After the hero goes crazy

Chapter 331 Guilt

Luo Ziwen and Duan Changya had already helped Liu Bingzhou back. This old man who had always been in good spirits since he entered the capital of the gods, now his face was gray, as if he had exhausted himself a lot.

Yao Shouning's eyes fell on his head, and he saw that his beard and hair were all white, and the originally vigorous wooden branch on the top of his head had lost its vitality at this moment, and the emerald green leaves curled slightly and drooped down on the top of his head.

"Grandfather—"

With tears in her eyes, she stepped forward, wanting to help Liu Bingzhou's arm.

Liu Bingzhou shook his head, smiled and panted:
"Silly boy." He was a little out of breath, but with a gentle smile:

"What's there to cry about? Nothing major happened today, your father came back safe and sound, and your grandfather didn't die here, it's a good thing."

While speaking, a stream of blood flowed out of his nostrils, and then it was scattered by the water stains on his face and seeped into his mouth.

Realizing this, he calmly reached out and wiped it away.

"you--"

Yao Shouning thought of the previous scene, and was about to speak, when Liu Bingzhou looked at her. Through Liu Bingzhou's eyes, she seemed to see his heart - guilt mixed with anxiety, as well as faint pleas, seemed not to be I hope she will tell the scene she saw in the 'fantasy'.

The girl bit her lip and lowered her head.

"Are you all right?"

Lu Zhi also stepped forward to support Liu Bingzhou, and asked in a low voice.

"It's okay, it's okay." Liu Bingzhou laughed and shook his head with some difficulty.

"Please trouble your son to send me into the house first."

He said 'it's fine', but it seemed that he was struggling to walk at this moment.

Lu Zhi was puzzled.

The power of the Great Confucianism is extraordinary. Liu Bingzhou used methods to repel mosquitoes before, logically speaking, it shouldn't have such an impact on him. Why does Liu Bingzhou seem to consume a lot, as if he used a lot of magic?

But he could see that Liu Bingzhou didn't want to say something, so he didn't ask more questions, but said:
"You wait for me for a while."

Liu Bingzhou nodded.

Lu Zhi stepped into the water and pulled out the long sword that had cut off Feng Zhen's hair from the wall.

The shattered bricks fell into the water with a 'plop', and the turbulence caused made the mosquitoes in the water that had lost their wings swim wildly, but the moment they got close to Shizi, they seemed to sense the 'demon' aura on him, And did not attack him.

He held the hilt of the sword with one hand, and spread the blade in his palm.

This long sword is a new weapon he prepared after losing his original black saber.

But at this time, there were cracks and gaps on the sword body, and he shook his head:

"This sword is indeed incomparable to my previous sword. I have to ask Chen Taiwei to compensate me."

As soon as he finished speaking, he touched the blade of the sword with his right hand, and the sword let out a soft moan, and flew into the air, flying in front of Lu Zhi.

"Go, kill Feng Zhen!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he cast a secret technique, and the power penetrated into the sword body, and the long sword turned into a stream of light, flew into the air, and quickly disappeared without a trace.

After finishing all this, the son returned to Liu Bingzhou, before he could speak, he heard the sound of footsteps coming from inside Yao's house, and then there was a "ping-pong" sound from behind the door, and soon the door latch was opened, Liu and the others panicked. An uneasy figure appeared in front of everyone.

"Shou Ning - Shou Ning -"

Yao Ruoyun hugged and supported Liu Shi, just in time to see Liu Bingzhou and others standing at the door.

Liu's panicked eyes fell on her daughter, first heaved a sigh of relief, then showed guilt and anxiety.

When she was in distress before, she subconsciously grabbed the eldest daughter first, and when she realized that the younger daughter was not by her side, there was already a distance between the two of them.

It wasn't until this moment that Liu Shi finally realized that she had neglected her little daughter.

In the past, she always felt that her eldest son's scientific examination was coming soon, which was related to his future, so she should take it seriously;
The eldest daughter is weak and needs her constant attention.

In contrast, the younger daughter is lively and healthy. She is the youngest of the three children and will spend the longest time with her.

Yao Shouning is the most sensible and never gets angry with her.

The in-law's family she chose for her youngest daughter is also close, and there will always be a chance to make up for it in the future...

Due to these various reasons, she ignored Yao Shouning the most, but she hadn't noticed it before.

Liu remembered that her youngest daughter used to complain that she was 'partisan'. At that time, she thought the child was acting like a spoiled child, but when she looked back now, she found that Yao Shouning hadn't said such words to her for a long time.

She seems to be growing up and becoming sensible unconsciously, these are what Liu Shi had hoped for before, but at this time Liu Shi felt a little scared, as if the child in her palm no longer needed her, and was staggering away from her body. side.

"Shouning..."

Liu hardly dared to look directly into her daughter's eyes, for fear of seeing disappointment and resentment in Yao Shouning's eyes.

She has always been strong and rarely feels guilty like this, but when she mustered up the courage to look up, what she saw was her daughter's understanding eyes.

As always, never get mad at her.

She thinks that she loves her child more than the child loves herself, but at this moment, Liu Shi realizes that she has too many things in her heart, and it is far more pure than the child's love for her.

As soon as this thought came up, she felt even more ashamed, and asked in a low voice:
"Are you OK?"

"It's okay." Yao Shouning shook his head.

With her keen perception, she could feel the guilt in Liu Shi's heart at this time, she suppressed her worries about Liu Bingzhou, took Liu Shi's hand without any grievances, and said:
"Mother, don't worry about me. My sister is weak, and my elder brother is a frail scholar. These mosquitoes have evil spirits. You should have hid in the house earlier."

She softly comforted Liu Shi:

"If I stay outside, I am sure of it. Besides, the prince will protect me, right?"

She turned to look at Lu Zhi with complete trust in her eyes.

Lu Zhi nodded subconsciously, and Liu Shi felt even more sad.

Yao Wanning watched this scene silently. She was ice-snow and smart, and saw her mother's guilt, her sister's free and easy, and her son's protection.

The younger sister has grown up and gradually left the protection of the family and mother. Sooner or later, she will leave the Liu family's wings.

As for the guilt in Yao Ruoyun's heart, when she heard Yao Shouning say that he was just a 'weak scholar', her heart was bleeding.

He thought of his grandfather's extraordinary ability to summon cranes and fight monsters with a wave of his hand, and made a solemn vow in his heart: sooner or later, he will make his younger sister look at him differently.

Everyone was silent for a while, until Liu Bingzhou coughed lightly, Liu Shi came back to his senses and saw his father.

"Father." She was still very guilty towards her daughter, but too many chores distracted her.

Seeing Liu Bingzhou, she immediately shifted her attention and shouted anxiously.

Although she was only a mortal with naked eyes and could not see the change of Liu Bingzhou's spiritual breath, she could see that her father's face was very ugly, and said quickly:

"Let's talk in the house first."

Everyone thought of the mosquitoes before, and felt a little scared to speak outside, so they hurried into the house.

The son came here this time with the intention of the General's Mansion.

Now that the flood came first, and then the monster mosquito appeared, the eldest princess and his wife were worried that the food and drinks prepared by the Yao family were not enough, so they asked Lu Zhi to bring some over.

With Yao's family around, Liu Bingzhou supported by Duan Changya and others, Zheng Shi was busy ordering the servants of Yao's family to pick up things, so Lu Zhi simply took a break and walked by Yao Shouning's side.

"you--"

He secretly glanced at the girl, his eyes were a little tangled.

With his intelligence, he saw all the previous things in his eyes, and he could naturally see the emotional changes between Liu Shi and Yao Shouning.

In his opinion, Liu's apology is tantamount to another injury.

His family was harmonious, Zhu Hengrui and Lu Wuji had only one son, he was born to be favored, no matter at home or in Shenwumen, he was highly valued, never thought that the lively and lovely Yao Shouning would grow up in such an environment since he was a child.

But she didn't become bitter and mean because of the influence of her family. On the contrary, she was kind and lovely, and loved her family.

Yao Shouning like this undoubtedly made him fall in love even more.

"Shouning." Lu Zhi didn't know how to speak, but Yao Shouning didn't take the previous matter to heart, and just responded sullenly.

"Why are you unhappy?" Shizi asked in a low voice.

"I'm worried about my grandfather." The two huddled together and spoke softly.

The adults in front were busy on their own, Liu Bingzhou's weakness attracted everyone's attention, the two fell behind, and no one noticed for a while.

The prince held up an umbrella, and the rain fell from the edge of the umbrella, forming a small peaceful world.

Lu Zhi was the one who knew Yao Shouning's secrets the most. In front of him, she could speak freely and tell him all the worries in her heart.

"Grandfather's inscription is not to disperse mosquitoes for a while, but to disperse mosquitoes for a day."

Beneath her cheerful appearance is a soft and meticulous heart. She noticed that in the inscription, Liu Bingzhou wrote 'January 29, [-]th year of Daqing'.

It was also because of this that she understood why her grandfather was so weak just to disperse the swarms of insects, and also realized that under his calm and gentle appearance, there was a heart of compassion for everyone in the world.

He is not afraid of others' accusations and reprimands, and he doesn't care about gain and fame, and only wants to do things with a clear conscience.

She 'saw' the guilt in Liu Bingzhou's heart, and remembered her dream last night.

In the dream, the demon mosquitoes should have been littered with corpses, but there is obviously a reason for the change in reality.

Liu Bingzhou taught her that the more capable a person is, the more restrained he should be, and he should not do whatever he wants - obviously this elder failed to do what he said that day.

Under natural disasters and monster disasters, he couldn't hold back the kindness in his heart, and took action to change some history.

With her extraordinary intuition, she guessed what was on Liu Bingzhou's mind.

The moment the grandparent and grandson looked at each other, Liu Bingzhou should also understand that his secret could not be hidden in front of her, so he felt ashamed besides embarrassment.

Yao Shouning suddenly felt a little bored, and asked in a low voice:

"My son, why do you think I should grow up?"

She doesn't like growing up at all.

In the past few months, she seems to have grown a lot at once. This growth is not only the awakening of strength, but also includes other aspects. She can easily spy on Liu Bingzhou's mind, and can see through Liu's guilt. It can no longer be as simple as before. Happiness—because she already knows how to tolerate and forgive, but she lacks the self-willedness of a girl.

She complained softly:

"I used to be happy when I read a book, and I was happy when I had snacks, and I was happy when my mother didn't scold me—"

But now she can see through other people's thoughts but can't say it, and she has to comfort Liu's guilt when she sees it, as if she suddenly lost her original innocence.

"You are also very happy now." Shizi replied to her.

Yao Shouning raised his head in bewilderment, as if he didn't understand what he meant.

Her hair was wet, and there was still moisture on the hairs of her eyes. Those eyes were big and watery, and Shi Zi's heart jumped twice when he saw them.

The rain surrounded the two of them, and she asked foolishly:
"Where am I happy?"

"You're the happiest when you hurt me." Lu Zhi said intentionally.

'puff! ' She was really amused, and reached out to pat his forearm holding the umbrella:

"Nonsense, I didn't!"

"Why not?" Seeing her smile, the prince's heart was as sweet as honey, but he said:
"You called me cow dung before."

"I never said that!" Yao Shouning categorically denied, but the cloud hanging over her brows gradually dissipated as she quarreled with the prince, her eyes curved into shallow smile lines, she bit her lip, restrained the corners of her mouth from rising, and tried her best to defend herself by:

"You wronged me."

"I didn't. That's what you said about me when you were in Daiwang's Underground Palace." Shi Zi was very cautious about turning over old accounts, but Yao Shouning felt a smile rolling in his chest.

When they were in Dai Wang's underground palace that day, the atmosphere was obviously eerie and terrifying, and the two of them were also extremely thrilling. They had almost died together in that snake spirit, but when they recalled it at this time, they felt extremely warm.

"Why would I say that? You saved my mother and helped my sister. There must be a misunderstanding." She smiled and shook her head, refusing to admit it.

At this time, the girl swept away the previous disappointment, her unhappiness came and went quickly, and she smiled brightly, watching Lu Zhi's heart beating non-stop.

"Okay." Lu Zhi nodded, pretending that he misunderstood. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the girl secretly smiling, so he couldn't help laughing too, and asked her:

"Shouning, after the river recedes, I'll take you to play and relax."

After he finished speaking, he reflected on his tone and felt that his tone seemed too strong, afraid of offending her, he added another sentence:
"OK?"

It wasn't the first time Lu Zhi asked her out, but it was the first time he was so nervous, afraid of being rejected by her.

"Of course." Yao Shouning nodded, and asked curiously:

"Are you going to dig a grave?"

"..." Shizi was speechless, and then categorically denied:

"of course not."

He immediately remembered that the two of them had traveled several times, which seemed to be related to digging graves, and couldn't help laughing:

"At least not this time."

After finishing speaking, he said a little bit awkwardly:
"There is the Shangsi Festival in March. In previous years, the city of Shendu would cancel the curfew. On that day, it was very lively. The city was full of lights in the middle of the night. Many people would play by the river and go to the evil to wash. It is said that it is very fun. of."

This is his first date.

It's not for investigating the evil spirits, nor for the identity of the 'River God'. It has nothing to do with any big or small things, but he wants to walk with Yao Shouning.

Having said that, he was a little worried:
"I just don't know if the disaster has been dealt with at that time—"

Now the city is full of floods. This morning, the water in the city was flooded outside the city, and many fields were flooded. Fortunately, it was not a busy time for farming, otherwise the losses of the people would have been even greater.
