Chapter 68: Old Friends Reunited
After Ye Xiaoqi was released from Qingzhou by Shunping, he hurried to Qingfeng Village with his companions, but he never thought that he met Liu Zhongyi and others who went to rescue Chen Nian on the way, and then learned the news that Qingfeng Village's family members were killed by officers and soldiers. When Liu Zhongyi rushed to the accident site and witnessed everyone's death, Ye Xiaoqi couldn't help but cry bitterly on the spot. He is still different from Chen Nian, although Chen Nian lost his mother at a young age, he has a father-in-law to rely on, and Ye Xiaoqi has had no father and mother since he was a child, and he grew up eating a hundred family meals, and these people are already relatives to him.
"Chen Nian, are you leaving? Why don't you go back to the stockade with us? Because of the reason for crying, Ye Xiaoqi's voice was a little hoarse, and his eyes were red, just staring at Chen Nian tightly, waiting for her answer.
Chen Nian was a little inexplicable in the face of his eyes, and he didn't dare to look directly at his gaze, so he nodded lightly and said, "Well, you also know that my father-in-law and I have broken away from Qingfeng Village." ”
That night, when Mu Zhanyue threw Xue Zhi's head to Zhang Kuisu, he said that he would pay off the favor of Qingfeng Village, Ye Xiaoqi was present at the time, and he heard those words. But even so, Ye Xiaoqi was still a little unacceptable in his heart, he looked at Chen Nian, and asked, "But now that such a big thing has happened in the village, will you just follow that prince like this?" You don't care about the things in the stockade anymore? ”
Chen Nian pursed the corners of his lips, plucked up the courage to look up at Ye Xiaoqi's gaze, and replied calmly: "Yes, since we have left the village, we can no longer meddle in the affairs of the village." I came back this time to warn, and I have fulfilled my previous affection. ”
"Xie Chennian! How can you be so ruthless and unjust-" Ye Xiaoqi's eyes burst out with anger, and he was about to speak again but was stopped by Xiao Liu beside him, and reprimanded: "Xiao Qi! You shut up! Hugh is going to say some bastards! ”
Ye Xiaoqi didn't dare not listen to Xiaoliu's words, so he could only close his mouth at the moment, and only glared at her angrily.
Xiao Liu angrily pushed Ye Xiaoqi aside, turned back to Chen Nian and said, "Chen Nian, don't pay attention to him, he is making trouble again!" ”
Chen Nian smiled indifferently at Xiao Liu, and walked to Ye Xiaoqi and raised his eyes to look at him. There are too many things she can't tell him, but after more than ten years of affection, she can't watch him become a chess piece sacrificed by Zhang Kuisu like this... Let's go, take Koyanagi with me. ”
Ye Xiaoqi looked at Chen Nian in amazement, her choice to leave Qingfeng Village at this time was already unacceptable to him, and she didn't expect her to persuade him to leave at the most difficult time in the village. He didn't seem to know Chennian in front of him, and the disbelief and anger in his eyes finally turned into deep disappointment, and he shook his head and said, "Xie Chennian, I misjudged you before." Let's go, Qingfeng Village is just a place for you and your stepfather to stop, but it is home to me. People say that the family is ruined, and if the village is really gone one day, then I will die with it. ”
It's just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, and he hasn't even grown up yet, but his thin and thin shoulders are straightened like this, and his face is resolute to say these words, as if he is not talking about life and death at this moment, but just a simple promise that can't be simpler.
Chen Nian was already difficult to let go of the people in Qingfeng Village, and it was all because he was extremely disappointed in Zhang Kuisu for a while that he made the decision to leave, and at this moment he said that his nose was sour, and his eyes immediately turned red. She didn't want to defend herself anymore, so she only nodded and said, "Okay, everyone has their own ambitions, I won't stop you." If you want to find me where you can use me in the future, no matter what you think of me now, you Ye Xiaoqi has always been Xie Chennian's best brother. ”
After she finished speaking, she habitually stretched out her hand to pat Ye Xiaoqi's shoulder, but she took it back halfway, grinned at him with tears in her eyes, turned around and strode towards the carriage. Xiao Liu called her name from behind, Chen Nian paused at his feet but didn't look back, suddenly picked up his speed, ran forward two steps and got into the carriage.
Feng Junyang in the car raised his eyes in a little surprise, and saw that she did not come forward as before, but sat down against the wall of the carriage at the back of the car, bent her arms and knees tightly in front of her, and buried her head and face deep with her neck down. Although she couldn't hear the slightest crying, the slightly shaky shoulders revealed the pain in her heart at the moment. Feng Junyang couldn't help but sigh softly, knocked on the wall of the carriage with his fingers, and instructed Shunping outside: "Let's go." ”
The carriage continued on, slowly rocking again. When Chen Nian's shoulders gradually stabilized, Feng Junyang asked her softly, "Why didn't you tell him the truth?" ”
Chen Nian raised his head and wiped the tears on his face with the back of his hand, but the more the tears were wiped, and he simply wiped them with his sleeve. She is still wearing Feng Junyang's clothes, and the cuffs are wide and fat, which is very easy to use. Feng Junyang couldn't stand it, and handed over a handkerchief with a smile, "Such a big girl, but she doesn't even have a handkerchief on her body, and she is not afraid of making people laugh!" ”
Chen Nian unceremoniously took it and wiped his face indiscriminately, stuffed the handkerchief into his arms, raised his eyes to look at Feng Junyang who seemed to be smiling in front of him, and said angrily: "If you want to laugh, I'll laugh out loud, don't hold back." ”
As soon as she said this, Feng Junyang really burst out laughing, and when he saw her glaring at her, he hurriedly smiled again, and asked the question just now, "Why don't you tell Ye Xiaoqi the truth?" ”
Chen Nian replied: "He is too impatient and too scheming, if I tell him the truth, he will immediately go to Zhang Kuisu to ask for an explanation, and he will lose his life in vain." It's better to hide it from him like this, if you're lucky, maybe you can save a life. ”
Feng Junyang nodded slowly, seeing that Chen Nian's eyebrows were still not spreading, he thought about it and said: "If you still feel that you can't live in Qingfeng Village in your heart, then I'll tell you something, you call someone to tell Zhang Kuisu, even if you do something for those who died innocently and tragically." ”
Hearing this, Chen Nian asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Feng Junyang smiled slightly, and replied: "Who is this person who leaked the whereabouts of the Qingfeng Zhai family to Yang Gui, if it is not Zhang Kuisu as you said, then who will this traitor be." ”
"Who is it?" Chen Nian couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know who it is, but I think Zhang Kuisu should be able to find out if he wants to find out." Feng Junyang replied slowly, he saw Chen Nian showing a puzzled look, the corners of his lips hooked slightly, and continued: "I guess this person should have some status in Qingfeng Village, the family members are very simple, at least there are very few family members who go with Li Junming, there may only be a sister or a daughter, and they are not yet married in the boudoir." ”
