Chapter 114: Cat and Mouse

Gu Yuanshan and Ji Yanxin's invisible contest was immersed in wine, and every drop of mellow nectar was like a drop of blood under the shadow of the sword, and every drop of drinking was as if they had inhaled the essence of the other party, and they were hearty in an instant.

The two smiled lightly, looked at each other from time to time, and invisibly had another invisible contest.

Ji Yanxin took a sip of wine and sighed: "Good wine! The entrance is mellow and fragrant, and the aftertaste is endless!"

"Good wine is a hero, an admirable hero like my brother should be matched with such good wine!" Gu Yuanshan smiled a little far-fetched, and Ji Yanxin smiled heartily: "Secretary Gu's words are wrong, this kind of good wine is worthy of a person of noble status like you, I am just stained!"

"Hahaha-our brothers and sons have even begun to praise each other! Time is like a white horse, more than twenty years have passed in a flash, thinking about our childhood, it is really a little interesting!" Gu Yuanshan mentioned the things when he was young, and even he didn't know what he meant.

"Heh, I'm afraid Secretary Gu has forgotten what Yanque Village looks like, right? Calculate it, how long has it been since you went back?" Ji Yanxin knew that after Gu Yuanshan went to college, he never returned to Yanque Village in the remote mountains of the poor mountains, and he didn't admit it at all, his roots were there.

"There is no one at home, so I don't want to go back to touch the scene, Brother Ma Xuan'er should know more about my distress!" Gu Yuanshan suddenly changed to his old name, and Ji Yanxin was really in a trance, as if he was in a different world.

"Unexpectedly, Secretary Gu is also a nostalgic person! I have someone in my family, but I am a sinner, I have no face to go back, and I don't know if my father and mother are good - the situation is different, but the ending is the same!" Ji Yanxin followed Gu Yuanshan's words and said, if he wants to reminisce about the old, then he will drink, if he wants to drink, then he will drink; if he wants to talk about business, then he will also cooperate.

Having said that, Ji Yanxin knew everything about Yanque Village, his father, and his mother's situation, and he couldn't go back to visit them in person, so he would send someone to inquire about the news every year.

Today, the village has a new look, with low-lying mud-walled houses no longer lining the streets, replaced by brick bungalows or small two-story western-style houses. Every time there is a market, people come and go on the streets, and the river is endless, and it is very lively.

Yanque Village is a place that Ji Yanxin remembers and yearns for, but unfortunately, he can't go back.

"Brother Ma Xuan'er, tell me, what is this person living in the world and fighting for?" Gu Yuanshan didn't know if he drank too much wine or did it on purpose, so he actually began to sigh.

Ji Yanxin chuckled lightly and stared at Gu Yuanshan intently: "Secretary Gu, you are a cultured person, this kind of problem, presumably, you know better than me! If I have to say that I am ugly, I can only say that I think why, that's why!"

"Brother is brother, he always speaks so well!" Gu Yuanshan raised his wine glass and looked directly at Ji Yanxin: "Cheers!"

Ji Yanxin picked up the wine glass and raised it gently, with a crisp 'bang': "Cheers!"

……

Xia Jinzhong was ordered to prepare for the marriage of Zhu and Xiaocui, and ordered people to put up lights in the villa, and the He family's compound handled the marriage, he witnessed it with his own eyes, this time, he wanted his eldest brother to marry his daughter-in-law, the scenery was beautiful, and the pomp was no less than that of the He family.

Zhu Zi saw the courtyard and the villa covered in red and green, and felt very novel, running around very excitedly, and from time to time he caught people and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Young master, aren't you knowingly asking? Aren't everyone busy before and after, all for the purpose of marrying you a daughter-in-law!" After listening to the words of the guys, the pillar scratched his head, and he didn't know why, and said to himself: "What is the purpose of marrying a daughter-in-law?"

The pillar's words caused everyone to laugh, and they leaned back and laughed: "Young master, you will know when the time comes!"

Recently, the pillar had a headache again, and from time to time a few faces popped up in his head, vague, whether it was a man or a woman, and he couldn't see clearly, and whenever he tried to see those faces clearly, his head would buzz and swell as if it was about to explode, and the pain was unbearable.

At the end of the day, the initial sense of novelty was gone, and the pillar was no longer interested in the crowd that was busy shuttling every day, and often sat alone by the fish pond, staring at the water in a daze; occasionally, he would sprinkle a handful of fish food, watching the fish compete for food, and the pillar's eyes inexplicably passed by the sword and sword.

Vaguely, it seems that you can still hear the sound of clanging and striking. Zhu Zi felt in a trance that he seemed to have experienced the scene of the blades meeting, and after trying to recall it, his head began to hurt again, and the feeling of splitting headache was unbearable, and he had to stop thinking.

After that, when the pillar caught the air, he stopped Xia Jinzhong and asked him to tell him about his father Ji Yanxin and his past.

Xia Jinzhong was happy to tell him about the pillar's questioning, especially about everyone being trapped in a desperate valley and it was difficult to get out, and the eldest brother Ji Yanxin jumped into the flood without thinking in order to save him, and the various experiences of the two of them walking through the deep mountains and old forests for several years, he spoke vividly and in great detail.

In Zhuzi's mind, he formed the tall and mighty image of his father Ji Yanxin, and he was secretly glad to have such a proud father, which made him want to dig deeper.

The story is very long, how can it be finished in a while and a half, Xia Jinzhong told it with great interest, but from time to time he was interrupted by trivial things; Zhu Zi listened to it with great satisfaction, and he always remembered in his heart, in his heart, he had a preliminary prototype of his strange father, he felt that his father Ji Yanxin was a hero, and he hoped that he could become a person like him.

Interest decides everything, no matter whether Xia Jinzhong is busy or idle, as long as he sees him, he will indiscriminately pester him and let him continue the unfinished story.

At first, Xia Jinzhong was also moved by the stubbornness of the pillar to break the casserole and ask the end, thinking that this is the best way to bring the father-son relationship between the eldest brother and the pillar closer, the best way;

As a result, Xia Jinzhong began to be afraid of the pillar, always avoiding him, no matter how good the story is, it has to be put after his wedding banquet before continuing to tell, otherwise, if you mess things up, it's not a joke, and when the eldest brother comes back, he can't make a difference.

Between Xia Jinzhong and the pillar, a cat-and-mouse situation was formed, one desperately hiding, the other chasing after him, so that others saw it, only to think that their uncle and nephew were very interesting, like playing a game of hide and seek.

……

Xiaocui was elated every day, shuttling in the yard and house, pointing fingers from time to time, like a hostess. For her, being able to marry into a wealthy family and be a broad wife was unthinkable in the past, but now, she not only dares to think about it, but is about to make her dream come true.

Now, Cui felt that the only thing she needed to do was to keep an eye on the pillar and not let him come into contact with women other than her, and not let him come into contact with everyone and everything that could stimulate his memory recovery.

Xiaocui thought to herself: As long as I am in peace and quiet, I will get married in the church, enter the cave room, and cook raw rice and rice, even if at that time, the pillar will regain its memory, so what? Nothing can be changed! I am already the woman he is marrying, and he can't belong to anyone except me!

Once heard the name of 'Xiao Nuan' shouted out of the pillar's mouth, it became a thorn in Xiao Cui's heart, she was wary and resentful of this person, she really wanted to see it in person, this made the pillar worry, broke his head, and couldn't remember his father and mother, but he never forgot Xiao Nuan.

From time to time, Xiao Cui would think of the name 'Xiao Nuan', and every time she thought of it, it was like a fish in her throat, and she couldn't help but be stunned: What does Xiao Nuan look like? Could it be that the Seven Fairies descended to earth and could hook people's souls?

Xiao Cui doesn't mind that the pillar doesn't understand the love of men and women, in her opinion, such a man is reliable, has no distractions, and will only be good to a person. Xiaocui is very confident, whether he is a pillar or a river, it is impossible to change the first thing he sees when he opens his eyes is her, thinking about it, this is irreplaceable.

Xiao Cui thinks that the woman in the heart of the pillar belongs to her, and his bride is also her, so who else is the hostess of this mansion?

In and out, being called a 'young lady' respectfully, Xiaocui was a little fluttering, she understood for the first time that money and status were so important.

In the past, living on a fishing boat with her grandfather and passing through the fishing village, everyone casually called her 'Xiaocui', which is her name.

Xiaocui never knew what her surname was, let alone who her parents were, whether they were alive or dead, where they were, grandpa refused to say, and the people in the village kept silent, as if it was a big taboo, and saying it would cause trouble.

Now, Xiaocui no longer wants to know who her parents are, because she feels that she has found a good home, in her future life, in her world, only a pillar is enough, only he can give her the happiness she wants most, and only he can give her the glory and wealth at her fingertips.

After living in the villa for more than ten days, Xiaocui deeply realized that the life of the rich is really beyond the reach of the poor. Rich people are born high, with clothes to reach out and food to open their mouths, while poor people, even if their hands are worn out, may not be able to eat and clothe well, let alone eat well and dress well.

……

On this day, an uninvited guest came to the villa, and when Xiaocui walked into the living room with the arm of the pillar, the whole person was stunned, and the person sitting on the sofa in the living room turned out to be He Fangfei, the eldest lady of the He family.

Xiaocui didn't understand, why did the eldest lady of the He family come uninvited, and what is the relationship between the He family and the Ji family? Xiaocui only felt that this eldest lady of the He family, who had a big belly, was simply shameless, and when she arrived at someone else's house, she was still the same as in her own house, with no rules and no distance, and she didn't get up to greet her when she saw the master, and she looked like no one in her eyes.

The pillar stood in place, refusing to go any further, looking at He Fangfei in a daze, no matter how Xiaocui pulled him, he was like a nail under his feet, motionless. After a long time, the pillar raised his hand, scratched his head, and muttered, "Xiao Nuan—Xiao Nuan—"

He Fangfei and Xiao Cui were both taken aback, they didn't know if the pillar was really shouting, or muttering to themselves, Xiao Cui's face was cold, she grabbed the pillar fiercely, and shouted in a low voice: "Pillar, who are you shouting?"

"No—didn't call anyone—" Zhuzi seemed to have just woken up from a dream, rubbed Xiao Cui's aching arm, withdrew his gaze, and looked at Xiao Cui: "I've seen her, what is she doing here?"

Xiaocui was confused, but her heart was a little more steady: "Of course you have seen her, she is the eldest lady of the He family who caused you to overturn the tricycle!"

When Xiaocui spoke, she lost no time in glancing at He Fangfei, He Fangfei seemed to be smiling, but she was thinking in her heart: Zhuzi, you are stupid like this, and you can't forget the former Xiao Nuan, should I be moved?
