Chapter 21
"Uncle Hu, is that you?" Chu Liuxiang heard the little boy speak.
Hu Tiehua glared at Chu Liuxiang again, and walked over one step ahead of him. "Little Flower...... Seven children, how are you feeling today? ”
"Uncle Yu's medicine is very useful, my head doesn't hurt anymore." Hua Manlou tilted his head, and the gauze used to cover his eyes flickered, and his tone was a little uncertain, "Uncle Ji is here too." ”
"Well, I'm here." Ji Bingyan spoke out to show her sense of existence.
Hua Manlou smiled, very happy, "I already remember your footsteps." ”
Hu Tiehua's nose was sour, and she almost shed tears. Glancing at Chu Liuxiang, who was already stunned, the fire that had just fallen suddenly rose again.
"Lao Ji, this is ......" Chu Liuxiang's clever tongue was no longer useful at this time, "This is ......"
Chu Liuxiang, who didn't even have plans to start a family, was really shocked by the sudden appearance of a child who was obviously related by blood in front of him.
"His surname is Hua." Ji Bingyan was concise and to the point.
It's not that Ji Bingyan doesn't want to say more, but they didn't ask other useful clues except for the life experience that Hua Manlou said on the day he just woke up, which had been confirmed to be non-existent. And when Yusheng saw Hua Manlou's painful expression later, he directly forbade them to ask again, and what they knew now was only their own guess.
Although, that speculation is nine out of ten true.
Ji Bingyan could still quietly give Chu Liuxiang a chance to explain, Hu Tiehua directly decided that Chu Liuxiang was an irresponsible bastard who ran away after eating, the more he liked Hua Manlou, the more he felt sorry for what he had suffered, and the more angry he was with Chu Liuxiang.
However, although Hu Tiehua has always given the impression of being rude and reckless, he restrained himself at this time and did not say anything that should not be said in front of Hua Manlou.
"What are you doing standing in the yard?" Yusheng walked out of the house with a bowl of freshly fried medicine, and was not surprised to see Chu Liuxiang, just nodded and said hello.
"Uncle Jade." Hua Manlou followed the sound and walked a few steps, because his eyes couldn't see, these steps were very careful.
"The medicine is decoctioned, drink it while it's hot." Yusheng held the bowl in one hand and pressed Hua Manlou's shoulder with the other, pressing him back on the chair.
Hua Manlou obediently stretched out his hand, waited until Yusheng put the bowl in his hand, tested the temperature, held his breath, and drank it all in one go. Before I had time to feel the bitterness in my mouth, a piece of candied fruit was stuffed into my mouth, sweet and sour, driving away the bitterness.
"Good." Yusheng pinched his bloodless cheeks, "I'll take you back to the room, and the medicine will come up in a while, just sleep directly on the bed." ”
Chu Liuxiang watched Yusheng take the little boy surnamed Hua back to the room holding hands, and was speechless for a long time. Not only him, but even the three girls who were one step behind him looked stunned. It was only when the door was closed that the child could not be seen at all that they came back to their senses.
"If you have anything to say, I'll ask later, don't disturb the children's rest here." Ji Bingyan waved his hand and took the lead in leaving the courtyard.
No one objected, and their curiosity was about to explode.
"Brother Chu, that's ...... Is that your child? Song Tian'er, who was the most outspoken, couldn't help but speak first, and the other two girls also stared at Chu Liuxiang tightly, attaching great importance to this answer.
Chu Liuxiang opened her mouth and wanted to say no. But I still don't know if it's or not, and even he can't say it.
Hu Tiehua began to snort coldly again, "Old bedbug, are you still not a man?" Don't you even dare to recognize your own children? ”
Hu Tiehua's sneer calmed Chu Liuxiang instead, he touched his nose and smiled bitterly, "You gave me such a big surprise as soon as I came, didn't anyone explain it to me from beginning to end?" ”
"You only tell me that Xiaohua doesn't look like you?" Hu Tiehua asked.
"Extremely similar." Chu Liuxiang didn't deny this, maybe it was the reason for the illness, the child looked a little pale and sickly, but this couldn't hide anything. He believed that not only himself, but even Lao Hu and Lao Ji had discovered that the child and himself were carved out of the same mold when they were young.
"Then you say, is there any other possibility for such an appearance besides father, son and brother?" Hu Tiehua continued to ask.
Chu Liuxiang smiled bitterly. If you meet someone who is similar, as long as you are not deliberately disguised, it is common for you to know each other and call you brothers, and even more, it is not uncommon to find that each other is relatives who have turned eighteen bends. Chu Liuxiang didn't feel that he had room for denial, because even he couldn't guarantee that no confidante had given birth to a child without telling him for many years.
Su Rongrong saw Chu Liuxiang's uncertainty, and she felt uncomfortable. Among the three daughters, Su Rongrong is the one who has the deepest affection for Chu Liuxiang, Li Hong-sleeve and Song Tianer have admired Wuhua, only Su Rongrong, from beginning to end, is Chu Liuxiang in her heart. Knowing that he is romantic, he also knows that he will not settle down for any woman, but if he has a child...... No matter who it is, from now on, that woman's position in Chu Liuxiang's heart will definitely be different. Su Rongrong didn't know what would happen in the future, seeing that Chu Liuxiang didn't speak, she couldn't hold back the sourness in her heart, and she changed the topic very understandingly:
"I saw that the kid had a strip of cloth over his eyes, but he was injured?"
"His eyes were blinded by the enemy." Ji Bingyan said coldly. "Yusheng has some external ointment, although it can't restore his sight, it can also ensure that it doesn't get worse."
Chu Liuxiang's face suddenly became very ugly.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
When Hu Tiehua told Chu Liuxiang about Ji Bingyan's speculation, the atmosphere between Yusheng and Hua Manlou was very good.
Yusheng once told Wuhua that it was not a joke that he was good at looking, and Hua Manlou's physiognomy seemed to him to be unmatched. Anyway, he doesn't belong at the moment, and Yusheng is very happy to add a lucky boy to himself. Speaking of which, he had to dislike Chu Liuxiang, and with only a gap in his eyes, that guy turned himself into a fortune boy.
For Hua Manlou, it seems that he has really encountered a strange thing like watching chess, and now by his side, aren't they those who have become legends? Although he didn't understand why he was not experiencing a thousand years of change in the world in the cave, but a hundred years ago.
A hundred years ago, it seemed that the aura of the world had accumulated together and exploded together, not only the romantic legend like the thief Chu Liuxiang who was honored on the altar, but also the abandoned disciples who were worshiped by thousands of people after his death, and finally returned to the relics by Shaolin, and there was also a jade sheng that seemed to have reached the peak of martial arts, directly shattering the void and picking up the cloud ladder to the Nine Heavens.
These three men became indelible symbols of that era, and no one has been able to take away their glory a hundred years later.
And now, it is Wuhua who saved himself from the desert, Yusheng who healed himself, and some people say that he looks like Chu Liuxiang.
The little boy Hua Manlou lay on the bed honestly, listened to the movement of the bed curtain being put down, and slowly fell asleep.
In the dream, his eyes could still see, and his family was still around, as if nothing had changed.
