Relief

Back home, Xie Zhixu didn't speak until dinner, Yu Guanchong came over once on the way, it seemed that he wanted to say something to Xie Zhixu, but in the end he couldn't, so he had to call Wuli out.

After dinner, Xie Zhixu went to the courtyard where Yuguan Chong raised a tank of koi by himself. The room was narrow, and there was no one in the corridors on both sides. It was a secluded place, suitable for being alone in a daze.

The carp has become a spirit, and when someone's footsteps sound, they rush to the surface of the water, spitting bubbles one after another.

Xie Zhixu lay on the edge of the vat and looked at it for a while, then poked each one with his fingers.

Wet and wet with one hand.

After living in Qiongshan with his husband, his personality has indeed changed a lot, and he also knows that he has no family to support him, so his behavior has become much more restrained.In order to prevent him from going back to avenge his death, Mr. Bin tied him up and trapped him for several days, and made him understand that Young Master Xie is nothing now, and he has no strength around him.

After that, he no longer had the ostentatious appearance when he was young, but instead had the gentleness of a scholar that his father had always hoped for.

A pair of fat gold and silver scales swallowed Xie Zhixu's finger as if it was something to eat that was always poking around on the water.

Ouch.Xie Zhixu was stunned.

Wheels rolled towards him from the verandah.

Xie Zhixu looked like a boy whose childish behavior had been spotted by others, he withdrew his hand instantly, wiped his clothes again, and said, "Second Senior Brother, why are you here?"

Feng Zhi often ignored him and looked into the tank.

"Hey," Xie Zhixu smiled awkwardly, "This silly fish monster is so funny..."

Silly Yu spit out a series of bubbles to protest Xie Zhixu.

It is known that Chang glanced at him from the corner of his eye, and there was a bit of hesitation in his slender eyes.

Xie Zhixu calmed down.

——Have you met Big Brother?

Ever since Xie Zhixu forced him to say a few words that night at the Grand View Tower, Feng Zhichang hadn't spoken again, and Wu Li and Xie Zhixu had tacitly not mentioned this matter.

The elder brother of Qiongshan, named Kong Shaoshu, was born as a farmer. Because he broke a pair of arms and the family did not support idlers, he was living outside at the age of 17 and was taken back to the villa by his husband.

'I haven't seen it. Didn't you say that you left the villa a few years ago to go out and travel? '

Feng Zhichang nodded, was silent for a moment, and told him:

——Brother’s hometown, all the land is taken up by a wealthy local landlord, and the tenants have to pay three taxes every year, one for the poll tax levied by the court, one for the landlord to pay the land tax, and one for the landlord’s family to eat wear.There is nothing left in my house, there are always only a few grains of rice in the pot, and two of the three children have to starve to death in the middle of giving birth.

This is almost the norm that can be seen everywhere in the countryside, and this is the first time Xie Zhixu has heard Feng Zhichang tell these things.He lived a prosperous life since he was a child, and was later raised by a husband. Although he knew a thing or two, he didn't have many specific concepts.Unexpectedly, the elder brother who ate and lived in the same place as him would have such an experience.

——The tenants were bullied and oppressed, and they dared not speak out. One day, a chivalrous green forest knight came.

Feng Zhi often leaned on the back of the chair, his eyes reflected the blue sky that was particularly clear due to the fading of the brilliance, and told the story.

——That is a heroic chivalrous woman who self-registered as Qiu Jiangyue.

Landlords know that they are wicked, so they will hire bullies and thugs as bodyguards, but Qiuxia Nvyi is so bold, she broke into the manor alone and grabbed the landlord's fat ear and dragged him to the tenants. On the invisible neck, he was forced to sign a tax-free contract.

Kong Shaoshu is the second child in his family, twelve or thirteen years old is the age of growth.Helpless, the emperor loves the eldest son and the common people love the youngest son. The second child is the most easily overlooked position. If Qiu Jiangyue came one year later, he might starve to death by the side of the field. Even the wild dogs passing by would not bother to gnaw his bony body .

Kong Shaoshu is a kind person, and he always remembers Qiu Jiangyue's kindness in his heart. When everyone in Qiongshan chatted with each other about their life experiences, he was willing to find out and reminisce about it.It is known that Chang was only nine years old when he entered the school, and he was almost brought up by Kong Shaoshu. He could recite this story backwards and forwards.

However, he never told Kong Shaoshu that the Autumn Lady Xia was the chief culprit who caused him to become disabled and displaced.

A person can be another person's enemy and another person's benefactor.

Xie Zhixu quietly listened to Feng Zhichang's story of the elder brother. After he arrived at the villa, the elder brother had been gone for many years, leaving few traces. Mention Guo Shaoshu.

I didn't expect that there would be such entanglement between the senior brother and the second senior brother.

He didn't ask Feng Zhichang why he told him these things, the answer was obvious.

Facing the fish tank, the two were speechless, and the ink gradually soaked into half the sky.

During this period, Yu Guanchong came over to tease the fish with fish food, looked at the woodcarved couple, and smiled knowingly.

"Just like your mother," he said to Xie Zhixu, "I like to be alone and think about things."

Feng Zhichang's voice sounded in his heart, because of the effect of the same root, it was as kind as Xie Zhixu's own thoughts.

——Give yourself an answer. In the Yuxian Conference two days later, you should ask him in person, and don’t borrow others’ words.

"You're right," Xie Zhixu replied, "Actually, many people in the village told me that Brother Feng Er on the top of the mountain had a bad temper and was hard to get along with. They told me to be careful not to offend you when I was new here.Brother Wu also said that no one is willing to make friends with you. '

Feng Zhichang snorted coldly, and heard Xie Zhixu say again: "But now I feel that it's just because you don't like to communicate with others, second senior brother, in fact, sometimes you can see clearly compared to senior martial brother. I like to listen to your speech."

As Xie Zhixu said, he thought of Xu Tao telling him that only the two of them are brothers who have shared experiences and can cherish each other, but now that Xu Tao has betrayed him, the only ones who are still with him are Qiongshan, who have known each other halfway. , then turned around and smiled at Feng Zhichang: "You are very nice." '

Unexpectedly, a layer of blood appeared on Feng Zhichang's pale cheeks.

Xie Zhixu was stunned in surprise, and was gouged out by Feng Zhichang, and he pushed the wheelchair away, leaving him behind.

Back in the guest room across the yard, Wu Li had already laid down, shaking his Di Tianji folding fan by the head of the sweltering bed, and the large golden lacquered characters flickered.

"Where have you been?"

Xie Zhixu replied: "Chat with Second Senior Brother."

"Can we talk?" Wu Li was overwhelmed by him, "Freak."

Xie Zhixu thought for a while, and remembered Feng Zhichang's half reddish side face, he was always depressed, it was rare to have such a vivid expression.

"I've never met someone who looks so good-looking." Xie Zhixu said.

Wu Li shook his fan for a long time, realized what he was saying, turned to look at him: "What's wrong!"

"Exquisite and delicate," Xie Zhixu said again, "I have an older brother who is also very delicate, but it's a pity that he's playing around with guns all day long."

Wu Li stared at him in disbelief.

"Go to sleep." Xie Zhixu finally said.

While waiting for the immortal meeting, Xie Zhixu was ordered to stay in his house and not go anywhere, so as not to be seen by Hou Daizhao's eyes and ears.

In fact, he has always had doubts in his heart.Where did the disappearing Xu Hui go?Where is the disciple who tipped off White Horse Castle now?

"I don't know. Speaking of which, since he asked me to take in the orphan of the former owner, he disappeared." Yu Guanchong watered the tomatoes he planted in the corner of the courtyard. Come and work for a few days, and then go back to the mountains without work. Who knows."

Xie Zhixu accompanies his grandfather to take care of the vegetable garden, and follows behind with a bucket in his hand, he murmurs, feeling a little suspicious.

Yu Guanchong looked back at him while pouring water, laughed twice, and said, "If he has malicious intentions, can you stay safe in my house until you recover? Xiaojing, trust others to treat you now. Is it a bit too difficult to say?"

Whenever trust is mentioned, Xie Zhixu will think of Hou Daizhao, and now there is Xu Tao.

Yu Guanchong said: "The surname Hou was willing to let you go that night, just to keep someone behind. At least you can live in peace of mind until his next plan starts." He reached out and touched a few tomato seedlings. The green cones are very happy: "Yo, a few more."

In all fairness, Xie Zhixu still admires his grandfather a lot—the owner of an embroidery shop, no one in terms of power and wealth can challenge Hou Daizhao head-on, and he is also a little old man with no strength to restrain a chicken. He dared to be alone in the night when the crisis was lurking Sneak into Baoqing Temple, and secretly take home the group of grandchildren who have nowhere to go.

Looking from the corner of the eaves of the house, you can see the fiery red line of the cherry forest halfway up the suburban mountain.Sometimes Xie Zhixu would wonder whether his grandfather would make up for his guilt on his grandson because he failed to rescue his daughter in the fire two years ago.

They rested in the pavilion beside the vegetable garden, Xie Zhixu said: "At that time, my mother had a chance to escape with me. Hou Daizhao's mutiny, my father received a report and asked my mother to take me to escape from the back mountain to move Rescue soldiers. At that time, I didn’t know that they were lying to me. I thought there were rescue soldiers from heaven. Unfortunately, I could be deceived but my mother could not be deceived. She took me out of the forest and told me to run down the road, but returned by herself... "

What is the returned result, you don't need to ask.

Yu Guanchong sighed deeply: "And then, did you find a rescuer?"

Xie Zhixu smiled wryly: "It's not a rescuer, it's just that Mr. Liu from Jiuzheban happened to come to the villa for a banquet, and he was the only one. My parents told me to run down the road, and then I would meet Mr. and ask him to take me in. That's all."

What happened later was that the husband tied him up to prevent him from going back for revenge, and when Xie Zhixu calmed down, he discovered the fact that he had lost all his skills.

"Sir, I don't know what's going on, I guess it might be the sequelae of being too emotional," Xie Zhixu said helplessly, "I have accepted it, but I still find it strange. After I escaped with my mother, I was still in front of the mountain. My father was practicing martial arts, and everything was still as usual..."

Even his knowledgeable Third Senior Brother couldn't answer this question, Xie Zhixu once thought that there might not be an answer.Maybe one day he turns to religion, and someone will tell him that everything is karmic reincarnation.

After Yu Guanchong listened, he pondered for a while, as if he was thinking about something.

Xie Zhixu was a little surprised. Does his grandfather who doesn't know martial arts have any opinions?

However, after Yu Guanchong finished thinking, he just asked him to eat.

"Your aunt cooks the dishes with her own hands. You should appreciate the face no matter what. Don't look dejected."

Although Xie Zhixu has never seen the rumored mother's eldest brother's family during the few days he lived here, he knows that they all live in the Dongkua courtyard, and sometimes he can hear children laughing through the courtyard wall.

"Grandpa is also a blessing for four generations to live under one roof." Xie Zhixu sighed.

"Of course, why don't the old man continue to live without your mother? Silly boy, life goes on and on, and nothing is worth dying for."

Yu Guan Chong walked in front with his hands behind his back, his back slightly bent, and the corners of his rich silk and satin clothes were stained with a little mud from the vegetable field.Chen Xing manages the accounts and silver, and returns with the moon lotus hoe.He's a long-lived man who couldn't be more comfortable

In the direction of the market in the city, the lights are on for the first time, BMW cars, pedestrians, and the bustling night market gradually kicked off, presenting the unique style of Jingjiang city to the guests from other places. Those who have ghosts will sit at their respective wine tables , Pushing cups and changing cups, each other's joints set up a dark | net of collusion.
