Longevity Sword and Yanling Sword

"No, you can't leave her here." Zhang Wan stared straight at Xu Youyi and said angrily.

"Ah Wan, she is seriously injured now." Xu Youyi persuaded patiently, "This place is too far away from Famous Sword Villa, and she is on the road alone, if no one takes care of her, it will be bad luck if she can't walk halfway. "

"She is Yan Yuming's daughter, it's none of our business whether she dies or not!" Zhang Wan said fiercely, but seeing Xu Youyi's silence, her expression changed. "You are concerned about her." Zhang Wan said sourly, "I finally understand, in fact, you are not soft-hearted, you just treat her like this, don't you?"

"No, you're thinking too much." Xu Youyi avoided her direct gaze, rolled her eyes, and came up with a new set of excuses, "You let her go now, she might call a gang of martial arts tomorrow The righteous way is here, it’s too dangerous, it’s better to put him under house arrest.”

"Wouldn't it be cleaner to kill with one knife?" Zhang Wan sneered, she had already seen that Xu Youyi had no intention of saying it clearly - she simply intended to protect that stubborn and arrogant so-called righteous young hero.

Xu Youyi didn't argue anymore, but her face turned cold. "I've said it before, don't touch her." Xu Youyi said flatly, "If you insist on doing it, then I can only accompany you."

Zhang Wan showed an expression of disbelief: "You actually want to fight me for that woman?" Her face showed resentment, "Xu Youyi, you and I have known each other for 26 years, and we almost grew up together , especially in the past 20 years, how I have treated you, don't you know? You have only known her for a few days?"

Xu Youyi showed a look of unbearable, but her mouth did not loosen at all: "It's two different things."

Zhang Wan shouted angrily: "Xu Youyi, wake up, she is the daughter of your enemy!"

Xu Youyi seemed to choke for a moment, but she said calmly: "20 years ago, the person who really killed my parents may not have been Yan Yuming." She paused, and then said, "If it was really him, then I Would have killed him with his own hands—but that has nothing to do with his daughter."

Speaking of this, it seemed that Xu Youyi felt a pain in her heart when she thought of the possibility of this fact, and she couldn't help frowning.

Zhang Wan stared at Xu Youyi dumbfounded, her expression suddenly became persistent and crazy. "Xu Youyi, let me ask you." She said word by word, "If you had to choose between me and her, how would you choose?"

Xu Youyi looked at her in astonishment: "Ah Wan, why did you say that? It's not so serious, right?"

Zhang Wan's face turned completely cold. "I'll ask again, this is the last time." Her tone was cold and decisive, "Either she stays, and I leave; or I kill her. How do you choose?"

"Ah Wan!" Xu Youyi was obviously also angry, "You know, I can't agree to just kill people like that!"

Zhang Wan sneered: "I knew that you were still brooding about me killing Zhen Shan."

Xu Youyi explained: "No, I just think there might be a better solution..."

Zhang Wan interrupted her, and sneered: "Needless to say, you are a model of morality. I think you are more kind-hearted than those who are really good, and more just than those who are righteous." She turned around, With his back to Xu Youyi, so that the latter could not see her expression.

"Xu Youyi, you will regret it." Her voice sounded sinister and desperate, "When you are covered in bruises, you will know that you made the wrong choice. That Yan Wei will kill you sooner or later."

After finishing speaking, she didn't give Xu Youyi a chance to refute, but she used lightness kung fu and floated away. Before Xu Youyi had time to hold her back, she was already out of sight.

Zhang Wan left.Xu Youyi stood there feeling lost for a long time, but she didn't see any sign of Zhang Wan coming back, so she sighed, turned and walked towards her house.

The differences between her and Zhang Wan did not happen overnight, but now because of Yan Wei's existence, it was suddenly put on paper, which became the last bit of help that could not bridge the gap between the two.Back in the days when the two supported each other and grew up hard, Zhang Wan vowed more than once to kill all the decent people who participated in the massacre, not even their offspring.Of course Xu Youyi disagrees. She has always believed that even if she wants to take revenge, she should avoid harming innocent people to the greatest extent—if she kills people in the name of revenge regardless of the truth, then it is not the same as the so-called righteous way of martial arts with hypocrisy. What's the difference?

But she still hopes that Zhang Wan can change his mind and return to her side.Maybe she'll come back after a few days when she's calmed down.Xu Youyi thought to herself not without luck.

Back at the door of the house, Xu Youyi saw Yan Wei sitting on the stone steps at the door, looking thoughtfully at the scene in front of her.

Xu Youyi followed her gaze and saw Huang Yuefang and Hongmei sitting in front of their house. They were picking vegetables together, talking and laughing, looking very warm.

It was evening at this time, every household started to cook dinner, the smoke from the chimney curled up, and the village was filled with the aroma of cooking, which made people feel that maybe this is the most authentic and ordinary appearance of happiness.

Xu Youyi walked to Yan Wei's side, and sat down silently.

Yan Wei didn't look at her, and said to himself: "They seem to be living happily." As if not asking anyone.

But Xu Youyi still took up the conversation naturally: "Not before. Hongmei originally had a father, but that person was killed by Shanrengu."

Yan Wei looked at her with some surprise: "What's going on?"

"Isn't Zhen Shan the best at turning black and white?" Xu Youyi said lightly, "He has 'created' many models of reforming evil and returning to righteousness, and Hongmei's father is one of them. Killed."

Yan Wei still looked shocked, but remained silent.She had also heard of the various methods of "correcting" wicked people in the Valley of the Good before, many of which were harsh methods like torture, just to force the "wicked people" to admit their sins and promise to make corrections.However, because there has never been any witness or physical evidence to prove these rumors, they just passed on and soon disappeared.

But from Xu Youyi's mouth, it was clear that these rumors were real facts.

"Then did he do anything evil?" Yan Wei asked.

"I haven't done anything." Xu Youyi showed hatred on her face, "This is the method of the so-called upright people. For their own image and for their own interests, they would rather turn black and white, but also maintain a sanctimonious moral appearance. .”

Yan Wei frowned and said, "So Zhen Shan was killed to avenge Huang Yuefang's mother and daughter?"

Xu Youyi was silent, but Yan Wei knew that she acquiesced to this.

"I know you didn't kill Zhen Shan." Yan Wei said bluntly, "You had an alibi that day. Then who killed Zhen Shan? Was it Zhang Wan?"

Xu Youyi didn't answer, but said flatly: "Who killed it, does it matter?"

"Of course it's important." Yan Wei said seriously, "That night, something was lost in the Valley of the Good. It was the diary of an old man surnamed Zhang. It happened that all the contents of the year 20 years ago were lost."

Hearing this, Xu Youyi suddenly turned her head to look at Yan Wei, with a look of surprise on her face: "But Ah Wan clearly told me that she didn't find anything..." She closed her mouth after speaking halfway, as if consciously until I made a slip of the tongue.

But Yan Wei has grasped the key information keenly: "So Zhen Shan was indeed killed by Zhang Wan, and she also took away the diary of the old man surnamed Zhang, right?"

Xu Youyi didn't speak anymore, she stood up suddenly, looked towards the distance of the road, and said to herself: "Master Jiu will come over tonight, I hope Uncle Wang cooks enough dishes."

Yan Wei knew that she was intentionally changing the subject, so she stood up immediately, and hurriedly asked: "Xu Youyi, don't avoid talking about it, if you really didn't kill someone, why didn't you explain it clearly to the people in the martial arts, and wash away your grievances?" ?”

Xu Youyi turned to look at her, with a wry smile on her face: "I don't know how you have grown up in the past 20 years, whether you have been protected too well, and your thoughts are still so simple." She paused, her expression had become sad Bitter, "If the righteous way of martial arts is based on facts, how could my parents die tragically back then?"

Yan Wei wanted to continue asking, but two people suddenly fell from the sky and landed in front of the two of them, interrupting the conversation.

"Xu Youyi, we're here for lunch." The person who spoke with a smile was Chaozi, Yan Wei recognized him as one of the people who went to rescue her that day.

But Yan Wei didn't know the other person, that person was also dressed in bunts, but he looked a little older, with a more mature temperament, with a mild complexion and sharp eyes.He didn't speak, but he was very imposing in his gestures, and Chaozi obviously listened to his orders.Yan Wei immediately realized that maybe he was the "Jiuye" that Xu Youyi mentioned just now.

Sure enough, Xu Youyi introduced: "This is Peng Jiuyi, Lord Jiu."

Peng Jiu glanced at Yan Wei, but smiled, and said three words: "Seven Star Pavilion."

Yan Wei was startled: "Could it be the Seven Star Pavilion, the well-known killer organization in the martial arts?"

Peng Jiu said with a smile: "Your reaction is indeed so, Yan Shaoxia."

Seeing that he knew his identity, Yan Wei couldn't help being vigilant.But Xu Youyi smoothed things over and said, "Eat first, eat first."

The place to eat is at Uncle Wang's home.Xu Youyi babbled about Uncle Wang's situation, and it was only then that Yan Wei found out that she and Zhang Wan had been renting at Uncle Wang's house, and that Uncle Wang prepared the meals on weekdays.Huang Yuefang and Hongmei's mother and daughter also came, plus Yan Wei, Xu Youyi, Peng Jiuyi, Chaozi, and Uncle Wang, a total of seven people.However, there were three extra sets of bowls and chopsticks. Yan Wei knew that one of them belonged to Zhang Wan, but the woman who had been showing her a hostile face was gone. As for the other two sets, Xu Youyi quickly gave the answer .

"Where are Ah Qi and Chu Huizi?" she asked Peng Jiuyi.The latter replied very easily: "Chu Huizi is still crazy, Ah Qi insists on staying and taking care of her."

At this time, Chaozi said with a worried face: "I'm afraid that boy Ah Qi is a bit obsessed. This Chu Huizi is too unreliable. I'm afraid she will cheat him."

Peng Jiuyi was thoughtful: "You are right, we have to find a way when we get back, so we can't make her go crazy."

Having said that, Uncle Wang had already served all the prepared dishes, so everyone sat around and began to eat happily.

Yan Wei was very vigilant at the beginning, she would only eat a certain dish when Peng Jiuyi and Xu Youyi touched it, and she would never try the first chopsticks first if the others hadn't touched it.Uncle Wang suggested drinking some homemade rice wine, but she also declined.This move was observed by Xu Youyi, but the latter only felt that Yan Wei's behavior seemed dull and cute, and couldn't help secretly laughing at her in his heart.

But after eating for a while, Yan Wei felt the taste of the food more and more, so she couldn't help but put aside her previous restraint, and even ate a big bowl of rice.Maybe it was because of the heavy injury and too much consumption, so her appetite increased, and she found a reason for herself in this way.While eating deliciously, watching Xu Youyi, Huang Yuefang, Uncle Wang, Peng Jiuyi and others talking and laughing happily, playing and making noise, I couldn't help but feel a little warm, and even made people involuntarily envious.

Of course, she herself has never experienced such a big family dinner.Her mother died young, and she only ate with Yan Yuming since she was a child, and this strict father asked her to "eat and sleep without talking", so almost all the memories of eating are two people sitting at both ends of a large table , silently and cautiously ate bit by bit, turned around and left after finishing eating, there was almost no communication, and naturally there was no way to talk about warmth and happiness.Yan Wei originally thought this was the normal state of the world, but at this moment she realized that the most ordinary happiness in the world is nothing more than this - a family, three meals, and an ordinary life can be very happy.

What does it feel like to be happy?Yan Wei couldn't help feeling a little dazed.Could it be that she has never felt truly happy in the past 20 years?

If this is the way people live, this is their life, it seems much better than those fake decent people, those fake red tape, doesn't it?

As soon as such thoughts appeared, Yan Wei immediately felt uneasy.The feeling at this moment is completely different from the education she has received in the past 20 years or even completely contradicted, which makes her feel sincerely confused.

Yan Wei couldn't help looking at Xu Youyi again, she looks so pretty when she smiles, her eyes are curved like crescent moons, two small canine teeth are exposed, so gentle and playful, really like a cunning little fox.

Yan Wei stared at her obsessively, seeming to have been caught between her every frown, smile and every move.

Xu Youyi seemed to have also noticed her gaze, and couldn't help but blushed, but she didn't look away, but looked back more enthusiastically, making Yan Wei's heart beat violently again.

Well, just for one night.Yan Wei told herself, just for this night, let her indulge herself occasionally and indulge in the happiness within reach.
