Chapter 153 Night Talk (Part )

Wang Yao was stunned by Huang Zhong's strange question and couldn't answer it for a long time.

Huang Zhong snorted coldly when he saw this, and said, "Humph, you don't know anything at all and yet you dare to speak so high-soundingly? In the final analysis, you are just like those people before, you just fancy our girl's beauty."

Having said that, without waiting for Wang Yao to come back to his senses and explain, Huang Zhong looked up at the ceiling in bewilderment again, as if he was lost in a distant memory.

"The little girl is from one of the 22 wealthy families, and she is the only daughter of the head of the Star Family. When I was young, I once encountered a disaster. When I was about to escape, I happened to be saved by the girl's father. That's how we met. For the past 20 years, I basically lived in the Star Family. It can be said that I watched Luna grow up."

After a pause, Huang Zhong couldn't help but smile. "Unlike the current state of desolation in Shu, when the Xing family was at its most glorious, Luna was already one of the most gifted prodigies in the family's history, and she was basically designated as the next generation heir of the family. At that time, although the girl was still very young, she was an absolute beauty. It was foreseeable that she would grow up to be a graceful young lady. The young men in the family all took good care of her, and the powerful people who came to arrange marriages for her were enough to surround our Jingzhou city three times. How could a mere soldier like you desecrate her?"

At this moment, Huang Zhong's voice suddenly stopped, and the terrible silence lasted for a full thirty seconds.

"But all this beauty was shattered when Luna just turned twelve years old."

Huang Zhong's face gradually became ferocious, like a wounded lion. His fists were clenched tightly, and the veins on his wrists were exposed.

Wang Yao, who had been listening patiently, seemed to have some idea, but in the end he did not interrupt.

"I never expected that there would be a beast in the Xing family. On a dark and windy night seven years ago, he slaughtered all the members of the Xing family, even his parents! Do you know who he is?"

Huang Zhong sneered and stared at Wang Yao, who had a complicated expression, with hatred, and said word by word: "This beast is the girl's brother! Her brother inhumanely killed the entire family with a knife! "

At this point, Huang Zhong's face flashed with a trace of painful regret, and he said self-pityingly: "It's a pity that when His Majesty was preparing to move into Jingzhou, he specially invited me to come and help him capture the city. When I returned to the Xing family, the tragedy of the genocide had already happened seven days ago. Perhaps, if I had not left the Xing family, the tragedy would not have happened."

".What about Luna?" Wang Yao couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

After hearing Wang Yao's question, the pain on Huang Zhong's face eased a little, like a devout believer who saw hope. His eyes also seemed to brighten a lot. "Fortunately, I didn't know where the obsession came from at that time. I searched for a whole day and night in the ruins of the Xing Family. God helped those who worked hard. Just when I was desperate, I finally found Luna who was unconscious in a sea of ​​corpses and blood. At that time, the girl was wrapped in the blood of corpses for several days in the pile of corpses. She was dying. After that, she became seriously ill and didn't recover for several months."

Huang Zhong looked at Wang Yao, who was in shock, and said, "You've been with Luna for so long, I think you should know her weaknesses, right?"

Wang Yao was stunned.

Huang Zhong shook his head and said, "The little girl's lack of magic power is the sequelae of that time. Even though she is one of the most talented geniuses in the history of the Xing family, she can only exert 50% of her full strength. This is why she has been criticized and despised in recent years, even though she is a powerful magic hero."

Wang Yao was speechless.

Luna is a hero who is extremely short of blue. She can hardly exert her abilities without the blue buff. Wang Yao is aware of this, but he did not expect that there is such a tragic background behind the girl's fatal weakness.

Looking at Wang Yao who was sighing, Huang Zhong's eyes softened slightly and he continued, "Later, I took the little girl around to look for a way to cure the root of her disease. At the same time, I also looked to see if there was any camp willing to take her in. After all, without the protection of her family, she, a girl, couldn't wander around. But the overlords of other camps all disdained to take her in because of the girl's sequelae. Among them were the sons of powerful families who had proposed marriage to the Xing Family as shamelessly as pugs. Seeing the decline of the Xing Family, they all turned their noses up in the air and scattered like birds and beasts. Haha." A hint of cold sarcasm flashed across Huang Zhong's face.

"Just like that, my girl and I traveled around the world as our home until two years ago, when we came to Jingzhou. At that time, Zhuge Liang, who came to Shu from Jixia to help Your Majesty, had just taken up the position of military advisor. After learning about Luna's family background, he took Luna in despite the opposition of Zhang Fei and others. Only then were we able to settle down in Jingzhou City, and it was at that time that I officially pledged allegiance to Your Majesty. A year later, at the request of Your Majesty, I protected Liu Chan, the future heir of Shu, and went to Jixia to study. I was able to return only a month ago at the call of the military advisor."

This is a short story, but it is full of the warmth and coldness of the world. From great ups and downs to returning to normal, the girl has come all the way with great difficulty. Although she is still very young, there are countless bitter tears hidden in her heart.

It was not until this moment that Wang Yao finally understood why Luna had always respected Huang Zhong so much, and why Huang Zhong was so devoted to protecting Luna. To the girl, this old man was her spiritual support, and to the old man, the girl was the apple of his eye.

Thinking back to the time when he always cursed Huang Zhong in his heart, he felt extremely ashamed.

Huang Zhong silently looked at Wang Yao who lowered his head, and said lightly: "The reason why I told you so much tonight is not to win your sympathy. The girl and I do not need sympathy. I just want to tell you that you only see her beauty, her gentleness, and her innocence, but have you seen the unknown pain deep in her heart? When she woke up in the middle of the night and sat alone on the bed crying with her head in her hands, did you know?"

Wang Yao's heart suddenly felt like it was pierced by a needle, and it hurt so much that he could hardly breathe.

Huang Zhong sighed and said, "The girl is actually very stubborn. Although she has never said it over the years, I know that the tragedy of the genocide has left an indelible wound in her heart. There is no doubt that after she finishes her training in Shu, she will definitely look for her brother. If this matter is not resolved, she will be condemned by her conscience for the rest of her life and will never have peace."

At this point, Huang Zhong frowned and said coldly: "But, I didn't expect that a soldier like you would appear out of nowhere in Jingzhou. In my opinion, you are a variable for the girl. In order to prevent you from getting into danger, she went against her conscience and seemed to have given up the difficult road of revenge. She is too kind and always thinks of others, but often ignores herself. If you really want to be good to our girl, then can you bear to see her suffer in silence for the rest of her life? If you are willing to share weal and woe with her, how can you, a mere soldier, a humble existence like an ant, help her revenge?"

"Answer me, Wang Yao." Huang Zhong stared at Wang Yao's face and asked again word by word: "Do you really understand our girl?"

The moonlight is hazy and the stars are dim.

With a creaking sound, Wang Yao gently pushed open the bedroom door.

In the elegant room, clear moonlight seeps in from the window, and the air is filled with a charming fragrance.

The white-haired girl was lying on her side on the soft bed, sleeping soundly. The white cotton blanket covering her was reflecting a holy light under the moonlight, which was reflected on the girl's peaceful sleeping face, making her look as beautiful as an angel.

Wang Yao walked over gently, sat quietly beside her bed, stretched out his hand, and slowly brushed away the soft hair covering the girl's cheek.

There is no doubt that she is a little slow, but also naive and cute. Despite her miserable life and many vicissitudes of life, after knowing her for so long, Wang Yao has seen her smile the most.
How stubborn and strong does one have to be to make a girl whose heart is already broken into pieces show such an innocent smile?
Wang Yao couldn't understand why a person's strength could never be measured, so he sighed silently, stood up gently, and walked out of the room quietly and firmly.

At this moment, the soldier's gaze was more determined than ever before.
　Second update, go to bed.
