Chapter 87 Chapter 1 The Prodigal Son Who Hasn't Come Home for a Long Time

The quiet moonlight and shadows sprinkled on the water like a veil of mist. Gentle night, quiet night. Yi Yangjiu rested his hands on a small mound in the wilderness, looking at the stars, but his heart felt like a big rock with a breathless pressure. Some people say that people are refreshed on happy occasions, and they often doze off when they are bored. And people who are full of melancholy, it is easy to feel drowsiness unknowingly in the dull mood. Yi Yangjiu hummed a song softly in his mouth, and after humming for a while, he remembered that it was a country song that Ji Yingchu liked to sing very much.

"I fly on wings in the wind, I am a grass with no father or mother. Be careful not to let the birds carry me away, Take me to the nest. I ride the waves on the green water, I am a leaf of duckweed that no one pays attention to. Always be careful not to let the duck eat, I can't see the sky tomorrow..." Humming and humming, he vaguely remembered Le'er, the little girl who chased ducks in Acropolis many years ago. Na Le'er was an orphan since she was a child and lived with her uncle. Although she is very strong and doesn't usually talk about her sorrows, she often sings similar songs.

Those nursery rhymes that sound like children often contain deep helplessness and sadness in the words. And what about Yingchu? Yingchu also sang, but Yiyangjiu never knew who was in her family. Yi Yangjiu thought hard, desperately, but couldn't remember that Yingchu had mentioned her family. However, after singing for a while now, I realized that the songs that Yingchu often sang were the same as Le'er, in which there were "little grass without parents" and "duckweed that no one cares about". Where are Yingchu's parents?When she was a child, did anyone take care of her and pay attention to her?

What kind of entanglement is there between Yingchu and the "black spider"? Thinking of her relationship with "Xuan Spider", Yi Yangjiu still couldn't let go of her heart, fearing that one day she would find out that she was related to the death of his family, and then he didn't know what to do. Although Sangyang Suyin said that she had nothing to do with the Yiyang family's extermination, but such a simple rhetoric still can't make people feel at ease. It seems that what Yingchu was worried about at that time was really not unfounded. "I have a secret, but you may never forgive me."

"I just hope you remember that you once said, 'Man's fate is in his own hands...'" In the night, Yi Yangjiu was thinking wildly in his mind, and soon fell asleep in a daze. In his sleep, he saw Ji Yingchu's clothes fluttering, but he was holding a child who was as cute as pearls and jade. Seeing Yi Yangjiu, she smiled with a misty face, very happy. "..." Her beautiful lips could not stop laughing, as if speaking fluently. Ji Yingchu laughed and talked a lot in his dream. But when Yi Yangjiu woke up from his sleep, he couldn't remember a word. The melancholy in my heart felt like my whole body was hollowed out, and I didn't feel any effort at all.

The night sky is not silent at this time, because in the air, there is a faint familiar melody floating quietly. And that singing voice is actually a country song that Yingchu often sings. "I fly on wings in the wind, I'm a little grass with no father or mother... I am a leaf of duckweed that no one pays attention to, always have to pay attention... I can't see the sky tomorrow..." Of course the person who sang was not Yingchu, because the faint singing voice was that of a man. Yi Yangjiu was at a loss, but also approached the sound curiously. He looked around intuitively, and found that the primordial spirit "Luo Ye" was standing beside him.

With "Luoye", it will be safer and more courageous in this unfamiliar mountain forest of Lu State. The sound of rustling leaves, pushing away the branches, the sound is getting closer. Walking out of the bushes, it suddenly became clear to the eyes. It turned out that this is a small cliff, surrounded by mountains on three sides, but the front is a wide open and wide view. Looking out from the cliff, the horizon sky in the distance is not dark, on the contrary, it has a touch of sapphire blue, and the moonlight reflects the long trickle river, revealing a peaceful look in the majesty.

And the singing voice was still melodious, I saw Sangyang Yinyin leaning on the mountain wall with his arm pillowed, his bearded face had a quiet and strange expression, he was opening his mouth slightly, singing Ji Yingchu's favorite song Song. Yi Yangjiu approached this middle-aged man who seemed to be hiding countless secrets in his chest, stepped on the dead branches on the ground, and made a "bi peeling" sound. Sangyang Suyin heard his voice, but didn't look back, just sang to himself. After a while, the singing slowly stopped. There was a brief silence between the two, and after a long time, Yi Yangjiu spoke softly.

"What kind of song is this?" His voice was a little hollow: "Yingchu often sang it in the past, but I never knew what kind of song it was." Sangyang Shuyin turned his head and looked at this tall, red-haired young man, as if seeing himself in his figure from a long time ago. "I know..." He said leisurely, "Of course I know that Yingchu often sings this song. I taught her this song." "Yingchu..." Yi Yangjiu murmured, "She is my wife, she is still pregnant with my flesh and blood, but I don't even know a single song she sings."

Sangyang Suyin smiled softly and shook his head. "It's not your fault. You're already fine. I've watched her grow up, and I know that the time she's with you is the happiest in her life." After hearing what he said, Yi Yangjiu couldn't help but his eyes became clouded. Thinking of how he got along with Yingchu in the past few years, in fact, he himself was the happiest when he was with Yingchu for more than 20 years. It's just that when people are happy, they don't always know how happy they are. The saddest thing in life is to recall the past happiness when you are in pain.

"Senior Sangyang," Yi Yangjiu said softly after a long time, "I want to know about Yingchu." "What about Yingchu?" Sangyang Suyin said emotionally, "Which one?" "I want to know everything," Yi Yangjiu said with a firm expression, his eyes seemed to have a burning fire: "What happened to her when she was a child, what happened to her when she grew up, what happened to her in the 'Black Spider', and what With everything around her." Sangyang Suyin looked at him thoughtfully and smiled understandingly. "Actually, I also want to find a chance to talk to you about Yingchu. I think if she is still alive, she probably wouldn't blame me, right? And you must also know that she was unwilling to tell her her origin and identity to you. You, it's all for your own good, you know that, right?" Yi Yangjiu nodded firmly. "Know." Sangyang Suyin took a deep breath, turned over neatly, and stood in front of Yiyangjiu. "Okay, then I'll tell you everything I know about Yingchu!" "Of course you already know that Yingchu is a member of 'Mysterious Spider', but the relationship between her and 'Mysterious Spider' is not that simple. 'Mysterious Spider' is an assassination group that originated from Ji Kingdom, and its founder is passed down from generation to generation. It is a royal family of Ji country. Because of the failure to fight for the throne, it returned to the dark place and formed this organization to fight against the royal family of Ji country. But after several generations, the 'Xuan Spider' developed a relationship with the royal family of Ji country. It's a very strange relationship. Originally, because the throne of Ji Kingdom had been tossed and turned several times, the position of monarch later fell to the biological grandson of the founder of 'Xuanzhi', so 'Xuanzhi' became Ji Guo's underground guard, specially helping Ji Guo assassinated some important figures in the international world. Therefore, Qi Xigong later decided to attack Ji Guo because of the assassination of the 'Xuan Spider'. Speaking of which, he did not wrong them, because Ji Guo was indeed the 'Xuan Spider' The main messenger behind the scenes. Although Ji Guo was later destroyed by Duke Xiang of Qi, they failed to wipe out the 'Mysterious Spider'. They still have very strong strength, and they hide in the dark at any time to wait for opportunities. In the 'Mysterious Spider' Among them, there is a group of very special masters, they have a very high status in the 'Mysterious Spider', they possess all the assassination and martial arts skills of the 'Mysterious Spider', and all the most important assassinations are handled by them The code name of this group of people is 'Net Catch'. The members of 'Net Catch' have all entered the 'Mysterious Spider' since they were young. , the important people of the 'Xuan Spider' have very sharp eyesight. When killing people's families, they happen to see young children with excellent muscles and bones, especially the powerful 'Yuan Shen'. They will take them in and train them since childhood. Kill each other in the battle, and the last ones left will be the "net catchers" in the future. This kind of training method is very cruel and cruel. Out of a hundred children, usually only one or two will survive. These children are descendants of aristocratic families. You must know that people from aristocratic families are either high officials or famous generals. Their bloodlines and aptitudes are already good, and after such strict selection, the selected ones are even more terrifying. Sending 'net catchers' out to carry out missions, those who are assassinated are equivalent to dead people." Hearing such a strange narration, Yi Yangjiu opened his eyes wide, but his expression became a bit dazed. "So... so Yingchu is one of these 'net catchers'?" "It's not just one of them, but also the most outstanding one among the children I brought out," Sangyang Suyin said: "But they don't know their true identity, like Yingchu until... um! Until Changing Now that I have become like this, I don’t even know that I am a descendant of the Zhongxing family in the state of Jin.” "Zhongxingshi..." Yi Yangjiu murmured for a while, but a question flashed in his mind: "Since it is such a confidential matter, even they themselves don't know, how can you know?" "Because Yingchu and the others have been caught by me for several generations of 'net capture'. When I was young, I and the leader of the 'Xuanzhi' were good buddies who shared weal and woe. I taught them all. In the 'Xuan Spider', the status of 'net catchers' is very high, and only the leader can order them, and because of this, you who should have been 'executed' long ago, because of Ying The initial concealment, you can save your life in the past few years... But in the past few years, I have been extremely alienated from the 'Mysterious Spider', because I have a very strong feeling, I doubt that the 'Mysterious Spider' has been included In the "Nandou" Yuanshen family, although I have asked my good brother, but I have never received a positive answer. After all, I am a member of the Sangyang family, the predecessor of the Sangyang family and a strange person in ancient times Dimenghun is deeply connected, and 'Nandou' is Dimenghun's mortal enemy, so I naturally have no reason to associate with the Nandou people. Later, Yingchu met you, and the children of 'Net Capture' had urinated in 'Xuanzhi' since they were young. 'Growing up in middle school, the purpose of the training is to train them to be tools for killing people. The most taboo is that they have ordinary people's feelings, but Yingchu was very petite and cute when she was young, and even the leader of the previous generation of 'Xuanzhi' loved her very much. , so she was treated more like a normal person than others. It can also be said that she is a little more human than other members of the 'Internet Catch'. After meeting you, she wants to be an ordinary girl even more, but 'Xuan But how could it be so easy to get rid of the spider? Of course Yingchu would not be so stupid as to ask the leader, so he found me and planned to think of a way to help her get rid of the 'black spider', so as to keep you safe. With this kind of calculation, she has worked desperately to complete the task assigned by the 'Mysterious Spider' over the years. I can keep you." "Then..." Yi Yang asked dumbfoundedly: "When my home in Acropolis was destroyed by the 'Xuan Spider', Yi Ya and I escaped. Could it be her arrangement?" "Yingchu didn't participate in the killing of your whole family. She was still young at that time and had no qualifications to lead a team. She was just supporting from the sidelines," Sangyang Suyin said, "but in all honesty, you escape It’s not that Yingchu helped you guys, she didn’t know you at all, and you escaped because of your primordial spirit ‘Luoye’.” After a pause, he said seriously: “But in the next few days In 2010, you can live a good life in Qi country, it is all because of Yingchu..." "However, I have been attacked by people from Yuan Shen Clan several times." Yi Yangjiu frowned and said, "Isn't this the arrangement of 'Xuan Spider'?" Sangyang Yinyin shook his head. "If it was arranged by the 'Xuan Spider', they will definitely not send one to kill you, but several. The few souls you met were just accidental, and they wanted to kill you, and they were all purely as Nandou. A line of instinct and intuition." At this moment, Yiyangjiu's thoughts began to become a little confused, but he was originally smart and flexible. After thinking of many past events in the past few years, and confirming with Sangyang Suyin's narration, many things gradually became clear. Thinking of the past few years, whenever she asked about Ji Yingchu's personal affairs, her anxiety and anger were all for Yi Yangjiu's sake. According to Yi Yangjiu's fiery personality, once he knows the relationship between Ji Yingchu and the "Mysterious Spider", he is afraid that he will have a head-on confrontation with the "Mysterious Spider" soon. And what kind of consequences will there be, you can probably guess... Thinking of these days, Ji Yingchu endured the tremendous pressure alone, and the energy he spent trying to protect Yi Yangjiu. What kind of mental torture was that, what kind of unbearable pain? It turned out that those scars for no reason were due to her difficult death mission in order to perform and improve her status in the "Black Spider". It turned out that those few silent disappearances were going to an unknown place alone to face a terrifying and powerful enemy. It turned out that Yi Yangjiu felt that his worry while waiting was a great grievance for those few times of being late for the appointment, but he never thought that Ji Yingchu might be living on the verge of death at any time and might be counterattacked by a powerful enemy at any time, so he sent him off. lost his life. And myself, when she finally came to the appointment, instead of comforting her, on the contrary, he gave her so many censures and complaints. Vaguely, Yi Yangjiu could still see and hear her tolerantly say in the vision blurred by tears: "It's okay...Xiao Jiu, it really doesn't matter, I will never blame you..." Thinking of this, Yi Yangjiu couldn't bear it anymore, and couldn't care less about Sangyang Suyin in front of him, so he fell to the ground and burst into tears. He was originally an emotional man, but at this moment he finally understood Ji Yingchu's affection, and thinking about the difficult situation in front of her, his heart was extremely painful and distressed. Na Sangyang Yinyin patted him on the shoulder tolerantly, but there was that expression on his face that seemed to recall a long-term memory. Yi Yangjiu cried, as if she wanted to let out all the accumulated melancholy, she cried tears all over her face.He cried for a long time before he raised his head, sobbed at Sang Yang and said, "Senior Sang Yang, I'm sorry for her, I'm really sorry for her..." At this point, he fell to the ground and wept again: "But I miss her so much..." At this moment, Sang Yang Su Yin's eyes finally burst into tears. Amidst Yiyangjiu's wailing, he spoke quietly, as if speaking to this weeping young man, as if speaking to himself, but also as if speaking to someone in a distant place. "But... After all, you still came to the country of Lu for her, and you still did something for her. And it's not a small thing, it's a very difficult thing. If you have this opportunity to sacrifice for the one you love, then you will Already happier than many people...and she still has the chance to hear you say how much you love her..." At this time, Yi Yangjiu's crying gradually stopped, and with his eyes full of tears, he listened to Sangyang Xielu's words in a daze. "You are the same prodigal son, but you are already much happier than many people... The prodigal son who left home, like you, still has a chance to go home, maybe there is a hot dinner at home, and there is joy and laughter. The familiar face that welcomes you home... It's just that some prodigal sons have no home to return to even if they want to go home... And the smiling face that would have been happy to see you coming home is long gone It's..." Yi Yangjiu wiped away the tears all over his face. Hearing his words, he felt a little bit of doubt in a daze, not knowing what he meant by saying that. Could it be that there is also a dream figure in Sangyang Suyin's heart? If so, why did he say "Some prodigal sons want to go home, but they have no home..."? Could it be that the person he missed is no longer in this world? When he was wondering, in the night, there was a faint and cold voice. "Of course he has no home to go back to." The voice was as cold as snow, although it was pleasant to the ears, but without emotion at all: "It's just because he did something disgusting back then, if he had the slightest sense of shame, he wouldn't Step into the land of Lu State again."
