Ning Wanghai was lying on a deck chair, drinking tea leisurely and basking in the sun.
Next to her, Ning Ruirui was eating an apple, looking like she was hesitant to speak.
"If you have something to say, just say it. There's no need to hold it back. Did you quarrel with Xia Tian?" Ning Wanghai knew his granddaughter very well. After coming back two days ago, he had been testing him intentionally or unintentionally. Apparently he had something in his heart that he wanted to talk to.
He said that he was afraid of hurting his feelings, so he showed such an appearance.
Ning Ruirui smiled awkwardly: "No, I just came back to stay with you."
"I don't know what your temper is?" Ning Wanghai shook his head slightly and said slowly: "It's not a big deal, so why would you suddenly come back? There must be something going on, and it must be decided after discussing with me, right?"
"
Ning Ruirui really wanted to ask her grandfather something. A few days ago, she and Xia Tian went to Huangshan, Nie Xiaoli's hometown, and while helping to deal with some things, she heard Mrs. Nie mention what happened to her grandfather when he was young.
She couldn't help but come back and wanted to ask her father for confirmation, but she didn't know what to say when the words came to her lips.
"Since we didn't quarrel with Xia Tian, could it be that... you are pregnant?" Ning Wanghai didn't know what he thought of, his eyebrows slightly wrinkled, and he said slightly unhappily: "Young people just don't know how to exercise control, and they don't know how to do safety.
Measures. Sometimes you can't be greedy for the quick, you need to consider the future. Fortunately, you are still young."
"Yeah, yeah." Ning Ruirui bit the apple unconsciously, thinking about how to speak, and didn't even hear what her grandfather was saying.
Ning Wanghai looked at Ning Ruirui's expression and thought she was worried about how to deal with it, so he suggested: "As for the child, it can actually be born. If you don't want to take care of it, you can let me take care of it."
"Child?" Ning Ruirui looked at her grandfather with a confused look on her face: "What child? Whose child?"
"It's not you and Xia Tian?" Ning Wanghai was also stunned and said with some hesitation: "Do you have another boyfriend?"
Ning Ruirui came back to her senses at this time, her face turned red instantly, and she said with some embarrassment: "Grandpa, what are you talking about? When did Xia Tian and I have a child? We haven't had a child yet... Well, how could we have a child?"
Baby, I’m not pregnant!”
"Not pregnant?" Ning Wanghai was slightly disappointed, and then he breathed a sigh of relief: "That's fine, but this is also your business, I have nothing to do with it."
Ning Ruirui didn't expect that just when she was distracted, her grandfather would brainstorm and come up with such an oolong, which was a little funny: "Grandpa, you are thinking too much, Xia Tian and I haven't reached that stage yet.
Woolen cloth."
"There's no quarrel, there's no pregnancy, and it seems impossible for you two to break up..." Ning Wanghai was a little confused, "Then why are you so frowning?"
Ning Ruirui hesitated for a few seconds, and finally decided to get straight to the point. There was no need for so many tests between grandfather and grandson, so she said: "In Niejia Town, there was an old lady who mentioned some of my grandfather's past. I want to verify it.
one time."
"Huh? About my past?" Ning Wanghai smiled and said lightly: "What past can I have? Now I am just an ordinary bad old man. I didn't have any great achievements when I was young."
Ning Ruirui said in a calm tone: "In Niejia Town, there was an old lady who said that you were known as bloody hands and a poisonous heart. Not only were you ruthless in your attacks, you also spoke unabashedly!"
When she said this, Ning Ruirui's eyes couldn't help but stare at the change in her grandfather's expression.
"Haha." There was no expression change on Ning Wanghai's face. He just smiled and said after a while: "I guess who the old lady you mentioned is. We had grudges so many years ago and she still holds grudges to this day.
What a narrow-minded woman.”
When Ning Ruirui heard what her grandfather said, she was stunned at first, and then her eyes widened: "Grandpa, is everything she said true? Then what on earth are you..."
"It's not really true, just half-truth and half-false." Ning Wanghai sighed, "Actually, it happened more than thirty or even forty years ago, and I've almost forgotten about it. However, since you have heard a little bit about it,
, then it’s okay to tell you, anyway, it’s just some ridiculous things I did when I was young.”
Ning Ruirui nodded and said with embarrassment: "I feel quite ashamed to say that I really don't care enough about you, grandpa. I know almost nothing about what happened when you were young."
"There's nothing to be ashamed of." Ning Wanghai didn't mind this at all, shaking his head and sighing: "Actually, it was your grandfather and I who made a big mistake when we were young, so I kept it secret like this. If you hadn't asked me now, I would probably have done the same.
After all, it is not a glorious thing to take it into a coffin."
"Made a big mistake?" Ning Ruirui's curiosity was indeed aroused. In her impression, her grandfather had always been smooth and stable in dealing with people. He basically never offended anyone. It was hard to imagine that he would make any big mistakes.
Could it be that... there was something wrong with men and women when they were young?
When Ning Ruirui thought of this question, Xia Tian's face suddenly appeared in her mind, and she subconsciously asked her grandfather: "Grandpa, when you were young, you were not the same as Xia Tian."
Ning Wanghai was lost in memories, but he was angered by these words. He couldn't help but glared at his granddaughter: "What are you talking about!"
"Then what's going on?" Ning Ruirui also felt a little embarrassed.
Ning Wanghai sighed and said: "Hey, I don't know where to start."
"Tell me first, what's the reason for your nickname of bloody hands and poisonous heart?" Ning Ruirui couldn't help but ask.
"That's not my nickname, it was deliberately distorted by that woman." Ning Wanghai smiled bitterly, shook his head, and then explained: "The original nickname was Snow Hand Alone, because I am actually a disciple of the Snow Mountain Sect, and my best martial arts is
Bingpo Snow Hand also likes to be alone, so he got this nickname."
Ning Ruirui immediately heard a word that interested her: "Snow Mountain Sect?"
"Yes, it's the Snow Mountain Sect." Ning Wanghai smiled, and then pointed at Ning Ruirui: "I told you before, you wouldn't believe it, but it's different now. Now that you know Xia Tian, you should quickly get used to it.
Already."
Ning Ruirui was indeed a little shocked, but she quickly calmed down.
A few months ago, she was still an ordinary person. Although she challenged her limits everywhere and enjoyed the pleasure that surpassed ordinary people, she never thought that there were real immortal cultivators in this world. Until she met Xia Tian on the top of the snow-capped mountains.
This opened the door to a new world.
However, she never expected that her grandfather was actually an immortal cultivator and a disciple of a famous family. However, after so many years, their family did not discover it, and even Xia Tian did not see it. Could it be that her grandfather's realm was so high that it was unbelievable?
"You don't have to think too much." Ning Wanghai smiled faintly, "I am not an immortal cultivator. I am just young and frivolous. I want to learn some peerless martial arts, then travel around the world and become a hero. But I don't have any spiritual roots. Even if I join the Snow Mountain Sect
, he is only a disciple of the Wuzong, and cannot become an immortal. At that time, he was even given a name by the master, Ning Wanxiu."
Ning Ruirui felt a little regretful at this time, and said lightly: "Then why didn't you join the Snow Mountain Sect later? Could it be that you made a big mistake at that time?"
"Yes." Ning Wanghai recalled it, showing a trace of regret: "At that time, the leader was in a state of life and death, and all matters were handed over to the deputy leader and the Law Enforcement Hall. At that time, the Snow Mountain Sect had three major spiritual springs.
He is considered the top existence among all sects. However, the Law Enforcement Hall keeps deducting the monthly supply of elixirs and spiritual energy from all disciples, and all the disciples in the sect are dissatisfied. In addition, there was a very important competition at that time, and the disciples in the sect were dissatisfied.
Because of the lack of spiritual energy, he lost the game directly, and the reputation of the Snow Mountain Sect also plummeted."
Ning Ruirui listened with some rapt attention and did not disturb her grandfather's narration.
"Afterwards, there were rumors that the deputy leader was actually an undercover agent of other sects lurking in the Snow Mountain Sect. It was also said that the deputy leader secretly sold the spiritual energy in the three spiritual springs to other sects. I went to investigate in secret, and two of them
The spiritual spring is indeed close to drying up, and the spiritual energy of the remaining one is obviously contaminated and completely unusable."
While narrating the past, Ning Wanghai fell into the emotions of that year and said with regret: "I was young and energetic at the time and couldn't stand the instigation of others, so I went to the deputy head to argue..."
Speaking of this, Ning Wanghai suddenly stopped.
Ning Ruirui couldn't help but ask: "What happened next?"
"Later?" Ning Wanghai couldn't help but reveal a wry smile, "I entered the deputy head's room alone, and he was already dead at that time. Before I could recover, people from the Law Enforcement Hall arrived just in time and took care of him on the spot.
I caught it."
Ning Ruirui was stunned and quickly realized: "Grandpa, have you fallen into someone else's trap?"
"You guessed it right. In fact, the plan was very simple, but I was fooled back then." Ning Wanghai shook his head with a self-deprecating look on his face.
"Does grandpa know who framed you?" Ning Ruirui couldn't help but ask, "Is it because of this that you were expelled from the Snow Mountain Sect?"
Ning Wanghai shook his head: "It should have been like this, but someone suddenly came out to blame, saying that the deputy leader was killed by himself. Based on his confession, the Law Enforcement Hall arrested many disciples. Although I got rid of the suspicion, it can no longer be tolerated.
I left the Snow Mountain Sect on my own, but I gave my name back to the Snow Mountain Sect."
"That's it, what happened next?" Ning Ruirui looked at her grandfather with emotion. She didn't expect that he had such an ups and downs in his youth.
Ning Wanghai chuckled and said lightly: "In the beginning, I relied on my slight martial arts to cause trouble everywhere, so I got the nickname of Bloody Hands and Vicious Heart. Later, I met a master and lost miserably, and then I realized
There are people outside the world, and there are mountains outside the mountains. So I stopped wandering around in the world, returned to Guicheng, married a wife and had children...we have been together until now."
Ning Ruirui couldn't help but admire her grandfather's words as she could guess the dangers involved.
"Hey, it happened so many years ago. I didn't expect to tell you today." Ning Wanghai sighed a little, and then became worried: "However, I have a hunch that people and things from back then may come to my door.
coming."
Ning Ruirui didn't understand what it meant.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and someone shouted:
"May I ask if this is Mr. Ning Wanxiuning's home?"
