[Whirlwind Girl + Tomb Raider] Replaced

The author has something to say:

Yes, this is a side story of Brother Qi Ling based on the good ending NE1.While writing this, I feel that Brother Ling is secretive and great hahaha... Well, Wu Xie is also great, heroically blowing up the bronze door for the benefit of his sister-in-law.

Zhang Qiling is the master of Huo Zhaozhao, Miss Huo's family, from a long time ago.But at that time, Huo Zhaozhao wasn't called Huo Zhaozhao, or she didn't think she was Huo Zhaozhao yet.

At that time, the little girl was only four or five years old, with a fair to crystal clear face, a pair of deep golden eyes, and when she stood there, she had a naive and innocent expression on her face, making it hard to believe that this was A girl from the famous Huo family.

Zhang Qiling was not surprised. In fact, he always felt that the female creatures surnamed Huo were the type who were good at deceiving others by their appearance.Of course, this level of deceit was not enough to impress him at all.

Because he is destined to only be a passer-by in this girl's life.

He stood in front of the girl and introduced himself with a flat expression: "Huo Zhen, your future master."

He didn't say something like "I'm Huo Zhen", because he knew very well that he had Huo Zhen's voice on Huo Zhen's face but it was not Huo Zhen himself. In this case, the girl only needs to know her It is enough that the master is Huo Zhen and has such a face and voice.

The situation at that time was not optimistic, and the organization fighting against Wu Jie's family was powerful. In order to obtain more necessary information, he had no choice but to sneak into Huo's house according to the entrustment of Xie Jiuye who rescued him from the nursing home.The Huo family is just a tool of that organization.

The girl looked at him with blinking eyes, and called out lively: "Master!" Her big eyes were full of curiosity, and her eyeballs were rolling around, her gaze fixed on his whole body. "Master, you can call me An An."

Zhang Qiling glanced at her. "I heard them calling you Zhao Zhao."

The girl smiled with a pure smile. "But Master is Master."

Of course Zhang Qiling understood what she meant.The name Huo Zhaozhao was only on the surface, and the name An An represented her unreserved trust in his new master—at least it seemed that way.

Zhang Qiling appreciates her intelligence, but understands it a little bit.The Huo family has always fought fiercely, and it is necessary for such a young child to understand something.But he didn't cooperate with her intention, and he didn't have the chance to call that kind name.

More often, their communication only needs a look.

Zhang Qiling spent three months teaching her the most basic awareness of self-protection and basic fighting skills, and then accompanied her one-on-one.This feeding move didn't seem to have much effect, even if he used only one hand to lower the standard the previous few times, she still couldn't do three moves under his hands.

When this kind of one-handed-two-handed fight went on for the fifth time, the girl finally couldn't help jumping, and the smile on her face couldn't be maintained: "I won't fight anymore! Master, I can't beat you."

Zhang Qiling shook his head disapprovingly. "You can only know the result if you try anything. If you think in your heart that you can't beat me, you will always lose."

The girl nodded understandingly. "Well! Got it! I will work hard! Although I will never beat Master!"

Zhang Qiling: "..." He suddenly felt that the next generation of the Huo family who had been regarded as a threat by the Wu family was nothing more than that.

Then he weighed it silently, and decided to choke her with something according to the character he is currently playing: "I said, don't reveal your true emotions easily."

As expected, she puffed up her cheeks a little disappointed and aggrieved: "But you are not someone else, you are the master."

Zhang Qiling shook his head unceremoniously: "Everyone is the same."

The girl was shocked by the short four words, she could only lower her head in frustration, and pursed her mouth slightly dissatisfied.

If we want to say when Zhang Qiling remembered that An An was Huo Zhaozhao, it might really have to be postponed to the time when he captured An An in Beijing but was called "Master".But he had to admit that as early as the first time he met An An at the Crescent Hotel, he always had a strong sense of familiarity.

At that time, as Wu Xie's bodyguard, he walked into the private room of the Huo family, and immediately noticed An An who was dressed in a cheongsam and was sitting dignifiedly.It's not because of anything else, the main reason is that it's okay for the girl to change her face, and the smile on her face is so stiff that he can tell it at a glance.

Zhang Qiling would be sorry for his surname if he couldn't recognize this unusual disguise technique and proficiency.

Therefore, Zhang Qiling consciously paid more attention to An An.As soon as he paid attention to this, he found that there was something familiar to him about this girl, maybe it was her temperament, maybe it was her defensive posture all the time.

Zhang Qiling secretly began to recall whether he knew this girl, but failed.Moreover, the girl didn't seem to know him very well.

Then he asked the girl's name.Huo Xiuxiu, this name is undoubtedly unfamiliar.

Zhang Qiling gave up exploring, and shifted his first goal to get the ghost seal and protect Wu Xie.

But the girl came forward and picked up the three of them in a car.Maybe it's Mrs. Huo's meaning, maybe it's her meaning.

The opportunity has come.Zhang Qiling remained calm, suggesting that she take off the mask.

As expected, the girl peeled it off, revealing a delicate face that was both familiar and unfamiliar to him.

Zhang Qiling didn't know what was going on in his heart anymore.

Until she heard her tranced and sincere "Master", she didn't seem to have recovered, she just discerned and called out instinctively.

A lot of things, disturbing and chaotic, flooded into my mind like a tide.

He still remembered the last time they met as master and apprentice, after he accompanied her to feed her, he easily captured her.As a farewell, he didn't hit her hard like before, but just patted her head.

The hair was smooth and soft, just as he thought it would be.

The girl was a little stunned, then raised her eyes and smiled at him. "Master, I will be Huo Zhaozhao from now on."

It turned out that she had always understood the meaning of the name.This bright name is full of various meanings that are destined not to be bright.

Zhang Qiling had no apprentices before, but at that moment, he felt a subtle sense of relief as a master.

He knew her existence since she was two years old, accompanied her since she was four years old, and left her after she was 12 years old.There had been many important decades in his life, but none as pure as this.

Finally, when she was 19 years old, they met again.

Everything after that seemed to be in her expectation.They went deep into Banai for the second time to search for the ancient building of the Zhang family. According to her wishes, he successfully ended the last hope of that organization after paying the price of breaking a wrist.The days when the Huo family was monitored and used by the organization came to an end.

Zhang Qiling understood her responsibility to the Huo family very well, he didn't feel angry, nor did he feel sad about being used.He just felt that they all had a bound life.

Before saying goodbye, he left her a pendant made of special bronze.

It is a mysterious material left over from Fuxi's era, which can be used to adjust memory to create illusions, and even has undiscovered functions, even he himself is not very clear about it.But that pendant represents more than that.

Fuxi's secret is the most important part of his life, a treasure he guards half his life.These days, it's just a promise.

Promise to see you in ten years.

Later, they successfully met again, in the deep and dark underground of Changbai Mountain.

When Zhang Qiling came out of the bronze gate, he saw the girl fainted beside the pebbles, looking thin and haggard.Without thinking about it, he quickly picked her up.After discovering the cold breath on her body, he built a fire to keep her warm.

She quickly had a fever, and she was in a daze, and she was still yelling some strange names in her sleep.He has never heard of "Ruobai", "Senior Brother", and "Baicao".

Zhang Qiling sighed inwardly.He understood why she became like this, but if he had to choose again, he would not give up entering the bronze door.

Not only because of the responsibility of the Zhang family or Wu Xie's friendship, not just because he wanted to disappear in front of her to give her enough time to protect the Huo family, but also because she wanted Wu Xie to be with Huo Xiuxiu without any worries .

There are many things in this world that cannot be explained clearly. The word meaning itself has no meaning.Zhang Qiling's three words are a hint to himself: don't regret your decision.

Fortunately, they finally found each other; fortunately, there will be no next ten years.

Of course it wasn't because Wu Xie used C4 to blow up the permafrost to bury the bronze door, at least it wasn't just because of that.

Zhang Qiling is no longer Zhang Qiling, but An An is already Huo Zhaozhao.
