But Huo Xiao's inner demons are far more difficult to crack than Zheng Yuan's.
At the very least, the Zheng family has been trapped for several generations, and it has become a routine in their hearts, so they don't have much fear because of it.
Even before practicing this set of exercises, they have already tacitly accepted such a tragic fate. In some ways, they are the people who least care about these consequences.
But Huo Xiao is different.
He was already under considerable psychological pressure.
As far as his character is concerned, he can accept his own failure, but he will never accept his cowardly escape.
But fear will not disappear with his reluctance, it will only wear down his will day after day until he turns into a shrinking coward.
By then this person will really be useless.
Lin Mengya calmly pulled up a stool and sat beside Huo Xiao's bed. ??
"Did you think that I would say some words of comfort to you next, or at the very least, I should use some provocative methods to help you regain hope in life?"
"Oh, innocent! You are not a child anymore, and there is no need for me to coax you."
"Do you think you can use this as an excuse not to avenge your relatives now that you are out of control? Let me tell you, you are totally wrong!"
"While you are giving up on yourself here, your enemies are making continuous progress. Then one day, they will find that your remaining relatives are still alive. Maybe they will be kind for a while, or think that you are useless, so they will let you go.
you."
"But there is another possibility that they want to eradicate the problem, so you can only watch your parents die tragically in front of you."
"It's a pity that you can't do anything, you don't even dare to take action. Because you are afraid of losing control, afraid that you will lose yourself again and become a murderous maniac. By then, your parents may not die in the hands of your enemies, but die in the hands of your enemies.
It’s in your hands.”
"Then how much you should blame yourself! So, since you know that there is a possibility of failure, it is better not to do it. At the very least, you can keep yourself awake enough to accept the result of failure, instead of betting wildly on a vague victory.
possible."
The more she spoke, the more she spoke. Almost every word that came out of her mouth pierced Huo Xiao's heart accurately, like countless small needles, causing him heart-wrenching pain.
"That's enough!" Huo Xiao finally couldn't control himself, turned over and shouted to Lin Mengya.
"What do you know? You know nothing! People like me, people like me." He looked at his hands, with a sadness that was so rich that he couldn't get rid of it in his eyes.
"If I go crazy, who will avenge my grandfather and the others? But if I stop practicing martial arts, then I won't even have a chance to take revenge!"
He covered his face, looking a little lonely and helpless for a moment.
Lin Mengya squinted her eyes and thought, sure enough! Huo Xiao must have known that something was wrong with his martial arts!
Maybe from now on, I can no longer be even half as diligent, maybe I can no longer use it easily, otherwise there is a risk of going crazy.
That's why he was hit too hard and couldn't accept it for a while.
It was indeed a devastating blow to him.
But in Lin Mengya's opinion, this kind of thing is not a big deal.
"Look at you." She softened her expression and her tone was no longer so sharp. Instead, she looked very kind and concerned.
"Since we are all friends, just tell us if you have any difficulties. Everyone can help you think of a solution. Even if it is a dead end that cannot be solved, then at least the two of us can have a drink with you and cry for a while.
Two games are better than holding it in your heart alone."
Huo Xiao looked up at her, wondering what he was feeling.
But it is undeniable that when he exposed his most embarrassing wound in front of her, he was not as embarrassed as he imagined.
He even had some vague expectations for Lin Mengya.
Ha! He couldn't help but laugh at himself in his heart.
How could she, a little girl who doesn't know martial arts, solve this kind of thing?
After all, I am too weak to think like this.
She stood up and stepped forward, patting his shoulder.
"Okay, now that we know this, we won't ignore you. But now that you are no longer alone, Aunt Fang is very worried about you acting like this."
You have to take care of it, but you can't rush it.
What's more, Huo Xiao's psychology hasn't been adjusted yet. At least it's better to think about it when his mood becomes more peaceful, rather than blindly seeking medical attention now.
Lin Mengya's words woke him up.
When Huo Xiao thought of his mother's worried look, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart.
He is really an unfilial son.
"Is she okay?" When he asked her, he felt a little embarrassed.
Lin Mengya glanced at him lightly and said without mercy, "Okay! What's wrong? Before you came back, you killed three families at the mahjong table every day. If you came back later, I guess Aunt Fang would kill all of them."
The people in the yard won’t have any pants left.”
Huo Xiao was stunned for a moment, probably because he had not yet been able to accept Aunt Fang's role as the "God of Gamblers".
She unexpectedly asked, "Did I delay her winning money?"
Lin Mengya didn't have the nerve to speak so clearly, she just felt confident
He nodded, with a hint of contempt in his eyes.
She would not tell this fool that Aunt Fang had agreed with her to split the bill 30-70!
And it’s Aunt Fang’s third, Mo Yan’s precious third, and the remaining four are given to her.
Tsk, as expected, my son was born to collect debts.
Except her son!
Under Lin Mengya's explanation, Huo Xiao quickly adjusted his mentality.
Aunt Fang looked at her child helplessly, her eyes red and swollen, which made Huo Xiao especially blame herself.
"I" opened my mouth, but I didn't know what to say.
In fact, as he grew up, apart from always clamoring for his mother to accompany him when he was a child, Fang Rao didn't have much demand from his mother.
But now he discovered that he had always longed for his mother's care, but it had been vacant for too long, making it difficult for him to get along with his mother at a suitable distance and attitude.
Fang Rao secretly wiped the tears from his eyes.
"Don't worry, Xiao'er. Even if my mother has to sacrifice everything for herself, she will still find a way to make you recover! Even if my son can never practice martial arts in his lifetime, you will always be so powerful in my mother's heart."
"My Xiao'er is the most powerful person in the world!"
This sentence awakened his memory that had long been discarded in a corner.
Since childhood, his mother also praised him in this way.
The first time he practiced martial arts, the first time he picked up a pen to write, there were so many first times that he grew up with his mother.
It should have made him feel extremely ashamed, but now that he heard it, he finally realized the pride and love hidden in his mother's words.
It's just that the mother doesn't want his efforts to go unrewarded, so she is willing to be her child's first supporter.
There was warmth slowly surging in my heart.
The title that had become awkward became natural and no longer forced.
"Mom." He called Aunt Fang in a deep voice, "I'm sorry for making you worry."
Aunt Fang was already in tears.
She knew that the sound of "Niang" meant that the child truly accepted her.
After fifteen years of bitter separation, her child finally returned to her without grudges and recognized her as his mother.
For a moment, Aunt Fang had no other way to express her current mood except crying.
Huo Xiao clumsily wiped his mother's tears with his sleeves.
"Mom, it's okay. Gong Ya said she would help me find a solution. Besides, even if I give up this whole body of work, I still have other abilities. In the future, I will never let our mother and son be separated." r> Aunt Fang nodded, and then she burst into laughter. She held her son's hand happily and said, "You really have to thank Xiaoya and the others. If she hadn't been by my side to take care of me these days, I might not have survived."
This day will not come yet.”
Huo Xiaozhen nodded.
In fact, although he still had other thoughts about Lin Mengya, he had already thought about it.
The only person Gong Ya cares about is Murong Xi.
Even if he could compete with the other party, he could not make Gong Ya's heart turn to him.
Rather than being a villain in vain, it is better to be honest and frank. At least, he can preserve his own dignity and prevent him from turning against Gong Ya.
Besides, as long as the base of the wall is well guarded, it may be possible to dig it out one day.
He has enough patience and can afford to wait.
Fang Rao saw that her son really thought about it, and she relaxed a lot. She asked her son about their daily routine.
"By the way Xiao'er, I told Xiaoya that you were out on business, right? If you come back this time, it won't delay your business, right?"
In fact, Aunt Fang doesn't like to inquire about young people's affairs.
Although Xiaoya also said that there would be some dangers over Huo Xiao's side, Fang Rao still did not stop him.
When the child is older, even if she wants to take care of it, she won't be able to take care of it for a few years. It's better to let him go out on his own. At least he has a trustworthy partner, and maybe he can really make a career.
Therefore, although she is worried about her children, she still fully supports them.
Huo Xiao held his mother's hand with his big hand.
Although these hands have been pampered for many years, they are no longer young.
"It doesn't matter, I've done everything I need to do. I came back this time to celebrate the New Year with you, but something happened on the way and it delayed me for a few days."
He suddenly remembered that he had brought back some gifts for his mother and the others.
It's just that he was too impulsive at the time. In the excitement, he didn't know where to throw everything, and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
These gifts were all carefully selected by him.
"It'll be nice to come back. I'll be relieved to see you safe."
Aunt Fang was beaming. She always felt that her son had grown up and she was happier than receiving any gift.
"By the way Xiao'er, can you stay at home for a few more days this time?" Aunt Fang's eyes were full of expectation, "I'm not not letting you go out, I mean, if it's convenient for you."
"Okay, I will stay with you for a few more days." Huo Xiao rushed ahead of Aunt Fang and agreed proactively.
Aunt Fang's eyes turned red again, and she said in a heavy nasal voice, "Okay, okay! Then you can stay at home and play mahjong with me for a few more days!"
