Chapter 482: Cold and Warm
Chapter 482: Cold and Warm
His younger brother's future is in his own hands, and Li Xin has never asked Li Ming to be admitted to Xiucai and get ahead. "Yawen Romance Bar"
She only has one of the purest concerns about Li Ming.
Li Xin just smiled at Aunt Wei's words, and now she is more concerned about Guan Wen.
Dusk is approaching, sprinkled with a golden yellow.
And Guan Wen still hasn't returned.
Lao Guantou was dragging his legs in the yard, Guan Wu was supporting him on the side, and the grandfather and grandson said a few words from time to time.
Ah Mei accompanied Aunt Wei to talk, and did needlework by the way. Aunt Wei is old, her eyes are not good, and she just looks at the movements of Ah Mei's hands with empty eyes, which makes Ah Mei work much slower than usual.
Xing'er watched Yang'er and Xiaokang laughing, sat with Li Xin, and occasionally said a few words to distract Li Xin's attention.
She was also a little distressed when she saw Li Xin looking forward to seeing her like this.
Feng Defa came up from the bevel, and Li Xin stood up suddenly.
Feng Defa shook his head slightly: "I didn't see Brother Guan come back." β
Li Xin immediately hung her head in disappointment, sat down again, and bit her lower lip.
"That's it......"
Guan Wen went early in the morning, and no matter how long he delayed, he would not come back until now. He obviously knew that Li Xin was worriedβwhen he left, Li Xin's face was almost pale.
"Sister-in-law......" Xing'er looked at her worriedly: "Wait a little longer......"
Li Xin stood up suddenly: "I'll go to the entrance of the village and wait." β
"It's all at this time...... Sister-in-law! β
Xing'er still needs to be persuaded, Li Xin has already taken a big step and strode down to the slope, and Feng Defa hurriedly chased after her. Not far from Li Xin, he said, "Sister-in-law Guan, I'll wait with you on the side......"
Li Xin nodded quickly, and walked towards the entrance of the village like wind under his feet.
The big oak tree at the entrance of the village is lonely. There was no one gathered down there to gamble and play tricks. It seems that the place is a bit desolate.
Li Xin crossed his arms, staring at the loess flying avenue at the entrance of the village, and suddenly complained to himself: Why didn't you go with Guan Wen this morning?
If we go together, we can finally know what happened to him, and we don't have to wait so anxiously......
Feng Defa looked at Li Xin, then at the entrance of the village, leaning his back against the big oak tree and bowing his head slightly.
It's already dark, if there is no man to accompany Sister-in-law Guan, what if she meets Deng's disciple?
Feng Defa was also a little anxious - where did Brother Guan go? Sister-in-law Guan has never been like this before. I hurriedly went to the entrance of the village and waited.
While thinking about it, he suddenly heard Guan's sister-in-law shouting: "Awen! β
.
The clatter of horses' hooves approached, and the sound became more and more hollow. After Li Xin's shout, Guan Wen's slightly weaker voice sounded: "I'm here." β
Li Xin ran forward in three steps and two steps, and Guan Wen fell off his horse.
"Arwen!"
Li Xin immediately pounced on him, and Feng Defa hurriedly grabbed the reins of the horse.
Guan Wen came back on a horse, and this scene made Feng Defa really shocked.
"I'm not very good at horseback riding...... Guan Wen smiled bitterly: "Ah...... Xin'er, slow down, my legs ...... It seems to be a little broken. β
"You ......"
Li Xin hurriedly and carefully hugged his chest and back to help him stand up, Guan Wen crossed one foot and gasped, and then smiled at Li Xin: "Come to pick me up at the entrance of the village?" β
Li Xin responded with a "hmm", carefully. Even some didn't dare to touch it, and patted Guan Wen's crossed leg and slapped the ash off it.
"Brother Guan, are you okay?"
Feng Defa grabbed the reins of the horse and turned his head to ask Guan Wen. Guan Wen noticed that Feng Defa was also there, and was stunned before saying, "Brother Feng is also there...... Then please help me to get on the horse. Take the horse back. β
"This horse ......" Feng Defa touched the mane of the horse: "I have never seen such a tall horse......"
Guan Wen laughed in a trance. motioned for Feng Defa to put him on horseback.
Li Xin stood on the side of the horse and looked at him worriedly: "Are you okay?" β
"It's fine."
Feng Defa led the horse, and Li Xin followed the horse's side. From time to time, he turned his head sideways to look at Guan Wen.
Guan Wen seemed to be asleepβto be exact, he was closing his eyes and recuperating, as if he was very tired. Even as the horse moved slowly and at a steady pace, he was still breathing heavily, as if he had run a long distance.
When he arrived at the slope, Feng Defa directly dragged the horse up the slope.
Guan Wu exclaimed, stepped forward to help Feng Defa help Guan Wen down, and sat him in the hall.
Yang'er and Xiaokang circled around this behemoth that suddenly appeared, and then ran to the hall one after another, and were scolded by Xing'er and Li Xin to go to sleep.
Aunt Wei has already gone to sleep, Lao Guan also slept, Ah Mei took Yang'er and Xiaokang to wash and sleep, and only Guan Wen and Guan Wu were left in the hall.
"What's going on?" Guan Wu asked with some consternation, "Big brother, did you go to the town to buy a horse?" β
Xing'er suddenly glared at Guan Wu, and said angrily: "Big brother is going to the Yamen!" β
"Oh yes, yes, I know about it......" Guan Wu scratched his head: "But...... How do you get a horse back? β
Guan Wenchang sighed: "Someone else sent it." β
"Who sent it?"
Guan Wen licked his lips, Li Xin hurriedly handed water to his mouth, Guan Wen took it and drank it all, sighed and said, "It's hard to say." β
Li Xin sat down and moved his gaze to Guan Wen's lap: "What's the matter with your leg?" β
Guan Wen stretched out his hand and patted the good leg, and said, "I fell on the road." β
"Awen......" Li Xin frowned and looked at him: "How can I believe such a statement?" β
Xing'er looked at Guan Wen, then at Li Xin, pulled Guan Wu and said, "I'm sleepy, let's go back and rest." β
As he spoke, he dragged Guan Wu out of the hall without saying anything, and Guan Wu's puzzled words of "I left before I asked what I was doing" floated into the air.
The two of them looked at each other, and Li Xin forced Guan Wen not to avoid her gaze.
After a long time, Guan Wen sighed. Standing up with a stool and said, "Xin'er, let's go back to the room." β
The lamp was lit up in the room, Guan Wen stared at the light of the candle flame flickering slightly, and said calmly: "I only found out today, sometimes." It's not that we want to live a peaceful life. I will be able to live a peaceful life. β
Li Xin removed the cover and dialed the wick, and when he heard the movement, he put the cover and looked back at Guan Wen: "What did the county master do to you?" β
Guan Wen smiled sarcastically, shook his head slightly, and said, "It's just that they interrogated me for a few hours, asked me what else I heard that night, and asked me why those ringing horses lived in the empty courtyard of the old house. β
Li Xin frowned suddenly, and his voice was a little sharp: "It's clear that it has nothing to do with you!" β
Guan Wen shrugged: "The county master can't pry words from the mouths of those ringing horses, and even Second Sister Qiao only doesn't know, so he can only ask me." β
"Is that like a word!"
"Yes. It's just that unusual. Guan Wen looked up at Li Xin: "The people don't fight with the officials, and the officials and businessmen collude...... How can we little people be able to contend with it? β
Li Xin looked at Guan Wen in surprise: "Awen, you ......"
"Xin'er. I just got a point. Guan Wen grabbed Li Xin and looked at her with straight eyes: "People live in this world, if you want to live a dull life, then it's best not to provoke anything." Once provoked, ordinary days will not pass. Well, unless you have power, or you have money, you have power...... Otherwise, you will always be trampled under your feet. β
Li Xin muttered in a daze: "Ah Wen......"
"That's the most realistic thing."
Guan Wen gently let go of his hand, repeated Li Xin's action to uncover the cover, and dialed the wick. Make the light brighter, then put it back in the hood and stare at the glowing place, your gaze becoming misty.
"Do you know Xin'er, the county master interrogated me for a few hours. Lu Zhutou didn't come to help me say a word. After the county magistrate's interrogation. Another master came to interrogate - he still has a friendship with Sun Hongyan and knows that I have a close relationship with Sun Hongyan. And then there were a few servants. Even in the end, Lu Zhutou said, I will say everything I know. β
Guan Wen paused and said, "They didn't believe it, I only heard the woman's screams that night." They thought that if I heard a woman screaming in the middle of the night, it would be impossible for me to go back to sleep. β
Li Xin squatted in front of Guan Wen, reached out to hug his legs, and rested his head on his lap.
Guan Wen stretched out his hand and touched her hair, and said, "Later, the county master lost his patience, and it took so much time to get no gain, so he was angry and raised his leg and kicked me." β
Guan Wen seemed to be talking about other people's affairs: "I limped out of the county office with my legs in tow, turned a street, but happened to see Xue Ye riding a horse." When he saw me like this, he said he would take me to be healed, and when I said that I would go back when it was dark, he said that he would help me get the carriage back. The person next to him reminded him that he seemed to have something important to do, so Xue Ye asked me apologetically if I could ride a horse, and he left a horse for me. I didn't want to bother him too much, so I said yes, and he left the horse for me before leaving in a hurry. β
Guan Wen lightly picked up Li Xin's chin and said, "This is the warmth and coldness of human feelings." There are no interests involved, and everyone may be good brothers and good friends. And when interests are involved, friends may become enemies. β
Guan Wen sighed: "Xin'er, we have fallen into the mud, either we will sink to the bottom of the mud, or we will come out of the mud and no longer be bound by the mud." Power and wealth, I always have to get the same, to be the capital of my life. β
"Awen ......" Li Xin stared at him tightly, "What are you...... What do you mean? β
Guan Wen smiled at her: "It doesn't mean anything else, it's just that I figured it out." β
Guan Wen said: "The county master may not let me go yet, I'm afraid I won't be able to calm down during this time." But that's not the most important thing. β
Guan Wen stretched out his hand and led Li Xin to sit beside him, he reached out and hugged her and said, "The most important thing is that I am safe now." Xin'er, you're scared. β
Li Xin suddenly wanted to cry aggrieved.
She shed a tear, as if burning Guan Wen's hand. Guan Wen trembled all over, hugged Li Xin and said, "I want our family to become richer, rich enough to be in this Hui County, and no one will dare to beat us for our crooked ideas." I promise you this promise for twenty years. β
Guan Wen said: "I will spend 20 years to let our children and grandchildren worry-free. βRQ
