Chapter 171 More than one choice
"I didn't know that you could be so cruel." Qingluo looked at Song Yu with a look she had never seen before.
Song Yu said lightly: "Where is my heartlessness? I am just making sure the guilty person gets what he deserves."
"But, didn't he fail?" Qingluo said as if defending the man.
Song Yu looked back at her and their eyes met.
"If it were you, how would you deal with it?" Song Yu asked.
Qingluo sneered: "Kill him with one sword."
Song Yu said: "Look, compared to others, I can't be considered ruthless."
Qingluo said, "Isn't it because you want to make an example of someone?"
Song Yu's eyes lit up, and Qingluo saw her thoughts clearly.
She sighed. If they all had the ability to protect themselves, there would be no need for such a thing.
"Doctor Song!" Suddenly a timid voice came from the side.
Song Yu turned sideways and looked down. It was a girl, Zhenniang's child.
"What's wrong?" Song Yu half-knelt down and asked.
The child bit his lower lip, clutching the corner of his clothes tightly with his hands, and his knuckles turned slightly white.
Her body was trembling slightly, and it was obvious that she was nervous and a little scared.
But the determination in his eyes cannot be ignored.
After a long while, the child finally spoke: "Doctor Song, can you, can you accept me?"
"Accept you?" Song Yu didn't quite understand what she meant.
The child said, "I, I want to follow you and learn from you. I think, I want to be able to protect my mother by myself in the future."
Song Yu was shocked. The little girl was a little skinny and small, but she had such courage.
"Kid!" Before Song Yu could say anything, Qingluo beside him suddenly spoke.
Song Yu and the child both looked at Qingluo.
Qingluo said: "I can teach you martial arts."
The child's eyes lit up instantly, and Song Yu was also a little surprised.
Qingluo continued, "Follow me, I will teach you martial arts, so that you can kill whoever you want in the future, and no one can bully you anymore."
"I, I don't want to kill anyone, I just want to protect my mother." The child spoke timidly.
Qingluo said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, but I have one condition."
"What?" the child asked.
Qingluo said: "If you leave your mother, you can only choose one of them."
The child was stunned, and Song Yu said, "Qingluo!"
Qingluo glanced at her and continued to say to the child, "Think carefully. If you follow her, she will only teach you medicine to save others. But I will teach you to save yourself, to make others fear you, respect you, and never dare to look down on you or bully you again."
The child looked stunned, not sure if he was shocked by Qingluo's words.
Song Yu pulled the child behind him, looked at Qingluo and said, "Her future doesn't just have these two options."
Qingluo was slightly stunned. When she came to her senses, she looked at Song Yu, not knowing what she was thinking.
She looked at the child behind her again, said nothing more, and turned away.
Song Yu looked at her back, wanting to say something, but ultimately remained silent.
She looked back at the child at her feet.
He raised his hand and patted her on the head, then asked, "What's your name?"
The child looked up and replied, "A Xiu."
Song Yu nodded and said, "A Xiu, you don't have to take what that sister said just now to heart. However, if you want to learn something from me, I don't have the ability to be a teacher, nor do I have the experience of being a teacher, and I don't want to mislead students.
If you want to study medicine, I can find a master for you. If you want to learn martial arts, I can also find someone to teach you.
However, you may not be able to do whatever you want as the sister just said, A Xiu. Martial arts are not omnipotent. You need to protect yourself and the people around you.
In addition to martial arts, this is also the key." Song Yu said, pointing to his head.
Ah Xiu was a little confused. Seeing this, Song Yu asked, "Can you read?"
Ah Xiu nodded: "Daddy taught me." When she said this, there was infinite sadness in her eyes.
Song Yu looked at her. There were not many children among these refugees, and most of them died on the road after the long journey.
"A Xiu, go back first. I'll come to see you in a few days." Song Yu said.
Ah Xiu looked up at Song Yu, and Song Yu said, "Don't worry, what happened last night won't happen again, at least not here."
Ah Xiu left, and Song Yu said, "Qingxi."
"Here." Qingxi replied.
Song Yu said: "Go to the City Lord's Mansion and tell the City Lord what happened yesterday and today. He will take care of the rest."
"Yes." Qingxi accepted the order.
When Qingling came to pick up Song Yu, Song Yu also told him what happened today.
After listening to this, Qing Ling asked, "Then how do you want to arrange it?"
Song Yu said, "I want to find someone to teach those children. Even if they don't learn martial arts, they should learn some means to protect themselves and some skills to live independently in the future.
Although I don’t know how long they will stay here, it’s always good to enlighten them.”
"Okay, I'll listen to Ayu." Qingling said.
Song Yu smiled at him. When they were almost there, Song Yu suddenly asked, "Has Shen Shuyuan left?"
Qing Ling nodded: "Let's go."
"What about Fu Zhenghong? Did he agree to your request?" Song Yu asked.
Qing Ling said: "I agree. Tomorrow, I will treat him together with Ye Shuangbai."
"Starting tomorrow, how long will it take?" Song Yu asked.
"Half a month." Qingling said.
Song Yu thought for a moment and was surprised: "Then, isn't that the day when Ye Xu convenes the martial arts conference?"
Qing Ling nodded: "Yes, the hero invitation has been sent out. Now the leaders of various factions have received it and are rushing to Wucheng from all over."
"I always feel like something is wrong." Song Yu frowned slightly.
"Where?" Qingling asked.
Song Yu shook his head: "I can't say."
"Then don't say it." Qingling said directly.
Song Yu glanced at him and said, "You're not in a hurry at all."
Qing Ling said: "As long as you are here, there is no rush."
When Song Yu heard this, he moved quietly and put some distance between himself and Qing Ling.
When Qing Ling saw this, an unhappy look flashed across his face.
Back at the mansion, Hong Yu stood at the door with an anxious look on his face. When he saw them get off the car, he hurried up and said anxiously, "Master, Miss, the Saint and Miss Ji are fighting."
"What?" Song Yu was shocked. "What's going on?"
Hongyu shook his head: "I don't know the specific situation, but the two of them fought quite fiercely."
"Where are you now?" Song Yu asked.
"In Weiluyuan." Hongyu said.
"Weiluyuan? Isn't this the courtyard where Jiang Tian is recuperating? Let's go there." Song Yu said as he was about to follow Hongyu.
He took a step and stopped, turned around, grabbed Qingling's hand, and said, "You go too. If they start fighting, I can't stop them."
Since she couldn't stop it, she naturally had to find someone who could stop it.
Soon, they arrived at the scene of the incident.
Song Yu looked at the mess in the yard and the two people fighting fiercely in the yard.
Swords and knives were clashing, and nothing around was spared.
