Chapter 44 (Sect Master Zhao)
However, the pain that Huzi imagined did not appear.
Instead, he felt his body loosen - the weight on his legs and the hand that grabbed his clothes suddenly disappeared.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Zhao Xintong propping up from the ground, turning around and walking slowly to the screen, with his back to him, not knowing what he was thinking.
Huzi was a little stunned, stunned for a while, sat up slowly with his hands propped up, peeked at Zhao Xintong a few times, and wanted to speak several times, but he couldn't say anything.
After settling down, Fang suddenly said, "That...... I'm sorry!"
I don't want Zhao Xintong to reply quietly: "Why do you say I'm sorry?"
"What happened on the test field...... Huzi scratched his head, only to feel that his face was burning.
Zhao Xintong did not reply immediately.
After a long time, a calm voice sounded.
"I'm fine, you can go. ”
When Huzi heard this, he was anxious.
"Lie to me! You were crying!"
Zhao Xintong glanced at him and said coldly: "On the test field, there are no eyes for swords and guns, life and death, you and I don't have to be responsible for our actions!"
"I cried just because ......"
A pair of soft white hands clenched the curtains next to the screen.
"Hate my own cowardice!"
Huzi looked at her in a daze, and felt overwhelmed for a while.
There was silence in the room, so faint that you could hear the sizzle of candles burning.
"In the same way, I hate cowardly people. Zhao Xintong turned her head and glanced at Huzi, "You go." ”
Then he turned away and looked at him again.
Huzi stood there in a daze, obviously Zhao Xintong didn't do anything to him, but he felt more uncomfortable than Zhao Xintong beating him hard, his heart was throbbing, and he was unspeakably depressed.
But what can you do, you also apologize, people say they don't hate you anymore, what can you do?
But what is the unwillingness in this heart?
Let's go, what can we do but walk......
As if he had suddenly lost all his strength, Huzi slowly turned around and paced towards the door.
He didn't know what was going on in his head right now, and he didn't want to bother thinking about what he should be thinking about now, he just wanted to go back to the Demon Master Inn as soon as possible, no, back to the house in the mountains and get a good night's sleep. Maybe after a little sleep, all these worries will be forgotten......
Have you forgotten everything?
He stopped suddenly.
"That ......" Huzi pretended to be calm and looked back at Zhao Xintong, who was about to close the door, and looked at her steadily, "Can we still meet?"
The answer was not surprising.
"There's no need for that. ”
The woman's face was expressionless.
“...... I knew it. Huzi smiled bitterly and held his forehead, racking his brains to squeeze out some words.
Unexpectedly, the situation changed abruptly.
"Miss!
Xiao Yuanzi's sharp voice came from nearby, obviously a respectful message, but with a hint of panic.
The two people at the door were shocked!
Zhao Xintong was even more frightened.
Daddy actually came, but it was at this time! If Daddy saw a strange man enter his boudoir on a big night...... Zhao Xintong shuddered suddenly. But there was no place to hide in the open space all around, and the voice of the little circle was so close that it must have been too late for the boy to go far because his father was about to arrive......
Gritting his teeth, Zhao Xintong grabbed the placket of Huzi's clothes and shouted in a low voice: "Come in!"
Regardless of Huzi's struggle, he dragged him around the room for a while, thought about pushing him into the closet, and then kicked the cabinet door.
"Hide in the closet for me!"
"Wooh!" Before the poor tiger could fully understand what was happening, he was stuffed into a cramped space with a black rumbling, and hit his head against the wall of the cabinet, and snorted in pain.
Zhao Xintong didn't care about what happened to him, and wanted to lock the door of the cabinet, but the sound of heavy footsteps was already approaching outside the door, so he had to make a slight adjustment, Lianbu shook slightly, walked to the door, and couldn't help but be blessed like the wind, and said softly:
"Daddy, you're here. ”
Daddy! Huzi was startled, and hurriedly peeked through the crack between the cabinet doors.
With Zhao Xintong's greeting, a burly middle-aged man slowly walked in from outside.
I saw that he was eight feet long, with a beard on his face, and under his silver-rimmed robe, he had a strong body like a tiger and wolf. The tiger walks in the wind, walks with his hands in his hands, and the middle-aged man is all over his body, reflecting the majesty of the superior everywhere.
The middle-aged man looked at Zhao Xintong and said "um", his expression softened slightly.
This is Zhao Xintong's father...... Huzi's eyes widened.
Daddy......
Sect Master Zhao walked in, roughly swept the furnishings of the house, and then looked at his daughter's state, which didn't seem to be abnormal, his heart gradually calmed down, he groaned, and spoke: "Xiaotong, how did you complete your homework today?"
Zhao Xintong seemed to be prepared, picked up a pair of embroidery on the dresser, smiled gently, and was a little shy: "Daddy...... I embroidered peonies. ”
Shy?
Huzi's eyes were about to pop out.
This Zhao Xintong, shy?
"Hmm......" Sect Master Zhao took it, looked at it carefully, and nodded, "The embroidery is very good, it can be compared to the embroidery produced by Xiufangzhai." ”
Xiao Yuanzi also said happily when she heard this: "Miss is really getting more and more virtuous!"
Zhao Xintong curled the corners of her mouth slightly, and seemed to be happier, but she still looked weak, and lowered her eyes: "Thank you Daddy for your appreciation." ”
As he spoke, he got out of the way, revealing the desk behind him, pointed to a pair of writing on the table, and said to his father, "Daddy, this is the little girl's homework today." ”
Sect Master Zhao glanced at it and nodded lightly: "Well, it's well written." ”
When he raised his eyes, he saw the guqin in the room and said, "Let's play a piece of pear blossom fragrance next." ”
Zhao Xintong naturally refused: "Yes, Daddy." ”
After that, he walked to the round bench behind the guqin and sat down, lowered his eyebrows, and danced his fingers on the strings.
As the music sounded, Sect Master Zhao was still in trouble, but Huzi was already intoxicated by this beautiful music. I feel that the sound of this piano is like a gurgling stream, and like a mountain spring, surrounded by it, the whole person seems to have returned to nature, in the landscape, the tip of the nose is faintly fragrant, it should be a pear blossom......
Fragrant?
What aroma ...... Huzi realized that he really smelled something, and looked left and right, but he couldn't see clearly because of the dim light. As soon as I looked down, I suddenly felt something slip off the top of my head, and when I took it closer, it was a red thing like a handkerchief, but it was larger than a handkerchief, and the corners were also rounded.
"What is this...... Huzi pondered, his nose leaned closer and sniffed, "It's so fragrant......"
Loud applause interrupted Huzi's thoughts.
"Well, I played well," Sect Master Zhao applauded, very satisfied with his daughter's homework progress.
Looking at his well-behaved daughter, Sect Master Zhao's heart was quite emotional.
It's time to set a family affair for your daughter.
He said to Zhao Xintong earnestly: "Xiaotong...... Always remember that girls must not only follow the four virtues, but also be knowledgeable and reasonable, so that they can be respected in their husband's family......"
There was a lot of nagging before and after, Zhao Xintong listened respectfully on his face, and when he finally finished speaking, he replied respectfully: "Remember Daddy's teachings." ”
But if you look closely, you'll see that her smile is a bit forced.
"Alright, it's night, you should rest early. Sect Master Zhao walked out of the door with his hands in his hands.
"Sir, please. Xiao Yuanzi cleverly led the way ahead, while secretly winking at Zhao Xintong.
Zhao Xintong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and happily blessed her father's back: "Daddy, please rest early." ”
I finally passed the test today...... Zhao Xintong smiled slightly, it really scared me to death, my father couldn't come sooner or later, so I chose to come over at this time. If discovered...... Fortunately, it was just a routine homework check today, and fortunately, the kid didn't poke out any baskets, which is good......
However, Zhao Xintong's smile suddenly froze on her lips.
Because she found that Sect Master Zhao suddenly stopped.
Sect Master Zhao stopped because he saw a book.
A book is not a big deal, Zhao Xintong has studied various scriptures and texts since she was a child, and there are hundreds of books on the shelves alone, and it is not surprising that one book is not surprising.
But the book, leaning out of a neatly erected row of books, is a bit abrupt.
Zhao Xintong followed Sect Master Zhao's gaze - her eyes widened!
That book is......
"Daddy, that ......"
Also, girls should also pay attention to daily tidiness and put books away. ”
Sect Master Zhao said in a deep voice, stepped over, and took the book with his hand, which was about to be sent in. But when I touched it, I felt that the feel was quite familiar, so I simply pulled it out to see what book made my daughter nervous like this. Could it be ......
Sect Master Zhao looked at the few big characters on the cover, and felt that he was a blow to the head.
Looking at the contents in disbelief, his face became a little darker, and in the end, his face was full of anger.
He clutched the book in his hand fiercely, and was furious at Zhao Xintong: "Why is the ancestral gun spectrum here for you!"
Zhao Xintong looked at her angry father blankly, only to feel chills all over her body, and her whole body trembled: "Daddy, this ......"
Sect Master Zhao interrupted her: "Have you stolen the gun spectrum?"
Zhao Xintong was so nervous that she couldn't speak.
Sect Master Zhao sank his face.
"Xiaotong, do you know what the third article of the ancestral training is!"
Zhao Xintong's face changed, and she gritted her teeth and replied, "I know...... Know. ”
"The Zhao family's gun pedigree is an ancestral mastery, only men and women, and ...... inside and not outside"
Speaking of this, Sect Master Zhao's voice seemed to tremble a little.
"Violators should gouge out their eyes, break their hands and tendons, and expel them from the house!"
These words are tantamount to a thunderclap in Zhao Xintong's heart!
"I ...... I ......"
Under extreme fright, Zhao Xintong only felt that her heart was beating like a drum, her eardrums were roaring, and her mind was blank.
Self-digging binocular ...... Tesuji and tendons...... Eviction from home......
Eviction from home......
In a trance, there seemed to be a distant voice.
"Miss, she ......."
Who is crying and justifying himself?
"Xiaoyuanzi, don't interject!"
Her father's rebuke was like a gun that pierced her heart inch by inch.
"Xiaotong, tell me, you didn't steal the gun spectrum!"
"My Zhao family has always dared to act boldly, say quickly, did you steal it!"
"Have you forgotten how your father taught you to be a human being!"
...... Yes, I'm from the Zhao family.
The Zhao family is naturally daring.
But my heart is still so blocked, and my eyes are so uncomfortable, as if something warm has fallen out of it......
Stealing a gun spectrum...... Daddy is asking me......
"Yes......"
Zhao Xintong closed her eyes in despair.
I......
"I stole it!"
A man's voice suddenly exploded loudly in his ears.
Before Zhao Xintong could say the word "I", when she heard this, she raised her head suddenly!
I saw a young man with a red handkerchief on his face standing upright in front of him. His left side of his shirt was torn, revealing half of his arm, and an unhealed wound could be seen on his shoulder.
He looked at Sect Master Zhao with a resolute look in his eyes: "I stole it!"
