Chapter 67: Night Talk
Long Yuan opened the doors and windows to let the room breathe.
"Huh?" The cold moonlight sprinkled down, covering the entire He Mansion with a layer of silver, and on the roof of the front hall was a person lying on his back, "What is he doing on there?"
"Goo, goo, goo......"
"Hah-"
"It's best not to drink when you're injured. ”
Long Yuan's voice sounded from behind the man.
"Steward Long hasn't rested yet!"
"Goo!
Ding Hong took another big sip, the liquor slipped his throat, but Ding Hong felt a trace of warmth.
"You've got something on your mind. ”
"Would you like to take a bite, it's a good thing. ”
Ding Hong shook the wine gourd, looked at Leng Yue with a confused look in his eyes, and invited Long Yuan.
"I'm only twelve. ”
Long Yuan spread his hands and said helplessly.
"Haha, I almost forgot. ”
Ding Hong laughed a little embarrassedly, facing this little housekeeper, he always had a feeling of facing his peers or even seniors, and subconsciously ignored Long Yuan's age.
"Raise a glass to eliminate sorrow and sorrow, draw a knife and cut off the water to flow more, life in the world can't escape a love word. ”
Long Yuan said such a sentence without a head, which made Ding Hong, who was a little paralyzed, tremble, and his expression became sad and lonely.
"Steward Long is really discerning, and he can't hide anything from you. Ding Hong smiled bitterly, his voice turned ethereal as if he was reminiscing, "I was born in an ordinary family in a village near Beisha City, and I was very active when I was young, so my father sent me out to learn martial arts. ”
Long Yuan listened quietly and did not interrupt Ding Hong's confession, because he could see that Ding Hong was too painful to suppress everything in his heart, Ding Hong needed to vent it now, wine was just a medicine, and Long Yuan's just right appearance was an opportunity.
"But I'm not reconciled, my goal is to become a Heavenly Mandate Master, so I bid farewell to my master and traveled around to visit famous teachers, this time it has been five years, my martial arts are constantly improving, but I still haven't become a Heavenly Mandate Master. ”
Long Yuan couldn't help but feel a little emotional, everyone flocked to the Heavenly Mandate Master for eternal life, power, power, fame, etc., but how did these people know that their choice could really bring this, or another cruel reality.
"Frustrated, I rescued a girl by chance on the way back to Beisha City, she is not beautiful, very ordinary, but she has the warmest smile in the world, like sunshine, I have to admit that at that moment, my heart was illuminated by her. ”
Speaking of this, Ding Hong's face showed a happy smile, and Long Yuan saw from his smile that the world that only belonged to Ding Hong, it was colorful, with a whisper of ears and temples or a playful laughter.
"Soon we got married, and we had a lovely son, but I still didn't give up on becoming a Heavenly Master.
One of the famous teachers I visited once told me that there would be a great epiphany between life and death, and maybe there would be the possibility of becoming a Heavenly Destiny Master. So in order to find the feeling between life and death, I wandered outside the city and constantly fought with bandits, and gradually I got the name of a hero. ”
Ding Hong said the word "hero" when he said it, his tone was full of self-deprecation and disdain, Long Yuan understood that Ding Hong's misfortune began at this moment.
"At the beginning of the period, I was very complacent, and sometimes I couldn't help but think that even if I couldn't become a Heavenly Destiny Master, it was actually not bad to be a hero that everyone admired.
But I was wrong, this world is even more terrible than I imagined. While I was killing bandits day and night, a group of people would attack my wife and children in the city. ”
In the end, Ding Hong almost gritted his tooth sockets and squeezed out a few words, like the low roar of a wounded beast in the forest, and the words were full of madness.
"When I came home and saw my naked wife lying in a pool of blood, her face and body were covered with dense knife marks, and my full-term son was fished out of the water tank, those brutes, brutes!"
He didn't want to remember that picture, but the more it was like this, the clearer the picture became, Ding Hong wanted to go down with his wife and children like this, but he was unwilling, he was unwilling to die like this, and he didn't avenge his wife and children.
"Isn't the enemy very strong. ”
Long Yuan could feel Ding Hong's unwillingness and helplessness from his trembling body.
"Several of the powerful and wealthy families in Beisha City have clean backgrounds, and several big bandit groups outside the city have their shadows behind them to a greater or lesser extent. And my act of killing bandits has touched the interests of a certain family, and they are taking revenge on me. ”
Ding Hong picked up the wine gourd and wanted to take another sip, but was snatched away by Long Yuan.
"So when you see that there is no hope of revenge, you start to give up on yourself and try to escape it all?
Long Yuan's words were like a sharp sword poking at Ding Hong's heart.
"What do you know! Those wealthy families are surrounded by masters like clouds, and there are even Heavenly Destiny Masters to help them abuse, what can I do, what can I do, Steward Long, tell me!"
Ding Hong staggered to his feet and said to Long Yuan with some emotion.
"I'll give you two options. Long Yuan stretched out his finger and said calmly, "The first is that you tell me who your enemy is, and I will help you take revenge, and then you give me to get out of the He family, and the second is that if you don't tell me about the enemy, I will slowly teach you until you can take revenge yourself, but the condition is that you will not leave the He family for the rest of your life." ”
Long Yuan stood there quietly looking at Ding Hong, waiting for him to make a choice.
Ding Hong's eyes showed a look of struggle, and he was very moved by the first choice given by Long Yuan, but what happened after that? he couldn't feel the joy of revenge, some were just the emptiness that couldn't be filled in his heart, Ding Hong's eyes were full of confusion.
"Can he really make me strong enough to take revenge myself?" Ding Hong didn't know if what Long Yuan said was true or false, and it was not in his scope of thinking to be a slave in the He family for life.
Ding Hong touched his chest, a light and shadow suddenly flashed in his mind, he remembered the amazing sword that Long Yuan used when he competed with Long Yuan at noon, under that sword, he could feel his fragility and no power to fight back, as long as Long Yuan was willing, he could kill him at any time.
This attainment of swordsmanship, Ding Hong, has never seen before, even if he visits famous teachers everywhere, he has never seen any famous master push martial arts to this realm.
"Maybe it's really possible, I've heard before that the cultivation of the Heavenly Mandate Master is related to joining the WTO. ”
Ding Hong's eyes became brighter and brighter, in his opinion, Long Yuan must be some kind of hidden master's apprentice, this time he went down the mountain probably for cultivation, the more Ding Hong thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was right, and his heart couldn't help but feel a burst of heat.
"I'll pick the second one. ”
With a decision in his heart, Ding Hong told Long Yuan his choice.
Hearing Ding Hong's choice, Long Yuan nodded and turned around to leave, as if he had thought of something, his footsteps paused, and he said in a deep voice without looking back: "Wait for me in the flower pavilion in the front yard tomorrow morning." ”
"Yes, Master. ”
Ding Hong bowed in response.
Long Yuan shook his head and said softly, "I'm not your master, I'm just the housekeeper of He Mansion." After speaking, he jumped off the roof, leaving Ding Hong standing alone on the roof, and the wine gourd with half a bottle of wine left.
