Chapter X
"I've found that when you feel a little guilty, you use cooking to express it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Zuo Xin said as he stared at the cucumber that was quickly sliced by Zuo An.
"I think it's easy to get closer." After Zuo An finished speaking, he sent her not to stand dry, but also to help wash the fruits and vegetables.
"Tell me about the Bing Clan."
Zuo An's gaze behind the lens was slightly silent, and Zuo Xin thought he was reluctant to say, "It's okay if you don't say it." ”
"The Ice Clan is what we call it internally." He adjusted his mindset to the best way to make the whole history sound both true but not so serious, "because this race has the ability to convert water directly into ice." But we haven't seen it with our own eyes, and such legends have been passed down from the older generation. The five families have a contract with the Ice Clan that has lasted for thousands of years, that is, to protect the Ice Clan. ”
"What about the specifics. Did you know? ”
Zuo An shook his head, "Since we were born, our elders have told us that it is our duty to protect this race. A lot of people are asking why. But none of them were answered. ”
"To what extent is that protection?"
"Anytime, anywhere, even if it's life." When Zuo An said this, although he was extremely bland, Zuo Xin still heard a different emotion from it.
"How could you sign such a contract for no reason?"
Zuo An gently turned the steak in the frying pan, "That's the problem." 100% giving, no reason. Cracks are very susceptible. So, one hundred and fifty years ago, the five families wanted to break free from this shackle. ”
Zuo Xin carefully worded, "You said that the Bing clan disappeared, and they failed?" ”
"On the contrary, they won." Zuo An paused, the night outside was getting darker, and his own reflection was reflected in the window at the same time. You can tell from the images that your emotions are ebbing and flowing. Although this is a history that no one wants to mention, it still has to be completely said from his own mouth as the enlightenment education of the left heart, "The five families have been hit hard. The disappearance of the Bing clan was not directly related to this rebellion. ”
"The process, the reason."
"None of this is something we don't know." Zuo An motioned to Zuo Xin to hand over the plate, and put the fried steak on it, the aroma of ripe cow wool overflowed this space, Zuo Xin couldn't help but bite directly with a fork to eat, Zuo An was helpless against her rude behavior, "The current five families are still looking for it." ”
"Who are the other three families?"
"I won't tell you, I just want you to understand the situation in general and know the current situation, but I don't want you to get involved."
"But I don't know why they don't like me." Even Zuo Xin himself didn't notice a fierce gaze, which was an emotion that firmly did not want unequal treatment. This made Zuo An feel for the first time that Zuo Xin was not as easy to control as he originally imagined.
"They broke the contract because it made them feel like a shackle. Your appearance represents the reappearance of responsibility, and the entanglement of the past has not been resolved, and the Bing clan has disappeared. Your presence now will make the situation and embarrassing, and besides, your appearance means that there are more Ice Clan people around, which will make them nervous. The best is that you are safe, but the worst is far from what we can imagine. ”
"So that's the wrong explanation that I was born?"
"I know it's unfair to you. But that's the way the world is. Zuo An did not choose words of consolation, but encouraged her to face the reality, "What we have to do next is to let you live well." ”
Zuo Xin knew the reason why he was unpopular, but it didn't mean that he could accept this reason, and before his emotional time and space, he changed the topic, "Then why did I adopt me." ”
"There is a mistake in the causal relationship. It was only after I adopted you that I discovered your Bing clan lineage. ”
"Then how many elements of protecting the family do you have in it?"
The question goes back to the question that little girls love to struggle with. Zuo An obviously has unique experience in this area, "It is my responsibility to protect my family. It is also my responsibility to protect you. ”
Zuo Xin also felt that it seemed a little old-fashioned if he was entangled, so he helped to do things to alleviate the embarrassment.
"Left heart."
When Zuo Xin heard this term, his brows couldn't help but wrinkle quietly, generally he used these two words so alone, there must be something serious to happen, this is something he hates a little, and it is generally aimed at himself, so, Zuo Xin has already made a look of repentance when he heard it, but the words she heard made her look slightly stiff halfway,
"I don't want you to get too close to Gong Yu."
"I'm worried he'll find out about my ・・・・・・"
"That's one of the reasons." Zuo An paused slightly, trying to simplify the complicated relationship between them, "Gong Yu loved a woman before, the daughter of the patriarch of the Bing clan, and at that time I thought that his self-control was very poor, and it was not a good thing to have a relationship with his employer as a mercenary. So, I broke them up. ”
Family-oriented, this has always been Zuo An's style, Zuo Xin thought to himself, "If he really loves that woman, he will definitely hate you." But I think he's always had a nonchalant attitude towards his partner now, either he's always been like this, or he's just hurt a lot. ”
Zuo An's face darkened a little, but Zuo Xin didn't notice it, "That's true, since then, he has become very patient, and everyone thinks that he has forgotten the past, or has seen it lightly." We will live together as a family. But I know, he didn't. He was very cautious, but I couldn't act rashly. Because others see that I am hurting him. So, whether it's my conjecture or not, there are a lot of people in the world, and you can make friends with many people and trust them, but he can't. Promise me. ”
Zuo Xin leaned over and hugged his tall body, feeling his care for him, "I believe in you." There are so many people in the world, you don't have to be friends with him. ”
The left heart was pressed against his chest, and he felt his chest slowly pushing out a breath, and he was breathing a sigh of relief. Thinking of this, Zuo Xin couldn't help but snicker in his heart. You already care so much about me. When will I take you down? Looking up, "Jin Boshan said that you have an extraordinary lifespan, how old are you?" ”
Zuo An turned his back and refused to answer the question.
Zuo Xin knew something in his heart. Then pick up a tomato and nibble there. After turning around a few times, he finally couldn't help asking, "That, who is Chitaki Mingyue, and what does it have to do with Jin Bomu." ”
"When the golden platinum wood smashed the stocking, I met Qianlong Mingyue, and at that time, Qianlong Mingyue already had the strength to give the golden platinum wood the most protection, attention and love when he was the weakest. The only common problem of these families is that they are similar to pets in some way, and they are too eager for love. Once it's settled, it's hard to change. The rest is just a matter of course. ”
Zuo Xinwei learned from Jin Boshan that because I Jin Boshan once said that his ** young brother used to be a seed of infatuation, but the other party's woman was an extremely powerful character, and she was between several men at the same time, and Jin Bo Mu at that time seemed to be enchanted. It seemed like she was his whole world. "She had another boyfriend at the time."
"He believes that as long as you give, you don't need to give back." The corners of Zuo An's mouth twitched, "This is the highest state of love." ”
After listening to it, Zuo Xin sighed, it looks like that kind of golden platinum wood still has such pure years. It's really asking what is the situation in the world, and it teaches people to promise life and death. Zuo Xin asked tentatively, "She, she should be very beautiful." ’”
"Pretty, smart, talented." Zuo An came to this conclusion while slicing the salmon.
Zuo Xin took the remaining half of the tomato and walked away silently. didn't pay attention to the smile on the corner of Zuo An's mouth, who was cooking with his head down.
Zuo An could feel a person approaching quickly from a distance, and only turned around when he was about to approach him, and hugged the person facing him, Zuo An sighed with satisfaction, "Vantina." ”
The man in his arms looked up and smiled dotingly.
The blade in the hand of the woman known as Vatina quickly cut the shredded potatoes, "You haven't raised a dog, how can you think of raising a child." Seeing Zuo An showing a hint of confusion, "I saw it just now, upstairs." ”
Zuo An nodded, noncommittal.
Seeing his performance, Vatina knew that this child really didn't know what to do in his heart, and as his friend, she understood Zuo'an. Although Zuo An is kind, he generally does not take over his hands, rarely meddles with things, and has maintained an attitude of staying out of the matter for decades, his attitude towards the outside world has changed, and he is very happy as his friend. But his attitude is because because of a little girl, neither really invested in a relationship, because the little girl's name is Zuoxin, if it is in love, the two people barely seem to be a little mismatched. The old cow eats tender grass, and this grass is obviously too tender. But if he wants to start a new relationship, it's gratifying. What happened a hundred years ago was something that Vutina really didn't want to talk about.
"That." Vatina was careful with her words, but had to ask, "Is she a normal human child?" ”
Zuo An paused when he was stir-frying, "No." ”
After getting the answer, Vatina almost didn't catch her breath, and Zuo An's next words shattered her previous beautiful vision of him.
"She's from the Ice Clan."
It was no longer shocking for Vatina to hear the name again, the name of this race was not too far away for them, but it was no longer out of reach. Because the name disappeared a hundred years ago.
"That nation is not already. ・・・・・・”
Zuo An turned to look at her, "She just has the blood of the Bing clan, as long as she is well protected, she will spend the rest of her life like a normal person, and there should be an accident about her appearance that we don't know about." You should know what the consequences will be if she does not have the protection of her elders. ”
Vatina touched Zuo'an's back to try to convince him, "Zuo'an, that race has nothing to do with us anymore, let's not get involved in this matter anymore, okay." ”
Outside, there was already a light rain, hitting the glass, sliding down in an arc, and the mottled rain lines split the dark inky sky in the distance. Zuo An was stunned, and then said, "It's just me." ”
Vatina was a little puzzled, "Didn't you let me know that you wanted me to help you?" ”
"I want you to know the truth of the matter early, even if I want you to help me, your identity should be out of the way. That helped me even more. ”
Vatina had never questioned Zuo'an's character, but this time the matter was too big, and she had to doubt his intentions, "If it's just to protect that child." No problem. But if you have any other ideas, I will be the first to kill her. ”
Zuo An didn't pause in the action of chopping vegetables, but if you stand next to him, you will find that he doesn't seem to use any force when doing this, and his gentleness is incredible. At the same time, he also understood that Vatina's words were not a warning. I understood what she meant.
When Zuo Xin took a bath and went downstairs, he saw that the dining table had been newly decorated, and a person wearing a fiery red dress with a little back exposed, elegant and charming. The wavy curls were slanted to the side, with her clothes, there was no decoration enough to be shockingly beautiful, and the gorgeous and generous woman was arranging the dishes and chopsticks, and when she saw her left heart, she smiled warmly, "Vatina." ”
Zuo Xin had never felt that such a beautiful woman made the same sex feel unusually comfortable, but her appearance here as a hostess made Zuo Xin a little uncomfortable, as if an animal had been robbed of territory.
Could it be that he just felt that Zuo An had some friendship for him, so Zuo An brought someone over for the night? Life is really ironic, and the tone is a little stiff, "I'm left-hearted." ”
After finishing the meal, Zuoxin went upstairs very obediently.
The chores seem to be shared by someone who is happy to share them.
"How much do you know about Chitaki Mingyue."
Vatina paused as she closed the refrigerator, her brows furrowed slightly, "Ah, the ** character of the last century." Slightly opened, he took out a can of drink from the refrigerator, and the foam filled up with the action of opening the can, "You know I don't have any contact with that kind of person, why do you think of asking her." ”
"Do you know where her grave is?"
Vatina's next tone turned out to be the same as the previous Jin Boshan, "You were also tricked by her to whip the corpse?" ”
"It's just that she took away a very important thing from someone else, and the owner asked me to find it back."
Vatina suddenly came to Zuo An from a distance, her face full of schadenfreude, "Tell me who it is, what she has handled." ”
"Why are you so happy?"
"Look at the group of men, knowing that there is a fire pit ahead, but they can't help but jump into it, and it took decades to come back to their senses, I really want to see the look of regret on her face. Who is he. ”
"I can't." Zuo An continued to turn around and brush the dishes, "He asked me to keep it a secret. ”
"I don't know, but I know there's someone who should know."
Zuo An listened thoughtfully, his two hands clasped together, his knuckles crackled,
