Wei Zhuang felt that when the whole troubled world abandoned him, it was Gai Nie who saved him, and now Gai Nie is the only one who has a reason to take his life.

His eyes were closed tightly and he waited for fate to arrange it, and when the first qiē was over, he opened his eyes and twisted his neck, and saw the deep pit of the ground on both sides of his head. There were still some blood stains mixed with the dirt, and Wei Zhuang actually shed tears.

"Senior brother!" A loud call, "I lost." ”

Gagnie still walked forward without looking back.

Xiao Han and Guiguzi came to check Wei Zhuang's injuries, and when they saw Wei Zhuang, who was fine, the hearts of the two of them were relieved, Xiao Han looked at Gai Nie's back, and was a little worried.

She helped Wei Zhuang check his injuries, put medicine on him and let him rest, Wei Zhuang frowned, not knowing what to do. Xiao Han packed up her things and was about to get up and leave, but Wei Zhuang grabbed her slender arm.

"Xiaohan, please help me." Wei Zhuang's eyes showed his anxious heart.

"How can I help?"

"You ask him to forgive me," Wei Zhuang lowered his proud head, "I was really wrong. ”

"I said no," Xiao Han turned to look at Wei Zhuang, Wei Zhuang let go of Xiao Han's arm, "You go and apologize in person tomorrow morning." Xiao Han bent down to look at Wei Zhuang's melancholy face and comforted him, "However, I will go and talk about it, don't worry, Brother Nie will forgive you." ”

Wei Zhuang nodded, Xiao Han gave him a reassuring smile and left.

The lights in Gai Nie's room were still on, and Xiao Han gently knocked on the door with his knuckles: "Brother Nie, you didn't sleep, did you?" ”

The people in the room did not respond, Xiao Han did not push the door in, she put the medicine on the steps, sat down by herself, took out a bamboo flute from her pocket, and played it.

The gentle sound of the flute floated in the empty valley, like a sweet spring to wash away the fatigue left by the fierce battle in the evening, Guiguzi, who was reading under the oil lamp, put down the bamboo slips in his hand, and his fingers slowly beat the rhythm; Wei Zhuang, who frowned, was also moved by the sound of the flute, and slowly stretched his brows. The sound of the fluttering flute fills the entire valley, refreshing, quiet and peaceful.

When the song was finished, the door of the house opened at some point. Xiao Han put away the bamboo flute and entered the room with the medicine.

Gagne's face still had the indifference of the evening after the battle, as well as some tiredness.

"Brother Nie," Xiao Han handed Gai Nie a freshly wrung towel, he wiped his face, wiped the blood on his face, Xiao Han touched the bridge of his nose with his hand, he frowned in pain, "The bridge of the nose is broken, I'll help you reset it, it may hurt a little, you bear with it." ”

Xiao Han skillfully cured Gai Nie, pasted a thin strip of gauze, and fixed it: "It will take a while for this to recover." ”

Gai Nie was still sullen and didn't say anything.

Xiao Han saw his hand deliberately hidden behind him, she pulled his arm, let the hand be exposed, and held his hand up, his finger joints were bleeding a lot, and there was some mud sticking. She gently wiped the dirt and blood from the wound, applied medicine, and bandaged her hands in circles.

"Brother Nie, don't be angry," Xiao Han saw that Gai Nie's face was slightly better, so he persuaded him, "I know what happens when my former friends meet in this place in Guigu, but you should know better than me what kind of person Second Brother Zhuang is." ”

"I thought I knew him." Gai Nie said helplessly, "But, he actually hit me so hard!" ”

"He just doesn't want to admit defeat," Xiao Han looked at Gai Nie silently, "And you, just don't want to hurt him." ”

"Do the two disciples of Guigu have to fight to the death?"

"Since you have entered the Ghost Valley, you have to abide by the rules here, but," Xiao Han's eyes shone brightly, and she smiled, "Since it is a rule, there will naturally be times when it will be broken." ”

Xiao Han didn't know how much this sentence played a role in Gai Nie's heart, and it was this sentence that became the words she regretted saying to Gai Nie the most in her life.

Gai Nie breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and suddenly reacted.

"Xiao Han, why are you in the Ghost Valley?" He looked at Xiao Han sitting beside him in amazement.

"I've been here all along!" Xiao Han was amused by his suddenly surprised expression, "My father and I live here." ”

"Daddy!" An exclamation.

"Yes, your respected master is my dearest father." Xiao Han looked at her with a smile, his eyes crooked, like crescent moons.

Gai Nie remembered two years ago: "I said that I asked you what your father did at that time, and you didn't say anything. ”

"Daddy always kept me shut." Xiao Han put his finger on his lips and made a silent motion.

"But I didn't see you after a month in Ghost Valley."

"I've been studying medicine with my uncle for a month, and this is the last month," Xiao Han was a little depressed, "Uncle said that he didn't have anything more to teach me, and he asked me to come back and honor my father." ”

"Isn't it a good thing that you've learned?"

"But there will be fewer opportunities to see Uncle in the future, so I left a bunch of agarwood for him, hoping that he can come here to visit us more." Xiao Han clasped his hands together and prayed, "Uncle doesn't like Daddy's life of retreat, he feels that as long as he has the ability to help others, he shouldn't hide." Daddy said that in addition to teaching others the swordsmanship he learned so that they could protect themselves, the only thing left was to kill, and it was better to hide to save more people. ”

Ganie pondered the words.

"However, Daddy still has to accept two disciples according to the rules of the Guigu Gate, he knows that they will kill many innocent people in the future, but he has to do this." Xiao Han's eyes were full of sadness, "He said, in troubled times, only those who can change the fate of the common people can make the world unified, and all the people who died in this process are sacrificing for more people to live a peaceful life in the future." Those who die less, live more.

"This is the only solution to the troubled times."

Xiao Han didn't continue to speak, and the two fell silent for a long time.

"That's right," Xiao Han broke the silence first, "Daddy asked me to tell you, tomorrow morning when the rooster crows, go to the martial arts arena, it seems that he is going to start teaching you swordsmanship." ”

"Why did you sue me for that?" Gai Nie opened his mouth.

"Because I don't want to see you get hurt, so you can't be soft-hearted," Xiao Han got up, "to protect yourself, you have to kill the people who want to kill you." Different positions will meet different people, and what kind of position you choose is what kind of enemy you choose. Sometimes, though, the person you always thought of as an enemy could actually be your most trusted friend. ”

Xiao Han left with the medicine, looked back and smiled: "See you tomorrow." ”

Sitting alone, Gai Nie blew out the oil lamp, put his arms under his head, and looked at the roof. Outside, the sound of a flute sounded again. He was still thinking about Xiao Han's words, he thought about it for a long time, and finally felt that Xiao Han just gently persuaded him to forgive Wei Zhuang, but in fact, he didn't blame Wei Zhuang. As long as Wei Zhuang can apologize. He thought silently to himself.

He didn't know how many years later, he would be amazed at these words when he savored them.
