Chapter 52: Death is Short

The old man's face was full of smiles, he was wiping the tables and chairs, and his eyes were doting when he looked at his granddaughter.

At this moment, an abrupt voice came, which immediately interrupted this warm atmosphere, "I haven't seen her for two years, this little girl is really becoming more and more sensible, and she knows how to help with housework." ”

A young man in his twenties walked in with a faint smile on his face, and I had already put on his hat with a hazy veil the moment he entered.

This person was the young master of the Wang family who he saw in the morning, and he glanced at me and the old man with contempt, and then his eyes fell on Xiao Youming's body.

"Uncle, do you know me?" Xiao Youming's mouth was very sweet, and although he felt that the visitor was not good, he still called uncle obediently.

"Know, how could I not know, I knew you when your parents were alive." This young master of the Wang family has a fair and colorless face, and his face has no beard, giving people a feeling of yin owl. He was blunt, and his simple words suddenly stabbed the sore spot in the hearts of the old and the young.

Xiao Youming's big eyes suddenly turned red, she still vaguely remembered the appearance of her parents back then, during the time when her parents died, she often woke up crying in her sleep, and then with the passage of time, she slowly forgot the sadness.

However, at this moment, it was brought up again, and the appearance of her parents appeared in her heart again, tears rolled down from her eyes, she turned her small body to wash the dishes, and her little shoulders twitched every time she sobbed.

Seeing Xiao Youming's appearance, the old man immediately changed color: "Young Master Wang, do you have anything else?" ”

The young master of the Wang family pulled a chair, sat down by himself, put his legs on the table, played with the folding fan in his hand, and said: "It's nothing, it's just that I'm more nostalgic, and I came here to see how their lives are going." ”

"I don't care about this, Young Master Wang, you have seen it, can you leave?" The old man said in a deep voice.

"Young Master Ben came to visit you, you don't have a warm hospitality, even if you don't have a warm welcome, now that my chair hasn't been warmed up, you're going to be a guest? Old man Xia, you can't be hospitable. The young master of the Wang family was condescending, with a faint sneer on his face, and continued: "Old man Xia, aren't you still jealous of me? ”

In the final analysis, this young master of the Wang family is really not a good thing, he entered the Northern Imperial Division at the same time as Xiao Youming, because of his bad conduct and not being reused, he was left far behind by Xiao Youming's father.

Later, because of favoritism, after being exposed by Xiao Youming's father, he became jealous, and when Xiao Youming's parents died, he let the people of the Wang family forcibly seize their house and drive them here.

Seeing that the old man didn't speak, the young master of the Wang family smiled coldly and said, "Old man Xia, there is no need to keep the old past in your heart, if you are jealous, just say it directly, I won't eat you." Besides, you're all this age, and you don't have many years to live, so you might be careful that you'll suffocate yourself to death one day. ”

The old man's body trembled a few times, but quickly calmed down again: "Young Master Wang, old man, I only want to know one thing, otherwise I won't be blind even if I die!" ”

"If you want to know something, you ask." The young master of the Wang family took a long time, and with a "snap", he unfolded the folding fan in his hand and shook it gently.

"I just want to know, did my son and daughter-in-law really die in an accident?" The old man was a little agitated, clenching a pair of fists, his knuckles were already blue, and his body was trembling slightly.

Seeing that his body was unstable and that he might fall down at any moment, I hurriedly got up and helped him to a chair. On the other side, Xiao Youming was sobbing silently, her small body was facing away from us, and she didn't know how fierce she was crying, and her shoulders were constantly trembling.

"Old man Xia, it seems that the resentment you hold in your heart is not small, but so what, your old bones are about to fall apart, is it possible that you still want to fight with me? If you have three long and two short, then your beautiful little granddaughter will have no one to take care of you. ”

"How the hell did my son and daughter-in-law die?!" The old man was short of breath and his chest was heaving violently.

"Heh~ You can guess for yourself." The young master of the Wang family closed the folding fan in his hand, looked at me, and said, "I heard that he led those Diao people to beat a few housekeepers into cripples?" Looking at your figure, it should be a woman, right? ”

"I'll clean you up later!" I grinded my teeth secretly, didn't even look at him, and patted the old man on the back to calm him down. The young master of the Wang family glanced at me coldly, didn't continue to say anything, got up and walked towards Xiao Youming.

"What are you going to do?!" The old man's eyes suddenly showed a look of horror, and he quickly got up, opened his arms to block the way of the young master of the Wang family, and protected Xiao Youming behind him.

"Why are you so nervous? Am I still going to be able to do it to a good girl for a month? Stay on my side! As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pulled the old man aside, and then looked at Xiao Youming carefully with a condescending gaze, nodded constantly, muttered to himself, and said, "Like, it's too similar, it's like a mold carved out......"

Xiao Youming bit her lip tightly, although she was still sobbing, she couldn't bear to cry out, unwilling to expose her vulnerable side in front of the young master of the Wang family.

The young master of the Wang family held a folding fan in his right hand and tapped his left hand gently, as if he was thinking about something, and only spoke again after a long time: "Okay, old man Xia, I will take this girl away tomorrow, and you will stay here and enjoy your old age by yourself." ”

"You, what do you mean?!" The old man's eyes widened suddenly, and he pulled Xiao Youming behind him with a short breath, looking at him vigilantly.

"This little girl is ingenious, I plan to take him to be a maid, so it's better than following you to eat and not eat."

"Fart! Unless I'm dead, you don't want to take my granddaughter!" The old man was in a hurry, his breathing became a little difficult, his eyes were bloodshot, and his body shook for a while.

"Don't get excited." I hurriedly helped him to a chair and whispered comfort.

"Grandpa, are you alright? Youming won't leave......" Xiao Youming hugged the old man's thighs, her little face was full of worry and sadness, and her tears finally couldn't help falling.

"I said Xia Lao, why don't you understand people's words, this little girl can eat and drink spicy food with me, and then you can only eat some coarse tea and light rice, don't you want to give her a better life?" The young master of the Wang family said sarcastically.

The old man was short of breath, gasping for breath several times, and after a long time, he recovered his strength, and begged: "Young Master Wang, just let our grandson go, please......"

"Spare you?" Young Master Wang's face suddenly sank, and he said a little coldly: "Isn't it good enough for Young Master Ben to accept your granddaughter as a maid and let you enjoy your old age here?" Don't give it to me! ”

"I'm going to be by my grandfather's side forever!" Xiao Youming's eyes were already red and swollen from crying, and she hugged the old man's thighs.

"It's useless to talk more, I have to take this girl away, Young Master Ben still has important things to do today, come back in a few days." After saying this, the young master of the Wang family turned around, his tone was a little cold, and said: "It is said that it depends on the master to beat the dog, even if he has been expelled from the Wang family, but it is not for you people to bully, you are a woman, and this young master will spare your life." ”

Speaking of this, he pressed my shoulder twice with one hand, and said unhurriedly: "Self-righteous people don't live long." ”

Good guy, these two blows are full of strength, penetrating the whole body, trying to forcibly break my tendons, okay, on the surface, they said that they would spare my life, but they just wanted me to become a waste.

I scolded in my heart, turned the internal force, quietly dissolved the force, and then calculated the plan, "bang", slumped on the ground, spit out a mouthful of blood, and even the chair behind me was almost broken apart by me.

The young master of the Wang family glanced at it, smiled coldly, and then walked away satisfied.

"Kid, what's wrong with you?" The old man's face was shocked. "Sister, are you alright......" Xiao Youming's face was also frightened, and she reached through the light veil to wipe the blood off my mouth.

It wasn't until the young master of the Wang family was completely away that I took off the hat on my head, breathed a long sigh of relief, and then smiled: "I'm fine." ”

"Are you really okay?" The old man was a little incredulous. Xiao Youming also looked nervous, and said, "Sister, you vomited blood just now......

"Don't worry, I'm really fine, but the young master of the Wang family is really ruthless, if I hadn't reacted in time just now, all the muscles and veins in my body might have been abolished by him at this time."

"Alas~ it was we who caused you, if it weren't for our ...... Alas! The old man's parents sighed and blamed themselves.

"Old man, don't say that, I forcibly spit out the blood just now, only in this way can he let his guard down against me, otherwise my next plan will not be implemented." I chuckled.

"...... you," the old man looked puzzled.

"He stole the holy decree of the Northern Imperial Division, and he is destined to pay a price, but I am afraid that his life will not be long in coming."

…………

This night, I was always observing the movements of the Wang family, and I did not leave here until the dead of night, and stayed near a mountain road outside Chang'an City.

The moonlight was hazy, a dark cloud passed, the mountains and forests suddenly became dark, and unknown beasts began to roar, and the mountains and forests at this point in time were a little gloomy and terrifying.

It was the first time for me to ambush people in this environment, and I was somewhat inexplicably nervous, my heart was in my throat, and I pushed my own perception to the limit, always paying attention to the movements around me and around me.

In the second half of the night, the mountain trail shook, and the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and in the dim moonlight, the Usha horse rushed like a black wind.
