"Why do you hate me so much?"
This simple sentence made Li Guanshui stunned at that time.
This seems like a very unnecessary question.
But when he thought about it seriously, he suddenly felt that there was something about this question that made it difficult for him to answer.
Tsukimi actually treated him well.
He was born in a remote town in Muzhou. When he was ten years old, there was a famine in his family and both his parents died.
In order to survive, he sold himself to a wealthy family, thinking of his duty as a slave. If he was liked by his master, he might be able to redeem his slave status and live a normal life.
But he didn't expect that the master's family was not a kind person and trained him as a dead soldier.
He had worked hard for his master's family for many years and had done many shameful things.
However, because of the Dongchuang incident, his master decided to let him take the blame. He was unwilling to take advantage of his master's unpreparedness and fled to Taixuan Mountain.
In the process of being chased, he suffered considerable injuries, but was met by Yue Jian, brought back to Gosying Village, and rescued.
At first, he was grateful to Yue Jian, and even admired this girl who was nearly ten years younger than him.
He tried his best to help Yue Jian and Gosying Village.
But he soon discovered that Yue Jian's kindness was not just for him, she was willing to help everyone she could.
She is kind to everyone, but she is far away from everyone. She can be seen but cannot be touched.
After realizing that he was not the special one, Li Guanshui gradually became dissatisfied with everything in Gosying Village.
He has cultivation skills, and every time he goes down the mountain to rob goods, he can bring back the most goods, but he gets very few of them. He has obviously earned enough money to live happily for several years, but he still Because the old, weak, sick and disabled in the village cannot make ends meet!
He was very unwilling to do this, and there were also many people in the village who had this idea.
After complaining several times but getting no response from Yue Jian, someone tried to use violence to change the rules of the village.
Although Li Guanshui did not participate, he secretly hoped that they could succeed.
Unfortunately, that group was defeated by Tsukimi, and the village fell apart.
A large number of people who were dissatisfied with the status quo left, and Li Guanshui was one of them.
To put it into detail, from the time he came to the village to the time he left the village, for more than a year, Yue Jian never repaid him with any favors, never asked for anything, and even told him all the time that as long as he wanted, he would be there for him at any time. You can leave.
He seemed to have no reason to hate Yue Jian and Goshawk Village.
…
"I treat you well, and I didn't stop you when you wanted to leave, but why did you have to put Goshawk Village to death?" Yue Jian's voice sounded again, and the confusion on her eyebrows became more and more obvious. Rich.
"I do not understand."
Li Guanshui looked at the girl's confused look, and his heart felt inexplicably tingling.
Of course it's not because of distress, let alone guilt.
It was the girl's confusion that made him feel so miserable.
He hated feeling like this.
And this is the reason why he hates Goshawk Village and thinks about its destruction all the time.
The scariest people in the world are never selfish people.
Self-interested people only care about their own gains and losses. They will benefit themselves at the expense of others, but they will never act simply to harm others.
The most terrifying thing in the world are those who have a little sense of shame, but are unwilling to pay for such shame.
Li Guanshui is such a person.
He knew very well that Goshawk Village and Yue Jian were kind to him, and he also understood that as a human being, he should repay his kindness.
But the burden of repaying his kindness was unbearable for him.
If he wants to leave, he needs a reason to comfort himself - for example, Goshawk Village, which operates like this, cannot exist for a long time in a place like Taixuan Mountain.
His departure was not because he had no conscience, but because instead of waiting to die together with everyone, it was better for him to find a way to survive on his own.
But there is always a problem with this reason.
That means Goshawk Village is still alive.
Every day that it exists, it reminds Li Guanshui repeatedly that your escape is not out of helplessness, but that you are just an ungrateful villain.
Only when Goshawk Village is destroyed can he prove that he is right.
Maybe he would even lend a helping hand to the lonely survivors when Goshawk Village was destroyed, and then say with regret: "Look, I knew what would happen a long time ago, but it's a pity that you didn't listen to me."
How confident and confident.
The scary thing about people like him is that he has a sense of shame that something is better than nothing, and he often needs to pay for it with the suffering of others.
Moreover, in order to achieve such a goal, he will continue to secretly add fuel to the flames and enjoy it endlessly.
And what's even scarier is.
People like him are often the majority in this world.
…
"Of course you won't understand!"
"You live aloof and always think everyone should be like you!"
"But in a place like Taixuan Mountain, Goshawk Village shouldn't exist at all!"
"This will happen sooner or later. Rather than letting others teach you this truth, it's better to let me do it!"
Li Guanshui said with a face full of resentment, then turned around angrily and left quickly with a large group of his men.
Yue Jian stared blankly at Li Guanshui's leaving figure, she still couldn't understand what he said.
Chu Qingxiao, who was standing next to her, silently watched Li Guanshui's leaving figure. Until the other group of people completely disappeared from his eyes, he looked at the girl next to him and said softly: "Let's go."
Yue Jian lowered his head and followed Chu Qingxiao silently.
She looked depressed.
Chu Qingxiao could also see it, but he did not offer any words of comfort. He just led the girl to the stable where the black horse named Xuan Yue was placed.
He took out the little money he had left to pay for the fodder, then pulled the reins and walked out of the stable.
The girl kept her head lowered during the whole process.
Chu Qingxiao still had no intention of comforting her. He just held the girl with one hand and the reins with the other, walked to an alley in the street, and then stopped.
I don’t know if I noticed that there were not so many pedestrians around, or if the grievances accumulated in my heart finally reached a certain critical point.
Tsukimi's shoulders began to twitch, and there was a slight choking in his mouth.
It was the look of someone who wanted to cry, but was trying hard to suppress the cry.
Chu Qingxiao was very familiar with this feeling.
Although it was a bit abrupt, Chu Qingxiao still reached out his hand at this time and took the girl into his arms. He hugged her tightly and whispered: "I have a friend who once told me."
"When you encounter something sad, have a good cry. Only after crying will you feel less sad."
The girl who was held in his arms trembled. She instinctively wanted to break away, but Chu Qingxiao's words made her stunned.
She opened her mouth, and the sobs swirled in her throat, but she still couldn't cry.
She just lay in Chu Qingxiao's arms and kept choking. For her, this was probably a way to vent her emotions.
Chu Qingxiao didn't urge her, but just stayed with her quietly.
After a while, the sobs in Yue Jian's mouth gradually became quieter, and she said with a cry that had not yet dissipated.
"That's what my father left for me..."
These words were obviously a little abrupt, and Chu Qingxiao was a little confused.
He frowned, but he reacted the next moment, with a look of surprise on his face: "You mean that martial soul seal..."
The girl lying on his chest nodded and said, "That's the only thing my father left for me."
Chu Qingxiao was suddenly surprised: "Then why did you kill him..."
Yue Jian did not answer his question, but continued to speak with a slight cry: "I was only six years old at that time."
"My father suddenly told me that he was going on a long trip..."
"He is like this all the time. Once he leaves, there will be no news for several months. I have long been used to it."
"But that time, there was something different. Before he left, he gave him a jade pendant, which was the martial soul seal."
"Now that I think about it, he didn't hesitate to leave this thing to me even though he wasted his cultivation. I'm afraid he himself knows that this time, once he leaves, he won't be able to come back."
"It's just that I was still young at the time and didn't understand this. I thought he would suddenly appear one day a few months later just like before, hugging me smelling of sweat, and pricking me with his beard. Face……"
"I still remember that before he left, he said that next time he comes back, he will teach me arithmetic, and he must let me figure out what three plus three equals."
"I took it seriously and kept waiting for him to come back and teach me how to count. If someone else taught me how to count, I would keep crying and tell him that this is what my father wanted to teach me. They don't need to teach me, they just use it. I had no choice but to adapt, and now, sometimes I can’t even figure out what three plus three equals…”
Yue Jian said this, and her emotions seemed to have calmed down a lot. She stood up from Chu Qingxiao's arms and continued to speak.
"Then something happened to the clan."
"I don't understand what happened, but there are many people who want to kill us. The adults in the tribe protected us and hid in Tibet. Many of us were separated. We have been running away like this for several years. The tribe members along the way After death and separation, only Grandpa Xu and I are left, depending on each other."
"We couldn't escape all the way. I heard from the dead tribesmen that my father went to Muzhou back then. Although I also know that he has not come back after so many years. He probably did not survive, otherwise he would not have come to look for him. Mine, but I still thought about what if he was delayed by something, what if I met him on the road..."
"So we kept going the hard way."
"Even if I can't find him, even if he is dead, at least I want to find his sword..."
"In our place, after a person dies, the sword has to return to his hometown so that his soul can rest in peace. I don't want him to be a lonely ghost."
"We went all the way south, but those who wanted to kill us kept biting us. Later, Grandpa Xu was seriously injured to protect me. We fled to Taixuan Mountain, where we met Wu Mother-in-law, Grandpa Xu decided to settle here. I knew he was old and couldn't escape, so I stayed here with him."
"At first, there were only a few dozen people in Goshawk Village, but from time to time, people would escape here. When I saw them, I couldn't help but think of those clan members who died on the road. I wanted to do my best to save them, but it wasn't because How kind I am, just because I want to hide my regret for not saving those dead tribesmen."
"Actually, this is really hard..."
Having said this, Yue Jian paused, and the crying that had just stopped started to spread a little more.
"I'm really stupid."
"Uncle Xu poured his sword power into me before he died, pulling my cultivation from one realm to the fourth. He wanted me to protect Grandpa Xu, and he wanted me to practice hard and one day rectify the injustices of my clan."
"But after so many years, I'm still stagnant in the four realms. Whether it's martial arts or realm, I'm stagnant."
"I didn't do everything my uncle asked me to do before he died. I didn't dare to use the martial soul seal my father left for me. If I can't reach the Nine Realms, I will never be able to take revenge, even if I know that I will never be able to take revenge. I can't reach the Nine Realms, but I can't stop..."
"Grandpa Xu is getting older. I don't want him to work so hard anymore. He is already injured. If we take action again, he really won't be able to survive..."
"I thought that I would buy the Martial Spirit Seal to let Cangying Village live a peaceful life for a few days, so that he can live more comfortably in his last days..."
"But I don't understand..."
"Why even though this is the case, even if I no longer think about revenge, even if I don't think about whether I can see my father again, they still don't want to make it easy for us..."
"Obviously I saved him, why would he do this to me..."
The more Yue Jian spoke, the more aggrieved she became, and the more she spoke, the more sad she became. No matter how strong she pretended to be, she was only eighteen years old after all.
Her accumulated grievances and fears all poured out at this moment. The words she spoke may not be logical, but they were the truest thoughts in her heart at this moment.
But the boy who was supposed to listen to her was unusually silent.
To be precise, when she talked about her father, the boy was unusually silent.
She noticed something strange and raised her head to look at the boy.
But he saw the other party staring directly at him.
It was a very strange look.
Wrapped in surprise and surprise.
Heartbroken and upset.
It was extremely complex, but it inexplicably made Yue Jian's heart tremble.
The next moment, the young man suddenly stretched out his hand and hugged her into his arms again.
What was different from the previous one was that this time, he hugged her very hard, as if he was afraid of losing her.
This is a very abrupt move.
Yue Jian instinctively wanted to break away.
But then, the boy's voice sounded in her ears.
"do not be sad."
"From now on……"
"I will accompany you."
"As long as I am alive, no one can make you suffer any more injustice."
"I promise."
His voice was very soft, yet inexplicably firm.
It was a tenderness that Tsukimi had never felt before.
Her body softened, and she unconsciously indulged in the tenderness, and slowly lowered her struggling hand.
"And now."
"We have to let that bastard who bullied you know what regret means first!"
Yue Jian was stunned when she heard the words. She raised her head and looked at Chu Qingxiao, only to see that there were layers of murderous intent in Chu Qingxiao's eyes, staring fiercely in the direction of the gate of Night Python City ahead.
And there, Li Guanshui and his party were escorting dozens of slaves, getting on their horses and slowly walking out of Night Python City...
