I dragged my scarred body back home. My uncle was reading the newspaper on the sofa. My aunt was cooking in the kitchen. My uncle looked up at me with his reading glasses.
"Mingxuan, are you fighting with someone again?"
"Um"
"Been beaten by Fatty again?"
"Um"
"Or Zheng Yang?"
"Yeah" I replied three times in a row, with a look of reluctance to communicate with my uncle. My uncle sighed and shook his head without saying anything. After a while, my aunt came out of the kitchen with the fried dishes and saw me full of joy. With blood stains all over his body, he put the dishes on the table and ran over, looking left and right.
"Xiaoxuan, are you injured? Who hurt you? Auntie is going to avenge you." I showed a smile that was uglier than crying. Thank you auntie, but I am very tired now, so I stopped eating and went back to the house to sleep. , so I walked straight to the bedroom, ignoring my aunt's concerned greetings, and lay on the warm big bed, my thoughts drifting thousands of miles away... Since my parents passed away, I have been living with my uncle and aunt, although they have been with me since I was born. I started to raise me, but I always knew in my heart that these were not my parents. According to my uncle, my Zhuo family was once a famous martial arts family and trained many martial arts masters. They were real masters, not martial arts stars. As the family The prestige of the family is getting higher and higher, and more and more people are jealous. Finally, a famous family, the Dugu family, joins forces with other large and small families to destroy our Zhuo family, but together they are still unable to defeat our Zhuo family. Family, because our Zhuo family’s martial arts are so powerful and have many disciples, the Dugu family united with other families to jointly raise funds and bribe a core member of the Zhuo family to poison their meals.
On the night of the poisoning, the United Family launched a general attack. My father and mother were defeated by the poison, and my mother was about to give birth. Just when the enemy came to attack, she gave birth to me. As soon as I landed, my mother pulled the umbilical cord. Break off, and then fight with the enemy. However, today's society is a society of money. As long as there is enough money, father and son can turn against each other. The Zhuo family has been bribed too much by the enemy. Although the parents are highly skilled, they are outnumbered, so they have to let their uncle My aunt hugged me and ran away first. They dragged a large number of enemies by themselves, allowing us to escape by chance. However, the days that followed were not easy. My uncle and aunt took me to live a life of hiding and darkness. My uncle hid in She works as a martial arts instructor in a boxing gym, and because her aunt is proficient in Qigong and has strong cell activation, although she is already in her early 40s, she still looks like she is in her late twenties. She hides in a gym and works as a fitness instructor.
It wasn't until I was 7 years old that they saved enough money to buy the current 120-square-meter house. Duguxue and I were in the same school and class from elementary school to university, so our relationship is very good. I also knew that Duguxue liked me. I once thought that Duguxue liked me because of our relationship when we were young. But it wasn't until I entered college that I gradually understood that Duguxue's feelings for me were not just a simple friendship. , but it is undeniable that she always gives people a feeling of spring breeze, very warm. It would be false to say that I don't like her, but when I say I like her, I mean the kind of like that is like a close friend.
However, I am also very confused. I don’t know if Duguxue is related to the Dugu family back then. From elementary school to now, I have never really seen through her. Even her family background is just that of an ordinary businessman. Although I once asked her some indirect questions about the Dugu family back then, she just ignored it and passed by.
So I often comfort myself
"Although there are not many people with the surname Dugu in the world, there are also quite a few. It can't be such a coincidence." Suddenly, a thought outside brought me back from my thoughts. I tiptoed to the door and opened the bedroom door by a gap. Because my uncle and aunt's bedroom is next to mine, I can still hear them if I open the door a little bit.
"Honey, Mingxuan was beaten again today because of Duguyue. Xiaoxuan is a smart kid, so it's not a big deal for him to be bullied all the time. What if his head is damaged and becomes dementia? What will happen to us after we die and go to the underworld? Facing big brother and big sister? Or should we teach him how to defend himself?" The uncle lowered his head and thought for a moment before raising his head and said
"Don't forget how my eldest brother and eldest sister died. It was because their martial arts were so powerful that they were killed. You and I have never shown martial arts in front of Mingxuan. Mingxuan is a martial artist just like his father. A genius, if he pursues the path of martial arts, he will definitely achieve something. But when we bought this house, we swore to the souls of our eldest brother and sister-in-law that we would only let Mingxuan be an ordinary person in this life. Have you forgotten this? "?" Auntie said while crying.
"I have not forgotten, how could I forget? I will never forget the scene when my elder brother and sister-in-law entrusted Xiaoxuan to me before they died. However, because of my physical condition, I cannot get pregnant and have my own baby, and I have already I treat Mingxuan as my own child, and he is one of the most important people in my life. Every time I see him with scars from being beaten because of Duguxue, my heart aches." Then they recalled the Zhuo family What they didn’t know was that I already knew the truth about all this... At this time, my uncle and aunt suddenly became silent. I was feeling strange when I heard my uncle’s voice.
"It doesn't matter, life and death are determined by fate and wealth. The bloodline of the Zhuo family cannot be cut off in our hands. Starting tomorrow, we will conduct a month-long special training for him. How much he can understand depends on his understanding and nature." After that, Their bedroom light went out.
I clenched my fists hard, turned around and went back to the room, lifted the bed with all my strength, and then let go of my hand. At this time, the bed was not affected by gravity and fell directly with a loud noise. Instead, it was hit by a thick The iron rods supported it, and then I moved one of the wooden boards away, and it turned out to be a staircase going down.
This secret room was accidentally discovered during my senior year in high school, and the truth about the Zhuo family's destruction is hidden in the files under the secret room. There are many books in it, recording the rise and fall of the Zhuo family.
There are also some martial arts secrets, but I haven’t come into contact with them yet. After reading them for a long time, I only had a partial understanding of them.
Although I have been pursuing the truth behind the destruction of the Zhuo family, I believe that as long as I investigate with my heart, the truth will come to light one day. Thinking of this, I closed the secret room and went back to bed to sleep.
