Sun Haoran watched Qin Yu grow up.
He doesn't like children very much. After all, he sees too many naughty children and is prone to high blood pressure.
But she liked Qin Yu quite a lot. After all, she looked like a good boy with both morals, intelligence, body, beauty and work. No, on the way home, she would step forward to help a pregnant woman who couldn't carry firewood on the mountain road. In his time, wouldn't it be just helping an old lady cross the road?
An eight-year-old child who can do this kind of thing from the bottom of his heart is much more sensible than the average naughty child.
However, such sensibility makes Qin Yu look a little pitiful.
Sun Haoran would always see such a child looking at the stars alone at night and looking into the distance, which was the direction of Yanjing City, probably missing his father.
When King Zhendong left Qin Yu in Yunwu Villa, he rarely came to visit him. Those who didn't know thought that this guy didn't care about the child at all. Fortunately, Sun Haoran was almost observing the family from God's perspective. Otherwise, he would have misunderstood him, and he might even take Qin Yu to teach his irresponsible old father a lesson.
"But speaking of it, this kid is pretty strong."
While thinking, Sun Haoran observed Qin Yu and muttered.
As he saw, Qin Yu was helping the pregnant woman carry wood.
A bundle of wood is naturally not very heavy for an adult, but Qin Yu is only an eight-year-old child, and has never been exposed to the way of cultivation, and has never even practiced physical training, yet he can actually walk as fast as flying.
Thinking about it, if there is no problem with Dantian, he should be a good immortal cultivator.
Of course, even if there is a problem with the Dantian, it does not mean that one cannot practice cultivation.
Now Sun Haoran had to criticize Zhendong King for being short-sighted and believing in the words of a mere golden elixir monk.
He said he can't practice if he can't practice?
In Sun Haoran's view, there are thousands of different paths leading to the same goal, and the path of cultivation is not just Qi refining.
It is important for a cultivator to refine his Qi, but his powerful physique should not be underestimated. He himself took the path of proving the Tao through strength, and started practicing by refining his body.
Although Qin Yu has a problem with his Dantian, if this child really wants to embark on the path of spiritual practice, Sun Haoran will not be able to help him.
It's just that for the time being, Qin Yu doesn't seem to have made up his mind to take this path.
After sending the pregnant woman to the village entrance down the mountain, Qin Yu ran up the mountain in disgrace.
Being able to have such strength at such a young age is probably a result of frequent trips down the mountain.
Of course, this was a pain for the bodyguards sent by Zhendong King to keep an eye on Qin Yu.
Sun Haoran has been paying attention to Qin Yu. Qin Yu will not be in any danger, but others naturally don't know. Therefore, in order to ensure Qin Yu's safety, the soldiers from the thousand elite soldiers sent by Zhendong King will rotate to guard him every day. Work. After all, this is His Highness the Third Prince of Zhendong Palace, how could he be allowed to run around alone in the mountains? Even if there are no bad guys, it's not easy to deal with wild animals.
Also watching Qin Yu grow up, these soldiers also sighed and felt that Qin Yu was pitiful.
"Hey, the Third Highness is still so young but has such a kind heart. How could the prince be willing to leave him alone in Yunwu Villa? He only comes to visit once every two years... Every time I look at the Third Highness and think about the prince, I sit on the top of the mountain late at night. We sat there all night, and it was so cold on the top of the mountain that it felt uncomfortable to look at it."
"Be careful, the prince naturally has his own thoughts, and we are not the pawns to control them. All we have to do is protect the Third Highness..."
"Huh? Someone is coming."
"Don't panic, someone is coming riding a fierce tiger, one of our own."
Amid the discussion of the guards who were following in secret, a strong man riding a fierce tiger came galloping from the bottom of the mountain. He excitedly waved his hands and shouted to Qin Yu who was also on the mountain: "Your Highness! Your Highness and Second Highness, come down." Already!"
"Eldest brother and second brother are here!?"
Qin Yu had a happy smile on his face after hearing this, and immediately turned around and ran down the mountain again.
Although his father rarely came to see him, his eldest brother and second brother came whenever they had time.
Soon, little Qin Yu joined the strong man riding a fierce tiger. The strong man picked up Qin Yu and put him on the tiger's back.
On the road, he knew that Qin Yu must really want to see his relatives, so he took the little guy back with him without saying anything.
"Uncle Wang, let's go! Go see the eldest and second brothers!"
"Hehe, okay! Sit tight!"
············
"It's rare for brothers in such a family to have such feelings..."
In Yunwu Villa.
Sun Haoran couldn't help but sigh when he looked at Qin Feng and Qin Zheng who came to the villa laughing and playing with little Qin Yu.
Qin Yu's eldest brother Qin Feng is sixteen years old this year. He is the only one among the three who is qualified to practice martial arts. He is in good health due to years of exercise. Although he is only sixteen years old, he looks as if he is eighteen. Looks like nine years old.
Little Qin Yu seemed to admire this big brother because he could smash a thigh-thick wooden stake into powder with one punch.
Although in Sun Haoran's eyes, it was no different than child's play, but such a performance in front of children is quite enviable.
But Qin Yu seemed to only feel longing and envy for this.
Sun Haoran could see that as he grew older, Qin Yu seemed to gradually realize the reason why he was sent here.
But precisely because of his understanding, the child seemed to believe that he could not practice if he had problems with his dantian. Therefore, although he was envious, he did not start to take action.
Perhaps there needs to be some kind of opportunity before this child can make up his mind to embark on this difficult road.
Yes, tough.
Sun Haoran knew this very well.
After all, Qin Yu is different from him. No matter how you look at it, he is just an ordinary child with mediocre qualifications. If he wants to achieve something, the training required may be quite difficult.
So he had no intention of intervening unless it was the boy's chosen path.
············
"Huh? Are you just going to stay for half a day?"
Qin Yu couldn't help but feel a little lonely when he knew that his two brothers would only stay in Yunwu Villa for half a day before heading off to a distant place.
"Don't worry, we will come over to see you again."
The two brothers comforted him with a wry smile. They were both training in the army and were indeed very busy. It was hard to find time to see Qin Yu this time.
"Hehe, it's okay. I know the eldest brother and the second brother are busy." Qin Yu was very sensible and did not act like a child. "Don't worry, I have Xiao Hei and Silly Big to accompany me, so I won't be lonely."
Qin Feng and Qin Zheng looked at each other with a wry smile upon hearing this, feeling helpless in their hearts.
The more sensible Xiao Qinyu becomes, the more guilty they feel.
During their childhood, apart from not having a mother, they at least had their father accompanying them. But now the situation is different. His father's plan is imminent, so Qin Yu can only be shelved at Yunwu Villa at a young age.
The key is that although they feel distressed, they can only make the same choice as their father.
It’s not that I was forced, but this plan is really important.
It's about the mother's hatred and... the future survival of the Qin family.
They all understood the truth that no eggs would be left unfinished when the nest was overturned. Even if it was for their little brother, who had no ambition and no talent for martial arts, to live a stable life, they could only do this ruthlessly.
After all, it is better to be alone than to perish.
"By the way, eldest and second brothers! You followed your father to the boundless wilderness. Did you learn a lot about how to lead troops?"
Seeing the worried expressions on the faces of his two brothers, Qin Yu smiled and changed the subject and said, "I know my father is very good at leading troops in war! Grandpa Lian often told me."
"Yes, my father is really good at leading troops in battle! I practiced military chess with my father, and it took me half a year to barely meet his requirements..." Qin Feng replied subconsciously.
"Brother! Ahem!" Qin Zheng on the side quickly coughed and reminded.
Qin Feng reacted immediately and thought that he had made a mistake.
They shouldn't mention these things in front of their younger brother, whether it's marching strategies or training.
After all, mentioning it will only make Qin Yu even more disappointed.
already.
Just as Sun Haoran thought, although Qin Yu was young, he gradually accepted the fact that he was not talented in two aspects, and gradually began to accept a mediocre fate.
In their minds, this is an irreversible fate, and mentioning it repeatedly only adds to the sadness.
And on the other hand, Qin Yu was left at Yunwu Villa because he was incompetent in both civil and military affairs. He could not see his father for many years. Looking back at the two of them, his father spent a lot of energy. He said it in front of Qin Yu. What I do with my father is just like showing off.
Although they knew that Xiao Qinyu was very sensible and would not think so, they felt guilty.
············
Time passed quickly, and the afternoon flew by.
Outside Yunwu Villa, little Qin Yu waved goodbye to Qin Feng and Qin Zheng who had gone away. It was not until this moment that he behaved as he should at this age, with tears shining in his eyes.
"Man, don't cry."
Sun Haoran on the side said lightly, and at the same time stretched out his hand to wipe Xiao Qinyu's tears.
"Silly man, they all think you are a fool, but I know you are not stupid."
Qin Yu stopped sobbing and raised his head to look at the tall young man in front of him who was usually taciturn and seemed to not care about anything other people said or did. Then, as if to confirm, he asked the black eagle on his shoulder, "You Say yes? Xiaohei."
Xiao Hei nodded spiritually when he heard this. Regarding what Qin Yu thought, Xiao Hei had always been on Qin Yu's side.
Sun Haoran just smiled and said nothing.
He never admitted that he was a fool, but he did not bother to pay attention to the criticism of the world.
I just feel that there is nothing wrong with being treated as a fool, it can save a lot of trouble.
As for why he didn't answer Qin Yu's question, he just felt it wasn't necessary.
No need to answer at all, this smart kid can feel it.
"So can you tell me your name? Aren't you angry that I always call you silly?"
As if trying to divert attention from his two departed brothers, Qin Yu returned to his usual playful self with Sun Haoran and Xiao Hei.
"Ha ha……"
In response, Sun Haoran still just smiled and said that he would not be angry.
Then, he turned back towards the villa.
"Ah, wait for me!" Qin Yu quickly followed.
Adults, children, eaglets.
Three shadows outline the mountain path.
············
late at night.
On the top of Donglan Mountain.
In the cold wind, a thin body wearing thin clothes was sitting on the top of the mountain shivering.
It was Qin Yu.
He's not the only one here.
There is also Sun Haoran who is also wearing thin clothes, and Xiao Hei who is not wearing any clothes but has feathers on his body.
The only difference from Xiao Qin Yu was that this man seemed to be indifferent to the cold and was calm and composed.
"Silly guy, Xiao Hei, are your bodies made of iron? Why do I never seem to see you feeling cold?"
Qin Yu asked doubtfully while trembling.
In fact, he would sit on the top of the mountain like this all night wearing thin clothes, which was more or less influenced by Sun Haoran.
Although it is easy to catch a cold, it must be said that the body trained in the cold wind is much tougher than the average child.
Sun Haoran would not watch Qin Yu freeze to death because of the cold. How could a child withstand the night wind at such an altitude for one night? It's just that every day when he feels that it's about the same, he will let the wind blow less.
No one answered Xiao Qin Yu's doubts.
Sun Haoran was too lazy to answer, while Xiao Hei couldn't speak.
Qin Yu shook his head helplessly.
He knows that the stupid guy is not a fool, but he doesn't know why
, this guy is clearly not stupid, but he always refuses to admit it.
When you are having fun with yourself, you do whatever you say.
But when it comes to this kind of issue, they either remain silent or laugh it off.
In desperation, Xiao Qinyu could only start talking to himself.
"Xiao Hei, silly guy, do you know...well, silly guy, you should know that when I was very young, my father was always by my side and he was very caring to me... But then the twelve teachers came, and my father asked me to study with them. Although I didn't like those things, I still studied hard to make my father happy, but if I didn't like it, I didn't like it... So, the six-year-old At that time, these twelve teachers judged that I could not become a superior. I didn't quite understand what a superior meant at the time, but now I seem to gradually understand...
In addition, Uncle Feng said that there is something wrong with my Dantian and I cannot accumulate internal energy and practice...
So I came to Yunwu Villa.
At first I thought my father wanted me to come here to play, so I didn’t think much about it...
but now……
You say...my father no longer values me and cares about me...is it because I am unable to do these two things? "
Still no one answered.
Xiao Qinyu could only look up at the starry sky to find the answer.
In fact, silence is the best answer, and the answer has long been clear in his heart.
"If I could, I should have forced myself to learn the so-called machinations. If I could, I would also like to practice martial arts like my elder brother. But... I can't do it, I can't do it! When I think of those conspiracies and machinations I just have a headache. It’s not me at all to fight with others and be ruthless... I have problems cultivating my Dantian, what should I do!? I just want... I just want to praise me to my father and look at me more, Just seeing my father’s smile again…”
