Chapter 17: The Man is Red

Duan Wuyan laughed self-deprecatingly in place, while Duan Shiqing, the old man of the Duan family, suddenly calmed down again after being ecstatic for a while, and looked at Duan Wuyan with a slight frown. And Duan Wuyan also frowned and looked at his father, who was suddenly happy and suddenly silent.

Second Aunt Zhang had already gone to the street to buy vegetables at this time.

Chen Changtian, who has always been empathetic, saw that Duan's father and son were embarrassed, so he said in a conciliatory tone: "When everything is settled, there is a solution." The two of you may wish to talk more about the old days, talk about your heart, and believe that the problem will be solved. I won't stay here for now, if Master Duan doesn't mind and trusts Chang Lean, Chang Tan will walk around the yard. ”

Duan Shiqing smiled happily at Chen Changtian and said, "Although Daochang Chen is taking a walk at Duan's house, if you have any needs, tell your family." When the banquet begins, someone will come to invite Daochang Chen. ”

Chen Chang clasped his hands into fists and said, "Thank you Master Duan for your hospitality." ”

Duan Shiqing said with a smile: "It is his blessing that Wuyan can get this beneficial friend, and I hope that Chen Daochang can take care of the children more in the future." ”

As soon as the word "child" came out in Duan Shiqing's words, Duan Wuyan almost burst into tears. Since Duan Wuyan was kicked out of the Duan family, he has lived a full three months of life when pigs and dogs are not as good as dogs. In the past three months, he thought about going home, thought about completely ending the relationship with the Duan family, and even thought about getting around the corner...... Now, Duan Shiqing's mere two words are enough to make Duan Wuyan return to Duan's house.

Even if he was wronged, shed thousands of tears, and was full of injuries, at this moment, it was just a green smoke, scattered with the west wind.

Duan Wuyan hated Duan Shiqing, and he also hated everyone in the Duan family.

However, as soon as Duan Wuyan stepped on the slow and long road he was about to face, all that was left in Duan Wuyan's heart was nothing but reluctance to the Duan family, and he only sighed.

Duan Shiqing later said something to Chen Changtian, but Duan Wuyan couldn't hear it anymore. The scene of the past floated in his eyes like a trance. Maybe Duan Wuyan still didn't understand Duan Shiqing, but when he was about to separate, the knot in his heart became the thing he didn't want to solve the most.

Chen Changtian slowly left, his figure disappearing from the corner of a corridor.

Duan Wuyan came back to his senses and couldn't help but smile bitterly at Duan Shiqing.

Duan Shiqing's eyes were closed lightly, as if he was recalling something, and after a long time, Duan Shiqing slowly spoke, but his eyes were still lightly closed, and he only heard Duan Shiqing ask Duan Wuyan softly, "How much do you hate me in your heart?"

"If it weren't your blood, I'd kill you. Duan Wuyan frowned, his lips moved, and his face turned pale.

When Duan Shiqing heard this, he suddenly laughed at himself, tears flowed from the corners of his closed eyes, and fell along the wrinkles towards the dust on the Duan family's ground.

Duan Shiqing sighed slightly and said, "No wonder." I have always spoiled your eldest brother and second brother, and as soon as you were born, I took very strict care of you, beat you to the door several times, forced you to study, and forced you to do what you didn't want to do. You hate me, and you hate me. ”

Duan Wuyan gritted his teeth and said, "In the past twenty years, I have suffered more grievances than my eldest brother and second brother combined. Is it because my mother died when I was born that you have always treated me like this? ”

Duan Shiqing sighed: "It's not because of your mother that I have been wronged by you, but because of your mother, I have to put down other things in the family and discipline you." ”

Duan Wuyan's face was already pale at this time, his teeth were rattling, and he couldn't say a word.

Duan Shiqing's eyes opened slightly, and he smiled bitterly at Duan Wuyan and said, "I am more than sixty this year, and you are also in your early twenties." When you were born, your mother and I were both forty years old. ”

Duan Wuyan didn't know this? Duan Wuyan remembered that his mother died when she gave birth to herself. Every time Duan Shiqing used a bamboo pole to hit Duan Wuyan, Duan Wuyan would shout: "If my mother were still here!, you would never beat me like this!" But the more Duan Wuyan shouted like this, the heavier Duan Shiqing's attack became.

Duan Shiqing said slowly: "After your mother gave birth to your eldest brother and second brother, her body was already weak. In addition, when she conceived you, she was already forty years old, and if she insisted on giving birth to you, then your mother and her might be in danger. ”

Duan Shiqing's eyes were faintly glowing with a soft light: "At that time, we all persuaded her to let her take the safflower, and the third child was forgotten." But...... Your mother refuses. I was so angry that I forced your mother to drink the bowl of safflower soup. Your mother and I grew up as childhood sweethearts. At that time, I would rather have less flesh and blood than less her. ”

When Duan Wuyan heard this, he still gritted his teeth and held back tears. His heart is competing, he just doesn't accept his father, he just wants to tell Duan Shiqing, I, Duan Wuyan, will never shed tears because of these things you said, and will never flow in front of you.

Duan Shiqing's voice trembled suddenly: "But your mother just wants to give birth to you, saying that if we dare to force her again, she will simply die." That bowl of safflower soup spread the whole bed, and the green silk suddenly turned red. ”

"We can't do anything about your mother, so we can only go and ask for the best Langzhong, the best midwife. However, on the day of the birth, the bed was dyed red again. But this time, it was your mother's blood that stained the mattress red......"

With tears on his face, Duan Shiqing asked Duan Wuyan, "Do you know where you got your name?"

Duan Wuyan's lips had been bitten by himself at this time, and as soon as the corners of his eyes were wet, Duan Wuyan wiped them dry with his sleeve.

Duan Shiqing saw that Duan Wuyan didn't answer for a long time, and then said to himself: "Your name is Duan Wuyan, and your mother's surname is 'Yan'."

Duan Shiqing said sadly: "I swore in front of the tablet of your ancestors and ancestors, saying that I must make you worthy of your ancestors and your mother." Since then, I have been strict with you. But you are very playful, and the more I beat you, the more you will not listen to me. Later, you got into a gambling habit, and I was so angry that I kicked you out. But as long as you are outside, I will think of your mother one day. But every time you are bullied in front of the Duan family, I wonder if you can quit gambling, if you are still not angry, how can I be worthy of my ancestors?"

Duan Wuyan reluctantly smiled and asked Duan Shiqing, "What about now?"

"Although I don't know where you and Daochang Chen are going and what to do. But anyway, when you are with him, my hanging heart can be put down a lot. Duan Shiqing replied slowly.

Duan Wuchang exhaled and said slowly, "Forget it! I still have my own mission." Even if you don't tell me about this today, I don't bother to think about those things again. I don't know when I'll be back. Anyway, don't forget, I, Duan Wuyan, was born to my mother, and the Duan family still has me. ”

After speaking, Duan Wuyan was about to turn around and leave. Duan Wuyan knew that no matter what he did now, Duan Shiqing would only feel relieved at most. But as long as he has made a great cause, rescued the common people, separated the two worlds, and dispersed the fire in Chen Chang's body, he will be able to return to Xingzhou with his eyebrows raised. At that time, he Duan Wuyan will be the great hero of the world and the pride of Xingzhou.

"Boy!" Duan Shiqing's voice suddenly sounded behind Duan Wuyan: "Drink a glass of wine with me!"

Duan Wuyan was slightly stunned, turned his head and smiled, and said, "Cheng." ”

Duan Shiqing took Duan Wuyan to the backyard of the Duan family, and under a tree, Duan Shiqing personally dug out a jar of wine under the tree.

Duan Shiqing smiled: "Originally, I thought that the next one I would have would be a daughter. I didn't expect it to be a stinky boy! This wine was brewed on your birthday, and it stands to reason that it should be the altar daughter red, but now I look at it, hahahahaha!"

Duan Wuyan couldn't help laughing and said, "Hahahaha! If I were really a daughter, I wouldn't be so miserable!"

Duan Shiqing opened the mud seal of the altar wine, and suddenly the entire courtyard was filled with the mellow aroma of wine.

Duan Shiqing dipped his fingers slightly and tasted it slightly, but he didn't think that this wine was surprisingly fragrant, and Duan Shiqing was a little drunk when he arrived.

I only heard Duan Shiqing ask loudly: "If you were my daughter, would you want to kill me!"

Duan Wuyan didn't think about it, and immediately responded: "Kill!"

Duan Shiqing couldn't help but be stunned, and turned his head to look at Duan Wuyan.

Duan Wuyan suddenly laughed, and his laughter was extremely hearty, like white clouds and clear water, and the wind blew the forest.

Seeing this, Duan Shiqing couldn't help but laugh.

There were many guests at the banquet that night. And when the guests arrived, Old Man Duan was already drunk with his youngest son in the backyard.

After the guests learned of this, they all went to the backyard with wine to pay tribute to Duan Shiqing with great interest.

After the banquet dispersed, Duan Shiqing and Duan Wuyan were still in the backyard. Second Aunt Zhang saw that the two of them were enjoying themselves, so she fried a few side dishes for the two.

Duan Shiqing and Duan Wuyan were talking and laughing in the backyard, drinking happily. And the haze of twenty years was also dissipated in that glass of wine.

At dawn the next day, Duan Shiqing woke up to find that he was already lying in his room.

After asking again, I learned that Duan Wuyan had been on the road with Chen Chang early in the morning, saying that there was something important to do.

Duan Shiqing couldn't help but sigh slightly, he originally wanted to leave Duan Wuyan with more silver to entangle, but he didn't expect that this Wuyan would leave without saying goodbye and leave in a hurry.

Duan Shiqing stayed and put on his shoes, preparing to play two sets of punches in the courtyard to dissipate his wine.

But as soon as Duan Shiqing got off the bed, he saw a note on his desk.

The note read: "Duan Wuyan, a faceless child, borrowed a hundred taels of silver without permission and used it as a basis." I want to know. ”

Duan Shiqing couldn't help but smile and wanted to tear the note with his hand. How can any son use money to be counted as borrowing?

But Duan Shiqing thought about it again, this stinky boy didn't leave any thoughts, so let's keep this note first.

Duan Shiqing folded the note left by Wuyan and stuffed it into his sleeve......

On the street in the early morning, Chen Changtian pulled Duan Wuyan and ran away.

Duan Wuyan asked loudly, "What are you doing, what are you doing, what are you doing in such a hurry!"

Chen Chang said: "It's too late to explain to you!

Duan Wuyan was suddenly unhappy in his heart. I drank a big meal of wine last night, and I was called up by Chen Changtian before the strength of the wine was gone. I ran more than a dozen streets on the street in a row, and in the end I didn't even know why.

Duan Wuyan shook off Chen Changtian violently and said loudly: "If you don't say anything, Lao Tzu won't leave!"

Chen Chang frowned, and said hurriedly: "The daughter of Zhao Jin's family is dead. ”
