Chapter 21: Mother, I miss you
The well-fed Sanxiao did not rush home with the second child like in the past, but walked leisurely on the street with a round belly.
Xiao Er originally thought that it was a great blessing for Ah Da to inherit the Iron Sword lineage, but he unexpectedly became a disciple of the Danzong Taishang Elder Medicine Venerable, which can be described as impermanent.
The sudden joy was turned into doubts in my heart when the cold wind of this autumn night blew by.
The young man will definitely not believe in the fate and good thoughts of the old man's mouth, although he is not a martial artist in heaven and earth, but his medical skills are the best in the world, and behind him is the Danzong who is worshiped by the world, his identity and virtue are high, and his power and energy are so great, why would he choose himself as a disciple? There must be some secrets that no one knows. For the unknown, the teenager instinctively apprehension.
Just as he was thinking about it, the young man felt that his sleeve was grabbed and couldn't help but look back, only to see Peach Blossom looking at him pitifully and pouting.
Seeing this, the young man leaned over and tucked San'er's collar and said, "What's the matter?" ”
San'er's eyes were slightly red and said weakly: "You and Ah Da are gone, don't you want me anymore?"
Ah Da, who was beside him, stopped, squatted down and pinched San'er's little face, and said with a smile: "Silly boy, why are the two heads willing to leave you." ”
Xiao Er took away the little hand on his sleeve, grabbed his wrist with his backhand and whispered, "Let's go, let's go home." ”
——
In the early morning of the next day, Ah Da and San'er went to the rice store and private school respectively to quit their jobs, and Xiaoer went to the chaos stall alone. And after dealing with the matter, go here to meet and say goodbye to the Cui family's mother and daughter.
Sanxiao has not had any relatives for many years, only the Cui mother and daughter of the chaos stall can be regarded as half a relative.
The most difficult time was the steaming chaos that allowed the four of them to survive the cold and wait for the spring to be warm. Although it is a small favor, it can be said to be rebuilt in the three hearts.
Xiaoer walked on the bustling street of Jingshi and suddenly felt very uncomfortable, he used to be helpless, he didn't eat for a day, he had to think about tomorrow whenever he wanted, and it was unique to walk on the street as freely as he did now.
The boy stopped walking abruptly, touched his neck with both hands, and took down an ink-colored bead with stars on it, like iron and steel. Put it in his hand and click it a few times, look up and turn to the south of the city, and instantly his eyes revealed hatred, anger, sadness, and more fear.
In the middle of the night, the nails of his fists were embedded in his palms, and blood filled his eyes, and he walked resolutely.
Eight years ago, Mu Jinli, the commander of the dragon guard of the dynasty, was accused of collaborating with the enemy in the snowy region. When the new emperor who had just ascended the throne heard this, he was furious and ordered the extermination of his nine clans. There was an uproar in the court, although there were letters from the enemy as evidence, but the Mu family had followed the royal family for three generations, and from the time of the Kaiyuan Emperor's uprising, they were left and right, and established a dragon guard to protect their safety and save their lives many times. As the saying goes, there is no greater merit than the Savior. After the emperor pacified Shenzhou, he rewarded his family and trusted him.
Since then, the three generations of the Mu family have protected the emperor for decades, and they are all the most important cronies, and they are even called brothers in private, and they are envious of civil and military officials for a while.
Such status and power are said to be treason against the enemy, regardless of the court doctors, even the ordinary people feel that it is nonsense. But the new emperor insisted on the decree against public opinion. More than 80 old and young servants of the Mu family have all become ghosts under the knife.
Just when the temple ministers questioned this matter, news suddenly came from Saibei that more than 600,000 troops from the snow region were going south.
After everyone heard this, they realized in their hearts that the crime of collaborating with the enemy by the Dragon Guard was not as simple as a few letters. But in his heart, he has always wondered what could make him treason and collaborate with the enemy.
Prestige, wealth, power? These noble dragon guards are all already there, and they have a shadow wife and children, a glorious ancestor, and a supreme minister, so what else is there?
With the gathering of troops to meet the enemy in the north, the matter of the Mu family's collaboration with the enemy has not attracted attention. But when someone talked about it in the future, it had to be decided that it was an unsolved case.
With a population of one million, the city is the largest in the world. The boy came to a mansion for more than an hour.
I saw that the five golden characters on the plaque above have fallen, the five rooms below have three doors, green glazed tiles, sixty-three gold nails inlaid on each door panel, and two majestic stone lions are placed next to them with an unusually solemn atmosphere, all of which show the power and wealth of the master's family. Now that the gate is closed, a few feet long seals are pasted on it, and a thick layer of dust has accumulated on the ground, as if to tell people that the glory days of this mansion have been buried by themselves.
The young man looked at the familiar and unfamiliar gate in front of him, and urged his legs to walk forward, just a few feet away, as if thousands of miles away. Grab the huge golden nail on the door with one hand.
"Mother, I'm afraid of the dark, let me sleep with you. ”
"Mother, tear down the threshold, it always trips me. ”
"Mother, I don't want to write, you and I can fly kites. ”
"Mother, when I grow up, I will be like my father, carrying a big knife to protect the emperor. ”
"Mother..."
The young man wanted to push open the door and enter, but he turned away suddenly, muttering:
"Mother, I miss you. ”
