Chapter 72: Euphemism

"I didn't know, I was at home with my children at the time, and I heard an explosion outside, so I wanted to go out and have a look, but there were fires everywhere outside."

Grandma unconsciously fell into that painful memory again, "I wanted to find someone to ask what happened, but everyone was busy running for their lives and ignored me, I was worried that something would happen to the children at home, so I hurried back, but as soon as I went back, I ......"

Grandma's voice was choked and full of remorse, "It's gone...... Nothing left...... I shouldn't have left them at home...... It's all my fault...... My fault ......"

Mu Feng'er was a little overwhelmed, and secretly regretted in her heart, why did she ask so much.

"Let you see the joke."

Grandma wiped her tears and sighed: "It's been ten years, but every time I think about it, it's like it happened, alas......"

Mu Feng'er hurriedly said: "Grandma has passed so many years, don't you think about it, don't you think about it now, don't you have a good life now, Jiang Chen is very diligent and hardworking, he is Xuantang...... The most powerful person among the students. ”

"Yes, I understand this kid Xiaochen, he will definitely have a great future in the future."

When Jiang Chen was mentioned, Grandma's eyes were full of relief.

As she spoke, she smiled embarrassedly, and the folds on her face squeezed out furrows, "Listening to my old woman babbling so much, didn't delay your business, right?" ”

Mu Feng'er waved her hand again and again, "It's okay, it's okay, we're just here to deliver a medicine." ”

Grandma said with concern: "Send medicine? Are there any students who are hurt? ”

Wu Yu said honestly: "It's Jiang Chen who is injured." ”

Mu Feng'er glared at him.

Grandma was shocked, "Xiaochen is injured?" How did he get hurt? Isn't it serious? ”

Wu Yu said honestly: "I was injured." ”

Grandma: "! ”

Mu Feng'er raised her elbow to push him, and hurriedly added: "Grandma, there are no eyes in your fists and feet during the competition, and it is normal to be injured a little, but you don't have to worry, it's just a small injury." ”

Wu Yu scratched his head and said, "Yes, his dantian's injury is not very serious, as long as he eats a recovery pill, he will be fine soon." ”

"And hurt the dantian?!"

Grandma's ears are not very good, and she is worried about Jiang Chen's injury, so she didn't hear the second half of Wu Xi's words.

"I said why didn't he come over to eat, it turned out that he hurt the dantian, how should this be ......good?"

Although Grandma is a woman who does not understand the mysteries, she also understands the importance of dantian to the mysteries.

Mu Feng'er quietly twisted Wu Hao's waist, and explained with a forced smile: "Grandma, you can relax, Wu Hao has refined the pill for him, and he will be fine after eating." ”

Wu Yu asked suspiciously, "Why are you pinching my meat?" ”

"Say less!"

Mu Feng'er was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

"It's all my fault, I've been talking to you for so long, I must have delayed Xiaochen's healing, right? Hurry in. Grandma blamed herself.

Mu Feng'er said: "Grandma, don't worry, let's go and send medicine to Jiang Chen, his injuries will heal soon." ”

"Okay, okay, I'll go and heat up the rest of the meal first, you help me talk to Xiaochen, and remember to come to the kitchen to eat when he recovers."

After saying that, Grandma paced towards the kitchen.

Looking at Grandma's gray hair and staggering back, Mu Feng'er remembered Grandma's past again, and only felt that her nose was sour.

"If I meet a dark creature in the future, I must dismantle it and avenge Grandma."

"Hmm."

Wu Yu nodded, and suddenly felt a pain in his waist, and Mu Feng'er's hand pinched the flesh on his waist again.

"What are you doing...... Pinch my flesh again? ”

"What do you say?!"

"How do I know ......"

Mu Feng'er said angrily: "You idiot, why did you tell Grandma that the injured person was Jiang Chen?" ”

"I'll just tell you the truth......"

"Tell the truth again, I'm so angry, can't you be tactful when you tell the truth?"

Mu Feng'er raised her hand and knocked on the door of his head lightly.

Wu Yu rubbed his head and wondered, "How is it called euphemism?" ”

"For example, if Grandma just asked, 'Are there any students injured?', you can answer 'yes', don't directly say that Jiang Chen was injured, this is called euphemism."

Mu Feng'er crossed her hands on her hips and said.

Wu Yu seems to understand.

"Do you understand?"

Wu Yu hesitated for a moment and asked, "But since it's all the truth, why should you be tactful?" ”

Mu Feng'er patiently explained: "It's right to tell the truth, but you have to take into account the feelings of others when telling the truth." ”

"Let me ask you, if you tell Grandma that Jiang Chen is injured, will Grandma be worried?"

Wu Yu nodded, "Yes." ”

"Let me ask you again, if you only answered 'yes', would Grandma be worried?"

Wu Yu thought for a moment and replied seriously: "Yes." ”

"It's really a defeat for you."

Mu Feng'er covered her forehead, "You didn't say that Jiang Chen was injured, what is there to worry about?" ”

Wu Hao carefully analyzed: "Grandma will worry about how the injured student was injured, and the injury is not serious. ”

"Then which statement do you think will make Grandma more worried?"

Wu Yu thought for a moment and said tentatively: "The first one? ”

Mu Feng'er was very satisfied with his answer.

"That's right, it's also telling the truth, the second euphemism can make Grandma worry less, now you understand, right?"

Wu Yu couldn't help but glance at Mu Feng'er's little hand and nodded vigorously.

"Got it."

"It's good to understand, and you should pay attention to tactfulness when you speak in the future."

Mu Feng'er walked towards the dormitory, "Let's go, hurry up and cure Jiang Chen, don't let the old man wait too long." ”

"Hmm."

The two walked side by side to the dormitory.

The dormitory was quiet, and the students sat on their beds and worked hard to cultivate.

Mu Feng'er nodded with satisfaction, and was about to say a few words of boasting, but her eyes suddenly fell on Jiang Chen, who was shrinking in the corner.

Jiang Chen's expression was gloomy, looking ahead in a daze, indifferent to the arrival of the two.

Wu Yu took out a recovery pill and handed it to him.

Jiang Chen's eyes were blank and he didn't react at all.

Mu Feng'er said: "Jiang Chen, this is the Recovery Pill, which can treat the injuries on your dantian. ”

Still no response.

Seeing that his breath was even, Wu Hao couldn't help but be a little puzzled: "What's wrong with him?" ”

Mu Feng'er lowered her voice and said, "It may be that the blow is too big." ”

Wu Yu was puzzled: "Isn't it just a loss of a competition?" As for this? ”

"You know what!"

If it weren't for what Grandma just said, Mu Feng'er might have felt nothing.

But after knowing Jiang Chen's past, she can somewhat understand Jiang Chen's depression.

Years of unremitting diligent cultivation and hard work, and bloody battles with all kinds of mysterious beasts every day, allowed Jiang Chen to have today's cultivation and strength without cultivation resources.

However, the strength gained from such a fight was defeated by Wu Hao, who was far weaker than him, and was even injured in the dantian.

This blow not only broke his body, but was undoubtedly a devastating blow to his faith.

"Jiang Chen, don't be discouraged, Wu Hao's move is not his real strength......"

That sword...... It's not even his full strength?!

Jiang Chen's body trembled, and his already gray eyes became even more hollow.
