After the hero goes crazy

Chapter 353 Mother and Daughter

The Fox King was surprised at first, and then delighted again.

This scourge has lived for many years, and it should have been enough.

He is moody and has a repetitive temper. It would be better if he died at this time.

Although he knew that this conjecture was impossible, the shadow in the midair still turned into a gust of wind and flew to the sky above Chen Taiwei.

I saw the young and handsome Taoist priest plummeting straight down, the crown of his hair was scattered under the gust of wind, and his hair was flying in disorder.

The originally silent evil spirit in the ground began to surge, like a awakened cloud.

The black air moved, like a rushing sea tide, rushing upwards with lightning speed.

Chen Taiwei opened his arms, his sleeves were filled with the wind, he looked at the Fox King from a long distance away, as if he could see through the scarlet eyes, the inner plan of the demon fox, and there was a hint of sarcasm on his face.

The evil aura climbed up layer by layer, as if he wanted to 'catch' Chen Taiwei, but he didn't resist, and let the black aura wrap around him.

"not good!"

Such a thought flashed through Fox King's mind.

These evil spirits were very terrifying, but looking at Chen Taiwei's appearance, he didn't seem to have any trace of fear.

He himself was the biggest source of evil spirit, the moment the two combined, and then merged into one, he allowed the evil spirit to be engulfed and merged with the black energy.

"Damn it!" Fox King knew that he was using this to escape, but he had already lost the chance to keep him.

The black air surged upwards, and it seemed to be mixed with the howling of ghosts and ghosts.

Even the Fox King of the Sky Demon Clan, under the accumulated resentment for many years, did not dare to take advantage of his sharpness. He could only take advantage of the moment when the black energy swept over him, and disappeared into the air in a flash.

Time passed day by day, and Shendu City was slowly recovering.

Because of Gu Hou's death, Emperor Shenqi "pityed" Gu Huanzhi's wife who died first, and then lost his beloved daughter, and specially allowed him to put aside the important affairs of the court, rest at home, and come back when he recovers—this is a disguised form of seizing Gu Huan's hands permissions.

In Shendu City, the casualties that should have been caused by the appearance of the Blood Mosquito Gu did not happen. The medicine given by Chen Taiwei in Daming Palace had excellent effects, and many people saved their lives.

All of a sudden, the name of the national teacher Chen Taiwei spread throughout the gods, and the Daming Palace replaced the Qingfeng Temple and became the place where incense was at its peak.

When the time comes to March, spring returns to the earth and everything recovers.

Yao Hui's injury has healed a lot, and he can already walk alone without crutches.

After lying down for a long time, he felt that his body was not as flexible as before, so he couldn't hold back and wanted to practice martial arts.

Yao Hui was born in the army back then, and was used to dancing knives and spears. This time, he was injured. He was raised under Liu's eyes for more than two months, and his bones ached from lying down.

There were originally stone locks in the courtyard, but the family was flooded during the flood, and the Liu family used them to pave the way for footsteps in the courtyard.

After the flood receded, the stones in the courtyard were cleared away, and the stone locks used by Yao Hui for practicing kung fu were also piled up in the corner. At this time, a little moss had already grown.

After a long time of not playing with it, the stone lock has long been covered with mud and connected to the ground.

Yao Hui stretched out his hand to grab the chain, but as soon as he moved his hand, Yao Shouning stared at him:
"Father, what are you doing?"

After the flood subsided, the Liu family got busy.

The damaged house of the family needs to be repaired, and the missing things need to be purchased. With the arrival of Su Wenfang, the family does not have enough staff.

She was so busy running around that she couldn't take care of Yao Hui.

But after being married for many years, she knew Yao Hui's character well, and before leaving the house, she ordered Yao Shouning to keep a close eye on his father and not allow him to practice martial arts, so as not to cause problems with the hard-earned bones.

"I just want to see—" Yao Hui was called by his daughter, he paused, bent down to hold the chain in his hand, Yao Shouning said earnestly:

"Father, bear with me, your bones have just healed."

She persuaded:

"Mother said, if you don't take good care of your muscles and bones for a hundred days, if you don't take care of it right now, you will have troubles in the future."

Yao Hui sneered:

"I've already healed it a long time ago, but your mother loves to worry about it. If you don't believe me, I'll show you a..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Yao Shouning staring at him.

The young girl's expression was firm, obviously she had Liu Shi's entrustment, and she would not allow him to act willfully.

He sighed and dropped the chain in his hand——

In the sound of 'clang', the thing fell back to the ground, and Yao Hui said with some distress:
"After lying down for more than two months, I couldn't walk here or move there. I felt that my strength was getting weaker."

The commander of the North City Army and Horse Division cannot be a sick man, he has to deal with some bandits and local ruffians. If he continues to recuperate like this, when he returns to the Yamen, his skills will not be as flexible as before.

Knowing that he couldn't be idle, Yao Shouning stepped forward to help him, glanced at the stone lock out of the corner of his eye, and said with some surprise:

"Father, there are sprouts."

Yao Hui followed her words and turned his head to look, and saw Shi Suo leaning on a small tree.

It was a magnolia tree, which was planted a few years ago, and now it is more than ten feet tall. Every year when it comes to flowering, the fragrance is so strong that it can be smelled from far away.

It's just that this year, after the impact of heavy rains and floods, the branches have already broken off. Everyone thought the tree was dead. Two days ago, Mrs. Liu was still sighing that she might not smell the fragrance again this year, but she didn't expect that the tree would come out from under the tree. A new seedling.

Yao Hui glanced at it, and was not very interested in the sapling, but seeing his daughter happy, he smiled and nodded: "This tree has such strong vitality."

"That's great." Yao Shouning squatted down, carefully looked at the new seedling, turned around and saw his father bent down to look at her, he couldn't help feeling soft, and said with a smile:

"Father, your body has not fully recovered, so you can't practice martial arts, but you can practice big brother!"

Yao Hui was taken aback for a moment, and Yao Shouning came up with an idea:
"Brother studies all the year round and neglects to exercise his body. He happened to learn boxing and martial arts from you to keep fit. Mother won't blame you, but she will think that you are doing well."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yao Hui immediately realized, with a happy expression on his face.

"You're right." He came to the spirit:

"Ruoyun has been fine recently, squatting at home every day. Although reading is important, it's not okay for a man to be so thin that he can be blown away by a gust of wind."

After he finished speaking, he added:
"Qingchun can also practice, I'll go find them, you can play by yourself."

As soon as the voice fell, he ran out like a gust of wind.

"..."

Dong Kui watched Yao Hui leave, and said sympathetically:
"Poor young master."

Yao Shouning was about to speak when she suddenly heard someone calling her outside.

"Second miss, second miss."

The visitor was Yu Yin who was beside Wen Xianrong. When she saw Yao Shouning, she was very affectionate. She said something before expressing her intentions:
"The day after tomorrow is the Shangsi Festival. My lady heard that this year's Shangsi Festival will be very lively. I would like to invite you to go out and play together."

Due to the heavy rain this year, the Chinese New Year is not very lively.

Later, it experienced many catastrophes and catastrophes, resulting in the death of many people in the city, and it has not yet recovered.

The imperial court thought it was not auspicious, so they wanted to organize a sacrifice. They wanted to use three animals as sacrifices on March [-]rd to sacrifice to the "God of the River", and finally distributed the sacrifices to the onlookers in public.

The altar was set up half a month ago, and the news had already spread, and many people were looking forward to this day.

The Wen family is not peaceful this year either. Wen Xianrong has rarely gone out to participate in activities in the past six months. Mrs. Wen loves her daughter who has been stuck at home for a long time. Now that the family situation is better, she is allowed to go out.

She sent Yu Yin beside her to invite Yao Shouning to go with her. Yu Yin said:
"Don't worry if there are too many people, our young master will go with us to protect the two ladies, and nothing will happen."

If it were any other time, Yao Shouning might have agreed to Wen Xianrong's invitation.

But she had already promised Lu Zhi that she would go out with him on March [-]rd and continue to search for the traces of the 'River God', so naturally she had no choice but to refuse Wen Xianrong.

"I may not be able to go with Xian Rong." She shook her head.

A look of sympathy appeared on Yuyin's face:
"Second Miss, can't you go out?"

The Liu family has a strict reputation and has always been strict with her daughter.

Yao Shouning shook his head, and seriously dispelled the rumors for his mother:

"No, I have already made an appointment with someone, and I will go out together on the Shangsi Festival, so I can't go with Xianrong."

When Yuyin heard this, she smiled and said:
"If that's the case, we can all come together, it's so crowded..."

Yao Shouning shook his head again:
"It probably won't work."

She and Shizi are out for business, so it's inconvenient if there are too many people.

When Yao Shouning refused, Yuyin's face showed curiosity.

Out of politeness, she didn't ask any more questions, but she said in her heart: Strange, who did Miss Shouning date?Her best friend is my lady, and now she has rejected my lady's invitation, which lady did she agree to travel with?

She thought in her heart: Ms. Shouning doesn't want everyone to go together, so she wants to be alone with each other. Could it be, could it be that it is not a young lady, but a young master? ——My poor young master...

"..."

Yao Shouning's cheeks flushed instantly when he heard her heartfelt voice.

She wanted to explain that the situation between herself and Lu Zhi was not what Yu Yin thought, but Yu Yin thought about it in her heart, but she didn't say anything. If she took the initiative to mention it, she might scare Yu Yin, so she had no choice but to feel ashamed and embarrassed the way:

"I, I have an appointment with Miss Zhu!"

Yao Shouning emphasized 'Miss Zhu', and his tone was so heavy that both Dong Kui and Yu Yin secretly exchanged glances, seeing that something was wrong with her expression.

"This Miss Zhu is someone close to the princess. Last time, Dong Kui also knew about it. He, she, and she have not been here for a long time. She is a little shy and embarrassed to walk with others. That's why I, I am inconvenient to agree and present her fellow..."

She stammered the explanation, but she didn't expect the description to get darker and darker. This time, Dong Kui also shouted in her heart: Isn't this 'Miss Zhu' the prince?The lady has an appointment with the prince, why don't you tell Miss Wen?The two of them have a close relationship and have always talked about everything. At this time, the lady chose to hide it. It can be seen that she wants to be alone with the prince, and she is a little shy. It seems that the day after tomorrow I have to find a way to invite people to play, and I can't stand by the lady's side to block her eyes. the...

Yuyin also said in her heart: Miss Shouning stutters and speaks, and she is telling lies at first glance. This is too contemptuous of my Yuyin's eyesight.She blushed, showing embarrassment.There must be something wrong with this Ms. Zhu, I will tell my lady later, to find out who this so-called 'Miss Zhu' is, I am really curious...

"..."

Yao Shouning's face was blushing, and he wanted to speak, but he didn't know where to start.

Seeing Yu Yin and Mong Kui exchanging a knowing expression, Yu Yin said respectfully:

"Since Miss Shouning has an appointment, forget it, since they are all in the city anyway, maybe we can meet again when the time comes."

Yao Shouning nodded helplessly:
"Uh-huh."

After sending Yu Yin away, Yao Shouning turned to look at the curious Mallow:
"you……"

"I will also have an appointment with someone then." Mong Kui rolled her round eyes:
"My wife said, we are still young, and we are bored at home during this period of time. We can go out to play when the time comes, but we need to make more appointments, so as not to get lost." She looked at Yao Shouning:
"Miss, let me take a leave of absence. I have made appointments with Aunt Jiang in the kitchen, Brother Liangcai, and Uncle Zheng."

Having said that, I thought in my heart: I don't want to hinder the eyes of the prince and the young lady.

"..."

Yao Shouning grabbed a strand of hair hanging on his chest, gritted his teeth, and squeezed out two words:
"……All right."

……

On March [-]rd, Mrs. Liu urged Yao Shouning to pack up early.

After learning that her daughter and the eldest son had an appointment for a trip in March, she called a tailor into the mansion at the beginning of February, and asked them to make spring clothes for the children in the family.

The new clothes prepared for Yao Shouning were taken out at this time, and Mrs. Liu personally helped her daughter put them on.

Yao Shouning had already combed her hair. Although she didn't put on any makeup, she used to deliberately suppress her beauty and dress in an old-fashioned way. Now she only needs to make up a little, and she is already very outstanding.

"So lovely."

Looking at her daughter in the copper realm, Mrs. Liu sighed in admiration.

"Mother—" Yao Shouning felt helpless:

"I've said it all, I just went out with Shizi to check on the 'River God', not to..."

She didn't say any more.

The girl's face was both familiar and unfamiliar in the mirror.

Liu Shi combed her hair up for her, tied it into a bun and hung it on both sides of the top of her head.

A little bangs were left on the forehead, revealing a pair of bow-like eyebrows.

The eyes under the eyebrows seem to be full of water, the eyes are clear, black and white are distinct, and the lips under the tip of the nose are not bruised.

And what surprised Yao Shouning the most was the new clothes Liu made for her.

This time, Mrs. Liu cut a dress for her, sweeping away the previous restraint, the top is light goose yellow, with maple leaf red chest-length shirt and skirt.

The Yao family has been quite tight on money recently, so the materials of the clothes are naturally not expensive, but it is this kind of cotton dress that has already made the girl look very beautiful.

Her neck is slender, and the light yellow collar matches her skin, making her skin as white as jade, exuding a pearl-like luster.

There was no embroidery on the long skirt below her body, but even so, the bright color of the morning glow was already the best embellishment.

For a moment, Yao Shouning was afraid to look directly at himself in the mirror, and touched his cheek:
"mother……"

Seeing her movements, Liu Shi couldn't help but soften, and guilt appeared in her eyes.

She bent down and hugged her daughter slowly.

The faces of the mother and daughter were reflected in the bronze mirror, and the two eyes met in the mirror, they were both startled subconsciously, and turned their heads away in unison.

Neither of them seemed to be able to face such an intimate moment, as if they were a little embarrassed and awkward.
