"Fifth brother!"

Xue Biao jumped up all of a sudden, and hurriedly pushed away the wine glass: "I can't help it, I can't help it!" How do you say that? How can the fifth brother be sorry for me? ”

Huo Wu couldn't be pushed, and directly stuffed the wine glass into Xue Biao's hand: "Take it!" Must pick up! ”

Xue Biao's hands trembled, and he didn't dare to refuse again.

"I shouldn't have been unable to let go of what happened back then, and my anger was taken on you......" Huo Wu said in a sullen voice.

"Fifth brother...... I ......" Xue Biao, who has always been smart, couldn't speak.

How many years ago, the heartache was too heavy, no one dared to mention it,

At the beginning, there were nine brothers, and the love was more than flesh and blood, and there were other people in the seventh year.

Xue Biao is just a young man in the account room, and he is also the grandson of the old account room.

Later, Lao Qi betrayed and killed his first four brothers, and the old account room also died protecting the treasury.

The old man made the decision, removed the old seven, and mentioned Xue Biao to make up the old seven ranking.

However, Xue Biao only got a ranking, and the feelings were different in the end.

The fifth, sixth, eighth, and ninth four brothers joined forces to hunt down the traitor, avenged the brothers, and when the old man was gone, they broke up and went their separate ways.

"Back then, we lost a few brothers, and you also lost your only relative...... Huo Wu sighed: "It's not so much annoying you, it's better to say that I'm annoyed that I'm blind and mistrusted that beast!" ”

Xue Biao only felt that the circles under his eyes were hot, how could he not know about the rejection of him by several righteous brothers?

They disliked him for being in the ranks, but if he was to choose, he would rather his grandfather was still alive.

The old man is in charge, no one lets him choose!

"Fifth brother, I'm not 'Xue Qiye', I'm 'Seventh Master'!" Xue Biao held the wine glass and said with a choked voice.

"It's the fifth brother who is wrong, he doesn't look like a brother, he first suspected you of calculating the eighth brother, and then pulled the sixth brother to squeeze you! The fifth brother will not compensate you, the fifth brother is confused! Huo Wu said, leaning his neck and drinking the wine in his glass.

Xue Biao also drank it all in one gulp, I don't know if it was the wine or if he was really wronged, and tears flowed down his eyes.

"Hey!" Huo Wu sighed and filled Xue Biao with wine.

"I know, just the eighth brother treats me, and the fifth brother and the sixth brother dislike me...... Quyang is only a hundred miles away from Jinling, and no one in the fifth or sixth brother thinks of contacting me...... What can I do? It's just to communicate with the eighth child, I secretly do it, I'm afraid that my brothers will know how to stop it......" Xue Biao wiped a handful on his face and ate the wine in his cup in one gulp.

"What happened to the eighth family three years ago, it was still a peaceful year at that time, and I didn't know that the world would be chaotic, and I could deliberately harm the eighth family? What am I drawing? The fifth brother and the sixth brother don't want to think about it, so they suspect me, where do they treat me as a brother? In the past two months, several brothers have reunited, and the relationship is still the same as it was at the beginning, and I am redundant...... You are the 'Fifth Master', the 'Sixth Master', and the 'Eighth Master', what about me? I am also a brother in the ranking, and I have been subsidizing the old eight or three years, but I have become 'Xue Qiye'! You are a family, and I am an outsider! My heart chills! My heart is cold! ”

Xue Biao's heart was full of depression and turned into grievances, which was really sad.

"It's the fifth brother who is confused...... I've wronged you these days...... It's rare that our brothers have got together again, and it's time to work hard together......"

"How? The fifth brother, the sixth brother and the eighth brother are all brave, what do I have? can only fiddle with the abacus, except for a few taels of silver, and if you want to help a few brothers, you can't do it! ”

"You are subsidizing the eighth child, and you are still tossing around in Changzhou, in the final analysis, it is just to leave a back road, there is a back road now, the fifth brother wants you to go with me, are you going?"

“……”

Xue Biao's eyes widened and he didn't say anything.

Huo Wu didn't urge, picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine: "I sent someone to send a letter to Xiao Jiu!" ”

"Fifth brother...... Do you want to recruit Xiao Jiu ashore? Xue Biao immediately became nervous and said, "Xiao Jiu can't be restrained, I'm afraid I'm not happy." ”

"I don't recruit him, I want a boat!" Huo Wudao.

"Fifth brother is for Xiaobao? Xiaobao's idea just now was the idea of the fifth brother? ”

"That's not true! I want the world to be unstable, so I prepare first, and it is inconvenient to cross the river if there is something in the province...... I didn't expect Xiaobao to think about making money, which was just right. ”

"Back Road...... Is it Binjiang? Xue Biao twisted his brows and thought for a while, and suddenly realized.

Huo Wu didn't answer, nor did he deny it, but just poured Xue Biao another glass of wine.

"I ......" Xue Biao only felt that his throat was dry.

"If you occupy the place, it is the territory of our brothers, you can toss it!" Huo Wudao.

"Fifth brother...... What about Xiaobao? ”

"Lao Deng has taken a fancy to Xiaobao, Xiaobao stays in Quyang!" Huo Wu was a little unhappy and said, "Hmph! I want Xiaobao to be my son-in-law, I want to be beautiful, so I told him to lose his daughter and break his army! ”

Xue Biao was slightly relieved, but he endured his excitement and said, "Fifth brother...... Let me think about it......"

"Don't think about it for too long, if you miss the siege, you will have to pay for the 50,000 silver you will have to pay for in your own pocket!" Huo Wudai said with a smile.

Xue Biao nodded vigorously: "I'll call back to the fifth brother tomorrow!" ”

"Good! Good! No matter how you choose, after drinking the fifth brother's wine just now, everything ahead will be turned over! Catch up with Ming'er and meet the sixth and eighth, let them also compensate you! ”

Xue Biao hurriedly waved his hand: "It's not a big deal, don't mention this!" ”

specifically said this, and it was rare to mention the events of the year, which made people feel uncomfortable.

Huo Bao sent people back, and the two brothers were already drunk, hooking their shoulders and backs, talking about the past.

"Fifth brother, I'm hungry, the oysters on our island are so fresh!"

"The red shellfish is also delicious, the scallop is fresh and sweet, and the tender ones are going to lose their tongues."

"Woooooooooo......oo I always dream that my grandfather is buried on the island, I should go back to worship, but I dare not go back, I am an unfilial grandson......"

"Who doesn't want to, the most alive days in this life are at that time."

"The Ninth Master is fierce...... Xue Biao shuddered: "He shaved the Seventh Master for several days...... The seventh master howls scary! ”

"Xiao Jiu went to the island without remembering, and several brothers grew up in their arms...... Even if he scrapes Lao Qi, he can't solve the hatred in his heart! ”

"Ninth Master, I'm afraid of people's ......"

"Don't be afraid, next time he comes, let him toast you, you are his seventh brother!"

"I'm the seventh...... I'm the Seventh Brother......" Xue Biao opened his tongue wide, and his eyes were straight.

Huo Wu drank the last drop of wine, and his body shook a little.

Huo Bao hurriedly stepped forward to help, and beckoned two guys to help Xue Biao.

In the middle of the night, it was not convenient to go back to the county barracks, so Huo Bao sent two people to the guest room.

Huo Bao thought that his father was pretending to be drunk, but he could see that he was lying on the bed and humming in his mouth, so he knew that he was really drunk, so he hurriedly took off his coat and shoes, and helped wipe his face before sitting on the edge of the bed.

He pondered what he had just heard, but he guessed seven, seven, eight, eight.

There is an island, which should be the one that my father said before that you can escape from the sea in Matsue.

Xue Biao's grandfather was an islander.

There are two old sevens, and there is a small nine, and the previous one was scratched by the little nine.

Xiao Jiu scraped the former seven for several brothers, but I don't know which one of them is one, two, three, or four.

Daddy didn't mention the previous thing in front of him, but this time it was exposed.

Tonight, the old thing is brought up again, and my father's purpose is to win over Xue Biao and prepare for the operation of Binjiang, but this is also uncomfortable.

In the future, I don't have to worry about asking my dad about it.

Let the past pass.

*

Next door room.

Xue Biao lay on the bed, slowly opened his eyes, and saw the tent with red embroidery patterns, and couldn't help but shiver.

More than ten years have passed, and when I think of the island, it seems that there is still a man's howl in my ears, and there is overwhelming blood in front of my eyes.

The two earthen dogs, wagging their tails, ate the slices of meat thrown on the ground one by one, one bite at a time......
