CHAPTER XXIII
Lin Yiyi didn't know that her son had finally got his future daughter-in-law, and he was rushing towards her with interest at this time. She struggled to find her way along the way according to the code left by Huang Laoxi, although Dongxie was Yang Kang's father-in-law, in fact, Lin Yiyi did not have much communication with him. Ever since Yang Kang recognized Huang Yaoshi, Huang Yaoshi would take Yang Kang away for a few months every year. Sometimes it's to travel, sometimes it's to study on Peach Blossom Island, usually Lin Yiyi doesn't follow these times, so she and Dongxie have only met five times in the past ten years. The code used for communication like this was also taught to her by Yang Kang, who was not familiar with it, and coupled with Lin Yiyi's strange direction, she searched for a long time but found nothing.
Just when Lin Yiyi was about to go back to Yang Kang for help, he looked up and saw the cyan figure on the second floor of a tavern. Finally found someone, Lin Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief, she finally didn't have to lose face in front of her son!
Walking into the tavern, Lin Yiyi went straight to the second floor. The man sat in the window seat, and there was a jug of wine on the table in front of him, and he was pouring himself a drink. The same Tsing Yi, the same jade flute, the only difference is that today's Huang Yaoshi does not wear a disguised mask. In fact, over the years, she has been able to teach Huang Yaoshi the disguise technique in "The Treasure of Mercy Flowers", so now he no longer wears the mask that looks extremely stiff, but I don't know why he shows his true face today, didn't Kang'er say that his stepfather has always hated showing his true face in front of outsiders
In fact, this is also understandable, when Lin Yiyi first saw the true face of the East Evil, he understood his approach. Because his appearance is so attractive, not that he is outstanding, but because there is a contradictory beauty in him. Huang Yaoshi is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has the jade-like temperament of a son of a family, but he is dissolute and uninhibited, inadvertently with a bit of evil spirit, how can such a contradictory combination not attract attention. In modern parlance, it's 100 percent head turn.
Lin Yiyi walked to the table and sat opposite Huang Yaoshi, the two people who were not familiar with each other couldn't find any topic for a while, and the dull atmosphere was really embarrassing.
"Little Er!" Lin Yiyi was really not used to such an atmosphere, so she planned to call Xiao Er to serve a few dishes first, but she hadn't eaten yet.
"What do you command, guest officer?" Xiao Er asked enthusiastically.
"Serve a few of your signature dishes." Lin Yiyi was too lazy to flip through the recipe and said casually.
"Okay, I don't know what the guest officer has to do?"
"Don't want coriander, put less chopped green onions, don't like spicy!" Without waiting for Lin Yiyi to speak, a deep voice rushed to the opposite side, and Lin Yiyi was surprised that what Huang Yaoshi said was all her habit. Lin Yiyi didn't think much about it, she just thought that Yang Kang had mentioned it to Huang Yaoshi, but she was embarrassed by her picky eater, and Huang Yaoshi's thoughtfulness made her feel novel.
After a breakthrough in the embarrassing atmosphere of the incident just now, Lin Yiyi personally poured a glass of wine for Huang Yaoshi and herself, picked up the wine glass and said to Huang Yaoshi: "Lord Huangdao, thank you for teaching Kang'er for so many years. I toast you! ”
Huang Yaoshi picked up the wine on the table and drank it down, and then said, "You can call me Pharmacist!" After a pause, he continued: "Kang'er is fine! ”
The wine in Lin Yiyi's mouth almost squirted out, how did she not know that Dongxie was so self-cooked? However, one of them is Yang Kang's biological mother, and the other is his stepfather, so it is not good to be too angry. "Senior Brother Yao!" Lin Yiyi shouted as if he were kind, "Then you also call me to pity the weak!" ”
"Pity the weak!"
I don't know why the ordinary name was called out by this person Lin Yiyi suddenly felt a little flustered, and quickly shifted her gaze, just to see Yang Kang pulling Li Mochou upstairs, "Kang'er, here!" Lin Yiyi waved her hand and motioned for them to come over. Huang Yaoshi just glanced at Lin Yiyi and didn't speak.
Yang Kang and Li Mochou walked over hand in hand, and when they saw this scene, Lin Yiyi still didn't understand something. "Kang'er, I didn't expect you to start quite quickly, tell your mother what's going on?" Then he turned his head to Li Mochou and said, "If he bullies you in the future, just sue me, and my mother will help you clean her up." Such straightforward words made Li Mochou's face flush.
Yang Kang smiled when he saw this scene, and carefully explained the matter of recruiting relatives in the martial arts competition just now. When it was said that the woman who was recruiting relatives was named Mu Nianci, the expression on her face was obviously stiff. Yang Kang didn't notice, but Huang Yaoshi glanced at Lin Yiyi.
After dinner, Lin Yiyi called Yang Kang into the room alone, looking at Yang Kang, who is now a beautiful son, Lin Yiyi felt a lot for a while. It turned out that unconsciously, the white and tender child who was like a ball back then has grown so big, "Kang'er, I have always told you that your father has died, but in fact, your father is still alive." I'll tell you what happened right now that year, and you can make a decision after you hear it. Then Lin Yiyi told the story of the year without personal emotion, including her affairs in the Six Kings' Mansion. Of course, Lin Yiyi didn't say that the person who was injured by Li Mochou was Yang Tiexin, after all, Lin Yiyi also had a selfish heart, maybe she wouldn't meet this person in the future, so she didn't say that she was asking for trouble now.
Perhaps it was because this incident had too much impact on Yang Kang, but Yang Kang was just silent and did not speak after hearing it. "You already know the whole thing, how you decide I won't interfere, but there are a few things I want to make clear. Back then, when your father left me alone to face the officers and soldiers, my fate with him was over,、。 As you might have guessed, I didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore. Moreover, although Wanyan Honglie is the murderer who ruined our family, I also have to admit that if it were not for him, I am afraid that our mother and son would have become dead souls, which is also an unclear fate, if you meet him in the future, it depends on your thoughts whether to kill or release. There is only one thing, I hope you can have your own judgment and not be disturbed by others! ”
Yang Kang raised his head and looked at his mother, who had been dependent on her since she was a child, although she tried her best to hide it, Yang Kang still lightly saw a little apprehension in her mother's eyes, and suddenly felt a little sad. "Mother, don't worry, I won't leave you no matter what! Besides, even though my dad is still alive, he doesn't know where he is. ”
Hearing this, Lin Yiyi felt a little weak-hearted, and waved her hand impatiently, "Okay, don't be an eyesore here!" Go with your daughter-in-law, if you lose my daughter-in-law, see how I clean you up! ”
The "......" style of painting is a bit wrong, right? Yang Kang, who was waiting for his mother to hug him and cry bitterly, was kicked out like this, watching the door close in front of him with a "bang", Yang Kang Yang Kang touched the tip of his nose that was almost hit, tidied up his clothes and happily went to play with his daughter-in-law.
Lin Yiyi didn't sleep well this night, and for a while she dreamed that Bao Xiqiao and Yang Tiexin hugged each other and died, and for a while she dreamed that Yang Kang died in a broken temple. Tossing and turning all night, Lin Yiyi climbed up helplessly with two dark circles under her eyes as soon as it was dawn.
After dressing and grooming, Lin Yiyi opened the door and took a deep breath, the slightly cool air in the morning made her boring mood better. When I walked downstairs, I saw Huang Yaoshi sitting alone in the lobby, it was still very early, and there was no one in the lobby.
"Why did Senior Brother Yao get up so early?" Lin Yiyi was a little surprised, she didn't expect Huang Yaoshi to get up earlier than her, didn't she sleep well last night?
"Last night, Rong'er visited the Six Princes' Mansion at night, and Kang'er took that girl to help." Huang Yaoshi glanced at Lin Yiyi, and his gaze paused as he swept to the heavy dark circles under her eyes.
Lin Yiyi didn't notice it at all, she was just surprised that Huang Rong and Guo Jing went to Yan Honglie's mansion last night. She vaguely remembered that Guo Jing went to the palace to find medicine for some Taoist chief, but this time Yang Kang did not arrest Mu Nianci into the palace, and there was no princess in the palace who guarded the cold gun of the old house, thinking that Yang Kang should not be able to meet Yang Tiexin. Thinking of this, Lin Yiyi put her mind at ease for the time being, she just needs to wait until her son and daughter-in-law come back and then go back to Jiaxing together, and it doesn't matter if he is Yang Tiexin or Niu Tiexin at that time.
It's a pity that Lin Yiyi was happy too early, and when she saw Yang Kang coming back with a group of people, she only felt a little dizzy. Look at this string of people, her son didn't go out in vain, at least brought back all the people she hated.
Lin Yiyi covered her forehead with her hand, she could already believe what would happen later. God, who will save her!
Yang Kang obviously didn't see his mother's depressed mood, and pointed to the group of people behind him with a smile and said, "Mother, father-in-law, these are all friends of Rong'er. This is Guo Jing, and these are his masters. These two are the Taoist masters of the Quanzhen Sect, this is Miss Mu, and this is his father, Mr. Mu. Yang Kang introduced everyone to Lin Yiyi and Huang Yaoshi one by one.
At this moment, the man who had been standing behind and being supported by Mu Nianci suddenly became excited, and he saw him push away the people around him and walk tremblingly in front of Lin Yiyi, his lips trembling as if he was a little incredulous. In the end, he looked at Lin Yiyi stupidly and said in a trembling voice: "Sorry for the weak, is it you?" You're alive? ”
If she could, Lin Yiyi really wanted to grab the man's collar and shout, 'It's not me!' It's a pity she can't! Putting down her hand resignedly, Lin Yiyi looked at the man in front of her who had gray hair and looked extremely old, and said very calmly: "Yang Tiexin, long time no see!" ”
"It's really you!" Yang Tiexin hurriedly stepped forward to grab Lin Yiyi's hand, but unfortunately Lin Yiyi didn't give him this opportunity.
After turning his body and easily dodging Yang Tiexin, Lin Yiyi looked at Yang Tiexin expressionlessly. Gradually, Yang Tiexin calmed down, and only then did he realize that the gentle, loving eyes he had used to have were gone. Now Bao Xiqiao looked at him like a stranger, no, not even a stranger. Even if he didn't want to admit it, he couldn't deceive himself, and now those eyes were full of disgust, and his wife was disgusted with him. The thought made him angry and a little scared.
"Why are you here? Since you're still alive, why don't you wait for me in Niujia Village? Lin Yiyi's eyes stung Yang Tiexin, so he asked forcefully, as if the person in front of him was still his gentle and cowardly wife.
"Waiting for you in Niujia Village?" Lin Yiyi sneered, "Yang Tiexin, have you ever been back to Niujia Village since you and I parted that day!" ”
"I" Yang Tie looked away with a weak heart.
Seeing his reaction, Lin Yiyi immediately understood that her guess was right. Yang Tiexin never went back to Niujia Village at all, she said that in the original book, Zhongqiu was able to find Bao Xiqiao according to the clues of the old house, why couldn't Yang Tiexin, unless he never returned to Niujia Village at all.
"Why don't you dare go back? Are you afraid to see the bodies of your wife and son? I'm still afraid that my wife has been ruined! Lin Yiyi said while forcing Yang Tiexin to step back, "Then what have you been wandering around all these years?" Are you looking for your brother's child? Yang Tiexin, you are really a man who values love and righteousness, but it's a pity that I can't afford to be a hero like you. My husband, even if he is a hero who stands up to the sky, must not use me and my children with chips! ”
Picking up the pen and paper on the table next to him, Lin Yiyi wrote a letter and threw it at Yang Tiexin's feet, "I thought you were dead, and this thing would not be used, since you are still alive, then sign this and leave the book!" ”
"What? I would never agree to it! Yang Tiexin took a few steps back, as if the paper on the ground was a flood beast. Sorry for the weak, you listen to me, I know you are angry with me, but I was ...... at that time"
"I've been Yan Honglie's concubine!" Lin Yiyi's faint words shocked Yang Tiexin. Yang Tiexin only felt that the world was spinning, his wife actually married someone else, and he was actually cuckolded. For a moment, he only felt that everyone around him was looking at him with mocking eyes.
"How dare you! How dare you! Yang Tiexin's face was flushed, and even his eyes were bloodshot.
"Or else? Waiting to be ruined by the officers and soldiers or ready to cut yourself, oh, I forgot that you left me a dagger, just to use it to kill myself. ”
"No, I made you ...... dagger"
"Self-defense? Don't you think it's funny? A powerless pregnant woman, you give her a dagger, who else can you kill but yourself? Speaking of this, Lin Yiyi was impatient, glanced at Yang Tiexin, and said, "Do you sign or not?" If you don't, I'll leave your husband!" ”
Hearing this, Yang Tie was so angry that he was going to die, but he was helpless, and in desperation, he signed his name on the book of resignation angrily, and it was okay for such a woman who did not abide by women's morals to take a break.
Looking at the book in his hand with satisfaction, Lin Yiyi gave Yang Kang a look that he looked at and did not care about his son who was about to die, hummed a little song and turned away from a group of wide-eyed people behind him.
Huang Yaoshi looked at Lin Yiyi's departing back, and a trace of appreciation crossed his eyes, it is rare for such a firm and resolute woman to be seen. When he saw Yang Tiexin, who was depressed on the side, Huang Yaoshi sneered, if it was him, even if he wanted to save his brother's life, he would definitely arrange his wife and children properly, even if he died at that time, what matter. How can a person who can't even protect his own relatives save others.
