Miao Jiangke

Qi Cheng specially bought a yard in Jianzong for Zuo Qingyue. Although the whereabouts of the young master of Miao Jiang are uncertain, he would come over occasionally to have a look.

Zuo Qingyue ordered Qiu Yangui to go to clean up first, and stayed in the study to discuss the matter with Qi Cheng, Qiu Yangui retreated wisely, since it was related to the sect Xinmi, it was naturally inconvenient for him to follow the young master.

"What are you hesitating for?" Zuo Qingyue looked up at him, his eyes were slightly cold, "Elder Zheng only asks you to save a chance for the Zheng family, and now you are the most benevolent."

"Why, you still think about your useless morality when disaster is imminent?"

Qi Cheng's expression was slightly gloomy, but he wasn't looking at Zuo Qingyue, "...I know that what Qingyue said is right, I was stupid."

He let out a breath, and his brows relaxed. Qi Cheng is open-minded and upright, and these matters of love for children can't bother him, and he will understand after a little thought.

The house fell silent.

"Qingyue..." Qi Cheng glanced at Qingyue's face on the left, carefully probing his words, and said carefully, "You came from the direction of Xunlong Mountain and passed through the ancient town, you must have met the second elder..."

Zuo Qingyue's movements were slightly stiff, and he put down the teacup without saying a word, he lowered his head abnormally, and stopped playing with the silver bell.

Qi Cheng sighed in his heart, and murmured in a low voice, "Qingyue, why is this so?"

"Why is this so..." Zuo Qingyue smiled self-deprecatingly, with some gloom hidden in his eyes, "Mother's hometown is here, and my father's soul returns to my hometown, how dare I go and disturb her with a dirty body."

Qi Cheng frowned, "This was not your original intention, not to mention why you didn't go to meet them since you already went, you clearly..."

"Clearly what? Qi Cheng, why don't you dare to tell me now... The deceased is gone, and the grief is changing?" Zuo Qingyue didn't raise his eyes, but he said every word to his heart, "Why don't you dare to say, they Died of Gu poison, and I—recognize the thief as my father."

"I'm covered in poison, and I'm known as the 'Gu King' by everyone in the world. What should I use to meet them?"

His words were not too intense, and he was so cold that he couldn't hear his emotions, but it made Qi Cheng speechless, and he picked up the teacup in despondency.

In the quiet room, Zuo Qingyue slowly raised his head, there was no smile in the sparkling and clear peach eyes, only the loneliness that was struggling out of emptiness and confusion.

"...But I actually saw it. I hid behind a tree under the arch bridge and took a look from a distance." His voice was a little hoarse, and it was rare to show a little fragility.

"Qingyue, it's not your fault."

"Enough." Zuo Qingyue whispered, "I don't want to hear it."

----

Ten years ago——

Miao Jiangdong prays, Zuofu.

At that time, the Zuo surname was dominant in Miaojiang, and internal strife and disputes continued. From the beginning, the left branch of the Zuo family split into various factions, and new blood continued to be injected, and the situation was chaotic.

Zuo Qingyue's father is a collateral lineage, but Zuo's father has no intention of seizing power. While traveling around the world, he met a bosom friend in an ancient town and sincerely agreed to give birth to Lin'er.

He did not return to Miaojiang, and 13 years passed in a flash.

Zuo Qingyue had a beautiful appearance when he was young, and he was very lovable. The family enjoyed themselves happily, but it's a pity that they had no intention of seizing power, and they couldn't get out of it.

The civil strife in Miaojiang was pacified, but what followed was the disaster of killing one's life. The patriarch of Zuofu's branch was ambitious, and he was incompatible with the current patriarch of Miaojiang. In the end, he was one step behind.

Now only Zuofu's line is left of this side branch.

The patriarch ordered to kill, even if he did not return home for 13 years, he would not escape the catastrophe. Zuo father had no choice but to flee all the way with his wife and children. Xiao Qingyue's appearance was too conspicuous, so he was forced to wear a mask.

At the end of the road, he fled into the wild forest.

"Xiaoyue, Xiaoyue..." The gentle and beautiful mother is now ashamed, hiding him behind a hidden thorn, touching his face, tears can't stop flowing, "Hide well and don't come out Sound, don’t come out if you see anything!”

The mother tried hard to attack him, but she couldn't bear it no matter what, she finally kissed his eyebrows, "Daddy and mother can't accompany you anymore, please be good in the future, put on your mask... you will come out from here tomorrow morning , all the way to the south, Beiyu Qi's family, look for Uncle Qi, do you understand?"

At that time, Zuo Qingyue was already thirteen, and he was able to peek at his immature face. He was smart since he was young, so he naturally understood where he was going. He held his mother's hand and said, "Mother, take me with you." ..."Let's go together.

Mother, I don't want to be alone.

"Yu'er, it's too late!" A tall man hurried over and gave Zuo Qingyue a hug, "Xiao Yue, live well, we are always by your side, don't be afraid."

The embrace was generous and warm, but the warmth dissipated immediately, and the two figures hurried away in the child's clear eyes, one tall and reliable, the other gentle and moving.

They were originally envious of others, and they were a perfect match.

The deserted forest is very large and becomes more and more quiet.

Suddenly, Zuo Qingyue raised his head in a daze, his pupils shrank suddenly.

Flying birds startled in the sky in the distance, the loud noises were menacing, screams and roars were endless, Zuo Qingyue trembled, and subconsciously got up to rush, but at this moment——

"You bastards!" The roar almost broke through the sky, it was the voice of the father, screaming with despair.

"Ah Qing—" Mother's voice was sharp, like a wild goose being cornered.

Zuo Qingyue was startled suddenly, he subconsciously wanted to rush out, but remembering his parents' instructions, he could only grit his teeth and shrink back, covering his ears in horror, his body trembling uncontrollably.

But it didn't help at all, those voices tormented him everywhere, after an unknown amount of time, the wild forest had already been plunged into darkness, and the heavy breath of the beast seemed to be cruising around, and then slowly left.

Accompanied by a cock crowing, Zuo Qingyue slowly put down his already stiff hands, the voices rushed into his ears, his originally clear eyes dimmed, he looked up at the gray sky, and slowly stood up.

He didn't walk south, but walked forward slowly. After walking for an unknown amount of time, Zuo Qingyue finally stopped and clenched his fists tightly.

He knelt on the ground and moved step by step, unable to make a sound even crying bitterly.

It was a mess, the strange corpses on the outside had been eaten by wild beasts, and he was very familiar with the two hugging people in the middle. He once sat on his father's shoulder watching the lanterns, and lay in his mother's arms. sleep soundly.

And there they are.

Silently.

Zuo Qingyue was dizzy, almost vomiting blood, knelt beside them, and touched them carefully, it was cold and stiff, as if he was frightened, he withdrew his hand helplessly.

"Ah..." He uttered a meaningless syllable hoarsely, all the heart-piercing syllables were choked in his throat, he couldn't make a sound, he could only forcefully spit out two syllables with his breath, "Daddy... ...mother..."

Their faces were covered in blood, but...

"Xiao Yue, don't cry!"

The last time he cried his nose, his mother pinched his face and smiled brightly, and his father embraced them, and also leaned over to kiss the tip of his nose.

Xiao Qingyue blushed at first, and buried herself in her mother's arms shyly, then quickly poked her head out and kissed her father, making the two adults amused.

But now, no more.

He suppressed his grief, and walked to a quiet place with his dear ones on his back. Zuo Qingyue knew that the journey was far away, and he couldn't take his parents with him.

So he pulled out his father's saber, tried to dig out a place, buried them in the wild forest for the time being, and then went to Beiyu alone. Slowly, those clear eyes were stained with blood of hatred.

Wandering all the way, when his clothes were ragged and his body was covered with injuries, he finally arrived at Qi's house.

That was the first thing Zuo Qingyue said when he saw Uncle Qi.

"I have to go back to Miaojiang in the future and wash Dongqi with blood."
