Chapter 20 Once upon a time
After leaving Qiuluo City, Shen Kuang and his wife just followed the official road and headed west.
As the saying goes, cannibals are short-tongued. Shen Kuang looked at the jug hanging on his waist and drank the wine. He thought that the master would not trick him again next time. On this trip to Qiuluo City, before It was delayed for more than ten days, and I hadn't seen the master for a while. Shen Kuang still missed him a little.
Although there was a carriage on the way back, due to Su Yao's injury, they could not go too fast. It would take at least five days to get back to Meiwu City.
Thinking of Su Yao, Shen Kuang realized that Su Yao did not take the initiative to communicate with him during the journey, and no sound was heard from the carriage.
"Miss Su, if you need my help, please tell me." Shen Kuang turned around and asked tentatively outside the gauze curtain. The purpose of the inquiry was naturally to worry about Su Yao's condition. After all, Su Yao's injury was serious and she was injured last night. After being rescued from the gate of hell, she had to travel a long way today. The fatigue of traveling and traveling was a big test for Su Yao, who was already weak.
Su Yao in the carriage did not answer immediately. After a while, Shen Kuang heard a weak voice coming from the carriage: "Thank you for saving me!"
The atmosphere between the two people became much closer because of such a thank you. Shen Kuang smiled when he heard the words: "Haha, you're welcome, Miss Su. We travel around the world and we naturally help when we can, so you don't have to take it to heart. "
"Do you know that I am wanted by the court?"
"I know!" Shen Kuang replied nonchalantly.
"The people in Supervisor Tiansi are very difficult to deal with. Aren't you afraid that you will harm yourself because you saved me?" Su Yao asked these words with great determination. She knew that she should not question other people's good intentions. , but, she still asked.
Why save?
When hearing this question, Shen Kuang himself fell silent. Why should he be saved? He thought for a long time and did not give an answer because there was no answer.
"Shigure and I didn't think too much when we rescued you, but later we found out about your life experience. Actually... I still didn't have any fluctuations in my heart. Maybe it was because I wasn't familiar with the so-called Jian Tiansi, or maybe We must have had similar experiences. Miss Su, can you tell me about what happened twenty years ago?"
This question has been lingering in Shen Kuang's mind for a long time, and the mysteries about his life experience are like dark clouds in the sky, and only now are they gradually showing signs of dissipating.
"Are you...the only one who survived?" Su Yao said softly in the carriage.

Hearing Su Yao's words, Shen Kuang's tone paused. "Actually, I have no memory of the past. The thing I heard the master talk about the most since I was a child is practicing swordsmanship. If it weren't for this time I came to Qiuluo City to meet When it comes to Senior Han, I may never know that something like that happened to me!"
There was a bit of sadness in Shen Kuang's tone, and Su Yao could hear it.
"Actually, my memories of that incident were all told to me by Uncle Mu later. He was my elder and one of the people who survived that year. Uncle Mu and others knew the reason for that incident but they were unwilling to tell me. I, they are afraid that I will be in danger again. Uncle Mu told me that the imperial court, Supervisor Tiansi and the underground network hidden in the dark were all participants in that incident, and they have a blood feud with us, from childhood to Uncle Damu told me to never forget what the imperial court did to my Su family." Su Yao's tone was not excited. Maybe it was because she had known about this matter for a long time, so her tone at the moment was indescribably cold. .
Su Yao also understood the coldness and seriousness, but the master never mentioned that matter to him, let alone any mention of hatred.
"Since I was a child, my master has never told me anything about my life experience. I have asked before, but he didn't tell me, let alone the hatred about the family."
There was no emotion in Shen Kuang's tone at this time, so Su Yao in the car didn't know what kind of mood he was in.
"It's been twenty years, why were you exposed again?" After a moment, Shen Kuang asked again slowly.
"People from the imperial court have never stopped looking for us. Uncle Mu once told me that there is something the imperial court wants among us."
"This group of us?" Shen Kuang asked.
"Well! Apart from you and me, there are people from several other families who are still alive, but I don't know where they are hiding now."
"Are you talking about the Jiang family, the Han family and the Yang family?"
"Um!"
"That thing?"
"Our Su family no longer has it, so I don't know what it is? Uncle Mu said there is a big secret hidden in it."
"Then how were you discovered this time?"
"There is a traitor in the family. Maybe he has been incognito for too long and he doesn't want to do it anymore. But his attempt to serve the court is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger, and he ends up dead in the end." Su Yao remembered again. After remembering the scene last night, he clenched his fists unconsciously.

The afternoon sun was full of warmth, and the conversation with Su Yao gave Shen Kuang an outline of what happened in the past. It was probably just a secret that the imperial court coveted from several families in the East China Sea, and then he became murderous and massacred them all. After all, he finally took possession of the secret as his own. However, so far, the court seems to have not succeeded.
"Let's put those things aside for the time being. You can follow me back to Meiwu City to recuperate in peace, and then consider the next step after your injury is healed. It just so happens that you can ask my master about the things that happened that year when you go back this time, and about your injuries. If my master takes action, it will definitely heal faster." At this moment, Shen Kuang's tone was a little more indifferent, for his own sake and for Su Yao's sake.
The reason why Master and Senior Han didn't tell him the whole thing about that year was not because they wanted him to forget about it, but because at the moment he didn't have the ability to figure out what happened back then on his own. There wasn't as much hatred in his current feelings as Su Ya. Because he has less contact, but at the same time he also knows that he will have to take on the responsibility that belongs to him sooner or later. Maybe Su Yao can't let it go so calmly, but in this situation, she can do something for her It is also beneficial for you.
Su Yao in the carriage was looking at the roof of the carriage in a daze. Her expression was indifferent and she couldn't tell whether she was happy or sad.
Her heart was actually dead since last night. She thought she would be killed like the rest of the family, but she didn't expect that she would be saved by Shen Kuang and Shi Yu. She still hated it that morning , why she was the only one who survived. In the past, she had uncles, brothers, relatives and sisters, but now, she was the only one left. She suddenly felt that she could not avenge the revenge that Uncle Mu once told her, and she wanted to catch him She wanted to split the nightmares in her mind with her sword, but she couldn't do it at that time.
But when she got to know Shigure and Shen Kuang, she slowly came around. The boy who had the same experience as him was actually burdened with more than she was, so why couldn't she face it like that boy? ?
Perhaps this is the reason why God allowed her to survive, so that she can bear the family's hatred alone. Although that will take a long time, maybe one day in the future, the sword in her hand will be sheathed again, and she
You can go back to the East China Sea to pay homage to those family members who don't even have tombs.
The carriage was driving slowly on the official road, facing the setting sun in the distance, creating a long reflection!
