Chapter 56: Picking Up the Knife
"Miss Shen, take the liberty of asking, are you related to that lady in Liujiawan?"
Xu An was talking about "that lady", and to this day, he is not sure who the woman he saw when he was in Liujiawan that day.
Shen Tong's gaze swept over the faces of the five people one by one, and even Azhi, who was half-lying on the shrimp head legs, did not miss it.
The five of them were also looking at her, with doubts, curiosity, and a little uneasiness in their eyes.
"I am Shen Tong, and Mrs. Qian is my mother. More than a month ago, I was taken away from home by my cousin, and since that day, I have not seen my mother, whether the wife you have seen in Liujiawan is my mother or not, I will go to the capital, and I will go to find her. ”
There is no concealment, she is frank, she is Shen Tong, Shen Tong who made Yang Jie's uncle and nephew come thousands of miles.
It was a secret, but she told it, she saved their lives, and then she told them her secret, and she was telling them that what she said was not the words of children, but that she chose them to be the ones with whom she shared the secret.
There was silence, the flames were fighting, and the five people subconsciously held their breath, and the little girl's eyes were as bright as stars.
"Miss Shen, I'll wait for a reckless man, I have never known the girl in my life, and I am still Feiyuwei...... Let's put it this way, although we didn't do it ourselves, but the reason why the lady was arrested is also related to us, it stands to reason that the girl should hate us, but the girl not only saved us, but also told us such an important secret, why does the girl trust us, aren't you afraid that we will catch the girl and send her to the capital? ”
It was Xu An who spoke, and he said the common voice of the five people.
Shen Tong smiled: "Although you are here to arrest my mother and me, you are only executors." Someone kills, is it that person or the knife who is guilty? Of course it's the person, not the knife, and you're just the knife, so I'm just going to hate the person who holds the knife, not you. ”
The sound of rain outside the house is dripping, and the children's voices inside the house are crisp. They are knives, just knives, knives that anyone can hold in their hands.
The weapon of the Flying Fish Guard is a knife, an embroidered spring knife; They are also knives in the hands of others.
There are many kinds of knives, long knives, short knives, and scimitars, but for knife wielders, there are only two kinds of knives, good and bad.
The little girl's voice continued: "You used to be Flying Fish Guard, but now you are not. I found you because you are the same people as I am, people who are destined to die in the world, but who care about their relatives. ”
"But...... Miss Shen...... You're still a kid. This time it was Wang Shuangxi who spoke, he was not a good talker, and he felt inappropriate when he said this, but the words had been said and could not be taken back.
But that's what he was thinking.
They were knives, but she wanted to be a knife bearer, and she didn't deserve it because she was just a child.
Shen Tong stood up, she walked around the fire and slowly walked in front of them.
They looked at her together, not knowing what she was going to say.
Suddenly, Shen Tong's figure flashed, and the next moment, her hand had reached under Wang Shuangxi's waist, and there was a sound of brushing, and Wang Shuangxi's embroidered spring knife was already in her hand!
Dodging, shooting, and grabbing the knife, like a cloud of flowing water, in one go, when the five people reacted, Shen Tong had already handed the embroidered spring knife to Fang Fei, who followed her.
Fang Fei held the knife in both hands and respectfully sent it to Wang Shuangxi: "Wang Zhuangshi, please put away the knife." ”
Wang Shuangxi's face was red, his right hand was crippled, and the knife was an ornament to him.
He didn't take the knife, his face was full of shame: "Miss Shen, why do you want to tease me like this? ”
Shen Tong's face was solemn: "May I ask which of Wang Zhuangshi's martial arts when he was eight years old is higher or lower than that of me at this time?" ”
Wang Shuangxi understood, Shen Tong was for the sentence "You are still a child" that he just said, yes, she is still a child, and she is a girl, so she will inevitably be cautious, so she will take his knife.
The shame on Wang Shuangxi's face faded, and he smiled bitterly: "Wang hasn't touched a knife when he was eight years old, so he can't compare to Miss Shen." ”
Fang Fei was still standing in front of him, holding a knife in both hands, respectfully.
Wang Shuangxi glanced at the knife and didn't look away.
"Then I may ask, if Wang Zhuangshi hadn't injured this arm, would I have been able to take your knife as easily as I am now?" Shen Tong's voice was loud and aggressive.
Everyone knew that unless Hua Tuo was alive, he would never be able to hold a knife again, and they were fellow martial arts practitioners, and they knew how painful it was, so no one deliberately mentioned it in front of him, and they tried their best to make him feel that he was still a healthy person.
However, Shen Tong not only picked him to show her martial arts, but she also said such a thing.
Her words were like a knife, stabbing Wang Shuangxi's heart accurately.
"Miss Shen, if you're not happy, come at me......" Lu You couldn't help it for a long time, he shouted loudly.
Shen Tong didn't look at him, and Lu You swallowed the later words into his stomach.
Because Wang Shuangxi spoke, he said word by word: "If my arm is not abolished, you can't take away my knife." ”
"Okay, you're only in your twenties this year, you haven't touched a knife when you're eight years old, so your right arm has only been practiced for more than ten years, if you practice from now on, will you be able to use a knife in your left arm in more than ten years?" Shen Tong looked at him, his eyes blazing.
Wang Shuangxi was stunned, stunned for a moment, and his voice trembled a little: "...... If I don't die, it won't take more than ten years...... I can, I can! ”
Shen Tong smiled, with a bright smile, she pointed to the knife in Fang Fei's hand: "Then, take the knife." ”
Wang Shuangxi took a deep breath, his right arm raised and fell, but his left arm grasped the hilt steadily.
The knife was returned to the sheath, and the person had already bowed: "Wang Shuangxi thanked Miss Shen with a half-crippled body, if I don't die, he will definitely try it with Miss Shen one day." ”
Shen Tong stood still and accepted his salute.
She held her head high and looked calm: "As Wang Zhuangshi said, I am still a child. But you say, can I, the child, be a drag on you? ”
The five of them looked at each other, and Xu An smiled bitterly: "In terms of wisdom and strength, Miss Shen is not inferior to us, how can she drag us down?" ”
"Okay, from now on, how about I join you?" Shen Tong asked.
She said to join, she wanted to join them, she wanted to be one of them, to flee together, to go north together, to find their respective relatives together.
No one answered, and the room was quiet again.
The five of them are one, there were other people among them before, but now only the five of them have survived, the road ahead is bumpy, thorny, they have moved forward, never thought that there will be new people to join, they don't know what to say for a while.
"I agree!" No one thought that the first person to speak would be Aji. His face was pale, and his voice was hoarse, "Miss Shen saved me twice, she is willing to join us, I ...... I thank goodness! ”
