Chapter 9: Rumors
"What? Mother, you said that Brother Xiao'an was picked up by you? Why haven't you told me about this before? I always thought that Brother Xiao'an also reported from the bottom of the mountain!" Ning Xuan, who had never heard the news, was stunned.
"You kid, you stupid, your brother Xiao'an has been here for a long time, where is there a child sent here at such a young age. ”
"It turns out that Brother Xiao'an is an orphan, ......" After listening to her mother's story, Ning Xuan couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic.
"Yes, my mother found your little brother on a reef back then. ”
"On a rock, how can my little brother be on a rock?"
"Yes, your mother and I were puzzled at the time, and my mother doesn't know what's going on to this day. ”
"Mother, since Brother Xiao'an was picked up by you, why don't you let Brother Xiao'an live with us?" Looking at her mother, Ning Xuan said pitifully.
"It's not that my mother didn't think about it, it was my mother who took him at the beginning, but since I had you, your father won't let me take him. ”
"My dad is so bad!" Ning Xuan said fiercely.
"Don't talk about your dad like that, your dad is also for you. ”
"Then where did Brother Xiao'an go later?" Ning Xuan continued to ask.
"Later, your father handed him over to Aunt Lin in the canteen to raise, and then your brother Xiao'an grew up slowly, and when he was five years old, Aunt Lin in the canteen also went back and didn't come back, and your brother Xiao'an grew up slowly. ”
"Mother, why don't you let Brother Xiao'an practice swords and learn knowledge? Brother Xiao'an seems to like practicing swords very much!" Ning Xuan remembered the scene where Xiao An peeked at the students practicing swords in the martial arts training ground in the early morning.
"Alas...... If my mother has time, I will teach you Brother Xiao'an to read and break words, but I can't teach you to practice swords. ”
"My dad can teach, and besides, why doesn't my dad just accept Brother Xiao'an as a student?"
"Actually, my mother discussed this with your father a long time ago, but your father ...... Alas......" Ruoyi sighed.
"It's my dad again, why is my dad so bad!"
"Child, you can't say that about your father, maybe your father has his own ideas. ”
"What can he think, he knows that he has a straight face all day long, hum!" Ning Xuan said angrily.
"You kid, don't be angry, your father's face is also because he is worried about you, okay, okay, rest early, my mother is going back to the room. ”
"Mother, can you talk to your father when you go back to the room and take Brother Xiao'an as a student?" Ning Xuan prayed.
"Okay, okay, I'll discuss it with your father, let's rest early. Ruoyi got up and blew out the light, turned around and gently closed the door.
Ruoyi, who returned to the room, found that the light had not been extinguished, and Di Mu had not yet fallen asleep, holding a dilapidated and old picture book in his hand, flipping through the pages by the light of the lamp.
"Haven't slept yet?" Ruoyi walked lightly to Di Mu and saw the book he was holding in his hand, "Where did Xianggong find such an old book, it is still all pictures, and there is no text description." Ruoyi was also curious.
"I also accidentally turned to this book, and after reading it for a long time, I didn't seem to see any eyebrows, and there was no text description, maybe it was a children's book......" Seeing that the lady came back, Di Mu put down the book in his hand.
"I'll see. Ruoyi picked up the book softly, and couldn't help frowning as she flipped through it, "What are these paintings? ”
"Yes, I've never seen ...... before," Dimu lamented that he was not knowledgeable enough.
"Xianggong, look, looking at this painting, do you think it looks like an eye?" Ruoyi pointed to a page in the book and motioned to Di Mu to look at it.
"yes, it does look like an eye. Di Mu nodded after looking at Ruoyi's guidance, and then thought, "If this is really an eye, then what do you think it means, madam?"
"Alas... I don't know. Ruoyi didn't care, walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, "Let's rest early." ”
"By the way, you just came back from Xuan'er's room, where did Xuan'er go to play today? Dimu walked over and asked.
"Xuan'er, this kid is just playful, and today he ran to the beach and lost his shoes. ”
"Look at this kid, he is getting bolder and bolder, and now he dares to run to the beach, what if something happens?"
"Okay, okay, the child is young, and he's just playful, besides, isn't there nothing wrong with this?" Ruoyi calmed the anger in Di Mu's heart.
"If something really happens, it will be too late!" Di Mu frowned, although he said this, he was also relieved to know that his daughter was fine.
"Well, don't say such unlucky things. ”
"Ahem......" Di Mu said with a long sigh of relief, and finally relieved, "It's all because you're too used to her..."
"I'll just take care of it a little bit more in the future. Closing the curtain, Ruoyi remembered something again, "By the way, Xianggong, I want to discuss with you about Xiao'an's child." ”
"What's wrong, isn't that kid very good, what's there to discuss?" When Xiao An's matter was mentioned, Di Mu seemed to be a little unhappy.
"Look at you, every time I mention Xiao'an's matter, you are not happy. Seeing Xianggong's state, Ruoyi also frowned in distress.
"Why, am I upset?" Dimu smiled stiffly on his serious face, hiding his displeasure.
"Since you're not upset, then don't blame me. As if she was preoccupied, Ruoyi said sadly: "Look at Xiao'an, this child, he has no father and mother since he was a child, and he hasn't had a good life since he was picked up by us. Time flies, and now that Xiao An has grown up, I just want him to be able to practice swordsmanship and learn theoretical knowledge like other children. ”
"Madam, we picked up this little bank, no matter how we say it, he is an outsider, we can rescue him and take care of him when he grows so big, it is already benevolent. Dimu said with a look of great compassion.
"In that case, why don't we do a little more?" Ruoyi looked at her husband as if asking.
"It's not that I don't want to accept him as a student, it's just that other students have paid money to come here, and Xiao'an, this kid...... Ahem, if I just take him in like this, what will other students think if they let it know? In this way, the impact on Xiao An will not be good..."Hiding his prejudice against Xiao An, he was forced so tightly by Ruo Yi, and Di Mu, who found an excuse, felt like a sigh of relief.
"That's too..."The worried Ruoyi felt even more distressed, "Then can't we think of other ways?"
"I'll think about it. Dimu lay down, "Madame, it's not early at night, let's go to bed early." ”
The next day, after the morning exercise, after eating, I took an hour's theoretical class for free practice and activity time. And at such a time, Zhou Ziying and Yu Yi, who couldn't control their mouths, spread the word about what they saw last night, and after being added by the students or with ulterior motives, they became multiple versions. The best version is that Kishi heroically saves Mei and sends Miss Xuan'er home, while the worst version is that Kishi has a lustful heart for Miss Xuan'er and insults her without anyone noticing.
"Who told you to spread this story?" asked Mu Yunxuan fiercely grabbed Zhou Ziying and Yu Yi's collars during class.
"Brother Mu, you didn't say that you can't tell others. ”
"Yes, Brother Mu, if you say that this matter can't be spread, we won't dare to tell others if you borrow ten dares. ”
The two of them grimaced and wailed.
"You two idiots!" let go of his hand, and Mu Yunxuan scolded helplessly.
Rumors are always unwinded, and Di Mu, who finished the theoretical knowledge class, heard the news immediately.
When Di Mu heard the news, he returned home with a menacing look, and was furious, and as soon as he sat down at the table, he slammed the table. Ruoyi, who was sweeping the floor, was startled and didn't understand what was going on.
"Why is there such a big fire, what's wrong?" Ruoyi walked over with concern.
"You mother-in-law still have the face to say!?" said Dimu, whose face was flushed with anger, pointing at his wife.
"What's the matter, is something happening to Xuan'er?" Ruoyi asked with a puzzled face.
"Didn't you say yesterday that Xuan'er was just going to the beach to have fun?" Dimu asked.
"yes, what's wrong. Ruoyi suddenly remembered that she didn't mention it to Xiao'an yesterday, maybe the Xianggong knew that Xuan'er was going with Xiao'an, but she wouldn't have such a big temper, Ruoyi in the fog asked: "Is it just because Xuan'er went to the beach with Xiao'an?"
"It's okay if you just go to the beach, but now listen to what the students outside have to say!" Dimu said through gritted teeth.
"What did the other students say?" Ruoyi asked.
"Lonely man and widow, come back so late, what else can you say!" The angry Dimu said: "You call Xuan'er out for me, you mother-in-law don't teach me to teach!"
"Xuan'er is drawing, I'll tell her later. Ruoyi poured Di Mu a cup of tea, "You dissipate your anger, how can you believe what those students outside say casually, they are just trying to have fun." It's going to be fine, Xiao'an, this kid I understand, although he has rarely been taught since he was a child, but this kid has always been honest, I believe he won't do anything sorry for Xuan'er. ”
"This person is growing up day by day, and his mind is growing day by day, who knows when he has a crooked thought! You call Xuan'er out first, and I want to ask you face to face. Although his anger still did not subside, under Ruoyi's kind words and explanations, Di Mu no longer had the same impulse as when he first entered the door.
