Tianyi

Chapter 50 Tianyimen Sword (8)

Qing Yi looked around, but the blue figure was nowhere to be seen.He pursed his lips and said with a smile: "And this incident, sister in brown clothes really can't bear it. She didn't say a word to me all the way. That martial artist from the neighboring county is actually an acquaintance of sister in blue?"

Brown Yi smiled and said: "We are more than just acquaintances..."

The flower window of the wing has become translucent. Xueyi leaned forward, obviously very curious, and said: "Sister in brown clothes, tell me quickly."

Zi Yi also came out, and several sisters surrounded Brown Yi, urging her not to show off.

Brown Yi cleared his throat and said, "What a coincidence. Today, my sister Qing Yi and I went out shopping, so we had to eat in a neighboring county, but there wasn't a good cook there. So I thought, just find a teahouse and sit there. , I can bring my own food, and sister Ziyi made a warm box to keep warm, and I put it under the food drawer, so it won’t get cold all day long.”

"After shopping, when it was time for dinner, my sister Qingyi and I parked the cart on the street, sat down in the tea shed, opened the food drawer, and just took out the food and put it on the table. Before we could use the chopsticks, a martial arts student suddenly came over. . After more than three feet away, he bowed to us and said, "This girl's food is delicious and the portions are generous. I am a young man doing business here and I haven't eaten yet. Can you beg the two girls for a favor?" "

Qing Yi responded: "I've long been used to seeing foodies who don't hesitate to put down their bodies in order to grab food outside the gate of this courtyard. Therefore, when I saw this martial artist coming to ask for food, I didn't find him rude. I just heard that he spoke politely. Then I asked him with a smile, "You are not a monk. What alms are you talking about? If you ask for food, you are asking for food. Food is the first thing for people. If you want to stutter, you are practicing the way of heaven. There is nothing to be ashamed of."

Brown Yi nodded and said, "When Wu Sheng heard what Qing Yi said, he looked overjoyed and said, the girl is very reasonable, so thank you very much. After saying that, he sat down at the table without being polite. I handed it to him With a pair of chopsticks, he immediately started eating, obviously hungry."

Qing Yi said: "Seeing that his hands were not slow, Brown Yi and I also hurriedly used our chopsticks. However, this man seemed to be very polite. He must have estimated the portions of Sister Brown Yi and me, and deliberately left one side of the food. No. Dip his chopsticks. When we stopped eating, he would sweep away the unfinished food."

Brown Yi continued: "I saw that this martial artist was a good man, so I asked him where he came from. This place in the neighboring county is governed by the county magistrate who likes civility and hates martial arts. No one cares about begging for food, but if he does tricks in the street, I'm afraid it will turn out badly. How could he be performing in a neighboring county if he would be looked away from?"

"He told us that he was from a place facing the sea in the east, and he came here to find someone. Because he couldn't find him, he ran out of money, and he couldn't make a living, so he accidentally fell into Pingyang. The people here are simple and honest, and the people's hearts are He is kind, although the store owner refuses to let him live in vain, but seeing that he has been in distress these past few days, at meal time, someone will always give him a bowl of rice."

"He is strong and strong in martial arts, and he is not afraid of sleeping in the open. However, he has been taught since he was a child that he is ashamed to get something for nothing. He thought that he should not eat for free, so he showed his most proud set of palm skills on this street to repay this place. The people...who would have thought that no one would give him food. Fortunately, he smelled the fragrance of our vegetables, so he didn't go hungry."

Qing Yi pursed her lips and said, "Sister Brown Yi and I couldn't help laughing after hearing this. I asked him, who is he looking for? Maybe we can help him."

The man in brown clothes rushed over and said, "In the end, guess what? The Wu Sheng carefully raised his cuffs, opened his sleeve pockets, and motioned us to look inside. My sister in Tsing Yi and I poked our heads in, and saw that the dark cuffs were shining brightly. Light, there is clearly a fluorescent mushroom made of wax inside."

Ziyi reacted quickly and immediately realized: "Could it be the one I gave to sister Lanyi?"

Qing Yi clapped his hands and said: "Exactly. It is sealed with beeswax, and the fluorescence is not damaged at all. Who else can have such exquisite craftsmanship in the world besides our sister in purple? I recognized it at the first sight, and I felt a sudden shock in my heart. , I don’t know whether this martial artist is a friend or an enemy, and I was about to ask questions, but I saw the brown-clothed sister smiling from ear to ear, as if she knew where he was coming from.”

The man in brown clothes said with a smile: "Sister in blue clothes has already told me and the eldest sister the truth. As soon as I saw the fluorescent mushroom, I knew that the wishful man came to look for her. Looking at the appearance of this martial artist, he seemed to be the same as the one before. Like Brother Sun, he is not very well-informed about the world. Although he has heard of Tianyi Sect, it is obvious that he does not know where Tianyi Courtyard is."

"Ordinary people in the neighboring county only know that Tianyi Xiaoyuan is an embroidery village. Officials and police officers know that Tianyi Xiaoyuan is not within the boundaries of the neighboring county, is not under their jurisdiction, and will not come to inquire. Therefore, the real The only person who knows something about the real situation of our Tianyi Courtyard is the county magistrate. This martial artist came here to find out, but he couldn't find anything to ask around. He never thought that he would ask the county magistrate to ask, and he spent all his money in vain. Fortunately, He met us."

Xue Yi listened attentively, thoughtfully.

Brown Yi continued: "When Wu Sheng saw me smiling all the time, he asked, does this girl know the owner of this thing? To be honest with the girl, Xiaosheng came here just to find her. If the girl recognizes it, can you give me some advice? "

"I told him that I recognized him, but if you come here rashly, you must first ask if he is happy to meet you. I gave him a tael of silver and asked him to wait in an inn in a neighboring county. He said, If the owner of this thing is willing, he will come to meet him. He was very happy to give him a gift, took the money, and said he would wait for you back. Then, my sister Qingyi and I hurried back. Hey, why are Lanyi still hiding? Come out? What's there to be ashamed of?"

Chiyi was reluctant and shouted: "Sister in brown, how are you telling a story... When did sister in blue give the fluorescent mushroom to that martial artist? Why didn't I understand at all?"

Qing Yi held her down and said with a smile: "Don't be impatient, don't be impatient. Let's wait and hear what Lan Yi has to say. That will be more interesting."

Xue Yi's eyes flashed, and she suddenly raised her voice and said, "It's been a long time since I was eavesdropping outside the door. Would you like to show up?"

The sisters in the courtyard were shocked, and each turned around to take precautions. Suddenly a blue figure flashed out of the main hall, with a figure like lightning, rushing straight to the courtyard door, and pulling it open, it was Lan Yi.

The courtyard door was wide open, but there was no one there. The only thing that could be seen was that the large cart filled with shopping groceries was still parked on the spot. The donkey pulling the cart was gnawing the grass on the ground boredly. Hearing the sound of the courtyard door, he raised his eyes while chewing his teeth. , with an innocent look on his face.

Lan Yi looked around for a while and stood there in despair.

Qing Yi asked: "Sister, did that martial artist follow us all the way? Although my sister in brown clothes and I are not as good at martial arts as Lan Yi, we can't even detect someone following us. What's more, if that person has been hiding at the courtyard gate Eavesdropping outside, the sister in blue is hiding in this hall, with her martial arts, there is no way she will not be noticed."

Xue Yi said softly: "You don't know how Lan Yi met this person. He has better martial arts than Lan Yi and is very good at hiding. Lan Yi entered the house to investigate and found that the man was in the house, but Lan Yi didn't notice it at all. The man grabbed my wrist and lost the fluorescent mushroom. That man deliberately showed his face in front of you, followed you all the way sneakily, hid outside the hospital and eavesdropped. Not to mention you, even Lan Yi couldn't find you. If I hadn't suddenly just now I heard flaws in what Brown Yi said, which I couldn't even imagine."

Brown Yi asked: "What flaw? Did I say it myself? Why didn't I know?"

Xue Yi said: "You said that the man took the money and turned around and left, which is unreasonable. Sister Qing Yi doesn't know the details, so it's natural that she has no suspicions. But you and I both heard Lan Yi tell the details of that night, and the man claimed that He is an admirer of our master. He knows that all the people in the Tianyi Sect are sisters. With that fluorescent mushroom alone, he can identify Lan Yi as a member of the Tianyi Sect. When he hears you say that he recognizes the owner of the fluorescent mushroom, he How could you not guess that you and Qing Yi are the same?"

"He is from Linhai in the east, thousands of miles away from here. He came here specifically to look for my sister in blue. He stayed in the neighboring county for a long time and never got any news. Now that I have met you two by chance, why are you willing to go back and wait patiently? What if you The two left, and Lan Yi's sister didn't look for him, so what should he do? The most reasonable thing to do is to pretend to go back and wait, then turn around and follow you quietly. He has fought against Lan Yi, and he knows the depth, no I’m worried that you will find out.”

Qing Yi was startled and complained to Brown Yi: "Sister, you were smiling all the way. No matter how I asked you, you just said that we would talk about it when you come back. If you were willing to tell me earlier, I would definitely be wary of that person."

Xue Yi smiled lightly and said: "That's not necessary. I guess that person is a friend rather than an enemy. Let him follow him and listen, so that he can hear everything... Oh, it's not in vain that Lan Yi's infatuation for him is in vain."

Lanyi stamped his feet without closing the courtyard door. He turned around and said angrily: "Sister, you are talking nonsense."

Xue Yi said seriously: "I won't talk nonsense. Sister Qingyi, go and see if there is anything extra on the big car outside the courtyard? Is there anything extra?"

Qing Yi understood, smiled and turned around to leave the hospital.

Chi Yi and Zi Yi looked at each other, not knowing why. Chi Yi imitated: "What's extra?" Zi Yi followed suit: "And there's nothing extra?"

The men in blue and brown were silent, both looking confused.

After a while, Qing Yi came back with a serious look on her face. She closed the courtyard door carefully before walking straight to the flower window of the wing, with all the sisters following behind her.

Qing Yi handed Xue Yi a small blue cloth bag, which seemed to contain only a thin book.

Xue Yi opened the window, reached out to take the cloth bag, and placed it on the window edge without opening it immediately.

Lan Yi said softly: "Could it be that this is the household register... He actually found it? Just sent it over without even showing his face?"

Brown Yi couldn't help but comforted him: "Don't worry, sister, he knows the fragrance of my vegetables. Now that he has found the place, he will definitely come back."

Lan Yi had no choice but to laugh angrily.

Chi Yi said: "This is the extra thing, what is the extra thing?"

Ziyi came to his senses and said, "Oh, it's my fluorescent mushroom. That person left this household register, but took away the fluorescent mushroom I gave to sister Lanyi. Don't worry, sister, I'll make another one for you." , guaranteed to be brighter than the one he took away, and will not lose to him."

Lan Yi gritted his teeth and simply turned his face away from the sisters.

Brown Yi kept up his efforts and said: "That is a token of love. People heard me say that you are his rightful husband. If he doesn't like you, in order to avoid suspicion, he should keep the fluorescent mushroom and return it to you. As a result , he took you away quietly, clearly saying that he also likes you... No wonder the eldest sister just said that you are infatuated, it is indeed not nonsense. "

Lan Yi lowered his head, a red cloud flying on his cheeks.

Qing Yi was thinking about it and said to Xue Yi: "Sister, don't you open this household register and take a look?"

Xue Yi looked at her and asked, "You want to see it too, don't you?"

Qing Yi said calmly: "There is news about the case Tianyimen received, of course I want to see it."

Xue Yi nodded and said, "Then we sisters, let's take a look together."

She gently unfolded the small blue cloth bag, and the sisters looked over together. Sure enough, lying on the blue cloth was a thin old book. It looked a little bit damaged, but there was no obvious damage to the text. It had obviously been carefully kept.

On the cover of the book, there are four ancient seal characters written: "Wufu Household Register."

None of the sisters' faces looked strange. Everyone knew that Xue Yi's surname was actually Wu. This household register was a relic from when her family was exterminated, so there was nothing suspicious about it.

Xue Yi slowly opened the household register and read each page carefully.Qing Yi turned her head sideways and looked at the names page by page through the window sill as her snow clothes turned.

Finally, it stopped on the last page.

There was only one line of words on that page. It seemed that something happened while I was writing it. The handwriting was illegible and written in a hurry, but I still insisted on finishing it.

That line of writing reads: The second brother of the Wu family, his wife has a daughter. Today, it is a hundred days old, and it is recorded in the household register. Her name is Wu Youjin.

"Wu Youjin..." Qing Yi read out and looked up at Xue Yi.

Xue Yi said lightly: "Master said that the two brothers in the Wu Mansion lived next to each other in a high-ranking family, enjoying all the glory and wealth. In our generation, both men and women are ranked in the same row, and their names are recorded in the household register. The eldest uncle's family is still black. , children’s names often have black in them. My second brother’s family is white, so my name has white in it. This line of writing should have been written by my uncle.”

"Then what was written on the previous page is..." Qing Yi suddenly realized.

Xue Yi's expression remained unchanged, and with one hand steady, she turned the household register back to the previous page.

All the sisters gathered to watch.

But on the yellowed paper, the corners were torn and the ink was soaked. Although the writing was a little blurry, it was still legible.There are two lines of characters in the middle, which are shocking when you recognize them.

One line reads: The eldest son of the Wu family has a daughter from another family. She is two years old. Now she has taken her back and recognized her ancestors and returned to the clan. She has been recorded in the household register and her name is Wu Youxian.

Another line reads: The eldest son of the Wu family, his first wife has a daughter, he is one year old now, and is recorded in the household register, named Wu Youlu.

After listening to Xue Yi's explanation, even Chi Yi understood it. He pointed his finger and said, "Wu You Lu, Zhan Lu is the Black Sword. This name refers to the troublemaker in the sword."

The sisters looked up at Xue Yi.

Xue Yi's fingers gently stroked the page and murmured: "Wu Youzhen... Looking at the date recorded, this line was written a year before the family was exterminated. On the day of the incident, she She is already three years old. It turns out that besides the sword, I really have another sister in this world."
