Chapter 61: Memories
Duzun Fort, there are four people sitting in a pavilion, it is Meng Nao, Xu Ziling, Wanwan and Shi Qingxuan.
"Master," Xu Ziling looked at Meng Qian sitting at the table and felt a lot of emotion in his heart, "What happened to you that day?"
"I want to ask too. Wanwan wondered, "Did you die that day?"
Meng Zhen frowned, and after a moment of silence, he said firmly: "Dead! I can be sure, I must be dead." ”
Xu Ziling exclaimed: "That master, why are you?"
Meng Wei already had an idea in his heart, and hesitated: "Maybe it's because of it!" After finishing speaking, he took out the gold-inlaid jade round pendant that had accompanied him for nearly a hundred years from his arms and gently placed it on the stone table.
Shi Qingxuan stretched out her hand, held it in her hand, looked at it carefully, and said slowly: "I don't feel anything special!" and handed it to Wanwan.
Meng Nao said: "You may not know, the origin of this jade pendant is amazing!" Saying that, Meng Nao recalled in his mind the first time he crossed and came to Jin Yong's Xiaoao Jianghu, where he was adopted by Yue Buqun, and once heard his wife Ning Zhong tell his story:
"Senior brother. A young woman wearing a thin cotton jacket of emerald silk satin on her upper body, a light green satin skirt below, a thin grease powder on her face, and a bun of green silk with her hair tied up, was obviously a married young woman, and said to a scholar in a green shirt next to her: "Why are you in such a hurry to go back to the mountain?"
The Confucian next to him was wearing a light robe, shaking a folding fan in his right hand, his expression was very chic, but he still saw a little melancholy in his eyes, and his tone was helpless and mixed with hatred of iron: "Since the battle between the Sword Sect and the Qi Sect, my Huashan faction has been in a slump, and now the Demon Sect is rampant, if I don't do a formation, who can stop it?"
The young woman looked at the few gray hairs that were faintly visible in her temples, and the haggard Confucian in her eyes said softly: "Senior brother, don't be too tired!"
The Confucian student was moved in his heart, since he took on the broken frame of the Huashan faction, he had not spent time with his wife, and his tone couldn't help but soften, and said: "If the junior sister likes it, let's stay in Jiangnan for a few days." How?"
It turned out that these two people were Yue Buqun, the "gentleman's sword" of the Huashan faction, and his wife Ning Zhongze.
"Haha, I didn't expect to see such a beauty today," a lewd and ruffian voice suddenly came from the grass not far away, "Brothers, it seems that we have lost our luck!"
Immediately after, a panicked and hurried female voice sounded, "Don't, don't!"
"Senior brother!" Ning Zhong's eyes froze, and his expression was quite angry, obviously extremely angry.
Yue Buqun hesitated a little, the current appearance of the Huashan faction was like this, if it was a disciple of that big faction in front of him, wouldn't it add a little difficulty to the Huashan faction, and he was about to speak, but found that the young woman actually took a step first.
"Alas!" Yue Buqun sighed secretly and chased after him.
Ning Zhong entered the forest to take a look, but there were four or five people dressed in black and holding big knives, surrounded by two people, a man and a woman, the man fell to the ground and bled nonstop, obviously he had lost his breath, the woman was quite a little posture, her face was terrified, but her clothes were loose, with a big belly, obviously she had been pregnant for a long time, and one of the robbers had already pounced.
"Scum!" Ning Zhong couldn't help but be angry, and he didn't look at it, he drew the sword from his hand, and saw that the sword was completed in one go, and the posture was extremely beautiful, the speed was extremely fast, and the sword was sharp. Before the robbers could react, two of them had already been beheaded. The remaining few people were about to flee in a hurry, and suddenly a Confucian student flashed out of the forest, holding a folding fan, and did not draw his sword, but just turned the folding fan in his hand, looking at several people dazzled, and before he could react, he was knocked unconscious to the ground.
Ning Zhong put away his sword and bent down to help the woman on the ground, but found that her face was sallow, sweating profusely, and her mouth made a painful sound.
"Senior sister, what's wrong?" Yue Buqun asked urgently when he saw this.
Ning Zhong also saw such a situation for the first time, and said, "Senior brother, I'm afraid that she is about to give birth!"
"Ah!?" Yue Buqun was also surprised, where to find a midwife in this wilderness?
Ning Zhongze's face froze, and he said, "Senior brother, you dodge first!"
Hearing this, Yue Buqun didn't understand why, so he hurriedly withdrew, and by the way, he also took a few people on the ground.
A moment later.
Yue Buqun heard a sudden cry of a baby in the forest, and was about to go to check, when he suddenly saw Ning Zhongze walking out with a simple cloth bag wrapped in a torn green shirt in his hand.
"Senior sister, how is it?"
Ning Zhong's face darkened, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this time, and said, "The child is safe, but that woman is"
Yue Buqun comforted: "It's okay, since that's the case, then we will bring this child to the Huashan Sect to raise it." ”
Ning Zhong finally nodded and said, "Let's go, let's bury that couple by the way!"
Because of this incident, the two stayed in Jiangnan for a few days, and the inn was in the wing.
"Senior brother, why does this child's hand always hold?" Ning Zhongze found out that the baby had cried on the day he came out and was born in the past few days, but he hadn't cried in the past few days, and what was even more surprising was that the baby's left hand was open, but his right hand was tightly held.
Yue Buqun has also taken care of the baby in the past few days, and he has also discovered this strange phenomenon, but every time he wants to open the baby's right hand, the baby will cry and keep staring at himself as an adult, shaking his head slightly and saying, "I don't know!"
"Tuk, Tuk"
The two were taken aback, but Ning Zhong looked puzzled, looked at Yue Buqun and said, "Who is it?"
Yue Buqun was also puzzled in his heart, he got up lightly and opened the door, only to see a man in black standing at the door, his face was covered by a straw hat, and it was difficult to see his face clearly, and said gently: "I don't know who Your Excellency is?"
The man in black seemed to tremble, and said slowly: "It doesn't matter who I am, did you pick up a baby recently?"
Yue Buqun couldn't help but think in his heart, could it be that this man was related to that couple, was he an enemy or a relative?
Seeing that Yue Buqun didn't speak, the man in black knew in his heart and said, "Can I see it?"
"This" Yue Buqun hesitated a few times, and finally said, "Okay!" After finishing speaking, he led the man in black in.
Ning Zhong was coaxing the baby in his arms at this time, when he suddenly saw Yue Buqun leading a man in black in, and asked suspiciously, "Senior brother, what is this?"
Yue Buqun said: "I don't know, but he said he wanted to meet this child." ”
Ning Zhong glanced at the man in black in front of him, and suddenly had an illusion, as if he was also looking at himself, was he wrong?
The man in black didn't speak, silently took the baby in Ning Zhongze's hand, looked down quietly for a moment, stretched out his hand and pulled the baby's right hand, the baby miraculously opened, and there was a round white jade pendant in his hand!
Yue Buqun and Ning Zhong couldn't help but be surprised, how could this be possible? But he personally delivered him from his mother that day, and he had been with his wife for the past few days, and no one had ever touched him, how could there be a round white jade pendant in his hand?
The man in black picked up the jade pendant in his hand and gently rubbed it a few times, put it on the baby's heart, and handed the child to Ning Zhongze, who wanted to speak again and again, and finally said, "Be strict with him!"
"This" Ning Zhong didn't know why, and looked at his husband in confusion, Yue Buqun also didn't understand what he meant, but he shook his head at Ning Zhong.
When I turned around, I saw that the man in black had disappeared, how could this be?
The two of them were stunned on the spot
"Alas!" Meng Wei sighed slightly, "This jade pendant was born with me!" It was held in my right hand until it was taken out by a man in black. ”
"What?" Shi Qingxuan looked incredulous, and said with wide eyes, "How is this possible?"
