve years, and now she had learned another lesson, that the world is hard to do both.

However, this is only the first step he wants to take to the rivers and lakes.

The more Xue Hongbi thought about it, the more he felt that the road ahead was bumpy, his breathing became heavy, his immature back couldn't support these heavy burdens, and he was about to be bent before he could stand up.

Du Sanniang looked at him, and suddenly laughed a little, this kid has always been as many as a hornet's nest, and he has been playing tricks with her since he was a child, but now that the real thing is coming, he can't even say a vague word, and he doesn't know where the cleverness of the past has gone.

"Is it hard to choose?" Du Sanniang sighed, "Me too." ”

Xue Hongbi muttered, "Mother......"

"I've raised you for twelve years, and I know you well, but how much do you know about me?" Du Sanniang's expression was cold, and her previous lazy and amiable posture was like two people.

Xue Hongbi subconsciously recalled that Du Sanniang was beautiful and fierce, greedy for cups and good betting, although she had a good martial arts but rarely made a move, she hid from her heart, she liked to read those absurd words that were out of tune, and she was exquisite, as long as she wanted, there were no men and women who didn't like her, but she seemed to be easy to talk to, but in fact, she was as cold as iron, and she was disdainful of outsiders.

He grew up beside her and knew everything about her likes and dislikes, but now that he thinks about it, all he knows is that Du Sanniang deliberately showed it to let him know, and to really understand a person, he often has to look at those hidden details, but Xue Hongbi doesn't know anything about it.

Du Sanniang is like a well-depicted painted skin, he thought that he would see it in his eyes and remember it in his heart, but now that the painting skin is torn, those memories have changed.

"Before I raised you, I was a killer." Du Sanniang tugged at the corners of her mouth, "You should hear what Fu Yuanyu said clearly, he called me 'Bloody Cuckoo', which is exactly the name I made when I broke into the rivers and lakes...... I worked from the age of ten to twenty-four, and the life of the harvest can fill a book of life and death of Lord Yama, if I hadn't made a foolish mistake and raised you, I would have either killed countless people and gained fame and fortune now, or I could not die well if I lost the middle way, and I always came back without worry. ”

When she talked about the past, she sighed a little and sighed, and there was a smile on her face, but Xue Hongbi felt a chill down her spine.

It took a long time before he lowered his head and muttered, "Then why do you want to raise me?" ”

"I wanted to kill you." Du Sanniang's smile gradually closed, her originally somewhat relaxed expression became extremely complicated, her eyes fell on Xue Hongbi, and she seemed to see the shadow of the dead through him.

Xue Hongbi looked at her in a daze.

"When I saw you, you were only that old." Du Sanniang gestured with her hand, "I just turned one year old, my eyes are not wide open, my fat arms and legs are the same as the dough pinched, and it is a pit when I poke it gently...... The doctor said that it is not easy to treat, and even if you save your life, you may become a fool. ”

Xue Hongbi naturally didn't know these things, he listened to Du Sanniang's chatter with bated breath, not like listening to his past, but like adding a few strokes to the vacant drawings.

"I didn't have the patience I have now, and as soon as I heard that it couldn't be cured, I thought I would simply send you down to see your father and mother, and have a family of three for a reunion, so I stretched out my hand and wanted to strangle you to death in swaddling clothes." Du Sanniang looked at her left index finger, "But you are probably hungry, and you started sucking with my fingers, and you refused to let go even if you couldn't eat anything...... At that moment, I knew I had to make a choice. ”

Strangled the child who made her soft heart and continue to be a cold-blooded and ruthless killer, or wash her hands for the child and try to pretend to be a mother with clean hands.

Other than that, there is no third way to go.

Twelve years ago, Du Sanniang chose the second type, and now she puts both paths in front of Xue Hongbi, and lets her children who have raised her for 12 years choose the direction of life herself.

Du Sanniang's tone was always calm as usual, but Xue Hongbi was already in tears, but he didn't cry in the end.

For a moment, Xue Hongbi really wanted to leave everything behind and continue to live a life where he knew nothing before, but now although he only got a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg, he has foreseen the bottomless abyss, the crisis is like the gangrene of the appendage, Du Sanniang is no longer young, he can't close his eyes and listen under her protection for the rest of his life, one day he will stand in front of her from behind her, his biological parents are already Xue Hongbi's unresolved regrets in this life, he can't let Du Sanniang also become one of the regrets.

So, after a long silence, Xue Hongbi knelt down and kowtowed to Du Sanniang three times, and after three "bang, bang" three times, he walked away without looking back.

Du Sanniang sat motionless, until the young man's figure disappeared completely, and her forced ease and senselessness collapsed, like a sitting corpse, lifeless.

After a while, a figure walked in from the open door, and I don't know how long I looked at it, sat next to Du Sanniang, put the dangling wine pot on the table gently, and said with a smile: "Du Juan, it's hard to persuade the damn ghost with good words, and order the Internet café to be closed." ”

"Shut up, old turtle!" Du Sanniang's face was as cold as ice, "I really want to kill people now, and if I don't want to die, I will stop." ”

If Xue Hongbi was present, he would definitely be shocked, because this uninvited guest was actually Master Lu, who was promiscuous in the gambling house that night, and at this time he sat next to Du Sanniang with a smile.

"Want to kill? That's right! A glint flashed in Master Lu's eyes, "Taking Fu Yuanyu's head, isn't it more promising than you killing thousands of people?" If you hesitate any longer, you may not let him take your son away and fly away, and then the bamboo basket will be empty! ”

"Bet?" Du Sanniang suddenly smiled coldly.

Master Lu was interested: "What are you betting on?" ”

"I bet he will come back with Fu Yuanyu within a day." Du Sanniang poured the pot of wine on the boning knife, and the blade reflected her cold eyebrows, "If I lose, all the rewards from this mission will belong to you, and I won't take a penny!" ”
