Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Past

Five days later, heavy snow came again, and it rained overnight.

The snow is fading in the morning, and in a tavern in the town, there are five drinkers in green robes and swords.

After entering the house, the five people took off the hat and leaned on the table, shook the green robe on their backs, dusted off a fine piece of ice ballast, and one of them called: "Xiao Er, take your best wine here, first ten catties, and then weigh a few side dishes, the wine should be warm and fast." ”

The shopkeeper brought five wine jars, all of which were warmed in advance, and each jar contained two catties of liquor.

Among the five horsemen, the oldest gray-bearded old man shouted out to the shopkeeper, and asked with a smile: "Little brother, I want you to inquire about someone." ”

The guy didn't dare to wait for this group of swordsmen, and hurriedly said, "Master Ke, please speak." ”

The old man said, "Is the little brother from this town?"

"Back to the guest master, the villain grew up in Redfish Town since he was a child, and he is a native of this town. ”

The old man smiled and said, "This is the best, does that little brother know that there is a family surnamed Jing in the town, do you know where they live?"

The shopkeeper scratched his head and frowned, thought hard for a while, shook his head, and said, "This ....... The villain has never heard of it. ”

Sitting opposite a middle-aged swordsman, he muttered: "I must have changed my name, so I can't inquire." ”

The shopkeeper smiled: "Are a few guests here to look for relatives?"

The middle-aged swordsman smirked at the corner of his mouth, snorted, and said, "Wrong, it's revenge." ”

The shopkeeper was so frightened that he took a few steps back, swallowed his saliva and said, "A few guests, please use it slowly, the small ones are still busy, so they will retire first." ”

The middle-aged swordsman looked at the gray-bearded old man sitting opposite him and said, "Big brother, this town is not big, wait for our brothers to look for it separately, I don't believe that we can't find him." ”

The old man drank a bowl of wine and said with a smile: "Why bother, if we don't go looking for him, he will find it himself." ”

As he spoke, he slammed the wine bowl in his hand on the table, lifted the wine jar and poured wine into the bowl. The wine trickled down from a high place, splashing a layer of hops. Several long swords leaning on the edge of the table suddenly clanged in their sheaths, as if they were about to unsheath and fly out.

The door of the store creaked open and closed, and the snow outside the door floated up and flowed back to the sky.

The old man poured the wine bowl full, the wine jar was put aside, his body suddenly did not move, and a dazzling and brilliant white figure was separated from the body, his face was no different from the old man's, every beard, every hair was delicate.

The bright figure walked out of the store step by step, with sharp hair and full momentum, like a long iron that had not been shown for 10,000 years.

In a family on the edge of Hongyu Town, the uncle sandwiched a piece of smoked chicken in Jing Ruyi's bowl, and said warmly: "Ruyi, you still have to eat the rice, otherwise you will be hungry, and when Wan'er comes back, she should feel distressed when she sees you like this." ”

Jing Ruyi said gloomily: "Uncle, Sister Wan'er will not come back." ”

"Oh?

Jing Ruyi nodded, and then shook her head: "It was Sister Wan'er who said in the letter, she said that she wanted me to marry the second lady of Longxing Tea House, and I was not allowed to wait for her any longer." ”

Uncle laughed and said: "Silly boy, you don't know that girl, you don't know, and I'm testing you again." When she comes back from a distraction and sees you half-dead, she will blame Uncle for not taking good care of you. ”

Jing Ruyi's eyes suddenly lit up: "Really, Sister Wan'er will come back again?"

"Of course, she has no relatives and no reason outside, so where can she go if she doesn't come back? ”

As the two were talking, a shocking sword intent suddenly rushed into the distance, magnificent and breathtaking.

Both of them sensed it in an instant, and they all frowned.

Uncle said in a deep voice: "This sword intent is our Jing family's rainbow style. ”

Jing Ruyi said: "After so many years, my aunt still refuses to let me go?"

Uncle said: "The woman in the long room is narrow-minded and extremely vicious. Back then, the design forced your mother to death, and the sword bone in your body was removed. If I hadn't intervened, I'm afraid you would have had to go to Yellow Springs with your mother when you were eight months old. It's just that I didn't expect that we have avoided her so far, why does that woman just refuse to let go!"

The uncle looked fixedly at a certain place, his eyes were far away, and he recalled the events of fifteen years ago.

There is a sword city in Jianzhou, which is a place of pilgrimage for swordsmen from all over the world, and there are real kendo masters there.

There are only a few families that can gain a foothold in Jianhao City, such as the Gai family, the Jing family, and the Nie family......

The Jing family has been passed down to this generation, and there are three brothers in the lineage.

The ancestors have clouds, and they do not stand young. The head of this clan should have been passed on to the eldest son, and he was the uncle of Jing Ruyi in front of him. But he was indifferent by nature, his qualifications in the way of the kendo were mediocre, he was good at traveling in the mountains and rivers, and he was unwilling to take up secular affairs, so on the eve of the succession ceremony, he drifted away alone and traveled the world. The position of the head of the family naturally fell and eventually passed to the second son.

The eldest son of the Jing family is a master with affectionate roots, and he traveled to Yuzhou that year and was fortunate to meet a girl who was in her prime.

The girl has a sweet appearance and a gentle temperament, which makes people fall in love at first sight. She also liked the indifference and ease of this eldest prince Jing, and the two fell in love at first sight and made an oath that they would never be separated in this life.

This girl is Jing Ruyi's mother.

It was an excellent thing, but the bad thing was his uninhibited and uninhibited son. People who live in the mountains and rivers, poetry and wine fairy, how can they be entangled in the trivialities of firewood, rice, oil and salt?

Later, when the girl became pregnant, the eldest prince of Jing brought her back to Jianhao City to give birth, but for some reason, he did not mention his relationship with the girl, only said that he was a friend he met during the journey.

He has been gone for a few years, and the second brother at this time has already taken over the position of the head of the family, and his kendo is becoming more and more sophisticated and high-spirited. It's a pity that they have been married for many years, but they have not been able to give birth to an heir, which is a pity.

The eldest prince of Jing is witty and very good at complimenting, and he can please women. When eating, I often talk about the experience of traveling outside these years, and the words are very appetizing.

At that time, the second brother, while concentrating on the study of kendo, had to be busy with the affairs of the clan, and in terms of accompanying his wife, he was not very free. The younger siblings were very bored, so they pestered him to tell him some things they had seen and heard on the road, and after coming and going, they had some hazy feelings between each other.

Neither of them could bear to say anything, but they never crossed the distance, and they kept a little routine, but when they looked at each other, there was a deep affection in their eyes.

One day, the two chatted with great interest, so they both drank some wine. The wine is called 'staying for three days', and it is very intoxicating. When I woke up the next morning, I found that the two had slept in the same bed last night. These two people, one is strong in blood and the other is at a young age, what should have happened, I'm afraid it has already happened.

The eldest prince of Jing regretted that he had no land, as an elder brother, he actually fornicated with his brother's wife, it was a beastly act, and he wanted to draw a sword and kill himself, if it wasn't for his younger brother and sister to stop him, I am afraid that he would have died and apologized.

In the next few days, both deliberately avoided each other and did not see each other again.

On the evening of the first day, the second brother brought two jars of good wine to him, indicating his intention, saying that he had been married for many years and had never given birth to an heir, so he intended to marry another second house.

Originally, there was no need to discuss this matter with the eldest brother, but the person he wanted to accept was the girl who came to the Jing family with the eldest brother this time.

He didn't know the relationship between his eldest brother and the woman, let alone that the woman was pregnant now.

When the eldest prince of Jing hesitated for a long time, Xu had a guilty conscience and actually agreed. He went to find the girl, and the guilty person always finds an excuse, and the most stupid person in the world is the woman who is emotional.

The second son took a concubine for more than a month, and the Jing family suddenly heard the good news, saying that the second room that had just been admitted was happy.

The eldest prince of Jing was pouring wine with a sad heart, and the brother and sister of the long house who had been close to him all night came to him and said, "Recently, I often feel backache, I can't smell fishy, and I have to vomit for a while when I wake up in the morning, and I guess I am happy." ”

The two children were born one after the other, with a difference of only three months. The long room was named Jing Tianyi, and the second room was named Jing Ruyi.

After giving birth, the temperament of the woman in the long house changed greatly, and she often became jealous. If she heard that the head of the house had gone to the second room, or just hugged the child in the second room, she would be so murderous that she couldn't sleep at night.

When Jing Ruyi was eight months old, he was found to have a puff root, which really made the head of the family overjoyed, and the number of times he went to the second room every day became more and more frequent.

The so-called puff root is a bone in the human body, also known as a sword bone. All kendo masters borrow the majestic sword intent to temper and nourish the bones in their bodies day and night, in the hope that every bone can be used as a sword in the future. And that Pifugen is a sword bone that has been polished by nature, and it should be the best talent in the way of the sword.

The woman in the long room thought that she would not give him the climate, first designed to kill the second room, and then pretended to take Jing Ruyi over to take care of it, and fed her with her own female water. However, during this period, he viciously plucked the sword bone under his ribs.

At that time, Jing Ruyi was only eight months old, and a section of bloody ribs was cut open in the lower abdomen. The boy had been crying for a whole month, and he was almost killed. The woman in the long room used elixir to apply an elixir to his wounds, and within three days, she taught the wound in her lower abdomen to heal, but how could the pain of broken bones be cured?

The head of the family retreated for more than a month, and when he returned, he went to hug the child, and the sword bone under his ribs was already imperceptible.

He thought that it was acquired and degraded by itself, but when this child's fortune was shallow, it was not enough to promote kendo, so he was disappointed.

Jing Ruyi has grown to the age of full and can run very steadily.

One day, the maids in charge of the care and care showed him a short dagger resting on the table. He was at the age of curiosity, so he played with it.

Master Jing was about to come to take a look at the child, after all, he lost his mother at the age of eight months, and he was the biological father of the child, so he took care of it more on weekdays.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he suddenly noticed that there was sword intent in the room, and he hurriedly rushed in, only to see the child holding a short blade, trembling all over, the ground was full of blood, and seven or eight maids were all exhausted and fell in a pool of blood.
