A moment later, the southwest side of Miao Village ......

Xiangjia stilted building in the north of Miao Village, the previous three people from north to south one by one search, to De Along's house, has arrived at the south end of Miao Village, and under the leadership of Xiang Yiling, the two came to the Baishui River.

The Baishui River is the river that surrounds the entire Miao Village, and there are five extremely magnificent wind and rain bridges on it, which left a deep impression on Jiang Xiaoshu who first arrived in Miao Village.

And at this moment, the two are sitting on a certain wind and rain bridge.

Xiang Yiling was silent for a moment, and as soon as he spoke, he said amazingly:

"Brother Zhu is an orphan."

"What?" Jiang Xiaoshu thought he had misheard.

Xiang Yiling nodded:

"Brother Zhu's parents died very early, and he grew up eating 100 family meals......"

Children whose parents died since childhood naturally have a hard time.

"Brother Zhu was less than ten years old that year, although there were no bad people in the village, but I heard the old people in the village say that other children would always insult and ridicule him, but Brother Zhu had a lonely temper since he was a child, and when others scolded him, he naturally couldn't help but go up to fight, naturally he couldn't beat others, and in those years, I don't know how much bullying and insult he suffered......"

Jiang Xiaoshu's face was cold, because he knew that the evil of half-grown children was often beyond people's imagination.

Xiang Yiling continued:

"I heard that at that time, Brother Zhu was in the private school in the village to listen to ......"

Mr. Private's phrase "out of school" is a natural sound to other children's ears, but for those children who are bullied, it is a prelude to a nightmare.

The sound meant that, at some point, he would be slapped twice by someone in the corner by the hair; or forced him to climb into the pit and get a foul smell all over his body; Sometimes, a few older children forcibly pulled off his trouser belt and then pulled out something inexplicable and wiped it on......

Instead of feeling pity, the other children on the lookout laughed and clapped.

Because they did not yet have a concept of right and wrong, good and evil, the bullier's childish and gratuitous violence meant the right to speak and the spirit of rebellion, which became a symbol of heroism.

If Zhu Yujin is still holding his neck up, they will often be very disappointed, and next time, Zhu Yujin will face more brutal bullying and more serious isolation.

In their eyes, the bullied should cooperate with groveling, and the cry and whimpering are like a clarion call for victory to make them ecstatic.

The world of these half-grown children is simple and brutal - power is rightfully the only measure of right and wrong.

As an orphan and arrogant, Zhu Yujin committed a mortal crime in this standard.

“…… Therefore, Brother Zhu is the most reluctant for others to mention his family, life experience, or something...... Brother Jiang, you just asked like that, no wonder he was unhappy. ”

After listening to Xiang Yiling's words, Jiang Xiaoshu was silent for a long time and sighed:

"I didn't expect Brother Zhu to be like this in his early years...... Alas, I said the wrong thing earlier, and I must find a chance to apologize. ”

"If you know your mistakes, you can change them, Brother Jiang is good." Xiang Yiling did not hesitate to praise himself.

"It's just a matter of making amends, I hope it's not too late." Jiang Xiaoshu smiled bitterly.

Then he remembered something, and asked with some curiosity:

"Xiang girl, according to what you said, since Brother Zhu was in such a situation when he was a child, how did he later practice this good martial arts and become famous?"

Xiang Yiling is a little proud:

"Because of my father."

"Uncle Xiang?"

"It was seventeen years ago, my father returned to Miao Village, and when I saw that Brother Zhu was so pitiful, I took him in, my father's martial arts were very good, and no one dared to bully Brother Zhu from then on. And his father also passed on a lot of kung fu to him, and later after Daqin Xiuguan Dao entered Miao Village, Brother Zhu went out and didn't come back until last year. ”

"I see," Jiang Xiaoshu said:

"I didn't expect Brother Zhu to have a lot of connections with your family. However, I heard Brother Zhu call your father, isn't he the righteous son or apprentice of Uncle Xiang? ”

"I grew up watching Brother Zhu since I was a child, and I also asked my father why Brother Zhu is not my brother-in-law or senior brother. But guess what Daddy said......"

Xiang Yiling cleared his throat and learned the man's rough tone:

"You say Xiao Zhu? Hmph, my standards for accepting apprentices from Yufeng are very strict, and he is a lot worse. As for accepting his son, he is the only one left in his Zhu family, if he has my surname, I am sorry for his Zhu family......"

Then she smiled:

"Brother Jiang, do you think my father is to blame?"

Jiang Xiaoshu nodded instead:

"Nameless and pointless, but taking care of him in many ways, he is admirable to be high and bright to the old man."

Xiang Yiling was very happy to hear him praise his father:

"Everyone says Daddy has a bad temper, but in my heart, he's the greatest man in the world."

Jiang Xiaoshu nodded with a smile, and then asked:

"Where does Brother Zhu's family live?"

Pointing to the north towards Yiling:

"The first one in the upper reaches of the Baishui River, that is Brother Zhu's house, but Brother Jiang, you go to him now, I'm afraid that you will return in vain."

"Oh?"

"Brother Zhu's house is empty all year round, his house is often closed, and Brother Zhu will only go back when he has a meal."

Jiang Xiaoshu suddenly remembered what Wang Tie said - if the heart is uneasy, the place to sleep can only be called "house"; If your relatives are not there, you can't be at home anywhere.

Linked to Zhu Yujin's life experience, he nodded very understandingly:

"That's it, I'll bother him when the meal is good, and I hope he doesn't mind too much."

Xiang Yiling nodded yes, and then asked:

"Brother Jiang, where are we going now?"

There is still half an hour before the meal, and if you return to Xiang's house, you will come back in a while, but it is really a bit hasty.

So Jiang Xiaoshu said:

"Xiang girl, if you can, please take me around, by the way, tell me the story of your Miao Village, and then tell me other rules and customs, lest I inadvertently offend people."

"Okay, but Brother Jiang wants to hear this, so we don't have to leave," Xiang Yiling agreed happily, and then she pointed to the wind and rain bridge under her feet:

"On these five wind and rain bridges, there are things that Brother Jiang wants."

"I want to hear about it."

Xiang Yiling pointed to the opposite side of the wind and rain bridge:

"See, every exit on the other side of the wind and rain bridge is sealed by iron gates and thorns, because the southwest mountain on the other side is the forbidden land of our Miao Village and even the entire Miao River."

Jiang Xiaoshu noticed that the exit from the wind and rain bridge to the other side was indeed firmly sealed, and the "trespassing on the forbidden land" mentioned to Yu Feng before originally referred to here.

Jiang Xiaoshu glanced at the other side of the river, and the peaks of the southwest mountain were indeed much higher than those on the other side, but other than that, there was nothing special.

Previously, he always thought that the so-called forbidden land should be ancestral tombs, ancestral halls and other places.

Who knew that Xiang Yiling nodded when he heard this:

"Brother Jiang guessed correctly, this southwest mountain is actually a big tomb."

"Grave?"

"Yes, this southwest mountain is the tomb of King Miao, where King Miao was buried a hundred years ago, and he is also the last King Miao of our Miao Jiang."
