Chapter 27 Chapter Nine: Unresolved Resentment

But it's only been a month and a half, how could Li Zhixian be so old?Tie Hen was originally full of enthusiasm, thinking about how to get revenge after he was released from prison, but now seeing Li Zhixian like this, he forgot all his plans before he knew it. Li Zhixian coughed, raised a charcoal fire on a small red clay stove, threw some medicines into the pot, slowly took a banana fan and fanned the fire beside it, after a while, the medicine pot sizzled, and from it Let up a little white smoke.Li Zhixian stared at the smoke, stared blankly, and suddenly said: "Come out, I know you are here."

With a move in Tie Hen's heart, he slowly walked out from his hiding place.The pity in his eyes was far stronger than hatred, and he stared at Li Zhixian from afar.Li Zhixian coughed lightly, fanned the fire slowly, and remained silent, and Tie Hen was also silent. After a long time, Li Zhixian sighed: "Tie Butou, I have only done two bad things in my life. This time, it is one thing for you; it was one thing for him before. If you want my life now, just take it." Go, but please read that although this old man breaks the law occasionally, he still sincerely serves the people on weekdays, do one thing for me, and make up for another bad thing I have done."

"You say." Tie Hen sighed. "Do you know that my surname is not Li, but Ling. It's just that after I walked out of my hometown, I felt ashamed and never dared to be named Ling again." Tie Hen's heart moved, and he said: "Could it be... Ling Baohe is your son?" Li Zhixian nodded, and said sadly: "It's just that he never admits it." "The bad thing you said means you abandoned him?" "It's more than that. I can repay you with my death, but for him, I can't make up for it anyway. Tie Butou, I ask you to see that the old man has taken care of you. In the future, the world will Among them, take care of him more. He has no father and no mother since he was a child, even though his temperament is a bit strange, it is not his fault." Tie Hen groaned and did not answer.

Li Zhixian said dejectedly: "I know you are strong and upright, so you probably won't agree. Let me tell you a story, okay?" Tie Hen was silent for a long time, and said, "Okay." "Every time you come, you always sit on the round stool next to Hongmei. I don't know if there will be people sitting on this round stool in the future." Tie Hen said nothing, walked to the stool beside Hongmei and sat down.Li Zhixian fanned the fire for a while, pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "I was born in the countryside, and my family was extremely poor. But my parents tried their best to provide me with a private school, determined to train me to be a scholar, and to be an official in the future." As an official, I can have a bright future. Unexpectedly, when I was eleven years old, Wang Dashan from the village, in order to fight for a piece of land in my family, and the county magistrate falsely accused my father of stealing Jiangyang robbers and beat him to death. My mother cried to death, and with blood and tears she told me that I must finish my studies, must get a good grade in the exam, and avenge my parents. I agreed with tears, and she cried for three days and three nights, and finally passed away unjustly.

"I'm a child with blood and deep hatred. Although I want to study, what do I use to study? So I had to do some idle work for others to earn a hard meal. As soon as I was free, I went to the private school to eavesdrop. Wait for the private school After class, I used the candy I bought with the little money I had, and coaxed them to lend me their books. At night, I ran to the riverside and used branches to practice calligraphy on the sand. After four or five years In 2010, I couldn't forget the deep hatred of my parents, so I studied extremely hard. Although I was stealing, I learned better than the students in the private school.

"Later, because of my literacy, I was recommended by my fellow villagers to be an accountant. A tael of silver a month was enough to make ends meet. Two years later, two distant relatives arranged for me to marry a daughter-in-law from a mountain village. After Lin'er was born, half of this life was over. "My first wife is extremely virtuous, and she takes care of the family in an orderly manner. Although she is poor, she is at ease. She and I are on the same level, love each other, and I don't feel sad. It's just that my desire to study and make progress has never died. Finally, at the age of twenty-four When I was 3 years old, I did a hateful thing that I regret all my life!

"I was twenty-four years old at the time, and I knew that my opportunities were running out, so I wanted to gamble desperately. But my family was poor, and I couldn't make up enough money to catch the exam. After thinking about it, I finally forgot The scene where my parents vomited blood and died, I gritted my teeth and sold my wife to Mr. Hong from the neighboring village for four taels of silver, and embarked on the road to rush for the exam. His mother went together. Originally, I thought that I would come to pick up my child after I became an official, but I didn't expect that this would be the day of our father and son's farewell!

"After going through the township examination, the provincial examination, and the national examination all the way, the heaven finally paid off, allowing me to pass the examination and appoint the county magistrate of Dongcheng County, Jiangsu. I was so happy that I hurriedly took two months off to pick up my son. But when I rushed to my hometown, what I heard was a terrible news!" Li Zhixian lowered his head, two strings of tears dripped down his body.He choked with sobs for a long time, and continued: "It turned out that on the day I left, Master Hong tried to rape my wife. My wife resisted to death, but she couldn't resist him. She was raped by him, and then tortured day and night. My son I couldn't bear to see my mother suffer such pain, so I killed her with a single knife, and then ran away! I felt so sad when I heard this, I almost fainted, and I hurriedly asked everyone who could help me find my son, but he didn't It was as if I had disappeared from this world, and never appeared again. I was extremely sad. After I took office in Dongcheng County, I begged my superiors to transfer me back to my hometown and guard my wife’s grave. I know I will never be sorry for them Ladies and gentlemen, I am afraid that my son will never forgive his cruel father again.

"Unexpectedly, another three years later, Master Hong's family suddenly came to report that a young man broke into their house and killed more than a dozen people. It was a bright moonlit night, and I hurriedly led the yamen to catch the head. , I saw a figure standing in the yard soaked in blood. For some reason, I felt that he must be my son, so I called his name loudly. But he ignored me and looked up at the bright moon. I don’t know what happened , The yamen servants did not dare to go up to arrest people without my order. We were in such a stalemate. Suddenly, he yelled: "Mom! I finally avenged you!" Then he fell on his back. Xue Liang was convinced that he was my son.

"I rushed over, picked him up, and sent him back to the inner office. I am a county magistrate, and my subordinates dare not intervene. I scolded Master Hong a few times, saying that Jiangyang's bandits were seeking revenge, and sent them away. Yes. I invited a famous doctor to treat my son’s injuries. He has been wandering abroad for the past few years, and his martial arts are quite good. Although his injuries are serious, he has gradually recovered. It’s just that he has too much hatred in his heart, and he refuses to be peaceful or He made a fuss in the Yamen every day because he recognized my father. I really had no choice but to lock him up with iron chains.

Later, a doctor said that he suffered some drastic changes in his childhood, and the scene at that time was deeply imprinted in his mind, and he couldn't resolve it, and he became insane.I knew what happened, but in order to make him recognize me as my father again, I repeatedly asked the doctor how to cure him, even at any cost.The doctor had no choice but to say that he could try to use mandala flower juice mixed with snake slough medicine to erase his memory.However, the medicinal properties of this medicine are extremely overbearing. Although it will erase his memory, it will also damage his mind. It is good on weekdays, but when it comes to the night of the bright moon and clear brilliance, it will act upside down and be unreasonable.In desperation, I had no choice but to agree.Later, I invited a master to teach him to read, hoping to resolve this hostility through the words of the sage.Unexpectedly, on a moonlit night, he had a sudden attack, cut the tutor into two pieces, and escaped. " Li Zhixian sighed, and stopped fanning the flames: "I also know that I owe him too much, so I do more good deeds on weekdays, hoping to help him gain some virtue. Although he broke the law several times, I also released him for personal reasons. Let's go. I know that it's absolutely wrong to do this in an important position, but I owe him too much, so I can't care about being honest and honest." He raised his head and said earnestly: "I tell you this not to impress you, but to let the iron catcher know that my child is a poor man, although his temper may be violent occasionally, it is by no means his. Fault, the iron catcher may as well put all the crimes on me, I hope that you will be arrested and brought to justice, or you will be executed on the spot, my child... just let him go!" Tie Hen lowered his head and remained silent.He suddenly understood why Ling Baohe always had a sudden madness; and why he always fought with his life when fighting with others.Maybe he didn't want such a life long ago?And the karma in this is no longer something his little headhunter can figure out. Should we enforce the law impartially and continue to arrest Ling Baohe, or should we listen to Li Zhixian's words and worry about the culprit behind this?Iron hate has no way of knowing the answer!For the first time in his life, he felt that no matter what he chose, the ending would be wrong! Suddenly, dead leaves all over the courtyard fell one after another, and were lifted up by an invisible force, flying in the air.A steaming murderous aura came from outside the door, approaching the small room. Tie Hen suddenly raised his head, and saw Ling Baohe walking in leisurely, stepping on the fallen leaves all over the sky.His attitude is so natural, as if the whole earth has been trampled under his feet, and he is the eternal king of this world. Tie Hen frowned, he clearly felt that Ling Baohe's martial arts were also much stronger.Li Zhixian was stunned, his body trembling involuntarily. Ling Baohe walked into the room with a smile, looked around for a week, and said: "In twenty years, this is the first time I have stepped into your room." Li Zhixian couldn't help but shed tears: "Boy, you finally Are you willing to forgive me as a father?" Ling Baohe was silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "I have learned a lot of truths when I was away in the desert this time, one of which is: no matter what, you are always my father. Even if I really cut God down, this The facts still cannot be changed!" Li Zhixian couldn't help but choked up. Ling Baohe said again: "I also understand a truth. If you want to forget a woman, you must find a woman to replace it." His eyes were as dark as the night hidden behind the faint fire, "Now I have I found a woman to replace me, but I can't completely forget about the past, that's because you are always my father, and as long as you exist, I will be in pain!" Li Zhixian closed his eyes in pain, and said: "You know, I also regret it and have suffered for decades!" Ling Baohe shook his head and said sharply: "Nonsense! You don't regret it! Until just now you complained to Tie Hen When I pretended to talk about this matter, I still didn't mention redeeming my mother! You want me only because I have your blood on me, and I belong to your Ling family! And what about my mother?" His eyes gradually became sharper: "It is because of your despicable and dirty selfishness that I have completely lost my happiness. Let that beast rape and humiliate my mother under the moon, forcing me to kill my mother with my own hands! If you continue to live, I will lose my happiness." How can you forget all of this? So, you should die.” He waved his hand suddenly, and it seemed as if there was a breeze among the thousands of fallen leaves. .Ling Baohe's sword tip was hidden in the slight breeze, and he stabbed Li Zhixian's heart with his sword. This sword contains great strength and fierceness in its softness, although it is silent, it is like the wind, sea and rain, bringing an invisible pressure, faintly swaying with the tip of the sword.It can be seen that Ling Baohe has also greatly increased his skill during these days, and has improved his swordsmanship to a higher level. Li Zhixian's pupils suddenly shrank.His thin body sat quietly, motionless.The tip of the sword suddenly reached his body, and the zhenqi contained in it exploded immediately, and a fierce momentum was forced out in an instant, like a storm in the desert, bursting out suddenly.Li Zhixian's body seemed to move, but he didn't seem to move, he was still sitting there calmly, but there was a deep pain in his eyes.His two fingers stood up, and Ling Baohe's sword was caught between his fingers at some point! This withered old man turned out to be a hidden master?Both Ling Baohe and Tie Hen were terrified. Li Zhixian's eyes burst into light, staring at Ling Baohe: "You want to kill me?" His words were cold, as if he couldn't believe it, and he seemed to be desperate!Ling Baohe said lightly: "Isn't this exactly what you want? Only by killing you can I truly recover!" Li Zhixian's face was agitated, and he laughed loudly: "Okay! Okay! The son I defended, today You actually said such things to me! Is it true that you can’t do well while you’re alive?” There was also a burst of impulsiveness on Ling Baohe's face, and a burst of more violent laughter broke out: "OK? Son? When you sold my mother and me to someone else twelve years ago, I was no longer your son! If it weren't for you , how could my mother die, you know, she died by my hands! I will definitely want you to die by my hands too!" He took a deep breath, his madness subsided slightly: "In this world If you are in such pain, let me relieve you. Mother has been waiting for you. Today will also be the night of the full moon, and this pure moonlight will guide you to meet mother." Li Zhixian's face became more and more serious, and he scolded angrily: "Absurd! I have taught you all the sage books in vain? Your mother is dead, and the deceased is dead. As long as we live well, your mother will feel at ease!" Ling Baohe shouted loudly: "No! My mother is not at ease! I know that she will never be at ease. I will see her all the time. Her eyes tell me that every minute and every second of her They are all enduring painful torture, and they are not at ease at all!" He pressed his chest, looked up at the sky slightly, the faint purple in his eyes began to flow again, and murmured: "I will kill you! I will kill you!" I'm going to kill you!" Li Zhixian said angrily: "Bastard! It's full of strange powers and gods! Even my own father wants to kill, you...you beast!" Ling Baohe laughed loudly: "I am a beast, what are you? Li Cheng At the same time, let me ask you, have you really thought about my mother at all?" Li Zhixian slowly closed his eyes: "Boy, it is indeed my fault for this matter, but your mother married and obeyed her husband, and she is willing to sacrifice for her husband. , but her virtue, what I regret is that I didn't take you away back then." Ling Baohe's canthus were about to burst, and he shouted: "Kill!" Suddenly, a powerful and fierce qi erupted from him, like the wrath of the Nine Heavens Thunder God, it burst open and pierced towards the sword in his hand.The Qing Crane Sword suddenly let out a long cry, and the whole body suddenly became brighter, with thousands of awn tails flickering around, like a big crane, screaming loudly, soaring into the sky!
