Hearing Yun Jing's question, the old man at the tea stall thought for a moment and shook his head and said: "Young master, please forgive me, I am not from the world of martial arts. I have never heard of a heroine named Jiang Xiaoxi."
Regarding this answer, Jiang Susu, who was listening attentively, was inevitably a little disappointed. Not surprisingly, Jiang Xiaoxi was probably her only relative in the world. She thought that she would be able to learn about her relatives as soon as she came here, but unfortunately she failed to do so.
Yunjing also understood that after all, ordinary people and those in the world were in two different circles. Ordinary people often lived a difficult life and had no time to inquire about things in the world.
"Mom, it's okay, we'll just find another way to find out," Yunjing comforted his mother.
At this time, a tea guest on the side suddenly said: "Do you want to ask about Jiang Nuxia?"
The other party was in his thirties, dressed in gray clothes and holding an eyebrow-length stick in his hand, looking like a man from the world.
Yunjing turned around and cupped his hands and said, "It's not really about asking, I just want to know. Does this uncle know about Jiang Nuxia?"
"I know a little, but not much. I would like to ask, what is your relationship with her?" the other party said in return.
Smiling, Yun Jing said: "We can't talk about any relationship. It's just that we came from a distance and heard that Jiang Nuxia is known as a chivalrous person, so I was curious to ask about it. If uncle knew about it, could he tell us about it?
?”
It's always good to be careful when you go out. Yunjing will not stupidly tell strangers the real situation. Who knows what the other person is thinking about. If the other person has a problem with Jiang Xiaoxi, he says that he is her relative.
, isn’t this causing trouble for yourself?
The other party nodded and said: "That's it. When it comes to this Jiang Nuxia, I actually don't know much. I am also a member of the Jianghu. I know a few things from hearsay. Since you want to hear it, then I will tell you.
, it’s okay anyway.”
After a pause, he continued: "As far as I know about Jiang Nuxia, she was born as a farmer's daughter in her early years. That is, more than ten years ago, the gang of bandits in the north of the city massacred the village, and all her relatives were killed.
Losing her life can be said to be carrying a blood feud, and she had to make a living alone. Fortunately, it didn't take long for her to live a wandering life. She met her husband, a knight in the world. Her husband loved her in every possible way. When he learned that she was carrying a blood feud,
Not only did he take the initiative to help her find a way to get revenge, but he also taught her martial arts. Unfortunately, that group of thieves was so powerful that her husband couldn't do anything about it... Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. After a few years, the group of thieves were nowhere to be found.
After learning that they were planning to take revenge, she took the initiative to come to her house and had a fight. In order to protect her, her husband left and died tragically at the hands of the thieves. Jiang Nuxia once again managed to escape with her life, and she was burdened with another blood feud. From then on,
She practiced martial arts hard and devoted herself to revenge, specifically targeting that group of thieves. Over the years, many thieves died at her hands, and she herself was injured many times. This is how her chivalrous name came about, and countless righteous people admired her greatly.
, just last month, she went to seek revenge on those thieves again, but her skills were inferior to others, and she was injured and escaped. Now she doesn't know where she is recovering from her injuries. I only know so much."
After saying that, the other party also looked sad.
After hearing this, Yun Jingxin said that it was almost correct. There was no doubt that Jiang Xiaoxi was his mother's cousin. After all, everything happened more than ten years ago.
But in comparison, the experience of my aunt was much bleak. She met a husband who loved her, but his husband died within a few years of her good life.
But Yunjing also admires her aunt very much. She knows she is outmatched, but she is determined to take revenge, time and time again, without giving up. Such courage is something that not many people can possess. She can be described as extremely strong.
I don’t know whether I should say she is lucky or unlucky. She took the initiative time and time again and was injured time and time again. She did not die under the enemy’s knife. She had to endure the pain and the torture of hatred on her soul. She is not crazy. She is really pitiful.
Already.
After thinking for a while, Yun Jing asked again: "Uncle, since Lady Jiang is already married, can she have children? If she has children, I guess she won't be so obsessed with revenge, right?"
"Young master, what you said makes sense, but unfortunately, Jiang Nuxia has no children. There are rumors that she bears a blood feud and almost lost her life practicing martial arts. As a result, she injured her body and was unable to have children. She always felt very guilty towards her husband in her heart.
Alas, God was too cruel to her," the other party shook her head and sighed.
Same people but different fates. After hearing this, Jiang Susu's eyes turned red and she lowered her head to wipe her tears. Compared with what happened to her cousin Jiang Xiaoxi, her life was not unsatisfactory and happy.
In Jiang Susu's heart, as a commoner, she has never considered revenge. It's not that she doesn't want to, but that she can't do it, and she doesn't dare to think about it. God has given her the life she has now, and she is already very satisfied.
How could she let the hatred from many years ago ruin her peaceful and happy days? She didn't even want to mention that past event.
The dead are gone, but the living are like this, and people should live in the present...
After chatting for a while, Yunjing and the others paid for the tea and left, continuing to Fengyang County.
On the way, after struggling in her heart, Jiang Susu said to Yunjing: "Xiaojing, it's too dangerous over there. Why don't we rest in the county town for one night and go back tomorrow? After so many years, our home has long been gone, and it will only increase our lives if we go there."
sad"
She didn't want to go back 'home' to take a look, but she didn't want to put her family in danger just because of her little wish. As a wife and a mother, she couldn't be so selfish.
Yunjing comforted: "Mom, don't think too much. Maybe the situation is not that bad. It's a rare trip. Let's think of a way and try our best to go back and have a look. But don't worry, mom. If it doesn't work, we can
Don’t force it, safety is the most important thing, but if you do that, mother, you may have to go back with regrets.”
Just like Jiang Susu, Yunjing did not want to put his family in danger, even if this trip was in vain.
Life is very fragile, but life is very long. If you don't get what you want this time, there will be a long time to come. At worst, if you try again next time, your wish will always come true.
Of course, this is just the worst plan. It’s a rare trip, so how can Yunjing be willing to ‘return empty-handed’.
Bringing mother 'home' is the main purpose of this visit. The enemies from the past are actually still there, and they are getting stronger now. If they can avenge themselves by the way, that will be the icing on the cake.
Under the premise of ensuring safety, how could Yunjing not think of a way to give it a try? Everything should be planned before taking action. No matter what, you still need to understand the situation first.
"Xiao Jing, you must never do anything stupid, you know?" Jiang Susu said worriedly.
She knew her son better than her mother. Her son had been sensible and decisive since he was a child. Mother and son were close to each other. She had a vague feeling that Yun Jing would not give up so easily.
Yun Jing smiled and said: "Mom, don't worry, I won't mess around. Don't you understand me yet?"
"Well, actually, Mom regrets coming back..." Jiang Susu said in a complicated tone.
Not talking about this, Yunjing picked up and said happily: "Mom, after we enter the city, we will find a place to settle down first, and then we will inquire about the whereabouts of my aunt. I have never seen her before. Can you tell me who she is?
What kind of person is he?"
When talking about her relatives, Jiang Susu talked more. She said: "She, I can't even remember her. Back then, your aunt was a very strong person and refused to admit defeat. When she was a child, she was even better at cutting pig grass."
Others are happy when they cut more, but she is very kind to people. Once when we went to cut pigweed, the people from the next village bullied me, and she beat away several children by herself. At that time, she was slightly injured.
Instead, she came to comfort me to see if anything was okay... After all these years, I don’t know what she has become..."
Listening to his mother's memories of the past, Yunjing and his party also came to Fengyang County.
The situation here is similar to that of Xinlin County. The low and dilapidated city walls look like a dying old man telling the story of the years under the sun. There are not many high-rise buildings in the county, and low-rise buildings stretch over a large area.
When they entered the city, Yunjing and the others were interrogated by soldiers. They had experienced this journey several times, so they were familiar with it.
Relatively speaking, Fengyang County probably had stricter inspections when entering the city because of the group of gangsters in the north. However, Yunjing was a scholar with a good reputation after all, and the procedures such as showing his student status and applying for a residence registration were complete, so he was not troubled and went smoothly.
Enter the city.
For Yunshan and others who have never traveled far, every time they arrive in a new place, they feel at a loss and don't know where to go. Fortunately, with Yunjing's arrangement, they don't have to worry about such trivial matters as how to settle.
The more this happened, the more useless Yunshan felt. After all, he was the elder and could not protect his child from wind and rain. This made him feel a little empty, but he was also very relieved that his child had grown up and became a father.
, also have a happy day...
After entering the city, Yunjing did not dare to take his mother back to Xiaolin Village rashly because he did not understand the specific situation. He would rather spend more time inquiring about the news. Therefore, under his arrangement, the group found a large inn with a good reputation, which was not far from the county government office.
It is far away, and the safety is guaranteed. I spent some money and rented a separate small courtyard to settle down. I rented it temporarily for three days. I could leave early or renew the lease, but it was a matter of refund or compensation.
In a strange place, Yunjing would rather spend more money to ensure safety first.
After settling down, Yunjing reassured his mother that he would try his best to take her back safely to fulfill her dream of returning home, and just wait with peace of mind.
Then he started a series of arrangements, asking Liu Song and Wanfang, the two guards of the Master's family, to inquire about Jiang Xiaoxi's whereabouts and the specific situation of the gang, and asked Liu Dazhuang to understand the situation in Fengyang County.
The rest stayed in the small courtyard to protect the safety of their families.
After making arrangements for them, Yunjing himself went to a teahouse not far from his residence.
Going to the tea house is not far away. If anything happens to his family, he can rush back as soon as possible. He is not here to enjoy it, because the county government is not far away. Yunjing has to read the local chronicles and files, and it is necessary to learn more about the events of that year.
Condition.
In a word, the more comprehensive the information from all aspects, the better he can make a complete plan to bring his mother home safely and, if possible, eliminate the gangsters...
