Chapter 29: The Wish
On the second day after Mo Yantian left the original village, Xiao Wanlong came to the conference hall early. There is nothing to discuss in the villages today, and he has come here for the sake of his daughter.
It didn't take long for Lakshin to walk into the conference hall with Xiao Xiao. Xiao Wanlong stood in the center of the hall with his hands behind his back, and he looked at his pouting daughter and felt really unhappy.
"Why are you still mad at me?"
"Dad, tell me, what happened to Big Brother Mo?" Xiao Xiao asked.
"Chop!" Xiao Wanlong replied dryly.
"What the hell are you weishenme?" Xiao Xiao was so angry that she couldn't finish her words.
βweishenmeοΌ It's not for you yet. I'm afraid this outsider will kidnap you. β
"Impossible! Brother Mo is a good person! Xiao Xiao retorted.
"Okay guys? Look at how you've learned to talk back to your dad since he came! I'm annoyed to see this kind of person once, and if I don't kill him, I'll be angry to death! As soon as Xiao Wanlong didn't get angry, he thought that he would retract his heart by sending Mo Yantian away, but he didn't expect that Xiao Xiao still hadn't figured it out in the past few days.
Xiao Wanlong had no choice, sighed and continued: "Girl, do you think I don't know what you think? But do you really know what this shijie looks like? You've been living in this original village for as long as you can remember, and the outside shijie is too strange and dangerous for you. Dad is only doing this to protect you, can't you even figure it out? β
"Dad, I know your thoughts, but because of this, you can't kill an innocent person? Besides, it was his daughter who rescued him, and killing him now doesn't it trap her daughter in injustice? Didn't you teach your daughter that everything is right? Why did you forget it now? β
Xiao Wanlong looked at his daughter with half-squinted eyes, in his opinion, Xiao Xiao was an ignorant little girl, but today she actually talked to herself about the truth because of this matter, he couldn't help but feel a little touched in his heart, could it be that his daughter has already had her own ideas when she is older? Aren't you a little too stereotypical? But when he thought about it, didn't he live all these years for Xiao Xiao? Thinking of this, Xiao Wanlong's tone suddenly became extremely serious, and he raised his voice and said, "Don't get involved in the affairs of adults!" Anyway, killing is killing, I can't bring him back to life, you're going to die! Lakshin, bring her back again, lock her up for a few more days, and I won't believe that she won't come! β
The tall Lakshen glanced at Xiao Xiao and then at the leader Xiao Wanlong, and a look of embarrassment appeared in his eyes. Xiao Wanlong shouted loudly when he saw that he didn't move: "Are you deaf? Don't take it away yet! β
Lakshen had no choice but to drag Xiao Xiao out of the chamber.
The next day, Xiaoyu and Xiaolu came to Xiao Xiao's boudoir early, and they saw that Lakshen, who had not closed his eyes all night, was still standing in front of Xiao Xiao's door, guarding this place like an iron tower.
"Second brother, how is Xiao Xiao?" Xiaoyu asked.
Rakshen's face was a little ugly, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, as if he wanted to speak and stopped, and after a pause of a few seconds, he slowly replied: "I still don't eat, and I have been locking myself inside." β
"Then what did Xiao Xiao say?" Xiaoyu asked again.
"I didn't say anything, I just kept crying inside, I couldn't help it." Laksin replied helplessly. He really can't do it, as a young man with Genghis Khan's blood in his veins, he is a natural man of action. In other words, he is not good at persuading others, so he can only stay silently and quietly to the side.
"Can you let us both in and have a look?" Xiaoyu asked half-pleadingly.
"This leader said that she would not be allowed to see outsiders for the past few days, which made it difficult for me."
Xiaoyu saw that Lakshen was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "We are not outsiders either?" Aren't we all Xiao Xiao's good friends? Now that Xiao Xiao is crying like this, she doesn't eat or eat, isn't it distressing to you, second brother? I don't think the leader himself wants to see Xiao Xiao do this. β
"Then do you have a way to persuade Xiao Xiao?" Lakshin asked.
"Well, we're girls after all! I think it's better than what you said, second brother, right? β
Lakshin touched the back of his head and smiled, "It's true that I'm stupid." If you can really persuade her, then you two can go in and try it, but you must not drink what others say. β
The two girls nodded earnestly, and when Lakshen saw that there was no one else, he took out the key and opened the door. Xiaoyu Xiaolu walked straight in. Lakshin glanced around the door again to make sure that no one was there, and then quickly closed the door, while he continued to play the role of gatekeeper.
At this time, Xiao Xiao was sitting alone on the edge of the bed, staring directly at the vase on the table not far away, with two azaleas in the vase, I don't know if it was the hot weather or some other reason, the two flowers were close to withering.
Xiaoyu and Xiaolu walked to the side of the bed, looking at Xiao Xiao, who was almost stupid, and suddenly felt a trace of sadness in their hearts. Xiao Lu pulled Xiao Yu's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Sister, Sister Xiao won't be sick, right?" Xiaoyu didn't speak, she was more mature than her sister, and she knew in her heart that Xiao Xiao was indeed sick, but it was a heart disease. At this time, heart disease must be treated with medicine, otherwise the symptoms will not be cured. Thinking of this, Xiaoyu asked, "Sister is so interested, I don't know what good things I'm watching." β
Xiao Xiao didn't move her eyes, she still looked straight ahead, and said with a question: "The azalea is so beautiful!" It's a pity that it will wither after being locked in the house for a long time. If it is moistened by sunshine and rain, it must bloom beautifully. β
Xiaoyu already understood the meaning of Xiao Xiao's words when she heard this, and hurriedly responded: "Although this is the case, people have no good flowers for a thousand days!" Since you are happy now, don't force the future, who knows what the future holds? β
"What you say makes sense, but even now I don't feel happy. Birds lose the ability to fly if they are kept in a cage for a long time, not because of the degradation of their wings, but because they lose their ambition to soar. If I'm always locked up here, I'm afraid it's the same, right? Xiao Xiao said sadly.
Xiaoyu sat down next to Xiao Xiao and put her hand on hers, saying, "Is it because of that stranger?" β
Xiao Xiao glanced up at Xiaoyu and said, "What's the use?" My dad killed him. β
"Your father didn't kill him, he sent him away."
"What do you say? Are you sure? Xiao Xiao suddenly regained the light in her eyes when she heard this, and hurriedly wanted to confirm the news.
"Well, it's true, I grinded the chief's closest guard for a long time before he said it. He left us yesterday. Xiaoyu replied.
"Do you know where he went?"
"I don't know, but it looks like we're heading west." Rain said.
Xiao Xiao was silent for a while when she heard this, and slowly lowered her voice and said, "Xiaoyu, I want to ask you to do me a favor, okay?" β
Xiaoyu looked at Xiao Xiao, and she said in a very cautious tone: "I know what you want me to do, but I want to know what you are doing this for?" β
"For freedom!" "Is it worth it?"
"Of course."
Xiaoyu withdrew her hand and bowed her head silently. It took a while for her to answer, "I already knew your wishes. Ever since we were very young, you wanted to go outside. But our parents told us that shijie outside was dangerous and not something we could handle. I know I can't dissuade you, but when that Big Brother Mo came to us, you should have been all right, right? But let me ask you, what about your father? Don't forget about his body."
"I know what I'm supposed to do. I also know that my dad didn't let me go out because of me. But it was my wish to leave the original village. I think everyone has their own wishes, and some may be the person's lifelong pursuit. My father's wish was for me to live happily, but his wish was imposed on mine. He didn't understand that I would only be happy if I was asked to try and take risks. My dad is old, and I understand his body. I just want to go out for a walk and it's not like I'll never come, I'll go back to where I was born and raised, but now I'm leaving, and I want you to take care of my dad for me in these days. After my mother left, he was always pretending to be himself, he lived a physically and mentally exhausted life every day, I know, I should really take good care of him, really" Speaking of this, Xiao Xiao couldn't cry anymore.
Xiaoyu and Xiaolu hurriedly stepped forward to hug their good sister, and the three of them cried together. After crying, Xiaoyu wiped the tears on her face and said, "Xiao Xiao, don't worry, I promise you to take care of your father, and we will help you realize your wish!" β
