Chapter 27: The Search for the Truth

Song Mountain, at the foot of Shaomuro Mountain. Chi Jiayi was riding on a horse and was heading up the mountain.

As the mountain road became rougher, Chi Jiayi slowed down and looked around as he walked. Finally, there was a burst of mountain singing in his ears, and Chi Jiayi followed the song and stepped forward.

After doing the tea work, I saw a woodcutter collecting firewood. Chi Jia got off the horse as soon as he got off the horse, stepped forward and said slightly: "This old man, looking for friends in this Shaomu Mountain, but I don't know the specific address, I want to ask you to inquire." “

The woodcutter is about his early sixties, and he still comes out to work on firewood at such an old age, and his family background is not very good, and the old woodcutter heard Chi Jiayi's question, and saw that the young man was polite, and his heart was happy, and he replied immediately: "The young man is polite, my old man has lived in this Shaomuro Mountain all his life, but you ask each other, I know one or two about everyone." “

Chi Jia was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "Then thank you old man, I want to find the home of my brother Qiao Feng, whose father's surname is Qiao and his name is Sanhuai." I don't know if the old man knows. “

The old woodcutter was stunned when he heard this, then looked at Chi Jiayi carefully, and said, "You are Feng'er's sworn brother?" I'm Qiao Sanhuai. “

Chi Jiayi didn't expect such a coincidence, so he greeted his father-in-law at the moment. Qiao Sanhuai stopped collecting firewood at the moment, and happily led Chi Jiayi to his home.

But he said that Chi Jiayi didn't want Qiao Feng's adoptive father and adoptive mother to be killed, so after leaving the apricot forest, he got a horse and went all the way to Shaomu Mountain. In the original book, Qiao Feng sold the horse two days later and walked to his home, so the Qiao couple were killed.

After a while, they arrived at Qiao Sanhuai's house in two days. A small courtyard is located in Shaofu Shanyang, and from a distance, you can see the jujube trees in the vegetable garden. Before Qiao Sanhuai arrived at the door, he shouted at home: "Old woman, kill the chickens in the house, there is a distinguished guest in the house, and he is Feng'er's righteous brother." “

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the hall opened, and an old woman came out, with a kind face. was looking over here, saw Qiao Sanhuai and Chi Jiayi and said, "Is it really Feng'er's brother?" How has Feng'er been raised now, and he won't come back to see it after so long. “

Qiao Sanhuai saw his wife chattering there, and said unhappily: "What are you still talking about here, hurry up and get some wine and food to entertain the guests." “

Qiao Shi also reacted at this time, and said immediately: "I'm going to kill a chicken." With that, he walked to the chicken coop in the courtyard.

Chi Jiayi hurriedly stopped and said, "Stepmother doesn't have to be like this, Brother Qiao and I are brothers in life and death, just treat them as our own people, and we don't have to bother entertaining them." He tied his horse to the fence at the door, took a large burden from his horse, and walked towards the courtyard. As he walked, he said: "I brought some ingredients, and I asked my stepmother to help make some food, and I drank two cups with my stepfather." “

Qiao Shi took the burden and said, "Why do you still bring these, oops, you don't have to bring anything next time." With that, he ran to the kitchen.

Chi Jiayi put his luggage in the room arranged by Qiao Sanhuai, but it was the bedroom that Qiao Feng had used before, and now he gave it to Chi Jiayi.

Then the two sat in the courtyard and chatted, most of them were Chi Jiayi talking, talking about Qiao Feng's news. Of course, for things in the apricot forest, Chi Jiayi will not talk much.

It didn't take much effort for the meal to be ready, Qiao Sanhuai took out the rice wine he had brewed, and the three of them ate it. At first, Qiao's was reluctant to share the table, but Chi Jiayi persuaded him for a long time, and finally threatened that he would not eat it himself, so he went to the table.

In this way, Chi Jiayi stayed at Qiao's house, and in addition to practicing the cheats given by Qiao Feng all day long, he drank and chatted with Qiao Sanhuai, and also helped to collect firewood together. Life is very leisurely, Chi Jiayi silently counted the days in his heart, and he didn't know when Xiao Yuanshan came.

After more than ten days like this, on this day, Chi Jiayi and Qiao Sanhuai finished collecting firewood in two days, and when they saw that the sun was already west, they packed up their things and went home. The two walked and chatted, and when they were about to get home, Chi Jia suddenly realized that he looked down the mountain, only to see a gray figure running quickly towards this side, Chi Jia's heart moved, knowing that this might be the person he had been waiting for.

Chi Jiayi turned to Qiao Sanhuai and said, "Father-in-law, there is an acquaintance coming down the mountain, you go back first, and I'll go say hello." “

Qiao Sanhuai didn't doubt him, so he said goodbye to Chi Jia and walked towards the courtyard, saying that he would take his friends to the house to sit down, and he went back to prepare the wine and food first.

Chi Jiayi smiled bitterly, this time it's a ruthless character who wants the lives of your husband and wife, and you still want to entertain this guy!

That is, Qiao Sanhuai had just entered the courtyard gate, Xiao Yuanshan had already come to Chi Jiayi's body, and after standing still, he observed Chi Jiayi. The more I look at it, the more I feel that Chi Jiayi is not simple, and his skills are never below him, and he is amazed at how this person is so young, how can he practice such kung fu.

Chi Jiayi was impatient by Xiao Yuanshan, and immediately said: "Who is Your Excellency, what is the so-called matter of coming to my brother's house." Chi Jia was afraid that Xiao Yuanshan would not know about his relationship with Qiao Feng, so he pointed it out immediately.

Xiao Yuanshan's eyes lit up after hearing this, and said: "Haha, you don't know if you want to come, Qiao Feng is now a Khitan sin that everyone shouts and beats, but now he is Xiao Feng, you still think he is the eldest brother?" “

Chi Jia said indifferently: "I bow to Brother Qiao, we are like-minded, but I don't care who he is, whether it is Qiao Feng or Xiao Feng." Your Excellency, would you like to tell me what you are here for? “

After hearing this, Xiao Yuanshan laughed out loud and said, "You are good, I came today, but I wanted to kill this Qiao couple, these two people knew the truth, but they didn't tell Xiao Feng, they really deserved to be killed." After speaking, he walked towards Qiao's house.

"Wait, Your Excellency, don't I exist? If you want to move my brother's family, you have to pass me. After speaking, Chi Jiayi stood in front of Xiao Yuanshan.

"Hmph, aren't you Xiao Feng's brother, these two have deceived Qiao Feng for many years, it's really hateful, why do you want to be in front of me?" Xiao Yuanshan said angrily.

"What can the Qiao couple do if they tell the eldest brother's identity? Could it be that since he was a child, he let his eldest brother live in the strange eyes of others, and was regarded as an orphan without a father or mother? Or living among the Song people who hate the Khitans, how do you let a little Khitan grow up? Chi Jiayi said calmly.

Xiao Yuanshan didn't expect Chi Jiayi to say this, thinking about it, it was really the case, if Xiao Feng knew that he was not biological, he could be happy since he was a child? If you know that you are not a Song person, how would you feel? The moment is tangled.

Seeing that what he said had an effect, Chi Jia immediately continued: "No matter what, the Qiao couple also have a nurturing grace for the eldest brother, which no one can erase. Do you want your eldest brother to live in grief and self-blame? ”

Xiao Yuanshan was shocked, looked at Chi Jiayi and said, "You're right, I almost killed my son." ”

As soon as Chi Jia heard this, he hurriedly said, "Who is Your Excellency?" You just said that Brother Xiao is your son? Are you the biological father of the eldest brother? ”

Xiao Yuanshan didn't expect that he would leak out of his mouth when he was excited, and he had to tell the truth at the moment: "Yes, I am Xiao Feng's father, Xiao Yuanshan." ”

"What? Are you my dad? A shocked voice came from a distance, Chi Jiayi and Xiao Yuanshan raised their eyes, but Xiao Feng had already arrived.

Chi Jiayi didn't expect it to be so coincidental, Xiao Feng actually happened to come back, and he happened to hear this sentence.

What followed was naturally a scene where father and son recognized each other, and when Xiao Feng heard that Xiao Yuanshan was preparing to kill the Qiao couple, he was startled, but fortunately he was stopped by Chi Jiayi.

The three of them discussed for a while, and then prepared to go to Qiao's house together to find out the matter. Things are going well, and the Qiao couple are also very happy that Xiao Feng found his biological father, after all, he is older, Xiao Feng is very filial, and he has no problem with his son finding his biological father.

So the five of them happily drank wine at Qiao's house.
