Chapter Twenty-Three: Let's Go

Before Zhao Yu'an was twelve years old, although his father was a little strict, he was very good to both him and his mother. Later, my father gradually got tired of my mother, so he married several side houses one after another. His mother is a little woman who has no idea, she has been pampered by the family since she was a child, and she is also cared for after marrying into her husband's family, at this time her husband suddenly changed his mind, and she only knows how to quarrel with her husband when she is sad, and she has to toss it from time to time, so that each other is not happy, and his father is even more bored.

Because the girls were born in several partial houses, the Zhao family was still the only young master in the past two years, so the father still retained a trace of affection for the mother.

For several years, my mother was exhausted by my father's hot and cold attitude, and one day I learned that all the letters she sent to Zhou's family to complain were stopped by my father, and my mother finally died.

Zhao Yu'an is her only emotional sustenance, but because the emotions tortured by her father are extremely unstable, even if she still loves Zhao Yu'an very much at times, but more often, she will feel bored when she looks at Zhao Yu'an, although she doesn't do it, it has become a common thing to scold him.

When he was fourteen years old, his mother was enjoying the shade by the lake, accidentally fell into the water, and drowned like that, and the matter did not reach the Zhou family, and his father blocked all the news. In less than a year, his father married the young lady of the Li family and entered the main room, Zhao Yu'an had a big fight when they got married, pointed to his father's nose and counted him down, and was locked in the house by his father in anger, and did not let him out of the house for more than a year.

After Zhao Yu'an came out, he listened to people talking about what happened to the Zhou family, but his father's anger did not subside, and he was not allowed to go out of the house, let alone send letters to the Zhou family, it seemed that he had made up his mind not to have any dealings with the Zhou family, and later Miss Li was pregnant, and all his father's energy was focused on her, so he didn't care about Zhao Yu'an anymore.

"I went to Zhou's Mansion to look for you, but I heard Uncle Zhou say that you had already left, and the people sent to find you didn't find out anything about your whereabouts, but fortunately... Hey, if we don't talk about that, we can still sit and talk like we did when we were children, and that's enough. ”

Zhao Yu'an muttered a few more words, then fell asleep on the table, Xu Jiheng called him twice, but he didn't wake up, so he had to bring a quilt from the house and cover him.

Maybe it shouldn't be like this, but Xu Jiheng actually found some emotional resonance from Zhao Yu'an, and in the days when he left Zhoufu, there were still people who could remember him, and even kept thinking of finding him, which made Xu Jiheng feel a trace of long-lost warmth, from the people he once knew, from the people who walked through those bad years with him, it seemed that this kind of cognition could move him even more.

On the second day, Zhao Yu'an left Xu Jiheng's residence, Xu Jiheng originally wanted to stay with him for two more days, and then go back when his injuries were better, but he also knew that Zhao Yu'an was the young master of Zhao Mansion after all, and he would always have to go back one day.

A few days later, Zhao Yu'an came to pick up the painting at the appointed time, Xu Jiheng took a look, and found that Zhao Yu'an had no new injuries on his body, so he was relieved.

was in a drunken state that day, whether she wanted to listen to it or not, she was still chattering about the past, as if she was complaining to him Zhao Yu'an was the first time he saw it, and it must be the last time.

Since then, Zhao Yu'an has become a "frequent visitor" of Xu Jiheng's residence, sometimes sitting for a while and leaving in a hurry, and sometimes eating Xu Jiheng's lunch and dinner before leaving. Zhao Yu'an is actually not very diligent, he always comes once every half a month or a month or two, but because Xu Jiheng's residence itself has not been there except for Brother Zhao and him, Zhao Yu'an can be regarded as a frequent visitor.

If Zhao Yu'an came, the two of them didn't talk much, more often they still discussed poetry as they were children, and occasionally Zhao Yu'an brought one or two books he liked very much, and Xu Jiheng would return a painting to him.

Xu Jiheng has changed a lot in his attitude, no longer rejecting Zhao Yu'an thousands of miles away, and it seems that he gradually dares to face the past under Zhao Yu'an's infection, and he is much more cheerful than before, even though most of the time Xu Jiheng still deliberately maintains the distance between the two, but sometimes, maybe even Xu Jiheng himself doesn't notice that his eyes are changing when he looks at Zhao Yu'an.

The days passed smoothly like this, and finally the day when Xu Jiheng saw Xu Yun was the same as what Fu Rusi and Gu Chen saw in their dreams, except that the woman's money was stolen by the child when she commanded the strong man to push Xu Yun out of the door, and Xu Jiheng, who happened to be holding Xu Yun, looked at it squarely.

The woman said that the money bag was gone, presumably just seeing Xu Yun dressed up next to her like this and looking at the clothes, and subconsciously touched the money bag but because she was careless for a while, she insisted that Xu Yun stole her money, and as the crowd gradually gathered, everyone's attention was on Xu Yun's body, and the child fished down the river and stole the money bag at once.

When the gold was returned to Xu Yun, Xu Jiheng went home, had a brief lunch, and after resting for a while, he picked up the basket and went to the mountains to collect medicine.

He saw that the sky was changing today, and he was afraid that it would rain on the way, so he brought a paper umbrella. Sure enough, halfway through the collection of medicine, rain began to fall from the sky.

Xu Jiheng was about to walk back with his umbrella, when he caught a glimpse of cyan, and then he heard the sound of exhalation.

Xu Jiheng looked over and saw a small green snake dripping with blood in the grass not far away, and he froze when he landed, and his eyes were a little dizzy.

The little green snake lay on the ground softly, he heard the footsteps of someone approaching, but he was helpless, he couldn't take a penny of strength anymore.

The rain that hit his body seemed to be lighter, and the little green snake raised his eyes and met Xu Jiheng's gaze.

Xu Jiheng was stunned by this glance, and even ignored the blood all over the ground for a while.

If he was still a little hesitant to save the snake when he came over, after all, he had a slight faint blood, and the snake was so badly wounded, maybe he would lose his breath as soon as he took it down the mountain, he didn't want to hurt himself, and it was a useless thing.

I don't know if it's his delusion, the time he looked at him, the snake seemed to be talking to him with his eyes, Xu Jiheng no longer hesitated, carried him in the back basket, and took him home.

At night, Xu Jiheng took a bath covered in blood, and after eating noodles, he entered the house, Xu Yun was falling into a coma, Xu Jiheng looked at it for a while, and went to sleep.

When it was close to the morning, Xu Jiheng suddenly woke up, he didn't know what he dreamed of, leaned on the head of the bed and slowed down for a while, he remembered that he had picked up a snake, he looked over, Xu Yun seemed to be shivering, he immediately got out of bed, lit the wick, walked over to take a look, and found that Xu Yun had gathered himself very tightly, as if he was cold.

Xu Jiheng was a little surprised, now in this season, a snake would be shivering with cold?

He carried the lamp into the room where the groceries were piled up, pulled a few clean cotton wool back to the house, cut a piece of clothing from the cabinet, spread the clothes on top of the cotton wool, and carefully put Xu Yun on the clothes to cover him, after a while, Xu Yun finally did not shiver, it seemed that it was really cold.

And Fu Rusi finally knew why he woke up that day and was under the tree.

The rest of the clips were all what he and Gu Chen had seen, and soon it was the part where Xu Yun woke up from his dream.

Xu Yun didn't like Zhao Yu'an, he had been like that since he saw Zhao Yu'an.

At this time, Zhao Yu'an looked at Xu Yun with some surprise, and said in surprise: "You raised this snake by your side?" ”

Xu Yun seemed to be startled, coiled up and glanced at Zhao Yu'an fiercely, opened his mouth and quickly bit him.

Zhao Yu'an let out a low sigh, Xu Jiheng immediately stretched out his hand to block Zhao Yu'an's body, Xu Yun hurriedly paused, and bit Xu Jiheng's sleeve with his head.

Xu Jiheng looked down at Xu Yun, and after a while, he gently touched his head, as if to appease, he said softly: "It's okay, he suddenly saw a living person, he will be a little guarded." ”

Xu Yun glanced up at Xu Jiheng, and saw that there was no blame in his eyes, so he dodged his hand and tilted his head to the side, as if he was angry.

Xu Jiheng smiled helplessly, and Zhao Yu'an, who came back to his senses on the other side, hurriedly took his hand, and was relieved to see that he had not been bitten, and looked at Xu Yun with some hesitation: "This snake looks very spiritual, but snakes are so ferocious, if you keep it by your side, it is always a little dangerous." ”

Xu Yun glanced at Zhao Yu'an with his spare eyes, spitting out snake letters.

Xu Jiheng chuckled, Zhao Yu'an was stunned for a moment, and then smiled as well, "He seems to have a lot of opinions about me." ”

Xu Jiheng touched Xu Yun again, turned his head to look at Zhao Yu'an, withdrew his left hand that was still held by Zhao Yu'an's hands, and said, "It's okay." ”

Because of Xu Jiheng's relationship, Zhao Yu'an and Brother Zhao can be regarded as having several faces, they don't know each other but they already know each other, according to Zhao Yu'an, he went out to the town to buy things today, and happened to meet Brother Zhao, Brother Zhao told him that Xu Jiheng was injured, and Zhao Yu'an hurriedly came over to take a look.

Zhao Yu'an said worriedly: "If it weren't for Brother Zhao, they happened to be around there this time, I'm afraid..."

Zhao Yu'an wanted to speak and stopped, not daring to say any more.

Xu Jiheng patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, I've always had a big life." ”

Zhao Yu'an didn't answer, and after a pause, he turned the conversation to Xu Yun, who was still vigilant.

"If you insist on keeping it with you, then you must be careful, the snake is cold-blooded, and you can't expect it to really think of you as the one who raised him and accompanied him."

Zhao Yu'an knew Xu Jiheng too well, he knew very well that what advice he said would not annoy Xu Jiheng, and he could let Xu Jiheng know that he cared about him.

Xu Jiheng looked at Xu Yun and said as if sighing: "I don't know how long it will stay by my side, I look at it, and I always feel that one day he will leave me, but it's better to leave..."

Xu Jiheng didn't go on, the day he decided to raise Xu Yun by his side, he looked at Xu Yun who had fallen asleep, and said: "I was born like a curse, all the people close to me didn't end well, I was selfish, I wanted to leave you behind, if one day you are tired of life here, leave early." ”
