Volume II, Chapter 50: The Apex

When Xiao Chen woke up, it was already past the Festival of Lights, and despite this, there were still lanterns hanging up and down the Lin family.

Xiao Chen stood up, he felt a terrible headache, he raised his eyes, and saw the bright sunshine in front of the window. Xiao Chen raised his hand to cover the sun, and his heart suddenly felt a little happy.

"Xiao Chen, you're awake. Lin Xiaoge pushed the door in, saw Xiao Chen wake up, and hurriedly stepped forward.

Xiao Chen showed a faint smile.

"How do you feel?" Lin Xiaoge asked, "Do you feel better?"

"Hmm. Xiao Chen replied, "I have a headache." ”

"It's okay, you've been in a coma for so long, it's normal to have a headache. After that, Lin Xiaoge checked Xiao Chen's pulse again, and then said: "This time the injury is very serious, and I still need to rest for a while." ”

"Hmm. Xiao Chen replied.

"Do you know, among so many people in the family at that time, you were the only one who dared to fight against Shen Bifu, even Ouyang Yinzheng didn't dare, and now the people in the family admire you very much. Lin Xiaoge said with a smile.

"Little Ge. Du Qingzhou didn't know when she appeared at the door, she smiled and said, "Xiaoge, you go and see if the medicine is good, and ask Xiao Gongzi to take the medicine." ”

"Good. Lin Xiaoge stood up.

"Xiao Gongzi. Du Qingzhou sat down on the chair next to Xiao Chen's bed, and she spoke: "Does Gongzi want to go back to Xiao's house to live, or continue to live in the Lin family?"

"What do you mean, Madame?" asked Xiao Chen.

"Now Childe's injury is not completely healed, the Lin family has been known for medicine and medical skills since ancient times, if Childe stays in the Lin family, it can be better treated. Du Qingzhou said.

"Then it depends on Madame's will. Xiao Chen said.

"Mr. Ouyang has bluntly stated that he will allow you to marry Xiaoge, and hopes to take you as an apprentice. Du Qingzhou's voice couldn't hear joy or anger.

"What do you think, Madame?" Xiao Chen frowned slightly and asked.

"Since Childe asked like this, then I will be honest with Childe. Du Qingzhou paused and said: "The family is now strong on the outside, and scattered on the inside, no one is willing to sacrifice their own interests, and Xiao Gongzi showed great strength when he fought against Shen Bifu, I am afraid that at this time it has already attracted jealousy, Xiao Gongzi still don't have too much intersection with the Ouyang family." ”

"That's what Madame said. Xiao Chen frowned slightly.

"Childe, I'm afraid I don't believe what I say, but Childe, the only one in the family who treats you sincerely is the Lin family. Du Qingzhou said.

"I am very grateful to Lin. Xiao Chen said, with no expression on his face.

"Okay, you also clean up, Mr. Ouyang said that you will see him as soon as you wake up. Du Qingzhou said.

Xiao Chen stepped on the steps of the Ouyang family, Ouyang Yin Zheng did not live with the Ouyang family, he lived alone in the mountains, and the Ouyang family opened a house in the mountains and built several houses.

Ouyang Yin was standing at the door, he changed out of his black suit, wore a black robe, and his gray hair was neatly combed.

Xiao Chen got out of the car, and Ouyang Yinzheng stretched out his hand to support him: "Xiao Chen, you finally woke up, I have been worried about you for a long time." ”

"Thank you, sir. Xiao Chen bowed respectfully.

"Let's go, let's go in. Ouyang Yin was holding Xiao Chen's shoulders and walking into the house, and after taking a few steps, he turned around and said to Lin's driver: "You go back first, tell your master, and I will find someone to send Xiao Chen back later." ”

"Yes. The driver answered.

Ouyang Yin and Xiao Chen were walking towards the mountain hut, to Xiao Chen's surprise, the furnishings in the hut were very simple, and it was a little shabby compared to the Lin family's manor, only an old man was trembling and chopping wood.

"Please come in. Ouyang Yinzheng and Xiao Chen entered the room and sat down at the table, the table was also a very ordinary wooden table, Ouyang Yinzheng poured a cup of tea for Xiao Chen, the tea was very ordinary tartary buckwheat tea.

Xiao Chen took a sip of tea, and Ouyang Yinzheng spoke: "Xiao Chen, you saved my life, I should thank you well." ”

"This is what I should do for my family. Xiao Chen replied.

"You're a good boy. Ouyang Yinzheng smiled, "It's a little similar to me before." ”

"It's my pleasure. Xiao Chen replied.

"When I used to be, I was also so sincere and wanted to pursue the light. Ouyang Yin Zheng smiled.

"How dare I compare with my husband. Xiao Chen took a sip of tea.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the mountains to have a look. Ouyang Yinzheng smiled and picked up the black cane and black coat beside him.

Ouyang Yin was wearing a black coat and a cane, still walking like flying, Xiao Chen was following behind, he was also wearing a black coat, at this moment, the plants on the mountain had died, and only a little yellow dead grass grew on the ground.

Ouyang Yin Zheng climbed up the mountainside in three times and two times, and the wind and mountain peaks blew his hair and clothes. Ouyang Yinzheng looked tough, and he seemed to be very different from when he fought against Shen Bifu that day.

There was a little white snow on the mountain, Ouyang Yin was climbing all the way up, Xiao Chen followed behind him, and soon, the two of them climbed to the top of the mountain.

The mountain is not a well-known mountain, it is not too high, and there is a thin layer of snow on the top. Ouyang Yinzheng stretched out his hand to pat the snow on the stone and motioned for Xiao Chen to sit down and rest.

"Sir, sit. Xiao Chen said.

Ouyang Yin Zheng smiled, sat down on the stone, and then said, "Come, you sit here." ”

Xiao Chen sat next to Ouyang Yinzheng, and Ouyang Yinzheng smiled: "Look in the distance." ”

Xiao Chen looked into the distance, surrounded by mountains and mountains, Xiao Chen tried his best to look far away, but his vision was blocked by those tall mountain ranges.

"It's not what I imagined. Ouyang Yin Zheng said with a smile. "You think you can see beautiful scenery, but in reality, you can't see anything. ”

Xiao Chen didn't speak.

Ouyang Yinzheng continued: "When you work hard, keep working hard, give up everything, and reach the top, you find that you actually have nothing. ”

"Why did you say that, sir?" Xiao Chen asked in a low voice.

Ouyang Yinzheng was silent for a moment and said, "You know, I'm actually an illegitimate child like you. He stood up, crouched down on the edge of the cliff, and reached out to stroke the weeds on the ground.

"I'm an unwilling person. Ouyang Yin Zheng sighed, "For money, fame, and status, I returned to Ouyang's house, returned to this world that does not belong to me, where I experienced a lot of pain, whether it was contempt or ridicule, I endured it, and tried my best to finally reach my current position, but I found that I still had nothing." ”

"Sir actually has a lot of things. Xiao Chen whispered comfortingly.

"No, alas, none of these things are what I want. Ouyang Yinzheng didn't look up.
