Take a Sigh

The two casual cultivators rescued by Shen Zhuo were surnamed Su, one was named Su Qi and the other was named Su Yi. Because of the same surname, the two felt that they were destined to become brothers.

They are grateful to Shen Zhuo and Shen Zhuo for being able to turn danger into good fortune this time. On the way, Shen Zhuo asked, and he knew that the two of them were casual cultivators traveling all over the world. On weekdays, some sects were bound by the rules of the sect, and it was inconvenient to go down the mountain to enter the world. They were the ones who helped out. Gadgets needed.

They are all well-versed in the big and small sects in the south, this time they can be regarded as obsessed with ghosts, wanting to do big things, and never thought of almost folding themselves into it.

Shen Zhuo was a little surprised to hear about their relationship with various sects, but he didn't see that these two people had such experience.The mess caused by the counterfeit has not yet been clarified, Shen Zhuo is not suitable to confront Dan Xinzong head-on, the prestige accumulated by the Shen family cannot be used up, he just needs two people like this to help him run errands.

Shen Zhuo wanted to ask someone for help in his heart, but he didn't speak out in a hurry.His identity is still a bit inappropriate at the moment, and it will be more suitable after a while to make Dan Xinzong unhappy.

Huajincheng was getting closer and closer, and it was inconvenient for Shen Zhuo to continue to take the two with him. After discussing with Ling Shuangxue, he arranged the two of them in a small town not far from Huajincheng, and left some spirit stones for them to stay here. Good health and recuperation.

Seeing that Shen Zhuo and the others were unwilling to reveal their identities, they sent a jade slip to contact them. As long as Shen Zhuo asked, they would not shirk.

Shen Zhuo put away the jade slips and bid farewell to the two, and took Ling Shuangxue on the official road to Huajin City.

After being away for many years, once I came back, I saw the towering city tower, the black clouds hanging down, Shen Zhuo's closeness to the country, and I felt uneasy.

The Shen family was torn apart because of him getting to where he is now, and the family was restless. As the head of the family, Shen's father can imagine the burden on his shoulders.

After the counterfeit made such incidents back then, he was even more reluctant to come back, and Patriarch Shen was still angry about it for a long time.The news from the Minaret mentioned that his physical condition has been deteriorating day by day over the years, and he is no longer as strong as before.

Shen Zhuo felt uncomfortable in his heart, drawn by his blood, and deeply loved by his parents, all these were like a huge stone pressing on his heart.

They passed through the city tower on a cloud cart, and the city in their memory hadn't changed much, the only difference was that the shops with Shen's chess pieces in them were either closed down, or changed to other businesses, walking along a bustling street After that, no trace of the old Shen family could be seen anymore.

Shen Zhuo felt bored, he wanted to get out of the car and take a walk.Ling Shuangxue asked him to keep Jiaojiao and Wu Yunbao in the small world, and get out of the car to accompany him.

There is no snow in Huajincheng's winter, but it will be cold for a period of time. The kind of dark clouds are hazy and damp, and the cold wind is blowing on people's faces like knives.

The climate is abnormally changeable, Ling Shuangxue has stayed in the Huanyue Xianzong for a long time, and she still feels a little uncomfortable for a while.Shen Zhuo took out the prepared cloak and put it on him, covering his figure tightly, and the hood covering his shoulders and face, making it difficult to distinguish gender from a distance.

The original mansion of the Shen family was useless after the decline of the Shen family. The owner of the Shen family sealed it in the city and said it was mortgaged to Duan Yanchun, no one dared to make a fuss about it.

Shen Zhuo and Ling Shuangxue passed by the mansion, the Fire Cloud Lion Jade Statue at the door was majestic, and those jade carved eyes were piercing, as if they were guarding the gate for the Shen family day and night.Under the Fire Cloud Lion's feet, what was trampled was a troublesome little ghost. One of the ghost's horns had been cut off, and the cut surface was smooth.

It was Shen Zhuo's masterpiece when he was a child, because he was ignorant, he stumbled when he was gesticulating with a sword, and the blade accidentally cut off a corner.

The Huoyun Lion is the face of the Shen family, and other people feel that it is detrimental and should not be placed further, but the head of the Shen family does not think so.The jade that made the Fire Cloud Lion was very tough. Shen Zhuo was young at the time, but he could cut it off easily. Master Shen felt that he had a talent for learning swords, and he was very happy when he knew that he had Ling Shuangxue as his teacher.

Compared with other people's calculations, the head of the Shen family was patient and reasoned with Shen Zhuo.If there is a mistake and admit it, it will not be exempted just because of whose son he is.

Seeing things and thinking about people, the timidity in Shen Zhuo's heart turned into urgent thoughts because of memories, and the unbreakable blood and family ties evoked his desire to go home.He was afraid of his father and mother's eyes showing disappointment in him, it was all caused by him.But if he didn't go back, he would push his parents ahead and let them face these injustices.

He is no longer a son who hid under the protection of his parents when he was young, so how could he retreat because of this?

The Shen family was torn apart, everyone went their separate ways after moving out of the mansion, a small group of people who followed the head of the Shen family moved back to the original old house, where Shen Zhuo had few childhood memories.

Shen Zhuo led Ling Shuangxue through the long streets, through the alleys paved with bluestone slabs, around half of Huajin City, gradually away from the hustle and bustle of the market, across the winding river, in the rows of willow trees The current Shen family can be seen on the bank of the embankment.

There are few houses here, blue bricks and black tiles, and thick ink landscapes splashed on the white walls. Because it is close to the river bank, the smoke, clouds and mist are born, gentle and quiet, and it is a moving water town that makes people feel comfortable.

Ling Shuangxue's eyes flickered slightly, perhaps the current situation of the Shen family is too calm, people can't see the surging undercurrent, and they will relax unconsciously.

Shen Zhuo knocked on the door, but no one answered for a long time.He was a little puzzled, and knocked again patiently.This time there was the sound of footsteps, light and flexible.

The door was pushed open with difficulty, and a little girl with braids jumped out, about eleven or twelve years old, with a round face and dark eyes.Holding a long stick in her hand, she pointed at Shen Zhuo and said angrily: "What are you hitting? You big villains will bully Uncle Shen. If you don't leave, I will beat you out!"

The girl's eyes were round and round, and she was cute and smart. The anger on her face seemed coquettish and had no deterrent effect.

Shen Zhuo was stunned head-on, and he was dumb for a moment. Before he had time to reveal his identity, the girl said again: "Don't think that our Shen family is easy to bully, 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, you won't be rampant for too long. Our Shen family Even if there is only one person left, I will definitely settle all old accounts with you!"

The little girl's voice was loud, her eyes were fearless, and the hand holding the long stick was especially steady, without the slightest tremor.

Shen Zhuo was both gratified and sad in his heart. The gratified thing was that the Shen family's pride still survived, and they did not give in despite all kinds of hardships. The sad thing was that at this moment, the one standing in front of the Shen family's door to protect the dignity of the Shen family turned out to be a little baby.

The time away from home is too long, and the little girl is not very old, Shen Zhuo can't guess whose child she is.

"I'm not here to cause trouble, isn't there an adult at home?" Shen Zhuo asked softly, trying to make himself look calm and gentle, so as not to frighten the children.

The little girl raised her eyes and gave him a sideways look, and said, "If you're not looking for trouble, you should leave quickly, otherwise the trouble will come to you."

After finishing speaking, the little girl took back her long stick, turned around and was about to go back to the house.

Shen Zhuo hurried forward, stopped her hand that was about to close the door, and said, "Don't you ask me who I am?"

The little girl looked up at him, and said old-fashionedly: "Hiding your head and showing your tail, you don't look like a good person. I kindly remind you that it is not a good thing to get too close to our Shen family. Even if you stay at this door for a while, someone will call you Your background has been turned upside down."

"I'm afraid they won't look it up." Shen Zhuo laughed and understood what the little girl meant.

Even if the Shen family hadn't fallen to this point, there were still some people who stared at the thorn in the flesh and were always on guard for fear of resurgence.

From the attitude of the little girl, it is not difficult to see that they have often made things difficult for the Shen family, made things difficult for the Shen family, and caused trouble for the Shen family.

If it wasn't for the emaciated camels being bigger than the horses, they might have been driven to extinction by now.

Shen Zhuo's expression turned cold, and a killing intent flashed in his eyes.

The little girl didn't want to talk too much with him, but it was hard for her to go in even if the door was blocked.Fortunately, the little girl came to open the door without permission and disturbed the others, they came in a hurry, Shen Zhuo raised his head when he heard the sound, and the one who walked in front was the chief housekeeper of the Shen family, he cared about the kindness of the Shen family and his wife, and followed them through thick and thin, and did not leave.

As soon as the little girl saw the man, she immediately found the backbone, ran and jumped into the man's arms, and said coquettishly, "Amber."

Shen An hurriedly protected her, with a serious face, and worried: "Miss Seven, the Patriarch ordered no one to open the door, how could you rush out without authorization, are you injured?"

The little girl shook her head, looked at Shen Zhuo and said, "He said he didn't come here for trouble."

Shen An followed his gaze and felt that the person in front of him looked familiar even with the mask on. His eyelids twitched, followed by his heart beating wildly, excited for no reason.

Seeing that his acquaintance Shen Zhuo didn't hide anymore, he raised his hand to take off the mask, revealing a face somewhat similar to that of Patriarch Shen, and said, "Amber, I'm back."

Shen An was stunned, and the people who came with him were also very surprised.Shen Zhuo has been away from home for many years, and his appearance has changed a lot, but everyone still recognizes him at a glance, matching him with his young son.

They never expected that Shen Zhuo would come back quietly as the year approached.

Shen An covered his heart, feeling that he had been greatly stimulated, he did not step forward to salute Shen Zhuo, nor did he open his mouth to let Shen Zhuo in, instead he quickly put on a straight face and said: "My lord, I'm sorry, you Whether you can step into the door of the Shen family again is up to the owner to decide."

Shen Zhuo had expected such a result, and did not embarrass everyone, he said modestly: "Then please Amber to go again and tell my parents that I am back."

One sentence comes back, it is light to say, but it is heavy in the hearts of everyone.

The little girl didn't know what happened, she turned her big eyes around the crowd, analyzed the situation in her mind, and soon thought of Shen Zhuo's identity, and said in surprise: "So you are Uncle's unworthy son."

Shen Zhuo looked down at her, and Amber quickly protected her, explaining: "Young master, don't you know him? This is your third uncle's youngest daughter."

In Patriarch Shen's generation, he is the only one under his father's name, and Shen Zhuo is the only one under his name, so it can be regarded as a single pass from generation to generation.But his father's generation is different. His father has four brothers in total, which can be said to be a large number of heirs, and the brothers and sisters of the same age as Shen Zhuo are enough to make a few tables.

It took Shen Zhuo a while to figure out the identity of this little girl, and vaguely remembered that something happened. In the correspondence between his first year away from home, his father and mother mentioned the happy event of the third aunt, and sighed: "In a blink of an eye, everything is going to happen." It's grown so big."

Seeing that he didn't intend to make trouble, Amber heaved a sigh of relief, fearing that the little girl would say something wrong again, he hurriedly asked someone to take her down.

Although the head of the Shen family was very angry with Shen Zhuo, he was the young master of the Shen family after all, and there were many prying eyes outside the Shen family, so it was inconvenient for Amber to let Shen Zhuo stand outside, but let him come in and wait in the yard.

Shen Zhuo nodded, and turned around to invite Ling Shuangxue to enter.When Amber saw this, he was a little surprised. He looked at Ling Shuangxue suspiciously, but he saw nothing.

Shen Zhuo vaguely explained that he was a friend who was traveling with him, but Amber was dubious and didn't say anything, but left to ask Patriarch Shen for instructions.

Shen Zhuo stood quietly in the yard and waited. Seeing the sky getting dark, he smiled apologetically and said, "Master, it seems that this time I will cause you to be kicked out with me."

Ling Shuangxue asked in surprise, "Why did you say that?"

Shen Zhuo's gaze turned to the depths of the courtyard: "My father may not forgive me so easily."

Ling Shuangxue tilted her head. Based on his understanding, Patriarch Shen is not an unreasonable person, so how could he do something like kick his own son out of the house?

Shen Zhuo smiled wryly, there were too many misfortunes caused by counterfeit products, and many of them harmed relatives, this alone was enough for his father to exterminate his relatives righteously.

It was as if there was a sympathy between father and son. As soon as Shen Zhuo's voice fell, Shen An didn't need to reply on the other side. The master and apprentice heard Patriarch Shen's angry voice and said angrily: "Son, do you still have the face to come back?"

Shen Zhuo sighed, Master Shen's powerful spiritual sense swept over from the backyard, Ling Shuangxue took off the veiled hat at the right time, the divine sense paused, and the voice of Master Shen sounded again: "Cough... come to see me when you are back, wait for me Send someone to invite you?"
