Chapter 156: The Resentment Is Unbreakable (3)
"Why?" Lu Jian looked at Ning Ning, confused.Ning Ning smiled sadly, and said in a harsh voice, "Have you ever heard that a son can kill his father?"

This sentence was like thunder on the ground, and everyone present was stunned.Lu Jian felt confused, shook his head and said, "Miss Ning, I don't understand what you are talking about."

"You idiot, still don't understand?" Ning Ning sighed softly, "Shen Zhouxu is your biological father, you are his biological son, if you kill him, you will be the most unfilial person in the world! "

Compared with this remark, no words in the world could surprise Lu Jian more. His heart was in a mess and he couldn't make sense of it.Turning around, the faces in front of him were either surprised or puzzled, and looking at Shen Zhouxu, the scribe frowned thoughtfully.In an instant, Lu Jian felt blood rushing straight to his throat, and said loudly, "Miss Ning, you are lying! Even if I have a hundred faults, how can I be the son of this evil spirit?"

"It's fine to lie to you!" Ning Ning glanced at him, and said quietly, "I lie to people, but the 'Four Laws of Existence' can't lie. The fourth law 'There is a relationship, there is a future', it refers to whether parents are The robbers, the children are also the robbers, the parents are the slaves, and the children are also the slaves, the masters and slaves are passed down from generation to generation, and it will be over after three generations."

Lu Jian was still confused, and asked at a loss: "So what?" Ning Ning sighed: "The distinction between master and slave is passed down from generation to generation, so my father is your robber, and I am your robber. It stands to reason, 'Black Heaven Tribulation' strikes, I can save you, but you can't save me!"

"That's right!" Lu Jian slapped the back of his head, "It's no wonder that my 'Black Heaven Tribulation' broke out that day, and then I recovered for no reason. It turned out that you saved me." Ning Ning smiled bitterly, and said softly: "I see your fate In a moment, my heart was anxious, and I borrowed my calamity power to turn it into true energy..." Lu Jian was stunned, thinking of something vaguely, he opened his mouth, but no words came out.

Hearing a sudden sound, Ning Bu emptied his bamboo stick and said sharply: "Stupid girl, what kind of person are you? This dog slave doesn't know what is good or bad, is it worth your life to save him?"

Lu Jian said angrily: "Ning Bukong, if you call me a dog slave again, I won't be polite to you!" Ning Bukong sneered: "Okay, dog slave, you can try it."

Lu Jian was angry, but when he saw Ning Ning, he felt discouraged, and said, "Miss Ning, but when you were born in the tower, your 'Heitian Tribulation' also happened, and I used the 'Great Vajra Divine Power' to seal it. I caught your 'Sanyuan Emperor Vein', although I succeeded, I was lucky."

"You're not right!" Ning Ning shook her head and smiled wryly, "The 'Great Vajra Power' has been trained to the extreme and can seal the hidden veins, but that's only a temporary solution, not the root cause, but since that day, has your 'Black Heaven Tribulation' ever Has it happened?"

Lu Jian was stunned, and recalled in a daze that since Tianzhu Mountain, he had borrowed countless resources, but the "Heitian Tribulation" never happened again.

"Didn't you have a seizure? Neither did I! So..." Ning Ning paused slightly, "You were able to save me that day, and it had nothing to do with the 'Great King Kong power'. According to the fourth law, Lu Jian, you are not only me My robber slave is also my robber, my true energy can save you, and your true energy can save me..."

Lu Jian was tongue-tied, and suddenly his face turned pale.Ning Ning sighed quietly, and said: "There are pasts and futures. The robbers and slaves are passed down from generation to generation. Lu Jian, my father is your robber, so I am your robber, and your father is mine." , so you are also my master of robbery. Alas, good fortune tricks people, you and I are masters and slaves of each other. Suffering from the 'Heitian Tribulation'." Speaking of this, Ning Ning's eyes turned red, tears glistened, and she was about to burst out.

Lu Jian looked at Ning Bukong, then at Ning Ning, his gaze fell on Shen Zhouxu's face.The scribe's complexion was ashen, and there was a look of gleam in his eyes.Lu Jian couldn't help taking two steps back, looking back at Gu Zhen, his eyes were full of pleading.

Gu Zhen was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "Miss Ning is right, you are Shen Zhouxu's biological son..." Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, and was held tightly by Lu Jian.Lu Jian's face turned pale, and he said sharply, "Gu Zhen, you're here to lie to me too..." Gu Zhen shook his head and said, "Lu Jian, I wish I could tear Shen Zhouxu into pieces, why bother to accuse you of being his son?"

Lu Jian stared at him for a while, then let go of his hand, grabbed his hair hard, and squatted on the ground without moving.

"Master Lu!" Shang Qingying said abruptly, "May I take a look at your chest?" Lu Jian looked up in a daze, and suddenly saw Shang Qingying staring at himself with tears in his eyes, holding a big tree in his hand, shivering trembling.

Seeing her expression, Lu Jian's heart felt hot, and he stretched out his hand to open his shirt.On his chest, the word "Jian" was tattooed impressively. With age, the color has faded, and the handwriting is scrawled and chaotic, which shows that the tattooer was very hasty.

Looking at the handwriting, Shang Qingying suddenly closed her eyes tightly, and two lines of tears rolled down her pale cheeks.

Seeing her appearance, Lu Jian was at a loss for a while.At this time, Shang Qingying suddenly opened his eyes again, and walked towards the pavilion with heavy steps.For a moment, dozens of eyes were all focused on this beautiful woman.

Less than a foot away from Gu Shentong, Shang Qingying stopped, tears streaming down a bank, sticking out her fingers, as if to caress the corpse, unexpectedly Gu Zhen yelled sharply: "Stop!"

Shang Qingying's body trembled, and she turned her head and said, "Zhen'er..." Gu Zhen's eyes were sharp, and he said coldly, "You don't deserve to touch him."

Shang Qingying was stunned for a moment, nodded, and said with a wry smile: "Yes, I'm not worthy!" After speaking, she raised her head and looked at the clouds in the sky, feeling unpredictable and changing, just like her life.

When she was silent for a while, she raised her eyebrows and said quietly, "That year, spring came early, and the peach blossoms outside the village were also in full bloom. At that time, I was pregnant with my first child and often sat in the peach blossom tree. Next, follow the mother in the village to learn how to make small clothes, small pants, small shoes and socks, as well as tiger hats and bibs. The child is very active and always throbbing in the stomach. When I think that he will be born soon, I My heart was filled with fear and joy..."

"Yeah!" Shen Zhouxu sighed, "That was a rare good day..."

Shang Qingying didn't look at him, and continued quietly: "In autumn, Japanese pirates broke out by the sea, burned many houses, and killed many people. At that time, his legs were still in good condition. When he heard about it, he was very angry and said that he would "Contribute to the country, swear to clear the sea and the border", called Zhuang Ke Xiangyong on the same day, and took bows, arrows, knives and guns. This time, there is no news for four days. I am worried, and I look at the attic every day, but look and look. , I can’t see anyone, the path in front of the village is deserted, and there are no clouds in the sky.”

Speaking of this, Shang Qingying pondered for a while before continuing: "It was so easy to wait until the fourth night, and finally waited for two dealers to come back. One had a broken hand, and the other was stabbed in the abdomen. He was about to die. The broken hand The farmer said that when men met Japanese pirates, they couldn’t beat them and all died. At that time, there were no more men in the village, only a group of women and children were left. Hearing this, they cried, screamed, and resented I lost my husband and son, and they all scolded me. They snatched away all the soft gold and silk, and drove away. The huge Zhuangzi became empty, gloomy, and there was no light."

"I was terrified and could only cry. Fortunately, there was a nanny beside me. We discussed going to the nearby mountains to take shelter, but before we could go out, the child didn't move for a long time, and then he suddenly moved. I was in so much pain that I had no choice but to go back to the village. I was frightened and terrified. I suffered so much. At dawn, I finally gave birth to the baby. Because it was not full term, it was considered premature. The baby was very weak, and I must have been sad. Too much, there is no milk at all. My mother and I looked at the little baby, and we were very worried. The mother said, it seems that it can’t be fed, and the world is in chaos. Throw him away. I understand her in my heart. That’s right, but seeing that child is so small and weak, his eyes are tightly closed, and he doesn’t even cry. When I think of leaving him alone, my heart feels like bleeding, holding him Just crying and refusing to let go.”

"The mother said, if you don't leave, it will be too late. I have no choice but to kneel down and say: 'I can't leave like this, this is the only flesh and blood of Mr. Shen, you have received many favors from him, how can you bear to let the Shen family die? Burning incense? I entrust the child to you, please raise him well.' After hearing this, the mother remained silent for a long time, and then said after a while, then you mark the child, if it does not die, it will be fine in the future Claimed. I think the child's father did not come back after going out to war, but it can be said that "the husband will not be recruited again". I gave birth to him, but he is so weak that he may not be able to live. It is considered "infertility". These two sentences should be He read the lines of "Jian" hexagram ninety-three in the "Book of Changes", so he used an embroidery needle to puncture the word "Jian" on his chest..."

"Sure enough!" Ning Bukong smiled triumphantly, "Slave dog, I must have said it well on the boat that day. Your word 'Jian' has a lot of mystery." , ignoring his ridicule.

"...As soon as the tattooing was done, the front village started to shout. We were terrified and ran to the back of the village. I was very weak after giving birth, and ran near the kitchen. I couldn't run any more, so I was hugged by the mother Let the child go first, but she said, "This child is dying, so I should lose it." I was anxious when I heard this, and said, "Good mother, you promised me to adopt him, why don't you keep your words?" She Hearing this, he suddenly became angry and said, "What is there to raise with a half-dead child? I risked my life to accompany you to give birth to a child, and I have already repaid Mr. Shen's kindness. I will not care about the rest. No matter.' After saying that, he threw the child to me and left quickly."

"I had no choice but to hide in the kitchen with the child in my arms and hold the door firmly. Hearing the shouts of people and horses in the distance, my heart beat so fast, my skirt was wet with blood, and white light flashed in front of my eyes. Passed out. At this moment, I heard footsteps outside the door getting closer, and many people said words I couldn't understand. I've heard about Japanese pirates. They killed people, even babies. , I am with the child, neither the mother nor the child can live, if I go out, they catch me, maybe they will not come to look for my child again? Thinking of this, seeing that the fire in the stove has been burned out and it is very deserted, I will The child hid inside, then opened the door and walked out..."

Lu Dahai was always listening, and when he heard this, he suddenly said, "Madam Shen, Guizhuang is in the southwest of Jiading County?"

"Not bad." Shang Qingying said in surprise, "How did the old man know?"

"That's right." Lu Dahai sighed: "To be honest, I picked this kid, Lu Jian, and the place where I picked him was the stove in the kitchen of Shenjiazhuang, Jiading." Lu Jian was ashamed. Thunderbolt, shouted involuntarily: "Grandpa..."

Lu Dahai waved and said, "Come here." Lu Jian was confused and walked up to him silently.Lu Dahai pressed his head, pointed at Shang Qingying and said, "Kneel down for her." Lu Jian fell to his knees on the ground like a walking corpse.Lu Dahai said slowly: "Jian'er, let me tell you, this one is your biological mother, there is absolutely no falsehood."

Lu Jian was quick-witted, regained his composure, and said anxiously, "Grandpa, didn't you say that the word 'Jian' is a birthmark?" Lu Haihai shook his head: "Jian'er, Grandpa was a sea visitor back then, right? ?” Lu Jian nodded.Lu Dahai said again: "When I went out to sea, I met a Japanese pirate's pirate ship. The goods were robbed, and I was forced to join the gang and work for their ship. In order to save my life, I pretended to agree. After I went ashore, I took advantage of it. fled into the nearby mountains."

"I hid for three days, and my eyes were blinded by hunger. On the fourth day, I couldn't bear it any longer. I sneaked out from the hiding place and looked for food everywhere. Unexpectedly, I saw dead bodies of men and women along the way, and houses were destroyed. It was completely burned, not to mention food, not a single grain of rice was left. After walking for a while, I saw a manor with houses burning. It is expected that Japanese pirates just passed by and went to plunder elsewhere. Although Zhuangzi was on fire However, the fire was still not big. I was so hungry that I rushed into the fire regardless of the danger. I found the kitchen and hoped to grab some rice noodles. Unexpectedly, I found nothing after searching for a long time. Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger by the wind, I was in a hurry Suddenly, I heard something humming and chirping under the stove. At first I thought it was a mouse, but I thought that there was no food, so it would be better to catch a mouse to satisfy my hunger. So I held my breath and stepped forward to feel in the stove hole, and finally found a baby. The skin is red and tender, clearly just born not long ago."

"I didn't expect it. I was startled at first, and then I touched my nose and found that the child was still alive. I saw the baby was small and weak, and I felt pity in my heart. I carried him out of the sea of ​​fire, avoiding the Japanese bandits, all the way to the Fleeing to the north. The child has no milk, so I always begged for milk from people all the way, so the child grew up on the milk of a hundred families. This has been living in Yaojiazhuang. At that time, the pirates along the coast were very powerful, only the Yao family It is famous in the north of the Yangtze River, and Japanese pirates dare not commit minor crimes, so I took my children and lived near Zhuangzi for 20 years.”

Lu Dahai said this, and then said: "Jian'er, I thought your parents were killed by Japanese pirates and died long ago. I was afraid that you would know how sad they were, so I didn't say much. As for the writing on your body, I said it was a birthmark. Knowing the truth makes me sad.”

Lu Jian was dumbfounded when he heard this, but Shang Qingying was greatly moved, and bowed his body and said: "The old man is a great kindness, but it is hard to repay a concubine." Lu Dahai waved his hand and said, "What kind of kindness is this? Even if I don’t save even a little baby, am I, Lu Dahai, still a human being?” Shang Qingying respected him even more, and suddenly he heard Lu Dahai ask, “Mrs. Shen, how did you get out of the hands of Japanese pirates?” Woolen cloth?"

Shang Qingying smiled wryly, lost her mind for a while, and then said: "After I went out, those wicked men caught me. Seeing that I was still a bit pretty, they tied me up and dragged me forward. The wicked guards It was very abominable. Seeing that I could not walk after giving birth, he hit me with the butt of a gun and laughed while beating me. I was miserable and wished I could die. At this time, a man came suddenly, with a Japanese sword on his waist, wearing a The ghost mask that Japanese pirates often wear said coldly in Chinese: "She is hurt, don't hit her." The villains didn't listen and turned around to curse. Unexpectedly, the man knocked them all down with a wave of the scabbard, and said: 'If you are not convinced, let's compare again.'”

"The villains showed fear, and someone asked: 'Who are you, why have I never seen you before?' The man said: 'I'm new here.' Then the questioner said: 'Who knows if you are a spy', then Before he finished speaking, the man unsheathed his saber, and the questioner lost his head. I was so frightened that I trembled all over, but the Japanese pirates all showed awe and said, "How can he be a spy with our saber skills?" ?' The man didn't say a word, he picked me up and strode forward. He met Japanese pirates along the way, and he knocked down all those who tried to compete with me. I was terrified when I saw the ghost-masked man so fierce, but I had no strength to struggle. The ghost-masked man walked a long way with me in his arms, stopped suddenly, and turned around to look. Only then did I realize that Zhuangzi had become a sea of ​​flames. In an instant, I thought of the child in the stove, my eyes went black, and I passed out. "

Speaking of this, Shang Qingying looked sad and gasped slightly, as if she was stuck in memories and couldn't extricate herself, and after a while, she continued: "When I woke up, I found myself lying in a tent, and the ghost-masked man was sitting not far away. He looked at me quietly. His demeanor was very quiet, his eyes were dark and bright, with a kind of indescribable fatigue. Seeing me wake up, he got up and said, "Come in." I was drinking hot water and medicine, but the ghost-masked man left the tent silently. At that time, my heart was ashamed, and I let them manipulate me in a daze. Unexpectedly, the old women just looked after my injuries and did not do any harm."

"I was surprised, and asked them about their origins. They said they were common people who were robbed by Japanese pirates. I guessed that the ghost-faced man must be the leader of the Japanese pirates. Thinking of this, I became more and more afraid. Taking advantage of it, I grabbed the scissors and wanted Suicide. The old woman screamed, the ghost-masked man rushed in, and beckoned, somehow, the scissors got into his hand. Even so, a big gash was cut on my neck, and I bled a lot. blood." Speaking of this, she subconsciously raised her hand and gently stroked the side of her neck, and everyone looked at it, and there was indeed a light scar on her fair skin.
