The Legend of Swing Sword and Execution of Demons

Chapter 464

I don't know what Xiao Hua thought of, but the eye sockets as big as copper bells were moistened with tears in an instant.

Luo Piaoling obviously didn't glance at Xiao Hua, but she seemed to know what happened.

Niu Kelian didn't dare to look at Xiaohua.

As usual, after bursting out with grievances, children always run into the arms of adults or run away secretly to find a place to vent their tears.

But Xiaohua didn't do that.

Perhaps this is the so-called poor child who is the head of the family early. Before coming to Niu's house, Xiaohua has been living with her parents in a frugal life. It cannot be said that it is hard, but she must be poor. Growing up, always three or four years older than children of the same age.

With the mind of a ten-year-old child, he can basically understand what the adults said in the morning.

Xiaohua understood and had her own opinion.

She tried her best to control her emotions and said: "When my father and mother were still there, they always told me that they used to live in the mountains and collected medicines for a living. The village was poor, and many people were illiterate, and they were also illiterate. After I came to the seaside suddenly, I found that life here is better than in the mountains, but it is difficult to live a good life without literacy, so I had to go out to sea with others to learn to fish. This is not the most profitable way here, but it is the way to survive with the most opportunities But the way to live depends on God's food. When you are lucky, you can eat more. When you are unlucky, you don't have to eat. When God is not happy, you will even take your life..."

It was still a bit difficult for Xiaohua to finish a long paragraph, but she still tried her best to finish it without any interruptions, and then she firmly opened her eyes and did not squint, but it was a pity that she couldn't stop the tears from streaming down.

Seeing this, Luo Piaoling looked as usual.

Xue Qinghuan curled her lips, obviously not feeling well.

Meng Chaoge grabbed the hem of the skirt, wanting to hug Xiaohua to comfort her, but felt the strength from the little girl.

Niu Kelian couldn't bear it, but he couldn't bear to turn his head away, facing Xiao Hua, how could he escape?

"Those days are meaningless days. They always say that they have to save some money to ask my husband to teach me how to read, so that Xiaohua can have a chance to live a meaningful life."

Xiaohua's eyes were burning, staring straight at Niu Kelian's gaze that finally moved over.

"Daniu taught Xiao Hua how to read and write, and Xiao Hua understood many, many characters. It's a pity that these parents and grandma can't see them, and it's a pity that the life they live now is still meaningless!"

Niu Kelian's body trembled slightly, and he asked, "Is life meaningless now?"

"Every day, you go out early to the port to move things, and go home early to play with me after moving, occasionally cook something different for me to eat, and buy something different for me to play with." Xiaohua said Looking back at the goldfish bowl, he turned around immediately, "Daniu is trying to make every repeated day different and interesting, but it is always a repeated day, and such a day is meaningless !"

The corners of Niu Kelian's mouth became bitter and sticky unknowingly, and he said for a long time: "Then what should Da Niu do so that Xiao Hua feels meaningful?"

"Do something that Da Niu once wanted to do, but later, he dare not do until now."

Xiaohua looked at Luo Piaoling while talking.

Feeling Xiaohua's gaze, Luo Piaoling turned his head and smiled at Xiaohua.

What was Niu Kelian's status?

One of the five tiger generals in Zhongzhou, he can reveal everything about the battlefield at a glance, so why bother so much?

The many long speeches I have come here this time are not addressed to Niu Kelian from the beginning to the end.

But to Xiao Hua.

Unexpectedly, Xiaohua also realized this at this time.

Luo Piaoling thought in his heart: The little girl who can be the companion of the national guardian tiger is really extraordinary.

After a while, Niu Kelian finally said slowly: "I understand."

"However, why should I take Xiaohua out of Jinzhou City?"

This question was asked to Luo Piaoling and the other three.

Seeing the miraculous changes in the situation, Xue Qinghuan also comprehended the key point, and her admiration for Luo Piaoling had to go up to a higher level. At this time, she finally got the conversation, and said, "Didn't Xiaohua's parents come from near the Lingnan Medicine Valley?" Walked out of the mountains? It’s only reasonable to take Xiaohua back to her parents’ hometown to have a look.”

Niu Kelian was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Luo Piaoling and the others to investigate so carefully, then he thought that doing things like this was really very appropriate, and he trusted these young people a little more in his heart, he nodded in agreement and said: "Then When should we set off?"

I saw Meng Chaoge took out a folded letter paper from his bosom and handed it to Niu Kelian, after he took it, he said: "Uncle Niu still needs to keep the route above in mind, we will go all the way from Jinzhou City to Medicine Valley We have made arrangements to ensure that Uncle Niu and Xiaohua are safe, we have calculated the approximate schedule, and we can arrive within a month without rushing."

While speaking, Niu Kelian had already started to memorize the information on the paper.

Xue Qinghuan solemnly said: "If you encounter an unexpected situation and are forced to change your route, leave a mark in the lower right corner of the letter along the way, Daoyimeng, Tingyu Pavilion, and Yiqu Liunian Pavilion will go to help in time."

"I can only trust these three parties or those who are entrusted by these three parties." Meng Chaoge followed closely, and at the same time glanced at Xiao Hua, and felt relieved after receiving her confirmation.

mark?

Niu Kelian is also a cautious person, this mark is a last resort, and he has followed the words of the two to look at the bottom right of the letter paper.

That is a "".

Perhaps this is not a word, but a mark.

If it weren't for the beautiful hairpin lower script above, Niu Kelian really couldn't notice the abnormalities in the details of this mark.

This mark, which looks like a "", has a straight and smooth horizontal line, without any outline at the left and right ends, just a horizontal line of equal width.

And if that stroke is written with ordinary brushwork, it should be thick at the top and thinner at the end, but this mark is slightly thinner at the top and thicker at the end.

Decades of military service made Niu Kelian more sensitive to marks than ordinary people. The three of them did not explain that he had roughly understood the meaning of this mark and the use of this mark system.

In an unfamiliar environment, people are accustomed to using arrows to mark the direction of travel. The arrow starts with only one line, so it is thin, and the end is composed of three lines, so it is thick.

Here is to further simplify the arrow mark as follows: the starting point is thin, and the direction is thick.

As for the horizontal line of uniform thickness, it refers to the foothold.

Whether it is a street running east-west or north-south, as long as there is a sign of "", "一" simply represents that street, and "丿" with a thin upper end and a thick lower end represents traveling from north to southwest, or It goes from east to northwest, and one side and one left together in one place, which conveys the meaning: we are going there from this street.

If you see this mark on the grassland or desert instead of on the street, you can stand on the horizontal and vertical direction, and judge the direction according to the thickness of the stroke.

Of course, that swipe can also be changed into a swipe. The combination of this kind of marks is very flexible. On the winding road with forks, you can use a swipe or a swipe of uniform thickness to indicate the foothold, and use the upper and lower ends of different thicknesses to indicate the foothold. One horizontal and one vertical indicate the direction.

In addition to practicality, this kind of mark is simple and inconspicuous. If you don't look for it deliberately, it will only be regarded as ordinary scratches and difficult to attract attention when it appears in the streets and alleys, so the concealment is also good.

Niu Kelian didn't say a word, just looked up at Meng Chaoge and the three of them, then nodded affirmatively to show that he had mastered the usage of the marks.

The three couldn't help but smiled at each other, admiring that Jiang was still old and spicy.

As for Xiaohua, before this mark, her mentality superior to her peers is not enough to show any effect. She is somewhat interested in the charades among adults but is not in a hurry to know right away. Since this mark is used on the road, You can always find a chance to ask Daniel, isn't he?

She just looked at Luo Piaoling and asked, "How about you? Aren't you going together?"

Luo Piaoling replied with a smile: "You go first, we will stay for two more days to deal with some matters."

Xiaohua nodded, half understanding.

Niu Kelian is aware of Luo Piaoling's unspoken intentions. Sooner or later, he and Xiaohua will be noticed when he and Xiaohua leave. They stay here to use some means to deceive people and make people more aware of it later. Only in this way can he and Xiaohua go further and further. Safety.

Niu Kelian turned his head and asked Xiaohua, "When are you leaving?"

Xiao Hua heard the words, and slowly turned around in the room, as if she was taking all the memories hidden in every corner of the room into her mind, the reluctance and nostalgia in her eyes gathered and scattered during the rotation.

After waiting for a while to stand again, he said, "You can leave now."

Niu Kelian was stunned, he didn't expect the little girl to be so able to take it and let it go, compared with her, he was less bold and courageous.

Just about to answer, Luo Piaoling said: "There is no hurry."

Meng Chaoge and Xue Qinghuan were also a little surprised by Xiaohua's answer, but they were more emotional, who knew that Luo Piaoling also said "Don't be in a hurry..."

Luo Piaoling smiled and said, "Celebrate Xiao Hua's birthday tonight, and leave tomorrow."

　small theater:

　　After many years.

　　Looking at the land of Zhongzhou that had returned to peace and tranquility, Niu Kelian's face was full of relief and comfort.

　　Behind him, a young man asked, "Uncle Niu, there is one thing I don't understand. How did you get the courage to leave Jinzhou City?"

　　Niu Kelian laughed and said, "This is all because of my daughter Xiaohua!"

　　The young man was puzzled and said, "Oh? Could Uncle Niu explain it carefully?"

　　Niu Kelian waved his hand and said, "Hey, what's there to say, because, Xiaohua's name is Hua Jingru, and it's Jingru who gave me the courage!"
