Two days later, the sun was rising and the breeze was cool.

Xie Yunxi drove to the main residence of the Xie family, preparing to attend the ancestor worship ceremony tomorrow morning.

As soon as he entered the house, he had just finished greeting the concierge when Xie Xiaowu ran out from the inner courtyard, hugged his thigh, and sweetly called "Third Brother".

However, Xie Yunxi became lazy after summer, and hadn't been down the mountain for a while, and Xie Xiaowu still had a lot of studies on weekdays, so naturally he didn't have time to go up the mountain.

Long time no see, Xie Xiaowu is full of grievances.

"Third brother, you haven't seen Xiao Wu for a long time, do you have another little sister, huh?"

Facing the little girl's accusation, Xie Yunxi was both helpless and funny.

He picked up Xie Xiaowu and coaxed: "It's the third brother's fault, the third brother will make you something delicious later, okay?"

Immediately, the little girl fell down again, feeling much lighter than before, "Did Xiao Wu not eat well, why did she lose a lot of weight?"

Upon hearing the topic of eating, Xie Xiaowu glanced at his mouth unhappily, "It's hot, the food is not good."

Xie Yanshi followed out from the backyard, just in time to hear Xie Xiaowu's words, and said angrily: "You are the most hypocritical, it's not too hot, just don't eat this, and don't want to eat that, I'm used to you Pretend to be good in front of the third brother."

Xie Xiaowu pouted and didn't want to talk about eating, so he just hugged Xie Yunxi's neck and buried his head in it, pretending to be an ostrich and deaf.

Xie Yanshi snorted coldly, and was too lazy to talk about things early in the morning, so he just greeted Xie Yunxi, "Sanlang, sit in the room quickly, the sun is getting more and more scorching."

Xie Yunxi was kind, chatting with Xie Yanshi, and walked to the front hall.

The three of them found a seat at random, Xie Xiaowu naturally stuck to him, the childish talk was very interesting, and he didn't mention the matter of eating at all.

Xie Yanshi looked at the time, worried that Xie Yunxi would not have had breakfast when he came, "Sanlang, have you had breakfast yet? Auntie asked someone to prepare it."

"I've eaten. It's so early. I even picked a basket of fresh peaches. I'll ask the kitchen to wash them up and eat them together."

Xie Yunxi said, looking left and right, "Why don't you see uncle, second uncle and eldest aunt?"

Guessing the time, they should all be up, and - "Are the elder brother and the second sister still awake?"

It shouldn't be, his second sister is okay, but his elder brother is a self-disciplined person.

Xie Yanshi shook his head and sighed softly, thinking of the turmoil last night, it was really helpless and funny, if she hadn't taken care of her child, she would not be able to wake up now.

Seeing her indescribable expression, Xie Yunxi was even more surprised, "Second Aunt, what happened?"

Xie Yanshi was about to speak, but Xie Xiaowu spoke first, "Third brother, Xiaowu knows, big uncle, big aunt, and second sister, big brother..."

After thinking about the words, "Drunk, I was defeated by the grandpa last night, and the grandpa also said that they were all useless."

Grandpa?

Xie Yunxi didn't realize it for a while. After all, whenever Xie Xiaowu saw a white-haired elder, the men would all be called "Grandpa X". The difference was only in the prefix.

But being able to get all the Xie family's family drunk, young and old, this level of drinking is quite powerful, not to mention other things, at least Xie Yunxi remembers that his eldest aunt's drinking capacity is quite strong.

"Second Aunt, who is the grandpa that Xiao Wu is talking about? Why don't I remember that grandpa at home is so good at drinking."

Xie Yanshi didn't know what to think of, and looked at Xie Yunxi with some pity.

Xie Yunxi was inexplicable until he heard his second aunt say: "Grandpa, isn't it my father-in-law, your real grandfather?"

"Ah... grandpa!"

Xie Yunxi trembled, "Ah... why did Grandpa come home suddenly, why didn't I receive any news?"

"Oh, we were also caught off guard. Last night, everyone was about to rest after dinner, and the doorman came to report in a hurry, saying that your grandpa is back."

Xie Yanshi was helpless, "Actually, your second sister really talked about this matter."

"Second sister!"

Xie Yunxi suddenly remembered the events of the previous two days, and after a sudden realization, she wondered: "Second sister, how did she know? Second sister should have greeted Grandpa when she knew Grandpa was back."

Xie Yanshi sighed, "It's our fault too. In fact, your second sister said early in the morning that she had heard rumors that your grandfather would come back this year to worship the ancestors. Everyone thought she was messing around again. After all, there are so many people in our family, so we just When she heard the wind, she thought it was really unreliable."

"No, she was locked up by your aunt to embroider screens when she came back from Donglin."

The feeling is that his second sister has too much "black history".

Xie Yunxi supported her forehead and sighed softly, "I just said why she went to Donglin suddenly a few days ago, and she didn't go back to the main house after she came back. She wanted to hide from Grandpa."

Thinking of his grandfather, Xie Yunxi really didn't know how to express it. It's not that he is a bad grandfather, but rather——

Old children, old children, if Xie Yunxi is the most troublesome and helpless junior, then Mrs. Xie is the most troublesome and helpless elder of the Xie family.

Seeing that such a lawless person like Xie Nianhua wanted to avoid old Mrs. Xie, he was frightened by Huo Huo since he was a child.

Speaking of Mrs. Xie, it is really "lawless" when he plays with his heart, but he still likes to play with juniors.

When "Xie Yunxi" was in the army, he liked to play with Xie Nianhua the most. After Xie Yunxi returned to the family, he changed his target to Xie Yunxi.

To say that Xie Nianhua has grown up to be as good as a man now, a large part of it is because he was "huohuo" by Mrs. Xie.

As for Xie Yunxi, he is now moving his legs and thinking of running away - it's only a matter of time if he can hide for a while, life is hard, and it's good to live on.

however--

"Hey, isn't this Sanlang? You learned how to crawl like a frog early in the morning. Could this be the legendary morning exercise? It looks very fresh. Why don't you and I climb together?"

It's been a long time, but it's still a very recognizable voice.

Xie Yunxi paused, her neck stiffened and she raised her head, "Ah... Grandpa!" The unstoppable trill.

Old Mr. Xie looked at his grandson who was much more handsome, with a smile on his face, he stroked his beard and said: "Ah, long time no see, our Saburo is much handsomer again, not bad, not bad, and can 'cheat' a daughter-in-law back with her beauty later, and give birth to a new one." Beautiful milk doll, hahaha—"

Knowing that she couldn't escape at this moment, taking advantage of the normal topic, Xie Yunxi hurriedly stood up and saluted, "I have seen Grandpa, Saburo didn't know that you were too rude to return to the family for failing to meet in time."

Old Master Xie sat down on the table carelessly, waved his hands disapprovingly, "Don't learn from your elder brother, it's uncomfortable to watch this red tape."

He said again, "Speaking of your eldest brother and your uncle and second uncle, hey, it's really useless. Xie's man, after drinking so much wine, he will get down on the ground, not as good as an old man like me."

Xie Yunxi couldn't accept what he said, so she had to obediently come forward to pour tea, "Grandpa was joking, your drinking capacity is unmatched."

He said again: "By the way, I brewed a lot of fruit wine earlier. I don't know if grandpa likes it or not. I will ask someone to bring it for you to taste later."

Mrs. Xie loves wine, and when he heard that there was good wine, he was naturally happy, but he liked it more than wine—"Sanlang, we will talk about this wine later. nice one."

He said mysteriously, "One of them is amazing. My friend and I accidentally mixed it with saltpeter, charcoal and the like when making alchemy. That scene is really——you can never imagine how much it is. Stimulate."

Mixing nitrate and charcoal, still stimulating?

Xie Yunxi had some bad premonitions in her heart, she straightened up and took a closer look at Mrs. Xie, and said worriedly, "Grandpa, are you okay?"

"Hey, my old man's hands and feet are flexible. What can I do?"

Old Master Xie waved his hand carelessly, then blinked his mouth again, sensing something was wrong, "Hey, why do you seem to know what happened, maybe you also know what happened to the things we mixed in?"

Xie Yunxi paused, and then said nonchalantly, "Didn't I have lingering fears after hearing your word 'stimulation'?"

He pretended to be calm and changed the subject, "The last time you said these two words was when I was 11 years old. At that time, you climbed the mountain and said that you wanted to study lightning, and you went up the mountain on a thunderstorm day. Fortunately, you didn't stand under the tall tree when the thunder struck. Otherwise, the consequences of the lightning strike would be unimaginable."

When Xie Yunxi recalled the terrible things Mrs. Xie had done, she was quite terrified.

Don't talk about other things, let's just talk about four years ago, Mrs. Xie suddenly had a whim when he saw the thunder and lightning, and wanted to find out the mystery of it.

When people are curious, they just think about it in their hearts, but his old man is different. The so-called heart is not as good as action.

But this fact is too dangerous, the Xie family, big and small, naturally stopped them alive and well, on the face of it, but one day when there was lightning and thunder, Mrs. Xie sneaked up to Langya Mountain by himself while everyone was relaxing their vigilance.

Fortunately, the old man didn't go to other mountains. When he went up to Langya Mountain, the servant at the gate of Taohuaju found someone sneaking up the mountain. After careful inspection, he found that it was their old man, so he immediately reported to Steward.

When Xie Yunxi heard about this, she immediately realized that something was wrong, so she immediately went out to stop people.

However, as a junior, he naturally couldn't persuade others, and it was too late to inform the other elders of the Xie family.

In desperation, he could only hug Old Master Xie's thigh, clamoring to go up the mountain together - he couldn't persuade people to stay, so he had to pack himself up and take him away. Looking back, Xie Yunxi still feels sad for a while.

Of course, Mrs. Xie was so entangled at that time that she had no choice but to agree to take him up.

Along the way, Xie Yunxi babbled and babbled, deliberately slowing down her pace, and in the end, she was naturally disgusted to death.

But fortunately, he insisted on following. When the lightning flashed and the thunder struck, the old man Xie jumped up to the high place as if he was dying. Later, he even thought about climbing a tall tree, which he called "close observation".

Xie Yunxi was terrified at that time, and immediately ignored her image, she used all kinds of tricks, including crying and howling, plus hugging her thigh, and finally dragged the person away, preventing him from approaching the tall tree.

The tree grows on an extremely high terrain, and there is no other cover around it, so it is quite dangerous in thunderstorm days.

Sure enough, when Xie Yunxi was still hugging his grandfather's thigh, a thunderbolt struck, and it was split into a dead tree in an instant—it still smelled of sparks and burnt.

Few people can experience lightning strikes from such a quiet distance.

Xie Yunxi was really scared and stupid at the time.

Fortunately, Mrs. Xie was just too curious and didn't really want to seek death. Seeing that the danger of thunder and lightning was so terrifying, he naturally went down the mountain.

Afterwards, although Mrs. Xie was still curious about the thunder and lightning, he only watched it from a distance, and did not do anything that would scare people to death.

Of course, the fact that the old man didn't dare to explore the thunder and lightning at close range doesn't mean he can settle down in other matters.

Counting it down, everyone in the Xie family has been scared out of their wits many times by him. They have finally calmed down in the past two years. They only travel around the mountains and rivers on weekdays. Asking friends, although they are not at home, they are better than nothing. moth.

As long as he doesn't commit suicide, everyone will be happy with him.

Anyway, although the world is big, it will not be possible to step out of the Xie family's circle of influence, but whoever has the Xie family's property or eyes and ears will always give priority to taking care of the old lady.

The whole Xie family really didn't expect anything else from their grandpa, they just begged him to be honest and not to have so many whims, that was the greatest consolation.

——Look, what a humble and simple wish.

It's a pity that these years are coming to an end again.

Mixing nitrate with charcoal can produce the word "stimulation", and then related to alchemy - Xie Yunxi moved her salted fish brain for a long time, and it seemed that she could only think of the legendary sulfur.

Sulfur is a good thing, if it is paired with nitrate and charcoal—wow, isn’t this the basic formula of the legendary black powder.

Black powder blasting pill furnace!

——It is really exciting, it is simply an unparalleled "stimulation".

As long as Xie Yunxi thought about it, she couldn't help but gasp.

At this moment, he didn't know whether to admire his grandfather's ability to kill, or to be grateful for his longevity.

So, for some people, it is better to miss each other than to meet, and it is better not to meet each other when they miss.

No, as soon as we met, there was a "big gift" of sudden cardiac arrest, and the days to come would probably be frightening and restless.

Life is not easy, Xie Sanlang sighed, "Grandpa, look at me with thin arms and legs, this time you don't want to play 'exciting' on a whim, let's live a good life."

Then he said bitterly: "You drink less in the early morning, look at you haven't eaten breakfast yet, my grandson will let you go down here."

After eating noodles, I was shocked, and I had to think of a way to stop Mrs. Xie from studying black powder.

——Look at his grandfather's sparkling eyes when he mentioned the word "stimulation", Xie Yunxi dared to guarantee with his head that his grandfather must have collected a lot of sulfur, saltpeter, etc., just waiting to share the "stimulation" with him .

Well, as his grandpa's most beloved and trusted grandson, Xie Yunxi is so confident—oh, what a terrible self-confidence!
