Hongjian Yupan

Chapter 25

Riding a Crane to the West, an Orphan Girl's Sorrow (1)

It is said that Yi Qiaoqian was still living in Cheng's residence, at first she practiced martial arts for two days, then she got tired and went to play around, Cheng Hongjian would play with her when she had some free time, no problem.Several days passed like this, seeing that New Year's Eve was approaching, Cheng Zhuo ordered the housekeeper to prepare two carts of New Year's goods, then rolled up the ostentatious calligraphy, held it in his arms, and sent Yi Qiaoqian home for the New Year.Cheng Hongjian wanted to visit his master, so he asked to go with him, Cheng Zhuo saw that his son looked very good, not as weak as before, so he readily agreed.Qin Haoxuan and Duan Feng had nothing to do, so they boarded the carriage with Cheng Zhuo and enjoyed the beautiful scenery outside the window together.Cheng and Yi have no suspicions when they are young, they ride in another car to play and play, needless to say they are happy on the way.

Dozens of servants from Cheng's mansion surrounded the carriage and went straight to the alley in front of Yi Mohan's house.Nearby is lonely and desolate, and there is nothing to praise.Yi Qiaoqian jumped out of the car and shouted happily: "Grandpa, I'm back!" While speaking, she walked to the front of the house as if she was walking on scattered duckweed, and when she pushed open the door, she couldn't help snickering, and turned around. And lightly, he walked towards the house.The rest were waiting respectfully for Yi Mohan to invite him in, when Qiaoqian's shouts came from inside the room, and there was some crying, which made people's hearts tense.

Cheng Hongjian rushed into the house first, but seeing Qiaoqian pushing his wife hard, begging bitterly: "Grandpa! Grandpa?????? wake up?????" , but Yi Mohan lay stiffly on the cold couch, closed his eyes, and did not move at all.

When the rest of the crowd entered the house, Qin Haoxuan stretched out his fingers to probe Yi Mohan's breath, then shook his head and sighed: "The old man is getting old, it is inevitable that he will suddenly fall ill and die." Everyone was stunned, Cheng Hong Gradually she couldn't help crying, and then knelt down beside Yi Mohan's bed, sobbing and begging: "Master????? Sister Qiaoqian has returned home????? Please wake up quickly?????"

After going on like this for a long time, Qiaoqian couldn't help weeping, and Hung-chien sobbed and comforted him from the side. Duan Feng was a rough man after all, so he inevitably became more and more anxious at this moment, and he couldn't help but think to himself: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are normal, like this Crying and crying like this, how can there be a heroic posture." Thinking of this, Yan said angrily: "There is no one who will not die when you are old. It will be very useful for you to cry like this, so that the old man will not be able to rest in peace."

Yi Qiaoqian didn't want to bear the truth, so she shouted at Duan Feng: "No! You are talking nonsense! Grandpa is just asleep, he will never leave me alone." Lie on Yi Mohan's body again, and asked tremblingly: "Grandpa, you are my only family member in this world, do you really have the heart to leave Qiaoqian behind?????? As long as you wake up, Qiaoqian will go back I will be your good granddaughter, and I will listen to you in everything??????" Cheng Zhuo couldn't help but sighed when he saw that he was crying and sad, and said: "Everyone might as well wait outside the door first, and these two children will accompany you more. Master Yi."

Everyone in Cheng Zhuo withdrew to wait for each other, leaving only Hung Chien to accompany Qiaoqian.Let's say that Yi Mohan had always been poor, the furnishings in the house were simple and simple, and his possessions were simple. It was still the middle of winter, but there was no carbon in the brazier.

All around you can only hear the light movement of the new wind, and there is no other sound besides this.Yi Qiaoqian was sad for a long time, and then she said: "Brother Jian?????" Cheng Hongjian responded in a low voice, and Yi Qiaoqian said: "Grandpa likes to be clean very much. He always said that people don't need to dress luxuriously, but they must be neat and tidy. , I want??????" At the end of the sentence, he sobbed again, and continued: "I want to scrub his body?????? Make him clean and go on the road??????" Cheng Hongjian Slightly nodding his head, he turned to look around and saw a basin of clear water in the room with two pieces of coarse cloth hanging on the side of the basin, so he brought the water to Yi Mohan's bed, and accompanied Qiaoqian to wipe it carefully.

The water in the basin was cold and cold, Yi Qiaoqian's tears rolled down her cheeks, Cheng Hongjian felt melancholy, and couldn't help thinking to himself: "Sister Qiaoqian always laughs and laughs, I have never seen her cry... ???? Alas, this time my wife passed away, and Qiaoqian has no relatives. I will definitely ask my father to take him in, so that my wife can go away with peace of mind???????"

"There seems to be some blood on the top of Grandpa's head. Come and take a look." Cheng Hongjian looked at the place Yi Qiaoqian was pointing at, and saw a little blood on the end of the master's bun, and it was overflowing from the scar the size of a needle eye. Call everyone outside the house to come in.

Qin Haoxuan looked at Yi Mohan's wound, there seemed to be something like an embroidery needle, which was deeply inserted into his Baihui acupoint, and immediately exerted all his strength to press the back of Yi Mohan's head with one hand, slowly pushing it from bottom to top, then Then the black head appeared on the thin object, Qin Haoxuan pulled it out forcefully, Yu Zhong looked intently, the hard object inserted into the brain was exactly a thin wooden needle.

Qin Haoxuan's heart shivered, and he said: "At first I thought that Master Yi was old and died of a sudden illness, but now it seems that he was murdered by an adulterer." After finishing speaking, he took out a brocade handkerchief from his bosom and put it on Spread it slowly, and take out a thin needle with the same shape.Yi Qiaoqian immediately asked, "Why do you have this kind of needle?"

Qin Haoxuan let out a long sigh, and said: "When I sneaked into the palace that day, the great eunuch Zhao Cheng'en happened to come over to fight, and I got this wooden needle in my body. After my hidden weapon was forced out, I saw that this hidden weapon is not ordinary wood, its texture is as hard as gold. Tie, I put it in my arms. It’s just that the thin needle that hurt me has been poisoned, while the one of Xueshi Yi is not poisonous, and its death is like a sudden death, it’s hard to see that it was murdered by someone.” The voice just said After falling, Duan Feng said in a rough voice: "Damn it, these two hidden weapons are exactly the same, Yi Mohan must have been killed by that eunuch Zhao Chengen."

Yi Qiaoqian wept and begged, "Uncle Qin, Qiaoqian begs you to kill Zhao Chengen for me and avenge my grandfather." As she spoke, she kowtowed repeatedly.Qin Haoxuan hurriedly helped him up, and comforted him with words: "My good boy, even if you didn't ask for it, Qin will avenge you, but Zhao Chengen's martial arts are worse than mine, and now the palace will be heavily guarded. How about When I return to the main altar of the Xuanyuan Sect, I will report this matter to the head of the sect, and ask him to send me some men, so Uncle Qin will find an opportunity to avenge you, okay?" While speaking, his face was full of apology, and his heart seemed to be whipped.

Yi Qiaoqian sobbed angrily: "You don't dare to go to the palace at all. Going back?????? Going back to the Xuanyuan sect still won't help me?????? I have to find him myself, I don't need your help !” As soon as the words fell, he rushed out of the house.Qin Haoxuan poked the opponent's jade pillow point with his finger, Qiaoqian suddenly felt his eyes darken and fell asleep.Qin Haoxuan shook his head and sighed: "This child has encountered a catastrophe, and her mood is agitated. I tap her acupuncture points to rest for a while, and she will wake up tomorrow."

Yi Qiaoqian dreamed of grandpa in a trance, he was holding his little hand and playing under the tree, and after a while, another couple came towards her.Although Qiaoqian couldn't see the faces of the two of them clearly, she knew that they were her parents, and her father was holding a very beautiful lantern in his hand.Just when Yi Qiaoqian was feeling relieved, her mother suddenly said kindly: "Your grandfather will go to a faraway place with your parents, but we will always miss you. You must be good at home and take good care of yourself??? ???" Yi Qiaoqian's eyes filled with tears, and she begged earnestly: "Qiaoqian listens to you in everything, but don't leave me." As soon as the words fell, seeing her mother gently shaking her head, everyone drifted away gently into the distance , the figure became more and more blurred, and then disappeared.In the desolate courtyard, only Qiaoqian was left alone, calling helplessly: "Daddy! Mother! Grandpa??????"

"Sister Qiaoqian, wake up, wake up??????" Yi Qiaoqian leisurely opened her eyes, and saw that Fu had returned to Hongjian's house, and the other person was holding her hand tightly, with an extremely concerned look on her face.Yi Qiaoqian forced herself to smile, and said, "I'm fine, but my hand hurts when you hold it."

Cheng Hongjian came back to his senses, then let go of his hand, and said with an apologetic smile, "It's all my fault. I just saw that you were having a nightmare, and it seemed very difficult. That's why??????????? ??”

Yi Qiaoqian leaned against the head of the bed, put her hand on Cheng Hongjian's wrist, and said angrily, "Brother Jian is so stupid, how can I blame you for this, I know you care about me, that's why you are so reckless, so that He's in a hurry." Cheng Hongjian smiled, his cheeks were warm, and then he said: "You don't want to be like a hero Qin again." He paused for a moment, and then continued: "Last night, the hero Qin brought Uncle Duan sneaked into the palace to find out the situation, indeed the defense has been strengthened there, and there are Habayashi soldiers everywhere, if it is not for the cover of night, they will be discovered by the soldiers."

Yi Qiaoqian sighed softly, and said: "This is really embarrassing for him. Since I am a grandparent, I should avenge this big revenge. In the future, when you go to Xuanyuan School to practice martial arts, I will go with you." Cheng Hung-chien nodded, and said softly, "You can take a rest first, and we'll talk about other things later." As soon as he finished speaking, Yi Qiaoqian asked, "Where is my grandfather's body?"

Cheng Hongjian said: "My father bought a pair of nanmu coffins for his wife and enshrined his old man, sister Qiaoqian, don't worry..." He said with a rather sad expression.Yi Qiaoqian suppressed her tears, sobbed and said, "I?????? I want to see grandpa again??????"

Cheng Hongjian helped Qiaoqian get off the bed, wrapped her in a brocade quilt, and then led her to open the door, just in time for the snow to fall like goose feathers, and the green bamboos in the courtyard to rustle.The two children walked straight into the mourning hall, but they saw that Cheng Zhuo and others were paying their respects to themselves. On both sides of the coffin, there was a pair of elegiac couplets written "Although the clouds and shadows are gone, the cuckoo's sound is still cold at night", the writing style is vigorous and sad , between the lines are all desolate.

Yi Qiaoqian walked slowly into the mourning hall, shedding tears in front of Yi Mohan's coffin, then knelt down to everyone in Cheng Zhuo and said, "Thank you to the elders for your help. Qiaoqian has nothing to repay, so I can only give you here." You kowtow." After he was about to kowtow, Cheng Zhuo hurriedly helped him up, and comforted him, "Niece, you don't have to be so polite, this is my job, you are helpless now, why don't you stay in my house in the future Life, I will take good care of you for Mrs. Yi, so that you will not be wronged." Yi Qiaoqian said: "Thank you Uncle Cheng for your concern, but I must go to the Xuanyuan School to learn art, so that I can avenge my grandfather in the future." Cheng Zhuo Sighing lightly, he promised Qiaoqian to stay until spring, and let her and Hongjian go to the main altar of Xuanyuan School to practice.

After hearing this, Yi Qiaoqian had no choice but to stay in the mansion for a while, during which time she accompanied Hongjian to practice martial arts, and she finally made some progress.In his spare time, Cheng Hongjian led Yi Qiaoqian to watch the rare and exotic animals raised in the mansion, which gradually eased his inner sadness.In the blink of an eye, the new year is approaching, and after the ancestor worship in the Cheng family, Yi Qiaoqian immediately begged Hongjian to bid farewell to Cheng Zhuo, and then went to the main altar.

Cheng Zhuo watched that his son was getting stronger and stronger, so he just entrusted Qin and Duan to take care of him, and prepared enough gold, silver, silk and satin for the two children.Seeing this situation, Qin Haoxuan said to Cheng Zhuo: "This time I take Hongjian up to the mountain for training, I just ask him to wear it as a commoner, there is no need to be so luxurious."

Huangshan, where the main altar of the Xuanyuan School is located, is far away from Chang'an. Qin and Duan had to take care of two children. The main altar rushed away.
