Chapter 16: The Tenderness of Children
Lingshi Village.
At the door of Ling Kang's house, Ling Soul stared at the door of the house where Ling Kang was pushed by his father, and the faint light came out of the crack under the door, and laughter came from time to time so that Ling Soul didn't dare to knock on the door for a while.
The spiritual power on his feet carefully moved to the window, bursts of aroma wafted from inside, and reached Ling Soul's nose, the room was brightly lit, and then a picture was reflected in his pupils, Ling Kang ate the big bowl of rice in his hand with a happy face, and from time to time cleverly put vegetables in the bowl for his parents.
Looking at the happy time of the family at the table, Ling Ling, who wanted to say goodbye, did not move for a while, and the hand stretched out in front of the door also stopped in the air, as if he had lost the courage to knock down, he used to often come to Ling Kang's house for dinner, knowing that although Ling Kang's family was strict on the surface, they actually loved Ling Kang very much in private.
"Well-off, you must be reluctant to cook by your mother. Ling Ling stood in the doorway in a daze, and at this time he suddenly realized that leaving had never been as simple as the two teenagers thought, and then he withdrew his hand hanging in the air and slowly squatted down.
"Xiaokang, I'm leaving, you have to practice hard in the village in the future, Grandpa Huo said that there is a unique way to train you in the village, so I may not be able to go outside with you, but don't be sad, I should go to a college in the center of the continent to practice this time, if you and Yan'er are strong, you can come to me at any time, and when you inquire casually in the city, you will definitely know my name and academy, after all, my talent is very strong, haha." ”
Ling Soul waved his fingers on the dust on the ground, in order to keep his handwriting lasting longer, he naturally used black spiritual power to slowly condense these words into frost.
Standing up and looking at his masterpiece on the ground, Ling Soul nodded with satisfaction, what will be the expression of that kid who is so good tomorrow morning? Ling Soul couldn't help but think.
It must have been scolding himself for being despicable and shameless, Ling Soul smiled.
"Well-off. After doing everything, Ling Soul turned around and said softly.
"Take care. As the voice faded, Ling Soul's figure drifted into the night sky with the wind.
Ling Kang, who was sitting in the middle of the house and pleasing his parents, suddenly put down the rice in his hand.
"Father, mother, was someone calling me outside the door just now?" Ling Kang wondered.
"I didn't hear it, you stinky boy doesn't practice every day, and you secretly go out to play at night, now you're hallucinating, don't think about going anywhere tonight, give me a good meditation in the room!" Ling Jun seemed to think of something, and his smiling face suddenly sank.
"Wronged, Dad, when I go out at night, it's sleepwalking, sleepwalking! Ling Kang screamed.
The wind creaked on the wooden door, the stern reprimand of the parents in the house, and the grievances of the young man seemed so beautiful at this time.
......
The moonlight shone on the face of the soul that had stopped, and the silver-white light made the soul's white cheeks even more handsome.
This is the place where he gave his first kiss, whenever he thinks of this, a smile will unconsciously appear on the corner of Ling Soul's mouth, Ling Yan's family is bigger than Ling Kang's family, after all, Ling Tianwu is the leader of the previous generation in the village, and he is also the person in the village who has traveled to the mainland the most, and most of the books in the village are brought back to the village by Ling Tianwu from outside.
Ling Yan seemed to eat earlier than Ling Kang, and at this time the lights had been lit up in her room, and it seemed that she was already sitting cross-legged on the bed and began to cultivate, and her rapid progress in cultivation was inseparable from her hard work.
This time, Ling Soul also did not disturb the girl who made him fall in love, and walked silently to Ling Yan's window, and through the starlight he saw Ling Yan's beautiful little face and the seductive pink cherry lips.
After admiring it for a while, Ling Soul left the window and walked to a conspicuous position next to the courtyard, the spiritual power on his fingers appeared, and Ling Soul squatted on the ground and was about to write, but he didn't know what to write for a while.
His fingers just kept tracing the word "Yan'er" on the ground, and as the time of contemplation became longer, the word "Yan'er" was also drawn deeper and deeper by him, and then he was deeply trapped in the soil, and the black spiritual power also froze these two words more and more obviously.
Finally, after I don't know how long later, Ling Soul began to write, after all, he was just a ten-year-old boy, even though his strength was not weak, but he was still a little overwhelmed by the girl he loved, so compared to Ling Kang's kind of brotherhood, he wrote a lot less words to Ling Yan, but the difference was that every word was deeply sunk into the soil, and every word was very clear.
"Yan'er, I like you, wait for me to marry you. After the ten words fell, the little face of the white soul became very red, like a ripe apple.
Ling Soul patted his face, but his eyes were very firm, and he looked around, looking a little sneaky in the middle of the night, and slowly moved his steps, until he was almost out of a certain range, and then Ling Soul disappeared with the wind.
At the same time as Ling Soul left, Ling Tianwu also pushed open the door and walked out, and walked to the place where Ling Soul had just written, with Ling Soul's current cultivation outside, he naturally couldn't hide his movements, so Ling Soul's actions he could see clearly in the house, he got Huo Lao's notice that this kid was leaving tomorrow, thinking that he was here to say goodbye to his daughter, but he didn't expect him to wander around outside for a while, squatting on the ground and writing something before leaving.
Ling Tianwu walked there and took a look, and he almost couldn't help but raise his hand to destroy his handwriting.
"How old is this kid who wants to marry my daughter? Ling Tianwu thought with a dark face, but he still didn't erase Ling Soul's handwriting after all.
Looking at the soil that had sunk deeply, there was still a faint fluctuation of spiritual power on it at this time, so that Tianwu could feel Ling Soul's feelings for his daughter.
Although it is young, it has already reached love.
Thinking of the shyness on his daughter's face that couldn't be concealed when he mentioned Ling Soul, Ling Tianwu sighed, looked up at the lights that went out in his daughter's room, and turned around and went back to the room.
Ling Soul, who didn't know that he had been discovered, pushed open the door of the house at this time, and at first glance saw his father and mother who were still waiting for him to eat at home.
"Little Soul is back, go and call Xiao Jump to dinner. Ling Ru smiled at Ling Soul.
"I'll call him. Ling Soul nodded, and didn't say anything nonsense about not waiting for me.
However, Bai Xiaoyue, who heard the voice, had already walked out by himself when he heard the movement at this time.
He had obviously just finished cultivating, and at this time he walked out with a smile in good spirits.
"Xiao Jump, come and sit, you and Xiao Soul will leave tomorrow, eat more today and try Auntie's craftsmanship." Ling Ru said softly, obviously Bai Xiaoqiao had already informed Ling Ru and Ling Zhan.
Ling Zhan glanced at the two of them on the side, and the two of them also sat down obediently after seeing it.
As if they had said it in advance, the four of them didn't mention the matter of leaving, Ling Ru was talking about Ling Soul's troubles when he was a child at the dinner table, everyone laughed after listening to it, and even Ling Soul was laughing and listening to Ling Ru's tone as if he was a child telling him a story.
"Little Soul came back when he was a child and secretly told me which girl liked him, what a simple child. Ling Ru said with a smile.
I don't know when Ling Ru was the only one of the four who was talking, and the other three were listening very carefully, no one interrupted her talking, no one disturbed her memories, and no one stopped her from loving her children like a treasure.
"Little Soul Before..."
"He was..."
"He's always ...... ...... all the time."
It's just abrupt, Ling Ru doesn't seem to be able to speak, her tone is a little choked, and her eyes as gentle as water are already misty at this time.
"Always... I want to cultivate. When Ling Ru said this, tears were already flowing down her cheeks.
"I'm such a big person, and I'm still so ashamed. Ling Ru laughed at herself, then touched Ling Soul's head and said, "Mother is fine, are you two full, go back to the house to rest when you are full, and you have to get up early tomorrow." Ling Ru rubbed her red eyes and smiled at Ling Soul.
"Mother, or I..." Ling Soul looked at his mother and wanted to say something, but was directly pushed into the room by Ling Ru.
Ling Zhan didn't say anything, hugged his wife in his arms and comforted: "Little Soul is not leaving forever, you see you crying, it scares the child, Little Soul is different from us, he will become a great cultivator who stands up to the sky, believe him." ”
Ling Ru just kept nodding in her husband's arms and didn't speak again.
Ling Soul was also a little sad when he returned to the house, he almost had the idea of wanting to stay, of course, he would not blame Ling Ru, and no one would blame Ling Ru, because this was a mother's nostalgia for her son.
"Little Jump..."Ling Soul said as he lay on the bed and covered his eyes.
"Huh?" Bai Xiaoyue replied as he stepped aside.
"Let's go early tomorrow. Ling Soul said softly.
Bai Xiaoyue didn't reply, he knew that Ling Soul still hadn't finished speaking.
"When we go... Don't mess with my parents. Ling Soul said again.
"Hmm. Bai Xiaoyue understood what he meant, this was to avoid the sad scene from affecting his determination.
"The path of a warrior is boring and lonely, and our Great Elder said that leaving the protection of parents is the first task of becoming a strong man. Bai Xiaoyue said.
"I understand. Ling Soul replied.
Bai Xiaoyue wanted to say something, but heard the faint breathing sound from the young man.
Fell asleep.
Bai Xiaoyue smiled helplessly, picked up the quilt on the side, and wanted to cover it for Ling Soul, but saw the young man's palm gradually slipping off after sleeping.
Ling Soul's eyelids were a little red and swollen, and Bai Xiaoyue understood that he was distressed by his parents' reluctance to him.
"What a kid. Bai Xiaoyue muttered as he covered the quilt on Ling Soul.
He who wanted to cultivate, was infected by the soul, and at this time he was also lying quietly on the bed.
"But what if... I also have such a father, and I would like to be a child. Bai Xiaoyue muttered, then turned over and fell asleep.
The moonlight was cold and soft against the starry sky, and the faint light flickered through the window on the sleeping cheeks of the teenagers, as if whispering to the teenagers' last parting...
