Chapter 813: Father's Bandit's Bloody Hands of Massacre (Part 2)
When the sun shines down from the clouds, the leaves of the evergreen broad-leaved forest are still whimpering in the wind, and there are no traces of winter in the mountains. On the field in the distance, a group of teenagers were running around chasing a gray football, and the competition was fierce.
Ning Xi sat on the fallen crossbar on the hillside, watching this scene from a distance.
Martial arts flourished in the Huaxia Army. Since the Bamboo Period, a major entertainment project among employees has been the ring competition for the best master. After the Wu Rui Camp was melted and officially transformed into the Huaxia Army, each team Various internal martial arts competitions and Cuju competitions have become more abundant. The propaganda department of Zhu Ji has embedded Ning Yi's bad taste. On the one hand, it exports martial arts stories, and on the other hand, it conducts internal and external rankings of the "Top Ten" and "Top 100" masters. In order to compete for such rankings and benefits, the military has made great efforts in this regard. It was lively up and down.
Ning Xi can be considered an athlete among thirteen or fourteen-year-olds, but at this time, she was somewhat absent-minded while watching the competition in the distance.
First of all, most of his partners are in Hedeng and Jishan. Although there are a few he knows, their contacts are not close after all. Secondly, at this time, he also had troubles in his mind and had no other thoughts.
The assassination two days ago was a great shock to the young man. After the assassination, the injured junior high school student was still recovering here. My father immediately entered a busy working state again, holding meetings, cleaning up Jishan's defense forces, and at the same time beating up the outsiders who came to do business at this time.
Since his father returned to Hedeng, although he has not officially appeared in front of everyone, his whereabouts are no longer covered up too much, which may mean that Black Flag's attitude towards another confrontation with the Jurchens has become clear. The increase in the price of iron cannons in Jishan caused a commotion for a while, but since the assassination, the tightening wind and atmosphere have suppressed some of the voices.
Born in troubled times, the Jurchens searched the mountains and seas and wreaked havoc in the south of the world only a few years ago. Even though Black Flag has been dormant and depressed for two years, and even seemed to be resigned to it when it first settled in Liangshan, at this time, after the warm appearance due to business has faded a little, people will still realize at the first time that this is It's no joke that Zhi once faced forces that could shake the Jurchens in the northwest without falling behind.
But for Ning Xi, who is usually sensitive, he is not thinking about this at this time.
He became confused and didn't know how to face the injured girl for a while. After thinking about it for the past few days, he actually didn't get anything. He felt that he would be assassinated more in the future, so it was better not to fight with her. It was better to keep in touch, but for a while I felt that this would not solve the problem. In the end, I even started to worry about my brothers and sisters at home. He sat on the crossbar for a long time, and someone came towards him from a distance. The leader was his father, who had been busy for the past two days and had not had much communication with him. At this time, it seemed that the busy work had come to an end.
He stood up and saluted respectfully. Ning Yi, who came over, waved his hand, patted his shoulder and sat down on the crossbar. The last time Ning Xi and her father were separated was only nine years old. In the impression at that time, her father's figure was upright. When they reunited, they realized that her father was a kind of green forest master. He was not tall and strong in stature, but he was calm and steady. Casual, as calm as a mountain. This makes Ning Xi quite envious. If she can do this one day, maybe she won't be afraid of mere assassins.
"Actually, it's a good thing." After sitting for a moment, Ning Yi smiled and spoke.
"Huh?" Xiao Ningxi was slightly confused.
"In the past few years, I have been away from home. In order to protect you, your mother, your Hongti, Aunt Xigua, and Uncle Du have put in a lot of effort. We have already done a good job for you... ...Even your younger brothers and sisters, the possibility of encountering an accident..."
His father's calm words floated in the wind. Ning Xi just listened with confusion at first. When Ning Yi said "your younger brother and sister", he lowered his head and clenched his fists suddenly. Yi looked into the distance and didn't stop talking.
“But later on, we were relatively restrained. There were several incidents that were eliminated before they affected you. This is a good thing, but it may not be a good thing, because you have to experience these things after all. "Arrived."
After he finished speaking, Ning Xi was silent for a moment and looked up at the front: "Dad, I'm not afraid."
Ning Yi smiled. After a moment, he spoke casually.
"You will definitely take over my class." Ning Yi looked at the thirteen-year-old child next to him and touched his head. Ning Xi looked at her father, with an expression that seemed to disappoint her. He doesn't mind: "If one day you go to the battlefield with a sword and a gun, your mother and I will let you go."
When he talked about this, Ning Xi's eyes became bright and excited. In the atmosphere of the Chinese Army, the thirteen-year-old boy had already had the heroic ambition to go into battle to kill the enemy. Now that his father could say this, he felt like the world was All become wider.
Ning Yi looked at the young man's expression, and then turned around: "But life and death are valuable. My son may not become the leader of the Chinese army one day, but I hope that he can Become a responsible man for the people around you. Even if you can't take care of the entire Huaxia Army, taking care of your family, your mother, and your younger brothers and sisters is a responsibility you can't shirk."
Ning Xi held it. Fist sat there, saying nothing, lowering his head slightly.
“We all have the same essence, but the situations we face are different. A strong and wise person must learn to understand reality, acknowledge reality, and then change reality. You... At the age of thirteen, you start to have your own ideas and opinions when doing things. If you are surrounded by a group of people and treat you differently, you will feel that something is wrong..."
"I don't," the boy retorted. " Actually...I respect Uncle Du and his friends very much..."
Ning Yi pursed his lips: "Well, let's put it this way. The reality is that you are the son of Ning Yi and Su Tan'er. If someone catches you and kills you, your family will naturally be sad. It's possible Wrong decisions will be made, that's a reality..."
"I won't let them catch me"
"This is unfair to you, Xiaoke, and other children, but we will face such things. If you are not Ning Yi's child, Ning Yi will always He has a child, he is still young, he has to face this matter - there is always someone who has to face it. Hungry for their skin, depleted for their body, and confused for their actions... You have to continue to become stronger, more powerful, and wiser. When one day, you become as powerful as Uncle Du and the others, and even more powerful, you can protect them. You can also protect your younger brothers and sisters well."
Ning Xi sat there in silence.
"There are some things we can't figure out, so we can think about it slowly. Let's not talk about my brothers and sisters for now. Ning Xi, aren't you treating your friends around you a little badly?"
"Huh?" Ning Xi raised her head.
"She was injured for two days in the first year of junior high school. You didn't go see her, right?"
"I...I saw it..."
"Well, it seems to say You didn’t go..."
Ning Xi lowered her head, not wanting to say that he was pretending to be passing by and taking a look from a distance.
“I remember you were very good when you were little. When we were in Xiaocang River, you went out to play and catch rabbits. The time you broke your head? Do you remember how anxious you were in the first grade of junior high school? Later she I have always been your good friend. I haven’t seen you in a few years. You have many friends around you, but she is not the same. Okay?”
“No, she is in the first year of junior high school, after all... she is different...”
“Why is she different? Are you afraid that others will laugh at her, or at you? ?”
Ning Xi’s face turned red, Ning Yi patted the child’s shoulder, but his eyes were serious. He became solemn: "Girls are no worse than you, and she is no worse than your friends. I have told you a long time ago that people are equal. How many men like your Aunt Hongti and Aunt Xigua can do what they do? There are many female workers in Jishan's weaving industry, and there will be more in the future. As long as they can shoulder their responsibilities, they will There is no difference between you and me. You are thirteen years old and you feel awkward and don’t want your friends to follow you anymore. Have you ever thought that she would also feel embarrassed and awkward in the first year of junior high school, and she might even be ignored by you? She didn’t hurt you, but did you hurt your friend?”
"If you... no longer want her to follow you, of course you can. But you grew up together and learned martial arts with Aunt Hongti. If you can face the enemy together, you will actually be much more powerful than joining forces with others. Moreover, show your courage, she is your friend, what is there to be grudged against, you are a boy, and will be an upright man in the future, of course you are more mature than her, you are me and you Mom’s son, of course you are more mature and responsible than other children! Do you think there will be rumors, so what does it matter if you take the responsibility and marry her..."
Ning Xi’s face turned red instantly. , Ning Yi was still saying: "Your mother and I will book a baby wedding for you... Uh, okay, let's not talk about it for now."
The father and son sat there for a while, far away I saw someone coming this way, and the entourage also came to remind Ning Yi about the next itinerary. Ning Yi patted the child on the shoulder and stood up: "A man, when facing things, be magnanimous. If you can't break the situation, don't do it." It means you can't break it. It's not that difficult to do some small things."
After he finished speaking, he walked towards the distance with his entourage. When Fang Shuchang came closer, Ning Yi followed him. He sighed: "Oh, I have to worry so much about the child..." Fang Shuchang disagreed: "I think you are a bit of a mother-in-law?" In these years, the father's authority or boxing power is supreme, and it is really practical to talk to the children. It was a strange thing: "A few boys in my family were beaten when they disobeyed. They are all fine now and have nothing to worry about. And they were beaten too much." Some people around them nodded secretly.
Ning Yi curled his lips and said: "To put it lightly, these children now have so much passion in their heads. When did they go to the battlefield with their heads covered? They scared you bastard to death."
"Sooner or later, you have to practice a lot."
"Then you have to practice well before you go. Go when your brain gets hot. My wife will cry to death..."
"Brothers and sisters Very angry...but didn't you just say that if he wants to go, you should answer Respond to him..."
"Of course, hold on to your position first. One day, he will do it, at least after he is twenty years old..."
"The inner demon is really well-deserved, and he is always deceiving his son. A complete set of kidnappings.”
"More than that, I am cruel and ruthless... Death is like a lamp going out, and the sad thing is the living. I always hope that the younger generation has a greater chance of survival..."
The group of people walked forward laughing, but later in the conversation, instead, Get serious. In fact, the senior officials who have reached this stage have few relatives and friends who have died in the war. Ning Yi is ruthless and ruthless, and most of the executives around him are ruthless in doing things and calculating. They just know this. Just the price of neglect.
The adults gradually went away. After bidding farewell to her father, Ning Xi sat on the crossbar and thought about these things. A group of young people in the distance were playing football and making loud noises. After a while, several people bumped into each other. , a quarrel broke out and they started fighting each other. They must all be from military families, and they started fighting in a very aggressive manner. They fought for a while, and then were pulled away by the crowd noisily.
The thirteen-year-old boy got down from the crossbar, stretched out his hands, and breathed a long sigh of relief. He thought for a moment before starting to walk towards the city. There were two figures behind him casually. Follow up.
The sun was shining diagonally from the sky, and the boy's steps were not firm. He hesitated for a moment on the side of the city street, then walked to the market and bought a small box of sesame candies in his hand. . In this way, when he almost reached the house where he was in the first year of junior high school, someone came up from the front and greeted him with a smile. It was Uncle Wenxing who was in charge here.
"Come here to see the first graders?"
Ning Xi asked Su Wenxing to say hello. She was not embarrassed to answer this question. The uncle and nephew walked for a while while talking. When the time came to noon, Ning Xi said goodbye to Su Wenxing. , went to a nearby canteen for lunch - he was a little discouraged by this episode.
After noon, Ning Xi went to the small courtyard where Chu Yi was recuperating. The courtyard was quite quiet. Through the slightly opened window, the girl who grew up with him was lying on the bed like When he fell asleep, there was a teapot, a cup, half an orange, and a storybook with pictures on the wooden cabinet beside the bed. Min Chuyi was not very good at reading and literacy, and he preferred to listen to others talk about books, or read books with pictures. , very childish.
Ning Xi walked in, sat down by the bed, and put down the sesame candy. The girl's eyelashes on the bed trembled, then she opened her eyes and woke up. When she saw it was Ning Xi, she quickly sat up. They haven't been able to talk properly for a while. The girl was very embarrassed, and Ning Xi was also slightly embarrassed. She stammered and scratched her head from time to time. The two of them had a "difficult" communication.
After returning from Jishan and climbing together, the relationship between the two was as good as before. Ning Xi became more cheerful than before. It didn’t take long before her martial arts cooperation with Chu Yi was greatly improved. There is progress.
The days in Hedeng were far from leisurely. After coming back, a lot of things came to Ning Yi's side. In the two years since he left, Huaxia Army has been doing the work of "de-Ningyi". The main reason is to hope that the division of labor in the entire structure will be more reasonable. After he comes back, it does not mean that he will be able to put aside the entire stall. There will be many deeper adjustments and integrations. He still had to do it well. But no matter what, he could finally see his wife and children every day, occasionally eating together, occasionally sitting in the sun and watching the children play and grow...
Many years have passed. During this period, the wives have also undergone various changes. Tan'er is more mature. Sometimes the two of them will work together, chat, immerse themselves in reading documents, and the moment they look up at each other and smile, his wife and he are more like the same person. .
Xiaochan is in charge of family affairs, but her personality gradually becomes quieter. She is a woman with a not strong personality. Over the years, she has been worried about Tan'er, who is like a sister, worried about her husband, and also Worried about her children and family, her temperament became slightly melancholy. Her joy seemed more like it was changing with her family. She was always worried, but also easily satisfied. Only in the moment of getting along with Ning Yi in private, she smiled carefree, and she could see the somewhat confused girl with two ponytails swaying in the past.
Yunzhu has become more demure and gentle. Time has settled on her like water, and she can always infect others. She taught her children and wrote some things. She used to live in the small building by the river. She was young and embarrassed and wanted to try to return to the damaged world of her childhood. Now, her tenacity and gentleness are finally here. It settled on her, she took care of the children at home, raised Xiaochan shared some things. In the past, Tan'er and Hongti worked too late, so she would always carry things over and tell them to go home early. If the former official lady had not experienced the loss of her family, one day, maybe It will gradually become what it is today.
Only Jin'er is still jumping up and down, like a female warrior who refuses to stop.
There are also Hongti, who has a gentle personality, Xigua, who works hard for the cause of "democracy", and Juan'er, who works as a secretary beside Ning Yi...
Sometimes Ning Yi takes time to think about it, and occasionally he thinks of that period of his life. After coming here, I originally wanted to live a simple life, but I ended up in this busy and busy situation. But this situation is somewhat different from the busy life of the past. He thought of the beautiful wind and sunshine in Jiangning, or the soft heavy rain that covered the world at that time, the people walking inside and outside the courtyard, the red walls and black tiles, the bewildered girl, such beautiful voices, and the Qinhuai River There are chess stalls, small buildings, and old people setting up chess stalls. Everything eventually passed away like flowing water.
Everything will eventually pass away like water, but he cannot calculate clearly how long it will be until the future where he can stop.
Messages from the outside world are also constantly coming.
Just as the behemoth Black Flag woke up in the mountains and slowly stretched its body, in the Central Plains, the hungry ghost forces led by Wang Shitong finally rolled up a huge wave and set off a huge tsunami. disaster.
Since August, Wang Shitong drove away the "hungry ghosts" and began a war to siege cities and plunder lands north of the Yellow River. At this time, the autumn harvest had just passed, and the food was relatively abundant. The "hungry ghosts" let go of their last restraint. Under the trend of hunger and despair, more than 100,000 hungry ghosts began to attack nearby areas. They sacrificed a lot of money to The price was to capture the city, plunder the food, burn the whole city to the ground after the robbery, and the people who lost their homes were immediately involved in the army of hungry ghosts.
In two months, the hungry ghosts attacked eight towns, large and small, north of the Yellow River, destroying all the cities and killing countless people. Pingdong General Li Xizhi sent an army of 50,000 to try to drive away the hungry ghosts. However, under the continuous attack of the swollen group of hungry ghosts, the army was crushed by the sea of hungry people.
The person in charge of the Black Flag Army staying in the North had another private negotiation with Wang Shitong, trying to make the last effort, but it was meaningless.
The crazy ghost king was thinking about his original intention, and the ever-expanding group of victims spread along the Yellow River, and then crossed the river. By this time, the snow had begun to fall.
The victims captured relatively few towns, looted and looted them, lit fires, warmed themselves in the fires, and then gradually died of cold and starvation in the heavy snow. No one knew that this After the heavy snow, how many corpses will rot on both sides of the Yellow River.
The natural disaster delayed this man-made disaster, and the hungry ghosts shivered in the cold and died in large numbers. Among them, there may be some who will not die, and they are waiting for recovery in the coming year under the white snow.
To the north, the knight carrying the iron rod crossed Yanmen Pass and walked in the heavy snow of the Kingdom of Jin.
Shi Jin, the "Eight-Armed Dragon King" of Chifeng Mountain and the former "Nine-Patterned Dragon", was recovering from his injuries and disbanded all the remaining forces of Chifeng Mountain and embarked on a journey alone.
He is not good at intrigues between people. After the internal strife in Chifeng Mountain collapsed and he lost to Lin Zongwu, he finally became confused about the way forward. He once participated in Zhou Tong's assassination of Nianhan, and only then did he understand the insignificance of personal power. However, the experience in Chifeng Mountain clearly told him that he was not good at being a leader. With the chaos in Zezhou, maybe the one from Black Flag was the one. A hero who can truly stir up the world, but Liangshan's past also prevents him from coming in this direction.
My life is not worth much anymore... He thought like this and returned to Zhou Tong's road.
Then go to the Kingdom of Jin to assassinate Nianhan.
At this time, ten long years have passed since Zhou Tong assassinated Nianhan.
Along the way north, he also met several fellow travelers. A slippery man named Fang Chengye had a very pleasant conversation with him. However, not long after they walked together, he was approaching Yanmen Pass and the other party also left. .
——Fang Chengye was somewhat confused.
He planned the chaos against the Tiger King in Zezhou, and later reunited with his master Ning Yi. Ning Yi gave him two directions. First, when the hungry ghost army has experienced enough wars, Try to kill Wang Shitong and take over the hungry ghost. Secondly, help Jiuwenlong rebuild Chifeng Mountain. Nowadays, the hungry ghosts are raging with ferocious flames, and it seems that they are really out of control. It is not known how many people will be left alive after the snow disaster. Jiu Wenlong has given up and will die alone. These things also made him really at a loss.
At the same time, in the small government office in Wozhou, a man named Mu Yi was enjoying a rare and comfortable life. He had a wife and a son, and his son was growing up slowly.
“It would be great if I could live like this forever.”
He often said this.
In Xixia, a Mongolian general named Chi Laowen led an army that collided three times with the Jin army led by Shu Liesu on the border of the Jin Kingdom. The Mongolian cavalry came and went like the wind, and the Jin Kingdom also tried what they just did. After the cannons were installed and the two sides fought cautiously, the Mongols finally gave up their attempt to attack the Kingdom of Jin.
Even the warlike Mongols are not willing to bite hard bones before they are truly strong.
Xixia has perished, and the only options left in front of them are to march westward or to the southeast.
Wu Jianshuo’s eight-year winter has gradually passed. On New Year’s Eve, Lin’an City is full of lights, singing and dancing. The sky-high fireworks embellish the city in the heavy snow, making it very lively. Hedeng, thousands of miles away, is a piece of sunshine. fine weather God, it was a rare good day. Ning Yi took some time to go shopping for a long time with his family and a group of children. Ning Ning and Ning Shuang, two three-year-old little girls, scrambled to climb on his shoulders. The children around were noisy and it was such a warm scene.
After this day, they will be one year older.
In the ninth year of Jianshuo's reign, it rolled over everyone's heads...
OK, the curtain opens.
