Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Mandarin Birds Are Birds of the Same Life How Relatives Become Strangers
In the fight, the two swords were put together again.
Yang Yan waved his arm, drew his sword back and stabbed again with lightning.
So did the girl.The two were originally fighting face to face, but at this moment they all stepped forward at the same time and stabbed out with swords.Suddenly it changed into a posture of defending against the enemy side by side, with the two long swords pointing forward at the same time.
Yang Yan laughed, and said: "It seems that we should only be friends, not enemies."
The girl blushed unconsciously, and she could only sheath her sword amidst his laughter.She took a few steps back and said, "That's right, if we fight like this, we won't be able to tell if we fight for another three days."
"Okay, then can I go?" Yang Yan knew that she must have something to say, but he deliberately asked her this way.
Sure enough, the girl said: "Why, don't you intend to treat me as a friend?"
Yang Yan said: "This sword fight seems destined for us to be friends. But I'm afraid that my little beggar will not be able to climb high."
The girl said angrily: "If you are so glib, I will ignore you!" After saying that, she turned around.
Yang Yan was really afraid of her leaving, so he said: "The little beggar doesn't dare anymore, may I ask what advice you can give me?"
Only then did the girl turn around and said, "You should still remember the path I drew before the competition, right?"
Yang Yan said, "Which one is it?"
The girl said: "If it's a tie and you want to treat me as a friend, just tell me who your master is." Yang Yan said: "I can tell you, but now that I think about it, I seem to be at a disadvantage."
The girl said: "Where do you feel that you have suffered a disadvantage?"
Yang Yan said: "You are only willing to tell me your name, but I have already told you my name, do you think I have suffered a bit?"
"Then what do you want?" said the girl.
Yang Yan said: "I will tell you who my master is, and you have to tell me your origin in the same way."
The girl said: "Okay, then I will tell you my name first. My surname is Long, and my name is Lingzhu. As for the origin of the master, I will tell you after you tell me."
Yang Yan said: "Oh, your surname is Long, and your name is Lingzhu?" The girl said: "Why, what's so strange about this name?" She had already noticed a look of surprise on Yang Yan's face.
Yang Yan said: "It's nothing, your name sounds nice."
Knowing that his words were insincere, the girl snorted and said, "Don't be glib, I don't want you to please me. I just ask if you agree or not?"
Yang Yan said, "Why do you want me to tell you first?"
Long Lingzhu said angrily: "I've already given in a step, what do you want to do? If I have to tell you everything first, wouldn't it be like I'm begging you to be my friend? I can't afford this loss!"
Yang Yan smiled and said: "Miss Long, you are overthinking. Okay, okay. I can afford this small loss, so let me tell you first."
But he didn't continue talking.The eyeballs seemed to be fixed, staring intently at Long Lingzhu.
Long Lingzhu unconsciously turned pink again, and said angrily, "You said you wanted to tell me, why didn't you tell me?"
Yang Yan suddenly spit out two words: "It really looks like it!"
Long Lingzhu was taken aback for a moment, and said, "What a real resemblance!"
Yang Yan said: "You look like a person, especially this coquettish look is the most like?"
Long Lingzhu said: "Who is it, is it your girlfriend?"
Yang Yan said: "I have never seen this person before."
This answer was beyond Long Lingzhu's expectation, she was stunned for a while, she really seemed to get angry, and said: "I'm talking serious with you, but you are joking with me."
Yang Yan hurriedly said: "Girl, what I said is serious. Please listen to what I said before scolding me, okay?"
Long Lingzhu said: "Okay, then explain to me, you haven't seen that person before, so how do you know I look like her?"
Yang Yan said: "I have seen her portrait."
Long Lingzhu said: "Then how do you know that her coquettish look is most like mine?"
Yang Yan said: "The woman in the portrait is exactly the one who painted her acting like a baby." Long Lingzhu said: "Oh, there is such a strange thing, who is that woman, and who is the artist?"
Yang Yan said: "I will only answer your last question. The painter is one of my masters. But although he is actually my master, I am not allowed to call him master. He wants me to call him master. I prefer I call him Grandpa."
Long Lingzhu said: "Your master is really weird, he taught you martial arts in person, didn't he?" Yang Yan said: "Of course it is. Otherwise, how could I say that he is actually my master."
Long Lingzhu said: "Then why did he ask you to call him Master?"
Yang Yan said: "I don't know."
Long Lingzhu said: "You said he was your 'one' master, how many masters do you have?"
Yang Yan said: "I have two masters, the first master is actually more qualified to be my ancestor, but he wants me to be his closed disciple."
Long Lingzhu said: "Who was your first master?"
Yang Yan said: "It's the former head of the Tianshan School."
Long Lingzhu was taken aback, and said: "So you are the closed disciple of Tang Daxia Tang Jingtian of the Tianshan School, no wonder your martial arts are so strong. Although I don't know much about martial arts figures, I often hear people talking about him as one of the most famous martial arts masters in today's martial arts. Taishan Beidou. The only one who can stand against him is Jin Zhuliu, who is recognized as the number one swordsman in the world. However, although Jin Zhuliu is known as the number one swordsman in the world, in terms of martial arts attainments, I am afraid that he is not as good as him. Not as good as him. You competed with me just now, and the sword technique you used at the beginning was probably the Tianshan sword technique?"
Yang Yan said: "That's right, it's the Osumi sword style in Tianshan swordsmanship." Then he smiled wryly: "But I still can't compare with you with Tianshan swordsmanship."
Long Lingzhu said: "It's not that Tianshan swordsmanship is inferior to mine. From my point of view, it seems that you are not proficient enough. I wonder if you are right?"
Yang Yan said: "Miss Long, you have really good eyesight, and your words are right. To be honest, I learned this when I was a child, and I only learned it in scraps and pieces. Now it has been abandoned for seven years."
Long Lingzhu said: "I don't understand. Since you got such a master, why did you switch to someone else?"
Yang Yan said: "That's because I encountered an accident when I was young and was forced to leave Tianshan Mountain. It's a long story, so I'll tell you later."
Long Lingzhu said: "The portrait of the woman you mentioned looks a bit like me, I guess it wasn't painted by Tang Jingtian?"
Yang Yan said: "It's my second master, no, he asked me to call him the grandfather who painted it."
Long Lingzhu said: "I don't care what you call, I just want to know who is your second master?"
Yang Yan said: "He has the same surname as yours, and his surname is also Long."
Unconsciously, You Lingzhu's complexion also changed, and asked quickly: "Oh, his surname is also Long. Then, who is the woman he painted?"
Yang Yan seemed to have vaguely guessed something, a confused expression appeared on his face, and unconsciously stared at the girl in front of him, he seemed a little dumbfounded.
The memories of seven years ago came to mind.
That year, Leng Bing'er took him down the mountain to look for his father and brother in Rut'an Banner. On the way, he ran into Qing soldiers and was arrested by an officer.
Even though he was only eleven years old that year, because he practiced martial arts since childhood, he already had a solid foundation in martial arts, even ten strong men couldn't get close to him.But that officer's ability is much better than him, and if he is caught, he will be forced to become a disciple.
Of course Yang Yan refused to obey, the officer said: "If you don't obey, you have to obey, unless it is the day of my death, otherwise you must follow me."
The officer had a high nose and deep eyes, and looked like a barbarian from the Western Regions, but he spoke quite fluent Chinese.He captured Yang Yan, took off his military uniform and left the brigade, forcing Yang Yan to go west with him.
They passed through deserts and barren sands, through mountains and mountains, and after an unknown number of months, they came to the foot of a big mountain.
The mountain peak soars into the sky, and it seems to be higher than the highest peak of Tianshan Mountain. There are sand rivers all over the mountain, and the scenery is quite similar to Tianshan Mountain.Only later did he know that this mountain was the Himalayas, and that the peak soaring into the sky was the highest peak in the world——Mount Everest.What they passed was the northern part of the Himalayas, which was already the border between Tibet and India.
One night they spent the night on the mountain, Yang Yan slipped away quietly while he was asleep.Unexpectedly, before he had gone far, he was spotted by that man and came after him.
Yang Yan got into an ice alley, the terrain of that ice alley was narrow, Yang Yan got into it as a child, but that barbarian couldn't.The Hu man frightened and lied, but Yang Yan would rather starve to death on the snow mountain than believe his good words.Finally the barbarian lost his temper and said with a sneer, "Do you think I can't catch you? I want you to come out obediently!"
He picked up a pebble-sized stone, held it in his palm, and squeezed it into countless broken stones. He used the stones as projectiles and smashed them into the ice alley.
His hidden weapon technique is very wonderful, every stone flew over Yang Yan's head, but as soon as it flew past, it turned around and reflected back.
Those who have learned martial arts dodge danger out of instinct, and Yang Yan unknowingly backed away.
Seeing that he was about to exit the ice alley, the barbarian was extremely proud, and laughed, "See if you can escape my palm, you little brat?"
Unexpectedly, Yang Yan's character is extremely stubborn, it's fine if the barbarians don't say this, but once they say it, it's tantamount to reminding Yang Yan.
Yang Yan shouted: "Okay, I'd rather stone you to death than follow you!" This time, instead of retreating, he ran forward.The two stones had just been reflected from the front, and he seemed to be facing the stones.These two stones were aimed at his temples.If you hit him straight, you will be seriously injured if you don't die.The barbarian didn't expect his character to be so stubborn, at this moment he wanted to fire another stone bullet, and it was too late to knock down the original two stone bullets.
At this moment, someone suddenly heard scolding: "Using such cruel methods to bully a child, how shameless are you?"
He only heard his voice, but never saw him.But amidst that person's scolding, the two stones fell down in front of Yang Yan.
This night, there was a bright moon in the sky, and the glaciers on the ground reflected each other, which was clearly visible.
But the strange thing is, Yang Yan couldn't see what knocked those two stones down.
But when the two stones fell in front of him, there were a few drops of water on his face, and a piece of unmelted ice fell on his palm.Only then did Yang Yan suddenly realize that the "hidden weapon" that the man used to knock down the rockfall bombs turned out to be a lump of ice.
At this time, that person has also appeared, an old man with three locks of long hair, about sixty years old.
Yang Yan couldn't help being surprised and delighted, and thought to himself: "No wonder Master often said that there is a sky beyond the sky, and there are people beyond people. I don't know how many people with strange talents and abilities in the world, but they are not known to everyone. It seems that this old man's martial arts does not seem to be in my hands." under his master."
Yang Yan could tell that this old man's martial arts were extraordinary, and that Hu was a great expert in martial arts, so he was even more surprised.So he was cursing back just now: "Who dares to—" Seeing the stone bullet he fired was knocked down by the old man with ice, he didn't have the guts to say what he said next.As the saying goes, hitting a stone with an egg is a description of being vulnerable.Now the old man hits a rock with a thin ice cube, just like hitting a stone with an egg.But it is not the "egg" that is "vulnerable" but his stone.The barbarian thought to himself that if he practiced for another ten years, he would definitely not be able to reach this state.
Before he finished speaking, he ran away in fright.At this time, Yang Yanfang began to drill out of the ice alley.
The old man patted his head and said, "Good boy, you are frightened."
Yang Yan's answer was beyond the old man's expectation. He didn't thank him, but asked first: "How do you know I'm a good boy?"
The old man laughed and said, "I like stubborn children the most. You are like me when I was young. When I was young, even though I knew I was invincible, I was determined not to bow to the wicked."
Only then did Yang Yan say: "Grandpa, you are so kind, you drove that villain away for me."
The old man asked, "Where are you from and what is your name?"
Yang Yan told him, and the old man said: "So you came from Tianshan Mountain? Then you can't go back alone. This is the far west of Tibet, thousands of miles away from Tianshan Mountain. I know you have practiced martial arts. , not an ordinary child. But you are too young, if you don’t have an adult who understands martial arts and has rich experience in desert travel to accompany you back, then no matter what.”
Yang Yan said: "Grandpa, you, you..." He originally wanted to ask the old man to take him back, but thinking about the old man's age, he was embarrassed to speak up.
But the old man seemed to know what he was thinking, and said: "You are from Tianshan, do you know that in the southern peak of Tianshan, there is a current martial arts master, he is the head of Tianshan sect, his surname is Tang Mingjingtian."
Yang Yan said: "The master you mentioned is my master."
The old man said: "So you are Tang Jingtian's disciple, no wonder you are so courageous." Then he sighed softly and said, "If it was twenty years ago, I would definitely send you back to Tianshan and visit Tang Jingtian by the way. But Now, alas, now I don’t want the world to know that I’m still there.”
Yang Yan said: "Why?"
The old man said: "If I tell you what's on my mind, you won't understand. If the time comes when I think I can tell you, I will tell you."
Although Yang Yan is young, but because he has experienced many disasters, he is much more "precocious" than ordinary children. He thought to himself: "Perhaps this old grandpa has something to hide. Sister Leng has also taught me that there are many people in the world. Taboo, asking more about other people's affairs is also a taboo. If I break the casserole and ask the end, this old man will hate me."
He didn't ask any more, but the old man continued: "I don't want to see others, and people probably don't like to see me either. Although Tang Jingtian may be an exception, but because of this, I am even more unwilling to give him and me Add some unnecessary trouble."
Although Yang Yan couldn't understand what he said, he understood one thing, he couldn't send himself back to Tianshan. "Grandpa, you saved my life, I am already grateful. I am not afraid of the hardships of the journey, I will go back by myself." Yang Yan said.
The man patted the top of his head and said with a smile: "You are a courageous and talented child like you. If you are willing to take risks, I am reluctant to let you take risks. If you say you want to go back by yourself, then I will ask you, your dry food What should we do after eating? If you have walked this road, you should know that there is no human habitation within a hundred miles, which is a common occurrence.”
Yang Yan said: "I can use stones as marbles to hit birds."
The old man said, "Do you know how to find water in the desert?" Yang Yan said, "I don't understand!"
The old man said: "When the wind blows, do you know how to avoid quicksand?" Yang Yan said: "I don't understand!"
The old man said: "If you run into that villain again, can you run away?" Yang Yan said: "You can't run away!"
The old man laughed and said: "So I advise you to give up this idea, how about this, you stay here, learn more skills from me, and you can go back by yourself when you grow up."
Yang Yan said: "You mean you want to accept me as a disciple?"
The old man said, "Would you like it?"
Yang Yan said: "It's a good feeling. But I learn from others, it seems that I should tell the first master."
The old man said: "You don't have to call me master, you can still call me grandfather. How about it? Does your Tianshan sect have a rule not to allow disciples to worship other people as teachers?"
Yang Yan said: "That's not true. One of my elder brothers has several masters, and he is a registered disciple of the Tianshan School." The old man said: "This is even better. You have learned the skills from me. Go back and tell your master, I guess he won't blame you."
Then he said with a smile: "Actually, if you want to worship me as your teacher, I can't agree. At your age, I can only be your ancestor, not your master."
Yang Yan said: "My master is probably older than you. There is a sister Leng who teaches me to read. When I am naughty, she will spank my buttocks, but when it comes to seniority, she wants to call me little master uncle." Later, a master surnamed Zhong told me that I found out that among all martial arts sects, the Tianshan Party pays the least attention to the rules of seniority. It is said that some disciples with special circumstances, such as my brother, even It’s in our sect, and it’s also done separately.”
The old man smiled and said: "I can't be your master, not only because of the age difference, you will understand my intentions in the future. However, although I don't want to be your master, I will beat you if you don't obey me." of your ass."
Yang Yan said: "Sister Leng can spank my ass, grandpa, of course you can spank my ass. You don't need to explain this in advance, I understand, grandpa, I will just listen to you."
After becoming the old man's apprentice, he knew that the old man's surname was Long and his name was Zeling.More than a hundred years ago, the ancestors of the previous generations fled from the Central Plains to the Himalayas on the Sino-Indian border in order to escape the disaster of war.He didn't tell Yang Yan about his family background in detail, but from what he said, Yang Yan can already know that their Long family may have been a famous martial arts family in the Central Plains before.
Long Zeling seldom talked about his own affairs until the day he was about to go down the mountain after learning martial arts for seven years...
Long Lingzhu heard him tell the story of her second apprenticeship, her face seemed to be a little bit surprised, it could be seen that she tried her best to suppress herself and avoid being too excited in front of Yang Yan.
Of course Yang Yan also had doubts in his heart, but he just met her and knew that she had a weird temper, so it was inconvenient to ask her right away.
Long Lingzhu was stunned for a long time, then forced a smile and said: "So you are the master, no, the master's name is Long Zeling, and his name has two characters that are the same as mine!"
Yang Yan smiled and said: "Yes, this is really a coincidence. If I didn't know that he has no son, I would definitely suspect that you are his granddaughter."
Long Lingzhu asked: "Does he have a daughter?"
Yang Yan said: "He only has one daughter."
Long Lingzhu asked: "Is his daughter with him? Why haven't you mentioned her?"
Yang Yan said: "She has already left grandpa. I didn't hear about it until the day I went down the mountain. I heard that his daughter was only nineteen years old when their father and daughter broke up."
Long Lingzhu said: "The portrait of a young girl he painted is the appearance of his only daughter when she was nineteen years old, right?"
Yang Yan said: "You are so smart, you guessed right."
Long Lingzhu said: "You didn't see that portrait until that day?" Yang Yan said: "Not bad."
Long Lingzhu said: "Why did he show you the portrait of his daughter when it was time to break up?"
Yang Yan said: "Because he hopes that I can find his daughter for him."
Long Lingzhu said: "How did he lose his daughter?" Yang Yan said: "I don't know. Grandpa just told me that he did something to hurt his daughter, so she ran away."
Long Lingzhu asked: "What's the name of his daughter?"
Yang Yan said: "Grandpa didn't say anything either. He said that when his daughter left him, he swore not to come back. So it is very likely that he has changed her name so that her father can't find her. Grandpa also doesn't want me to casually I asked someone to inquire, so I simply didn’t even tell me my daughter’s name.”
Long Lingzhu said: "Then how did he tell you to look for it?"
Yang Yan said: "He asked me to pay attention to whether there are people with the same family of martial arts as I have learned. If I meet such a person, even if it is not his daughter, it must be related to his daughter. Maybe They are apprentices, maybe children."
Speaking of this, it was equivalent to telling Long Lingzhu that he was suspecting that Long Lingzhu was "such a person" that his grandfather hoped he could meet.He paid attention to Long Lingzhu's expression, but Long Lingzhu was staring into the distance, as if he was feeling lost.
She didn't speak, so Yang Yan had no choice but to ask her.
"My story is over, now it's your turn to tell it!"
Long Lingzhu felt like she had just woken up from a dream, she stayed there for a while, and her face gradually became brighter.It seems that he has made up his mind and is going to tell Yang Yan something.
"Okay, let me tell you who my master is, my mother. My surname is also my mother's surname."
As soon as this remark came out, Yang Yan couldn't help but yelled "ahhh".
"I understand!" Yang Yan exclaimed.
Long Lingzhu turned a blind eye to his "gaffe" and said calmly, "What do you understand?"
Yang Yan said: "I understand the intention of my grandpa not being my master. Just imagine if you were my grandpa's granddaughter, you and I were about the same age, but you wanted to call me "Little Master Uncle", wouldn't it be you?" Big loss?"
He deliberately went around to test Long Lingzhu's reaction, but Long Lingzhu still said lightly: "Yes, your grandfather is very thoughtful. It's just that you have too many 'assumptions'."
Yang Yan finally couldn't bear it any longer, and asked straightforwardly: "Miss Long, now, it seems that we can open the skylight and speak clearly?"
Long Lingzhu said: "What bright words are you talking about?"
Yang Yan said: "Miss Long, could it be you, you are—"
Long Lingzhu said: "You don't care who I am, I will tell you a story first."
Yang Yan said: "Okay, I'm going to hear your story."
Long Lingzhu said slowly: "Once upon a time there was an old man whose ancestor was the confidant warrior of the famous general Nian Gengyao during the Kangxi period. Living in seclusion in a high mountain, it has been passed down to the old man for several generations, and it has been more than a hundred years since he has never returned to the Central Plains."
Yang Yan thought to himself: "No wonder grandpa never talked about his family background with me. It must be because Nian Gengyao helped the Qing court and was despised by the chivalry of later generations, so grandpa didn't want others to know that his ancestors were related to Nian Gengyao." It's related. But this girl Long and I just met, but she is willing to tell me that she treats me really well." Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little sweet in my heart, and a smile appeared on my face unconsciously.
Long Lingzhu didn't know if he could see through his mind, and said joyfully and angrily, "What are you thinking? You want me to tell a story, but you don't want to listen to it with your heart!"
Yang Yan blushed and said, "I'm listening attentively. I just think that the old man in your story is similar to my grandpa."
Long Lingzhu said: "That's right. He also has only one daughter."
Yang Yan said: "What happened to the father and daughter later?"
Long Lingzhu said: "When his daughter was nineteen years old, a Han came. His daughter fell in love with this Han."
Yang Yan said: "Isn't that just a blessing from God? It is rare for a Han Chinese to come to the Himalayas. If he can come to the Himalayas, his martial arts must be very powerful." In fact, Long Lingzhu has not told him that the mountain is of the Himalayas.
Long Lingzhu said: "On the contrary, the Han people brought disasters. As a result, not only separated the old man from his father, but also harmed himself."
Yang Yan was taken aback and said, "Are the Han people bad?"
Long Lingzhu said: "Goodness is not easy to understand, and reason is not easy to detect. Whether it is good or bad, it is a matter of opinion. The Han man may be a bad person in the eyes of the old man, but he is a very good person in the eyes of his daughter. Otherwise, she would not I will love him with all my heart.”
Yang Yan said: "So in the eyes of others?"
Long Lingzhu said: "I can only tell you the stories I know, and I haven't asked others, how can I know what others think of him? But as far as I know, I haven't seen the second A nice guy like him! Of course what I think is good may not be what other people think is 'good', it's just my opinion."
Yang Yan said: "Do you know the origin of this Han man?" When he talked about this "Han man" from Long Lingzhu, the admiration he unconsciously revealed became clearer in his heart.
Long Lingzhu said: "I don't know. All I know is that the old man said that this Han man is the leader of the evil faction, so his daughter is not allowed to associate with him."
Yang Yan said: "Since his daughter is absolutely in love with this Han man, she must not obey her father's words."
Long Lingzhu said: "That's right, they still continued their tryst. The old man found out later and solemnly warned them that if that Han man comes again, he will break one of his legs!"
Yang Yan said: "The Han people are not intimidated by him, are they?"
Long Lingzhu said: "Of course not. That man's temper is more stubborn than the old man's, and he went to look for his daughter again the next night."
Yang Yan said: "What's the result?"
Long Lingzhu said: "In the end, the old man really did what he said, and he broke one of the Han's legs."
Hearing this, Yang Yan couldn't help yelling "Ahhh" again, thinking to himself: "No wonder Grandpa said he regretted doing something wrong to his daughter. He was really too cruel and merciless in this matter."
Long Lingzhu continued: "That daughter is also extremely stubborn, she carried her seriously injured lover on her back, and said: 'Daddy, unless you kill me, I will follow him no matter whether he lives or dies!'
"In a rage, the old man scolded his daughter: 'I have raised you for more than ten years, but you are so unfilial, well, if you want to follow him, don't recognize me as a father again!'
"The daughter knelt down and kowtowed three times to her father, and said: 'Daddy, you raised me, but you injured the husband I wished to entrust for life. Of course, my daughter will not remember your grievances, but please forgive me and I can't repay you. Thank you. This is the last time I will call you Daddy. From now on, I will not come back. Daddy, take care of yourself.' Only then did the man whose leg was broken laughed."
Yang Yan said: "He can still laugh?"
Long Lingzhu said: "The Han man said with a smile: now you understand why I didn't fight back just now, right? I'm not afraid of you. When it comes to martial arts, I may be slightly inferior to you, but you can't do it if you want to break one of my legs." Arrived. The reason why I am willing to be beaten is, of course, because you are her father, and secondly, I also want to test whether she is sincere to me. Hey, hey, now I have tried it out, I broke a leg, she Still love me, how can I not be very happy?
"The daughter said: 'I only love you more than before!' Amidst the loud laughter of the Han man, she carried him on her back without looking back, and just left her father and went down the mountain."
Yang Yan sighed, and said: "It's no wonder that the old man said that the man was a devil, and this method of revenge is really cruel. The old man lost his beloved daughter, which is actually more pitiful than him."
Long Lingzhu said: "You only know how to help the old man. It is true that the Han man hurt his leg without being sad. Of course, he is not as pitiful as the old man, and he never asks for pity from others. But the old man's pity is his own fault, and the Han man just suffered. his scourge."
Yang Yan said: "The matter has passed for so many years, and there is no need to care about the kindness and resentment between father and daughter. Miss Long, the daughter of the old man in the story is your mother, right?"
Long Lingzhu said: "So what?" Yang Yan said: "I hope you can help Quan Lingtang, go back with her, and meet your grandfather. I can guarantee that Grandpa will not blame your father, if your father can It would be better if we go back together."
Long Lingzhu said: "Your grandpa won't be able to see his daughter anymore." Yang Yan's heart was shocked, and he said: "Why?"
Long Lingzhu said: "Let me continue to tell you the second half of the story.
"They fled back to the Central Plains and lived in seclusion in a secluded mountain village.
"Although my father has a broken leg, he can still work. My mother sews clothes for others, and the couple makes do with each other, and the life is very good. My father often said that he never dreamed that he could live such a quiet and happy life. .
"Of course people in the mountain village never dreamed that my crippled father was an all-powerful figure, and no one knew that my mother also knew martial arts.
"But it's a pity that such happy days didn't last long. When I was ten years old, one of my father's enemies somehow found out about him and came to the door. Unfortunately, my mother was pregnant again at that time.
"That enemy's ability is extremely high. In the end, although he was defeated by my parents and fled, my father also gave him a hard slap because he broke a leg and couldn't jump. He suffered ten years ago The internal injury has not yet recovered, and a new injury was added, and he died that night!"
Hearing this, Yang Yan couldn't feel tears welling up in his eyelashes, thinking: "It turns out that she was also lonely since she was a child, and her fate is quite similar to mine." Holding back tears, he asked: "How about your mother and daughter?"
Long Lingzhu said: "After encountering this catastrophe, my mother is of course in great pain. But my father is dead, the enemy is still alive, and the disaster will come again at any time. I can't live in that mountain village any longer. For my sake, my mother, I had no choice but to suppress my grief, cremated my father's body, took his ashes, and fled with me overnight.
"Because of excessive grief, my mother's fetus became gassy again during the fierce fighting that night. After escaping from the mountain village, she had a miscarriage on the way on the third day. It was a baby boy who had just formed. Mom was pregnant this time, and originally hoped to have a son, and I also I hope to have a younger brother. Unexpectedly, misfortune strikes and all good hopes come to naught. Mom knew it was a boy, and immediately passed out."
Yang Yan felt more and more sad because of his life experience, and thought to himself: "My mother was also forced to leave home when she was pregnant. The only difference, and for me, it is also the greatest luck among misfortunes. I was able to give birth smoothly from my mother's womb. However, it is hard to say whether it is luck or misfortune. If I had also died of a miscarriage, I would have suffered a lot less suffering in this world."
Long Lingzhu stopped narrating, took out a handkerchief, wiped away Yang Yan's tears, said "Hey" deliberately, and said: "I told my sad things, but I didn't cry, why did you cry instead? Such a big man , aren't you ashamed?"
Yang Yan said: "I was thinking, when you were only ten years old, your mother fell ill. Wouldn't that make you suffer even more?"
Long Lingzhu said: "Yes, the pain I suffered at that time is really indescribable, but I don't want you to pity me.
"When my mother fell ill, I was begging others and I was also a thief. Unexpectedly, the martial arts my parents taught me would come in handy at the beginning. But fortunately, my ability to be a thief is better than others. The thief is clever and has never been caught. I lied to my mother that I came from begging, but I also lied to her.
"Oh, I have suffered so much, but I have only prolonged my mother's life by two years."
Only then did Yang Yan understand the meaning of what she just said about why his "grandfather" could never see his daughter again, and he felt sad for her as well as for "grandfather", and he cried out: "Why, you mother..."
Long Lingzhu said not to cry, and tears were already dripping from the corners of her eyes. After a while, she said in a shy voice, "I managed to get my mother to get up. She has already got tuberculosis, but she still took me to continue wandering in the rivers and lakes. Of course, I have eaten a lot. Among these bad guys, there was a famous 'Chivalry', but he has already been punished by my mother, so I don't want to mention it again."
Yang Yan thought to himself, no wonder her temperament is a bit extreme, and her behavior is a bit cynical. It turned out that it was formed by her childhood experience.Suffered and deceived so much that she lost confidence in everyone.
Then I thought about it, why didn't I also do the same, for Leng Bing'er who is as close as my sister, isn't I still angry with her in my heart?Long Lingzhu is like a mirror, reflecting his shadow.Whether it is beauty, illusion or real existence, one's own shadow always seems to be connected with one's own flesh and blood.Therefore, even though he faintly felt that Long Lingzhu's extreme temperament was a bit wrong, he still admired it.He suddenly remembered the two words Long Lingzhu said just now, "Goodness is not easy to understand, reason is not easy to detect". Facing Long Lingzhu, he felt a little at a loss in his heart.
Long Lingzhu continued: "After my mother had a miscarriage, her vitality was severely injured, and she never recovered from her illness. After two years of delay, she finally died. When she was dying, she said to me: My father only has me as a daughter, and I only have this daughter. You daughter, I let your grandfather down, but I only hope you don't let me down. I want you to be stronger than a man!"
After finishing speaking, there was silence, Yang Yan wanted to persuade her, but he didn't know where to start.In the end, Long Lingzhu forced a smile and said: "Why are you more sentimental than girls? I said I don't want you to be sad for me, why are you crying again?"
Yang Yan sighed softly and said: "Our fate is the same, I'm ashamed that I can't be as strong as you."
Long Lingzhu was taken aback for a moment, and said, "You also lost both your parents when you were young."
Yang Yan said: "My mother passed away when I was one year old. As for my father, I have never met him, and I don't know if he is still alive?"
Long Lingzhu said: "Then you at least have one hope to find your father."
Yang Yan said: "Don't say that this hope is very slim, even if I know his whereabouts now, I can't just go to him."
Long Lingzhu said: "Why?"
Yang Yan said: "Like your mother, he has also been deceived and insulted by a well-known 'chivalrous way' in the martial arts. I have made an oath, if I can't avenge him, I will have no face to see him." he."
Long Lingzhu said: "Even so, you are still better than me. You said that your grandfather loves you very much, at least you still have this relative."
杨炎正是巴不得她把话题引到“爷爷”身上，可没注意到她说这几句话的时候神情的古怪，如嘲如讽，又如羡如妒。
“我的爷爷就是你的外公，他是我的亲人，更是你的亲人。要是你肯和我回去见他，我敢担保他会比疼爱我更多一千倍疼爱你！”杨炎笑道。
杨炎带笑说话，龙灵珠的脸色却是越发冰冷了。
“我爹爹要不是给他打断一条腿，决不会死在仇家手上。爹爹要是能够活着，妈妈也决不会舍我而去。
“天下最亲的人莫过父母，莫说我根本不想认这个外公，纵然我承认他是外公，他也不能比我的父母更亲！”
杨炎说道：“事情已经过去这么多年，又是上一代做错的事，你何必牢牢记住？”
龙灵珠道：“我想起爹爹临终的哀号，想起妈妈在病榻的呻吟，我就不能忘记，这都是拜我那位从未见过面的外公所赐。我不找他算帐已是好了，你还劝我认他？设身处地，你能够原谅杀你父母的仇人么？”
杨炎说道：“但你的爹娘究竟不是你外公害死的。”
龙灵珠道：“推源祸始，也等于是给他杀害了！”
杨炎默然无语，恩起自己也曾痛恨过当年逼使他的母亲离家出走的那个姑姑的心情，心里想道：“姑姑号称辣手观音，爷爷当然不会像她那样心狠手辣的。但就事论事，爷爷对她一家人的伤害的确是比姑姑逼走我的妈妈更甚。”
但想起爷爷那晚年自疚，恳切盼望一见女儿的心情，他不能不再试一次劝告：“不错，爷爷这件事是做得过份，但你妈妈都已经原谅他了，为甚么你不能原谅他？他今年近七十，来日无多，你怎忍心让一个老年人悔恨终生？”
龙灵珠道：“你且慢大发议论，我只想问你，你怎么知道我妈妈已经原谅了他？”
杨炎说道：“令堂要你跟她的姓，在你的名字中又有一个'灵'字，想必你也应该猜想得到，她是在思念她的父亲，你的外公吧？”
龙灵珠道：“妈妈是怕爹爹的仇家将来会查出我的来历，故此给我改名换姓的。”
杨炎说道：“但为甚么给你改这个名字，我这猜测总也不能说是胡猜吧？”
龙灵珠忽地板起脸道：“你的话说完没有，我可没工夫和你瞎缠啦！”她转过身走了！
杨炎追上前去，说道：“龙姑娘，你说过愿意和我做朋友的，请听——”
龙灵珠打断他的话道：“就因为我把你当作朋友，我才自愿一走了之。否则，哼，哼，你是他如今最疼爱的人，我不能找他算账，就该杀了你让他更加伤心的！你再提他，莫怪我和你翻脸！”她一面说话，一面加快脚步，但杨炎还是如影随形的跟在她的后面。
龙灵珠蓦地回头，冷冷说道：“杨炎，你好不要脸！”
杨炎故意嘻皮笑脸的逗她：“这我倒要请教姑娘，怎的是我不要脸了？”
龙灵珠道：“我已言尽于此，你还老是缠着我干嘛？”杨炎道：“姑娘，你先别生气，请听我说。我只是想——”
话犹未了，龙灵珠便打断他的话道：“我不管你想甚么，总之，从今以后，你走你的，我走我的，咱们河水不犯井水！”
杨炎苦笑道：“这又何必！”
龙灵珠忽地拔出剑来，喝道：“杨炎，你要逼我动手是不是？不错，我是打不过你，但自信也还可以和你拼个两败俱伤，最不济拼不过你的时候，自杀的本事我总会有的！”
杨炎吓得连忙退开几步，说道：“龙姑娘，我并非逼你去见爷爷，只想问你一句。”
龙灵珠道：“有话快说，有屁快放！”
杨炎说道：“龙姑娘，你上那儿？”龙灵珠淡淡说道：“我上那儿，你管不着！”
杨炎说道：“咱们是朋友，难道不可以同行吗？”
龙灵珠冷笑道：“我可从来没有听说过，是朋友就必须跟他走的。要是大家谈得投机，就不妨多聚一会，否则就只能各走各的了。普通朋友，不是如此么？你若奢求，那我也只能当你是欺侮我了！”
杨炎禁不住又苦笑道：“我的爷爷就是你的外公，咱们只是'普通朋友'么？”
龙灵珠面挟寒霜，冷冷道：“你不提你的'爷爷'也还罢了，既然你忘不掉你的爷爷，那我只好告诉你，从今之后，咱们连普通朋友也算不上！”
杨炎心情一阵激动，说道：“只能当作如同不相识的路人么？”有一句话他藏在心里，不敢说出来的是：“咱们可是命运相同的啊！”
龙灵珠咬咬嘴唇，嘴唇在流血，心里也在流血，但却是狠狠的说道：“不错，你帮过我的忙，也帮别人打过，恩怨早已一笔勾消。从今之后，你当作从来没有见过我这个人好了。恕我不识抬举，我走啦！”
杨炎不敢再追，转眼之间，龙灵珠的影子在大草原上变成了一个黑点，终于看不见了。
杨炎则还是呆若木鸡的站在草原上，过了许久，方始如梦醒来，轻轻叹了口气。
“我问她上哪儿，其实我自己也不知道应上哪儿！”杨炎心中苦笑，但感一片茫然。
他曾经想过要去的地方倒是有三处之多的。
第一、是到柴达木去找孟元超“报仇”。但自从在那古庙无意中偷听了宋鹏举和胡联奎的对话之后，在他心底深处，已经开始有点怀疑，怀疑去找孟元超“报仇”一事是否对了。这两个人是他师父的徒弟，不会故意在背后讲师父坏话的。虽然偷听到的只是一鳞半爪，但他最少已经知道，他的父亲未必都对，孟元超也未必都错了。尽管这点朦胧的意念，就像冰山一样，十分之九埋在心底，他可不敢让它“浮上来”。但“誓必报仇”的念头，却已不知不觉有点动摇了。
他的心情矛盾得很，好像有股压力，抑制住他不要苦苦去想“报仇”的事情。于今他想的是：仇是要报的，但他可不想特地去找孟元超了。他只幻想最好是在一个偶然的机会，让他碰上了孟元超，最好没有第三者在旁，而又“最好”是孟元超如他想像那样，是个“假侠义道”，给他发现“劣迹”，那时他才能够心安理得，毫不踌躇的一剑将他杀掉！
既然目前还不想去柴达木找孟元超，那么上哪儿呢？
第二个地方，是重回天山。师父虽然死了，在天山还有他的义父。
不过他却又不愿意见到冷冰儿。正因为冷冰儿是最疼爱他的人，他发觉冷冰儿是在“骗他”，骗他认“仇人”作父的时候，他就份外难过。
他不能原谅冷冰儿。为了同样的理由，甚至他不能原谅他的义父。
不过他的义父缪长风是个“名士”气味很重的人，最喜欢放浪形骸，独往独来的。而且经常不在天山。虽然义父爱他有如己出，但却是不懂得怎样呵护孩子的。在细心照料他这方面，当然是远远不及好像是他姐姐的冷冰儿的。故此他对义父的抱怨倒是不及抱怨冷冰儿之深，想起冷冰儿的时候较想起义父的时候更多。
此际他又想起冷冰儿了。
不知怎的，忽然有个奇怪的念头心中浮起：冷冰儿和龙灵珠似乎也有几分相似。
相似的是甚么地方呢？
童年的记忆不知不觉从心中浮起，有时候冷冰儿在哄他开心的时候，他也能够发觉冷冰儿的脸上是有一股忧郁的神情。
冷冰儿是个外柔内刚的女子，性格和龙灵珠一样坚强。龙灵珠在对他诉说幼年的不幸之时，虽然是他比她更为激动，但她的脸上不也是有着那股他所“熟悉”的忧郁神情么？如今再想起来，甚至在龙灵珠“游戏人间”的时候——她戏耍郑雄图、开罗曼娜的玩笑、吓他姑母要打他那号称“辣手观音”的姑母的耳光——在她笑容里，甚至他也能感觉得到她忧郁的“味道”。
龙灵珠心底的忧郁是怎样来的，他自信他现在是懂得了。冷冰儿的呢？
幼年时他是不懂的。虽然他比普通的孩子已是“敏感”得多，也曾问过冷冰儿为甚么她好像时常不很快乐。（当然冷冰儿不会把真正的原因告诉他。）现在他则是有点懂得了，虽然懂得的不及懂得龙灵珠的多。
七年前那一次她从段剑青的魔手下救出他，他已经隐约知道一点他们之间的关系似是不大寻常。
在听了罗海父女用哈萨克土话谈及冷冰儿之后，他知道的就更多了，虽然还不是全部。
他知道了冷冰儿曾经受过段剑青的欺骗，而且是最能伤害一个少女的心灵的那种欺骗。他还知道段剑青不但在爱情上欺骗了冷冰儿，甚至几次三番想要谋害她的性命。
他不禁心里极为难过，“为什么我碰上的两个应该可以算得是我亲人的女子，都是像我一样，各有各的不幸。”
他不禁又想起了他小时候对冷冰儿说过的一句话：“姐姐我知道你是瞒住我，你其实是并不快乐的。但我长大了，我一定要设法让你快乐！”
此际他想起这句话，不觉又苦笑了。
他想到了他的表哥齐世杰：“为甚么当我知道冷姐姐到通古斯只是为了表哥不是为我的时候，我反而不高兴呢？他们两人要是能够相爱，冷姐姐就可以得到幸福了。我不是希望她能够得到快乐的么？”
多么矛盾的心情！但尽管他也知道这是该有的矛盾心情，他对冷冰儿还是不能谅解，当他感觉到齐世杰在冷冰儿心中的位置比他更重要的时候，他也禁不住有一种莫名其妙的妒忌的心情。
他只是个十八岁的“大孩子”，当然现在还是未能懂得的。这种莫名其妙的妒意，其实也正是由于他幼年的遭遇造成。
他自小失了父母，而且没有朋友。小孩子也是需要有“知心的朋友”的甚至不是父母兄长所能代替。有生以来，只有一个冷冰儿可以算得是他的姐姐而兼朋友的人。再经过了这七年来与爷爷相依为命，离群索居的生活，他对冷冰儿感情上的“占有欲”自是更加强烈了。
他不愿回天山去，那么上哪儿呢？
这第三条路却是他此际想得最多的。
浪荡江湖的苦恼更多，不如还是回去和爷爷作伴吧？但回去又怎样和爷爷说呢？爷爷是那样渴望在有生之年能够再见女儿一面，他忍心把那不幸的消息带给爷爷吗？要是龙灵珠愿跟他回去还好一些，爷爷见不到女儿，见到外孙女儿也可以得到一点安慰。但现在龙灵珠却是痛恨他的爷爷。
他忍心告诉爷爷：“这是你一手造成的结果，如今你唯一的外孙女也不肯认你了”么？从他爷爷暮年的凄凉的心境，他不禁又想起了他的姑母。姑母虽然号称“辣手观音”，内心的寂寞凄凉，怕也是和他爷爷一样吧？
“不，姑姑还是比爷爷好一些的，我虽然不肯认她，她的儿子却不是和龙灵珠一样。表哥是个孝顺的儿子，只要他们母子重逢，表哥甚么都会听她的话。他又再发觉他自己心底的一个秘密，就正是因为这个缘故，表哥口口声声是奉了母亲之命找他，由于他不喜欢这个姑姑，因而就连表哥也不想认了。不过，他还是希望齐世杰能够早日见到母亲的，否则他也不会告诉姑母到鲁特安旗去找他了。”
龙灵珠、冷冰儿、齐世杰、义父、爷爷、姑姑……这些人的影子走马灯似的在他脑海中浮转，他心中一片茫然。天地虽大，竟似不知何处才是安身立命之所，也不知是谁才是他最想见的人。
他希望姑母去鲁特安旗寻找儿子，却不知齐世杰已是来找他了，而且是和冷冰儿一起。此际他们二人正在朝着他刚刚离开的那座破庙走去。而他的姑姑也还留在那座破庙之中。
雨已经停了，碧空如洗，空气份外清新。
雨后的彩虹，挂在神野空阔的草原上空，份外美丽。
但齐世杰的心情却仿佛有如风雨来时的天色，那是令人郁闷的沉暗，而又隐藏着激动。
冷冰儿好像能听得见他的心中轻叹，忽地放慢脚步，轻声问道：“齐大哥，你在想些甚么？”“没，没甚么。”齐世杰支吾以应。避开她那寒冰利剪般的目光。
但他的脸色却遮掩不住。冷冰儿笑道，“你别瞒我，我看得出你是在想着心事。”
齐世杰苦笑道：“不错，我是有着一椿心事。但只怕说出来你会骂我。”
“我不骂你说好了。”冷冰儿笑道。
“我希望永远走不到那座破庙。”
其实这座破庙已经是在他们眼前，即使是普通人一样走路，也用不着半支香的时刻了。
“为甚么？”冷冰儿怔了一怔，问道。
“我怕杨炎当真是在庙中。”“你不希望找着他么？”“我当然希望找着，不过，不过——”“不过甚么？”
齐世杰叹口气道：“不过，找着了他，你恐怕就要同他回天山去了。而我，我记得你曾——”
冷冰儿道：“不错，两年前我已曾和你说过，我不想杨炎跟你回家。但杨炎今年也有十七八岁了，我也不妨由他自己决定。”
“我不是这个意思。你带他回天山，那我呢？”
“你当然是应该回家禀告你的母亲了。你两年没有回家，你的母亲恐怕亦已等得十分心焦。难道你还能跟我们一起上天山么？你要这样，我也不让你这样。”冷冰儿说道。
齐世杰黯然道：“是呀！所以你应该明白为甚么我希望这是一条永远走不完的路了吧？冰儿，你不知道我是多么希望永远和你在一起。”
少女的心是最敏感的，冷冰儿怎会不知道呢？这次是轮到她避开齐世杰的目光了。她望向天边，天边的彩虹已经消失。
齐世杰不觉得又再叹了口气，说道：“彩虹易散。冰儿，这几天是我有生以来过得最快乐的日子，但只怕是像彩虹一样。”
冷冰儿能够说些甚么话来安慰他呢？
齐世杰这番深情的说话，像是春风吹开她的心扉。
枯木逢春也会发芽，枯萎了的少女的心，会不会也是逢春开放呢？
冷冰儿不知道。或许更正确的说，是她不愿意知道。她知道的是，这几天她也是过得很快乐。而此际她也是有着和齐世杰一般的惆怅心情。
她知道她必须说一句话，只须说三个字就可以尽扫阴霾，令得齐世杰化惆怅而为狂喜。但这将是她一生中最重大的决定，她还没有决心说出那三个字。
她不喜欢齐世杰吗？no.她是因为另外一些原因，最主要的原因是因为齐世杰有一个外号“辣手观音”的母亲，令她没有勇气说出那三个字。
另外一个原因，她虽然知道齐世杰是个好人，但“好人”却未必就一定是“好伴侣”。比如说，拿孟华来和齐世杰相比，就似乎还有一段距离。当然齐世杰将来也有可能达到孟华那样的“高度”，甚至超过孟华。但那还要时间来考验。
一错不能再错，故此纵然她也喜欢齐世杰，却不能轻率从事了。
齐世杰见她没有说话，目光中更加流露出失望的心情。但虽然没有说话，彼此却都感觉得到对方心的颤动。
和那座破庙的距离更近了。冷冰儿忽地现出又惊又喜的神情，说道：“世杰，你听，庙里好像有人说话。咦，好像是个女的！”
齐世杰也听见了那女人说话的声音了。
他陡地“啊呀”一声，就像一枝离弦的箭，飞快的跑进破庙。
“辣手观音”杨大姑在这破庙已经耽了两天，宋鹏举和胡联奎的伤亦已差不多痊愈了。她正在和两个师侄说话，齐世杰旋风似的冲进去，把她吓了一跳。打了个照面，这霎那间母亲和儿子都欢喜得呆了。
“啊，世杰师弟，当真是你！”宋胡二人不约而同的跳了起来叫道。
“妈！”齐世杰这才叫得出声。
“啊，杰儿，让我仔细看看。啊，果然是我的杰儿！杰儿，这两年你去了那里，为何音讯全无？”杨大姑喃喃问道。
胡联奎和齐世杰的交情最好，忍不住也抢着问道：“师姑和我们刚刚想要到鲁特安旗去找你的，想不到你就来了。师弟，你从鲁特安旗来的吗？”
齐世杰怔了一怔，说道：“你们怎么知道我是在鲁特安旗？”胡联奎正想回答，冷冰儿亦已踏进这座破庙了。宋胡二人不禁又是一呆。
冷冰儿已经听到了齐世杰和母亲的对话，知道了在她面前这个女人就是名震江湖的“辣手观音”了。虽然她对“辣手观音”殊无好感，但无论如何，她总是齐世杰的母亲。尽管在这霎那，她不觉心头如坠铅块，往下一沉。但还是为他们母子重逢而感到高兴的。她不想打扰他们母子此际重逢的喜乐，于是先不说话，悄悄的站在一旁。脸上带着笑容，分享他们的高兴。
齐世杰道：“妈，这两年的事情说来话长。慢慢我再告诉你。妈，我先要——”他正要把冷冰儿介绍给他母亲，杨大姑已是先问儿子：“这位姑娘是——”
冷冰儿上前叫了一声“伯母”，说道：“我姓冷，名叫冰儿。”
齐世杰说道：“这位冷姑娘是天山派的弟子，是我两年前，踏人回疆就结识的第一位朋友。这次我得到她很大的帮忙。”
杨大姑淡淡的说道：“是吗？”回过头，问冷冰儿道：“你这个姓是很少见的。请问冷铁樵和你是怎么个称呼？”
冷冰儿道：“正是家叔。”
冷铁樵是柴达木义军的首领，也正是清廷所要通缉的第一号“钦犯”。杨大姑的脸上登时盖满乌云，不说话了。
“杰儿，你不是说有许多事情要告诉我吗？那就挑最重要的先说吧。”杨大姑不再理睬冷冰儿，回过头再问儿子。
齐世杰正在大喜悦中，可还没有觉察到母亲神情的变化，说道：“对，对，我是有一件最重要的事情先问你们，是谁告诉你们我在鲁特安旗的。”
胡联奎道：“是一个小叫化。”
冷冰儿不禁又惊又喜，一时也顾不得在“辣手观音”面前是否“失态”了。抢着发问：“哦，是个小叫化！他叫甚么名字？”
胡联奎道：“这小叫化曾经帮过我们的忙，但他却没有说出自己的名字。”
齐世杰道：“这小叫化是不是如此这般模样？”
胡联奎听了他所描棕的样貌，点了点头，说道：“一点不错。原来这小叫化果然是你的朋友，怪不得、怪不得——”
话犹未了，杨大姑已打断了他的话头，问儿子道：“这小叫化是甚么人？你怎样认识他的？”
齐世杰也问母亲：“妈，是他把我的消息告诉你的吧？”
杨大姑道：“不错。他这样清楚你的行踪，看来你们的交情似乎不浅？”
齐世杰笑道：“何只不浅，我和他本就应该是比好朋友更亲的。妈，你猜猜这小叫化是谁？”杨大姑怔了一怔，从儿子的口气，她已是隐约猜的几分，本来她应该高兴的，但想起那小叫化对她的态度，心里却是有点不大舒服，于是先不说破，反问儿子：“我没工夫和你猜谜，快告诉我那小叫化是谁？”
齐世杰道：“妈，说出来你一定高兴，这小叫化就是你要我找寻的杨炎表弟呀！”
大出他意料之外，他的母亲非但没有高兴的表示，脸色反而更加难看了，她哼了一声
