Chapter 33 The March of Spring
After suffering a little at the hands of the old man, of course Thirteen knew that this old man was powerful, and he didn't dare to go against him, so he said in a tone begging for mercy: "Senior, I don't forget your life-saving grace, but the brothers in prison can't help but save them, and the orphans of the third brother can't help but take care of them." ”
The old man snorted coldly, and said angrily: "Just your fists and legs, you dare to learn to be a hero, nine lives are not enough, so don't be embarrassed." ”
Thirteen frowned, and said unconvinced: "Although you are a senior master, what do I want to do, it is my freedom, what if I want to die?"
"No!" Hearing Thirteen's disrespectful words, the old man slammed the table, grabbed a handful of chopsticks and shot at Thirteen, Thirteen tried to dodge, but the speed of the chopsticks hit him in the blink of an eye.
Several big holes on Thirteen's body were sealed, and he couldn't move, he gritted his teeth with hatred, and he couldn't open his mouth to insult this old man who had saved his life, and his face turned into pig liver color with anger.
The old man lay down on the bed and fell asleep, thirteen couldn't move, but his mouth kept shouting, and he kept repeating that he wanted to find the orphan of the third brother.
The old man was so noisy that he lost his temper, and asked, "What third brother, what orphan?"
"The third brother is my sworn brother, and he has taken good care of me since he was a child, because of the command of Liu Jin, the commander of Dongchang, and our commander Shi Wenyi ordered us to hunt him down, and he left a baby after his death. ”
Thirteen said bitterly, this incident made him feel very guilty in his heart, at first he thought it was an order from the imperial court, after all, the third brother escaped from the palace with Concubine Zhuang.
But later, after returning to Beijing to restore his life, he suddenly realized that his brothers were being used and were about to be wiped out.
The old man's puffy face didn't show any change in expression, but his tone was not as stiff as before, and he said a little softly: "Where is that baby, you can take me there." ”
The corners of Thirteen's mouth hooked up a smile, swollen like a pig's head face looked a little funny, he paused and said: "Since the senior agreed, please untie my acupoint, and I'll take you there." ”
The old man waved his robe, rolled up a few chopsticks, and hit Thirteen, who finally regained his freedom, hugged his fist to the old man gratefully, and said, "Without further ado, let's leave now." ”
"What's the hurry, the old man is already tired, so I'll sleep until tomorrow. ”
Thirteen lowered his head in frustration, to be honest, he was more tired than the old man, but in such a big matter, as long as he still had a breath, he would not dare to slack off.
But the old man would not let him go, he could not escape from his palm, and shook his head at the moment, intending to go to bed for a night's rest, but the old man kicked him away, he shook his head, and lay down on the ground.
The old man was probably merciful, threw a quilt beside him, and then began to snore, and Thirteen pulled the quilt, covered himself, and soon fell asleep.
After breakfast the next day, the old man, under the leadership of the thirteenth, walked to the inn near the dock, and the fat shopkeeper showed a flattering smile and kept saying: "It's easy to go all the way, take care of Uncle Zhao." ”
It wasn't until he sent the Bodhisattva away that the fat shopkeeper let out a long breath and sighed in his heart: "This old guy's skills are really unfathomable, but fortunately, I didn't offend him, it's really dangerous." ”
One of Thirteen's faces was still swollen, but the old man's face was gradually becoming swollen because of his profound skills and stronger ability to dissolve toxins. Seeing Thirteen hurriedly walking in front, the old man couldn't help but ask, "Boy, what's your name?"
Thirteen didn't expect this old man to ask like this, and said with some embarrassment: "My name, my name is Mu Agou, and the third brother doesn't sound good, so let them all call me Thirteen." ”
"What!" After the old man heard this, he exclaimed, Thirteen was startled, and carefully asked the senior why he was angry, the old man scolded and said, "Who gave you this name, the old man will make him kneel and beg for mercy when he sees it." ”
"You won't see him anymore, for he's gone. ”
Thirteen said with some sadness, and the master's calm smile appeared again, the old master had not read for a few years, and it was normal that he could not come up with a literary crepe's name, and he had no complaints. But this old man who met in Pingshui seems to be fighting for himself, what does this mean?
"It's good to die, if I have my old temper, I will dig up the corpse and whip it when I die. ”
Thirteen felt a chill in his heart, and asked a little hesitantly: "Before, senior, do you have any deep hatred with my master?"
"Big bullshit, I don't know that reckless man at all, but I have some friendship with your father. ”
Thirteen pairs of eyes widened, looked at the old man attentively, and said in an excited tone: "Senior, you have seen my father, where is he, why did he abandon me?"
"In order to save me and another person, he was framed by Wang Zhi, the great eunuch at the time, and there are no bones left, so I have the responsibility to teach you this skill, which can be regarded as compensation. ”
Listening to the helplessness in the old man's words, Thirteen lowered his head and sighed, and said in frustration: "Why was he also framed by the great eunuch, the fate of our father and son is really similar." ”
"But you're still alive and peaceful, and you can't die with me. The old man said as he walked, and the dark clouds in Thirteen's heart gradually faded.
The past cannot be traced, he has always been very cheerful, life has been so difficult, let go of those attachments, and live a easier life.
It didn't take long for Thirteen and the old man to come to the outside of the inn near the dock, and Thirteen asked the shopkeeper about the room of Sister Qi and others, and then slowly walked up with the old man.
Sister Qi held the baby Feng Mu and comforted the two children, the boatman sat on the side in a daze, he kept looking out the window, just begging those people to appear quickly, relieve the poison on his body, and he could go home to reunite with his family.
Listening to the knock on the door, Sister Qi asked vigilantly, and Thirteen's voice replied slowly, which made Sister Qi's tense nerves relax, she stepped forward and opened the door, and when she saw Thirteen's appearance, she couldn't help laughing.
After laughing for a long time, looking at the old man next to her, but the others didn't come, she couldn't help but ask, "What about the others?"
"They were all arrested, and Eighteen was killed on the spot in a fierce battle. As soon as the thirteenth words fell, he put his hand on his forehead, very helpless and guilty.
The old man looked at the baby in Sister Qi's arms, and asked loudly: "This is the orphan?" Yes, yes, looking at his face, he will definitely do great things in the future." ”
Thirteen looked at the old man blankly, what can such a baby see in his heart, and he doesn't want to be disguised when he grows up?
"Hahaha, the old man decided to accept this baby as a closed disciple, and there is no hope for teaching you, so it is better to pin your hopes on him. The old man looked at Feng Mu with satisfaction and said to Thirteen.
And Sister Qi, who was holding the baby, was full of doubts, where is this nonsense old man, how can he beat this baby's idea?
The four of them left the inn, and the boatman dragged a crippled leg and walked very slowly. Feng Mu, who was in swaddling clothes, opened his hazy sleepy eyes and glanced at the sky.
It's already March, the scenery is pleasant, and it won't be long before the flowers are blooming.
