[Rebirth] Madam, stop pretending

Chapter 33

Wu Daoming had a headache that was about to split.

He waved away the attendants who had heard the news, and slowly sat up from the roof with his head supported.

In the early morning, the sky will turn white, and the sound of Wu family disciples practicing martial arts has already been heard in the front yard, and everything is as usual.

...Last night, what happened?

His memory is already blurred, he vaguely remembers that he met Su Yu, but as for what the two talked about, he doesn't remember clearly.

In a daze, he always felt that he heard Gao Daohua's voice calling him.

Even if I haven't heard such a tone of voice for many years, I can never admit my mistake.

Wu Daoming even suddenly thought, maybe there are really ghosts in the world, maybe last night in the small courtyard where Daohua usually lives, it was really Daohua who was by his side?

But then, he smiled rather self-deprecatingly.

...I'm afraid I still drank too much.

This is not the first time he got drunk on Dao Hua's roof, if Dao Hua's ghost is really there, why didn't he come out to meet him before?

Wu Daoming sat on the roof for a while, the trance in his eyes fluttered a few times, then slowly settled down, and the rest was clear.

The chaotic thoughts were forcibly cleared aside by him.

His father's revenge has not yet been avenged, and the enemies of the Wu family don't know where they are hiding. He... can only use absolute reason to block his delusions, and even more block his weakness.

Wu Daoming originally wanted to go back to Misty Rain Pavilion and get a good night's sleep, but who knew there was someone waiting for him in the room, and it was someone who had never appeared before.

"...Uncle?!" Wu Daoming called out very strangely.

Behind the desk on the first floor of Yanyu Pavilion, Wu Qiuyan, who hadn't been out of Mofeng Pavilion for several months, was sitting on a chair, playing with the white jade paperweight on the table over and over again.

"What is carved?" Wu Qiuyan asked, holding the paperweight up to the light.

"An alien beast." Wu Daoming replied, after thinking about it again, he was a little helpless, "I don't know what it is either."

This paperweight was given by a friend when he stayed in the frontier. The carvings on it are majestic and murderous, but it is impossible to tell what the carvings are.

"Sharp teeth and sharp claws." Wu Qiuyan snorted, put down the paperweight, then looked at Wu Daoming, looked up and down, unexpectedly showed a quite satisfied expression, and said, "Oh, you can finally drink?"

"..." Wu Daoming looked down at his wine-stained white clothes, then at Wu Qiuyan's satisfied expression, and thought it was better not to answer.

Wu Qiuyan didn't care about his reaction, leaned back casually, and said, "I have something to tell you."

Wu Daoming was stunned for a moment.Wu Qiuyan usually does his own thing, and he never and never needs to tell him what he wants to do.

Wu Qiuyan seemed to see what he was thinking, so he didn't pretend to be a joke, and said bluntly, "I want to take in an apprentice."

His tone and demeanor seemed to have been confirmed, and he was just here to let him know.

Wu Daoming was not annoyed at all, he was surprised. On the one hand, he was surprised that Wu Qiuyan wanted to accept a disciple, and on the other hand, he was surprised that the other party actually told him about it.

Wu Daoming looked at Wu Qiuyan, who showed great interest in the paperweight for some reason, and smiled, "Uncle wants to take in students...you don't need to tell me."

Wu Qiuyan looked at him somewhat, and said with a gloomy face, "You are the head of the Wu family now."

"...When will I be the Patriarch of the Wu family?!" Wu Daoming was puzzled, and immediately turned around and shouted, "Uncle!"

"Don't bother me with those nonsense about superiority and inferiority." Wu Qiuyan said coldly, "I don't want to sit in the position of Patriarch, and it's not suitable for me." "I'm here today to tell you." Wu Qiuyan continued , "I want to take in an apprentice, I don't know which generation of Wu family's disciple it is, you go and talk to someone, if it makes sense, tell me, if it doesn't make sense, I will grab it directly."

"..." Wu Daoming was speechless, so it turned out that his uncle came to tell him for this purpose... He is so confident in robbing other people's apprentices, probably only his uncle did it.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Wu Qiuyan raised his eyebrows and mocked, "Can't you do it?"

Wu Daoming smiled wryly, "I don't know who the uncle wants?"

Wu Qiuyan was taken aback for a moment, and then said with a sullen face very confidently, "I don't know."

"……do not know?"

"I didn't ask for the name." Wu Qiuyan said indifferently, then thought for a while, and said, "But she is quite beautiful, and she married an ice cube face with good martial arts."

"..." Wu Daoming really doesn't remember anyone in the Wu family who is married to a face with ice cubes... But this does not prevent him from having an ominous guess in his heart.

"...When and where did my uncle meet this man?"

Wu Qiuyan was quite impatient, "Yesterday evening, they passed by outside my courtyard, and they were very noisy at first. I thought it was some short-sighted kid, but I didn't expect that the two of them are quite interesting."

"Could it be... Su Yu and Ling Mohan?"

"It seems that there is some kind of Mo Han," Wu Qiuyan said irresponsibly, "I guess so."

"..." Wu Daoming really didn't know what to say.

The disciple his uncle wants to accept is Su Yu...

The future Patriarch of the Wu family frowned, thought about his choice of words, and said cryptically, "The one my uncle said he wanted to take in as his disciple...is not the Wu family."

Wu Qiu laughed out loud, "No?"

"...It's a friend I brought back..." Wu Daoming continued to explain vaguely.

Wu Qiuyan looked at him very strangely, as if he thought his statement was absurd, but then he said thoughtfully, "Maybe... it's the illegitimate son of the eldest brother or the second brother who is outside..."

"..."

"Otherwise, where did he see Yuexijiang's mentality?" Wu Qiuyan waved his hand in the face of Wu Daoming's disapproving expression, and explained patiently, "Yuexijiang has always been passed on by word of mouth, only the one in the attic Ben, it was my second brother who was afraid that he would not be able to remember when he was just learning, and secretly silently fell silent every night..."

After Wu Qiuyan became interested, he didn't consider whether his guess was reasonable. When he was in a good mood, he talked a lot. He asked Wu Daoming as if asking for advice, "Say, is it my elder brother or my second elder brother?"

"..." Wu Daoming really wanted to stop his uncle's wild and unreliable thoughts, but now his head hurts even more, and he really doesn't have the energy to argue with his uncle.

Besides, when will he be able to fight for what his brother-in-law decided?

Wu Qiuyan asked for a long time, and seeing that Wu Daoming didn't answer, he snorted unhappily.Just now, his complexion that had turned cloudy, which was rare in ten thousand years, turned overcast again.

"Uncle..." Wu Daoming looked at him with a wry smile, and he didn't care if he made the other party unhappy by not saying anything. He just took advantage of the other party's attention to himself and said quickly, "Su Yu, his identity may not be suitable. ..."

"Identity?" Wu Qiuyan snorted, "I want to accept apprentices, I can accept any identity." Without waiting for Wu Daoming to answer, he said, "Since he is not from the Wu family in the first place, it is easy to follow him. I have communicated with my master. Just tell him and ask him to come to Mofengge to find me tomorrow."

"..." Wu Daoming tried to stop him again, but Wu Qiuyan had already floated out of the window, Rensha had already gone far away, and the voice came from afar, mockingly said, "Also, kid, practice more. Next time after drinking Don't look so embarrassed."

"..."

When drinking cup after cup slowly, I think he is not drinking, drinking too politely.

At the beginning, I drank pots and pots, but I praised him for always drinking, but I disliked him for drinking too embarrassingly.

Wu Daoming sighed, and fell down on his bed without even changing his clothes.

...In fact, he still likes his uncle.

...However, it is very difficult to accept Su Yu as a disciple.

Where is his uncle interested in Su Yu?

Wu Daoming was lying on the bed, and only then carefully began to recall the conversation he had with Wu Qiuyan just now.

It seems to be because of Yuexijiang.

On Bafangtai, Wu Daoming already knew how familiar Su Yu was with the Wu family's martial arts, swordsmanship, footwork, and even mentality.

Did Daohua tell him?

Thinking about it this way, Wu Daoming felt that this kind of statement was really ridiculous.

Su Yu's familiarity with the Wu family's martial arts is even comparable to that of Daohua.But Daohua had studied in the Wujia Zangshu Pavilion for more than ten years before he could grasp so much knowledge in his chest.

How could it be possible for Su Yu to have such a deep understanding within a year because of Dao Hua's one or two sentences?

Unless he is really from the Wu family.

Thinking of his uncle's conjecture just now, Wu Daoming couldn't help laughing in a low voice, but after a while, his laughter stopped.

... same as Daohua, and really a member of the Wu family.

Wu Daoming suddenly sat up from the bed.

Because of too much force, the already painful head buzzed.

However, just like that, amidst the severe pain of the explosion, a flash of light suddenly lit up his mind.

He suddenly remembered the words he had heard last night, because they had been repeated too many times, so they were unconsciously imprinted into the depths of his mind, and at this moment he suddenly remembered them.

It should be what Su Yu said to him.

Wu Daoming's face turned pale, and he pressed his forehead, recalling the content of yesterday's sentence word by word.

He leaned against the head of the bed, in recollection, he didn't know whether it was because of excitement or fear, even his fingertips trembled slightly.

Did I hear wrong, he asked himself over and over again, is it true?

He heard Su Yu say, "Brother... Wu Daohua is not dead... because I am him..."

——In this world, not everyone can get what they want.

In the spring of the sixth year of Jianfeng, as soon as the Holy Flame Sect appeared in the rivers and lakes, it set off a bloody storm. In that year, Wu Daohua was 8 years old.

Wu's family is big, and he moved out of his parents' house very early to sleep in his own room.

The spring of that year was very abnormal. It was only at the end of the spring that the south of the Yangtze River had already started to rain heavily.The spring thunder rumbled so loudly that Wu Daohua woke up in the middle of the night, and couldn't fall asleep anyway.

"...", he lay on the bed for a while, trying to count a few sheep, but only felt that the thunder outside was louder than the loud one, and the rain poured down the flowers in front of the window, shaking the drowsiness that was still a little Run away without a trace.

The frequent thunder, the rushing rain, the rustling of leaves and petals, after listening to it for a long time, I could hear some strange noises.

The quarrel between a man and a woman.

Wu Daohua listened attentively, and after a while he could tell that it was his father and his mother who were arguing.

In the past few days, the atmosphere between parents has been a bit wrong, but every time the two see Wu Daohua, they immediately return to their usual appearance.His father is still that gentle father, considerate husband.His mother is still a cheerful mother and a lively wife.It's just that Wu Daohua was sensitive enough to sense that something was wrong.

A corner of the fact that has been unable to be explored has been exposed tonight, Wu Daohua couldn't help sitting up, took the umbrella by the door and tiptoed out the door.

Parent's room is on the opposite side, and there is still a ray of yellow light, which is a little shaken by the wind in the rainy night.

Wu Daohua didn't dare to stand too close.Both his parents are very good at martial arts, Wu Daohua has long known that people who can practice martial arts are different, for example, he never found his father standing outside his window, and whenever he went to his father to find someone, he always returned It was discovered without going near the house.

In order to avoid this situation from happening again, Wu Daohua only stood in the middle of the courtyard with an umbrella.

In the yard there is a decades-old peach tree with pale white flowers, drawing chaotic white shadows in front of him under the light.

"You can't go!" Standing here, the mother's voice can be heard clearly, but the pitch is much higher than usual, so that it seems a bit sharp.

"Hongye..." Wu Youhua's voice was much lower, and Wu Daohua couldn't hear clearly.

"You don't have to go at all!" Jiang Hongye's voice completely lost its usual mellowness, and she looked at Wu Youhua who looked tired in front of her.There was no trace of impatience or anger on the other party's face.

, just looked at her quietly and peacefully.

That gaze was as inclusive as ever, and it was exactly the kind of gaze she was obsessed with many years ago.

However, at this moment, she suddenly hated this tranquility.

After sinking for a long time, she realized that the quiet and peaceful look in Wu Youhua's eyes was just because he didn't pay enough attention to it, and he didn't care.

Jiang Hongye finally tore through the last sliver of reason, she shouted, "If you have something to say, you don't need it at all... Those threats from him will never come true."

"Hongye!" Wu Youhua's voice was still low and steady, "He is, after all, the Sacred Flame Sect..."

"It has nothing to do with who he is!" Jiang Hongye said firmly, "He... Even if he is the devil who kills the world, he will never do anything to harm you!"

"Red leaves!"

"Don't blame me for poking your sore spot! He just used hundreds of lives to give you an excuse to see him!"

Wu Youyu fell silent.

After a while, he sighed again, "If I don't go to see him, he will continue to kill..."

"There are so many people in the martial arts world! Why can't you! How come no one can stop him!" Jiang Hongye was almost hysterical, "There is something...he gave you an excuse, and you are just gliding along! You want to see him too... You can't let go, are you still afraid of really dying here?"

"He won't." Wu You said in a calm but forceful tone.

Jiang Hongye didn't know what to say for a while.After a long while, she sighed, "I have something... We have been together for more than ten years, and we have Daohua..." Her voice dropped, and now she couldn't hear what his father said Wu Daohua couldn't hear what his mother said.

Wu Daohua stood on the spot and thought for a while. He only listened to a few words here and there just now, and he was still confused.Wu Daohua was very curious in his heart, and boldly took a step forward cautiously.

It's just that he was not sure about this step, and was suddenly grabbed and gently pulled back.

Wu Daohua was almost about to cry out, if it wasn't for the people behind him already hitting his dumb acupoint like lightning.

Wu Daohua turned his head and saw a slender man standing behind him.

For the eight-year-old Wu Daohua, he had to look up to meet that person's eyes.

The other party was wearing a black robe embroidered with gold, and his hair was half-up and half-up. He was handsome, but he didn't look like a Han Chinese.

The man didn't open an umbrella, a thunderstorm caused a gust of wind, and the peach blossoms flew down like crazy, dripping wet all over his body.

Wu Daohua saw him smiling.

His gaze was fixed on Wu Youhua's room, and he could clearly hear what his parents were saying.

"Hush—" Noticing Wu Daohua's gaze, the man took his hand and took two steps back slightly, "Keep your voice down, don't be found out."

Wu Daohua: "..."

The other party listened for a while, although Wu Daohua couldn't hear anything, he could tell that the man was listening very seriously.

Wu Daohua vaguely heard his mother's crying.

His eyes widened and he was about to run into the house.

...I have never seen my mother cry.Wu Daohua, who was still 8 years old, could only vaguely feel that something serious had happened.

However, before he could take a step, a hand picked him up from behind, and jumped up suddenly.

It was that strange man.

Wu Daohua never knew that a person could jump so high.It's as tall as if you can reach out and touch the rainy sky.

The paper umbrella in Wu Daohua's hand was blown away.

The raindrops fell on the face from the wind, and he saw that the other person's face was also covered with rain, as if shed tears.

The man glanced at him, unlocked his dumb point, and asked, "Are you a child with words?"

Wu Daohua watched him jump out of Wu's house, and even jumped out of the high city wall quite easily.

"How did you jump so high?" Wu Daohua answered irrelevantly.

The man smiled, "Look at your facial features, you look just like your father."

"..."

"Don't be afraid," he said, with no emotion in his voice, "Even if you are Youhua and Jiang Hongye's son, I won't harm you....I won't do things that really make him sad. Jiang Hongye is really right."

"...you want to see my daddy?"

"Yes." The other party replied flatly, "I originally asked him to settle it."

Wu Daohua tilted his head, somewhat puzzled, "It's over? Are you Daddy's enemy?"

The other party laughed uncontrollably, "Enemy? I am your mother's enemy, your father's...friend..."

Wu Daohua became more and more puzzled.

"I thought he didn't want to talk to me because he had something to say, but I didn't expect that he wanted to come too." The man said to himself, took Wu Daohua into a small hut in the suburbs, put Wu Daohua on the ground, his face There was a smile on his face, "Anyway... you are still willing to come to see me."

Wu Daohua didn't understand, so he looked at him.

The man said flatly, "Stay here obediently, Jiang Hongye won't dare to be so at ease when you are here." He sneered, "When dawn dawns, she will never dare to say a word to stop again!"

Wu Daohua blinked and asked, "Are you using me to blackmail my mother?"

"Threatening?" The man followed his example and blinked, the smile was still there, but it was cold and frightening, "She stole my man! I'm just here..." He paused, and didn't continue , seems to be due to not knowing how to word it.

Wu Daohua looked at the other party, thought for a while, said oh, clapped his hands, and said, "My father and mother are very powerful, they will come to save me."

The other party raised his eyebrows to look at him in surprise, the child didn't show any fear or nervousness, and was quite calm.His heart moved, and he suddenly asked, "What's your name?"

"...you can't tell the bad guy what my name is."

"Oh?"

"...What's your name?" Wu Daohua asked back.

"..." He didn't want to answer at first.

However, the child in front of him looks too much like Wu Youhua, especially Wu Youhua when he was a child.

He suddenly became a little stunned.

It turns out that it has been so many years... It turns out that even his child is already this old...

It's just that in his mind everything is still as clear as it was when it started.

"Xiao Chenyan." He couldn't help but said in a very soft voice.

That year, that spring, the sky was full of flowers, like snow.

It's a pity that it won't be a year.
