Chapter 45: The Old Man of Time
The memories are endless, I feel like I am being held by the time fairy, and the encounters of those years are once again painted in front of me like a picture.
I thought I couldn't remember the past.
Thirteen years ago.
"Who are you?" a little girl in a pink brocade robe looked at the boy in front of her with her head bowed.
The boy was silent, as if not hearing, but clenched the serpentine dagger in his hand.
The little girl saw the dagger in the boy's hand, thought for a moment and said, "My mother told me that everyone needs a dagger of their own, and you must not let anyone see it except yourself." ”
The boy looked at the dagger in his hand as if in deep thought.
"But your dagger is so beautiful, like a little snake!" the girl looked curiously and stretched out her hand, wanting to ** the dagger.
"Ahh
It turned out that the boy wanted to put the dagger away, but inadvertently let the back of the dagger touch the girl's hand. Now, the boy's head was lowered.
"Ah, my mother also said that no matter how painful it is, don't shout out. The girl covered her mouth and smiled as if she had done something wrong, and she turned to leave, but gave up again and returned to the boy.
She thought about it, then looked left and right, and after making sure that there was no one, she came to the boy's eyes, took the hidden dagger from her calf, shook it in front of the boy's eyes, and said with a smile: "Look, this is mine!"
Before the little boy could see it clearly, the little girl put away the dagger, and did not forget to rub the little boy's hand with the hilt of her sword to "take revenge".
"Don't be seen!" the little girl patted the little boy on the shoulder.
"By the way, my name is Le Zhen, oh no, my name is Lan Shangyu. The blue sky is clear, the goodness is like water, and the heart is Jinyu. I know your mother is also a Shui family, right? I heard that she was seriously ill and was sent back for treatment. Don't be afraid, my mother's medical skills are very good, and she can bring the dead back to life......"
Ten years ago.
The mechanism opened, several rows of silver needles shot into the lake, the girl stopped in the water with bated breath, took a sharp long sword in each of her left and right hands, and quickly opened the flying silver needles. The silver needle is slender and does not slow down much underwater, while the longsword slows down a lot underwater. The girl tried to cope, but her water was so bad that she only lasted for a short time, and then she threw down her sword, and no matter how many silver needles were half-shot into her body, she swam out of the water.
Lying on the shore, he pulled out all the silver needles on his body with both hands. He exhaled, got up, turned his head, and saw a big boy, wearing an expressionless human skin mask, standing in front of her, looking at her.
The girl blinked, and was about to walk past the boy when the boy waved his hand and quickly swung a serpentine dagger in front of the girl's eyes.
"It's you!" the girl recognized the little boy from three years ago.
"You're wearing a human skin mask, you're joining the Rainbow Seven Kills, why do you want to be a killer? The training is very hard, and the future missions will be very dangerous. I heard that your mother's body has healed, why do you want to come back?"
The boy looked at her for a long time, and only replied: "I like it." ”
Five years ago.
The older girl changed into a blue shirt and looked up into the distance. Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Cyan, and Purple codenames have been confirmed, and their human skin masks have all been replaced with metal masks. The big boy was dressed in yew, and the wind blew the corners of his clothes, and it seemed that he was also looking at the girl through the golden mask.
The big boy walks up to the girl.
The big girl pursed her lips and smiled quietly, raised her hand, saluted respectfully, and shouted, "Lord Yew." ”
The older boy nodded.
Three years ago.
The big girl, that is, me, knelt in front of a bamboo hut that had been erected in the air.
"Your homework as a killer is over. Although you have trained separately, you have completed your tasks well in the past two years. You set off immediately and return to Yuefu. Three years later, someone will come back to you. The pleasant and solemn voice in the room said.
"I'm going to give you an important task. You practice diligently. Don't go to your sister. The voice said again.
I led the horse and stopped at the mountain pass.
Yew was waiting by the tree, and he handed me a small folding fan and said to me, "Little Lan'er, take care." ”
The nightingale also gave me a few goodbyes on the branches.
There seemed to be fog in my eyes, and I raised my hand to wipe it, but my right hand finally stopped in front of my nose, my index finger and thumb straightened, and the other three fingers slightly flexed.
Yew smiled softly: "What kind of gesture are you, I will think that you are saying goodbye to me." ”
A year ago.
Wo Mengxuan, Leng Yijun was lying on the bamboo chair and pretending to sleep, I opened an envelope, and after reading it, I pulled my face and said, "Why do you say that our Yew Lord hasn't contacted me for the past two years?"
Leng Yijun was woken up by me, smiled, and replied to me: "That's not because your Mrs. Muxiang gave you a marriage contract and married you to the person with the highest status in Cai Qiji." You Yew adults are still scared in the end. ”
I glanced at him and snorted, "You think everyone is just like you?"
Leng Yijun was deflated and stopped answering.
A month ago.
The moon is full, and the wind is light and warm.
I stood in front of the railing on the third floor and saw a man sitting sideways on a stone table, looking at the moon, his hands on his chest, his legs stretched out at will.
The expression on his mask is indifferent, and the gaze behind the mask is deep.
I landed in front of him, smiling, clenching my fists respectfully, and whispering, "Lord Yew." ”
I opened my eyes.
It was the room where I stayed at the contact point of Yancheng Womengxuan before exploring the Cloud Mansion that day and night. At this time, there was more agarwood in the room.
When I want to get up, I have a splitting headache and my heart beats fast.
"Second Miss, are you awake?" a pleasing-looking girl appeared in front of her.
"My name is Xiao Xin, I am responsible for taking care of you these days, and it was Lord Xuan who sent you back. ”
Xiao Xin took out a folded piece of paper, handed it to me, and said, "The letter that Lord Xuan left for you." ”
I opened it and understood what had happened.
The paper reads: Tinker Bell sent me an urgent letter saying that you are nosy and curious. I came overnight, but I didn't have a chance to save the beauty heroically. Your Yew Lord arrived first, rescued you, and handed you over to me. He had a long talk with you Mrs. Muxiang, and he must be very busy in the near future. I can't stay long, fortunately, it's you who are poisoned, and if you change someone else, Hua Tuo can't do anything in the world. Sister, you should cherish yourself.
My physique has an innate advantage, and I can be adjusted by long-term medicine to cultivate the most evil martial arts in the world. Leng Yijun said that it was me who was poisoned, because the various toxic antibodies that already existed in my body saved my life at the most critical moment.
"Second Miss, you've been asleep for two days, but you're fine. However, there will still be some discomfort in the body, such as headache or difficulty breathing, and it will be fine in two days. Xiao Xin wet the hand towel and helped me wipe the fine sweat from my forehead.
I hummed, in response.
Xiao Xin went out and instructed the kitchen to heat up the cooked tonic soup again.
I adjusted my breathing, evoked the secret of the snow wolf, carefully reviewed the internal force, and realized that the body was not damaged this time, and it would take more than half a month to recover.
picked up the letter Leng Yijun gave me again, and my heart warmed: In fact, Leng Yijun is also very happy to be my brother.
Looking at the four words Yew again, it reminds me of before I fainted, and the purple corners of my clothes swayed gently in the wind. I thought I was hallucinating, but I didn't expect him to come.
In the time of sleep, the memory opened up to me again, and the picture about Yew became clear, it turned out that he was still the same as when he was a child, but I had a vague impression outside the dream.
He had a long conversation with my mother, I don't know what it would be. My father once said, "The law of the jungle in the organization, he came step by step, and I could see that it was all for you", so this time it had anything to do with me? I sighed and hoped he was safe.
I raised in Womengxuan for two days, and I was worried about my identity in Yunfu, so I didn't dare to stay longer. So I packed my luggage, walked out of the inner courtyard, and walked into the teahouse along the street.
The shopkeeper of Anyang said to me enthusiastically: "Second Miss, the weather is starting to get hot outside, remember to protect yourself from the sun." ”
"Got it, thank you Anyang shopkeeper. I replied.
When I walked out of the teahouse, I really felt the scorching heat of the sun, and I applied some rouge gouache to my face, otherwise I would look even more pale when I was exposed to such sunlight.
As soon as I walked to the market, I was greeted by a man of good looks, medium height, lean, and bright eyes. Lin Wei, the secret guard commander of the Prince's Mansion.
I can be guilty in my heart: not long ago, his sister Lin Li was hit by the Bone Erosion Seven Star Dart, and died in front of me in an instant, and turned into air. The Prince's Mansion has sent additional personnel to track down Lin Li's whereabouts, and Leng Yijun warned me to stay away from them.
"Water Boy. "When Lin Wei saw me, his expression was not abnormal.
"Lin Gongzi, I didn't expect to meet again. I saluted back.
"Shui Gongzi is going out of the house?" Lin Wei noticed the luggage on my shoulder and asked.
I nodded: "I went to Lizhou Mansion." ”
Lin Wei's pupils shrank, and he looked at me a few more times, as if he wanted to see through me.
He lowered his head and suddenly said: "The skills of the water boy have made me unforgettable for a long time, why don't you choose a day, let's learn again?"
I looked at him, my eyes narrowed, and then I laughed: "Lin Gongzi still remembers my recklessness that day? ”
"After that day, I went home and reflected. Thanks to Mr. Lin, I will be much more rigorous in my actions in the future. When I said these words, I also recalled the experience of this month a little, and I was bold and rigorous, but I really didn't.
When I spoke, Lin Wei kept staring at me, he didn't appreciate my performance too much, and continued to say to me: "Does Shui Gongzi want to make me a friend? ”
I turned my head sideways, seemed to think seriously, turned back to him and said, "If Lin Gongzi wasn't joking with me, I would also like to learn Lin Gongzi's leg technique again." People in the rivers and lakes, learning martial arts is a rare fate. ”
"Rare fate," Lin Wei said expressionlessly after repeating my description, "Shui Gongzi's eloquence is good, I found out." ”
"Since the water boy is refreshing, I won't hide it," Lin Wei raised his head and locked his eyes on me, he said, "I am on an errand in the Prince's Mansion, and there is a martial arts training ground in the Prince's Mansion with many weapons. Why don't you and I fight there in two days?"
Lin Wei's words, I was shocked, he confessed so frankly, so invited, he wanted to completely understand my details, and let the guards of the prince's mansion remember my martial arts and figure. He is not a loser in the position of the secret guard commander of the Prince's Mansion, and he is not an ordinary person. Lin Li is really far behind him.
Although I am not a scholar of change, my adaptability is second only to that of a scholar of change. I looked at him in surprise, opened my mouth twice, and finally spoke: "Lin Gongzi is from the Prince's Mansion? ”
Lin Wei raised his hand and waved, saying, "It's okay, the water boy doesn't need to mind." If the water boy happens to be a member of the water clan, it will be even more harmless. ”
He had something to say, I smiled slightly, and raised my hand to salute: "If that's the case, then two days later, at three o'clock, I'll see you at the prince's mansion." ”
Lin Wei also raised his hand and saluted back: "Okay." See you then. ”
