Chapter 20: A Father's Love Is Like a Mountain
It's a pity that the shepherd boy Yu's cultivation is too low, and it is difficult to achieve the anti-heaven effect of being able to look up at the sky and look down at the nine shadows.
Therefore, the shepherd boy Yu ran to the outside of the ancestral witch city with all his might.
With the extremely faint and unstoppable nature of the star, the eyes ignored the infinite inscriptions and formations of the Ancestral Witch City.
Penetrated straight and threw it into the center of the Ancestral Witch City, the core temple of the Ancestral Witch Tribe.
After a moment of searching, Shepherd Boy Yu finally found the shrine maiden hall. The light of his eyes went straight into it, and he saw that Wu Manrou was discussing something with Wu War.
Although Shepherd Boy Yu couldn't hear it, he could infer it by observing the amplitude of the lips of the two people.
"Father, the child is the princess of the Zuwu tribe, and now the Zuwu is in trouble, I should dedicate myself to the Zuwu tribe. Wu Manrou's expression was firm.
"No!" Wu Zhan's face turned pale, and he flatly refused.
"Why?" Wu Manrou looked excited, and tried her best to persuade: "All the elders have agreed, why should the father be stubborn?
"Why?" Wu Zhan was rugged and swollen red, and roared angrily: "Just because you are my daughter, how can a father push you into the fire pit!"
"Father!"
Hearing this, Wu Manrou couldn't help choking.
"Although the Gu clan tried their best to conceal it, how could it be easy to be deceived by being a father? Gu Yuyuan's martial arts fortune was abolished, and now that his cultivation has been lost, how could I agree to this family business?" Wu Zhan's beard stood upside down like a straight tie, and his eyes glared angrily.
"It's a great insult to you not to fulfill the marriage contract on time! Now, the cultivation is in ruins, and you want to marry my daughter, which is simply wishful thinking. Wu Zhan's expression was resolute.
"So what?" Wu Manrou suppressed, so he didn't care, and continued to persuade: "Father, this is just a marriage. Isn't it worth it to get the support of the ancient clan in exchange for the ancestral witch Anran?"
"Alas!"
Wu Zhan looked at Wu Manrou in a daze, and sighed.
The anger was gone, and Wu Zhan's expression was dejected. After a long time, Wu Zhan asked, "Rou'er, do you know why the clansmen regard you as an enemy?"
Hearing this, Wu Manrou's expression tightened. Isn't this exactly what I have always wanted to know, and it is also because of this problem that I was able to meet Shepherd Boy Yu, my little obedient.
"Why?" Wu Manrou asked hurriedly, a pair of beautiful eyes just staring at Wu Zhan.
"It's because my father sent someone to spread rumors!" Wu Zhan gave an answer that Wu Manrou couldn't believe.
"Because my father ......"
The simple words were like a thunderbolt exploding in her head, making Wu Manrou's expression become trance-like.
"Why?" Wu Manrou yelled hysterically at Wu Zhan. She was completely out of control, and she couldn't understand why, she was fighting for her clan, while her father, who loved her the most, spread rumors to slander herself.
"Why? Why? yes, why?"
Wu Zhan kept repeating Wu Manrou's words, as if he was nervous.
After a while, Wu Zhan stared at Wu Manrou, who was out of control, and said slowly: "Why, because you are my daughter." “
Because 'you are my daughter', I don't know what kind of emotion the plain words contain, it is so thick that Wu Manrou can't help but feel a pain in her heart, and a line of tears flowed down.
"I only have one daughter in Wu Zhan, your mother died early, I can't lose you anymore. “
Wu Zhan seemed to fall into the memory and slowly spoke.
"As soon as you were born, you were gifted with a secret art, and I was ecstatic. However, as you grow up, that invincible talent has become the biggest dream of being a father. “
Wu Zhan paused when he said this, his expression was in a trance, as if he had seen a scene that frightened him.
"In every war, you will fight on the front line. After the war, you will be scarred. Once, you were so injured that you were on the verge of being rescued and it took you three years to recover. “
"Endless battles, countless wounds, you win the fear of other tribes for you. However, in the eyes of your father, you are struggling on the line of death, and every time you are injured, your father's heart hurts like a pinprick. “
Wu Zhan's voice was low, slowly telling about the unknown heartache, but the bland narration had an indescribable sadness, which made people feel sad
"Countless nights, my father woke up in a nightmare that you had left me. “
Speaking of this, Wu Zhan's rough face couldn't help but show a look of horror.
"Father's ......"
Wu Manrou couldn't cry anymore and called out in a low voice. She couldn't imagine that her father, who had never known what fear was, would be terrified by a dream.
"Why, son, you are the only daughter of the father!"
Wu Zhan touched Wu Manrou's head and said with emotion.
"In order not to lose you, to prevent you from fighting for the tribe. Therefore the Father has sent men to spread rumors against you, that they may fear you and hate you. As a result, you will die for the tribe and slowly lose faith in fighting for the tribe. “
Wu Zhan continued, then shook his head helplessly, and said, "However, you are stubborn because of your father's miscalculation. I have succeeded in making the tribes fear and loathe you. However, it has not broken your belief in fighting for the Horde!"
Your stubbornness makes you proud and proud of your father, but it is even more worried. “
Wu Zhan's expression is complicated, with a kind of satisfaction of 'there is a woman like this, what more can a husband ask for?', and there is a kind of helplessness that hates iron but not steel.
"Once reputation is ruined, it's hard to get it back. Over the years, you have suffered a lot because of this, and your father has seen it in his eyes and hurt in his heart. However, the Father will not help you to redeem it, because I look forward to the day when you will have enlightenment. "Under the cruel words of Wu Zhan is a deep father's love.
"You have persevered for so many years, and to this day, your stubbornness has made the father completely hopeless. “
Wu Zhan was emotional, like an angry beast, his face was hideous.
"In the beginning, the reason why the father agreed to the marriage. That's because Gu Yuyuan's talent can barely match you, and after you get married, you can also live a stable life, and your father doesn't have to worry about you anymore. “
"But now that Gu Yuyuan's martial arts have been abolished, he can't practice martial arts, how many years does his life last?
Wu Zhan's broad chest couldn't help but rise and fall, and a heavy pant echoed in the room.
There was silence for a while, only Wu Manrou's crying and Wu Zhan's panting.
Her father's heartache and her own years of spiritual torment made Wu Manrou overwhelmed. Is it wrong for a father to worry about his daughter doing this? That's right. Is it wrong to be the princess of the ancestral witch tribe and fight for the clan? That's right.
This is a confused account, and Wu Manrou can't figure it out.
Outside the ancestral witch city, the peak on the west side. Shepherd Boy Yu secretly heard all this, and he also felt a lot of emotion.
"I see!"
At the beginning, Shepherd Boy Yu estimated Wu Manrou, and he already knew that Wu Zhan secretly sent people to slander him. felt unworthy for Wu Manrou, so she paid so much, but she encountered her father's plot.
Therefore, instead of directly helping the Zuwu tribe, he abolished the Gu Yuyuan Martial Arts to delay time.
"People's hearts are unpredictable, and calculations are not omniscient!" said Shepherd Boy Yu with emotion and continued to observe.
"As the head of the ancestral witch tribe as my father, I will support the freedom of the ancestral witch tribe, I don't need to be blessed with your happiness, I will never agree to exchange your lifelong happiness for the safety of the ancestral witch tribe. “
Wu Zhan said it resolutely, loudly, without the slightest room for maneuver.
"Do you want me to watch the Ancestral Witch Tribe fall into ruins?" Wu Manrou asked bitterly.
"If the Zuwu tribe is reduced to relying on women in exchange for peace, then there is no need for the Zuwu tribe to exist. "The witch war is resolute.
"It seems that this marriage cannot be done. “
Seeing this, Shepherd Boy Yu had a bottom in his heart, so he stopped running the pupil technique. The glitter in his eyes faded and returned to normal.
"Tut, the day of weak cultivation!" the shepherd boy Yu wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and sighed.
As soon as he finished sighing, a deep sense of exhaustion hit, and the shepherd boy feathered for a moment, then slipped on his feet, and suddenly fell on all fours.
Shepherd Boy Yu gasped for breath and didn't get up, so he just lay down and rested for a while.
