Chapter 10: The Patriarch of a Family
Thousands of miles away. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Nanfeng Country, Tien Giang Province.
The old house of the Su family.
The man stood silently in the room, facing the wall like a wooden man without saying a word, his broad arms and resolute back as majestic as a mountain.
As one of the four major families in Tianjiang Province, the Su family has a long history and strong strength, and no one can underestimate the influence of the Su family, and this honor is an indelible existence.
However, the man was not happy at the moment.
Su Yuyun, the patriarch of the Su family, has locked himself in his room for several days, cutting off all contact with the outside world except for the necessary food and drink every day.
He didn't have the heart to think about anything else, because his daughter hadn't come back yet!
Today is the third day, and Su Xiaoxiao and his party still haven't heard from us. According to the original plan, they should have returned last week, and no matter how long they delayed these few days, they could receive the news, but so far Su Yuyun has found nothing, they are like evaporating from the world, no one is alive, no one is dead, no body is dead.
Could it be that they encountered an accident in the Hundred Ghost Forest? Thinking of this, Su Yuyun clenched his fists with remorse.
It's useless to regret it now, as the head of the clan, he should think more about how to deal with the current crisis. Should we continue to wait and hope for their safe return, or should we mobilize a limited number of men to come to the rescue and make a final gamble?
What to do......
Knock knock.
There was a sudden knock on the door from behind, and Su Yuyun had to retract his thoughts.
"Who?" he asked, frowning slightly, dissatisfied.
"Patriarch, it's me. A respectful voice came from outside the door.
"Come in, old horse. ”
With a creak, the man known as the old horse outside the door gently pushed the door and walked in. He first looked at Su Yuyun carefully, and after finding that the other party had always turned his back to him, he shook his head regretfully, closed the door and slowly approached.
"What's the matter?" asked Su Yuyun without looking back, still staring at the wall.
"Patriarch, there's a guest. The old horse whispered.
"No!" Hearing the other party's words, Su Yuyun was a little angry, and deliberately increased his voice, "Didn't I tell you that I have to recuperate in the past few days, and I won't see any guests! ”
Feeling the patriarch's dissatisfaction, Lao Ma did not panic, but continued to whisper: "Patriarch, the guest who came is him." ”
"Who do I care who he is, no one!" Hearing Lao Ma's disobedience, Su Yuyun turned around suddenly, and was about to have a seizure, but when he saw Lao Ma's respectful appearance, he suddenly realized something, "Old Ma, you mean...... He's coming?"
"Yes, Patriarch. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't dare bother you. The old horse smiled slightly, looked directly into Su Yuyun's eyes, and seemed to be pointing.
"It's actually him......" Tacitly exchanging glances with the other party, Su Yuyun sighed deeply, as if surprised, and as if helpless, "If he didn't come, this matter would be stable, but now that he is here, this matter, eighty percent is ruined!"
"Patriarch, he's in the living room right now. As if he hadn't heard the other party's words, the old horse said to himself, "Look, are you in the past now, or ......?"
"Don't see him, let him go back?" Su Yuyun looked at the door in a daze, as if he could see the guest who was separated by a few walls.
He gritted his teeth hard, and a few bruises popped up on his face, as if he had made some decision, but soon he shook his head in embarrassment, his expression distorted, as if he had done something wrong.
"No, although he has always been at odds with our Su family, it is not yet time to tear his face, now it is better to have more than one thing, not to mention, now we also need his help. Finally, Su Yuyun was ruthless and made a decision, "Old Ma, take me to see him now!"
"Yes, Patriarch. After receiving the order, the old horse was not ambiguous, and immediately turned around and opened the door to lead the way for the patriarch.
He, at last, came.
I just don't know if it's a blessing or a curse.
......
......
The Su family is worthy of being the first of the four major families, not only has a strong strength, but its ancient heritage and thick history are beyond the reach of any emerging family.
Sitting in the living room of the Su family's old house, Luo Tianchi said with emotion.
This was not the first time he had sat here - fine rosewood chairs, coffee tables, and antique jade tea sets, every ornament in the house, every flower ornament with a strong historical charm, they were silent, but they were always telling the ancient and long legend about the Su family like guests.
"Ah Fu, you say, can we also make the house like theirs?" said a handsome young man sitting on a stool with Erlang's legs crossed, pointing to the ceiling and smiling.
"This ...... Young Master, you said the same thing the last time you came to their house. The middle-aged man named Ah Fu replied helplessly, "But after you went home, you said that it was too troublesome and impractical to make it like this, so you still don't do it." ”
This helpless middle-aged man is naturally the housekeeper Ah Fu, and the willful young master who is sitting is named Luo Tianchi, handsome and chic, with extraordinary intelligence, which can be described as a young and promising.
Compared with his own appearance and intelligence, when it comes to Luo Tianchi, people often think of him with a dazzling halo - Luo Hao's only son, the future patriarch of the Luo family, and the current acting patriarch, Young Master Luo Tianchi.
"Ah Fu, I'm not joking this time. Luo Tianchi stretched out a finger and shook it disdainfully, and said, "I, Luo Tianchi, have always been true to my word, and when you go back in a while, you should buy what you want, I will definitely not regret it!"
After hearing this, Ah Fu was not much more relaxed, but even more depressed: "Eh, young master, you said the same thing last time......
"What did you say?" Luo Tianchi glanced at him and asked in a low voice.
"Nothing, nothing...... Young Master, it's all up to you!" Ah Fu was taken aback, with a smile on his face, and waved his hand again and again.
Hearing Ah Fu's words, Luo Tianchi nodded with great satisfaction, and continued to lean on the back of the chair with Erlang's legs crossed, leisurely admiring the ancient decoration of the Su family.
No one came to entertain them, not even a single subordinate, there were always only the two of them in the Su family's living room, as if they had been forgotten, they were deliberately left in this empty hall by the Su family.
Ah Fu knew that his Young Master Luo was a person with an anxious personality, and he would definitely not be able to endure the long wait, but to Ah Fu's surprise, Young Master Luo actually sat firmly in the chair, both his expression and demeanor were calm.
The long wait made Ah Fu a little irritable, and he was just about to walk out of the living room to ask someone for an explanation, but he ran into a burly middle-aged man.
"Keep you two waiting. The other party slowly walked into the living room and said lightly.
"Patriarch Su, is you feeling better? The junior Luo Tianchi came to see you on behalf of his father. ”
"Look at me, you guys, wish I had died sooner!"
