What's wrong with my mother adding special effects to my wife?

This is really... She is just trying to encourage the growth of the seedlings, and she is doing it on her own.

Xu Chuilu began to regret why she said that "it is according to her own understanding". Xiao Fangdao's character is stubborn, and since she is determined to "understand" her every move, she will naturally carry out this learning heart in the end.

But Xiao Fangdao learned things too quickly.

Moreover, Xiao Fangdao's judgment of her was not entirely conjectural, after all, she was the one who dragged the opponent into the water that day, and she thought it was reasonable for her to "repeat the old trick".

but--

Xu Chuilu suddenly felt that the cat was not in her arms, but in her heavy heart.

How should I confess to Xiao Fangdao that she is actually a little painter of pure love who grew up under the red banner?

……

Of course it can’t be said, saying it is tantamount to exposing Xiao Zongzhu’s unhealthy little thoughts face to face, so the two of them kept this growing ambiguity and spent the rest of their free time—oh, maybe Xiao Fangdao was unilateral of leisure.

Xiao Fangdao is no longer dissatisfied with her clothes, but finds a new "problem" to make use of, which is Jieyu.

Although Xieyu is delicious and lazy, he has faithfully fulfilled his duties as a pet. It can be said to be responsive and obedient. No less.

Whether it's out of caring for his companion or out of selfishness for petting the cat, Xu Chuilu has maintained a high frequency of communication with it in the past few days.

"Explanation!"

"Meow!"

"Explanation?"

"Meow."

"Explanation - language -"

"……Meow."

Xiao Fangdao, who was practicing meditation, frowned: "Stop screaming."

Xu Cuilu, who was trying to explore the language of cats, was interrupted at once, turned her head and asked in confusion, "Who? The cat...or me?"

Xiao Fangdao remained silent coldly.

Xu Chuilu: Understood, you are not allowed to bark.

She and Xie Yu looked at each other, and they both read dissatisfaction with Xiao Fangdao's dictatorship|tyranny|rule from each other's gaze. I can't call at night.

Xie Yu tilted his head, leaned on the back of her hand, and rubbed her hand twice to show his approval.

Xu Chuilu was soothed and became happy again, and decided not to argue with Xiao Fang for the time being.

"Today's New Year's Eve, didn't Fengfu and the others say that they would come to have dinner together, why is there no one yet?"

"Should be still shopping for vegetables." Xiao Fangdao paused, then said, "Are you hungry?"

"No, I'm just..."

Xu Chuilu was startled.

She doesn't like the lively occasions during the Chinese New Year. The boring greetings among relatives only make her embarrassed and suffocated. Dealing with those problems about marriage, love, work and study has exhausted her, and she has no time or energy to enjoy the beautiful atmosphere of reunion.She has always thought so since she was a child.

But now because of Xiao Fangdao, her seniority and status have suddenly risen by a large margin, and her previous worries will not happen again, and she does not reject getting along with these Ruthless Sect disciples, she subconsciously includes them in the family and friends category, even vaguely looking forward to meeting them in the festive season.

Is this also caused by "love the house and the bird"?

No, she has always maintained a high level of vigilance against unfamiliar people, and she must trust these dangerous quacks in a short period of time, unless...someone gave her a higher sense of security.

And this feeling was not given to her by Xiao Fangdao on purpose or even alone.Xiao Fangdao seems to be born like this—her loneliness and indifference does not prevent her from arranging the people around her properly without interfering.

"Ok?"

"It's nothing. I'll clean up the house before they come."

There was one more thing that Xiao Fangdao couldn't understand-why did this person hesitate to speak and then suddenly smiled silly.

Xu Chuilu put down her explanation and decided to earnestly perform her duties as the half-head of the family, such as cleaning the main house to create a festive and auspicious New Year's atmosphere.However, when she came back from the courtyard with the broom, she found that the house was spotless, but there was no use for it.She looked around first, and then checked with her hands, making sure that the tables, chairs, beams and floors had been cleaned, if it wasn't for Miss Tianluo's visit, it would be all thanks to Xiao Fangdao.

She leaned on the ground with a broom and did not move for a long time.

Is Xiao Fangdao so proficient in doing these things?

That's right, if she doesn't do it, who will do it for her?After Liang Bujin died, how did she, as a young child, walk from Tao County to Mingliguan in Chisong?After entering Li Fulan's sect, besides practicing martial arts, she also had to fulfill her duties as a disciple. She had cooked porridge for Bi Xuzi, but after being taken care of not far from Liang, she learned that she had no interest in it before. The art of cooking.She may have done more things she didn't like and had to do...

Xu Chuilu put the broom aside, walked quickly towards Xiao Fangdao with his eyes closed, and suddenly stretched out his arms to wrap around the other's neck, forming a warm and abrupt hug.

"?"

Xiao Fangdao frowned and opened his eyes, and was about to question the intention of this sudden surrender, but Xu Chuilu quickly let go of his hand.

"Ah, I forgot—the cat hair is all on you, I'll help you get rid of it."

"..."

The white cat's fur was very conspicuous on Xiao Fangdao's dark clothes, and she really didn't consider this, so she used both hands, patted and twisted, to make amends in time.

Then her hands that were trying to turn the tide were tightly clamped.

Xu Chuilu looked up at her, and said sincerely with a guilty conscience: "I'm sorry, I will definitely pay attention next time..."

Xiao Fangdao didn't intend to let go.

Xu Chuilu sensed something bad from this reaction, some bad memories made her struggle decisively: "Yes, someone is here."

It's not like she's talking nonsense, since she has practiced hustle and bustle, she can also distinguish the footsteps of warriors. As long as the other party doesn't deliberately hide, she can basically detect the approach of ordinary people.

She did hear more than one person walking this way.

Xiao Fangdao calmed down a little, and relaxed the strength of his hand. Even so, Xu Chuilu still had to spend a lot of effort when he withdrew his hand, as if she had touched it completely in the whole process.

Xu Chuilu: ... Hiss.

Those footsteps did not go in the same direction, and soon, the nearest light steps stopped at the door.

"Sovereign, may I come in?"

It's the sound of Fengfu.

"Ah."

Feng Fu pushed the door open and entered. Today she is wearing a light yellow short jacket, she is as charming as a peach, and her eyes are piercing. The smile on the tip of her eyebrows and the tail of her eyes adds a touch of vitality to this beauty: "Xuanjian has gone to work in the dining room. Well, I'm here to invite Miss Xu to try the dishes for her, I wonder if the Suzerain is willing to let her go?"

Xiao Fangdao looked cold: "Ask me why? Ask herself."

Feng Fu looked at Xu Chuilu again: "Then Miss Xu..."

"If you want, I'll come!"

Seeing that Xiao Fangdao didn't say yes or no, the two of them closed the door and left with peace of mind.

……

There are two large baskets of ingredients piled up in the dining room, and Xuanjian is sorting and displaying them. In front of the mountains of dishes, she looks more and more petite. The lotus vegetables are as long as her arms, and the radishes are too thick to be held by hand. , she still handles it with ease.Xuanjian's movements combine the fierceness of a warrior, the familiarity of a farmer, and the agility of a girl. They are not only neat and quick, but also pleasing to the eye.

Every time Xu Chuilu saw this situation, it was hard to believe that Xuanjian was Xiao Fangdao's apprentice.

She stood by the door with Feng Fu, not disturbing Xuan Jian's preparations.

"Feng Talisman, you can speak now."

Feng Talisman looked at the other party in astonishment: "What did you say?"

Xu Chuilu smiled lightly: "The stove hasn't even started yet, and you want me to try the dishes? Since you called me here early, there must be something else."

A look of hesitation appeared on Fengfu's face: "You..."

Xu Chuilu didn't urge her, just took off her cloak and hung it behind the door, wrapped her sleeves with loops, took clean water from a wooden basin, brought it to the wooden bench in front of the trough, sat down and said, "Don't worry, we're coming Talking while washing the vegetables. I know, you still can't accept the matter between me and the suzerain."

"No, I don't accept it." Feng Fu angrily denied, and then turned his head in circles, "I am... I am actually..."

She didn't know why Shui Lian asked her to care about Xu Chuilu, and she also specifically told him to mention it euphemistically and make insinuations, and never speak out, nor ask in front of the suzerain.

But now Xu Chuilu seems to have misunderstood her meaning, if she doesn't tell the truth, how can she explain it?

Fengfu thought hard to no avail, Xu Chuilu saw her embarrassed, stopped talking, bent down and put the shepherd's purse picked out by Xuanjian into the basin to wash.As soon as she lowered her head, a piece of skin on the back of her neck was exposed from the neckline. Feng Fu caught a glimpse of those purple-red bruises, like crossing a sea of ​​bitterness, she suddenly realized it.

That's it!

She moved the wooden stool and sat down beside Xu Cuilu, restrained her excitement and whispered, "Did the suzerain beat you?"

"?!" Xu Chuilu slid the shepherd's purse into the basin suddenly, "Puff cough cough cough... cough cough..."

Not to mention where Fengfu came to this damn conclusion, the question is, why did she look so happy when she heard that she was beaten? !

Feng Fu thought it was right, and quickly comforted him: "It's just a slight injury, and it didn't bleed or break a bone. It's much better than I was then!"

...It turned out that I was happy because I found an ally of the victims.

Xu Chuilu didn't rush to explain, but frowned and asked, "Why did she attack you?"

Xiao Fangdao mentioned this matter, but Xu Chuilu only took it as her admonition to the younger generation, not to the point of hurting the muscles and bones. Now it seems that it is not as simple as she thought.

Feng Fu glanced at her, fearing that the other party might misunderstand the suzerain, so he explained patiently: "Because we don't need to treat each other as 'human beings' at that time. This sounds strange, doesn't it? It's the rules of human beings, but what we do is to break the rules - you don't seem to understand the rules of martial arts, the rules of sects, clans, relatives and friends are all fake, specially used to fool those incompetent fools, The real rule here is life and death. If you treat yourself too much, you will easily treat others as people, and you will be killed easily. Therefore, even those who are close to you must maintain the cold-blooded cruelty of the "beast", or , only for those who are close to her, she will personally teach. At this time, one side is the whetstone, and the other side is the blade."

Xu Chuilu was silent for a long time, and then asked: "But, are you really willing to accept this kind of tempering?"

"Yes, some people are afraid of suffering and tiredness because they don't know what they want to do, and they don't know what they are—I'm not cursing people." Feng Fu took out her rope dart from her waist, Gently picked up the corner of the silver dart and handed it to Xu Chuilu, "I have known since I was a child that I am it."

"it?"

"Small, beautiful, sharp, everything is indispensable." She said softly, "If it grows too big, it can't be used as a concealed weapon, and it has no advantage when used as a bright weapon. The only thing is that it is small and fast; if its shape is skewed, it can move It shakes and twists and turns, but it is only fluent; if it is not sharp enough, it will be finished, and it will have an empty appearance, and it can only be used as a cheap ornament to pass through the hands of people, and it can be used only sharply."

"..."

"The suzerain, or the Unfeeling sect is this rope. Its existence is not to bind it, but to give it a place to go back, so that it knows where it goes when it is thrown. Rope darts are most afraid of rust, Once rusted, it loses both its sharpness and its beauty, so it needs to be polished from time to time, not to be lazy."

Xu Chuilu said helplessly: "The suzerain did this because you hope and need this kind of encouragement, but what's the use of her treating me like this...?"

Fengfu was also stunned: "Actually, I don't know, you are different from the people I have seen before."

"How is it different?"

Fengfu thought for a moment, and said: "You seem to be only human."

"..."

Xu Chuilu: This is the first time I am happy with such a narrow choice.

The author has something to say: I asked myself: Why is it not over yet?

Me: The next chapter will definitely.
