20. Swearing
Jiang Wei didn't speak, just looked at Chu He deeply.
He had a very strange feeling that this child, who was only seven or eight years old, had an indescribable majesty, full of momentum when he spoke, and had the domineering spirit of scolding Fang Xuan and pointing out the country!
The spirit of the king!
I don't know if it's because of Chu He's overlord talent, but Jiang Wei just feels that Chu He has a king aura!
Jiang Wei pondered for a long time, his face slowly became resolute, he stood up, and said in a deep voice: "If the little brother can avenge Jiang Wei's father's death, Jiang Wei's life is yours!"
Chu He didn't expect that he would convince Jiang Wei by this, but he immediately smiled and said, "Chu He won't let Brother Jiang Wei down!"
"The eldest brother can move out of our Qinghe Village with his old mother, and it won't take half a year at most for Chu He to let the eldest brother know that Chu He is not talking wildly. ”
Jiang Wei is worthy of being the general of the future Great Shu Empire, since he has made a decision, he did not hesitate, and immediately said: "I don't know when you will go back to Qinghe Village in Chuhe?"
Chu He smiled: "I'll leave tomorrow morning." ”
"It's a two-hundred-mile journey to Qinghe Village, and I'll buy an ox cart to save my eldest brother and mother the pain of bumpy roads. ”
As he spoke, his heart moved: "My eldest brother and I hit it off at first sight, why don't we become brothers?"
The sworn brothers of this era are not as good as the earth, they are no different from real brothers, and they can stand up to block the sword and gun at the critical time.
However, the words of worship are not something that can be put forward casually, if the other party does not agree, it is the biggest insult, and it will break off diplomatic relations at the least, and it will turn against each other at the worst.
Emperor Zhaolie of Dashu is not a martial artist, but his means of winning people's hearts are really admirable.
Chu He believes that Liu Bei can finally become the lord of the Great Shu Empire, and the most important thing is that he took the right step and formed a righteous alliance with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei Taoyuan!
In fact, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the two sworn brothers, gave Liu Bei great help and were the most important contributors to the founding of the Great Shu State.
Chu He may not have other advantages, but being good at learning and imitating is his most terrible advantage.
In the history of the earth, the learning and imitation of the Chinese people made the Western powers grit their teeth and hate, which was an important reason for the rapid rise of China.
It is impossible for him to bow down with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei now, but Jiang Wei is in front of him, and Chu He naturally can't let Liu Bei be beautiful.
Anyway, in this era, there is no need to give Liu Daer patent fees!
Jiang Wei's heart was also moved, if he bowed to Chu He, then his father's revenge would be Chu He's father's revenge, and it would naturally be more certain to avenge his father.
Immediately, Jiang Wei felt ashamed that he had this idea, but in order to avenge the killing of his father, he couldn't care so much, so he could only secretly decide that when he avenged the killing of his father, he would sell his life to Chu He.
The two of them had their own thoughts, and the matter of worshipping was logical.
At that moment, the two went out to buy incense, candles, roosters, water and wine, etc., killed chickens to take blood, and pierced their fingers to drip blood in the water and wine, and burned incense three sticks.
Afterwards, the two knelt on the ground and said: "The yellow sky is above, the thick soil is below, Chu He (Jiang Wei) and Jiang Wei (Chu River) are here today to form a righteous alliance with Jinlan, and they are allied with blood." In the future, we will share blessings and difficulties, and if there is any violation, it will be like this!"
After the oath, drinking and breaking the bowl, Chu He and Jiang Wei became brothers with different surnames.
I don't know if the ceremony is a bit grand, anyway, after Chu He and Jiang Wei bowed, it was very strange that he felt that his relationship with Jiang Wei was much closer, and even made Chu He feel a little bad for his dirty thoughts.
He was quickly relieved, he did this for Jiang Wei's good, and he didn't let Jiang Wei die.
And he really wants to help him get revenge, although the motives are a little impure.
After bowing, Chu He said with a smile: "Eldest brother, why don't you go to see your mother first, and then go to the market to buy an ox cart and other miscellaneous food, get ready, and leave the county tomorrow morning?"
Jiang Wei temporarily let go of his revenge, and his mood was much brighter, and he smiled: "The old mother must be extremely happy to know that Jiang Wei is married to the second brother. For the elder brother, he took the second brother to see the old mother. ”
In the past, Jiang Wei's father was a gongcao of Tianshui County, so he naturally had many old friends.
However, the transportation here is not developed, and many people live in one place all their lives, and Jiang's father's best friends are basically from Ji County.
Now that Ji County has been broken, the big scholars and officials and scribes in it have all been killed, including Jiang's father's friends.
Jiang maintained his old mother and killed Ji County, thinking that his father had a friend in Datong County, so he took his mother to Datong County to join this elder.
Jiang Wei's father's friend is not a child of the scholar family, but a poor family, called Cheng Xiao.
When he was studying in Ji County, Jiang Wei's father met, and Jiang's father admired Cheng Xiao's knowledge, gave him a lot of help, and funded him to study the way of literature.
It's a pity that although Cheng Xiao has a good talent, he has an extreme nature, and when he was studying, he publicly criticized the national policy of Dashu many times, and was thrown into prison by Ji County, but Jiang's father came forward to rescue him.
After that, Cheng Xiao naturally couldn't continue to study in Ji County, so he had to go back to Datong.
Cheng Xiao's situation is not good, a family of seven people is crammed into a wooden house with only three houses, the eldest of the three children is six years old, one is four years old, and one is three years old.
The arrival of Jiang Wei and Jiang's mother increased Cheng Xiao's burden.
Cheng Xiao is not ungrateful, and without saying a word, he gave up his wife's room to Jiang Wei and Jiang's mother.
Then he left the house with his wife, and somewhere he lived, anyway, he sent coarse grains home on time every day, and from time to time there was a little meat foam.
Chu He bought some gifts such as rice, grain, meat, and a little snack, and followed Jiang Wei to Cheng's house, and saw that outside the dilapidated old house, several children were playing, watched by a white-haired old man.
When several children saw Jiang Wei, they enthusiastically surrounded them, calling Uncle Jiang Wei good, but they called Chu He Brother Chu.
Alas, age is a hard injury, Jiang Wei didn't say who knew that he was Jiang Wei's sworn brother, Jiang Wei explained, the three children didn't understand what a sworn worship was, and Chu He didn't bother to correct them.
The snacks were distributed to the three children, and they were immediately so happy that they smiled.
The old man who took care of the child was Cheng Xiao's father, Cheng Guo, the word let him, he had studied before, and he could be regarded as a scholar and a gift, Jiang Wei said hello to Cheng Guo, introduced Chu He, and then said goodbye and entered the house.
I won't go into detail about handing over gifts such as rice and grain to Cheng's mother.
Jiang's mother is an old mother in Jiang Wei's mouth, but she is actually not very old, and the old mother is just an honorific title, just like the county order is called the old parents and the elder.
People in this era usually marry early, Jiang's mother gave birth to Jiang Wei when she was sixteen years old, and now she is only thirty-three or four.
In addition, she used to be the wife of Gong Cao, her daily life and diet are good, her maintenance is very good, and she does not look old.
Jiang Weibai met the old mother and introduced Chu He to Jiang's mother.
When Chu He visited Jiang's mother, he saw that there was a trace of grief hidden in Jiang's mother's smile.
"Good! good!"
Mother Jiang smiled, stretched out her hand to help Chu He up, thought for a moment, and said: "He'er and Wei'er are brothers, and there is no gift for you as a mother." ”
"This piece of Feifeng Blood Jade Pendant is the ancestral heirloom of our Jiang family, one piece is in Jiang Wei's place, and this piece will be given to you He'er. ”
As she spoke, Jiang Mu took out a piece of red cloth from her arms, opened it and saw that it was a jade pendant that looked similar to the blood jade Jiang Wei took out, but Chu He saw that there was actually a phoenix carved on it.
Chu He's previous soul plus the eight-year consciousness of Chu He, who has fused this world, is actually not much worse than Jiang Mu's real spiritual age.
Thinking of the grief hidden in Jiang's mother's expression, as well as Jiang Wei's previous desire to seek revenge on the Yellow Turban Army, he had already guessed Jiang's mother's thoughts.
Jiang's mother must have misunderstood Jiang Wei and worshiped herself, and planned to entrust her to the care of her own brother-in-law, and then go to the mountain tiger alone to take revenge.
With Jiang Wei's current situation, looking for revenge from the mountain tiger is tantamount to looking for death, and it is no wonder that Jiang's mother will give this ancestral jade pendant to herself, which cannot be regarded as maintenance expenses.
