Chapter 9: Tell You a Story
"Really?! Fan Lao, do you really borrow? No kidding me! ”
Xiang Yun was so excited that he almost jumped up.
But Fan Lao didn't say a word.
His eyes stared at the rusty sword, his eyes seemed to fall into a memory, and all kinds of complicated emotions came up.
There are memories, remorse, relief, and pain!
He carefully picked up the sword and wiped it with his sleeve as if it were a treasure.
"Huh? Old Fan, why are you crying?! ”
Xiang Yun looked at Fan Lao actually crying there, and said in surprise.
"Well, I'm getting older, and when I see some old things, I can't help but feel a little emotional!" Fan Lao hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with the corner of his clothes.
"Isn't this just a broken sword, what's there to feel about." Xiang Yun muttered.
But Fan Lao retorted directly to Xiang Yun, "No, this is not a broken sword, it has a name, it is called chasing life!" ”
What? Chase for your life!
Just this broken sword, and such a popular name?
Could it be that this is an antique?!
Xiang Yun took a look at it with some incredulity, the memory of this life, this thing seems to have been there since he was a child, when he was fatherless and lost his mother at a young age, this sword has been treasured by Xiang Yun's mother at that time.
"Old Fan, this sword is not worth a hundred taels, if it is worth it, I will sell you!" Xiang Yun had his own little abacus.
"No, this sword is still yours, I can lend you the money, don't say a hundred taels, I am willing to borrow as much as you want, but there is one, this sword is placed with me, you must redeem it!"
Fan Lao looked at Xiang Yun and said seriously, word by word.
Fan Lao's face was serious, but Xiang Yun was happy here.
"Uh, okay, well, I'll redeem it!"
As long as you lend me money, you can say whatever you want, and when the time comes, it's not up to me to redeem it.
Xiang Yun's inner abacus sounded.
"Come, son, sit down, old man, I'll tell you a story!" Fan Lao said meaningfully.
"Okay, old man!" Xiang Yun sat down in a hurry.
"This story is a bit long, to start from more than 20 years, back then, there was a young man, about the same age as you, he practiced martial arts since he was a child, learned a great martial arts, in his twenties, he has already fought all over the world invincible opponents......"
"Uh...... Fighting invincible opponents all over the world, he is even more powerful than Xiang Huang?! Xiang Yun was a little unconvinced, in his cognition, I'm afraid no one is Xiang Yu's opponent.
At this point, the old man is a little bragging.
"You listen to me, he and Yu ...... No, he is on par with Emperor Xiang's force! ”
"And what's his name?" Xiang Yun asked curiously.
But in exchange, Fan Lao's face was cold.
"Xiaoyou, don't talk, you listen to me finish the story, oops, I forgot just now, where did I go!"
"Speaking of fighting invincible opponents all over the world...... I shut up and you continue! Xiang Yun obediently put his mouth in his mouth.
"Yes, fight all over the world,...... Later, he has been punishing evil and promoting good, chivalrous and righteous, and has a prestige in the entire rivers and lakes, just when everyone praised him as a generation of heroes, and was ready to respect him as the leader of the martial arts alliance, he met a girl, and fell in love with that girl, later, he resolutely chose to quit the rivers and lakes, returned to the mountains and forests, and gave birth to a child! ”
"If this is the case, his life will be happy, but ...... One day, his former master approached him and asked him to do a very important task, which was a great thing that defied the condemnation of the world, but was enough to save all the people in the world! He hesitated for three days and finally agreed! He also did a great job, but ...... In order not to implicate his master and other people involved in this matter, he is willing to bear all the blame! Finally he ......"
Speaking of the back, Fan Lao Lao burst into tears, and he couldn't go on with a choked voice.
After listening to this, Xiang Yun was also deeply moved.
He doesn't have to think about it, he knows what the final outcome will be, this person is definitely dead!
As for who killed him, it doesn't matter to Xiang Yun anymore.
Xiang Yun believes that this kind of chivalrous man with great love and righteousness will not regret anything he does or decides!
"Little friend, I'm sorry, I'm a little out of shape!" Fan Lao wiped his tears and smiled awkwardly.
"It's okay, Fan Lao, the story you said is wonderful!" Xiang Yun said seriously.
Fan Lao looked at Xiang Yun's expression, hesitated, and asked.
"Hehe, little friend, old man, I have a question for you, if you were the young man in this story, what would you choose?"
"Me?!"
Xiang Yun was stunned, "I'm afraid I will be the same as him, after all, for the good of the people of the world, but I will do more than him, if I carry the pot alone, I will definitely tell the world, poke things out, no one will be happy, even if it is death, it will not be so aggrieved to die!" ”
Xiang Yun didn't have any righteousness.
"Yes, the first one to stab is his master!"
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
Listening to Xiang Yun's words, Fan Lao was directly choked with a cough.
"You...... You! You're right, little friend! Damn it, Master! ”
"Alright, old man, I've finished the story, that ...... You promised to lend me money, when will you give it to me! Xiang Yun patted his buttocks, stood up, and smiled evilly.
The originally good atmosphere was wiped out by Xiang Yun's copper smell.
Fan Lao suddenly lost his good Yaxing.
"Tomorrow, tomorrow you come to my yard to get it, stinky boy!"
After saying that, holding the long sword, he turned around and slipped away.
"Cut, dead old man, tell me what story do you say, do you think I'm as moved as you are? The man who died was not my father! ”
Xiang Yun looked at the back of Fan Lao leaving and snorted coldly.
……
In the courtyard of the mansion next door.
Fan Lao held the long sword, his eyes staggering with tears.
"Apprentice, for the teacher...... I can't stand you as a teacher! Back then, you shouldn't have been asked to do that......"
