Chapter 021: Original Intent
"Little, Miss......" Shen Sha opened his mouth tremblingly, wanting to cry without tears: That's your father in this body now, even if you think so in your heart, you can't shout it out in public.
Ye Aya raised her voice and repeated as if she was afraid that Ye Yao inside would not hear it: "Ye Yao, you coward!" Immediately, as if he opened the chatterbox, a series of words crackled and poured out: "My brother is gone, followed by my mother is gone, do you think you are the only one who is sad and sad?"
You threw all your responsibilities as the head of the Ye family into the hands of others, and hid here to lick your wounds in the name of retreat and study martial arts, and you have been hiding for eleven years, don't you think you are very infatuated? Are you worthy of the people who are loyal to you, worthy of your grandfather, who has high hopes for you and passed on the responsibility of the head of the family to you, and worthy of the ancestors of the Ye family?
And me, have you ever thought that I was so young at that time, and my temperament was soft, and I would probably not be able to live without you sheltering me. My mother has always blamed herself for not protecting my brother, and she became ill and in a trance, so she asked someone to assassinate her, if I was gone, and when I went underground, my mother asked me why I went, and asked if I had found out the person who assassinated her and her brother to avenge her, how do you let me tell her! ”
After Ye Aya finished roaring, her eyes were slightly red and she stared at the door panel, secretly calming down.
These words, at the beginning, she was acting, but later on, she really had a sense of true feelings, as if the original owner was venting her uneasiness, despair and resentment for many years through her mouth, just hoping to impress Ye Yao.
However, one, two, three...... Moment. The door panels are not moving.
Wouldn't it, it doesn't happen? Ye Aya blinked, gritted her teeth, and made a disappointed look: "That's it, it seems that my father really doesn't care about my life or death, and he has already thought about how to tell my mother a hundred years later, I am self-inflicted." Rest assured, father, if I am really unfortunate enough to die, I will hide from my mother, and I will not let her blame you. As he spoke, he turned around and walked towards the compound with his legs raised, walking very slowly step by step, as if his legs weighed a thousand pounds.
"Aya'er......" Finally, a dry and hoarse voice came from inside the door, and the name was called softly and then silenced again.
Ye Aya's eyes lit up, she turned around sharply, and choked: "Father, you are finally willing to see me, aren't you?" ”
"Aya'er, you come in." After a long time, the voice sounded again, still dry, but obviously better than before.
"Yes, father." Ye Aya responded loudly, tilted her head and motioned for Shensha to wait outside, stepped back to the door of the quiet room in three or two steps, raised her hand to push the door open and walked in.
The quiet room was not large, very dim, very simple, except for a table, a chair, and a stone bed, on which a futon was placed, and a man with a scruffy beard and tangled hair was sitting cross-legged on it. The man's skin was unusually pale from years of not seeing the sun, and his eyes that looked up at her were narrowed from the glare of the bright light that came through the door, his lips were chapped, his sideburns were like snow, and he was skinny.
"Father......" Ye Aya looked at it, there was an inexplicable sourness in the depths of her heart and rushed up, she couldn't help but burst forward with tears in her eyelashes, and when she reacted, she was already kneeling in front of the stone bed, holding Ye Yao's hand with both hands, looking up slightly, her eyes were full of strong admiration, as if Ye Yao was really her long-lost biological father.
"Aya'er, you're already that old." Ye Yao raised a hand and stroked her cheek, and her lowered eyebrows were both relieved and guilty.
Ye Aya was in a trance, and put her head on Ye Yao's lap in her current posture: "Father, what I said outside just now ......"
"You're right, it's the Father's mistake." Ye Yao interrupted her, her thin fingers gently stroking her sideburns, "Aya'er, if your mother sees you now, she will be very happy. ”
Ye Aya was silent, only to feel that the fingertips were scraping on her heart one by one, and the already overflowing sour emotions became more and more uncontrollable.
Is it strange that she craves affection to such an extent? She was an orphan in her last life, and her memory before the age of ten was completely blank, she only remembered that she was in a killer concentration camp when she opened her eyes, and she faced cruel training and bright red blood every day. Or could the memory of the original owner have such a big impact on her?
"Aya'er, what are you thinking, why don't you speak?" Ye Yao hadn't heard Ye Aya's echo for a long time, and when she looked at it, she saw that the look on her face kept changing, and finally frowned tightly, and couldn't help pushing her shoulder, and asked gently.
"It's nothing ......" Ye Aya shook her head and sat up, seeing Ye Yao's dry and gray hair at a glance, she felt sad again, "Father abuses himself like this, and my mother must be very distressed." ”
"Not anymore." Ye Yao struggled to pull the corners of his mouth that had not made an expression for many years, revealing a very shallow smile, and there was some ridicule in his eyes, "Eleven years of a big dream, until today I was finally scolded and woken up by my father's beloved little girl, and I promise my father that I must cheer up as soon as possible, but I don't know if the little girl who is my father still needs to shelter her from the wind and rain for her father." ”
Ye Aya bent her eyes and smiled from the bottom of her heart: "Of course, when the time comes, my father will not dislike me and cause trouble." ”
"No, the little girl who is my father is so sensible, how can she get into trouble, even if she really conflicts with others, it must be that others are not good." The smile on Ye Yao's lips widened a little, and he stretched out his finger to point at Ye Yao's nose, and the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were full of doting.
Ye Aya wrinkled her nose, fell back on her stomach again, squinted her eyes leisurely, and felt indescribably warm in her heart. Since I really couldn't figure out where that emotion came from, I simply accepted it all, which is not a bad thing after all.
Ye Yao didn't speak again, it wasn't that he didn't have anything to say, in his heart, he really wanted to ask Ye Aya how she had been in the past eleven years, and whether Ye Qian had taken good care of her, but when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly felt that it was better to sit quietly like this and enjoy this moment.
Time flowed slowly, Shen Sha looked up at the sun that was about to rise to mid-heaven, turned back to the compound, and after a while, he came back with a food box, bypassed the man who was erected by the door like a wood, and carefully knocked on the hidden door: "Miss, it's noon, I'll go to the front to get some food, can you eat some with the head of the family?" ”
"Well, come in." Ye Aya responded.
Sinking Sand stepped in, and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Ye Yao's appearance, and then walked quickly to the table and laid out the food and chopsticks in the food box one by one.
Ye Yao was helped by Ye Aya to walk to the table and sit down, his eyes locked on the sand and looked up and down: "Are you ...... Grit? ”
"Yes, my lord, I am Sinking Sand." Grit nodded.
"You're so old too, I remember you were two months younger than Aya'er, and when you were sent to Aya'er, you were thin and small, not as tall as a table." Ye Yao sighed, and then asked, "What about Jun Ci, Qiu Xin and Wei Ming?" ”
Shen Sha's eyes were slightly dark, he glanced at Ye Aya, and saw that she didn't object, so he said, "The three of them are gone." ”
"Gone?" Ye Yao's voice was raised, and his face hidden behind the tangled beard was suddenly condensed, and he didn't need to ask if he wanted to ask.
Jun Ci, Qiu Xin, Wei Ming, and Shen Sha were the four of them, after he found out that his youngest son Ye Hong had been given chronic poison, and his wife personally selected and sent them to Ye Aya's side, all of them were good seedlings with excellent martial arts talents, in order to ensure that the four would never betray Ye Aya, his wife also ruthlessly planted the child Gu in the body of the four people, and the mother Gu was planted on Ye Aya. The four of them are not only Ye Aya's maids, but also Ye Aya's guards.
Now, four to three, what kind of life Ye Aya has lived over the years can be imagined.
"Back then, the eldest brother clearly promised me that he would treat you as his own." Ye Yao clenched his teeth and clenched the bamboo chopsticks so hard that he almost broke them.
Ye Aya was afraid that he would hurt herself, so she hurriedly pulled the bamboo chopsticks away, but before she could take them back, she was grabbed by Ye Yao.
Ye Yao turned his head to look at her, and the remorse on his face could barely be beared: "Aya'er, you have suffered." ”
"It's all gone." Ye Aya patted his hand soothingly, and pointed to the lunch on the table, "Father, let's eat first, otherwise it'll be cold." ”
"Okay, eat." Ye Yao nodded in response, retrieved the chopsticks, took the rice handed by the sand, stuffed a few mouthfuls indiscriminately, and suddenly put the dishes and chopsticks back on the table, took off the lapis lazuli ring on the little finger of his left hand, and solemnly handed it to Ye Aya, "Aya'er, there is a shadow guard independent of the Ye family in my father's hands, this is a token of mobilization, you wear it, if you want to dispatch, go to the shopkeeper of Fenghualou." ”
Ye Aya was overjoyed. In fact, she had already learned about the existence of this shadow guard from the memory of the original owner, and the original purpose of seeing Ye Yao today was to obtain the right to deploy this shadow guard.
Yesterday, she discovered that the Ye family still had a third force that she didn't know about, which made her deeply realize that she didn't have time to slowly cultivate her henchmen, she urgently needed people who could be driven and reliable to do things for her, and these people couldn't be people within the Ye family. The shadow guard in Ye Yao's hand is undoubtedly her best choice at the moment.
Just now......
"Father, aren't you out of the customs?" Ye Aya twisted her eyebrows.
Ye Yao shook his head and explained carefully: "Due to the limitations of my father's state of mind over the years, my cultivation has been stranded in the early stage of the fifth order of Yuanwu and has not advanced an inch, and I am afraid that I will not be able to help you anything when I go out. Aya'er, let me be my father for a while, and when my father comes out, I won't disappoint you. ”
Ye Aya was silent, picked up the lapis lazuli ring and put it on the middle finger of her left hand, raised her hand, and smiled: "Okay, my daughter is waiting for her father to come out." ”
"Good boy." Ye Yao touched Ye Aya's head, and put a piece of chopsticks and meat into Ye Aya's bowl, "Eat it." ”
"Hmm!" Ye Aya bent her eyebrows and ate peacefully.
Shen Sha watched from the side, feeling happy for a while, and melancholy for a while. If the original owner could have this kind of temperament, the scene in front of him should have appeared a long time ago.
