Chapter 31: Secrets of the Witch Family
"Yes, this is exactly the recommendation post of Qianlong Academy, with these two posts, the Wu family can send two places to Qianlong Academy." Shopkeeper Fu smiled and nodded.
It's so precious!
Old Man Wu hesitated for a while and then pushed the post back: "I can't accept it, the Wu family has nothing of valuable property to exchange, and the Treasure Pavilion has already helped us a lot." ”
"This is for the witch girl." After he asserted directly, he turned around and said 'farewell' and unexpectedly lifted the little shopkeeper Fu Xiao, and walked out like a little chick.
After the faint quarrel of the two old brothers and their figures disappeared, looking at the two recommendation stickers that were left behind, the old man Wu's heart was mixed.
The recommendation stickers that others were looking for were actually two of them, and the Wu family seemed to owe too much favor to the Treasure Pavilion.
He thought for a while, and said to Wu Qiaoyan, "Go and call your fat brother." ”
Wu Qiaoyan was also a little surprised, she thought that the recommendation post that Sikong Fengxuan said would take a long time to send over, where would she have thought that it would be so soon.
But now, the most surprised and surprising is the fat man, he didn't expect that even he could have a recommendation post from Qianlong Academy, happiness came too quickly, he felt unreal, and a fleshy face smiled stupidly.
The fat man asked excitedly, "So, can I also go to the Hidden Dragon Academy?" Oh my God, am I dreaming? ”
"Are you sure you're not just going to be bullied?" The old man's face bluffed, and instantly beat the fluttering fat man back to the cruel reality.
"Then, then, isn't it a pity not to go?" He stared at the dazzling golden recommendation sticker, and his face wrinkled into a bitter melon shape.
"You might as well not let me know! Now let me know, I'm sick to death! The fat man muttered dejectedly.
"Smack——! Is that your attitude? Retreat when something happens? Old Man Wu wrinkled his eyebrows angrily: "Since you are afraid, you don't have to lose the face of the Wu family!" ”
He reprimanded the fat man and reprimanded the fat man in a cold sweat.
But when Old Man Wu turned to Wu Qiaoyan, his attitude was simply a 180-degree turn: "Yan girl, do you really want to go to the Hidden Dragon Academy?" Although you are a lot of interest now, but grandpa is not at ease, what if grandpa misses you? It's not as ...... outside as it is at home."
Balabala's, almost the words of the nagging possession.
Seeing the fat man's heart, I thought about why I and my cousin had vastly different treatments, and in the end, I finally came to a conclusion that there were only two possibilities: First, I picked it up. Second, grandpa picked it up.
But he can only keep it in his heart, if he dares to say it, without the old man coming out, his father Wu Yi, who has a beard, can call him to death with a palm of his hand.
It wasn't until Old Man Wu was sure that Wu Qiaoyan's going to Qianlong Academy could not be changed, he was silent for a while, let out a long sigh, and beckoned to Wu Qiaoyan and Wu Fat: "You come with me." ”
Inside the study.
Old Man Wu took out a scroll from the painting jar and carefully spread it out on the desk, his old eyes full of heaviness.
At the moment when the silk cloth was unfolded, a pair of fairy-like couples appeared on the canvas.
The man's facial features are handsome, heroic, at first glance, he is the dragon and phoenix among the people, and the woman snuggled in her arms, the gentle and graceful temperament jumps between the eyebrows, she has a beautiful face, and she is a great beauty.
Beneath the canvas, a young boy of about three or four years old is whipping a spinning top, with a childish smile on his face.
Wu Qiaoyan's fingers couldn't help but reach out to the boy's face, and after the slender fingers were close together, covering the left side of the boy's face, suddenly, she was startled, as if this was like a miniature version of her.
"He's your brother, your brother." Old Man Wu's voice was full of grief.
"Why haven't I seen him, and my father and mother......" Wu Qiaoyan was shocked by the sadness in the eyes of the old man Wu, and the rest of the words were choked in her throat and couldn't speak.
Since she crossed over here, no one has told her about her parents, and in her original memory, others told her that both of them died of illness.
Now she looks at the loving family of three in the canvas, and she has a desire in her heart, wondering what happened back then, why no one mentioned to her that she still has a sibling brother?
Wu Fatzi was also a little shocked, he only knew that his cousin became an orphan in his early years, and he had always thought that his cousin was ugly and stupid.
But the pair of fairy-like characters in front of him ......
"Grandpa, can you tell me about my parents?" Wu Qiaoyan said with a low expression, thinking that this was the original parents, she didn't care, but there was a trace of attachment and admiration in her heart.
Or maybe this body is what the parents gave in the picture scroll in front of her, this is a fact that can't be changed, and now this flesh and blood body is carrying her life, and the two have long been fused together, not separated from each other.
Old Man Wu looked at Wu Qiaoyan, who was in a low mood, and touched her head distressedly.
His voice was full of pride and deep remembrance.
"Your father and mother are amazing people, they are very good, your father was the top performer in the martial arts department of Qianlong Academy back then, and your mother was from the beast control department, and they all completed the ultimate assessment with the best results."
Wu Qiaoyan and Wu Fatzi glanced at each other in surprise, and asked in unison, "They used to be students of Qianlong Academy?" "Why haven't they heard of it? How does it feel as if the Wu family has a lot of secrets?
"How did they get into trouble?" Wu Qiaoyan couldn't help but ask this question that made her heart heavy.
Yes, she used the word "accident" instead of the word "death".
If anyone tells Wu Qiaoyan now that her biological parents died of illness, she will no longer believe it since she saw this picture.
Old Man Wu's gaze was very distant.
His voice was old and weary.
"The roots of the Wu family were not originally in Snow City, but a wang clan in the Yaori country."
"Huh?" The fat man was stunned.
The old man glared at the startled fat man: "Don't interject." ”
After reprimanding Wu Fatzi, the old man rolled up the scroll with fine movements and handed it to Wu Qiaoyan: "For you, if you go to the Qianlong Academy, it is estimated that you can find the answer there, before your parents had an accident, they went to the Qianlong Academy."
And grandpa hopes you can find your brother, his name is Wu Gu Xi, nickname Pan Mei. Speaking of this nickname, the old man couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
"Your brother's nickname is said to be because he just learned to speak, and he was called his sister in the first word, and when he was older, he would even make trouble asking for his sister every day, so your father and mother gave him such a nickname.
When he disappeared that year, he was with your father, but grandpa didn't know what happened.
About half a year after they traveled, your mother came back alone with a big belly, she was skinny, the whole person was in a trance, washing her face with tears all day long, asking her that she couldn't say anything, until she gave birth to your mood was better.
But on the night of your 100th day, a hundred people in black suddenly fell from the sky, and in the end, your mother protected the Wu family in order to protect you......
In that battle, all the people above the Wu family warriors were killed, and the old diseases on my grandfather's body were left at that time, but we were the only ones left in the lineage, in order to keep the incense, my grandfather had to lead the fragmented Wu family to move out of Yaori Country and move to the remote and barren city of Syracuse to survive. ”
This is a bloody history, the old man Wu opened a thick family tree, which was densely packed with the names of the Wu people to make people feel depressed, those people are no longer there, and now only the withered Wu family remains.
At this time, inside the Treasure Pavilion.
The shopkeeper of the Fu family is arguing with you and me.
But it's basically unnutritious, 'You're over seventy, why haven't you grown up, and if you encounter something, look for your brother, are you embarrassed?' ’
'I'm seventy, I'm eighty, I'm one hundred, and you're my brother.' ’
'You and I rarely be your brother?' ’
Then you go to your father and mother to reason! ’
The '......' bickering was at an impasse because their father and mother had already turned into a cup of white bones.
"Okay, people who are almost two hundred years old add up, and they quarrel as soon as they meet?" Sikong Fengxuan twisted his eyebrows and knocked on the table.
Only then did the two brothers of the Fu family find out that their master had come back at some point.
"Huh——? Master, why are you hurt? The brothers looked at the wound on Sikong Fengxuan's right wrist and looked at each other, this is rare! Can someone hurt the master?
After the shopkeeper Fu was surprised, he suddenly remembered that he should bring medicine to his master, but when he came back, he found that Sikong Fengxuan was just playing with the medicine bottle, and he didn't mean to wipe the medicine.
And after getting closer, he finally saw that the hideous injury was a tooth mark, and this result made the two old shopkeepers stunned.
"The poison on the witch girl's body, do you have eyebrows?" Sikong Fengxuan tore off his sleeve to cover the wound, coughed lightly, reminded his subordinates of the gaffe, and then glanced at them lightly with a warning element.
His question made the two old men's faces tighten, and they lowered their heads one after another, their eyes did not dare to wander wildly, and they answered the question seriously.
"Master, investigate the poison on the witch girl, and find out who the witch family provoked? And the poison on her body is extremely rare, in our opinion, the other party is strong, otherwise it would be impossible to get such a high-quality poison.
And this is obviously brought from the mother's womb, if you want to figure it out, the matter has to be traced back to more than ten years ago, the time is too tight, we still have no clue for a while. ”
Sikong Fengxuan nodded after hearing this, and explained to the two brothers: "You get along well in Syracuse City, I have recently gone on a long trip, you can take care of the Wu family in Syracuse City, as for the mercenary city, I will send someone else to take over." ”
His understatement instantly set off a monstrous wave in the hearts of the two old men.
The two old men of the Fu family, who quarreled as soon as they met, looked at each other, and their eyes showed a look of disgust, one disliked his younger brother and did not grow up, and the other disliked his brother who did not look like an elder brother, this is simply true, if someone else dares to arrange for them to get together, see if they don't kill him!
But this man is the master......
The two had no choice but to give up their hands to Sikong Fengxuan, although they were also curious about why the master could treat the Wu family so differently, but it was the master, and they didn't dare to question it.
How do you know that Sikong Fengxuan's such a random arrangement allowed the Wu family to escape a catastrophe one day in the future, of course, this is a later story.
