The night is deep, the sky is full of stars, and the biting mountain wind blows on the window lattice, making a "creak" sound. Outside the window, in the distant sky, under the black clouds, only the faint outline of the Yinping Mountain can be seen in the starlight.
Xu Feng and Lei Zhentian had already gone to the wing, turned off the lights and went to sleep.
Luo Xiangxue and Zhao Qingzhu were drinking in the lobby downstairs. She had a great appetite tonight. She grabbed a roast chicken and tore it into pieces. She ate them in large pieces. After drinking one glass of strong wine, she felt a strong fire in her throat. Jump into the stomach.
Zhao Qingzhu felt a little uncomfortable at first accompanying such a big girl. The two of them chatted while eating and drinking, and the topic gradually started to change. Luo Xiangxue talked about her life experience in the mountains when she was a child, and she suddenly started talking and talked endlessly. Zhao Qingzhu, however, sat aside and listened quietly. As he listened, he fell into silence from time to time, as if he was remembering the painful experiences he had when he was a child.
Luo Xiangxue was in high spirits and poured wine frequently. She first filled it for Zhao Qingzhu, then filled it herself, and raised her glass to invite them. Seeing this, Zhao Qingzhu had to smile bitterly and drink one glass after another with her.
The lights in the middle room on the second floor were still on. That was the room where Chu Yunfei stayed. The weak light shined through the window paper, reflecting a faint apricot color. In the light and shadow, two figures sat opposite each other in front of the window. Chu Yunfei frowned, thinking for a long time, and finally said: "Yan'er, we are destined to be masters and disciples. Now that you have grown up and grown up, there is something that I have been thinking about for a long time, and I decided to tell you personally today." He sighed, his eyes showing pain, as if all the sorrows that had been accumulated in his heart for most of his life were pouring out. When he came up, his eyes flickered, and he continued, "Once upon a time, you asked me, my teacher, about your life experience, what is going on with your parents and sister?"
Liu Ruyan's heart tightened and she looked at him intently. It was obvious that he was very nervous. For so many years, every time he asked about it, the master always refused to tell him. Now, he suddenly let go. This made him very surprised, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy in his heart. And he urgently needed to know the truth.
Chu Yunfei stood up slowly, turned his back to Liu Ruyan, coughed and said with difficulty: "My teacher and your father have known each other thirty years ago. At that time, we were still wandering in the world. We were at a high-spirited age. We had similar interests and hit it off immediately, and we immediately became close friends. When you were five years old, on a stormy night, I was practicing in a secret room in Wolong Valley, Zhongnan Mountain. Suddenly, I received a letter from your father Feige, saying that the Liu family A disaster occurred in the village, and your family was besieged by the enemy. You may not be able to escape, but the odds are against you. Your father hid you brother and sister in an unknown secret room in the back of Huashan Mountain. Your father asked me to rescue you brother and sister and bring them back to the end. Nanshan took care of me. After I received the letter, I immediately rushed to Liujiazhuang at the foot of Huashan Mountain. I wanted to save your parents from the siege, but unfortunately I was still a step too late. When I rushed to Liujiazhuang overnight, the gate of Liujiazhuang was open, and the courtyard There were corpses lying everywhere, and everyone had a sword pierced through the throat. The death was horrific. At this time, the murderer had long disappeared. I shouted for your father and mother while looking through the corpses on the ground one by one, but I didn’t find your father. Mom, when I rushed into the backyard room, I found that your father and your mother were tied to the bed with their hands, strangled and suffocated to death." When he said this, his lips trembled, his voice trembled, and the pain in his eyes became even more intense. very.
Recalling the tragic killing many years ago, his face was twitching with rage, and his eyes seemed to be about to erupt with flames.
Liu Ruyan sat blankly, her face turned livid, and suddenly she stood up, her hands clenched into fists, her knuckles cracked with force, the blood in his chest was boiling, and his determined eyes were full of hatred. .
An extremely suppressed voice came from his throat, and he said every word with hatred: "Why were my parents killed? Who killed them? Who is it? Where is my little sister?" He stared at the old Chu Yunfei. His back was full of love and gratitude, and he was waiting for an answer.
After a long time, Chu Yunfei slowly turned around, looked at him calmly, and his voice became calmer: "My child, you have grown up now, and you also understand the essence of the martial arts taught to you by your master. , it is 80% ready, and the only thing left is to practice your mental state diligently. When fighting with the enemy, you must respond calmly and tactfully, and cooperate with the flexible use of martial arts moves to be sure of victory. Yan'er, my teacher wants to tell you today What's more, tomorrow, you don't have to go back to Zhongnan Mountain. In the past twenty years, the reason why my teacher has not told you about your life experience is
To put it bluntly, first of all, it's because your martial arts are not yet strong enough to deal with the enemy. Secondly, I don’t know the whereabouts of the real murderer of your parents. I only know the name of that person. ” He stared into Liu Ruyan’s eyes.
Liu Ruyan's eyes widened and she asked excitedly: "What's the murderer's name?"
Chu Yunfei stared at him and finally said two words: "Luo Lin. That person's name is Luo Lin!" When he said these two words, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, as if the sorrow and resentment that had been accumulated for many years were finally poured out.
Liu Ruyan gritted her teeth and said bitterly: "Luo Lin? Why did he kill my parents? What kind of hatred did he want to destroy all the members of my Liu family? Luo Lin, Luo Lin, I want him to repay this blood debt with his blood. I We must find the real murderer and avenge the lives of my parents and dozens of people in Liujiazhuang." He punched the wooden table next to the bed hard, and the wooden table immediately fell into pieces.
Zhao Qingzhu and Luo Xiangxue downstairs were shocked by this heavy blow, and they looked upstairs with suspicious faces. The waiter who was keeping watch in the lobby was dozing off when he was frightened by the sudden loud noise. He stood up hastily, his face full of shock and confusion.
Luo Xiangxue was already a bit drunk. When she was surprised, the alcohol dissipated immediately and she became extremely sober. She murmured: "What happened upstairs?"
Zhao Qingzhu glanced at the bright side room and said calmly: "Don't worry, I'll go up and have a look." He got up and walked slowly upstairs along the wooden ladder. Luo Xiangxue felt uneasy, thinking that the master and apprentice were arguing without saying anything. She also wanted to find out what happened, so she went upstairs with Zhao Qingzhu.
As soon as the two people arrived in front of the door, lights came on in the adjacent wing. Xu Feng and Lei Zhentian were also awakened and hurriedly got up and came over to take a look. Just as Zhao Qingzhu was about to reach out and knock on the door, Luo Xiangxue suddenly said: "Brother Zhao, I'd better do it!" She then whispered inside and asked, "Brother Liu, what's wrong with you? What happened?"
Liu Ruyan recognized Luo Xiangxue's voice and replied: "Xiangmei, nothing's wrong! It's getting late, everyone should go and have a rest!"
Luo Xiangxue frowned, put her ear close to the door, and asked, "Brother Liu, open the door!"
