Chapter 4 If you want to go, then go
"Dad, I'm back!" Nangong put down his schoolbag and shouted.
"Hmm...... Let's play by ourselves!" sat a middle-aged man sitting in the hall, pondering something with a piece of animal skin, and replied without raising his head.
This scene has appeared countless times in the family, and Nangong has long been surprised.
This man is Nangong's father, Nangong Ziliang, thin and loyal, but he supports the whole family independently.
At this time, Nangong's mother came back from watering the flowers and went into the kitchen to get busy.
The sun was setting and dinner was served quickly.
During the meal, Nangong's mother suddenly asked, "Xiaoshu, I seem to have heard you scolding people this afternoon, did something unpleasant happen at school?"
Nangong's full name is Nangong Shu, when he was seven years old, after he came back from the White Tiger Academy, his father personally changed his name for him, hoping that he would study hard.
Nangong was slightly stunned, he didn't want his family to know that he was ridiculed at school, so he shook his head: "No, mother, maybe you heard it wrong." ”
Nangong's mother smiled gently: "I see...... That's right, Xiaoshu has such a good temper, how can he scold people?"
Nangong smiled and didn't speak, and ate silently. Suddenly remembered what the mentor said today, so Ai Ai said, "Today is already a long vacation, I want to go to ......"
"Where do you want to go?" Nangong Ziliang asked with a smile.
Nangong hesitated slightly, and said hesitantly: "Qinglong Academy will enroll students in two months......"
Nangong Ziliang smiled slightly, and immediately added a spoonful of vegetables to his bowl as if nothing happened, and said, "Do you still want to take the Qinglong exam?"
"Hmm...... I am not reconciled......" Nangong replied softly, "I would like to know why my body is like this." Maybe there will be an answer in Qinglong. Nangong replied.
"Actually, isn't it great that you learn well, take over my workshop in the future, stay in the city with peace of mind, be a little rich man, marry a wife and have children, and be a happy ordinary person in peace?"
"The world is so big, I really want to see it," Nangong said firmly.
Father Nangong Ziliang looked at the sunset in the distance, and said slowly: "If, as you said, you are very curious about the wild world, then I can also spend money to hire bodyguards to escort you to various places to travel and see, it is not impossible." ”
"Dad!" Nangong listened silently, and suddenly said: "You know, what I want is not these ......"
Nangong Ziliang looked at his son silently, and after half a sound, he sighed and said, "But...... If you're gone, what will happen to me and your mother?"
"I ...... I ......"
Nangong was speechless, looking at his father, who was thirty years old, but his temples were gradually graying, and he couldn't speak for a long time with his mouth open.
Between father and son, there was a heavy silence for a while.
"What are you doing, you two ......"
In the end, it was the loving mother who broke the silence, she added a dish of vegetables to Nangong, gave Nangong Ziliang a blank look, and said, "Since Xiaoshu wants to go, then let him go, why do you want to go so much?"
Nangong Ziliang picked up the chopsticks: "Then go, there is me in one qiē!"
The sunset light shines through the window, behind him, and leaves a mountain on the ground.
Great love is like a mountain!
If you want to go, then go, a qiē has me!
The words of understatement, the plain promise, but they contain the most sincere and deepest love of Nangong Ziliang.
Nangong looked at his father, feeling guilty and happy in his heart, his eyes were red, and he almost burst into tears.
"Hey, look at you kid...... Good look, why are you crying?" Nangong's mother said lovingly touching Nangong's hair.
"Hehe, no...... It's the sand in the eyes......"
Nangong hurriedly rubbed his eyes and stopped his tears: "Dad, mother, let's eat......"
After the meal, Nangong returned to his room as usual, took out his painting tools, and began to practice his brush. His room was on the second floor, facing south with a door and a small balcony outside.
His favorite thing to do is to sit in his room, facing the door, and paint the world in his mind with a paintbrush.
At this moment, Nangong didn't have the heart to paint at all.
His parents were ordinary people, not cultivators, but for some reason, they just gave birth to such a magician as Nangong. And it's a genius who was born to awaken his powers.
According to common sense, at this time, he should have broken through to the late stage of the first order of the anomaly, but the abnormal power in his body still could not increase by half a point, and even the "abnormal art" that every anomaly was born with has not awakened.
What a qiē can do, what should be done, all have been done, but nothing has been done.
Nangong is not reconciled! He is very unwilling!
He is calm by nature, and he can secretly bury this unwillingness deep in his heart, and he doesn't want his parents to be disappointed.
But...... He will be fifteen years old next year! The Blue Dragon Academy never recruits students who are over the age of fifteen, and if he doesn't try to recruit students this time, he will never have a chance again.
............
Nangong was thinking about this, when a sudden call came from downstairs: "Xiaoshu, Liang Zi is looking for you, come down quickly!"
Nangong put down his paintbrush and peeked out from the balcony, and sure enough, he saw Liang Zi standing next to the flower bed in the courtyard, only showing his head.
It was not yet completely dark, and the afterglow of the setting sun still hung on the horizon, and the light painted on her face, as beautiful as a forest elf. In time, she will become a famous beauty.
Nangong answered, told her to wait, and then ran downstairs in three steps and two steps.
When passing by the living room, the mother was mopping the floor, and said while mopping: "Liang Zi came to look for you, and I don't know what is going on, she didn't listen to the call to come into the house to sit, she had to stand outside, this child is really ...... I still see my aunt......"
Nangong smiled when he heard this, but he didn't speak, so he pushed them out, walked up to Liang Zi, and asked, "Why don't you sit in the house?"
Liang Zi glanced down at his feet and replied, "Aunt is cleaning, so I won't go in, so as not to stain the floor." ”
Nangong noticed that because of the need for practice, her pants were torn off by herself as high as her thighs, but they were replaced with a long white sock, covering her snow-white legs.
That's not the point, the point is ......
Nangong knew that Liang Zi had a slight cleanliness habit and couldn't stand a little dirty, but now, her white stockings were all covered with yellow mud!
But there was not the slightest sense of disgust on her face, faintly, but there was a hint of excitement.
This is very abnormal! In normal times, not to mention this sock, I am afraid that even this dress will be thrown away by her.
Nangong couldn't help but be surprised, and didn't ask her why she didn't go into the room to sit in this detail, and asked, "Is something going on?" ”
Liang Zi didn't answer, and said with bright eyes: "You come with me!"
"Where are you going?"
"You'll know when you come!" she couldn't help but say, pulling Nangong and leaving, her attitude was very resolute.
Nangong couldn't cry or laugh, she couldn't screw her, so she had to say hello to her parents in the house, and followed her out.
Liang Zi pulled Nangong through the straight street, running all the way, looking in this direction, he was actually going to walk out of the city. She even ignored the neighbors who came and went along the way.
Although the two of them have a low realm, one is a first-order magician, and the other is a qi refiner in the middle stage of spiritual possession, but their physical qualities are far beyond ordinary people, and they have been running all the way, and their speed is very fast. In the twilight of the evening, people only felt a flower in front of them, and the two passed in front of their eyes.
It's just that the more Nangong runs, the more strange he feels, and he doesn't know what Liang Zi is going to do out of the city at this time, so he shouted loudly: "Liang Zi, where are we going? It's getting dark, and the city gate is going to be closed!"
"It's good to know, don't run yet!
"But if we go out of the city now, the city gates will be closed in a while, how can we come back?"
"Don't worry about this, don't forget who my mother is!" Liang Zitou didn't answer.
Nangong realized that Liang Zi and her mother were the head of the Longcheng City Defense Regiment, and it really didn't make much difference to her whether the city gate was closed or not.
In desperation, I had to step up my pace and go with her.
