Chapter 613: The Events of the Year
Bai Bing's heart pounded. If he can stay in the capital, stay with his sister to protect her and take care of him. and can not worry about livelihood. That's not a good thing. But this heart was defeated by the worries of reality for a moment.
"No, I can't stay. I...... I can't help it. Bai Bing sighed softly.
"Why is that?" Lin Jue asked puzzled.
"No, I just can't stay." White Ice Road.
Lin Jue frowned and said, "What are these words?" There's always a reason. There is nothing more important than being reunited with loved ones. Unless you don't have any feelings for Sister Ling at all. ”
Bai Bing glared at Lin Jue and said angrily: "My sister and I have been separated since we were children, and we are on different sides of the world. In this world, I only have one relative, my sister, don't I have feelings for her? If I didn't have feelings, how could I sneak out of Mobei to find her? Reunite with her? She's my only relative. ”
Lin Jue smiled and said, "Yes, then why don't you want to stay?" It's very confusing. ”
Bai Bing looked at Lin Jue coldly and said, "It's none of your business. ”
Lin Jue shook his head and said, "It's just my business." Sister Ling is now living in my Grand Theater, I hope she is in a good mood and has a good life, so that she will not be worried, and she will sing well and become a pillar. She has become a pillar, everyone likes it, business will prosper, and more tickets can be sold. The more tickets I sold, the more money I can make. If she is in a bad mood and has a bad life, I will make a lot less money. You say, does it have anything to do with me? ”
Bai Bing looked at Lin Jue in annoyance, and said in his heart: "This person is really not a good thing. My sister was used as a cash cow by him. Sure enough, taking in my sister was not out of kindness, but to make money from my sister. ”
But on second thought, there's not much to say. Could it be that people can't raise their sisters for nothing? Naturally, it's time to contribute. If this Lin Gongzi raised his sister in vain, wouldn't it be a sister who was raised by this guy. Although it is said that if my sister is really adopted by this guy, it will not be a bad thing, after all, this guy is still young and handsome. But he is so attentive, his sister's good life can't last long. The master said that men are unreliable, so they still have to support themselves, make money to support themselves, and don't rely on others.
"White girl, don't think about it, I'm just joking. Naturally, this matter has nothing to do with me. But I can't see the tragedy of the separation of flesh and blood in the world. I think there is nothing more important in this world than the reunion of flesh and blood, family reunion, and mutual protection. If one day your sister is bullied and something worse happens because she has no one to take care of her, you will never see her again. Do you regret the decision you made in the first place? Will he blame himself for not wanting to stay and protect her? At that point, you'll regret it and it's useless. There is a saying that 'the son wants to raise but does not wait', although it is not very appropriate, but it is exactly what it means. ”
Bai Bing was silent, his brows furrowed. She was really moved by Lin Jue's words. It's not that Lin Jue's words are so convincing, the real reason is actually in her heart. She herself desperately wants to stay in this world of flowers. When I think of the hardships of the bitter cold land in Mobei, the desolate and boring life. Every day, he only faces a master who is silent and has a stern attitude. The loneliness of facing all things in heaven and earth but no one to talk to is the most maddening. Saying that it is difficult for ordinary people to survive in the desert north does not mean that they will starve to death, freeze to death and die of thirst, and there are still basic living materials there. The real problem is how to let go of the desolation and loneliness that is like a day and adjust one's state of mind.
Bai Bing is a girl in the age of jasper, and the heart of a girl at this age is the most active and the most difficult to suppress. Because of this, Bai Bing dared to secretly run back to the Central Plains to find his sister, in fact, it was also because Mobei's life was too difficult. When he arrived in the Central Plains and the southeast, Bai Bing's mood could be described as happy. It's like a canary in a birdcage once released, a sense of freedom. Although she behaved very restrained, after all, her master did not allow her to show too much emotion from childhood to adulthood; Coupled with the environment, it is natural to be silent and say little. But in her heart, she actually likes this world of flowers very much. She didn't want to stay in this world of flowers and be by her sister's side.
"It seems that the White Maiden does have a hard time. Lin is not talented, if the white girl is willing to tell me the reason, I may be able to help come up with an idea. Lin Jue said in a low voice.
Bai Bing lowered his head and frowned and didn't speak, Lin Jue was embarrassed to ask, and the two of them just stood at the bottom of the pavilion without moving. The moon passed through the middle of the sky, the clear light was sprinkled everywhere, and there was silence in all directions. The autumn night wind blew through the treetops, the shadows of the trees moved slightly, and a few leaves fell silently. Outside the courtyard wall of the back garden in the distance, the sound of leakage faintly came, adding to the silence of this moonlit night.
"Well, since that's the case, I won't bother below. Late at night, I went back to my room to rest. The white girl also rested earlier, so she didn't have to worry about it. As the saying goes: Unsatisfactory things are often eight or nine, but there are no two or three words for people. Presumably, the white girl is reluctant to reveal the secret. The girl can rest assured, even if the girl can't stay here to accompany Sister Ling, she will definitely do her best to take care of Miss Xiaoxiao. Since she has entered my Jiangnan Grand Theater, I will do my best to protect her and do my best. Farewell. ”
Lin Jue bowed his hand, walked quickly to the path under the pavilion, and walked in the direction of the back house. Although he wanted to ask a woman with strong martial arts like Bai Bing to stay in the capital to escort herself, it finally backfired, so there was no need to force it.
Lin Jue walked quickly across the side of the rockery, and the exit door was already in front of him. Suddenly, Bai Bing's deep voice came from behind him: "Lin Gongzi stays!" ”
Lin Jue was overjoyed and turned his head to look, but saw Bai Bing standing in the pavilion, standing against the railing, staring at himself.
"White girl, have you changed your mind?" Lin Jue said with a smile.
"Lin Gongzi, there are some things I can tell you clearly, if you dare to take me in the capital after hearing it, or if you think I can still stay in the capital, then talk about it later." Bai Bing said quietly.
Lin Jue returned to the pavilion suspiciously and sat on the spring bench with Bai Bing. Bai Bing lowered his head thoughtfully, and didn't speak for a long time. Lin Jue also sat silently, he had enough patience.
Finally, Bai Bing raised his head, looked at Lin Jue with a pair of wonderful eyes, and spoke softly.
"Lin Gongzi...... How much do you know about the Demon Sound Gate? ”
Lin Jue was stunned and smiled, "I don't know anything about the Demon Sound Gate. ”
"Then why did Gongzi Lin mention the Demon Sound Sect, and what did he say that the Demon Sound Sect is a treacherous sect and so on." Bai Bing frowned.
Lin Jue laughed and said, "That, I heard hearsay." In fact, I don't know what kind of sect the Demon Sound Gate is. It's just that a friend with a lot of experience saw the martial arts used that day, and thought that you might be a disciple of the Demon Sound Sect. He also talked about what he had seen and heard about the past of the Demon Sound Gate. He's actually hearsay, so he can't take it seriously. ”
Bai Bing asked in a deep voice with a sideways face, "What did he say?" ”
Lin Jue smiled bitterly: "Does the girl really want to listen?" But it's all unpleasant words. ”
Bai Bing nodded and said, "I want to listen." ”
"Okay. He said that the Demon Sound Sect was an evil sect on the rivers and lakes a long time ago. The martial arts used in the Demon Sound Gate are the sound of musical instruments, which is soul-stirring and quite evil. Also said...... The female disciples of the Demon Yin Sect are seductive in their complexions, causing countless children of the rivers and lakes to degenerate into traitors. Because of this, it caused decent people in the rivers and lakes to attack it and slaughter the Demon Sound Gate. So it's been a long time since there was any news from the Demon Sound Gate. Lin Jue said softly.
Bai Bing nodded slightly, sighed and said, "Sure enough, it's exactly the same as what the master said." ”
Lin Jue frowned and asked, "Why does the white girl ask about this?" Could it be that you are really a disciple of the Demon Sound Sect? ”
Bai Bing shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "I'm not a disciple of the Demon Sound Sect, and the Demon Sound Sect is long gone." ”
Lin Jue's heart was relieved, but he heard Bai Bing continue to say softly: "My master said that from the day the Demon Sound Gate is destroyed, it will no longer be called the Demon Sound Gate, but the Revenge Gate." So I'm a Vengeance Gate man. ”
Lin Jue looked at Bai Bing in astonishment, Bai Bing nodded and said, "Yes, my master is a person from the Demon Sound Gate, although he has changed his name, it is still the Demon Sound Gate." I am the only disciple of my master, and I should also be a member of the Demon Sound Sect. ”
Lin Jue was speechless in surprise, staring at Bai Bing in a daze. Bai Bing sneered: "What? Are you scared? Hearing the name of the Demon Sound Gate, you are already scared of the six gods. ”
Lin Jue fixed his mind and said: "White girl, I'm not afraid, I'm just surprised." What is the situation of the Demon Sound Gate, it has nothing to do with me. I am not a person in the rivers and lakes, where can I care about the wind and rain on the rivers and lakes. ”
Bai Bing nodded and said, "That's right, it has nothing to do with you, and it has nothing to do with me." When I was three years old, I was taken in by my master and taken to live in Mobei. It was only at the age of sixteen that I learned about the Demon Sound Gate from my master, but I didn't know anything about the previous things. ”
Lin Jue nodded and said, "What I said is that the white girl can't help herself when she becomes a disciple of the Demon Sound Sect, and this is not your responsibility at all." ”
Bai Bing sneered, "You mean, I should be ashamed of being a disciple of the Demon Sound Sect, right?" ”
Lin Jue smacked his lips and said, "This ...... I didn't say that. ”
Bai Bing sneered: "If you didn't say it, it doesn't mean that you didn't think so in your heart." You're just hearsay, and you've decided that the Demon Sound Gate was so unbearable, right? However, what I know about the past of the Demon Sound Gate is the opposite of what you have heard. ”
Lin Jue was surprised: "Oh? I would like to hear about it. ”
Bai Bing slowly stood up, walked to the pavilion and stood under the pillars, his eyes blurred at the waning moon in the sky. After a long silence, he spoke softly.
"In the summer when I was three years old, it was like a hole, it was raining all the time, and it was pouring rain. I was still very ignorant, I didn't know anything. I also think that the yard at home is full of water, and it is a very fun thing to be able to row with my sister in a small wooden basin. But I vaguely remember that my father's face became more and more gloomy, like a dark cloud in the sky. They keep saying things I don't understand. "If it goes down like this, the embankment will not be able to be saved", "The rice seedlings in the field are flooded, and I am afraid that there will be no harvest this year". ”
Bai Bing's words were very soft, and his voice was like a soft sigh.
“…… That night, it was very windy and the rain was very rapid. It was as if I heard the sky cracking, and then I was woken up in my sleep by the pouring rain. There was rain and lightning everywhere, and the ground in the village was white and full of water. Many people struggled in the water, crying and screaming. Later, I learned that the dam of the Yangtze River had burst and floodwaters poured in, and more than 30 villages, including ours, were flooded. The rain that night was cold, very cold, and I shivered from the cold. ”
Lin Jue's face was solemn and frowned, he had seen the scene of the monstrous flood, the water and fire were ruthless, it was the most ferocious and cruel disaster. It can easily devour countless lives.
"My father and mother put me and my sister on the door panel, and they pushed us through the water, from midnight until dawn. When I was about to reach land, a current rushed in and washed me off the door. I choked on several mouthfuls of water and washed it away with the current. Daddy desperately chased in the water, and my mother cried loudly in the distance. Finally, I got caught in a branch, and my father grabbed me and threw me into the mud on the shore. I didn't understand anything and didn't know what was going on. Later, I found out that my father had been washed away by the water. Daddy was exhausted trying to save me, and he was washed away without a trace......"
A teardrop hung on Bai Bing's long eyelashes, and then slowly slid down his cheeks.
Lin Jue felt compassion in his heart, there was nothing more tragic in the world than this. Goodbye is in a flash. And what makes people sigh is that they pity the hearts of parents all over the world, and when they are in danger, they would rather save their children regardless of danger, which is the greatness and brilliance of human nature. Even if it is just an ordinary farmer, it is engraved in the bones.
"My mother fled with us sisters while crying, and I don't know how long we walked, we entered Yangzhou City. The city was full of refugees, all ragged and exhausted. Many people gathered in front of the yamen to wait for relief, but there was only one meal of porridge and rice a day, and the thin ones could see the shadow of a person, how could they live? My sister and I were dizzy from hunger, and my mother gave us her share. At that time, we were ignorant, so we grabbed it and drank it, but we didn't know that my mother hadn't eaten for a few days. It's a gruel for a day, and it's still gone after a few days. Some people gathered and looted the official warehouse and set fire to the grain. The government was furious and decided not to provide relief, and sent officers and soldiers to drive the refugees out of the city. When the mess was in a mess, in order to let her sister live, her mother gave her sister to a youth hall as a maid. My mother took me out of the city with many people. ”
Lin Jue nodded slowly, it turned out that Qin Xiaoxiao's entry into the Qinglou was at that time. It's not surprising that the vast majority of people don't let their daughters into the Academy. As long as there is a glimmer of life, I will not do that. Unless it's a matter of life and death. In order to survive, the rest is ignored. And the brothel of Qinglou also uses this opportunity to get those underage girls. first became a handyman, and then she was trained to become a red card and a cash cow. In a sense, this is also a way to take advantage of others' danger. But in those moments, it's what you want. Because you have to live, you have to do it. Bai Bing was only three years old at the time, and it was difficult for him to take care of himself, and he couldn't do things, otherwise Bai Bing would probably have to enter the Qinglou at that time.
"My mother carried me on my back for a long, long time, and finally, my mother really couldn't walk, we went to a ruined temple, and my mother put me on the offering table in front of the Buddhist shrine and sat down, kissed my face with tears, and said to find me something to eat. How do I know...... Mother is gone...... It became a recipe for eternity. Mother, she couldn't bear it anymore and committed suicide by throwing herself into the river. Woooooo ”
Bai Bing recalled the painful scene again, and finally couldn't control his emotions, put his hand on the pillar, put his head against the crook of his arm and cried bitterly.
Lin Jue sighed lightly, stepped forward, and handed over a handkerchief.
"White girl, mourn, mourn. After so many years, Lingtang Lingzun would be extremely relieved to know that your sisters have grown up. Don't cry, sit down, go over and sit down and talk. Lin Jue said in a low voice.
Bai Bing raised his head and looked at the handkerchief handed over by Lin Jue, but he didn't take it, but he thanked him in his mouth. He wiped his tears with his sleeve and walked to the table and sat down slowly. Lin Jue withdrew his handkerchief and walked over to sit across from her.
“…… I cried and slept in the ruined temple, and when I woke up, I was already carrying it on a person's back. The man gave me a piece of bread, the best bread I ever had in my life. I said I was looking for my mother, and the man said that my mother had gone to heaven and that I couldn't find her. The man asked me if I would like to go with her, and I had baked cakes to eat every day, and I said yes, so the man put me down and told me to kowtow to the master......"
Lin Jue said softly: "This person is your master in Mobei, right?" ”
Bai Bing nodded slowly, "Yes." My master happened to pass by the broken temple, and she saw my mother commit suicide by throwing herself into the river, and she also saw me in the broken temple, so she saved me. The master took me to the mountains and wilderness of Mobei, taught me martial arts, taught me to read and write, and raised me. I grew up in Mobei when I was three years old and never came to the Central Plains. ”
Lin Jue nodded slowly and said, "The girl's life experience is scattered, which is embarrassing. Fortunately, God has eyes, the girl survived, and learned martial arts. Speaking of which, respecting the teacher's kindness is as heavy as Mount Tai. ”
Bai Bing nodded and said, "My teacher is like my mother, and her kindness is naturally deep. Although she sometimes beat and scolded me, I knew that she loved me in her heart. It's just that she has experienced too much and is too bitter in her heart, so she has a bad temper. ”
Lin Jue frowned and said, "Forgive me, the girl still hasn't told me about the Demon Sound Gate and the reason why the girl can't stay in the capital. ”
Bai Bing smiled slightly, nodded and said, "I'm sorry, I rarely talk so much to people, these things have been held back for too long, and when I talk about them, they will be endless, but the godfather is bored." ”
Lin Jue hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Why do you say that you are bored?" Actually, I can empathize. ”
"What? Did Lin Gongzi also have a lot of water at home when he was a child? Bai Bing asked with wide eyes.
Lin Jue smiled bitterly: "That's not true, what I'm saying is that my parents have long since died." You and I are both parentless people, so we can empathize. It's just that your experience is even more miserable than mine, and I at least don't have to worry about food and clothing, and I don't have to be displaced. ”
It turned out that Lin Jue was also an orphan whose parents died, which made Bai Bing psychologically close to Lin Jue. Sometimes people are like this, with similar experiences and pains, similar trajectories of fate, and naturally a sense of closeness arises. At least now Bai Bing is no longer as repulsive to Lin Jue as before, and even has some disgust.
"My master is a disciple of the Demon Yin Sect. Forty years ago, it was also true that the master of the Demon Yin Sect was surrounded and chased by the people of the rivers and lakes, and the ancestor Jin Gu was killed by others, and there were not many disciples under the Demon Yin Sect, and after being hunted down and killed by those so-called decent people, almost no one survived. But my master survived. My master's surname is Bai, and the boudoir word is Yushuang. I took my master's surname. Bai Bing said softly.
"The reason why the Venerable Master lives in Mobei is also to avoid the pursuit of the Jianghu sect, right?" Lin Jue asked.
"Yes, they are all ruthless and unreasonable people, if the master stays in the Central Plains, he will be hunted down and killed by them, so the master fled to Mobei. When I was sixteen years old, my master told me everything, including the reason why my Demon Sound Gate was destroyed. That's not the reason why you heard people say that the so-called My Demon Voice Sect is an evil sect, and the female disciples of the sect seduce decent children. In fact, I'm innocent, and I'm a victim. Bai Bing said in a deep voice.
Lin Jue became more and more interested, and said softly: "Tell me more details, what is going on?" ”
