Chapter 377: Reunion
"You mean, in the end, it was Sect Master Chen who helped you block the people who were chasing you, and then this sword took you out?"
After listening to Mrs. Chen's incoherent talk for about half an hour, Xiao Che, who had already cleaned up the broken temple out of a vacant lot, sat down expressionlessly, and then took advantage of the situation to interrupt Mrs. Chen.
"Yes. ”
Mrs. Chen replied with a low expression.
"Crow Jiu took me to fly for a day and a night, and when my spiritual power was exhausted, I fell down directly, I didn't expect such a coincidence to meet you here, Brother Xiao Che!"
Mrs. Chen's gloomy eyes finally had a hint of brilliance.
Hearing this, Xiao Che's gaze involuntarily fell on the Nine Swords in Chen Tai'a's arms, he didn't think it was a coincidence.
On the long journey from Kunlun Mansion to Qiushui, his grandfather Xiao Changge told him almost all the secrets of the Ten Prefectures he knew.
Among them is the Nine Swords of the Crows.
Although Xiao Changge's story about the Nine Swords of the Crow is not very exciting, the reason why Xiao Che still remembers it is because the Nine Crows is the only "demon sword" in the Ten States, this sword is different from those spirit swords that have a sword first and then a god, and this sword is said to have been transformed by a big demon in the Ten States at the beginning.
Therefore, the coincidence in Mrs. Chen's mouth is very likely to be the ghost of this "Crow Nine" in Xiao Che's opinion.
"I don't know how my dad is doing now, whether he escaped or not. ”
But just as Xiao Che was thinking about this question, Mrs. Chen began to talk to herself and continued to talk.
Xiao Che was never a person who could comfort others, so he took care of himself and began to do his own work.
He first dug a shallow pit in the open space with a dagger, then neatly arranged the dry firewood that had been prepared next to him, and finally used the accumulated True Yuan index finger to lightly swipe on a piece of dry firewood, which was instantly ignited.
"Brother Xiao Che, do you think my father can escape?"
Mrs. Chen, who was on the side, asked worriedly.
At this time, Xiao Che was using the lit dry firewood to ignite the entire pyre with difficulty, and it seemed that he had no time to pay attention to Chen Tai'a's question.
"My dad is so powerful, he can definitely escape, right?"
"There have been a few times in the past when other sects have come to seek revenge, and each time my father has easily driven them away. ”
Mrs. Chen, who didn't get a response from Xiao Che, then came to Xiao Che.
And Xiao Che, who was choked by the smoke and half-squinted, turned his head and continued to ignite the fire.
"You've also seen my dad compete with your grandfather, my dad is very good, right?"
Mrs. Chen took the trouble to move her body and asked behind Xiao Che.
Finally, the entire small pyre was ignited, and the dark ruined temple instantly lit up, and Xiao Che let out a long sigh with a smile of relief.
Xiao Che, who seemed to be very satisfied with his work, rubbed his hands at the fire with satisfaction, and said without looking back:
"Your dad didn't escape, he's been arrested. ”
"Arrested?!"
Xiao Che just said a word to "choke" Mrs. Chen, who had been chattering in his ear.
After being stunned for a few seconds, he shook his head violently and said:
"Impossible, my father will definitely be able to escape, even if my second and fourth uncles combined are not his opponents, no one can stop him. ”
After speaking, his big bright eyes were still staring at Xiao Che, as if he wanted the other party to retract what he had just said.
"No matter how strong he is, he is still a person. ”
Xiao Che said lightly.
"But, but ......"
Without waiting for Chen Tai'a to continue to distinguish, Xiao Che stood up and walked outside the broken temple, and used a dagger to neatly remove the scales and guts of the sea fish he caught, and then wash them.
And it didn't take long for Chen Tai'a to follow her to the outside of the broken temple, watching Xiao Che work with blank eyes.
"It's all my fault, if it weren't for me, my father wouldn't have been special, come back to save me, these people will definitely not find my father. ”
As if recognizing the fact that it was difficult for his father to escape, his expression became more and more depressed.
"Indeed, if Uncle Chen is alone, it is not difficult to escape. ”
Xiao Che seemed to turn a blind eye to Chen Tai'a's loss, and even quite agreed with what he just said.
As he spoke, he scooped a scoop of water next to a large water tank in front of the broken temple and washed the fresh fish in his hand.
"Why are you still so choking like you used to be. ”
Mrs. Chen pouted unhappily.
"Or else?"
One foot was raised, and he was just about to step into the broken temple, Xiao Che turned his head to look at Mrs. Chen when he heard the words.
"Are you going to let me comfort you, and tell you it's not your fault?"
He said in a cold tone.
For a while, Chen Tai'a was speechless again.
"Make no mistake about it, it's your fault. If you were stronger, you might have been able to escape on your own, but you were too weak. If you had been smarter, you might have been able to see through their schemes, but you weren't smart enough, and if you had had been braver, you might have stayed with your father and shared his troubles, but you weren't brave enough. So you have to understand that your situation at the moment, your father's situation, is all your fault, and you can't escape it. ”
After speaking, Xiao Che walked into the broken temple without heading.
"That's right, it's all my fault......"
Chen Tai'a, who was stunned by Xiao Che's words like a cannonball, suddenly lowered her head.
He slowly turned around and walked down the hill step by step, his small figure soon submerged in the blue and inky color of the mountain and disappeared.
Xiao Che naturally noticed Mrs. Chen's departure, but he still didn't turn his head, just silently put half of the fish in his hand into the pot, and half of it was roasted by the fire with bamboo slices, and then in this ruined temple with no roof, he silently sat on the ground and hugged his knees, frowning slightly and staring at the dancing flames on the fire in a daze.
Compared with Mrs. Chen, Xiao Che's heart has grown a lot in the past year.
Although he has always had no good face for anyone other than his family, and he always speaks harshly, the reason why he was able to say those words to Mrs. Chen just now was that he saw the shadow of himself on Mrs. Chen's flustered and overwhelmed face, and he hated himself very much for losing his mind, being extremely uneasy, and very weak.
"Alas...... This idiot. ”
I don't know how long it took, Xiao Che suddenly lowered his head and sighed.
Then I saw him stand up abruptly and was about to go out of the temple.
However, as soon as he turned around, he stopped, only to see a young man at the door of the ruined temple holding a sword and grinning at him.
Although he smiled brightly, Xiao Che still saw the tears that had not been wiped off the corners of his eyes, as well as the uneasiness and loneliness in the depths of his eyes.
"Your grilled fish is so delicious. ”
As if nothing had happened, the young man walked straight into the ruined temple and sat down next to Xiao Che again, and then smiled and reached out to get the grilled fish by the fire.
