Chapter 256: Decision
Sunrise and sunset, the cycle repeats, but time is gone.
Before I knew it, a month passed quietly.
In a hidden place, there is depression in the ordinary days.
Halfway up the mountain, two little boys and a little girl were digging wild vegetables.
The cold wind was like a knife, leaving scars on the three pairs of immature little hands.
The little girl seemed a little tired, stood up, and tapped her little hand on her waist. She looked into the distance and asked softly, "Brother Xuan, how long are we going to stay here?"
A little boy looked up, his clear eyes full of strength. He said lightly: "For a long time. ”
The little girl said coquettishly: "Brother Xuan, how long has it been? Yu'er misses her father, and Yu'er wants to go back to Chaotianque." ”
Another little boy looked around and saw that there was no one, so he whispered: "My mother said that there are only these people left in the valley in Chaotianque, and everyone else has been killed by the sect master's enemy." Our fathers were all killed in battle, and Chaotianque can't go back. ”
Xuan clenched his teeth and said sharply: "Zhao Qiang, don't talk nonsense!"
Zhao Qiang was unconvinced and said: "I'm not talking nonsense, it's been almost three months......"
Xuan interrupted Zhao Qiang, his eyes became cold, and he shouted angrily: "You shut up for me!"
Zhao Qiang snorted coldly, lifted the basket, and turned to leave.
Yu'er's eyes were filled with tears, and she choked up: "Brother Xuan, is Daddy really dead?"
Xuan took a deep breath, walked in front of Yu'er, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, and said in a deep voice: "Yu'er, the sect master will definitely avenge us, and we will definitely be able to return to Chaotianque!"
Yu'er muttered, "But ......"
Xuan interrupted Yu'er, and Zhengse said, "Does Yu'er believe Brother Xuan?"
Yu'er nodded.
Xuan continued, "Does Yu'er believe in the sect master?"
Yu'er nodded heavily.
After that, they left.
On the mountain peak, two figures stand quietly, Yanshan and Mengtian. They saw the scene clearly and heard it clearly.
Meng Tian felt the same way, and at some point, two tears had crossed his cheeks.
Yan Shan's expression was solemn and fell into deep thought.
I have no choice but to kill.
But what about the others?
Shopkeeper Xu, puppy, fat dun, men, women and children in Zhangjia Village...... I don't kill Beren, but Beren dies because of me.
The old-timers who taught me the method of the afterimage body - I am self-righteous and exhausted, which is really sad and ridiculous!
The first battle of the mountain village, the first battle of the Green Willow Villa, and the first stop of Chaotianque...... Too many people have died for me, is it really worth it?
This is a point of no return.
Countless people have died by my sword, and I am willing to carry everything.
It's still a long way to go, and I have to keep going.
But what about the others?
In any case, they should have the right to choose.
Yan Shan wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeves, and his gaze became more determined.
Meng Tian didn't speak, just gently held Yan Shan's hand.
Yan Shan came back to his senses at this time, smiled slightly, and said softly: "Tian'er, let's go buy New Year's goods, so that everyone can have a happy New Year, okay?"
Meng Tian smiled and said coquettishly: "Okay!"
......
The night was still hazy, and Yan Shan, Meng Tian, Shi Potian, Li He, Yan Ruyu, Zhang Ye and the three gray-clothed men left the hidden place. They did not make a detour to the Taiping Palace of the Qing Dynasty, but went directly out of the mountain.
There were doubts, but no one opened their mouths, because they believed.
The New Year is approaching, and the market is crowded with people.
Yanshan changed the norm and regarded the purchase of New Year's goods as a top priority. Food, wear, wear, use, play, offering, sending, dry, fresh, raw, cooked, he selected them one by one, did it himself, and never sloppily at all.
Unconsciously, the sun is setting, and the afterglow is sprinkled on the mountains, quiet and beautiful.
The nine figures returned with a full load, already exhausted.
However, they all had big smiles on their faces.
In the days that followed, the Hidden Place was bustling with activity, and everyone was preparing for the New Year.
In a wooden house, Yan Shan, Yan Ruyu and a dignified and generous woman sat around a square table, and two children stood next to them, it was Xuan and Yu'er.
Yan Shan asked casually, "Sister-in-law, are you still used to living here?"
The woman smiled and said, "It's good, everyone takes care of each other, just like a family." ”
Yan Shan nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "If there is any need, sister-in-law can speak, Yan Shan will definitely do her best." ”
At this time, Xuan spoke. He said with a serious face: "Sect Master, Xuan'er wants to learn martial arts, so that he can protect his mother and sister." ”
Yan Shan showed a look of relief on his face, and said softly: "Is Xuan'er afraid of hardship?"
Xuan said without hesitation: "Xuan'er is not afraid. ”
Yan Shan asked again: "In order to learn martial arts, are you willing to bear all the consequences?"
Xuan Wei groaned and said loudly, "I am willing." ”
Yan Shan nodded slightly, and then looked at the woman.
The woman said, "Everything is decided by the sect master. ”
Yan Shan seemed to think of something, and muttered: "Sister-in-law, you have to think clearly." ”
The woman nodded heavily.
Yan Shan smiled happily, his eyes full of gratitude.
Because of trust.
In the end, Yan Ruyu put five silver tickets of one hundred taels on the table.
The woman hurriedly picked up the silver ticket, stuffed it back into Yan Ruyu's hand, and said casually: "Hall Master Yan, how can this be done?"
Yan Ruyu said in a deep voice: "Sister-in-law, you must accept it, so that we can feel better in our hearts." ”
The woman wanted to say something, but she didn't speak, and tears were already blurring her eyes.
Then, Yan Shan and Yan Ruyu went to the second and third houses......
condolences, sent five hundred taels of silver tickets, and no one was missing.
It is like Xuan'er's family who absolutely trust Yanshan, and there are also those who want to leave.
Of course, they have the right to make a choice.
Time passes in a blissful hustle.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, the hidden place is lit up.
The weather is cold, the cold wind is howling, but the heart is warm.
The dishes are sumptuous, the wine is fragrant, and there is a joyful scene.
Yan Shan raised a bowl of wine and said loudly: "We can gather here, this is fate." The first bowl of wine, respect fate!"
"Respect fate!"
The voice fell, and the first bowl of wine was drunk.
Yan Shan raised the second bowl of wine and continued: "In the battle against the sky, countless siblings fought hard and died on the battlefield. The second bowl of wine, for love!"
"For the sake of love!"
After drinking the second bowl of wine, tears moistened countless eyes.
The third bowl was full.
Yan Shan picked up the wine bowl, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Yan Shan has high hopes, and countless siblings have died on the battlefield, and the rest of the people can only survive in the secret place. At the moment, Yanshan is full of strong enemies, and once the hidden place is discovered, it will be a bloody battle, and nine deaths will be lived. After tonight, anyone can choose to leave, this is your right, and Yanshan will not stop it. The third bowl of wine, see you off!" The words fell, and he drank it all.
There was silence, a deathly silence.
Yan Shan smiled indifferently and said in a deep voice: "Gathering together is fate, good gathering and dispersing, tonight, Yan Shan will be for you." After tonight, everyone can start a new life!"
Drops of hot tears rolled down.
Bowls of spirits are silently served in the mouth.
Two tears crossed his cheeks, crystal clear in the firelight, and it was particularly poignant. Yan Shan didn't care, and laughed loudly: "Tonight, we won't get drunk and won't return!"
"If you don't get drunk, you won't go home!"
......
This night is destined to be hearty.
This night is destined to be remembered.
