The bright moon sits on the ground

Zhang Qi left.

Zhang Rui and Zhang Yu also bid farewell.

In the end, Zhang Shuangbi was sleepy and tired, pressed his fingers between his eyebrows, rubbed them gently, and raised his hand to let An Picai go too.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and the teapot on the table was empty, talking all night,? Even Zhang Shuangbi was too tired to speak, tired even looking up, her voice was hoarse and deep, and she simply closed it Close your eyes for a while.

As soon as I closed my eyes, past events came to my mind one after another.

More than ten years ago, Zhang Shuangbi thought, at that time he was too naive, irritable and reckless, and he did many wrong things.

After such a long time, recalling the events at that time, he would always involuntarily ask himself, if he were the current him, would he still quarrel with Wen Yunshui? When he faced Chang Deng and Chang Jinyu again, he saw that they refused to give in, stalemate each other, and finally parted ways. Could you persuade them to come back?

Also, if it were him now, wouldn't he hate Chang Deng for several years?

At that time, Chang Deng turned his head and left without even turning his head, as if he had completely forgotten the oath of the five of them.

Zhang Shuangbi can actually understand Chang Deng. Chang Jinyu regards human life as worthless, not to mention the lives of ordinary people in his eyes. It seems that they are easy to get along with.

What's more, the relationship between Chang Deng and Chang Jinyu is complicated, and the way they get along cannot be described in a few words.

But at the same time, he couldn't understand Chang Deng, because Chang Jinyu valued loyalty and never treated the four of them badly.

Why does Chang Deng distrust Chang Jinyu from the bottom of his heart?

Zhang Shuangbi found out about this by accident later.

On the night Chang Jinyu left the tribe, Chang Deng slept beside his father. On a dark night, Chang Jinyu stabbed a dagger into his arm, and forcibly gouged out the piece of flesh with the tribe's crest on it. When he got down, he broke out in a cold sweat, but without saying a word, he inserted the short knife, including flesh and blood, into the wooden board at the head of his father's bed, which made him wake up in shock, his eyes full of fear.

What was frightening was that Chang Jinyu could stand at the head of his bed without making a sound, and he didn't know anything about it.

"Come here, I'll take you away."

Chang Jinyu didn't even look at his father, and said to Chang Deng who was sleeping on the inside with sleepy eyes.

The swordsman knew that he couldn't leave with the constant lamp, but he was afraid of the short knife that was so close at hand, so he kept silent.

He was weak and selfish, he didn't even think about whether Chang Jinyu took Chang Deng to kill him.

Chang Deng was completely awake, with gloomy eyes, completely different from his father, without any fear, he got up and dressed without uttering a single syllable, and finally smiled contemptuously, and left with Chang Jinyu.

It was only then that Chang Jinyu vaguely realized that his younger brother's temper was somewhat similar to his.

The two of them couldn't be said to be familiar with each other, and they didn't even speak a few words on weekdays, and they would turn their heads away when they met.

To be honest, Chang Jinyu is a bit jealous of Chang Deng. He is jealous that Chang Deng has both parents, and his own mother is deceased, so his father basically doesn't regard him as his own flesh and blood; He has learned the sword skills of the desert, but he himself has to break through the iron shoes, run around, learn a little bit of moves in the bloody storm, and in the chaos of war; On that day, he was branded with a tribal crest that couldn't be washed off, like a shackle.

So Chang Jinyu took Chang Deng away from his parents, broke Chang Deng's knife, and gouged out the flesh on his own arm.

Now, the two of them are standing in the yellow sand hundreds of miles away from the tribe, facing the scorching sun.

Only then did Chang Jinyu think, after so many years, they have finally evened out, you don't owe me, and I don't owe you either.

If this is the end of the matter, then the relationship between Chang Jinyu and Chang Deng will not be at a dead end.

Chang Jinyu was born to be an unfamiliar wolf. He was ruthless to others and ruthless to himself. Once he made a decision, he would never let it go.

Chang Deng found out later that it turned out that Chang Jinyu never planned to let his father go.

His elder brother didn't say anything. After several days, Chang Jinyu went to find the way. Chang Deng had nothing to do, so he stared at the starry night sky in a daze, but he didn't lose his mind for too long. Then I heard an unusual sound.

Following the sound, carefully removing the haystack, what Chang Deng saw was his father covered in blood and cuts and bruises all over his body.

This weak man, the tendons in his hands and feet have been broken, seeing him is like seeing a savior, he tightly grasped the hem of his robe-in fact, it was not too hard, but Chang Deng's legs seemed to be poured. Like lead, unable to move.

He hates his father, hates his flattery, hates his weakness, hates that he has no martial arts but dares to do nothing, sees weak people being bullied and does not dare to help, and vows not to be like him people.

But Chang Deng never wanted him to die.

Hearing the mournful cries for help, Chang Deng suddenly felt a chill run up his spine, and his fingers also became cold.

He didn't hesitate to goug out his own flesh, even killed his own father, what else could Chang Jinyu not dare to do?

What about him?Chang Deng thought, when will Chang Jinyu kill him, the culprit?

His eyes swept across the bloody man, and looked at the extremely hidden place in the other corner.

That's right, Chang Deng suddenly found it funny. It was impossible for Chang Jinyu to make such a stupid mistake. He said he was going to find the way, but he deliberately left Chang Deng behind to let him find his father who had been tortured for a long time. Test his reflexes.

Chang Jinyu didn't go far at all.

He is here.

Chang Deng touched his waist subconsciously, and only then remembered that his knife had been broken by Chang Jinyu, and he didn't have any weapons on his body, just like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, walking happily into the tiger's mouth without noticing, Can't wait to be eaten clean immediately.

When he looked at the pleading person again, Chang Deng felt his stomach tumbling, and a nausea came up, mixed with a fishy and sweet smell. He covered his lips, and the scene in front of him turned red, which was very dazzling. Make him feel sick.

His elder brother, although wearing a human skin, is rotten and dirty inside. There is no goodness at all, only complete evil.

Chang Deng closed his eyes, swallowed the discomfort into his throat, raised the corner of his robe, and squatted down.

At that moment, he thought a lot.

He thought, he couldn't escape, Chang Jinyu just put the right of choice in his hands so blatantly.

He thought, they could not understand each other after all, until the end of death, everything will be turned around.

He thought that if he had an apprentice in the future, he would never let him get his hands stained with blood so early.

Chang Deng sighed in his heart, raised his hand, and put it on his father's blood-stained neck, lowered his head, moved his lips imperceptibly, and his voice was soft and low, but it was still audible to the people on the ground. Clearly.

"I'm sorry." He gave in to his father for the first time and said, "I do regret it, but what I can do now..."

All I can do is give you an ending to your painful and tormented second half of your life.

Before the words fell, the sound of bones breaking was heard, crisp and loud, and Chang Deng twisted his neck with his hands.

Then, he stood up abruptly, turned his head away, couldn't hold back after all, coughed and spit it out, choking him to tears.

Chang Deng himself couldn't tell what the tears were, but he could feel Chang Jinyu's sight gradually disappearing.

It wasn't until after he left, and after waiting for a while, that Chang Deng suddenly cried bitterly.

He had never hated his own incompetence so much, nor had he hated Chang Jinyu so much.

After leaving the desert and entering the Central Plains, Chang Deng found an excuse and parted ways with Chang Jinyu.

Afterwards, he received a letter from Chang Jinyu, and after thinking about it all night in the cold wind, he decided to go to Zhen'e with Wen Yunshui.

After a few years, the engraved and unforgettable hatred at the beginning has been diluted a lot.

There is another reason, the older and more mature the mind, the more Chang Deng understands the indestructible connection between the blood.

Therefore, Chang Deng went to the appointment just to see how his brother was doing, and he also wanted to try to understand Chang Jinyu.

But the deep-rooted suspicion cannot be eliminated after all, and it is impossible for completely contradictory concepts to understand each other.

It's a pity that Chang Deng didn't know until the end that Chang Jinyu never felt that they were indebted to each other, nor did he regard him as a thorn in the side - Chang Jinyu would occasionally mention to An Pi that he hadn't contacted him for a long time. brother.

As for Chang Jinyu, he also didn't know that Chang Deng knew very well that he was hiding in the dark and watching coldly.

Every time Zhang Shuangbi thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh.However, this was just an entanglement between the two brothers. At that time, Chang Deng didn't even say a word to Zhang Shuangbi. He was disappointed and angry, so he turned around and left. A letter, not even a small talk.

Chang Deng is like this, and Wen Yunshui is also like this. This is the reason why Zhang Shuangbi really can't let go.

Looking back now, maybe the two of them just misunderstood, thinking that Zhang Shuangbi was also on Chang Jinyu's side.

Zhang Shuangbi was young and frivolous at that time, completely unaware of the entanglements involved, but subconsciously thought that Chang Jinyu had done nothing wrong, and that he had even been protecting his younger brother, but was criticized by Chang Deng in this way, so he gave Chang Jinyu Yu said a few good things, and, in all fairness, Chang Jinyu was the first person Zhang Shuangbi met after entering the arena, and he had a better relationship with him.

But Chang Deng's eyes turned cold all of a sudden, he didn't say anything anymore, and left with Wen Yunshui.

Zhang Shuangbi rested her fingers on the wooden table and tapped it lightly and heavily, remembering what she said to Nie Qiu before, thinking that even after more than ten years, his temper has not changed. , New and old hatred surged up together, and everything was said.

What he wanted to ask was how Chang Deng and Wen Yunshui have been doing for so many years.

Remembering the scenes of quarreling with Wen Yunshui and chatting with Chang Deng when he was young, Zhang Shuangbi couldn't help but smile a little.

Having been angry for more than ten years, any deep hatred should be wiped out. He stopped his hands when he thought of this, the exhaustion from not sleeping all night finally dissipated a lot, his head seemed not so groggy, and his eyes were clear and bright.

Chang Deng's apprentice deliberately participated in the competition to recruit relatives and won the first prize; Chang Jinyu's apprentice knew that he would make him angry, but he still had to confront him face to face; his senior daughter was there to help; He didn't feel that the fake son-in-law would affect her much... All these things that made him depressed all night disappeared with the light of the morning sun.

If the mountain doesn't come to me, I will go to the mountain.

Changdeng and Wenyunshui.

These two people were stubborn and rigid, and they clenched their teeth and stood firm, so he, the younger one, could only bow his head first.

Zhang Shuangbi loosened his brows, and raised his hand to call the personal attendant in.

"Go and invite Fang Qisheng and Nie Qiu over here." He said, "After setting up the banquet, I will apologize in person."
