Originally, since Li Yan left alone, only Zhang Xin lived here, although sometimes, the Wen Jing brothers and sisters, Wang Yan and others came to take a look, or helped take care of it, but most of the time, they were alone, and sometimes they didn't want to talk to someone.

And today Li Yan is back and has brought a friend. It made this place quietly lively, and there was a lot of laughter.

Li Yan came in and looked at everyone who was busy with their own affairs, and didn't say anything, but just went into the room to write things alone.

And Tang Shishi, who was accompanying Zhang Xin on the side, was slightly worried when she saw Li Yan enter the room alone, but in addition to being a little worried, she believed that Li Yan would handle this matter well.

Zhang Xin, who was beside Tang Shishi, looked at Li Yan with a worried look on Tang Shishi, and said with a smile: "You don't need to worry about this, I believe that after more than two months of getting along, you should know Li Yan's skills, and look at which guard is with you, it seems that his skills are better than Li Yan's kid, and he is not an ordinary person." ”

"So in the case of unavoidable circumstances, they can injure and kill some people, after all, this kind of thing is to encircle and intercept people who have evidence of the crime, and to put it mildly, it is a rebellion, which is the crime of killing the head, so killing one or two people is also harmless."

Tang Shishi originally looked a little worried, but when she heard Zhang Xin's words, she looked at Zhang Xin with a slight surprise in her heart. He didn't expect that a person like Zhang Xin, who had already entered the age of the sixtieth year, had not yet been an official in the court, but what he said was decisive and decisive, which was very beyond her imagination.

But then I thought of when I had breakfast with Li Yan again, Li Yan said that Zhang Xin was a person who had been lifted and was a very talented person. After winning the lift, he traveled and made a lot of friends, including those who taught Li Yan kung fu.

And from Zhang Xin's tone just now, it can be heard that when they traveled outside, they encountered a lot of dangers, otherwise according to a normal old man, there would not be such a decisive killing choice.

However, Tang Shishi also agrees with Zhang Xin's statement, after all, for a person who has mastered his own crime, if you go to chase and intercept him, or even more so to chase and kill, then there is only one result, kill the head. If you don't hunt down this person who knows your crimes, the court can make a judgment based on your performance and behavior, the light is to strip yourself of your official position and reduce it to a commoner, and the heavy is to exile one party, but at least this will not die.

However, people are extreme, so who knows what kind of things to do for themselves, generally worrying like Tang Shishi is a normal situation.

"Having said that, if there are too many people coming, or if they don't care about the consequences, they insist on leaving us behind, and our consciousness is unbearable." Although Tang Shishi agreed with what Li Yan said, she still expressed her worries.

When Zhang Xin heard Tang Shishi's worried words, he also felt that it was not unreasonable, but he didn't want to say anything more on this issue, so he waved his hand and said: "Okay, let's not talk about this, just leave this matter to that kid, she won't do things that she is not sure about, so don't worry." ”

Tang Shishi didn't say anything when she heard Zhang Xin's words, so she nodded. When Zhang Xing saw this, he looked at Tang Shishi and asked with a smile: "This kid didn't cause you trouble with you, did he?" ”

"Nope." When Tang Shishi heard Zhang Xin's question, she smiled and said: "Grandpa Zhang is joking, why bother, and my father and mother also like Xiao Yanzi very much, since Xiao Yanzi came, there is also a lot of active atmosphere in our family." ”

"And Xiao Yanzi has helped me a lot, if it weren't for him, I might be in danger."

"Hehe, since she didn't cause you trouble, I'm afraid that kid will cause you something, and if that's the case, I won't let him go to you again." Zhang Xin heard that there was no trouble, so he nodded and said.

When Tang Shishi heard Zhang Xin's words, she shook her head with a smile, and suddenly said, "By the way, Grandpa Zhang, where are Li Yan's parents now?" The last time we had breakfast again, my father asked about it, and Li Yan said that he didn't know either, so I was very curious and wanted to ask, since Grandpa Zhang is, Li Yan's grandfather, should know where they are, right? ”

Tang Shishi asked this sentence with a purpose. The night before departure, Li Yushi came to Tang Shishi's room and said to Tang Shishi: If you go back, you will all pass by Pingyao County, and maybe Li Yan will go back to see his grandfather when you come back, so you just find a time to ask him to see if he knows Li Yan's biological parents?

"Ask Xiao Yanzi's biological parents? Why is this asked? Tang Shishi heard her mother's words and asked incomprehensibly.

"You may not be aware of it." When Li Yushi heard her daughter ask, she glanced at Tang Shishi and said: "This matter is the conjecture of me and your father, we suspect that Li Yan's grandfather Zhang Xin is not Li Yan's own grandfather." You know, Li Yan's surname is Li, and his grandfather's surname is Zhang? Nothing is impossible. ”

"And you should know that Li Yan is wearing a jade pendant." Li Yushi said here, looking at Tang Shishi.

When Tang Shishi heard Li Yushi say that Li Yan's grandfather was not Li Yan's own grandfather, she immediately opened her mouth in surprise, but suddenly felt that what Li Yushi said should be true. What you must know is that when a child is born, whether it is a boy or a girl, he must follow his father's surname, not his mother's surname, except in some special circumstances, but even in special circumstances, it is basically not allowed to follow his mother's surname, which is against morality at this time, so Tang Shishi suddenly felt that what her mother said should be true. But when I heard Li Yushi talk about the jade pendant, I looked at Li Yushi a little bit to see what would happen next.

"That jade pendant you and I saw last time, it's not something that ordinary people have, but it belongs to a big family. Thinking that the location where Li Yan lives is a rural area, it is even more unlikely that these rural farmers bought things. ”

After Li Yushi saw Tang Shishi nodding, he continued: "In addition to these, I have also carefully looked at the color carving of that piece of jade, which belongs to the previous dynasty, and the carving method is also very similar to the unique carving method in Longxi. ”

"And in addition to this, Li Yan also gave me a kind of person, but I couldn't remember who it was. So this time, if you have a chance, you have to ask and see if we can come up with some results. ”

Tang Shishi heard her mother's words, nodded and said: "Okay, I know, as long as I have time, I will ask, but this depends on whether Xiao Yanzi's grandfather will say it, if I don't say it, then I have no choice." ”

"Okay, as long as you're there," Li Yushi heard what Tang Shishi said, nodded and said without care: "Okay, I won't bother you for my mother, go to bed early, and I'll leave tomorrow, you know?" ”

"Got it." When Tang Shishi heard Li Yushi's words, she winked playfully and said, "My mother also rests early." ”

Tang Shishi has been looking for time since she saw this letter, and it just so happens that the rest of the people have gone to make lunch, and Tang Shishi can't cook except for pastries. And Zhang Xin wanted to do something, but the women were not allowed, saying that if we were there, you would just rest, which caused the two of them to chat together, and this gave Tang Shishi a chance.

As soon as Tang Shishi finished asking, Zhang Xin, who was still smiling, became silent. And Tang Shishi saw that Zhang Xin was silent, and immediately knew that, as her mother said, there must be something in this.

And Zhang Xin was silent for a while, Tang Shishi didn't say anything, just looked at Zhang Xin and said: "If Grandpa Zhang has any difficulties, it is needless to say, but the younger generation is offended." ”

Zhang Xin, who had been silent, finally moved when he heard Tang Shishi's words.

"Ugh." I saw Zhang Xin sigh and said: "There is nothing embarrassing about this, since you asked today, it seems that I should find a time to talk to that kid about his identity, originally this matter was waiting for him to talk to her after the double ten, but it seems that it doesn't hurt to tell him." ”

After Zhang Xin said this, he paused for a while before lightly spit out two words:

"Dead."

After Zhang Xin said these two words, he took a long breath, as if the food blocked in the esophagus was instantly swept away.

When Tang Shishi heard Zhang Xin's words, she looked at Zhang Xin with a look of disbelieving. When Tang Shishi asked this question, she thought about a lot of possibilities, such as whether Li Yan was discarded by someone, or was stolen by someone and intercepted by Zhang Xin, and so on, but she also thought of it, and may no longer be alive.

But when I heard that Li Yan's parents also died, it was still a little unbelievable. After a long while, after Tang Shishi calmed down her mood, she looked at Zhang Xin and asked, "Who are Li Yan's biological parents?" ”

"His biological father's name is Li Hao, and his mother's name is Ning Qian." When Zhang Xin heard Tang Shishi's question, he said lazily with interest: "I remember that it seems to be a person from Longxi." ”

Zhang Xin didn't say anything anymore when she said this, and Tang Shishi didn't ask anymore when she saw this, because she had already got the answer she wanted. And as his mother and father guessed, Zhang Xin is not Li Yan's grandfather.

And after Zhang Xin said this, Tang Shishi felt that Zhang Xin seemed to be a lot haggard, if he told Li Yan about this, Zhang Xin was afraid that he would be a little older. After all, Zhang Xin has always treated Li Yan as his own grandson, but now when he thinks of telling him about Li Yan's life experience, you can imagine that Zhang Xin is very uncomfortable in his heart now.

Seeing this, Tang Shishi didn't feel very good in her heart, but she had no choice but to bow apologetically to Zhang Xin, and then leave Zhang Xin to sit there alone. Its figure looked bleak.

After Tang Shishi left, she came to Lian's room, and when she saw that Li Yan was writing, she was slightly distracted, and she didn't know what she was believing, and she had a little sadness on her face.

"What's wrong with you?" When Tang Shishi looked at Li Yan in a trance, Li Yan wrote something and came to Tang Shishi, and asked, "I see that your face is a little bad, are you sick?" ”

"Huh?!" Tang Shishi was brought back to her senses by Li Yanjing, and when she heard Li Yan say that she was sick, she suddenly became slightly angry, and was angry at Li Yan: "You are sick, uh-huh." ”

And Tang Shishi's originally sad look was also because of Li Yan's words, and she returned to her normal color.

When Li Yan saw this, when he heard Tang Shishi's angry expression, he recovered his expression, but he just smiled and didn't say anything more on this topic.

"Okay, it's almost time for dinner, let's go see what kind of delicious food they get at noon today." Li Yan suddenly asked The strong smell of vegetables wafting from the outside said to Tang Shishi with a smile, and walked towards the door after speaking.

And Tang Shishi saw Li Yan talking to herself directly and left, and didn't say anything about being with her all the way, after stomping her feet angrily, she followed Li Yan out of the door.

Today's noon can be described as a sumptuous dish, including seafood, beef, etc., as well as vegetarian dishes. And some of the raw materials of these dishes were bought in Pingyao City yesterday, and some of them were dried seafood brought back from Lanshan City, and the vegetarian dishes were grown by Zhang Xin or Wen Jing's family.

A table of people, more than 20 people gathered together, eating and laughing. And there are a few subordinates in this table, in general, the subordinates can't eat at the same table with the master, and today is special, so everyone is allowed.

And a table of people was happy to eat, and Zhang Xin was lazy, but he still finished eating with laughter.

After eating and drinking enough, Zhang Xin looked at Li Yan and said, "Li Yan, let's go out for a walk?" ”

"Okay." When Li Yan heard Zhang Xin's words, he didn't think about it, and after agreeing directly, he looked at Tang Shishi and the others and asked, "Do you want to be together?" ”

When Tang Xiu heard Li Yan's question, he immediately agreed: "Me." ”

As soon as Tang Xiu's words fell, he saw Tang Shishi looking at him sideways, which made Tang Xiu immediately afraid, because Tang Shishi looked at Tang Xiu's eyes, which means: If you follow more, you will be ready to be beaten.

Seeing this, Tang Xiu shrunk his neck, looked at Li Yan and said with a haha: "I suddenly remembered, I still have something, so I won't be with you." ”

When Li Yan saw Tang Xiu's expression, he didn't know how it could be, so he looked at Tang Shishi in puzzlement.

And Tang Shishi saw Li Yan's puzzled expression, so she said angrily: "You two haven't seen each other for a few months, so let's have a good chat with the two of you, and we won't get involved." ”

When Li Yan heard Tang Shishi's words, he nodded clearly, and walked outside, and Zhang Xin followed Li Yan's side.

After Li Yan and Zhang Xin went out, Tang Shishi looked at Tang Xiu angrily and said, "Why didn't I find out why you are so stupid." Didn't you see that Grandpa Zhang had something to say to Xiao Yanzi? What are you going to mix with? In the future, you should pay attention to the expression of the person. And even if you can't see it. You should also know that after being separated from your relatives for too long, you have to catch up with the old days, so you have to leave time for them to talk. Got it? ”

Tang Shishi directly scolded Tang Xiu, and Tang Xiu had to accept it as if he was taught. Tang Xiu knew why Tang Shishi was like this, so he nodded aggrievedly and said, "Oh, that's it, I'll definitely pay attention next time." ”

Tang Shishi saw Tang Xiu looking aggrieved. His expression eased, and he looked at the direction in which Li Yan and Zhang Xin left, and said in an indescribable mood: "And Grandpa Zhang wants to talk to Xiao Yanzi about him, so let's not bother them." ”

When everyone heard this, they also did what they should do.

Li Yan and Zhang Xin came to the riverside of the village and sat down without saying a word. Zhang Xin glanced at Li Yan and said, "At the county guard's house, life is fine." ”

"Hmm." Hearing this, Li Yan nodded.

"We haven't seen each other for more than two months, so I'm chatting today." Zhang Xin said that he would nag.

The two chatted and chatted hotly. However, just as the conversation was hot, Zhang Xin suddenly changed his words and threw out a bomb.

"Actually, I wanted to talk to you about you today." Zhang Xin said this, looked at Li Yan with a desolate expression and said, "Actually, you and I are not related by blood. I'm not your grandfather, and you're not my grandson. ”

As soon as Zhang Xin's voice fell, the atmosphere that was originally a hot conversation suddenly became eerily quiet.

Li Yan's expression of excitement began to change. With an expression of disbelief, he smiled and said, "Grandpa, this joke is not funny at all." ”

"Huh." When Zhang Xin heard Li Yan's words, he smiled and looked at Li Yan and said seriously: "Do you think I'm joking?" What I'm saying is true. From your and my names, you can see that you are not related by blood. Got it? ”

Li Yan didn't believe it at all, and after hearing Zhang Xin say, "You and I can see it in my name", he was directly stunned, and after a long time, Nie Nuonuo said annoyingly: "Why? Ever since I can remember, I know that my grandfather brought me up, fed me, dressed me, taught me to read and write, and even let people teach me martial arts, and now you actually say that we are not related by blood, is this not a joke? Don't tell me that my real relatives have found me and are coming to pick me up. I don't believe in this, and I don't quite believe in it. ”

Li Yan said that he looked excited, his face was incredulous, and his voice trembled.

Li Yan originally planned to ask about his parents today, as well as about the jade pendant he was carrying. Because of what he said from the mouth of the master of Xuanzhong Temple, after adding Li Yushi and Tang Liwen asked about his parents, he had doubts in his heart, and he wanted to ask his grandfather for clarification, but what he didn't expect was that even Zhang Xin was not his own grandfather, which made Li Yan very shocked.

Zhang Xin also shook his head sadly when he saw Li Yan's excited appearance. If he wants him to say that he doesn't want to talk to Li Yan about this matter, he will never talk to Li Yan about his life experience, because he regards Li Yan as his relatives, and the two of them depend on each other together, and if Tang Shishi hadn't asked about it today, he might not have mentioned it until he died of old age.

However, since Tang Shishi mentioned it, it means that Tang Liwen has guessed something, so he simply said it, so as to let go of the burden in his heart. And this is also one aspect of his miscalculation, but since the wood is also a boat, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, so there is nothing to say.
