Twilight followed behind Hakujiu, walking slowly and in an orderly manner.

Finally home.

Chu Jiu pushed open the door of the hut, she looked at the morning and twilight snow like an immortal, and then looked at the simple house, and instantly felt a little embarrassed. She was at a loss to introduce Chao Duxue into the courtyard, and said, "This hero, I'm really sorry, it's a bit shabby here. ”

Chao Duxue was a little stunned when she heard Chu Jiu call herself "hero", and then he smiled, "Miss Zhao, you are the first person to call me a hero!" He remembered the rude names given to him by those self-righteous Jianghu people, and instantly had a slight affection for the girl in front of him.

Chu Jiu didn't care what Twilight said, as she eagerly walked into the room and took away the messy clothes on the table.

In order to cover up her actions just now, she smiled innocently: "Hero, this house is not big, there is only one bedroom, why don't I send you to the town down the mountain and find an inn where you can stay, do you think it?" ”

"Are you the only one here?" Twilight asked as she pretended not to be intentional as she looked around the room, feeling a little happy at the thought that she would soon be able to see her.

Chu Jiu smiled, "I'm the only one, my mother passed away not long ago......"

"How could it be ......" Chao Duxue's face instantly collapsed, and she just wanted to continue asking, but she bit her lip in time. How so? When he came this time, he had fantasized about reuniting with her, recalling the memory of her naughty and not half an elder, imagining that she still called him "Brother Xue'er......" as usual

"I don't know where my mother is buried? Can I go to worship in the next place? ”

Chu Jiu hesitated for a while, but thinking of the desertion in front of her mother's grave, it was rare for someone to mourn, and it was a little lively, she looked at the faint sorrow and sincerity in the man's eyes, and still took him to the cemetery behind the thatched hut.

Behind the thatched hut, a small mound of raised earth, in front of the mound, stands a simple wooden monument.

Zhao Lin's tomb.

Chao Duxue silently recited the words on the wooden tablet in her heart, still a little unbelieving in her heart.

"How did she die?"

Chu Jiu felt that there was no need to tell the stranger who had just met the true cause of his mother's death, so he said: "My mother died of illness, and her health has always been ...... poor."

Twilight sighed, but his sigh was too soft to catch, his eyes curved into a beautiful arc, and the sadness in his eyes was unusually distinct, deep and rich.

Zhao Lin is his mother, the wife of his master Wang Chaojun.

His master is the youngest of his fellow brothers, and perhaps because of his young age, he is not taken seriously by other brothers who are vying for power.

Five years after the founding of the Yuan Dynasty.

When the master was in retreat and cultivating at Mu Sheng, the eldest apprentice was dissatisfied with the master for letting the second apprentice take care of the sect's affairs, and he felt resentful.

At that time, the sect formed a party for personal gain, and the camp of the big apprentice and the camp of the second apprentice had been opposed for a long time, taking advantage of the retreat of the master, the two gangs acted recklessly, in addition to fighting in the sect, they also bullied the rivers and lakes outside, and even burned and looted, causing everyone in the rivers and lakes to complain.

After learning about this, Shi Gong decided to dispose of the eldest apprentice and the second apprentice, but what they didn't expect was that they actually thought of jointly killing Shi Gong, but unfortunately their martial arts were not as good as Shi Gong, and in the end the two died at the hands of Shi Gong.

In the end, there was only one apprentice left, that is, the young master Wang Chaojun.

Because the master witnessed what his brothers did, after he inherited the mantle of his master, he only adopted him and designated him as his successor to cultivate him since childhood.

Since he was a child, he has been called the young master by the sect, everyone is respectful to him, and the master is also a more serious and stereotypical person, so the whole sect is dull.

Until one day, the master brought back a woman from outside, Zhao Lin, that is, his wife.

This is a fairly ordinary woman, because compared to those bewitching and charming beauties in the sect, she is only delicate, but she has a pair of bright smiling eyes, she is cunning and lively, and often causes headaches for the master.

"Brother Xue'er, you taste it, it's delicious."

Zhao Lin ate the plum meat in her hand, as if it was a delicacy in the world, she saw Xiao Duxue passing by, her eyes lit up, beckoned him to come over, and then handed him a plum meat.

The young Chao Duxue didn't doubt him, and directly took the words and put them in her mouth. What sour! It was so sour that he wrinkled his whole face, and when he saw Zhao Lin's smiling face, he still swallowed the words in his mouth.

"Is it delicious?"

He nodded hesitantly, but he didn't expect Zhao Lin to give him the whole package of plums when he heard him say that it was delicious.

"Eat more if it's delicious!"

Zhao Lin pinched his immature cheeks, turned around and ran away, leaving him alone.

When Twilight came back to her senses, she realized that he was really the only one left in the end. The master is gone, and now even the master and wife are gone.

The wind blew the clouds, and gradually, the clouds in the sky dispersed, leaving the sun to shine on all things.

"Do you have any plans for the future?" Twilight looked at this girl who was not deeply involved in the world, she was the daughter of her master and wife, but he didn't plan to tell her background, he thought that maybe this would make her live a more carefree life.

"I want to go down the mountain to live, I want to see the outside world, but I don't know where to go." Chu Jiu remembered that there was a hero with strong martial arts around him, so he asked, "I don't know where the hero came from?" ”

"I don't come from, I make my home everywhere, and I can go wherever I want." Twilight lied.

Chu Jiu was envious when he heard it.

"Hero, I can't live in this hut for the two of us, I'll go back and pack up the softness, and then take you down the mountain to find an inn to settle in, in fact, I plan to leave here recently, and it's just right now."

Twilight agrees with Hatsujiu's suggestion and asks her to go back and pack her things.

When he returned to his room, he took out a small bag of broken silver from under his mother's pillow, and then packed up two clothes and some light gadgets from the cabinet.

She sorted out her baggage and looked at the house where she had lived since she was a child.

"Mother, I'm leaving, I'll come back to see you when I'm free!"

Chu Jiu closed the door and locked everything in the house.
