Chapter 15: Father

The night is thick and the cold wind is sultry.

Lu Anran folded his hands on his knees, his back was straight, and his eyes were usually as deep as the night in front of him, as if he had been dyed by pen and ink, and it was black and pure.

Turning his head, his eyebrows were indifferent: "Father." ”

The person who came stood behind Lu Anran, tall, and the shadow was enveloped down, covering Lu Anran inside.

The two black lacquer doors of the ancestral hall were just open, and the wind blew the wide sleeves on both sides of him, and only vaguely revealed a silhouette with the light on his back, but he stood long, and the temperament of the whole body was restrained and quiet, and there was a majesty hidden in his bones.

"Your grandmother said you offended her today." As soon as his footsteps moved, he came to Lu Anran's side, revealing a hollow door.

It was dark, and the snow had stopped, but it was covered with a thin layer of light, but the candle flame was extinguished, so that his face could not be seen clearly.

His voice is not as stern and low as he imagined, on the contrary, it is gentle and mellow, like a century-old wine, with a long and mellow mouth.

Lu Anran suppressed his hair that was dancing in the wind, pinched his fingers, and said, "Yes, my grandmother blamed me for not going out on winter days, and I was dressed plainly, so I repented in the ancestral hall." ”

Suddenly silent, Lu Anran looked up at Lu Xun, but couldn't see through his expression.

"Your grandmother...... I saw a family for you. ”

Lu Anran frowned.

Lu Xun said: "The eldest son of the Yin family of Anxia County. ”

"Father agreed." Lu Anran's heart tightened.

Lu Xun glanced at her deeply, and shook his head slowly: "My father refused." ”

Lu Anran's breath was relieved: "Why? ”

"Lu, there is no need to sacrifice you."

Lu Anran's pupils shook, and his fingers slowly clenched.

Lu Xun stretched out his hand, pulled Lu Anran up, looked down at her and said, "I have never thought of restraining you, including marriage, except for one ......"

Lu Anran pursed his lips and listened to Lu Xun continue: "You are not allowed to contact medical skills." ”

Avoiding Lu Xun's gaze, Lu Anran walked over and lit the candle, twisted three incense sticks from the side and lit them into the incense burner, and when the incense came out, through the smoke, a touch of complexity flashed in her eyes.

"I still remember two years ago, it was also in this ancestral hall." Lu Xun looked at Lu Anran, and the firelight jumped and fell on his face, illuminating a face that had been baptized by the years, but still did not lose its elegance.

People who have seen Lu Xun have no doubt that he must have been a handsome and elegant man when he was young, and now he is still gentle and elegant, dressed in green clothes embroidered with bamboo leaves, noble and elegant, and temperament like an orchid.

Therefore, people can't help but sigh, how can such a person have such an ugly daughter.

Especially heard that Lu Xun had a deep love for his original partner who had passed away for many years, and refused to marry again, and only devoted himself to raising the children left by his deceased wife, which made people feel embarrassed.

Lu Anran said: "I remember, my father never scolded me, and that time ...... beat me hard."

Lu Xun's eyes were gloomy: "You brought back a pharmacopoeia?" ”

"No, my grandmother has already checked it, but it's just an ordinary medicinal diet." After Lu Anran finished speaking, he picked up a piece of paper from the side and handed it over: "Since my grandmother doesn't like it, I already burned it just now." ”

In the charcoal brazier next to him, there was no burning carbon at all, it was just to punish, how could Mrs. Lu ask someone to burn charcoal for Lu Anran to keep warm.

With just one glance, Lu Xun could see the traces of the thing burning, which was obviously a pile of pages.

Raising his eyes again, Lu Anran stood in front of him, wrapped in a red cloak, when he received the paper, he touched his cold fingers, his face was moistened by the candlelight, and the dusk was mixed with the pale of the freeze.

Lu Xun exhaled from his nasal cavity, untied the big skull on his body and shook it, and covered Lu Anran's body: "I don't wear much when it's cold." ”

Lu Anran tightened, and immediately felt a trace of warmth transmitted to his heart: "Father......"

"Huh?"

"Because of my mother's business, she didn't let me study medicine."

Lu Xun lowered his head and tied the neckline with his hand, his eyes revealed a faint light, and even more painfully, even his fingers trembled.

Lu Anran raised his hand and grabbed the belt that was about to unfold after Lu Xun let go, and took a step forward, "My father never told me, but he only told me that I was not allowed, even if the prisoner is also qualified to state the facts of the case, now I want to get an answer." ”

Thinking of today's events, Lu Anran's face was a little more stubborn, "Because my mother can't self-medicate when she studies medicine, my father doesn't trust the doctors in the world, but if there are no more doctors in the world because of choking, who will come to see the doctor, who can avenge the deceased, there will be more people, not from disease, but from fear." ”

"There is no one in the world, only you." Lu Xun twitched the muscles of his cheeks because of forbearance, turned his head sideways, and said with obscure eyes: "You can't." ”

The tone of these words was very heavy, so heavy that Lu Anran felt a big mountain pressing on her heart for a moment, making her breathless.
