Chapter Twenty-Four: Willing to Be a Servant
Chu Qingyun looked up to the sky and sighed: "Alas, fortunately, God has eyes, a heavy rain came, and I woke up after being drenched in the rain." I was anxious and angry, but I was still faintly afraid, and I took my sword and came to the old thief's room. But it was already a step too late, and the Han clan had already been ...... by the old thief Alas...... I sneaked into the room while the old thief was in the dark, and stabbed the old thief in the back with a sword, the blade pierced through, and the old thief went to hell without snorting. I saw Han's confused expression, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, only to say that she was an old thief with watery Yang Hua, and when she was angry, she was angry from the heart, and she was born with a sword, and she was killed with a sword. Later, I picked up a small porcelain vase on the ground, and I realized that I had killed Han by mistake. It turned out that the old thief had forced her to take a very powerful drug. Remorse and panic, I fled back to my hometown a hundred miles away overnight. Later, Liu Jinghai, Wang Shijie and Wu Zhong, the three traitors, came to seek revenge, and I hid the rumors when I heard the rumors, but they didn't find me and killed none of my family of five. ”
Mo Zhen's face was full of anger, he just drank and didn't say a word, but the anger in his heart can be imagined.
"I fled all the way south, and they still pursued me, but I tried to get rid of them several times, but I was never able to catch me. After I fled to Dali, I felt that there was no place for me in the world, and my relatives died tragically and killed Han by mistake. I have heard that the sword of the holy hand Mei Daxia is unparalleled, and I admire it very much, thinking that since I am a person who loves the sword with a sword, it is better to have a happy sword competition with Mei Daxia than to die in the hands of these thieves, and I will be blind to die under the sword of the holy hand in the sword. So I inquired all the way and came to Niubei Mountain. When he said this, his mouth was dry, and his mind was turbulent, so he couldn't help but stop to stroke his chest and gasp.
Lin Fengsheng and Mei Ruoxue were both filled with righteous indignation and surging hearts, secretly lamenting that people's hearts are sinister and the world is impermanent, and they had many words of consolation that they wanted to say, but they couldn't help it when they came to their mouths.
Mo Zhen said angrily: "I see, this Shangguan Lao'er really deserves to die, and the three rabbit cubs deserve to die indiscriminately killing innocents." What happened?"
Chu Qingyun took a sip of wine, and said: "I came to Niubei Mountain just to die quickly, so I spoke ill of Mei Daxia and provoked him, he is a generation of heroes, and naturally he is not as knowledgeable as me. I stabbed him with my sword, but he just blindly avoided it and didn't fight back. I described myself as a vulgar and unscrupulous man who was bent on chasing fame and fortune, and I just ignored him no matter how he could. In desperation, he had no choice but to agree to fight with me, and each signed a life and death certificate. He was so good at swordsmanship, he only took a dozen moves to contain me, but instead of killing me, he asked me why I was so heartbroken. I was in high esteem with him, and I had suppressed it for so long and wanted to find someone to spit it out, so I told him about it. After speaking, he wanted to kill himself with a sword, but he grabbed the sword to stop him. Then he built this false tomb for me, and made me a servant of his family, and I tried to repay his great kindness, and I gradually lost my will to die, and I followed him wholeheartedly, and this hiding was eighteen years. ”
"Didn't they get suspicious at the time, why did they do it again more than ten years later?"
Chu Qingyun said: "They chased them to Niubei Mountain at that time, and when they saw this tomb, they only said that I had died under the sword of Mei Daxia, so they left proudly." Because of Mei Daxia's martial arts and prestige, even if they were suspicious in their hearts, they didn't dare to be too presumptuous. In the following years, Wu Zhong came secretly a few more times, presumably to let him see something. But since I have become a servant of the Mei family, they naturally don't dare to act rashly. Now that Brother Mei is gone, of course they are here. ”
Lin Fengsheng asked, "Don't the three of them know the truth of the matter? Why are they still so indistinguishable from right and wrong, and are so hard to hunt you down?"
Chu Qingyun said: "These people have no father and mother since they were children, and the old thief raised them single-handedly, just like their father, there is a way that is the enmity of their parents, and they do not share the sky, and they want to chase and kill for this reason." ”
Mo Zhen waved his sleeves and said: "You are wrong, how can such an inhuman thing be so kind." Besides, after so many years, even such a sense of revenge should fade. They must be hunting you for another reason. ”
Chu Qingyun was very excited when he heard this, and said word by word: "What is the reason, please tell the seniors." ”
Mo Zheng said: "As far as Lao Hua knows, Shangguan Lao'er did not die immediately at that time, so he passed down his will, and whoever killed you among the three of them could inherit the position of the head of the family." That's why they are so hard to force each other, and the Kunlun faction has never been in charge all these years. ”
Chu Qingyun said "I see" twice in a row, and said hatefully: "The more this is the case, the more I want to live well, so that none of them can be the head." They are all unscrupulous, and it would be a big trouble to let this kind of person be the head. ”
Mo Zheng said: "What you said is very true, what are your plans in the future?" Chu Qingyun sighed and said, "I have nowhere to go, so I naturally want to return to Brother Mei's house to be the current person." ”
Mei Ruoxue said with a smile: "How dare my mother and I let Chu Daxia be a person again, so how about asking you to be our family's nursing home? Anyway, your whereabouts have been revealed, and there is no need to hide it anymore." ”
Mo Zhen also said: "This girl is right, you just stay in the Mei family in a big way." Forgive them for a while, and they will not dare to come again. When I returned to the Central Plains, I went to Kunlun Mountain, and told them not to come to entangle you again. Presumably, these muddy balls don't dare to disobey. ”
Lin Fengsheng said: "Exactly, Uncle Chu can live at his aunt's house with peace of mind." They just covet the position of the head of the house, and once there is a successor to the head of the house, they will not come to you again to take revenge. ”
Mo Zheng said: "Yes, this matter is always called Huahua's own arrangement, so you can relax." ”
Chu Qingyun took a deep look at the three of them and said, "The friendship of several people, the surname Chu has thanked me here." I will not refrain from doing anything that the next few people ask me to do. He got the grudge, and his heart was like letting go of a big stone, and he changed his normal state and was refreshed.
Lin Fengsheng and Mei Ruoxue got acquainted with the seniors of the beggar gang, and they were also overjoyed. The four of them, old and young, talked about the moonlight and drank and talked happily until the fourth watch. Mo Ji also rested at Mei's house that night.
In the early morning of the next day, Chu Qingyun chopped wood and carried water as usual, and swept the floor with tea, as if nothing had happened.
Mei Ruoxue hummed a little song and said, "Uncle Chu, you are now a martial artist in the nursing home, so you don't have to do these rough jobs anymore." ”
Chu Qingyun said with a smile: "Miss said it's funny, who dares to come to your Mei family to steal and spread wild? Old Chu, I eat and drink for nothing all day long, how embarrassed, I always have to find something to do." After a pause, he said, "Is there anything wrong with the young lady coming to me?"
Mei Ruoxue grinned and said, "It's nothing, my mother asked me to invite you to go." ”
Chu Qingyun hesitated: "Did you tell Madame about last night, Madame has been kept in the dark for more than ten years, shouldn't you be surprised?"
Mei Ruoxue pulled his arm and said, "No, if you want to blame my father, how can I blame you." Let's go. ”
Chu Qingyun was dragged by her to the flower hall, and Lin Yu and Lin Fengsheng were eating snacks with him. Seeing him coming, Lin Yu got up and said, "Mr. Chu, let's sit down and eat some together." Mo Zhen and Lin Fengsheng also greeted warmly.
Chu Qingyun bowed down and said: "Madame is polite, Madame must have already known about last night's incident, right? ”
Lin Yudao scooped a bowl of lotus seed soup with his own hands and handed it over, and said with a slight smile: "There is a reason for the incident, why is it strange." On the contrary, it is Mr. who has been wronged all these years. ”
When Mei Yunting was alive, there was an endless stream of people who came to him to compete with swords, and Lin Yu had long been accustomed to it, so he never paid attention to these uninvited guests, and he had never seen Chu Qingyun at that time. Then her husband suddenly brought back a servant, and although she was surprised, she was not suspicious.
Chu Qingyun took it with both hands and said some words of accusation, and the matter was over. After everyone used the snacks, Lin Yu summoned his subordinates to hire Chu Qingyun, and several girls and Agen were surprised to learn that Old Man Chu was actually a martial arts senior, and looked at him carefully with a smile, chattering endlessly to ask him to teach martial arts. Lin Yu personally cooked a table of banquets to entertain Mo Zhen and Chu Qingyun, she was a superb cook, and she was full of praise for what she only ate.
After lunch, Mo Zheng sat in the court with Lin Fengsheng and others to chat, and talked about Mei Yunting again in a few words. Mo Zhen said to Mei Ruoxue: "Little girl, I always call Peanut Ping and rarely admire others, your father is one." Do you know what Lao Dao Lao Hua admires most about your father?"
Mei Ruoxue said without thinking: "Swordsmanship! Daddy is known as the 'Holy Hand of the Sword', you must be better than him." ”
Mo Zhen smiled and shook his head, "No." Although his swordsmanship is clever, he always says that Hua never uses a sword, and he admires a little, but he is not the most admired. ”
