Chapter 3: The Brave and the Fearless, the Heart of Gold (3)

The first time I met Shan Rou was when I was three years old.

At that time, Shan Rou's entire family moved from another city and was located not far from Han Tuo's home. Shan Rou's parents heard that there was a little boy of about the same age nearby, so they brought their young daughter to visit the door to relieve the loneliness of the little daughter who had just parted with her kindergarten children. Since then, he has embarked on the road of no return to meat buns and dogs.

At that time, Xiao Hantuo, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, stood tall in front of his parents, but Shan Rou hid behind his mother's legs, only showing one eye and looking at him timidly.

"Tuozai, this is the little sister who recently moved in the neighborhood, as a big brother, you have to take good care of her. ”

"Good. ”

It was the first time the boy and the girl met, and the parents met much earlier.

Xiao Hantuo looked at the girl in front of him, and his first feeling was: "It's so small." ”

This is Han Tuo's first impression of Shan Rou, even if the later girl grows up, her body becomes slender and slender, and her personality becomes lively and generous, but in Han Tuo's eyes, she is still the little girl who is easy to be shy and hide behind her mother's legs.

Even after all these years.

Later, after Shan Rou entered the local kindergarten, she was often bullied by the little boys in the class.

There is no special reason, and it is not a problem with Shan Rou's appearance, on the contrary, Shan Rou was born when she was a child, but she already has a beautiful face that has begun to take shape. It's going to be like this, it's all the thinking of the bear child.

Because you like it, you have to play tricks, and because you want to attract attention, you do everything possible to play pranks. It's just that you can't control your body with childish thinking, and you can't be honest with your feelings.

But the young Shan Rou couldn't understand it, so she was always afraid because of the bullying.

The person who lent a helping hand to this was Han Tuo when he was a child.

It's not necessarily that it's not apprehensive, but since I was a child, I heard from my parents and adults in the neighborhood that they were talking about their own voices. "When a boy looks like this, he doesn't know how many girls he will harm in the future. "In the future, it will definitely become a blue face and a disaster. "Oh my God, parents have to educate well, otherwise they will become bad men in the future." ”

Although the young Han Tuo didn't quite understand the terms "blue face and bad man", he could still feel that those adults were praising themselves. Besides, he had already promised to take care of her.

That's why I have enough confidence and courage to invite Shan Rou to join my game.

"Now, I said, do you want to play together?"

Shan Rou, who was playing alone, raised her head as if she was frightened, and then lowered her head in a panic and replied with an inaudible voice: "Okay." ”

Since then, Shan Rou has begun to stick to Han Tuo, whether it is in class, napping, or even on the way home from school, the two of them can be said to be inseparable.

This has gone beyond the confines of good friends, so to speak, to a pathological level. The young Hantuo spent about three days with difficulty, and finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Really, although I promised to play with you, you don't want to follow me to this extent!"

"But...... But ......"

The little girl's crystal pupils were filled with tears for a moment, and she grabbed the corners of her skirt with both hands, lowering her head and not daring to look directly into Han Tuo's eyes. It looks like he has broken the owner's beloved vase, trembling and facing the master's reprimand, trembling and not wanting the owner to abandon his little dog.

Xiao Hantuo sighed because of her appearance, he already understood everything, scratched the back of his head helplessly, thought for a while, and then clenched his fists as if he wanted to make a major decision.

Father Han Xing began to teach him the basic life creed that he needs to have as a human being, especially a man, since he was sensible, one of which is: a man does not promise easily, but the promise he makes must be fulfilled.

Faced with this little girl who relied on herself, was afraid of being rejected by herself, and was shy and panicked at the same time, Han Tuo couldn't give up her anything.

So he made the first promise in his life.

"Alright, don't cry! ”

The little girl held out her little finger in disbelief, and then the little boy hooked it with the same little thumb.

"I, Han Tuo agreed, I will always protect Shan Rou and prevent her from being bullied by others. ”

With the touch of each other's thumbs, the vow is completed. Shan Rou still stood in place, as if she was startled by the sudden change, and she was speechless.

Then she raised her head and finally looked directly into Han Tuo's eyes. Han Tuo seemed to be able to see a unique light take root in the eyes of the little girl in front of him, and then the little girl smiled in front of Han Tuo for the first time.

It was a small smile that was still shy, but very happy, with reddish eyes and pink cheeks, as if there were tears like dew on his face, like the satisfaction of receiving a long-awaited gift on his birthday: "Hmm." ”

This is where it all began.

This is the first promise made by Hantuo, and there are not many promises made by Hantuo in the past sixteen years, but each one is engraved in Hantuo's heart. Especially Shan Rou, this is the girl she swore to protect with her life.

But now the girl is dying.

A large truck swerved toward the sidewalk and rushed towards Shan Rou with a maddeningly shrill grinding sound. The girl even maintained a gesture of waving to Han Tuo, but the smile was not there, and timidity was revealed from the depths of her eyes.

In an instant, Han Tuo remembered the little girl more than ten years ago, with this expression, pinching the corners of his clothes and following him, shrunk his shoulders and feared everyone except Han Tuo.

That's right, Shan Rou has always been such a girl. After so many years, it's still that shy and timid girl. Is that......

Han Tuo, who squeezed out the strength from his heart and rushed away, couldn't help the rushing blood and shouted loudly: "Stop! That's ......

That's my girl!!"

When all the passers-by around were stunned by the sudden change, only Han Tuo roared and ran over.

This distance cannot be caught up, even at the speed of world Olympic athletes. Han Tuo's remaining rational thinking was very clear, but Han Tuo didn't pay attention to it, just concentrated a thought in his heart: "I want to save her, I want to save her! I must just her!"

The engraved promise burned his heart with a faint pain, and at a certain moment, the Martial God in the dark pointed at the running Han Tuo with his azure fingers, and then the majestic power that was sleeping in Han Tuo's blood woke up. Everyone was attracted by the sudden change, but no one paid attention to the ground, where a faint blue light was wandering, depicting a large, complex pattern.

At this time, Han Tuokankan touched Shan Rou's body and struggled to push her away from the scythe of death, but he was completely exposed to the ferocious steel monster.

Han Tuo showed a slight smile, and only one thought rose from his heart, "...... Caught up. ”

"Bang~" (the sound of slamming into the flesh)
