Chapter 15: Father
If your child suddenly says to you when he is 10 years old, "Daddy! I'm going to the capital to mix up the black dao! I'm going to be a bastard! β
Would you agree?
I believe that most parents will think that their children are tight-skinned and do not need to clean up, and they will not have such brainless thoughts after cleaning up.
Zhao Zheng's father obviously belongs to the majority.
"Little rabbit cub, you went to Qixuanmen to learn martial arts for a few days, and your wings hardened, and you still want to go to the capital of Lanzhou by yourself? Why can't you go to heaven if you're so capable! β
Old man Zhao is chasing this unfilial son all over the yard with a handle at the moment.
Zhao Zheng deliberately slowed down during the escape, and let Old Man Zhao hit him twice from time to time to vent his anger for Old Man Zhao.
"Dad, my master has said that Qixuanmen is too small, there is nothing to teach me, if you want to become stronger, I can only have a chance if I go to Lanzhou."
"Stinky boy, you still dare to talk back! See I don't hit you! Old Man Zhao was tired after a while, so Fang threw the handle aside and stopped panting.
Zhao Zheng turned around and saw this, ran into the house in three or two steps and came out with a pot of tea.
"Dad, you're tired, let's drink two sips of tea and rest."
Old Man Zhao snatched the cup he had just poured tea from Zhao Zheng's hand and rolled his eyes at Zhao Zheng.
"If you raise an unfilial son, Lao Tzu will have to live ten years less!" He looked up and drank his tea.
"Dad, don't be angry, the child can come back after a year and a half, just rely on the child's ability, no matter how difficult the martial arts are learned." Zhao Zheng was so diligent that he walked behind Old Man Zhao and knocked him on the back.
"Don't give Lao Tzu nonsense, is that a question of whether martial arts is difficult or not? What a mess it is in Lanzhou City! The three major forces are also heard of by my father in this remote mountainous area. Not to mention the small gangs under the three major forces, today I will beat you, tomorrow you will beat mine, you can lose your life if you go there without paying attention! Old man Zhao slowly eased up, and his tone was so serious that he reasoned with this Zhao family's Dumiao Miaomiao.
"It's okay Dad, the child is very powerful now, even if there is someone in the world who can beat me, I can escape with light skills."
Zhao Zheng ran to chase the stars and catch the moon, and ran two laps to show Old Man Zhao.
After seeing it, Old Man Zhao still shook his head, "Child, you have not entered the WTO deeply, I don't know that this person has a sinister heart, and the rivers and lakes cannot be understood by relying on high martial arts and good light skills." How many first-class masters in the rivers and lakes have been killed silently, how much better can you be than them? Is it invulnerable, or can you sleep with your eyes open? β
"Dad~~ I'll pay attention, wouldn't it be nice to stop causing trouble outside and offending people" Zhao Zheng really said something about this old man.
"You can watch a fart! I said no, but no! You want to go to Lanzhou now, unless I die, you will die of this heart. If you stay at home for a few days, you will honestly go back to Qixuanmen, don't block you here! Old Man Zhao was really angry, he shook off Zhao Zheng's hand on his back, and left without looking back.
Seeing that the old man did not agree, Zhao Zheng was very discouraged, standing listlessly in the yard, the sunspot didn't know from which corner he ran out, stepped forward and put it on, his huge claws put on Zhao Zheng's shoulder, and took advantage of Zhao Zheng's distraction to lick the master's face.
"Stinky dog, go down for me! I'm sick to deathβ" Zhao Zheng's disgusted voice came from the courtyard.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
In a blink of an eye, Zhao Zheng had been at home for more than half a month, during which he never mentioned the matter of going to Lanzhou.
Honestly being a child on the knees made the two mothers very pleased. For more than half a year after leaving home, the two mothers who miss their children the most are still the same, although they usually have correspondence, but they are still not close to real people by their side.
After dinner on this day, Zhao Zheng went back to his room to write a thick farewell letter, put it on the table, and he quietly packed a few changes of clothes......
"Stop! Where do you want to go so late? Old Man Zhao's voice came from the side, Zhao Zheng's heart tightened, blaming himself for living too comfortably in the world, and he didn't listen carefully to the movement outside the door.
Zhao Zheng turned his head and smiled. At this time, he was also running out of words, everyone knew what was going on, and he couldn't fool Old Man Zhao.
"Dad, I'll go to Lanzhou for a walk!"
Through the moonlight, Zhao Zheng saw that Old Man Zhao's face was expressionless, rare serious.
"It's for your own good! Why, now that you have learned martial arts, you don't even listen to your father's words? β
"Don't dare, Dad, just let me go! If there are no accidents, the child will be back soon. β
Zhao Zheng didn't want to make the old man angry, he had already regarded this place as his home after all these years of getting along - the philistine and good old man Zhao, the beautiful and charming mother-in-law, and the gentle and kind adoptive mother had been treating him wholeheartedly all these years......
He also wanted to leave secretly this time, not to confront Old Man Zhao head-on, but he didn't expect to be caught by others because he was not clever enough.
At this time, the serious old man Zhao spoke again: "Why did I give birth to you so unconscious!" When you were going to go to Qixuanmen to learn martial arts, I should have thought that there would be today! β
Old Man Zhao sighed,
"That's it! That's it! I can't help my father, you want to run out and your father can still discount your legs? Go if you want! β
"Thank you Dad! The child will come back as soon as possible and write to you in Lanzhou! β
Zhao Zheng was afraid that he would regret it, so he tightened his package and was about to go out.
"Wait a minute." Old Man Zhao stopped him again, only to see him take out a jade necklace from his arms, walk up to Zhao Zheng and put it on his neck.
"You have this no-brainer."
Zhao Zheng took the pendant in his hand and looked at it by the moonlight: this is a jade plaque with a transparent green body, rectangular, about two inches long. The whole body is flat, without a trace of polishing. The whole sign glowed green in the hazy moonlight.
"Dad, why are you giving me this?"
"This is a treasure handed down from our ancestors, and it is said that wearing it on the body can turn evil into good fortune and help people resist disasters. You leave it alone, and Daddy can rest assured. β
Old Man Zhao quietly took out the family heirloom, for fear that Zhao Zheng would do something outside.
"Dad, don't worry! I'm sure I'll come back in one piece! Zhao Zheng had mixed feelings in his heart.
"Little bunny, that's a nice one! You must be cautious when you go out, and don't easily make enemies with others, knowing that you don't ......"
Old Man Zhao gave another advice.
"Okay, everything that should be explained has been explained, you go quickly, if you don't leave, I'm afraid that I will change my mind."
"Dad, you should also take care, you must pay more attention to your body after the child is gone."
Zhao Zheng knelt down suddenly, respectfully kowtowed to Old Man Zhao, and got up and didn't have to go back.
Old Man Zhao took advantage of the moonlight to watch Zhao Zheng's figure fade away behind him......
