Chapter Thirty-Seven: May the Butterfly Dance with You
When the man in black said this, he couldn't say any more, he patted his face indiscriminately to calm himself down, and then said: "Who knows, when I woke up and opened my eyes, I found ...... found himself lying on the bed in disheveled clothes, and next to him, there was a girl lying slowly.
I was crazy and didn't know what was going on.
Then, Xu Shicheng took people upstairs and scolded me for being ungrateful, and then, tying me up and going downstairs, a group of people wearing my entourage clothes rescued me and ran out.
Along the way, I had no sense at all, and was completely at the mercy of the dead like a dead man.
Later, the men took me to the edge of the cliff, and suddenly they turned around and pushed me off the cliff and into the sea.
They probably thought I was going to die, so they didn't pursue it again.
They don't know that in our country, there is a kind of secret art that can stop breathing for a long time, and my heart is like ashes, so I just entered that realm.
I was in a daze for how long, and then I was pushed to the shore by the waves.
I lay in a ruined temple for two days and two nights before I came to my senses. I suddenly asked myself, what happened, how is Miss Xu now?
Thinking of Miss Xu Xu, I suddenly had the strength, I went to secretly find something to eat first, and then, in the middle of the night, I sneaked outside the Governor's Mansion to inquire about the situation, but found that the house was holding a funeral, Miss Xu Xu, she was dead!"
As he spoke, the man in black had a hideous look on his face, not knowing whether he was hateful or sad.
"I was like I was dead, when I was caught downstairs by them that day, Miss Xu Xu was obviously still alive, it was only two days, why did she die?
I wanted to break into the house to worship, but I didn't dare to alarm them, so I kept walking around like a lonely ghost, and I thought that I would simply die, so that I could accompany Miss Xuxu.
During the day the next day, they didn't wait for the first seven days before burying Miss Xu Xu, I think it is extremely abnormal, there must be a problem.
When I think about it, I have the motivation to live.
So, I hid by Miss Xu's grave in those days, hoping to find some clues.
Finally, a few days later, I saw the old woman who was waiting for Miss Xu Xu come to the grave to pay her respects.
The old woman was crying and chattering at the grave, and I overheard something terrible.
So, I couldn't hide it anymore and went straight to meet her.
When the old woman saw me, although she was very panicked, after all, she had been doing things in the governor's mansion, and she quickly calmed down, she first asked me a lot of questions, and then, I knelt down and swore that I respected Miss Xu Xu in my heart, how could I do something sorry for her.
The old woman sighed and helped me up, telling me a shocking secret. ”
When the man in black said this, his face also showed a sad and angry expression, he took another sip of wine, and then said slowly: "She said, that day, after I was arrested, Miss Xu Xu also went downstairs, she stopped the old man and asked about something, and later, the two began to quarrel.
The old woman has been serving Miss Xu Xu for more than ten years, and she has never seen her blush at her father, and all the subordinates dare not be around, I just faintly heard Miss Xu Xu keep saying that it is impossible, impossible, and the son is not that kind of person.
Later, the old man beat the young lady and scolded her for being cheap, but the young lady was not angry, she first bowed to the master, and then said that I actually know everything, all this is for military merit or something.
Then, he turned and went upstairs.
She was afraid that something would happen to Miss Xu Xu, so she also followed, but she saw Miss Xu Xu dressing up, and then, she asked me to grind her, she wrote a few lines on her handkerchief, and after writing, she stared at it for a while, smiled, and seemed to be a little happy.
I was relieved to see that she was not so angry, and she asked me to hide the handkerchief, and told me that Childe is a good person, and that Childe should not be blamed for everything that happened.
And said that if I can see my son in the future, I will give him the handkerchief just now, and if I can't see him, I will burn it in front of her grave in a few days.
After saying that, the old woman took out a neatly folded handkerchief from her bosom and handed it to me. I trembled and stroked the handkerchief that was still stained with the fragrance of the girl, carefully opened it, and saw that it was written: If you want to be the king, you will be the wife of the king, but this life is short of hatred, and I wish to turn into a butterfly to dance with you.
I stared at these lines blankly, as if I saw Miss Xu looking at me affectionately.
When the old woman saw my expression, she hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said to me that night, she had been thinking about it and always felt unsure.
Later, in the second half of the night, she heard a noise from Miss Xu's room, so she hurried upstairs to look, but saw Miss Xu Xu masking her face and crashing to death on the wall.
But later, the master announced to the public that Miss Xu Xu committed suicide because she couldn't bear to be insulted by me. ”
The man in black was choked with tears in his eyes at this time.
Lu Jian and Zeng Jiaxi have been listening silently, and they don't know how to persuade them when they are moved by the story of the man in black, and Zeng Jiaxi has been in tears, and it seems that he is even sadder than the man in black.
The man in black adjusted his mood for a moment, and then said: "When I heard this, I fainted, half a ring, and when I woke up, I knelt in front of Miss Xu's grave and cried bitterly.
The old woman cried with me, sighing while crying, saying that it was a pity that Xu Xu, such a good girl, was born in the Xu family, which is a pity.
Later, the old woman said that she was leaving, and she didn't dare to stay at Xu's house, so she asked me to take care and leave by myself.
I refused to leave the tomb, where I sat crying and sitting in a daze for three days.
When I was so hungry that I almost fainted, I don't know why, but my mind was unusually clear, because I lived in the Emperor's house, and I strung all the clues together, and when I thought about it carefully, I guessed a possibility.
So, I decided that I must live, figure things out, and must not let Miss Xu Xu die in an unknown way, at that time, I kowtowed to Miss Xu Xu's grave a few times.
When I straightened up to leave, I saw two colorful butterflies dancing on Miss Xu's grave, as if they wanted to draw endless attachment in the air in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Since that day, I have assumed the name Butterfly, and I hope that butterflies will accompany me for the rest of my life.
Later, after several years of investigation, I finally roughly figured out what happened, but it turned out to be the old thief Xu Shicheng, who wanted to get the treasures I brought, and wanted to find a reason to be promoted. Because Dashun established the country by force,
If a military general wants to be promoted, he can only rely on military merit.
If I enter Beijing and my country returns to obedience, there will be no war, and naturally Xu Shicheng will not be able to reap the benefits, but later because of this incident, he wrote to the court and sent an envoy to condemn my country, saying that I coveted her daughter's beauty and raped her with wine.
Later, I was rescued by my own entourage, because they chased closely, I accidentally fell into the dead and wanted my country to be obedient to the ministers, and to pay a huge amount of compensation to Dashun.
With the strength of our country, whether I believe it or not, I naturally have to apologize, and it is also a matter of obedience, first, he can get a great military feat, and second, he can secretly occupy the treasures I brought before.
This old thief is so calculating, killing two birds with one stone, but he just pities Miss Xuxu. ”
The black-clothed man said in his mouth, patting the table with his hand vigorously, as if it was Xu Shicheng's head.
Lu Jian listened to the man in black talk about the past, his heart was very heavy, he was a simple teenager, even in his hometown town, there have always been people who bullied him, but such a sinister and vicious, in order to achieve his goal, even at the expense of his daughter, the wicked still made him feel afraid of the darkness of human nature.
In order to relieve the butterfly in black from his grief and anger, Zeng Jiaxi wiped away the tears in his eyes and asked him, "Then how did you become an assassin?"
The man in black Butterfly smiled, a little angry, and he said slowly: "That's because I always walked around the Xu Mansion in those years, thinking that if I had the opportunity, I would avenge Miss Xu Xu."
But I don't know if she would be sad if I really hurt her father.
At that time of contradiction, once, someone assassinated Xu Shicheng late at night, but it was unsuccessful, and as a result, that person was inadvertently saved by me.
Later, he asked me why I kept snooping around Xu's house, and I made up a reason, saying that I had a grudge against him for killing relatives.
The man said that with my cultivation, a person will never be able to fulfill his wish, so it is better to join their killer organization, first, you can worship a master first and deepen your cultivation, and second, if you have the opportunity, you can receive a task and complete it yourself.
At that time, I thought that I was a sinner for my country and family, not only did I not succeed in the mission, but I was also accused of being guilty, and I could not return my family and country, and I was a lonely ghost, just an assassin, using the sword to cleanse this filthy world. ”
