A faint touch of yellow, blurred, covering the whole sky, like the only light in the village at night, the only difference may be the lack of the unique warmth of the oil lamp! The sea breeze blows a little cold, rolling up fine dust and sand, accompanied by the waves, one after another.

Zhang Yue sat on the beach, bare-chested, his sturdy body looked a little weak at this moment, he held his legs, put his little face on his knees, and watched the white waves extinguish on the beach, one after another, soaking the sand, and then evaporating, and there would be new splashes to join, never stopping.

The partners have gone back, leaving him alone, as well as Xiao Lin beside him.

Zhang Yue was still thinking about the departing figures of her partners, turning around, waving, and saying goodbye, everything was so normal. But the expression of lowering his head hid a trace of fear, very faint, Zhang Yue saw it very clearly, and remembered it very clearly.

"Sister Xiaolin, aren't you afraid of me?" Zhang Yue looked at the branch that had been more than half buried by sand, and there was still blood at the tip, and the dead fish was not far from the branch, emitting a foul smell.

"Sister believes in you, you must not learn martial arts to hurt us, but to protect us, right? If that's the case, why should my sister be afraid? Xiao Lin rubbed Zhang Yue's wet hair, her eyes were very bright, Zhang Yue only needed to look at each other, and she could see the tenderness in the depths of her eyes.

Zhang Yue surged with blood for no reason, stood up suddenly, patted her chest hard, and made a thumping sound, "I will definitely protect Sister Xiaolin and ...... with my life."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Yue's lips felt a softness, as well as a faint fragrance, Xiao Lin stopped Zhang Yue's words with his slender fingers, his pretty face was slightly angry, and he said angrily: "What nonsense? My sister is older than you, and it should be my sister who protects you! ”

"But ......"

"But what? That's it! Sister will protect you in the future! Just hide behind your sister! ”

Zhang Yue didn't dare to refute, and called her sister, naturally she was very respectful, so he had to stick out his tongue and reluctantly agreed. In the twilight, two figures, one tall and one short, stood side by side, and one shadow gradually elongated, and after reaching a certain length, it came to an abrupt end, and it was impossible to move forward no matter what.

"It's not early, let's go back!"

"Hmm." Zhang Yue responded obediently, and when she turned around, her eyes casually glanced at the branch, the fear in her heart rose sharply, and her right hand trembled uncontrollably.

Zhang Yue's appetite was not good today, so she hastily ate a bowl of rice and put down the dishes and chopsticks.

Zhang Quan frowned, picked up Zhang Yue's bowl, filled a bowl of rice, and sandwiched a bunch of vegetables, which fell into a small mountain of meat, put it in front of Zhang Yue, and said coldly: "Eat!" ”

Zhang Yue sat uneasily, "I don't have an appetite." ”

"I don't have the strength to take a walk later, but don't cry." Zhang Quan was a little threatening.

Zhang Qin was a little overwhelmed, the child's mood, she could see it at a glance, her heart was soft, and she wanted to take Zhang Yue's dishes and chopsticks away, but who knew that Zhang Quan held down her hand suddenly, and her blue face made her startled.

"Our Zhang family has a family motto, wasting food is taboo. If you have a bad appetite, just say it before cooking, and now that the meal is made, you don't eat it? It's not your turn. Do you think this grain of rice is so easy to grow? Zhang Quan scolded.

Zhang Qin had no choice but to withdraw his hand and hand the child a helpless look.

Zhang Yue had a bitter face, picked up the rice bowl, and ate without a bite, this dinner was the longest meal he had eaten since he grew up.

Even if you're in a bad mood and eat dinner late, the walk won't stop. Zhang Quan took Zhang Yue's hand and walked into the night. Zhang Qin sat in front of the lamp, waiting quietly, as usual, but a little different.

……

Branches and sticks collide in the night.

Chop, stab, hang, pick...... At first glance, it seems that the dead wood branches have unfolded one after another, some are big and some are small, the big one is a sword curtain, scraping Zhang Yue's skin and flesh, the small one is a little sword star, and the blood is splashing in a spiral.

Zhang Yue held the wooden stick in both hands, resisting with difficulty, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he had to focus his gaze on the front of him, so that he could find a trace of trajectory from the ever-changing moves, and slightly resist the stormy attack.

Bang Bang Bang ...... Bang!

The sound of the blow rang out, and suddenly there was a discordant crashing sound from it, and Zhang Yue's wooden stick slanted upward, cutting through a wide fan-shaped stick wind, swinging the slender branch away. Zhang Quan's face was calm, and he let the huge force swing his hand high, at this moment he was in a situation where his remaining strength was not gone, he couldn't move, the main door was wide open, and there were many flaws.

"Good guys, fight back!" Zhang Quan shouted in his heart, he longed to see the thick wooden stick smashed down.

However, Zhang Yue retreated, took a big step back, clasped the wooden stick with both hands, and stood upright in front of him, which was the most standard defensive posture. His eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze focused, observing his father, not letting go of a single subtle movement.

Zhang Quan put down the branch and looked at Zhang Yue coldly, his serious and serious gaze made him very pleased, but at that step, "Why retreat?" It was an opportunity just now. ”

Zhang Yue clenched the wooden stick, I don't know if it was because of fear or overexertion, her hand was trembling slightly, "Dad, didn't you say it?" Learning martial arts is to protect yourself and protect people, not to kill people, even if this is a way to kill! I...... I don't want to kill people, so I'm just going to defend, protect myself, and protect the people around me! ”

"What if you can't beat it?" Zhang Quan held the branch and walked forward slowly, the branch in his hand slanted downward, motionless, still giving people a pinprick pressure. Zhang Yue couldn't help but take another step back, this retreat was cowardice, just one step, but it made all his attention scattered, and he couldn't even hold the wooden stick in his hand steadily, and fell to the ground.

The attack came, without any warning, only the overwhelming black shadow, shrouded in the sky.

Zhang Yue crossed his hands, barely blocking the vital point, and with two snaps, his arms broke two openings, and blood splattered. The pain made him move his hand subconsciously, and by the time he reacted, it was too late. The branch easily picked up the two hands from the middle, the main door was wide open, Zhang Quan would not leave his hand, the branch smashed the yellow dragon, and it rained, red.

This is no longer a fight, but a one-sided abuse.

……

Zhang Quan looked at Zhang Yue, who fell to the ground, covered in blood, threw away the branch suddenly, and sighed, "Alas...... Who wants to have blood on their hands if they can? He picked up Zhang Yue and simply took care of his wounds to make sure that the blood stains would not be contaminated with bacteria.

The night was thick, but the little lights in the village were still on, a shadow was in front of the lamp, waiting quietly, the cool night breeze blew, drifting past the tip of her nose, her face changed, she stood up suddenly, pushed open the door, and looked at the black shadow not far away, "Are you going to beat him to death, are you satisfied?" ”

Zhang Quan said: "I've treated the wound, it's no big deal, go back and give him some medicine, it's fine." ”

"I won't let you go tomorrow night." Zhang Qin took Zhang Yue, she didn't need to look at it, just the smell of blood that lingered on the tip of her nose, she knew that her baby son was injured heavily, "Zhang Quan, I have no objection to you teaching him martial arts, but I hope you can understand that we are not trying to teach him to be a killer." ”

Zhang Quan didn't look back, and walked straight into the warm lights, the night breeze was a little cold for him, "But what he faces in the future may be a killer." ”

"I don't care, ...... tomorrow night"

"Good. It's not early, go to bed. ”

Zhang Qin was stunned in place, she didn't expect that her husband, who had always been stubborn, would agree to her request, and she even thought about losing her temper again and committing more offenses than him. However, now that the goal has been achieved, she doesn't bother to care so much, the child is the most important thing.

Zhang Qin hurriedly walked back to the hut with Zhang Yue in his arms, took out the medical kit from his room, and carefully repaired this small but scarred body by the faint light.

Zhang Yue frowned slightly, his consciousness gradually recovered under the stimulation of the drug, he opened his eyes and saw a gentle side face illuminated by the lights, the familiar outline made him feel at ease, and the child's heart was completely exposed at this moment, "Mom, it hurts ......"

Hearing the cry, Zhang Qin's heart melted suddenly, she held the bandage tremblingly, and for a while she forgot how to bandage the wound, obviously this is what she has done all her life, "It's okay, it's okay, mom is here, Xiao Yueyue is a man, you can't shed tears casually!" ”

"Why?"

Zhang Qin subconsciously said: "Crying will make a sound, it will reveal your location, and let the danger find you......"

"Where is the danger? Clearly...... Everyone is so friendly, Sister Kobayashi even said that she wants to protect me! Why is it dangerous? I don't want to learn martial arts, I don't want to kill people, today I performed martial arts for them, they scared them, they were afraid of me, but I just stabbed a fish to death, what if ...... What if I accidentally killed someone? What will they think of me? Zhang Yue cried, her big eyes were red from crying, and her voice was hoarse.

Zhang Qin was silent for a long time, only caring about bandaging, not knowing how to answer these questions.

At this time, Zhang Quan walked out, his face full of exhaustion, "It's your parents who are sorry for you, the danger is brought by your parents, and now we may be safe, but I don't know how long this kind of life can last." Once the danger comes, your parents will not have the confidence to protect you, and at that time, you must have the ability to protect yourself. All this just in case. Of course, if Dad's worries are unnecessary, that's for the best. ”

Zhang Yue was silent, he still couldn't understand his father's words, because he didn't understand why there was danger, his parents were good people. Good people, why are they in danger? Isn't it often said on the TV in the village that good people have good rewards, and evil cannot prevail over good?
