Chapter 985: What a slave of the Bai family!
Creak.
Creak.
The rocking chair is superb.
Made of solid wood. The workmanship is fine and ingenious. But the old man lay on it and shook it, still making a slight creaking sound.
Not due to the material of the rocking chair. It's because the old man is so big!
Even if he has lived for a century. Even if the various organs of his body have been consumed to the point of running out of oil and drying up. But his body is still so big that people look up!
This old man is none other than the old man of the Bai family.
His eyes were closed, and his body swayed rhythmically with the back and back of the rocking chair. A head full of gray hair was scattered on the rocking chair. It looks like the scattered branches and leaves of an old pine tree.
In front of him, a man and a woman stood.
The woman is dressed in plain clothes, and her posture is calm and indifferent. It's like a woman who doesn't eat the fireworks of the world.
The man didn't dare to look at Old Man Bai with a respectful face. It was always like this, and no one would feel that he was afraid of the old man in front of him. Yes, it's just that respect and admiration from the bottom of my heart.
He is the master. He's a minion.
He's the master of the shelf. And he, on the other hand, is a minion who no longer needs to grovel.
They are masters and servants, and likewise, friends. Even if no one ever picks it out. But both sides know it.
"Grandpa." Bai Wanjun spoke softly, breaking the strange atmosphere of silence.
"Hmm." The old man lay on the rocking chair and uttered a simple syllable.
"The bureau has been laid out." Bai Wanjun said in a flat tone.
"Nope." Old Man Bai opened his eyes suddenly. Those eyes that were so deep that they couldn't see the end projected a hint of meaningful essence.
When Bai Wanjun heard this, a trace of complexity flashed in her eyes. There is no justification.
In the next moment, Old Man Bai's gaze swept towards Wan Hai.
His gaze was unwavering, and he couldn't see the slightest emotion. But in Wan Hai's view, it contains too much.
"Merlin is dead." Wan Hai said softly. "My brother is also dead."
"No wonder you came to see me." The old man Bai showed a hint of discoloration. Said softly. "Do you regret it?"
"No regrets." Wan Hai shook his head vigorously.
"Get out." Old man Bai waved his hand.
Bai Wanjun obediently exited the room. The old man did not close the door.
She is such a steward of the Bai family. But she knows it well. The conversation of these old people of the Bai family, I really have no reason to listen.
Old Man Bai stared at Wan Hai indifferently. After being silent for a long time, he sighed softly: "I said it." You don't have to go out of the mountains. ”
"I have to go out of the mountains." Wan Hai said firmly.
"But you killed your own brother." Old Man Bai said. "You know. I'm not going to ask you to do anything. ”
"I know." Wan Hai showed a hint of relief on his face. Then he shook his head again. The expression is free and easy. "Who said that only young people talk about righteousness?"
"Is it worth it?" Old Man Bai said lightly. "I've been reluctant to learn about your brotherhood. I was unwilling, and I don't want to now. In the future - there is no chance. ”
"It's worth it." Wan Hai laughed. The smile was old and gloomy. "The third is my good brother. He's leaving. He didn't want to stay. I let him go. I won't let him stay. ”
But he was gone. What he should fulfill, falls on you. Old Man Bai sighed lightly. You killed your brother because of it. For the sake of the third child, kill your younger brother. Is it really worth it? ”
"It's worth it." Wan Hai nodded firmly. The fourth child does not feel sorry either. The third is my brother. It's also his. Die for the third child. He has no regrets. ”
"You are bent on martial arts. You could have been the same as your apprentice. Be an admirable and respectful warrior. But now, for your brother's sake. became a different person. Old Man Bai shook his head.
Wan Hai smiled. said: "Master." I've been following you for so many years. You get me. ”
Old Man Bai also smiled: "Do you understand me? ”
Wan Hai was slightly stunned. His eyes stared at Old Man Bai with complex and solemn eyes. After a long time, he took a deep breath. Nodding his head, "I may understand." ”
"It's good to get it. I don't understand. I'll explain it to you again. Old Man Bai smiled. I hate to explain. I don't want to explain either. If explained, there is a possibility that something will go wrong. ”
"I understand." Wan Hai said. "I'm alive and I can go on. Don't worry, sir. I have been a member of the Bai family all my life, no matter life or death. ”
"Half a lifetime." Old man Bai sighed faintly. His gaze swept solemnly at Wan Hai. "Where can I find such a good minion?"
Wan Hai laughed. No regrets.
……
Creak.
Wan Hai closed the door and slowly retreated.
As soon as he turned around, he saw Bai Wanjun standing at the door waiting for him.
"Miss." Wan Hai nodded slightly.
"Hmm." Bai Wanjun smiled warmly. Said. "Wan Lao. I made a pot of tea, would you be interested in having a drink with me? ”
"It's my pleasure."
Bai Wanjun is a master of making tea. On the one hand, it is due to his temperament, and on the other hand, it is because Bai Twelve can't drink. And he has always longed for a life of drinking and eating meat. So Bai Wanjun tried to make the tea as good as spirits. Cook vegetarian dishes to the taste of meat. It's tough for her. It's also very happy.
Wan Hai took a sip of tea. He sat down and asked, "Miss." What are the commands? ”
"Not really." Bai Wanjun said with a smile. "I just think Wan Lao is a respectable old hero."
When Wan Hai heard this, he shook his head and said, "Miss, you praised it falsely." ”
"Nope." Bai Wanjun said softly. "That's what I think of me. But heroes. It's never been easy. The hero can tell a lie, tell a big lie to satisfy himself. And the hero. But they can only carry shackles. Carrying a big shackle. It makes it difficult for me to breathe. Crushed to roll into the loess. ”
Wan Hai smiled. said, "Miss." Such a thick evaluation. It really doesn't work for me. ”
"I'm just an old slave of the Bai family. I don't have that much confidence to accept this evaluation. ”
"The old minion of the Bai family?" When Bai Wanjun heard this, she laughed softly. "Slave is a derogatory term, but it is also an extremely noble compliment."
"Wan Lao. Are you grandpa's minion, or the Bai family's minion? ”
Hearing this, Wan Hai's fingers holding the teacup tightened. His gaze swept Bai Wanjun in a blur and complexity.
There was not much agitation in my heart. Or so much so -- he just had a slight contradiction. I don't know how long it took. He finally said earnestly, "Miss." Since it's a minion. Of course, the master's minions. is a slave of the Bai family. ”
"Okay." Bai Wanjun smiled. "What a slave of the Bai family!"
