Uncle Nine

Chapter 275
Daizhou.

In the continuous drizzle, a baby's cry in front of Huamanlou broke the original calm.

Mr. Gui walked out of the door rubbing his sleepy eyes, saw the child who was placed at the door at a glance, and immediately shouted, "Whose family? Whose children, why are they being thrown around? Do you think this is Shantang? Whose family, hurry up and take it back, if you don’t take it back, be careful that I throw it in the back mountain to feed the wild dogs!"

No one responded to this call, and people who got up early to work on the street in twos and threes looked at him curiously, but none of them paid any attention.

"What are you shouting for?" A Miao came out from inside, yawning.

When she was young, A Miao had a graceful figure and an excellent appearance.Glancing at Mr. Gui, he said disdainfully, "Those who don't know, thought you had a funeral early in the morning! Why don't you let people sleep?"

"Here, it's this thing." Following Gui Gong's gaze, A Miao Niang was stunned, "Where did the child come from?"

"This child?" A Miao looked around the street, "Whose family?"

Seeing that no one answered, A Miao quickly picked up the child, "In such a cold day, who is heartless, spoiling the child like this."

Mr. Turtle hurriedly stopped him, "Hey, Miss Miao, we are open for business, you get a child to come in—"

"Which girl in Huamanlou was not trained from a young age? What's more, I just discussed with my mother two days ago to replace Huamanlou with her. In the future, I will be your proprietress. Whether I want to take this child in or not is still my turn." Cut in. Let's go!" A Miao hugged the child in without saying a word.

On a carriage far away, Jia Dahai lowered the bamboo hat a little with relief, and glanced at Zhu Cheng who put the child in the basket and carried it on his back, "From now on, let's leave here! I don't intend to leave."

Zhu Cheng frowned, "Then let's say goodbye, I - I don't intend to stay."

Jia Dahai glanced at Zhu Cheng, "It's up to you, but I'm afraid it won't be too convenient for you to take the child alone."

"You don't need to worry about it. Everyone has his own life. I will come back often. Now, there are only two brothers left, you and me." Zhu Cheng lowered his eyes and clenched the long sword in his hand.

Jia Dahai sighed softly, "The third brother died for you and me, if there is a next life, I will definitely return his favor."

"Let's go!" Zhu Cheng cupped his fists, "Take care."

Running in the opposite direction, Jia Dahai has since become Yuan Shenghai.

This year, because of Dongfangyue's crimes, many refugees came and went to and from Daizhou.

On the first day Jia Dahai's Zhenyuan Escort Bureau opened, a little boy fainted next to the stone lion.Xu Shi felt uneasy that he had left the innocent child in a brothel, so Jia Dahai adopted the child as his heir and named him Yuan Hu.

This child is also pitiful, his parents are starving to death, and he also came all the way to beg for food.

Fortunately, the child is simple and honest. Having a child in the family these years has also added a lot of fun to Jia Dahai.Now that he thinks about it, maybe he really did something wrong back then, and Bao Yao kept her child, perhaps not because she hated Dongfang Yue, but because she gave him a handle.

It's really hard to say about things like throwing rats.

So many years in Daizhou, Jia Dahai did not dare to return to the capital.

With Chuanguo Yuxi, has been hiding in Daizhou.

One is worried that if the truth is revealed, her daughter will be in danger, and no matter how much she misses her, she dare not go back to see her.

The second is worried that the Chuanguo Yuxi will fall into the hands of Dongfang Yue, and he is ashamed of entrusting it to the late emperor.

I think the late emperor said that if the Zhao family's heirs succeed to the throne, they must return the Jade Seal of Chuanguo.But in order to keep himself alive and avoid being murdered by Dongfang Yue, Jia Dahai chose to escape from the world.

I am used to living a stable life, and the older I get, the more afraid I am of death.

It's just that Jia Dahai didn't think about beating him to death. Zhu Cheng actually didn't leave. Half a month after Xia Yu entered Huamanlou, he also quietly sent his daughter, who was less than one year old, into Huamanlou.

It wasn't that he hadn't observed that these women couldn't have children due to their own reasons, so they loved Xia Yu very much. Although they kept her, they didn't seem to treat her like an ordinary prostitute.

Not only that, but in the past two days, it seems that the child has been sent out to a wealthy family for adoption.

Such a good thing, Zhu Cheng is naturally relieved.

It's a pity that Zhu Cheng made a wrong calculation. Not everyone's children can get Xia Yu's care.

"It's the other way around. I really think my Huamanlou is a kindness hall? It's unreasonable to send the children here one by one!" A Miao was furious, sitting on the table with her arms crossed. A girl with delicate features at a young age.

"Mom, you see, these facial features are exquisite, and they must be a cash cow in the future." Mr. Gui stepped forward.

The girls around were also chattering, saying that this girl doll is pretty.

Taking a closer look, A Miao nodded, "Nonsense, I've noticed it a long time ago. Since you don't need to spend money to buy a child, it's okay. Then let's keep this child. A Li's end can't fit, I always You can't keep doing business at a loss." As he said that, he touched the child's body, "The skeleton is very thin, so I can't go wrong with dancing in the future. Stay here!"

"What's that called?" the crowd asked.

A Miao frowned, "Choose something nicer."

Everyone was chattering, although they were prostitutes, there were not a few who were proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.Someone said, this little girl was born pretty, so why not call her "Sparse Shadow", the so-called "Sparse Shadow" is used to describe plum blossoms.

"Let's call it Shuying!" A Miao gently pinched the child's fleshy jaw, "I hope it's not a loser."

Shuying is called Shuying, and the so-called Jiang Shuying is because Shuying always felt that other people had a surname, but she didn't, so she added it to herself.Jiang Shuying sounds nice too.

Because it was a rainy day, Ali followed Xia De, so Dongfang Yue's daughter became Xia Yu.

It rained heavily.

When the Xia family fell, Ali was very embarrassed, but she dragged Xia Yu to A Miao and refused to return it to A Miao, for fear that Xia Yu would be dragged to pick up the guests.How could a child who was brought up by himself be willing to be sent to such a place, not to mention that he came out of it.

Xu was afraid that Xia Yu would be bullied, and also because her family was really poor. From childhood to adulthood, Xia Yu wore clothes that Xia He didn't want, and then Aliniang changed the size for Xia Yu to wear.So Xia Yu has been wearing men's clothing, and as time goes by, no one can figure out whether Xia Yu is a man or a woman.

If she was older, no one would care about her gender. Even Xia Yu forgot that she was actually a woman.

When Zhu Cheng came back, he was also worried that Jia Dahai would know that his daughter was staying in Huamanlou, so he never dared to visit.But he was worried that Jia Dahai would monopolize Xia Yu alone, so he got close to Xia Yu and passed on his gambling skills to Xia Yu.

Xia Yu was born with an eccentric spirit. Although she doesn't know a single word, she is very good at heretics.No matter what you study, you must learn it once you learn it, except poetry, poetry, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Xia Yu often goes to play with Shuying, and will also bring news of Shuying to Zhu Cheng.

Xia Yu also likes to hang out with Huzi, running all over the mountains and plains, either setting up traps to catch game, or playing tricks on those who are on the road.But no one can catch her, she lives like a loach.

"Ayu, hurry up, it's going to be dark today." Huzi climbed down from the tree, "Everything is good in Hatoyama, but there are too many holes in the ground." He shouted twice, but there was no Xia Xia. Rain's response.

"Ayu?" Hu Zi walked forward in the direction of the trap, this girl set the trap ahead, why didn't she agree?
No one responded, Huzi frowned, and climbed up a taller tree. I saw Xia Yu heading in this direction earlier, why is there no one?There was a sudden thump in my heart, and I slapped my thigh, "It's broken, why don't you fall into the hole?"

I heard people say that there are some bottomless holes in Hatoyama, which can kill people.

Thinking of this, Huzi quickly climbed down the tree and ran forward, "Ayu? Where are you, Ayu? Answer me? Hey, is there anyone? Ayu! Ayu—" In the empty forest , Only the ravens and sparrows flew up in groups.

"Oops!" Hu Zi turned around and ran towards home, something was going to happen!

Hearing that Xia Yu was lost, Jia Dahai was also anxious. Although this girl was Dongfang Yue's daughter, she had grown up under her own supervision all these years. At worst, she was also her own niece. After all, she had to be called uncle. .

"Hurry up to Xia's house and let me know. I'll take someone to look for it." Jia Dahai led the bodyguards in the bodyguard bureau to search every inch of Jiushan.

When Aliniang heard that Xia Yu might have fallen into the hole, she was so frightened that she fainted on the spot, and it was Xia He who went to Huamanlou.Huamanlou exploded, and A Miaoniang directly copied the guy and led Guigong and Xia Yu's "mothers" to Hatoyama.Hatoyama that night was almost illuminated by bright torches.

Xia Yu only remembered that she missed her foot, and before she even had time to call for help, she fell down desperately.

When she woke up, she happened to be stuck on a pine tree hanging out of the rock wall, and only then did she save her life.She climbed slowly down the pine tree and finally landed on the ground.

There were injuries all over her body, but she was born with a quick healing ability, so there was nothing serious about it, except that her left arm was dislocated.

Clutching her sore arm, Xia Yu looked around. The hole was very deep. Looking up from the bottom, she could only see a small light the size of a thumb.When it gets dark, there is no light at all.

The inside of the cave was dark and damp, and it must have been warmer than the outside.

Gritting her teeth, Xia Yu carefully knelt down on one knee, pressed the palm of her left hand on the ground, and tightly held her painful shoulder with her right hand.Suddenly twisting her body, she heard a clear "crack" of bones, and she put the dislocated arm back in a daze.

Her back was drenched in cold sweat, and Xia Yu stood up only after the pain subsided a bit, "It really hurts."

"I haven't eaten meat for a long time. I didn't expect it to be human flesh." In the darkness, there was the sound of iron ropes being dragged, accompanied by a shrill female voice.

Xia Yu was startled, and suddenly looked around in the dark, "Who? Who is here? Is it a human or a ghost? Don't scare you, Mr. Xia. Let me tell you, Mr. Xia is not—"

Before he finished speaking, his body was suddenly dragged by a powerful force, and his shoes rubbed violently against the ground.Xia Yu just felt that her body was out of control at all, she leaped, was thrown out by this force, hit the stone wall fiercely, and then fell heavily.

With a muffled groan, Xia Yu endured the severe pain from all over her body, quickly got up and got into a very small cave.

Her body was already small, but her speed was extremely fast, which probably shocked the person in the darkness.

"This kid is also interesting, why don't you stay and play with me to relieve boredom. What's your name?" the woman asked.

Xia Yu was not to be outdone, "My name is Uncle Xia, if you don't mind, you can call me Uncle."

"It's from the brothel, right?" There was a giggling sound, which was creepy even for Xia Yu.It's like someone holding a knife and slowly cutting your neck on a cold and windy winter night.

Suddenly, the sound stopped abruptly, followed by a low coughing sound.

Xia Yu listened quietly, the sound of coughing—a slight ailment in her heart, Xia Yu said, "You have been coughing for a few days, it sounds a bit like tuberculosis."

"Consumption?" The woman sneered twice, "Being dead is better than never seeing the light of day here."

As if something had fallen, a little light scattered from above the rock wall.

Xia Yu hurriedly poked her head out to have a look. It was a small cave. In a corner of the cave, a woman was chained up.The woman was dressed in ragged clothes, covered with animal fur, with an unkempt appearance, which looked particularly hideous and terrifying.

What was even more frightening was that piles of animal bones were all over the ground, some of which were still rotting, even with their flesh and skin.It seems that they are all eaten by life.And right in the center of the pair of animal bones, there is a pair of human bones in cassock.This should be the monk's bones.

Xia Yu swallowed subconsciously, there was everything in this warm and humid cave.Looking up, you can still see a few snakes entwined on the dwarf pine on the stone wall, spitting out their letters.

The hairs all over her body stood up. No wonder this woman got sick because she ate wild animals.

"Sister, how long have you been locked up here?" Xia Yu asked carefully.

This elder sister made her feel very comfortable, and she smiled sharply, "How long? I don't know how long, one year? Two years? Or half a lifetime?" She suddenly stared at Xia Yu who was not far away, "How old are you? ?”

"Eight years old." Xia Yu blinked her bright eyes.

"Eight years old?" She cried and laughed, "I can't bear it anymore, come here."

Xia Yu didn't dare to move, and kept hiding.

"I told you to come here, didn't you hear?" She seemed angry, "Come here!"

Xia Yu knew that if the other party's martial arts were so high, if he really wanted to kill him, he wouldn't be able to escape at all.Taking a deep breath, Xia Yu walked out of the cave trembling slightly.The back of the neck is itchy, as if something is crawling.Little did she know that a pitch-black spider had landed on the back of her neck without a sound.

She was about to reach out to scratch, but was quickly pulled to the woman by a force.

Her eyes widened in shock, Xia Yu almost cried out.

It was a blood-stained face, and there was an unconcealable stench all over his body.A pair of eyes that were as bright as a wild animal, perhaps because they stayed in the dark for too long, actually had a slight green light.

"Who are you?" Xia Yu boldly blurted out.

"Who am I?" She was startled, hesitated for a long time as if she couldn't quite remember, "I am—who am I? Who is it?" She poked her head out and asked the albino monk's skeleton, "Hey, smelly monk, I Who? Who am I? No, I don’t remember? Who am I?”

Her eyes suddenly focused on Xia Yu's body, and she quickly touched Xia Yu's body with her hands, "The bones are good, I just watched you set your own bones, and you didn't even snort."

"It doesn't hurt anyone to hum, what's the use of humming?" Xia Yu struggled, trying to avoid her hands grabbing her lapel.

Those dirty black hands, with long nails that had not been trimmed for many years, were already bent and deformed, stained with blood.Such a hand, just one glance is enough to make people sick.

"I like this temperament!" She suddenly laughed, looking at Xia Yu like a child, "You know? You came to die for me. You'll remember me, won't you?"

Xia Yu nodded, "If you let me go, I can bury you."

"That's great. That's great!" She said to herself, "My whole body of kung fu has been locked by this old monk's life-long kung fu. If I rush to the acupoint with blood, I will die soon. I remember that I still have enemies, you help me avenge, and I will give you all of my life's skills."

Xia Yu was stunned, "I'm only eight years old, how can I take revenge?"

She suddenly turned her eyes cold, and a murderous look rose, "So, you won't help me avenge?"

"No, no, I'll help you avenge. You, tell me, who are you going to kill? As long as it's on the border of Daizhou, if you say something, I promise to kill him for you." Xia Yu hurriedly changed her words, She is naturally afraid of death, and she is naturally the most clever.

The woman hesitated for a moment, "What's your name? Dong—— Dongfang—don't remember? Why don't you remember?" She let go of Xia Yu and grabbed her hair crazily, like crazy, " Who is he? Who is he?"

Xia Yu thought to herself, this woman must have been trapped here for too long, so she lost her mind.I thought about revenge, but I couldn't even remember who my enemy was, so it was really pitiful.But she didn't dare to say anything now, for fear of angering the woman.

Suddenly, the woman became quiet again, suddenly grabbed Xia Yu's wrist, and directly threw Xia Yu into the air.The strength was so great and the speed was so fast, Xia Yu didn't even have time to react.

The body flew up, then fell quickly, and stopped above the woman in shock.

Xia Yu felt that she was floating up, her body was limp as if floating on the clouds.

In an instant, a chilly air poured into her body from all directions, quickly occupying every corner of her body.

"It hurts!" Xia Yu yelled, in exchange for the woman's sharper laughter.

"It's right that it hurts. I also have to pick people in this martial arts. You can take as much as you can if you can bear it. If you can't bear it, you can only freeze to death and become my food in the end." The woman smiled, " Take it, take it, give it all to you!"

The bone-piercing cold seemed to freeze the blood in her whole body. Xia Yu felt that she was about to die. She instinctively wanted to resist and resist the entry of this cold current. Unfortunately, she was only an eight-year-old child, and there was nothing she could do.

Consciousness gradually blurred, and the whole person fell into an ice cellar.An eight-year-old child, even if you have strange bones, will definitely not be able to withstand decades of skill alone, let alone such a vicious unique skill.

Suddenly, something bit the back of the neck, causing a sharp pain.

There was a buzzing sound in my head, as if an unknown warm current rushed through my whole body in an instant.When the weather is overcast and cold, there is a temperature as warm as spring water to slowly offset it.As her body gradually warmed up, Xia Yu felt so comfortable that she felt a little drowsy.The eight extraordinary meridians in the body seemed to be opened up in an instant, and the whole person could even breathe very freely.

"Master, can you send me out?" Xia Yu asked.

Seeing that Xia Yu could absorb all of her inner strength, the woman went crazy and poured her inner strength into Xia Yu's body.

"Do you want to go out? Okay, I'll send you out now. Remember to find my enemy!" The woman's deafening voice resounded through the entire cave in an instant, with the potential of landslides and ground cracks.

"Master?" Xia Yu didn't have time to say more when her body was suddenly thrown into the air like a sandbag.

The woman threw the sandbag with great strength, almost putting all her strength into it, and it can also be said to be desperate.Xia Yu's scream resounded throughout the mountains.The strength of the rapid ascent disappeared suddenly the moment Xia Yu flew out of the cave, and her thin body quickly rolled down the hillside. When it stopped, Xia Yu only felt her head hit the tree trunk hard, and then she lost consciousness.

In the cave, the woman scratched her scalp until it was dripping with blood, and suddenly her ferocious green eyes widened, "I am Yao Ji? I am Yao Ji, the lord of Baihua Palace, and I want to kill Dongfang Yue! Dongfang Yue!" She suddenly raised her head and roared, "Dongfang Yue, I'm going to kill you—"

But a mouthful of blood crawled out of his mouth, and he fell heavily to the ground.Not far away, the monk's skeleton remained motionless, sitting calmly.After so many years, ashes to ashes and dust to dust can finally be returned.

That's right, she is Yao Ji, the lord of Baihua Palace.

Once mighty, now insane and miserable.

It has to be said that it is a kind of retribution, retribution for her past killings, and also made her reincarnation in this life.Everything started because of Xia Yu, and now it also ends because of Xia Yu. It really is a retribution.

When the people in Huamanlou found Xia Yu, Xia Yu was still in a coma. Jia Dahai carried her back to Huamanlou without saying a word, and A Miao Niang quickly called a doctor.The doctor said that Xia Yu was also lucky, and there were no serious injuries on her body, just some minor scratches.He was hit on the head, but his life was not in danger, so he saved his life like this.

Perhaps it was because of the injury to his head that Xia Yu couldn't remember anything about what happened in the cave.

He asked three questions and didn't know, and those crappy doctors couldn't detect the wonderful changes in Xia Yu's body.

Knowing that day, when Xia Yu and Hu Zi went up the mountain, they were accidentally bitten by a black spider, and instantly became another person, Xia Yu knew that there was such a miraculous change in her body.Hu Zi thought Xia Yu was possessed by a ghost at the time, and after Xia Yu woke up, he dragged her to the temple to drive out the ghost. Finally, the host of the temple told Xia Yu that someone forcibly sealed up her inner body.It's just that Xia Yu has never practiced mental techniques, so she can't use them freely.

As for why it has to be bitten by a spider to use it, the host is also puzzled.

Xia Yu scratched the back of her neck. She didn't forget what happened in the cave, and naturally she didn't remember that when Yao Ji was instilling her inner strength, she accidentally taught the "Black Widow" to take a bite, and it was a blessing in disguise to accept Yao Ji. All internal energy is stored in the body.

Since then, this has become a secret between her and Huzi.

Black Widow is responsible for robbing the rich and helping the poor in the middle of the night, and Huzi is responsible for finding her whereabouts early in the morning.

The two of them had a great time, until - Zhao Shuo appeared.
