CHAPTER IX
After three years, I finally regained my freedom and returned to the gang.
When I went home, Qingling was not at home.
The fence surrounded by roses is now very thick, and the roses are in full bloom, and I remember that three years ago it was sparse, and now there are few gaps around the house.
The roses exude a quiet fragrance, much richer than the original aroma.
Walked in and looked at the nightshade, the nightshade was already very big, when I brought it back, it was just a small branch, and now it is more than a meter.
I haven't been back for a long time.
I think of Qing Ling's cold appearance in the Autumn Pavilion, and it seems that I missed a lot.
I walked into the house, and it was the same as before. I thought that when I got home, I would find my house full of dust, but I didn't expect it to be clean, almost dusty.
The chessboard is still there, everything is the way it was when I left, but in the blink of an eye, I have been gone for three years.
Everything seems to have changed, nothing seems to have changed.
I listened to Qing Ling's soft questioning voice outside the door, "Didn't I close the door when I left?" ”
She walked in, and I walked out of the house.
I looked at Qing Ling's shocked appearance, I looked at her and tears welled up in her eyes for a moment, I looked at her crying and said, "Master, I thought you would never come back, I thought you didn't want me anymore." ”
Qingling hugged me tightly, and I patted her on the back and said softly, "It's a big child." ”
Qing Ling said a lot with a crying voice, and the one I remember most clearly is that she cried and said, "Master, I thought you didn't want me anymore, just like my father and mother, and I will never come back." ”
I'm the one who hurt her, how can I stand her tenderness.
Qing Ling has grown up in the end, not crying all the time like before, just crying for a while and then wiping away his tears, but his eyes are always red.
I touched her head and asked, "Then Master is no longer an elder who is a judge, and he will be by your side after death, do you think you think so?" ”
Qing Ling said, "Isn't Master deceiving? ”
I replied, "Yes." ”
Actually, I've been thinking about it for a long time, at least until she knows the truth, and I want to be there for her. In the future, after she knows the truth, after leaving, my heart will feel better.
I didn't go to see the helper immediately, but stayed by Qingling's side first.
Qingling is now older, and he is already very strong among the younger generation of the gang, and he often accepts some more difficult tasks, which is regarded as experience. It's just that after I came back, she didn't take on any tasks.
I heard her say that over the years, three years after I left, everyone actually thought I was dead.
Many people in the gang thought that she had lost her backer, she had always been very good, and she had offended many people because of this, if it wasn't for Qingshan who had been taking care of her in the past three years, I am afraid she would have left the gang.
It is also because I am gone, but there are more and more people who show favor to her, she used to be my disciple, the only disciple of the ruling elder, and her status is very high, and she always gives people a feeling of unattainable.
However, the gang leader seems to be very fond of Qingling, and has privately approached Qingling several times.
Qing Ling himself doesn't think there's anything, probably because I'm suspicious by nature, and I always feel that the helper seems to have bad intentions, but Qing Ling hasn't made any mistakes so far, so it's okay.
Qingling babbled a lot to me, what she had experienced, how she had come by herself all these years, shouting that I was not a good master, and I didn't care about her, let me learn from other people's masters.
I said, "Yes, I'm not a good master. ”
Qing Ling didn't seem to think that I would say this, hehe smiled and scratched his head and said, "But I'm a good apprentice, so I'm your only apprentice." ”
I went to the helper a few days later. When the helper saw me, he sneered dissatisfiedly, "What? Remember being the Elder of the Judges, and remember that I didn't come to tell me how the mission was done? ”
I replied, "Well, that's why I'm here now." ”
I probably told the gang leader about the current situation of the ghost castle, the strength of the ghost mother-in-law is not comparable to the three elders of our gang, as for the black and white impermanence under the door, the strength is not much different from me and the great elder, it should be said that it is not bad, but the tacit understanding of black and white impermanence is quite good, so if it is me and the great elder, it should not be able to beat.
I also reported that the ghost castle has just attacked the Tang Gate, and it has suffered a loss in the Tang Gate, and now there is a disagreement between the gangs.
The helper waved his hand and said, "I know, then you go down." ”
I looked at him, I didn't go, I was still standing there. The helper asked again, "Why don't you leave?" ”
I didn't speak, just stared at the helper. I watched the helper laugh, and then said with a cold look in my eyes, "It seems that I shouldn't let you go to the ghost castle, looking at your expression, I know a lot?" is also the person who was originally selected, how can it be bad? ”
The person he was talking about was Master.
I asked him, "Master loves you so much, why are you doing this?" ”
I don't know what the Master looks like in the eyes of the helper, but I know what the Master looks like in my eyes. My master is a person who does not leave his son for three sentences, and his eyes are full of pride when he mentions his son, and even before he died, he told me, "Yiwu, please leave you in the future, please take care of my child." He'......"
I have envied Master's son countless times, Master's son who loves so much, how can he kill his own father. If I had known that it was the Master he had killed, I would not have done so many hurtful things for him.
I looked at the helper and sneered, I listened to what the helper said about what kind of person his father was.
The helper said that the master was a complete liar, and the master did not love him at all and regarded him as his own shame, so he rarely saw him. The helper said that the master was a bastard and never thought about him from beginning to end, and the helper said that he had never felt fatherly love.
So in the end, he found out that Master had passed on all his skills to me, so he chose to do so.
The helper laughed, and his eyes were full of coldness, "He doesn't love me." ”
Actually, I really want to tell the helper that Master loves him very much, but what qualifications do I have to say such things? If Master hadn't taught me all of his skills, maybe there wouldn't have been so many things.
I just sighed, Master has a lot of enemies in the rivers and lakes, and many times he doesn't let them know that he has a son, because he loves his son deeply. It's just that what the helper wants is never this kind of protection, all he wants is his father by his side.
Who's to blame? Isn't that how many times it is? If you treat him like this, it may not be what he wants.
I looked at the helper and laughed, and said, "At least I've never regretted it until now." ”
I was silent for a long time, and then told the gang leader, "I don't want to be a judge elder anymore, and when the gang finds another person to become a judge elder in the future, I will pass on all my skills to him, so you don't have to worry." ”
With that, I turned around and was about to leave, but I heard the helper call me, "Why?" ”
I replied, "This is my promise to Master. ”
As soon as I got to the door, I heard a crackling and the sound of things breaking inside.
Master, your son actually loves you very much.
