C14 Relic
[Forget it, I won't say anything to comfort him. He has a much higher status than me. Since I'm going to stand, I will just stand with him. After all, it's just like the rain.
After a while, the boy suddenly looked up and asked him whether it was tears or rain. His simple hair was already wet and stuck to his face, but his eyes were as stubborn as those of the helpless old cow in the village.
The young voice asked, "Am I really that annoying? Black and ugly, a country bumpkin with no ambition? I only have one friend who is willing to play with me, so why does she want to leave?
Facing that pair of sincere and clear eyes, Tie Wuxin was at a complete loss for words. His lips moved, but no words came out.
What could he say to console him? It was not true, it was something other children knew nothing about! It was only a woman who said that. As a man of his age, he couldn't say it out loud.
However, men did not care about his looks. In the future, if they had the ability, they would be able to get whatever they wanted, including women. As long as they had the ability, they could get anything.
In the end, Tie Wuxin did not say anything.
"So, it's true. That's what you all think. You all despise me!" The boy did not hear a reply for a long time. Like a deflated ball, his head slowly drooped down. There was an indescribable sense of loss, and in an instant, he lost all of his brilliance.
"Hey," Tie Wuxin couldn't stand to watch a dejected man like this any longer. Even if the man in front of him wasn't a real man, he could only be considered a boy.
"Can you not be so dejected for me? How did I teach you all these years? A man should bleed but not cry. Is it worth being depressed like this? If you dare to do this again, do you believe that I'll really knock you out and take you away with me! " With an angry stare, Tie Wuxin, who was originally a big and sturdy man, started to get angry. His eyes were as big as bells. All the kids in the village were crying because of him.
However, the only boy who wasn't scared by his appearance was this kid who was raised by him — Xu Mu. One was used to it, the other was that he couldn't threaten her anymore. Even though Xu Mu is young, it might be due to his excellent genes. Fuck, he's already learned half of his martial arts skills at such a young age, I wonder what kind of heaven defying martial arts master he will become when he grows up.
Tie Wuxin was happy to have such a disciple. Since ancient times, countless disciples had defeated their masters, but he didn't mind. The only thing he minded was that Xu Mu, who was stronger than him, didn't listen to his words anymore. In the past, he could still use force to intimidate people, but now, he didn't dare to touch him as he could easily lift someone up with a finger and throw them into the water!
Xu Mu raised his head and looked at him once more. Without saying anything, he lifted his foot and prepared to walk forward.
When Tie Wuxin saw the boy's posture again, he finally found the man to not be stubborn. Once this effort was over, he would immediately regain his dull personality.
Xu Mu was in front, followed by Tie Wuxin. The pair walked slowly on the muddy road, the rain seemed to disappear.
Xu Mu suddenly stopped. Tie Wuxin, who was behind him, was caught off guard, and his strong body almost crashed into the ground. In the end, he forcibly retracted his body and stood to the side. If not for his martial arts, he would have been beaten to a pulp by now.
"Brat, why did you suddenly stop? Do you know that people will die if you do that?" I was just about to teach this disobedient boy a lesson. Who cares about his martial arts, I'm going to fight it out with him today!
The boy was squatting on the ground with a nostalgic look on his dark face. His eyes were focused on something that looked like a buckle embedded in the ground. Well, if he was not mistaken, it seemed to be made of pure gold!
He could sell it for a lot of money, Tie Wuxin thought to himself. Since he found such a good item, he would forgive this brat for suddenly stopping.
Ever since he came to this little mountain village, he had lived for eight years. This life, he was living in poverty, he was a coarse old man, he did not know how to scheme, he had lost all his money in the first two years, and after two years of poverty, he had almost brought a two year old child to beg for food!
"Hehe, this is made out of pure gold. You can earn a lot of money by selling this pawnshop. Boy, you have a good eye!" Tie Wuxin stepped forward, wanting to take away the object made of pure gold, but the boy picked it up first and washed it clean while it was raining. Then he held it in his arms like a precious treasure, not letting anyone touch it.
Tie Wuxin finally recognized what it was after washing up! Wasn't it something that children liked, especially among girls? It was as if no matter how old they were, they all liked to study this thing, and this thing's name seemed to be "Nine Links".
When would such a pure gold item appear in this wilderness? No wonder this brat was so precious. With a guess, he knew that it belonged to the little girl who was on the palanquin just now.
"Hey, brat, you can't even let me take a look!"
Tie Wuxin cried loudly as he followed her. He knew that this belonged to the girl, and the thought of making a windfall for a good meal of good fish and meat was immediately poured cold water on his face. It was obviously impossible! This brat, Xu Mu, values friendship. In the future, it would be difficult for him to even meet that Nine Links.
No matter how Tie Wuxin thought about it, Xu Mu was holding the nine links tightly in his arms. The cold feeling of metal penetrated through his rain-soaked shirt and into his skin. It was bone-chilling cold, just like his heart at the moment.
Little stars, little stars, she's gone! In the future, he would become the friendless Xu Mu! That little girl who ran behind him, calling him "Brother Mu" with a smile, would never see him again. From the first glance, he saw that Yuxue, that cute little girl that he liked a lot, no longer wanted him!
No matter how heavy the rain was, the boy was still standing upright and walked forward with firm steps. He didn't care at all. The low pressure on his body and the loss on his body couldn't be covered up no matter how hard he tried!
The sky gradually darkened. The rain continued to fall from afternoon until nightfall. When the sky turned as dark as night, it finally stopped.
Aunt Jing had just served Gu Qingxin dinner. When the boss of the inn saw this scene, he was so shocked that he almost became stupefied. Since when did their small place have so many soldiers with sharp swords at their waists? Of course, the food that was presented was the best.
In her previous life, Gu Qingxin, who had eaten her meals at the top of the capital, naturally couldn't catch her eye, but she was still considered lucky. Since she was reborn, she received the honor of a princess.
To go from frugality to luxury, to go from extravagance to frugality, that was an even older and more immutable truth. Being used to eating delicacies and delicacies and making her nibble on steamed buns and dry rations, that really was one word, difficult, two words, very difficult. Four words, it was even more difficult!
After dinner, Gu Qingxin stood up and walked around the room to eat. This was a habit she had developed in her previous life. She was well aware of how important a good body was to a person. In her previous life, it was precisely because she could not sit still and had learned some martial arts that she suffered from fewer illnesses. At the last moment, she had persisted for so long before dying!
Gu Qingxin couldn't sit still anymore when she thought of her tragic death in her previous life. Of course she had to live well in this life. She had to see how those bitches suffered a fate worse than death.
Not only that, she could not afford to be lazy in this life. She had only learned the skill of a three-legged cat, and her martial arts must be strengthened. At the most critical time, martial arts was the foundation for life.
Powerful martial arts, just like Xu Mu in his previous life, could lead thousands of men and horses across the battlefield to arouse the fear of countless people. In the end, he could only rely on Great General to get rid of her. As for martial arts like her, if it were only slightly better, she would not have been captured so easily and end up like that instead of being a weak cat.
His body was ordinary, but it still needed practice and martial arts to strengthen itself. Aunt Jing, on the other hand, knew how to practice martial arts. She could teach normal martial arts, but it was not enough.
Although she didn't want to be as powerful as Xu Mu in her previous world, but she was not a three-legged cat. She should be able to be of use in a critical moment.
"Aunt Jing."
Gu Qingxin called out to her aunt, who was dressing her.
"Your Highness, why are you calling me a servant?"
Hearing the word 'servant', Gu Qingxin always felt uncomfortable. It wasn't easy for Aunt Jing to raise her by herself for five years. She had the grace of raising her, so she didn't have to call herself a servant.
"You don't have to call yourself a servant anymore. It was you who raised me to this age, and according to the rumors, you are my foster mother. In my heart, you are as important as my own mother, so you don't have to call yourself a servant in front of me anymore."
Aunt Jing was moved to tears as soon as she heard this. She wiped away her tears and replied, "Your Highness, how could this servant compare with master? Taking care of you was Master's last words, this servant's duty."
"I've already said that I don't need to call myself a servant. Don't tell me that you don't want to listen to this princess' words?" Seeing that Aunt Jing was still as terrified as ever, Gu Qingxin put on her airs of a princess.
"Good, good, you're a slave. Aunty, you just have to listen to the princess' mistakes. "
Satisfied, Gu Qingxin said, "Aunt Jing, you know martial arts, right?"
To the princess' question, Aunt Jing had always kept to the principle of knowing everything and answering it, "Yes, when you, Matriarch, were alive, your aunt and another aunt had served your mother together. With one piece of paper and one piece of martial arts, your aunt was the one who was proficient in martial arts, and if your other aunt was here, she would have replied with a lot of things. "But, unfortunately …"
Not wanting Aunt Jing to continue reminiscing about her sorrowful past, Gu Qingxin interrupted, "Aunt, after you return to the palace, you should start teaching me martial arts in private!" A five year old child, learning kung fu, would not keep him. No matter how big of a bone he was, he would be fixed. It would not be good for him to continue learning, and his room for improvement would also be very small.
