Big dream 18 years

Yan Er's face was stiff for a long time, he took off his long sword and threw it on the ground, raised his head and said calmly: "Yes."

"You don't explain?"

"I originally wanted to kill Shang Tongtian, but I didn't expect that when they attacked, it was you and Kaishan who were there. Damn me, you do it."

Li Xiao let out a long sigh: "After Kaishan died, you behaved differently. Others can't see it. I have known you for decades, so I can't see the problem. I checked, and Baidao found your biological parents. Back then, the master betrayed you It was your grandfather who was with Yan Du, your parents traveled far away and didn't know about it, they have been looking for you for many years."

"Correct."

"Bai Dao threatens you with them."

"No." Yan Er's expression was unusually calm, and his usual meek smile was still on the corner of his mouth, "Baidao is different from you, although he found my parents, he didn't take credit for it, everything was done willingly."

Li Xiao didn't speak, and Yan Er continued with a smile: "You are so talented that everyone admires you, so you can see the friendship in Zuizun Castle, and you are reluctant to part with everyone. But for me, Zuishi Castle has nothing but you and Monk Er , Wei Kaishan, Quze, and others are all demons. Back then, Yan Du locked me with the same shackles that you locked Qin Songfeng. A master like him was trapped for three days, and even lost half of his life. I was just a child back then? I still move slowly, and my joints hurt in rainy weather. Whenever I think of this place, and think of Chu Xun's cold eyes and indifference, Yan Du's grim face, Shang Tongtian applauding from the sidelines, and Tu Wanwan's downfall, I already hate it very much. Moreover, Shang Er who helped me back then was killed by Shang Tongtian, but you refused to avenge him."

"I'm sorry," Li Xiao bent down to pick up his sword, "Although Shang Tong Tianxia is cruel, he is still my brother. The dead cannot be brought back to life, and I can't bear to take on a living person."

"Boss, you've been in Zuizunbao for too long, why don't you go to other places?" Yan Er clenched his fists tightly, his chest heaving violently, "The outside is really different from us. After leaving Zuizunbao for a few years, I made some new friends, only to realize that even the other underworld gangs are much better than us. We were also good when the old castle master Han was still alive. If it weren’t for Chu Xun, we wouldn’t be what we are today! It’s bad, it’s just bad luck, unfortunately it’s here. I plot against Shang Tongtian, not only to avenge Shang Er, but also to let you go and take the other brothers away!”

Li Xiao repeated sadly: "I'm sorry. I'm sorry for you, and I'm sorry for Shang Er."

"Compared to Shang Er, I have a deeper friendship with you and Kaishan, but in heaven, I can't let Shang Er die for nothing for you. Haven't you ever thought about it," Yan Er squinted at Li Xiao, "If you It wasn't Chu Xun who discovered you, but which Baidao sect, maybe you are the biggest good person in the Baidao after Jiying, even Xuan Chongzi can't compare to you, Qu Ze could treat you as a brother before being framed... ..."

Li Xiao hung Yan Er's sword back on his belt, his eyes calm: "It's possible, but I've already landed here, so why do you think about those useless ones. It's your chance that you can jump out, I don't want to jump out Going out, I don’t feel unlucky. I know that you and Baidao still have contact after Kaishan’s death, but you haven’t leaked our news. You are my brother, and I can’t be happy for you if you can walk on the right path. You? There will be no time in the future, so you can do it yourself."

Yan Er stared at the long sword at his waist and stood still.

Li Xiao turned around and walked to Ting Yun's side: "You'd better follow Yan Er and surrender to Bai Dao, so that I can feel at ease."

"Don't even think about it. I have lost my conscience and did all kinds of bad things, just to go all the way to darkness with you."

Li Xiao ignored her, and said to Qin Songfeng: "Second Master Qin, this is my woman. She has two small cases and is wanted by the government, but she has never had a direct conflict with Bai Dao. You think that I will not kill you." En speak for her, let's save her together." Li Xiao smiled strangely, then pointed to Ji Shuliu, "This kid also belongs to the Chisu sect. Although I didn't listen to Tai Shifu's words, I followed Tai Shifu's wishes. To teach his old man a new successor for the Chisu sect, it can be regarded as worthy of him."

Qin Songfeng has been leaning on the iron railing, and straightened his waist after hearing the words: "I can keep Brother Yan and Brother Ji. This girl, as long as she is willing, I may not be able to keep her moving freely, but I can keep her life safe.  … ...Don't worry, Brother Ji is teaching well in Chisu Gate, the students love him very much, and Brother Qu's body has begun to recover."

Li Xiao nodded to him: "I can trust Shu Liu's vision."

Ting Yun curled his lips: "I don't want to."

At this moment, the sound of chaotic battles could be faintly heard outside the cave, and a disciple of Zuishi Castle rushed to the entrance of the cave to report: "Xuan Chongzi is coming!"

"Wait, I'm going out now." After Li Xiao finished speaking, he gently hugged Yan Er, "No matter what, you are still my good brother;" He hugged Tingyun intimately, "Good girl; "Finally leaned over and gave Ji Shuliu a hug, "Good apprentice."

Ji Shuliu knew that this might be his last words, so he couldn't help but grabbed Li Xiao's arm with both hands, and he didn't know how to say the words.

Li Xiao helplessly pressed Ji Shuliu's shoulder, stared into his eyes and said: "My grand master has been upright and fair all his life, and he is willing to be kind and friendly. I have taught him all the books he has read, the moves he has used, and his understanding of martial arts. Here it is. My master was arrogant and cruel all his life, and he only had a little bit of humanity to sister Aliu, which is very precious. I have learned how to treat you well. I don’t know how to judge in my whole life, but I What I want to leave to you, I have already left to you."

Ji Shuliu jumped up and hugged him with all his strength: "I'm not good at reading, I'm not good at martial arts, and I don't even have a good temper. I have few friends in the world. How can I take on such a heavy responsibility?"

"Who asked you to take on the heavy responsibility? I want you to live a better life in the future." Li Xiao caressed Ji Shuliu's back, "Be obedient. If you live well, it means that I have done nothing wrong in this life."

Seeing that he was about to break free, Ji Shuliu hugged him even harder regardless of the severe pain in the wound all over his body: "Wait, I have a lot to tell you. When I was teaching, every time I encountered a disobedient student, I recalled that no matter how I You are naughty, if you can be patient and coax me, you will lose your temper immediately. The disciple of Chisumen who was killed by Huashan was my student before, and he fought with me on the first day of school. I was too aggressive, so I taught him a lesson, and he was so angry that he never came to study again. Now that I think about it, I regret it. Also, Ge Xingli, who came with him, is also my student and has been studying with me for two years. If you ask him about the things in the book now, you will definitely hear a lot of what Teacher Wei often said...and..."

"So you killed Huashan?"

"He also wants to kill me, what's wrong with me killing him?"

"Yes, you did the right thing. You are my younger brother, how can you let others bully you? To me, you are definitely the first. Obedient, I'm leaving." Li Xiao broke free from Ji Shuliu's arms and straightened With a waist, he strode out of the cave.

"Big brother!"

"Boss."

"Husband...husband...husband..."

Li Xiao turned his head for the last time, leaving behind a smile, reflected in Ji Shuliu's blurred tearful eyes.

■

Ting Yun followed Li Xiao out of the cave, but stopped at the entrance of the cave, drew his sword and pointed at Yan Er to threaten: "Don't open the lock for now!"

She is not a weak expert. In normal times, Ji Shuliu and Yan Er could easily break through together, but now Ji Shuliu is injured. cost-effective.

Ji Shuliu moved to Qin Songfeng's side, sat with his back facing the iron cage, put his left hand behind his back into the iron railing, pressed on Qin Songfeng's knee, and gently kneaded him.Qin Songfeng silently put his left hand on his shoulder.

Outside the cave, the conversation between Li Xiao and Xuan Chongzi could be vaguely heard, and words like "Ji Ying" and "revenge" came to Ji Shuliu's ears from time to time.

Ting Yun heard it more clearly at the entrance of the cave, and turned around to explain: "Xuan Chongzi has a deep obsession. After 20 years, he still can't forget to avenge Ji Ying. What kind of family and Taoism does such a person come from? People in Baidao are so unreasonable. Although Master Chu was not killed by Ji Ying himself, he died in the encirclement and suppression led by Ji Ying, the boss killed Ji Ying is the real revenge, why should they keep pestering each other."

Yan Er chuckled: "You are unreasonable. Back then, Xuan Chongzi followed Ji Ying all day to ask for advice. Although Ji Ying confiscated his apprentices, the ability to lead gang fights was fully passed on to Xuan Chong. Son. Their relationship is much better than the boss and Chu Xun."

"You idle dog, stop gossiping." Ting Yun snorted coldly, stretched his head to look into the distance, and stopped talking to the people in the cave.

There were constant sounds of weapons and blades outside the cave, but it was a pity that they couldn't tell who it was coming from.I don't know how long it has passed before Tingyun walked in in a daze: "Xuan Chongzi's swordsmanship has improved, but the boss is at the end of his battle. It seems that my death is also approaching."

Ji Shuliu held back the tears that were almost overflowing, and persuaded Tingyun, "Brother wants you to live."

"Do you know why I was wanted by the court?"

"Do not know why?"

"Do you think you can enter Zuizun Castle alone?" Ting Yun raised his lips, "The boss bought a lot of young women back then, and they all learned the martial arts of Zuizun Castle, but those with mediocre qualifications can only marry the disciples of Zuizun Castle. Only those who have good aptitude and have committed crimes can win a place based on their ability. On the first day after I became an artist, I went back to that brothel and killed all the bastards who forced girls into prostitution and trafficked girls."

Ji Shuliu was confused: "What a big deal, shouldn't they die? Even if they are wanted by the court, Bai Dao can tolerate it."

Ting Yun chuckled, stretched out his left palm, bent his thumb, and shook the other four fingers showing off: "But then I killed four more people, one father, two elder brothers, and one younger brother. A heinous crime."

Ji Shuliu was at a loss for words.

"After killing the traffickers, of course I have to go back to my hometown to find my parents. I only found out when I was taken away by the traffickers that my mother had a serious illness and passed away in just a few years. My father and brothers heard that I sold it in a brothel, and asked me frantically why I didn't commit suicide, but came back to disgust them, and didn't even let me see my mother's grave. I tried to persuade me with fantasies, and they threw me a rope, saying that I As long as I hang myself, I will still be the daughter of his family. They can find a piece of land near the ancestral grave to bury me. I was so angry that I smashed a cup in his family. They finally couldn't help it, holding a fire stick and a kitchen knife handle I rushed out the door, but my father kept insulting my mother, saying that a woman who gave birth to a whore is not innocent and should be dug out of the grave and thrown away. My three brothers were all born to my same mother. The words were silent, and I didn’t even say a fart.” Ting Yun looked down at the sword, and his slender fingers slowly wiped the sword surface, “I should have just walked away, but I’m not reconciled, I’ve already killed someone once, It would be much easier to kill again. Then, it was this sword that drank their blood."

"Have you ever killed anyone else?"

"No, I'm in charge of spreading the news in Drunken Sun Fort, and it's not my turn to kill. But, I'm going to help the boss kill the bastard."

Ji Shuliu blinked, and said hesitantly: "There are still many good people on the Baidao. It's just that those in your family... deserve it."

Two lines of tears ran across Ting Yun's cheeks: "When I came back from killing people, Li Xiao only said four words, which was 'they deserve it'. You really are his good apprentice, and there is nothing wrong with you." She looked out again , shook his head and said, "I'll go out to fight for a while, no matter whether I live or die, there will be no end. You don't have to think about saving me, and I don't bother to accept Bai Dao's favor. Back then, I slept in the brothel with many Bai Dao 'heroes'. I haven't seen any good people."

"Wait, what happened to my elder brother? I think it's better for you to surrender! Sister-in-law..."

Ting Yun smiled wryly: "You still have a sweet tongue. Boss knows that I am determined to die, so why wouldn't you call me Madam?" While complaining, he disappeared from the entrance of the cave, and disappeared in an instant .

Yan Er stood up and opened the cage door and all the shackles on Qin Songfeng's body one by one.

■

The autumn rain continued all day long, and the sky was getting darker and darker: at dusk, the sun quietly set on the west mountain outside the thick clouds.

At this time, three days and three nights had passed since Qin Songfeng entered the iron cage.

After the restraint was released, Qin Songfeng was still kneeling on the spot, his whole body was stiff and unable to move.Ji Shuliu picked him up and put him on Li Xiao's bed, sucking his wounds from the shackles one by one, spitting blood on the ground, sucking from his wrists to his knees and then to his ankles; then he began to massage his knees and waist back.Qin Songfeng trembled slightly, trying to slowly turn his wrist and ankle.

Ji Shuliu fed him another half bowl of warm water and fed him the unfinished cakes; he was hungry for too long and didn't dare to eat more of this dry and hard thing, so he only took two bites.

Yan Er looked outside, then turned around and said, "No one is guarding outside, should we wait here for someone to rescue us, or rush out?"

"Go out and take a detour back to Jingping Garden." Qin Songfeng suddenly sat up and made a decision for the three of them.

"I'm carrying you." Ji Shuliu stood in front of Qin Songfeng, assuming he was going to carry him.

"The road is still long, save some strength." Qin Songfeng grabbed Ji Shuliu's left arm and stood up, walking out of the cave with him in a nonchalant manner.

Standing at the entrance of the cave, one can see from a distance the heroes of the Baidao and Zuiribao fighting in the rain, and Xuan Chongzi and Li Xiao are fighting alone on a bare dirt bag.Both of them are current masters in their prime, Xuan Chongzi is cautious and steady, Li Xiao is precise and ruthless, and their moves are all restrained.

After a long stalemate, the two were covered in injuries, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that, perhaps because of distractions, Li Xiao's physical strength was slowly declining, and his energy was not at its peak. As long as there were no accidents, Xuan Chongzi was sure to win. It was just Xuan Chongzi's injury after Li Xiao's defeat.

For Li Xiao, this battle is either victory or death.

Ji Shuliu stared blankly for a moment, gritted his teeth, turned his head, and followed Yan Er down the mountain along the path.After going down the mountain, I could no longer see the battle between Li Xiao and Xuan Chongzi. When I passed by an empty and uninhabited area, I saw several bloody corpses with yellow cloths on their heads. They were all disciples of Drunken Sun Fort.One of the corpses was lying on his back, with a strong body and no clothes on his upper body. A narrow sword wound on his chest just pierced his heart. It was Taishan who was still beating Ji Shuliu just now.Ji Shuliu looked around, but he was relieved that he didn't see Wang Guitong.

Qin Songfeng picked up two swords and handed one of them to Ji Shuliu, who took it without saying a word.

Not long after going down the mountain, Yan Er lost his direction.Qin Songfeng was familiar with this place because he had explored the road before, so he chose a gentle but hidden road to go around to the east side of Jingping Garden, taking advantage of the dark sky to hide all the way, without encountering any enemies.

There were no corpses at the gate of Jingping Garden, but there were many bloodstains.Walking all the way in, there were bloodstains constantly, one can imagine how tragic the desperate attack on Drunken Sun Fort was before.

"Uncle Master! Shu Liu!" Liu Junwen saw them from a distance, and rushed over to hug them together.

"I just came back, how is it going here?" Qin Songfeng asked in a deep voice.

Liu Junwen heard that his voice was weak, and hurriedly examined his injuries carefully: "Master, your complexion is so bad."

"I can't die, you talk about business first."

"Wen Ruyi is gone, the rest of the children are fine, and the injuries are not serious. During the day, Li Xiao forced dozens of people to rush in and killed Mr. Lu at one point, but fortunately he did not hurt Mr. Lu. The entire army was wiped out, and only Li Xiao escaped with injuries. Now there are not many people left in Drunken Sun Fort, and it is impossible to rush in again. Daoist Li guards Mr. Lu, and Daoist Xuan Chongzi leads people to attack Drunken Sun Fort. The lair!"

"I heard that Shang Tongtian is going to enter Jingping Garden again, has he not come yet?"

"No."

Qin Songfeng pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Wen Ruyi and Ge Xingli are not familiar, so why did you bring him here?"

"The four older ones wanted to see Uncle Ge for the last time, and they made an appointment to go over the wall in a corner of our villa, but unexpectedly ran into Xingli hiding there crying. Wen Ruyi suddenly burst into heroism, and said that he would bring Xingli with him Come here, Xingli followed me in a daze..." Liu Junwen burst into tears, "Uncle, I'm sorry for Junior Brother Wen, I scolded him for not knowing the seriousness before he died..."

Qin Songfeng was silent for a moment, and comforted: "People have misfortunes and blessings overnight, and if he has knowledge in the spring, he won't blame you. Is there any loss on the white road besides him?"

"Yes, I just don't know the number of people, and I haven't heard of any accidents with our close friends." Liu Junwen glanced at Ji Shuliu, "Not long after Shuliu and I left, a group of people mistook the place and rushed to where the injured brothers lived. Miss Xiao killed more than half of them, but two people rushed towards Brother Lu Shan of the Spirit Snake Gang..."

Qin Songfeng was surprised: "Isn't Lu Shan's leg injury the most taboo to move?"

"Lu Shan is fine, only suffered some skin trauma. The one who has something to do is Tao Gangzhu! Tao Gangzhu tried his best to stand in front of Lu Shan until a rib was broken and a leg bone was chopped, and he refused to retreat. Finally, it finally lasted until Miss Xiao pulled out her hand to kill the two people. The brothers who were present at the time were all stunned. Tao Gangzhu was jealous all day long that his junior brother suppressed his limelight. He didn't expect that something big happened, and he was still the closest brother of his own. !"

"How is Master Tao doing now?"

"Life is safe, but I will walk with a limp in the future. Miss Xiao forced her hands with her injuries, and now her injuries are getting worse. Miss Sun is busy taking care of her and has no time to come. I will tell Miss Sun that you are back later, so that she will not be anxious. "

Ji Shuliu saw that Qin Songfeng had already asked the same question, so he also asked: "How is Xingli, are you frightened?"

"He has been crying for the past few days. During the day, he kneels next to the coffins of Brother Ge and Wen Ruyi, sleeps when he is tired from crying, and wakes up in the middle of the night to continue crying."

Ji Shuliu recalled the moment when Wen Ruyi was killed, and felt another pain in his heart: "It's all because of my poor lightness skills. I ran too slowly and didn't have time to save people."

"It should be my fault, if I'm fine." Qin Songfeng patted Ji Shuliu, "If it weren't for you, even Xingli and Junwen would be in danger. Junwen, please persuade Xingli when you have time, don't let him cry his eyes out Last time I saw Senior Brother Ge, he also mentioned Xingli, saying that this kid loves studying more and more, and it would be good if he could abandon martial arts and focus on literature in the future, at least he will live a peaceful life."

Yan Er kept silent, just listened to their conversation carefully, and sighed slightly when he heard this.Liu Junwen couldn't help asking, "Who is this?"

Qin Songfeng pulled Yan Er to his side very kindly: "This is our internal response in Drunken Sun Fort."

Seeing that his kindness was not polite, Ji Shuliu asked in surprise, "You guys have known each other for a long time?"

Yan Er sighed: "My biological parents were found by the Second Sect Leader of Qin for me. When Bai Dao learned that I was Yan Du's substitute, and had never participated in the robbery of Zuishi Castle, he gave me a lenient, and only arranged for him There are no special restrictions on living in cities with strong Baidao influence. Later, Chisumen accidentally collected information about my parents, and the head of Qin Ermen came to visit in person and persuaded me to visit my parents and escort them all the way home, so we got to know each other. Qin The head of the second sect is a friend worthy of deep friendship. Don't you think so too?"

Ji Shuliu nodded, thinking that no one had a deeper relationship with Qin Songfeng than himself, but it was a pity that he couldn't say this.

The four of them walked towards the depths of Jingping Garden while talking, and met an old man with white beard and hair, but Dou Laolong who had a good friendship with Ji Shuliu.Dou Laolong was holding a broken umbrella, his left arm was injured and hung on his shoulder, but he looked good.As soon as Liu Junwen saw him, he shouted: "Our second sect master and Shu Liu are back safely!"

Dou Laolong also showed joy when he saw the two, patted Qin Songfeng and Ji Shuliu on the shoulders and praised them as two men; he also saw Yan Er, with more smile lines on his face, and greeted him enthusiastically.Yan Er and him are obviously old acquaintances, and they are familiar with each other.

Everyone walked to the small courtyard where the Baidao wounded lived. Dou Laolong took Yan Er to discuss business with Li Daochang of the Wudang School. Liu Junwen sent Qin Songfeng and Ji Shuliu to a quieter room to rest. Get dry laundry and a pot of cold porridge elsewhere.

Qin Songfeng half-lyed on the bed, drank a bowl of Liu Junwen's slightly heated porridge, showing a tired look.Liu Junwen also had other tasks. Seeing that they had settled down, he said goodbye and left.Qin Songfeng lay down, Ji Shuliu lay down next to him, and hugged him tightly.

"You haven't eaten or drunk these three days?"

"Drink it. It's raining, and there's rain."

Ji Shuliu lightly rubbed Qin Songfeng's right wrist, and brought it to his lips for a kiss: "Your hand was shaking a little while holding the bowl just now."

"You'll be fine once you sleep." Qin Songfeng closed his eyes, touched Ji Shuliu's wet hair, "I saw them beat you up there, and they hit you hard. You're not hurt lightly, take care with me Go to sleep..." As he spoke, his voice gradually lowered, and he fell into a deep sleep.

Ji Shuliu wanted to sleep, but it seemed like a huge rock was pressing on his heart.After finally falling asleep, one after another, ecstatic voices came from outside: "Li Xiao is dead!"

He immediately got up and rushed out of the dark door, his mind was empty and chaotic, and he didn't know what he was thinking.Before rushing out of the room, a rusty taste came out of his mouth, and the internal injury from Wang Guitong's blow broke out, and he was dizzy and unconscious.

The author has something to say: This life and this night are not good, where will the bright moon look next year.
