Chapter Forty-Eight: The Goodness of This Moment
The appearance of the old man put a lot of pressure on Hou Ping'an and them, especially Qin Hao and the Yue brothers who were still in the village and faced the old man. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
This feeling of danger had only been experienced by them when their father was really angry.
Still, Daddy's anger won't make them have this threat of death, but this man does.
The old man just looked at a few people with his spare eyes, and then shifted his attention to Ah Hua.
Ah Hua was still immersed in sadness, and she didn't hear Hou Ping'an's reminder at all, let alone notice the appearance of the old man.
The old man looked at Ah Hua, and his gaze gradually softened. This made Qin Hao and the others all breathe a sigh of relief, but they didn't let their guard down.
In the case of not knowing friend or foe, we must be vigilant enough against anyone, this is the truth they learned from Lao Hu.
The old man seemed to be reminiscing, and it was like remembering. The sad expression remained on his face and did not fade, and after a while, his eyes slowly became clear.
"Ah Hua?" the old man's words were uncertain. I don't know if it's because I'm not sure about the name Ah Hua or if I'm not sure about her identity.
Ah Hua, who buried her face between her legs, heard someone call her name, and the voice was still a little familiar, so she gradually raised her head.
When she saw this blurred figure in front of her, she still didn't believe it. It wasn't until she wiped away her tears and saw the person in front of her clearly that she was sure she was not mistaken.
"Old Patriarch Grandpa ......"
After such a simple sound, Ah Hua couldn't say any more, only crying was left telling her sadness.
The old man ignored the few people in front of him, walked past them, and slowly walked towards Ah Hua.
After Qin Hao and the others walked over, they quickly came out of the village and came to Hou Ping'an and them.
"Monkey, who do you say this old man is?" Qin Hao wanted to know how this old man survived in such a situation of annihilation.
"Mouse, are you stupid? Didn't Ah Hua call him the old patriarch just now?" Yue Niu was still so direct, he didn't understand the subtext of Qin Hao's words at all.
"I don't know, but I guess it's the hope left by the Tiger Clan. ā
"Hope? What kind of hope, the reproduction and inheritance of the tribe? It depends on him alone? Even if you add Xiaohua and the old man on the other side of the Tiger Leaping Gorge, there are only three people left in their clan, and the three of them are like completing the inheritance of the tribe, isn't it a bit fantastical?"
Hou Ping'an didn't know about Qin Hao's question, but since the whole clan died in battle, leaving only this old man, then there must be a purpose.
As for whether this old man was greedy for life and afraid of death? From the first time he saw him, Hou Ping'an vetoed this idea.
How could a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death have the terrifying and indifferent eyes just now.
"Why can't it be? Didn't the monkey say that if you give him a woman, he will create a family?"
At a time when everyone was thinking about what was going on in this group, Yue Xiong suddenly popped up such a joke that Hou Ping'an once said, and almost choked a few people to death. I don't know if the potion that Yue Laoqi used to soak their bodies at the beginning had the side effect of degrading intelligence.
"Brother, let's not talk, look at the mouse's eyes, this guy is obviously disgusted with us. ā
Qin Hao actually wanted to say that I didn't dislike you, but I thought that this was not the time to argue, so I swallowed the words back to my mouth.
He is not as thick as the brothers of the Yue family, he, like Hou Ping'an, knows the severity.
They came to southern Xinjiang to travel, but now it seems that southern Xinjiang has become unbearable, and if they continue to travel, several people may even be threatened with their lives. If Hou Dahai and the others knew about this, maybe they would send someone to chase them and let them go back.
But for a few of them who were just in the rebellious period, it was enough to be aggrieved that they couldn't go to the Central Plains, and if they couldn't even go to southern Xinjiang, wouldn't this trip be an untimely death?
Regarding this point, in fact, Hou Ping'an thought of it when he was in Tiger Leaping Gorge. Lao Hu started to move north because of the chaos in the south, so Hou Dahai, who accepted Lao Hu, ignored it.
Since he knows and is willing to wait for them to go south, then his unreliable father must have his own goals and considerations. Maybe when Hou Ping'an and them are in danger, it is possible that his father will appear immediately. Perhaps, now not far from them, there are people from the Hundred Swords Villa.
The old man took Ah Hua's hand and came to Hou Ping'an and them. Ah Hu may have sensed danger, or he didn't like the old man, but when the old man came, he retreated far away from what he thought was safe enough.
Xiao Huang also followed Ah Hu and retreated, originally Xiao Bai also wanted to leave, but when he saw that Hou Ping'an didn't leave, he didn't leave. Now he looks like he is in a state of attack like a great enemy, no matter how Hou Ping'an appeases him, it is useless.
"Are you from Da Zhou? Can you do me a favor? My clan is all dead, and Ah Hua is left alone, but I don't worry about her continuing to live here, I hope you can take her to Da Zhou, even if it is to be a maid for you, I don't mind, I just hope that one day in the future, Ah Hua can be allowed to return here." ā
The old man's words made Hou Ping'an a little surprised. He didn't quite understand why this old man entrusted Ah Hua to himself, why did he trust himself so much, could it be that he made a decision when there was no way out?
"But I'm going to travel south, and I'm not going back anytime soon. Hou Ping'an wanted to refuse directly, but he didn't know why the words became like this. Perhaps for a person like him who has grown up under the red flag, it is a good thing to be able to maintain a kindness in his heart and let the world have more kindness.
"It's okay, as long as you don't let Ah Hua's identity as a tiger be revealed. The old man looked at Ah Hua, although his face was like an elder caring for the junior, but his eyes were full of ruthless coldness.
This is a look that Hou Ping'an has never seen before. He didn't know what the old man and Ah Hua had just said, and he didn't know what Ah Hua was going to do back here in the future, but he felt that taking a little girl was not a big deal. It's just that there is one more tour guide who is better than Ah Hu, a half-baked guide.
After Hou Ping'an agreed to take Ah Hua in, the old man solemnly made a big gift from their clan.
The etiquette is very heavy, but Hou Ping'an is at ease. He knew that this would not end there.
It's just that he doesn't know if this matter will involve him in the future, and how much it will cost him.
I hope that the kindness at this moment will not end in a kind of ending of repaying virtue with resentment.
