Chapter 341: Companion (Three Watches)
Suddenly, Chu Gou's hand was light, and when he opened his eyes again, the sharp knife had already fallen into Qin Ke's hand.
"What are you doing. Qin Ke laughed angrily, "If you are not a cultivator, you don't want to die? Why are you so reckless in your life? Think about that Yuan family son just now, as long as you can spare his life, no matter how you humiliate him, even if he gives up his body to cultivate on the spot, he won't care......"
"I'm different from him!" Chu Gou's eyes were red, "He is the son of an official eunuch, the eldest son of Taishou, even if he has no cultivation, he is also prosperous and wealthy, and he will sit in his father's position in the future, and he will still be a master of a county!
"I'm sorry!" Qin Ke's eyes widened, and he rushed forward angrily, and punched Chu Gou in the face, "No matter how cheap life is, it's better to live than to die! You know what a fart! Back then, my father and my mother took me to escape from the famine, and the water and rice did not enter for three or four days, but they still refused to stop, and their shoes were worn out and they had to move forward! Because they still want to live, not only to live themselves, but also to let me live...... But they still died. You're good, a life that you just picked up by luck, and now you don't want it if you don't want it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, his chest rose and fell violently, and he could only close his eyes and forcibly calm his mind.
"Alas. After a long time, Qin Ke sighed and said, "Forget it, you go and bury the boss and the boss lady first, and ...... for a while." Come with me. ”
Chu Gou was stunned for a while: "So...... Will you want me, Daxia, I'll kowtow now, ...... teacher."
Qin Ke kicked him on the knee and said, "Get up! I didn't say that I would accept you as an apprentice!"
Chu Gou nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, hero, I will be your servant in the future, as long as I can do it, just give orders!"
"I didn't say I wanted you to be a servant. Qin Ke shook his head and said helplessly: "That's it, I'm going to Jinzhou of the Mo family, you follow me for the time being, and I will teach you some beginner methods of cultivation on the way, as for how much you can learn, it's up to you...... But when you get to the place, where should you go, what do you want to do, and you are not allowed to follow me anymore, do you understand?"
"Ming...... Understand ......" Chu Gou looked at Qin Ke excitedly, although it was only about ten days' journey, but after all, Qin Ke promised to teach himself to practice, he still bowed deeply.
Bai Qi on the side saw everything in his eyes, smiled slightly, walked over with the horse, and arched his hand and said, "Engong." ”
Qin Ke tilted his head strangely, felt a little headache, and said: "Some people call me Shaoxia, some people call me Daxia, the one who just left is called my master, and now there is another one named Engong, do you all want to give me a title to be happy?"
Bai Qi smiled slightly: "Engong did save me, the ink master has always valued kindness, and he will repay it in the future." ”
"Don't ...... I have a headache. Qin Ke waved his hand, "If all the people in the inn are burned to death, I won't be able to find anyone to take me to Jinzhou." ”
"Engong is going to Jinzhou?" Bai Qi's starry eyes lit up, "Then I don't know if I can go on the same road?" I was also going back to the Mo family to resume my life, but I didn't think about ......"
He glanced at the inn house that gradually collapsed in the fire, among them, there were also the corpses of his three junior brothers, but the ink man has always paid attention to the "festival burial", and does not pay attention to the things after death, turning into a pinch of dust, the sky is a monument, and the earth is a tomb, which is not a good destination.
The waist cards of the three junior disciples were carefully collected by him, and these three waist cards will be returned to the Mo family with him, and placed in the mourning hall dedicated to the ink people, and the admiration of the ink people and even the people in future generations.
"From here to Jicheng, you can also take the Jinzhou line, and with the waist card of the ink man, you should be able to save a lot of trouble along the way. Bai Qi said: "But I listen to Engong's accent as if he is from the Mo family, why is the Engong so unfamiliar with the Mo family?"
"It's not that I'm a stranger. Qin Ke shook his head and said: "I was born in a small place, except for escaping the famine, I have never been anywhere, even if the territory of the Mo family is vast and the first in the world, what does it have to do with me? What I can see, isn't it just this in front of me?"
"Such a piece in front of you?" Bai Qi lowered his head and repeated Qin Ke's words a few times, and said with a slight smile: "Engong's words seem to be superficial, but they actually contain philosophy. What people can see is not only this square inch of land in front of them, all the countries in the world, princes and princes, today you beat me, tomorrow I will beat you, call back and forth, how far can the final eye reach? Even the founding emperor of the Ji Dynasty turned into a piece of loess thousands of years ago, and heaven and earth were tombs...... Love, non-attack, I don't know if there will be a day when everyone will love each other in this world, and there will be no war. ”
Qin Ke looked at Bai Qi dumbfounded, and said, "I just said it casually, how did it become a philosophy in your mouth......?"
"Eun Gong ......"
"Don't call me Engong. Qin Ke waved his hand impatiently, "My surname is Qin, and my single name is a Ke character, you can just call me by my name." ”
Bai nodded his head and asked, "Then does Brother Qin want to go with me?"
I made an appointment to meet in Jinzhou, and if they were also riding horses these days, I am afraid they would have arrived a long time ago. ”
"In that case, sooner rather than later. Bai Qi didn't know what he thought, his face was a little gloomy, "This bastard is too guarded, he indulges smuggling on weekdays, fills his pockets, and at the same time imposes heavy taxes on the people under his rule, if it is still a few years ago, how can the ink man let this scum run rampant in the world?"
Qin Ke looked at his indignant appearance, chewing on their ink spirit in his heart, but finally shook his head and sighed: "But even the Mo family, didn't there be such a famine and war rebellion back then......
Although Qin Ke only mentioned it casually and did not contain any special meaning, this sentence fell into Bai Qi's ears, but it was like lightning flashing suddenly in the night sky.
His face changed, and he thought of Qin Ke's Mojia accent, and the exiled people ...... Could it be ......
Bai Qi stared at Qin Ke with his eyes and said, "Brother Qin said before that he fled with his parents...... Are you talking about the catastrophe of the Mo family back then?"
Qin Ke looked at him, in fact, he didn't like to mention this matter.
Old people often say that children can't remember things from their childhood, but Qin Ke thinks that it must be the old man's contemptuous view of children, at least in his mind, he has never forgotten those for a day, and even as soon as he closes his eyes, he can see in front of him the appearance of starving for thousands of miles, countless ragged people struggling to move forward in hunger, thirst and sparks.
"It's the catastrophe. Qin Ke said: "My father and mother...... And my sister, who died in that catastrophe. After only half a month of going out, the dry food in the grain bag has been eaten, the weeds on the roadside, the fish and shrimp in the river...... Later, there were people everywhere who snatched the bark of the roots of the trees, and at first people could kill wild dogs, but then they were all so hungry that they were not as good as dogs...... And those who can't even grab the bark of the roots have to dig up the dirt on the ground......"
But that thing...... Even if the water is mixed with mud and sand, it is difficult to swallow.
But their bodies seemed to be crazy, and their hands were desperately trying to stuff the hard clod of dirt into their mouths, just because at that time, their bodies seemed to have a dry well that could never be filled, and hunger, endless hunger, made them lose their minds.
But the earth, like the hands of demons, slowly swelled in their bellies, and finally devoured their lives.
He didn't mention that his sister was being cooked by his parents, it was like a thorn in his heart forever, and the slightest touch would make him unable to breathe.
Qin Ke closed his eyes and stopped talking, and in front of his eyes, Zhuge Wolong's warm big hand seemed to appear again, he was standing in front of him with a limp leg, crutches, and sweating profusely.
He asked softly, "Can you still stand up?" Do you want to come with me? Perhaps, we can live together......
At that time, he only felt that Zhuge Wolong's eyes seemed to carry all things in the world, carrying all the vitality that could rejuvenate the earth, and that face that was a little embarrassed but still radiant, made Qin Ke put aside all doubts and timidity, he stretched out his hand hard, and finally shook it with Zhuge Wolong's big hand.
Bai Qi's face turned slightly pale when he heard this, and he couldn't help but laugh at himself when he looked at Qin Ke's young but somewhat lonely figure.
Originally, I thought that he was young and promising, and he thought that he would rush into the cavalry battle alone in order to punish evil and promote good, and he could kill more than a dozen people in a row without changing his face.
But who knows, he actually has some unspeakable past......
