Chapter 45: House Arrest {Collect}
Perhaps, life is so helpless, even if you have a good idea, you may not be able to implement it.
Zuo Chen is like this now, he has lofty ideals and ambitions, limited to his body, and even more limited to the limitations of family affection.
Now Zuo Chen has a very bitter feeling, because the old man gave an order in the mansion - Zuo Chen is not allowed to step out of Liu's mansion for half a step!
Life is like a year, and it can't explain Zuo Chen's current feelings at all.
Selling charcoal, cutting down and burning charcoal in the southern mountains, Zuo Chen muttered to himself, thinking to himself, he is too much more bitter than selling charcoal, how can a mountain and a mansion be comparable?
Seeing that Zuo Hui and Zuo Rong pulled out the pony again, Zuo Chen wanted to cry, really wanted to cry. Why did I never ride a pony that I had worked so hard to get my hands on? Why are they trying not to let themselves see joy? Why did you try so hard not to make them feel sad?
Zuo Chen misses his grandfather, the grandfather and grandmother in his previous life. How are they now?
When it's cold, who gave them new clothes to keep them warm? What happened to Grandma's asthma getting worse every winter? Who bought her medicine, is it that grandpa is beating her back again?
I am always afraid of choking grandma with dry smoke, is grandpa smoking dry tobacco in the cold courtyard again, is he choking tears from smoke again? Did the grandmother, who was hiding behind the hall door, push open the door again and walked to his grandfather and handed him a handkerchief?
Zuo Chen misses his comrades-in-arms, good brothers who shared life and death in his previous life. Are they still on a mission? Who is covering the retreat for whom? Who is carrying whom on the way home? ……
Zuo Chen cried, and his heart ached with his unbearable thoughts. The uncontrollable longing is like a knife, gently twisted into the chest, and the pain twists and wrenches more when inserted.
Curled up in a small body, squatting alone in the corner, hanging his head on his knees, Zuo Chen was afraid that someone would see his bear-like appearance.
Suppressed crying, his shoulders trembling, and a low groan of pain lingered in his chest. The cat that climbed down from the tree slowly walked to Zuo Chen's side, rubbing his trouser legs with its furry body, it wanted to comfort and comfort this little master, bad people would not always bully him.
Feeling the warmth at his ankles, the intimate feeling spread quickly, and Zuo Chen felt a lot more comfortable in his heart. Holding the cat in his arms, he got up and walked towards the old man's house. Zuo Chen is going to talk to his grandfather.
Looking at the red and swollen eye circles of his dearest grandson, the old man's heart was like being soaked in a vinegar vat, and it was not a taste of sourness.
The old man is wondering, did he do something wrong by putting Zuo Chen under house arrest? Isn't it cruel to treat a child like this?
"You kid ......, such a big heart will cry?" The old man originally came to see his grandson pitiful, and wanted to say something to comfort him, but when the words came to his mouth, he somehow changed his taste.
The old man frowned, and said in his heart, could it be that when he sees Zuo Chen now, he is really as nervous as if he is facing a great enemy?
"Grandpa, you put me in captivity like this, what about my plan?" Zuo Chen said straightforwardly. Because he had considered obstruction, considered possible failure, but had not considered the variables of house arrest, he had no patience to hide his anxiety.
"Is your plan more important than the entire Liu family? When you become an adult, the fief of the second-class title, the emperor will naturally allocate it to you, and reward you with a lifetime of food and clothing, are you still not satisfied? "It's rare, the old man didn't shout, but said in a peaceful tone.
With the old man's mind, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and since the emperor has rewarded the title, it is the wealth of a lifetime. Isn't it great that even if the grandson is a white ding, he doesn't have to work hard day and night?
"I have a world in my chest, why do I have to live in his enclosure. Is it wrong to say, 'A gentleman does not eat what he eats'? Could it be that 'there will be a time when the wind and waves will be long, and the clouds will sail into the sea' is also a lie? Zuo Chen didn't give an inch, and fought with reason.
Zuo Chen knew that the old man's conservative thinking was for stability. However, Zuo Chen thought that it was not a wrong thing to make his family happier and healthier. What's more, what if the emperor is unhappy one day? What should I do if I remove your title and receive your reward?
"If you ......, you will harm the entire Liu family, do you know?" The old man finally couldn't contain the anger in his heart, and began to shout loudly again.
Radical and conservative, can no longer talk calmly.
Zuo Chen understood that it would be useless to talk about it any longer. The contradictions between the grandparents and grandchildren have erupted, and there is no way to resolve the existing stalemate without substantive measures, and it is useless to talk too much, which will only make the two sides stick to their positions even more.
"Grandpa, I'm not here to quarrel with you, I'll stay in the house quietly. But even if you imprison my body, can you still imprison my mind? "Zuo Chen knows filial piety and will not be as loud as the old man. The immature voice was still full of power, like a hammer hitting the old man's heart.
The old man hid his trembling hands under the bookcase, he was worried that Zuo Chen would see his unbearableness. I was even more worried about losing his majesty as an elder in Zuo Chen's heart. In this short period of time, when he wanted to organize a concise language to refute Zuo Chen, he saw Zuo Chen saluting him.
"Grandpa, the grandson stepped back first, which made you unhappy, and the grandson apologized to you." After Zuo Chen, who was already kneeling on the ground, finished speaking, he kowtowed three times like garlic, and his heart was shocked for a while.
Zuo Chen got up, saw that the old man with a sluggish face was speechless, turned around and walked out of the study.
The old man watched Zuo Chen walk away in a daze, his brain seemed to stop thinking, there was no movement, only the necessary breath remained. The old man found that Zuo Chen's politeness was meaningless, not as simple as yin and yang, but an obvious ideological parting of ways.
Suddenly, the old man felt very aggrieved, and he had paid a lot for his family, but he didn't understand the grievances for his family. The old man was very sad, why was his favorite and most beloved grandson treating himself like this.
The old man's sad expression did not fall into Zuo Chen's eyes, but he was hesitantly walked into the study of the old lady, and he saw it clearly. The two old men looked at each other, smiled bitterly, shook their heads at each other and said nothing.
Until sunset, Zuo Chen was on the way to the stable, and waited for Zuo Rong with a ruddy face.
"Zuo Chen, what's wrong with the old man, I won't let you go out of the house for half a step." Zuo Rong asked, spewing hot air from his mouth.
"That's not something you can know, you ask less, there is your benefit." Zuo Chen glanced at Zuo Rong and said stupidly.
Zuo Rong frowned and said, "So serious? No wonder! As he spoke, he nodded his head, looking deeply approving, as if he really understood.
Not in the mood to pay attention to his pretended profound posture, Zuo Chen took a deep breath and said, "Discuss something with you, you have to help me in the future." ”
"It's okay with the old man, right? The rest is easy to discuss, as long as there is nothing to do with the old man, I will definitely promise you. Zuo Rong patted his chest and beat the package ticket.
"Don't worry, I'm going to hurt you? Let's go, go back to dinner. Zuo Chen said and took Zuo Rong's hand.
"Why don't you tell me what to do for you?" Zuo Rong asked.
Zuo Chen pretended to be relaxed and said: "It's not a matter of urgency and difficulty, what are you nervous about?" I'll tell you then. ”
"You're really, always mysterious." Zuo Rong had a depressed look on his face, although he was a few years older than Zuo Chen, he always had no way to deal with him.
Zuo Chen promised the old man to stay in the mansion peacefully, but he didn't say that he wouldn't continue his plan. The three hundred tiger ben left by the big face plate to himself belong to an external force after all, not to mention whether he is loyal to himself or not, but to say that he himself must also prepare a killing weapon that can save his life.
Eliminated stone and stone flow yellow are sold in many medical centers. Zuo Chen was in Wang Xingke's medical hall in Haiyang City, and he took a closer look, it was saltpeter and sulfur.
Zuo Chen didn't know that they could be used in medicine, but he knew that they were the main components of gunpowder. In order not to attract the attention of the old man and Wang Fatzi, he wanted to buy it in Fengxiang through Zuo Rong, just to be able to hide this secret.
Thinking about the power of gunpowder and the solid feeling of having a gun in his hand, Zuo Chen knew that he now relied heavily on weapons to bring him a sense of security.
In the next few years, Zuo Chen will have a lot to do, studying, practicing martial arts, manufacturing weapons and goods, and it will definitely be difficult to go step by step without personal freedom. But he doesn't care about these hardships, those who have aspirations are thousands of miles away, how can a Liu Mansion bury a lot of blood, as well as that lofty ideals and ambitions.
