"What?!" Yu Yao involuntarily let out a sharply rising voice as he grabbed his arm at once.

He lost his temper.

The president of the Ancient Society, Xu Chang'an, patted Yu Yao's shoulder very calmly, and then continued to pace forward, "That's right, I am Xu Taiyan's son Xu Chang'an, born on the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month in 1929. ”

"You ······" Yu Yao looked at Xu Chang'an's back and opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak.

Seeing that Xu Changan was walking farther and farther, and his voice was getting quieter and quieter, Yu Yao shook his head vigorously and quickly followed him.

The morning was very cold, but beads of sweat appeared on Yu Yao's head.

Xu Changan continued to walk slowly and said, "In your heart, there will definitely be a big exclamation mark, followed by a series of question marks. You listen to me first, and then ask when I'm done. ”

Yu Yao nodded involuntarily, "Okay, you say." ”

The morning sun gradually rose, and Yu Yao followed Xu Changan to the edge of a small stone platform in the manor, which was obviously some years old and was already mottled. Xu Chang'an was on the edge of the fluffy stone platform, "Let's start with me getting separated from my mother and uncle." ”

What Xu Changan said at the beginning was similar to what Yu Yao understood, and later, Xu Changan originally settled in Changsha.

"I was seven years old at the time, and I remember that my real name was Xu Chang'an. My adoptive parents were very nice, they ran a bookstore and sent me to school, which gave me a good foundation. ”

"In 1944, when Changsha fell completely, and my adoptive parents died in the shelling of the Japanese invaders, I was only fifteen years old. Fleeing Changsha alone, wandering around southern Shonan is similar to a beggar.

However, the Japanese only occupied Changsha for a little more than a year, and it was recaptured in 1945. The final unconditional surrender of the Japanese was a major event that was celebrated by the whole country. At this time, I returned to the familiar Changsha and later became an apprentice in an antique shop. Maybe it's because of genetics, I'm very talented in this area, and the owner likes me very much, and with a lot of guidance, my level is getting higher and higher, and my life is stable again. ”

"In the autumn of 1946, August 14, the day before August 15, it was really a good day. A rich lady in Changsha City bought a pair of jade bracelets in our store. She likes jadeite, but she doesn't know much about it, so I introduced it more at the time. The business was done, and everyone was happy. The shopkeeper told me that she was the eldest lady of the Chang family. ”

When Xu Changan received this, his brows stretched slowly, and there seemed to be a trace of warmth in the cold wind.

And Yu Yao's brows couldn't help frowning slightly.

Xu Changan walked around the stone platform, paced slowly a few steps, and continued:

"Later, Miss Chang came a few more times, and each time she looked at some jewels and jade, and also bought a pastel rouge box from the Qing Dynasty, and we gradually became familiar with it······"

Xu Changan stopped and smiled bitterly, "I won't say much about the process, in the words of you young people, this is that kind of vulgar plot, and then I secretly got along with Miss Chang." In 1947, I was eighteen and she was nineteen. ”

"The shopkeeper saw the clue and had a deep talk with me, so that I don't have any wrong thoughts, marriage pays attention to the right family, the Chang family is rich and powerful, and the Chang family is arrogant, and he will never agree to be with us. What's worse is that if I let him know, I'm afraid he will be more than lucky. ”

"Actually, I understand the truth, but the love is just beginning, and I can't stop it. In the end, she actually decided to elope with me and leave Changsha! ”

"As a result, we were caught shortly after we escaped from Changsha City. I was seriously injured and thrown into the Xiangjiang River. Miss Chang was taken home and kept under strict supervision. ”

When Yu Yao heard this, his heart couldn't help but twitch, although Xu Changan was now safe and sound in front of him.

"That time, I almost died, maybe there was a providence in the dark, I was not only rescued, but the person who saved me was Yun Haisheng, the bookkeeper of the Ghost Eye Gate!"

"Uncle Yun has been looking for me, but in those days, it was too difficult to find someone, if I hadn't become an apprentice in an antique shop later, and I had restored my real name, I guess he wouldn't have been able to find me. Even so, he finally got the clue, and when he came to Changsha, the first news was that I was caught eloping with Miss Chang Jia!"

"Uncle Yun is in the Ghost Eye Gate, he only obeys the dispatch of the big palm, not only is he a bookkeeper, but he is also an out-and-out master, and he is also proficient in the art of Qihuang. We temporarily lived in a small courtyard near Changsha, and after a month, I was basically cured, and Uncle Yun said that he would take me back to Yanjing, but I never forgot Miss Chang in my heart, and begged Uncle Yun to find a way to take her with me. ”

"Uncle Yun asked me very solemnly at that time: Is it okay not to take her? I said, it will be better for me to live than to die. Uncle Yun nodded and said okay, everything will be arranged by him. The next day, after he confessed to me, he returned to Changsha City alone. ”

"Two days later, early in the morning, he really brought Miss Chang to see me, but it was Miss Chang who was in a coma. Only then did I know that he was unexpected, and killed the Chang family in the early morning of that day, leaving only Miss Chang faint and brought back. I was young and didn't understand why he did this······" Xu Changan looked at Yu Yao, "Do you understand?"

Yu Yao sighed, but nodded, "If you only take Miss Chang away, the Chang family will eventually know that you are not dead, and you will still have troubles." Moreover, you can't be beaten in vain. ”

"yes. Xu Changan nodded, "Uncle Yun said, if I didn't insist on taking Miss Chang away, he would only find a way to abolish Master Chang's two legs to avenge me, but if I want to take Miss Chang away, then I can't help but kill the killer." ”

"I was in a mess at the time, but what can I do if the matter has come to this point? Uncle Yun comforted me again, saying that Miss Chang didn't know what was going on, and let me tell Miss Chang according to the plot he had designed. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Changan paused for more than ten seconds before he said, "However, all this we said was heard by Miss Chang who was lying on the bed in the middle, and she woke up early! ”

After speaking, Xu Changan fell silent again.

Yu Yao was silent for a while, and then said softly, "She, in the end, she should have abandoned you and left alone, right?"

Xu Changan nodded, "Sort of, no matter what I say, she said that we can't be together anymore." However, she accepted the burden I gave her with a sum of money, and Uncle Yun and I secretly escorted her to Yueyang. The people in the Chang family are dead, she still has an aunt, married to Yueyang, the family situation is not bad, she can be regarded as taking refuge in her aunt. ”

"After this incident, my state became extremely bad, even a little muddy. Uncle Yun seemed to be forcibly suppressing himself, and didn't say much, but just took me all the way back to Yanjing and Gegu Zhai! At this time, Gegu Zhai had already changed hands, although it was still an antique shop, the plaque was changed ······"

"It was late at night, the shops in Liulichang were closed, and the streets were silent, so he took me to stand in front of the original Gegu Zhai and quietly told me what my father had been through, and after he finished speaking, he suddenly shouted to me: Kneel!"
