"Since we want to lure the snake out of its hole, we can't just sit at home and wait. Let me meet them and see what they want to do?"
"We can also send a bird to pretend to be you and go to the appointment without risking it. You are still young, so I'm afraid you won't be able to compare to that despicable person. What if you do?" Xi Yong looked haggard. This child is so worrying, can't he just stay in a safe place?
"I'm sorry, Father. There are some things that I have to figure out myself. Otherwise, I will live an unstable life." Ning Xia looked at her melancholy father apologetically and pursed her lips. She knew that what her father said was the best solution. She just needed to stay at the rear and block all the swords and swords from outside the wings of her family.
But no. Even if it is for her own heart and for her friends who have known each other for many years, she must go to the front desk, face all the conspiracies and darkness, and witness with her own eyes the almost rotten reality hidden under the bright appearance.
She can't always hide in the ivory tower, she has to "grow up" after all. The dream that has lasted for fifty years is finally waking up.
Ning Xia was leaning on the bedside, looking at the orange setting sun outside the window, and took a deep breath. The baby birds huddled on the bed looked particularly lonely in the afterglow, as if they were about to drift out of here, as if they had reached a world they could not see.
"Oh! It's up to you." The father and daughter looked at each other wordlessly. Xi Yong finally lost the battle and breathed a sigh of relief.
"But Xia'er, you have to know -" Xi Yong's expression was softer than ever before, as if he was looking at the most precious treasure in the world: "Those conspiracies and calculations behind it are all false. Your safety is the most important thing. Everything we are doing is for you. If you don't take good care of yourself, it will be in vain. Don't show off."
Ning Xiaoxia looked directly into her father's amber pupils and nodded slowly.
"You two are like this all the time. You forget about me as your mother when we talk about business. It's really sad. Can't you understand the mood of a woman who lives in a house?" Axiu once again showed off her good intentions. With a gentle temperament, she did not pursue further questions and supported her husband and children wholeheartedly, even though they had to do some dangerous things.
Axiu is the legitimate daughter of a weak family. Her body has been weaker than other birds since she was a child, and she has no talent. She was pointed out to the eldest son of the Xi family because of her grandfather's friendship.
She has always known that she was weak. She could not protect her children when her family was being hunted, and she could do nothing when her children were being plotted. All she could do was to stay quietly in the courtyard day after day. Waiting for the return of her husband and children.
She is an extremely weak phoenix bird. But she is guarding the last piece of pure land in their hearts - home.
She had no way of knowing what her husband and children were going to do, and there was nothing she could do about it. But that doesn't mean she doesn't know anything. She has been watching them silently and giving them strength.
This time she tolerated them silently. Still used
"You guys -" Xi Yong wrapped the mother and daughter in his arms and let out a sigh of satisfaction: "...they are all treasures, my most precious treasure, Xi Yong."
The last rays of the setting sun shone on a family of three huddled together, casting long shadows, closely dependent on each other and never separated from each other.
-------------------------------------------------- -----
The Xi family is very peaceful these days. The eldest son, Mr. Xi, and his second son are both at the Presbyterian Church, and the third son is left at the residential town.
This made other families feel uneasy. What happened to the Xi family? Such a big movement.
At their level, they no longer get entangled in little disputes over interests or being competitive. They are all burdened with a behemoth called the family and cannot act rashly. Therefore, for thousands of years, these big families or hidden families have gotten along relatively peacefully, with few conflicts or quarrels.
The Xi family has been moving frequently these days, and it's also very mysterious. Some families could no longer sit still and wanted to find out.
But at the moment, all the birds' eyes were focused on Xi Taiweng who was stationed in the Presbyterian Church, and no bird noticed the existence of a mere white child in Ningxia.
They also don't know that the reason why the Xi family goes to such great lengths is because of this humble white child.
No matter how suspicious the birds outside are. Ning Xiaoxia remained unmoved and spent her days playing with cats and dogs in the courtyard, waiting for the opportunity.
She calmly put down the flower shovel in her hand, the sky was getting dark, and she glanced at the sun that was almost swallowed up by the western mountains, feeling a little lost.
"What? Are you regretting it? It's still too late to regret it now, but don't get stage fright at the last moment. If you show your flaws, I won't show you a good look." Xi Yun picked up Ning Xia's collar and asked softly against her cheek. He had a fierce look on his face.
However, in the eyes of outsiders, this looks like a bully play to bully my niece. But in fact, the uncle and nephew were communicating calmly, which was very rare.
Feeling that the eyes falling on him were much lighter, Xi Yun's face became even more ugly. He gritted his teeth and said: "When this matter is over, I will definitely clear it up. When will the Xi family be able to tolerate these people?" Little mouse snooping?”
Ning Xia shook her head, and did not forget to show a painful expression in cooperation, but said: "Just bear with it, Zixiao is still useful at first, we still have to rely on them to pass on the information. In the future, we will deal with them one by one if we have the opportunity." Okay. Third uncle, just bear with it for now."
"It's not you yet. You careless little bastard, because of your affairs, you have made the whole family miserable. You'd better pray for the opportunity of the holy pool, and don't let Taiweng's thoughts go to waste. . Get out of here—" He yelled the last two words, shaking the surrounding trees.
Ningxia pretended to wipe her tears and rushed out of the courtyard. He caught a few shadows in the corners of his eyes, and raised the corners of his lips slightly.
When Ning Xia ran out of the courtyard, Xi Yun could feel that all the "little bugs" chose to follow him, and in the end, none of the monitoring eyes were left. Only one bird and bleak trees were left in the entire courtyard.
He suddenly felt a little quiet, much too quiet compared to when the girl was there just now. It seemed as if her leaving had taken away most of the heat.
"Stop hiding, come out, and you guys should follow me quickly. I'm afraid that the two birds I've photographed for her aren't enough, so you hide behind and protect her. Don't let her get hurt." Otherwise, the old man will be furious when he comes back. Thinking of Aweng's angry face, Xi Yun couldn't help but shudder.
There was a rustling sound from the flowerbed, and two black shadows flew across the sky, quickly flying towards Moonlight Mountain.
Xi Yun looked at the two departing figures and did not look back for a long time. He sighed sadly, not knowing what he was thinking.
