Chapter 22: Hope

"Shall we go?" the tall man asked tentatively as he saw the old monster muttering to himself.

"Is your helper's wife's mother called Hua Wanyan?" the old monster didn't answer the tall man's words, still immersed in his emotions, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly a few times, and then asked.

"It's not. The helper's wife seems to be an orphan, who has been with an ugly old servant since childhood. The tall man shook his head and said to the old monster.

"Isn't it?" Hearing the tall man say this, the old monster was a little disappointed and lowered his head.

"Shall we go?" the tall man said tentatively again when he saw that the old monster was no longer talking.

This time, the old monster didn't speak again.

The tall man and the short man looked at each other, supported each other, and limped away.

The old monster didn't look at the two who left, nor did he ask any more questions, he just froze in place, and muttered in his mouth: "It's not Wanmi, it's not Piaopiao, so where did Wanfei and Piaopiao go?"

Shangguan Feixue walked out of the house and came to the old monster's side.

"Grandpa Liu, Grandpa Liu, are you okay?" Shangguan Feixue asked in a low voice.

"Oh, it's fine. The old monster sighed and replied.

Shangguan Feixue could see the old monster's look of loss. For a man, the best comfort is to let him be alone in a quiet environment.

Just now, the conversation between the old monster and those two people, Shangguan Feixue listened to it very clearly, although it can be guessed from the conclusion drawn from their mouths that their gang leader's wife does not seem to be the daughter of the old monster, but Shangguan Feixue always thinks that there is still some inextricable connection in it.

Many times, some things are useless just by guessing, you have to see them with your own eyes.

Although Shangguan Feixue is just a child, the various unfair treatment and blows he has experienced have made his mind mature prematurely, and the things he is thinking about now are no longer within the reach of a child of his age.

After a while, Shangguan Feixue saw that the old monster's mood gradually calmed down, and only then did he speak again.

"Grandpa Liu, although this Nanshan Gang has returned again in vain this time, they will come again, I think we should think of something else to completely dispel the idea of taking that half of the sword spectrum. Shangguan Feixue said to the old monster.

"You're right. We're really going to have to plan for this. The old monster nodded, looked at Shangguan Feixue approvingly, and said.

At this moment, the old monster suddenly discovered that Shangguan Feixue, such a child, had become his backbone, and he looked at Shangguan Feixue.

"Grandpa Liu, are you okay? Is there something wrong with me?" Shangguan Feixue made the old monster look a little uncomfortable, and couldn't help but ask the old monster with a red face.

"I said ugly boy, I think our grandparents and grandchildren are destined. Otherwise, I'll go and talk to Liu Dazhuang, you don't have anywhere to go anyway, so stay with me in the future. Let's be companions, okay?" asked the old monster Shangguan Feixue.

Shangguan Feixue is now homeless, although Liu Dazhuang is good to himself, he can still see her dissatisfaction with herself from Liu Qingqing's eyes, not to mention that getting along with the old monster in the past few days has made Shangguan Feixue have a sense of family to the old monster.

"Okay. Shangguan Feixue nodded happily and agreed.

After several setbacks, the Nanshan Gang no longer came to the old monster rashly, and Shangguan Feixue lived in the old monster's home.

The old monster knelt down to the patriarch's house for Shangguan Feixue to beg for the Jade Toad Pill slowly spread in the Liujia village.

For an outsider, after consuming a treasure of Liujiazhuang, many people have more or less some ideas in their hearts, but everyone can't say anything in front of the old monster because of the status of the old monster in the village, so they sprinkled their grievances on Shangguan Feixue.

This is true for adults, and even more so among children, who do not understand what is right or wrong, and only do things according to the preferences of adults and their own simple judgments.

On this day, Shangguan Feixue had just practiced the internal strength and was talking to the old monster.

"Grandpa Liu, why do I think that this set of internal strength and mental techniques you taught me has not made any progress in the past few days?" Shangguan Feixue asked the old monster.

The old monster thought for a moment, and said to Shangguan Feixue: "It should be related to the bloodthirsty palm you had before." The bloodthirsty palm consumes people's hearts and minds, and the longer the person is injured in this way, the more blood is consumed, and the internal strength and heart method you are practicing now can increase qi and replenish blood, and the two can now be offset by avoiding strength. That's why you feel like you're not making any progress, but as long as your internal strength doesn't increase, your heart blood will soon be exhausted by your bloodthirsty palm power. ”

Shangguan Feixue nodded when she heard this, "I understand, the reason why I felt that my body was getting better before was because I didn't have anything in my body, but suddenly I had internal force, and my body could be very sensitive to perceive it, but now after reaching a certain balance, I can't perceive it again!"

"That's the truth. The old monster nodded and continued: "In the future, if you can meet a master, directly use your internal force to dissolve your bloodthirsty palm power, or you can meet the legendary Medicine King to heal your internal injuries, maybe you still have a chance." ”

"Are you saying that I might not die early?" Shangguan Feixue's heart suddenly became a little excited.

For life and death, mortals are unwilling to give up hope of life if they have a glimmer of hope, Shangguan Feixue is still a child, and the future is still full of curiosity for him, and he is certainly no exception.

"Yes. The old monster nodded, and continued, "But both are unattainable. ”

What the old monster said was not to attack Shangguan Feixue, he was just telling the truth, he didn't want to deceive Shangguan Feixue.

"It's good to have hope, it's man-made. I'm sure I'll come across it. ”

After experiencing this kind of thing, Shangguan Feixue felt that as long as there was hope, even if there was only a little hope, he could not give up.

"Yes, you are a good boy, and there will be good rewards. The old monster looked at Shangguan Feixue and said with a smile.

"Shangguan Feixue, Shangguan Feixue, come out and let's play together. Just as Shangguan Feixue was chatting with the old monster, Liu Qingqing's shout came from outside the courtyard.

Liu Qingqing didn't dare to enter the old monster's house without permission, they could only shout Shangguan Feixue outside.

"Grandpa Liu?" Shangguan Feixue heard Liu Qingqing's shout and looked at the old monster.

"Want to go out and play?" the old monster asked Shangguan Feixue with a smile.

"Hmm!" Shangguan Feixue nodded.

It is the nature of a child to love to play, although Shangguan Feixue's mind is more mature, he is still a child after all.
