Why! Judging from your skills, aren’t you the same? Why can you do it but I can't? "
"You first think about how to survive alone." Bai Ya said with a stern face, "Do you know what killer means? My mother just went on the last mission. My father had promised them that it would be the last time... …”
"Zuojimen?" Liu Shenghan asked tentatively.
"Yes." He said calmly, "My mother was eight months pregnant at that time, and they wanted to give up their jobs, retire from the world, and live a life without fighting against the world... just like here."
He pointed out the window. No wonder just now when Jun Aoyan sighed with emotion, he suddenly became a little angry, probably because he thought of this. Aoyan understands now and no longer cares about it. Bai Ya crossed his legs, adjusted his sitting posture, supported his face, and continued:
"The Zuojimen are trustworthy... most of the time, to the employer. To the inside, they are insidious and cunning. Now that I think about it, my parents are still extremely naive. They have obviously dealt with so many so-called traitors, but they actually have delusions. I can say something based on my seniority. It’s a place that chews people’s bones, even those of the same kind. My father was young and vigorous, and in order to express his stance, he actually chopped it off in front of them. Broken his arm. This meant that he was giving back the guy he had been eating for many years. The group of people asked them to go on one last mission - with one less arm. He agreed. At that time, he and My mother and my best friend Shui Wujun all knew that Zuo Jinmen was trying to make things difficult for him, but there was nothing they could do about it. Shui Wujun took the good sword that had been with him for many years and cut off his arm and attached it to his body. A few months later, when the agreed time came, the mission was successfully completed... I didn't expect them to launch a cold arrow."
"How shameless!"
Before Qi Huan could express his position, Mingming had already scolded him for what he was thinking. On the other hand, Bai Ya is not that cynical. He took a deep breath and continued:
"My mother died... They thought that my father's iron arm was a sleight of hand. So they also played a word game. They said that this arm was the price my father paid voluntarily. But after waiting for months, why didn’t my mother show any sign? It’s natural to take her life back. She was brought up by Zuo Renmen since she was a child. "
"Don't they have any feelings?" Jun Aoyan felt incredible.
"No. There are a lot of children like this out there. They kidnap the babies left behind by someone else's killing, or they pick up unwanted children somewhere - it's not hard to find them. Some people in the organization already have families. If the mission is gone, they will be 'adopted'. The organization likes this kind of people very much because they will work harder and be more cautious. They are easy to control and will not let themselves die easily, lest their children make the same mistake again. But in the end , basically this is the fate. No one can escape."
"What should the child eat? If it is too young, how can it be done without someone to take care of it?" Aoyan asked.
"Those who are easy to starve to death or freeze to death are eliminated. Being born weak is the original sin. It's better to suffer less from human suffering. Anyway, they have no shortage of children. Sometimes, if there is no order to kill people, they will Capture the wives and children, and now we have a wet nurse. Kill the wet nurse when she is old, so they don’t become a burden."
"What the hell?" Qi Huan couldn't stand listening anymore, "I only knew that they killed people without batting an eyelid, and it was rumored that even ghosts and gods stayed away. Who would have thought that there would be such shameful and scandalous things in it. Disgusting, disgusting! How on earth can a person with a dark psychology become the leader of such an organization?"
"They are...actually very scattered. There is no leader of the Zuoji Sect, it is just an organization. There are many people who are secret pillars, including the powerful people of the imperial court. Everyone can speak, that is, everyone has no real power, except The bullies are surprisingly unified. Some people even proposed before that we no longer recruit idle people in the world, but instead kidnap children from childhood, or simply capture women for rebirth, and turn them into a tool team with strict discipline and no emotions like the army. However, some people objected to this. Things went south. Those who opposed it were not good birds, but because the cost was too high, it took too long, and power could easily be monopolized... These are what my father said."
"Your father really dares to tell you anything... Tsk, it's very difficult to eradicate this kind of thing." Qi Huan was still angry.
Liu Shenghan suddenly showed a strange smile, with a kind of superior mockery. The gloom from the inside out spreads from that peaceful face, and the charming and dangerous aura is like a thorny flower. It is not only thorny, but also poisonous, and the pain will not end so easily after the person who boldly tries it leaves.
"Sheng, Shenghan..." Jun Aoyan smiled awkwardly, "What happened to you suddenly?"
"Because it's interesting."
"interesting?"
Aoyan felt confused and puzzled. Liu Shenghan shouldn't be a villain, everything she experienced negated this possibility. But why did she show such inhuman indifference and indescribable viciousness at this moment? She didn't know that she actually didn't understand this woman at all, and she didn't understand this woman who saved her life.
"Some trees have lush branches and leaves, but when the roots are dug out, they are found to be shriveled and rotten. The inside of the tree has long been eaten away by borers. The entire tall tree body, even the smallest branches, is filled with bugs, leaving only a majestic-sounding shell. Some trees It was dead and dried out, and only a wooden pile was left, covered with moss and fungi. If you dig deeper, you will find that the root system is extremely dense and full of vitality, even involving all the surrounding vegetation. It is slightly uncomfortable. Shen, not only will the hoe not be clean, but the life of the good tree will also be lost. Tell me, isn't this funny?"
A sinister smile came from Liu Shenghan's thin lips, which made people feel chilled. She used to be more restrained, but now she no longer disdains that useless disguise. After all, her friends are almost inseparable from her. Fortunately, her "malice" is quite broad, never targeting any individual or group, but the entire ethnic group in a broad sense, regardless of whether they are human beings or ghosts. There are very few such people, and they are often the ones who remain calm and effective most of the time.
Bai Ya still didn't speak, while Mingming listened blankly. He didn't understand anything now, and they hoped he wouldn't understand anything in the future either.
"What happened next?" Mingming still wanted to ask.
"Nothing happened after that. At most, I just failed to plot against my father, so I threw dirty water on him. Many cases of egregious nature that followed were not committed by him at all, but were done by Zuo Jinmen. Over and over again, it is unclear whether he did it or not. I have to be blamed by all kinds of people. There was a concubine in the prince's house who was peeked at while taking a bath, and the guards dared to blame it on my father. Is it ridiculous? He is an excuse for evil people to kill people, and it is also a reason for stupid people to fail in handling cases. In fact, He rarely shows up in front of people, so I do all the shopping, after all, his arms are so eye-catching."
Jun Aoyan actually put down the bowl, put his hands in front of Bai Ya, and kowtowed hard. This was so sudden that everyone was stunned. Even Bai Ya didn't know what she was causing all of a sudden.
"what do you mean."
"sorry."
"What are you apologizing for? You don't seem to owe me any money."
"I listened to the rumors from the court and concluded that your father is a heinous sinner."
"Are you not the first to feel this way? You won't be the last either."
"But I should apologize." She arched her body, her forehead never leaving the ground. "Along the way, I kept telling myself that a father should not look at his children with prejudice because of his mistakes. Although I think I do I arrived, but I never thought that even this serious crime was unfounded. I actually considered something that was not true. Please forgive me."
Qi Huan clasped his hands, hugged Bai Ya with his shoulders, and whispered: "Old Bai, just forgive her and let her have peace of mind. After all, there is one less person in the world who misunderstands your father, right? ?”
Bai Ya shut up and said nothing. The room was quiet for a while, Jun Aoyan always maintained this posture, as motionless as a sculpture. After a long time, he sighed and said helplessly:
"It doesn't matter what I say. If you insist on apologizing, you should go to the old man and say it in person."
Jun Aoyan finally raised his head, feeling relieved. Bai Ya has never argued with anyone, so how can he forgive him? And after being together for so long, she was completely sure that Bai Ya was not the kind of reckless man who was brave and unreasonable. It's been a long time since Bai Ya teased her everywhere and forced her to be pushed to the powerful side that she didn't like, and she couldn't get off the stage.
"Then should I apologize to you too?"
"Why, why?"
"Because until just now, I thought you were the court's dog."
"..."
"Forget it, you only thanked Shenghan for saving your life, but you didn't thank us who were busy. Just take it as a balance, I won't argue with you anymore."
After that, Bai Ya stood up and stretched, preparing to go upstairs to sleep. It seemed that he was going to leave the cleaning of the pots and dishes to others. Jun Aoyan was speechless for a moment, stood up, and defended hurriedly:
"I was joking then! Can't I thank you now? Hey, don't leave, I -"
"You're welcome." Qi Huan said suddenly, "I took it for him. It's nothing, this is what we should do."
"roll roll roll."
"What's wrong with you? Am I not worthy?"
A group of people went upstairs arguing. Liu Shenghan looked at the mess in front of him and smiled helplessly. She packed it up slowly. Just in time, Xue Mo came back from outside.
"Are you done eating?"
"Have you eaten? Mr. Xue, have you eaten?"
"Well, I ate it at someone else's house."
The two chatted casually for a few words and washed the dishes together. Liu Shenghan could see that he was a kind person, and he didn't want them to cause any trouble here. As if she remembered something, she asked Xuemo for two books, both of which were written in the language of Jiutian Kingdom. There are no special teaching books here, just simple readings. Xue Mo said that some places were annotated with words that existed in the past, which should be understandable. It would be more appropriate to use them to familiarize yourself with the language. Liu Shenghan thanked him.
When it was time to go to bed, she came upstairs with her books, and everyone had already laid out the mattresses. There is only a partition here dividing two large areas, and the other area is filled with debris.
Jun Aoyan held two candles in his hands and hesitated.
"Suddenly I remembered the gift from the God of Incense." She explained, "I want to...light it and try it. But I don't know if it's poisonous."
"No." Liu Shenghan said, "The two of you are just ordinary grease wax with some essential oils added. I have researched it and it is not poisonous. Just order whatever you want. I just want to read a book for a while. I'll kill it for you before going to bed."
Aoyan looked at the bottom of the candle, and sure enough, there were even traces of being shaved. I really don’t know when she passed it without knowing it. But since Shenghan said so, she felt relieved. She picked up the nearly burned out lighting wax and lit the one with her name engraved on it first. She said to Bai Ya who was already lying down:
"Shall I order yours too? I'm afraid Shenghan won't have enough light to read."
"up to you."
"Brother Bai, Brother Bai—" Mingming suddenly sat up and pushed Bai Ya who was lying down.
"What are you doing again?"
"My sister asked me to tell you. She said your father is always by your side."
"This is really flattering." Qi Huan suddenly sat up and answered.
"Go away -" Bai Ya kicked him and glanced at Mingming, "Children, don't talk nonsense."
Mingming was anxious: "Really! You believe me, she promised me. You don't have to believe me, but she..."
"Okay, okay, I believe it. Go to bed now!"
After saying that, Bai Ya turned over and made it clear that he didn't want to talk to anyone anymore. Mingming lay down contentedly, and soon fell asleep. She was just a child after all. Although Bai Ya had his back turned to them, he kept his eyes open. In the air, the smell of two different scented waxes intertwined, making people feel indescribably calm. Finally, everyone fell asleep one after another, including Bai Ya.
The night is very quiet. Only Liu Shenghan's fingertips occasionally turned the pages of the book, making a soft sound.
