Chapter 64 Xie Guanlan holds the silver butterfly in his palm
Half a cup of tea ago.
When the people in Zhenbei Palace saw Wen Xingluo fall into the river, they felt like the sky was falling.
Xie Guanlan leaned on the handrail with one hand and was about to jump down to save the man when Xie Jing suddenly pushed him aside and yelled, "I'll do it!"
Although he had not been to the battlefield for many years, Xie Jing seemed to be still as sharp as ever. He dragged his strong body down the restaurant and headed straight for the river.
But he was not a very good swimmer. After he picked up Wen Xingluo, he looked quite struggling to swim to the shore in his cicada form.
Wen Xingluo felt an inexplicable sourness at the tip of his nose.
Amid the sound of the rising and falling waves, she said, "I can swim. I can swim to the shore by myself."
Xie Jing said gruffly, "The waves are so big, you're like a duckling. If you get swept away, how am I going to explain to Si Si?!"
Wen Xingluo drooped his eyelashes.
Her mother didn't care whether she was dead or alive.
"What's more..." Xie Jing gasped, "You are my daughter. It is only natural for me to save you. I would not trust others to save me!"
He dragged Wen Xingluo to the river bank.
The maids in the palace quickly came over with umbrellas and wrapped her in a warm blanket.
Wen Xingluo was soaked all over and looked towards the distance with trembling eyes.
Not far away, Wen Qingsong took the handkerchief from the maid and wiped Wen Yueyin's hair and neck anxiously: "You are already weak, how can you go to the river?! Now the cold has entered your body, what if you get seriously ill!"
He is a mercenary man.
But he loves his daughter very much.
Wen Yueyin lay in his arms, her face pale and coughing violently.
"It's all my fault. I caused Daddy to go down to the river to save me..." She choked and beat herself, "I also hate this sickly body of mine. It always drags Daddy down!"
"You are so sensible!" Wen Qingsong said helplessly and dotingly, "You are my daughter, how can you be a burden?"
He was afraid that Wen Yue would catch a cold, so he carried her on his back and left in a hurry.
From beginning to end, he didn't even look at Wen Xingluo.
Wen Xingluo looked at his father's back, his almond-shaped eyes hiding complex emotions, and his fingertips pinching the blanket were faintly blood-red.
Just as she was lost in thought, a rough face with rugged eyebrows and eyes suddenly blocked her sight.
Xie Jing patted her head and said with a smile, "I'll take you home."
Wen Xingluo was stunned.
Xie Jing had already carried her on his back.
His back was broad and strong, and she lay on it, not shaking at all, and sailed steadily through the wind and rain, as if she was sitting on a big ship that would never abandon her, would always be fearless, and would always ride the wind and waves.
So this is what it feels like when your father carries you on his back.
It turns out that my father is like a boat...
Xie Jing said, "Little girl, when you encounter problems in the future, don't always say that you can do it yourself. Your grandmother and I are still alive, and the Zhenbei Palace is not deserted. Why do you have to rely on yourself?"
Wen Xingluo didn't cry when he was swept away by the waves.
She didn't cry when Wen Yue boasted that her father loved her.
But in the heavy rain, listening to Xie Jing's words, for some reason, her nose felt very sore.
She hugged Xie Jing silently and buried her face in his neck.
Xie Jing already smelled of sweat, and after being in the river, his clothes were stained with the fishy smell of the river water.
But Wen Xingluo didn't think it smelled bad.
She said in a very soft voice: "Daddy."
Xie Jing's body stiffened.
The sound of rain was so loud that he suspected he had misheard.
“Daddy…”
Wen Xingluo called out softly again.
The warm liquid flowed into the man's neck.
Xie Jing raised his sleeve to wipe the corners of his eyes, said "eh" heavily, and his steps became more determined.
Top floor.
Fushan held an umbrella for Xie Guanlan, and following his gaze, he happened to see Xie Jing wiping tears.
He smiled and said, "Our young lady is a delightful girl."
Two silver butterflies appeared on Xie Guanlan's fingertips.
The finger bones pull the silver butterflies, dancing on the fingertips.
The drooping eyelashes cast a line of shadow at the corner of the eye.
Xie Guanlan recalled everything that happened after Wen Xingluo entered the palace.
An ordinary little girl, who had never practiced riding, shooting, swordsmanship, and was a little stupid in studying, was able to capture the hearts of her grandmother and others, making them treat her like a close relative.
Although it looks weak, it is extremely tough and strong when escaping from the murderer and swimming towards the shore from the tide, as if there is endless power hidden in that small body.
"Wen Xingluo..."
When the stars fall over the fields, the sun rises in the east, the world becomes bright and all things come to life.
Xie Guanlan held the silver butterfly in his palm.
…
After the Dragon Boat Festival, Wen Xingluo took a carriage to go to school, and took Xie Shian to the Li family to learn kung fu.
The carriage slowly stopped.
Xie Shian rushed out of the carriage in a hurry. Wen Xingluo, holding a military book, poked his head out from behind the door curtain and said, "Something has fallen!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a man kneeling in front of the Li Mansion.
Many people around were pointing at him, but he acted as if he didn't hear them, still kneeling with his back straight and firm.
Wen Xingluo was surprised: "Wen Rulei?"
Wen Rulei knelt there silently with his head lowered.
After falling into the water yesterday, he had a very long dream.
In his dream, he worshipped Li Changdeng, the former vanguard general of the southwest, as his master and became the only successor of Li's spearmanship. All the connections of his master in the southwest were at his disposal. Afterwards, he followed his father and brother to the capital, and not only won the first place in the martial arts examination, but was also appointed by the emperor as the deputy commander of the Jinwu Guard.
He is young and promising, and his career is unparalleled.
After waking up, he exchanged messages with Yue Yin and confirmed that he was reborn.
It’s a pity that I was reborn a little late and missed the opportunity to become a disciple.
But he was unwilling to give up, so he knelt in front of Li's house and begged him to accept him as his disciple again.
He raised his head and shouted resolutely at the gate: "Old General, I sincerely want to be your disciple. I will not give up until I see you!"
Xie Shian said disgustedly: "Are you okay? Old man Li said he would only accept one apprentice. I've been following him for two months. Why are you here to join in the fun now?!"
Wen Rulei glared at him fiercely.
In the dream, Xie Shian was not as glorious as he is now.
He is just a cripple with paralyzed legs!
It’s all that bitch Wen Xingluo’s fault!
If she hadn't been so talkative and rescued Xie Shian from Jinweizhai, how could things have gotten so out of control?!
Xie Shian was tall and strong, so he didn't dare to challenge. When he caught a glimpse of Wen Xingluo getting off the carriage, his eyes suddenly turned red.
He stood up, pointed at Wen Xingluo's nose and questioned: "Even if we wronged you in our previous life, we can still be even if we die together! But why did you deliberately take away my opportunity in this life?! You hate us for being partial, but don't you think carefully about whether it was because you did something wrong first that we favored Yue Yin more?! You have to work harder for us than in your last life, then we will like you!"
Wen Xingluo was amused by him: "Did Second Brother catch a fever after falling into the water and become confused? I can't understand a single word you said."
Wen Rulei was furious. "You must send Xie Shi'an home right now and stop him from learning from my master! In my past life, you were so eager for me to abandon literature and pursue martial arts that you even incurred my hatred and instigated my father to send me to my master to learn skills. Now that I'm willing to learn on my own, why don't you help me pave the way?!"
