Chapter 8: Asking Your Mind (16)
"Poria." Shuran called out the names of his past students in a loving tone. "I know you've had a hard time these two years. The pain you experience is not something that a lonely person like me can empathize with. But you have to understand that your identity and surname do not allow you to be a crazy wife and mother. It's the same pain and torture, unlike when you lick your wounds on the spot, your daughter has moved forward and grown in anger, you know it in your heart, right? ”
Poria looked at Xiu Ran blankly and did not answer.
"So, are you sure it's the right thing to do with her? Are you sure you should stand in her way in the name of protection? I can agree to you taking her, but will she go with you? ”
"Leave her here, Poria. Here she will find those things that she can do, and only she can do, just like you and Long Ran back then. I can assure you of her safety. ”
Poria shook her head: "I know Ah Hunt, so I admit that I can't take her away." I understand you, so I can't trust you. She looked at Shuran with mournful eyes, and said slowly, "I also know myself, and the only person who can suppress that crazy wife and mother in my heart is Akari. If something happens to her, whether it's a sudden illness and death, a fall to death, a poisonous spider bite to death, or a lightning strike, I'll blame everyone on this Golden Crow Island, and I'll let the madman in me kill them all so that my daughter can have someone to keep her company on her way to the Eternal Forest!" ”
"Just imagining it makes me miserable!" After trembling and letting out a sigh of relief, Poria Chong Xiuran bowed slightly: "Talking to the head of the courtyard will always make people feel uneasy, and I don't want to stay for a long time." See you at Advent. After saying that, Lord Tsunade turned around and walked to the door, picked up the whale tooth ripple giant sword leaning against the wall with one hand, and left without hesitation.
Poria's leather boots stepped on the stone slabs of the atrium, and the sound of clattering footsteps disappeared near the spiral staircase. Xiu Ran straightened his waist, the deliberate rickets made him uncomfortable, and he turned his shoulders and neck to relax his body, but his mind was still unrelenting in analyzing and reviewing the meeting just now.
He reflected on Poria's last threatening words, which did not annoy or bother him. Inheriting the family business of the Feng Di family as the second son, Xiu Dye has received a lot of threats in this life, and he himself may have given even more. He pondered whether the other party's emotional ups and downs, such as threats, anger, sadness, and calmness, were consistent with the development of events in the conversation just now. After comparing them one by one, he was relieved, because he had confirmed that Poria's words and actions corresponded to her motives - the overly sad mother did not keep abreast of the changes in her daughter, and did not realize her negligence until she embarked on a dangerous road from which no turning back.
Repair Dye lay down in a rocking chair by the window. Sometimes he worked until the wee hours of the morning and didn't want to walk through the empty atrium back to his cold bedroom, so he took a nap in this chair. He stared at the twelve-headed glass-encased oil lamps hanging from the ceiling, the sunlight shining through the floor-to-ceiling windows that shone like pinpricks.
This is not some long-planned trickery, but just an unexpected event caused by countless karmic coincidences.
His mind was still spinning.
But I have a lot of leeway on how to make the most of this emergency.
The sound of footsteps in the atrium interrupted Xiu Ran's thoughts, and he knew it was Pan Luo as soon as he heard it. His steps, like his own, were slow, muddy, and never ready.
"Uncle?"
When Pan Luo opened the door, Xiu Ran closed his eyes, breathed soothingly, and let out an "um" sound from deep in his throat. If the news is boring, send him away immediately.
"Uncle, the first-class cabin of the Dark Cloud is ready, and I will definitely convey my gratitude to you. He also said that if you need his help with anything in the future, he is willing to ...... for you Going to the soup for you. ”
"Hmm." Executing him so that I would not be swayed by anger and meet with Hikari Poria with a clear head, it would be considered a meal for me. Xiu Dye thought to himself.
"Uncle, you can rest."
Shuran heard the door slam shut, but then it was pushed open with a creak.
"By the way, uncle, there's one more thing I think you might be interested in knowing."
There was no response. He only hoped that Pan Luo would walk away quickly.
"The horseskin on the winged platform has been signed."
"What?" Xiu Dye propped up his upper body.
"yes, too fast, isn't it?"
"What's the name?"
"Ah...... I heard about it in the dining room and don't know the exact name. But I heard that there is only one single name of the little person. A child from a big family would not be sent to death so rashly. ”
"Let's see what that name is!" Xiu Ran had already gotten up from his rocking chair and walked to his desk, where he hurriedly made a few strokes on a piece of paper and handed it to Pan Luo at the door. "If it's the previous name, go to the library immediately to check the information of the students, look for the students who graduated from the latter in the list of old students, and send me the list! Hurry up, don't talk to anyone on the road, do it now! ”
"Cheng Jiao...... "Pan Luo Fengdi reluctantly walked away as he confirmed the two names on the note.
