The main house of the You family is calm and silent.

In the dimly lit room, incense fills the room.

The silence of the room was broken by a sound outside, and the door was slowly pushed open from the outside, and the old man on the soft couch in the room opened his heavy eyes when he heard this, and when he saw someone coming, he struggled to get up and sit up. The maid on the side hurriedly took the pillow and put it behind him and helped him sit down.

"Bowen, Cheng'er, you're here!" There was a hint of a smile in the old man's weak voice, but as soon as he finished speaking, he coughed violently, as if he were about to cough out his lungs.

"Father!" You Cheng cried out worriedly, walked quickly to the soft couch and sat down, caressing his chest for him.

"Nothing, nothing." The old man smiled weakly, his mouth said that there was nothing to do, but there was a faint hint of death on his face, which made people worry.

Seeing this scene, You Bowen looked at the maid on the side, his face turned pale, and he asked in a deep voice, "How is the old lady doing?" Is it getting better? ”

When the maid heard this, she did not answer, but turned her head to look at the old man, as if she did not dare to speak.

"Well, if you want to know my condition, ask me directly, and watch her do something." The old man sighed, turned to the maid and said, "Go down!" ”

Seeing the weakness of the old man, You Bowen sighed, a month ago, his father was still fine.

A month ago, after the bones of the head of the Lin family and the cargo ship appeared on the shore of Yancheng Port, the old lady of the You family immediately fell seriously ill and has not been well since. The doctor said that he had a heart disease, and that the heart disease had to be treated by heart medicine. But the heart medicine is hard to find, and the old lady's heart disease can only be dragged like this, day after day.

You Bowen knows his father's temper, and it is useless to say more, looking at his father's current situation, I am afraid that his condition has not improved, but has worsened. He walked over to the table and sat down, sipping his stuffy tea and being silent.

Seeing this, You Cheng wanted to speak again and again, and finally fell silent, quietly smoothing his father's chest.

"Say whatever you want! While I can still answer you now, if you don't ask now, I'm afraid it will be ...... in a few days."

"Father!" You Cheng interrupted Old Lady You's words, and his heart was a little sour.

Old lady You smiled instead, patted You Cheng, and comforted: "What are you afraid of, life and death are fateful, why bother to be happy in life and sad in death?" Learn to look away, O you. ”

You Bowen didn't like his father's explanation, as if he was leaving something behind, which was boring. He changed the subject, and he didn't procrastinate, and said loudly: "Father, we want to know what happened at sea twenty years ago? "For so many years, my father never mentioned this matter, and they knew that he didn't like it, so they never asked, but now, this matter has to be figured out.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room instantly cooled down. Old lady You had a gloomy face, was silent for a while, and said forcefully: "No matter what happened twenty years ago, in short, our You family owes the Lin family, and the marriage between the You family and the Lin family is not negotiable, you go back!" With that, he turned around and lay down, closed his eyes and rested, ignoring the two of them no more.

You Bowen and You Cheng glanced at each other, with a deep helplessness in their eyes. If they don't tell them what happened, they are afraid that their father will drive them out.

After a moment of silence, You Cheng tentatively spoke: "Father, if it is ......"

"What if?" The old lady's eyes were slightly closed, and she said quite carelessly.

"If so, the head of the Lin family...... If you don't die, what will happen? ”

"Then ......" Old Lady You suddenly paused, and then sat up suddenly, his face full of disbelief, "How can he not be dead, if he is still here, then whose bones are on the ship a few days ago?" Where did the ship come from? The more he spoke, the more agitated he became, his breath became rapid, and he was already a little disordered.

"Father, don't worry, let's not talk about it, don't talk about it." You Cheng hurriedly stroked his back and didn't mention it anymore.

After coming out of the room, You Cheng exhaled deeply and said to You Bowen: "Big brother, what should I do now?" Father didn't say anything, we didn't get any information. ”

You Bowen also had a difficult expression, he looked back at the closed door, and said helplessly: "Go to your second brother!" We'll talk to him again. ”

It's just that at this time, You Haili is not in the West Courtyard.

The two waited in the west courtyard for a long time and did not see him come back, and were about to go out to check, but saw a small group running into the courtyard in a panic.

You Cheng hurriedly stopped him and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Seeing the two of them, the little guy was overjoyed, as if he had seen a savior, and said in a panic: "Master, third master, the second master is injured and has shed blood, you go and take a look!" ”

Hearing this, the two of them were shocked, and they didn't have time to think about it, so they immediately ran out.

At the gate of You's house, a carriage was parked outside, and a painful roar came out from time to time, which made people frightened and afraid to approach.

You Bowen lifted the curtain and saw the scene inside, his heart was numb, and he didn't dare to look at it anymore.

"How?" Behind, You Cheng anxiously pulled away You Bowen and looked inside. I saw that in the car, You Haili's face was pale and sweating profusely, he sat under the carriage and placed his right arm high above the parking space, and the raised right arm was already bloody and bloody.

"Big, big!" You Haili opened his eyes and called weakly.

You Bowen woke up instantly, and said anxiously: "Second brother, don't speak yet." ”

"Quick, call the doctor." You Cheng roared, and the servants rushed back to the courtyard.

During this period, You Haili screamed in pain many times because of the unbearable pain, until he was carried out of the carriage and sprinkled with painkillers.

The person was carried out of the carriage, and the blood on his right arm could not be stopped, and it fell to the street to form a blood ditch, which spread from the carriage to the You family's mansion, and then disappeared.

Seeing You Haili's injury, the old doctor who has been practicing medicine for many years also trembled a little. The tattered clothes were removed, revealing the wounds. On the right shoulder, a large piece of flesh was scraped off, and on the arm, the scratches were extremely deep, and in serious cases, they were even deep into the bone, and there were many iron needles embedded in the bloody flesh, which were extremely thin and short, and could only be taken out by root.

For two hours, screams of pain continued to come from the room. Outside the door, You Bowen and You Cheng both had red eyes, what kind of pain made him roar in pain for such an iron-clad man.

You Cheng squatted at the door, his head lowered, and his eyes were already red, and there was a deep gloom hidden in his eyes. After dealing with the affairs of Jingdezhen, he returned to Wenzhuang and left his second brother to sort out the follow-up. Could it be that the bandits in the town had not been dealt with and left a trouble, and he was shocked, and he rushed out.
