Chapter 2: Passing Rain (1)

Shi Yu was moving lightly upstairs to avoid making any sound, but the voice he was familiar with came from downstairs: "Spectacular, the black clouds are crushing the city and the city is about to be destroyed, and the light is opening to the sun! ”

Shi Yu pursed his lips, a little discouraged, he didn't expect to be discovered so soon, he sat on the roof of the building, but he didn't sit on a broken tile, a gust of wind blew from the roof, which made people doubly sober and a little comfortable, he suddenly didn't want to go downstairs.

"Uncle Chen, can't you let me have a good time?" there was a little displeasure in his voice.

"Come down quickly, it's going to thunder, you see it's dark like this, and there will be no more heavy rain on the light rain." ”

Shi Yu looked at the thick thunderclouds in the sky, and a white light that pierced the sky in the distance, for fear that the thunder would split towards him, he turned over and went downstairs, and complained: "Alas, every sneak attack is discovered, it's boring, it's really boring." ”

"You stinky boy, how did you say that, church apprentice, starve master. After only a few years of teaching you, you want to surpass it, so wouldn't my decades of martial arts practice in vain. ”

The middle-aged uncle who was called Uncle Chen by Shi Yu was originally Shi Yu's master, whose real name was Chen Chen.

Shi Yu stretched his waist and said a little lazily: "That's why I chose to sneak attack, try the gap between me and Uncle Chen, but I didn't expect it to be discovered before I could do it." ”

Chen Chen saw that he looked deeply shocked, smiled, and comforted him: "I have already seen you when you returned from the back mountain, with my understanding of you, I thought, Xiaoyu, this kid won't come out from behind to attack me for a while, I didn't expect you stupid boy to really come, haha." ”

"Uncle Chen said this, I'm very happy, it proves that my light skills are not in vain, next time I'll be careful, I won't let you see it" Shi Yu's face instantly turned cloudy, a little proud.

"Then I'll go to Xueyan, Uncle Chen. ”

"Are you leaving so soon, don't you accompany Uncle Chen to see the rain?"

"Hmm...... I still won't bother you, it's going to rain down, I can't watch it, Uncle Chen, you should come down early, it's very windy here. ”

"Xue Yan is practicing in the Sword Pavilion, you go first, I'll come down in a while. ”

"Good. ”

Shi Yu walked downstairs. Boom, first a bolt of lightning lit up the surroundings, followed by a loud bang, and the rain was really coming.

Shi Yu arrived on the first floor and walked towards the Sword Cultivation Pavilion.

There is no door in the Sword Training Pavilion, and the entrance is spacious and bright, and Shi Yu saw Xue Yan dancing the sword at a glance. He walked in quietly, sat down on the sidelines, and watched quietly.

Watching Xue Yan dance the sword is a pleasure, Xue Yan is one year younger than Shi Yu, with a slender and slender figure, a delicate figure, a temperament like an orchid, dressed loosely, and a long hair hangs down obediently on her shoulders. As Xueyan's body rotated and churned, her long hair flew with it.

She held a slender and slender long sword, and the sword body emitted a dazzling white light, as Xue Yan's hand moved or stopped, the white light emitted also followed the room to scurry, like a silver snake out of a hole, making people dazzled. The blade of the sword breaks through the air, making a pleasant echoing sound, interpreting the sharpness of the sword.

At this time, Xue Yan had already noticed the arrival of the rain, but she did not stop, but danced more vigorously, every move and style was perfect, as beautiful as a light dance.

After a while, Xue Yan put away her long sword and ran happily towards Shi Yu, bouncing like a deer that had just learned to run. Shi Yu hurriedly stretched out his hand to greet him, but Xueyan didn't notice his hand, jumped directly on him and gave him a big hug.

Xue Yan smiled at him at close range, Shi Yu also laughed, Xueyan's smile was very infectious, the two beautiful eyes were like a crescent moon, the two small dimples were also particularly charming, and the fair skin was slightly red because of the long-lasting movement of the dancing sword.

Although her crisp laughter could not be heard at this time. But it still makes people feel the indescribable happiness in this smile.

Xue Yan jumped down from Shi Yu, looked at him with a pair of talking eyes, raised her little hand again, and gestured with sign language, interrogating Shi Yu if she was good at dancing the sword just now.

Shi Yu gave her an affirmative expression, patted her head and said, "Much stronger than Brother Shi Yu, Xueyan is getting more and more powerful."

Xue Yan smiled, and smiled even sweeter.

In Shi Yu's eyes, Xue Yan is a child who will never grow up, and needs care and encouragement, although she occasionally feels that she is not very old, but by Xue Yan's side, she will always be an adult who protects her, and she is her only brother.

Shi Yu still remembers the first time he met Xiao Xueyan, although he was young at that time, he remembered that day very clearly, so that some pictures still stayed in his mind.

He probably remembered that that morning, his grandfather, father, and uncle went hunting in the woods together, and soon after, his father hurried back, and without saying much, he quickly gathered a dozen adults in the village, and soon hurried in the direction of his father's return.

Shi Yu was faintly uneasy in his heart, because he was in a hurry, his father didn't tell everyone what happened, and only left one sentence: One or two sentences are not clear, you can wait with peace of mind, nothing will happen.

After speaking, he stepped on the wind and volleyed away, Shi Yu's grandmother, mother, and aunt, waited at home, saying that it was impossible not to worry, things didn't seem so simple, they didn't know why, they were waiting and guessing, whether they encountered any danger, otherwise they wouldn't come back to move the rescuers, they were still safe, and where are they now?

Although Shi Yu was not sensible at that time, he could faintly feel that the potential threat was approaching step by step in the tense atmosphere, and he stayed quietly with some anxiety.

Everyone can only wait for their news. About an hour later, all the people who had gone out returned and brought back a man covered in blood, and all of them were more or less stained with blood.

Shi Yu didn't dare to approach, he swept with his eyes in the distance, and found that his grandfather and uncle were following behind the crowd, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground. In contrast, the two of them were much cleaner, and the grandfather was still holding a little girl in his arms.

The bloodied man was quickly carried into the house for healing, and at this time, the grandfather approached Shiyu and put the little girl down.

Bent down and said to Shi Yu: "Xiaoyu, grandpa has something to do, this sister will be handed over to you for temporary care, you have to take care of your sister, my sister is in a bad mood, you play with her, make him happy, understand?" Shi Yu nodded gently, and grandpa touched Shi Yu's head and said, "That's good." He touched the little girl's head again, and then gradually disappeared from Shi Yu's field of vision.

Shi Yu looked at the new sister, her little face was fleshy, the tears on her face were clearly visible, her eyes were staring at the ground and she didn't speak, Shi Yu approached her, touched her head like a grandfather, and wanted to comfort her.

She still lowered her head silently, and after a while, she raised her head to look at Shi Yu, tears swirling in her eyes, and finally, two lines of hot tears poured down. Shi Yu was stunned and wanted to call grandpa, but there was no grandpa around, and after hesitating for a moment, he mustered up the courage to raise his little hand and wipe the tears on her face.

"Don't cry, don't cry. Shi Yu said softly, the voice seemed to be heard only by himself, and seeing his sister crying so sadly, Shi Yu felt very uncomfortable.

This is the first encounter between Shi Yu and Xue Yan. The person who was injured and carried back was none other than Chen Chen today.

As he grew up, Shi Yu wanted to figure out more and more about the causes and consequences of that day, and finally learned what happened from his grandfather.

That morning, Shi Yu's grandfather, father, and uncle went hunting in the forest. In order to hunt down their prey, they unknowingly get farther and farther away from the village, and for fear of getting lost in the woods, they prepare to return home.

When he was about to set off, he found a person not far away who was a little shaky running in this direction, and there seemed to be a child on his back, so he crouched in place to observe the situation, and when he got closer, he found that his body was close to the limit, his eyes were scattered, and he walked staggeringly, as if he would fall down at any time.

Then they stopped him and prepared to help him, but when he was stopped, he immediately collapsed on the ground, a little confused, and chattered to the point of shouting, "Yes...... There are pursuers, there are pursuers, save us, save us!"

The father and son immediately realized that things were not so simple, so they sent Shi Yu's father to the village as quickly as possible, and summoned the village masters to rescue and intercept the pursuers.

Shi Yu's grandfather and uncle helped the injured people to flee the scene and fled in the direction of the village.

Fortunately, in the end, everyone was safe and sound, and there was enough time to help the pursuers when they arrived, and after a fierce battle, the pursuers were eliminated, and there were no casualties in the village.

Then why were Chen Chen and Xue Yan hunted down, and where did they come from?

It turns out that although this forest that wraps around the small village of drinking springs seems to be boundless, but it is not, the west side of the forest, because the further you go in, the more dangerous it is, there are many strange things living in it, and it is extremely fierce, and people are not their opponents at all, so it is classified as a forbidden area, and no one knows what is going on inside.

The people of Yinquan Village did not come out of nothing, they all came from the east and migrated here, most of them came from the farthest Central Plains, and a few people came from some smaller countries on the eastern edge of the forest.

Among these small countries, there is a place called Amaterasu Province, Chen Chen was originally the commander of the imperial court of Amaterasu, before the establishment of the Tsukisho Kingdom, its territory was originally divided, where the armies of all parties competed with each other for territory, and the era was called the Warring States Period of Tsukisho Kingdom.

But later, the troubled times produced heroes, there was a female hero in the division of the heroes, she was outstanding, established a brave and good fighting army, and treated the people well, supported by the people, she gradually defeated all forces one by one, unified the Quartet.

Then, Liu Mingyue founded the country and called it the emperor, and named the country Yuezhao Country, and she naturally became the first emperor of Yuezhao Kingdom.

When this Liu Mingyue died, she issued an ancestral motto: after her death, her throne will be inherited by her eldest daughter, and future generations will be like this, passing on women to men.

This country has been following this rule until Xue Yan's mother's generation, Xue Yan's two uncles, I don't know who they listened to, so they were dissatisfied with the legacy of the ancestors to pass on the female to the male, and plotted to force Xue Yan's mother to issue the Son of Heaven Zhao Decree to revise the ancestral teachings so that one of them could become the emperor.

They contacted Sun Fuyin, the prime minister at the time, and secretly planned related matters together, and later secretly rebelled in the palace, taking advantage of the trust between the empress's relatives, arrested and imprisoned Xueyan's family, and forced her to sign the Son of Heaven Zhao Order.

But I don't want to, this Sun Fuyin is also a wolf's ambition, he wants to ascend the throne even more, take this opportunity, will be calculated, first borrowed the hands of Xueyan's two uncles and princes, put the empress under house arrest, and after succeeding, he unloaded the mill and killed the donkey, arrested the two rebellious princes, and exposed their attempts to force the empress to give way, and gave Yuezhao the whole country, and all the people staged a good show of "doing the right thing for heaven", and he also framed the two princes to kill the empress, but in fact, the empress had already been transferred by him and imprisoned in the dark dungeon.

There are many smart people in the civil and military affairs, and they all know that things are not so simple, but Sun Fuyin is powerful, and many officials have been bought by him and become his minions.

Sun Fuyin was full of pride, laughed again and again in the court, and shouted loudly: Those who follow me will prosper, and those who oppose me will die. And the hundred officials were silent.

The court was manipulated by him, and the people were also misled by him, and the people of the whole country scolded the two princes who killed their relatives and seized power as beasts, and even shouted that they should be sentenced to death to vent the anger of the world

Since then, Amaterasu has changed his surname to Liu, but to Sun, although Sun Fuyin has not yet sat in the position of emperor, but he already has the real power of the emperor. He began to arrest and kill the royal family in order to prevent future troubles.

Chen Chen, as the commander of the inner court guards, is responsible for protecting the safety of the palace, loyal to the royal family, and the safety of the empress was originally his responsibility as the commander of the inner court guards, but because the two princes are also members of the royal family, Chen Chen also obeys them, under their careful manipulation, the empress was secretly taken down and Chen Chen did not notice it, and then the court underwent a great change, and Sun Fuyin revealed that he regretted that the two princes killed the empress. I wanted to die in my post, but I felt that things were not as simple as they seemed, and then began a secret investigation, discovered Sun Fuyin's shocking conspiracy, and found out where the empress was imprisoned.

They took advantage of the darkness to get up, sneaked in, and then launched a fierce attack, but unfortunately, in the battle, the empress was shot by a rain of arrows in order to protect Xiao Xueyan beside her, Xiao Xueyan saw her mother fall down with tears on her, and she didn't even have time to say goodbye, and then her father also fell in a pool of blood, and she was the only one left in the family of three. The intense grief made her cry all the way, and she couldn't even cry for a while, and finally Chen Chen and the others found that after Xue Yan stopped, her voice couldn't speak, and she had some kind of strange disease.

Chen Chen was also very sad when he saw that the empress was unable to do anything after she fell. He swore to heaven that he would do his best and die to protect Xueyan from escaping.

Breaking through all the way to escape from the country of Yuezhao, in order to escape from the pursuers, he fled to the forest on the border with the only remaining dozens of people.

Sun Fuyin was extremely angry when he heard the news, and in order to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, he secretly sent a small force with strong martial arts to continue the deep pursuit.

And ordered: live to see people, dead to see corpses!

In the end, they were caught up, and fought several fierce battles in the forest, fleeing while fighting, in order to keep the only royal bloodline, Chen Chen's brothers were all killed in the forest, and Chen Chen was also stabbed several times.

Fortunately, the sky had eyes, so they were saved when their lives were hanging by a thread.
