"So... Lord, are you planning to deliberately hide the truth to protect yourself from those with evil intentions?"
Before opening the door, Yuan Mao finally couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, and deliberately lowered his voice, asking half in speculation and half in certainty.
Hearing this, Lu Yuan paused slightly.
But at the next moment, he took steps again.
The extremely calm explanation instantly turned Yuan Mao, who was standing at the door, into a daze.
"No."
"I'm just afraid of dazzling my eyes."
Watching Lu Yuan slowly leave, getting further and further away from him, after being stunned for a moment, Yuan Mao closed the door with a heart full of silence and limped after him.
She just knew...
The Lord has always been so out of tune!
It was like this when facing those two fairy girls, and it was still like this when facing her.
If it weren't for the purpose of guarding against those with evil intentions, would it be necessary to cover your eyes with black cloth on purpose after your eyes are healed?!
Isn't this just a hole specially dug, waiting for those with evil intentions to jump in!
but...
Although Yuan Mao realized this, she obviously still did not realize deeply how many problems Lu Yuan saw in a bowl of not-so-palatable food!
Would Shenshan Mountain Village make such unpalatable food?
Lu Yuan felt that there was a high probability that he would not.
Especially since his current status is not low.
Even if it is not as good as the Dongfang Huaizhu sisters in terms of food, clothing and clothing, it is still comparable to Jin Renfeng, the elder brother of Shenhuo Manor.
But is this what Jin Renfeng eats?
Lu Yuan felt that probably not.
Do you really think Jin Renfeng has a good temper?
Or do you really think Jin Renfeng can't tell that the cooks are fooling him?
If you really see this kind of food...
Lu Yuan felt that there was a high probability that Jin Renfeng would directly pour out a pure Yangyan without saying a word and turn the cook who fooled him into a dish!
The idea is a bit exaggerated.
certainly.
It's also a little cruel.
But the logic is basically correct.
Therefore, it can be inferred that these dishes are most likely cooked by those children.
After all, for cooks, they either don't cook it, or they cook it well, and they don't deliberately disgust people, or use this method to give him a blow. Do you really think he won't use these excuses to complain?
Although it is a trivial matter, it is indeed accurate!
But it allows children to cook with their own hands...
It must be that these children have noticed that something is wrong with some people, or the current situation has made them feel strongly uneasy.
Lu Yuan knew that he was currently the backbone of this small force; and he also believed that those children also knew this truth.
Therefore, under the threat of death and coldness, there is only one way to ensure that his core pillar will not collapse.
But Lu Yuan's idea was a little off after all.
He did guess most of them right.
But he didn't expect that for these clever children to put on such a defensive posture, they must have suffered a heart-wrenching backstab!
That’s right!
Backstabbing from a small group of people!
Backstabbing from a small group of former companions!
Precisely because they are smart, when they feel that there is no hope, they will decisively and without any burden betray their former companions as a basis for their next advancement!
Cleverness is indeed a double-edged sword.
"so..."
"It's really not as good as a dog..."
He calmly withdrew his gaze and allowed Yuan Mao to support the traitor who suddenly fell down, foaming at the mouth and limp body. Lu Yuan silently rubbed his temples. No one could see that he was here at this moment.
idea.
Lu Yuan admitted.
His slander just now was indeed rude.
But in reality, it seems very real.
You take a dog out of a beggar's den, relying on a long and equally miserable experience, and receiving decent treatment after taking it out. When the dog sees you again, even if it pounces on you less kindly, it will
Will wag its tail to express welcome!
After all, he could have chosen not to take it with him in the first place!
And when he originally chose to bring these beggars out, he was betrayed by a few people before he was released or even made a final decision!
It is precisely because I am too clever that I have lost my sense of gratitude!
It is precisely because he is too clever that he loses his basic position!
These two sentences are absolutely correct when used here!
However, Lu Yuan was not angry.
On the contrary, he is actually quite lucky at the moment.
Although he was happy, Lu Yuan also felt funny and sad for those betrayers.
after all...
He had expected it at the beginning, but he never thought that this situation would actually happen; and how could he not be prepared for something that was expected?!
Big waves wash away the sand.
These are the treasures left on the beach after the tide goes out!
However, after counting the children in front of him who had shrunk by almost half through the black cloth, although he couldn't bear it, Lu Yuan decided to let the second wave come up and take another photo.
therefore...
With a cold wave of his robe, Lu Yuan did not comfort these dark and uneasy children. Instead, he calmly said to Yuan Mao, who looked uneasy next to him:
"I chose to bring them out in the first place just for the sake of your half-baked buns. I had nothing to do with them at all."
"As for you..."
"Whether you are willing to continue to follow me, a blind man, is up to you!"
"Anyway..."
Stepping out of the threshold ruthlessly, pretending not to notice the complex gazes behind him, Lu Yuan made a conclusion on the matter without a trace of emotion:
"Don't think that loyalty can gain anything from me. After all, the rumors I heard on the way here do make sense."
The remaining ten children in the room couldn't help but look at each other after hearing this, and then hesitantly looked at the eldest sister who was still in the room, hoping that Yuan Mao would give them a correct choice.
After all, the original plan to dig the hole was proposed by this eldest sister who was very prestigious among beggars.
But that was the beginning.
This is now.
Despite Yuan Mao's constant persuasion in the past two days, there are still many smart beggars who have chosen another path that looks bright.
Times have changed.
People's choices will also change.
"Do you... still believe me?"
After being silent for a long time, Yuan Mao glanced at the traitor who was thrown on the ground and probed with some caution.
She naturally heard something wrong with what the Lord just said.
Therefore, after thinking for a moment, Yuan Mao had guessed what the Lord was thinking.
But even though he had guessed and knew that this was another round of screening, Yuan Mao still couldn't suppress his intolerance towards these companions and bit the bullet and tried to give these companions some hints.
"believe..."
Sparse sounds sounded.
But no matter how it sounds, it sounds weak.
Just after being persuaded by the traitor, I happened to be caught by the eldest sister, and then I was scolded by the people who were about to follow me, and it seemed that I was politely rejected by their followers...
to be honest.
It's already good that these successive blows didn't cause these children to rebel directly!
See what kind of treatment these traitors enjoy?
There was no scolding from the boss, and all the tasks they were assigned were light. It is said that the boss also promised that as long as they worked hard, they would have the opportunity to learn Taoism in the future!
On the other hand, the boss here...
In short, such a comparison really hurts their little self-confidence!
"Since you believe in me, then continue to persevere."
While Yuan Mao was talking, an impatient scolding from Lu Yuan could be heard outside the door. After a moment of hesitation, Yuan Mao finally left the room silently without saying anything more.
Yuan Mao's actions also made the children in the room feel even more intense.
Not long after, a few small hands chose to grab the traitor who had suddenly fainted for some unknown reason, and shook the traitor awake...
Perhaps, they are no longer qualified to call this traitor a "traitor"...
after all...
In a sense, they have become colleagues at this moment.
Only a few children remained silent and huddled in the corner, allowing the traitor who had woken up from a coma to continue his speech...
...
silence.
It wasn't just Lu Yuan who remained silent.
Even Yuan Mao, who was limping behind him, remained silent.
No one spoke first.
For Lu Yuan, opening his mouth to explain was completely unnecessary.
As for Yuan Mao...
There are so many questions she wants to ask!
Why didn’t the Lord announce on the spot that his eyesight had been restored?
Why did you deliberately let her finish those two sentences before calling her out?
Why would you say such heartless words?
But she knew that these questions were not questions that could be asked in public!
Therefore, she can only remain silent!
But all the looks around him that contained sarcasm, disdain, and pity, as well as the pointing words of the Taoist priests wearing the standard robes of the Shenhuo Mansion, made Yuan Mao feel so helpless every time he took a step forward.
Although she sees hope...
But this glimmer of hope is doomed to be unable to change the "eye-catching" treatment she is receiving at this moment, nor can it change the "thousands of people" treatment she is receiving at this moment!
"Looked up."
The boy's low but slightly magnetic voice sounded in his ears.
Yuan Mao subconsciously raised his head.
Immediately, he saw Lu Yuan who stopped and stood in front of him, with his hands behind his back and his head held high!
She didn't see Lu Yuan turn around.
I also didn't notice that this sentence didn't attract the attention of the people around me.
Frowning slightly, Lu Yuan's Adam's apple moved up and down unnaturally, suppressing the tingling sensation that suddenly appeared in his throat, and then continued to use this disadvantageous but effective sound transmission method to Yuan
Mao said:
"Self-esteem, self-improvement, self-reliance, self-confidence."
"If you want to change your destiny, you must do the above four points."
"Respect yourself."
"Work hard to become stronger."
"It exists independently."
"Believe in yourself."
"Just like you asked them just now, please think about it carefully..."
"Do you believe me?"
"No need to answer."
"If you believe it, then do it for me!"
Raising his hand to touch his Adam's apple, a complicated look flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes. He ignored Yuan Mao, who was deep in thought behind him, and instead continued to walk forward with his head held high.
What he needs is a leader who can be trained.
Even if this superior is very immature now...
But he definitely doesn’t want to cultivate a worthless, thoughtless puppet or waste!
That's just causing trouble for himself!
But compared to him who is decisive in killing but too straightforward...
The current Yuan Mao is still too fragile!
After seeing that his intention just now was for screening, not only did he still maintain a hesitant attitude, but he even became a little inferior because of the harsh words of the people around him?
What kind of glass heart is this!
Lu Yuan's subsequent slander was not heard by Yuan Mao.
But those words that were mixed with a bit of hatred for the iron that cannot be transformed into steel did give Yuan Mao a heavy blow, but they also awakened Yuan Mao from his wild thoughts.
Standing there quietly, she raised her head and looked at Lu Yuan's back as he walked further and further away. After a brief moment of self-examination, a glimmer of understanding flashed through the girl's clear eyes.
The Lord is right!
She respects herself; what does the cynicism around her have to do with her?
She just needs to be herself!
Work hard to become stronger; if she had strong strength at this moment, those sarcastic words would not exist at all!
It's impossible for her to hear it!
She exists independently; even if she no longer has a master to rely on, facing this situation, can she still choose not to live?
Wouldn’t that be just following the wishes of these cynical people!
Believe in yourself...
So what if the leg is lame!
Perhaps those cynics were not deliberately attacking themselves, but were just attacking the Lord who held his head high and his chest high!
But she felt frightened by the cynicism that did not attack her, and she was even unable to face her own shortcomings...
Comparing it with the Lord's magnanimity, Yuan Mao at this moment simply felt ashamed!
Take a deep breath and then exhale slowly.
The slightly trembling body seemed to have calmed down again because of this breath. The inner lake that had just been violently turbulent also instantly returned to a calm state, as did the girl's calm eyes at this moment.
Yuan Mao straightened her waist. Although she did have physical defects, she still stepped forward in a neither humble nor overbearing manner, chasing the standing figure in front of her with one foot deep and one shallow.
She believes in light!
So she is willing to work hard to make herself better in order to touch the light in front of her!
but...
"Believing in the light in the darkness...ahem...is also a very excellent...ahem...excellent quality!"
While muttering to himself, Lu Yuan couldn't help but let out two coughs, causing several disciples of Shenhuo Manor who were passing by not far away to subconsciously stay away from this "connected person".
certainly.
There are also rumors that this man is the "illegitimate son" of the old village owner...
In short, from the day Lu Yuan entered the house to now, there have been more than four or five versions of the story...
As for the original...
That’s more!
Quietly waiting for the limping girl to run up to him out of breath, Lu Yuan continued to wait for a while until Yuan Mao regained his breath before picking up his steps and walking forward again.
"Now..."
"We are going to visit our allies, and then ask the master."
"Listen to their opinions first, and then ask Master if I, as an important supporting role in the banquet, need to make any preparations before the apprenticeship banquet."
"if there is not..."
"Then it's the familiar stage of seeing one's tricks..."
The low and slightly hoarse voice dispersed with the wind.
Lu Yuan and Yuan Mao also left here in a state of being watched by thousands of people.
This is a scene that is imprinted in the minds of many disciples of Shenhuo Mansion.
because...
