Chapter 205: Laughter of Affection
Lan Xiaorui suddenly glanced at Xie Shan with deep eyes and asked, "What about you?"
"I ......", Xie Shan didn't understand Lan Xiaorui's abrupt question, and frowned: "What"?
Lan Xiaorui asked calmly, "Uncle Xie, what kind of person are you?"
Xie Shan was stunned for a moment, as if he was reminded of the old past, so he smiled faintly. The pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info but he didn't say anything.
Lan Xiaorui said to herself: "I know, Uncle Xie, you are also a good person who values love and righteousness."
Xie Shan's expression froze, but he immediately returned to normal, just smiled faintly, and said, "I don't think I'm a good person, and I'm not as great as you say."
"You have. Whether you admit it yourself or not, but you have always been such a person, such a good person."
Lan Xiaorui didn't give Xie Shan a chance to speak, and continued: "If it weren't for that, how would you be willing to be a housekeeper in Luoxue Valley."
"I'm just a housekeeper."
"But with your ability, you don't have to be willing to be a housekeeper at all."
"Ability, what ability do I have......", Xie Shan smiled faintly and said, "I'm just a housekeeper." All my life, I was just a housekeeper, and I could only be a housekeeper."
"But I know, if you talk about power and strategy, Uncle Xie, you will never be under your valley master, and in terms of martial arts, you are far better than him", Lan Xiaorui's eyes were like water, staring straight at Xie Shan, as if he wanted to see the other party through completely.
Xie Shan was looked at a little unnaturally, so he had to turn his face away.
Lan Xiaorui still stared at him intently and said, "If Uncle Xie is not a good person who values love and righteousness, then why don't you replace him as the valley master?"
"Shut up", Xie Shan suddenly shouted.
The old man, who had always been peaceful, seemed to be angry. He glanced at Lan Xiaorui coldly, and said sharply: "Not to mention that I, Xie Shan, am just a person with a foreign surname, not to mention that my identity is just a servant in Luoxue Valley." What virtue do I have, how can I replace the valley master, if you continue to talk so nonsense, don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless."
Lan Xiaorui didn't take away his gaze from staring at Xie Shan, and even ignored the other party's indignation, and said extremely calmly: "I don't care what your identity is, and I don't want to pursue your surname." I only know that over the years, if it weren't for your full assistance, how could you valley masters alone support such a large Falling Snow Valley; if it weren't for you and your valley masters in the same boat and supporting each other, how could Falling Snow Valley always firmly occupy the name of the first great family in martial arts; if it weren't for you and your valley lords working hard together, how could Falling Snow Valley have today's grand occasion?"
Xie Shan said lightly: "I'm just helping the valley master deal with some chores."
"Is it really just chore"?
"Absolutely".
"But I've heard that you're fully involved in everything big and small in the Falling Snow Valley, without a single exception."
"Then how can I ......", Xie Shan said with a deep smile: "Although I am only a person with a foreign surname, Luoxue Valley is my home. Naturally, I want to be involved in family affairs."
"That means that Luoxue Valley can become so big as it is today, thanks to your contributions, at least your hard work."
"Sort of".
"But it's always you valley owners who are in the limelight, and you're always just silently hiding behind you. Who knows how much you have secretly borne for your lords!".
Xie Shan was silent.
Lan Xiaorui asked, "Are you willing"?
After being silent for a long time, Xie Shan suddenly smiled and said: "There is nothing willing and unwilling, only worthy and unworthy." I think everything I've done has been worth it, and I'm very happy with who I am. In this life, I really don't want to have too much greed."
This time, Lan Xiaorui was silent. However, although he didn't say anything, the respect for Xie Shan in his heart became much more and more serious.
Xie Shan continued: "You may not know, I am an orphan. If it weren't for the pity of our former old valley lord who took me in, I'm afraid I would have starved to death on the streets."
Lan Xiaorui was surprised: "The former old valley master. That is, my brother-in-law's grandfather, the old valley master of Luo Subai"?
Xie Shan nodded and said, "Exactly." I was born in a time of turmoil, which coincided with the great famine in my hometown, and some of my family members were killed by bandits and some starved to death. I fled to life alone, and just as I was about to starve to death, it was the old valley lord who was passing by who took me in and took me back to the valley of falling snow. After that, not only did I have a bite to eat, but the old valley master taught me carefully. If it weren't for his old man's earnest teachings, how would I have survived to this day, and how would I have been able to sit where I am today."
Lan Xiaorui couldn't help admiring: "I have long heard that the lord of Luo Laogu is benevolent, righteous and moral, and his chivalrous reputation is spread all over the world, and he is a good person who helps the needy. Listening to what Uncle Xie said today, I really know the greatness of his old man's fraternity."
"Yes, ......", Xie Shan's eyes were full of respect, and he couldn't help but say loudly: "Although the old valley master is the valley master of the first family of martial arts, he is humble and moderate, never puts on any show, never deceives his friends, and cares for us subordinates."
"This is why in this bloody and bloody rivers and lakes, the Falling Snow Valley can stand for three hundred years and win forever."
Xie Shan suddenly smiled lightly, with a little childishness, and said in a low voice: "At that time, although my identity in the valley was just a servant, everyone treated me very well. The old valley lord treated me like his own child, I was the same age as the current valley master, he treated me like a brother, and never looked down on me because of my identity. Even now, Qingyu and Qingxue, as well as your sister, these three children also respect me very much and treat me as an elder."
Lan Xiaorui said with a smile: "Although Uncle Xie, you experienced hardships in your early years, but fortunately, fate is not too thin for you."
"Yes, although my home has long been broken, but fortunately, God has given me a home ...... again", Xie Shan looked into the distance, scanned the entire Falling Snow Valley for a week, and then took his gaze back, and said in a harmonious voice: "It is here that I feel at home again." After so many years, in fact, I have long regarded this place as my home, and the people here are naturally my family. As you said, why don't I take the lord of the valley and replace him, that is, if I want to hurt my family, then am I still a human being, and what is the difference between this and a beast"?
"It's really ......", Lan Xiaorui said with a straight face: "Isn't it just to live in this world just to make yourself and your family live a little better"?
"Although I, Xie Shan, am not a big person, I am at least still a person, and if I am a human being, I can't do animal things."
Xie Shan seemed to be a little excited, and he was impassioned for a while, and said: "As you said, the biggest difference between humans and animals is that people have affection and righteousness. Therefore, no matter what time comes, I will take good care of my family. To borrow your words, if anyone dares to hurt my family, I will fight for my life, and I will fight with those who intend to hurt my family."
"Good...... It's ......", Lan Xiaorui shouted hello twice in a row, and then said loudly: "It's already terrible for one person to fight for his life, let alone two people now."
"Those two people"?
"Of course it's you and me."
"Me and you"?
"Yes, it's me ...... with you", Lan Xiaorui first pointed at himself with his finger, and then pointed at Xie Shan and said: "Me and you, the two of us, are two people who can fight for their lives to protect their families."
Xie Shan laughed: "In this way, the two of us are very similar."
Lan Xiaorui also laughed and said: "So, no matter who wants to dominate the rivers and lakes, or who wants to be the supreme martial arts leader, it has nothing to do with me, but if anyone dares to hurt my relatives because of their own ambitions and selfish desires, then I will take care of it."
Xie Shan asked lightly: "How to manage"?
Lan Xiaorui's tone was tough, there was no trace of confusion and hesitation between his words, he was absolutely resolute and firm, and said word by word: "Except for ...... Definitely...... I...... Die...... ......".
"Unless you're dead"?
"Yes, unless I die!"
Xie Shan looked at Lan Xiaorui
Lan Xiaorui also looked at Xie Shan.
After a moment of silence, they both chuckled.
Gradually, on this snowy night, in this courtyard in the Falling Snow Valley, there was laughter everywhere for a while.
What kind of laughter is this?
It's laughter mixed with too much affection.
This laughter is full of hope and responsibility, as well as love, love for loved ones.
The laughter was so bright, as if even the moonlight was a little brighter because of the laughter.
