Xiao Shi's brows immediately wrinkled into a figure-eight shape, and he said to Ye Wushuang with a tangled and depressed expression: "Master, do you really have to wait eight or nine years before I can learn the iron sword?"

Ye Wushuang thought for a while and said, "If you eat one more bowl of rice every day, you will be able to grow taller and grow faster, and naturally you don't have to wait that long." ”

Xiao Shi nodded heavily and said, "Okay, that's it, I will have to eat more every day in the future, so that I can learn from the master faster." I must become a chivalrous warrior like my master!" After speaking, he turned his head, no longer paying attention to Hua Liyue, but stabbed the wooden sword in his hand with great seriousness.

From time to time, he shouted "Hi, Hi", and it seemed that every blow was using all his strength.

Hua Lianyue praised with a sigh: "Yes, yes, although our stone is young, our ambition is not small." She looked sideways at Ye Wushuang again, lowered her voice and said, "This kid is really in good spirits, I see that he seems to be adapted to living with the two of you." ”

Ye Wushuang sighed and said in a low voice: "You don't know, he hasn't had much during the day in the past two days, he should eat and sleep." But at night, I often hid in the quilt alone and cried, and when I got up the next morning, the pillow could wring out the water. ”

Hua Lianyue was slightly surprised, and glanced back at the little back who was still practicing her sword seriously, she also lowered her voice, and said, "I'm afraid this kid is very thoughtful, if he keeps everything in his heart, it's not good for a long time." ”

Ye Wushuang also looked worried, and said: "I was thinking about the child, but I was so forgetful that I couldn't accept it for a while, and I felt uncomfortable and cried a lot, maybe I would be fine in a few days." But when you look at his serious appearance when he practices swords, I'm afraid that there is only hatred left in his mind. I'm also worried that he'll always be carrying this burden in his heart, and there will be big problems in the future. ”

Hua Lianyue stretched out her hand, patted her lightly on the back of her hand, and comforted: "It's okay! In the future, with you by his side, always pay attention and enlighten at all times, he won't have a big problem." ”

Ye Wushuang replied to her with a demure smile and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid I won't have a chance to have my own child in my life, and now that he has lost all his relatives, I will treat him as a child given to me by God." No matter what happens in the future, I will always protect him wholeheartedly. As she spoke, her beautiful eyes kept rolling gently on the little stone, and it could be seen that she really liked the little stone.

Hua Lianyue held the hot teacup in the palm of her hand, blew away the foam on it, and slowly took a sip before continuing: "Speaking of which, I have to thank you, thanks to Brother Wu's timely delivery of the letter to us, we can grasp the whereabouts of the water monkey and capture him in one fell swoop." I heard that the kid doesn't look very old, but he was raised in a thief's den, he is ruthless and extremely cunning, and he has several life lawsuits in his hands. If he is allowed to run away this time, I don't know how many people will be unlucky!"

Ye Wushuang's eyes widened in surprise and muttered, "It turns out that he is so bad." ”

Hua Lianyue pursed her lips and said with palpitations: "I'm not afraid of the bad on the surface, I'm afraid that I will smile at you on the surface, but secretly stab you without mercy, that is really bad to the bones." ”

Ye Wushuang seemed to have a deep understanding when he heard this, and nodded vigorously. Suddenly, she raised her eyes and secretly glanced at Hua Lianyue, who was drinking tea, and then quickly lowered her head, her white teeth clenched her lower lip, but her fingers began to unconsciously twist the corners of her clothes.

Hua Lianyue didn't notice it for a while, drank a few sips of tea, and saw a plate of boiled salted peanuts on the table, so she grabbed a handful and peeled it slowly in her hand, and gossiped a few words from time to time.

Ye Wushuang kept her head down and was silent, her lips moved several times, but when she met Hua Lianyue's cold eyes, she quickly lowered her head again. The corners of the clothes in his hands were about to be torn, and his cheeks were getting redder and redder, but he didn't spit out a word.

After such a few times, even if Hua Lianyue was sluggish, she found that something was wrong with Ye Wushuang. She was curious, what was it that made Ye Wushuang embarrassed to be like this. Look at this, before she could say a word, she first held her face red. At this time, if someone comes in, maybe they will think that they have bullied her!

Hua Lianyue peeled a few more peanuts and chewed them with a "creak" sound, seeing that Ye Wushuang's head was getting lower and lower, and his slender neck was almost about to break. She couldn't help it, so she threw away the peanut shell in her hand and patted the crumbs on her hand.

Hearing her movements, Ye Wushuang quickly raised his head and hurriedly asked, "You, are you leaving?"

Hua Lianyue blinked mischievously, grabbed another handful of peanuts unhurriedly, and said, "No! Your words haven't been said yet, how can I leave! However, you'd better think about how to open your mouth quickly, although these peanuts are good, you will get tired of eating too much." ”

Ye Wushuang smiled when he heard this, moved a few black-skinned fruits in the other box forward, and said, "Don't eat it if you are tired, eat a frozen pear!

Hua Lianyue laughed, she didn't go to pick up the frozen pear, but only said to Ye Wushuang: "Sister-in-law Wu, I'm a quick temper, I can't stand you talking like this, you might as well say it directly." If you still hesitate like this, you will be separated from me. ”

Ye Wushuang saw that she said straightforwardly, and it was not good to continue to twist, so he thought about it before he spoke: "It's rare that you don't treat me as an outsider, so I'll be cheeky and say a few words." Qingfeng was originally the son of the Marquis of Huaiyin, but unfortunately because he was pampered by Mrs. Huaiyin from childhood to adulthood, he was almost a tyrant of Huaiyin when he was full of vices. But he was very good to me, whether it was when I was the son of the world or when I was robbed of the title of the son, he never left me.

Especially in these years, my body is weak, and I can't live in one place for a long time to recuperate. Qingfeng put all the money he earned in my medicine jar to save my life. But I feel so distressed to see him work so hard every day......."

After a pause, she raised her sleeve and gently wiped the moist corners of her eyes before continuing: "I just thought that the hardships of the past few years have made his temperament much calmer. Can you ask Lord Xian to help take a look, give him a chance, a chance for him to show his ambitions!"

Speaking of this, she seemed to feel that she had asked too much, so she lowered her eyes again and rubbed the corners of her clothes uneasily. After half a ring, he continued to say slowly: "I don't ask for anything else, I just ask for a chance to be given, even if it is to start as a small soldier, he is willing!"

Ye Wushuang said extremely cautiously, without mentioning a bad word about the Marquis of Huaiyin, nor did he mention why he couldn't live in one place for a long time. But Hua Liyue only needs to think about it a little to understand the general idea. Presumably, the virtuous and virtuous Mrs. Huaiyin Marquis was afraid that the old marquis would regret it one day, and she would find this former son again, so she has not given up secretly chasing and killing their husband and wife for so many years.

Wu Qingfeng could only take Ye Wushuang to hide in Tibet and wander around, even if he was working on a cargo ship, he had to take her with him to rest assured.

Perhaps for the Marquis of Huaiyin, Wu Qingfeng is not a good son. But for Ye Wushuang, Wu Qingfeng is a good minister. Because he really relied on each other for good and evil, and never gave up! Therefore, she couldn't bear to see that Wu Qingfeng would rashly make such a request for the sake of her having no chance to get ahead in this life.

"Wushuang!"

Suddenly hearing Wu Qingfeng's call, Hua Lianyue and Ye Wushuang turned their heads at the same time.

Seeing that the hatch was pushed open, Wu Qingfeng stood straight at the door, but was blocked by Hua Lianyue's guards, and he had to speak.

"Let him in!" Hua Lianyue commanded with a raised voice. Only then did the guards dodge away and let Wu Qingfeng enter the house.

"Why did you come back so early today?" Ye Wushuang hurriedly raised a smile and greeted her, but Hua Lianyue saw that her expression was a little flustered, and her eyes didn't even dare to meet him. It seems that what she said before was a temporary idea, and she had not discussed it with Wu Qingfeng in advance.

Wu Qingfeng first hugged Hua Lianyue with a fist, and said hello before he sat down at the table, and said with a tired face: "There are not many things today, so the person in charge will let me come back early." ”

"The master is back!" Seeing Wu Qingfeng come back, Xiao Shi was obviously very happy, and hurriedly put down the wooden sword and jumped over.

Wu Qingfeng didn't have much expression on his face, and with that hideous scar, it was easy to make people feel afraid. Xiao Shi didn't seem to be afraid of him, and he was much closer to him than to Ye Wushuang.

Wu Qingfeng was not moved by Xiao Shi's enthusiasm, he snorted lightly, and said in a deep voice: "I let you use all your strength to stab five hundred times a day, can today's one be completed?"

The smile on Xiao Shi's face suddenly froze, he stopped, and said timidly: "No, no!"

Wu Qingfeng furrowed his eyebrows, accentuated his tone, and said extremely sternly: "What are you still playing here with?" Let me tell you, if you don't stab five hundred times today, you don't have to eat." ”

"Yes, master!" Xiao Shi's eyes were a little red, and his voice was a little choked, but he obediently went back and picked up the wooden sword and stabbed it hard at the air in front of him.

Only then did Hua Lianyue understand that the little stone was not playing before, but completing the task assigned by Wu Qingfeng.

Ye Wushuang poured a cup of hot tea for Wu Qingfeng, dragged the brazier to his feet, brought a pair of clean shoes and socks for him to replace, and put the wet shoes he changed into by the brazier to bake.

Ye Wushuang finished the work in hand, raised his eyes and saw the red appearance of Xiao Shi's nose, and couldn't help but whisper: "Don't push him too hard, he is still a child." If you really want to stab 500 times a day, I'm afraid that my arm will be swollen. ”

Wu Qingfeng was drinking tea, and when he heard this, he slammed the tea cup on the table, and a few drops of tea spilled out, splashing the back of his hand. This movement was not small, and Hua Lianyue, who was peeling peanuts, was startled, and the two peanut kernels that had just been peeled out of her hand were not pinched, and rolled directly to the floor.

Seeing Wu Qingfeng frowning, he said to Ye Wushuang, who was obviously also frightened: "I don't want to hear this anymore, do you know that when my father asked my master to teach me martial arts, my good stepmother also whispered this in my father's ear!"

Even later, no matter what my father asked me to learn, she would smile and say, "Don't worry, he's still young!" As a result, when I grew up, I became the little bully of Huaiyin, and I couldn't put anything my father said into my head anymore.

Later I found out that my good stepmother did not treat her own son in this way, and she was even stricter than her master. Often because he didn't write a good post, he was punished for not eating or sleeping. At that time, the second brother often cried with me, saying that he was not born to my mother, but I was. For this reason, I respect my stepmother more than my own father......"

At this, his throat choked imperceptibly. He turned his face sideways and wiped it on his face with his big hand before he said vaguely: "Don't say it, don't say it, it's a stomach again." ”

Ye Wushuang's face turned a little red, she quickly glanced at Hua Lianyue, and then said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I don't know any of this, I just feel sorry for the little stone, and I just said it by the way." ”

Hua Lianyue, who had listened to the gossip of the wealthy family for a long time, was glanced at by Ye Wushuang, and found out in hindsight that she seemed to have been sitting for too long and listened to a lot of things that should not be heard.

She put down the few peanuts she had just grasped in her hand, stood up, patted off the finely shredded peanut clothes on her body, and said with a smile: "This...... I seem to have been out for too long, and if I stay any longer, I'm afraid that Ah Hui will send someone to find me. This one...... Sister-in-law Wu, you are busy with you, I will come to talk to you next time!"

"I'll send you!" Ye Wushuang wanted to get up, but Hua Lianyue hurriedly pressed her shoulder and said with a smile: "It's upstairs and downstairs, what is there to give." You better stay in the house and talk to Brother Wu!"

Ye Wushuang was no longer reluctant, and when Hua Lianyue went out, she couldn't help but glance back, but saw Wu Qingfeng, who was sitting there without moving, his waist was straight, and his eyes were full of majesty. It seems that these years of tempering have not made him decadent, but have made him more and more calm and responsible.

Shouldn't you persuade Liu Hui and give him a chance? Hua Lianyue thought to herself as she raised her legs and walked out.

Liu Hui was sitting with Zhang Duwei drinking tea, and when he saw Hua Lianyue coming in with her head down and full of thoughts, her deep black eyes instantly became bright and flying. He raised the corners of his lips and smiled, "Didn't you say to see the little stone, why did you come back so quickly?" ”

"I've seen it, but even Xiao Shi is busy practicing swordsmanship and doesn't bother to pay attention to me. It's really boring," Hua Liyue slumped down at the table without any image, reached out and took a lucky orange, and was not in a hurry to eat, just rolling around on the table to play.

When his identity was not revealed before, he could still play dice with Xiao Fengnan and Feng Qi, push pai gow, or enjoy the song and dance of beauties, and listen to Mr. Storytelling. No matter how bad it is, you can still play pitching pots.......

But now, when everyone on the ship saw themselves, they all stepped aside respectfully. It's all to blame for the tall guards behind her, and the stiff face simply says that no one should enter. Even a piece of dog skin plaster like Xiao Fengnan was scared away by them. No, to be precise, I don't take her with me.

Thinking of this, Hua Lianyue was a little indignant. The dice on this ship was added, and she figured out how to crack it, but because of a series of accidents, she didn't find a chance to challenge again.

Hmph, if Xiao Fengnan didn't take her to play, she would definitely lose very badly, very miserable! Thinking that soon after, Xiao Fengnan would cry with a sad face, and when she came to her for help, her depressed mood suddenly brightened a little.
