Chapter 49
The boatman's voice "Zhi Ruo" was beyond Meng Xiuyuan's expectations.
"Sir, take the liberty to ask, what is your surname?" Meng Xiuyuan couldn't help asking.
"Engong's words are heavy, and the little one's surname is Zhou." Although the boatman did not know why Meng Xiuyuan asked this question, he immediately replied very respectfully.
Seeing this from afar, Meng Xiu took a deep breath and frowned slightly.
Immediately, a little girl of the same age as Xiao Zhao Min, who was also eight or nine years old, came out of the cabin.
Although the girl was dressed plainly, she was as beautiful as her mother.And what's even more rare is that at a young age, but with a smart mind, just after listening to her father shouted such a sentence, she had already figured out the situation when she came out.
I saw that he walked straight to Meng Xiuyuan and Miss Yang, bowed properly, and said in a tender and soft voice:
"Zhou Zhiruo has met two benefactors, thank you for saving my mother."
"It's easy, it doesn't have to be like this, go find your parents." Meng Xiuyuan picked him up and sent him back to the Duke and his wife's side, and said lightly.
The girl hid in the cabin for so long, and she was always frightened. Hearing what Meng Xiuyuan said, she felt relieved, and Ruyan threw herself into her mother's arms as if she had returned to her nest.
After all, it is a child, and as soon as it arrives in his mother's arms, his emotions are released.That little Zhou Zhiruo and her mother had just whispered a few words, but they couldn't help crying, and her pretty little face instantly turned into a little cat.
Seeing this, her mother remembered that she was almost separated from her daughter for eternity just now, and she also had a relationship with her. While wiping her daughter's face with her sleeve, she also shed tears at the same time.
It didn't take long for the mother and daughter to cry together.
The two girls beside Meng Xiuyuan had different expressions when they saw this situation.
Xiao Zhao Min first stared at the mother and daughter for a while, her nose twitched a little, and she also wanted to cry a little bit. Thinking that she had been kidnapped for so long, she felt homesick.
But in the end, she still held back her tears, pouted her lips in disdain, snorted, and turned her head to one side to stop looking at Zhou Zhiruo and her daughter.He even muttered "Han women are weak and cry at every turn", completely forgetting that he had just cried on the shore.
And Miss Yang subconsciously clenched Meng Xiuyuan's hand slightly, and murmured enviously:
"It would be great if my mother was still there."
Although the voice was small, the sadness in the words always lingered in Meng Xiuyuan's ears.
Meng Xiuyuan didn't know how to comfort people, so he just sat quietly, secretly using his internal energy, and pouring a little more pure yang qi into Miss Yang's body to warm her chills that were blown by the river wind. body of.
……
The river was surging, and everyone in the boat had their own concerns, so time passed very quickly, and before they knew it, they had reached the other side.
Afterwards, the three of them landed, and Zhou Zhiruo's family of three followed, and they kowtowed and knelt again on the shore to thank them for saving their lives.
Meng Xiuyuan looked at this poor, but at least temporarily complete family of three in front of him, and couldn't help but move in his heart.
In any case, Zhou Zhiruo's original path of misery and luck coexisted, but now he has inadvertently changed it.According to this development, she should not have the chance to join the Emei faction, or even become the head of Emei in the future. She can only be a weak woman with no strength, struggling to survive in this chaotic world at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.
Just like her parents, they obviously have good aptitudes, but they don't have a platform for development, so they can only do nothing for a lifetime, even if it's just two ordinary Yuan soldiers with malicious intentions, they can make their ordinary life immediately fall. into hell.
Of course, it is not without advantages, at least she will have a happy childhood with both parents alive.
Meng Xiuyuan did not know whether such a silent change of fate was fair to Zhou Zhiruo.
In the world of martial arts, there may be no clear cause and effect.But the fourteen volumes of the Golden Book, each of which emphasized the concept of "God's will in the dark", made Meng Xiuyuan dare not look down upon it.
Moreover, even if he didn't talk about these mysterious and mysterious things, and only said that he did things with conscience, Meng Xiuyuan couldn't help but think more.
Under the impression of the original book and TV series in the previous life, he could not pretend to turn a blind eye to the things he already knew, and treat Zhou Zhiruo as just a common boat girl he met this week.
After pondering for a while, Meng Xiuyuan finally made up his mind. He lifted Xiao Zhiruo and pulled her to face him.
"Little girl, I ask you an important thing, you answer me one by one, don't lie, okay?" Meng Xiuyuan asked in a gentle voice.
When Zhou Zhiruo was first lifted up by Meng Xiuyuan, her expression was a little flustered, apparently because she was somewhat afraid of life in the face of Meng Xiuyuan, the masked man.But as soon as their eyes met, she was attracted by Meng Xiuyuan's gentle and handsome eyes, she relaxed, nodded and replied seriously:
"Okay, benefactor, I must answer honestly."
Meng Xiu saw this and continued to say slowly:
"Then let me ask you, if you are asked to choose, do you want to stay away from your parents, join the martial arts sect, practice martial arts, or stay with your parents and be an ordinary person?
There are pros and cons to both options, but I don't have time to talk about it at the moment, you just have to think about it for yourself. "
When Meng Xiuyuan said these words, everyone present was very surprised.The most excited were Zhou Zhiruo's parents, who immediately opened their mouths to say something, but was forced back by Meng Xiuyuan's gaze.
What he wanted to hear was Zhou Zhiruo's own choice.
Eight or nine-year-old Zhou Zhiruo may not be able to figure out this complicated issue, but after all, it involves her own destiny and should not be decided by others.
And Zhou Zhiruo didn't hesitate for too long. After a while, she said to Meng Xiuyuan:
"Eunuch, I still want to stay by my father and mother's side..."
Xiao Zhiruo seemed to be afraid that her answer would make Meng Xiuyuan unhappy, and the more she spoke, the quieter her voice became, and she occasionally peeked at Meng Xiuyuan's eyes.
And Meng Xiuyuan naturally didn't have any emotions. He said these words just to make things easier in his heart. How Zhou Zhiruo chooses is her own business.
He pulled Xiao Zhi Ruo to his side, whispered a few words in her ear, and then he no longer hesitated, and immediately turned and left with Miss Yang and Xiao Zhao Min.
Not long after the three walked, the Zhou Zhiruo family disappeared behind them.
After a while, Xiao Zhao Min couldn't hold back his curiosity. He pulled Meng Xiuyuan's sleeve and asked:
"Big brother, is there anything special about that boat girl? And what did you say at the end?
Could it be that you saw at a glance that she was a martial arts genius, and wanted to take her as an apprentice and let her go to find you somewhere? "
Miss Yang was also very puzzled about this matter, but her personality dictated that she did not ask.Now that Xiao Zhaomin asked for her, she naturally pricked up her ears, wanting to hear Meng Xiuyuan's explanation.
But to the disappointment of the two girls, Meng Xiuyuan just shook his head indifferently and did not answer Xiao Zhaomin's question.
Because there is nothing to say about it.
Meng Xiuyuan's last two whispers were just a few words to Zhou Zhiruo, telling her that she could go with her parents to find the shopkeeper Dong who had the "German Business Gang" in Shiyan Town and find a way to make a living under him.
Having been in contact with Shopkeeper Dong for a few months, I can feel that although he is slick and sophisticated, he is actually a good person in essence.If Zhou Zhiruo's family can sincerely work under his hands, then in this troubled world, it may be easier to live in peace.
The shopkeeper Dong had a lot of contacts, and Meng Xiuyuan mentioned it casually, not afraid that someone would find him and expose his identity.
Furthermore, Meng Xiuyuan advised Zhou Zhiruo to try to avoid the affairs of the rivers and lakes in the future, and not to have too much contact with martial arts people like him.
After all, among the Jianghu people who danced swords and swords all day, although there were no good-hearted knights, there were obviously more beasts with human faces and beasts.
……
The three of Meng Xiuyuan disembarked, and after only half a day, they saw an unknown small village head-on.
Although the village was not big, it was considered populated after all.
So not far from the village, Meng Xiuyuan put down Xiao Zhao Min and said to her:
"Okay, let's go to the village by yourself. It won't take long for your subordinates to find this place."
Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhao Min did not appear excited when he heard this, but lowered his head with a sullen mouth and snorted dissatisfied.
Seeing this, Miss Yang couldn't help but say:
"You little brat, you're not happy if you let it go, do you have to let us take you away for a few more days?"
Zhao Min ignored her, instead looked at Meng Xiuyuan and said abruptly:
"I went to Zhongnan Mountain, but my brother was going to the Quanzhen faction to discuss the matter of this year's fasting ceremony, so I came to play with him.
That day, I thought it was too annoying for him to talk to those Niubi, but it happened that Na China Siqianhu knew that our party was here, and came to me to show his hospitality, saying that there was a lively scene at the foot of the mountain, and he insisted on inviting me to his barracks..."
Before she could finish speaking, Miss Yang frowned and interrupted:
"What are you talking about?"
Xiao Zhao Min was not angry when she saw this, but she still ignored her, still only staring at Meng Xiuyuan and said:
"Big brother, I remembered your eyes and will definitely find you again."
Meng Xiuyuan frowned upon hearing this, and looked sharply at Xiao Zhao Min.He didn't understand that the other party was smart and bright, how could he say such words of taking the initiative to kill at such a moment.
Sure enough, Zhao Min hadn't finished speaking, but she just continued to say:
"Don't worry, big brother, I'm not looking for you to seek revenge on you.
A talented and interesting person like you must serve for our court.
One day, I will make you willingly call me the princess of the county. "
Although Zhao Min was young, his identity and personality dictated that he already had the momentum of being a county master.Obviously a little person who doesn't have a high belly button, speaks with confidence, as if she can do it when she says it.
However, Meng Xiuyuan did not eat her way.
"Minmin Temur, remember what I said."
He said his right hand and raised his sword fingers, and gave Xiao Zhao Min's forehead a fictitious point, and poked his forehead with Qi force from a distance of ten feet.
Xiao Zhao Min was almost stabbed to the ground by this finger, clutching her forehead that quickly left a red mark, and yelling at Meng Xiuyuan for being "really rude."
Meng Xiuyuan ignored her and continued to say in a serious voice:
"The reason why I let you leave today is that you have never committed sins yourself, and I don't want to kill you.
If you have any evil deeds in the future and I hear you, then no matter where you are, I will find you.
The masters of Ruyang Palace can't keep you, your father can't keep you, and the Yuan court behind you can't keep you.
I will only say this once, if you don't believe it, you can try it. "
After he finished speaking, Meng Xiuyuan ignored the little girl who was staring at him angrily, and took Miss Yang's hand, turned and walked away.
The two of them were light and elegant, and after just a few ups and downs, they disappeared into the distance.
