299 Knots and Secrets
"We want to see your patriarch," Wei Li said expressionlessly looking at these surprised Nangong masters.
The last time he came to the main land of the Nangong family, he met the old patriarch directly, so he didn't have to make much effort to explain his intention.
This time today, it doesn't look like it's so lucky.
After all, Su Ling is more or less similar to when he left the ancestral land of the Nangong family.
If these people can't dispel their suspicions about her and know her true identity, maybe her heart will be even more sad.
After listening to Wei Li's words, those clansmen of the Nangong family were a little puzzled, you look at me, I look at you.
It took a long time for someone to turn around and run to the big house behind the cabin, but soon the man returned. Stand at the front of the crowd and say to them, "The patriarch has spoken, let them in." ”
The old patriarch gave the order, and the men were no longer fenced off. Instead, he directly got out of the way and let Su Ling and Wei Li pass.
Along the way, he looked at the Nangong people who were watching them, and Su Ling did not speak. Holding back his sadness and heartache, he walked with Wei Li to the big room behind the cabin, where the patriarch lived.
The big room was wide and bright, and the bright rays of the sun shone in from the outside, illuminating every corner of the room.
The gray-haired old patriarch sat in the center of the room, watching Su Ling and Wei Li walk in, smiling all the time.
"Patriarch Nangong, Wei Li is disturbed again." Looking at the old man with a kind smile in front of him, it was the first time for Su Ling to see Wei Li so respectful. Bend down to say hello to someone.
I was also surprised that Wei Li said that he was disturbing again, that is, he had been here before. Could it be the one I saw when I was a child?
As for Su Ling herself, after being surprised. It's just that his eyes were red and he bowed down in the most primitive way according to the unique way of the clansmen of the Nangong family.
But for Su Ling's actions, Nangong Ruoqing, the patriarch of the Nangong family, was not so surprised, but just looked at her with a smile.
"Mr. Wei is polite, the old man said that our Nangong family welcomes Mr. Wei at any time." After reading Su Ling, Nangong Ruoqing turned his gaze to Wei Li's body, and then said.
Listened to Nangong Ruoqing's words. Wei Li smiled faintly.
And then nothing was said. Just pulled Su Ling directly and sat down opposite Nangong Ruoqing.
Sensing Wei Li's actions, Su Ling shook his head at him nervously.
Then he pulled out the hand he was holding, and sat down on the side of the table in front of Nangong Ruoqing.
The Nangong family has rules. Except for the head of the Nangong family, who is qualified to sit face-to-face with the patriarch. There are only guests from outside. I was qualified to do it in that position.
Su Ling is just a dead soldier of the Nangong family. She kept in mind where she was supposed to sit.
Wei Li has never seen Su Ling, who has a cold and arrogant personality, look like this in front of anyone.
So he looked at Su Ling. That look is also extremely spoiled.
"It's okay, just sit across from us." On the contrary, Nangong Ruoqing saw Su Ling's actions and said to her with a smile.
But his words made Su Ling look at him with some surprise and sadness, and said. "Patriarch, don't you recognize who I am?"
But Nangong Ruoqing didn't answer Su Ling's words directly, just said with a smile. "Just sit down across from it."
"Su Ling, listen to the patriarch." Seeing Su Ling looking at Nangong Ruoqing in such surprise and not moving, Wei Li said again.
So Su Ling, who was entangled for a while, finally sat next to Wei Li obediently and looked at Nangong Ruoqing quietly.
First of all, it was Wei Li who spoke first and said to Nangong Ruoqing. "Patriarch Nangong, we have some trouble in the future place. So I want some people to stay here for three months, and when the time comes, we'll come and pick them up. ”
"Yes," Nangong Ruoqing didn't think about Wei Li's request at all, so he agreed directly.
And Wei Li, who had already guessed that Nangong Ruoqing would agree, smiled faintly again. Say, "Thank you." ”
"Mr. Wei is polite, if you really want to say thank you, it should be the old man." Facing Wei Li, Nangong Ruoqing looked at Su Ling as he said this.
"Our little Ah Ling has a lot of thoughts, and if something like that happens, we can still hold on to it. And it must be so beautiful, Mr. Wei must have worked very hard. ”
Listening to Nangong Ruoqing's words, Su Ling was shocked and looked at him incredulously.
It turned out that the patriarch had already recognized her, and the patriarch knew everything. He knew everything about what was going to happen later.
Feeling Su Ling's shock, Wei Li just held her hand tightly and quietly. Then he smiled and said to Nangong Ruoqing, "This is what Wei Li should do, after all, I also have a certain responsibility in this matter." ”
From the hands they held as soon as they first appeared, Nangong Ruoqing could already see the relationship between Su Ling and Wei Li.
It's just that he is happy to see this happen.
After the Nangong clan was wiped out, Nangong Ling had too many things to bear alone.
If someone like Wei Li was by her side and treated her well, he believed that Nangong Ling would be much easier.
"Patriarch, do you recognize me?" Nangong Ruoqing laughed like that, Su Ling couldn't help but see that tears were about to spread out of his eyes.
But Nangong Ruoqing still smiled, and looked at Su Ling so kindly and said. "Old man, how could I not recognize our little Ah Ling? Although little Aling has grown up, her appearance has changed a lot. But as long as he sees Ah Ling's eyes, the old man will recognize it. ”
At this moment, Su Ling finally couldn't help but shed tears.
She was so sad that she choked up. "Patriarch, since you know what is going to happen next, Ah Ling begs you to take them away."
"Ah Ling knows the patriarch's persistence, and he also understands that the patriarch and the clansmen must complete the mission of protection. But Ah Ling really doesn't want to see that scene, Ah Ling hopes you all well. ”
But Su Ling cried so much and persuaded like this. Nangong Ruoqing didn't react at all. Just shook his head.
"Ah Ling, you mean that the patriarch knows everything, but there are some things that cannot be escaped. As long as the secret treasure is there, the clansmen of the Nangong family will not be able to escape such a catastrophe sooner or later. ”
"But you've all sacrificed, what's the use of asking for a secret treasure? There is no one to fulfill the legacy of the ancestors. The head of the family is gone, why do you insist so much? ”
Although Su Ling understood and understood Nangong Ruoqing's insistence, she still couldn't accept his decision.
Could it be that this mission, which is very likely to be impossible to complete at all, is really more precious than the more than a hundred lives of the Nangong clan?
"We still have Ah Ling, now we see Ah Ling you have become so powerful. The old man knows. There was nothing wrong with the decision I made in the first place. ”
Su Ling cried Nangong Ruoqing but still smiled like that, "Our Ah Ling is very strong, even without us clansmen, Ah Ling can become very strong." ”
Tears kept falling at the same time. Only then did Su Ling understand the truth of the thing that had always made him haunted.
"Patriarch, what do you mean. Do you still treat me as a member of the Nangong family? Or ......"
Speaking of this, Su Ling's words paused again. Tears flowed even more freely. "Or did the patriarch drive me out of the Nangong family just to save my life and escape that catastrophe?"
"If only you understood. The next thing, the mission of the Nangong family is completely on Ah Ling. Don't let the patriarch or the people down. Ah Ling, you must take good care of the secret treasure. This is the only hope for humanity to survive thousands of years later. ”
Facing Su Ling, Nangong Ruoqing said something bitterly.
Then he turned around and said to Wei Li. "Ah Ling bothered Mr. Wei to take care of and protect him, and the old man thanked him in advance."
Nangong Ruoqing's words made Su Ling still collapse after all, all the disguises were put down, and he cried bitterly.
Particularly unbearable to glance at Su Ling, Nangong Ruoqing still sighed. Then he got up, turned and left the house.
Many things were not something they could do as they thought, and as the patriarch of the Nangong family, he didn't want to see more than a hundred people die under the butcher's knife from the future alien race.
But he couldn't help it, if he didn't use blood to deflect the eyes of those people. They simply have no way and no ability to protect the Arcana.
I only hope that Nangong Ling will not let them down and not let their blood flow in vain. The head of the house is no longer there, and presumably this turn will definitely buy her time to gain strength against those people.
"Okay Su Ling, don't be sad." hugged Su Ling, who was already crying heartbreakingly, and Wei Ling's sadness was no less than her. I also feel very sorry for her.
At that time, she saw that there were so many corpses in the Nangong family, and she had never cried so bitterly.
Wei Li knew that she had suppressed all her sadness in her heart.
That's why she became so indifferent. She sealed all her hatred and bloody wounds in her heart.
But Su Ling didn't seem to be able to hear Wei Li's words at all, just leaning on his arms, tears soaking his chest.
Su Ling didn't know how long it was, and she didn't know how long she cried.
I only knew that I was later, and my body was soft and my eyes were dark, so I fell asleep directly.
Gratgy, as if everything that had happened before was a dream.
When Su Ling opened his eyes again, he found that he was still sleeping in the cabin of the Nangong family.
And this room is the one that Su Ling has been living in before he left the ancestral land of the Nangong family.
Wei Li, who couldn't rest assured, stayed by her bedside from beginning to end, and when he saw her wake up, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Su Ling, you're finally awake, are you okay?"
"I'm fine," smiled at Wei Li forcefully, and Su Ling spoke again but found that his voice was already hoarse.
But Wei Li was very distressed, grabbed Su Ling's hand and looked at her with sad eyes, "Su Ling, don't be like this, okay?" I brought you here just to untie the knot in your heart. But if you're so upset, I'll think I'm doing something wrong. ”
"No," Wei Li was like this, and Su Ling's eyes couldn't help but turn red again.
"I'm really happy to be able to meet the patriarchs. Wei Li, thank you, after those words came out, my heart felt a lot better. At least I don't feel like I'm an outcast. I at least know where I want to go in the future. How many expectations are placed on his body. ”
But even though she said this, Wei Li still looked at her uneasily. "Then you can promise me not to be so sad no matter what happens in the future, okay? Su Ling, you make me feel so heartbroken, and it also makes me feel so helpless for the first time. ”
"Okay, I won't." Looking at Wei Li, Su Ling was a guarantee.
But as soon as she finished speaking, the door of the cabin was pushed open.
A man with a bright smile walked in from outside the door. Look at them and say, "Miss Su is awake?" ”
As he spoke, he walked to the bed, and the wooden bowl with the food was handed directly to Wei Li. also smiled and said, "When I checked Miss Su's pulse before, I found that Miss Su was a little deficient in blood and qi. So when I was boiling porridge, I added a few flavors of Chinese medicine to it. ”
"Thank you," Seeing Su Ling looking at the man dumbfounded and not speaking, Wei Li said directly.
He had long expected that Su Ling would not be calm when he saw Nangong Minghao again, so he had already made preparations.
But Su Ling was always dumbfounded, didn't say anything, just looked at Nangong Minghao directly.
For Su Ling's gaze, Nangong Minghao was obviously a little embarrassed. He just said a few polite words, and then turned and left the cabin.
After Nangong Minghao left, Wei Li blew the medicinal porridge he sent, and fed it to Su Ling's mouth, who had not spoken from beginning to end.
It wasn't until a bowl of porridge was fed that Su Ling muttered. "When I was young, my brother used to boil porridge for me to drink. It's a pity that I won't be able to eat it in the future. ”
Listening to Su Ling's words, Wei Li took the bowl with his hand. It took a long time before he said, "Then when I return to the planet, I will teach Xiao Yue to make such porridge." ”
"Well, what?" Listening to Wei Li's words, Su Ling obviously didn't react to what he meant.
But Wei Li smiled and said. "Xiao Yue is a planetary person created by me who took Nangong Minghao's genes. Even Nangong Minghao himself is right. ”
I didn't expect such a thing, Su Ling looked at Wei Li so incredulously. "How so? You've never told me before. ”
How could Xiao Yue be Nangong Minghao? How many things did Wei Li not know about him?
Now that he had said this, Wei Li knew that he didn't need to hide it from Su Ling anymore.
Instead, he put down the bowl he was holding in his hand, and stretched out his hand while gently stroking Su Ling's hair. While talking to her, "This is going to be four years ago, when the Nangong family was wiped out. I saw that you were so sad, so I tried my best to take more than 100 genes from the Nangong family and put them in the planetary government. (To be continued.) )
