Why! Look at your skills, aren’t you the same? Why can you do it and I can’t?”
"First think about how to survive alone." Bai Ya said with a stern face, "Do you know what a killer means? My mother just went out for the last mission. My father had promised them that it would be the last time...
…”
"Zuojinmen?" Liu Shenghan asked tentatively.
"Yeah." 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 when Caijun Aoyan sighed with emotion just now, he suddenly became a little angry, probably because he thought of this. Aoyan understood now and stopped caring about it. Bai Ya crossed his legs and adjusted his sitting posture.
He held up his face and continued:
"The Zuojinmen are trustworthy... most of the time, to their employers and internally, 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.
Own
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 show his stance, he actually cut them off in front of them.
cut his own arm. Meaning
, he returned the guy he had been eating for many years. The group of people asked them to go on one last mission - without one arm. He agreed. At that time, he, my mother, and his best friend Shui Wu
Jundu knows very well that Zuojinmen is in
It was difficult for him, but there was no way. Shui Wujun took the good sword that had been with him for many years and attached it to his body. After a few months, when the agreed time came, the task was successfully completed...
I didn’t expect them to fire arrows.”
"How shameless!"
Before Qi Huan expressed his position, Mingming had already cursed him out. On the other hand, Bai Ya was not that cynical. He took a deep breath and continued:
"My mother died... They thought that my father was given an iron arm as a trick and a scheming move. 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 signs? It’s natural to take her life back, because she was brought up by Zuo Renmen since she was a child.”
"Don't they have any feelings at all?" Jun Aoyan felt incredible.
"No. There are many children like this out there. They kidnap the babies left behind by killing them, or they pick up unwanted children from somewhere - it's not difficult to find. 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 it."
"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 should be eliminated. Being born weak is the original sin. It's better to suffer less from the sufferings of the world. Anyway, they have no shortage of children. Sometimes if there is no order to kill people, they will
Capture the wife and children, and now you 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 they even kept away from ghosts and gods. Who would have thought that there were such shameful and scandalous things in there? It's disgusting, it's 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 Zuojin 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 below are surprisingly unified. Some people even suggested that we no longer recruit idle people from the Jianghu, but
Kidnapping children from childhood, or simply seizing women for rebirth, turned them into a team of tools with strict discipline and no emotions like the army. However, some people objected, and this matter was lost. The objections were not good birds, but because the cost was too high
It’s too high, it takes too long, and it’s easy to monopolize power… These are what my dad 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 weird smile, with a kind of superior mockery. The gloom from the inside out spread from that peaceful face, and the charming and dangerous aura was like a flower with thorns. Not only did it have thorns, but also
It's poisonous, and the pain won't end so easily after the bold and tempting person leaves.
"Sheng, Shenghan..." Jun Aoyan smiled awkwardly, "What happened to you suddenly?"
"Because it's interesting."
"interesting?"
Aoyan was confused and puzzled. Liu Shenghan should not be a villain. Everything she had experienced denied this possibility. But why did she show an inhuman indifference and inexplicable indifference at this time?
Vicious? She didn't know. 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 body. Some trees
It was dead, dried out, and eaten until all that was left was
A wooden pile is covered with moss and fungi. If you dig deep, you will find that the roots are extremely dense and vigorous, and even involve all the surrounding vegetation. If you are not careful, not only will the hoe not be clean, but the roots of the good tree will also be destroyed.
You will also lose your life. Tell me, isn't this funny?"
A string of sinister smiles came from Liu Shenghan's thin lips, which made people feel chilled. She used to be more restrained, but now she no longer bothers with that useless disguise. After all, her friends have almost left.
I won't leave her alone. Fortunately, her "malice" is quite broad. It is never directed at any individual or group, but at the entire ethnic group in a broad sense, whether human beings or ghosts. There are very few such people, and most of the time
Those who stay calm and can be effective are often this kind of people.
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.
"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. Your Majesty.
Is it ridiculous that a concubine in the house was peeked at while taking a bath, and the guards dared to blame it on my father? He is an excuse for evil people to kill people, and it is also a reason for fools to fail in handling cases. In fact, he rarely shows up in front of people, and only buys things.
I'll go, after all, his arms are too eye-catching."
Jun Aoyan actually put down the bowl, put her hands in front of Bai Ya, and kowtowed fiercely. This was so sudden that everyone was stunned. Even Bai Ya didn't know what was causing the sudden trouble.
"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."
"You're not the first to feel this way? You won't be the last either."
"But I should apologize." She hunched over, her forehead never leaving the ground. "Along the way, I kept telling myself that fathers have made mistakes and should not look at their children with prejudice. Although I think I do
I arrived, but I never thought that even this serious crime was unfounded. I actually used a non-existent thing as a consideration. Please forgive me."
Qi Huan clasped his hands, arched Bai Ya with his shoulders, and whispered: "Old Bai, just forgive her and let her feel at peace. After all, there is one less person who misunderstands your father in the world, right?
?”
Bai Ya shut up and said nothing. The room was quiet for a while, and 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 her head, feeling as if she was relieved. Bai Ya had never argued with anyone, so how could he forgive her? And after being together for so long, she was completely sure that Bai Ya was not that brave and unreasonable.
It has been a long time since Bai Ya teased her everywhere and forced her to be pushed to the side of the rich and powerful that she didn't like, and she couldn't get off the stage.
"Then should I also apologize to you?"
"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 washing of the pots and dishes to others. Jun Aoyan was speechless for a moment, stood up, and said hurriedly.
excuse:
"I was joking then! I, can't I thank you now? Hey, don't leave, I -"
"You're welcome." Qi Huan said suddenly, "I collected it for him. It's nothing, this is what we should do."
"Roll, roll, roll."
"You - what's wrong, am I not worthy?"
A group of people quarreled and went upstairs. Liu Shenghan looked at the mess in front of her and smiled helplessly. She slowly cleaned up. Just then, Xue Mo came back from outside.
"Have you eaten yet?"
"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 tell that he was a kind person and didn't want them to cause any trouble here. She seemed to remember something and asked Xue Mo for two books.
The books are all written in the language of Jiutian Kingdom. There are no special teaching books here, only simple reading materials. Xue Mo said that some places have been annotated with the characters preserved in the past, which should be understandable. It is more suitable to use it to familiarize yourself with the language.
.Liu Shenghan thanked him.
When it was time to go to bed, she came upstairs with her books, where everyone had already laid out their mattresses. There was only a partition dividing the room into two large areas, and the other area was filled with miscellaneous items.
Jun Aoyan held two candles in his hands and hesitated.
"Suddenly I remembered the gift from the God of Incense." She explained, "I wanted 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 oil and wax with some essential oils added. I have researched it and they are 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 chipped. I really don't know when she checked it without knowing it. But since Shenghan said so, she felt relieved. She took it
Picking up the lighting wax that was about to burn out, she lit the one with her name engraved on it first. She then said to Bai Ya, who was already lying down:
"Should I order yours too? I'm afraid Shenghan won't have enough light to read."
"Whatever you want."
"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 that 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, making it clear that he didn't want to talk to anyone anymore. Mingming lay down contentedly, and soon fell asleep. She was a child after all. Although Bai Ya had his back to them, he kept his eyes open.
In the air, two different scents of fragrant wax intertwined, making people feel indescribably calm. Finally, everyone fell asleep one after another, even Bai Ya was no exception.
The night was very quiet. Only Liu Shenghan's fingertips occasionally turned the pages of the book and made a soft sound.
