How many times rose flowers

At the end of the story, Yuzhen and Anian had their own concerns and had a sleepless night.

On the second day, when the jade mat arrived at Fenglin in the back mountain, Qin Feiyu had already been waiting for it for a long time.He is middle-aged, with white beard and hair, standing in the fiery red maple forest, it looks a bit fairy-like.

Yuzhen reluctantly believed that he might really have some skills.

"You really are here." Qin Feiyu smiled, and threw her a qin. The color of the qin was simple and natural, and even Yuzhen, who didn't know the qin, could tell that this qin was by no means ordinary.

Yuzhen knelt on the ground and made three salutes. Qin Feiyu helped her up, and the ceremony of apprenticeship was completed.Qin Feiyu euphemistically called it informal.

"Before learning the piano, I want to see your ability. In half a month, if you can't learn the fourteen styles of Liuyun, this apprenticeship ceremony will not count." Qin Feiyu said, and left with his arms folded.

What kind of master is this? Do you want her to be self-taught?Yuzhen was angry in her heart, but she gritted her teeth and agreed when she thought that her mother needed money to treat her illness, and becoming a disciple of the head could get more food.

Back in the courtyard, Yuzhen was still thinking about how to improve her martial arts skills.Xiao Jixue ran out, saw her worried, and asked, "Sister, what happened?"

"It's okay." Yuzu shook her head.

"Alright then." Xiao Jixue said listlessly.

Not long after, Xiao Jixue picked up another book and asked Yuzhen, "Sister, I don't know this word."

Yuzhen told Xiao Jixue what the word read and what it meant, and suddenly she had an idea: there are many martial arts secret books in the library of Xiuyuanmen, can they help her learn Liuyun Fourteen Styles?

For the past half month, Yuzhen has been soaking in Zangshu Pavilion.After studying hard every day, after half a month, I finally achieved something in my studies.

Liuyun's fourteen moves are famous for their quickness, each move cannot be perfunctory at all.

Seeing her like this, Qin Feiyu nodded in satisfaction.

"Master, can the disciple learn the piano?" Yuzhen asked.

"No rush, no rush. You have to learn inner skills and mental skills to lay the foundation." Qin Feiyu said lightly, and Yuzhen has an extra task every day since then: running around the Xiuyuan Gate with a load.

When I got home that day, Yuzhen was already so tired that she collapsed on the couch.But Xiao Jixue said to her anxiously: "Mother... Mother, something happened to her..."

Yuzhen supported herself to get up, and dragged Xiao Jixue to Rong Nianqing's room next door.Rong Nianqing's complexion was extremely pale, the corners of her lips were chapped, and there were still blood stains, and she was coughing uncontrollably.There were bloodstains all over the veil.

"I'm going to invite the doctor, and Ah Nian is guarding my mother." Yuzhen made a decisive decision and ran out in a hurry.

When I was young, Yuzhen came to the medicine shop.

"Langzhong, my mother is sick, can you..."

"No, no." The other party interrupted her mercilessly, "Are you rich? Do you know how much it costs to hire a doctor?"

Yuzhen touched his pocket, only a few copper coins.In order to see a doctor for my mother these days, I have used up all the money.

She quickly ran towards Xiuyuan Gate again.

"Excuse me." "Excuse me." "Excuse me, thank you."

Squeezed by the crowd of people, she finally ran to the foot of Xiuyuanmen Mountain.The disciples guarding the door did not let her in, so she had to shout outside the door: "Master, can you advance my food salary for half a year?"

After shouting several times, the elders on the mountain were alarmed, and Qin Feiyu and his elders also walked slowly.

"Yuzhen, why do you need so much money?" Qin Feiyu asked.

"Mother is seriously ill, and the family is poor and has no money." Yuzhen said truthfully.

"If you can defeat these disciples who joined the Yuanmen at the same time as you today, I will promise you." Qin Feiyu said.

Yuzhen gritted his teeth again in response.Several strong disciples immediately surrounded her.

A disciple punched him, and she turned around to avoid it, and punched that person on the head with her backhand.It's a pity that her strength is too weak, this punch is neither painful nor itchy.

However, after a long time, there were already many scars on her body. She supported the ground with one hand and spat out a mouthful of blood.

At this time, in the small courtyard, Xiao Jixue watched over her unconscious mother, walking back and forth anxiously.Why isn't sister here?

She suddenly remembered that the person who seemed to be her father, he was so rich, he would definitely be able to save her mother.

"Mother, just wait, I'll go find him to save you."

The five-year-old girl didn't know how long she ran to reach the mansion at the end of Zhuque Street. At this moment, she only knew that that person could save her mother.

"My mother is sick, please help her, okay?"

Standing in front of the resplendent mansion, she shouted with all her strength.

Called over and over again, no one answered.

Finally, some servants with sticks came out and drove her away.

"I won't go, I won't go! Save your mother, save her, okay?" Xiao Jixue roared.

She was too weak, so she was beaten and thrown out of Suzaku Avenue.

She barely supported herself and returned home, and saw her mother was dying in the room.

"Mother, I'm sorry, Ah Nian is useless..." Xiao Jixue said, her voice lowered.

Rong Nianqing woke up vaguely.Seeing Ah Nian come back at this time, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"A Nian, did you go to ask him?" Rong Nianqing asked.

"Only he can save you." Xiao Jixue said.

Rong Nianqing coughed again.The smell of blood filled the air.

"Mother, my sister has gone to invite the doctor. When the doctor comes, your illness will be cured." Xiao Jixue wanted to comfort her mother, but found that she was too clumsy with her tongue.Helplessness continued to spread in my heart.

At the foot of Xiuyuanmen Mountain, the competition is still going on.

A martial art form that he saw in Zangshu Pavilion suddenly appeared in Yuzhen's mind: use softness to overcome rigidity.She gained strength invisibly, and escaped with a move that was caught off guard. Several disciples who were attacking her bumped into one place, and they dared not move again.

"Master, I won." Yuzhen said.

"Yeah." Qin Feiyu threw the silver taels to her, and said, "Go and bandage the wound before..."

Yuzheng has disappeared without a trace.

Faster, faster.

She said so in her heart.

Finally arrived at the pharmacy.

"Langzhong, please..." Before he finished speaking, Yuzhen fainted because of lack of strength, his eyes darkened.

At this moment, in the Xiaobieyuan, Rong Nianqing was speaking her last words to Anian.

"A Nian, remember the kindness in the world, don't have hatred, understand?" Rong Nianqing said.

Xiao Jixue was sobbing that she couldn't speak.She nodded vigorously.

Rong Nianqing closed her eyes and fell silent.

Suddenly it snowed heavily.Xiao Jixue stared at her mother's body in a daze for a long time, and then remembered that when a person dies, he must be buried.

Xiao Jixue carried her mother's body in the heavy snow for three days and three nights, and buried her on a small hillside in the outskirts of the city.

After tonight, she will have no mother.

"My mother won't eat it, Ah Nian will eat it."

"Remember the goodness in the world, don't have hatred, understand?"

"The shopkeeper only gives gruel for three meals a day, you and Anian are still growing up..."

Every word seems to be engraved in my heart, lingering.

With a hoarse voice, Xiao Jixue cried and called her mother's name, but no one would come to dry her tears anymore.

It turns out that all the good things are just the morning dew, once the sun comes out, it will dissipate.

She was hoarse, and when she got home, she had passed out at the gate of the other courtyard.

Three days later.

Yuzhen woke up at Xiuyuan Gate.She fainted in front of the pharmacy, and was discovered by the disciples who came to her, took her back, and healed her injuries.As for the disciple who came to her, Qin Feiyu was naturally worried.

"How long has it been?" Yuzu asked.

"Three days." The disciple next to him replied.

"Thank you." Without looking back, Yuzhen put on a coat and ran out of the mountain.

When she ran home, she saw the shopkeeper of the restaurant in another courtyard for them standing in front of the door, and Xiao Jixue standing beside her.Xiao Jixue has already woken up.As soon as he woke up, he was twisted out by the shopkeeper.

"What are you going to do?" Yuu asked.

"Rong Nianqing is dead, so this other courtyard will naturally take it back." The shopkeeper said.

"This other courtyard, I bought it for them." Qin Feiyu followed at some point, threw a bag of silver taels to the shopkeeper, and said to Yuzhen, "Well, you child, you ran away without saying a word. "

It was obviously a funny thing, but Yuzhen inexplicably felt bitter in his heart and couldn't laugh.Xiao Jixue also lowered her head, not looking at anyone's expression.

After that, Yuzhen and Xiao Jixue continued to live in the other courtyard.It took a long time for the two sisters to accept the fact that their mother was no longer there, and from then on, they depended on each other for life.

At this time, Xiao Jixue had already passed her six-year-old birthday.

……

Pedestrians come and go on the street, bustling and bustling.

Xiao Jixue followed her elder sister on the street, and happened to see Ruier who used to work with her mother in a restaurant.Ruier knelt on the ground, with a small sign standing beside her.

Xiao Jixue remembered her, she once slipped a piece of sweet cake to herself, and she quietly took it from the guest's plate.

"Sister, isn't that Sister Rui'er? Why is she..." Xiao Jixue asked.

Yuzhen has complicated eyes.That's not a small brand, but a contract of sale.There was an accident in the restaurant not long ago, and Rui'er was forced to make ends meet...

Xiao Jixue was much smarter than other children of the same age, she understood immediately, and stopped talking, but went forward and handed Ruier a few copper coins—this was all she had.

The two sisters were silent for a while, then walked away.

Hearing the news about Rui'er again, it means that she was accepted as Mrs. Ru by a wealthy businessman.Rui'er is unwilling, but in order to survive, she has no choice.Xiao Jixue remembered how the neighbors in the neighborhood commented on this matter.

Xiao Jixue felt inexplicably uncomfortable.My mother said before she was alive that there is no distinction between high and low in life.Then why are some people able to manipulate the fate of others, while others can only watch their own fate being manipulated?What's the point?

As smart as she is, she doesn't understand why.

Then one day, she said to Yuzhen, "Sister, I want to practice martial arts."

At that time Yuzhen was practicing the piano, she asked with great interest: "Why does Anian want to practice martial arts?"

"I want to protect myself." I want to protect myself and the people I want to protect.Xiao Jixue said silently in her heart.

Yuzhen didn't refute, just said: "When you grow up, if you still want to practice martial arts, sister will teach you."

Xiao Jixue's life seems to have hope from now on.She wants to grow up faster, and faster.

It seems that the seeds in my heart are quietly sprouting, and they are getting out of the soil, eager to welcome the light.

……

It's another round of spring and autumn.This year, Xiao Jixue was ten years old and Yuzhen was 16 years old.Yuzhen finally let go and was willing to teach her martial arts.

The jade mat for learning the qin is really not very good when it comes to martial arts.Therefore, Xiao Jixue often learns with only a half-knowledge.Yuzhen wanted to ask Qin Feiyu to teach his younger sister, but Qin Feiyu always said, "This child's fate is uncertain. I am an ordinary man, and I can't teach such an apprentice."

At that time, mortals had a destiny to ascend, and people without such a destiny, no matter how hard they tried, could only be a mortal for the rest of their lives.

Even so, what has to be taught has to be taught.Yuzhen taught like this, so Xiao Jixue also learned it. After several months of learning, regardless of the results, Xiao Jixue has always been serious and never slack.

However, one day, Jixue waited at home, but instead of her sister, she met an unexpected visitor—her father whom she had met several times before.

"Master Taishou." Xiao Jixue pretended not to know him, leaned slightly and said.

"A Nian, your mother, how is she?" The man looked anxious, this time he didn't even bother to hide his identity.

"May I ask the prefect, what is the relationship with my mother?" Xiao Jixue was serious.

"A Nian, I am your father, Yuqing." The man said.

Yuqing?Xiao Jixue was stunned.She really didn't seem to know what her father's name was—mother didn't mention it either.

"You keep saying that you are my father, so let me ask you, why did you stand idly by when I begged you to save mother in front of your house that day?" Xiao Jixue questioned.

"I was not in the house at the time, I..." Yuqing suddenly ran out of words, yes, what qualifications did he have to explain.

"Master Taishou, I need to emphasize one point, I don't know you, and I'm not your daughter." Xiao Jixue said.

"I'll come back in a few days." Yu Qing didn't say anything, and stepped out of the threshold.

"No need." Xiao Jixue twitched the corners of her mouth in disgust, and closed the gate of the yard.

On the other side, Yuzhen was walking home, but encountered trouble——

A gigantic spider spun silk and blocked her way.The people on the street had already fled in all directions in fright, and Yuzhen was the only one left. She immediately took out her Yaoqin and played a piece of "Fu Mo Song".

The spider was not affected by the music at all, and rushed towards Yuzhen. Seeing that it was about to stab Yuzhen, Yuzhen raised the corner of his mouth, put away the Yaoqin, and turned to avoid it.

At some point, a dagger appeared in his hand. The dagger gathered spiritual power and pierced straight to the spider's heart.The spider was injured, but he was very good at sneak attacking.Yuzhen was caught off guard and was stabbed in the arm.Blood ran down the arm, but it wasn't a bright color.

Broken, poisoned.Yuzhen thought.Ah Nian is still waiting for her, so a quick decision must be made.

Seeing that she was injured, the spider began to look for the next target.It found a small child hiding in the back of the carriage.Maybe the child didn't have time to hide it well, and was discovered by the spider.

Enduring the pain, Yuzhen reluctantly stood in front of the child and said, "Don't be afraid. My sister will protect you."

The child blinked his eyes and was eager to say something.It turned out that the spider had moved to the side of the jade mat, staring at the child behind her covetously.

"Hide it well." As soon as Yuzhen finished speaking, the child immediately hid it, and this time it hid it well.

Yuzhen clenched the dagger in his hand.

This time the dagger was blocked by the spider. The spider's shell was hard, and the dagger broke in two instantly.

Yuzhen tore off a piece of cloth, briefly bandaged the wound on his arm, and had no choice but to take out Yaoqin again.

She underestimated the enemy.However, she will win.

The melody of Yaoqin suddenly became fast, and the spider waved its limbs indiscriminately, which seemed to be working.But this effect was only for a while, and the spider quickly returned to normal.

Yuzhen felt tricky.It's not like she hasn't dealt with this kind of thing before, but why is it so difficult?

"Hiss—" There was pain in the arm again, and the blood stained the cloth strip tied around the arm.She gritted her teeth and gasped.

The master always said that her piano skills have reached a desperate situation, but she lacks empathy.A great luthier can run the world with a violin, relying on empathy.

She can't.

Thinking that Ah Nian was still waiting for him, he was unwilling and sad, and a series of emotions filled his heart.At this moment, the melody between the strings suddenly turned into an invisible string, attacking the spider, and scars appeared on the spider.

Is that so?Yuzu seemed to understand something.

The war finally ended with Yuzhen exhausted and the spider desperate.Yuzhen leaned on the carriage by the side of the road, wanting to rest for a while, the child who had been hiding appeared out of nowhere, "Sister, you are injured, go to my house, my father is a doctor, I let you He bandaged your wound."

Feeling warm in Yuzhen's heart, she agreed with a smile.
