Chapter 399: Grief Doesn't Change Anything
It's all because of him.
"Grandpa, fifth uncle, he ......," Xiao Zheng's voice trembled.
Xiao Zheng was not afraid of being scolded by Old Man Xiao, but he was afraid that Old Man Xiao would not be able to bear this heavy blow, after all, he was already an old man in his last years.
What's more, Xiao Wenyuan once told Xiao Zheng that Old Man Xiao was running out of time.
"I hear you. Old Man Xiao took a deep breath and said to Xiao Zhengdao.
Xiao Zheng said with tears in his eyes: "Grandpa, the fifth uncle died because of me, if it weren't for me, ......"
Before Xiao Zheng finished speaking, he was interrupted by Old Man Xiao and said, "Needless to say, I know everything." ”
Old Man Xiao's voice was very calm, and it was calm and uneasy.
"How is your situation?" Old Man Xiao didn't ask how Xiao Wenyuan died, nor did he ask who killed him, but asked Xiao Zheng with concern.
"I'm just a skin injury, but it's ......" Xiao Zheng said guiltily to Old Man Xiao.
Old Man Xiao's concerned look made Xiao Zheng feel even more sad and guilty in his heart, and he hoped that Old Man Xiao could scold him, but Old Man Xiao didn't do this, but cared about his grandson first as soon as possible.
"Your fifth uncle did the right thing, and I am proud of him. Then Old Man Xiao stretched out his hand and gently put it on Xiao Zheng's shoulder and said, "He is your fifth uncle, he should bear it for you, and you don't have to blame yourself too much." ”
"Grandpa, how can I not blame myself, that's the fifth uncle!" Xiao Zheng wiped away his tears and said.
Old Man Xiao sighed when he heard this, Xiao Zheng's heart hurts, why doesn't his heart hurt?
Xiao Wenyuan is his biological son, he has lost a Xiao Zhicheng, and now he has lost another Xiao Wenyuan, who lost a son in his old age, who can understand such pain, who can understand it?
But even if Old Man Xiao's heart hurts no matter how painful it is, he won't reveal it in the slightest, he knows that if he loses his temper a little, Xiao Zhengxin will feel even more guilty.
He now has war syndrome, and if there is Xiao Wenyuan's psychological shadow again, it will have a great impact on Xiao Zheng's future life.
He has lost Xiao Wenyuan, of course, he doesn't want to live in the shadows for the rest of his life because of Xiao Zheng, who is burdened with heavy psychological pressure.
Then Old Man Xiao looked abrupt, and said solemnly to Xiao Zhengyi: "Xiao Zheng, you are the Xiao family, today you have to remember for me, no matter what happens, no matter what fate takes away, you can't compromise, you can't be discouraged, you can't give up on yourself, you have to be open-minded, you have to face life with a smile, understand?"
Xiao Zheng lowered his head and said with a disappointed expression: "I want to do this too, but I can't do it, as long as I think that the fifth uncle died because of me, my heart hurts like a knife, and the person I would rather die is my ......"
"Smack!"
At this time, Old Man Xiao suddenly slapped Xiao Zheng hard, and the crisp sound was particularly harsh in the ward.
"Wen Yuan is your fifth uncle, he died in front of you, and it is unrealistic to say that you will not grieve. But you have to turn your grief into strength, come out of the shadows, and cheer up, do you understand? The Xiao family has never been a bad breed or a coward!"
Song Xiyue and the others didn't know when they walked out of the ward, and for a while, only Xiao Zheng and Old Man Xiao's grandson were left in the ward.
Then Old Man Xiao said a little breathlessly: "I know your heartache, but is the heartache useful? If you have heartache, will your fifth uncle be able to come back to life? Only your heartache, am I not heartbroken? But the result can no longer be changed, life has to go on, if you give up on yourself, are you right about your fifth uncle? Then his death will be worthless, understand?!"
Hearing Old Man Xiao's words, Xiao Zheng had a struggling and tangled expression on his face, and he could see that he was trying to get himself out of the shadows.
Seeing that Xiao Zheng listened to his words, Old Man Xiao said in a slightly slower tone: "You have to cheer up Lao Tzu, you must know that you are the future head of the family, don't let Lao Tzu down, let alone let your fifth uncle down." Do you know how sad you are now, how sad Yueyue and those little girls are? Have you ever thought about it, if you keep being decadent like this, what will happen to them? In front of them, you are the mountain, and your mountain will collapse first, what do you let them do? The reason why they like you is because you have responsibility, and men can't retreat when they are in difficulty, you know?"
Although Xiao Zheng didn't speak, he clenched his fists hard, and he could see that he was struggling with himself, trying to break free from Baidu's experience.
Seeing this, Old Man Xiao didn't speak again, so he treated him quietly, hoping that he could cheer up as soon as possible.
After a while, Old Man Xiao sighed and said, "Won't I be heartbroken when your fifth uncle dies? Won't I be sad? But is it useful to be sad? Can you survive if you are sad? I have lost your father, and now I have lost Wenyuan, am I not like to survive? Grief will only make life worse." Xiao Zheng, I have lost my two best sons, and now I don't want to lose you again. I'm already old, I'm already half-cut into the ground, and I don't want the white-haired man to send the black-haired man away, and then see his grandson give up on himself, and then become a coward, a coward who doesn't dare to face anything. ”
Hearing Master Xiao's teaching, Xiao Zheng's hands began to tremble, and even his body trembled.
After a long while, Xiao Zhengcai finally spoke: "Grandpa, don't worry, I won't be decadent, I will definitely avenge the fifth uncle!"
Then Xiao Zheng's eyes flashed with a murderous aura that penetrated the bones!
At this time, Xiao Zheng's hands were tightly clasped together, at this moment, the murderous aura towards Brother Dog in his heart became even stronger, it was he who killed his brother, it was he who killed his fifth uncle, all of this has to be repaid by blood!
Old man Xiao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, he was afraid that Xiao Zheng would give up on himself because of Xiao Wenyuan's death, and now Xiao Zheng has regained his fighting spirit, which makes the first son's sad mood a little relieved.
At this moment, even if Old Man Xiao dies now, he can look at it, he knows that his original domineering Xiao Zheng is back again, which fearless Xiao Zheng is back again!
"Well, this is still like this, this is Zhicheng's son, my grandson of Xiao Mad!" said Old Man Xiao with a laugh.
But at this time, the old man was laughing with tears.
Even if the grandson is excellent, it is difficult to hide the pain of Lao Tzu's loss of his son.
Xiao Zheng saw Old Man Xiao's smile with tears, and his heart couldn't help but feel sour.
Xiao Zheng stared at Old Man Xiao with red eyes, held his big hand that had withered, and said in a hoarse voice: "Grandpa, don't worry, the fifth uncle will definitely not die in vain! I will definitely take Brother Dog's head to pay tribute to Fifth Uncle!"
After hearing Xiao Zheng's words, Old Man Xiao stretched out his hand and touched Xiao Zheng's head, and said softly with tears in his eyes: "Silly boy, if you want to avenge your fifth uncle, I won't stop you, and I will give you great help, but I don't want you to be carried away by hatred." Hatred cannot be lost, but I hope you must face it calmly, after all, you still have a long way to go, and I don't want you to ruin yourself because of impulsiveness. ”
Seeing how old Lao Tzu was at that moment, the tears in Xiao Zheng's eyes couldn't help but burst out of his eyes.
Then Xiao Zheng slowly leaned his head into Old Man Xiao's arms.
Song Xiyue and the others were in a hurry outside, they were worried about both Old Man Xiao and Xiao Zheng.
But because it was rare to have the opportunity for the grandparents to be alone, although they were very apprehensive, none of them entered the house.
"Don't worry, they'll be fine. Murong Yuan comforted Song Xiyue and the others.
Song Xiyue, who was in a hurry, didn't care about the wording of her words, and said in a daze: "How do you know it's okay, what if grandpa can't bear it, and the fifth uncle is still ......"
Murong Yuan said very confidently: "I had the same idea as you at the time, I was afraid that Old Man Xiao would not be able to withstand this blow, but now I find that we all underestimate Old Man Xiao, he is far stronger and stronger than we imagined!"
Originally, he thought that the powerful Xiao Lao would be furious immediately after hearing the news of Xiao Wenyuan's death, and then organize people to take revenge, but Old Man Xiao did not do this, he was not carried away by hatred, he was very calm, and he was so calm that people were afraid.
But composure is not yielding, Murong Yuan knows that the more this is the case, the more it shows the old man's determination to fight the enemy endlessly.
Xiao Zhicheng caused so much trouble and provoked so many enemies back then, Old Man Xiao desperately saved his son's life, and now Xiao Wenyuan was killed like this, how could Old Man Xiao stop here? !
Although Murong Yuan couldn't guess Old Man Xiao's thoughts, he knew that someone would definitely be unlucky, and someone would definitely come to Xiao Wenyuan's funeral!
"Is grandpa really going to be fine?" Song Xiyue still couldn't believe it and asked again.
Murong Yuan nodded lightly and said, "Let's go to practice, after all, you have had little contact with Xiao Lao, and you don't know Xiao Lao very well." He is so old, what kind of wind and waves have he never seen? Not to mention far away, let's talk about Xiao Zheng's father Xiao Zhicheng, his expectations for Xiao Zhicheng are far beyond Xiao Wenyuan's, but so what? Lao Tzu's grief is certain, but didn't that also knock down the old man?"
"Don't say anything else, just say that your father-in-law Xiao Zhicheng, do you think Old Man Xiao has anything to do?"
Hearing Murong Yuan say this, Song Xiyue couldn't help but nodded.
This is very reasonable, and it is very convincing to Song Xiyue.
Then Murong Yuan said meaningfully: "But no matter how you say it, you are also an old man, so I will accompany him more in the future." The old man is not afraid of pain, but he is afraid of loneliness. ”
Song Xiyue didn't fully understand Murong Yuan's words, so she naturally nodded and said, "Well, I'll take care of grandpa." ”
"Okay, then you can wait here for a while, I'll go see Xiao Jingteng. A smile appeared on Murong Yuan's face.
Now Xiao Jingteng doesn't know Xiao Wenyuan's death, and no one dares to tell him, after all, Xiao Jingteng has just woken up, and he has not been completely out of the danger period.
And it is estimated that if it is not done well, the old man will not be able to stand such a double blow.
Look back......
They didn't want to see the Xiao family lose three generations at once.
"I'll go too. After hearing Murong Yuan's words, Song Xiyue immediately spoke.
"Let's not wait, let's go see Xiao Jingteng together. When Du Yan heard this, she immediately said.
Murong Yuan nodded, and then advised: "Okay, then let's go and have a look together, but wait for Fang Ugly to say it in front." Before you go, you must adjust your facial expressions, and if your acting skills are not in place, it is best not to go, and be careful to let Xiao Jingteng see the clues. ”
After hearing Murong Yuan's words, the women took a deep breath and adjusted their mood.
They knew that Murong Yuan was well-intentioned, after all, when Xiao Wenyuan came, Xiao Jingteng was already in a coma, and he didn't know Xiao Wenyuan's arrival at all, if no one told Xiao Jingteng, he couldn't have known the news that Xiao Wenyuan was dead.
Seeing that Song Xiyue and the others had smiles on their faces, Murong Yuan made an OK gesture, and then walked towards Xiao Jingteng's ward with several beauties.
At this moment, Xiao Jingteng was lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling in a daze.
After hearing the footsteps, he immediately turned his head to look at the door, and when he saw Murong Yuan, Song Xiyue and the others, Xiao Jingteng's pale face barely squeezed out a smile: "Why are you all here, Xiao Zheng?"
Murong Yuan joked: "Xiao Zheng has something to do, and he will come in a while." You really can't beat Xiaoqiang, you haven't died like this?!It's really a scourge to live for 10,000 years, this time I can believe it. ”
Afraid that Xiao Jingteng would pursue Xiao Zheng's topic more, Murong Yuan immediately diverted the topic and said jokingly.
"Murong Yuan, why did I get a scourge, tell me who I am?" Xiao Jingteng said with some unhappiness when he heard this.
Of course, Murong Yuan couldn't deal with him at this time, he smiled and said: "You may not know what kind of injury you have, let me tell you, which Sa Ling stabbed two ribs and ran through your back, and Sa Ling can be said to be grazing your heart, of course, if your heart is not a little long, you are probably already hanging, or Sa Ling is tilting a little bit, destroying the blood vessels of your internal organs, you should be drinking tea with Lord Yama to discuss life." ”
When Xiao Jingteng heard this, he said a little proudly: "It is estimated that Lord Yama is afraid that I will go down and harm his daughter, so it is best to send me back to my hometown." ”
"This can be there. Murong Yuan said to Xiao Jingteng very seriously.
But after all, Xiao is his brother, how could Xiao Jingteng not ask, so after a few words of amusement, Xiao Jingteng asked again: "What can Xiao Zheng do? Is he also injured?"
"Lying next door to you. Murong Yuan said lightly.
Hearing him say this, Murong Yuan's mind moved, and he immediately followed him and said, "Yes, and the injury is not light, just after the operation, I will lie next to you." ”
Xiao Jingteng was a little surprised and said, "Damn, won't he?!He shouldn't be like this." Although I can't fiddle with that little devil, it should be a piece of cake for him, right?"
Murong Yuan could only continue to make up: "Last night, the little devil was afraid that you weren't dead, so he wanted to come over and make up for it, but Xiao Zheng was accidentally stabbed in order to protect you." ”
"This is definitely a brother, not a brother, you must not work so hard. Xiao Jingteng said, his body also moved, but this time, as if he had touched the wound on his body, he couldn't help but gasp.
Song Xiyue hurriedly asked with concern, "Cousin, are you okay?"
Xiao Jingteng hurriedly said: "It's okay, the ghost gate is here, what is this pain." Brother and sister, you go and call the doctor for me, I want to live in a ward with Xiao Zheng, and I will suffocate to death if I live in a room by myself. ”
"This ......," Song Xiyue's face showed an embarrassed expression.
"What's wrong, there's a problem?"
"Oh, that's not it, it's just ......" It's just been a long time, and Song Xiyue didn't make up a reason.
At this time, Murong Yuan said in a hurry: "You are the hospital, which is run by your family? You are a seriously ill patient, and now strictly speaking, you are not out of the danger period, and you have to be observed for a few more days, how can you let you live with Xiao Zheng?"
And at this moment, in Xiao Zheng's ward, Xiao Zheng has regained his usual senses, although there is still pain in his heart, but Old Man Xiao's words made Xiao Zheng suddenly. At this time, Xiao Zheng suddenly felt a burst of clarity in his brain, and in an instant he felt as if something was thorough, and the turbidity that was originally in his brain also disappeared at this time.
Xiao Zheng, who had fully recovered, asked Old Man Xiao with clear eyes: "Old man, Brother Dog wants to rob the purple pupil jade left to me by Song Meng, but the fifth uncle swears to die and won't let me give it to him, there is a big secret in it, but when the fifth uncle tells the secret, he will ...... Grandpa, do you know what secrets are in the Purple Pupil Jade?" Xiao Zheng asked Old Man Xiao.
"Purple Pupil Jade?" Old Man Xiao's brows furrowed.
Xiao Zheng nodded: "Yes, the purple pupil jade is in my talk." The fifth uncle said that even if it was destroyed, he couldn't let Brother Dog get it, and I had already given this thing to Brother Dog, but the fifth uncle desperately snatched it from his hand, which made him ......" Xiao Zheng didn't say any more, but looked up at the ceiling.
"I remember Wen Yuan told me about the Purple Pupil Jade before, and he said that it was a key to the mausoleum. Old Man Xiao suddenly said: "I remember, this is the key to open the tomb of King Han!"
Xiao Zheng asked: "I know this, in addition to this, the fifth uncle seems to have other secrets, do you know?"
Old Man Xiao smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know about this, I remember that your fifth uncle told me before, but the interval was too long, I can't remember clearly." ”
Xiao Zheng's face showed a disappointed expression, originally he thought that Old Man Xiao would be able to know the secret, but now it seems that he doesn't know either.
Now it seems that he can only contact Randy and ask her if he has found out what the secret is.
Then Old Man Xiao said: "But since your fifth uncle has to protect the purple pupil jade with his life, it must be quite important, so you have to take good care of it." ”
At the same time, Old Man Xiao couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this stupid son actually lost his life for the sake of the purple pupil jade, is it worth it?
Although in the eyes of Old Man Xiao, no matter how precious the treasure is, it is not as valuable as his son's life. But he still understands Xiao Wenyuan's actions very well. After all, everyone has their own persistence and what they want to protect, maybe the purple pupil jade is really important, so Xiao Wenyuan would rather lose his life than let Brother Dog get it.
As long as he thinks it's worth it, it's worth it!
"I know. Xiao Zheng said to Old Man Xiao with some emotion.
Then, Xiao Zheng thought of the male uncle who suddenly appeared.
Who the hell is this uncle?
Why would he help himself?
Although he is not Brother Dog's opponent, Xiao Zheng can feel that he and his level should be about the same, and the two can be said to be on par.
A master of this level is not a native dog pheasant that can be encountered casually.
It is said that a master of this level should have an impression of him, but his cognition of this type of male uncle is blank.
But then Xiao Zheng's mind couldn't help but think of which man with a mask helped him last night, who was he?
At this moment, as soon as the door opened, Murong Yuan came in.
"Xiao Lao. Murong Yuan walked up to Old Man Xiao and said respectfully.
Old Man Xiao nodded and said, "You have something to talk about, right?"
"Something," Murong Yuan touched his nose and said with some embarrassment.
"Okay, let's talk, I'll go see Jing Teng. As Old Man Xiao spoke, he was about to get up.
Seeing this, Murong Yuan hurriedly opened his mouth to stop him and said, "Old Xiao, you don't have to go out, I still need to ask you about the matter." ”
After hearing Murong Yuan's words, Old Man Xiao glanced at Murong Yuan suspiciously, and sat next to the hospital bed again.
"Murong Yuan, what the hell is going on?" Xiao Zheng said softly.
"Something about Brother Dog. ”
"Brother Dog!" The expression on Xiao Zheng's face changed suddenly, and his teeth clucked at this moment.
Murong Yuan nodded and said, "Well, Du Yan and the others also met Brother Dog last night......"
Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Zheng interrupted without hesitation: "Impossible! Brother Dog is here with me, how could Du Yan and the others meet Brother Dog?"
Murong Yuan guessed that he would say this, so he continued calmly: "I, like you, don't believe that this is true, but the facts tell me that it is true, because I fought with that dog brother with my own hands, and Huyan Wanzhong, the two joined forces. ”
Then Murong Yuan looked at Xiao Zheng again and said, "Do you remember the last time you were in the Sun family?
"Could it really be that there are really two dog brothers?!" Xiao Zheng asked Murong Yuan in shock.
Murong Yuan nodded and said, "I think we may have walked into a misunderstanding, Brother Dog is not just one, it should be that there are several leaders in this organization, and these leaders are all called Brother Dog, this is very likely!"
Then Murong Yuan said the most important sentence: "And fortunately and excitingly, the dog brother who attacked Du Yan and them was killed by me and Huyan's seniors!"
Because he wanted to protect Du Yan's hole card, Murong Yuan did not mention Du Yan as he said at the beginning.
