Chapter 18: The Secret of Tenderness
In the small grass house, she leaned back on the chair with a leisurely face, holding a teacup in her hand, a pair of charming Danfeng eyes secretly paid attention to Yingbao's every move, watched Yingbao set up the meal, looked at her by the way, and hurriedly withdrew her gaze, looked at the bright tea in the cup for a while, and muttered:
"As the saying goes, 'one water, two teas, three and four are the essence' is not suitable for Sister Bao, I think every tea made by Sister Bao is the essence"
"What kind of wind is this girl smoking today. Ying Bao glanced at her, sat down at the dining table, and said lukewarmly, "Hurry up and eat!"
"Oh!" pouted tenderly, seeing that the few side dishes on the table were full of fragrance and color, she pondered for a moment, then rubbed her handsome cheeks like narcissism, and said with a smile: "Sister Bao's dishes are really delicious! I'm a little fat!"
"What's wrong with you today?" Yingbao raised her hand and touched it lightly on Tenderness's forehead, looked at Tenderness and said, "I'm not sick or sick, full of nonsense." I'll tell you tenderness, don't think I'm your young master, give two good words and I don't know where the north is, I don't eat your set. ”
Hearing this, Tenderness silently looked at Yingbao, still with a flattering smile on her face, "Sister!" called her sister delicately, shook Yingbao's sleeves with both hands and said, "Good sister, I beg you, you promise me!"
"What did I promise you?" Ying Bao had a calm face, pondered for a moment, looked at the tenderness and said, "Didn't you say everything yesterday? ”
"Go back, where are you going!"
Tenderness muttered in her mouth, and she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in her heart. After a morning of soft grinding and hard soaking, the purpose was to let Yingbao accept him as an apprentice. Since living in this small grass hut, after a few days of idle clouds and wild cranes, Tenderness is very envious of Yingbao and Mo Cong, so he has the idea of worshiping Yingbao as a teacher, but unfortunately after begging for several days, Yingbao just didn't agree.
"Go back to the Poison Dragon Mansion!"
"What kind of poisonous dragon mansion are you going back to!"
Tenderness had no choice but to pick up the rice bowl, pondering while eating, and was quite unwilling in her heart.
"Sister Bao, don't look at my weak body, but I can suffer anything, really, I"
Tenderly stared at Yingbao with a pair of moist Danfeng eyes, and was a little excited when she spoke. However, before she could finish speaking, she noticed that Yingbao's apricot eyes were as cold as sharp blades. Seeing this, Tenderness quickly swallowed back what she was about to say.
Yingbao glanced at her and said coldly:
"Eat your meal, eldest lady, go out for a walk when you're full, and call Mo Cong back to me by the way!"
Yingbao's tone of voice was clearly an order, and there was no room for maneuver. Tenderness also knew that the green-dressed girl in front of her was not only good at martial arts, but also had an uncertain temperament, so she didn't dare to be presumptuous, and immediately shut up, but she didn't move her chopsticks, she just stared at the rice bowl and was stunned, and the clouds on her pretty face quietly gathered.
Seeing this, Yingbao only thought that she was embarrassed for a while, and ignored it, and took care of herself and sent food to her mouth. After a while, I found that my tender body trembled slightly, and two lines of tears rolled out of my eyes
"What's wrong with you, are you uncomfortable?" asked Scarry casually.
"I feel uncomfortable!" Tenderness snorted, turned her face and replied coldly, it was so pitiful that even Yingbao felt distressed.
Yingbao frowned, put down her chopsticks, looked at the tenderness, and said softly: "You girl, why are your hearts so heavy! Do you look at me like this, like the material to be a master? Besides, you are eighteen years old, what kind of martial arts are you still practicing, you are already past the age, I heard my sister say, you, go back to be your young grandmother, and then my sister will have to drink your wedding wine!"
After speaking, Yingbao took out a handkerchief to help Tenderness wipe her tears, and looked at Tenderness still looking aggrieved, and couldn't help but shake her head and smile. didn't want her to laugh, and cried tenderly even more, as if she had to turn all the depression that had been suppressed for more than ten years into tears.
"I know that my sister is a superior person, and she thinks that I am from a low background and refuses to accept me as an apprentice," said tenderly and choked up.
"Oh, it's really distressing to look at your pitiful appearance," Yingbao sighed and said with a wry smile: "Alas, good sister, what kind of master is my sister, you haven't seen a real master, don't cry! I'll teach you both hands when I have time, let you defend yourself, okay!"
"I'm not doing it!" said Tenderness, wiping a handful of tears and curling her red lips.
"Then what do you want, tenderness, you said that you cried early in the morning, this is going to make people see it and think that I bullied you!"
Hearing this, Tenderness sobbed violently, and cried: "You are bullying me, and the people in the house are also bullying me, just to see that I am helpless and have no relatives, so you all come to bully me" After speaking, tears poured out like a spring.
"Oops! You're abrasive. Looking at the tenderness crying like a tearful person, Yingbao said helplessly: "Good sister, when did my sister bully you?" You yourself said in good conscience, since you came, I am not waiting for good tea and good food one day," after thinking about it, Yingbao felt a little aggrieved again, and sighed: "Although I am ashamed of you, do you think my sister looks like that kind of vicious person?"
"Sister" cried out tenderly and heartbreakingly, and threw herself into Yingbao's arms, as if Yingbao was a relative she hadn't seen for many years, crying in the dark.
"Okay, good, my sister knows that you are wronged in your heart, and it is not easy to be in that house for so many years, alas! If you want to cry, then you can cry enough!" Holding the tenderness in her arms, Yingbao suddenly felt that the tenderness of her body was really as soft as water, and she didn't feel a little weight at all, as if she was about to break with a little effort, it was so weak. Think about it, the girl in her arms is really pitiful, although she has developed the temperament of a young lady in the Poison Dragon Mansion, after all, there are many people in the Poison Dragon Mansion, she is a little girl, helpless, lonely, and inevitably squeezed out by others, and finally survived out of her status, and this time she was kicked out of the mansion, and the pain in her heart is naturally incomprehensible to ordinary people. Looking at the tenderness silently, Yingbao couldn't help but think of her sad past, and secretly shed a few tears.
After crying in Yingbao's arms for a long time, Tenderness suddenly looked up, and saw Yingbao looking out of the window blankly, with a line of crystal tears flowing on her pink face, and felt a little strange in her heart. In the impression of tenderness, Yingbao should be a resolute and decisive heroine, as for the tears have nothing to do with her, so she asked:
"Sister, why are you crying?"
"Huh?" Scarlet wiped away her tears and softened her voice, "No, it's nothing, seeing how sad you cry, can I not shed a few tears? Don't forget, I'm a woman too!" In order to hide the bitterness in her heart, Sphagile barely squeezed out a smile.
"Sister, you can't deceive me, how can people cry if they are not sad! In fact, I have long seen it, sister, you are not an ordinary person, your old grandfather must also have a great background, I have been here for more than two months, and I have not even seen face-to-face, I have met all the masters in the Poison Dragon Mansion, but I have never seen anything like you. I know that you have a purpose for living in seclusion here, there must be a more powerful force behind you, my intuition tells me, it is stronger than the poisonous dragon family, I think even Mo Cong doesn't know this!" Tenderness wiped her tears, and a pair of charming Danfeng's eyes suddenly flashed with unusual brilliance.
Hearing this, Yingbao was stunned, but there was no trace on her face, a pair of shining starry eyes turned left and right, thought about it and smiled: "This girl, I think you are crazy today, and you actually said something crazy." You, just be your young grandmother, you'd better not worry about this matter in the rivers and lakes, it's not good for you to know too much!"
"Sister, don't scare me, I'm not crazy, I know that my sister won't reveal her identity easily, and I don't want to ask more. Tenderness slowly looked out the window, with a bitter smile on her fresh red lips, pondered for a long time, and suddenly looked back at Yingbao, as if there was something difficult to say, and hesitated again and again before she mustered up the courage to say: "I know that my sister is a good person, so I'll tell my sister the truth, I'm not an ordinary person!"
"And who are you?" said Scarryphne.
Tenderness took a deep breath, straightened up a willow-like posture and looked at Yingbao solemnly, and said, "Sister, have you heard of the Amorites?"
"Huh?" Scarlet didn't seem to hear what Tenderness said, but those three words exploded in her mind, and she immediately stared at a pair of almond eyes, staring closely at Tenderness's charming and amorous Danfeng eyes and Tenderness for so long, Sppon had never thought of tenderness eyes, and at this time she suddenly found that there was something special in Tenderness's eyes, which made people shudder a little when they looked at it.
"You, what are you talking about?" asked Yingbao as she looked down and looked at tenderness.
The tender eyes became a little confused, and said slowly: "Sister, do you know? My hometown is very beautiful, the jungle is full of flowers, after the rain, there will be five-colored clouds on the top of the mountain, the sky is very high, and the blue people have lived in that small mountain village for generations, and rarely interact with the outside world" told the past of her hometown, with a faint smile on her tender mouth, as if she had returned to the past. After speaking, he lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and sighed: "One day there were two injured hunters in the village, and we took them in, but soon after a while, there was a strange plague in the village, and those two people took the opportunity to kill all the clansmen, and I watched my relatives fall under the knife."
After finishing the sad past sealed in his memory, his tender face was full of tears, and he couldn't cry anymore. There was also silence in the grass hut, and after a long time, Yingbao frowned and asked:
"And how did you survive?"
Wiping his tears, he shook his head gently and said, "As for how I was saved, I can't tell, anyway, when I opened my eyes, I saw an old man, thin and thin like a ghost, I thought I was dead, and then he sold me to the Poison Dragon Mansion." I remember very clearly, when Mrs. Lan gave me seven gold coins to buy me back to the house, and asked me to be a girl serving tea and pouring water in her room. ”
"Where he is selling you, he is finding you a safe place. Yingbao said unhurriedly.
"My sister is really smart, and when the old man was leaving, he told me that I must not reveal my identity, otherwise I would be killed. Later, I learned that the tribesmen were not suffering from any plague, but were poisoned, and this was the time when I saw a notebook in the library of the house, which recorded what happened at that time, and it turned out that twelve years ago, there were tragedies on the rivers and lakes, and it was not only our Amori tribe that suffered, but even the famous Gongsun family was exterminated."
"Do you know a lot?" said Jewel as she pricked up her eyes and looked at Tenderness.
"Sister, don't look at me like this, it's scary. ”
"Yes!Tenderness, you are very smart, but it's a pity that you have already revealed your identity!" As she spoke, Ying Bao stood up suddenly, suddenly became hideous, and a murderous purple cyclone rose from her palm, pressing on Tenderness's chest like lightning, and asked coldly: "Say, who else is alive?"
"Sister, you" looked at Yingbao with wide eyes, she had never seen such a terrible Yingbao, her face turned pale with fright for a while, and her delicate body couldn't help trembling.
"Amorites, you have superpowers, but unfortunately you don't have them, now I can kill you easily, tell me, who else is alive!" Snap asked sharply.
"Sister, don't be scared," Tenderness seemed to have a sudden epiphany, curled up, and looked at Yingbao pitifully.
"A gang, a gang, you're dead, you stupid hat!" poked on the tender forehead, Yingbao said angrily: "I'm reminding you, don't be stupid, tell the truth to people, you can't be emotional in the rivers and lakes, understand?"
Seeing this, although Tenderness breathed a sigh of relief, but the fragile heart still kept beating, and she covered her chest with her hands and said, "Sister, what are you doing?
"Good guys, tell me, what do good guys look like? Do bad guys have bad words written on their faces? Let me tell you tenderness, things on the rivers and lakes are complicated, and you can tell who is good and who is bad? You remember to me, from now on, you are not allowed to mention your background to anyone, understand?"
Looking at Yingbao's dazzling eyes like firelight, she bowed her head tenderly and said, "I know!"
"It's good to know!"
Seeing that Yingbao's face gradually soothed, she bit her red lips tenderly, and said timidly: "Sister, in fact, I am telling you this, just to tell you that I am not a rare young grandmother, nor do I want to live a rich and noble life, but fate forced me on this road, and I had to go." ”
Hearing this, Yingbao nodded slightly, the essence flashed in her eyes, and she said with a wicked smile: "Tenderness, I believe that what you say is true, because I can see from your eyes that you are indeed an Amoritian, but there is something I want to ask you, do you like the poisonous dragon zhi?"
"I" tenderly blushed, lowered his head and hesitated for a long time, and muttered: "What do you like or dislike, sister, you think, the young master is a little fart, what is the meaning of following him! In fact, before I met you, I thought, admit it! In the future, I will give him a concubine, and when the time comes, my husband and children will be like that for the rest of my life! But now I have figured it out, I must practice, maybe through the cultivation of internal strength, I can awaken the ability in my body, I want to find the enemy, I want to avenge the clansmen with my own hands!" Tenderness with a little fortitude on his face.
"Revenge, it's up to you!" Ying Bao looked at Tenderness with contempt and shook her head with a smile.
"Sister, you have never experienced such pain, watching your own people fall one by one, that kind of pain" tenderly bit her red lips and was silent.
"You say I haven't experienced it?" Yingbao pointed at herself, but stopped abruptly. After pondering for a long time, he said softly: "Good sister, my sister knows, you said this to your sister because you believe your sister." But there are some things you still don't understand, I advise you, it's better to go back and be your young grandmother, don't think about revenge, you can't take revenge at all"
"Why?"
"There's no why! don't ask any more!" Rainbow's face flashed with anger, a real look of anger that Tenderness had never seen before, but it was fleeting. Yingbao shook her head calmly, looked at the tenderness, and said with a smile: "As for you want to practice martial arts, I can give you an idea." ”
"What an idea!"
Tenderness's eyes suddenly lit up, and she was secretly happy in her heart, but she heard Yingbao say: "Isn't there a lot of high-level ** in the Poison Dragon Mansion?
Tenderness looked at Scarry with wide eyes, and Scarbour's words were like a basin of cold water poured in her face, extinguishing her last glimmer of hope. Helplessly, she breathed a sigh of relief, and this pretty girl, who would be fascinated at a glance, had to look out the window with disappointed eyes.
The outside world was still cold, and a few stakes as smooth as mirrors reflected the blinding light.
happened to see the mountain ghost Wen jumping into the courtyard, tenderly turned his face to look at Yingbao, and said, "The mountain ghost young master is here!"
"I saw it earlier, it was just in time, and sending you back home can be regarded as a piece of my heart, so as not to get in the way of you here. ”
"Sister, you don't mean what you said!" Tenderness looked at Ying Bao weakly.
"It's true! 1,000 10,000 hearts!"
"Liar!" Tenderness glanced at Scarbour, and through Sphary's eyes, Tenderness seemed to see the pure and kind heart of the sister in front of her.
While the two were talking, the mountain ghost Wen pushed the door into the house, greeted Yingbao, looked at Tenderness with strange eyes, and asked with a smile: "Sister Rou, what's wrong with you? Why are your eyes red, crying!"
"Isn't it, I heard that I was going home, and I was happy. Ying Bao teased from the side.
Hearing this, Mountain Ghost Wen was stunned for a moment, a trace of essence flashed in his eyes, and he smiled slightly: "I'll tell you good news, I've investigated everything clearly, and in two days, Sister Lao Bao will go to explain to my aunt, and Sister Rou can go back." I talked to my aunt on the side, and I can see that my aunt is very worried about Sister Rou in her heart, but she is hard-mouthed, as long as Sister Bao comes forward, it will definitely be no problem. ”
"That's great!" Yingbao looked at Tenderness with a smile, then turned her face to look at Mountain Ghost Wen again, and asked, "Why didn't Young Master Poison Dragon come?"
"Oh, I almost forgot, I just met Mo Cong on the road, and the two of them muttered and didn't know what to do!"
"What else can you do? I must have fallen in love with a little girl from a certain family, let Mo Cong help deliver the message!" Tenderness had a pretty face, and there was obviously a trace of resentment in her eyes.
