tick knife

Yao Yi sat at the table, staring at the street outside the window, counting the number of pedestrians.At three o'clock on the count of 110, the door opened, and Yao Ye hurried in.He changed into the new clothes he had just bought, and he didn't fit very well, and his appearance was a bit gloomy, giving people a strong first-timer impression.It just so happened that Yao Yi was dressed in silk and silk that day, his head was full of pearls and emeralds, and he didn't carry a sword. He was sitting upright like a helpless lady, with his sleeves covering his fingertips. With a sharp blade, I always feel hairy in my heart.He also sat down, took a sip of the tea on the table, and before drinking it, he thought to himself: If there is poison in it, it means that my road to rivers and lakes has come to an end here, and there is no need to bother.But Yao Yi didn't give him this chance, before he put down the cup, he asked, "What did Qi Diaoming say?"

Her eyes were so bright that Yao Ye couldn't look directly at her, but could only lower his head to stare at the water in the porcelain cup, speaking inexplicably without confidence. "He said my parents were dead, and so was my enemy."

Yao Yi sneered. "He's not telling you the truth."

Yao Ye thought: "Did you just tell me the truth?" He said, "Maybe it's just that he doesn't know. Maybe deep down in his heart, he hopes that his father is dead."

Yao Yi nodded: "It's not unreasonable."

Yao Ye suddenly realized that he was making excuses for Qi Diaoming just now, and a burst of anger suddenly appeared in his heart. "How can you say that the person who knows this sword technique is the murderer who killed my mother?"

"Master has witnessed it with his own eyes."

"Who is your master?"

Yao Yi said: "It's my father's friend. Everything about me was taught by him. On the day my mother was killed, he happened to go to visit. It was already too late, and I only saw the moment when the murderer drew his sword. Then my mother dragged her life and hugged her." After you run away, the murderer will go with you."

The two voices in Yao Ye's head, "make it up, you continue to make it up" and "what about later", fought each other, and they were indistinguishable, but his face remained calm. "Why didn't he chase after?"

Yao Yi said: "Because he suddenly found out that I was still alive and just held my breath for a while. He took me away."

Yao Yi said with a smile: "I really want to pay a visit to Venerable Master and listen to his own words."

Yao Yi: "Not now, he's not in Shuozhou. My master saw that sword very clearly. Not everyone can use that kind of sword. Since it can't be you, I can only teach you this sword." A man with a sword. Qi Diaoming has very few friends, only two or three. There is only one person who can trust him with confidence and who is famous for his sword."

fifth person.

Although this person's temper is as strange as his name, he is an out-and-out swordsmanship wizard.Unlike Qi Diaoming, he left Saibei more than ten years ago, and his name is still occasionally mentioned among the Jianghu people in this area.

Yao Ye said coldly: "Nonsense."

Yao Yi's face darkened. "I'll tell you something."

Yao Ye: "Even you know that the fifth person and Qi Diaoming are close friends, so why does he insist on killing the person Qi Diaoming admires?"

He called his master by his name without any scruples, and he didn't seem to be referring to his own mother.It seems that with this kind of wording, I am just an outsider who can't get anything done, and I can look on these old things openly from the sidelines.

Yao Yi: "Brothers are like siblings, and wives are like clothes. Haven't you heard of it? What's more, it is precisely because he is the person Qi Diaoming admires that he wants to do it. The person he loves is married to someone else, and he loses his mind every day. Such a haggard Qi Diaoming, he I really can’t stand it anymore. What’s the death of a woman? As long as Qi Diaoming knows, he might not care, maybe he’s very grateful. Don’t you see that Qi Diaoming is invincible now?”

Yao Ye slapped the table, and the tea splashed Yao Yi's sleeve. "This is all your speculation."

Yao Yi sneered and said, "I don't have to ask you to believe it. If you're happy, just think I'm farting." He flicked his sleeves, jumped up and walked outside.Yao Ye suddenly felt bad. "Wait, where are you going?"

Yao Yi stopped and didn't look back. "I want revenge, do you still want to take care of it?"

Yao Ye decided to tell the truth. "He's a monster. You can't kill him."

Yao Yi looked serious: "I can pretend to be you before going."

Yao Ye smiled wryly: "It's not easy."

Yao Yi: "Why is it not easy? I can pretend to be kidnapped, half-dead, and only let him see his face. No matter how powerful he is, he is just a person, and care is chaotic. Are you afraid that there will be no gap?"

Yao Ye stood up. "I can't let you go."

Yao Yi said firmly: "Unless you kill me here."

In connection with her previous style, this sentence is highly credible, Yao Ye only felt his temples throbbing. "No, no, no, I don't want to fight with you. What you said just now is all one-sided. I believe that my master will not do such a thing. There must be some misunderstanding."

Yao Yi snorted. "Your master is a gentleman, but is my master a sinister villain? Is there any difference between your trust in your master and my trust in mine?"

Yao Ye: "...I didn't mean that. Don't misunderstand me. I didn't jump out of a crack in the rock. It is impossible not to avenge my mother. I will definitely ask the master for clarification. Before that, I hope you can agree. Me, don't act rashly—this is mainly for your safety."

Yao Yi: "That's very good. But why do you believe me? Why should I believe you?"

Yao Ye: "Then what do you want?"

Yao Yi reached into his neckline and took out a small pendant.It was half of an old Pisces pendant, and the green jade had faded to some spots of white.The fish head and fish tail at the fracture were too smooth, even if there was another half, it might not fit - because the other half was held in Yao Ye's hand, and the wear was worse than this one.

Yao Yi spread out his palms. "We can exchange each other as proof. I won't seek revenge on the fifth person now, but you must also give me an explanation."

"Oh my God." Yao Ye whispered. "I actually have a sister."

Qi Diaoming sat in the yard, occasionally looking up at the door.But he often doesn't pass by a person all day long, only the yellow dog lies at his feet, occasionally licking his knees.

He is sharpening a wooden knife.The sun moved slowly in the afternoon in spring, and there was no wind and dust. The iron claws were slightly hot from the sun, and then gradually cooled down.At the last ray of light with warmth also fell, only the clear background color like water flow remained on the horizon, and the wooden knife in Qi Diaoming's hand was also close to taking shape.

The young man's brisk footsteps approached from a distance, and slowed down when he approached the door, a little hesitant.Although he has obtained the permission to come and go freely, Yao Ye always feels like he has done something wrong. He probed inside first and saw the lacquer carved Ming Dama and Jindao sitting in the yard, so he walked in nonchalantly: "Senior, what are you doing?" ?”

Qi Diaoming said: "I'm waiting for you."

He told the truth, but Yao Ye flinched suddenly as if he was being burned, and his guilty feeling became more and more intense, but apologizing for this would be too useless in this place, so he had nothing to say. "Senior, don't you feel lonely living here all this time?"

Qi Diaoming continued to sharpen the wooden knife in his hand: "I don't think so."

Yao Ye dragged a bench and sat down beside him, turning his head to watch his movements. "My master loves to be lively."

Qi Diaoming said indifferently: "It's beyond my expectation that he has only you by his side for so many years."

Yao Ye: "Ah, please don't worry about this, senior. I brag about the hype with me every day. The widow of the east family insists on marrying him, the girl of the west family falls for him, and the tofu Xishi on the South Street is his old friend. I said from Since I was five years old, you have been calling every day to find me a mistress, and there is no sign of it. He said that it is not all because of me, and no one wants him with children. Seniors, you can comment , who delays who?"

Qi Diaoming was silent, Yao Ye waited for a long time and didn't wait for the next sentence, he was a little embarrassed, curled his lips, Qi Diaoming suddenly handed him the wooden knife. "Try."

Yao Ye was dumbfounded. "For me?"

Qi Diaoming: "For you."

Yao Ye was overwhelmed by the flattery, and hastily swiped the knife, but forgot that the wooden knife was too light, so he didn't take advantage of it, and pulled the wound on his back, baring his teeth in pain.Qi Diaoming said: "That's enough. Change the medicine first."

Yao Ye laughed and said, "I have to trouble senior again." Without further ado, he took off his coat and middle clothes, and sat down with his back to Qi Diaoming with his upper body on, to borrow the last light from the sky.It was dusk, the night wind was blowing up, and the cold was penetrating his bones. He didn't care about it, and the words kept circling in his mind, and finally he pretended to be nonchalant and asked: "By the way, senior, what kind of method did the person who killed my mother use?" sword?"

"A murderous sword."

Yao Ye smiled wryly: "Senior, if you don't want me to ask, I won't ask."

Qi Diao said: "It's the killer who took the cashier's life, so the sword he used was naturally the murderer's sword."

Yao Ye thought about it carefully, and felt that Qi Diaoming didn't seem to be perfunctory, so he flattered him: "I just want to know what kind of person is able to break your arm."

Qi Diaoming rewrapped the cloth strips, his fingers were warm and hard, like a dead branch that had been scorched, the tactile sensation was indescribable. "As I said, I was not outstanding when I was young. If the fifth day hadn't arrived later and rescued me and you from a coma, I'm afraid I would have died of serious injuries."

Yao Ye suddenly trembled.

He seemed to feel the cold only at this time, and immediately got goose bumps all over his body, and he sneezed twice before it stopped.

Qi Diaoming watched him put on his clothes in a hurry, and asked indifferently: "What have you heard?"

Yao Ye said: "I didn't..."

He stopped talking halfway.He thought it was ridiculous that he wanted to find out Qi Diaoming's tone.He hardly even had the courage to turn around and look at Qi Diaoming.

Why couldn't he openly ask what he wanted to ask, why couldn't he tell Qi Diaoming all about Yao Yi, and then let this senior with much more experience than him judge?Although he was a little eager to try and find out the truth behind it by himself, could it be that he himself had a suspicion in his heart that the fifth person had concealed his life experience for a long time, and there was something ulterior in it?

The last thought was too outrageous, and Yao Ye's back was covered with cold sweat.Qi Diaoming saw that he hadn't responded for a long time, so his tone slowed down a bit. "If you don't want to tell me, it doesn't matter, I won't force it, but I hope you will put your own life first and don't take any risks."

Yao Ye woke up suddenly, and said with a quick smile, "I know, I'm not a child anymore. If something happens to me, you can't explain to Master, you can't explain to mother. I understand everything."

Qi Diaoming suddenly became angry. "You do not understand."

Yao Ye doesn't care about anything, just follow the good advice: "Okay, okay, I don't understand."

He bowed slightly, and went straight to the kitchen, an extremely absurd thought popped into his mind: when he first saw his appearance, Qi Diaoming could show such an expression, if Qi Diaoming saw Yao Yi now, would he not Will it resurface?

I must have eaten something wrong today.As he washed his hands, he thought: In any case, it is time to write a letter to the fifth person.
