Chapter 13: Love-Hate Section 2 Disregard
Yan Fei waited for Fan Yu to fall asleep and quietly walked out, he was hungry in his belly, and wanted to come to the kitchen to find something to eat, when he entered the kitchen, the table was clean, there were no hot noodles on the table, he was slightly stunned, if it was usual, there would always be a bowl of noodles on the table that had just come out there, and Mrs. would always tell Xing'er to make a bowl of noodles for him when he was about to come back. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info just that all the people in the Fan Mansion today have lost their usual calmness.
He had to turn around and go out, and when he went out, he noticed that Xiao Ni had come to the door at some point, and when they looked at each other, he saw a trace of resentment in Xiao Ni's eyes.
"What?" Yan Fei frowned.
"Why don't you do anything?" said Nirvana hatefully.
"What to do?" Yan Fei asked coldly.
"You promised Madame to keep their whole family safe, then Fan Jun is about to leave home on an expedition, why don't you want to stop it?" Xiao Ni was extremely angry, Yan Fei made a heavy oath in the Fan family that day to keep the Fan family safe, but she heard it with her own ears, but now this Yan Fei is like no one else, and he doesn't do anything.
"How do I stop it?" Yan Fei asked her.
"You ......," Xiao Ni choked for a moment.
"Do you want me to go to the emperor and ask him to change his words?" Yan Fei snorted coldly, "I'm afraid that when the emperor doesn't know who I am, I have already died in front of him." ”
"Then why don't you do anything?"
"What you can't change, no amount of what you can do is beneficial. ”
"......" The light of resentment in Xiao Ni's eyes gradually faded, now in this situation, she is also at fault in it, if she doesn't go out with Yu'er, Fan Jun will not go to Master Fan, and this series of things will not happen.
"You and I can do our part, and we can keep my master's family safe. Yan Fei looked at the empty dinner table and sighed secretly, the gentle and graceful Mrs. Fan was afraid that she was the saddest one at this time, and her illness had long been expected by Yan Fei.
"I'm afraid you didn't do your part. Xiao Ni said coldly.
Yan Fei frowned, he didn't want to argue with her about these things, what was the use of saying these things at this time? No matter what he did, he couldn't change the fact that Fan Jun was going to join the army.
"Xiao Ni, I don't want to argue with you about this matter today, I still say the same thing, everyone is in peace, and there will be no disaster today. Yan Fei said solemnly.
“...... Do you mean that I didn't keep to myself?" a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of Xiao Ni's mouth.
"Isn't it? ”
"But it was Yu'er who proposed to go to the palace, and he pulled me out of the door. Xiao Ni refused to back down a single step.
"He's just a child, you're so much older than him, why don't you stop him and let that kid break into the palace gate?" Yan Fei asked her sharply.
Xiao Nie was speechless for a while, yes, why didn't she stop Fan Yu before he went out? Even if he told Madame earlier and asked Madame to stop him, then Fan Yu would not meet Madame Hui, and Fan Jun would not be forced to join the army because of his resistance to marriage.
"You are a villain who has no faith in your word, but now you are here to talk about me, Yan Daxia, are you also worthy of being called a hero?" Although Xiao Ni said this, his confidence was obviously insufficient.
"Why did you stay in the Fan Mansion?" Yan Fei slowly stepped forward, his eyes fixed on Xiao Ni, "Why do you threaten to die, you have to stay in the Fan Mansion?"
"I don't want to leave...... Xiao Ni took a step back, but Yan Fei didn't relentlessly take another step forward.
"Why don't you want to leave, what are your intentions in the Fan family?" Yan Fei's voice was not loud, but Xiao Nie was terrified when she heard it, she couldn't imagine that in the Fan Mansion, the first person to see through her identity was actually Yan Fei.
Her sleeves rose slightly, and Yan Fei had already taken the lead in pulling out the sword behind her: "It's better not to move!"
Xiao Ni had no choice but to hang her hands and look at Yan Fei with cold eyes: "What do you want to do with me?"
They all stared at each other intently, not noticing at all that when Yan Fei drew his sword, a cyan figure quickly swept across the roof and disappeared into the darkness.
"I don't want to do anything to you, when I get the evidence of your evil, I will naturally dispose of you!" Yan Fei's sword slashed at the flowers beside Xiao Ni with a whistling sound, and the chrysanthemums in the flowers fell down one after another.
"Yan Daxia, you were already a dead man twenty years ago, how are you going to come up with evidence now?" Xiao Ni sneered.
Yan Fei was stunned, he didn't expect Xiao Ni to open his mouth and tell his past, for twenty years, few people know his past experience, and now the young girl in front of him told his experience so easily, which is really worrying.
"If you dare to be unfavorable to the people of the Fan family, I, Yan Fei, will kill you first. Yan Feijian raised his eyebrows, and he didn't let it go in his words.
“...... Okay, I'll wait for you to get my evidence, but I'm afraid that when the time comes, it will be you who will die!" Xiao Ni replied coldly.
She slowly retreated, and suddenly jumped back, escaping from Yan Fei's sight, she jumped into it, Yan Fei was shocked, this figure was so familiar, he seemed to have seen it somewhere.
He stood there and thought for a long time before leaving. After a while after he left, the dark place on the roof, the figure that was lurking on it slowly poked its head out, the figure lurking in the shadows, and a few ups and downs came to the back house......
In the early morning of the next day, a fast horse rushed out of the city and headed northwest, the man on the horse was a man with gray hair and a thin body, and it was the mysterious old man who appeared in Qiaozhou twenty years ago.
After several days and nights of traveling, he came to a small town deep in the green mountains, where the green smoke was thick and the sound of striking iron was endless. He came to a cast-iron furnace in the depths of the town and dismounted, and when the blacksmith in front of the furnace saw him, he hurriedly stopped what he was doing and came out: "You are here?"
"Are you ready?" asked the old man in a low voice.
"It's all ready, please come in and check it out. The blacksmith invited the old man into the house, there were several sacks in the corner of the house, and several kinds of ores were placed in the sacks, the old man picked up the ores one by one and examined them carefully, and nodded slightly after inspection: "Very good, if the construction starts today, when will it be completed?"
"Two months at most, and a month and a half at least. The blacksmith thought for a moment before answering him.
"Can't it be done ahead of schedule?" the old man frowned.
"I've never tried it, and it's the first time I've built it in my life, and if I don't build it on time, I'm afraid I'm ...... I am afraid that the casting will fail, and there will be no time to remedy. The blacksmith replied to him with some embarrassment.
“...... Okay, just do as you say. The old man took off the hat from his head, and began to work with the blacksmith.
The two of them worked day and night to smelt ore and began the difficult casting work, and when the molten iron was poured into the sword mold, both of them were extremely excited. The old man looked at the scorching molten iron, pulled out the dagger he was carrying, rolled up his sleeve, and slit his wrist open, letting the blood drip into the blood.
The blood dripped into the scorching molten iron, and the splashing heat carried the burnt smell of blood...... After the molten iron cooled slightly, the two poured out the molten iron in the mold and began to beat it non-stop, after beating again and again, quenching again and again, the old man's arm had several blood mouths, and each time it was added was the blood on his body, and the blacksmith on the side watched him do this, it was already heartbroken, for this peerless sword, he could be said to have fought for his life.
Under the dim starry sky, the hammering in the sword-forging furnace stopped beating that night, and there was no sound of quenching, and the two of them looked at the sword immersed in the icy pool, and neither of them spoke. In the mountain stream outside the sword-casting furnace, the sound of the stream flowing gently came to the ears of the two of them so clearly, and the roar of the waterfall hanging down from the edge of the cliff in the distance became louder and louder at this time, and the torrential rain for several days made the water flow in the mountain stream rise more and more, and the blacksmith looked at this unearthly sword at this time, and a kind of timidity was born in his heart at this time, and the person who could use this sword should be a master of outstanding martial arts.
After a long time, the blacksmith couldn't help but ask, "This time...... Is that okay?"
The old man groaned for a long time, and then slowly approached the front, took the sword out of the water, he took the sword in his hand, paused slightly, and took a sword flower in his hand, the sword made a crisp sound of the sword, he raised his eyebrows, jumped out of the oven, and waved the sword under the starlight, as the sound of the sword whistle became louder and louder, it could be overshadowed by the roaring sound of the mountain stream. In the faint moonlight, the sword body was glowing with a rare blue and cold sword light......
Ling Xiao's illness has only improved for more than a month, she eats very little every day, the boiled soup and meals are delivered to her room by Xing'er, everything is handled by this old servant who has been with her for 20 years, Xiao Ni occasionally helps Xing'er do some chores, she sometimes sneaks a glance at the lady on the bed, the lady rests in bed most of the time, and rarely gets out of bed and walks around. She has been sick in bed, even the day her son left home did not get up to see him, Xiao Ni also avoided everyone that day, she was afraid of this parting scene, knowing that since then, I don't know if we can see each other in the future, but as soon as she thinks of standing in front of him, watching him go farther and farther step by step, her heart will not help but ache.
When Fan Jun left home, he only stood silently outside his mother's door for a while, and did not enter the door to disturb his mother's rest. He carried the package he was carrying, and walked out of the door with heavy steps, Fan Yuncheng took his youngest son's hand, stood outside the door and watched him walk away step by step, Fan Jun didn't dare to look back, he was afraid that he would regret it as soon as he turned around, and refused to go to the barracks again, thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and walked forward step by step.
The boot camp was getting closer and closer, and many young conscripts stood outside the camp gate, waiting for the commander guarding the gate to confirm their identity and enter the barracks. He wondered if he should flee from this place and never come back. It's just that this thought only flashes in my mind, and then it is replaced by deep self-remorse. If he escapes, what will happen to his parents and younger brothers at home? The shame that has been imposed on the Fan family since then will never be washed away.
He Zheng stood at the gate of the barracks, watching the recruits who had joined the army one after another into the barracks gate, when he saw Fan Jun's thin and lonely figure, he suddenly felt a little unbearable in his heart, this child was dragged into the army by himself, how could this small body withstand the training? He nodded and called the instructor over and whispered a few words to him.
He came to the camp gate and called Fan Jun to stop: "Fan Jun, you come with me." ”
Fan Jun was stunned for a moment, followed him to the big tent, He Zheng hesitated, and said, "How are you writing?"
Fan Jun was slightly stunned, lowered his head and replied truthfully: "General He, Fan Jun has only read a few books, and there is nothing special. ”
"Then write a few words and I'll take a look. He Zheng pointed to the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the case with his hand, and ordered him to come forward and write.
Fan Jun hesitated, walked forward slowly, wrote a few words casually, and brought them to He Zheng. He Zheng took the words he wrote and read them for a long time, then rolled the paper into a ball and threw it aside: "Your writing is too ugly, you better go out and find the instructor, first learn to crawl in the muddy water and then speak." ”
“...... Yes, General!" After receiving the order, Fan Jun turned around and left He Zheng.
He didn't know that He Zheng behind him was overjoyed, that Fan Jun wrote a good hand, he had been fighting for many years, and there was a lack of such a subordinate who was a dancer and ink by his side, this God let Fan Jun come to his side, which was exactly what he wanted. It's just that he can't let Fan Jun perceive this, what young people need is experience, and it is not a bad thing to let him suffer more and suffer more sins at this time.
The day Ling Xiao walked out of the door, Fan Jun had been away from home for more than two months, Ling Xiao had lost a lot of weight, her face was a little darker, she was a little more silent than before, and her words were even less. Since Fan Jun left home, the home has been much quieter, and Fan Yu, who has been noisy since he opened his eyes, no longer plays with Yan Fei, and obediently reads and writes in the study after asking his mother to say goodbye every day. And Ling Xiao picked up the needle and thread, and kept sewing clothes day after day, without stopping for a day.
"Little Nirvana......" One day she suddenly spoke, "The weather is good today, I have made the winter clothes for Jun'er, come with me to the barracks, and send him the winter clothes while he is still in the new barracks." ”
"Madame wants me to ...... Together?" asked Xiao Nirvana's voice a little trembling.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to find it, let alone ...... You can give me a hand when I can't walk. Ling Xiao smiled.
"Madame's body...... It's already good, Xiao Nirvana will definitely accompany you. Xiao Nie suddenly wanted to cry, since the illness has been cured, Mrs. has not mentioned her son, today suddenly mentioned, she felt very sad.
The next morning, Ling Xiao packed up her clothes early, Xiao Nie watched Mrs. pack Fan Jun's clothes the same, she saw that Mrs. even had a headscarf, socks, and belt ready, and the belt was embroidered with the pattern of the word Fu, and a piece of jade was inlaid in the middle, which was particularly beautiful.
"Madam, your craftsmanship is so good!" said Xiao Ni heartily.
"If you want to learn, I'll teach you embroidery. Ling Xiao took the belt back from her hand and wrapped it in the baggage, "This is for Jun'er, his old one is too small, it can't be changed if you don't change it." ”
"Madame, let's go quickly. Xiao Ni was a little anxious, she wanted to see Fan Jun earlier, and there was a feeling in her heart that she couldn't speak, which made her uneasy all day long.
"Well, I'd like to get over there soon, too. Ling Xiao smiled slightly, a smile that had not been seen for many days appeared on her face at this time, and in Xiao Ni's eyes, she could see the sadness and helplessness in her heart.
When they arrived at the barracks, they found that not everyone could enter this place, and the soldiers who guarded the door did not listen to them at all, and drove people directly to the side of the road.
Ling Xiao looked at the barracks a little anxiously, she just wanted to give the clothes to her son as soon as possible, and she had to say something to her son, in this situation, I was afraid that it would not be easy to see her son.
At this moment, the door of the barracks was wide open, and a horse rushed out, and it was the general He Zheng who was the head, he glanced at Ling Xiao who was standing on the side of the road, he had already ridden out for a long time, he suddenly pulled the reins, turned around and came to Ling Xiao. Ling Xiao looked at him with some puzzlement, only to see He Zheng looking at Xiao Ni beside her with a blue face, he suddenly pulled out the saber at his waist, and the sword body roared across Ling Xiao's cheeks, slashing straight at Xiao Ni. Ling Xiao was stunned, she didn't expect that the general would draw his sword when he said that he would draw his sword, and he was facing a weak girl.
"Who are you?" He Zheng shouted.
Xiao Ni was frightened, the long sword was only half an inch from the tip of her nose, how could she not panic?
"General He, what does this mean?" Ling Xiao came back to her senses, she pulled Xiao Ni behind her, and stopped talking.
"Let me ask again, who are you?" He Zheng's voice was so cold that they could all feel the cold to their bones.
"I ...... I am....... Little Ne was frightened, she didn't know what she was talking about.
"Do you have a red mole on your face?" He Zheng asked loudly.
