Chapter 87 Apprenticeship
However, my father is old now. Adventurers have many hidden diseases. People will not be able to bear the physical strain when they are a little older, let alone old age. Like my father now, although he is still radiant, he always looks tired behind his back.
The old father knows his daughter's character and talent, but he has no strength and no connections, and he can't find a way to teach his children.
Baimao naturally knows the situation. Although she doesn't say anything on the surface, she has long had the idea of hugging thighs in her heart.
After thinking about the pros and cons, she finally said that I didn't have much to lose anyway, so she was ready to sneak away to meet that person.
But her expression froze as soon as she went out. The room opposite her was her old father's room, and on the left and right were her second and third brothers' rooms. Among the three people's rooms, only her old father's room was larger, and it was only a little larger.
At this time, her old father had been standing at the door for some time, sitting at the door, just staring at Baimao.
Subconsciously, Baimao shuddered. The old father actually had a lot of restrictions on his daughter, but no matter how many restrictions there were, he was reluctant to beat her when she really made a mistake, which eventually formed her character.
But she couldn't be tough after making a mistake. She silently retracted the foot that stepped out of the door and prepared to go back to sleep.
There was no risk before, but now there is a risk, and now the benefits are not proportional to the risks, so she planned to give up.
Unfortunately, her reaction was slow after all. The slightly old figure stood up, smoking a dry pipe, and shouted to Baimao in the house: "Elena, don't hide, they all told me."
The figure was probably in his forties. At this time, he might be in his prime for others, but for a powerful adventurer like him, he was already at an age of declining physical fitness.
And what he told him was naturally needless to say.
The white-haired girl named Elina could only walk out of the house. She forced a smile again and asked him timidly, "Can I not go?"
He rubbed his eyebrows and felt a little tired.
The troubles caused by his daughter were getting bigger and bigger. Looking at her appearance, she became more beautiful as she grew up.
But it was this attitude of his daughter that made him feel uneasy.
Some time ago, a nobleman who passed by was attracted by her daughter's cute appearance and planned to buy her back to raise as a servant.
If that was all, it would be a good choice to find a noble family to be a maid.
But a little inquiry about the other party's information revealed that this nobleman was only a small nobleman, and a notorious one.
Just talking about the other party's internal private affairs, many bad rumors were spread. A declining small nobleman had so many troubles, and the old father certainly could not agree.
So the old father tactfully rejected the other party. The other party's original peaceful attitude disappeared instantly, and turned into a slightly ferocious expression. If there were not so many people and a sword hanging on the old father's waist, he would even have reason to believe that the other party would rush up.
The final result was naturally an unhappy parting. The other party had a gloomy face and smiled at the old father viciously: "I want to see how long you can protect your daughter."
This happened a month ago. With the other party's dandy temperament, to be honest, he was really a little scared.
No matter what, he was just a half-disabled disabled adventurer, how could he be compared with the other party?
This is the case for people with weak strength. Without background and backing, it is so difficult to survive in this world.
Thinking of this, he finished the last puff of welding cigarette and looked at his daughter's innocent smile.
Gradually, the girl's facial contour overlapped with the contour of the woman he saw at the beginning, which reminded him of the woman's appearance when he saw her at that time.
With dull eyes, wearing revealing clothes, and sunken cheeks, the years left suffering and vicissitudes on her face.
Suddenly, he woke up and looked at his own white-haired girl with clear eyes again.
Was she like her before, smiling so innocently, with a group of people she loved and a group of people who loved her.
The more he thought, the more afraid he was, but the more afraid he was, the more powerless he felt.
In the end, everything turned into a sigh. The bright moon was hanging high outside the house, and the bright moonlight was shining. The hazy moonlight shone on Elena, bringing a hazy moon veil to the girl.
The old father took a deep breath, and the fear of the unknown future prompted him to make this decision.
"Let's go, I'll go with you, I hope it's true, if it's true, you don't have to come back."
After saying this, he seemed to have aged several years in an instant, and his already hunched body became old again.
Elina was stunned. She looked at the old man in front of her who had been so kind to her in the past. The warm spring breeze blew and caressed the girl's cheek, but at this moment, her heart suddenly ached.
Tears kept rolling in her eyes. She was strong-willed and tried to hold back her tears. She asked with a choked voice, "You, don't want me anymore? Did I do something wrong? You can beat me and scold me, is it this? I will never go behind your back to bully the street hooligans again, and I will never ask them for money again."
The old father smiled, stretched out his only remaining left hand to touch the girl's forehead, his expression was peaceful, the sharpness of his youth had long been lost in the polishing, and now, he no longer has the sharpness of the past, only this peaceful mentality.
"Let's go, it's not your fault, didn't you say you always wanted to be a very powerful adventurer? Go and see, see this last hope."
At this point, he also felt helpless. It was undoubtedly ridiculous to pin hope on others, but he had no other way.
Roya stood silently behind them, the dark windbreaker blended his figure into the night, the bright moonlight could not illuminate his figure, and he listened to the other party's conversation silently.
Luo Ya's mouth curled up and revealed a smile. He thought he would have to work harder, but he didn't expect that the other party had such a past. Looking at the other party's back, Luo Ya's figure disappeared on the spot.
In the flickering lights, Alina walked forward alone. The slums were quiet at night. There were almost no pedestrians on the streets. Even if there were, they were just a few drunks wandering on the streets. When they saw Alina, their eyes subconsciously looked at her body.
This kind of explicit look made her feel cold, but the girl who was very courageous in the past became very timid at this time.
She quickened her pace a little. The drunks saw this scene and became more proud. Some people just wanted to get up, but found a cold gaze staring at them.
