Chapter 37: Left Knife, Right Knife Up

"Actually, you don't have to think too much, life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, these truths, I have understood these truths a long time ago. Xiao Xuan listened to the wheels of the carriage pressing over the stone road, and looked at Ke Zimo's delicate face with deep apologies at the moment, knowing that the other party was still a little unable to let go.

The carriage of Qingyun Academy drove into the old alley in the south of the city, slowly moving away from the most lively part of Xuanyang City, and everything around fell silent.

In the spacious carriage, a teenager and a young man sat looking at each other.

"I was born in a small village on the border, my parents died when I was young, and it would have been nice if they had left me a large inheritance that would allow me to live the rest of my life without any worries, but unfortunately the reality is that they are farmers with nothing. Later, I helped the family do some farm work at a relative's house, although the owner of this family was only a distant relative of my parents, but he treated me really well, although I didn't have big fish and meat every day, and I didn't even have to eat meat once a month, but at least I was able to solve the problem of food and clothing. ”

"So although I encountered such a tragic incident as the death of my parents, I still feel that God treats me well, and I can't resent it. ”

I don't know why, from the first sight of this gentle young man, Xiao Xuan had some feelings of closeness to him, and he would not take the initiative to resist this feeling.

He suddenly wanted to say something.

Ke Zimo didn't know why he suddenly talked about these things, and he felt a little curious for a while, this young man has a calmness and calmness that does not match his peers, and his experience should be a little different.

He didn't interject, just quietly waited for the other party to finish.

Xiao Xuan sat there, his hands on his knees, quietly looking at the night scene outside the window, his gaze, which had always been extremely resolute, became a little blurred.

"But then, there was a city ...... The horse thieves ransacked our village, and the family who adopted me became impoverished overnight, and although they didn't say anything, I left the village on my own, not intending to burden them in any way. In this way, I began to wander around, just to eat, and did a lot of work, such as the helper in the inn, the coolie on the dock, and the running hall in the teahouse of the wine shop...... All of that was just enough to keep me from starving. ”

"No matter the rain or the snow, whether it is in the mountains and forests full of fierce beasts or the remote towns where robbers are rampant, as long as I can not starve to death, I have to keep walking, and if I stop one day, I may never be able to take the next step. ”

Ke Zimo was solemn in his heart, although Xiao Xuan said very calmly, said very simply, obviously omitted a lot of plots, but he couldn't help but have a picture in his mind: a young man with no relatives, wearing a shabby clothes, walking silently on the street, without any support, in order to survive, he endured all kinds of hardships and tasted the warmth and coldness of the world.

He had never had such an experience, so he felt that he would never be able to understand the feelings of this teenager.

Xiao Xuan looked at Ke Zimo, who was frowning, and smiled slightly, and said softly: "Even, in order to survive, I have done things that violate the law." ”

Ke Zimo's heart jumped when he heard this, and he suddenly raised his head, and met the clear eyes cast on the other side.

The eyes were very quiet, a little cold, but not ruthlessly cold, a little desolate, like an ancient city that had been abandoned for many years, sleeping there, and a little bit of light, revealing the unshakable confidence of the young man.

He was a little surprised, a little puzzled, why could there be so many emotions in one look?

This fifteen-year-old teenager ......

Is it really just a fifteen-year-old boy?

After practicing with his master for thirty years, the big people in Xuanyang City don't know how many people he has seen, whether it is the fierce generals in the army who came out of the bloodshed and killing, or the powerful ministers who have gained power in the center of the court, or the reckless green forests and grasses that dominate the world, no one can be like him.

"You...... Killed someone?"

He hesitated, but asked.

Xiao Xuan smiled faintly and did not answer, because the answer was very obvious. His words are almost entirely true, except for the parts that really matter, probably the parts that are not spoken.

Everyone needs to have some secrets in their hearts, and since it is a secret, it means that it is impossible to say it easily.

It could be seen that the young man sitting across from him behaved in a gentleman's manner, but that didn't mean he was pedantic or stupid.

Ke Zimo thought for a while and muttered, "I think those are not good people. ”

He paused, looked at Xiao Xuan and said with sincere admiration: "I didn't expect your past life to be like this, you are only fifteen years old, I really can't imagine how you have come over in the past fifteen years." ”

Xiao Xuan pursed his lips and said, "I also said just now by the lake, be born and live, this is life." Brocade clothes and food are life, poverty is life, even if you are missing arms and legs, even if you are unlucky for a lifetime, you have lost your beloved woman after you die, or you are ...... like me" Xiao Xuan pointed to his nose, smiled and continued: "Life is still life, before you die, you always have to continue to live for some reason." ”

"Fifty years...... It's really enough. ”

Ke Zimo was thoughtful when he heard this, and he vaguely understood something from Xiao Xuan's words.

There was silence in the carriage again, but with a cool neighing of the horses, the lightly locked brow was already relaxed.

The carriage drove out of a long alley, and then into another long alley, and after walking for a long time, I finally saw the familiar scenery of the sycamore in the distance.

Xiao Xuan opened the curtains, but his eyebrows were raised.

His eyesight was very good, and he could see very far even in the night, and the figure in front of the inn naturally fell into his eyes.

He didn't quite believe that it would be a good thing for a large group of unknown people to gather at the door of the inn so late.

As it turns out, it's really not a good thing.

Hu Jiu looked at the group of guys who were holding long soldiers and short blades in their hands, and obviously came from a bad way, and felt a headache. Beside him, Mu Xiaoyu was standing, but the little girl who always had a smile on her face was angry at the moment, glaring angrily ahead.

There was a young man wearing a white crown in this group, who was supposed to be very handsome, but his handsome face was deformed by extreme irritation, and he looked a little hideous.

Zheng Xinghe didn't expect that the dignified Tianhai Zheng family would fold twice in front of a dilapidated small inn.

For the first time, it was a poor boy.

The second time, it was a little girl from the countryside again.

Listening to the groans of pain coming from the back of the crowd, he was even more distraught. Originally, I wanted to bring more than a dozen family members here to recall the face I had lost here before, but I didn't expect that one would easily break one person.

He was angry, but more of a frightened person.

Why are there so many fierce characters living in this small inn? With just one punch, he beat his cousin Zheng Ronghai to the point that he vomited blood and broke three ribs. Zheng Ronghai's strength, his cousin really knows it very well.

I'm afraid tonight's things can't be good.

Thinking of this, he forced himself to settle down, and shouted angrily: "I said, as long as I hand over that little bastard, my Zheng family promises that I will not trouble this inn again." ”

Mu Xiaoyu looked at him and gritted his teeth, and smiled disdainfully: "Just based on your words, if you insult Brother Xiao Xuan, I will fight back if I come to the Zheng family for another ten years." ”

Hu Jiu was embarrassed when he heard this, and secretly thought to himself: My little aunt and grandmother, do you know what kind of Zheng family is, come to ten? Half of them have razed this inn to the ground.

Zheng Xinghe laughed angrily, "Okay, I want to see what kind of place Xuanyang City is, my dignified Tianhai Zheng clan is not even taken seriously." ”

"Tianhai Zheng, what is that?"

Zheng Xinghe was startled when he heard this, and turned his head suddenly, only to find that the sound came from a carriage parked not far away.

Before he could speak, a man jumped out of the carriage, and it was the young man he was looking for.

There was a commotion in the crowd, Zheng Xinghe's eyes were cold, and he was about to speak.

Xiao Xuan spoke first, but he didn't say it to the Zheng family or the people in the inn, but said loudly to the carriage behind him: "Can you help me take this trouble?"

Zheng Xinghe was shocked, Hu Jiu's face relaxed and then became nervous again, only Mu Xiaoyu saw Xiao Xuan appear, all his anger disappeared in an instant, and his little face was full of smiles.

Hu Jiu's nervousness stemmed from the fact that he didn't know what kind of basket this young man who was used to misbehaving.

There was no reply in the carriage.

Xiao Xuan nodded with great satisfaction, because silence represented acquiescence.

Zheng Xinghe was so angry that he trembled, he didn't understand, why no matter who he was, he didn't take himself seriously, why the Zheng signboard, which everyone knew when he was in Tianhai County, was useless when he arrived in Xuanyang?

He couldn't figure it out, so he was furious.
