Chapter 53: Big Brother!
Xu Shizi and the people behind him also noticed Shen Yafei's gaze, and they all frowned in unison. Xu Shizi moved a small step to the left, blocking Shen Yafei's vision,
"Don't scream this lady, the little woman doesn't have any sister at home. Madame's habit of misidentifying her sisters is not good. Although Shen Yafei's words were said to Yan Yu, his eyes were looking in the direction of Xu Shizi with a smile.
Xu Shizi felt as if he was perceived by Shen Yafei's gaze, and he didn't like her kind of vision very much, so he left in a hurry with the people behind him, unwilling to entangle with her more.
"Lord Minyi, has anyone ever told you that this capital has always been uneasy, be careful when you go out!" Chen Si followed behind Xu Shizi and said in Shen Yafei's ear, with an unusually dark smile on his face.
"I haven't heard of it, but thank you Chen Gongzi for reminding me, this county lord must pay attention!" Shen Yafei smiled faintly.
Seeing that his words didn't affect her at all, Chen Si threw down his sleeves and followed Xu Shizi.
After Xu Shizi went out, he said to Yan Yu with an expressionless face, "You can go back today." After speaking, he took the silver-faced man and Chen Si away.
Yan Yu wanted to follow but was stopped by Cheng Lin, and could only look at his back as he left, and Yan Yu stomped his feet angrily. Yan Yu felt a little uncomfortable when he thought that Xu Shizi had left because of the Minyi County Lord just now. Lord Minyi is really good-looking, and she is very worried that Xu Shizi will be confused by her. Although, she and Xu Shizi only cooperated with each other, and Xu Shizi told her at the beginning that if she pretended to be his sweetheart, she would give her a large sum of money and leave after the matter was completed. But she doesn't want to just pretend now, she wants to be the real sweetheart of the young man.
She had never seen or entered such a luxurious place as the Liwang Mansion, and it was the first time she lived the life of a noble lady who didn't have to rely on laughing all day long and had someone to serve her. Moreover, she found that Xu Shizi was not as unbearable as the outside world said, and Xu Shizi was a man who was not close to women. It's been so long since she's been in the mansion, and Xu Shizi hasn't even touched her. If you marry such a man, you will definitely be very happy. Therefore, she must firmly grasp the prince of the Xu, and never let that Minyi county lord enter the mansion!
"Miss, that person is······ Is it? Shen Yafei and the three of them asked for a single room in Jumeizhai, and as soon as they entered it, Zhiyu couldn't help but ask. But he didn't dare to say those words outside, for fear that someone with a heart would listen to them.
"Well, that's right." Shen Yafei nodded and said.
"How can there be that kind of person around Xu Shizi?" Zhiyu couldn't understand how a rich boy who only ate, drank and had fun in the capital could stay with such a complicated person.
"I don't know." Shen Yafei was actually more curious about the sense of familiarity on his body, where had he seen it?
"Okay, no matter how much it is, we're here to eat, and the rest of the things are put aside." Shen Yafei has always been unable to figure out things, and she will never spend her brainpower thinking too much, people will get tired if they think too much.
When the shopkeeper came in, Shen Yafei ordered all the dishes in the store with him, and it took two tables to put them down. The three of them ate directly with their stomachs open.
In the wing room on the third floor of Xianxiang Building, Xu Shizi, Chen Si, and the silver-faced man sat by the window.
"She is Shen Yafei?" The gentle voice of the silver-faced man sounded slowly, and when he heard it, he knew that he was a gentle and elegant handsome man.
"Hmm." Xu Shizi did not have the arrogance and unruliness of the past in front of him, and replied obediently like a child.
"It doesn't look like the ruthless people you say." The silver-faced man leaned lazily back in his chair.
"Bad people don't have the word bad people written on her face." Xu Shizi muttered.
"Hmm." The silver-faced man's voice became even softer, "Ah Xu means that the eldest brother said something wrong?" ”
"No, it's not." Xu Shizi waved his hand again and again.
That's right, this is Hua Xi, the biological eldest brother of Xu Shizi's half-father and mother, who is three years older than Xu Shizi and was declared dead six years ago.
Chen Si couldn't help laughing when he saw that Xu Shizi, who was usually used to being rampant and domineering, was as scared as a mouse when he saw a cat when he saw his eldest brother. When Xu Shizi was young, because he was the youngest child in the family, the family was spoiled, and the queen mother and the emperor were also very fond of him, so he developed a brutal character that was not afraid of heaven and earth, and even the prince of the thunderbolt couldn't control him. But it is very strange that Xu Shizi is the gentle and elegant eldest brother who is most afraid of himself. When he does bad things, as soon as his eldest brother appears, he doesn't have to say anything, and Xu Shizi will immediately become obedient.
After so many years, Xu Shizi is very rude to them now, but when facing his eldest brother, he is still as useless as when he was a child. Chen Si couldn't help but despise him in his heart.
"She doesn't look as brainless as you say, you see the way she looked at me just now, shrewd!" Hua Xi's voice returned to its normal tone, "Also, you deal with the woman in the family as soon as possible, and she looks restless." How did you come up with such a bad idea, how could you bring such a nonchalant woman into the house? ”
Hua Xi looked at the smoke plume downstairs who was still reluctant to leave, and tightened his eyebrows.
"Big brother, I know. I didn't really raise her as a concubine, I just used her to anger that Shen Yafei. Xu Shizi said.
"You want to be angry with her in many ways, but you can't bring that kind of woman into the house. You solved it as soon as possible! Bloomage's gentle voice contained a tough order that could not be refused.
"Got it. By the way, big brother, when are you going to go home? Since you're alive, you have to tell your father and mother, right? "Xu Shizi avoided the topic of Huaxi.
"But how can I see them like this? When they saw me like this, they were afraid of me again. Hua Xi said guiltily that the most sorry thing in his life was his father and mother, and he also heard that after his "death", his father didn't even go to the early dynasty and pushed away all government affairs.
"But they're happy to be alive. All the difficulties will be solved together as a family. You know the power of my father, and with him here, I believe that your matter will be solved soon. Xu Shizi said.
"Okay, we'll see you tonight." Hua Xi closed his eyes and said. It's all going to be faced anyway, so it's better to meet them early.
"Then bring your sister-in-law and nephew with you." Xu Shizi said with some excitement in his heart. If the father and the mother knew that the eldest brother was still alive and had become a parent, and even had a son, they would definitely be very happy.
"If you want to meet, meet outside, which place is safer, you arrange to meet in a place where there are many people by yourself. There are many people in the palace, and I am worried that someone will leak my affairs. Hua Xi thought for a while and said.
"Good!" Xu Shizi said happily.
Back to the scene under the dungeon of the Prince's Mansion that day, it was like this.
"Ah Xu~" The man with the chain raised his head, looked at Xu Shizi gently, and called softly.
Xu Shizi looked at the person in front of him in disbelief, and it turned out to be his eldest brother who had been "dead" for more than six years! Xu Shizi opened his mouth in shock, and called out with difficulty and disbelief: "Big brother? ”
Cheng Lin beside him cried out excitedly, "Lord Shizi! ”
Cheng Lin originally followed Hua Xi, but after Hua Xi "died", he was sent to Xu Shizi.
"Big brother, how could you? What's going on? He thought he was hallucinating, but seeing this extremely familiar face, only a little more mature than six years ago, and the outline of his face that was unusually similar to his father's, Xu Shizi was sure that this was his eldest brother.
"Why are you tying up my big brother?" The prince turned to question the prince.
"Axu!" Hua Xi snorted lightly, and Xu Shizi immediately calmed down, "Listen to me, I asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to tie me up, because I am a medicine man from the Poison Yama Valley." ”
"How could it be ······" Xu Shizi said in disbelief.
"It was the prince's people who found me and arrested me." Hua Xi interrupted him.
"Didn't you die of fire six years ago?" Xu Shizi asked the doubts in his heart.
Hua Xi chuckled, "Originally, we were going to be burned to death, but the person who was sent to dispose of us may have thought that we were more useful, so he left us behind his master's back." ”
"We?" Xu Shizi is still confused.
Bloomage gently told the story of the year.
Six years ago, a banquet was being held in the palace, and Hua Xi entered the palace with his family. But they went in a little early, and it was still a long time before they left the table. Hua Xi asked Cheng Lin to leave first and found a quiet place to sleep.
Just as he was in a daze, he heard two men under the tree talking about something.
"Niangniang said, the crown prince and the third prince will be solved today, this is the medicinal powder given to you by Niangniang, you will take advantage of today's palace banquet to secretly put the medicinal powder into the food of the two of them, and make sure that they all eat it." A palace maid staggered out a packet of medicinal powder from her pocket and handed it to a eunuch.
The eunuch cautiously put the medicine bag in his pocket. Hua Xi looked down at them, but he couldn't see the appearance of the two clearly, and he wanted to wait for the two to leave before coming down from the tree.
Outcome. "Ah~" A girl fell from the top of the tree and smashed directly on him, waking up the two people under the tree. And the girl who smashed on him was the girl of Yan Xiang's family, Yan Lijun's own sister, Yan Yan.
"Who?" The people below shouted.
Hua Xi immediately showed his light skills and flew away, but he didn't expect Yan Yan to be caught, so he had to turn back and save her. As a result, several more people appeared next to the rockery and caught both of them.
Nearby, a masked woman said to a masked man, "Go and deal with them." ”
Then, the man walked up behind the two of them and knocked them unconscious. Originally, they thought they were dead, but when they woke up, they found that they were trapped in a large mountain. There, they were taken every day to try all kinds of medicines, and they had no food. At first, they were constantly poured with medicinal soup, and then they were so hungry that the people of the valley poured blood on them and stuffed them with raw meat. Probably because they drink medicinal soup every day, the blood and raw meat feel unusually delicious when they eat it.
You won't be able to do it without eating these things for the rest of the day. At first, they thought that the raw meat was raised by the people of the valley, and they didn't want to spend time cooking it, so they fed it raw, so they didn't have to worry about it. But then one day the people of the valley stopped providing them with blood and raw meat, but just threw a few knives in and told them that they had been eating human flesh for so many days. And now, the valley no longer provides them with human flesh, and if they want to eat, they are too hungry to eat, so they will fend for themselves. That is, let them kill each other.
At first, most people can still hold back. But they are all used to fresh raw meat, and they can't stand it without eating a meal, and their bodies are like countless insect bites. Some people finally couldn't help but kill their accomplices and then distribute them to everyone. As soon as everyone smelled that smell, the insects on their bodies moved even more, and they couldn't help but move their hands.
In this way, they have been killing each other for more than a year. And the people of the valley let them go out and hunted for their own food. The people of the valley are not worried that they will run away, because they have to take a pill from the valley every seven days, and those who don't eat it will be in terrible pain, but they will not die. Moreover, if you stab yourself in the stomach with a knife, the white knife will still come out, and the blood will not flow out. So even if you can't survive, you can't kill yourself.
Bloomage has been doing good kung fu since he was a child, so he was not oppressed in it. The only person who knew him well in it was Yan Yan, and the two supported each other in it and secretly had emotions. Later, Hua Xi mastered the formulas of those pills, unwilling to be under their control anymore, and escaped from the valley with a few partners three years ago. In the past three years, they have traveled around a lot of places, and they have avoided countless pursuits by the people of the valley, and they have only recently come to the capital. Unexpectedly, not long after entering the city, he was discovered by the prince's people.
Hua Xi said lightly about the experience of the past few years, "We are now using pigs instead of human flesh, but despite this, it is still difficult for us to control our behavior when we see people and smell blood." Now we don't have the ability to make so many pills to maintain our daily life, because now we have no money and can't find so many medicinal herbs, so it's safer for us to bundle them up. Bloomage said.
Even Xu Shizi and Cheng Lin had heard about the Poison Yan Valley Medicine Man, and they didn't know that they had trained them in such a cruel way. What kind of life does the eldest brother live? When Xu Shizi heard Hua Xi's description, he felt the same pain as if he had experienced it himself. I hated those who made his eldest brother like this.
"However, wasn't the Poison Yama Valley wiped out ten years ago? The Poison Yama King is still dead, and General Yang has personally confirmed his identity, how can it be? "Although Xu Shizi was a child ten years ago, his father was still working in the court at that time. When his father knew the news, he happily nagged in front of them all day long, so Xu Shizi remembered this incident very deeply.
"Who knows? It should be that it was not killed, and it was not killed, right? There was resentment in Hua Xi's calm and unwavering tone. He also complained about the people who eliminated the Poison Yama Valley ten years ago, why didn't he wipe them all out? And leave the bane to poison them! The most ridiculous thing is that he still hasn't figured out who took them in the first place, who the masked woman and the masked man in the palace are!
"By the way, you also have a nephew, I named him Huaxin." Hua Xi said with a smile, there was both satisfaction and endless bitterness in the smile.
The new represents the meaning of rebirth, rebirth, and change course. Huaxi hopes that one day his son will not have to live the life of the walking dead like himself, and one day, he can live in the sun like a normal person.
Next, Hua Xi introduced him to his partners, as well as his sister-in-law and little nephew. When he saw his little nephew, Xu Shizi felt a pain in his heart again. Huaxin's whole body was as white as snow, and even his eyes were white and mist-like, without lustre.
"Who did it?" Xu Shizi couldn't hold back the anger in his heart. He wanted to find that person and cut it with a thousand cuts.
"Uncle. Hug. Hua Xin was very happy to see Xu Shizi, and opened his hands to him to ask for a hug, his face was as innocent and immature as an ordinary child, but ······
"Shin-chan." Xu Shizi squatted down and picked Hua Xin up, his voice hoarse from the pain.
Hua Xi patted him on the back comfortingly, "Big brother! Xu Shizi cried out like a child, Yan Yan also turned his back and sobbed softly, and the prince and King Ning on the side couldn't help but redden.
The next day, the prince informed Yan Lijun, who was also very excited to see his sister and nephew, and there was anger after the excitement. Later, Yan Lijun made some pills for them according to the prescription given by Hua Xi.
Later, Hua Xi asked to go out with them and find those people, because he knew that the people in the valley had no relationship with some people in the capital. Hua Xi wants to find them out as soon as possible, force those people to hand over the antidote, and let them live a normal life. Xu Shizi said that he couldn't tell him, so he let him wear a mask and follow him. At the same time, he didn't hide from his two best friends.
That night, Xu Shizi took Prince Pi and Princess Pi to the backyard of Xianxiang Building. The two were overjoyed to see Hua Xi. However, when listening to what Hua Xijiang said to Xu Shizi a few days ago, Princess Li, fainted from crying on the spot. Fortunately, it didn't take long for him to wake up, but his face was still pale, and when he saw Hua Xin, he hugged him distressedly. Then, the three fathers and sons went into the room and talked secretly.
"Do you know?" Princess Lili looked at Yan Yan and asked.
"My eldest brother knows. Others haven't said yet. Yan Yan replied, she still has a lot of worries in her heart, their family is not like the Liwang Mansion, there are only three people, and her family also has older grandparents, she is worried that they will not be able to bear it.
"Thank you!" Princess Pi said heartbroken as she shook her hand.
Yan Yan closed his eyes, tears sliding from the corners of his eyes. It's been really hard for so many years, but fortunately, Ah Xi is here. Hua Xi came out of the room and hugged her into his arms, gently wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes.
The princess also walked to the side of the princess and hugged her and Huaxin in his arms.
When Xu Shizi saw this picture, he felt a lot more comforted.
The next day, the prince began to go back to the early dynasty!
