Gu Yi turned over in his sleep, Xu Yunqian's Taoist robe slipped off his body, his face was pale, his brows were tightly frowned, the air was filled with sweetness, lingering on the tip of his nose like blood, Gu Yi's ears kept ringing One sentence: "Peace and joy? Or is everything going well?"

It was the first year of Yongle, the thirteenth day of the ninth month, Gu Family Sword Sect.

"Peace and joy, or all the best?"

A hexagonal copper coin was thrown high and fell into the man's hand with a snap. The copper coin was old, with a dark red thread tied on it. When it is thrown up, it will reflect a luster, and it is such a thing that determines the lives of the mother and younger brother.

The man in front of him was wearing a bamboo hat, his face could not be seen clearly, only his chin and pale thin lips could be seen. He didn't look like the killer in the storybook, his body was as thin as a sickly consumptive ghost.

"Peace and joy, or everything goes well?" the man asked again.

His voice was soft and soft, which made people feel chills in their hearts. Gu Yi shrank in the wooden box and looked up at him.

On the day the family was destroyed, it was too late to escape, so the mother hid the two children in a wooden box.Gu Yi obeyed his instructions and covered Xiaofeng's ears. He didn't have any extra hands to cover his own. He could only be forced to listen to the sound of killing people outside. The people who came were the top assassins, their screams were short and smooth, as if the killer had come to send them to bliss early.

He didn't know when this kind of torture would pass. At that time, he naively thought that it would be better later, even if the Gu family's sword sect was gone, he could protect his younger brother for the rest of his life.

Until the sound outside gradually subsided, it was so quiet that the sound of incense sticks falling could be heard.

Then his eyes lit up, the lid of the box above his head was opened, the person who came was a top killer, and sooner or later he would find the wooden box.

Gu Yi and his younger brother are like two chicken cubs hiding in a wooden box, exposed in front of everyone in an instant.

It was hard for Gu Yi to describe what he saw for the first time. The corpses everywhere were familiar to everyone. The servants at home, the old housekeeper who died suddenly, and the little guards who grew up with him were all so strange. Looking at their tragic death faces, I always feel as if I don't know each other for a moment.No matter where Gu Yi put his eyes, there are large patches of red, as if the world has been turned upside down, leaving only the color of blood red.

A man wearing a bamboo hat stood in front of him. It was only September, but he seemed to be extremely afraid of the cold. He was wearing a black sheepskin fur, a black rabbit fur scarf around his neck, and a scarf on his hand. A pair of leather gloves.

Next to him was a man in black who grabbed his mother's hair and dragged Xiao Yunyu to Gu Yi's eyes. The blade was so cold and pressed against Xiao Yunyu's neck. Life and death were only a moment away.

"Mother! Mother!" The younger brother seemed to feel something and yelled madly. He was calling mother, but Gu Yi didn't. He controlled his brother who was trying to break free with one hand, and tightly covered his mouth, for fear of alarming the ruthless killer in front of him. .Gu Yi was very quiet, and kept this posture all the time, staring straight at the man with a pair of black and white eyes.

His whole body was shaking, but he didn't say a word. Only then did he realize that people can't speak when they are extremely scared.

Gu Yi's reaction attracted the killer's interest, and the killer/Wang Kai said that he wanted to play a game with Gu Yi, guess the copper coins, and if he guessed correctly, he would let Xiao Yunyu die.

The hexagonal copper coin spun several times in the air, and the red thread tied to it was flying. After reaching the apex, it slowly descended, and finally fell into the hands of a pair of leather gloves, with a muffled snap.

"Peace and joy, or everything goes well?" These two sentences are printed on the front and back of the six-cent copper coin.

The man asked Gu Yi to choose, it was so simple, a game that a three-year-old child could play, to decide the life of his mother, Gu Yi gritted his teeth and dared not speak.

His mother is Xiao Yunyu, the daughter of the lord of Tianhu City. She is very beautiful. At this time, she was forced to kneel on the ground with messy hair and twisted hair accessories. Gu Yi remembered how good her mother's hair was, soft and slippery, and felt like A piece of fine silk, Xiao Yunyu's neck was raised because her hair was being pulled, like a spoiled swan.

This is a trap, Gu Yi is wrong whether he answers or not.

"Are you dumb?" The man's patience was exhausted.

Gu Yi seemed to be answering a question. In the past, if he read a wrong book, his master would beat him at most. Now, if he answered wrongly, he would die. No one in this world can suffer this for him, only himself, he looked at it Mother, Xiao Yunyu shook her head at him, "Don't, don't choose."

He turned to look at the man, and the corner of the man's mouth curled up, as if he thought it was fun, as if encouraging him.

Gu Yi stared at him as if in a daze, and was taken away unconsciously. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but was quickly interrupted, "Gu Yi!" Mother called him.

There were tears in Xiao Yunyu's eyes, her hair was pulled by someone, tears were hanging on her face, she was obviously so downcast, and she said so decisively, "My Gu family man must have a backbone! Don't talk!"

Gu Yi doesn’t understand, Xiao Yunyu understands, he will definitely die today, if Gu Yi answers wrong, he will bear the responsibility of killing his mother, if he makes a mistake, his life will be worse than death for the rest of his life, Gu Yi can’t open his mouth, once he speaks, he will be killed It's over.

The man felt that Xiao Yunyu was very noisy, and a small knife the size of a willow leaf protruded from his cuff, squatting halfway in front of Xiao Yunyu, "I didn't ask you."

"mother!"

The willow leaf dagger lightly scratched Xiao Yunyu's neck, Gu Yi had no time to react, a bloodstain had already appeared on Xiao Yunyu's neck.With one stab, Xiao Yunyu didn't die, only his trachea was cut. Xiao Yunyu's eyes widened and his mouth opened, and the sound of the wind filled his throat.

Gu Yi was trembling all over his body. He had never seen such a technique when he was so old. Cutting her trachea made her unable to live or die. Life and death were all in the hands of the assassin, who could delay her mother's death indefinitely, "I am very patient Limited." The man gave Gu Yi one last chance.

Xiao Yunyu was in extreme pain, she covered her throat and shook her head at Gu Yi, silently repeating a word: "Don't."

"I choose Ping An." Gu Yi opened his mouth, his throat was dry, and his voice was a little childish. Every word seemed to be dripping from his throat and eyes: "Ping, An, Xi, Le."

The man glanced at the copper coin in his hand, as if a long time had passed, the man was like a statue, Gu Yi's heart was lifted, like a desperate gambler staring at the dice cup to see whether it will be big or small in the end, the man sighed He took a deep breath and said, "What a pity."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Yi felt his face heat up, his mother's blood splashed on his face, it was sticky, as if it was going to suffocate him to death.

Xiao Yunyu next to her was already blood splattered on the spot, the assassin killed cleanly and quickly, and usually wouldn't let people keep a word after killing her.

The man seemed to have dirty hands, he wiped the knife with his cuff, looked disappointed at Xiao Yunyu's body, "She had a half chance to live, it's all your fault."

Gu Yi stared blankly, the mother's blood on his face gradually turned cold, and blood got into his eyes, he blinked, feeling a little stinging, he didn't understand what happened now, suddenly a scream erupted in his ears, "elder brother!"

He felt his hand loosen, his younger brother Gu Feng was lifted, his legs struggled wildly, Gu Yi stretched out his hand to reach it, the strength of a child and an adult is so different, let alone a teenager and a top killer, Gu Yi went to catch his younger brother, it was like He went to catch the moon in the water, but found nothing. The next moment, his younger brother Xiaofeng was already strangled by the neck.Gu Yi instinctively wanted to stand up: "I'll kill you!"

But he didn't succeed, the man pressed lightly, and he could only be forced to return to the wooden box, as if Gu Yi was a tortoise, and the wooden box was his tortoise shell.

Gu Yi finally showed a childish expression, and stopped forcing himself to calm down. He stared longingly at the man, and the young master of the Gu family begged in a low voice, "If you want to kill me, kill me, please, he is so young."

"You let him choose, let him choose my life, please."

The blood-stained sword lay across Xiaofeng's neck, and the man turned a blind eye to Gu Yi's appearance. He threw up the copper coin and asked, "Do it again, safe and happy, or everything will go well?"

Begging for mercy was useless, Gu Yi bit his own tongue, he felt like he was going crazy.

The man had a good time: "Think about your mother."

No need to think about it, Xiao Yunyu's blood was not cold, and Gu Yi could see his mother's eyes from the corner of his eye, and he did not rest in peace when he died.He couldn't let Xiaofeng end up with his mother.

Gu Yi's answer didn't seem to matter to the killer. The man raised a finger, and the man in black next to him exerted a slight force on the tip of his sword, leaving some bloodstains on Xiaofeng's neck. shivering.The man said: "Last chance, peace and joy, or all the best?"

Can't escape, can't escape no matter what, even if Gu Yi is going to die, he has to finish answering this question.Gu Yi is like a gambler in a gambling shop, when he knows that this road can only go down, there is no way out.

"Peace and joy." Gu Yi gave the same answer.

Please, be safe and happy.

The man glanced at the palm of his hand, and sighed louder: "It's wrong again."

The next moment, blood gushed out, and Xiaofeng's body fell beside the wooden box.

Gu Yi became numb, the hexagonal copper coin was stained with blood, and was thrown up for the third time, reflecting a layer of blood, the copper coin fell into the palm of the man with a slap, and the man said, "It's your turn, kid."

"Guess what?"

Gu Yi's lips trembled, he lost his senses, the human heart seemed to die, he was already a dead person, he gave the same answer for the third time, his voice became weaker each time: "Peace and joy."

Gu Yi is a gambler. A gambler has nothing. He has already lost everything. In the end, he only has one life. Instead, he doesn't care so much. Gu Yi stares at the man's hand like a rooster who has lost a fight.

The man glanced at the copper coin in his hand, and instead of announcing the answer immediately, he walked towards Gu Yi step by step. Gu Yi no longer trembled, and seemed to be ready to die.And the man made a move that was difficult for others to understand, reaching out to touch Gu Yi's face, he was wearing gloves, but his movements were so gentle and loving, as if Gu Yi was his child, and his original intention was probably to wipe Gu Yi's face. Get rid of the blood on Gu Yi's face, but the blood cannot be wiped off, the more it is wiped, the more it gets messy, it seems to be engraved in Gu Yi's bones and blood forever, let him have a good taste of blood.

"Congratulations." The man held Gu Yi's face and smiled: "You won."

Congratulations, you have won.Gu Yi lost twice, his mother and younger brother, but only himself.
