Papa Paladin

  Chapter 72 Well-intentioned

  Business study.

  Liang Xuemei opened the safe hidden in the bookshelf, and took out a dark brown sandalwood box.

  She solemnly handed the wooden box to Zuo Yi and said, "This is what your master asked me to give you before he died."

   Zuo Yi took it with both hands.

  Liang Xuemei said, "Open it and have a look."

  Zuo Yi nodded, sat in front of the desk and opened the sandalwood box.

  There is an indigo blue thread-bound book inside the box. The blank part of the cover is written with four vigorous brush characters of "Sword of Merchants", and the signature is stamped with Shanghe's seal.

  Zuo Yi carefully took out the sword manual, and opened the pages in his hands.

  I saw a four-line poem written on the title page: Huo Ruyi shot nine sunsets, and he was like a dragon flying like a group of emperors. Come like a thunderbolt, stop the wrath, stop like Jiang Hai condenses the light.

  Zuo Yi recognized that this was Shang He's handwriting.

  These four lines of poems are taken from the famous poem "Watching Gongsun Da Niang's Disciples Dance Swordsmanship" by Du Fu, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty. It is obviously used to explain the essence and true meaning of the swordsmanship passed down by the merchants.

  Shang He has a high level of attainment in swordsmanship. His family's swordsmanship can be traced back to the early days of the previous dynasty. It has a history of hundreds of years of inheritance, and Shang He has always regarded it as a secret that cannot be handed down.

  Shang He's closest disciples didn't get the True Inheritance of the Merchant's Sword. It's not because he was stingy about keeping his own personal information, but because he thought the talents of his disciples were not high enough.

  Shang Yulin was also included!

  When Zuo Yi was studying at Tianhong Budokan, Shang He used this set of swordsmanship to "seduce" Zuo Yi, hoping that Zuo Yi could inherit his mantle and carry forward the merchant sword.

  But was rejected by Zuo Yi.

   Seeing things and thinking about people, now seeing this sword manual, Zuo Yi couldn't help but recall Shang He's disappointed eyes when he refused.

   Now the Sri Lankan has passed away.

  He turned over the title page, and a picture of sword moves that was depicted in detail immediately came into view, next to which were notes arranged in densely packed small characters.

   Now is the Internet age, and martial arts has been included in the category of sports science. Boxing moves, swords, spears, swords and halberds, and the secret skills of martial arts left by our ancestors are basically systematized and standardized.

  On the official website of the Great Xia Wumeng, all kinds of boxing and sword manuals can be downloaded for a fee. There are really very few antique books like "Business Sword Manual".

"what!"

   Zuo Yi took a look and was suddenly a little surprised.

  He quickly turned to the next page, and after turning four or five pages in a row, he was finally sure that he had already learned the Merchant Sword!

   This is something Zuo Yi never thought of.

  At the beginning Zuo Yi rejected Shang He, how could he have thought that Shang He would teach him the treasured knowledge?

  The swordsmanship that Zuo Yi continued to learn from Shang He later, Zuo Yi always thought it was another swordsmanship.

   No wonder Shang He taught him alone in the sword room at that time, and didn't let him practice in front of others.

  Now the truth is revealed, Zuo Yi has no chance to thank Shang He in person for his hard work.

  He didn't continue to look through it, but put the sword manual back into the sandalwood box.

  Zuo Yi said: "Master, thank you."

   "You and I don't need to be so polite."

  Liang Xuemei said: "Back then Yu Lin's father was..."

   Liang Xuemei didn't go on with what she said, but Zuo Yi knew what she wanted to say.

   Back then, Shang He not only regarded Zuo Yi as a true disciple, but also hoped that he could be with Shang Yulin.

  However, Zuo Yi and Shang Yulin didn't call, and he liked freedom and travel at that time, and he also had his own object of pursuit, so he could only live up to Shang He's good intentions.

  Even so, Shang He and Liang Xuemei still treated him as their half-son and treated him very affectionately.

   Even made Shang Yulin jealous.

   Zuo Yi smiled wryly.

  Liang Xuemei changed the topic: "By the way, next time you bring Bao'er's mother over and let me see."

  She wants to see who is better than her daughter.

   But this made Zuo Yi scratch his head very much, so he could only tell the truth: "Master, I can't bring Bao'er's mother here."

  Liang Xuemei was surprised: "Huh?"

  Zuo Yi had no choice but to explain the ins and outs of the whole thing in detail.

  After hearing this, Liang Xuemei frowned and asked, "Then you should find a way to find Bao'er's mother, at least ask the truth, and Bao'er also needs to be taken care of by her mother."

  Zuo Yi nodded: "I will find a way."

  Liang Xuemei took a long breath and said, "If you encounter any inconvenience in the future, then you can bring her to me. Anyway, I'm fine at home. It's okay to take care of her."

  Zuo Yi said: "Thank you, Master."

  Liang Xuemei waved her hand, and said: "Bao'er is already four years old, and she should go to kindergarten in the second half of the year. Finding a good kindergarten to study will be beneficial to her growth."

  Zuo Yi nodded: "Yes!"

  Although he has been in the world of Sadeya for thirty years, and he has fought in planes for more than a hundred years, but standing in front of Liang Xuemei at this moment, he is still the junior who needs to listen to teachings.

  Away for half a lifetime, come back as a teenager.

  Liang Xuemei smiled and said, "Don't think I'm annoying."

  Zuo Yi quickly said: "No."

  Liang Xuemei said: "It's getting late, you can take Bao'er back, remember to come back when you are free."

  So Zuo Yi took Baoer and the sword manual Shang He left him, bid farewell to Liang Xuemei and Shang Yulin, and returned to the old house in Linjiang.

  When I got home, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.

  Zuo Yi asked Bao'er to take a bath and go to bed, and the little girl went to bed after a good wash, and fell into a deep sleep after her head touched the pillow.

  She was sleepy too.

  Zuo Yi lowered the brightness of the desk lamp for her as usual, and then quietly left her bedroom.

  jingle bell~

  As a result, as soon as he reached the door of the study, his cell phone rang suddenly.

  Zuo Yi quickly took out his mobile phone, afraid of waking up the little girl, so he directly connected without looking at the caller ID: "Hello?"

   "You, are you Zuo Yi?"

   A woman's voice came out of the phone receiver, with a hint of hesitation and hesitation.

  Zuo Yi heard a strange voice: "I am Zuo Yi, may I ask who you are?"

  The woman replied: "Zuo Yi, my name is Su Wanqing."

  Su Wanqing!

   Zuo Yi froze for a moment.

  The other party's voice is very strange, but her name is not unfamiliar at all!

Su Wanqing is exactly the "Aunt Qing" that Bao'er never forgets, the person who fostered Bao'er in the Angel Baby Nursing Center, and the one who wrote down his name and mobile phone number in the emergency contact column of the childcare contract people!

"It's you?"

  Zuo Yi never expected that Su Wanqing would take the initiative to call herself!

"it's me!"

  Su Wanqing's voice was a little more impatient: "I have contacted the childcare center and know that you have come back to pick up Bao'er, so please take good care of Bao'er!"

Without waiting for Zuo Yi to answer, she continued impatiently: "I know you must have a lot of questions, and you must want to know who Bao'er's biological mother is, but please believe me, it is far better for you not to know the truth than to know it, and Good for Bao'er."

"So don't go after Bao'er's mother's identity, maybe one day in the future, when the time is right, Bao'er's mother will come to you on her own initiative, and you don't want to find me. I am abroad now, and I have been missing for a long time. will not return home."

  Zuo Yi said: "Bao'er misses you very much."

  Su Wanqing was silent.

   Her rapid breathing came from the phone, and it took a while before she said, "I miss her very much too. She is a good child, smart and sensible. Although she is not my biological daughter, there is no difference."

   "Please take good care of her, goodbye!"

   After finishing speaking, Su Wanqing hung up the phone and didn't even have a minute to talk to Zuo Yi.

   Damn it!

  It was rare for Zuo Yi to swear, so he immediately found out the calling number and dialed back.

  As a result, a busy signal came from the handset, and the call continued: "Sorry, the call you dialed is temporarily unavailable!"

  Zuo Yi gave up calling again, because the other party most likely pulled out the phone card.

  The calling number was not the one she had left at the child care center.

  Zuo Yi didn't know what happened to Su Wanqing, and why he kept it a secret for Bao'er's mother. He didn't have the divination ability of a legendary wizard, so it might be difficult to find out the truth in a short time.

   According to the phone call, Su Wanqing is indeed abroad, and the number displayed on it is America.

  After thinking about it, Zuo Yi decided to put this matter aside temporarily.

   It’s just that Su Wanqing must have said two sentences wrong—whether he knows the truth or not, there will be no harm.

   It won't be bad for Bao'er!

  -------

  The second update is here. My old waist is really bad. It seems that I have to go to the hospital to have a look. Finally, I sincerely tell everyone to pay more attention to exercise. If you don’t exercise when you are young, you will cry when you are old!
