Tuesday, October 17, 2017, sunny with rainy evenings.

During the ten days she spent in the senior apartment, Rose's body did not show any discomfort, perhaps thanks to the incredible resilience she now possesses. None of us know whether this ability is the main manifestation of the D-evolved virus, or just a side effect before it worsens.

Qingyang's pursuers never appeared once, although Shao Sichen and I always went out to investigate and search randomly during the day, and we did not see half a living person within a radius of three kilometers. In order to avoid the danger of hiding in the corners of the neglect, we always had to stay within ten meters of each other outside, and every time we returned, we took a long detour, throwing off all the species that might be trailing before daring to return to the apartment.

The days passed like this, until when I woke up this morning, Shao Sichen was already looking at me with his eyes open by the pillow.

"I have something to tell you." Shao Sichen's slightly serious appearance did not have any traces of her wandering wreckage last night.

I closed my eyes again, yawned, and asked confusedly, "What's the matter?" ”

"I think, today I'm going to go a little farther away to find out what the situation is with Qingyang and Ye Tianming."

"Yes, okay." I didn't even think about it before I agreed.

"I'll go alone."

"Well...... Kindness? I opened my eyes to see that she had just put on her glasses and asked, "Alone?" Why? ”

"You're too obvious." Shao Sichen sat up and turned his back to me with his white beauty, put on his clothes, and said: "Only if you are close enough can you find out, but if you are too close, it is easy to have problems, once we are arrested, it will be even more difficult for me to get out if you are there." ”

I felt like a big burden and asked, "Can't you go, if they don't come to us?" ”

I felt that this was in vain, and sure enough, Shao Sichen put on his shirt and turned around to give me a big roll of his eyes, and said: "The enemy wants to arrest you and the people around you, how will you deal if you don't investigate what step they have taken to where they are?" What if they come just in time for Sister Rose to give birth? If one night I'm riding on you and suddenly I'm shot and exploded. What should I do if I have a head? Think of that picture, splashing your face with blood! ”

"Hmm...... Are you really scolding? ”

I don't know how Shao Sichen can maintain the amount of exercise every day, and the white socks on her little feet can still be as white as new, and I don't understand why she feels so sultry every time I see her wearing it.

"Go aside! Don't make a fuss! ”

"Ouch!"

Shao Sichen rarely has any intimate actions with me at dawn, this is not that I just stretched out my hand to take advantage of it and was pushed out of bed, Shao Sichen was also surprised that he was so strong that he hurriedly came over to help him, I grabbed her arm and kept half of my body hanging out of the bed without falling to the ground, and hummed miserably: "Woman, you are really good!" ”

After getting up, we packed up and went downstairs, in order to avoid outsiders from discovering the situation of the elderly apartment or breaking into the house, we tied the courtyard door to death with iron chains early, and pushed some waste tires to block a porcelain, and if we went in and out by ourselves, we built a stepping platform with cement bags from the wall next to the gate.

Turning over the wall and taking two more detours, there was a hatchback car parked in an empty courtyard like a factory, which was the harvest we got a few days ago. Shao Sichen got into the car for inspection, and I walked around the car, and the self-made anti-theft markers placed had not been touched, and then looked at the car, Shao Sichen also gestured to me OK.

"And half a tank of oil, that's enough." Shao Sichen adjusted the seat and fastened his seat belt.

I gently patted her slender and sturdy shoulder and instructed, "Be careful. ”

"You go back and talk to Sister Rose," Shao Sichen changed his words and said, "You know that I have also looked for her before, but she is different from ordinary girls, there is nothing between us to talk about, I think if it is you, maybe you can have a little drama, and it is not a matter for her to be bored all day like this." ”

I pursed my lips and asked, "You're not afraid that I'll make a move on her?" ”

"That sister had better incite you, get out of the way, big brother!"

I took two steps back and waved my hand, and Shao Sichen drove away with a smile.

When the sound of the car was gone, I walked back to my apartment, and looked up at the window of Rose's room, where I could vaguely see the eldest lady sitting in front of the window and watching something.

I didn't go to Rose when I went back to the apartment, her temper even if I got along in the past two years, I didn't say anything to her, the master who was more silent than Xiao Qi, and in such a sad and sad situation, what could I talk about.

In the morning, I played in the gym for a while, and I didn't let go of my chest, back, legs, shoulders, and arms, until I was hungry, and then I changed into a clean short sleeve and prepared to go back to eat.

Suddenly I noticed movement in the hallway outside the gym door, and I immediately grabbed the axe in my hand and became vigilant, and then I saw Rose walking to the door, still carrying something to eat.

Click. When Rose wanted to come in, the Tang knife she hung horizontally on her waist was pinned to the door frame, and I wanted to laugh, but I didn't dare.

When she entered the door and we were all seated, I ate the food she brought and asked, "Why are you willing to go downstairs today?" ”

Rose asked rhetorically, "Shao Sichen went out?" ”

I nodded and responded, "Go and see the battle between Qingyang and Ye Tianming." ”

Rose didn't continue the topic, but instead asked, "What happened to you after we left that day in Jin Mao City?" ”

She can be regarded as asking, these days I seem to have pressed a big stone in my heart, and now I didn't even hit a single one and I joined hands with Xiao Qi to deal with Li Guodong that day, and then there was a disagreement because Xiao Qi wanted to kill my father, and finally we were easily solved by my father, and all these things were told to her.

"I was still asleep at the time of the lung transplant, and I didn't know what was going on," I said, putting down my food, "so I always felt that it was my dad who killed Zhang Le." ”

I wish Rose would do it to me out of anger, or forgive me because of her past affections, or if she had the luxury of saying that it was none of my business because I almost died at my father's hands too.

But in fact, Rose didn't say anything, and she just fell silent after hearing this.

There was a long silence in the gym, and finally I broke the peace first and said, "There's something I want to ask about too." ”

Rose didn't respond, and she didn't object.

I continued to ask, "Why did Zhang Le have to stab my dad at that time?" After all, you've fought my dad before, so you should know his power. ”

"Because your dad killed Yi'er." Rose's tone was flat.

"I already know that," I asked, "but does it mean anything special when he emphasizes the need to slash with a single slash?" ”

Rose lowered her head and sighed, and when she looked up, she looked at me and said, "Whoever kills my family will be killed." ”

"What is this?"

"Family motto."

After saying this, Rose didn't add anything, and after a while, I couldn't help but speak: "Eldest sister, if you don't mind, tell me what Zhang Le didn't say at the beginning." ”

On the way back to the Yutian Hotel from the Qingyang base two years ago, Zhang Le, who had recovered his memory, told me some of his past experiences of being baptized by war abroad, but he skipped his childhood with Rose, Shen Jian, and An Yi, and did not explain why his relationship with Rose had become so tense in the first place.

Rose was reluctant to speak at first, so I chased a few more words and said, "I don't have to ask about the past of your family, but I think you really need someone to talk to now, and I am willing to be a listener, just listen to it and never remember it, and never pass it on." You think that we have to keep so much work in the new area secret before, and I haven't revealed it to the outside at all, so it's trustworthy! ”

Whether it's suppressed to the limit, or for any other reason, Rose finally opened the window of memory, "People, they're gone, and there's nothing to keep secret." ”

Rose's story this time, combined with the war part that Zhang Le once talked about, seemed to let my spirit enter this memory, re-experiencing the past and present life of their bug family, and the beginning of this memory was in the winter of 29 years ago.

Around December 1988, it was the first time Rose and Zhang Le met, at the home of their Master Shen, Zhang Le's mother, a Chinese academic woman, sent the newborn baby boy into the house alone, asked Master Shen to take care of her, and then left soon after.

- "What I have to do with his father, I can't take him with me, you are the only person his father believes. ”

From that day on, Master Shen's family welcomed a second child after adopting Rose in the orphanage, and it was also from that meeting that Rose, who was just over two years old, had to learn to run and take care of her younger brother at the same time.

At that time, she was too young, and the things that Rose could remember were really limited, although she knew that Zhang Le's mother had also visited him later, but the number of times she came could be counted on one hand, and the time she stayed was even more likely. What can make Rose even more impressive is another family member two years later.

In September 1990, a young girl who had never seen her before sent Master Shen her third child, and Rose, who had grown to four years old and was receiving Master Shen's martial arts instruction, picked up the new member for Master, and she was surprised to find that the appearance of this baby boy was very similar to Zhang Le, who was already two years old and holding the corner of his clothes behind him, and still had a runny nose.

- "The couple is in a very dangerous situation now, and they say that if they don't show up again in a year...... Please take good care of these brothers! By the way, this younger brother hasn't had time to come up with a name yet, but it's best not to have the surname Zhang in order to avoid trouble. ”

Shen Jian is the name that Master Shen gave to this third child, and some trouble is that Shen Jian was injured before coming to Master Shen's roof, and even if the newborn baby is cured, it will inevitably leave sequelae, and the result is that Shen Jian's childhood and adolescence have been obese for a long time, no matter how painful and severe Master's training is, it can't be reduced, but there are no other more painful effects.

In short, since then, the three children of Rose, Zhang Le, and Shen Jian have gradually grown up listening to the "Same Song" under the care and training of Master Shen, however, Zhang Le and Shen Jian's parents have never appeared again.

Growing up is always full of all kinds of curiosity, and for Zhang Le and Shen Jian, the most curious thing is undoubtedly where they came from, or who are their parents? Where did it go?

Whenever the children asked this question, Master Shen would bitterly tell them that their father was an international trader and their mother was a medical authority in South Asia, but they had both died in an ordinary car accident, and gradually Zhang Le and Shen Jian were convinced of this.

Master Shen has been taking care of these children independently, in Rose's impression at that time, Master Shen has never found another woman to go home, on his bedside table has been a photo of him with a beautiful woman and a young girl, Rose asked, Master Shen said that it was him and his wife and daughter, but they died before Master Shen adopted Rose that year.

As for the cause of death of his wife and daughter, Master Shen did not deceive Rose in any way, he directly said that they were killed by his enemy, of course, he had already taken revenge, and since then, he has set a rule for himself.

- "Whoever kills my family will be killed." ”

This rule later became the family motto of the children of Rose.

In 1996, Rose was ten years old, and that evening she was taking Zhang Le and Shen Jian's two younger brothers to practice, when she saw Master Shen dressed neatly and was about to go out, and asked him where he was going, Master Shen said that he was going to a drinking party and meet some business friends.

That day, the dinner at home was made by Rose, and Master Shen did not come back for the night, which was a common thing in the past, but it was not until later that Rose learned that Master Shen fell in love with a woman at the drinking party that night.

She is a rich lady in the local high society, and Master Shen, who has a large age difference, fell in love at first sight, after that night, they had many all-night exchanges in half a year, until the woman found out that she was pregnant with Master Shen's child, Master Shen had a child in middle age, it was like a treasure, but several times the marriage proposal was prevaricated by the other party for various reasons.

In 1997, the newborn girl was named An Yi, and her mother sent her to an orphanage, where she committed suicide due to depression not long after.

After Master Shen learned about it, he immediately adopted An Yi home, and after investigation, he learned that the celebrity's family had gone bankrupt a few years ago, and she herself married a rich man from an island country in order to save the declining situation, but only after marriage did she find out that the rich man could not have children.

The matter of borrowing a pregnant child had not been posted on major telephone poles in that era, and Master Shen inadvertently became the object of the woman's lease during that drinking party, but the rich man of the island country said that he would only accept boys, and when An Yi was born, her mother, who could not get pregnant because of an accident, was swept away by the rich with her.

Master Shen buried the celebrity and didn't blame anything for any resentment; He didn't go to the island country to find the rich man as restlessly as he did when he was young, but he just wanted to raise An Yi wholeheartedly.

Master Shen didn't want to tell An Yi about these things anymore and make her grow up and be miserable, but occasionally after a few taels of warm wine, he sat on the chaise longue and chatted with the 11-year-old Rose.

- "After all, she is the woman I loved...... But why do the people I love leave me......"

At this point, the four children of the bug family gathered, and they practiced martial arts together under the increasingly strict training requirements of Master Shen, and grew rapidly.

Rose was a senior sister at that time, her personality was very different from now, she was really perverse and violent, and when she supervised her younger siblings to practice, she often scolded and scolded, and more often she would beat people, and a few times she even missed and beat them in the back.

- "Sister! My brother fainted! ”

- "Let you take care of it!" Go back and get back to practice! Listen! If you don't want to be beaten like this, you can practice to be stronger! ”

Under the standard of Master Shen's 'ruthless cultivation in skill and stocking in life', Zhang Le's personality formed since childhood is also far from what it is now, I heard Rose tell me that Xiao Qi at that time was a real coward, and he didn't dare to gasp in front of Master Shen and Senior Sister Rose, as long as he spoke, he sweated, but his mind was also the heaviest.

- "Little sword, you can't blame the eldest sister, she wants us to become as strong as her as soon as possible!" Yi'er is good, don't cry, don't cry! ”

- "Woo wow wow ~ but~ but~ big brother ~ second brother ~ you were all beaten ~ beaten so badly ~ wow wow wow wow! ”

Rose said that Zhang Le always took care of his younger brothers and sisters very carefully in those years, including this ignorant sister, and she herself was really not qualified as a senior sister, and her childhood experience even when she grew up could not let Shen Jian and An Yi get rid of the childhood shadows that she scolded and scared.

In July 2001, when Rose was 15 years old, she received the first mission goal of her life from Master Shen: a black marketeer who owed her employer a huge amount of loans, and refused to repay the debt by relying on her own territory.

It was also from that mission that Rose knew why she had been rigorously trained and cultivated by Master Shen since she was a child, and the financial resources that Master Shen had relied on to raise this family for many years.

Killer.

So the 15-year-old girl went to a distant and strange city alone, quickly learned about the local customs and customs during her full stay, and reconnoitred a large number of topographical features during the search for her target, and the rapid use of many methods benefited from the brutal training of her childhood and a steady stream of literary and theoretical skills.

She then began to track the target's itinerary, record the details of the guards, preset the change of action, comprehensively plan the key points, choose the time to move, plan the alternate time, and set more than three ways to retreat after the fact......

——"Welcome to our news, the economic losses caused by this natural disaster to the local area are still immeasurable, and the death toll has reached 125 as of 15 o'clock this afternoon, including the ...... who unfortunately fell from the building."

Rose returned safely to her hometown on the third day after the incident, she not only successfully completed the task, but was also able to blame the death of the target person on natural disasters, Master Shen did not give Rose any verbal appreciation, but through multi-layered relationships, he got the treasure of the target person's home, an indestructible peerless Tang knife, and gave it directly to Rose!

The girl carved a rose flower on the end of the hilt, and this Tang knife became the sharp war knife she carried with her for the next ten years!
