Qingqiu Chapter 3 Changes
The sky is blue, the rain is wet, on the top of the cliff, Shui Hao closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, his hands were sealed under the umbilicus, his chest rose and fell slightly, and between breathing and breathing, there was a faint white aura along his mouth and nose and into his body. If Shui Bo was here, he would definitely find that the aura that entered Shui Hao's body was darker in color and thicker. At the same time, a faint red light emanated from Shui Hao's ribs, flickering rhythmically between the flow of his aura.
And Shui Hao didn't notice all this, as usual, he had no distractions in his mind and was immersed in cultivation. Suddenly, Shui Hao took a hard breath and slowly spit it out, and the red light under his ribs disappeared as if it had never appeared, completely silent.
Shui Hao slowly opened his eyes and looked up in the direction of the Yingshui River. There, the town of the water clan is the Yingshui River, and the family is built along the Yingshui River. In the haze, there are wooden stilted buildings, layered and scattered.
Thinking that he would return to the Shui Yi clan with Shui Bo today, Shui Hao felt strange and confused. How should I get along with them? Do they welcome me? Why did my grandfather, who had ignored him for so many years, suddenly let him go back? Shui Hao was at a loss, and too many questions were entangled.
Shui Hao shook his head vigorously: "I don't want to, I don't need to deliberately beg them, I haven't lived well with Shui Bo all these years! As for the problem of his physique, if the Shui clan can solve it, my father will not go away." Thinking of this, Shui Hao walked quickly towards the hut.
From a distance, I saw that the door of the thatched hut was slightly open, and there was a small space in the house, and there were four people sitting in the room, and Shui Bo stood respectfully aside. There are two people sitting on the left, one of them is Shui Weihan, who Shui Hao knows, and the old man sitting on Shui Qiang's head is white-haired and black-bearded, energetic, and exudes a momentum of not being angry and self-assured. On the right seat sat an old woman, with a childish face and crane hair, kind eyebrows like silver, a red face, two bright eyes, and a delicate girl in her hand.
And at this moment, the girl said something to the old woman excitedly, and the old woman nodded vigorously, occasionally asking Shui Bo a few words.
Suddenly, the old woman and the old man turned their heads to look out of the door almost at the same time, and the others were stunned, followed by Shui Bo excitedly walked out of the door, took Shui Hao's hand and said, "Come in, little master." “
Walking in the door with Shui Bo, I felt everyone's eyes, surprised, scrutinized and curious. Especially the old man at the top, Shui Hao felt a sense of weakness and guilt in his gaze, and he was also a little confused.
"This is your grandfather......" Shui Zhihan left his seat, took Shui Hao's hand, and walked to the old man and said: "Back then, my father was physically strong, but he was still thirty or forty years old at the age of sixty or seventy, but after the eldest brother disappeared, my father turned white overnight and ...... overnight."
Shui Zhihan's words were extremely heavy, and Shui Hao's heart was sour when he heard it. Shui Bo said that his grandfather's name was Shui Chengze, and as the patriarch of the Shui clan, he was also a top Fa master.
Because of the nourishment of water spiritual power, Dharma practitioners have a long lifespan. And now that my grandfather has turned white overnight, the blow of my father's departure to the old man can be imagined. Thinking of this, the resentment in my heart that I didn't care about my grandfather also dissipated a lot at this moment.
Shui Hao hurriedly knelt at the feet of the old man: "Grandson Shui Hao, I have seen my grandfather."
"It's the son of Hanshan...... Is it Shui Hao?" the old man slowly stood up, looked at the young face in front of him, and in a trance, he actually saw the shadow of his son Shui Hanshan when he was a teenager, and in a trance, he saw his son say to himself in high spirits, he will lead the Shui clan back to the peak......
Thinking of Shuihan Mountain, who is now missing, the old man's eyes were red, and he hurriedly bent down and pulled Shui Hao up, and said tremblingly: "Hurry up, let my grandfather take a good look, it's been eighteen years." ”
"Okay, Shui Chengze, old woman, I'm not here to see your ancestors and grandchildren catch up, let's get down to business first. The old woman who sat on the top stood up and said, "At the beginning, our two clans had an agreement that you would expel the father and son of Shui Hanshan from the Shui clan and not see each other for eighteen years. Now that eighteen years have passed, it is time to hand him over to me and fulfill your promise to the water clan. ”
"Old sister, don't be impatient. Looking at Shui Hao, whose face was full of doubts, Shui Chengze let out a long sigh and said, "Hao'er, you may have heard that your father Hanshan and Miss Tu Shan's seventh lady were engaged. Then your father and your mother made a secret agreement for life, and they had you. I didn't think about the seventh miss of the Tushan family......"
Shui Chengze looked up at the old woman, he didn't know how to continue.
"Hmph, I'll tell you about it," the old woman snorted heavily, "Qiqi fainted when she heard this, and when she woke up, she locked herself in her room, not eating or drinking. It wasn't until later that he heard that Shui Hanshan was missing, and he died of depression soon after. ”
Everyone listened to the old woman's story, or sighed or sighed, with a melancholy expression and a look of regret. Shui Hao's eyes saw the figure of a sad woman.
There was a sudden whimpering cry in his ears, and Shui Hao followed the sound to look up. The little girl who came with the old woman threw herself into the old woman's arms at this time, and said in a choked voice: "Mother-in-law, my sister-in-law is so pitiful." ”
"All right, kid! let's stop crying. We are here today to fulfill your sister-in-law's last wish. The old woman patted the little girl on the back and said softly.
Hearing the old woman's words, the little girl raised her head and pointed at Shui Hao: "Mother-in-law, is that him?
"Yes, you are the most suitable child to inherit your sister-in-law's Tibetan spirit. And her last wish is that the heir must marry this kid of the Shui family. The old woman raised her head, looked at Shui Hao and said coldly, "But it's not to marry him, but this kid must join my Tushan clan." ”
"What?" Shui Hao opened his mouth in disbelief and looked at the old woman in astonishment.
Originally, Shui Zhihan told him to let him and Shui Bo go back to the Shui clan together, but today he saw Shui Zhihan bring his grandfather and grandfather and grandson to his house, but Shui Hao never thought that the matter was to join the Tushan clan by himself.
In the eyes of others, he is a person cursed by the god of water, a person who will bring bad luck if he comes into contact with him, and a waste who cannot cultivate.
As the old woman just said, the girl next to the old woman is the one who wants to marry herself. It can be seen from the old woman's attitude towards her that the old woman loves her very much. Shui Hao couldn't figure out what the other party had taken a fancy to him.
Shui Hao turned his head to look at Shui Bo, who looked dazed, obviously not knowing about it.
"Boy, you don't need this expression, this matter was decided by our two clans at that time. If you don't believe me, you can ask your grandfather. Seeing Shui Hao's look of disbelief, the old woman said.
Feeling everyone's gaze, Shui Chengze slowly picked up the already cold tea on the table and put it to his lips, but after a while, he suddenly sighed, with a little helplessness and pain, it seemed that what he was holding in his hand was the most bitter thing, he couldn't drink it, and slowly put it back on the table, and said to Shui Hao in an astringent voice: "Hao'er, this matter is a joint decision of the elders of our two clans, and Shui Bo doesn't know it." ”
"At the beginning, Hanshan and your mother made a private agreement for life and extended you, the marriage between the Shuiyi clan and the Tu Shan clan broke down, and the seventh lady of the Tu Shan family fell ill and died because of this incident, and the two families were once like fire and water. Later, the seventh lady of the Tu Shan family died depressed, and her last words were to marry your father and her inheritor when you were eighteen years old, and you could only settle the matter by joining the Tu Shan clan. Looking up at the old woman, Shui Chengze continued, "At that time, our two clans could barely compete with the Qingqiu Hu family by forming an alliance. If the alliance between the Shui clan and the Tu Shan clan breaks down, it will inevitably cause the Hu family to dominate. The family was forced to agree to your conditions."
"Shui Chengze, do you really have the face to say?" Hearing Shui Chengze say that he was forced to agree to the conditions of the Tu Shan family, the corner of the old woman's mouth twitched, slapped the table, and suddenly stood up and said, "Shui Hao, this kid has failed to awaken and can't cultivate." The entire Yingshui Village, including the Shui Yi Clan, regarded it as a snake and scorpion, and everyone avoided it. If it weren't for our agreement, your Shui clan would have allowed him and an old slave to live here in peace?"
After the old woman finished speaking, she picked up the tea on the table, didn't care about the cold, and drank it all with her head up. looked at Shui Chengze and Shui Zhihan bowed their heads and said silently, and then said: "As the divine servant of my Tushan clan, the seventh girl has the inheritance of my clan. Before she died, she forced me to promise that her inheritor must marry Shui Hao and let Shui Hao join my Tushan clan, so that the Tibetan spirit could be passed on smoothly.
Shui Hao, you have grown up and can understand things and distinguish between right and wrong. The Seven Girl did this to protect you, and even if you can't cultivate, she hopes that you will be safe and happy. The old woman said and got up and took the little girl's hand and came to Shui Hao's side, "Her name is Tu Shan Huanhuan, and she is the inheritor of the Seven Girls." The Tibetan spirit carries the will of the seven girls, and if Huanhuan does not marry you, the inheritance is bound to be cut off. ”
"No matter what, you must join my Tu Shan clan. This is related to the inheritance of our people. After the old woman finished speaking, she patted Shui Hao's shoulder, turned around and said, "Shui Chengze, don't pretend to be dead." Three days later, I sent someone to pick up Shui Hao. Whether our two clans are divided or made is completely dependent on whether Shui Hao is rich or not."
Looking at the old woman who was pulling the little girl out, Shui Chengze hurriedly chased after her: "Old sister, everything is negotiable." ”
"What is there to discuss? Harmony will be fine, and if you divide it, you will never die! Farewell!" After speaking, the old woman walked away.
Shui Chengze sighed helplessly, raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, looking like he had a headache. Looking at Shui Hao, who bowed his head and was silent, he didn't know what to say. The old woman is right, for so many years, he has been evading and having trouble sleeping. He lost his son, and he was forced by oath and pressure to come and see his grandson. He can't give Shui Hao anything, and he can't give it.
For his son Shui Zhihan and Shui Hao's master and servant secretly interacting, he chose to open one eye and close one eye. Now, when it finally came to the day when Shui Hao was married, he didn't know how to convince Shui Hao, and he didn't have the face to say it.
