Chapter 7: The Old Beggars and the Little Beggars
The words fell, and the person who spoke had not yet walked in from outside the door, but the little demon here was already impatiently running towards the door, shouting as he ran: "Brother Xingxing, Brother Xingxing, you have come to see the demon."
Yes, the owner of this sudden voice is none other than Mo Xingheng. In fact, except for the old beggar who had never seen him, everyone else heard from the voice that it was him. Yun Ren and the others were not the slightest surprised because Mo Xingheng entered the Yun Mansion, this is because the Yun Demon likes to play with Mo Xingheng, and Yun Ren and his wife are not vulgar people, and they will not look at Mo Xingheng with a worldly vision and attitude, not to mention that Mo Xingheng, this child is very smart and sensible, and he likes the two of them very much, and even wanted to accept him as a righteous son for a while, but Mo Xingheng himself refused for some reasons, so the matter was stopped. However, Yun Ren sent a message to the people of Yun Mansion, and Yun Mansion allowed him to enter and exit freely, so that Mo Xingheng could directly enter Yun Mansion without prior notification from his subordinates.
"Youqi, I'm here. Mo Xingheng grabbed the little demon who ran over. This little girl is always so jubilant every time she sees him, which makes him feel very happy. Then, habitually bent his fingers into a hook and scratched the cute little Yao nose of the little demon. Naturally, it once again aroused the dissatisfaction of the little demon, and she only heard her shout: "Brother Stinky Star, don't scratch the demon's nose, no matter how much you shave, it's not beautiful." When everyone heard this, they all laughed.
After everyone laughed, Mo Xingheng led the little demon to Yun Ren and the three of them, and said, "I've seen Uncle Yun, Aunt Yun, and Steward Liu." Xingheng is bothering again. β
Yun Ren and the three of them are all smiling, they also really like this child, although he is young and his life experience is very miserable, but he has a sense of arrogance, and he is polite and kind-hearted, and he is much more sensible than children of the same age.
Yun Ren smiled and nodded, and when he was about to speak, the old beggar on the side suddenly spoke, intercepted the conversation, and only listened to him: "Little doll, whose child are you? Why do you want to answer the old beggar's question?" Although the words were not polite, he was surprised by this little doll in his heart, and sighed in his heart, what a powerful little doll, I don't want to have such extraordinary talents at such a young age.
Hearing that the old beggar's words had the meaning of questioning, the little demon demon immediately stood up and went crazy to defend her star brother. It was Mo Xingheng who grabbed her in time to prevent things from happening.
"Brother Xingxing, what are you doing?" the little demon was pulled by Mo Xingheng, very puzzled and annoyed in his heart, and shouted at Mo Xingheng dissatisfied.
"Demon, good. You're watching from the side. Brother Xingxing will deal with it" Mo Xingheng smiled bitterly in his heart, but he still tried his best to appease the demon. This little girl is good to him, but she is a little too good, and she can't see anyone bullying him, otherwise she must be mad.
"Hmph!" The little demon pursed his mouth, parted his little face, turned his head sideways and didn't pay attention to Mo Xingheng, this appearance was clearly angry with him, but he really didn't care about Mo Xingheng's affairs anymore. It seems that she listens to Mo Xingheng's words very much.
Yun Ren and his wife saw the scene that happened in front of their eyes, and they really had a special feeling in their hearts, and the two glanced at each other, and they both saw a trace of helplessness and a wry smile in each other's eyes. Their precious daughter has always been not afraid of heaven and earth, and she refuses to listen to anyone's words, even they, as parents, have to follow everything according to it, but they didn't expect to obey the words of an outsider and a child so much now, which really makes them cry and laugh.
The thoughts of the two of them, Mo Xingheng definitely didn't know, he only knew that he seemed to have accidentally robbed the white-bearded old man in front of him, which made the other party angry, and now he should apologize to the other party, so he walked up to the old beggar, bowed respectfully, and said sincerely: "Old man, I'm sorry." It's all about Xingheng's recklessness, robbing you of your problems and making you angry. Please forgive me!"
Mo Xingheng's sincere humble words made the old beggar's whole body feel very comfortable, and the unhappiness before was all dissipated, and then he couldn't help but carefully look at the little boy in front of him who was seven or eight years old and wearing a tattered cotton jacket, the more he looked at it, the happier he was, and suddenly his half-squinted eyes flashed a fleeting light, which appeared so quickly that no one present noticed it except himself.
After looking at Mo Xingheng for a while, the old beggar slowly opened his mouth and asked, "Little doll, your name is Xingheng, what is your surname, where are you, and who are your parents?"
Hearing the other party ask about his life experience, Mo Xingheng's star-like eyes flashed a trace of gloom, and he sighed slightly in his heart, his expression looked a little sad in an instant, but this look only stayed on him for a very short time, and after a blink of an eye, his expression returned to his usual confident and cheerful appearance, as if the color of the sadness at that moment had never appeared, and he replied with a smile: " Old man, the boy's name is Mo Xingheng, I am an orphan, I have been living on the street since I was a child, and I was raised by a kind beggar grandfather" When he said this, his voice couldn't help but stop, and a faint sadness appeared on his face, and his voice had become low when he spoke again, "It's just that his old man passed away two years ago." At this point, he paused again, Mo Xingheng lowered his head and took a deep breath secretly, suppressing all those sad and unhappy emotions, and his face once again glowed with confidence and cheerfulness.
Then he looked up at the old beggar and said in a free tone, "So old man, I don't know where I am from, let alone who my parents are." β
The old beggar stared at Mo Xingheng deeply, secretly thinking about it, all the changes in Mo Xingheng's expression were seen by him, and he was very surprised by this, but he had such an extraordinary mind at a young age, with his decades of experience in reading people and seeing people, this son will grow up, and he will definitely be very human in the future, and he will definitely have some good deeds!
Yun Ren and Steward Liu also saw all this in their eyes, and they also appreciated Mo Xingheng's mind, open-mindedness and tenacious perseverance, which is why they liked Mo Xingheng so much like a beggar orphan, and even Yun Ren would allow his most precious daughter to play with him. And Fang Shuying, as a woman, is a mother, in addition to appreciation, in her heart, it is more of a mother's love and pity, she feels that Mo Xingheng's child is too bitter. The stronger he behaved, the more she felt sad.
After examining it for a long time, the old beggar suddenly laughed, "Haha, haha!" After laughing, the old beggar looked at Mo Xingheng with burning eyes and said: "Little doll, I don't know what it matters, as long as you let yourself live happily and happily now, you don't have to pay attention to too many things." β
Mo Xingheng suddenly felt refreshed, his whole body had a feeling of lightness, indescribably comfortable, all the sad and unhappy emotions that had been pressed in his heart before disappeared at this moment, he was very surprised by this situation in his heart, and his little face couldn't help but appear surprised, but he didn't think much about it, let alone feel afraid, just as it was a blessing from God, in the face of the old beggar's words, he laughed and said, "Grandpa, you are right." Then, his tone changed, and he asked a little mischievously: "Then, old man, are you still angry with me, do you blame me for robbing your question?"
"You little doll, when has the old beggar ever been angry with you!" the old beggar said with a smile in his eyes. After Mo Xingheng heard the old beggar's words, he scratched the back of his head with some embarrassment, and stood there laughing without saying a word.
The old beggar really didn't get angry with Mo Xingheng, he was just surprised that he was able to match the little demon so neatly, it was a perfect match! Although Mo Xingheng's mind is much more mature than that of his peers, after all, he is still an eight-year-old child, how can he distinguish the mind of such a master as an old beggar.
Besides, with the identity and bearing of an old beggar, how could he be concerned with a child like him, on the contrary, he liked this child very much, just now he secretly used a magical technique to soothe Mo Xingheng's heart, so Mo Xingheng felt that all his troubles suddenly disappeared, and his whole body was extremely comfortable. That is, if he doesn't understand martial arts, he can't detect the true qi and add his body, so he naively thinks that it is a blessing from God, but then again, with the cultivation of the old beggar, even if he knows martial arts, he can't detect it, not to mention that this is a kind of martial arts that has been lost for hundreds of years, and nine out of ten people in the current martial arts have never heard of it, let alone know it. Don't say anything else, just take Fang Shuying and Steward Liu in front of him, one of these two is from the Mingyu faction of the famous martial arts sect of the nine major sects of martial arts, and the master is knowledgeable in martial arts and has a deep accumulation, and he must be familiar with a lot of martial arts stories and sect martial arts, and Steward Liu has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years in his early years, and he can be said to be well-informed, and he must know a lot of martial arts exercises, but these two can be called first-class figures in today's martial arts in terms of both knowledge and martial artsγ
Mo Xingheng laughed embarrassedly, and the old beggar didn't mean to speak again. At this time, Yun Ren, who had not had a chance to speak since Mo Xingheng came in, seized the gap between the two of them to interject and said to Mo Xingheng gently: "Xingheng, I am here today, just leave after eating, and I am not allowed to postpone it any longer." β
Before Mo Xingheng could answer, the cloud demon who had been silent for a long time had already spoken again, only to see her take Mo Xingheng's hands again, and couldn't wait to say loudly: "Brother Xingxing, you are not allowed to refuse Daddy's request, this time you are not allowed to leave again, you must have eaten." β
Mo Xingheng glanced at Yun Ren apologetically, then looked at the anxious little demon, and comforted softly: "Okay, I won't leave this time, I'll stay and eat, okay?"
"Oh, yes! Brother Xingxing finally agreed to stay and eat. The demon is so happy!" The little demon heard that Mo Xingheng promised to stay and eat together, and happily took Mo Xingheng's hand and jumped and jumped. It looked like I had gotten some of the most precious toys.
In fact, there is a reason why the little demon feels so happy because Mo Xingheng stayed to eat. It turned out that although Mo Xingheng had the right to enter and leave the Yun Mansion freely, he rarely entered the Yun Mansion, every time he looked at the demon at the gate of the Yun Mansion and then left, and even if he entered the Yun Mansion, he never refused to stay and eat together, no matter how Yun Ren and the others retained, they could not change his decision. In this way, the little demon has been disappointed several times, but today she suddenly realized this wish that she had been looking forward to, and in the face of this sudden surprise, she was naturally very happy.
Not to mention that the little demon is happy, even Yunren and his wife are very happy. In their eyes, Mo Xingheng is a good kid everywhere, but his temper is too stubborn and he has strong self-esteem. It made them want to be nice to him and didn't know what to do. Now that he is willing to stay for dinner, it means that he is closer to them in his heart, and they will have the opportunity to treat him better in the future. Besides, now that their precious daughter is so happy about this, of course they are happy.
Yun Ren walked up to the old beggar with a smile on his face, hugged his fists and saluted: "Old man, you see that noon is approaching, I have already prepared a table of banquets in the hall, it is better to move over now, Yun Mou will have a few drinks with the old man later! Wait until the full moon tonight, when this snow lotus ice is brewed to the most mellow and fragrant, and then open your stomach and drink happily!"
The old beggar smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "There is no urgency in this matter, Ling Yan and I still have unfinished business, and after this matter is over, it is not too late to go to dinner." β
"Eh, this ......" Yun Ren was stunned, he didn't expect the old beggar to have such a show, and he was speechless for a while.
And the old beggar had obviously decided to do this, so after saying that, he stopped paying attention to Yun Ren and turned his head to stare at the little demon demon.
The little demon put down the little hand that had been holding Mo Xingheng, and then jumped in front of the old beggar step by step, raised his little head, and shouted at him angrily: "Hey, beggar grandpa, you haven't answered two questions, are you sure you want to continue?"
The old beggar's face turned red, and he hurriedly opened his mouth to justify: "Little girl, don't talk nonsense, where are there two, just one." The old beggar only admitted that the first question could not be answered, and the second question was still thinking about it, and did not admit that it could not be answered. It's this kid, yes, it's all this stinky boy, and he hurriedly answered" Speaking of this, the old beggar immediately turned his head and pointed at Mo Xingheng on the other side, and shouted angrily, "Who let you meddle with this kid, do you think the old beggar can't come up?" I just haven't thought about it yet. β
