Excellent little farmer

Based on this speculation, there are only two possibilities. One is that the relationship between him and his mother is not good, and they were very tense when they broke up. He has already had the idea of ​​never having contact with each other, and he was angered by it; or, that The man himself is a ruthless person. In his heart, he only has fame and fortune but no family affection. This is the most likely possibility.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shake my head with a wry smile, and squeezed my forehead hard with my fingers, trying to squeeze these messy thoughts out of my head.

When I was worried, there was a knock on the door suddenly. My heart beat violently a few times. I had a strong premonition that what was supposed to come seemed to have already come...

I dropped the lighter in my hand, tiptoed out of bed, walked slowly to the door, touched the cold doorknob in my hand, hesitated for a long time, closed my eyes, took a deep breath, then slowly opened my eyes, and gently Letting out a breath, I finally made up my mind at this moment. Many things cannot be escaped after all, and I must have the courage to face them.

Slowly opening the door, an extraordinary old man appeared in front of me. The old man was wearing a suit with a snow-white shirt underneath. He had a ruddy complexion and a gentle smile on his face. I glanced at his right hand, where He was holding two chess pieces, one with a red prime minister and the other with a red general. The two chess pieces, the general and the prime minister, kept rubbing and turning in his palms, and there was a sound of "Kaka!" 'The sound.

The smile on the old man's face is very friendly, and the look in his eyes also makes me feel a kind of warmth, which is a feeling I haven't seen for a long time.

"Old sir, what's the matter with you?" I tried to keep my tone as calm as possible, with a faint smile on my face.

The old man spread his right hand, revealing the two chess pieces, and said with a smile: "Young man, I live in the room next door. I am bored staying alone in the room. Can you come over and play a few games of chess with me?" "

"A lame excuse."

I muttered to myself, but the kindness exuded by the old man made it difficult for me to refuse his invitation. What's more, just by being direct, I could almost conclude that this old man and the man from Beijing had an unusual relationship. relation.

"Ok."

I lowered my voice very softly, but it fell very clearly into the old man's ears. A satisfied smile appeared on his face, and he stretched out his hand to make a 'please' gesture. I smiled and nodded, gently. He closed the door, but didn't move in a hurry, just looked at the old man with a smile.

The old man smiled knowingly and led the way. The pace of the two of them was equally steady and strong. I noticed carefully that the old man's posture when walking was quite distinctive. There was a kind of elegance in the fortitude, and the swing of his calves was also very relaxed. The most important thing is that the route he walked was as straight as if measured with a ruler, as if he had undergone special etiquette training.

Just like this, I followed the old man and walked straight into the next room. I sat on the sofa with a confident but humble smile. I am very careful about my behavior now and must not let those in the capital look down upon me.

The old man first handed me a bottle of iced black tea very enthusiastically, and then sat down opposite me naturally, observing my performance without any trace, from my expression and demeanor to my eyes, to the tips of my fingers and shoes, even the smallest detail. I refused to let go of any tiny movement, but that kind of observation was not offensive. I faced his scrutiny calmly, feeling relaxed and calm inside, without feeling the slightest pressure.

Seemingly appreciating my neither humble nor arrogant attitude, the smile on the old man's face became thicker and he raised his hand and said, "Please drink tea."

"Thank you!"

I smiled and nodded, opened the iced black tea in my hand, took a sip, then capped the bottle and placed it on the coffee table. Then I looked around and said softly to the old man with a half-smile: "Mr. Where did it come from?”

The old man smiled slightly, put his hands on his knees, patted them gently a few times, stared into my eyes, and said slowly: "Beijing!"

Seeing the profound meaning in his eyes, I knew that my guess was correct, but I didn't know the identity of this person, so I pinched my chin and said tentatively: "May I ask what you call the old gentleman?"

The old man smiled, and gently fiddled with the chessboard on the coffee table. His soft eyes moved down from my face, staring at his hands, and said softly: "You can call me Uncle Cai, they all call me that." .”

My heart was shocked, and I already understood a little bit, but I deliberately frowned, made a confused look on my face, and asked knowingly: "Uncle Cai, who are they?"

Uncle Cai withdrew his gaze, patted his knees gently with his hand, and said in a soothing tone: "You should know, they are all your brothers and sisters."

Although I was mentally prepared, I still felt a thunder ringing in my ears, which shocked me and made my scalp numb. However, I quickly adjusted and calmly removed my hand from my chin and gently brushed it on my knees. After a few moments of thinking, he lowered his head and said, "Uncle Cai, you must have recognized the wrong person!"

Uncle Cai seemed to have known that I would answer this way. He sighed softly and muttered: "It's normal for you to have resentment in your heart. The entanglements in this can't be explained clearly in a few words, but no matter what, Likewise, blood is thicker than water, this is an unchangeable fact.”

I stretched out my hand to rub the tip of my sore nose, stared at my leather shoes, and asked softly: "Uncle Cai, may I ask you a question, what is their last name?"

An imperceptible smile appeared on Uncle Cai's face, and he said softly: "Guess!"

Uncle Cai's answer was a bit unexpected. I was slightly taken aback. I couldn't help but look up at him and said with doubt on my face: "Can you guess this?"

Uncle Cai did not answer hastily, but stood up, took the cup to the drinking cup, took the cup of water, took a small sip, moistened his throat, then turned his head and said calmly: " You are very smart, I believe you can guess it."

"Your surname is also Ye?" I frowned and narrowed my eyes.

Uncle Cai shook his head, quickly rejected the answer, and said softly: "Guess again!"

I seemed to suddenly realize it. I touched my chin and nodded repeatedly: "Yeah! Tian is a good surname. Tian Boguang knows women by smell. This surname is good."

Uncle Cai couldn't help laughing, chuckled twice, walked back with the teacup in hand, sat down again, sighed, and said softly: "Wrong again, your surname is Wang. When you were just born, you liked to play in the water. You are particularly lovable. The chief was very happy. He held you in his arms and said to your father, "This is the treasure of our old Wang family. Your father took you to play in Quancheng City. He saw that you had been playing in the water and refused to come up. That's why I gave you the name Qingquan."

After hearing this, I was stunned for a moment, then smiled and scraped my nose a few times with my fingers. The smile turned a little sad, with clear tears in my eyes. I shook my head and walked into the bathroom, washed my face and said loudly: "Haha. ! Lao Wang’s baby, haha! This sounds really funny.”

Uncle Cai's expression also showed a little sadness, and he said sadly: "Everything in the world is unpredictable. No one thought that things would turn out like this in the end."

"What caused it?" I asked softly, standing in the bathroom.

Uncle Cai frowned and thought for a long time, then rubbed his hands and said softly: "That's a family matter of your Wang family. I can't talk about many things, but the eldest lady's family is very powerful, and her mother and the old lady have had a relationship for most of their lives. Friendship, this also involves issues of marriage and heir succession, ahem! Master Quan, can you understand what I am saying?"

I wiped my face with a white towel, looked in the mirror, and found that the circles under my eyes were still a little red, so I closed my eyes and rubbed them with my hands for a long time. When I opened my eyes again, I felt better, calmed down my complicated mood, and took a deep breath. He took a deep breath, slapped his cheeks hard several times, stood in front of the mirror for another two or three minutes, adjusted his facial expressions, and then walked out refreshed, waved his hands, and said: "I know, the past is over. Forget it, play chess, play chess.”

Uncle Cai looked at me in surprise. Seeing that I could adjust to my state so quickly, he couldn't help but be surprised. There was admiration in his eyes, and he said in a low voice: "Master Quan, don't you want to know about your grandfather and father?" Who is it?"

I smiled, picked up the green chess pieces, placed them on the chessboard, shook my head and said, "Uncle Cai, didn't you tell me already?"

Uncle Cai smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to put the red chess piece in position, first flew up, then glanced at me quickly, and said softly: "How about, come back with me and have a look?"

I sighed, moved the chess piece, shook my head slightly and said, "There's no need, just know who it is. Mom won't allow me to enter Beijing."

Uncle Cai lifted the horse up a step, shook his head and said, "The fact that I can come here means that the agreement made back then has become invalid. Master Quan doesn't need to take it to heart."

"Promise?"

I couldn't help but frown, staring at Uncle Cai's rosy face, and asked doubtfully: "What agreement?"

Uncle Cai stared at the chessboard and said slowly: "Back then, your father couldn't let you go. He always sent someone to secretly take pictures of you and take them back. As a result, your mother was alarmed. After moving several times, she became furious. , I went to the capital again and reached an agreement with the old lady of the Wang family. You, mother and son, will not be within 500 miles of the capital, and the Wang family will not be allowed to enter Qingzhou City, let alone interfere with your lives in any way."
