This is a small town in the north called Qingfeng.
There are about 2,000 families living in the town. They are roughly divided into two surnames, or more precisely, two families. One is the Situ family and the other is the Ai family. Although the two families live together separately, they sometimes
There was a quarrel.
The days are always short in winter in the north, and Ai Siming and his friends are playing wildly outside. At 8 years old, he is naughty and active for his age.
"Squeak" As the door opened, Ai Siming sneaked into the compound. After slowly closing the door, she was about to turn around and sneak in further.
With a 'pop' sound, a big hand patted his shoulder.
Esming was so frightened that she almost collapsed on the ground and said timidly: "Mom, I will never dare to do it again. Please forgive me."
"Haha..." After the silver bell-like laughter, "Dear little brother, what mistake did you make again? I'll tell your fourth aunt."
The silly Esming turned around and saw a man wearing a light green down jacket, a pair of jeans, white leather boots, black hair, and a youthful and beautiful face.
The laughter started from then on. He was no longer afraid but whispered angrily: "Sister Xue, why are you? You want to scare your smartest brother to death!"
I don't know if I'm freezing or smiling. Ai Si Xue, whose face was slightly red, held back her laughter and said, "What mistake did you make again?" Ai Si Xue's voice suddenly became louder, which frightened Ai Si Ming.
"Sister Xue, please keep your voice down! Don't let my mother hear it. If she hears me coming back after going out to play and not eating, I'll be surprised."
16-year-old Ai Sixue is the only daughter of the third child of the Ai family. She is studying in a provincial key middle school in the city. It is the winter vacation. The freshman in high school is not too busy yet and does not have to work hard for her future. Therefore, as soon as she is released
During the winter vacation, my mother sent someone to pick her up.
Since Si Xue and Siming were both only children in the family, the person who was most happy about Siming's birth was none other than her.
From then on, Sixue was no longer the youngest child in the family. She used to be controlled by her brothers and sisters. Now that her identity has finally been changed, how could she not be happy? She had a series of plans in her mind on how to deal with this little brother.
plan.
But as Siming grew up, Sixue loved him in every possible way. Those plans had long since come to naught, and the relationship between sister and brother gradually became deeper and deeper.
Hearing this, the quirky Sixue didn't want to give up this good opportunity for blackmail. "It's okay if you don't tell me. How can you repay me?"
"Oh, my most beautiful sister, you are making a big deal out of yourself by saying this. We, the two siblings, don't have to say this..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Sixue slowly opening her mouth and said carefully, "Sister Xue... at worst, how about I use all my pocket money next week to buy you something delicious?"
Looking at her young but unconvinced younger brother, Sixue smiled in her heart. "Well, I'm the older sister, so I'll leave it to you!" After saying these words, her expression changed.
Siming, who turned green, happily walked elsewhere.
"Vampire!" Esmin cursed and ran back to her room.
Close the door; turn around; lie down on the kang; after a series of actions are completed in an instant, he gasps for air and pats his little heart. "Fortunately, my mother didn't notice."
"What hasn't been discovered? Where have you been?" As the voice fell, the lights in the room were instantly lit.
Ai Siming sat up as a reflex, looked at the middle-aged woman sitting at the desk and said with a smile, "Mom, why are you here? You haven't gone anywhere... I've been at Sister Xue's place."
"Come here! The more you live, the more promising you become. You made a mistake and refused to admit it and lied."
With a childish expression on her face, Ai Siming raised her head and expressed her gratitude in a childish voice: "Beautiful mother, your son doesn't dare to do anything anymore, so I'll give your best-behaved son a chance to change his ways.
Bar."
"No, I can't forgive you this time. Go and kneel in front of the window for half an hour." Ai Siming walked to the window with a helpless expression and knelt down obediently.
Although he looked helpless, he gradually remembered the scene of making trouble during the day, and he laughed out loud unconsciously.
"You're still happy on your knees! You're actually in a happy mood. Tell me what you're happy about?" Smart Si Aisiming hurriedly lowered his head and answered his mother in silence.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and "Fourth Grandma, the eldest grandma asked you to go to her room."
Siming's mother looked at her son on the ground and pretended to be threatening: "Reflect on yourself and I'll be back soon."
"Mom, please walk slowly, I will reflect on today's mistakes."
Listening to her mother's footsteps fading away, she took out a one-foot-long dagger from her arms. The turquoise hilt and scabbard exuded an ancient atmosphere. Gently wiping the hilt, a vicissitudes of texture emerged from her fingers.
The tip came.
This was found in the snow when I was playing with my friends in Beishan today. In order to get it, he even had a fight with Gouzi. Finally, he promised to give Gouzi two lollipops, and then he took the dagger as his own.
.
Looking at the beautiful ancient sword, a trace of love arose in my heart. I slowly pulled out the sword, and the sword body was also turquoise.
Just as his fingers were about to make contact with the cyan sword blade, a burst of pain came from the fingertips. Blood left along the nails and dripped on the sword blade below.
Curious, he ignored the pain coming from his fingers and looked at the sword blade without blinking. Because he found that the blood flowed on the green sword blade and disappeared in an instant.
"It's amazing!" The young Esming was not afraid, but became interested. The blood on her fingers was still flowing drop by drop, and the blood drops on the blade turned into nothingness in an instant.
After thinking for a while, I couldn't figure out the specific reason for this. I hurriedly put my finger in my mouth, and naively thought, "You can bleed it. I will eat it after it bleeds." But he didn't let him eat even a drop of blood in his mouth.
At this point, the blood will stop flowing a certain distance away from the blade.
"Oh! It's amazing! If only Brother Siyu was at home, he would definitely be able to explain it to me."
Curious, he continued to play with the ancient sword. As he repeatedly played with it, Esming discovered a pattern: as long as his hand was within an inch of the sword's edge, blood would flow from the cut finger and then be 'eaten' by the sword's edge.
Ten minutes later, I woke up from my playfulness. "This thing is too greedy. If I get eaten by it again, I will die!"
Just when he was about to insert the sword into the scabbard, the whole body of the sword emitted a green light. The soft green light did not look dazzling. The ancient dagger looked more mysterious against the background of the light.
.
Esming stared dumbfounded at the green ancient sword in his hand. Ancient runes appeared on the ancient sword. Before he could see the runes clearly, the green ancient sword suddenly broke away from his little hand and floated in the air.
.
The 8-year-old was so frightened that he wanted to get up and run away, but the hanging ancient sword stabbed his chest with a faint trace of confusion.
"Ah..." A long scream pierced the night sky, and the scream was filled with heartbreaking pain. Most of the people in the Ai Family Courtyard quickly gathered in Esming's room.
Everyone saw that Esming's clothes were dyed red with blood, and a green sword hilt was exposed on his chest. His mother hugged him tightly, her voice was hoarse, and they couldn't hear what she was saying. Tears kept falling on Esming's face.
The blood on his body glowed coldly under the light.
The doctor from the Ai family squeezed in from the crowd and took over the 8-year-old little life. After carefully examining it, he shook his head at Ai Tianxia and sighed.
Ai Tianxia took the child in person, with a look of pain on his face. Mrs. Ai and her maid hurriedly supported the frantic Fourth Madam, and together they sent her back to her room.
"Brother, get up. You promised to buy me something. Why have you forgotten what you said? Get up quickly. My sister doesn't want your things..." Ai Si Xue knelt on the ground, holding her hands.
Shaking the cold body vigorously.
But tears could not bring back fresh life. Ai Siming lay there without any response.
Ai Siming's body was still placed on the ground covered in pools of blood. Ai Tianxia had already informed the Elders' House that such matters in the Ai family must be reported to the Elders' House first, and the elders would check and confirm before further handling.
The elders rushed over and after repeated inspections, they confirmed that it was suicide.
The elders and Ai Tianxia came to the fourth lady's room, and the fourth lady sobbed and told the whole story. They comforted each other for a few words and then left. A few people discussed the next funeral arrangements.
On the way back to the presbytery, the sixth elder Ai Nian and the fourth elder Ai Ping walked last.
"Fourth brother, I wonder if you took a closer look at that sword just now?"
"Well, I've seen it, and there seems to be nothing wrong with it except that it's a bit old!"
"I wonder if Fourth Brother still has an impression of the ancient divine sword in the ancient family books?"
"Are you talking about the divine sword that even the person in the family cannot control even if he reaches the heaven-defying realm?"
"Yes, that's it. I took a closer look today. The ancient runes on the sword are similar to those recorded in ancient books."
"No! The ancient books said that the man could not control it, and he was afraid that it would be too powerful and would be acquired by greedy people, so he sealed it in a forbidden place. And today's sword is not the same size as the ancient divine sword.
Very different."
"Hey, I hope it's not it! Let's take a closer look tomorrow. Maybe I'm worrying too much." The expression of the Sixth Elder was full of worry.
The next day, the Sixth Elder and the Fourth Elder came to the room where Esming's accident occurred early. The body had not been disposed of yet, but what surprised the two elders was that the ancient sword placed next to the body last night was missing.
Ai Tianxia hurried over after hearing the news. He asked the two people who were keeping watch at the door and found out that no one had entered. He ordered people to search the entire Ai family compound, but the ancient sword was not found.
Due to Ai Siming's sudden death, a heavy atmosphere enveloped the Ai family.
On the third day, Ai Tianqi, who hurried back, supported his wife and looked at the body of their 8-year-old son. The couple burst into tears.
Ai Tianqi is the fourth person in the Ai family, the fourth brother of the Ai family leader Ai Tianxia. The Ai Siming family also enjoys the privileges of the clan and lives in the Ai family compound.
Although the name of the Ai Family Courtyard is very common, similar to the names of ordinary farmhouses, it has an extremely important status in the Ai family, because only the direct relatives of the patriarch can stay in the Ai Family Courtyard. The people who live in the Ai Family Courtyard are
The Ai family has a powerful position.
Ai Siming's father, Ai Tianqi, is a business elite with great business acumen. He controls all the family's business in five provinces. He is away from home all year round and has made great contributions to the family's economic lifeline.
When everyone was carrying the wooden coffin towards the cemetery, a middle-aged man with tattered clothes and shaggy hair appeared in front of him. He kept shouting "Ah! It's a curse! The ancient demon god is about to awaken, and the world is about to perish..."
..."
Ai Tianxia stared at him extremely angrily, "This lunatic is talking nonsense again. Someone come and drive him away."
The two servants treated each other with courtesy and sent the madman away. The madman in the distance was still running wildly and screaming something.
Early on the morning of the fourth day, Ai Tianxia, led by two panicked maids, came to Esming's room. One of the maids pointed to the corner under the window, "Master, it's... right here."
That was the place where Esmin's blood flowed the most when she died. The bloody mass was there, like a piece of blood that had not yet solidified, glowing with a cold light under the weak light.
Ai Tianxia made a deep scratch with the dagger he carried, and was shocked, "It's ice!"
"Master, Xiaofei and I have indeed cleaned up this 'ice'. When we returned here after cleaning other places, it appeared again..."
Ai Tianxia gestured with his hand that she didn't need to say any more, because he had already seen that the mark he had just made was slowly getting shallower, and soon it became complete again.
The elders who received the notice rushed over. After seeing the great elder, who had always been unfathomable in the city, his expression became dull.
But the sixth elder Ai Nian exclaimed, "It's blood ice, it's blood ice, blood ice that can never be removed. The ancient prophecy has begun to become a reality. Everyone has to..."
"Lao Liu! What are you yelling about? Do you still have the status of an elder? Things haven't developed to that point yet!"
After Ai Tianxia told the two maids some things, he went to the Elder's House with the elders. He didn't come back until late at night, with a look of worry on his face...
