Bureau of Special Cases Investigation

Chapter 148 [Longevity Chapter 8]

The mountain road is winding, the road is muddy, there are bursts of moist mountain wind, and wisps of light clouds and mist.It was drizzling, and Ying Zichi was wearing a bamboo hat and holding a lifeless black panther in his arms, walking on the path in the mountains.

Relying on his childhood memories, he looked around for the location where he first met Xing.He was walking in front, and Gao Yan followed him leisurely with an oil-paper umbrella.

Along the way, the two were silent one after another.Gao Yan couldn't understand why Ying Zichi felt sad for a man-eating beast, in his opinion, death deserves more than justification.

"Gao Immortal." Ying Zichi stopped, turned around and looked at Gao Swear.

Gao Yan walked to his side, looked down at the black panther in his arms, and said coldly:

"What's the matter?"

"This is the place where Xiao He and I met for the first time. At that time, he had a lot of silver threads wrapped around his body, and he was dying in a pool of blood. I was young at that time and didn't understand anything. But I knew that he was dying I didn't want him to die, so I untied the silver thread wrapped around him and saved him." Ying Zichi said.

There are countless ways in the world, and good fortune tricks people.

Once, he trapped and killed a ferocious beast here. That ferocious beast was bound to die, but it was born by the fortune of heaven and earth, and was rescued by Ying Zichi.Ying Zichi rescued the beast, and the beast came to repay his favor.There was supposed to be a happy ending, but fate turned around, the beast was controlled by the monster, in order not to hurt its benefactor, the beast finally chose to cut off its own life.

"Aren't you afraid that he will eat you?" Gao vowed.

"I was only a few years old at that time, and I didn't understand what danger was."

Ying Zichi hugged the panther and knelt on the grass. He put the panther at his feet, then pulled out the dagger from his waist, and plunged it into the soil.He used all his strength to start digging the soil, using his fingers over and over again to scrape away the soil on both sides of the dagger.

After a while, a shallow pit appeared in front of him.He put the panther into the shallow pit, and then filled the shallow pit with his own hands.Gao Yan stood beside him silently, he didn't intend to step forward to help, but saw the young man's white clothes stained with mud, he couldn't help frowning.

"I'm sorry." Ying Zichi whispered.

"Your clothes are dirty." Gao swore.

"Well, the clothes are dirty, and so is the heart." Ying Zichi stood up unsteadily, put on his bamboo hat, and said coldly.

The drizzle hit his face, and he couldn't tell whether it was tears or rain.

In the early years, Taigong Wei paid money to find craftsmen to build a summer resort in Xishan.Due to the softness of the land in Xishan, the villa was not built, and only a simple wooden house was built in the end.Over time, Taigong Wei forgot about this wooden house.

The world is unpredictable, and no one expected that this forgotten wooden house has now become the habitat of the female family members of the Wei family.

.................................................. .......................

The weather in the mountains is changeable. It was raining just now, but now the sun is shining.

There was little smoke from the kitchen, and one woman was drying her clothes, while the other women were squatting on the ground to light a fire and cook.Ying Zichi looked at the woman who was drying the clothes in despair, then ran over regardless, and said loudly:

"mother!"

"Chi'er!"

The woman was stunned for a moment, and the tears flowed down uncontrollably.Her son is alive, her son is back!

"The son is back!"

"Son!"

Ying Zichi ran in front of the woman and knelt down in front of all the women.Madam Wei was taken aback by his actions, she quickly helped him up and said:

"Chi'er, what are you doing?"

"Mother, Zi Chi is sorry for you and the Wei family. Grandpa is dead, all of this is Zi Chi's fault!" Ying Zichi said tearfully.

Mrs. Wei is a strong woman. She patted Ying Zichi on the back and comforted her:

"It's not your fault, it's just the world that can't tolerate the Wei family."

Ying Zichi stood up straight, and Madam Wei noticed that Ying Zichi's body was dirty and muddy.

At this moment, a man in white with long hair walked up to Ying Zichi, and nodded politely to Mrs. Wei.

"Who is this?" Mrs. Wei asked vigilantly.

It was only then that Ying Zichi remembered that Gao Yan was still by his side.He just wanted to open his mouth, but he opened his mouth for a long time, but he couldn't say a word.He didn't know how to introduce Gao Yan, but he couldn't say that this was the Immortal Gao that the king was looking for so hard.

"Gao oath, Zichi's old friend." Gao oath said flatly.

"So it's Chi'er's old friend. Come in and have a cup of hot tea." Madam Wei smiled.

"Thank you." Gao swore coldly.

Mrs. Wei is so smart, from the first time he saw Zi Chi, he guessed that Zi Chi was guided by Xiao He.Xiao He has been away for more than ten days, but there has been no news. She is a woman and cannot contact General Wang, so she has to stay in Xishan and wait for Xiao He's news.

"Chi'er, where did Xiao He go?" Mrs. Wei asked.

Ying Zichi showed bitterness, choked up and said:

"died."

"Buried?" Mrs. Wei's eyes widened, pretending to be calm.

"Hmm." Ying Zichi said.

"Are you hungry? Go change your clothes, mother will cook you rice porridge." Madam Wei said.

Ying Zichi hummed in a daze, then walked towards the back room without looking back.Not long after Ying Zichi left, Mrs. Wei walked up to Gao Yan, saluted Gao Yao respectfully:

"Thank you for saving Chi'er."

She knew Zichi's temperament too well, if the man in front of him hadn't saved him, Ying Zichi would never have come back from Yushan alive.After many years in the palace, what Mrs. Wei is best at is observing words and expressions.She could see that the man in front of him cared a lot about his son.

"He shouldn't die." Gao swore replied.

"But too many people want Chi'er's life, can you protect him?" Madam Wei asked.

"Yes." Gao vowed.

Gao Yan glanced at this plainly dressed woman, and suddenly found a trace of blackness between her brows, which is the blackness that only appears when people are about to die.He saw that Mrs. Wei's face was the fate of the rich and powerful, and her fate had not yet come, so how could she appear dead?He looked around and found that the brows of the surrounding female relatives had a trace of lifelessness.

Could it be that he changed his fate for Ying Zichi's sake and turned his back on Ying Zichi's family?

The door of the back room was slowly pushed open, and Ying Zichi came out wearing sackcloth.Since the house is occupied by women, it is impossible to have men's clothing.Ying Zichi had no choice but to put on women's clothes again.

"Mother." Ying Zichi said.

"Haha, I don't know which girl hasn't left the court. Zichi, mother has an appointment with Orion from a nearby village in the afternoon. When he comes to get the medicinal materials, mother will ask him to bring you a piece of clothing." Mrs. Wei said.

Ying Zichi hummed, but he didn't know that after Xiao He left, in order to make a living, his mother and the female family members of Wei's family dug medicinal materials on the mountain to exchange ingredients with Orion.

After lunch, Gao vowed to go out on business, while Ying Zichi stayed at home and talked with Mrs. Wei.Mrs. Wei wanted to ask her son too many things. She asked where Ying Zichi had been these past few months, and whether Mr. Gao had saved him.

Ying Zichi nodded and said:

"If it weren't for Immortal Gao, Zi Chi would never have come back alive to see his mother."

"Is he... the god that the king is looking for?" Mrs. Wei asked in surprise.

"Yes." Ying Zichi said.

"Are you still planning to go back to Xianyang?" Mrs. Wei asked.

Ying Zichi shook his head and said:

"Your Majesty is so ruthless, what use is it for me to go back to Xianyang? Mother, after a while, Zi Chi plans to go find Wang Yi."

"What did you ask him for! Finally came back alive, mother won't allow you to die!" Mrs. Wei said loudly.

"Mother, with Immortal Gao here, Zichi will be fine. Didn't Your Majesty just want to be an immortal? Zichi worked so hard and finally brought Immortal Gao back. And how did he treat Zichi's family? How did it deal with Zichi again!

Do you know?How many times has Zichi been assassinated along the way?From the very beginning, the king wanted to destroy the Wei family and the Wang family! " Ying Zichi said hoarsely.

"Mother just begs that you can live a stable life." Mrs. Wei smiled wryly.

"Zi Chi also wants to live a comfortable life, but what about the reality? Mother, you have been with Dad for so many years, and he handed you over to the King so heartlessly. Don't you hate it?" Ying Zichi said.

"What's the use of hating? Didn't he marry his mother just because of the salary of a high-ranking official?" Mrs. Wei said.

Ying Zichi looked gloomy and remained silent for a long time.Madam Wei sighed helplessly, got up and went outside.

When the time agreed with Orion arrived, Mrs. Wei took two big bags of wild ginseng from the warehouse with two female relatives.They waited outside the wooden house for Orion's arrival, but after waiting for several hours, Orion still didn't come.Madam Wei's expression was gloomy, and there was a vague premonition in her heart.

.................................................. .......................

In the evening, Gao Yan walked into the wooden house with a bamboo basket on his back.At this time, the female relatives in the house were eating in front of the kang, and when they saw Gao Yan, their eyes showed surprise.

Madam Wei coughed and said with a smile:

"Gao Gongzi, if you don't mind, would you like to enjoy feeding with us?"

Gao swore nodded, knelt down beside Ying Zichi, and took down the bamboo basket.

He handed the bamboo basket to Ying Zichi and said:

"Try to see the size."

Ying Zichi stared blankly at Gao Yan, he didn't expect that Gao Yan went out to buy clothes for him.He took out his clothes, only to find that there was a layer of oil paper wrapped under the bamboo basket, and the oil paper was full of yellow rice and some fruits and vegetables.

"Thank you!" Ying Zichi said.

He handed the bamboo basket to Mrs. Wei, and Mrs. Wei looked at the yellow rice in the bamboo basket and said ecstatically:

"Master Gao, I really don't know how to thank you!"

Gao Yan's expression was stern, showing no signs of happiness or anger.He just nodded lightly as a response.

After dinner, Ying Zichi changed into men's clothes.The fabric is exquisite and the tailoring is decent. It is top grade at first glance.He took a wooden hairpin and tied up his hair.

He came outside the house, walked directly to Gao Yan's side and said:

"Gao Xianren, are you admiring the moon?"

"Yeah." Gao Yan replied lightly.

"Have we met before? I always think Gao Xianren looks very familiar." Ying Zichi smiled.

Gao Yan's body froze for a moment, he didn't dare to look into Zi Chi's eyes, turned around and walked towards the wooden house.Ying Zichi knew that Gao Xianren was cold-tempered and didn't want to get in touch with others.He was not angry, and said loudly:

"Gao Xianren, thank you."

Gao Yan turned his head and glanced at him, this glance was mixed with too many emotions.There is joy, anger, and pity.The two looked at each other, and Ying Zichi couldn't help but said:

"Gao Xianren, you have saved me so many times, how should I repay your life-saving grace?"

"Live well." After Gao Yan finished speaking, he walked into the house without looking back.

In the evening, Mrs. Wei tidied up Xiao He's room, and she asked Ying Zichi and Gao Yan to spend the night in this room first.There was only one bed, and Ying Zichi wanted Gao Xianren to sleep on the bed, so he slept on the floor on the floor.Unexpectedly, Gao Xianren grabbed his wrist and said:

"Your body bones haven't recovered yet, let's sleep together."

They are all men, and Ying Zichi has nothing to mind.He spread the quilt on the bed, then untied his coat and lay down on the inside of the bed.The past few days had dealt him a great blow, and he fell asleep after lying on the bed for a long time.

Gao Yan blew out the candle, and he walked slowly to the bed, looking at Ying Zichi's sleeping face, he couldn't calm down for a long time.After a long time, he took off his coat and lay down next to Ying Zichi.

That night, Gao vowed to stay up all night.
