Coiling Dragon Chapter 5: Rose in winter (on)
On the next morning, at the dining table in the Baruch family's living room, lei was surprised to find that his father was radiant and even his mental appearance was completely different.
Hanging down the knife and fork in his hand, Hogg looked at lei with a smile: "Lin Lei, staying at home for a while this time, my father hasn't seen you for a long time, let's get together."
Father let himself stay at home for a little longer?
Lin Lei is a bit surprised, after all, my father has never said such a thing for so many years. Lei had planned to go to Finlay City for a look at Alice by the way. But at this time Alice had been left behind.
"Okay, father." lei nodded happily.
Hogg nodded joyfully, but there seemed to be something more in Hogg's eyes.
...
Lin Lei stayed in Wushan Town for more than ten days, and even after the start of the next semester of Ernst College, he didn't rush back. Hogg did not urge LEI to go to college.
On the east mountain of Wushan Town, beside Lei River, Lin Lei sits cross-legged and meditates quietly to refine the magic power.
Earth elements and wind elements penetrate into the body from all parts of the lei. The bones, muscles, and meridians of the whole body naturally absorb the elements to improve the physique. These earth and wind elements are greatly absorbed after a small amount is absorbed Part of it was refined and finally flowed into the position of Dantian in the chest.
Haina and Baichuan, the elements flowing through the meridians all over the body finally gather here.
It's been half a day since lei was sitting. When lei opened his eyes, already was sunset.
"It's time to go back to the college." lei stood up and exhaled. "Since I gave the magic crystal nucleus to my father, my father's attitude towards me has become much better and more cordial."
In the past ten days, it should be the ten or so days in which Lei got along with Hogg most harmoniously.
"Why did my father make such a big change? The magic crystal core? Shouldn't my father be because of money. Or ... the scar on my body?" Lin Leisi thought about it, but he couldn't be completely sure why his father would be like this all of a sudden. it is good.
Boo Han asked warmth, this word can fully explain Hogg's attitude towards lei.
Stepping into the Baruch family mansion, Lin Lei saw his father reading the book at a glance: "Father, it's darker, so let's wait until tomorrow to read the book."
"Oh, lei is back." Hogg closed the book with a smile. "You make sense, I'll see it again tomorrow."
"Lei, you've been thirsty after practicing for so long." Hogg picked up the kettle on the side table and poured a glass of boiling water. "Come, moisten your throat. The temperature of this water is just right, not hot or cold. . "
"Thank my father." Lin Lei felt warm.
Hog has treated lei this way for the past ten days or so. In the past, Hogg was always serious. Rarely shows such a warm side.
Drinking tea, Lin Lei said, "Father, I have been at home with already for a while, and I plan to go to college tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?" Hogg froze slightly, then nodded, "Well then. By the end of this year, you should come back earlier."
"Well," lei responded.
Hogg whispered: "Lei, your father doesn't have much ability, and the family will rely on you later. You gave me this magic crystal nucleus, which is enough for your brother's expenses in the O'Brien Empire. Here it is To the point, I am very satisfied with already, but I still remember the shame of our family in my heart. I hope you don't forget that the heritage of our family is still outside. "
Lin Lei felt his father's hope for himself, took a deep breath, and nodded slightly.
"I don't have any other cravings now, I just want to see the sword" Slaughter "before I die." Hogg's voice was very low.
LIN Lei felt the atmosphere was not right, and said immediately, "Father, don't be so negative, you are only forty years old now, and you will grow up in the future. I am confident that in less than ten years, I will definitely bring back the sword of slaughter. , Into the clan of the family again. "
"Ten years, okay, okay." Hogg nodded slightly.
...
The lei left Wushan Town at noon the next day, and in the Baruch family's living room that night, they sat with two people, namely Hogg and Hillman. The living room door was closed, and the generation of magic crystal nuclei was on the dining table.
Hillman was stunned by such a bag of magic crystal cores, and Hogg said, "Hillman, I will sell these magic crystal cores in the near future, and these gold coins hope you to keep them for you."
Hillman suddenly woke up and said quickly: "Master Hogg, no, how can you give me such a great fortune. Can't you take charge of it yourself?"
"Hillman, don't call me Lord Hogg. Just call me Hogg Brother." Hogg smiled very kindly.
Suddenly Hogg stood up, facing the east: "You said I was in charge? Haha ... Hillman, you probably know the best about our Baruch family and about my Hogg."
Hillman froze. He didn't know why Hogg mentioned it.
"Please hide in your heart already for almost eleven years. For the past eleven years, I feel my heart is being bitten by an ant. I have been patient for a long time, day after day, year after year. Years ... in an instant, it's been eleven years. "
Hogg trembled slightly.
Hilman's face changed suddenly, and he stood up suddenly, horrified: "Master Hogg, do you want?"
"Yes, I must investigate the events of that year, and I must avenge Linna." Hogg's face was sullen, and his expression was shameless.
"Master Hog." Hillman said quickly, "Did we not investigate at the beginning? The enemy's power is huge, and if you only find that part, already is terrible. If you go to investigate, you may lose it Life. "
Hog yelled: "Death? I'm still afraid of death? Hillman, you don't even know my pain in the past 11 years, that kind of mental torture. I've had enough already. Now lei gave me The value of this magic crystal core should be around 80,000 gold coins. It is completely enough for Wharton's expenses. With this gold coin, I have no burden on already. "
"I have been patient for so many years, for what? Not two sons, now lei is growing up, Wharton is also in the O'Brien Empire. I have nothing to worry about in already.
Hog clutched Hillman's shoulders with both hands, and stared at Hillman's eyes: "Hillman, although you call me Lord Hogg, but for so many years, we are brotherhood. I hope you can fulfill me. "
"Hogg, you ..." Hillman was anxious.
Hillman is very clear that once Hogg really goes to check the events of that year, he will probably lose his life.
"I've made up my mind, Hillman, you know, I'm not as good as death in these days." Hogg's eyes were reddish. Hillman's heart was full of seeing Hogg Helpless. He could understand Hogg's idea.
Why has Hogg been so harsh and indifferent all these years?
Others don't know. Hillman knows very well that before lei and wharton's mother 'linna' died, hogg was a very cheerful person. Then since Linna died, Hogg's temperament changed.
Although Hogg said that Lena is difficult to give birth to, but Hillman, butler Hilly and others still know the facts.
"Hillman, you don't need to persuade me anymore, I just ask you, can you help me?" Hogg stared at Hillman.
Hillman gazed at Hogg for a moment, and finally sighed weakly: "Well, I help you." Hogg's face could not help showing a smile, a smile of relief.
