Volume 1 The End of the World Chapter 24 People Are Not as Good as Heaven (II)

The third aunt hurriedly called the two maids to catch up, stood at the door and looked at Wu Ming's tall figure turning the corner of the house, and couldn't help sighing.

Wu Ming gave her a very good impression, although she had a cold temperament, but she was by no means rude, and the word Xie Lu Xie that she subconsciously said was surprising, she suddenly felt that Wu Ming was just like Wang Yuehan said, a deep man with a culture and a story, and a cold-faced and warm-hearted person.

But this judgment seems to be incompatible with Wu Ming's poor background, ruthless killing and ruthless behavior of constantly seeking revenge, which made the third aunt too deeply confused for a while, it stands to reason that Wu Ming has been growing up in a poor and remote Wujia village in the west of Shegong Mountain, and he dropped out of school after only two years of private school, so he should not have this kind of profound and resolute bearing!

In confusion, the two little maids ran to report breathlessly: "Third wife, when he arrived at the patio, he waved us away fiercely, and did not want us to serve, and we did not dare to go far, standing outside waiting for him to call, we heard a burst of rushing water, we hurriedly went in to see, I didn't expect him to stand naked by the well to take a cool water, shameful!" ”

"Oh my God! Such a cold day. ”

The third aunt opened her mouth in surprise, and after a while, she whispered: "Don't be afraid, he is not an unreasonable villain, do as he wishes, since he doesn't want you to wait, you can come back, quickly clean up the table in the house, light a few big candles, and the eldest young master's bedroom should also be lit, clean up well, be respectful to him, understand?" I'll come when I go. ”

"Understood."

Half an hour later, Wu Ming returned to the house with a holster, and saw the third aunt and Chen Jiyao sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals drinking tea, and couldn't help but stop.

Chen Jiyao and the third aunt saw Wu Ming, who was more upright in a young man's clothes, and quickly stood up, their eyes full of hope.

Wu Ming walked to them and sat down, casually put the belt with the gun on the table, and the two little maids immediately brought new black-faced rubber-soled cloth shoes, socks and dry towels, and wanted to wipe Wu Wei's feet and serve him to put on his shoes. Wu Ming grabbed the towel, waved his hand to let the two maids step back, dried their feet unhurriedly, put on thick and warm cotton socks, and felt very comfortable to put on the shoes and step on them twice, then he raised his head and brushed away his wet long hair.

"It's late, let's go tomorrow. Don't worry, the master has already ordered, and no one in the family goes out to chew his tongue. The third aunt smiled too concernedly.

Wu Ming couldn't figure out where he was going or where to go? And things have come to this point, he doesn't worry about safety at all, he just feels that he is out of place with this family, and he doesn't feel embarrassed at all, although there seems to be a little inexplicable emotion in his heart, but from the moment he puts away the gun, he seems to have seen everything.

The third aunt slowly put a cup of hot tea in front of Wu Ming, Wu Ming nodded slightly but did not pick it up, pointed to the plate of gold bars and the ocean on the table next to him and said: "Those gold and silver are counted, not less than five thousand oceans, right?" ”

Chen Jiyao looked at the plate of gold and silver, his eyes full of sour pain.

Who knows that Wu Ming continued: "I know that the Chen family has thousands of acres of fields and forests, six lime kilns outside the town, a yard and a few street shops in the city, and shares in the largest coal mine in Guangfeng. ”

Chen Jiyao was very surprised, looking at Wu Ming blankly, his mood was extremely complicated.

The third aunt was too stunned for a long time, and wanted to say a few beautiful words to ease the atmosphere, Wu Ming had already stood up, picked up the gun on the table and entered the north bedroom, without the slightest restraint and scruples, as if this was his own place.

Wu Ming entered the room, took off his shirt and tied his belt, and felt that it was very inappropriate for the gun holster to be exposed, so he simply took off the gun holster and threw it on the desk.

The holster slid for a while and knocked down a small frame, Wu Ming hurriedly went over to help him up, and saw the appearance of the soldier in the photo in the frame, and the whole person immediately quieted down.

Chen Jiyao and the third aunt looked at each other, and the third aunt saw Wu Ming picking up the photo frame on the desk in the back room and looking at the candlelight for a long time, so she whispered in Chen Jiyao's ear.

Chen Jiyao looked at the back room, sighed dejectedly, stood up and left silently with the third aunt.

The two returned to their bedrooms, it was late at night after washing, Chen Jiyao, who was lying on the bed, sighed one after another, he couldn't sleep, and when the third aunt in a cotton robe came in, he immediately asked anxiously: "How is that ancestor?" ”

The third aunt threw away the cotton robe and climbed into bed, and gently massaged her husband's temples: "I heard the little girl guarding outside the house say that he hasn't slept yet, and has been looking through the books and letters left by An'er, and from time to time he picked up An'er's photos and looked at them, alas! You say, if An'er were still alive, would they be good brothers? ”

Chen Jiyao's body suddenly stiffened, and old tears welled up when he brushed aside the hand of the third aunt: "He looks too much like An'er, too similar!" If he wasn't so cold, and then shaved off the stubble all over his face, I guess I would have treated him as An'er! ”

"Master, don't be sad, haven't you noticed that his attitude is much better? Who would have thought he would show mercy before? In my opinion, things are not so bad, maybe he will figure it out slowly, after all, you are his biological father! And if he killed Steward Wang, he would also avenge his mother, no matter what, he wouldn't do anything hurtful, master, you should think about the good. The third aunt was too gentle to comfort her husband.

Chen Jiyao nodded silently, put away his tears and pondered for a moment: "You say, can he understand the books left by An'er?" Just now, he actually mentioned in front of me the problem of the children of the poor families in the town, this is not simple, who would think of this, is he thinking of his past, and he has resentment? ”

The third aunt came to her senses, approached her husband and said earnestly: "Master, I think he is reasonable, in the early years, didn't you always donate money to fund education in the township and county?" Since you received the bad news from An'er, the whole person has not recovered, and you haven't looked at the school in the town in the past few years. Master, if we can, let's donate some money to support the poor children in the town and the surrounding areas, this is a good thing to cultivate yin virtue, and it can make the villagers appreciate you, it's better than spending the money elsewhere, right? ”

"Well, it seems that I've been really old and confused in the past few years!" Chen Jiyao nodded, and thought of Wu Ming in the West Courtyard again: "I'm afraid he will leave tomorrow, I really want to talk to him, no matter how I say it, it's my flesh and blood!" ”

The third aunt was too troubled by Wu Ming's cold attitude, so she had to whisper to appease, serve her husband to lie down, and thought in her heart how to find a way tomorrow morning, so that her husband and Wu Ming's father and son could have a few words, otherwise Wu Ming would leave, and I don't know when I would be able to meet each other, and when I would be able to completely end this grievance.

I don't know how long it took, in a daze, Chen Jiyao heard the soft cry of the third master of the housekeeper, and hurriedly got up, ran to open the door without wearing shoes, and found that the sky was already dark.

The third master handed over a piece of letterhead with both hands: "Big brother, he is gone, and no one knows what to say when he leaves, which is strange and scary." I went into the east room to check, and found this piece on the desk, and after reading it, I realized that he had sold us the spear and bullets for a hundred yuan, and I counted them, and there was exactly one hundred oceans missing from the tray. ”

Chen Jiyao took the slip tremblingly, the third aunt had already lit the candle with a match inside, Chen Jiyao hurriedly put the strip in the candlelight, and after reading it, he put down the strip and looked up to the sky and sighed: "He won't forgive me!" ”

The third aunt brought a coat and cotton shoes for her husband to wear, picked up the strip and carefully read the beautiful block letters on it, and looked at the sad husband worriedly after reading, and was full of emotion for a while, and I didn't know what to say.

Chen Jiyao waved his hand lightly, motioned for the third master to leave, returned to the bed with heavy steps, stood for a long time, and seemed to suddenly want to open, and even said a very surprising sentence in the third aunt's worried gaze: "This character is beautifully written!" I wondered, how could he write such beautiful words? ”

The third aunt really didn't know how to answer, so she comforted her husband not to think too much, and the two sat on the edge of the bed and talked in a low voice.

After a while, the voice of the third master came from outside the door again: "Big brother, Master Chengzong of Longhu Mountain suddenly came, and asked how the eldest brother is doing?" The younger brother didn't know what to say, so he had to lead Master Chengzong to the living room of the middle hall to wait. ”

Chen Jiyao hurriedly walked out of the hall and went to the middle hall with the third master.

Chengzong, who was covered in fog and looked uneasy, saw that Chen Jiyao was safe and sound, and finally let out a sigh of relief.

After greeting each other, Chengzong took out the letter from his uncle Bingzhen, Chen Jiyao hurriedly read it and hurriedly asked Chengzong to sit down, and explained the matter before and after and 1510, and Chengzong's face changed with emotion.

After drinking half a cup of hot tea, Chengzong shook his head and sighed: "The little nephew is still late, and he has no fate to see Brother Wu again, alas! But it's a blessing that it didn't cause a bigger tragedy, presumably Uncle Shi, like me, is glad for you, Uncle Chen! ”

Chen Jiyao was also deeply touched: "Yes, yes! I should be glad I did! At least there was no tragedy of father and son cannibalism, and the sky finally has eyes! ”

Chengzong comforted a few words in a harmonious voice, and said with a regretful face: "Brother Wu is well-read, intelligent, resolute, and has a clear distinction between good and evil, I don't know when he will see each other when he leaves, it's a pity!" However, Brother Wu can be regarded as having survived a wave of disasters, and he will definitely be able to ride the wind and waves to make great achievements. Don't hide it from Uncle Chen, when my uncle sent me down the mountain, he prophesied, saying that Brother Wu is the only genius he has seen in his life, and if he can get rid of his demons, his future future is limitless! ”

Chen Jiyao's eyes widened, staring at Chengzong, who was becoming more and more mature, and the light of expectation flashed in his eyes, as if he was several years younger in an instant.
