Lord and leave

Chapter 285

Thinking of the shadow that was loved by the God of Time, he not only shook his head with a wry smile.It's not that I haven't thought about giving up, but what I want, even if I just wait silently behind my back, I am happy.

Turning his back on his family's caring eyes, Xiao Heng'er was deeply depressed.

Regarding the father's question, it was not without doubts.Why do other people's families have fathers and mothers, but my own family has never seen a father?
I have asked about my father before.But everyone's reaction was different, which made Xiao Heng'er deeply confused.

Asked mother, mother hugged him, only said that Heng'er has a father, but there are very important things to do, so he can't go home for the time being.After that, I was speechless for a long time.Mother hugged him tightly, tightly, he couldn't see Mother's expression, but suddenly felt a little sad.

Ask Uncle Shen, Uncle Shen's voice is a bit gnashing of teeth, he said, Heng'er has a father, he is... is... Well, in short, he must love Xiao Heng'er very much, but there are some things that he still can't see through.

What can't you see?Xiao Heng'er didn't understand, probably because something happened and he couldn't come back.

Ask Aunt Qin, Aunt Qin said, Xiao Heng'er has a father, he is wise and mighty, like a god.It's just that due to many reasons, I can't live with Xiao Heng'er.

Then, Xiao Heng'er had an epiphany.

Little Heng Heng'er has a father.

Daddy loves Xiao Heng'er very much, but there are very important things... like the "centipede" (official affairs) that Uncle Shen has to deal with every once in a while... Daddy can't come back.

Haven't thought of it yet.

What is so important?By the way, my friend Doudou's father is always away from home. Doudou said that her father has gone to work in the city, in order to earn a lot of money to buy delicious and fun things for Doudou.Dad loves himself so much, he must also want to buy himself a lot of good things.So dad is also working in the city?Because I want to make a lot of money, I have never had time to come back.

Absolutely!Xiao Heng'er deeply felt that she had come to the truth.

Ever since, our smart and brave little Heng'er has set a great goal for himself: go to the city and find Daddy!
Where is the city?

He tilted his head in confusion, just in time to see Xiaobai tilting his head in a daze, imitating himself.

By the way, Mother said that Xiaobai bought it from a hunter in the city, and Xiaobai must know the way to the city!
So, early in the morning, the clever little Heng'er pretended to go to play with his friends, wrapped up his short jacket, carried his backpack, and set off excitedly.

"Xiaobai!" Xiao Heng'er commanded majestically. "I am the general now, and I order you to be the pioneer and lead me the way!"

Xiaobai tilted his head in confusion, rolled his small black bean-like eyes, and jumped out along a mountain road as if he understood.Thus, Xiao Heng'er's battle to find her father...began.

The sun gradually rises.The warm sunshine poured down on Xiao Heng'er's slightly sweaty forehead through the newly sprouted branches.

Little Heng'er couldn't move anymore.He sat down on the stone by the roadside, panting with his chin propped up.

Xiaobai looked back at it, bounced back, squeezed into Xiaoheng'er's arms and nestled into a ball.

Xiao Heng'er stroked its fluffy body lightly, and asked, "Xiaobai, how long do we have to go? I have never traveled such a long distance before. Do you think Daddy will wait for me in the city?"

Xiao Bai rubbed his chubby hand with his back, feeling drowsy comfortably.

Suddenly, Xiaobai widened his eyes vigilantly, straightened up, bared his teeth in warning and barked.

Little Heng'er felt the danger.When he raised his head suddenly, a strange animal appeared not far away.It looks a lot like Dumb, the big dog of Li Daniu's family.But Duan is honest and cute, and Xiao Heng'er keenly senses the hostility of the opposite creature.

If Mother was by her side, she would tell Xiao Heng'er.This is an old and lonely wolf.Desperately come out to forage during the day.Look at his green eyes, they look scary, but they are also his weakness that needs to be hidden.See Niang's movements clearly, and then use the simplest and smoothest movements to give Lone Wolf a fatal blow.

If Shen Boling was by his side, he would smile and say to Xiao Heng'er, oh, the weather is so nice, the flowers over there bloom really beautifully, how about Xiao Heng'er go pick one for uncle.Then when Xiao Heng'er came back, he found that there was nothing in front of him except the smiling Uncle Shen, as if everything was just an illusion.

But now Xiao Heng'er is only surrounded by the underage little white fox.Although desperately trying to protect its master, it has no deterrent effect.

Xiao Heng'er touched her side, and quietly held a dead branch in her hand.Although his legs trembled in fear, he instinctively realized that once he showed a little timidity, the big guy with malicious intentions on the opposite side would rush up without hesitation.

The greedy eyes of the old wolf aroused the fierceness in Xiao Heng'er's heart.Recalling the moves taught by her mother and Uncle Shen, Xiao Heng'er raised her thick eyebrows from her father, and her shining eyes seemed to burn.

The old wolf on the opposite side stared at his cloudy green eyes, and took a step back in confusion.Yet hunger left him no choice.It tentatively leaned forward slightly, its throat whimpering and vibrating.

Sweat slid down Xiao Heng'er's forehead.Only he himself knew that his little hand, which was holding the dead branch tightly, had turned white due to the force, and he almost lost consciousness.

Time seemed to stand still, and the irritable old wolf lost his patience.

At this critical moment, a feathered arrow came through the air.The old wolf instinctively felt the danger.However, before it could react, the arrowhead made of fine iron was firmly inserted into his hind leg.The old wolf neighed and turned to flee.Another feathered arrow has shot into its heart right behind it.

Faced with the sudden change, Xiao Heng'er obviously hasn't reacted yet.He was stunned to see a small group of people coming out of the woods. The leader was dressed in black clothes with faint golden lines on the neckline.His eyebrows are like thick ink, his eyes are like cold electricity, and he is not angry and arrogant.

He threw back the bow and arrow in his hand at will, and his servants caught it firmly.

"What an amazing little doll." A mellow voice rang in Xiao Heng'er's ear. "Why are you alone, where are the adults at home?"

Little Heng'er has not recovered from the momentary tension of life and death.Xiaobai jumped onto his shoulder a few times, staring blankly at the man in Xuanyi with two pairs of round black eyes.

"What, are you scared?"

"Wow..." Wu Liuliu's eyes quickly filled with tears, and Xiao Heng'er burst into tears belatedly.

The man in black was at a loss for a moment.Although he also has a son, he never dared to be disrespectful in front of him.The other children were even more afraid of his majesty.This was the first time he faced a crying child.

The kids on the other side are very funny.When facing the hungry wolf, his eyes were obviously burning, and he showed no cowardice.But now she threw herself into his arms, as if she was going to cry all her tears dry.

He must have been terrified.Such a cute child, young and immature, not as tall as his own legs.A tenderness that he had never felt before suddenly surged in the man's heart, he clumsily held that soft little body into his arms, and gently patted him to comfort him.

If someone else was there at this time, they would definitely be able to see an extremely funny scene.A man in black clothes held a young child nervously, his majestic brows and eyes filled with tenderness, allowing him to wipe his snot and tears all over his body.But the entourage behind the man seemed to be struck by lightning. They couldn't believe that the always majestic and ruthless master had such a gentle expression, and their jaws dropped.

The generous and warm embrace is especially nostalgic.Finally, Xiao Heng'er, who had had enough crying, raised her little face reluctantly.

"Have you finally cried enough?" A joking voice sounded above his head.

Xiao Heng'er looked up, and bumped into a pair of deep eyes full of smiles.

Only then did he realize that the "handkerchief" he had been wiping his nose with was someone else's clothes.

"Uncle, I'm sorry." The little face that had just cooled down was flushed with embarrassment.

"Little girl, what's your name?"

"My name is Chu Zhuoheng. Everyone calls me Xiaoheng'er."

Chu... the man in black couldn't help but wonder.

A servant behind him was not calm anymore, and asked strangely. "Chu is the surname of the country. Emperor... son, is there a royal family wandering in this barren mountain?"

"Little Heng'er, where does your family live, and who else is there?" The man in black clothes, that is, today's son Chu Hengqing, suddenly had an inexplicable expectation in his heart, and couldn't help asking hastily.

"My house is in the woods in the middle of the mountain. There are mother, uncle Shen, aunt Qin, Xiao Heng'er, and Xiao Bai!"

Don't forget to hold the fluffy little white in front of the uncle in black.

Xiao Bai, with a black line on his face, cursed in his heart: Little master, why did you tell others all the family affairs like this!
Chu Hengqing's heart moved, and he couldn't help asking eagerly, "Is your mother's name Zhu Bingling?"

"Oh? Does uncle know mother?"

"Heng'er!" For the first time, a generation of emperors knew that the self-control he was proud of was so fragile.It's her, it's really her, after searching hard, waiting for a long time, disappointing again and again, searching again and again, heaven pays off, and finally there is her trace!Well, this kid...

"Xiao Heng'er, how old are you..."

"I'm almost five years old! And..." Xiao Heng'er snapped her fingers, "Four months!"

Chu Hengqing could no longer restrain his excitement, and hugged Chu Zhuoheng tightly in his arms, as if embracing a lost and found treasure.

"Uncle." Xiao Heng'er pushed him and asked, "You know my mother, but do you know my father?"

Chu Hengqing felt his heart melt into water, and asked, "Heng'er wants to see Daddy?"

"Yeah." Xiao Heng'er nodded listlessly, "They laughed at me for not having a father."

My heart tightened all of a sudden.I couldn't help hugging that little lonely figure tighter and tighter.Chu Hengqing coaxed with a soft voice he had never had before: "Heng'er take me to see your mother, and I'll tell you who your father is, okay?"

"Really? Uncle doesn't lie?"

"Really, how could uncle lie to you?"

"Great!" Xiao Heng'er hugged Chu Hengqing's neck excitedly.The bright eyes are smiling and bent into a pair of crescent moons.

Xiaobai also seemed to feel Xiao Henger's mood, jumping up and down on Xiao Henger's shoulder excitedly.

The sun was shining brightly, Xiao Heng'er took Chu Hengqing's hand, and walked ahead bouncingly.A group of servants trailed far behind.

The road under your feet is winding and long.The child's happy laughter is like silver bells, accompanied by the man's mellow voice, in the gentle sunshine of the afternoon, it is as moving as a song.

The young emperor who walked out of the sword, light and sword, has experienced wind, frost, snow and rain, and enjoyed the warm pillow of the high bed, but his heart has never been as full and warm as it is at this moment.

A slender figure stood at the gate of the small courtyard. Seeing Xiao Heng'er's small figure, the anxious bright woman finally felt relieved.

However, at the next moment, the voice that had rang countless times in the dream rang in her ears again, with a familiar low voice and a confident demeanor of strategizing.

She froze suddenly, with a burst of heat on her face, and then realized that she had tears welling up on her face. She lowered her head and wiped them away, but new tears welled up again. The tears were hot and ironed straight into her heart.

She stood still, and saw a familiar figure approaching from far and near, the two most important people in her life walking side by side, holding big hands with small hands, perfectly like a painting.

The four eyes met, their eyes intertwined, and time seemed to stand still at this moment.Until Xiao Heng'er stretched out his hand to her in surprise and distress, to wipe away the tears on her cheeks, Chu Hengqing hugged his son with one hand, and gently wiped her tears with the other hand.

To dissipate the wolf smoke and brush away the lead, I thought that as the days passed, time would dilute all the charming emotions.However, a strong love is like fine wine in a cellar, the longer it is, the more mellow it is, the more it is stored, the more fragrant it is.

That slender figure came into view, but it was already engraved in my heart.

Those firm eyes, want to forget, but often appear in dreams.

Ling'er, you know.After going through the prosperity and all the wealth and honor, I realized that the six palaces of Fendai are not as good as your gentle smile, and the power over the world is just a lonely family and a widow, and the heights are too cold.

Ling'er, would you like to give me another chance.Get back my happiness?
A pair of idiots, thousands of words are paid to hold hands and tearful eyes.And in the shadow under the eaves, the gentle man sighed deeply.Falling flowers are intentional, flowing water is ruthless, and an infatuated heart will end up with nothing to lose...

some years later.

The sky is jealous of talents, Chu Hengqing, the military emperor of the Great Chu Empire, died of a serious illness in his prime, and was passed on to be the crown prince.For a time, the whole city wore mourning, and the whole country mourned.

But thousands of miles away, there is a completely different cheerful atmosphere in the elegant courtyard among the mountains and forests.

"Daddy, you're back!" The immature child has grown a lot, and it's time to be naughty.But after going out for a long time, the clothes that were neatly dressed in the morning were covered with dust, the two corners of the top of the head were half scattered, and there were a few dead grasses stuck in them.

When Chu Hengqing turned around, what he saw was such a little mud boy.Can't help but sternly teach: "Look at your disheveled clothes, what do you look like!"

"Daddy, old antique!" Chu Zhuoheng made a grimace: "Mother said this is called "childhood", and Uncle Shen also said that I should be more lively and not drop my book bag like Mrs. Li at the foot of the mountain." Chu Zhuoheng said while rubbing his hands. The existing goatee shook his head and learned, "Are potatoes salty? Salty!"

"Heng'er is smart, quick-witted, lively and active. I advise you to stop using your pedantic rules to restrain him." Then the man in the blue shirt who entered the door smiled softly, but he ruthlessly ran on an expired emperor inside and outside the words.

"If you don't cut jade, you can't make it. You will hurt him if you spoil him." Chu Hengqing immediately retorted.

"You are trying to encourage the growth of seedlings!"

"You are the son of the wrong person!"

Xiao Heng'er found out that his father and Uncle Shen had started a meaningless quarrel again, he was really more childish than himself.

"Okay!" Xiao Heng'er stood between the two of them. "Uncle Shen, didn't you promise me to ride a horse? Let's go quickly."

"Why do you want him to teach you? Daddy can teach you too!" Chu Hengqing became unbalanced instantly.

"It was taught by Uncle Shen in the past!" Xiao Heng'er replied truthfully.

Shen Boran proudly raised his eyebrows at Chu Hengqing, and was dragged out of the door by Xiao Heng'er.

Chu Hengqing fell into a deep crisis, and he could only blame himself for being greedy for power in the past few years and missing Xiao Heng'er's first days.

"Daddy, aren't you coming?" Xiao Heng'er suddenly turned her head and looked at him expectantly.

Chu Hengqing stretched his eyebrows.I'm already back, right? Everything can start anew from now on.

The bright sun shines through layers of shade, casting dappled light and shadows.Among the bright mountains and rivers, another happy story begins...
