Chapter 3: The Shadow Assassin
Of the two spirit pills given by Sun Xing, one was given to Xu's mother to eat, and the other brother was humble to each other, but no one refused to eat it, so they put it in the cabinet.
Xu An packed his bags and set off on a sunny morning. Xu An was able to do such a thing, and Mother Xu was relieved. Although I am a little reluctant, my son has grown up and should go out to see him. Again, it's the right thing to do.
"Brother, take care. Xu Ping hugged Xu An tightly and said.
"Take good care of my mother at home. I went this time, firstly, to send Mr. Xun Geng back to his hometown, and secondly, to be able to learn skills and protect the safety of his family and the town. This time, at least a year and a half, or more than a few years, I can't always be by the side of the bridesmaid, you have to do more filial piety for me, listen to my mother's words. Xu An said.
Xu Ping nodded and cried, since childhood, the two brothers have never been separated.
For Sun Xing, hug tightly, no need to ask more, he is completely a person who can be trusted.
The breeze is beautiful, and the white clouds are thousands of miles.
Xu An turned around and set off, only to hear Xu Ping's crying gradually disappearing.
Eat and sleep on the road along the way. In the early morning, I looked back at the sunrise in Jingdezhen, looked up at the towering Yellow Mountain in the middle of the day, and drank the stream water of Taoyuanling in the evening. All the way to the northeast.
I don't know where I've gone on this day, and seeing that the sun is about to set, hurry up and find a place to stay. Looking around, the birds returned to the forest, and there were no traces. Is it that today we will sleep in the wilderness again? I heard an animal howl in the distance, and I couldn't help but shudder. Fortunately, I found that there seemed to be a house not far away, so I let go of the script and rushed there.
I have suffered a lot along the way, my hair is unkempt, my clothes are scratched, and I have tanned a lot, but I seem to feel stronger and stronger. When I got closer, I found that it was originally a Guandi Temple. Looking at the appearance that has been abandoned for a long time, the building sign is already slanting, and the cobwebs are all over the temple. Fortunately, having a place to live is far better than having no place to live.
Put the incense burner on the offering table aside, clean up, lie down on the offering table, so comfortable, eat dry food, some miss the mother's face, go out for two months, I don't know how my mother and my brother have been. Maybe he was too tired to fall asleep.
I don't know if I heard it in a dream, or if there was a real voice. Xu An was suddenly startled, only to hear a voice say nothingly: "There is a temple in front, go inside to avoid it first." So he walked this way.
In the past month, Xu An feels that his hearing and smell have become much stronger, and he doesn't know why.
No matter who it was, he dodged first, and then hid behind the statue of Guan Gong.
At this time, it was early in the morning, the sun was about to rise, and all around was the soft murmur of insects, and the sound of human footsteps, getting closer and closer.
Two people came in, and as soon as they entered the door, both of them almost fell to the ground. Finally, he didn't fall down, and when he got into the house, he couldn't walk anymore, so he lay down on the ground.
I heard a little girl's voice say, "Uncle Yang, are you okay?"
A voice said weakly, "I want to ...... I'm dying, Xiao Jiu, what about you?"
The girl cried: "I'm just hurt, it's okay." ”
The uncle said bitterly, "What are you going to do when I'm gone?"
"Rest assured, she will be with you too, and you won't be too alone. Suddenly, a young man with a sword appeared at the door.
The uncle sighed, "I didn't think I would be reduced to today, it's just that." ”
The young man raised his head and said, "Dad, you can rest in peace in the spirit of heaven." ”
As he spoke, he stabbed out with his sword.
"Wait a minute. The young man really stopped the sword in his hand.
I saw a sloppy young man walking out of behind the statue of Guan Gong, looking like a beggar.
"Uncle, can't you spare this uncle on the ground? Seeing that he is dying and will not live long?" Xu An said.
"Who are you?Why are you hiding behind the statue of Guan Gong?Why did you stop me from killing him?Are you with him all the way?" The young man asked with a cold look.
Xu An shuddered, he had never seen such cold eyes in his life.
Xu An replied: "I don't know them. Just happened to be passing by this place. ”
The young man said, "You'd better stand farther away, otherwise I'll kill you together." ”
Xu An plucked up his courage and said, "How can you kill innocents indiscriminately?"
The young man said, "Who is innocent? Do you know who he is?"
Xu An shook his head.
The young man said: "He is the famous shadow assassin Yang Ye who stabbed the Seven Heroes with a sword. My father, Ye Sheng, the head of the Seven Heroes of Northern Anhui, a generation of heroes, died under his sword. ”
Xu An looked at the uncle on the ground in surprise.
Uncle nodded bitterly.
The young man said, "Do you think he is innocent now?"
Xu An didn't know what to say, paused, and said, "What about this little sister?"
The young man said angrily: "If she is with him, she will die." ”
As he spoke, he stabbed at the little girl.
Xu An didn't know where the courage came from, so he actually separated his sword with a firewood knife.
The young man said angrily, "Are you trying to save them?"
Xu An was puzzled: "I ......"
When Xu An was still wondering, suddenly the young man fell.
With his last breath, the uncle on the ground stunned the angry young man. Then he went limp, vomiting blood.
looked straight at Xu An, and Xu An was uneasy.
Xu An asked cautiously, "Uncle has something to say?"
He looked at the little girl and said with difficulty, "Yin Yue...... Pie"
Xu An guessed: "Are you asking me to send her to the Printing Moon Sect?"
He struggled to nod his head.
Xu An hesitated to agree, seeing that his uncle was about to die, maybe he was so bad in the past, but when people die, they should always be forgiven.
Xu An seemed to have finally made up his mind and said, "Okay, I promise you." ”
After saying that, the uncle closed his eyes and only heard the little girl's cry.
