"Oh, I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful. In this last world, cough, there are too few people like you... Forget it, don't talk about it, come with me." The middle-aged woman took Xiao Ziling and Chu Zhitian with emotion. To the place where the old man rests.
The room was very small, and there was no furniture inside. There was only a temporary cot made out of a partition, and an old man with white hair and a haggard face was lying there with his last breath.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Ziling's eyes became moist. He walked over slowly, knelt down, and whispered in the old man's ear: "Master, master..."
Hearing this voice, the old man opened his eyes slightly, and when he saw Xiao Ziling, tears flowed down his eyes uncontrollably.
It wasn't that the old man knew of Xiao Ziling's existence, but that the old man's mind was still in a daze and he hadn't really come to his senses.
Xiao Ziling felt sore. It turned out that he was late. When he met in his previous life, his master was like this. He was half crazy, half awake. When he was awake, he would go out to set up a stall to exchange for some food. Whoever it is, can only starve. Sometimes he felt sorry for the old man, so he gave some food when he had food. Unexpectedly, the old man finally woke up and taught him that set of sword skills, which benefited him a lot...
The old man stared blankly at Xiao Ziling for a few seconds, then suddenly reached out and patted his head and said, "Is it Xiaoling? My Xiaoling is back?"
"Yes! Master, it is Xiaoling who has returned." Xiao Ziling replied with tears. He knew that the old man wasn't calling him. In the previous life, the old man would touch him and call him like this when he was crazy. He knew that the old man was calling his relatives deep in his heart, but he didn't know who it was, it was just a coincidence that he was also called Xiaoling.
The old man looked past Xiao Ziling, and suddenly saw Chu Zhitian standing aside. This scene stimulated him, he pointed at Chu Zhitian and said excitedly: "Who is he? Did he come to snatch Xiaoling? Beast!" After speaking, he took Xiao Ziling's hand and comforted him. "Xiao Ling, don't be afraid, quickly hide behind Grandpa, Grandpa will protect you..."
At this time, the middle-aged woman quickly comforted her, "No, no, Uncle, this is Xiaoling's husband. He came to see you with Xiaoling."
Hearing this, the old man seemed to be losing his mind. He murmured, "Xiaoling is married? Why didn't I know? Did I fall asleep?"
The middle-aged woman said with a smile: "Yes, Uncle, you are sleepy."
"No. Isn't someone going to snatch Xiaoling? Is he just that bastard? Then come to lie to me?" The old man was too impressed before he was injured, and immediately retorted angrily.
"No, master, he is really my husband, we are very affectionate." Xiao Ziling quickly got up from the ground, walked over and put his arms around Chu Zhitian's waist, resting his head on Chu Zhitian's chest, Said to his master with an incomparably affectionate look.
After Xiao Ziling finished speaking, he saw that Chu Zhitian was standing differently. The whole wooden stake did not cooperate with his movements at all, and he couldn't help but put Chu Zhitian's hands on his waist in a fit of anger, and warned his boss to hug him tightly with his eyes, if the master saw Flaws, angry and sad. He wants him to look good.
Chu Zhitian, who was threatened by his younger brother, put his arms around Xiao Ziling's waist speechlessly. Every time he came out, my little brother would grow up with courage, looking at the persuasive eyes, unknowingly thought he was the little brother. However, Chu Zhitian still satisfied his younger brother's request, since he hugged him tightly, let's hug him tightly.
Xiao Ziling twisted his body uncomfortably. Damn, his boss must be taking revenge. The hug is too tight, too close together. Seeing the pair of Bi people in front of him, the old man finally showed his satisfaction. He said again and again: "Okay, okay, okay, that's good if Xiaoling is happy, who is your name?" The old man found that he didn't even know the name of his grandson-in-law.
"Chu Zhitian!" Chu Zhitian said his name coldly, an aura rushed towards his face, but disappeared instantly. The mother and son didn't notice it at all, but after all, the old man practiced martial arts, and his five senses were sensitive, so he caught it all at once, so he laughed heartily: "Okay, Chu Zhitian, my Xiaoling has a good eye, then I will hand Xiaoling to Xiaoling. You." When he said this, his eyes became clear, and he no longer had the dazed look just now.
Chu Zhitian hugged Xiao Ziling in his arms, did not make a sound, just nodded, but the firmness in his eyes was clearly conveyed to the old man.
The old man nodded in satisfaction, and just about to say something, he coughed suddenly, his originally clear eyes dimmed again, he closed his eyes for a rest, opened them again and asked seriously: "You guys, do you have a child? ".
When Xiao Ziling heard this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. How could he answer this? The more he told the lie, the more outrageous it became.
Chu Zhitian, who was holding Xiao Ziling in his arms, replied calmly: "Yes, I am five years old, and my name is Chu Xiaoqi." Xiao Qi, please sacrifice again.
"Chu Xiaoqi? Why are you so casual? Who chose this name." The old man looked a little unhappy, thinking that the name was too substandard.
Chu Zhitian glanced at Xiao Ziling who was cramped in his arms, and replied flatly: "Xiao Ling took it."
When the old man heard this, his expression became kind: "It turned out that Xiaoling took it..."
Xiao Ziling could only nod his head, secretly resenting that since his boss lied, he lied to the end, and directly took the naming thing down, why did he tell the truth and betray him
The old man recited it silently several times and was satisfied, he said: "This name is good, Xiaoling is of a high standard, and has the taste of a swordsman." Hearing that Xiao Ziling almost fell down, master, your old man's standard of recognition is too flexible Let's have a drink.
The old man's expression became serious, and he said to Xiao Ziling: "Xiao Ling, our family's unique learning must be passed on to Xiao Qi, and let Xiao Qi carry forward our family's swordsmanship."
Xiao Ziling nodded repeatedly and said: "Okay, master, I will definitely do it." Because of this promise, Xiao Qi has since fallen into the painful quagmire of practicing swords, and he will never be able to escape this boundless sea of suffering for the rest of his life.
Chu Xiaoqi, who was sleeping soundly in the caravan, suddenly felt chills all over his body. He was half asleep and half awake and wrapped the quilt tightly around his body, wondering why it was getting cold this day... Turned over in a daze and fell into a deep sleep again. At that time, he didn't know that his unscrupulous "parents" had sold him out.
The wish of the old man who got a satisfactory answer was finally fulfilled. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he raised his head desperately and shouted to Xiao Ziling: "Also, you guys escape quickly, this place is too dangerous, leave me, a bad old man."
"Don't worry, Master, let's go together." Hearing this, Xiao Ziling rushed to the bedside, and he held the old man's hand with tears streaming down his face. The old man's words touched his heartstrings again. It was the same words at the beginning. The master gave him the hope of life and let him escape from that desperate situation.
"No, I'm fine here, the fallen leaves return to their roots, and the fallen leaves return to their roots." The old man seemed to have no regrets, and he slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Seeing the old man's eyes closed, Xiao Ziling was startled, quickly put his fingers under the old man's nose, and found that he was still breathing, so he was relieved. Seeing that the old man was already sound asleep, he quietly left the room with everyone and went back outside.
Only then did the middle-aged woman tell them what had happened to the old man some time ago. It turned out that the old man had a granddaughter named Hong Xiaolin. The old man felt a little unwell a few days ago, so his granddaughter went to set up a stall instead of him. The leader's dog legs were discovered, and as soon as he got home, he rushed in and snatched the girl away. The old man fought with them with a sick body, but how could the physical strength skills of the Heian era compare with the awakened ones? The girl was still taken away, the old man He was also beaten all over his body. Some time ago, the old man almost couldn't get over it several times, but because of the unfulfilled wish in his heart, he survived by relying on that will...
Hearing all this, Xiao Ziling became furious: "Bastard, I will definitely tear his corpse into thousands of pieces."
This roar made the faces of the middle-aged woman and the young man change, and they quickly signaled Xiao Ziling to keep his voice down.
The young man said: "Sister, you have to keep your voice down. The leader of the base here is a super strong man, and there are his spies in various places. Anyone who is dissatisfied with him will be caught by them. That will be miserable. Listen Said that the only way to survive is to kill in a duel..."
Of course Xiao Ziling knew what it was, he used this to escape from that place back then, and made his master pay the price with his life for his survival.
The middle-aged woman at the side saw that Xiao Ziling finally calmed down after hearing her son's words, and she breathed a sigh of relief: "Actually, Xiaolin is the most pitiful. I don't know whether she will live or die. I hope she can survive this ordeal. There will be a day when you come back.”
Hearing this, Xiao Ziling glanced at Chu Zhitian, and Chu Zhitian rubbed the center of his brows with a headache, this kid actually wanted to save people, did he really want to turn the whole base upside down? Fortunately, he came this time, we have to watch him later, otherwise something serious will happen. He finally understood that this kid was a bold guy when he came out.
However, Chu Zhitian did not ignore Xiao Ziling's thoughts. Maybe he will come forward in person to ask the boss of the base for someone. I believe he will not refuse. A cold light flashed in Chu Zhitian's eyes, and he believed that in the face of absolute strength, the boss of this base should know what it means to be a man who knows practical things.
At this moment, there was a sudden violent knock on the door, and someone shouted outside the door: "Open the door, open the door."
When the young man and the middle-aged woman heard this voice, their faces were all pale. The young man opened his mouth and said tremblingly, "Yes... those bastards."
Chu Zhitian frowned, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. These people finally took action. You must know that they have followed all the way until now. He commanded the young man calmly: "Go and open the door."
