The villain is respected

Xie Chi seemed to have completely removed the heavy boulder in his heart, maybe it was still there, but as long as he was in front of Yu Jianhan, it seemed that all his words could be heard and all his explanations could be accepted.

The man only used three "I believe", and he completely shattered the shackles that had imprisoned him for thousands of years.

Perhaps, as long as this sentence "I believe", Xie Chi can hold the driftwood for survival in the mud, but unfortunately, this trust is too long overdue.

So long that he was alone in the endless darkness, wasting thousands of years for no reason.

Xie Chi laughed again. It seemed that the suffering of the past and the bondage of the present were over together, and he finally ushered in a new dawn full of hope: "Do you know? Why did I bring you to Huizhou..."

Yu Jianhan opened his lips slightly, and instantly clenched the sword pendant.For a moment, he even wanted Xie Chi to stop talking.

How could he not know?He knew even more than Xie Chi.

But for rotten and festering wounds, one can only cut through the mess quickly and work hard to remove the old scabs, so as to completely remove the congestion and abscesses, and heal and regenerate.

Now, he was holding a sharp bone-eviscerating knife in his hand, and the tip of the knife was facing the unconscious person.

"why?"

Finally, when Yu Jianhan heard these words coming from his throat, his tone was as gentle as ever, without knowing anything.

Xie Chi's eyes were bright, like a cluster of bonfires burning among the snow-capped dense forests in the middle of the cold winter night - it was his only hope in despair.

"Actually, I'm not an orphan. My home is in Huizhou, which I only found out later..."

He shared the secret joy in his heart with his close friends: "In Xuyu City, there is a Tzu Chi Hall, where children under the age of ten can be taken care of, and when they reach the age of ten, they will be kicked out and live in the city by themselves. We My age and birthday were determined when I entered the Tzu Chi Hall. When I was just ten years old and started living in Xuyu City, I met a demon cultivator."

"He is very strange. He seems to be able to predict the day when some children will leave the Tzu Chi Hall, so he comes to Xuyu City in time to find people, and disappears quietly after teaching the magic kung fu. If you die in front of you, you won't frown."

Xie Chi's tone contained some inexplicable sighs: "I didn't know until later, when his time was approaching and he wanted to seize the house—in fact, many children were stolen and cheated by him and sent to Xuyu City."

"That's why he knows the age and birthday set by Tzu Chi Hall." Yu Jianhan affirmed, "Since he can find you, it means..."

It means that back then, you were sent there by his own hands.

Xie Chi raised the corners of his lips, and his tone was a bit sad: "The man said that he cheated me from Nanyan Huizhou. I have a special physique and can attract demons and hostility. He took a fancy to this 'so-called' at a glance. So I acted as a wandering warlock, and lied to my merchant father, saying that I was born with evil spirits, and that I would harm my family and lose money."

Xie Chi raised his eyes and saw that Yu Jianhan seemed to have guessed something. There was a trace of resentment in his eyes, and he laughed again, explaining: "But he didn't... my father, he didn't give up on me."

Taking a closer look, Xie Chi's eyes flashed a gleam of water, which was his well-hidden secret joy.

"He said my father told him that even if all his money was spent, he would never leave his children behind."

It turned out that he had been defended with his life in this way—in a place he didn't know, he was protected desperately.

Xie Chi continued: "Seeing my father's recalcitrance, that man already had malicious intentions in his heart, but his life and death calamity was approaching, so he didn't dare to commit more crimes, adding cause and effect, so he could only use the most indiscriminate methods to threaten my father."

"What did he do?"

People with a heart want to harm others, and despicable methods are always hard to guard against.

The man wanted the Xie family to hand over the child willingly, but seeing that intimidation failed, he resorted to tricks to make little Xie Chi have a high fever for days and was dying. The Xie family searched for doctors, but the medicine was useless.

Just when the Xie family was devastated and had nothing to do, the magic cultivator put on the coat of a wandering warlock again, and knocked on the door of Xie's house - he told them that this was the beginning of Xie Chi's destiny, if They are still unwilling to let go, then even if the gods come, they will be powerless.

"But if you say how much he values ​​me, that's not the case. I'm just one of the substitutes he found. In the city, the number of children he sent is far more than two hands..." Xie Chi sneered, " He is well versed in the rules of Xuyu City, so he found children with good aptitude, remembered their ages and birthdays, bestowed magic skills on them, and then let them fend for themselves in the city."

"Survival of the fittest, when the deadline comes, he will be able to pick out the best body from among them."

Yu Jianhan stared at him and said affirmatively, "In the end, he chose you."

Xie Chi lowered his eyes and drank the cold tea in his cup.The tea is slightly cold, with a lingering bitterness in the mouth.

He laughed inexplicably, but his mood was a little depressed: "Actually, I should thank him for finding me."

As if recalling something from the past, Xie Chi sighed softly with a hint of reminiscence in his eyes: "If it weren't for this, I would not have been able to know my life experience and meet my last relative in this world."

"Master Xie is a well-known benevolent person. He gives away porridge and medicine, and runs a school for our children. Without him, our life is uncertain."

"That's right, the Yi River is flooding recently, and famine is everywhere. Master Xie even mortgaged a few shops and went to the neighboring city to buy food for disaster relief."

"I just heard that there is banditry on the Moyang Road, so if he goes there, he might be in danger..."

The cook next to him was still sighing worriedly, only to see a handsome young man with a serious expression in an instant. The man ignored the tea he had just ordered, and only threw an ingot of broken silver, and hurried back and forth.

"It's really strange," the cook muttered.

……

Moyang Road is the only way to come to Huizhou. It is surrounded by mountains on one side and dangerous cliffs on the other.

When Xie Chi arrived, the two sides were fighting fiercely, the robbers were vicious, and the sword in their hands made a piercing sound.

The brown and yellow sack was covered with bloodstains vertically and horizontally.

In Xie Chi's eyes, the scramble of mortals is as rough as a child's play. He collected his cultivation, pretended to be a knight who saw injustice, and rescued the food convoy.

The bandits saw that there was a hard stubble coming out, but no one could match it, and their own side suffered heavy casualties, so they had to pick up the knife and ax in a hurry, and fled by rolling and crawling.

Xie Chi put away his sword, and before he could ask anything, he saw Mr. Xie rushing over in a rough shirt. He didn't care about his wounds, and hurriedly checked the grain carts.

The slightly tired Xie Chengnian wiped the sweat from his forehead, and thanked Xie Chi directly.

Xie Chi helped him up, and the two talked and laughed happily all the way.

Master Xie only felt that this young junior had an inexplicable familiarity, as if they should have been familiar with each other by nature.He only felt that this trip was a good deal, and he had gained a new friend who had forgotten the years.

"Master Xie is really a bodhisattva with a heart. He traveled thousands of miles to transport food to solve problems." Xie Chi looked at the endless convoy and sighed from the bottom of his heart.

Xie Chengnian also followed his gaze, and he explained with some embarrassment: "There are so many absurd praises in the world, but I'm not completely selfless..."

"Little brother doesn't know, the old man actually has another elder brother, but it's a pity that he has been weak and sick since he was a child. The master You Fang said that if he doesn't embark on the road of cultivating immortals, he will die young." Master Xie fell into memory and sighed. , "My parents are reluctant to part with it, but there is nothing they can do about it. Unexpectedly, after he left, he would never hear from him again."

"I'm just a mediocre person, so naturally I can't get in touch with spiritual practice, and I can't fulfill my parents' regrets and find my lost brother." Master Xie sighed, "But I think that since cultivating immortals, there will be karma. If I do more good things , I also hope that this good fruit will fall on my brother to make up for his hardships of being separated when he was young and having no relatives."

The teenagers are separated and have no relatives.

It turned out that there were also people who missed him somewhere.

The boulder that weighed heavily on Xie Chi's heart finally collapsed in an instant.Xie Chi's eyes flashed faintly, but he smiled, and he said slowly: "Your brother will definitely know what you think, and he will be a gift from you."

Mr. Xie also laughed. He looked at the winding ants, and for some reason, like an old child, he suddenly became childish, and said proudly in a low voice: "It's so good, I think my brother must be a good man upright .”

Will do.

Xie Chi followed his gaze and added silently in his heart.

Your elder brother will definitely be an indomitable hero.

"So, I want to be a good person." Xie Chi said with a smile in his eyes, "Because this is the first time in my life that someone has expected me."

His past is a stain that cannot be washed away, but he can use the long future to make up for these mistakes and live up to this trust.

"So, you went to the Eastern Wild Sea."

Yu Jianhan tasted the astringency in his mouth, which was mixed with a faint taste of rust.He still maintained the appearance of a bosom friend, but the tightly held sword pendant hurt his palm.

So even if you have been trapped in the Eastern Paradise Sea for a thousand years, you have never complained at all.

Xie Chi laughed, and he drank and pecked at the remaining tea without saying anything.

Yu Jianhan stroked the warm sword pendant, he suddenly changed the subject, and said slowly: "Hearing what Axie said, I suddenly thought that since I entered the inner sect of Chengyun Sect, I have never been home again. .”

"Why don't you go back?"

Seeing that the fish really bit the hook in a daze, Yu Jianhan tilted his head slightly, and his gaze fell on the misty sea of ​​clouds, with an inexplicable sense of melancholy in his eyes.

"Back then, I broke the secret of a powerful man, and when I went home to ask for help, I found that I had become a burden to the family."

He seemed to be expounding a principle that should be taken for granted, and his tone was very gentle and peaceful: "And the encumbrance should be given up, shouldn't it?"

The smile on Xie Chi's face was completely suppressed, and his eyes were filled with astonishment—he only thought that the Sword Master of Nine Provinces had a prominent status and a magnanimous path, but he never thought that there would be such a serious illness after the blooming flowers.

Yu Jianhan turned his head to stare at him again, those eyes were like a bottomless pool, pure and transparent, but there seemed to be too many unspeakable emotions precipitated.

They are suppressed, silent, brewing in the cage.Just waiting for the day when he is released from the cage, he will tear this dirty world apart thoroughly.

"Ah Xie, they gave up on me. Although I survived, but..."

The man seemed to feel that he was too judgmental, and he lowered his eyes slightly in embarrassment, with an apologetic tone: "But I really, can't forgive."

Xie Chi's heart was slightly stagnant, and in a trance, his eye sockets were slightly moist, and another vague sentence came from his ear.

- I will take you away.

"Master, do you really want to do this?" A crying female voice came, "Jian Han is our child!"

The man who talked to her sighed heavily, his tone was full of exhaustion and desolation: "But you also heard what they said, if we don't hand over Jianhan, what will you and Yanqi do?"

He tremblingly said: "Jianhan is my son, but you are my wife, and Yanqi is also my child! I can only, only..."

"Exchange my life for Jianhan's life." The female voice choked up, "Jianhan entered the Chengyun School since he was a child, and he never even called his parents. Now he comes back to seek our help, but we have to Send him to die with my own hands? How can I bear it!"

Crying sounded muffled through the cloth, perhaps the man was hugging his wife in his arms to comfort him, he seemed to have made a difficult decision, and said in a harsh voice: "Seeing that Han offends someone who shouldn't be offended, there is nothing we can do. He alone, and our family, I can only choose this way."

"He left home since he was a child, and we are not very close, so you can pretend you never had this child... From now on, our only child will be Yanqi."

Weeping sounds came faintly through the door again, and the young man at the corner outside the door was stunned for a moment, and he slowly lowered his hand that was about to knock on the door, with a bewildered expression on his face, as if he was defenseless At that time, he was pushed into the cold pool of the twelfth lunar month by the people closest to him.

The biting cold almost froze the blood in his whole body, his lips were pale, and even the color of his unconsciously trembling fingertips faded away.

"Don't listen, don't look..."

Suddenly, a pair of cool hands covered his ears, and the person behind him was silent for a moment, pretending to be light and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely not let you have trouble."

There was silence all around, only faint sobs came from behind the door, and the child they defined as "not very close" finally spoke hoarsely.

"Axie, I was given up by them." The young man lowered his eyes, as if he was finally relieved, he said softly to himself, "I can't escape, you hurry up before they come..."

There was a trace of guilt in his eyes: "I'm sorry, I have troubled you."

"Yu Jianhan." The man became serious, he paused for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "Do you believe me?"

After a long silence, it was an affirmative answer.

"I believe."

The person behind leaned closer, as if giving the boy a comforting hug. He smiled lightly, with a firm and decisive tone: "Then let's run away...to a place where they can't find them."

Like the weeds standing stubbornly on the cliffs, despite despair, they still don't give up hope.

I will take you to escape.

Where Xie Chi could not see, the young man in front of him had already burst into tears and choked up silently.

it is good.
