I watched the child suddenly say this sentence, and his expression froze for a moment: "Why?"
"He does many evil things and behaves surly. He hurts my mother every time... He has never thought about what others think of me, my sister and my mother since he was a child. He only cares about himself... He has never thought about us, so I... ...hate him..." Xia Xiaoyi said painfully.
"If you hate him so much, why do you want to learn from him?" Although I already had the answer in my mind, it was different after all when it came from his mouth.
"I was not willing to learn from him at first... Even when I found out that he was my father, I refused. I even wanted to cut off my own hands..." Xia Xiaoyi shook her head in distress, holding in her hands The sword he held also trembled slightly.
"You didn't know he was your father at first? But you started learning from him, right?" I asked.
Xia Xiaoyi nodded and said: "I hated him very much when I was a child. While other people had fathers, my father was notorious and was known as the Xia Sword Demon. Even though my mother was in a prestigious position, After all, he is not the leader of Jie Jiao, so because of my father’s ridiculous ‘fame’, when I was studying in Jie Jiao and Tiancheng since I was a child, I was bullied like a mouse crossing the street by my companions. They beat me and scolded me. , humiliated me, spurned me... At least when I left my mother, I never lived a day when I was truly happy..."
I was stunned for a moment and looked at the child seriously. I couldn't help but feel dumb for a while, because once upon a time, didn't Xia Ruize also experience such a childhood? The Xia family is huge, and Xia Ruize looks like a member of a high-ranking family, but that is just his external image. In the family, he was ostracized and beaten by his brothers and sisters, which made his childhood and youth extremely cruel. It is precisely because of this that Xia Ruize may be as surly as he is now.
But I never expected that Xia Xiaoyi would take this path.
But Xia Xiaoyi may be right. Without Xia Ruize, it would be impossible for Yu Xiaoxue to master Jie Jiao. No matter how good Zuo Qiuhan is, he still cannot fully master a force that relies on fists to speak. The higher-ups have indescribable difficulties. There are still a lot of helplessness. As for Xia Xiaoyi, who is neither above nor below, let alone being bullied.
"In order to take revenge, you still learned skills from him after knowing that he was your father, right?" I asked.
"Yes... I don't want others to protect me anymore. I want to become strong, so strong that no one can bully me. So when I was being bullied the most, he appeared in front of me and said he would Try your best to make me stronger... I didn't know who he was at the beginning... If I knew, I would never learn the sword from him!" Xia Xiaoyi gritted his teeth and said.
"He has always been like this, knowing when others need what they need most and what temptations they can least resist..." I said lightly.
"Yes, uncle, I was really angry at that time. Why are there such insidious people? Even if everyone bullies me, even if everyone hates me, their hatred comes from the bottom of their hearts. I have never seen such insidious people. Insidious person... So when one day I found out that the swordsmanship taught me was a nine-style unique move, and my master was actually my father, I also wanted to chop off my hand! But when I planned to do this While doing it...he showed up again and told me that he owed our family this. Why can't I get the respect back? Since he lost it, I should get it back from him. All the abilities can be obtained from others..." Xia Xiaoyi said with a complicated look.
I sighed in my heart, Xia Ruize was crazy, but that kind of madness was different from madness. His love for his son also showed this.
"Then you used this ability to win everyone's respect?" I looked at his expression, and there was not much emotion in his tone, because I was also observing the child's state of mind. At this time, even if he said I can detect a lie instantly.
"No... they said I was a monster, and I deserved to be the descendant of that Xia Sword Demon, haha..." Xia Xiaoyi smiled, but tears fell down.
I fell silent and said: "My child, your swordsmanship is exactly the same as your father's, but it does not mean that the person who uses the sword is a bad person. If you learn it and never forget it, it is not a big deal that the sky will fall. People live here In this world, there are more than hundreds or thousands of wrong things done by people who have learned wrongly?”
Xia Xiaoyi looked at me and said, "Uncle, you said the same thing as my mother... She also said that if you learn it, you will learn it. Skills are used by people. Evil methods can also be used in the right way, and right methods can also be used in evil ways. She also cited many things about my uncle to prove that she made me become a person like you... You know, every time I feel confused, my mother will tirelessly teach me and give me the confidence to go on... "
I looked at the child's firm eyes and couldn't help but sigh in my heart. In fact, it is not easy to gain insight into human nature. Even a being like me cannot completely read a person's true thinking unless I use the soul-searching technique. I also get scammed sometimes.
So I will choose to believe everything the child in front of me says, at least now he is sincere.
How could a child who was bullied by Rujin all day long but still didn't hold any hatred have such a bad temper? Although he is Xia Ruize's child, he is also Yu Xiaoxue's child. This child should be more similar to Yu Xiaoxue.
I reached out and touched his head, which was much taller than me, and said with a smile: "You have a good mother. Promise me that you will be good to your mother in the future and don't disobey your mother, otherwise your uncle will not let you go. Do you understand?" ?”
"Don't worry, uncle, I will listen to my mother in everything." Xia Xiaoyi said.
I nodded and smiled: "It's best this way. By the way, is Rujin still bullying you now?"
"That's not the case anymore, but she and I have a very good relationship. When others bullied me in school, she would stand in my way. But every time I did this, I would get others to retaliate..." Xia Xiaoyi He smiled bitterly.
"Huh? You seem to be comfortable with being bullied?" I saw a trace of pain in his expression, but he was also very happy, and I was inevitably surprised.
"It's fun..." Xia Xiaoyi had a green and carefree smile.
I thought to myself that this child is sincere in terms of emotions. I can see that he really likes this child Rujin. Otherwise, anyone who is bullied will not be able to bear it. As long as people have something to support their hearts, they can This may be the reason why Xia Xiaoyi did not become the next Xia Ruize.
