Volume 1 Sword Out of Fengqi 004 Woman, Dog Leftover, and Xu Lai (II)
Steward Li came to Xu to kiss him, and he naturally thought that Xu Lai's attitude of working diligently all along.
As for why Xu Lai has always kept silent on this family business, no one knows what he thinks.
It's been three years. His body had almost recovered, but the realm was still 108,000 miles away. Three years can also restore him to the strength of a cultivator in the Cave Realm.
The cave secluded realm, among the cultivators, is the lowest and lowest level of cultivators.
Xu Lai pushed open the door and walked out.
Although the strength is low, it is also relative to the powerful person who soars through the clouds. For ordinary people, the power of a cultivator in the Cave Realm is like the difference between the sea and a mayfly.
Xu Lai's eyes were calm, and he didn't react excessively, but his eyes were surprisingly bright and bright.
Although he spoke very little, I don't know when the residents of Trois-Rivières Town began to feel more and more that this young man was different, and he just stood there, giving people a different feeling.
Xu Lai lowered his head, but his upper body did not move at all, straight as the hardest pine and cypress.
"Steward Lee!"
Steward Li liked Xu Lai more and more, and he just wanted to have another daughter. But this kid didn't glance at his distant niece, and snorted angrily, "Xu Lai, the old man asked you, in the past three years, the old man has treated you badly." ”
"Not yet. ”
"Can I take less care of the Chen family?"
"Nope. ”
"In that case, why are you so disdainful of my distant niece, don't you think my niece is not worthy of you? Could it be that you still regard your Xu as Your Majesty's Xu? Do you have to marry an official and dignitary?"
There are many people with the surname Xu in the world.
Throughout the ages, there have been many people who have carried forward the surname "Xu".
But if the most famous "Xu" is said, there is no doubt that in today's Zhou Dynasty, no other surname can compare to this surname.
Xu is the surname of the royal family in the current Great Zhou Dynasty.
Speaking of the back, it seems that even Steward Li himself felt that what he said was a bit mysterious, and he couldn't help but laugh dumbly. Royalty, that's such a distant and hazy concept. "Boy, opportunities don't come all the time. There aren't many young people who can make me fancy it, and you're the only one. Although my niece is not very beautiful, she is also a person who has read books, and she can do embroidery, isn't it much better than you being alone all day long?"
Xu Lai was silent.
He didn't speak, but people like Gou Yu and Steward Li, who were familiar with his character, already understood his attitude.
The smile on Steward Li's face gradually solidified, and his face slowly turned cold.
Gou Yu felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he knew that Steward Li's ability was not something Xu Lai could provoke, so he quietly pulled Xu Lai's sleeve, "Brother Xu." ”
After three years of delay, three years of avoidance, and three years of recovery, Xu Lai has never given a clear answer to this question.
But today, it's time for him to feel like he's going to have to give an answer.
"I'm sorry, I can't. ”
He gave the answer.
Steward Li nodded, not as angry as he imagined, but his tone was much more relaxed. "Why are you in such a hurry to give an answer and stop thinking about it?"
"I don't think about it. ”
"Why?"
Xu Lai thought about it seriously, it was extremely rare to be able to make him think about something so hard, so that his brows furrowed slightly. In the eyes of outsiders, this action just means that he is unhappy at this time, which is equivalent to a disguised expression of dislike for Steward Li's distant niece.
Steward Li was not angry, Xu Lai had been a carpenter in his mansion for three years, and he knew Xu Lai's character.
After thinking for a while, Xu Lai gave a satisfactory and pertinent answer.
"I'm leaving. ”
"Let's go?"
Steward Li raised his eyebrows, he was old, but his head was still active, and he quickly understood what Xu Lai meant. After a moment of silence, he said with some bitterness, "When?"
"Soon. ”
It was only at this time that people knew that Steward Li did not seem to have come to the door to ask for guilt today. At the same time, they also remembered that Xu Lai, he was not from Three Rivers Town.
Xu Lai has lived in Sanhe Town for more than three years, he doesn't talk much, and his sense of presence is not very strong. But people have long been accustomed to the young man who goes to Steward Li's house to do carpentry during the day and comes back in the evening to help the dog leftover mother kiss some straw shoes and sell straw mats.
Subconsciously, people have long regarded him as a part of the town of Three Rivers. It was only at this time that someone recalled the scene three years ago from the depths of their memory, Xu Lai fell on the streets of Sanhe Town covered in blood.
The dog left his mouth wide open, obviously not reacting for a while, obviously, Xu Lai didn't even tell him about this news.
Steward Li was silent again.
He touched his body, took out a small cloth bag, and then put the small cloth bag in Xu Lai's hand with a little trembling hands. In a voice that only the two of them could hear, he said, "I've been here since I was younger, and I can probably guess what you're thinking." ”
After a pause, he added, "This is Trois-Rivières Town, and I have not seen many young people, but there are many excellent young people, but most of them are dead. Some died because of military exploits, some died because of the Wu clan, and some were a momentary battle of will, so brave and ruthless, and finally died. I've always thought these young people were very good, because this is the town of Trois-Rivières. ”
The town of Trois-Rivières has a small foreign population, and it is a kind of courage in itself to be here.
"Of all the young people I have seen over the years, you are the most determined, the least talkative, but the most capable of doing things. If you talk too much, sometimes it will invite disaster, so it's good that you can go further. I thought that with my distant niece, and some dowry, I could keep you. I saw you when you were carried back by Gou Yu and his mother, and I have seen so many young people die that I can't bear to let you die too. ”
"I don't know exactly where you're going, in the wilderness or somewhere else, but it's certainly not going to be easy. You have worked for me for three years, and these treasures should be a little bit of my heart. ”
After three years of carpentering, Xu Lai has never taken the initiative to ask for wages, and Manager Li has never taken the initiative to default on wages. But even all the wages in the past three years are not as much as this small bag in hand.
His divine sense could sense that there were gold coins inside.
Of course, it wasn't just gold coins that he sensed at this moment......
There were also two, which broke through the air, almost tearing the air apart with a whistling sound.
