002 The Aftermath of the Catastrophe
The days of sleep are undoubtedly happy for people who are sad and sad, but Zhong Min still can't help but wake up. Master's death changed her life forever, and her body also had an unusually sharp sense of touch because there were people who wanted to harm her or even want her life anytime and anywhere.
She jumped up from her lying position, and with a "bang", something was pinched to the ground.
A teenager was choked by the five fingers of Zhong Min's right hand, staring and panting with difficulty. He tried desperately with both hands to tear off the five iron-like fingers, but it was in vain to defend the pillars like dragonflies. There were a few pieces of the bowl scattered at his feet, spilling soup all over the floor.
After a while, the boy's face turned purple.
A middle-aged scribe barged in and shouted, "Stop! Zhong Min felt a numbness in his elbow joints, his five fingers couldn't help but loosen, he stumbled to the side of the bed with his strength released, coughed loudly a few times, opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground with red eyes.
The boy clutched his neck and gasped for air. The middle-aged scribe hurriedly came over and said, "Xingpeng, are you okay?" The young man quickly shook his head, gasped, and said, "It's scared to death." "Oops" again: "Dad, she vomited blood again." The middle-aged scribe glanced at it and said lightly: "It's not in the way." The soup is spilled, and you reheat the bowl. The boy answered, cleaned up the ground a little, and went out. Zhong Min sat up straight, looking warily at the middle-aged scribe who had stayed. Her head seemed to be stuffed with cotton, and it was numb and swollen in a mess, and it hurt as if it was cracking. However, she couldn't fall, and the person in front of her, although he was only standing, was really dangerous. Perhaps, as long as he moved his fingers, she would die instantly.
However, the middle-aged scribe just said lightly: "My surname is Bai, and this is Zangzhuang, a very inconspicuous small village. The villagers call me Mr. Bai, the one just now is my son Bai Xingpeng, he rescued you back. He deliberately emphasized the word "save" in his mouth, of course Zhong Min knew what he meant, since the young man had no ill will towards her, she naturally would not hurt him.
Bai Xingpeng ran in with a bowl of soup and said loudly: "Dad, the aunt of the Luo family in the east of the village invited you to go, saying that there is something to discuss with you." ”
Mr. Bai was slightly stunned, glanced at Zhong Min and said, "Okay, you have to be careful at home alone." Zhong Min sneered in his heart and turned his face away.
Bai Xingpeng urged his father repeatedly, and watched Mr. Bai go out of the house before he walked back with a bowl and said to Zhong Min: "Don't mind, my father is like this, in fact, his heart is not bad." He reached out and handed the bowl over. Zhong Min looked into his eyes, raised his left hand, and put his fingers on the wall of the bowl.
Suddenly, she turned her wrist and clasped Bai Xingpeng's wrist. Bai Xingpeng couldn't stand her internal force, his face was flushed, but he didn't scream and gritted his teeth, and said, "You...... What are you doing here? ”
Zhong Min grabbed the fallen soup bowl with his right hand, and then let go of his left hand. Fang just gave it a try, she knew that Bai Xingpeng didn't know martial arts at all, so if he had any intentions in his heart, she didn't have to be afraid.
Bai Xingpeng shook his hand and said: "You are really strange, when I found you yesterday, you called me 'Master' vigorously, and then went crazy and asked me to return your master, now-" Seeing Zhong Min's ugly face, he hurriedly jumped away and said, "I don't say it's not enough?" This soup has been hot for a while, so are you going to drink it while it's hot? ”
Zhong Min didn't appreciate it, got up from the side of the bed, walked a few steps and put the bowl on the table, and said, "How did you meet me?" There are no people there for hundreds of miles. Holding his hand on his chest and coughing lightly, he found that his internal injuries were much better, and he couldn't help but look at Bai Xingpeng suspiciously, this kid has no martial arts at all?
So that's just Mr. White? But how powerful was the blow of Dongfang Annihilation before he died, and Mr. Bai had the ability to heal her?
Bai Xingpeng saw that her expression was uncertain, and he didn't know what she was thinking, so he just said: "This is a long time, and you will definitely not understand it for a while." However, I would like to ask: Does the death of the four wicked have anything to do with you? ”
"You actually know the four evildoers?" Zhong Min is half mocking and half skeptical. Bai Xingpeng couldn't stand her tone, and said angrily: "Can't I know?" Those four wicked people also died my Aunt Xiaoyue, and I swore that I would have to break them into pieces! After a pause, he said, "Did you kill those four wicked people?" ”
Zhong Min recited "Aunt Xiaoyue" a few times, and suddenly said: "It turns out that you are the 'young boy' who is looking for revenge on the four evildoers." "He doesn't look like a special person, I really don't know why the four villains didn't dare to kill him at that time?
Bai Xingpeng was obviously very dissatisfied with the title of "boy", but he didn't say anything more, and said after the bowl: "You still drank the soup, right?" My dad said that your internal injuries are very serious, and you need to take care of them. ”
Zhong Min turned his face away, coughed lightly and said coldly, "I don't need it." "Turn around and walk out.
Bai Xingpeng said loudly: "Are you angry with me?" Even if you don't accept my affection and don't care about my feelings, but your life is your own, what does it have to do with me? Angrily, he slammed the bowl on the ground, and with a "bang", it broke into several pieces, and the soup was spilled.
Zhong Min was shocked and turned around as if frightened. Bai Xingpeng was puffing and his face was red. Zhong Min finally softened and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry. Bai Xingpeng exhaled and said, "You go back to bed and lie down, and I'll pack up another bowl of soup." He talked to himself and ran out. Zhong Min was a little stunned, feeling that he had fallen into an unexpected life.
When Bai Xingpeng came back, he was in high spirits again, he didn't remember the unhappiness just now, and he was even happier when he saw Zhong Min lying on the bed.
The soup is still very fresh fish broth. Bai Xingpeng held the bowl and said proudly: "I did this." When I was a kid, I ate my dad's cooking, and ah, it was terrible. Later, I cooked rice for my father, and the first time, my father was speechless with joy with a broken bowl. I'm not bragging, my craft is more than twice as good as my dad's. As he spoke, he scooped a spoonful of fish soup and brought it to Zhong Min's mouth.
Zhong Min didn't open his mouth, his lips trembled involuntarily, his eyes were covered with a layer of crystal mist, and then he actually slipped into tears.
Bai Xingpeng panicked. Zhong Min wiped away his tears, said "I'm sorry" in disguise, and opened his mouth to drink the soup. Bai Xingpeng asked her, but what should she say? Tell him that she suddenly thought of Master, just like their father and son, and she and Master were so harmonious and warm. If it weren't for the trick of fate, she would still be as happy as he was.
The soup went into my throat, and my body was visibly warmer, and I felt very comfortable. Bai Xingpeng fed her a bowl of soup and said expectantly: "How about it?" Seeing Zhong Min nodding, he laughed happily, revealing a row of white teeth and dark and shining eyes.
Zhong Min's cheeks were red, and his eyes didn't dare to look at him. Bai Xingpeng was suddenly embarrassed, and after leaving a little distance, he said again: "Hey, did you kill the four evildoers?" Zhong Min replied in a low voice, and he said in surprise: "Is it true?" Aunt Xiaoyue said that those four wicked people are very powerful. After speaking, his expression darkened, and his voice lowered.
Zhong Min said: "Did you deliberately go to the four villains to take revenge?" ”
Bai Xingpeng thought she was laughing again, and said embarrassedly: "My father has already scolded me, he said that I don't measure myself - but if I hadn't found you along the bloodstains, you would have been in danger." After a pause, he said, "But you scared me a lot, grabbed me and called me 'Master' and said that I had harmed your master, what happened to your master?" Who are you? ”
Zhong Min was silent, his eyes heating uncontrollably. After a while, he said slowly: "My master has passed away, and I am not a good person. ”
"And what's your name? My name is Bai Xingpeng, my father said that Xingpeng was the name my mother gave me, but in fact, he didn't want me to do much. Still, he called me that, so I think my dad still misses my mother. I just don't know, where is my mother now? Bai Xingpeng let out a long sigh, unable to tell whether he was sad or sad.
Zhong Min said: "My father and mother have died a long time ago, and only my master has taken me." She lowered her head and said almost to herself, "Master always calls me 'Xiao Min', and he makes me feel happier than any child who has a father and mother who loves him." Although he doesn't like to laugh, I know that in this world, there is no one who is really good to me except Master. But the master who really loved her would never return to her, and would no longer stroke her hair and call her "Xiaomin".
Bai Xingpeng looked at her mournful and haggard face, and a natural feeling of pity arose, and blurted out: "I will be good to you too, I swear!" ”
Zhong Min was stunned, turned his head and said disappretently: "I will remember your words." ”
Bai Xingpeng's two sword eyebrows that flew into the temples gathered together, and said for a while: "You don't believe me, do you?" ”
Zhong Min looked at his fickle and boyish face, and slowly spoke: "I don't deserve someone to be so good to me, you will regret it one day." ”
"Why?"
Someone coughed heavily at the door, and Mr. Bai walked in.
Bai Xingpeng hurriedly left from the side of the bed and shouted, "Dad." Zhong Min stared at Mr. Bai, this person is much more powerful than his son, Zhong Min is sure from the bottom of his heart that he has martial arts at this time, as a master to hide the traces of martial arts is not tender, but once his son is involved, Mr. Bai's eyes immediately shine with a stunning light!
Mr. Bai glanced at his son and said, "Xingpeng, where did you see Aunt Luo in the east, and when did Aunt Luo say to let me go?" Bai Xingpeng was obviously caught by his father, and he was embarrassed to pick his head, muttering: "I'll catch a few more fresh fish." With that, he ran away.
Zhong Min looked at his figure as if he was running away, his face couldn't help but smile, and his bloodless lips also showed a rare smile in recent days.
Mr. Bai said, "Girl, I am willing to take you here entirely because my son is kind. He's just an ordinary mountain village boy, such as the 'Four Evildoers' - these are relics that only belong to your life, please don't let him know too much. Although I am only a poor scholar, and I am still a little more proficient in medicine, I can heal you from your internal injuries, but-"
He didn't finish his sentence, but how could Zhong Min not understand the meaning behind the "yet"? At that moment, a desolation arose, she lifted the quilt and walked out of bed, ignoring Mr. Bai's gaze, proudly straightened her spine and walked out of the door. Even if she will be greeted by death, this worldly rejection is like a dark shell that will eventually bury her alive.
