Chapter 25 Destiny
Chen Wenze and Shangguan Chouchou sighed for a while, lamenting the misfortune of such heroes.

Shangguan Chouchou came back to his senses and asked: "You said just now that three generations of your family have paid off, so did your father also die in battle?"

"No, he was killed by a tiger." Wang Jitu frowned.

"Tiger? Are there tigers in Shu?" Shangguan Chouchou asked in surprise.

Chen Wenze said: "When the Kingdom of Shu opened its dynasty, tigers were infested every year. In the county annals of Fugui County, a small town, it was recorded that 'there were tigers and leopards in groups, day and night they traveled in groups in the villages and villages of the city.' This means that the tigers have become huge. endangered.

At that time, tigers and leopards were ferocious, and they attacked people when they encountered them, and there were even rumors that they knocked down the city wall.But those small towns are all made of earthen walls, and it's justified to be knocked down by big beasts.In this way, people will definitely not be able to guard against the tiger, and those who can escape will flee to other places.I heard that places where tigers are seriously infested are basically cut off from human habitation. "

Shangguan Chouchou was surprised and said: "It's so serious, what happened later?"

Chen Wenze said: "It is said that later the Taizu of Shu called tiger hunters from all over the country to assist the army and destroy all those tigers."

Shangguan Chouchou turned his head to look at Wang Jitu and said, "Will your father be at that time...?"

Wang Jitu shook his head, but he was also interested in the fact that there were tigers in the Kingdom of Shu, so he didn't talk about his own affairs, and asked, "Has there ever been a war between a man and a tiger?"

"This happened at the beginning of the founding of the Kingdom of Shu, so it must have nothing to do with Wang Jitu's father." Chen Wenze first cleared Shangguan Chouchou's doubts, and then said: "Guess what happened when this army arrived in Hudi?"

Shangguan Chouchou rolled his eyes and said, "It was the tigers who were invincible and fled to other places immediately. Or our army was defeated like a mountain and came back to think of a way again?"

Chen Wenze said: "Neither. Those tigers disappeared. They disappeared completely. There was not a single one left. Later, there was a legend that Taizu inherited the spirit of heaven and earth, and obeyed the destiny to become the lord of the Shu Kingdom. , With the help of the immortal family, all beasts subdue, and the evil beasts dare not stay in Shu, and retreat by themselves."

Shangguan Chouchou and Wang Jitu were very surprised when they heard this result, but neither of them doubted the existence of immortals.Shangguan Chouchou himself had a fairy family talisman on his body.

"Then what kind of tiger did your father encounter?" Shangguan Chouchou asked.

Wang Jitu recalled it for a moment, and then continued with the words just now: "Ten years passed after my grandfather passed away. The Northern Han Dynasty's national strength gradually declined, and it was no longer able to fight. , has always brought his father by his side, and his father practiced sticks with his grandfather since he was a child, and his kung fu has been perfected. Seeing his father's bravery, the old Hou Ye also promoted him to be the commander of his own soldiers.

It's a pity that Lord Hou passed away not long after.His son Ke Zhanbei, who is now the Duke of the State, has inherited his title, and my father is still in command of his personal soldiers.

Then one day, for unknown reasons, Ke Zhanbei had to go to Miaojiang in a hurry, and with [-] warriors capable of fighting, he was going to set off that day.My father only had time to go home to tell my mother a few words, and guided me to practice the stick technique all the way. Someone outside the door urged him to leave quickly, and my father picked up his personal weapon and left in a hurry.I was too young to go with me at the time, but I didn't expect this farewell to be a permanent farewell. "

Shangguan Chouchou hurriedly comforted Wang Jitu, but Wang Jitu was not sad, but just sighed: "This is fate. I only found out later that before my father left, he had already anticipated that something might happen."

Wang Jitu sighed and continued: "What happened later was told to me by an old friend of my father. When my father set off, he found out that the Duke of the State brought the Grandpa with him."

"That bastard named Kirk?" Shangguan Chouchou gritted his teeth.

Wang Jitu nodded and said: "After my father and his party came to Miaojiang, the Duke revealed his real purpose. He was going to visit a Wu tribe hermit. Wu tribe hermits are not qualified to live in the Miao village, but Live in seclusion on a dangerous mountain.

Shangguan Chouchou was puzzled and said: "I heard that Miaojiang is beautiful, but there are many mountains and steep roads, there are witches, poisonous insects, and misty miasma. How can Ke Zhanbei take a small team to such a dangerous place rashly? "

"This matter is unknown. But in order to go there, my father and his party of 800 lost half of them on the way. Everyone persuaded the Duke to go back, but the Duke insisted on going. Later, after untold hardships, we finally arrived there. Where a hermit of the Witch clan is, I never thought there would be a group of fierce tigers guarding the mountain in front of the mountain."

"The fierce tiger originally lived alone in the mountains, but it was also commanded by the leader like an army. This is what I don't understand." Wang Jitu turned sideways and continued: "The Duke resolutely rushed in with three hundred warriors. , my father accompanied him, leaving only a hundred soldiers outside to support him. Three hundred warriors fought a bloody battle with a group of tigers, slashing and killing, blood spattered, it was an intense and terrifying scene. The person who told me about it That soldier was originally a warrior who had fought on the battlefield for many years, but when he talked about the battle between humans and tigers, his face was filled with horror, as if the past was vivid in his memory, which made people shudder."

"Who is that personal soldier?" Shangguan Chouchou asked.

"Uncle Rong of the Duke's Mansion is now the third housekeeper in the mansion." Wang Jitu replied: "The Duke took the young Duke through a great adventure, and finally met the leader. I don't know what they discussed, I only know that the Duke came out He was smiling all over his face, but the little father-in-law was shivering, as if he was very cold."

"After the soldiers stationed outside came to meet the Duke, the tigers also retreated, leaving only a pile of mutilated corpses at the foot of the mountain.

There was still an unknown strange aura wafting from the corpse, and bunches of it flew towards the mountain peak.Rao even the accompanying soldiers had experienced hundreds of battles, and at this moment, they also felt as if they were in the underworld.

A few soldiers boldly inspected it, only to find the corpses of the soldiers strange and inexplicable.When the soldiers saw their companions dying in a foreign land, they were in pain, but they didn't care about the strangeness of the corpses, so they wanted to collect their bones.But the Duke said that the road is difficult and dangerous, why bring so many corpses.Take the lead and leave, leaving those corpses in the wilderness. "

Chen Wenze shot the case, filled with righteous indignation: "I didn't expect that this Ke Guogong not only had an affair with the traitor of the Dayun Kingdom to seek glory, but also such a cold-hearted person. Those warriors must have suffered witchcraft from the Wu family."

Shangguan Chouchou also sighed secretly in his heart, I already knew that old guy was not a good person.

"I used to resent the Duke very much. Later, when my mother was seriously ill in bed, she told me something that made me very uncomfortable, but I didn't resent it very much." Wang Jitu said.

"You are quite lenient." Shangguan Chouchou said.

Wang Jitu ignored him, and said with a tense expression: "The few people who were rescued by the old man back then actually didn't end well.

Those who were rescued back then included my great-grandfather, great-grandmother, grandfather, grandmother, and father, a total of five people.Grandpa and father died for their family needless to say.But my mother told me that great-grandfather, great-grandmother, and grandmother also died for his family. "

Chen Wenze and Shangguan Chouchou were startled at the same time, and said together: "How is that possible?"

Wang Jitu said: "Great-grandfather and great-grandmother were invited by the old Hou Ye to attend the birthday banquet. At that time, the dishes served in front of the old Hou Ye were all top-grade. One of the famous dishes was made of Yellow River carp. Yellow River carp is very popular in Shu. It is rare, it was transported by a trafficker from Xiliang, and the ice cubes used up a carload. The old Hou Ye rewarded his grandfather for his meritorious service, so he asked his great-grandmother and great-grandfather to eat this carp with him. Hou Ye asked the two old people to taste it first. Thinking that the fish had already been poisoned by the Northern Han Dynasty, the great-grandfather and great-grandmother used their deaths to protect the old Hou Ye from a disaster.

The grandmother unfortunately died while saving Mr. Kirk.When Kirk was playing as a child, unfortunately, he drowned. His grandmother jumped into the water to save him. After finally saving him, his grandmother was entangled in water plants. She struggled several times but failed to escape. Unfortunately, she died. "

Chen Wenze and Shangguan Chouchou were silently speechless.

"Father finally realized that something was wrong. He visited the experts to find out the reason, and finally found a fairy elder who practiced on a fairy mountain. He deduced from his father's fate that when the Wang family was questioned and beheaded, his father should have died. But for some reason, the fate was changed by Mr. Ke Laohou. But the Skynet is fully restored, and it is not leaked. I escaped once, but it is not really avoided. From now on, this life will also fall in the Ke family and be taken back. According to That fairy presumed that the other members of my family were also like this. It's all destiny, there's no way around it." Wang Jitu said slowly.

Chen Wenze and Shangguan Chouchou thought in disbelief: "The destiny! Are we all bound by the destiny?"

"Father asked about my fate again, but the immortal said that I should not have appeared in this world. Since I was born, each has its own destiny." Wang Jitu said again: "After my mother died of illness, I I have been waiting to see when God will accept me and end the karma with the Ke family."

Chen Wenze looked stunned, but he still comforted him: "Didn't you already leave his house? If you don't get close to those people in the future, you should be fine."

Shangguan Chouchou lowered his head at this time, thinking in his heart, he was risking his life to protect me that day, could this be part of his destiny, after all, I can barely be considered that family member.

"I was hanged on the city that day. I thought I was going to die. I thought I couldn't escape the destiny. I didn't expect it to turn around. It seems that my family has finally paid off the debt of life. From now on, I can finally be myself again." "Wang Jitu smiled and saluted Shangguan Chouchou again:
"Brother Shangguan is the one who broke my fate, so you deserve to be my great benefactor."

Shangguan Chouchou was tongue-tied and didn't know what to say, should he tell him that he is also of Ke family blood, so he waved his hands quickly and said: "I don't want to be this benefactor, if it's as you said, it's too complicated, we'd better It’s good not to owe each other, you are not my benefactor, and I am not your benefactor, so cut off this kindness.”

But Wang Jitu is a loyal person, and he has to bow to him.

Shangguan Chouchou sighed, and the words were about to blurt out, but in the end he couldn't bear it, so he didn't say it.

There was a moment of silence.

Chen Wenze stood up and said, "No matter what, maintaining your health is the most important thing. Let's rest. Let's go out first."

Outside the door, the two walked side by side. The afternoon sun was firmly covered by the clouds in the sky, and the Splendid City in the early spring was still a little cool. After listening to Wang Jitu's story, the two couldn't calm down for a long time. A little more awe.

Chen Wenze couldn't help sighing: "This matter is really incredible. I still don't think about it. But Wang Jitu's family is also extremely loyal to the Ke family. I didn't expect that the Duke would not miss the old love, and a tiger list was issued, which almost killed him. Let Wang Jitu lose his life. Today's imperial court is controlled by these people, hey, Shu Kingdom is not far from defeat."

Shangguan Chouchou didn't care about political affairs, and just responded casually: "Yes, Wang Jitu is really pitiful, God is too unfair to his family." Thinking about himself and Wang Jitu being forced into such a situation by Ke Guogong Yes, it can be regarded as sympathy.Now that Wang Jitu is still not well, Shangguan Chouchou also temporarily dismissed the idea of ​​leaving for Nanzhao Kingdom.
