Chapter 24: A Father's Wish
"Dad..."Xiao Xiao was obviously a little uncomfortable facing the figure in front of her, she subconsciously took a few steps back, and what she wanted to continue to say was forced back.
"Hmph, you still call me Dad? Aren't you going to cut off my father-daughter relationship? It's better to say something right here. Xiao Wanlong said with a dissatisfied face.
"I..." Xiao Xiao was just about to speak, but Mo Yitian, who was unexpected, suddenly stepped forward to block her behind him, he knelt on one knee, clasped his hands into fists, and said, "Dashuai, don't blame Miss Xiao Xiao, she just missed you too much to sneak out." As for what Shicai said, they are just angry words, so please don't take them to heart. ”
"Okay, these days, you are becoming more and more like a person from the original village, but this is my family matter, so you, an outsider, had better not interfere! Now you'd better get back to camp and don't stay here any longer. Xiao Wanlong said with a glare.
Seeing that he was angry, it was inconvenient to say anything. He sighed, stood up silently and prepared to leave, but at this moment, Xiao Xiao suddenly grabbed his sleeve and said, "Brother Mo, don't go!" ”
"But your father..."
"What about my dad? Is it not true that the words between our father and daughter are invisible? Do you have to let you go? Xiao Xiao's words were addressed to Xiao Wanlong.
"Humph! Then you can stay and see what this girl can say. Xiao Wanlong said angrily.
"I've made it clear what I should have said! I want a way of life that belongs to me, not something that has been imposed on me! Xiao Xiao shouted.
"The way you say the way of life is to elope with this kid, right?" Xiao Wanlong pointed to Mo Yantian's nose and asked.
This is embarrassing for Mo Yitian. He suddenly realized that he was really walking now, and it was not going to go. After thinking about it, he had no choice but to stand there and simply think of himself as a wooden man.
Xiao Wanlong glanced at Mo Beitian, who was uncomfortable, and knew that what he said just now was a bit heavy. But he didn't pay much attention to it, because he saw that his daughter's eyes were full of tears that were about to fall. The father lowered his head and stopped talking like Mo Yitian. After a long silence, he slowly turned his gaze to his daughter. There was a hint of sadness in his eyes.
"Girl, do you know how long your mother has been gone?" Xiao Wanlong asked softly.
Xiao Xiao looked at her father and didn't know that he was going to ask this question, but she knew that her mother was her father's sore spot, and he rarely took the initiative to mention her mother. If I had to talk about her, it must be when Daddy wanted to make some kind of determination.
Thinking of this, Xiao Xiao held back her tears and replied, "My mother has been gone for sixteen years. ”
"Oh, is it? Sixteen years... It's like it was yesterday. yes, she gave birth to you and left. With a hint of regret, but also with a hint of hope. She wants me to treat you well and make you live a good life. But what counts as a good day? Daddy is old. A lot of things can't keep up with your thoughts anymore. In my heart, you have always been the little girl who doesn't grow up, holding you in my mouth for fear of melting, holding you in the palm of my hand and afraid of knocking ...... Alas, no matter how careful you are, it may not be useful, after all, you have grown up. With their own ideas. Your shijie may not be able to tolerate me anymore, so you don't need daddy's protection anymore. ”
"Daddy. I..."
Xiao Xiao wanted to say something. But Xiao Wanlong waved his hand to stop her: "Okay, I understand without you saying it." You want your own way of life, don't you? I can give it to you, but I'll have to wait until this war with the Republic is over and I'll let this kid take you away. It's an extraordinary time, and I still need this kid, so he has to follow me for the time being. ”
"Is this true? You really promised me and Brother Mo..."
"Hmm. It's true, I say it's what I say. Xiao Wanlong replied affirmatively.
"So I'm now... What to do? Xiao Xiao asked.
"You? Stay and fight White City with us. Xiao Wanlong said.
Xiao Xiao couldn't believe her ears: "Stay? Would you like me to stay? ”
"Naturally, I have to keep you, do I want you to go back to the original village? That's more dangerous, and I can't let you take that risk. Don't forget, I promised your mother to take care of you. Make you happy. Now, if you have three longs and two shorts, where does this happiness begin? It's safer to stay with me for the time being. But..."
"But what?" Xiao Xiao asked.
"But if you stay in the army, you have to stay with Lakshin and let him take care of you. He has been protecting you since he was a child, and I am more relieved. ”
Xiao Xiao nodded: "Okay, as long as you don't drive me back, it's okay." ”
"Well, so be it. You and the kid go back first, I'm going to check the terrain here. Xiao Wanlong said.
"Looking at the terrain at such a late hour? It's okay tomorrow, and when it's cold, come back with us. Xiao Xiao said with concern.
"No, tonight's moon star is an excellent time to investigate, you don't need to say more, hurry back!" Xiao Wanlong ordered.
"Then Dad, pay attention to your body and go back early." Xiao Xiao lowered her head and said softly.
Xiao Wanlong waved his hand and didn't say anything more.
At this moment, on the outskirts of the capital Seris, a heavily armed army awaits their commander.
Not long after, a dark figure came out of the night, and it was difficult to see his face in a black hood. He walked straight to the front of the group, looked up at the group of monsters with purple glint in their eyes, and said with relief, "We have finally waited for this day. According to reliable information, terrorists who opposed the republic are now heading for the White City. It's time for us to shine! Defeat those terrorists who don't know the height of the sky, and let them and the fools of the Republic see our Liliang! ”
"That's right! Let them die! We're already hungry! We need blood! The soldiers below shouted.
"Very well, then now I need a vanguard to lead you to victory. Who thinks they're up to the task? The man in black asked.
"I'm coming!" A tall figure stepped out of the crowd. When the soldiers next to him saw the giant like a small mountain, they all avoided it and made way for him.
The man in black looked the volunteer guy in front of him up and down. I saw that his face was full of scars, nearly 3 meters tall, and his body was covered with muscles like iron casting.
"What's your name?" The man in black asked.
"Me? I don't have a name, and I can't remember anything since I woke up. The giant replied.
"Oh? Oh well, I'll give you a name. Look at your body like a mythical Titan giant, just call you Titan! The man in black said.
"Titans? hahahaha…… I finally have a name! The giant monster laughed.
The man in black crossed his waist, looked at the titan and said, "You just said you want to be a pioneer?" So what do you have to show me? ”
"Well, ability, okay! Let me show you my strength! Before the words fell, the Titan, who was like a small mountain, suddenly smashed a huge hand to the ground. All I heard was a loud bang, and sand and stones were splashed everywhere. After the dust settled, everyone looked at the ground where the Titan had struck just now, and they were stunned.
