Su Jiu leaned against the door, choked up and called softly: "Dad......"

The footsteps in the house suddenly accelerated.

As he approached the door, the footsteps hesitated again.

After half a cup of tea, the door of the Zhu Qi Mansion finally opened slowly.

Su Jiu raised his teary eyes, a man over half a hundred years old, with a green shirt and white temples.

His eyes were faintly red with fine lines, and he had just paused behind the door for a long time, and he must have been secretly wiping away tears.

He didn't want his youngest daughter to see his most vulnerable side as a father.

Su Jiu dimple was sweet, and tried to smile well-behaved and sweet, "It was my daughter's fault that I came back suddenly and called my father at a loss......"

He spoke softly, but tears rolled down suddenly.

She hurriedly wiped her tears away from her face, and when she turned around again, she looked like a dimple sweet, "Ranran, what did my mother tell you just now?" ”

Ran Ran tilted his head cutely, and said crisply: "Grandpa!" ”

Xiao Yu's emotions that he had managed to control fell apart in an instant.

He raised his wide sleeves and pressed the corners of his eyes, and lovingly touched the little one's head, "Come into the house and talk." ”

Xiao Yu and Su Jiu went to the main hall.

Lu Zhi's carriage was still parked at the mouth of Wuyi Alley, and the young man stood in front of the carriage, staring at the plaque and not speaking for a long time.

Changsheng couldn't help but ask, "Master, aren't we going in?" The little one is still counting on having lunch at Xiao's house! ”

Lu Zhi's eyes were lonely.

After a pause in his gaze over the strokes on the plaque, a picture appeared in his mind:

Three young men with delicate and beautiful appearances, dressed in Confucian clothes, played and frolicked through this deep and silent alley.

A handsome young man with a cinnabar tear mole under his left eye, he reached out and took off his classmate's black-horned scholar's hat mischievously, and his long black hair instantly slid down to his waist, and the classmate's white and tender cheeks turned his head to stare at him, and it was actually a little girl with a beautiful complexion.

Another teenager was weak Chunxiao, scolding and scolding the teenager who raised his foot to kick evil, but was deftly avoided by the other party.

They noisily went into the depths.

The old nestlings lay in the nest under the eaves, chirping and waiting for the mother swallows to feed, while curiously sticking out their heads to watch them go away.

The picture fades into obscurity.

Time has passed, and the young swallows of the past have long since died of old age, leaving only the dilapidated nests, facing the lively and prosperous spring breeze......

Seeing that Lu Zhi was still in a daze, Changsheng couldn't help but push him, "Master, what's wrong with you?" ”

Lu Zhi woke up from the picture and suddenly bent down weakly.

He hung his head, and the red blood stains were scattered on the bluestone slabs, and the dark green moss was deepened.

"Master!" Changsheng's face was frightened, "Don't you scare the little ones, master, master?" There's a medical hall in front, let's go see if the doctor is okay?! ”

Lu Zhi held his hand tightly.

He slowly straightened up, looked at the alley again, and suddenly a smile bloomed.

"In my story, my sister, Xiao Tingchen and even Xie Rongjing are all very important people. But in their stories, I'm like, just an outsider, right? I have not been involved in their past, and I will not have a future with them. I am the swallow under the eaves, watching them and envying them...... But even if the nest was built under the beams of their house, it would be nothing more than a void. Everything is empty, but it's so ......"

The sickly and frail boy with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes lamented and sighed in the long wind of late spring.

Changsheng wiped his tears, knowing that his master was afraid that his time was really short.

He said respectfully: "It's windy here, so the master should go to Xiao's house and ask for a cup of hot tea to warm up, right?" ”

Lu Zhi casually walked towards the bustling place, "The Central Plains rules require gifts to be brought when you come to the door. I came from afar, and I couldn't visit the Xiao family empty-handed. ”

Half an hour later, he and Changsheng boarded the Xiao family's mansion with large bags and small bags.

The old butler opened the door for him, and looked at him in amazement, smiling and smiling as he stepped into the house.

In the main hall, Xiao Yu and Su Jiu talked for a while, afraid that she would be tired from the journey, so she got up and said: "I'll take you back to Heting to take a look, it has been kept in its original appearance for the past two years, and the bedding and other things are always replaced with new and clean ones, no matter when you come back, you can live in it." ”

Su Jiu's nose was sour, and he picked up Ran Ran and got up, "I'm worried about my father......"

Xiao Yu smiled and hugged Ranran, and while stepping out of the threshold, he asked kindly, "How old is the baby this year?" ”

Ran Ran has grown so big, and it's the first time I've heard someone call me baby.

He was a little happy in his heart, and he also liked this kind grandfather more, but his little face was serious, and he said childishly: "Grandpa, I am a man, not a baby." ”

"Okay, good, we are manly!" Xiao Yu was amused by him.

The grandparents and grandchildren were talking affectionately, and Lu Zhi and others came over.

He put down the big bag and small bag, and obediently followed the Confucian etiquette of the Central Plains, and stretched his sleeves towards Xiao Yu, "Uncle." ”

Xiao Yu frowned.

looked at him, the young man was only ten ** years old, his appearance was delicate and sickly, and he looked humble and gentle.

The gifts I bought were all expensive supplements, and I spent a lot of money.

Behind him, a four- or five-year-old boy was still hiding, holding a big wine gourd, looking nervously and enviously at him holding Ran Ran.

Xiao Yu's brows locked deeper.

Could it be that his baby daughter dumped Xiao Tingchen and found a younger man?

Is the child behind them their illegitimate child?

He was taken aback by his own thoughts.

He turned around and looked at Su Jiu hesitantly.

Su Jiu saw his eyes and immediately understood what he was thinking.

She wanted to cry without tears, "Daddy, I look at it, like a person who has abandoned from the beginning?" ”

Xiao Yu's hanging heart was put down.

His baby daughter is well-behaved and painful, but Xiao Tingchen is not a good stubble, if he talks about chaos and abandonment, it should be Xiao Tingchen.

Su Jiu introduced: "Dad, this is the king of the ghost prison, Lu Zhi. ”

Xiao Yu was stunned again.

He couldn't help but look at Lu Zhi carefully, this handsome young man who looked harmless to humans and animals was actually the king of the ghost prison?!

Thinking of the evil deeds that the ghost prison did to the Central Plains, he immediately had no good impression of the young man in front of him.

He nodded coldly, "It turned out to be the king of the Ghost Prison......"

After sighing, he hugged Ran Ran and walked towards the Crane Ting.

Lu Zhi was left in place.

Changsheng is not angry, "This third master Xiao is too ruthless, the lord and the king, when has he suffered such cold treatment......

complained like this, but the master and servant knew that from the moment they stepped out of the capital, they were no longer ghost prisoners.

As the main culprit of the war, no one can not be disgusted.

Lu Zhi looked at Su Jiu and smiled weakly, "I'm sorry for my sister." ”

Su Jiu shook his head.

She could clearly smell the bloody breath of the young man, and knew that he was probably hemoptysis again.

Lu Zhi, time is running out.

，

So sleepy, good night
