259 And so it was decided
Zhu Yuenuan stood on a rock on the mountainside of Longscale Mountain, holding Tao Xun in her hand, and lying beside her wolves who were quietly licking their wounds.
The war was over, the fire inside the gate had been extinguished so that only the smoke that could not be dispersed remained, and from a distance, the city and the outside of the city were busy.
"You're really not going?" Natuo turned out from behind, stood a foot away and looked at Zhu Yuenuan and asked.
Zhu Yuenuan retracted her gaze, turned around and walked into the forest, and the two wolves raised since childhood immediately followed, and the wolves stood up one after another to follow.
Na Tuo looked at Zhu Yuenuan, waiting for an answer, and seeing that she was about to enter the forest, he hurriedly caught up with two more steps and asked, "Are you really not going back?" After this battle, the vitality of the gate was greatly damaged, and he ...... It's exactly when you are needed most. ”
Zhu Yuenuan stopped, didn't look back, and said lightly: "Waiting for a hundred wastes, it's time for him to show his strength, what should I do?" ”
"Don't you have anything to bring him?" Nata's eyes flashed slightly, and he asked again.
"No need." Zhu Yuenuan looked at him sideways, and said lightly, "What I'm doing here, please help me keep it secret, thank you." ”
Na Tuo was dumbfounded for a moment, looked at her deeply, and nodded slightly: "Okay." ”
Zhu Yuenuan blessed him from afar, and led the wolves back to the tree house where she lived.
There wasn't much movement near the treehouse, and the protection she had done when she left was the same.
Zhu Yuenuan removed the small mechanism in front, led all the wolves in, and began to fetch water to apply medicine to each wolf.
"Woo woo~~" After being busy for most of the day, when he was bandaging the last wolf, suddenly the wolves stood up in unison, and whispered at the warning not far away, Zhu Yuenuan couldn't help but look back in surprise, quickly tied the cloth strip, and stood up.
Not far away are dense trees, and there is no surprise to see.
Zhu Yuenuan thought for a while, blew a whistle, and more than a dozen wolves rushed out, surrounding one of the trees, each with their tails lowered, and posed behind the tree in a posture ready to attack at any time.
"Who's where?" Zhu Yuenuan frowned and walked over slowly.
"Girl?" From behind the tree came the voice of the old man in surprise and confusion.
"Grandpa Wu?!" Zhu Yuenuan was stunned for a moment, and immediately issued an order to let the wolves retreat.
Wu Laohan walked out from behind the tree, his clothes were scratched by the branches in several places, he looked haggard, but he looked at Zhu Yuenuan with a look of surprise, ran over in three steps and two steps, stretched out his hand to support Zhu Yuenuan, up and down, looked carefully and carefully, and then breathed a long sigh of relief: "Huh~~~ I finally found you, I knew that you girl would never be fine." ”
"Grandpa Wu, why are you here?" Zhu Yuenuan was surprised, stepped forward to hold the hand of the old man, and took him to the tree house, "You sit, I'm just coming back, there is no hot water in the house." ”
"No, no, I'm out to find you, go back with me, there's something big going on in the door." Wu Laohan waved his hand again and again, looked at Zhu Yuenuan eagerly and said.
"Grandpa Wu, don't worry, the gate is fine." Zhu Yuenuan chuckled, found two bamboo cans, poured some water from the water bag and put them in front of Wu Laohan, and said soothingly.
"I didn't ...... You know it all? Wu Laohan suddenly came to his senses, looked at her and asked.
"There is a big incident in the Huyou Haksh tribe, and for a while, they are afraid that they will have no time to find trouble in the door." Zhu Yuenuan smiled slightly.
"You did it?" Wu Laohan stared at Zhu Yuenuan, his eyes lit up, and he laughed, "I knew that you wouldn't let them go, it turns out that you haven't shown up, it's to do something big, okay, okay." ”
Zhu Yuenuan looked at the old man with a smile and didn't speak.
"Now that everything is settled, what are you doing here? Come back with me. Wu Laohan was in a good mood, drank all the water in front of him, stood up and greeted him.
"Grandpa, I'm not going back to the gate." Zhu Yuenuan followed and got up, but shook her head and refused.
"Girl, between husband and wife, there is a quarrel at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed, there is no overnight grudge, not to mention, how did the adults treat you in the past, we all saw it, he was suddenly like that, there must be some hardship in the middle, are you still here?" When the old man heard this, he looked at Zhu Yuenuan seriously, and in the end, his expression was gloomy, he sat back, and sighed, "Girl, you are still young now, and you are arrogant, and you feel that it is a loss of face to bow your head first, how could I not be like this back then, when I arrived, I only ended up with a home and couldn't go back, like a lonely ghost ......"
"Grandpa, where is your family?" It was the first time Zhu Yuenuan had heard Wu Laohan talk about his family, and he couldn't help but ask curiously.
"My family ......" Wu Laohan's eyes were slightly wet, he glanced at Zhu Yuenuan deeply, shook his head gloomily, lowered his head and said, "Perhaps, they don't want to recognize me for a long time." ”
"How can it be, no matter what happened before, how can the blood and family ties be severed?" Zhu Yuenuan hurriedly persuaded, "You sue me, where are they?" I'll help you find them, and maybe they've been looking for you all these years. ”
"Find me...... How could it be ......" Wu Laohan seemed to remember something, shook his head with a wry smile, looked up at Zhu Yuenuan, and persuaded, "Girl, go back with grandpa, grandpa won't lie to you, even if you are not for Lord Chu, but also for the people of Qimen, go back." ”
"Grandpa, I know you won't lie to me, and it's for my good, so I won't lie to you." Zhu Yue's heart warmed, and she knelt down and looked at Wu Laohan and explained seriously, "I can't go back now, and I want to keep my affairs here, please help me keep it secret." ”
"Why? Is it because of the prefect's daughter? Wu Laohan asked.
Zhu Yuenuan shook her head slowly, her eyes were clear, and she said softly, "What is she?" It's worth my effort. I was just...... To tell you the truth, I came out because of what he said that day. ”
"He didn't mean it." Wu Laohan hurriedly helped Chu Yitong to say good things, "Since you can follow him to the gate, you must have a lot of trust and understanding of him, right?" Why can't I see that he is ...... this time?"
"Grandpa, even if it's not true, what can you do?" Zhu Yuenuan sighed and interrupted the old man, "You also said that I can follow him to the gate and do so many things for him, but in the end, why can't he believe me?" What can't be said, discussed together, and faced together, but choose such a hurtful way? ”
"Is this ......" Wu Laohan was suddenly asked.
"However, what he said is also right, from beginning to end, I thought that everything I did was for his good, but in fact, it has inadvertently affected the prestige of his county." Zhu Yuenuan lowered her eyes, looked at the table in front of her, and said faintly, "I hope that my departure will allow him to pick up the qiē he wanted." ”
"Girl, although I don't know what you said, but I know that Lord Chu has been very difficult these days, he has lost a lot of weight, although he is not one of those pampered sons, but in the end he is just a scholar, and if he continues like this, he will not be able to bear it." The old man sighed and persuaded in a serious tone.
"Grandpa, don't worry, he will get through it." Zhu Yuenuan smiled, "The matter of the gate is almost over, I am afraid that there is not much left of the bandits in the Dragon Scale Mountain this time, it doesn't matter if I can't go back or not, it is better to take this opportunity to end some other important matters." ”
"Alas, well, the old man can't say you, and he can't beat you, so I won't say it." Wu Laohan moved his body, simply crossed his legs, glared at Zhu Yuenuan and said, "That's right, anyway, the old man can't help when he goes back, so I'm here to accompany you." ”
"......" Zhu Yuenuan was suddenly dumbfounded, looked at the old man with a funny smile and asked, "Grandpa, aren't you afraid of those wolves?" ”
"Don't be afraid, I can see it all just now, anyway, with you, those wolves are no different from domestic dogs." The old man was like a child, tilting his head and playing tricks.
"......" Zhu Yuenuan was silent for a moment, and then said, "I don't have anything here." ”
"You're not afraid of a woman, what are you afraid of when my old man is old? Besides, I run all over the mountains on weekdays, so can I take everything with me? Wu Laohan was unmoved.
"There's only one treehouse here." Zhu Yuenuan continued to persuade.
"I'll take one to the side by myself in a moment." Wu Laohan retorted directly, without a trace of hesitation.
"Grandpa......" Zhu Yuenuan was out of options, so she had to look at the old man helplessly.
"It's useless to shout, it's settled." Wu Laohan stood up, walked to the door, stopped again, looked back at Zhu Yuenuan, and said, "Girl, the old man doesn't have your ability to go back and forth, you have to send me down first, and I'll find a shorter tree." ”
"Grandpa, are you really not leaving?" Zhu Yuenuan followed and asked again.
"Don't go." Wu Laohan stiffened his neck, replied loudly, and then glanced at Zhu Yuenuan again, and added, "Anyway, I'll follow you wherever you go, you said before that you want to treat me as a grandfather and honor me well, what's the matter?" Lord Chu, you don't care, you don't care about the gate, you don't even care about the old man? ”
"I didn't say I didn't care about you." Zhu Yuenuan sighed in frustration, stretched out her hand to help the old man, and said in a compromise, "You can live in this room, I'll rebuild one myself, and I'll help you get a ladder later." ”
"Hehe, I knew you girl wouldn't leave me alone." The old man smiled triumphantly, happily entered the house, bent his waist and began to clean up, while asking, "Last time your father was in trouble, a kung fu boy saved us, I guess, you may be in this mountain, and you are really right, but, girl, where did you find so many wolves?" Aren't you afraid that they will bite you? It's obvious that a delicate woman wants to do things that many big men may not do, but you should tell me, who are you for? Don't tell me, it's for the people of Qimen, who can you know before you come to Qimen? ”
Zhu Yuenuan pursed her lips, stood at the door and looked at the wolves under the tree, silent.
"Obviously they care so much, but they still have to say those hurtful words, alas, why is this?" Wu Laohan chattered endlessly, and his hands did not stop, while looking at Zhu Yuenuan at the door, while sweeping the dust in the house. (To be continued.) )
