17 Daybreak 4
The girl said that her name was Feng Huanjing. Although she was from the Spirit tribe, she was adopted by this couple since she was a child. The family of three has been living in the ruins of this ancient village. Today she went out to pick wild fruits early in the morning, and when she came back at noon, she saw her parents died tragically.
At this moment, I was so sad that I couldn't help but break down and cry.
Yu Shiqi handed the water bag and dry food to Feng Huanjing, and listened to her talk about her life experience. Thinking that she, like him, did not grow up with her biological parents, she couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for her, and he felt sorry for her from the bottom of his heart.
Warm words of comfort.
"It should be Yan Guming." Teng Yining, who came back after checking around, said to Yu Shiqi and showed him an iron awl in his hand.
"Who is Yan Guming?" Yu Shiqi had no impression of this name.
"This is the target that Youci and I are going to track on this mission." Teng Yining patted the side of her head with some embarrassment. She had just subconsciously regarded Yu Shiqi as a member of her subordinate Yunzhongjian.
"So what happened to Jingrong before and the Shan'ao camp..."
"Of course it was all his fault." Teng Yining nodded and asked, "You were trained at Yunzhongjian before. Do you know about the Jingxie Sihui Rebellion that occurred in Nanzhou in the 24th year of Taiye?"
Yu Shiqi looked stern and replied affirmatively that he did know about this matter, and the members of the sword team who trained at the same time as him should all know.
Because this incident was used as a case by the Huangwu Sect to teach them a lesson, it was also taught by the leader of the Jiuque Sect who had personally participated in settling the matter.
"This Yan Guming, I don't know where he got the information that Song Jiuhe used to study the blood of warriors." Teng Yining sighed, "It stands to reason that we should have destroyed all those things back then..."
"Perhaps Song Jiu and Cunning Rabbit Sancao have already hidden the backup in advance..." Yu Shiqi guessed.
Teng Yining was noncommittal about this. How Yan Guming mastered those things is no longer very important. Judging from his bold use of drugs on those strange beasts in the Western Wilderness, if he is not stopped as soon as possible, there may be consequences.
More troubles followed.
"I'll go up to Tianque Peak to have a look, and you can stay here." Teng Yining said and walked out.
"Senior, let me go with you. Maybe I can help you a little bit..." Yu Shiqi ran out stubbornly.
The girl named Feng Huanjing held on to the remaining bricks on the broken wall, half-hiding behind the wall, and reluctantly stared at Yu Shiqi's back.
Teng Yining stopped and said, "You are no longer a member of Yunzhongjian. I have no power to drive you."
"But..." He gritted his teeth, knelt down on one knee towards Teng Yining, raised his head and clasped his fists, and said with stern eyes: "Senior, you are the sect master, you can recruit me to become a swordsman again! I have never forgotten the faith that Desolate has upheld.
Yes, I can do it!”
Teng Yining looked down at Yu Shiqi, and slowly put her right hand on his head. According to the ancient patriarchal rules of the Huangwu Sect, as long as she gave Yu Shiqi a false blow on each shoulder with her hand knife, he would be temporarily conscripted as a
Desolation Ranger.
Yu Shiqi closed her eyes, held her breath, and waited for this ancient and simple ritual to come.
However, finally, a slight warmth and soft touch came from the top of his head, causing him to open his eyes in surprise.
Teng Yining just put her palm gently on the top of his head and said in a gentle and indifferent tone: "My child, go and paint well. I hope you will become a great painter one day."
After hearing her sincere words, Yu Shiqi was suddenly moved and wanted to cry for a moment.
He rubbed the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand. Teng Yining had already turned around and left quickly in the distance.
"Here...here." A timid voice came from the side. Yu Shiqi turned around and saw the girl's slender arms holding her own water bag.
She waited for Yu Shiqi to take the water bag, then lowered her head and said softly "thank you".
Yu Shiqi sorted out his mood. At that moment, he really wanted to resume his identity as a swordsman and follow Teng Yining to kill the villain Yan Guming. His blood was so high that he didn't expect that there was still a man who had lost his parents.
The helpless wind returns the mirror.
Now that he had calmed down, he thought that perhaps Teng Yining wanted him to keep him here because he wanted him to take good care of the poor girl for the time being.
"Feng... Miss Feng Huanjing." Yu Shiqi turned to face her and asked tentatively: "According to the customs of our Chenling people, your father, Zun Lingtang, unfortunately died, and now we should be buried for them. I don't know about this girl.
Are there any taboos or other customs?"
Feng Huanjing's sad eyes lowered silently and said, "Just do what my brother said."
Yu Shiqi was startled, he didn't expect that she would call him such a casual name.
"According to the customs of our Chenling people, does it really matter?"
"I heard from my aunt and father that their ancestors were refugees from Xiliang Prefecture and were originally from Chenlin." She said to Yu Shiqi, "It seems that they came here later to escape the war."
"So that's it..." Yu Shiqi suddenly realized.
It was just past noon, and the sun was warm. Yu Shiqi asked if the wind would return, and she would bring the hoe and shovel, and according to her wishes, she would dig the graves of the two victims nearby.
Seeing the handfuls of soil falling on the remains of his adoptive father and mother, Feng Huanjing couldn't help but shed tears silently. After Yu Shiqi sealed the top of the tomb with soil and erected a simple wooden sign
, she walked forward and knelt before the wooden sign and kowtowed.
"What do you plan to do in the future?" Yu Shiqi asked.
"I want to ask my brother to do one more thing for me." She had already stood up and stood in front of the tomb without looking back.
"Kill Yan Guming to avenge them for you?"
"That's a very dangerous thing." Feng Huanjing turned around and shook his head, "I just want my brother to accompany me to the south of the mountain to fulfill my father's wish during his lifetime."
Yu Shiqi nodded slightly, indicating for her to continue.
"Actually, there is the tomb of a female immortal under the Tianque Peak... My father did not dare to blaspheme the gods. It was just that he had just escaped and was now in poverty, so he took out a piece of silver from the female immortal's tomb due to the need to make a living.
Mirror, I went to the market town and exchanged some food and coins with the warehouse owner to settle down here."
Feng Huanjing said, taking out the palm-sized delicate silver mirror from his arms: "My father picked me up on the way back from the market town and named me Huanjing. He always remembers this."
Something happened. The situation at home was gradually improving. A while ago, he went to the warehouse owner to redeem the silver mirror. He planned to go to the place where the female fairy rests with a sacrifice in the next spring to return the silver mirror to repay her kindness... It's just that
……only……"
She looked towards the new grave. She had been crying for a long time and could no longer speak. She kept wiping her eyes with her hands.
"Don't cry, it's not that difficult. I'll just go with you." Yu Shiqi promised.
"Thank you brother..."
"You're welcome, it's nothing." He said and walked to the grave, bowed to the wooden sign, and said with emotion: "Your father is a good man, but it's a pity... no. Don't worry, Senior Teng will definitely take care of their grievances."
You paid for it."
As if he was afraid that she wouldn't believe it, Yu Shiqi added: "The Desolate Sect is an organization that gathers rangers to sweep away evil and eliminate evil. There is nothing they can't do."
"Yes." Feng Huanjing responded softly, looked at him and said: "After I go to the female fairy's place and fulfill my father's wish, I... I will follow my brother from now on, okay?"
"Eh? Ah?" Yu Shiqi was startled by her sudden decision.
"Brother, do you think I'm troublesome?" Her eyes dimmed, and her pretty face that had regained some color turned pale again.
"No, that's not what I mean..." He didn't know what to say at the moment. He had suffered a lot from wandering around, so it was okay to be alone. It would not be appropriate to take this little girl with him.
"I can do everything, wash, cook, clean..."
Yu Shiqi interrupted her: "I'll accompany you to return the mirror first. When Senior Teng comes back, I'll ask her if she can introduce you to the Desolate Sect."
