"How's it going? Has the tree been cut off?"

Shen Mengting's eyelids were pressed low, and her movement of leaning on the trunk of the tree was more comfortable, as if she was going out on an outing.

"Huh, what's going on? You obviously have a lot of power just now?" Zhao Yu looked like Zhang Er was confused.

"But, what about strength?" Shen Mengting raised her eyebrows to one side.

"There was obviously it just now!" Zhao Yu is eyes widened, and his face revealed a sense of purity. He kept looking at the big tree cut down in front of him, as well as Shen Mengting on the side.

"Just now?" Shen Mengting squinted, and there was a sense of disdain in her tone.

"Yes, yes. Just now. Obviously there is a very, very powerful force, and a strange blue light. ”

"Hmph!

"I'm right. ”

"But what about reality?" Shen Mengting spread her hands, "What about that tree now?"

She pressed her chin in front of Zhao Yu. The tree was barely damaged, and the sword had only broken its skin.

"I don't know how this happened!" Zhao Yu looked at the sword that was slashing across the tree in amazement.

He blinked blankly, and soon tried to pull the sword out. But even when he touched the hilt with both hands and pulled with all his might, he could not pull the sword away.

The sword was as if it had been pressed into a strong paste, firmly fixed on the thick trunk of a tree. Even, Zhao Yu had the illusion that the sword and the trunk were one.

Looking at Zhao Yu's incompetent appearance, Shen Mengting twitched the corners of her mouth.

"What are you doing?"

"I ...... I ......"

"Now the fact is that you can't even cut down the big tree of this lesson, you can't even cut it deeper. By the way, you can't pull this sword right now, do you, don't you know a little bit about your own strength?"

"But I did cut down a big tree before. It's true. ”

"Hehe, really!" Shen Mengting's vision was becoming more and more empty, "You said it was true, it was true." I don't have time to mess around with you little hairy kid. ”

"I'm right. ”

Because he had not been able to pull out the sword, Zhao Yu let go of his hand and punched the trunk of the tree. What the hell is going on? One punch wasn't enough, and he threw several more punches at the still, tree trunk. However, after a few punches, his hand was in some pain. He had no choice but to give up, and shook his fist, which was already a little red and swollen.

"Well, really!" Shen Mengting mocked in a weird tone of yin and yang.

"What? You don't believe me?"

"The reality is in front of me, how can you tell me to believe you?"

"But isn't the reality just now in front of you?" Zhao Yu pointed at the tree that had fallen in the plain that had just been cut down by him, "Didn't you see it with your eyes? ”

"What does that prove? It must have been cut by you?"

"Trees fall for no reason?"

"Maybe it was going to fall? Or maybe it was crumbling to the ground by someone before? You just pushed it in the past and it fell. And then you'll be able to settle the account on yourself?"

"With all that said, don't you still believe I'm going to cut down a big tree?"

"Zhao Yu, it's not that I don't believe you. I, Shen Mengting, only believe in my own eyes. As she spoke, Shen Mengting stretched out her index finger in front of her face and poked it hard at the eye sockets, as if she wanted to pull out her eyeballs.

"Well, you only trust your own eyes. Okay, okay. Zhao Yu nodded excitedly.

He rubbed his hands together and tried to pull the sword out again. However, this time it was still the same as the previous one, even though he used his strength to eat milk, he still failed to move the sword to a half-point position.

Shen Mengting shook her head. She didn't want to pay attention to Zhao Yu anymore, so she strode towards the plain.

"What the hell is going on? I'm embarrassed to say that I can cut down a big tree. I'm so stupid that I would believe your words and come here to see what happened! Hehe, I don't know which tendon was wrong, but I would believe that you would increase your strength. ”

"I'm telling the truth. Zhao Yu, who fell behind her, roared loudly.

"Yes, really. I believe you, can't I succeed?" Shen Mengting didn't even look back, and stretched out a hand and waved it back.

"Hey, what do you mean by that?" Zhao Yu turned the volume up as if he was angry, and he protested by stomping his feet and reaching down his arms.

"It's not interesting. I just praise you!"

"You...... You ......" Zhao Yu couldn't bear it anymore, he jumped up suddenly, and stepped his feet on the ground again, "Why do you look down on me like this! Where did I provoke you, so that you always have an arrogant expression!"

Zhao Yu's roar resounded throughout the forest, and his resounding sound reverberated in the plain.

This fluttering echo made Shen Mengting stop. She didn't turn around for the first time, but hooked the corners of her mouth with a quivering laugh, and she slowly turned her head.

"What did you say?"

Zhao Yu was extremely aggrieved at the moment, and he was still breathing because of excitement, as if he had just run violently.

"You just said why do I look down on you, right?" As the slow words came out, Shen Mengting turned around completely.

Zhao Yu quickly fanned himself with his hand: "Yes, am I not right? Why do you look down on me?"

Shen Mengting suddenly seemed to hear something interesting, "Huh...... Hehe...... Hehehe......" she pursed her lips and laughed, her body all lying together, "You...... How could you ask such a strange question?"

"What's wrong?"

"You actually ask me why I look down on you?" Shen Mengting took a long step, her eyes were also staring at Zhao Yu when she walked towards him, and her smile did not fade a little, "Don't you have a little self-knowledge in your heart?"

"You...... What are you trying to say?"

Shen Mengting's laughter became louder, and she even applauded, "You are really ...... How shall I describe you?"

Zhao Yu's body was unconsciously retreating, but when he discovered this phenomenon, he still forced himself to stand up.

"Hey, Zhao Yu, are you stupid?"

"You...... Hey, what are you doing! Even personal attacks have come out!" Zhao Yu pouted.

"Haven't you discovered a fact these days?"

"What the hell are you trying to say?"

"What kind of waste you are, don't you have any count in your heart?"

"You...... You ......"

Before Zhao Yu could express his angry words, Shen Mengting suddenly stood in front of him. Zhao Yu was in a panic and gently supported the thick tree trunk next to him.

"Think about it yourself. Shen Mengting's expression was fluttering, "What have you done these days? You're twenty years old! You can't even ride a horse, and you can't do any farm work." I don't think you can even make the simplest fire. Haha! A man who doesn't know anything, haha...... Hahahaha...... Isn't that a waste of firewood?"

Zhao Yu couldn't find the words to refute for a while, so he had to stare at the other party in a daze.

"How? Don't you dare to refute anything, because now you know in your heart that you are a person who can't do anything. Shen Mengting poked her index finger at Zhao Yu in a void.

Zhao Yu began to move his mouth violently. But that's all there is to it, he doesn't let out any sound, like a mute who wants to speak but can't.

"Well, I'm not going to talk about the simplest common sense. Then let's talk about the swordsman trials that we have talked about the most these days!" Shen Mengting raised her head, "It's been a few days, tell me yourself, what level has your swordsman reached?"

"It's been a few days, it's only a week!"

"A week is not too short. But what about you? You can't even do the most basic slashing motions. ”

"That's a few days ago, and I'm pretty good at it now, okay?"

"The so-called standard is just your wishful thinking!" Shen Mengting twitched the corner of her mouth with extreme disdain, "Don't say a few words about you, are you still struggling?"

"You ......"

"I'll tell you. In the past week, the progress of your swordsman's trial has not even been as good as that of others by an hour. No, it should all be said to be a matter of ten minutes. Although Shen Mengting's tone was deep and aggravated, she still pointed hard at the open area in the distance, "You want to! You can't even reach the level of ten minutes." What else do you say about becoming a real swordsman? What else do you say that you can cut down these big trees that are difficult for even intermediate swordsmen to cut down?" Shen Mengting's fingers kept wandering around, and finally settled on the big tree next to Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu didn't speak anymore, or he didn't have any words to release at all. He was like a deflated ball, and his body was gradually softening.

"I'll tell you. I, Shen Mengting, have seen countless people who have studied swordsmanship, but I have never seen someone like you, who has no talent at all, not to mention that he has no spirit to work hard. Shen Mengting grinned, and she pointed at Zhao Yu heavily.

Zhao Yu only felt dizzy, and his feet began to tremble. He clenched his fists in annoyance, and stopped looking at Shen Mengting angrily.

"What's wrong?

"I ...... You...... Why......" Zhao Yu's mouth revealed some incomprehensible words.

Shen Mengting didn't hear a word clearly, and of course she wasn't interested in listening to anything. "Oh! I look really unconvinced!"

Zhao Yu lowered his head, and his mouth was as high as he wanted.

"Zhao Yu! Sometimes I want to remind you. You might as well give up the swordsman trial as soon as possible! With your current state, it is impossible for you to become a swordsman. Don't avenge your mother. Because you went to find those Sauronites and sent them to death, you will be easily killed by them. So, for your own sake, you might as well find a random place to hide!Anyway, the country can't count on you to make any contribution to waste wood like you!" Shen Mengting whistled as she spoke, and kept shaking her head slightly.

Zhao Yu's brows slowly tightened, and he felt the heat near his eye sockets, as if tears were about to pour out.

"Oh, what's wrong? Are you going to cry again? Didn't you cry enough that night?"

Zhao Yu snorted violently, and his face was raised. In this way, he can be regarded as suppressing the sadness in his heart. He pushed his chin defiantly in front of Shen Mengting, and pursed his lips tightly.

"Hehe!, do you think it's useful to hold on? No matter how hard you hold on, you can't hide the fact that you are a waste wood, and it is almost impossible to become a swordsman. ”

Zhao Yu licked his lips that were closed without any gaps, "Follow...... Say whatever you want?"

"Yes, okay. Whatever I say, right?" Shen Mengting changed her leisurely standing posture, she clasped her arms with both hands, and tilted her head slightly to one side, "I have ever met one of the most inconspicuous and least talented people. But they worked extremely hard. He is a trial when others are resting. In the end, they relied on their own strength to reach the intermediate level of swordsman. That's what I admire the most. But Zhao Yu, do you have it?"

"It doesn't matter if the talent is poor, it's still respectable to be humble and hardworking. But what about you?" Shen Mengting began to throw out mocking words unscrupulously, "I am not enterprising at all, except for messing around." I sometimes really don't know what it means to live in the world for people like you?"

"Actually, it's not just about testing swordsmen, you can't do anything about it. I've only been in contact with you for a few days, but just those days, I feel like I saw a few years ago. Oh no. I should say that a few decades ago, you were a waste of wood. ”

Zhao Yu's confidence had been completely drained, and he lowered his head to the lowest point in silence.

"Sometimes I really don't understand how a person who is such a waste of wood can survive to this day. But now that I think about it, it must be your mother's work! She has been taking care of you and spoiling you in every possible way to make you survive in the world. ”

As soon as Zhao Yu heard someone talking about his mother, he instantly raised his head.

"Why? You probably realized it, and you wouldn't have been able to live this far without your mother. You're just going to die doing nothing. Speaking of this, Shen Mengting sighed deeply, "I also sympathize with your mother very much, to be honest, having a son like you is probably her biggest disbelief!"

Zhao Yu glared at Shen Mengting angrily, but Shen Mengting looked away disappreciatively.

"Don't be unconvinced. Your mother is truly miserable. Although I don't know about your family, I sympathize with her very much after decades of getting along with people like you. Because now that I've only lived with you for a few days, I can't stand you anymore. So I can't imagine how your mother and you lived for a few decades?"

"But!" Shen Mengting's words suddenly changed, "Sometimes if you think about it deeply, the reason why you became like this, your mother also has a very big responsibility. I can tell that she must be very doting on you, not letting you do anything, not letting you suffer anything, and giving you the best things she can do. However, it is because of this that you have become a useless waste wood who can't do anything. ”

Zhao Yu's heart tightened, and he only felt that a breath was rushing towards his head. Although Shen Mengting was actually not wrong at all, it was impossible for Zhao Yu to agree with anything.

"So to speak. Although I am very sympathetic to your mother, I am very disdainful of what she has done. To put it bluntly, I don't think she's a competent mother. Even, a very stupid mother. ”

"Hey, don't talk about my mother like that!" Zhao Yu suddenly roared.

This made Shen Mengting also glare. She straightened her back without showing weakness, "You can't help it even if you don't admit it." The reality is that she has a lot of responsibility. However, I didn't blame her for anything. My feelings for your mother are more sympathetic than accusatory. Because even if your mother dotes on you very much, it is still relatively rare to be able to reach the level of you Zhao Yu. ”

Shen Mengting held up her hand and pushed it in the direction of Zhao Yu: "So, I can feel the pitiful feeling of your mother when she was alive." I guess she's seeing other children's children doing this and that, but her own children are doing nothing. I guess I'm very uncomfortable!"

"You...... You...... I've been talking nonsense since I just started! That's enough. ”

"What? Did I say something wrong? Didn't you tell me to say whatever I wanted?"

"What's going on in my mother's heart, it has nothing to do with you as a woman?"

"Well, yes, it's none of my business. But I'm just telling the truth. I also hope that you can be self-aware and know how your mother felt when she was alive, and remind you how pitiful she is to have a son like you."

"You talk nonsense. My mom and I are very happy living together. ”

"Are you sure you really know your mother, or do you really see all of your mother?"

"You...... What do you want to say?"

"Actually, you don't see the whole thing about your mother, and you can't see the true side of her heart. Shen Mengting's gaze was extremely sharp, "To put it bluntly." All you see is what your mother wants to be, what she wants to show you. You don't know anything about her either. ”

"You...... Are you talking nonsense, my mother ......" was about to roar, but Zhao Yu suddenly stopped.

'Even if you don't have any chance, you're still your mother's son!' this can't be changed,' Zhao Yu recalled, his mother once told him.

The implication of these words is: Zhao Yu is a child who has no prospects, but he suffers from flesh and blood, and he cannot change the fate of continuing to live together!

Zhao Yu's thinking was completely messed up, and he felt like he had fallen into a big whirlpool. The surroundings also became whirling, and the image of Shen Mengting in front of her was also blurred.

"If you really have to think about it cruelly. Even if it is true, as you say, your mother often looks happy when she lives with you. But she must be very sad when you're not there. She feels bad about having a son like you, but in order to take care of your emotions, she just shouldn't express it to you. ”

"Also, no matter how strong she is in the face of her. But after so many years of ups and downs, she must be full of old age! But you have to recall for yourself, has she ever shown her old state in front of you? If not, it proves that what I said is correct. She deliberately pretended to be energetic in front of her, in order not to worry you too much, but in fact she was very painful. It's true. ”

Zhao Yu's entire body leaned against the big tree, and his emotions were also underestimated.

"How is it?Do you have any comments on everything I said before?" Shen Mengting casually found the nearest tree and propped it up to the trunk with one palm. She also stood with one foot crossed behind the other.

"You should have no opinion!"
