Chapter 7: Slugs

The night was so silent that as soon as Xiaotian finished saying that, he came down from excessive blood loss.

When Ling'er was about to go up to check, her mind was dizzy, and she didn't wake up.

Just after Ruo Ling'er lay down, a hunchbacked figure flashed

Then they laughed, and the three disappeared into the street

In the early morning, a beam of sunlight shone directly on Ruo Xiaotian's face, raised his hand to cover the sun, and then his body shook, and he sat up suddenly, looked around, and stopped at a hunchbacked old man with a dull gaze.

The old man smiled knowingly, "If the injury is healed, go back." ”

Hearing this, Ruo Xiaotian lowered his head, thinking of yesterday's incident, his face was extremely ugly, the corners of his mouth twitched, after a while, he sighed, returned to his previous gentle appearance, looked at his body slightly, moved left and right, and a burst of doubts came to his heart, his eyebrows frowned, and asked, "Grandpa, you saved me?"

The old man raised his eyelids and said lazily, "Your sister has done what she has to do." ”

Ruo Xiaotian got out of bed, knelt in front of the old man with a plop, kowtowed three times, and said with tears in his eyes, "Grandpa, thank you for saving me." ”

The old man closed his eyes and nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Well, thank you, that's good." This is not the place to be, though. Let's go."

Hearing this, Ruo Xiaotian's little face was full of faint hope and suddenly dissipated, and he said in his heart, "Yesterday's injury was very serious, and today except for a little pain in his face, everything else is fine" His eyes involuntarily stared at the old man, and he smiled wryly, "Old man, do you know? I was kicked out of the house, so I can't go back." It's just that his smile surprised the old man. I cried so sadly last night, but now I do

This kid, Chengfu, is very deep.

The old man closed his eyes, snorted softly, nodded slightly, and did not speak.

Ruo Xiaotian frowned, then wiped away the tears on his face, smiled at the old man with a little meaning, and said, "Old man, I know that my injury heals quickly, and it's all your credit, so let me stay here to repay you." The unhappiness I had just remembered was immediately filled with the miraculous picture, and my heart was filled with joy.

The old man glanced at Ruo Xiaotian indifferently, and then shook his head gently.

Ruo Xiaotian said softly again, "Old man, please, just let me stay here." ”

The old man was silent for a moment, closed his eyes, and did not speak.

'Hiss' gasped, Ruoxiao weather was a little foggy, this stubborn old man, he begged him several times, he ignored himself, Ruo Xiaotian, who has always been gentle, was also a little angry at this time, and he said that, but this old man, just nodded or shook his head, and did not spit out a word.

His heart moved, and a trace of imperceptible playfulness flashed in his eyes, and then, affectionately, he called out, "Lovely old man, you can take me in." ”

When the old man heard this, he didn't say anything, and shook his head slowly.

At this moment, Ruo Xiaotian immediately changed his words and said, "Grandpa, don't you take me in?"

At this time, the old man was still shaking his head, completely unaware of this little guy's deception, and when he reflected it, he smiled dumbly and said, "You little guy, there is still a little bit of meaning." Well, when the little guy comes back, you ask him if he will keep you. ”

Ruo Xiaotian's brows stretched, he touched his head with a smile, his eyes glanced at randomly, when he passed by the mirror, he flashed a trace of surprise, and suddenly picked up the mirror and looked at his face, his little body trembled, and the wound on his face was gone, except for a little pain, everything was completely intact.

I couldn't help but start to have a lot of doubts about this old man.

After a morning, Ruo Xiaotian asked the old man next to him with a bitter face, "Old man, you won't be fooling me, right?" Why hasn't that little guy you said arrived yet? I was ready to use all means to flatter the little guy in the old man's mouth, but the former was delayed, and the flattery in my heart also dissipated.

The old man raised his eyelids, glanced at Ruo Xiaotian, and said lazily, "What's the hurry, the little guy won't come back until the evening, you just wait obediently." ”

This sentence made Ruo Xiaotian's little body collapse suddenly, and he looked at the door with a pestle on his face full of anticipation.

In the afternoon, just in a hurry in time, the old man's blacksmith shop occasionally came to a few people to find the old man to strike iron, but after that, he was not satisfied with the work and retreated, to Ruo Xiaotian's strange thing, this afternoon the old man built a weapon completely different from the last time he saw it, like an ordinary blacksmith, with an awl on the fine iron bell bang.

If there is a similar place, it is that when the old man was building, his hunched back was straight in vain, if it wasn't for the axe-shaped hairpin in the old man's head, Ruo Xiaotian would definitely think it was a dream.

When the old man was building, Ruo Xiaotian stood aside, staring at every movement of the old man with extremely serious eyes, even when the old man went to the bedroom, Ruo Xiaotian also visited slightly in the back.

The old man smiled helplessly, ignoring Ruo Xiaotian's actions, just doing his own thing while carefully observing Ruo Xiaotian. Vaguely, I saw an incredible soul power in the eyes of the water spirit.

In fact, the old man felt the power of his soul yesterday morning, and for this reason, he also carefully built that pile of weapons, this matter only he knows in his heart, he wants to accept him as an apprentice, or rather, accept a person with a strong soul as an apprentice, few people on this continent know, understanding and talent are important, but without a strong soul, the first two are in vain even if they are outstanding. However, the matter of building depends on whether the little guy has the talent in this area before making a decision.

Why, only when I build a weapon can I perceive the looming soul power, in order to be sure, I have fought more weapons this afternoon than this month

However, his face did not show the slightest hint of exhaustion, his deep eyes looked at Ruo Xiaotian again, his brows couldn't help frowning, and when he was about to speak, a milky voice sounded outside the door.

"Grandpa Axe Spirit, I'm back," from outside the door, there was a burst of voice, which made Ruo Xiaotian's eyes light up, and he thought that after waiting for a day, he finally arrived.

With a small step, a child about four years old walked in, and Ruo Xiaotian stood up suddenly, his eyes wandering over the body of the child who decided his future fate. However, when the child turned to Ruoxiaotian, Ruoxiaotian's small body couldn't help but shake, and he exclaimed in his heart, "It's so cute." On the small head, there is a fan-shaped long hair, the long hair is slightly tied by the red rope, under the faint eyebrows, a pair of big eyes flickering, immature and smooth pink face, sometimes bulging, sometimes shrinking, the mouth is a little big, but when the corners of the mouth are slightly upturned, the smile warms the heart and lungs, however, the small and delicate nose suddenly inhales, and the snot that has just fallen to the upper mouth is in vain.

Even after seeing several times, the old man's heart couldn't help but move, looking at this innocent child, he beat his chest a little heavily, and spit out two inconsequential words 'demon' in his heart. Then he came to his senses, pulled a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Slug? ”

The child called the slug bent his head slightly, squinted his little eyes, pursed his small mouth, and a sentence that shocked Ruo Xiaotian came out of his mouth, "Dead old man, didn't you ask you not to call me a slug?"

Ruo Xiaotian's body shook slightly, listening to the name between the two people, a kind of doubt came to his heart, slowly frowned, his eyeliner turned from the child to the old man, and then turned back, pouted his lips down, sat aside, looked at the momentum of the two, it seemed that there was a sign of a dry fight, glanced at the child slightly, and thought, "That old man, no." ”

The old man glared at the child coldly, then rolled his eyes, and said with a wry smile, "Little one, look at the child next to you, how about it?" The old man and the child have been together for a long time, and they don't really do it. However, only the old man knows that he can't beat the child, and even if he does, what?

Since in front of a child younger than himself, he said that he was a child, Ruo Xiaotian smiled self-deprecatingly, and thought, this old guy is not in the water in his brain. And the child's subsequent actions made Ruo Xiaotian stunned for a long time.

The child nodded his little head slightly, bent his head to look at Ruo Xiaotian, but at this moment, a kind of maturity and sophistication that was extremely different from that immature little face stared at Ruo Xiaotian's body, from top to bottom, several times.

After a while, Ruo Xiaotian finally couldn't hold back the eyes that were deeply seen through and sat down on the ground. The panic in my heart, the creepy feeling eased a little after a while.

Looking at the frightened Ruo Xiaotian, the child regained his innocent appearance just now, ran to the old man's side, sniffed, and said depressedly, "Grandpa, that person is a waste!"

'Boom' Ruo Xiaotian had just recovered from that terrifying look, but the child's casual words plunged him into endless pain, if the child's eyes just now were a mental attack on Ruo Xiaotian, then this time it was undoubtedly replaced by a spiritual attack. He stood up in a daze, and was about to leave when the child's milky voice sounded again.

"But his soul is so strong. After speaking, the little eyes bent into a crescent moon, and the excitement on his face was not hidden.

Ruo Xiaotian stopped, feeling that he hadn't finished listening, and then suppressed the distractions in his heart and listened.

"Haha, I really didn't see the wrong person, waste? It doesn't matter, it's the soul that matters. The old man looked at Ruo Xiaotian with a flattering look, and after knowing from this child's mouth that the former's soul was strong, the old man finally made up his mind to accept this apprentice.

In vain, I remembered yesterday's scene, how deeply I hurt to say such grief-stricken words. Sighing softly, the old man walked up to Ruo Xiaotian with his back hunched over, and asked proudly, "Do you want to be my apprentice?"
