Chapter 65: Reconciliation
"Chai Shaoxia stays!" Chu Jiying ran to Chai Shaoning, took a slight breath and said: "My father's words were inappropriate just now, Jiying is here to make amends to Shaoxia." ”
"Don't dare!" Chai Shaoning said expressionlessly: "In the next scholar, why is Miss Lao so polite? After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave again.
Chu Jiying hurriedly shouted: "The thief is just leaving temporarily, the dart silver is still in the valley, and the other party will definitely come to pick it up after the fire is extinguished." Shaoxia still returns to the dart team with me and my senior brother first, and everyone will discuss a countermeasure. ”
Chai Shaoning exhaled angrily: "Although Chai Shaoning is not talented, he is also a little self-aware, how can he be bored and do that annoying thing? Let's leave it at that!"
Chu Jiying saw that Chai Shaoning was still angry, so he hurriedly stopped in front of Chai Shaoning, and explained: "That's a misunderstanding, how can you take it seriously if you are angry? Now that I invite you back, how can I make you angry? Jiying is a woman, and she also knows that the overall situation is important, why should the young man hold on to his grudge?"
Chai Shaoning breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and sneered when he heard this: "Just be careful, I just can't get used to seeing other people's faces, and there is no need to look at other people's faces." After speaking, he bypassed Chu Jiying and had to move forward.
"Stop!" Chu Jiying saw that this Chai Shaoning had all the good things to say, but it just didn't work, and he suddenly became annoyed and said: "You don't need to look at other people's faces, but I rushed over and deserved to be angry." My father is at fault, I don't dare to be a daughter to pick on it, I only know that he carries a thousand pounds of heavy burden on his shoulders, and puts the lives of so many people in his heart, how can you tell him not to be vigilant? Now he has lost the dart silver, which is equivalent to cutting off the way of life of our dart game. It's a pity that his old man is so old, but he can't be as free as Chai Shaoxia, he just needs to be angry here, and see his face bigger than the sky. If you think you should go, then you can go, as for the matter of Dart Yin, I don't dare to worry about you Chai Shaoxia, I, Chu Jiying, killed the thief, and I don't want to be the one who looks at your face for this kind of favor. ”
After being scolded, Chai Shaoning turned around and looked at the girl in front of him blankly, unable to move his steps anymore.
Chai Shaoning felt that Chu Jiying's expression at this time was very similar to that brutal Song Yuanlan. Although she used to hate Song Yuanlan's willfulness, Chai Shaoning now misses any memories of her more and more in her heart.
Therefore, Chu Jiying ignored this scolding, Chai Shaoning was not only not annoyed, but a feeling of closeness rose in his heart. Thinking about throwing the third and fourth sisters in the dangerous wilderness, his eyes unconsciously showed apologies.
Chu Jiying only thought that Chai Shaoning felt sorry for her, and she was angry in her heart, and turned her head with a "hum".
Chai Shaoning came to his senses, thought about Chu Jiying's words, and knew that he was indeed stingy, so he hugged his fists and gave a salute, defending himself: "Miss Chu, don't be angry, how can I, Chai Shaoning, be that kind of person? ”
"Nonsense!" Chu Jiying unceremoniously revealed Chai Shaoning's old background.
Chu Jiying's senior brother listened to it on the side, and knew that Chai Shaoning was looking for himself to go down the stairs, and looking at his sister's words and deeds, he guessed that she liked Chai Shaoning, so he came over to reconcile the two and said: "Shaoxia's words are serious, my junior sister has always been speechless, but this time she is really worried about Shaoxia's safety and doesn't want you to take risks alone, so she is not afraid of mountains and high roads, and chased all the way." As he spoke, he quietly tugged on his junior sister's sleeve, but he didn't know that Chu Jiying shook his hand and didn't appreciate it.
Chai Shaoning was bored again, and smiled bitterly in his heart, but he didn't dare to attack at will again, and said with an embarrassed smile: "There is the care of the two Laos, I don't know what to call this benevolent brother?"
"My surname is He, and my name is He Jun. He Jun signed up and smiled: "It's okay for the young man to call me Ah Jun." ”
"It turned out to be Brother Jun, and he made a mistake!" Chai Shaoning saw He Jun's friendly demeanor, put aside his thoughts about Song Yuanlan and Shangguan Rou, calmed down and said, "If Brother Jun doesn't dislike it, call me Brother Chai." ”
"It's not disgusting to call you a brother when you first meet. Chu Jiying scolded himself on the side.
He Jun stuck out his tongue at Chai Shaoning, and then at Chu Jiyingnunu's mouth, making a frightened expression, and the two looked at each other and laughed.
Hearing the laughter, Chu Jiying turned around and said angrily, "Senior brother, what are you doing?"
"Wronged!" He Jun smiled: "Brother Chai is here, you ask him what I have done?"
Chu Jiying glared at Chai Shaoning and said, "He has already become your brother, even if he is willing to testify, it is perjury." ”
Chai Shaoning smiled: "Then I will make a perjury, Brother Jun said that you are kind-hearted and kind, and asked me to apologize to you and admit my mistakes." ”
Chu Jiying heard Chai Shaoning take the opportunity to apologize to himself in this way of compliment, and he was very useful in his heart, and glared at Chai Shaoning again and said, "I obviously heard you snickering there, but you made up this kind of nonsense to deceive me, there is no good thing." With that, he turned around and went back the way he came.
Chai Shaoning was scolded, and he also stuck out his tongue at He Jun and made a grimace, and the two of them followed with a smile, talking and talking along the way, talking and laughing back to the place where the people in the dart game stayed.
The people in Jing Zhendart Bureau also knew Chai Shaoning's identity at this time, and when they saw that he was willing to come back, they were all overjoyed, and they hugged him and talked to him.
Embraced by everyone, Chai Shaoning was embarrassed to get up, and hurriedly hugged his fists and saluted everyone back.
Chu Xionghao sat on a big rock, and he didn't answer when he saw the lively scene in front of him.
Chu Jiying secretly pushed Chai Shaoning and made a pleading look at him. Chai Shaoning hurriedly walked in front of Chu Xionghao, bowed down and said, "The kid knows his mistakes, I hope the seniors will forgive!"
Chu Xionghao had long heard of Chai Shaoning's skills, and with his help, regaining the dart silver would increase hope, but he couldn't save face, so he didn't take the initiative to talk. At this time, seeing Chai Shaoning sincerely admit his mistake, Chu Xionghao hurriedly got up and helped each other and said: "Young man doesn't have to be polite, just come back, if you have a mistake, the old man will feel guilty!"
Chu Jiying and He Jun saw that the old and the young were reconciled, and they were happy in their hearts and surrounded them. The four of them discussed their next steps in this wild place.
After Chai Shaoning sat down on a stone, he asked Chu Xionghao puzzled: "What kind of dart did the predecessor take, why did it attract so many thieves?"
Chu Xionghao glanced at the people who were squatting on the side of the road to rest, and said to Chai Shaoning: "The virtuous nephew doesn't know, this dart is entrusted by Xu Shanren, a big family in Badong. That Xu Shanren was originally a small Taoist priest on Wudang Mountain in his early years, but he couldn't bear the hardships of Qing cultivation and secretly ran down the mountain. This person is born with a business acumen, but he has earned a fortune in ten years. It's just that there is one point, Xu Shanren married six wives and concubines, but none of them could have children. Xu Shanren thought that he had stolen out of Wudang and offended the gods, so he made a heavy oath in front of the statue of the Taoist ancestor of Sanqing, and if he got a son, he would build a large hall in Wudang to reshape the golden body of the Taoist ancestor. Strange to say, soon after making a wish, the fourth lady became pregnant and gave birth to a son. Xu Shanren was overjoyed, put up a feast, and celebrated, but who knew that that that night, Xu Shanren's family suffered a catastrophe. ”
"In ancient times, there were many thieves, presumably there must be thieves who fell in love with the Xu family's silver!" Chai Shaoning interjected and analyzed.
"It's a thief, but it's a family thief!" Chu Xionghao sighed: "At a banquet that night, more than 30 people were poisoned, but only the fourth lady did not attend the banquet because she took care of the children, and escaped the catastrophe. After all, Xu Shanren had practiced martial arts, and he felt that something was wrong, so he immediately struggled to escape from the house, but he was still secretly chased by thieves. Just when the thief was about to commit murder, he was encountered by the two saints of Wudang who were passing by. The second saint captured the thief and lifted the veil, and Xu Shancai found out that the thief turned out to be the housekeeper of the Xu Mansion. This housekeeper and the fourth lady fornicated and gave birth to a child, and in order to stay together, the two of them took risks to kill their master and seize the family property!"
"Since ancient times, adultery has led to death!" Chu Xionghao sighed: "What's more, there are so many thousands of family fortunes to obtain." ”
Seeing the teacher's gloomy expression, He Jun took over the conversation and continued: "The second sage got rid of the thief, and not only did not blame Xu Shanren for leaving Wudang privately, but instead expelled poison for him and told him to recuperate. However, Xu Shanren lost all his family members overnight, so how could he withstand such a blow? Soon he became seriously ill, and repeated treatment was ineffective, and he died after less than half a year. This Xu Shanren usually has some friendship with the family teacher, so before he died, the family teacher sold all his family property into gold and silver and sent it to Wudang to atone for his sins. After this sale, there were 200,000 taels of gold, how could such a fortune make those thieves not look red?"
Chai Shaoning nodded and frowned: "The secret of the bandits here and the ruthlessness of the means used are beyond people's expectations, but since you are people who are used to darts, you should understand the situation-" Speaking of this, Chai Shaoning suddenly stopped talking.
These words seemed to have a hidden suspicion of blaming Chu Xionghao for being careless, but by the time Chai Shaoning realized it, half of the words had already been spoken.
Chu Xionghao didn't mind when he heard this, and said with a wry smile: "Wudang and Shaolin are listed as the two holy places of martial arts, and their disciples are all over the rivers and lakes, and their prestige is rising like the sun is rising. In normal times, thieves would never dare to fight the idea of Wudang Dart Yin. It's just that recently, the two sages of Wudang suddenly sprinkled posts all over the rivers and lakes, abolishing the position of Yunyang Zhenren as the head of the teaching, which caused an uproar in the martial arts. In recent years, Yunyang Zhenren has been wandering around the rivers and lakes, making friends, and his forces are intertwined. This move of the two saints will not only cause chaos within Wudang, but even cause a change of power in a group of martial arts, if it is not for something big, they will never be so decisive, which is also the general Wudang is powerless in the short term. ”
Chu Xionghao said with a wry smile: "We didn't hear about this matter until we were halfway through the trip, and it was too late to take precautions." Besides, I had long intended to fight with Xue Shu, so I wanted to use this dart to lure him out. It's just that I didn't expect that before I met the other party, I had already lost the dart silver. ”
