When the Red Flame Wolf King heard this voice, he came to the front with a "whew", held the little white wolf with trembling hands, and asked in an unnatural voice, "Are you talking?"

The little white wolf moved back and forth in the wolf king's hands a few times, and made a voice again: "Grandpa, you let me go, it's uncomfortable for you to hold me." ”

"Okay, okay!" The red wolf carefully put the little wolf on the ground, his eyes were full of love, where was the fierce appearance of a generation of wolf kings, and the two big hands were rubbed back and forth, obviously a little overwhelmed.

Ye Heng and Yun Yiyao stepped forward together and teased the little wolf, and the little wolf had a lot of fun with them. When the Red Flame Wolf King saw this scene, he felt very uncomfortable, and suddenly said, "Okay, you guys are busy with your own, don't waste time here!" and then picked up the little wolf, as if he was afraid that the two of them would run the little wolf away.

Yun Yiyao smiled and left immediately, looking for a suitable opponent to fight, while Ye Heng rode to Fenghe Ranch.

Ye Heng only stayed in Fenghe Ranch for half a day, and after having lunch with the old stone, he took some gifts prepared by the old stone for the old owner of Zhou and left.

Coming to Xiangyunzhuang again, Ye Heng felt like a world away. Standing outside Xiangyun Village, looking at the familiar Zhuang Gate, Ye Heng's thoughts couldn't help but think of the scene when he first came to Xiangyun Village, when the two young masters of the Zhou family continued to make things difficult for him, trying to exclude him from Xiangyun Village, now that he thinks about it, it is estimated that since then, Zhou Dashao has been holding a grudge, so he has been hostile to him since then.

However, Ye Heng just remembered the past, and he didn't have any hatred for them, or rather, maybe the status was different, so these little characters didn't take it to heart, and they couldn't worry about it.

"Hello Shaoxia, I see you standing quietly in front of our Xiangyun Village and haven't left for a long time, is there something wrong?" At this time, a guard wearing a five-colored auspicious cloud on his chest came to Ye Heng and asked very politely.

Ye Heng came back to his senses, clasped his hands into fists, and said: "Hello brother, I am here to find the old owner of Zhou, please report it, just say that the old stone of Fenghe Ranch sent someone to visit, and I am tired!"

"I don't know the name of the young man, the owner asked, and there is a good excuse in the next. The guards did not leave immediately, but interrogated Ye Heng's origin.

Ye Heng thought for a while, decided to tell the truth, and said, "In Xia Ye Heng, he was a member of the Xiangyun Guard. ”

"Are you Ye Heng?" the guard looked at Ye Heng in surprise, didn't ask any more, and said, "Shaoxia, wait a minute, I'll go and report", and then left in a hurry.

Ye Heng's name may not be cared about in other places, but for the people of Xiangyun Village, it is like thunder! Especially since the old owner of Zhou Zhuang returned to take charge of Xiangyun Village, he has made all the things related to him public, completely recovering his innocence. Especially after Ye Heng's deeds of making trouble with the Murong family reached Ningfeng City, many Xiangyun guards regarded them as role models, and often talked about them in their spare time.

Now that Ye Heng came to the door, after the Xiangyun guard learned his true identity, he didn't ask any more questions, and immediately reported to the old owner of Zhou, which was understandable. Because everyone knew that the old owner of Zhou intended to let Ye Heng return to Xiangyun Village, knowing that Ye Heng had come and did not report it, he was afraid that he would be blamed by the old owner of Zhou.

It didn't take long for the guard to run out in a hurry and said to Ye Heng: "Ye Shaoxia, please come in, the old owner is invited!"

Ye Heng nodded in thanks and walked inside. It's just that he didn't take a step, but he saw that Old Master Zhou had already walked out quickly, and Ye Heng immediately walked a few steps quickly and stepped forward to salute.

"No courtesy, no courtesy!Ye Heng, I'm very happy that you can come back to see me, a bad old man, no need to be polite!" said the old owner of Zhou with a laugh.

Under the leadership of the old owner, the two came to the hall of Xiangyun Village, Ye Heng took out the gift prepared by the old stone and gave it to the old owner, and began to talk with the old owner. Not long after sitting down, several elders came one after another, including Great Elder Zhou Wen, Eighth Elder Tai Shi Qian, and Twelfth Elder He Yun.

After a few people greeted each other for a while, Ye Heng said: "Old Master Zhou, in addition to visiting your old man's house this time, I also want to talk about a business with you, I wonder if you are interested?"

"Tell me about business!" said the old owner with interest.

"I want to set twenty horses first, the standard, it is best to equip cavalry horses, although the number is not large, but I have high requirements for quality, you can settle me according to the market price in terms of price. Ye Heng said his request and looked at Old Master Zhou.

"No problem, but, no matter what, I still see you as a member of our Xiangyun Village, so I will give you a seven-fold discount on the price, in addition, if you encounter any difficulties and need help, just come to Xiangyun Village!"

"Thank you old owner!" Ye Heng thanked sincerely, and then said, "I have established my own force in Jinyang Prefecture, called Fengbing Pavilion, mainly to build weapons, if Xiangyunzhuang needs weapons, you can also come to me, I will also give you a seven-fold discount, and absolutely guarantee the quality!"

"Okay! Anyway, our Xiangyun Guardian Regiment needs to purchase a large number of weapons every year, as long as you can ensure the quality, we will purchase them from your Fengbing Pavilion in the future. Otherwise, I will arrange for someone to send the horses you have ordered to Jinyang Prefecture, and by the way, go and see the weapons you have sold, and bring them back with them when they return. The old farmer said.

"Okay, do as you say!

Ye Heng agreed.

A few people chatted for a while, it was getting late, the old owner of Zhou arranged a banquet to invite Ye Heng, the wine was over three rounds, and the dishes were five flavors, the old owner of Zhou finally couldn't hold it back, and asked: "Ye Heng, you have been in Yong'an City for more than a year, have you ever met Sisi?"

"Encountered it a few times. Ye Heng replied truthfully.

"Then how is your relationship?" Old Master Zhou looked at Ye Heng expectantly.

Ye Heng was speechless for a while, but he still said honestly: "We have broken up, she is now in the Jingwu Academy, and I don't know much about her recent situation." However, she is quite famous, and now she is known as one of the top ten beauties in the imperial capital, ranking very high, and she should be very good if she wants to come. ”

After listening to Ye Heng's words, the old owner of Zhou was silent for a while, and finally sighed and said: "It's tiring to be famous! Sisi still hasn't figured out the meaning of life, like her father, she attaches too much importance to the prosperity in front of her, and is lost in the aura shrouded in flowers and applause, but ignores the ordinariness and truth of life. ”

"As long as she feels happy, we may not agree with her lifestyle, but we bless her equally. Ye Heng said sincerely.

"Ye Heng, you are a good boy, in fact, the old man has always regarded you as my grandson-in-law, just thinking about her, alas, I only blame you for having no fate!" The old owner of Zhou Zhuang sighed, "The rivers and lakes are sinister, and the people are warm and cold, she still hasn't seen through it! A woman, if she thinks that she can get everything she wants by virtue of her youth and beauty, it would be too stupid! Others pamper her and get used to her, and what they fancy is nothing more than her young and beautiful, maybe she will suffer if she can't wait for Fanghua to pass away!" Ye Heng, if one day Sisi she is in trouble, if she finds you, please help her, the old man pleases you!"

"Old farmer, things may not be as pessimistic as you say, Sisi is very smart, she should be able to grasp her own life. Ye Heng said with relief.

If she is a little stupid, she will definitely be able to spend her life in peace, but there are too many things she pursues, you must know, in the end, this is a world controlled by men! If it is in Ningfeng City, the old man can give her a life of being high and superior, but in Yong'an City, which has no foundation, she can only rely on those men who covet her young and beautiful, which is tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger, even if she can get what she wants for a while, she is destined to lose what she has, and the final result will be more than worth the loss. The old farmer said pessimistically.

Ye Heng put himself in Zhou Si's shoes, thinking about it, thinking about her circling among Ouyang Jian's rich and powerful sons, he was really worried about her. They are not stupid, because of their birth, they are in contact with the dark side of human nature earlier than their peers, they are more shrewd, more sophisticated, more good at the surface of one thing behind the other, they are sold by them, you are likely to be kept in the dark, and you are still counting the money for others. Perhaps, the old owner of Zhou has already seen through this, so he will worry about Zhou Sisi.

"Old owner, the world is not so absolute, maybe Sisi will meet someone who is really good to her, and the rest of her life will be very happy. Ye Heng still hoped that Zhou Sisi could live well, so he kept comforting the old owner.

The old owner of Zhou Zhuang smiled bitterly: "Ye Heng, I know that you are kind-hearted, but the reality is so cruel, the combination of two people, once it has a certain purpose, then it is destined to be a tragedy! In order to realize her ambition, Sisi will not look down on the ordinary people she thinks, but the person she can look at, even if she is sincere to her, but what about the family behind him? Our Xiangyunzhuang can be said to be a first-class force in the northwest, but in the eyes of the family of the people who can see Sisi, our Xiangyunzhuang is not worth mentioning at all! Even if I gamble all the family business, at most to ensure her temporary happiness, when she loses the value of use, or when Xiangyunzhuang is squeezed dry, she will be ruthlessly abandoned, do you understand?"

Ye Heng is no longer a fledgling and simple-minded teenager, he understands very well that what the old farmer Zhou said is basically the truth, but he still wants to argue for Zhou Sisi, and said: "Old farmer, please forgive me for being disrespectful, since you say so, then if I combine with Sisi, it is also not the right household, can you guarantee that she can live a happy life?"

"Hahahaha!" Old Zhou laughed and said, "From the fact that you can ask this sentence, you know that you are really thinking about it!"

Ye Heng admitted: "I really hope that she can live a happy life!"

"So I said, if Sisi can really choose you, I will rest assured, you will definitely be able to live a very happy life. The old farmer affirmed.

"Why do you say that?" Ye Heng asked curiously.

"Because you have no purpose, you have no plans for her. Moreover, the old man does not look at family background, but on human nature, if you marry Sisi, will you try your best to make her happy?" asked the old farmer rhetorically.

Ye Heng thought about it, it is indeed as the old owner said, although he is an orphan and has no family background, he will do his best to give his women a stable life and a good family background for his children. In the end, Ye Heng didn't say anything for Zhou Sisi anymore, but just drank with the old owner Zhou.

After the banquet, the old owner of Zhou stayed Ye Heng in Xiangyun Village for the night

He arranged in the hut where he had previously lived. The old owner personally sent him over and said: "This house has been kept for you, and it has been cleaned by someone at ordinary times, in order to hope that one day, you can return to Xiangyunzhuang." To be honest, your three generations of disciples are now the mainstay of Xiangyunzhuang, but the strength of the next few batches of disciples is really much worse than yours. Of course, I don't mean the martial rank, but the actual combat ability. Compared with two years ago, the current Xiangyun Guards have really dropped a lot, so I really want you to come back and help me bring these young people with me!"

Ye Heng returned to his familiar residence, and felt very warm in his heart, so it was not easy to directly refuse the invitation of the old owner, and said: "Old owner, I am now a student of the Hero Martial Academy, and I will only graduate in a few years, and if I have the opportunity at that time, I am willing to return to Xiangyun Village." ”

The old owner smiled: "I know you can't pull away, I just express my heart to you, even if you are not in Xiangyunzhuang, I have always regarded you as a disciple of Xiangyunzhuang, with your current strength, I will not be too much to give you the identity of an elder!"

"Thank you to the old owner for your love, Ye Heng is grateful! In the future, the old owner will be useful to me, don't be polite, I don't treat you as an outsider! The handwriting of you and the Great Elder is still on me, although we don't have the name of master and apprentice, but we have the reality of master and apprentice, from this relationship, I am still a person from Xiangyunzhuang!" Ye Heng said sincerely.

"Hehehe, what you said is true, well, since you are already the leader of a force, and I am the owner of Xiangyun Village, it is better to do this, from now on, we will form an alliance, what do you think?" said the old owner of Zhou with a smile.

"That's very good!However, since I'm often absent from the Fengbing Pavilion, the affairs in the Pavilion are usually taken care of by others, so I'll bring someone to meet you and discuss cooperation matters, what do you think?" Ye Heng said excitedly.

Old Master Zhou shook his hand and said, "Don't you want twenty horses? This time, I will personally lead the team to send them to you, and by the way, see how your Fengbing Pavilion is doing, and also see how the weapons you have built are.

When Ye Heng heard this, he immediately agreed, and said, "Then according to what you said, however, I will return to Jinyang Prefecture in about ten days, or will we go together?"

The old owner of Zhou happily agreed, and the two chatted for a while, and the old owner of Zhou told Ye Heng to rest early before leaving.

After Ye Heng washed, he lay on the bed he was familiar with, and it didn't take long for him to fall asleep.

In the middle of the night, Ye Heng was suddenly awakened by the sound of a huge thunderstorm, got up and came to the window, and closed the window tightly. However, through the window, he saw the old owner of Zhou sitting alone in the pavilion in the distance and drinking. Although he couldn't see clearly, he could feel that the old farmer was not in a good mood.

Maybe it was because he saw himself that the old owner remembered his granddaughter who was far away in Yong'an City, and he couldn't rest assured that he couldn't sleep.

In peacetime, young people only care about the laughter and tears of their lovers in their eyes, only feel their loneliness and sadness, and occasionally think of the hardships and helplessness of their parents, but how many people have cared about the thoughts and concerns of their grandparents?

Ye Heng is an orphan, when he was a child, he was raised by the old priest, and after the village was destroyed, he grew up with the old stone, so the existence of "grandpa", in his opinion, was the closest person! When he saw the lonely figure of the old owner of Zhou, he couldn't help but feel a sour in his heart, hiding in the house, and inexplicably shed hot tears.

A rain and tears, looking at the lonely shadow from afar, haggard.

A pot of turbid wine and a person are drunk, thinking about the sins of relatives in a foreign land.

The storm makes it hard to sleep, and everyone in the world sleeps and I am drunk alone.

The joys and sorrows are hard to guess, and the black hair comes to make the white hair tired.

Early the next morning, after the rain, the sky was clear, and the entire Ningfeng City was completely new. Ye Heng walked out of the hut, stood in front of the door and boxed, and did some activity.

The old owner of Zhou came to Ye Heng early in the morning, the old owner seemed to be in good spirits, the two of them had breakfast together, and asked Ye Heng if he had anything to do today, so he took him to check the properties in Ningfeng City.

The old owner of Zhou didn't come out for a long time, and those clerks suddenly found that the old owner was coming, and they were all excited, and people kept saying hello to the old owner.

The old owner of Zhou was like taking his successor to inspect his own industry, constantly introducing Ye Heng, and before he knew it, the morning had passed. At noon, the two of them found a tavern outside and had a casual meal, and it was obvious that the old owner of Zhou was very happy, on the way back to Xiangyunzhuang, the old owner said: "It's really rare to be idle for half a day, Ye Heng, if you have time to come to Xiangyunzhuang in the future, stay for a few more days and accompany me to go out for a walk." In the past, when Sisi was there, she often pestered me to take her out to play. After she left Xiangyunzhuang, I didn't leave the village for a long time. This person is old, not only afraid of loneliness, but also lazy, if it weren't for Zhou Jun leaving Xiangyunzhuang, I really want to let go of the things in my hands, indulge in the landscape, enjoy life, but unfortunately, I am a hard worker!"

"Old owner, if you have time, I will definitely come to Xiangyun Village to accompany you more!" Ye Heng said.

"I know that you can't help yourself, it's enough for you to have this heart, while you're young, you still do your own thing. Sentimentality, reminiscences of the past, this is our old man's thing. The old owner of Zhou said with a smile, having said that, he seemed to be really happy.

Ye Heng could feel that the old owner was in a very happy mood. People are old and really need companionship.
