storyteller

Qiu Xinsu had always slept lightly, but when she woke up the next day, she found that there was nothing around her, and Qiu Lingfu was no longer by her side.

She reached out to touch the dry grass. Her hand was cold, and the grass was cold.

Qiu Lingfu had already left.

There was a coldness in her eyes, and she was about to get up with the sword, but a ray of sunlight broke through the ground.

Qiu Lingfu stood at the door, holding a pot of tea and two cups.

Seeing Qiu Xinsu's action, Qiu Lingfu suddenly smiled: "Mother, you only found me when I was at the door."

Qiu Xinsu looked indifferent, and said: "I have regressed a lot in the past fifteen days."

Qiu Xinsu should be able to detect the approaching enemy from a distance, and kill him before that person arrives.

Qiu Lingfu closed the door, hurried to Qiu Xinsu, and poured two cups of tea: "Mother, we'll wait here for Ah Po, and when Ah Po gets the antidote, we'll find another place to live, Xiaoshi is gone. , you can let Ah Po accompany us."

Qiu Xinsu didn't know if she heard about Xiaoshi from Xu Bichuan, but she just nodded lightly.

But when Qiu Lingfu talked about Xiaoshi, his words choked up.He lowered his eyes, he didn't want to see his mother's expression, and he didn't want her to see his own expression.

"Mother, you won't leave again, will you?" His tone tried to be as calm and calm as hers.

Qiu Xinsu held the tea, thought for a long time, then nodded.

After drinking the tea, Qiu Lingfu felt his throat feel better, and asked again, "Mother, how did you adopt Xiaoshi?"

Qiu Xinsu said: "He wants to adopt."

Qiu Lingfu nodded, he understood.

Qiu Xinsu didn't question how Ah Po could use the antidote, and she was really willing to stay here with Qiu Lingfu.

Qiu Lingfu was elated, talking about a group of beggars living in this back alley, and he asked them for this tea, and how he got to know Ah Po from the beggars, how he hated people before, and how he hates people now hate.Ah Po has never been as good as he wants, so I don't like him at all.

The following words never left Ah Po again.He also talked about the delicacies along the way, the sunset glow on Chongyun Mountain, and the snow-covered snow in Baixueling.There is Ah Po in every sentence of his, just like he was thinking of Qiu Xinsu all the time along the way.

"Mother, how did you spend this year?" Qiu Lingfu just asked, then hurriedly said, "It's fine if you don't want to talk about it."

Qiu Xinsu just looked at him silently: "You have changed."

After hearing this, Qiu Lingfu could only think of endless grievances, but he resisted the idea of ​​hugging Qiu Xinsu, and smiled with red eyes: "Mother hasn't changed."

Qiu Xinsu's eyes fell into Qiu Lingfu's hands again, and she saw that he had just gone out and bought some snacks. She didn't ask him where he got the money, but said: "I heard about the incident on Baixue Ridge, you'd better not go out again .”

Seeing that she cared about him, Qiu Lingfu happily took out the hot corn that he just bought: "This one is delicious with sauce."

Qiu Xinsu took over the half-baked corn: "Do you usually eat these?"

Qiu Lingfu said strangely: "These are much more delicious than food."

Qiu Xinsu gave enough money since he was a child, and Qiu Xiaoshi is soft-hearted. Qiu Lingfu likes to patronize snacks on the street on weekdays.

He had beautiful amber eyes, his face was covered in mud, and the sides of his mouth were messed up.

Qiu Xinsu looked into his eyes: "You are 17 years old."

Qiu Lingfu didn't know what she was looking at, so he just stopped chewing and asked her to take a good look.

Qiu Xinsu said softly again: "It's been 17 years."

Qiu Lingfu didn't speak.

"It's been 17 years, and I don't know how to cook a dish." She was such a cold and clumsy person, and she had been a mother for 17 years.

Qiu Lingfu hurriedly said, "It's okay."

He didn't want to be weak in front of this person, he just hoped that she would stop talking, lest he couldn't help crying.

Qiu Xinsu looked at Qiu Lingfu eating with his head down, and took a long time to look away.

Qiu Xinsu stopped talking, and Qiu Lingfu didn't ask anymore.

It's very quiet here, and the other side of the city is very lively. It's a very suitable place for Qiu Xinsu to think, and it's also very suitable for Qiu Lingfu to enjoy.

Every day, the two of them would go for a walk on the street, and when Qiu Lingfu had collected food, they would come back here to drink and practice sword together.

Once Qiu Lingfu finally hit the corner of Qiu Xinsu's clothes, Qiu Xinsu actually showed a smile.

Qiu Xinsu said: "There is progress, but we still need to work hard."

Qiu Lingfu couldn't hide his joy: "It's Ah Po, he has been practicing with me for a long time."

He has only started to appreciate Ah Po's persecution until now, even though the daily hard training has saved him from the old man Xu.

"Ah Po?" She just remembered that she had never practiced sword with Qiu Lingfu for a long time, as long as she was not with her, Qiu Lingfu seldom practiced by himself.

Qiu Lingfu thought about this smile for a day, and the corners of his mouth were raised high all day.

But Qiu Xinsu heard a sniffling sound in the middle of the night, and she saw Qiu Lingfu turning his back in the distance, his shoulders trembling.

"Sleep?"

Qiu Lingfu didn't respond, but the sobbing became softer.

Qiu Lingfu carefully wiped away his tears. If Qiu Xinsu came over, he could at least use a dry face to pretend that the painted face was just like that.

Qiu Xinsu didn't come over.

After half an hour, he dared to lie on his back, facing the hole in the sky and looking at the moon in the sky.

This month, he didn't inquire about any news from Jianghu, and he also felt fulfilled and at ease.

This is the most beautiful moon he has ever seen in his life. In the moonlight, he thinks of all the happiest days in the past 17 years.

He didn't want to die, and he didn't want the poison that robbed him of happiness to take hold.

There are three more days and the moon is full again, he has already entrusted the boy from Ruyilou to pass on the news, but why hasn't Ah Po come to him.

On the second night, Qiu Xinsu disappeared.

Qiu Lingfu took a bath for himself and came back, looking at the empty room, the clothes and buckets in his hands were all on the ground.

He took the sword and went to her without even wiping the dirt off his face.

This place is Ziyu, he turned his face to the sky, and let his face similar to Qiu Xinsu be exposed to the crowd. Soon someone followed secretly and entangled Qiu Lingfu.

Qiu Lingfu wanted to find Qiu Xinsu wholeheartedly, and the sword in his hand didn't have eyes, but just after he drew blood on that group of people, his stomach began to stir faintly, and he could hardly hold the sword in his hand.

Just as he was about to be caught, a flash of sword light came from a distance, and in the blink of an eye, everyone around him was already dead.

Qiu Xinsu went to buy wine, holding two bowls in his hand.

Qiu Lingfu followed her into the house, and Qiu Xinsu poured wine for the two of them.

"Mother..." Qiu Lingfu's eyes were fixed tightly, and he didn't dare to leave her at all, for fear that she would leave.

"If you want to leave, wait until Ah Po comes."

At this moment, he finally used his usual begging tone.

Qiu Xinsu didn't say that she was going to leave, nor did she say that she would not leave.

The wine is warm wine, and the moon is cold. She picked up the bowl and took a sip against the cold moonlight.

Qiu Xinsu said: "I was ordered to practice martial arts diligently since I was a child. My father said that I am different. If I want to survive, I must practice martial arts well. In Huayuye, I have never slacked off. I have been lazy since I met him."

She never only said him, not "your father".Qiu Lingfu doesn't remember his father, but he remembers his mother's favorite person.

"That secret is actually not a secret, but no one has ever paid attention to it. Maybe a hundred years ago, someone discovered the clue from the ancestors of the Qiu family. Since then, every generation has had no peace."

Qiu Lingfu also picked up the bowl, how much he wanted to hear those stories when he was looking for her, how much he didn't want to hear them now.Whenever Qiu Xinsu is willing to talk to him, he will listen quietly.

Qiu Xinsu said: "Grandpa built a group of tombs and set a trap for those who wanted to end the matter. Almost everyone who knew the truth of the matter had already died. Because my father and Mr. Wu didn't want to die in the tomb, they left quietly .Grandpa wants to end up in his generation, but there is my father, and my father wants to end up in my generation, but there is me. I have you again."

It's not that there are gods cursing, but there will be no peace for life after life.Revenge and greed, this is the curse of the world.

Qiu Lingfu said eagerly: "Mother, you don't have to finish it, let me finish it."

He touched the bowl on the ground, and the wine shattered the moonlight and fell to the ground.

Qiu Xinsu looked at him, but sighed: "Qiu Lingfu, Qiu Lingfu."

He was not called Qiu Lingfu from birth.

Qiu Lingfu remembered that it was also a night like today, Qiu Xinsu sat alone for a long time facing the moonlight.

The moonlight is bleak and lonely, and no one can stay in such moonlight alone for so long.Unless she is more bleak and lonely than moonlight.

At that time, four-year-old Xu Lingfu and Xiaoshi saw her when they came back from the brightly lit street market.

Xu Lingfu walked over carefully.He is not afraid of this woman, but this woman has always been as far away as the moon and has nothing to do with him.

But when he came back from the market, he was full of hot anger. He saw Qiu Xinsu almost melted in the moonlight, and that hot breath was forced into his heart by the moonlight.His body was cold, but his heart was hot.

He found himself walking towards Qiu Xinsu unconsciously, like the vague blood relationship between each other, and like the pure sympathy between people.

He looked at her helplessly: "You are my mother."

Qiu Xinsu also looked at him, his eyes were desolate and lonely, as if looking into the distance.

He wanted to accompany her and get closer to her: "You are my mother, then I am Qiu Lingfu."

The same surname makes the closely related fate more clearly displayed in front of them.Children inherit destiny, hatred and love from their father, and can also inherit from their mother.

For the first and only time, Qiu Lingfu hugged her hand, which was still holding the sword.

Qiu Xinsu remained motionless, looking down at him.The eyes looking up at the moonlight are clear. Like that person, he has a pair of innocent eyes.

Under the desolate and lonely moonlight, she did not push him away.
