Volume 1 The first foray into the rivers and lakes Chapter 38 There is no reward

Xu Zhaonan nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

Su Yurou was puzzled: "Speaking of which, you also saved the lives of my Su family, why did you pretend not to know me when you saw me." ”

In fact, Xu Zhaonan was just a child, where did he get the ability to save people, the Su family was able to save his life, thanks to Gu Sihai's efforts, at this time, this sentence "you" can be regarded as putting gold on Xu Zhaonan's face.

Xu Zhaonan said: "Originally, I didn't recognize you, but I didn't know that you were the young lady of Jiangnan County when I talked to you, but I thought it was just a one-sided relationship, you were still young at the time, I was afraid that I didn't remember, so I naturally didn't mention it." ”

Su Yurou glanced at her and said, "You weren't that big back then." ”

Xu Zhaonan looked at Su Yurou's delicate appearance, and suddenly thought that because he looked at her more, he was actually ridiculed by Uncle Gu for taking a fancy to Su Yurou's handsomeness, and he moved his mind, this ridicule was for many years, and he suddenly smiled embarrassedly.

Su Yurou naturally didn't know what he was thinking, and thought, "But I asked you before, why didn't you tell me the truth...... Father said that you are the descendants of Western Chu, and it is common for you to be unwilling to deal with us...... Master's attitude towards you today is different from ordinary people, I heard Master say that she has a senior sister who is the wife of the Western Chu Sword God, are you related to the Western Chu Sword God......

Xu Zhaonan was suddenly frightened into a cold sweat, hurriedly stepped forward and pressed Su Yurou's shoulder, and then covered her mouth to prevent her from continuing.

Su Yurou was pressed by him to cover her mouth, her eyes widened in fright, and a breath from the man's body filled her nose, and her face turned red instantly.

Xu Zhaonan looked around and found that there was no sound except for the occasional insect chirping, so he breathed a sigh of relief - he was a little too nervous.

"Hmm, hmm......"

A stream of hot air sprayed in Xu Zhaonan's hand, and suddenly remembered that he was still covering Su Yurou's mouth, so he quickly let go of her, took a step back, and said again and again: "I am in a hurry, I am offended, please don't blame Miss Yurou." ”

"You!"

Su Yurou raised her hand, wanting to slap him, but stared at his clear and thoughtless eyes twice and couldn't bear to do it, and finally, she snorted angrily: "Deng's disciple!"

The corners of Xu Zhaonan's mouth twitched, but he didn't dare to speak back.

Su Yurou touched her cheeks, felt unprecedentedly hot, and said angrily: "What's the matter?

Xu Zhaonan didn't dare to say anything, and apologized for a while, trying to calm her anger.

Su Yurou said angrily: "So...... You and that benefactor are both related to the Xichu Sword God?"

Xu Zhaonan saw that the matter had come to this point, and there was nothing to hide, and she could only blame herself for being stupid, but she guessed the truth in a few words, and nodded helplessly: "It's the family teacher." ”

The starlight was still flickering, and the fireflies in the courtyard had not stopped, Su Yurou looked down at the fluorescence around her, raised her head to look up at the starry sky, and asked faintly: "Then I know your secret now, what do you want to kill me?"

Xu Zhaonan arched his hand and said: "Don't dare, it's just that it's a matter of many lives, and I also ask Miss Yurou to keep it a secret for me, and you just promised me." ”

Su Yurou turned her head away, looked directly at Xu Zhaonan for a moment, and asked, "Haven't you heard of 'only women and villains are difficult to raise'? What if I don't keep a secret?"

Xu Zhaonan said helplessly: "Then I have to follow what the girl said." ”

What did the girl say?

For the sake of his senior sister, Xu Zhaonan thinks that he can do everything.

Su Yurou was so angry that her eyebrows rose up, and she turned around and left.

"Miss Yurou......" Xu Zhaonan chased and shouted, but he didn't dare to make too loud noise, for fear of being heard by others and causing trouble.

Su Yurou stopped and glared back at him, with an inexplicable look in her eyes.

............

At the same time, the lights were still on in the room of the Huo people's enemy.

The haggard Huo Rendi and Huo Chunlei sat across the desk.

Huo Chunlei, who was called by his father in the middle of the night and chatted for a long time, was still confused, and he didn't know why his father called him here, but his father didn't speak, and he couldn't ask questions.

Through the mahogany window of carved and embroidered birds, looking at the stars outside the house, and then at his father's broken arm, Huo Rendi said distressedly: "Dad, it's not early, and you are seriously injured and have not recovered, so let's rest first, and tomorrow Lei'er will come to visit my father after handling the affairs of the cabinet." ”

The biggest thing in Yijian Pavilion at the moment is naturally Huo Chunfeng's funeral, but Huo Chunlei was afraid of causing his father to be sad, so he just vaguely brought it over.

experienced such a big change during the day, and did not knock Huo Chunlei down, but seemed to suddenly open his mind, and he grew a lot in one day.

Huo Rendi looked at his son and smiled with satisfaction.

Huo Chunlei thought that his father acquiesced to his proposal, so he got up and planned to leave.

"Lei'er ......"

When Huo Chunlei just stepped out of the door frame with one foot, his father's shout came from behind him, turned his head, and said respectfully: "Dad, what's the matter?"

Huo Rendi took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, cleared his throat and said, "Come back and sit down, Dad has something to tell you." ”

Huo Chunlei, who was confused, sat down again and looked at Huo Ren's enemy with a respectful expression.

For some reason, looking at my father's unsmiling face at this time, I suddenly felt a sense of shock, and I always felt that something important was about to happen.

In the past, every time Huo Chunlei made a mistake, Huo Rendi would severely punish him, although Huo Rendi at that time was angry, but in the end, he was actually not afraid in his heart, but today, looking at Huo Rendi's calm face, he looked at him uneasy.

"Lei'er ......"

Huo Rendi's eyes fell on the Xuantie steel knife worn by Huo Chunlei's waist, and his voice seemed to come from the distant past: "I still remember when you were five years old, you held this 'broken thought' in your father's room and refused to let go, clamoring to learn the knife, and your father also persuaded you that the disciples of Yijian Pavilion are all practicing swords, if you want to learn the sword, there is no master to teach you." But if you refuse, you just hold the knife and cry......"

Huo Chunlei showed a warm smile on his face, and said embarrassedly: "Lei'er still remembers." At that time, my father persuaded me for a long time, but I just didn't listen, maybe since then, I have started to make you angry a lot. ”

Huo Rendi sighed and asked, "Do you know why Dad finally agreed?"

Huo Chunlei grinned and said, "Lei'er knows that my father feels sorry for me. ”

Huo Rendi shook his head and said, "It's not just ......."

Huo Chunlei said blankly: "Why is that?"

"Because, this is your father's knife!"

After Huo Rendi said this, he sat down on the chair as if he had exhausted the last bit of strength in his body.

One sentence stunned Huo Chunlei and stammered: "Dad, don't you just ...... Isn't that my dad......"

Huo Rendi looked at Huo Chunlei with a smile, when he picked him up from the old man's house, he was still such a immature little person, those confused little eyes stared at the strange self, and after a while, he pursed his lips, lay in his arms and let out a loud cry, crying helplessly for his first father.

In the blink of an eye for twenty years, Huo Chunlei in front of him has grown up, his heroic and upright appearance, bold and generous personality is quite fatherly, and he has already set up a family affair for him, although there have been some twists and turns because of his eldest son, but with the character of his old friend Ye Qingcang, he will definitely not regret his marriage.

"Now, I am about to send Lei'er to the ends of the earth to practice, and my future will definitely surpass you and me in the future, and you should smile under the Nine Springs......" Huo Rendi said silently to the old friend in the depths of his memory in his heart.

"Dad, what's going on...... What did Lei'er do wrong, don't you want Lei'er?"

Huo Chunlei's cry woke Huo Rendi from his memories, and he smiled with relief: "Dad didn't lie to you, Lei'er, Dad is not good at words, you have never told you stories since you were a child...... Move the chair to Daddy, and Daddy will tell you a story now, okay?"

Huo Chunlei cried and nodded, and did as he said.

When Huo Chunlei sat closer, Huo Rendi patted his son's hand that was holding the back of the chair, it was cold, and he smiled and covered his hand on the back of Huo Chunlei's hand.

"Twenty-five years ago, my father's cultivation had just entered the realm of the second grade, and he only walked the rivers and lakes with a long sword at that time, and he had not yet made a name for himself...... However, if you go to the end of the world with a sword, you will inevitably encounter some injustices, and once my father saw a group of people in the rivers and lakes relying on their own cultivation to do the thing of bullying men and women, so he naturally drew his sword and made a move......

Huo Chunlei said excitedly: "Dad, I will fight like you in the future, and act chivalrous and righteous!"

Huo Rendi smiled lightly, raised his hand to signal him not to interrupt himself, and continued: "Later, after beating the apprentice to provoke the master, the master's cultivation is not far from his father, and there are many helpers, and his father's two fists are difficult to defeat with four hands...... Just when my father was about to die under his sword, a swordsman rushed out of the crowd and helped my father kill the thief, which was considered to have saved my father's life. ”

"Daddy...... Who is that person......" Huo Chunlei trembled his lips and said in a trembling voice.

"Listen to my dad first. ”

Huo Rendi patted Huo Chunlei's hand, he was originally a man with strong blood, but at this moment, his hands were white, as if he had lost his blood, and no matter how tightly he covered it, he couldn't warm it, he sighed helplessly, and continued: "I hit that knife man at first sight, and immediately cut chickens and drank blood with him, and one head fell to the ground, and I married Jin Lan. Since then, I have traveled with him, traveled around together, and laughed at the words of a sword and a sword. Later, we both had our own destiny, and we agreed that in the future, if we both gave birth to sons or daughters, we would marry Jinlan like us, and if we gave birth to a boy and a girl, we would marry and get married......"

Speaking of this, Huo Rendi couldn't help but reddened his eyes, trembled with his long hair under his chin, and choked up: "Later, both of our children were born, and both of them were boys. My child was born in the early spring, a few months older, and was named Chunfeng, and his child was born in late spring, and the younger one was named Chunlei......"

Even if he was prepared, Huo Chunlei was still trembling like a lightning strike at the moment, and two lines of tears flowed from his eyes.

Huo Rendi picked up the towel on the desk with one arm, wiped the tears on Huo Chunlei's face, and smiled angrily: "If a man has tears, he doesn't flick, what are you crying about." As everyone knows, he is already in tears.

Huo Chunlei held his father's hand to wipe his tears for him, and asked, "That's ...... And then?"

Huo Rendi stuffed the towel into Huo Chunlei's hand, leaned over and took off the broken thought hanging from his waist, put it on his knee and stroked it gently, recalling: "I forgot to tell you that the swordsman's name is Xiao Yi, and his son's name is Xiao Chunlei." ”

After that, he raised his eyes to look at Huo Chunlei's reaction, and saw that he was still calm, and then said: "The so-called people are floating in the rivers and lakes, how can they not be stabbed, the personalities of Xiao Yi and I determine that they are not peaceful people after all." Finally, one day trouble came to the door. At that time, his child was about to be full moon, and I took my wife to celebrate at his house, and the enemy came to look for him, and neither of us nor my husband and wife were opponents, and our wives were almost in kung fu, and they were killed one after another, and then the enemy wanted to cut them both under the sword. At the time of crisis, Xiao Yi rushed to block a sword for me and saved my life...... The enemy's sword was pressed to death by him, and he won me a chance to fight back. After I killed the enemy, Xiao Yi was already in danger, and entrusted the child to me before he died...... Later, I took his infant child in my arms, knelt down before his grave, and swore that the son of my old friend should be like my son!"

Huo Rendi looked at Huo Chunlei who was in tears, and said with a smile: "Since then, I have changed my temperament, for the sake of your two brothers, I am kind to others everywhere, but I am afraid that one day I will affect the two of you again." In fact...... Your real name should be ...... Xiao Chunlei ......"

"No!"

Huo Chunlei suddenly roared: "I don't call Xiao Chunlei anything! I only call Huo Chunlei! Those who give birth to me but do not support me can be repaid by cutting off their fingers; those who give birth to me and raise me can be repaid by sacrificing their lives; those who do not give birth to me and raise me cannot be repaid! You are my father, and you will be my father in this life!"
