Chapter 1240: Thirty Years of Raising a Son and the End
The world flies by, and ten years pass in the blink of an eye.
For a martial arts master, ten years is just a matter of the blink of an eye. It can take decades or hundreds of years for a casual enlightenment or retreat, but for the small town of Baima, it is It was extremely long,
so long that a group of naked children have now grown up. A group of young people back then had already gotten married and went out with their families. Even Lao Zhang, who sells sesame cakes, has also reached middle age and has long hair. There is more white silk.
The white horse statue outside the town is even more dilapidated, and the houses in the town have been repaired many times and are no longer what they used to be.
The 28-year-old daughter-in-law of the Chen family, a migrant who was famous throughout the town for her beauty, is now a woman in her late thirties. However, her elegance is still there and her appearance is still the same, except that her skin is rougher and more attractive.
Moreover, he has already become familiar with the people in the town. He does as the locals do, and his shrewd temperament is evident. He has also been a matchmaker several times and taught children to read. He is an all-rounder.
"Where did the head of your family go today?"
In Chunlan Bufang, Bai Susu, who was dressed in green and with a graceful figure, was cutting clothes with several women. A familiar woman suddenly asked.
Bai Susu spat after hearing this: "Who knows where this smelly guy has gone, maybe he went fishing, or maybe he went to watch someone play chess."
Sister-in-law Huifang wiped the needle on her hair, sighed and said: "Sister Susu, you have a hard life. You said you have this appearance, this knowledge, and your background. Why did you find a freeloader and idle guy?" ..."
Looking at Bai Susu's cold expression, she quickly said: "Sister, I don't mean any harm, I just feel sorry for you. You see, my child's father is not very capable and always does something. Working as a bricklayer helps support the family.
The head of your family is young and does nothing. You have to do laundry, cook and take care of him alone. What is the difference between this and having a father? "< br>
Aunt Guifen on the side also said: "I don’t know how the head of your family looks. He is supposed to be thirty years old, but he still looks like a young boy. His face is as handsome as a woman’s, and he has a beard." If he doesn’t grow one, I’ll look at the widows nearby and look at him differently.”
Bai Susu’s eyes became sharp: “Which widows? Let me tell you, I tore them apart.” ”
Guifen knew she had said the wrong thing, so she quickly laughed: "Then what..."
Huifang said curiously: "By the way, Sister Susu, why don't you have children? Seeing how old you are. "If I don't give birth to a son and a half, how can I rely on him in the future?"
When it comes to this topic, Bai Susu seems to have lost all her strength and is completely confused. It has been ten years, and there is nothing. ...
"King Ma captured the Sishui Kingdom, controlled the ten major festivals, occupied an area of 90,000 miles, and had 480,000 mercenaries. He called himself the Overlord of Southern Chu, and there was no enemy in the four directions... ”
“Prime Minister Helan of Zhao State, a big country in the bitter cold north, gathered the armies of Zhao, Qi, Jiang, and Bai. They entered Hanshui Pass and sat down at Baihe Ridge. He looked at the world and had ambitions to compete for supremacy...”
"The Governor of the Warring States Period led his troops to attack the Kingdom of Hundred Flowers, with the ambition to win over the Three Kingdoms..."
"His Majesty the Feng Kingdom personally marched..."
On the street in the distance, another call came from the commander. That rough voice reported the world's major events every day. It was said that this was the order of the pavilion chief, which meant that everyone should squat at home and know what was happening outside and how many years were left before peace.
It’s a pity that everyone doesn’t understand. Isn’t this all the business of big shots?
"As long as those soldiers don't hit us, long live the blessing." Sister-in-law Huifang curled her lips.
The proprietress of Chunlan Bufang is a knowledgeable person and said with a smile: "I heard from my cousin that our Dakang country is a neutral country. Whoever wins and our Dakang country surrenders, the soldiers and ruffians will definitely not be able to attack us."
All the women breathed a sigh of relief and sighed, and then the topic turned to Bai Susu: "Sister, the head of your family..."
"Stop talking, the head of my family is doing big things. Yes, you don’t understand at all. Also, who said we can’t give birth to children? I’ll give birth to a lot of them in the past few years to show you..."
Bai Susu became more energetic and took up the needle and thread. basket and strode away.
The group of women looked at each other in confusion.
...
Xin Zhuo was watching people playing chess under the old locust tree in the center of the town. The so-called watching chess without saying anything, he just watched and never said anything, because he never looked seriously.
It is impossible for his appearance to change, but in order to prevent others from being confused, some subtle changes were made.
Looking at the sky at this moment, he murmured: "Ten years have passed, and you have finally made progress..."
"Chen, come home with me!"
< br>
Suddenly, a voice came from the distance, even though it was fierce and aggressive, it was still a bit cowardly and sweet.
A group of old men playing chess suddenly looked up at Xin Zhuo and laughed with gloating.
Xin Zhuo is also a little numb. This Bai Susu is a real mortal. She is really real. She cannot have the perception and mood of a cultivating woman. She has flesh and blood and a temper. She has been influenced by a group of local women day and night. She has already become a mature woman. She married an ordinary rural woman who looked after her husband and took care of the family. She was pretty at best.
Not only does she have a temper, but she can also get into small tempers. Moreover, the two of them have become too familiar in the past ten years. Once her temper rises, she will not respect him. However, it is impossible for him to use any of the things a warrior should do to her. She couldn't bear the pressure or shock.
So, life has developed in strange directions in these years.
"Ah, that..." Xin Zhuo turned and left.
Bai Susu chased after her with a rolling pin: "Chen, don't leave. I've tolerated you for a long time."
"Let's talk about it when we go home!"
Xin Zhuo walked calmly, one step at a time. He knew that Bai Susu's temper would not last long.
Sure enough, when she got home, Bai Susu's anger was gone, she threw away the rolling pin and was alone in a daze.
Xin Zhuo sat aside and drank tea silently.
Bai Susu suddenly stood up, picked up the footbath, poured warm water, took off his shoes for him, and gently washed his feet.
Xin Zhuo looked down at Bai Susu's slender neck, increasingly graceful figure, and the unique charm of a thirty-year-old woman, but her hands were no longer white and tender, with more calluses, and coughed lightly: "During the day There's no need to wash it."
Bai Susu said in a low voice: "I checked my pulse with Dr. Li, and she said there was nothing wrong with me. She said that based on your appearance, there should be nothing wrong with you either. It might be in the kidneys. Yes, foot washing can activate the kidneys."
Xin Zhuo suddenly realized, is this why you insisted on washing my feet every day for seven years? In addition, my kidneys are already innately equipped with the Seven Evils Guishui, which is ridiculously powerful.
I washed my feet and wiped them clean.
Bai Susu closed the door and window, and pulled Xin Zhuo involuntarily, skillfully and making people feel distressed: "Today is the first fourteen days!"
Then, with the skills he has practiced for ten years, he is very skilled, Moreover, today was particularly energetic, and the aura of a superior person was fully evident.
A full hour.
Bai Susu lay in Xin Zhuo's arms, already sobbing: "What's wrong? What's wrong? Why do I have no children? I'm almost thirty years old..."
Xin Zhuo frowned and silently looked at the sea of clouds outside the window. He felt a little ridiculous.
This human calamity is absurd, my attempt this time is absurd, Bai Susu is absurd, and I am even more absurd...
"Okay, let's try more if we don't have children..." Bai Susu looked up and looked up. He has long lost the young lady look he once had, and only has the expectations of a country woman. "Master, can you do something? Others don't know your ability, but I know you are a capable person." "
The mysterious awe of Xin Zhuo and the scene of Xin Zhuo's heaven-defying conversation with the Lord of Helan City have long been worn away by the years, leaving only confusion.
Xin Zhuo obviously couldn't say anything to her. He shook his head and joked: "That's impossible. I won't do anything, so you have to support me. You asked for it, you paid for it."
"Woo..."
Bai Susu cried.
Xin Zhuo immediately comforted: "Don't panic, the nineteen countries outside are all under control. Do you still remember the political affairs, leadership, and control of people I taught you over the years?"
Bai Susu's eyes were filled with tears. He raised his head vaguely: "Remember, learn these to the end What are you going to do?” Queen Mother, it’s your choice.”
Bai Susu looked at him blankly for a while, and suddenly cried louder: "Master, why do you like to brag like the old bachelors in the town? Will you die if you don't brag?"
Xin Zhuo: " ..."
"Woo woo woo..."
Bai Susu hugged his neck tightly and cried heartbreakingly.
……
At this moment, millions of miles away from the Nineteen Kingdoms, a fierce formation has been formed, like a trapped beast, targeting only one person.
Jue Wuxin, who loves drinking, is in Zhengxi.
The bald golden cymbal is in the south.
Sun Zhiyuan is in the true north.
A Tian, Lao Xie and other ten ancient emperors traveled between heaven and earth.
To them, ten years is just a blink of an eye.
It’s just that they are more curious about Xin Zhuo’s plan. They have a hunch that Xin Zhuo is doing something, which must be of great benefit to his cultivation.
Otherwise, he would not have been able to hide out for ten years.
They can afford to wait.
The big bosses of the major ancient forces in the Central Region can also afford to wait, and they are becoming more and more curious.
...
Another fifteen years have passed by in a blink of an eye. The white horse statue outside the town has been repainted. The streets in the town are larger and there are many new faces. This is the time when the men who went out to serve as soldiers have returned home from the army and brought their wives and children with them.
It is said that the war is almost over.
Originally, the Nineteen Kingdoms were in a melee, and seven of the nine most powerful and powerful kings had been killed in the battle. Now, the Nineteen Kingdoms are a million miles away, and two people are playing a game——
The overlord of Southern Chu, who was born in the refugee uprising, occupied nine kingdoms, hundreds of thousands of miles of land, millions of people under his command, and swallowed millions of miles like a tiger.
Prime Minister Helan of Zhao State also occupies the land of the Nine Kingdoms, hundreds of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and has countless wolf-like and tiger-like soldiers under his command, including many martial arts immortals and sorcerers.
Once the winner is determined between the two, the world will be at peace.
However, the people of Baima Town are not interested in this. They only care about things they care about, such as the funeral of Lao Zhang, who sells sesame cakes today.
That’s right! The old man who sold sesame seed cakes, Zhang, had been a bachelor all his life. He was only fifty-six years old. He suffered from tuberculosis and had no one to take care of him. He died a few days ago, and the town paid for his funeral.
The funeral procession passed by the middle of the street, and the onlookers were in mourning. In front of a short courtyard on the street, a figure wearing an apron stood.
Bai Susu is forty-four years old this year. It is impossible for anyone in the town to call her a beautiful little wife anymore. Although her charm is still there, her eyes are still bright, and her figure is convex, because she has never given birth to a child, she looks She looks like a woman in her thirties, but her beauty is still gone. Her hands are rough, there are more crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, and her cheekbones are even a little higher.
The little wife has long since become the aunt of the Chen family.
After the funeral procession passed, Bai Susu returned to the room silently, looking at the head of the family who had not gone anywhere today and was standing by the window in a daze. His hair had more white silk, his body was straight, and he looked more graceful and charming.
I hugged him silently from behind, leaned my cheek against him, and murmured: "Master, after a hundred years, you should leave first."
Xin Zhuo: "?"
He was savoring the state of his endless energy refining the world, and suddenly he couldn't recover.
Bai Susu explained to herself: "We have no children and no one to take care of us until we die. You don't know how to behave, you don't have many friends, and you don't know how to do laundry, cooking or housework. If I leave first, who will Take care of you, don't be afraid of being swept away with grass Just bury him, it's better than Lao Zhang.
If you leave first, I will take care of your funeral affairs neatly, then guard your grave, drink medicine and commit suicide, and go to accompany you..."< br>
As he said that, he was moved first and burst into tears.
This is the most selfless and truest portrayal of an ordinary woman's life. Her parents, uncle, and children are all gone long ago.
Children? It has been more than 20 years since I wanted it, and now that I am old and yellow, I am afraid it will be difficult.
She has only one man in her life, and this man is everything to her.
Now, even if Xin Zhuo explains the truth, she won't believe a word. She doesn't even believe that Xin Zhuo has any ability. If he has the ability, he will do nothing for more than 20 years. , just eat and wait to die? Half of his body was buried in the loess.
Xin Zhuo suddenly hesitated. He realized that he had dug a trap for himself. He was just doing an experiment, but in the end he couldn't let go of this beautiful girl who had come from troubled times to accompany him to endure hardships. Finally turned into a yellow-faced woman.
Looking back at the middle-aged woman who was crying again and again, he stretched out his hand to touch her face that already had wrinkles and freckles, and sighed softly: "It's almost there, there are still a few years."
Bai Susu cried loudly: "Will your husband be leaving in a few years?"
This is the first time she calls her husband. This is the proper title for a wealthy family, provided that the head of the family is about to die.
Xin Zhuo: "?"
Bai Susu held him tightly: "No, we have agreed to close our eyes together if we want to leave. It doesn't matter who leaves first."
Xin Zhuo sighed softly: "Let's raise a child."
This was the result of his careful consideration. An adopted son is also a son, and he doesn't know how much karma he will bear.
Bai Susu raised her head, with a trace of hope and motivation to live in her eyes: "Can it be done?"
"Yes!"
......
Three years later, the war outside is still raging, and the outcome is unpredictable.
Xin Zhuo brought back an infant boy who suffered a military disaster and lost all his family members from outside. He named him Chen Bucheng. This name has no special meaning. If you have to explain it...
"Chen" is the surname Xin Zhuo made nonsense of back then.
"Not acknowledging" means not acknowledging all the causes and effects of Xin Zhuo.
Yes, this child has no martial arts talent, not even a little bit.
Bai Susu, who is nearly 50 years old, regards her child as a precious baby, taking care of her with all kinds of care, and finally a smile appears on her face,
Okay, now we will take care of the old and the young together, and we will also make money. Raising a family is hard work beyond words.
However, it was the happiest time in her life.
Another two years.
Chen Buchengxu is three years old. He is already running around and swaying at an age, and he can speak very clearly.
dusk.
Bai Susu dragged her exhausted body and took Chen Bucheng home, and saw Xin Zhuo sitting in front of the courtyard gate looking at the sky in a daze.
"Dad..."
Chen Bucheng trotted into Xin Zhuo's arms, drooling all over Xin Zhuo's sleeve.
Xin Zhuo's mood was particularly complicated when he called "Dad", and he patted Chen Bucheng on the head: "Be good!"
"What happened today?" Bai Susu asked cautiously.
The head of the house loves to be in a daze, but he never sits in front of the courtyard gate in a daze.
"The day is coming, and all the brothers in the live broadcast room have been waiting impatiently. If it doesn't end, I'm afraid those supremes will jump up and scold me."
Xin Zhuo said casually that Bai Susu didn't understand, But I listened to what I was used to.
Bai Susu rolled her eyes at him and was about to speak when she noticed that Xin Zhuo raised his eyebrows, looked in one direction, and waved her hand to send her and the child into the room. It was terrifying that she was out of strength.
"There is definite news that my sister was imprisoned in Wugui Mountain by Helan Lingshan, Bahuang Pavilion, Qiyuan Sect, Qingshan Ancient Sect, and Feng Family!"
"Why did she want to massacre the entire Feng Family? ? Still unwilling to let go of the hatred from back then? "
"Uncle's words... …Sister, can you let it go?”
“These families have a close relationship with Sandi Island. I, the Tantai family, can’t talk about it at all. It’s a great blessing that the Tantai family is not involved.”
“My sister is using an ancient Buddha body!”
Following two voices, two figures, a man and a woman, walked into the town.
Tantai Lianyu and Tantai Lake Mirror.
With their cultivation levels, they took a quick glance and noticed Xin Zhuo, who was inexplicably older. Then with a subtle look on his face, he pretended not to know, walked towards an old noodle shop, and disappeared in the noodle shop in the blink of an eye.
When he reappeared, he was hundreds of miles away.
Tantai Hujian's expression changed drastically, and his face was covered with sweat: "It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. We will talk about Xun'er's matter later. I will go back first."
The figure flashed and disappeared without a trace.
Tantai Lianyu's face was also pale. She knew very well what it meant to see that person here. Over the years, the entire Central Territory had kept secrets and was just waiting to see what happened in this million-mile world.
There are countless great powers and ancestors.
The thirteen ancient emperors and ancestors are murderous.
This matter is related to Taiyi, the foreign race, more than a dozen ancient emperors and that one. It can be said to be the most dangerous place in the world!
Who dares to stay here?
After a moment of silence, her eyes were as bright as water, and she headed straight to the west.
……
White Horse Town.
In front of the small courtyard, Xin Zhuo sat cross-legged without moving, and his face returned to calm. He just stretched out two fingers, pressed them on the ground, and murmured: "Come to Kangguo Baima Town to meet me!"< br>
Then he got up and walked into the small courtyard.
......
Millions of miles between heaven and earth, suddenly there was a storm.
The army of the Overlord of Southern Chu and Prime Minister Helan of Zhao State, who were fighting endlessly, suddenly ran side by side towards a place.
In the sky, the colorful rays of true energy are shooting into the sky thousands of miles away, and there are faint warriors flying over.
All eyes are focused on Baima Town.
