The change came so suddenly that even the little guy reached out to grab me, but he was kicked off the ox cart, and I hugged the waist of the visitor with my backhand.

"Hu Dingtang, you're finally here." The moment I saw that it was him, my hanging heart finally relaxed.

Hu Dingtang stepped on the little guy's body and warned: "Go back and tell your master, don't come to harass my woman again in the future, otherwise, I will make him pay." ”

"Third brother, don't let him talk, I'm here." In the darkness ahead, a young man in a blue-gray robe and a jade crown stepped forward, holding a pair of beads the size of amber walnuts in his hand, and a smile on the corner of his mouth, "I haven't seen you for a long time, third brother, I miss my brother very much." ”

I looked at the man, and then at Hu Dingtang, but found that they didn't look much like each other at all.

Both of them are very good-looking, Hu Dingtang's good-looking has a domineering spirit, and the man is as beautiful as a fairy daughter who came out of a painting.

Hu Dingtang glanced at him and said: "I have already disowned the fox clan, I can't afford this third brother, just ask you to touch less of my people in the future, the well water does not interfere with the river water, otherwise, Hugh blames me for being polite." ”

"What the third brother said, it was you who ran away in a negative mood back then, how can you say that you are completely out of touch with the fox clan?" He stepped forward and said with a smile, "You were born in the fox clan, and the things in your bones can't be broken, in the second brother's heart, you will always be my third brother." ”

It turned out that he was really Hu Dingkun.

"What the hell do you want to do?" Hu Dingtang didn't want to talk nonsense with him, so he had a direct showdown.

Hu Dingkun turned the beads in his hand and looked at me: "I just heard that the third brother has a beloved, and I was a little curious, so I wanted to invite my brother and sister to come over and talk about it, I have to say, the third brother's vision is really good, the younger brother and sister are not only beautiful, but even the little white hands are so cute." ”

When I heard him say this, I subconsciously put my hand into my sleeve, and Hu Dingtang hugged my hand tightly: "There is no need to reminisce about the past, what have you done, you know best in your heart, besides, I put my words here, it is impossible for me to participate in those dirty things in your struggle for power and profit, don't mess with me." ”

After speaking, Hu Dingtang hugged me and was about to leave, the beads in Hu Dingkun's hand turned into dumplings, and he said in a strange manner: "Third brother, you can't hide, now I'm giving you a chance, if you miss it, you will regret it." ”

Hu Dingtang's steps did not stop, as if he hadn't heard Hu Dingkun's words, and kept moving forward, and I almost trotted to keep up with his footsteps.

We went all the way back to the accommodation, Hu Dingtang turned around the store with a black face, walked around the store a few times with his hands behind his back, and said, "You can't stay here, it's too unsafe here." ”

"Did you see the note I left and rushed over?" I asked.

"Notes? What note? Hu Dingtang obviously didn't know, "I was out on business, and I was inexplicably restrained, so I thought that someone would do something to you, so I hurried back." ”

"Thought of me? Didn't you think of the Hu Mansion? I wondered.

"It's not so easy for them to move in the Hu Mansion, and they can only use you to cut it." Hu Dingtang saw it very thoroughly, "However, I have to rush back as soon as possible to discuss the next coping strategy with everyone, you can pack up your things and follow me." ”

"Why?" I disagreed, "Are you going to hide me in the mansion and not come out?" ”

Hu Dingtang raised his eyebrows and smiled evilly: "I don't mind the golden house is hidden." ”

My face suddenly flushed: "Bah, I'm not going with you." ”

"Shy?" Hu Dingtang leaned over and asked softly.

"You're thinking too much." I said, "Hu Dingtang, ...... this afternoon"

I just wanted to talk to Hu Dingtang about this afternoon's events, but there was a bang on the door of the store, and Hu Yunzhi shouted outside: "Miss Meng, Miss Meng." ”

Hu Dingtang waved his hand, the door bolt opened, Hu Yunzhi rushed in, saw Hu Dingtang at a glance, and slapped his chest again and again: "Third brother, you used to be here with Miss Meng, you scared me to death, I thought something happened to Miss Meng." ”

"Didn't you go back to the old mansion, why did you run out in the middle of the night?" Hu Dingtang asked.

Hu Yunzhi patted his chest, trying to pant evenly, and I quickly poured him a glass of water: "Drink saliva first to moisten your throat." ”

It seems that he has really tried his best all the way here.

After Hu Yunzhi drank the water, he said: "I received the news at seven o'clock, and my subordinates came to report that Miss Meng had left a note in my house, and I wanted to rush back immediately, for fear that something would really happen." ”

"I don't know why, tonight my mother pushed back and had to let me stay in the old mansion for the night, I haven't slept in the old mansion for many years, and I don't know what happened to her today."

"Uncle may really miss you, you should take the time to go back and spend more time with her." Hu Dingtang said, "You have followed me all these years, wronged you, and made them too worried. ”

Hu Yunzhi waved his hand: "Third brother, others don't know my mother, don't you know what she is?" She is such an independent and self-reliant person, and she has supported me and followed you for so many years, how could she suddenly become emotional? ”

"I thought, probably Yunxi went back and said this and that, which affected her, don't worry, it's okay, no, I didn't come out in the end."

When Hu Yunyi mentioned Hu Yunxi, I suddenly remembered that the lady who came to me this afternoon seemed to be really similar to Hu Yunxi's eyebrows, could it be ......

I hurriedly asked, "Yunzhi, did your mother go down the mountain today?" ”

"I don't know about this, so I went straight to my grandfather's side when I went back, and I went to my mother's place at dinner." He thought about it again and again, and said, "I shouldn't have gone out, because when I went to her place, she was in the room, holding her mink big coat to see, the big one had a hole in the previous one, and she probably spent the afternoon mending that hole at home, right?" ”

Hu Yunzhi's words made my head buzz in an instant, and my heart was mixed, and I didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

Before, I was worried that the lady was sent by Hu Dingqian or Hu Dingkun, but now it seems that it is not.

A few days ago, I had an unpleasant quarrel with Hu Yunxi, Hu Yunxi left the Hu Mansion, and should have gone back to the old house, most likely because she sued her mother and mentioned that I was with Hu Dingtang, so this lady who loves her daughter and her heart made an excuse and came down to investigate me.

Hu Yunzhi's mother is Hu Dingtang's aunt, Hu Dingtang grew up under her care since he was a child, and it should not be unfavorable to Hu Dingtang.

But what I'm worried about is, will she obstruct me and Hu Dingtang for the sake of Hu Yunxi?

"What's wrong?" Hu Dingtang looked at me with a wrong expression and asked.

I hesitated to tell them about it, and if I told them, what would happen if they intervened? If you don't tell it, how long can you hide it?

Hu Dingtang seemed to see something, and asked me directly: "Have you seen my aunt?" ”

I was shocked, how could Hu Dingtang be like the roundworm in my stomach, I could guess anything?

"Just this afternoon, right?" Hu Dingtang asked, "You just wanted to tell me about it just now, didn't you?" ”

Hu Yunzhi's eyes widened in shock: "Miss Meng, did my mother really look for you?" ”

He paused for a moment, and suddenly realized, "Did you repair my mother's big coat?" ”

I couldn't hide it, I had to nod, Hu Yunzhi gritted his teeth and said: "It must have been instigated by Yunxi, this little girl is getting more and more out of tune!" Miss Meng, my mother didn't make things difficult for you, did she? I'll say I'm sorry for them. ”

"No, no, my aunt probably just wants to see what I look like, and by the way, I don't talk much." I hastened to explain, but I still remember the way his mother looked at me at the beginning, and it always felt a little weird.

Hearing me say this, Hu Yunzhi was relieved: "I will talk about them well, don't worry, I promise that such a thing will not happen again." ”

"Okay, I'll know when I know, I didn't plan to hide this, the old mansion will know sooner or later." Hu Dingtang said, "Yunzhi, I'm going back to the mansion, I've already met Hu Dingkun." ”

"Second brother, he ......" Hu Yunzhi looked at Hu Dingtang, then at me, and understood, "Before I came over, there was still a problem with Miss Meng's side?" ”

Hu Yunzhi was very annoyed, but Hu Dingtang asked me: "Do you want to go with me?" ”

I gritted my teeth, in fact, it was good to go to the Hu Mansion, but I was not familiar with the people over there, and Hu Yunxi would definitely come to find fault, so I am particularly repulsed by Hu Yunxi now.

If you don't go with him, stay in the store, Hu Dingkun will come to me for trouble at any time, then the time will be ......

"Then I'll go with you for the time being."

"Alright, let's go now." Hu Dingtang was obviously relieved, turned around, and at the door, a person hurriedly ran in, and said, "Third master, fifth master." ”

"Uncle Dong, why are you here?" Hu Yun was shocked.

Hu Dingtang's face also changed: "Is it grandpa?" ”

Uncle Dong nodded: "Third master, the old man wants to meet you." ”

"Uncle Dong, after so many years, I thought my attitude was clear enough, and I would never go back to the old mansion." Hu Dingtang said coldly.

Uncle Dong insisted: "The old man knows your temper, and this time he came down the mountain in person. ”

"What? Grandpa is coming down the mountain? Hu Yunzhi stepped on his feet in a hurry, obviously a little panicked, "Third brother, grandpa came down the mountain to find you personally, do you think it will be ......?"

"Don't think about it." Hu Dingtang said, quietly held my hand, and squeezed it very tightly, "Tell grandpa, it's better for us not to meet for the time being, so as not to have another accident when the time comes." ”

I don't know what Hu Dingtang was thinking at the time, but I was speculating in my heart, what was the intention of Hu Dingtang's grandfather to come down the mountain to see Hu Dingtang in person at this time?

Was it because Hu Dingkun wooed Hu Dingtang, or because Hu Dingtang was with me that alarmed the old man?

I don't think I'm going to be so sensational, right?

Uncle Dong was very embarrassed, Hu Yunzhi persuaded on the side: "Third brother, grandpa has been high all his life, it is not easy to come down the mountain to see you in person this time, in the end, it is a relative, broken bones and tendons, or, let's see each other?" ”

Hu Yunzhi has always hoped that Hu Dingtang can go back to his old house, and at this time he spared no effort to persuade Hu Dingtang, after all, if the old man wants to open and cultivate Hu Dingtang, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

But Hu Dingtang was a twisted temper, and pulled me to the backyard: "What should I be busy with, I will definitely not see you if I don't see it." ”

He dragged me all the way to the backyard bedroom, closed the door, and sat down at the table in a rage, where I stood and didn't know what to say.

He's sad, isn't he?

How much disappointment and pain did he have to save up to run out of the old mansion back then, and how much resentment did he have to persist in not going back for so many years?

No one can really empathize, so I can't comment on his approach.

I walked over and comforted, "Don't think too much, whatever you decide, as long as you don't regret it." ”

Hu Dingtang raised his eyes and looked at me, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but in the end he held back, just reached out and grabbed my hand again, holding it tightly.

At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps outside, some hurried and some slow.

The one in a hurry is Hu Yunzhi.

"Third brother, third brother, come out quickly, grandpa is here." Hu Yunzhi stuck to the bedroom door and said in a low voice.

Hu Dingtang held my hand and tightened suddenly, this was forcing him to meet, and he couldn't hide.

He gritted his teeth and stood up, pressed me to the stool and said, "No matter what happens outside the meeting, don't go out, wait for me." ”

I nodded: "Okay, I'll wait for you, but you also have to promise me, don't be impulsive, don't be angry, say it well." ”

Hu Dingtang went out, I sat on the stool, my waist was straight, my ears were erect, and I could hear the slightest movement outside.

My heart was pounding, until someone outside entered the main hall on crutches, pulled out a chair and sat down.

For a moment, it was quiet, and the air seemed to freeze.

After a while, Hu Yunzhi broke the deadlock: "Grandpa, this big night, it's even deeper, why are you here?" ”

Then he pushed Hu Dingtang again and whispered: "Third brother, don't stand stupidly, call someone." ”

Hu Dingtang was silent.

The old man should have been angry, I only heard the crutches on the ground knock twice, the sound was like a bell: "The wings are hard, and my grandfather doesn't want to admit it, right?" ”

"Grandpa." Hu Dingtang shouted in a deep voice.

"You know how to call me grandpa! After so many years, I thought you had forgotten that you still had such a grandfather, didn't you! The old man took the opportunity to make trouble.

Hu Dingtang: "......"

"Grandpa, isn't the third brother forced to do so, how difficult it was for him back then, and how he survived all these years, aren't you distressed?" Hu Yunzhi played the emotional card.

"He deserves it!" The old man slapped on the table of the Eight Immortals, pointed at Hu Dingtang and gritted his teeth, "Back then, I tried my best to overcome all difficulties and let him go to the forbidden area, thinking that I would calm things down, and then I would find a way to dredge up more from it, and wait for a hundred and eighty thousand years, maybe there will be a turnaround, and then release him again, how can I not get to today's situation, all of this is his own doing." ”

"I think I'm fine now." Hu Dingtang is not afraid of death.

When I heard him say this, I jumped up quickly, and the old man was even more angry, and he picked up his crutches and was about to greet Hu Dingtang: "Evil obstacle! This evil obstacle! You're trying to me off! ”

"Grandpa, don't be angry, don't be angry, the third brother misses you too." Hu Yunzhi's peacemaker is also strange, "Others don't know, can I still not know?" How many years have passed, and in the third brother's bedroom, there is still a peachwood sword carved by his grandfather when he was a child, and he took it out to play with whenever he was free. ”

"Yunzhi, shut up, don't talk nonsense." Hu Dingtang reprimanded.

Hu Yunzhi became more and more energetic the more he spoke: "Why did I talk nonsense? Why don't I take my grandfather to the mansion to see the shiny peachwood sword now! ”

Hu Dingtang glared at Hu Yun fiercely, the old man's anger gradually subsided, and he sat down on the chair again, just when everyone was relieved, he asked coldly: "I heard that you have fallen in love with a girl recently, haven't you?" ”

At the mention of me, my hairs stood up instantly, and what did I do again?

"Yes." Hu Dingtang directly admitted.

"I disagree!" The old man immediately decided, "You broke off with her immediately!" ”

"Why?" Hu Dingtang was finally provoked, "Grandpa, who you like and who you are with, this is my own business, and you have no right to make decisions for me." ”

"It's against you!" The old man was even more horizontal, "Marriage is a major event, the words of the matchmaker of your parents, your parents are gone, my grandfather is not dead, this matter, it is not your turn to make your own decisions!" ”

"I've become independent from the old mansion!" Hu Dingtang argued with reason.

The old man obviously won't compromise: "Believe it or not, if you are so stubborn, that girl will ......"

"You dare!" Hu Dingtang said angrily, "Unless you want me to die, otherwise, you can't touch a single hair of her!" ”

"I'll tell you, third, now you only have two paths to choose." The old man said domineeringly, "Either break off with her completely, or, go back to the forbidden place with me immediately!" ”

I was also shocked at the time, if Hu Dingtang was willing to keep the forbidden land, he would not have chosen to run away from the old mansion back then, and insisted on it for so many years, if he compromised at this time, wouldn't it be a complete negation of his efforts for so many years?

Therefore, he would never choose to go back to the forbidden land.

Hu Yunzhi panicked: "Grandpa, third brother, don't be like this, if there is something to sit down and talk about." ”

He said, stretching out his hand to help the old man agree: "Grandpa, the third brother is not a child anymore, he has his own opinions, you can't educate him like a child, besides, haven't you seen Miss Meng yet, I dare to guarantee that as long as you have seen her, you will definitely like her." ”

"I don't have to look at it, this matter is non-negotiable." The old man was categorical, "Third brother, grandpa can assure you that as long as you give up the position of that girl, the patriarch of the fox clan, I can directly let you sit down." ”
