"Everything is pretty good. People here, men and women, old and young, have their own families. Although it's just a small town, it's no different from where I lived back then. In addition to delicacies, there are also daily necessities on sale." My mother was very happy.
If you are interested, introduce it to me.
"Ruize has taken in many homeless guardians and their families in the Xingli Branch regardless of their Taoist cultivation. Now there are nearly ten thousand people living here. He also said that he would build it into a mountain city. Normally, I and
Mom will manage it." Yu Xiaoxue explained.
I looked at the several streets scattered at the foot of the mountain, and I felt that such a place really made people feel comfortable. Xia Ruize had put a lot of effort into it.
After entering a reinforced concrete mansion that was no different from the lower world, my mother went to cook with two maids herself, while Yu Xiaoxue took the children and drank tea with me.
"Brother Tian, I haven't seen you for a few days, how are you? We went up to the world at that time, so we were worried about you." Yu Xiaoxue sighed, and it can be seen that her words are no longer the same as before.
His tone, when he faced me, there was a film between him and me.
"Well, let's not talk about these things anymore." I smiled faintly. Xia Ruize was selfish. At least when everyone else didn't go up, he relied on his own little strategy to get up.
However, now, I feel that no matter how insidious or cunning he is, he is my biological brother. Of course, this does not mean that I agree with his actions. No matter how many sophistry he makes, he will not be able to escape the trial.
sanctions.
"Oh..." Yu Xiaoxue knew that I didn't want to mention this, so she didn't dare to say any more, while Xia Yuxin, the child, had been sitting on the carpet, tinkering with some jade slips, and drawing various herbal notes on some others.
The classics made me a little curious.
"The child is very studious and interested in these things, so Ruize collected a lot of them for her to read. If she doesn't understand anything, she will ask me." Yu Xiaoxue said with a smile.
"It seems that he has the potential to be an alchemist." I said. It is self-evident that alchemists are very popular in the divine court. This is a good profession.
They were chatting, and after a while, the maids brought out several dishes, all of which were home-cooked dishes that I liked to eat when I was in the lower world, and my mother finally brought a plate of tomatoes.
Scrambled eggs.
I looked at the dishes and smiled bitterly in my heart. Although gods don't have to eat and these things have not been seen for many years, when I see them, my index finger still moves and I can't help but want to eat them.
"Ah Tian, eat quickly." Seeing me looking at the dishes in a daze, my mother put the chopsticks into my hands.
I picked up a piece of egg and swallowed it. I found that the taste was still the same, and I couldn't help but feel nostalgic: "It's delicious."
The mother shed tears again, but soon she sighed and said, "A Tian, you must blame your elder brother, or even me and A Xue, right?"
I put down my chopsticks. It seemed that I could no longer control my suppressed emotions. It was not until I tried hard to suppress my emotions that I slowly said, "Yes, I don't understand why he had to do this!"
It seemed that I was frightened by what I said, and the child looked at me blankly. Yu Xiaoxue looked at the waitress aside, and the waitress cleverly took the child away.
Mother smiled bitterly and said, "Your elder brother...has his own reasons."
"But he killed so many people, killed so many people, and thousands, tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of creatures were destroyed in his hands! He is just a murderer! Not for justice, not for anything,
It was simply to fulfill his ambition of domination! So that year, he was enfeoffed to the thirteen counties of Beifu. He had a heavy army, but he was not satisfied with the status quo. When the world was at peace, he lightly opened his sword to rebel against me. He not only killed Jing Yun, but also killed
I left my grandfather alone, and how many more killings did he cause? You can also understand? Later, he united with a group of sea monsters from the Inner Immortal Sea to attract a tide of beasts, and how many people in Zhongzhou died! I was tired of running for my life, but the people of Zhongzhou were in the same situation.
! How do I understand this? If my mother has said that this is his difficulty! Then how do you expect me to understand this difficulty?" I shook my head, such Xia Ruize is simply unreasonable.
The mother's face turned pale. She seemed to know all these things, so she looked so sad.
I sighed and said: "Mom, let him be his grandfather and his master! Putting aside family ties, he is a teacher for a day and a father for a lifetime. How could he be willing to do something? How can you trust him if he is so crazy?
?”
The mother was silent, and Yu Xiaoxue didn't say a word. Tears fell from her cheeks. They seemed to have no feeling. After a long silence, the mother said: "I know you don't understand...including Xiaoxue and I, neither can understand..."
…”
"Then why!?" I thought it was ridiculous and stood up. Speaking of which, I was not as angry as I used to be. Perhaps, feeling sorry is more important than being heartbroken.
My mother glanced at Xiaoxue, took a deep breath quickly, and then said to me: "Actually...your eldest brother...is seriously ill. Sometimes he acts crazy, sometimes he acts normal...even we don't know what happened to him."
What happened..."
My face changed slightly.
And Yu Xiaoxue quickly said: "It's like a split personality... We don't know why, but when he treats us, he doesn't change at all, and even remembers any details of our time together... But unfortunately, we don't know that he is there
Why did he make such a choice in certain matters... I also asked him, but he said: It's impossible not to do this, if not, everyone will die!"
"What?" I changed my mind again. If Yu Xiaoxue wants to clear Xia Ruize's name, I can understand it, but my mother is not someone who can be easily fooled. Since she said so and is still staying with Xia Ruize, it must have happened.
What!
"I once thought that it might be because of the influence of Senior Xia Wu, but later I found out that it didn't seem to be the case, because he is still Xia Ruize, not Senior Xia Wu! It is definitely not that there is an inner demon controlling him, because I can guarantee that he does not
Go crazy!" Yu Xiaoxue said decisively.
I was stunned for a moment, and my mother looked at me and said: "Atian, your elder brother is not a lunatic. Is he being forced by something to do these things? You are so capable now...can't you help mom check it out?
?”
Yu Xiaoxue also looked at me seriously.
My face changed several times, and I was extremely confused. When I came here, I never thought it would be like this, but now, I couldn't ask questions, but instead I became the target of questioning...
How do I know why Xia Ruize is like this? I only know that he killed Jing Yun, and I want to kill him! But my mother said that this is not what he is willing to do, so who else will force him?
"Brother Tian... please save Ruize. He must have had no choice but to be controlled and restricted by something. This is not what he should do..." Yu Xiaoxue said seriously.
"You... just trust him so much?" I shook my head. Since I'm not crazy, why do I do this? Since I'm giving someone control, why don't I just say it out loud? Isn't it the devil in his heart that controls him to do these crazy things?
What?
I really don’t know what kind of ecstasy pills my mother and Yu Xiaoxue took to believe him so much!
"Ah Tian! Don't you still believe in Mom's vision? Can Mom still misjudge her own child?" My mother looked at my doubtful eyes and grabbed my hand hard.
I was stunned for a moment. Indeed, now I am even suspicious of my mother. Just because of what Xia Ruize did and how my mother still insisted on him afterwards made me jealous of the unfairness of maternal love, and at the same time, I also had feelings for her.
grudge.
I'm really confused. I don't know whether I should believe it or not. I'm afraid of being deceived again.
Is Xia Ruize a good person or a bad person? Was he forced, or is this his true face? All this was originally very clear, but now it drags me into a lot of fog.
I suddenly remembered the three words Qi Tianyang. Could it be that Qi Tianyang was the driving force behind all this?
"Mom, I believe you... I also have to believe it. I promise you that I will investigate this matter. But if I find that everything he did was his own will, I will definitely kill him!" I said firmly!

Yu Xiaoxue looked at me blankly, while my mother gritted her teeth and nodded.
