The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became a little heavy, and Su Xiaoqi's words seemed to make the whole room freeze.

Seeing the couple's reaction, Su Xiaoqi felt a little uneasy in his heart, that feeling was indescribable, but in the past two years, countless brushes with death have made his perception of the crisis extremely keen.

Could it really be as he guessed, Su Rufan's death, the Jiang family not only knows, but also has some unknown connections?

Jiang Liuxue, who was covered in snow-white, could be described as empathetic, and opened her mouth to break the silence: "Seventh brother, didn't your father die when he went to challenge Haotian Sect?"

The corners of Su Xiaoqi's mouth curled slightly, and he said with a smile: "Yes, but my father, a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, dares to challenge Haotian Sect, I really can't understand it." ”

He suddenly looked at Jiang Fan, and his tone became particularly slow, "I always feel that there must be some reason for him to go to Haotian Sect." ”

Jiang Fan nodded suddenly: "If you say this, it's not impossible to do so. ”

He fell into thought, and after a long time, he raised his head and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely ask someone to find out about this matter, and see why Brother Su knows that there are tigers in the mountains and prefers to go to the tiger mountains?"

Su Xiaoqi suddenly got up, hugged his fists and said, "In this way, there will be Uncle Lao Jiang." The junior said goodbye first, thanks to Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang for their hospitality. ”

The woman stood up suddenly, and said reluctantly: "Why do you have to leave, I haven't been to my aunt's house for so many years, since I came, why don't you stay for a while?"

Jiang Fan also got up and said: "Who said no, speaking of which, you haven't been here for several years, I have been busy with official business, and I don't have time to see you, so it's better to stay, and I'll let someone clean up the yard for you." Besides, you haven't been back for two years, and you don't have anything at home, so how can you live? ”

Jiang Liuxue also stood up, with a little shyness and reluctance, and said in a low voice: "Seventh brother, you just stay, you haven't told me what earth-shattering things you have done in the past two years." ”

Su Xiaoqi has always refused politely, and after coming and going, the family of three enthusiastically sent Su Xiaoqi to the door, and watched Su Xiaoqi disappear into the snowy night, and then turned around and walked back to the mansion.

Jiang Fan put his hands on his sleeves and asked, "Xue'er, how is this?"

Jiang Liuxue was stunned for a moment, and then said slowly: "It's no different from ordinary poor children, they are obviously humble, but they have to pretend to be modest, it seems that only in this way can they seem to have a little backbone, but don't they know that the so-called backbone can't be eaten?"

With that, he looked at his father.

Jiang Fan shook his head lightly and did not speak.

Seeing her father shaking her head, Jiang Liuxue frowned and said, "Dad, am I not right?"

Jiang Fan moved forward and said indifferently: "You said it well, but it's not entirely true. Haven't you noticed that he is actually just a mortal body strength? ”

He didn't wait for Jiang Liuxue to answer, so he continued: "A mortal body mirror, but from the inside out, there is a killing aura, if you don't often fight for life and death, it is difficult to have this kind of aura. So if a mortal body can survive the constant struggle, it is obviously not as simple as it seems, at least not stupid. ”

After Jiang Liuxue listened, she swallowed back the words that came to her mouth, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, with a hint of indifference and disdainful indifference.

At this time, the woman suddenly said, "Xue'er, you go back to the house first, I have something to say to your father." ”

After Jiang Liuxue left, the woman looked left and right, then pulled her husband into the house and closed the door tightly.

In the room, the lights are brilliant, but there is a sense of oppression.

Jiang Fan frowned and said, "What's wrong with you, what do you want to tell me?"

The woman's eyes rolled slightly, and then she said in a deep voice: "I always feel that this kid has something to say, maybe he already knows the cause of his father's death." ”

Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said: "What do I think is the matter, what if he knows, a poor boy, what kind of wind and waves can he stir up?"

The woman pursed her lips and snorted: "Yes, you are the high-ranking Jiang City Lord, so naturally you won't take him to heart, but have you ever thought that Xue'er has a marriage contract with him, although it is only a verbal agreement with the old man, but who dares to guarantee that this kid will not go around saying that at that time, Xue'er's reputation will be gone?"

Jiang Fan was taken aback, then felt a little creepy, his eyes narrowed, and he nodded: "If you say that, there is really this possibility, in case he knows the truth of the matter, and because of his own low strength, he will naturally start with Xue'er, people like them can really do anything." ”

The woman said in a dark voice, "Therefore, this boy must not stay." ”

Jiang Fan hesitated: "But ......"

The woman interrupted: "Come on, I know that the reputation of your Jiang City Lord is more important than the reputation of your daughter, and I will deal with this matter to ensure that no one will suspect you, the City Lord." ”

Jiang Fan grinned and said: "Look at what Madame said, I must care about Xue'er's reputation, but Madame can think about me like this, I, Jiang Fan, am really a blessing from my previous life, so that I can marry Madame such a virtuous and virtuous wife." ”

He then said solemnly: "You can't let Xue'er know about this matter, there are some things that she still doesn't get involved in." ”

The woman nodded, and down there were whispers between husband and wife.

......

......

Night.

The snow is smaller, but the cold wind is more biting.

At this time, many people should stay by the fire at home, roasting the red charcoal fire, dozing off, but on a big willow tree by the roadside, there is a little girl in a heavy cotton jacket and a big lantern in her hand.

From time to time, the little girl looked south, until the night blocked her vision, and she put her toes on her toes, but no matter how much she stepped on her feet, she could only see the distance before, and it was a vast night ahead after all.

She was actually very cold, and her hand holding the lantern was almost unconscious, but she just didn't want to go back, she always told herself in her heart that Brother Xiaoqi wouldn't lie to her, but she was just worried, so she was very anxious.

It didn't take long for her to finally make up her mind to follow the path to find Brother Xiaoqi, what if Brother Xiaoqi couldn't walk fast because it was too dark?

She made up her mind to jump off the big willow tree, but when she saw that it was too high, she was a little timid, and if she wanted to slide down the trunk, she had to stretch out her hands, and she had to give up the lantern.

This time, she was even more anxious, she couldn't do anything, and finally she was so anxious that she cried.

Extremely sad.

"If you cry like this, you're going to cry out the ghosts in the river. ”

Just when she was heartbroken, a voice suddenly came from her ear, a familiar voice.

She really didn't dare to cry, and the first time she didn't look for the sound, but at the water of the Rhine, and she didn't see the so-called ghost queen before she looked at the person who spoke.

In the faint light of the lantern, she saw the clean face that had been waiting, and she should have been happy, but for some reason she cried even more sadly.

Su Xiaoqi's face was full of helplessness, and his eyes looked at a brightly lit room on the bank of the river, and only after seeing that there was no movement in that room, he put his mind at ease.

If the old man hears it, he has to say that he bullied his granddaughter, and he can't pick up a cigarette stick and chase after him?

This kind of hardship, I didn't eat less before, don't look at the old guy who seems to be weak, but chasing and killing himself is really a swift and fierce, over the years, Su Xiaoqi has not escaped the cigarette stick in his hand once.

Su Xiaoqi looked up at the heartbroken little girl, and said softly: "Don't cry, your grandfather will hear it if you cry again." ”

The little girl really stopped crying, and raised her head at once and wiped her face, for fear that someone would see her crying.

Su Xiaoqi continued: "Come down, I'll send you home." ”

The little girl said aggrievedly: "Gao, I'm afraid." ”

Su Xiaoqi was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart, "Dead girl, why don't you know that you are afraid when you climb up?" But he still stretched out a hand and said, "Give me the lantern first, and then jump down, and I'll pick you up." ”

The little girl nodded happily, "Hey!"

The lantern in her hand was thrown out directly, and after seeing Su Xiaoqi catch the lantern properly, she jumped down.

By the Rhine River, Su Xiaoqi held a lantern in his left hand and held the little girl's hand in his right hand, and reminded him while walking: "Don't tell your grandfather that you are crying when you go back, otherwise he will have to beat me again." ”

The little girl nodded suddenly, and swore solemnly: "No, the little seventh brother just came back, can't you let grandpa beat you away, where can I find it then?"

Su Xiaoqi said with a smile: "Then don't wipe the tears off your face, like a little cat, go back like this, I didn't bully you, it became me bullying you." ”

The little girl hurriedly stretched out her hand to wipe it, and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Su Xiaoqi stopped, squatted down, and gently wiped her tears.

The little girl suddenly asked, "Little Seventh Brother, you have been outside for the past two years, and you have not been bullied, have you?"

Su Xiaoqi said casually: "Who can bully your Xiaoqi brother, it's not bad if I don't bully them." ”

The little girl smiled, "That's right." ”

It's just that she quickly smiled and said in a low voice: "But Little Seventh Brother, if someone really bullies you, you must tell me, I will definitely take Ah Huang to avenge you, and I will let Ah Huang bite him to death when the time comes." ”

She smiled slyly, "Little Seventh Brother, you don't know, Ah Huang has been fierce in the past two years, and even Li Xiaobing's big wolf dog is not an opponent." ”

Su Xiaoqi pretended to be surprised and said, "It's really so powerful, you didn't brag?"

The little girl was a little weak-hearted, hehe laughed to cover up the past, and immediately shook her head and promised: "Really, I didn't lie to you." So, if someone is bullying you, you have to tell me. ”

Su Xiaoqi nodded lightly and said softly, "Definitely!"

The little girl groped in her arms for a while, then took out a big steamed bun and grinned: "Little Seventh Brother must not have eaten, this is what I specially left for you secretly, my grandfather doesn't know, eat quickly." ”

Su Xiaoqi took the steamed bun and said, "I'm hungry." ”

The little girl laughed and watched the little seventh brother gobble up, she was very happy.

Su Xiaoqi was also very happy.

He ate steamed buns and looked at the little girl with a smile on her face.

It's nice to see you again, it's good!
