Chapter Twenty-Seven: Who?!
After that, Ji Wanying never saw Cangma again, and she was about to forget about this person. And Cangma didn't know that the stranger who had saved him once would become the most important person in the rest of his life.
Ji Wanying still often dresses up as a man and sneaks out to play, but slowly she finds that wherever she goes, she will hear people talking about the name Cangma.
The diners in the restaurant are praising how righteous Cangma is, the drinkers in the tavern are also praising how good Cangma's alcohol is, and the storyteller in the teahouse is telling the legendary story of Cangma every day.
Although he was a bandit, no one ever said a "no" to him, and even the children on the streets began to imitate Cangma's style. For example, in the past, when children complimented each other while playing, they would say "you are awesome, you are amazing". But nowadays, if you praise a child for being powerful, he will say "you are really Cang", which means that you are very powerful like Cangma.
At the beginning, Ji Wanying could only sigh that she didn't save the wrong person at the beginning. Later, after hearing that Cangma had helped many people, she would sigh again, fortunately she saved Cangma, otherwise these people would be very pitiful. Later, she would keep imagining what Cangma looked like in her mind, and gradually she realized that she could not forget this person.
Their second encounter was also by chance.
No, it shouldn't be called an accident, because that day everyone knew that Cangma would come, and to be precise, everyone hoped that Cangma would come.
The town was going to execute a death row prisoner, but the death row prisoner was only a child, his name was Luo Fei, and he was only nine years old at the time.
His crime was to poison the landlord's seven cows, and because he couldn't afford to pay for it, he had to behead him to death.
Three years ago, Luo Fei's grandmother was seriously ill, and his father had to borrow five taels of silver from the landlord in order to treat his grandmother. But in the end, Luo Fei's grandmother died, and his father used it to pay off the debt after collecting five taels of silver in the following half a year, but unexpectedly, the previous five taels of silver on the IOU became fifty taels at this time. His father knew that the landlord deceived him into being illiterate and deliberately blackmailed him, but the landlord had no choice but to consider himself unlucky. In the following three years, his father repaid a total of more than 60 taels of silver, but the arrears changed from 50 taels three years ago to 150 taels. His father could no longer bear the exploitation of the landlord, so he asked someone to write a letter to sue the landlord to the yamen. However, the landlord and the county magistrate had already colluded, not only confiscated the Luo family's ten acres of paddy land, but also sentenced Luo Fei to the landlord's house as a slave. After Luo Fei was taken to the landlord's house, he kept his anger in mind, the purpose of which was to find an opportunity to poison the landlord's family to avenge his father, but the fact that he went to the pharmacy to buy arsenic was leaked. This failed to poison people, only the seven cows.
On the day of the execution, the court was surrounded by ordinary people, and everyone knew the whole story, but no one dared or could stand up to avenge Luo Fei. When some old people saw the miserable appearance of Luo Fei tied to the execution table, they couldn't help but secretly wipe their tears.
As soon as three o'clock in the afternoon, the county commander ordered the executioner to remove the cloth blocked in Luo Fei's mouth and asked, "Does the prisoner Luo Fei have any last words?"
Luo Fei glared at the county order and scolded fiercely: "Cangma will come to save me, you bitch-raised beasts have to die!"
"Plug his mouth in my mouth and kill him!"
The white sunlight reflected on the bright blade, and the hearts of those who shine on it are chilling.
Where is the reason, where is the justice? Cangma, will he come today?
The executioner held the knife tightly, he killed many people, but did not dare to look the child in the eye. He knew that even if the knife was swung down, his eyes would not close, and he would not be able to blind his eyes.
"Niu Er, what are you waiting for, hurry up!"
The executioner Niu Er finally made up his mind, this is the bowl of rice he eats, and the county order asked him to do it, how dare he disrespect the order.
Luo Fei knew that he was going to die, but he was unwilling, he struggled with all his strength. He couldn't just be killed, he wanted to run, even if he knew he couldn't, he still had to struggle. With his hands and feet tied, he could only burrow on the ground like a loach.
"Hold him down, cut me down!"
"Yes!"
The two soldiers on the left and right immediately stepped forward and held Luo Fei down, and one of the soldiers secretly said in Luo Fei's ear: "No one will save you, go on the road early, and vote for a good family in the next life!"
"Phew!" Luo Fei spat out the cloth ball in his mouth, "Cangma will come to save me!He will kill you all!" He roared like crazy, tears of despair sliding down his cheeks, he didn't want to die, he really didn't want to die. He knew that his only hope for survival was that the legendary hero Cangma would appear in front of him, but he had never known him all his life, would he really come?
"He's coming!" Luo Fei shouted desperately with all his strength: "Cangma will definitely come!"
The onlookers were also thinking, if only Cangma could come to save him!
"Let's do it!" the two soldiers almost couldn't catch Luo Fei.
The long white knife swung down his head!
Ji Wanying was also determined to save him when she saw this, she had already heard the story about this child from others, and she couldn't let this child die unjustly.
But at this very moment.
"Stop!"
A deep, powerful voice came from the end of the street, and the words were like an arrow that pierced through the heavy crowd and nailed to the tip of the executioner's knife, so that his knife stopped in mid-air.
The people outside the court immediately retreated to the sides and made way for a wide path.
He only said two words, but he was so angry, as if time had stood still for him.
Cangma took the lead, and there were only four or five followers behind him, but in the eyes of people, he was as confident as seeing a heavenly soldier and a general.
In the blink of an eye, he jumped onto the execution table.
Everyone was looking at Cangma from afar, he was more heroic than what was said in the play, and no one said a word at this time, no one blinked again, because the scene in front of them was really more wonderful than any moment in their lives.
"Don't do it yet!" the county commander pointed to the executioner, "There are only five of them, why should you be afraid of him?"
Cangma didn't speak, but the executioners and soldiers waited for him to speak.
Cang pulled the reins and slowly walked to Luo Fei's side, the child was simply stunned, he couldn't say a word of excitement, just kept crying and inhaling snot.
Cangma smiled at him, that smile made Luo Fei's heart immediately become firm, and let courage and confidence instantly penetrate every cell in his body, he knew that he would never forget this moment in his life.
"Untie up. He said lightly.
His voice was not loud, but warm and powerful. The executioner was afraid that the two soldiers would not hear clearly, so he hurriedly repeated: "Quickly loosen the tie." ”
Two soldiers scrambled to untie the rope.
The county commander roared angrily: "I am the county commander, you all have to listen to me." ”
The two soldiers almost paused, their eyes kept looking at Cangma, but the movements of their hands did not stop, they were afraid that their actions to untie the rope were not sharp enough to make Cangma angry.
"You are indeed a county magistrate. Cangma glanced back at the county order and said, "But you're going to die soon." Then she turned her head away and didn't look at him again.
The appearance of no one around him is simply imposing.
The magistrate almost fell back into his chair, his legs were shaking, he couldn't stand even if he wanted to run, he didn't know how to put his hands, he wanted to talk but his teeth were fighting. He wasn't dead, but he felt like he was.
Luo Fei was untied and stood in front of Cangma, looking at Cangma motionlessly.
"Come up. Cangma stretched out his hand to him.
Luo Fei wiped his tears with his sleeve, took two steps forward, and was carried on the horse by the big hand. It was the first time in his life that he had ridden a horse.
"Are you sitting still?"
"Hmm!" Luo Fei nodded vigorously.
Cangma turned the horse's head and took two steps to the county commander's side.
"You, you, you...... You can't kill me......" The county commander hurriedly waved his hand.
Cang Ma Li didn't pay attention to him, and cut the throat of the county order with a sword. Blood splashed on Luo Fei's face, and he didn't even blink an eye.
"Who else?"
"Him!" Luo Fei pointed to the landlord who was about to escape.
Cangma shouted, "Come here!"
The landlord immediately fixed his body and did not dare to move. The horse slapped the horse and arrived, and when the sword was swung, the head immediately fell to the ground.
His method of killing is so simple that cutting off a head is like cutting off a green onion. But instead of being afraid of him, the people felt very happy in their hearts, as if everyone was expecting him to kill.
"What's your name?" Cangma asked, putting away his sword.
"Luo Fei!"
"Come with me. ”
"Good!"
Cangma comes and goes quickly, he behaves and does things like his sword, never dragging mud and water.
When he went back, the road was still reserved for him, and it was very wide, and it was okay to ride three or four in parallel. But the people would rather crowd on both sides than stand half a step forward, in order to let the horses flow unimpeded.
"Cangma!"
No one spoke, everyone was applauding, and one called his name.
"Is that you?"
"It's me. ”
"Do you want to come with me?"
Ji Wanying hesitated for a moment, then stomped her foot violently, and made up her mind: "Go!" If you don't go with him this time, there will be no more opportunities like this in the future.
"Give him a horse. ”
At this time, Cangma still didn't know that Ji Wanying was a daughter, and he wanted to take her away in order to repay his kindness. I didn't take her away last time, because whoever had a relationship with Cangma in the past had to suffer murder. But this time is different, now as long as Cangma's name is mentioned, everyone has to respect him.
(BGM: "Ah Zhen" fell in love with "Ah Qiang", on a starry night, the plane flew overhead, and the meteor also pierced the night sky.) Although life does not have any meaning, love does make life more beautiful...... )
Everything is like a passing cloud, all the good past has dissipated, and all that remains is the cold reality.
Today, ten years later, in the Heavenly Sword Sect, in this small courtyard of the most inconspicuous sect in the entire sect.
Cangma looked at Ji Wanying like this, but suddenly, he found that the other party's gaze was so indifferent, as if he was a non-existent person, her gaze passed through him and then fell into the distance.
He couldn't help but look at himself, for the first time he realized that he was dressed so shabby. The black robe was full of wrinkles, and hung loosely on the body, and the buttons on the collar were broken, and the placket was pulled down diagonally.
Lao Gao, who rolled up the two sleeves, like an old peasant, quickly pretended to put them down inadvertently, but one of the sleeves had long since broken down, and his elbow slipped directly out of the sleeve.
He was so embarrassed that he lowered his head, his trousers were covered in mud, not even the two leggings. One foot was tied with strips of cloth, and when the strip of cloth on the other foot broke, he simply tied it with hemp rope. Now that I look at it, it's so much of an eyesore.
Before, he had never cared about this, but now he felt a little embarrassed.
Compared with the two, no one would think that Cangma would have anything to do with the lady in front of him.
Ji Wanying was wearing a light cyan Luo shirt, the materials were made of the finest silk, the workmanship was exquisite, and the cut was decent, which perfectly set off her innate elegant temperament. She doesn't have a lot of jewelry, but it's all very elegant, so that it can't take away her own style, but can also play a subtle role in embellishment.
The gap between the two was silently widened.
"I have a few words to say to you. Ji Wanying said lightly, and then she slowly swept past Cangma and walked straight into the house.
Cangma followed her and entered the room.
"Bring the door shut. ”
With a squeak, the dilapidated wooden door was pulled shut by the horse.
"The foal didn't come today. ”
"She's not coming today. Ji Wanying always turned her back to Cangma, "Don't call him a colt in the future." ”
Cangma wanted to say something, but he couldn't open his mouth after a few times.
"Let's go. Ji Wanying's tone had a commanding element in it, "Get out of here, go anywhere, in short, don't come back in the future." ”
"I ......"
She waited for him to speak, but he didn't say anything.
"I've been doing well over the years, Xiao Chengfeng has treated me very well, we already have feelings between us, so don't have any other thoughts. ”
The broad shoulders suddenly drooped, and it was as if he had suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Yes, ten years, ten years have passed, everything will change, and she will fall in love with others......
He placed his palm flat on his chest, the sachet he had kept close to him, but now it seemed to have lost its meaning.
"So you'd better go as far as possible, and you don't have to worry about anything else. ”
"I can't go. Cangma seemed to have made up his mind, "Even if you fall in love with him, I won't blame you." ”
Her heart suddenly twisted, she knew that she would be like this, but when she came, she had already made up her mind, she had to cut off Cangma, and it was for his good. She couldn't let him suffer for herself anymore, and she couldn't let him be hurt for herself again.
Cangma continued, "And this can't be a reason for me to leave, because Xiao Tianju is my son, and I have to let him return to me." ”
"Ridiculous. Ji Wanying said coldly: "Do you think he will recognize you as a father, in a few years, he will be the sect master of the Heavenly Sword Sect, or even the head of the Heavenly Sword Sect, why does he recognize you as his father, who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to say such things?"
She was aggressive: "Have you raised him for a day, the first man he saw when he was born was Xiao Chengfeng, and it wasn't you, why do you say he is your son?"
She thought that the deeper she hurt him, the more painful he would be, and the more painful he was, the more he should give up. But after the words were spoken, she realized that the most painful person was herself.
"I ......" Cangma was so choked that he couldn't speak, he couldn't argue with her, but he still had to say: "I am his father, I have a reason to be good to him, this is what parents should do." There's nothing wrong with me doing this, I can do it. ”
He was still as stubborn as ever, but she had to find a way to convince him as soon as possible, because she had no reason to talk to this man in private.
"My father will be here in a few days, you know, he's here for you this time, he's going to kill you, so you'd better leave first. ”
"He's already come to me, just yesterday ......"
Bang!, the wooden door was kicked and smashed from the outside!
The two of them turned almost together, and when they saw that face, they were all speechless!
