Chapter 994: Pavilion Standing
"Stinky boy, I still know that when I came back, I thought you were dead!" Xiao Zhentian stared at Xiao Dong excitedly, slammed his fist on his shoulder, and scolded, "It's okay, right?"
Xiao Dong shrugged his shoulders noncommittally and said, "Grandpa, I think it's not me who wants to see you the most now." β
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be curious.
"Grandpa!" a slightly hoarse and choked voice came from behind. Xiao Zhan walked out, knelt heavily in front of Xiao Zhentian, and said, "My grandson is not filial, so I'm only coming to see grandpa now!"
Xiao Zhentian was shocked, his face was full of consternation, and then excitement.
He held Xiao Zhan with trembling hands and said, "Get up, I know that it is not easy for you, my Xiao family boy, no matter where he goes, he will stand up to the sky!"
Rao is Xiao Zhentian's age, he has experienced too many ups and downs, and many things, if he cares about them in time, he will only take them to heart and not say them. But when he saw his two grandchildren, both standing in front of him, he couldn't help but cry: "My Xiao family ancestors bless you!"
"Big brother!" Xiao Mei walked up, her eyes red.
"Little sister!" Xiao Zhan stepped forward to give a hug, stroked her long hair, and said, "Over the years, you've worked hard for you." β
"As long as the eldest brother is okay, everything is worth it!" Xiao Mei said firmly.
In the hall, there was a thick atmosphere, Hua Xuan coughed lightly, and said, "What, let's go out first." The air in this place is not good, and I am panicking. The old man has suffered during this time. β
"Doctor Hua, let you laugh. Xiao Zhentian wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, reacted, and asked, "What do you mean by going out?" You mean, we can leave here?"
"That's right. Hua Xuan nodded, "You can go back to the Xiao family's compound." β
"It's ....... Hearing this, Xiao Zhentian was even more excited, "What's going on? Is Xiao Dong's grievance whitewashed?"
At the beginning, Xiao Dong was dragged into the water by the impostor and became a murderer in the eyes of everyone, which caused Chu Weinan to take the opportunity to make trouble, not only listing Xiao Dong as a wanted target, but also sealing the entire Xiao family, forcing everyone in the Xiao family to hide.
Now, when I hear that I can go out, I am naturally very excited.
"Anyway, we'll be fine, Chu Weinan won't continue to embarrass us. Xiao Dong said, "Grandpa, let's go home." β
"Okay, go home, let's go home!" Xiao Zhentian nodded heavily.
A group of more than a dozen people, from this hidden place on the eighteenth floor of the basement, took the elevator to the ground.
Breathing in the fresh air on the ground, everyone was very emotional, as if they had held it for several lifetimes, and couldn't help but take a few more breaths.
"Special mother, this hard life has finally come to an end!" Xiao He scolded.
"That's it, they're all about to be suffocated, and Lao Tzu can go out and be happy again!" Jian Wushuang and Rock nodded in unison.
As soon as the words fell, I heard a shout and reprimand: "Happy? Hmph, you kid, you're very happy, are you about to leave me behind?
Hearing this, Jian Wushuang trembled, his face full of disbelief.
When he saw the old face, the whole person froze in place, stunned and speechless.
Xiao Dong patted him on the shoulder with a wicked smile and said, "What's the matter?
"Division...... Master!" Jian Wushuang came back to his senses at this time, thinking that he had seen it wrong, his master, several years ago, had gone out to travel all over the world, and there was no trace at all. This time, I will actually come over with Xiao Dong.
It's unbelievable!
"Do you still know it's me?" Jian Baili said with a straight face, "Look at you kid, I'm not here, you're going wild, aren't you?
"Meet the master!" Jian Wushuang walked up quickly, knelt down on one knee in front of Jian Baili, and said, "Master, I have always kept your words in mind. The swordsmanship has not fallen behind at all, and it has exceeded your expectations. β
"I, with your little ability, can you compare with Xiao Dong?" Jian Baili spat angrily, "I see, you are too carried away, a hundred steps flying sword, Xiao Dong uses it better than you!"
Jian Baili is notoriously strict with his apprentices, which is why this kid's personality is too strange when he first met Jian Wushuang.
If it weren't for Xiao He, I'm afraid he would still be an obsession maniac.
Xiao Dong opened his mouth and said: "Senior, how can I compare with the peerless hundred-step flying sword? β
"Old Jian, I haven't seen you for many years, why did you appear here?" Xiao Zhentian couldn't help but be speechless.
"Old Xiao, it's okay to be separated for seven years?" Jian Baili and Xiao Zhentian obviously knew each other, although the two were not too familiar, they had a good relationship.
"It's okay, it's just that after so many years, where have you been? Why is there no trace at all?" Xiao Zhentian asked strangely.
This is not only his doubt, including the whole of Kyoto, he does not know the trace of Jian Baili.
You must know that Jian Baili was the first person in kendo back then, and his strength in Kyoto was second to none and he became famous all over the world. Later, when he went out to travel all over the world, there was no trace, and many people thought that he had died in a foreign land.
Jian Baili waved his hand and said, "If you don't mention it, it's all a bad thing." However, thanks to Xiao Dong, otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to come back. β
"Master, what have you experienced over the years?" Jian Wushuang couldn't help but ask.
"Stinky boy, is this what you can ask, come back with me and see how I teach you!" Jian Baili glared.
Jian Wushuang pursed his lips and did not dare to speak.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhentian hurriedly smiled and said: "Old Jian, people are still young, you are murderous all day long, be careful when he whips you one day." Wushuang, this kid, is very good, at least Xiao Dong's realm is far worse than him at this age. It's better to get together like this, so why don't you move to the Xiao family's compound, sit down together, and have a meal?"
As soon as Jian Baili wanted to refuse, Jian Wushuang said: "Master, it seems that we have no place to go for the time being, so it is better to ......." β
The corners of Jian Baili's mouth twitched fiercely.
Also, Jian Baili has been away from Kyoto for so many years, and he has long since lost a place to live. In the past, it has always been a wild crane in the clouds, and in order to hone its will, it lives in the slum area.
"I want you to say it!" Jian Baili glared at again and nodded, "Then I'm going to trouble Lao Xiao." β
"Haha, you're welcome, everyone is their own people. Xiao Zhentian laughed, he wished that Jian Baili could go to the Xiao family's compound, so that the relationship between the two families would be a little closer, and it would also be beneficial to the Xiao family.
After all, Jian Baili, the first person in the way of the sword, has extraordinary strength, and with such a master in charge, if he encounters any trouble, he doesn't need to worry too much.
Hua Xuan knew that Xiao Dong and the others were reunited and it was not easy to disturb them, so he immediately arranged a vehicle to let them leave.
Xiao Dong hugged his fist at Hua Xuan, wanting to thank him, but he still stopped, everything was silent!
The Xiao family's compound, everything is as usual, just because of the traces of the years, there is a lot of dust on it, and no one takes care of it, so it looks a little depressed and lonely, only the huge plane tree, still standing tall, like a guardian saint, covering half of the courtyard wall.
"I'm back, I'm finally back!" Xiao Zhentian looked emotional and excited, and pushed open the door.
The heavy dust rushed towards him, making everyone subconsciously sweep away.
It seems that no one has ever been here again. The last time Xiao Dong returned to the Xiao family's compound, he happened to meet a few people who didn't know what to do here, so he taught them a hard lesson. It is estimated that in the future, I have never dared to mess around.
Except for some minor damages, the Xiao family's compound and everything else remained intact.
"Tonight, we will hold a banquet, firstly, to catch the wind and wash the dust for the old sword, and secondly, to celebrate our return and sweep away the bad luck!" Xiao Zhentian said.
Everyone nodded in unison, they were tired of holding it underground in the basement of the Mysterious Incident Investigation Department for months.
However, the nannies and housekeepers in the compound have all left. Xiao Zhentian was about to ask Xiao He to inform them to come back, after all, there was no one to do things, so it was not easy to take care of.
Xiao Mei said: "Grandpa, it's not easy for nannies and housekeepers, since they have escaped, don't call them back, so as not to cause trouble for them." The matter of taking care of the yard will be left to our juniors. β
"Yes, grandpa, we can still do what we can. Shangguan Shiwen hurriedly stepped up and said, "I can cook, and the task of the dinner will be handed over to me." β
"Hahaha, okay, then it's all up to you!" Xiao Zhentian nodded with satisfaction, during this period of time, their relationship was naturally familiar. Shangguan Shiwen, as Xiao Dong's man, is naturally very good Xiao Zhentian, and he can be regarded as the granddaughter-in-law of the Xiao family.
Xiao Mei commanded: "Then it's decided, Shiwen, you and Fan Ji Xuanji, the three of you, prepare for the dinner, Xiao He, you follow, if you need help, just do it, don't be lazy." Others, divide the work to clean the yard. β
Xiao Mei has always been the image of the eldest sister, and she is naturally convincing when she speaks.
Xiao Zhentian and Jian Wushuang found a place to sit down and chatted on the side.
Xiao Dong and the others picked up tools such as brooms and hoes to weed and sweep the floor in front of the courtyard.
Just like when they were teenagers, they didn't do their homework well, and they were severely punished by Xiao Zhentian for weeding on the wall, which is vivid.
Xiao Mei sneered, with a look of satisfaction and happiness.
"Sister, what are you laughing at?" Xiao Dong asked.
"Do you remember, when I was a child, you were the one who was punished most often, and once, the three of us were punished at the same time, and then we couldn't hold it anymore, so we ran away. Xiao Mei smiled, "Later, grandpa was stunned to send a team from the military base to arrest us back, now that I think about it, it's really funny." At that time, I was naΓ―ve and ignorant, and I thought that as long as I ran away, I would never have to come back. Now I know how important a home is ....... β
"Yes, in a flash, so many years have passed. Xiao Zhan also said with emotion, "It's not Dongzi, a stinky boy, who tried some bad ideas to go against grandpa, causing us to be punished together." β
Xiao Dong pursed his lips and said, "It's all on me, you don't think the same thing in your own hearts, it's just that no one dares to say it." β
"You are a monkey who flies through the sky, give you a golden hoop stick, you can stab the sky!" Xiao Mei glanced at her, took a deep breath, and said with a smile, "But, fortunately, time flies, things are not people, but we are still there." β
"That's right, no matter how difficult the process is, we are still there!" Xiao Dong nodded heavily, his requirements are not high, as long as the relatives and people around him are there, it is enough.
The courtyard is full of warmth.
Since Chu Weinan had revoked the wanted arrest of the Xiao family, Xiao Dong and the others returned to the Xiao family's compound without any incident. However, many people passing by suddenly became popular when they saw the Xiao family's compound that had been dusty, and they were curious.
