Chapter 36: A mixture of joy and sorrow

At the end of another year, nine years have passed since Yufu's mother and son fled from Baihe Mountain. Yuezhong's father and daughter followed Dong Guoxiu silently, and did not dare to stop for a moment.

In the end, Yue Zhong's whereabouts were exposed and were detected by Wu Xin's men. At that time, they had already arrived in Changsha, Dong Guoxiu went to visit Yaogui, and all the matters to trace Zhou Yi's whereabouts fell into the hands of Wu Xin.

Wu Xin heard that Yue Zhong was the most advanced swordsman among Zhou Shiya's many disciples, so he didn't dare to act rashly, so he ordered his subordinates to set up an ambush in a bamboo forest where Yue Zhong often haunted. At that time, Yun'er was weak, and Yue Zhong often got up early to hunt some prey. Unexpectedly, in the early morning of this day, as soon as he walked into the depths of the bamboo forest, he was injured by the crossbow arrows set up by the people of the Six Hanging Peaks. Yue Zhong was caught off guard, and two arrows were hit on his right arm.

Everyone knows that he has a nine-dragon jade flute on his body, and he has been tired of this thing all these years, if he kills Yue Zhong and takes the jade flute, Wu Ye will no longer let them find Zhou Yi's whereabouts. Therefore, they waited for the opportunity to kill, and they were bound to put Yue Zhong to death.

Yue Zhong was physically wounded, but he still had to fight against a group of thugs who had killed the killers, he was invincible in this generation, so what did it matter if he died! But he was not worried about Yun'er's situation after his death, and under his sorrow, he gritted his teeth and risked his life to fight with those people. He originally held a sword in his right hand, but at this time he was wounded in his right arm and was extremely unable to move, so he was at a disadvantage when fighting. But although the tiger is weak, it hurts people at every turn, and the killers know that he is going to fight to the death, and they all hesitate.

Yun'er waited in the col for a long time and did not see her father come back, so she quietly came out to look for him.

When passing by the bamboo forest, he couldn't help but panic when he saw Yue Zhong and the group of people fighting and losing both of them and falling in a pool of blood. At that time, Yue Zhong's breath was weak and unconscious, and Yun'er was so frightened that she cried bitterly.

Although Yun'er is physically weak, this situation has inspired her extraordinary courage. She dragged Yue Zhong to a small stream, washed the wound on his arm with water, and then went to find some herbs to stop the bleeding.

The arrow wound on Yue Zhong's arm was poisonous, and it didn't take long for him to start a poisonous fever. Yun'er was helpless, and she couldn't bear to watch her father die, so she only cried to death.

==***==

Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter from the upper reaches of the stream, and at this time, Yun'er was doubly vigilant, and hurriedly chopped a few banana leaves with her sword to cover Yue Zhong's body, and then quietly hid in the grass not far from the stream.

The laughter was getting closer and closer, and Yun'er looked along the stream, and saw a man fishing in the water with a harpoon, followed by a young woman, and the two laughed and walked downstream along the stream.

Seeing that she was about to walk to Yue Zhong's side, Yun'er couldn't bear it anymore, raised her bloody sword and ran out, facing the man and girl, her hands trembled, but she couldn't say a word.

The man was thin and thin, and although he had a long beard, his handsome posture was difficult to hide. Seeing Yun'er in such a situation, he stopped the girl next to him, slowly put down the harpoon in his hand, and said to Yun'er: "We are villagers here, there are only a few fish just caught in the basket, if the girl needs it, take it." ”

The girl behind her looked at Yun'er and whispered to the man, "Brother, it seems that she doesn't know martial arts, let's run." ”

The man turned around and comforted her, and the two did not react excessively.

Yun'er's convulsions were difficult to calm down, seeing them dressed in poverty, lest they would be savages in the mountains again, and worried about her father, the panic in her heart became more and more intense.

She pointed to the basket of herbs on the girl's back and gradually walked over, "Give me your herbs!"

The man looked her up and down to see that she was not a martial arts person, so he turned around and took the medicine basket from the girl and slowly handed it over.

Yun'er breathed a sigh of relief, and reached out to pick up the medicine basket in his hand. The man took advantage of her unpreparedness, waved the medicine basket in his hand, and smashed it on Yun'er's other hand. With a 'boom', the long sword in Yun'er's hand fell on a piece of bluestone.

The man picked up the sword first, and the girl behind him hurriedly picked up the harpoon, and the two of them went one after the other, surrounding Yun'er in the middle.

Yun'er was disheartened, closed her eyes, smiled bitterly, and said silently: "See you in the next life!"

As she spoke, she was about to slam into the man's sword.

Suddenly, a pebble flew from Yue Zhong's hand and hit the man's wrist directly, listening to his 'oops', the sword in his hand fell into the water again, and Yun'er's force to hit him back was gone, and he was directly knocked into the water.

The girl who was with the man saw Yun'er knock her brother down and was about to stab her with a harpoon. I saw Yue Zhong sit up from under the banana tremblingly, holding a bloody arrow in his hand, and shouted in a low voice: "If you dare to move one of her fingers, this arrow will pierce your throat!"

When the brother and sister saw that there was an extra person next to them, and he was covered in scars and lack of breath, it was obvious that he had experienced a fierce battle, and the sword in Yun'er's hand must have belonged to this person.

The man got up from the water and looked at Yue Zhong and Yun'er with a solemn expression. At that time, Yue Zhong was already middle-aged, and he had been working hard all year round, and his temples had already turned white, but the appearance of people who practiced martial arts was easy to age, but his expression was always the same.

I saw that the man suddenly walked towards Yue Zhong with tears, Yue Zhong's eyes were confused, and he was still holding the arrow tightly in his hand, and the moment he looked at the man, his heart trembled, and two lines of old tears rushed down.

"Third uncle!"

This man is Zhou Yi, and the woman who walked with him is Yan Chong's daughter, Yan Zhongyu.

Zhou Yi is twenty-three years old, and his appearance is becoming more and more similar to Zhou Jue, and Yufu is afraid that he will be recognized, so she makes him a wig. Although outsiders can't see it, he has been learning the piano with Yue Zhong since he was a child, and Yue Zhong recognized the stubborn look between his eyebrows at a glance.

Yue Zhong smiled with tears in his eyes, and his body was about to fall down in a shake. Zhou Yi helped him up, looked at his scars and old face, knelt in front of him on his knees, and the uncle and nephew cried!

"Child, you are still alive!

Zhou Yi cried so much that he couldn't speak, he went from a childish teenager to a man with vicissitudes in his heart today, after more than nine years of life away from home, he was always thinking about his father who died of sin, and he was not separated from the end of the world. Although these were caused by Yue Zhong, but after thinking about it, it was not his fault alone, Bai Heshan was in the calculations of others, even if Yue Zhong had not taken the Nine Dragons Jade Flute back then, Bai Heshan would have been involved in this conspiracy in other ways, and Yue Zhong himself was not a victim of someone else's bureau? Moreover, after all these years of wandering, when he suddenly saw his relatives, the dark clouds in his heart would inevitably disappear.

Therefore, at this time, there was only a warmth in his heart.

Zhou Yi suddenly stopped crying, turned around and looked at the teary-eyed woman behind her, looking at her again at this time, it was nothing more than a sense of vicissitudes from her childhood, but she was naturally beautiful, and she was no longer as hazy as she was when she was a child.

Yun'er covered her mouth and couldn't cry.

Zhou Yi walked up to her with tears in his eyes, his red and swollen eyes had long covered up the image of the old tongue-witting boy, he took off his beard and said to her, "Sister Yun, don't you recognize me?"

Yun'er cried and shouted, "Brother Yi!"

The brother and sister hugged each other and cried.

Zhong Yu on the side also felt the same way, and he couldn't keep it.

==***==

After recognizing each other, Zhou Yi asked Yue Zhong, "Third uncle, who is left in Baihe Mountain now?"

He was very worried in his heart, although he had endured the grief of his father all these years, he still couldn't help but ask again.

"You're most concerned about your father, right?" Yue Zhong smiled reluctantly, "Not long after you left with your mother, the imperial court forgave him from his crimes, and he is still alive, and he is looking for you everywhere with the entire Baihe Mountain......

Zhou Yi knelt in the water, covering his face with his hands, and couldn't help crying, laughing, and looking crazy.

Suddenly, Yue Zhong's eyes turned black and he fell on his back into the water.

Zhou Yi and Yun'er hurriedly helped him up, and Zhou Yi said to Zhong Yu: "Sister Yun and I will send the third uncle home first, and you can take care of this place." ”

Zhong Yu nodded in response, and after they left, he washed the blood stains on the stone with water, and then took the harpoon and Yue Zhong's sword, and went home.

Zhou Yi carried Yue Zhong on his back, walked up along the stream, and crossed a mountain range, and five miles away was a flat land, and the stream happened to flow through the middle of the flat land. Walking across a wooden bridge, Yun'er saw three thatched huts, the bamboo forest behind the house, the fragrance of rice in front of the house, and the bluestone road to the fence courtyard. There was a middle-aged woman sitting in the courtyard, who was sewing and mending clothes, Yun'er recognized her as Yufu at a glance, and before she could speak, she had already left tears.

"Mother, it's the third uncle and sister Yun, save the third uncle!"

Saying that, Zhou Yi carried Yue Zhong into his room, Yufu hadn't come back to her senses, Yun'er had already pounced on her, Yufu just thought it was a dream, took a needle and pricked it in her hand, and a blood spot suddenly appeared.

Yufu burst into tears, held Yun'er's face and looked it up and down, and asked, "Why did you run away alone!"

Saying that, Zhong Yu hurriedly ran back, Zhou Yi shouted a few times in the room, and everyone entered the house together.

Yufu calmed down, checked Yue Zhong's wounds, and learned that the arrow was poisonous, so she asked Yun'er and Zhong Yu to wait outside the door.

Zhou Yi saw that his mother was cleaning Yue Zhong's wounds, so he whispered beside him: "Father is still alive, he has been looking for us all these years!"

Yufu's hand shook, and a tear fell on her blood-covered hand, pausing only slightly, and she didn't look up.

"Mother, when the third uncle's injury is healed, I will take you back to find your father!"

Zhou Yi saw that she didn't speak, so he went around to the other side, and as soon as the words fell, he found that his mother had already stained her eyes with tears.

A woman who has lost her son, fleeing with another son, while hiding from the enemy's pursuit, also has to endure the grief of losing her husband, nine years like a day, the pain she has experienced, I am afraid that no one in the world knows.

Seeing her sorrowful, but suppressing her voice to prevent herself from crying, Zhou Yi's heart was like a knife, recalling the past few years when he grew up, he was suffering mostly because of Mo Li, how could he ever care about his hard-working mother?

"Mother, let me come, you go and see Yun'er. ”

Yufu still didn't speak, handed the blood-stained gauze in her hand to Zhou Yi, hid her face and turned around and went out.
