Chapter 5: Leaving Home
"Brother Xiangyan, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. If only I weren't some pure yin body, woo..."
At this time, he and his brother were left, Qin Xiangyu couldn't help crying, it was an 8-year-old child.
"Don't blame yourself, sister, it's not your fault. My father is right, this is what I should bear, even if I can't cultivate, but after all, I am a man of the Qin family, and my sister is in trouble, so as an elder brother, I must bear it. As the head of a clan, the father should first take into account the overall situation, after all, the countless people of the whole clan are in the hands of the father. And although our Qin family is one of the best families in the Xianglong Empire, in a super empire like the Heavenly Emperor Kingdom, I am afraid it is just a small family that does not enter the stream. ”
"Sister, let's go to my father's place first, see if my father has any instructions, I'll go to my residence first and clean up, and I'll be on my way tomorrow."
Qin Xiangyu patted his sister's head and wiped her tears, "Don't cry, you've become a little cat, go quickly, don't you believe your brother so much? Do you think my brother will definitely die? Don't forget, the mysterious old man just now gave me a talisman." With that, he blew up at his sister.
"No, no, of course I believe in my brother, my brother will definitely return safely" Qin Xiangyu hurriedly shook his head, and then lowered his head silently.
"Let's go". Qin Xiangyan smiled and looked at his sister
Qin Xiangyu looked at his brother, he wanted to speak and stopped, as if he had a lot to say, but he couldn't say it, so he just said, "Then I'll come to see you later." ”
"Good"
Looking at his sister who was far away, Qin Xiangyan turned his head and walked towards his small building.
Qin Xiangyan walked slowly on the way back, and suddenly felt extremely nostalgic.
He can't remember how many times he has walked this road, but he has never felt so reluctant as he does today, as if every grass, every flower, and every tree on the road is beckoning to him. There is also the trickling river, the rockery, and the mottled stone path as if they were telling him something.
This road, which has been walked countless times, has never been so slow as today, but it seems to be the fastest again, and in a trance, I arrived at the small building where I stood. In the faint moonlight, lonely like a shadow.
With the sound of "squeak" opening the door, it was a couplet that my father proposed for himself when he was just born: I hope that the country will be stable and will eventually stand. May our people stick to the beginning. Horizontal criticism is, carry on the past and forge ahead into the future. In the middle of the couplet is a picture of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and the end is vast and magnificent. It is said that it was made by Gu Sanwang, the first painter of the empire.
Qin Xiangyan looked at the couplets and paintings in a daze, and he didn't understand what his father expected in his heart. I don't know how many days and nights, looking at this couplet that not only motivates me, but also hurts my own body, I feel sad.
The sunset outside the window was slowly torn down by the distant peaks, standing in front of the window, Qin Xiangyan had a lot of thoughts, and he knew in his heart that he didn't regret it, even if he did it again, he would still do it, this may be a kind of responsibility for no reason.
Isn't it a helpless irony that the sun sets, and the night fills the distant earth and sky with a dark gray light, and then the moon slowly rises, and it turns out to be a full moon?
A slender shadow in the distance slowly came in, and slowly, merged with the figure in front of the window. Qin Xiangyan felt that he was being hugged, in fact, he knew who was coming a long time ago, maybe no one would come except her. Qin Xiangyan felt his shoulders being soaked, and he slowly turned his head.
"Xiangyu, I believe in my brother, I will definitely come back!"
Qin Xiangyu raised her head slowly, the silver-white moonlight shone on the plane tree in front of this small building, and the jagged shadows of the trees reflected on her brother's face, from that immature and strong face, she felt the feeling of care again and again, this is her brother, the only brother!
The cold night was silent, and the occasional cicada chirping in the distance was a little abrupt, until later, the cicada chirping also stopped, perhaps for fear of disturbing the quiet night.
"Brother, if you are gone, I will definitely live well!" "Live for you, avenge you!" This is Qin Xiangyu's voice in his heart!
"Brother hopes you will be happy forever!" Qin Xiangyan's faint words were full of hope, sadness and reluctance, his eyes seemed to have lost focus for a long time, just looking ahead, but he was confused.
"Hmm!" Letting tears spill over his white face, Qin Xiang nodded heavily.
It is destined to be a sleepless night, I don't know when, the moon has risen high, brighter, on this parting night, everything, is destined to be full of reluctance.
"Mo'er, is everything providential, hey......" The deep words echoed in a small collapsed building with a heavy sigh.
Outside the towering city wall, a group of three people stood quietly at the city gate, behind a tall carriage, and the old coachman was closing his eyes to recuperate. Qin Xiangyu pulled his brother's sleeve, his red and swollen eyes were about to cry, and his slender figure couldn't help but feel distressed. Qin Wuqing silently looked at the towering mountains in the distance, but his thoughts didn't know where to go.
"Young master, it's time to hit the road!" came the coachman's low, hoarse voice.
"Brother, please, please...... Woohoo......"
"You have to be good, Xiangyu, believe me!" Qin Xiangyan's firm voice seemed to be directed at himself, and it seemed to be aimed at his sister, and it seemed to be aimed at a certain voice.
"Old Sang, the young master will ask you! I must send the young master safely! Xiangyu, go back with me!" Qin Wuqing slowly turned his head, but he didn't look at his son again.
Qin Xiangyu knew that in fact, she had already understood in her heart that everything was irreparable. "Brother, this is the food I made for you last night, as well as the two clothes I sewed, you can take them with you."
"Thank you sister, with the clothes made by my sister, no matter how difficult my brother is, I am not afraid" Qin Xiangyan looked at his sister with a smile, but his heart was warm, it was good that he could have such a sister.
"Take care of your father, take care of your sister. I don't know what the outcome will be, and I don't know if I will have the opportunity to honor my father and relatives again, but I will definitely do my best to do this well, and my father will convey greetings to my aunt and eldest brother for me. ”
"You can go with confidence, everything in the family has me, and my father will give you three words 'live'! Only by living can there be hope." Understood?"
Qin Xiangyan was stunned when he heard this, and looked at his father in front of him. He said firmly, "Yes, Father!"
Qin Xiangyan got into the carriage and said to Sang Lao
"Let's go, Grandpa San".
"Okay young master. Sang Lao waved his whip, and the two horses neighed and ran into the distance.
"Wait a minute!" came a hurried shout in the distance, followed by the sound of horses' hooves.
A tall and handsome young man rolled down from his horse.
The young man quickly walked to the side of the carriage and said to Qin Xiangyan on the carriage: "Brother, I'm sorry that the eldest brother is a little in a hurry to deal with the matter and is a step late, but fortunately I caught up!"
Then he took out a dagger from his body and said: "This dagger was exchanged by me from a country before, and it is as sharp as clay, and you take it with you, and on the way to the forest, you will use it to draw a line with every tree you pass to prevent you from getting lost." The forest is most afraid of getting lost, as long as you don't get lost, you can wait until ten days later and return along the road in case of emergencies. It can also be used for self-defense! Take care all the way, big brother is not as good as you!"
Qin Xiangyan hurriedly jumped out of the carriage, walked to Qin Xiangya, and held his eldest brother's hands.
"Big brother, don't say that! Big brother has always remembered it, and my brother is grateful! Big brother cares about the people of the world and works hard for the country every day, brother, I am proud of you!" After speaking, he slowly bowed to Qin Xiangya.
"Brother, hurry up! How can this be called the love of the eldest brother! My younger brothers and sisters can't be protected by their families, and I am ashamed to be the eldest brother!"
"Big brother, the road is dangerous, if my younger brother can't come out, the family and Sister Xiangyu will rely on you!" Qin Xiangyan also had red eyes and said to Qin Xiangya.
"Don't worry, brother!"
"Big brother, take care!"
"Brother, take care!
Qin Xiangyan hurriedly turned his head, and the tears could no longer hold back the tears in his eyes, and quietly slid down.
The carriage was getting farther and farther away, and the voice in the carriage heard the voice of his sister, "Brother, you must come back." ”
Younger sister. Wait for me.
The distant carriage was gradually obscured by the dust raised, and slowly turned into a small black dot until it was no longer visible.
