After Xu Heng dragged Tianbao to the Yishi Bureau, he found a remote place to sit down, and then called Xiao Er in the store, ordered two side dishes, and asked for a pot of wine.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to serve the food, Xu Heng found that Tianbao was a little distracted, so Xu Heng came to Tianbao and said, "Tianbao, tell Uncle Xu, where did you go today with your leave?" ”

Saying that, Xu Heng smiled, which made Tianbao, who was originally a little stunned, even more ashamed to face Xu Heng in front of him.

"No······ I didn't go anywhere, I just wandered around. ”

Xu Heng thought of his state when he met Tianbao just now, and seemed to understand something, and secretly thought, the relationship between this child is older, and he is beginning to get along.

Thinking of this, Xu Heng smiled a little malice, and then deliberately asked, "Tianbao, how old is it?" ”

"Seventeen, eighteen in a few days."

"Well, it's time too." Xu Heng said casually, but Tianbao was stunned when he heard it, and he didn't know what Xu Heng meant.

"What's the time?" Tempo asked.

"It's time to find you a family affair." Xu Heng said with a smile.

Tianbao was a little unsure of what Xu Heng said, so he had to urge Xiao Er to hurry up and bring up the wine and food.

Xu Heng laughed, and stopped making fun of Tianbao.

It didn't take long for the wine and food to be served, originally Tianbao was going to use a normal small wine cup, but Xu Heng had to drag Tianbao is bowl to drink.

"Tianbao, don't use such a small cup, it's not atmospheric at all, come, Uncle Xu is in a panic today, you accompany Uncle Xu to drink some, drink in a big bowl."

Ignoring Tianbao's objections, he directly asked Xiao Er to remove the small wine cup in front of him and replace it with a big bowl.

After three rounds of drinking, the two were a little drunk.

"Eight years ago, I was chased and killed by the enemy, fled to Linqing Mansion, and then met the owner, and thanks to him, I have my life to this day." Xu Heng picked up his wine glass and began to talk to Tianbao about his past.

Cold, cold to the bone, this is Xu Heng's only memory of that day eight years ago.

Xu Heng, who was chased and killed by the enemy, finally got rid of the other party after fleeing for two days and two nights, and he fell in the water pool at the mouth of the alley due to lack of physical strength.

At that time, the winter and spring were communicating, the snow in the alley had not completely melted, the cold snow water mixed with the blood flowing from his wounds, soaked all over his body, cold to the bone, at that moment, Xu Heng seemed to see his dead relatives, appeared in front of him one by one, and then walked towards himself, looked at himself, and whispered something to himself.

"If you're tired, go to sleep."

"If you're tired, go to sleep."

"If you're tired······"

The voice became softer and softer, Xu Heng felt that he was back in his childhood, he saw his grandfather enjoying the shade under the willow tree in the yard, while holding a fan to drive away the flying insects that stole food, while looking at himself kindly and laughing, that smile made Xu Heng feel extremely warm, he saw his father interrogating himself sternly, why didn't he practice well, he saw his mother's gentle face, telling himself a story that could never be finished.

"Perhaps, really tired······"

Xu Heng watched his relatives leave from him one by one, looking at their departing backs, he felt a little tired, his eyes gradually became blurred, then everything in front of him became blurry, and finally everything turned into darkness.

"I'm tired, I'm going to sleep."

In the dark, Xu Heng muttered to himself, he lay there quietly, feeling the coldness under him gradually spread throughout his body, this is death, without a trace of emotion, but in the end it is a kind of relief.

"I'm going to sleep······"

The voice gradually deepened, then disappeared, and finally even Xu Heng's body slowly sank into the dark and cold beneath him, and everything ceased to exist.

When Xu Heng woke up, he didn't know how long it was, he just felt that he had woken up in the dark, and then kept running there, running, seemingly running forward endlessly, and then ······ He was hungry.

Yes, Xu Heng was hungry, and he was very hungry, and that feeling of emptiness in his body hit his soul directly.

So the first thing Xu Heng said when he woke up was: "Is there anything to eat?" ”

This made the little guy who took care of him laugh at him for half a year.

"Where is this?" When Xu Heng gobbled up the last piece of steamed bun in his hand and stuffed it into his mouth with the last bit of soup, he remembered to ask this question.

"Have you eaten enough?" The answer was a middle-aged man, slender and with two mustaches, and he was lying on the chaise longue, sipping tea leisurely while reading the book in his hand.

The fragrance of tea overflowed, and Xu Heng's nose twitched, as if he wanted to suck the fragrance of tea floating in the room into his nose without waste.

"Want to drink?" The middle-aged man asked with a smile.

Xu Heng nodded noncommittally, and then regretted it a little, feeling that it was a bit rude, but the aroma was really too tempting, as if it was the top brand he had seen in the building back then, and the charming fragrance he still couldn't forget.

The middle-aged man tried to look at the maid who was waiting in the house, and the maid got the order, so he brought the freshly brewed tea to Xu Heng.

Xu Heng didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, so he picked up the cup and took a sip, but the tea was too hot, so he put him back again.

"Do you want me to tell the kitchen to cook something else?"

Xu Heng smiled, then shook his head, and said to the middle-aged man: "Eat enough, eat enough." ”

After speaking, Xu Heng got up and hugged his fist at the middle-aged man and said: "Don't thank you for your kindness, dare to ask the benefactor's name, Xu will definitely repay the benefactor for this friendship in the future." ”

The middle-aged man smiled, stood up from the recliner, and then said to Xu Heng: "In Xia Dong Tiankuo, he is the owner of the Silver Hook Gambling House. ”

Dong Tiankuo didn't ask the other party's origin, after all, the other party didn't take the initiative to say, and it was not easy for him to investigate it carefully.

As soon as Xu Heng arched his hand, he was about to leave, but he didn't want to be stopped by Dong Tiankuo at this time.

"Brother Xu, have you figured out where you're going?"

Xu Heng stopped suddenly, in order to avoid the pursuit, he casually found a direction and ran, but at this time, he really didn't know where he was now, since he didn't know where he was, let alone where he was going.

Dong Tiankuo laughed, and then said to Xu Heng: "This is Linqing Mansion, I don't know if you have heard of Brother Xu." ”

After Xu Heng heard this, he was also stunned, he didn't expect that he would run so far.

Dong Tiankuo seemed to see Xu Heng's difficulty, so he said to him with a smile: "My gambling house lacks a manager, if Brother Xu doesn't dislike it, stay with me." ”

Xu Heng, who had experienced being chased and killed, heard Dong Tiankuo's words, and his first reaction was vigilance.

His eyes were fixed on Dong Tiankuo, and then he asked, "Brother Dong didn't ask me where I came from, so he left me here?" ”
