Chapter VIII: Lakshin's Decision
The applause that erupted in the crowd really startled Xiao Xiao. She didn't expect that people would support such a "big rebellion" behavior. This unexpected situation made her unable to say a word, and she could only nod her head with tears in her eyes.
Xiao Xiao wasn't the only one stunned. The reaction of the guests also made Xiao Wanlong, who was already angry, even more annoyed. He drew his sword from his belt, walked to the middle of the crowd in three steps and two steps, and shouted, "It's too presumptuous! Stop! ”
His interruption did have the desired effect, and the crowd that was still applauding just now suddenly fell silent. Xiao Wanlong glanced around with his sword, and continued to say loudly: "This is my family matter, you don't need to participate, now let me retreat!" ”
As soon as people heard Da Shuai say this, they all looked at me, I looked at you, but no one moved half a step.
"Are you deaf? Don't give me back yet! Xiao Wanlong shouted again.
Still no one left.
Xiao Wanlong suddenly felt that he was in a predicament. He looked around with his sword in his hand to find someone who was following his orders, but his eyes turned in a big circle, and no one moved.
Just when he was extremely embarrassed, a person came out of the crowd. I saw that this man was wearing armor made of iron, which was extremely exquisite. The shoulder pads, wrists, and waist armor are trimmed with gold, and the breastplate is carved with a tiger. The tiger came to life, as if it were about to leap out of his chest.
Look at this man's face again, but it is not as delicate as the armor he wears. He had a deep scar on his left cheek and a wound to his right eye, which was covered with an eyepatch that was also gilded.
This person Xiao Wanlong is very familiar. He is the village chief of Hukou Village under the mountain. This person's real surname is Zhang, and he turned out to be a nobleman in their clan. The armor he wears is a relic handed down by his ancestors, called the Beastmaster Homing Armor. It is a treasure that is said to be invulnerable to fire and water by those who wear it. Because of this. He always wore this armor on the most solemn occasions as a sign of respect for others. Later, the Republic began a massacre, and he escaped with Xiao Wanlong and brought the remnants of his clan to the original village. His scars and blind eyes were left behind when he was on the run. Because of this, people began to call him one-eyed Zhang gradually.
Although One-Eyed Zhang was born in the aristocracy, he did not have the shelf of the aristocracy. When he came to the original village, he began to help Xiao Wanlong rebuild his home. In those difficult years, he always rushed to the front and always took the lead, so he won the respect of a group of people. He has also become the most respected person in the village except Xiao Wanlong.
The one-eyed Zhang slowly walked up to Xiao Wanlong, hugged his fists, and said, "Don't be angry, Dashuai, I think this matter is over!" ”
Xiao Wanlong thought that this one-eyed man would speak to him, but unexpectedly, this guy would pop out like this. However, Xiao Wanlong did not continue to get angry. Instead, he put on a very puzzled look and asked: "One-eyed Zhang, today is my daughter's big day, what do you mean by saying such a sentence?" ”
One-eyed Zhang glanced at Xiao Wanlong with his only remaining left eye, and replied unhurriedly: "Dashuai, you have always done things to convince people with reason, and pay equal attention to grace and power. Can't you see what happened today? ”
"How?" Xiao Wanlong continued to ask.
One-eyed Zhang smiled and said, "Dashuai." Today, let me put aside this rule and identity for a while, and let us two brothers say a little confidant. Xiao Xiao, this girl was raised by you and me. What kind of temper she is, I think you and I know it. This child has been very assertive since he was a child. Never wanted to be tied down by others. You forced her to marry Lakshin today. She wouldn't agree to die. If this kills someone, I don't think it will end well! ”
Xiao Wanlong was a little hesitant when he heard him say this, but he didn't want to admit defeat, so he shook his head and said: "Lao Zhang, you say that it does make sense, but after all, I am her father, can't I have a little power as a father?" ”
"But you are not only her father, but also the owner of the whole village. Now you are the commander of this army again, you have to think about all of them! In two days there will be a battle, and if there is a death in the stockade, what do you think will happen to the morale of the soldiers? You can't even understand your own daughter. How can you really understand a soldier, you say? And how can it lead us to victory? Think about it, brother! One-eyed said from the bottom of his heart.
Xiao Wanlong pondered for a moment and let out a long sigh: "Could it be that this is a test given to me by God?" Well, just follow this girl's temperament! With that, he withdrew his sword from its scabbard and walked away.
There was another round of applause from the crowd. Xiao Xiao looked at Xiao Wanlong's distant figure, and as soon as his right hand was loosened, the scissors fell to the ground. She fell to her knees and shouted hoarsely, "Daddy, I'm sorry for you!" ”
Xiao Wanlong, who had already walked far away, seemed to hear this, and his body trembled, but he didn't stop, and he still resolutely left here.
One-eyed Zhang wanted to walk over to comfort Xiao Xiao, but he thought about it and didn't go over in the end. He felt that he had said a little too much today, so he also left behind Xiao Wanlong.
When the guests saw that One-Eyed Zhang had left without saying anything, they began to talk about it. But this is only for discussion, and soon these people are also gone one after another. Xiao Xiao, who had been crying for a long time, finally left the Shuai Mansion with the support of Xiaoyu and Xiaolu.
This farce seems to end like this, but is it really the end of it? No, because there is one person who hasn't left here yet, and he is Lakshin. People are just sympathizing with Xiao Xiao's plight, but they have forgotten this Mongolian young man who is not good at communication. Today should have been a good day for him, and it was the day he was looking forward to. Although he had no extravagance in the past, he still chose to accept happiness when it came to him.
He likes Xiao Xiao, he must admit this. He has buried this love for many years, he tries not to think about this love, tries to transform it into family affection, but the facts tell him that he will still try to love her in the face of such an opportunity, that's all.
It's a pity that the falling flowers are intentionally ruthless. Lakshin's love for Xiao Xiao is just unrequited love. This stubborn girl has already fallen in love with someone else in her heart. That person is Mo Yantian. This pained Lakshin. On the one hand, he loved the girl, wanted to see her happy, and was willing to follow her wishes; On the other hand, he was unwilling, he was unwilling to let go like this.
That's against the sky, and Lakshin can't talk about what kind of feeling he feels. Is he his rival? It shouldn't be, this man has never fought with himself, and he has never fought for it, what kind of rival is this! So what is he? Is it a comrade-in-arms? He did fight alongside him, Mo Yitian was indeed a great warrior, and he admired him, but that was the end of it. Rakshen thought about it and found that he didn't really have much in touch with this man named Mo Yantian, and he had no reason to hate him, which was a fact.
So what's next? How do you face Xiao Xiao by yourself? Can it still be like it used to be? Can he still be her second brother? Lakshin began to hesitate. Xiao Xiao won't ignore me anymore, right? He was a little scared, he had never been afraid of anything, but this time he was really afraid. He sat alone on the ground, looking at the lanterns prepared for the wedding; Looking at the word "囍" posted on the door; Looking at the rows of round tables and the food that didn't go cold on them, he didn't know what he was looking at, in fact, he was just in a daze all along.
Is that really it? To sink? I'm Laxin! I'm going to give up on myself like this? Even if Xiao Xiao doesn't pay attention to me anymore, it's her business! But I have another thing that I have to do, and he has been doing it for more than ten years. Yes, he has been doing it silently, and he has been protecting Xiao Xiao's safety. In the future, I will continue to do it, not for anything else, just because I love her!
Laxon stood up from the ground. He decided to do just that. Even if Xiao Xiao doesn't pay attention to herself anymore; Even if others say he's a fool; Even if he sacrificed his life for it, he would do it. This is Lakshin, a different man, a man who only knows how to give. (To be continued......)
