Chapter 112: Family ties are as thin as paper
Everyone had no choice but to wait patiently with Dongfang Ying. After about a cup of tea, shopkeeper Zhou came out to see Dongfang Ying and said that it was the old lady who wanted to thank her. Escort your granddaughter home and specially invite her to meet her in the inner room.
Nangong Huiyue was a little worried when she saw that she was going to the meeting alone again, so she expressed that she wanted to go in together.
Dongfang Ying felt that everyone was in danger. This was in the county town, and she was going to see old women and children. What was there to worry about? Smiling, Nangong Huiyue and others were asked to wait outside. She just took a look at the little girl and came out soon.
Nangong Huiyue also felt that she was a little too sensitive, so she told Dongfang Ying not to stay too long and to go back quickly.
After entering the backyard, there was a small garden. Shopkeeper Zhou led Dongfang Ying to a small room in the right wing. Before she could cross the threshold, she heard a childish call:
"Big sister, big sister..."
Dongfang Ying heard the voice of Ouyang Shuangna and hurriedly walked into the house. She saw three people sitting in the house, with a five-year-old girl in the middle. The woman, who is about ten years old, has a graceful appearance. Next to her sits the little girl Ouyang Shuangna, and beside her is a man in a green robe.
As soon as Xiao Shuangna saw Dongfang Ying, she was about to run over, but the woman grabbed her arm and could only call out "big sister" in a low voice.
The woman stood up and looked at Dongfang Ying, and said calmly:
"Is this the Dongfang girl who escorted my granddaughter home? I thank you. Please sit down while shopkeeper Zhou serves tea."
Shopkeeper Zhou quickly agreed and went to make tea.
Dongfang Ying didn’t expect that Xiao Shuangna’s grandmother was so young. She looked at the little girl and smiled tenderly at her, then faced the woman and said:
“You’re welcome, madam. It is our duty to help those in need, not to mention that Xiao Shuangna is so smart and lovable. When I see her, I feel like I see my own sister."
Mrs. Ouyang raised her hand to the seat on the right. One finger:
"Miss Dongfang, please take a seat. We hit it off immediately and chatted while drinking tea."
Dongfang Ying sat down happily, and the old lady also took Xiao Shuangna to sit down. Next, shopkeeper Zhou served fragrant tea. The old lady asked him to step aside, then served the tea and said: "Miss Oriental, this is the newly roasted Lapsang Souchong Wuyi black tea in Jinchun. Try it to see if it suits your taste. . ”
Dongfang Ying is not particular about the way to drink tea, as long as it can quench her thirst. When she picked up the tea cup, she saw that the tea soup was clear and yellow, and the smell of it was fragrant and heart-opening.
He immediately took a big sip and it smelled like longan fruit, sweet and refreshing. He praised:
"Well, it is indeed delicious, fragrant and sweet. I want to buy what you sell." Tea leaves are not ordinary."
The old lady took a sip and put down the tea cup and said:
"Girls also know us.The Ouyang family deals in treasures, has a prosperous business, and rich wealth. It is considered one of the top merchants in the county.
"My eldest son went to sea this time to Nanyang, and he encountered Japanese pirates. It really made me sad and confused. I wonder if the girl knows the inside story? Please tell the truth."
Dongfang Ying put the empty tea cup back on the coffee table. She was stunned when she heard the words and frowned:
"What do you mean by this, old lady? This junior didn't understand."
Old lady His face turned cold and he said:
"My son has always been cautious and chose auspicious days for his trip. How could he run into Japanese pirates so easily? I'm afraid he was born under a plot by a traitor. Unexpected.
"Why did the girl meet my granddaughter who narrowly escaped death? How could someone who was neither a relative nor an acquaintance come to the rescue and send him back to his home?
"I have so many doubts in my mind, I hope the girl can explain something."
Dongfang Ying's pretty face changed color, and her tone suddenly became cold:
" What the old lady means is that she suspects that I have ulterior motives and has some ulterior motives for your family?"
After hearing the conversation between her grandmother and Dongfang Ying, Xiao Shuangna couldn't help shouting:
p>"Grandma, you can't doubt Sister Dongfang. The eldest sister saved me halfway, and she also sincerely helped me before sending me back..."
The old lady scolded:
p>"What do you know, you yellow-haired girl? You are helping count the money after being sold. Don't interrupt."
She stared at Dongfang Ying and said:
"I heard My granddaughter said that she brought back a high-quality container. She went through a lot of trouble for that box of precious goods. Why didn’t she see the girl return it?”
Dongfang Ying’s heart trembled, and she secretly went through a lot of trouble. Oops, the box of goods that Ouyang Shuangna fought so hard to protect was placed on the carriage where she packed the gifts. They were all given to the Red Flag Society and she forgot to move them down.
He stood up quickly, clasped his fists and said:
"I'm sorry, old lady, and Xiao Shuangna, I... I gave that box of things to someone else by mistake...
"But don't worry, I will definitely find it and return it to you. "
At this time, the man in green robe next to him finally said:
"Who are you trying to fool, Oriental girl? I don't think a three-year-old child would believe that something so important was given to someone else by mistake!
"And your appetite is not just for a box of goods. Send this little girl back so that she can inherit the Ouyang family's property, control this ignorant little girl, and seek for the Ouyang family's wealth." Assets, this is your ultimate goal, right?”
Ouyang Shuangna jumped to her feet and shouted:
“Second uncle, you are simply slandering Sister Dongfang... …”
“Pah!”
The old lady slapped her granddaughter.Slapping him, he shouted angrily:
"You are a bastard! Why are you talking to your second uncle?"

Dongfang Ying was so angry that her chest heaved and she almost burst her clothes. Fortunately, the black silkworm treasured clothes were extremely tough and could stretch freely. No matter how much her breasts expanded, they could not be opened!
When she heard Ouyang Shuangna call the man "Second Uncle", she knew that this man was the old lady's youngest son, and then she suddenly understood a lot of doubts:
Why is this The old lady knew that her eldest son, his wife, and even her eldest grandson were unfortunately killed, but she didn't feel much grief. Instead, she still had time to question her own motives, and was even hostile to herself?
I am afraid that this old woman is partial and dotes on her younger son. She has long wanted to pass on the family property to her younger son. Although the eldest son is unlucky this time, it happens to be a good opportunity for her younger son. Solely in charge of power;
But once Xiao Shuangna returns home, she will be the legitimate heir to the Ouyang family, and her second uncle can only watch helplessly.
No wonder Xiao Shuangna was reluctant to come to this store before. In fact, the little guy is very smart and knows that most of the time his grandmother and uncle will be here and will not look good when they meet.
When Dongfang Ying thought of this, she became very angry. There are still mothers and brothers like this in the world, who don’t care about the lives of their relatives, but only care about fighting for the family property?
Immediately he slapped the coffee table with his palm, and with a "click" the coffee table broke into two pieces. The teacup and fruit plate were scattered on the floor. He sneered and said:
"To tell you the truth, although I am The rivers and lakes are rough, but even if they are gold and silver, I don’t care about them!
“Just an hour ago, I gave two cars worth thousands of gold to a stranger.
"Whether your Ouyang family is extremely wealthy or as rich as the enemy, I, Dongfang Ying, have no interest at all.
"But Xiao Shuangna, I hold my heart dear to my heart. Damn it, if you dare to bully her even a little bit, this coffee table is your role model!
"I, Dongfang Ying, with a white horse and a red scarf, keep my word. If you don't believe me, just give it a try!"
After saying that, he drew out the sword from his back and picked up a sword beside the old lady. The copper incense burner moved the sword like the wind,
"Chi chi chi" "ding ding ding"
After a close crisp sound, the incense burner was neatly cut into pieces. The eight petals fell on the incense table like a lotus, and the incense ashes scattered one after another.
When the old lady and her young son saw Dongfang Ying's tactics, they were so frightened that they immediately hugged each other and did not dare to say anything.
Xiao Shuangna looked at the heroine with admiration, and there were little stars in her big and smart eyes.
Dongfang Ying sheathed her sword, stepped forward and touched the little girl’s hair, and said softly:
“Little sister, big sister still has something to do.I have to go, but I will definitely come back to see you.
"Don't worry, the big sister will find the box of things you risked your life to protect and return it to you; in addition, I will send someone to protect you and prevent you from any harm.
p>
“Sister, I’m leaving first, you should take care of yourself too! "
Without even looking at the mother and son, she turned around and was about to walk out of the room, but heard Ouyang Shuangna shouting from behind:
"Sister, please accept me as your sister. Disciple, I also want to learn martial arts like yours to protect myself and help others! "
Dongfang Ying was stunned for a moment. She had just started her apprenticeship and entered the world less than a month ago. How could she have the idea of accepting a disciple and becoming someone else's master?
Although the master He didn’t prohibit himself from teaching martial arts to others, but he never agreed to officially accept a disciple. I’m afraid he couldn’t decide on his own.
He turned around and said with a smile:
“Eldest sister only knows this. Fighting and killing people are never taught! When we meet next time, maybe I will know how to be a master. Let’s talk about it then, okay? "
Seeing the disappointed look in the little girl's eyes, she couldn't help but sigh slightly:
"Let's do this. Big sister will give you a protective weapon first, and a book. You can also ponder the brochures on practicing internal strength by yourself first and lay a solid foundation.
"If you really have talent in this area, can I accept you as my apprentice again?"
Ouyang Shuangna suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to her, kowtowed three times and then Said:
"Thank you, eldest sister, I will recognize you as my master. I will obey the master's arrangements in everything."
Dongfang Ying suddenly realized the little girl's intention. She was afraid that she would be left alone and helpless, so she insisted on finding a master like herself as a backer.
If the old lady and her second uncle were afraid of her intimidation, they would not dare to do anything to her. This little girl is only eight years old. It's really joyful and heartbreaking to be so sensible at such a young age.
Dongfang Ying lovingly helped Xiao Shuangna up, pulled out the Xingyue sword from its sheath, handed it to her, and said:
"Although this sword is small, But it is as sharp as clay, and it is no problem to deal with cats and dogs.
"You put it on your body to defend yourself, and you will never leave. "
Xiao Shuangna held the sword tightly in her little hand and said hello repeatedly.
Dongfang Ying hugged the little guy and left the side room, walked out of the store, and walked to Nangong Huiyue's carriage. He took out a thin booklet from his belt and hid it in the little girl's arms:
"Little sister, I think with your intelligence, you should be able to understand the text inside. If you are interested, If so, just practice according to the method above.
"These are all internal skills for beginners of our sect. They are not difficult to understand or practice."
Xiao Shuangna's eyes were red and she hugged her tightly. , said sadly:
"Big sister, Master, I will listen to your words and practice seriously... You should also come and see me early..."
Dongfang Ying suppressed her sadness and agreed repeatedly.
Nangong Huiyue, Mingchuan Rongmei and others were surprised when they saw this, especially when Xiao Shuangna called Dongfang Ying "master".
Dongfang Ying put Xiao Shuangna inside the store door, said with tears, "Big sister is gone," then turned over and jumped onto the white horse, waving the rein and running towards the east city gate.
Ouyang Shuangna behind him couldn't bear it anymore and cried "Wow wow".
