Chapter Twenty-Four: This Is Your Home
When they arrived at the pure place, the leader was the first to bow his head and report: "The killer didn't catch it, he was invited from somewhere else, but the only thing that can be sure that this assassination is from the Peng family."
After speaking, she lowered her head, and was silent, Luo Xiaoqi sat in a wheelchair calmly, she couldn't move, but her heart drifted to the clouds, Peng family? She just sent Chen Desan to assassinate President Peng a few days ago, and today she was killed by their family, what does this mean, the cycle of cause and effect?
The corners of Luo Xiaoqi's mouth flashed a contemptuous smile, and he said to himself: "It's really stupid, if you could really kill me so easily, my life would have been lost several times." imitate Luo Zhengting's shooting, that's all what I'm left with", she said with a long eyebrow: "The Peng family likes to play, then I'll play with them."
She has already prepared for the city government in her heart, and she can bring down the head of the Luo family and bring down a Peng family, this is just a matter of time, just like she has been in a wheelchair for several years carefully planning to bring down Luo Zhengting, she must sink her heart first.
She laboriously turned her wheelchair and tried to go back to the door of the theater to see if Shen Yeling was still there. Jiang Yuan also knew what Luo Xiaoqi meant, helped push it, and pretended to be a faction and said to those who bowed down to him: "You can go back, the head of the family and I still have important matters."
As he spoke, he pointed out like one of them: "You give me the car, I'll drive for the head of the family, you, you go to Young Master Bai."
He didn't want the man to go back without a car, and besides, he had just lent Zhang Junyao a car, even if they drove the row of cars in a big battle, it would be easier to distribute them unevenly.
So he turned his head to look at Young Master Bai to hear if he had any opinions on his distribution method, only to see Cheng Jiabai's face serious, and he didn't pay attention to Jiang Yuan, and directly spared him and said to Luo Xiaoqi: "Sister, do you need to check the Peng family", he can do it for him.
Luo Xiaoqi turned his back to him and raised a hand: "No need", his tone was indifferent, obviously he had an opinion on him taking care of this kind of idle business.
Jiang Yuan turned around and patted him on the shoulder, and said in a friendly manner: "Let's go."
Cheng Jiabai turned his gaze to Jiang Yuan and nodded slightly: "Then you should be careful", his eyes were sincere and lost, but after all, he didn't want to say a word again.
So Jiang Yuan turned around and pushed Luo Xiaoqi away, Jiang Yuan knew that Luo Xiaoqi could let him push him to see Shen Yeling, not just because he had experienced their past, but because Luo Xiaoqi believed in him enough, Luo Xiaoqi was now standing in the highest position of the Luo family, and he had always been suspicious, even a godbrother like Cheng Jiabai who regarded him as his own did not trust, but he could unscrupulously tell him what he thought in his heart.
Hum! Jiang Yuan was also ashamed, the assassination that happened just now, Shen Yeling protected Luo Xiaoqi, but he honestly hid behind Luo Xiaoqi's wheelchair, thinking about it, he was really ashamed of her trust.
At the entrance of the theater, the song ended.
Because it was no longer their business, and after watching the excitement, the people who should leave were all gone, Zhang Shangzhi and the others followed Manager Li to the banquet he prepared in Zuixian Building, in order to celebrate the success of this opening performance, but Shen Yeling, who was the protagonist, did not arrive.
He wanted to wait for Luo Xiaoqi, waiting for him to call her uncle again, evoking the ripples of his calm pool.
I saw him standing at the door of the theater, the original accident location was motionless, and after waiting for a long time, the sun above his head began to tilt to the side.
"Sixteen", the voice started from behind Shen Yeling, he turned his head over, and the two people behind him were standing tall and tall, revealing old age from the inside out, and the other was sitting with a baby face up, full of childishness from top to bottom.
The two of them were in front of Shen Yeling, the two of them stood against the light under the sun, Shen Yeling looked over and felt that the two of them would shine. Luo Xiaoqi took off the disguise of being invincible, raised his hand as white as porcelain, and beckoned Shen Yeling over: "Uncle."
Shen Yeling turned around and ran against the sun.
On this day, it was really a sunny day.
So Jiang Yuan sat in front of the car and became the driver, they put Luo Xiaoqi in the back seat, and then set off from the theater to Shen Yeling's house. In fact, Jiang Yuan also wanted to see Shen Yeling's current living situation, but it was not good to salvage the two of them, so they put them at the door and promised Luo Xiao to pick him up before dark. I looked at the car by myself, and the dog couldn't change it, and went to Fireworks Willow Lane.
"Ah Sheng, come", Shen Yeling squatted down with her back to Luo Xiaoqi, trying to carry her over the steps in front of the door, she remembered that when she was a child, Shen Yeling also ran around the courtyard with her on her back, and at that time he used to gesture with his hand: Ah Sheng's legs are not used for walking. He would carry her on his back like this to where she wanted to go, to the ends of the earth.
Now her legs really can't walk, his back is still there, but he can't carry her to the ends of the earth, but he can only cross the short stone steps of the stairs at the door.
Shen Yeling slowly put Luo Xiaoqi on the wheelchair, and was willing to let go only after putting it down steadily, he pushed Luo Xiaoqi across the cement road all the way, and the old mother who passed by was curious, today their head of the family actually brought a wheelchair sister back after singing.
"Where did you buy this house from", Luo Xiaoqi wanted to ask this question as soon as he entered the door, but now he asked when he arrived at the hall where he was entertaining.
Shen Yeling lifted the wheelchair with Luo Xiaoqi through the last door railing of the hall with both hands before replying, "Manager Li of the theater found it for me, what's wrong."
Luo Xiaoqi shook his head, Manager Li of this theater found it by coincidence, this house was left by Luo Zhengting to his son Luo Mingyuan, in order to be afraid that he would not be able to inherit the family property, so he left it to him. Unexpectedly, Luo Xiaoqi found someone to buy it later, and the buyer was still Shen Yeling.
That day, she carried the coffin late at night to make Luo Zhengting lose face, but she wanted to force the missing Luo Mingyuan out, thinking that he was hiding in the house and not leaving, so she called a few veterans of the rivers and lakes who knew how to do some kung fu.
However, she will arrange some guards outside this mansion in the future, if Luo Mingyuan remembers the property given to him by his father one day, it will not be good to come here to make trouble.
was thinking about it, but I don't know when Xu Man got off the ground, got the news of Shen Yeling's return, and also went to the outside of the hall to see him with medicine.
When Shen Yeling saw that his wife was, he frowned, and hurriedly took the girl's hand and said with concern: "Why did you come out, shouldn't you have a good rest?"
Xu Man originally wanted to smile at him to answer, but her grin looked a little funny on her face that didn't reflect any blood, although her face was not good-looking, and her voice was a little weak, but her demeanor was as calm as Shen Yeling, and she should look like the mistress of this family. With the posture of a good wife and mother: "I don't worry, Erlang hasn't taken medicine yet, and it's not good if the medicine is too strong", she tilted her head, saw Luo Xiaoqi, her face was even more smiling, and she said with a friendly attitude: "Erlang, this is"?
"Ah Sheng", Shen Yeling didn't make much introduction, but as soon as he called Xu Man, he knew.
"Miss Luo, when I was in Beiping, Erlang said that it was your good, and I said that I must find you when I came to Xunyang", she said with a smile in her eyes, with a little tenderness, she was so tender to everyone she met: "The girl is really handsome, really good-looking, I like it when I see it."
"Ah Sheng, this is my wife."
Luo Xiaoqi hadn't heard anyone say this about her for a long time, and Xu Man smiled as if she was sincere. In the past, she was used to hearing the fake flattery of others in front of her, and she was coldly mocking behind her, listening to his wife praise herself so seriously, and she was so serious that she didn't look like a lie, she felt inexplicably warm in her heart, and shouted according to the relationship: "Auntie."
When she said this, Shen Yeling and his wife were stunned for a moment, his wife walked over with difficulty, squatted down and held her hand, squatting slowly, Luo Xiaoqi's hand was white, her hand was even more, and the color of the two hands was almost the same when they were held together.
"Call me Xiaoman, I like you to call me that, kindly."
"Auntie, isn't it kinder?"
Xu Man shook his head, looked back at Shen Yeling, who picked up the decoction and drank it for himself, and turned his head again: "Tell my aunt to give a red envelope, I don't have the money to give it."
What excuse Xu Man said, Luo Xiaoqi wanted to refute but couldn't help but smile, and said helplessly: "I don't accept your red envelopes, and I recognize you as my aunt."
Xu Man still shook his head, was helped up by the maid beside him, took Shen Yeling's empty medicine bowl, said sorry and left.
Luo Xiaoqi struggled to move the wheels on both sides of the wheelchair and pushed forward, getting closer to Shen Yeling, and Shen Yeling also squatted down to help her untie the red cloak.
"I seem to have seen this aunt somewhere, just ten years ago, I saw it in Xunyang", Luo Xiaoqi said, his smart eyes looked at Shen Yeling as if he was thirsting for an answer.
Shen Yeling carefully folded the red cloak and handed it to the subordinate standing on the edge of the corner, nodded and did not respond.
Luo Xiaoqi ignored him and continued: "Xiaoman is good, better than Miss Hang, suitable for being a daughter-in-law."
Shen Yeling squatted in front of Luo Xiaoqi to help her pull her sleeves and arrange her hair, he stopped when he heard this, he only remembered that ten years ago, the 'Miss Hang' in Luo Xiaoqi's mouth was the matchmaker designated by the Luo family, and at that time, the girl and the old mother would joke around Luo Xiaoqi and ask her through Shen Yeling: "How is Miss Hang?"
At that time, she had disgust written on her face, and her eyes showed dissatisfaction: "How can she be worthy of my uncle, and the person who can be worthy of it is not the Xian'e of the Heavenly Palace." In the future, if my uncle marries someone, he will marry someone like this, and then I will make my uncle's wedding beautiful in three books and six ceremonies, so that the whole Xunyang, and everyone in the world will know that my uncle Luo Yunsheng is the best." Until now, Shen Yeling has not become the best person in the world, and she has no aunt like Xian'e in her mouth, but Luo Xiaoqi seems to be satisfied with Xiaoman.
Maybe the Xian'e in Luo Xiaoqi's mouth back then was not born in the Heavenly Palace as people thought in their hearts, but as long as Shen Yeling was married, it was Xian'e.
Xu Man went back to the house after coming out for a while, she didn't have the strength to have dinner with Luo Xiaoqi and Shen Yeling, she took out all the money she had, wrapped it in red paper, and asked the maid next to her to send it to Luo Xiaoqi.
Luo Xiaoqi took the red envelope, took the soup handed over by Shen Yeling, and said with a smile: "This time I can really call my aunt."
Shen Yeling looked at Luo Xiaoqi's face with slight joy, nodded, still didn't say anything, he said slowly after a long time: "Ah Sheng, do you like it here?"
"Hmm", she replied childlike innocence.
Shen Yeling smiled at the sunset on the horizon and said, "Then you can treat this as your home, and this will be your home in the future."
"Okay", her face was slightly hot, a little red, and it seemed to be even redder when she was illuminated by the sunset on the horizon.
The last fallen leaves of Xunyang blew in the large courtyard outside their door, and the leaves were already blackened, and they were thrown on the ground to make it disappear when they saw it.
But thirteen years ago, there was a teenager who didn't think so, and thirteen years ago, like this leaf, was helpless, and didn't even have any hope of starting over. Of course, his name is not Shen Yeling, it is a stage name given to him by the master who named him in Beiping. He is not called Shen Huai'an, because it is the scientific name given to him by Jiang Yuan in the Luojia School.
He was originally called Sixteen, because his mother was born on the sixteenth when she gave birth to him, and he was named by the day, and his mother was a prostitute, and she had no father, and she didn't know who his father was, and he lived with his mother in a brothel until she was six years old, and she couldn't stay any longer.
'What future can he have in the brothel?' his mother thought about it for a long time and pondered for half a month, and short-sightedly led him to the master of the opera troupe to sign ten on the deed of sale, and he sold it to the opera garden. Since then, his opera career has begun.
There is a senior brother in his troupe who has a hot temper, but he is simple and righteous, and he is really good to him. One of them plays Hua Dan and the other plays Wusheng, just enough to make up a pair of "Prison Mandarin Ducks".
One day, a landlord invited them to sing, and the master ordered them to learn well, and formed a pair on stage and received unanimous praise. The two seemed to be mixed up, and after that, many scenes made them Allah's horns.
A bowl of poison that came out of nowhere, with seven points of jealousy and three points of cruelty, was sent into Sixteen's mouth, poisoning his throat, he couldn't sing, and finally separated from the troupe that was going to Beiping.
He had a love of cleanliness, but he didn't know when he got up and couldn't tell whether the coarse linen was black or white, and his unkempt hair covered a lot of lice and fleas, he turned his orchid fingers, opened his mouth and tried several times, but he couldn't shout, and finally had to give up. He knew that he would never be able to sing in the future, how could he sing without a voice, and what could he do if he couldn't sing.
After tossing and turning, a piece of baked bread was thrown in front of him, but he did not pick it up, but let the baked cake be snatched by a little beggar in his hand, he was also hungry, but did not want to eat it. He wanted to die, he wanted to be starved to death.
It was an old woman with luggage who threw him the cake, the corners of her eyes were overflowing with crow's feet, a few wrinkles were carved on her forehead, and the black spots the size of rice squeezed the obvious cheekbones on both sides of her, looking old. But she is well-dressed, and has the temperament of a dignified lady of a large family, but after thinking about the old woman carefully for a while, she feels that she is a family member who has come to seek refuge with relatives, because how can there be an old lady from a large family who does not take a car and walks.
She took out another piece of baked cake from the bag and put it in his hand: "Eat quickly, I really can't protect food", the old lady wiped the sweat on her forehead, got up and walked forward, thinking that this is a good deed to accumulate virtue.
The old lady thought about it, put her hands together reverently, and kept reciting in her heart: Buddha bless. Sure enough, the hem of her cheongsam was pulled, and she thought that her piety had touched the Buddha, and the Buddha came to give her a reaction.
Sixteen lay down for too long and her legs were numb, and she stood up and wanted to pull the clothes on the old lady's shoulders, but unfortunately she had no strength to fall, so she could only drag her trouser legs helplessly.
The old lady was helpless, she didn't dislike the mud on his hands and pulled him up, patted the ash on his face, revealing a fair and delicate face, which looked better in the sun, and the old lady took a look: "Yo, this girl is really handsome."
He now turned his head to the dirty face, his hair was scattered and he couldn't distinguish between men and women, because in the troupe, the master carefully taught Dan the horns, how to raise his hands and how to walk, which was deeply impressed in his mind, and now he can't tell whether he is a man or a woman, and he can't speak, let alone make people confused.
The old lady looked at his daughter and behaved vividly, she was really a weak little girl, who could bear to leave him with such a good-looking little girl: "What is the girl's name?"
He couldn't speak, so he squatted down on the ground and wrote these two words, 'Sixteen', and he could only write these two words, which his senior brother asked someone to ask and draw for him to see. He has remembered those two words ever since, and it was his name.
