Chapter 239 The past is like smoke...

Chapter 240 The past is like smoke.
"Xia Heita...you, you actually don't listen to me. If you can, don't come back!"

Seeing Xia Heita's determination, Xia Xiaomiao immediately burst into tears, as if she had lost something in her heart and felt a little empty...

Maybe some people are often around you, but you think it's okay, but once these people leave, you will feel that the world has lost its color.

After saying the cruel words, Xia Xiaomiao ignored the dissuasion of others and ran out covering her mouth, as if she didn't want to cry...

After this scene, Li Yunlong saw it in his eyes but had mixed feelings in his heart.

Who says that bandits have no benevolence, it’s just that they have never met a lover...

When a good meeting ended like this, Li Yunlong couldn't help but laugh or cry. He waved his hand and said, "Let's break up. Let's talk about this later!"

The next day, before Xiashan Tiger woke up from his hangover, he was woken up by a burst of shouting in the village.

Xiashanhu turned over on the bed and looked at the sky, only to see the sky was bright. According to past practice, Xiaheita was not only Xiashanhu's adopted son, but also his personal guard. Even the place where he lived was only separated by a wall.

"Why is it so noisy outside, Black Tower..."

Xiashan Hu called his adopted son. If it were normal, Xia Heita would have rushed in with a roar, but after the words fell for a long time, there was no response.

Just when I was about to shout again, I heard the door creak open...

"Dad, are you awake? Get up and wash your face quickly. You drank some corn wine and you didn't listen to me no matter how many times I told you!"

Hearing the nagging of his daughter, the tiger down the mountain has long been accustomed to it, but it is just a matter of carrying face wash. This is the first time a peasant has entered the imperial city!

Seeing that his daughter was acting strangely, Xiashanhu asked in confusion: "Daughter, what's wrong? There's something different about you today. Dad always feels weird..."

Even though he was talking to his daughter, Xia Shanhu kept his tone as slow as possible, for fear of upsetting the little ancestor and possibly being unable to speak for several days.

"What's the matter? My daughter is serving her father like a peep show. If you don't like it, you can wash it yourself. I'm too lazy to do it."

Not only was Xia Shanhu not angry at being pushed down by his daughter, but he laughed and said, "Well... this is my daughter's true style. Dad, get up and wash your face right now. It's been worth the hard work for half a lifetime..."

With that said, Xiashanhu was about to get up and wash his face, but just after he finished speaking, he saw his daughter turning around and secretly wiping her tears. At that moment, her heart felt like being pricked by a needle.

"Daughter, what's wrong?...Is someone bullying you? Tell dad to help you vent your anger! Come on, wipe your tears quickly, but don't cry anymore..."

Originally, he was being served to wash his face, but Xia Xiaomiao cried. How could Xiashanhu still remember this? He quickly wrung out the cloth and handed over the warm washcloth at a loss.

"It's nothing, it's just sand in my eyes..."

Xia Xiaomiao casually found an excuse to excuse her, but she had seen this trick countless times.

After thinking for a moment, Xiashanhu seemed to have remembered something...

"Hey... even if you don't tell me, dad knows what you are doing. Although Heita was brought up by my father, his father also had a life-changing relationship with me. I raised Heita, which can be considered as something for Brother Dong. An explanation!”

"Daughter, Heita doesn't owe us anything. He and I have been serving tea and water to him all these years. If anything happens to you, he will do it for you without even asking why. He never cares about the consequences..."

"Heita is a sensible child. When you were a child, you asked him to call you sister, so he called you sister. He has protected you and helped you all these years. In the early years, he protected you and was almost eaten by a leopard. It's enough to save my life..."

As he talked, Xiashanhu seemed to recall the past, retelling all the past events one by one.

Seeing Xia Xiaomiao, he didn't say a word and just wiped his tears. Xiashanhu sighed deeply and said, "Let him go. Last night, I deliberately pretended to be drunk and couldn't hear. You don't know that he knelt in front of my door for a whole day." For many hours, I didn’t bend down. If Li Yunlong hadn’t asked someone to come over, he would have been worried about something happening to you, so he had to look after you!”

"Miao'er, let Heita go... Dad knows that no matter how many years have passed, he will never let go of his hatred. Have you ever seen him smile in these years?"

After hearing Xia Shanhu's narration, Xia Xiaomiao was surprised to find that Xia Heita always had a bitter face. Although his appetite and strength were terrifying, no one had ever seen him smile. Moreover, Xia Xiaomiao had ignored him since he was a child. Got this detail...

"Dad, I'll bring you food..."

Xia Xiaomiao seemed to have been untied one by one by Xia Xiaomiao, and felt an indescribable guilt.

She felt guilty that she didn't know how to cherish it when she had it, but it was like waking up from a dream when she lost it...

"go Go……"

The tiger descending the mountain held his forehead, feeling an indescribable feeling of powerlessness. He always thought that by occupying the mountain and becoming the king, he could live a peaceful life. However, the country was shattered, the mountains and rivers were shattered, and there was no peace for an inch of land. Wishful thinking could not compete with the general trend of the world.

Chapter 341: Fulfill the promise and release him!

In the square in front of Zhongyi Village, Li Yunlong was supervising the morning exercises of the members of the Kuanglong Special Forces. All the members lined up in a line, shouting and punching the military fists remembered from their previous lives.

Li Yunlong knew that although this kind of boxing method could not train any super special forces soldiers or peerless masters, it could strengthen the body.

There are only seventy-nine members of the Kuanglong Special Forces Team out of a hundred people participating in the morning training...

After the battle in Lannigou, it can be said that the Kuanglong Special Forces Team was exhausted. Originally, Li Yunlong planned to leave this place of right and wrong if he did not agree to fight.

However, several seriously injured brothers in the Kuanglong Special Forces Team are still in coma. Even Liu San, the captain of the Special Forces Team, has just woken up. If they are transferred at this time, the injured brothers may suffer again.

Therefore, Li Yunlong planned to stay in Zhongyi Village for a few more days, waiting for everyone to calm down, and then move on to plan the next step.

After the morning exercise, Li Yunlong looked at the people in Zhongyi Village not far away who were watching the excitement with large and small bowls in their hands. He saw some people squatting, some standing, and some leaning on pillars, all kinds of things.

Shaking his head slightly, Li Yunlong looked at the orderly Kuanglong Special Forces Team, and his eyes now had some color...

If such a group of people were allowed to participate in the attack on Laiyang City, to be honest, Li Yunlong would be worried.

Putting aside such disturbing thoughts, Li Yunlong did not leave the Kuanglong Special Forces idle. After giving each person a bowl of porridge and two steamed buns, he rolled up his sleeves and began to repair the previously damaged fortifications.

"Dong dong dong..."

The hammer hit the wooden piles and made a series of sounds. Others were also busy carrying stones. The seventy-nine people worked enthusiastically in the eyes of one or two hundred people, not caring at all that this was other people's territory.

Just when Li Yunlong was instructing the construction of fortifications, a dozen mighty burly men walked out of the crowd and headed towards Li Yunlong...

When Monk Wei saw this scene, he thought he was looking for trouble, but after seeing Li Yunlong's gesture, he continued to do what he was doing.

"Brigadier Li, you haven't agreed yet whether you will let me join the army. If you want to test me, even if you ask me to move around on the battlefield every day, I am willing!"

Li Yunlong slightly raised his head and looked at Xia Heita's determined eyes. He nodded with satisfaction, then pointed at a group of big men behind Xia Heita and said, "Are you willing, are they willing? Or are they just here to see my attitude?"

Hearing Li Yunlong's question, Xia Heita did not answer immediately. Instead, he turned to look at the brothers behind him. Seeing that no one spoke, he turned back and replied: "All of them!"

After receiving this refreshing answer, Li Yunlong smiled, pointed to the second fortification that had long ago collapsed not far away, and said: "In that case, let's warm up our hands first. The second fortification can be demolished, leaving only the second fortification. The first and third passages, the several hundred meters long passage in the middle is the little devil’s grave!”

"Yes!" Xia Heita replied briefly and forcefully, and led the people to the second damaged defense fortifications to start working. In one fell swoop, they found a large stone weighing more than 200 kilograms. Even Kuanglong The members of the special forces team were all stunned.

"Brigadier Li, my adopted son is born with great strength. If he had a foundation in martial arts since he was a child, I'm afraid no one within a hundred miles of Laiyang City could defeat him with his bare hands!"

"What a pity...Mr. Wu passed away early, and my daughter was naughty, so this piece of raw jade was wasted!"

Hearing the voice behind him, although Li Yunlong didn't turn around, he already knew it was a tiger descending from the mountain.

"He is indeed a rare warrior, but Brother Xia is willing to hand over such a good seedling to me?" Li Yunlong asked with a faint smile.

"To be honest, I can't bear to part with it. Even my daughter's eyes are red from crying. People's hearts are made of flesh. Heita is the child I grew up watching, and I have long regarded it as my own... It's just... …”

Halfway through the sentence, Xiashanhu let out a long sigh, and then sighed: "It's just that people have their own ambitions, and I can't always restrain them when half of my body is about to be buried... If you are an eagle, you should soar in the sky, and you should be a thousand-mile horse." It’s time to go on the battlefield. Now that you have grown up and have your own ideas, let them go. All I can do is let go.”

Hearing the anger in Xia Shanhu's words, Li Yunlong didn't know what to say. He could only clasp his fists and say: "Since Brother Xia has said so, I will accept this person. If possible, I, Li Yunlong, will try my best to save their lives!"

The descending tiger smiled melancholy, patted Li Yunlong on the shoulder and said: "Commander Li, although your straightforward words make people scared, they also make people feel comfortable. Your words are enough!"

"If all the people in Zhongyi Village want to join the army and save our country from the fire, Tiger will not stop me from going down the mountain, and I have barely fulfilled my original bet. Brigadier Li, just don't scold me for talking like farts! "

"Let's go. Today is a special day. I have to do something, so I won't talk to Brigadier Li! In addition, Brigadier Li has to worry about the training of fortifications. I have already said that, Zhongyi As long as the villagers need it, just say hello!"

Chapter 342 The dusty past

In the back mountain of Zhongyi Village, there is an earthen tomb surrounded by pines and cypresses...

There is half a tombstone in front of the tomb that has been damaged. Perhaps it was too casual when it was carved. Only the word "Tomb" can be faintly read on it.

Apart from some wild fruits, there is only a bunch of wild cauliflower on the offering table in front of the monument...

As long as this day or Qingming Festival comes, these things will appear. The person in front of the grave is still the same person, but the years have made him older and different from before.

"Xiao Qin... our daughter has grown up. She brings me face wash today, which makes me so happy..."

"It's just that my daughter has grown up, and so has the Black Tower. One has never picked it up, and the other has never put it down. As a father, I am both happy and worried!"

"It's not that I haven't thought about revenge in these years, but if I die, who will take care of Miao'er and Heita? Some people say that I, Xia Shanhu, am a softie and have no talent. I don't care, but I'm afraid to see the children looking down on me. The look in his eyes..."

"It's almost... I will come to keep you company as soon as you find a good home for Xiaomiao. Don't leave too fast, just wait for me!"

The tiger going down the mountain babbled to half of the ruined monument, but no one knew how desolate it was. Only the breeze could fade away this deep-seated infatuation...

I don't know how long it took, Xiashanhu walked out of the pine forest with a heavy heart, and saw a little guy spinning anxiously outside the pine forest...

"The village leader... is not good, the eldest lady fainted..."

"What! What happened!"

Hearing that his daughter fainted, Xiashanhu's heart trembled, his feet were light, and he almost fell over.

"Master of the village, don't worry too much. Jia Langzhong in the village has checked her pulse and said that the eldest lady was so angry that she fainted. She will get better in a few days of cultivation!"

After hearing what the little guy said, Xiashanhu was half relieved...

"Tell me as you walk, tell me exactly why Miao'er fainted!"

As the two of them walked towards the village, the little boy danced with his hands and feet and said, "I don't know what happened to the eldest lady today. She is always distracted. Just now you came to worship, the eldest lady went to your room, and then outside the house. The guard only heard something falling in the room, and when he entered, he found the eldest lady lying in front of your desk..."

desk?

Hearing the word "desk", Xiashanhu recalled it for a moment, then suddenly remembered something and hurriedly ran towards the village.

After running wildly, Dang Shanhu arrived at Xia Xiaomiao's residence. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Xia Xiaomiao lying on the bed with her eyes closed.

It's just that Xia Shanhu's eyes were not on his daughter's face, but on the broken piece of steps she was holding tightly in her hands...

"Hey...it's just a waste of trouble!"

Everyone saw Xia Shanhu sighing heavily, his face full of regret that he had never shown before, but no one knew that the rag in Xia Xiaomiao's hand was the last note left by a woman named Jiang Xueqin many years ago!

And this woman named Jiang Xueqin is Xia Xiaomiao's biological mother, Xia Shanhu's wife...

On the rag are eight Xiujuan's handwritings outlined in blood: I would rather die and be loyal than betray my son...

The woman used her life to fulfill the meaning of the first four words. Xia Shanhu spent half his life making the oath of the last four words and kept this secret in his heart. However, he did not expect that the dusty secret would eventually be swept away by his daughter. , opened up the memories of the past...

After the Jia Langzhong of Zhongyi Village and his female family members left, Xiashan Hu stayed alone in his daughter's room. Unknowingly, it was already dark.

As people get older, they tend to get sleepy easily. Sitting down the mountain, Tiger fell asleep at some point. When he woke up, he found that Xia Xiaomiao was actually awake!

"Daughter, are you hungry? How about... Dad go get you something to eat?"

After the words fell, Xia Shanhu saw Xia Xiaomiao lying on the bed, staring blankly at the top of the bed, but ignored his questions!

"Daughter, the kitchen has made soup today. It is your favorite lotus seed soup. Dad will ask someone to bring it to you?"

Xia Shanhu asked cautiously again, but after waiting for a long time, Xia Xiaomiao's eyes were still empty, and she seemed to be an unconscious living dead...

"Miao'er...Dad..."

Xiashanhu was about to continue asking reluctantly, but unexpectedly, Xia Xiaomiao sat up on the bed, frightening Xiashanhu.

"You said...what is this!"

Xia Xiaomiao pinched the rag hard and held it in front of Xia Shanhu's eyes. Due to the excessive force, her knuckle bones had already turned white...

"Miao'er... you were still young back then, so..."

Xia Shanhu tried to explain clearly, but it was difficult to pronounce the words.

"So you lied? And you lied to me for eighteen years! Xia Shanhu, who said you would never lie to me? Who is it!"

Hearing his daughter call him the name Xia Shanhu, Xia Shanhu suddenly felt strange, and the promise he made back then came to mind again...

The old Taoist priest who saved Xia Xiaomiao died. Xia Shanhu deceived Xia Xiaomiao and said that the Taoist priest was traveling. Unexpectedly, Xia Xiaomiao, who was only a few years old, saw through the lie and understood what death meant!
After that, Zhongyi Village was in a state of turmoil for more than half a month. In the middle of the process, Xia Xiaomiao went on a hunger strike and fainted. Only then did Xia Shanhu make a promise never to lie!
