Qi Qing worked hard to calm her fluctuating heart, and answered the woman's question. She also had a lot of questions waiting to ask the other party.Suddenly, the woman wiped away her tears and cried:

"Senior Sister, I finally found you!"

As she spoke, she bent her legs and knelt down in front of Qiqing.Qiqing was startled, and hurried over to help her up:

"Girl, get up, why is this?"

Danniang saw that Qiqing and the woman were very excited, and there were passers-by on the road, so she said:

"This is not a place to talk, shall we go over there?"

The woman looked at Tanniang and asked again:

"you are……?"

Qi Qing didn't know why the woman asked who Dan Niang was, but she told her anyway, saying:

"She's Tanya."

"Danniang?!" The woman cried with joy and tears again.

The three left the main road and walked to a secluded place not far away.

"Girl, do you know my father? Where is he now?" Qi Qing asked anxiously.

The woman burst into tears. Seeing that Qiqing was anxiously waiting for her to reply, she stopped crying and said sadly:

"Senior Sister, Master passed away ten years ago."

"What? Dad!"

Qiqing suddenly hit the top like a stick, her mind was dizzy for a while, and she slumped to the ground with a shake of her figure.When Danniang saw her, she quickly supported her, calling her name repeatedly.

Qiqing was absent-minded for a long time, and after a while, she looked at the woman and asked: "Is it true? My father is no longer alive?" After a pause, she continued: "Actually, I predicted that my father was no longer alive. This world is gone, but I don't want to admit my premonition, I always comfort myself, my father is still alive, married in another place I don't know, has a child, he just forgot about me, or my father Where did you live in seclusion and practice martial arts, and he will come back to find me when he is finished. I have been deceiving myself like this all these years. Today you told me the news of my father's death, which completely extinguished the fear in my heart. A little bit of hope."

Both Daniang and the woman were weeping, and Danniang said:

"Uncle Lu treats me like my own daughter. He never said a word of criticism to me. I regard him as my biological father, and I have been looking forward to his coming back to be with us. I don't think he is really gone!"

"That sword was originally a family heirloom of my family," Qi Qing said, looking at the sword in the woman's hand.

The woman came over and put the sword in front of Qiqing.Qiqing took the sword in his hand and stroked it lightly:

"This sword matches my father's temper very well. I watched my father wield it while sweating since I was a child. Since then, I have also fallen in love with sword dancing."

She pulled out the hilt lightly, and the blade exposed the scabbard. She looked at the small word "Yu" on the front of the blade near the hilt, and said:

"This sword is said to be the beloved object of Zhou Yu of Eastern Wu. It is unparalleled in the world. Later, it was passed down to my ancestors. Today, when I see this sword again, it is a different thing. Father, I will never dance swords for you again. I read..."

"Papa" hot tears fell on the sword.Danniang helped Qiqing up from the ground, and sat down on an earthen platform beside her.Qi Qing wiped away her tears, raised her head and said:

"Girl, please tell me about my father in detail."

"Yes, the matter has to start from 29 years ago, senior sister, do you still remember the last time master left home?"

"I remember clearly, as if yesterday, my father was going to Shou County to visit his old friend, and he promised to come back before my mother's death. The whereabouts of my father, but they all said that they have not seen my father. I think the family may have been robbed, and my father did not see us when he came back, so he went to find us, and we lost contact since then."

"At the beginning, Master should make an appointment to meet his old friend. On the way, he saw a frightened horse running towards him. There were still people in the cart. In order to save people, he jumped into the carriage and tried to stop it. The horse ran wildly, but the carriage fell down the valley due to a sudden axle break, and he survived because of the back of the horse. Afterwards, he knew that it was a carriage from the Japanese. The horse was frightened by someone throwing a poison dart. The man Keigo Taro and the coachman died at that time, his wife A Cai and six-year-old son were still alive. A Cai told the master that they were going back to her natal family. Her father and mother were weak and sick, and her younger sister and younger brother were young. She asked Master to help her with her husband's funeral.

Master took pity on her and agreed to her request.After Ah Cai buried her husband, she took her parents' family to live with her.Ah Cai trusted Master very much. She told Master that her husband, Keigo Taro, and a man named Katsuhisa Okada came to Datang from Dongying. They opened two shops in the street and employed a few men.

The business they do is due to Keigo Taro paying a lot of money, so Keigo Taro has the final say on the overall management of the two stores.Keigo Taro asked Okada Katsuhisa to be in charge of the shops on the East Street, and he was in charge of the North Street.One day, Keigo Taro discovered that the gold jewelry in the East Street shop was adulterated. Many of them were made of brass, and the outside was only plated with gold. When Keigo Taro found out, he was very angry and blamed Katsuhisa Okada. He also proposed to withdraw the partnership with him and share the capital, and each do their own business.A few days later, the horse was frightened and the car fell into the valley. Keigo Taro died.After listening to Ah Cai's narration, the master became suspicious. He used a hidden weapon left on the horse and went around to inquire about the situation.

Master rushed to Ah Cai to tell her the truth, but when he arrived at her home, he saw that several members of Ah Cai's family had been murdered. Her valuables and gold from the store on North Street disappeared. The state is very miserable.The master inspected the scene carefully, and later found the character 'Gang' written with her last breath on the ground covered by the palm of Ah Cai's hand with blood on her fingers.

The master said that at that time he had already been moved by Ah Cai. Seeing the people he liked being murdered and those innocent people dying tragically, his chest was filled with anger. He hurried to find Katsuhisa Okada, but he was nowhere to be found.He went around to inquire about information, and learned that Katsuhisa Okada had packed the gold jewelry into a coffin, smuggled it onto the ship, and was about to return to China from the sea today.He hurried to the ferry again and found the merchant ship that Okada Katsuhisa was on.

At night, when the master jumped on the deck to assassinate Katsuhisa Okada, four mysterious black-clothed warriors suddenly appeared on the ship. They could use a mysterious ninjutsu to make their figures flicker, which made the master unpredictable.Just when Master was off guard, he was stabbed and caught by them.Okada Katsuhisa originally wanted to kill him, but because they met several times before, Okada Katsuhisa also knew him, and Okada, who was full of resentment, changed his mind to kill him immediately.He actually had someone cut off the master's tendons and tendons, took him to Dongying's house, and forced him to be a slave.

The master said that he had endured humiliation for more than ten years, and he just wanted to go back to his hometown to see you again.At Okada's house, he was whipped and insulted, but he gritted his teeth and endured it. He secretly studied martial arts, and he kept looking for the method to crack the "ninjutsu" of the man in black.More than ten years later, although he was physically disabled, his newly created martial arts had reached the pinnacle, and he also found a way to break the "ninjutsu", and easily killed Okada Katsuhisa to avenge him.

At that time, because my Zeyuan family offended Katsuhisa Okada, my parents were imprisoned by him in their home prison, and then they were killed by him, and I became a slave of his family.At that time, I saw the disabled Master and often talked with him.After the master killed Okada Katsuhisa that day, he was about to leave with the crutches tied to his arms and legs. I begged him to take me away as well.Master couldn't stand my begging, so he agreed to me. After finding his sword, we fled to a village by the sea and hid.

Those days were the happiest period since I met Master. We lived in that village for two years, and Master taught me martial arts and some formulas.But at that time, he couldn't resist his homesickness, and several times he wanted to sneak back on the boat.Later, we dressed up, bought a merchant who was in the Tang Dynasty to do business, and took his boat back to China. But on the way, Master fell ill, bloody dysentery, and passed away a few days later.It is you who he never forgets, he left me his sword, and taught me roughly all his martial arts, telling me to find you.

After Master died, the boatman didn't want to keep his body anymore, so I couldn't stop him, watching them throw him into the sea.After I returned to the Central Plains, I went to find you according to the place Master told me, but when I went there, your home there was already an empty lot.Master died, and I couldn't find you, my senior sisters, so I buried Master's clothes and piled up a clothes tomb, and I went to the grave once a year to burn incense.I have been looking for you for ten years, and I thought it was impossible to find you again. This time I came to offer incense to Master. God opened his eyes and let me meet you! "

The woman broke out the whole story in one breath, and Qi Qing had already cried into tears, her voice was already choked up:

"Father, I didn't expect you to suffer so much in the past ten years... My daughter is not filial, she didn't accompany you to take care of you, my daughter is sorry for you..."

Danniang was beside her, persuading her, and weeping at the same time.Qiqing's eyes were swollen from crying, she stood up:

"Girl, where is the tomb you set up for my father? Can you take me there?"

"It's at the foot of the mountain near Qixian Village, but it's too late to go now, it will be midnight when we go there."

"Qiqing, let's go tomorrow, and go back today to prepare." Tanniang turned to the girl again and said, "Miss, thank you for taking care of Uncle Lu before, and I haven't asked your name yet?"

"My name is Hanako," the woman replied.

"Are you from Dongying?" Qi Qing asked.

"Yes."

"Hanako, have you been looking for us for more than ten years?" Qi Qing asked again.

"Yes, before Master left, he wrote you a letter with a pen in his mouth, and asked me to pass it on to you."

"Do you believe it? Show me!"

Hanako looked at Qiqing and wondered:

"Master's letter, I have always kept it in a safe place, and I didn't bring it with me today."

Qiqing was a little disappointed, she asked:

"Hanako, where do you live now?"

"Since I crossed the sea and came to the Central Plains, I wandered all the way. Although I was only ten years old at the time, because Master taught me martial arts, no one could bully me. I searched for you according to the address Master said, but I couldn't find you. Later I went to a There was a nun in the temple who was very kind to me, so I hid the master's letter in the temple, and then set off to look for you everywhere."

"How did you find it for more than ten years?" Qi Qing asked.

"I'm asking people by your first and last names, and at the same time, I'm bringing Master's sword with me. I think Senior Sister will come to me when you see this sword."

Qiqing lowered his head and looked at the sword in his hand:

"You're right. Today, I recognized Dad's sword at a glance, but you walked so fast that I still didn't catch up with you."

"I saw someone following me, and I felt strange, so I didn't walk very fast."

A few snowflakes fell quietly, and the sky was getting dizzy. Qi Qing glanced at Dan Niang standing beside her. Just a moment ago, she was so tired that she was chasing after her, her cheeks were flushed and she was sweating profusely, but now she saw her face turning pale. Bai, shivering slightly from the cold, obviously her body is not as good as her and Hanako's two martial arts practitioners.

"Hanako, you are my father's apprentice, why don't you go back with us?" Qi Qing said.

Hanako nodded happily.

This night is destined to be sleepless.Qiqing tossed and turned all night, did not close his eyes, Danniang was also full of thoughts, and did not sleep well.

At five o'clock, Danniang put on her clothes and walked out of the room. The ground outside the room was covered with a thick layer of snow, which reflected the silvery white in the courtyard.Danniang saw Qiqing sitting on the bench leaning against the pillar of the porch. When she walked over, Qiqing turned to look at her and said:

"It's not dawn yet, why are you up?"

"Can't sleep."

Tanniang said that she was going to sit down, Qiqing put down the legs that were lifted on the bench, and moved her body to the side to make room for Danniang to sit down.The two sat quietly, watching the snowflakes fall to the ground.

"This snow covers everything, the world should always be so white, so clean, no darkness, no sin!" Qi Qing said.

"But once the sun shines, everything will return to its original appearance!" Tanniang said softly.

Qiqing said sadly:

"Why is there so much darkness and evil, so much pain and suffering in the world? Isn't there a clean place?"

"Perhaps, people are here to suffer!" Dan Niang sighed.

"My mother left early. When I was a child, our family's life was not easy, but with my father around, I think the sky above my head is still very high. Now life is still poor, and I have nothing to complain about. I only hope that our family can Be happy, even if we can't be together, as long as everyone is safe, I will be satisfied.

Who would have thought that my father was thousands of miles away and was subjected to such inhuman torture. I really can't imagine how he came here for more than ten years. When he died, I couldn't see his old side. I thought, is this God's fault? What about my punishment? "

As Qi Qing spoke, he raised his head and looked at the gray sky.Tanniang turned to look at her and said:

"What crime do you have to punish you? There is no way to do this. Uncle Lu has already left, so you have to think about it!"

Qiqing still raised her head, looking at the black sky, and then she sighed a long time: "If I hadn't caught you and insisted on being with you, God would not have punished me like this!" She was full of emotion. It's a tone of remorse.

Danniang touched Qiqing's forehead and said:

"Qiqing, don't you have a fever? How do you say such a thing? This is not like you before. If I don't want to, I don't like you. Can you catch me? How can you take the responsibility on yourself? take it?"

Qiqing turned to look at Danniang, and heard Danniang continue:

"If you really want to blame anyone, blame God, blame God for making Uncle Lu suffer misfortune, blame God for allowing so many evils to run rampant in the world!"

Qi Qing was a little moved when she heard this, and she said sadly:

"Danniang, I'm really sad!"

"I know, everything will pass slowly." Dan Niang held Qi Qing's hand, and her eyes were already moist.

When it was dawn, Hanako pushed open the door from the bedroom and came out, saw Qiqing and Danniang sitting under the eaves and said:

"Senior sister, are you up early?"

Tanya stood up and said:

"Hanako, did you sleep well last night?"

"I slept very soundly. This is the soundest and deepest sleep I have had since I came to Middle-earth. I feel like I am sleeping in my own home."

Qiqing smiled slightly and looked at Hanako:

"This is your home!"

After breakfast, Qiqing and Danniang followed Huazi to Lu Xiaotian's tomb.After offering incense and offering sacrifices, Huazi went to the monastery where she was staying, and brought back the letter Lu Xiaotian left to Qiqing back to Meicun, and entrusted it to Qiqing.

Qiqing took the letter with both hands. She felt that the paper was heavy and worth a thousand dollars. When she unfolded the yellowed and darkened paper, she saw that it was densely packed with bold black characters written in thick ink. Qiqing held the letter and read it. stand up:

"My son Qiqing, it has been more than ten years since we parted on that day. The sea and the sky are far away. As a father, I miss my hometown all the time, miss you and Tanniang. I have been detained overseas for many years. My apprentice Huazi will tell you the reason. I won’t go into details here. Now my life is about to die, and the only ones who worry about it are the two of you! My family is poor, and you have no father or mother. I don’t know how the two girls will survive, whether they will get married and have children? Fortunately, Qi Qinger, you have learned a little bit of martial arts, but you are still worried about being a father. I have prepared a dowry before you, and I have no parents to rely on. , Remember to tell me that I can die in Jiuquan, and I can rest in peace! Lu Xiaotian's masterpiece."
