Xia Haoran looked at the messy and small room in front of him and couldn't help but ask: "Girl, what have you relied on to support your life these years?"
Liu Mengmeng didn't feel anything. While packing her things, she said calmly: "Usually after school or during holidays, I would go out with Grandma Dai to pick up drink bottles and sell them for money; of course, sometimes I met those people on the road.
For bad people with evil intentions, I will also use my secretary to scare them and make them hand over all their money to me."
"The landlady here is a good person. She treats me very well. Over the years, she has only charged me half of the rent. Sometimes when I don't have any money, the landlady will urge me to ask for it, and she will also cook delicious food for me.
Eat. In addition, the head teacher at the school is also very good to me. He never charges me for the tuition fees and will give me good study materials for free."
After a slight pause, the little girl continued: "My mother often told me when she was alive that I should study hard. Otherwise, if you are not literate, you will not understand anything, and you will be most easily deceived by those people in society. So, when the first
After coming to Hangzhou for the second time, I traveled to many places and begged many people, and finally I went to Xiguan Primary School to study."
After listening to Liu Mengmeng's words, Xia Haoran felt inexplicably heartbroken.
The reason why humans are called advanced human animals is because there are many emotions in this species. For example, at this moment, for a normal person, after hearing Liu Mengmeng’s tragic experience, they will all feel the same
Showing a trace of compassion, even if he is a hard-hearted and ruthless person.
Even if they are a killer without any emotion, pity or sympathy, in fact, behind their mask of disguise, they always retain an unknown persistence. The reason why they behave so tough most of the time
Cold-blooded, it's just that their hearts have not been touched.
after all.
The killer is also a human being, a mortal.
For example, when mentioning such existences as gods and saints, people's first impression is of a group of worldly masters who are never contaminated by the fireworks of the world. But in fact, even a high-ranking god or saint has various characteristics.
Desires and demands. Therefore, fundamentally speaking, an existence as powerful as a god or a saint cannot be separated from the fact that he is a "human".
Xia Haoran stretched out his right hand, gently touched the little girl's head, and said in a charming voice: "Don't worry, the master will be here from now on, you just need to study hard and practice hard, you don't need to do anything else.
Worry." Having said this, Xia Haoran smiled and continued: "In addition, the master now has three apprentices. After you officially hold the apprenticeship ceremony, you will be the fourth disciple of the master, and you will also be the fourth disciple of the master.
The second true disciple of Master. Your three senior brothers and sisters are all very good people and will definitely treat you as the closest sister. Therefore, you will have many relatives and will never feel lonely again.
Already."
"Um."
With the use of the method, the little girl's mentality suddenly calmed down a lot, and she was no longer as stubborn and stubborn as before, even nine oxen could not pull her back.
only.
If you want to completely change a person's personality, it requires time, influence of the environment, and living in a
Infection of those around the target. This requires a relatively long process, but Xia Haoran has full confidence in this.
A poor man with a nightmare experience, a seedling that has just begun to grow, a talented young man with great talent for cultivation, whether it is out of a trace of compassion deep in his heart or his persistence in martial arts, Xia Haoran
It's impossible to just sit back and let a talented young man go down the road of no return.
This is Xia Haoran's responsibility!
The little girl was still packing her things silently. Looking at the various whitewashed and patched clothes on the bed, Xia Haoran felt sour and whispered: "Mengmeng girl, I will call you
You are cute. There are clothes and other things in the house. Just pick out some that you want to keep, or that are commemorative to you. The master will take you to buy new ones in a while."
"Of course, as for the remaining things, I will pack them up and seal them up for you. When you think about it, it will be a big memory in your life, right? You must know that great responsibilities will be handed down from heaven, so people must do it.
First, they strained their minds, strained their muscles and bones, starved their skin, depleted their bodies, and confused their actions, so tempting their minds and forbearance has benefited them beyond what they could do!"
"This is also called having to endure hardships in order to become a master."
"In real life, we sometimes inevitably suffer some grievances and sufferings. In fact, this is not a bad thing. Just like your master and me, we were relatively stupid back then and had extremely poor academic performance. Among the more than 40 classmates in the class
In middle school, I was ranked last in every major and minor exam. Not only was I assigned to the corner position in the last row of the class, but I also suffered from the teacher’s glare, classmates’ ridicule, and parents’ anxiety all day long..."
Having said this, Xia Haoran paused slightly and continued: "But even then, the master did not give up on himself or blame others for his mistakes. Instead, he actively looked for his own reasons, changed his learning methods, and finally achieved excellent results and passed the national college entrance examination.
He entered the top Beijing University in China as the number one scholar!"
"I am not bragging to you, but I want to tell you a simple truth. Any unhappiness in the past is actually a kind of training and challenge in our growth process. We are still young and still have a lot of potential.
There is time to enjoy life, and there is still a better tomorrow that needs to be fought for, so we must not be immersed in the pain of the past, we must look forward, understand?"
"Um."
After listening to Xia Haoran's words, Liu Mengmeng responded softly. Then she raised her arm and wiped her eyes, and started to pack her things again.
"Okay, the master will be here from now on!"
Xia Haoran reached out and gently rubbed the little girl's head, and said softly.
Liu Mengmeng's head twisted slightly, then turned to look at Xia Haoran beside her, and said: "Master, I want to go to the amusement park, can you take me there?"
Xia Haoran couldn't help but be stunned. Even his hands that were helping to fold the clothes couldn't help but tremble. You know, this is the first time that the little girl has been so serious and called him "Master" so sincerely.
"No problem!" Xia Haoran smiled slightly and said: "After we pack our things, we have to go to eat first; after eating, I will buy you a few sets of clothes, and then we will go to the amusement park.
.”
"Thank you, Master!" A wave of emotion finally appeared on the little girl's face.
Although Xia Haoran did not use spiritual detection, he could more or less guess what the little girl was thinking at the moment.
At this time, not only was she not as resistant and hostile to herself as she had shown before, but she was also able to call him "master" in person, which was a good sign. This showed that Xia Haoran's sincere words and sincere actions were not enough.
In vain, under the subtle influence, his every move and word and deed are slowly reducing the distance and estrangement between them.
It’s really rare!
a long time.
Xia Haoran straightened up, pointed at the big and small bags in front of him, and said, "Mengmeng, are these the only things?"
On the bedside at this moment, in addition to piles of neatly folded clothes, there are also piles of various books. This is normal. A primary school student’s belongings, except for some clothes and books,
What else could there be? In the eyes of the poor, toys such as cuddly bears that children from wealthy families often play with are already luxuries.
"That's all!" Liu Mengmeng looked around, nodded her little head and said.
A small room that is only about ten square meters at best, how much can it hold even if it is full?
"Okay, master, let me put it away for you first. I will take it out for you when I get to the master's home." Xia Haoran stretched out his hand and all the clothes and books on the bed and on the floor were collected by him in an instant.
Enter the storage ring.
"ah……"
Seeing such an unexpected scene, the little girl quickly rubbed her eyes, walked around Xia Haoran a few times, looked up and down carefully, and said, "Master, what's going on? Can you do magic?"
Where are my things? Where did you change them?"
Looking at the little girl's big shocked eyes, Xia Haoran stretched out his left hand, pointed at the ring on his finger and said to Liu Mengmeng: "Have you seen this ring? This is not the kind on the market.
The ring is a storage ring used by us cultivators, and I have collected your things into this ring."
"But,"
The little girl stared at the ring on Xia Haoran's finger for a moment, pouted her mouth and asked with some confusion: "But master, can such a small ring hold so many things? Could it be that
, is this the legendary Jingle Cat’s treasure bag?”
"Ha ha……"
Xia Haoran was happy when he heard this. He touched the little girl's head and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, the secretaries in Southern Xinjiang are all low-level magicians, so strictly speaking, you are not yet a
You are a true cultivator. You don’t know some basic common sense in the cultivation world. However, don’t worry about this now. You will understand it naturally later. Okay, girl, please go outside the door and wait for a while. I will take care of the room.
Please tidy up the hygiene inside.”
After a slight pause, Xia Haoran continued: "By the way, there is one more thing. If you meet the landlady or Grandma Dai later, just say that I am a distant uncle of yours." Xia Haoran seemed to suddenly remember.
He said, "After all, the less ordinary people know about cultivation matters, the better. Otherwise, others will think of us as freaks, or lunatics who escaped from a mental hospital."
