Talking to Wenren Heng is a young Noble Son, bright-eyed and sharp-browed (1), with a bit of arrogance on his face.
At this time, seeing Ye You enter the door, he sized him up: “This is your shidi?”
Wenren Heng nodded, smiled and looked at shidi: “You've returned?”
Ye You sounded a "yeah", and heard his family's shixiong introduce that this is Noble Son Wei, and he greeted him politely. Noble Son Wei slightly nodded, did not again trouble them, and took his leave. Ye You poured a glass of water for himself. When he saw shixiong return after finishing sending the person off, he asked: “He is the son of Manor Lord Wei?”
“Yes, he is his family's second noble son,” Wenren Heng walked over to his side and sat down, used the tip of his nose. “You have drank?”
Ye You's eyes are not blinking: "Have not."
Wenren Heng looked at him.
“The person sitting next to me drank a lot of wine, so the body came into contact with some alcohol scent,” at will, Ye You searched for a reason to deal with, and quickly changed the subject. “Noble Son Wei looked for you for the sake of his younger sister? Should it not be Manor Lord Wei's intention?”
Wenren Heng is not at all curious about where he had heard of this matter. He responded: “I reckon that he himself wanted to ask.”
Ye You knew that this was the case. Manor Lord Wei looked so sleek and sly and would not be so impatient.
He had a mind to want to say a sentence that he can't always take the blame, but he thought better of it, calling to mind that his brother and the Wei family have had many years of friendship. They are afraid if they speak too clearly, it would be refused too fiercely, and can only drag it, if the other party is smart and tactful enough, they will probably not mention this issue again.
He remembered the words of Knife-Scar Man and asked: “How did shixiong and Manor Lord Wei get acquainted?”
Wenren Heng was silent for an instant, said: “A decade ago, Shifu was seriously injured and died. He took the murderer with him. He arranged to help me handle matters and Shifu's funeral arrangements.”
Ye You only just felt his heart suddenly hurt, and the whole chest was a little stuffy, but like the last time, it came quickly and also disappeared quickly. He slowly took a breath and asked: “Shifu was seriously injured? Who was he harmed by?”
“At that time, the swordsman who was called ‘The Boundless'(2) was very strong. He practiced himself into a qi deviation.(3) The internal force skyrocketed and during he killed many people. There was an injured Jianghu hero who escaped and went to Shifu to ask for help. Unexpectedly, the forefoot had just arrived, and the hind legs caught up…” Wenren Heng's voice was calm.
Ten years ago, at that time it bound up and tore the heart, and broke the lungs of a youth, altogether at a loss and helpless, a stubborn stone, but the long river of time transformed it into fine sand. All the huge waves of suffering and hatred gradually subsided. All that was left was a portion of a disappointed and frustrated sigh, a kind of spider silk that lingered in the heart.(4)
Wenren Heng said: “At that time Manor Lord Wei with a few people, pursued after, because Shifu blocked the swordsman for a while, Manor Lord Wei and them successfully arrived and surrounded the swordsman, and then together they took him down, but Shifu sustained too heavy, incurable injuries that could not be returned from.”
He paused. “You were there at the time.”
Ye You startled: “I?”
“When I arrived… Shifu only had the last breath, and told me that I was to take good care of you for an entire lifetime, and he left.” Wenren Heng softly said, “Manor Lord Wei and them were all injured, the swordsman died twenty steps from Shifu. The hero who had asked Shifu for help died fifty feet away in the same direction, his heart and arteries were shattered, and you knelt in front of him, and from head to toe threw up blood, and pressed acupuncture points, already gone foolish, no matter how much I called for you, it if was as if you weren't able to hear."
Ye You frowned.
Ten years ago, shidi was just a teenager, unexpectedly encountered huge changes, and shouldn't manage to others. He can remember this way so clearly. It's definitely because after the event, he recalled it all the time, so much that he returned to the place of the large battle to have a look. But when all is said and done, it was very painful, so for what reason had this person forced himself to go and want those details?
His head was covered with cloth, and Wenren Heng couldn't see him frowning. Only when he was listening carefully, he continued: “I asked Manor Lord Wei before, they said at that time you were like that, afterward I thought about it. I think it's probably that Shifu wanted you to run, but you did not agree, Shifu then allowed the hero to press your acupuncture points and take you away. But in the end the hero could not escape the murderous pursuit and died. Maybe the madman still wanted to kill you, but they were stopped by Shifu and the others.”
Ye You carefully recalled and found that there was still a blank in the brain. Nothing can be remembered. He can only ask: “I was exactly sick like that?”
Wenren Heng said: “Yes.”
Ye You asked again: “Later how did I get better?”
Wenren Heng took a cup of tea and drank, and did not answer his question for the first time, even if just to say a sentence to handle him with, “drank good medicine” or “don't know”.
He put down the teacup and glanced at shidi. He said softly: “It's not early, go wash, I will give you medicine.”
The inquiry in Ye You's head was abruptly stopped. He couldn't get up, and he couldn't stand down, and silently watched Wenren Heng. Seeing that shixiong was really not ready to say it, he wondered about the reason and got up to go wash.
Knife-Scar Man then went through the door and said everything about today in detail. Wenren Heng heard that his shidi had drank two glasses of wine, and secretly thought it was as expected.
Knife-Scar Man recalled the intoxicated words of that group of people, and did not know whether to laugh or cry: “They said a lot of things, disorderly messes.”
“Also, he won't really believe it.” Wenren Heng said, secretly pondering that his family's shidi will probably only figure out two things. First, the Demonic Sect is not at all a malevolent faction school. Second, Sect Master Ye very much may not show up in public often, otherwise he has been in the Central Plains for several years, but everyone toward him would not have a description so mysterious and fantastical.
Of course, shidi may also consider whether he is the same person, but… the name of the “Yellow Gold Sect” should allow the shidi to give up on his misgivings.
He smiled with a corner of his mouth.
To be honest, he also especially wants to know why shidi initially will choose such a name.
It was only until Ye You came back and sat down and was finished with having medicine smeared that he suddenly realized one thing: “Where am I going to sleep tonight?”
Wenren Heng said like it was proper and right as a matter of course, by heaven's laws and earth's principals: “With me, sleep in one room.”
Ye You reminded: “Shixiong, right now we are not outside.”
Wenren Heng educated him: “The poisoner has not appeared yet, and there are no clues. Can't be careless.”
Ye You looked forward to be able to see the poisoner, and also wanted to ask of the Lantern Extinguishing Poison's matter, but he knows other people have no reason to come to him here, he can only be resigned, skillfully reclining on the big bed, leaving the outside to shixiong.
The candle goes out, and the entire bedroom calmed down immediately.
