Chapter 21: Childe Xiaobai

When the master came to the side room, there was no sound of politeness in the house, it was estimated that Yanli fell asleep and knocked on the door gently.

Hongyu guessed that it was Childe, and walked straight over to open the door.

"Hongyu has seen her husband." Ruby salutes.

Although the master didn't dare to tell the truth, he didn't want to get too close to Hongyu, and said: "In the future, these cumbersome etiquette will be waived, just be simple." Yanli slept? ”

"Gongzi Xie is sympathetic, Yanli has slept all afternoon, he hasn't slept like this for a long time." Ruby said, the corners of her eyes moistened.

"Rest assured, there won't be any more of what happened a few days ago."

Hongyu cried even more when she heard this, and said: "Childe has this, our mother and son, it's worth dying." ”

"Hey, don't say these bad things."

"Childe, Hongyu saw that Childe had shaved his long hair, and he spoke so strangely, did something happen? I heard that Childe was intercepted and killed at the border and almost lost his life. Is there such a thing? ”

Xiao Ye didn't want to show that he was not the son Xiaobai, for fear that the mother and son would fall into despair here, but he didn't want to recognize Xiaobai's identity, so he had to say: "This matter is a long story." I'll talk to you slowly when I have the chance. ”

"yes, okay." Ruby didn't ask any more questions.

Yanli was probably disturbed by the two of them, and sat up with his eyes rubbed.

"Daddy, I dreamed of you in my dream just now, and I dreamed that Daddy and I wrote big characters together." Yan Lijiao said.

"Oh, can you write big characters? Write a few and see. "The master liked this child at first sight, most likely not because Yanli was well-behaved, but because he had a similar experience with Yanli when he was a child, but Yanli met Xiaoye, and Xiaoye never waited for his father.

Xiao Ye had already secretly decided that as long as he was alive, he would let the mother and son live in peace.

"I'll go get some pen and paper." Hongyu looked at the side room, and said without seeing a pen and paper.

"No need, I'll take Yanli to the main hall to write." As soon as the master said, he got up and walked to Yanli, and the two of them, one big and one small, opened their arms tacitly.

The young master picked up Yanli and returned to the main hall and found pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Kneeling in front of the coffee table with a dignified manner, he has a scholarly demeanor.

"What words will be written in Yanli?" The master asked.

"I can write many, many words." Yanli said proudly.

"It's all taught by the gentleman?"

"It was taught by my father and mother." Respond with courtesy.

It seems that Xiaobai often accompanies Yanli, he doesn't dare to be a good husband, but a good father.

Although Yanli is young, as he said, he can really write a lot of words, although the words are distorted, but he can see that he is working hard to write well. Thanks to the master who practiced calligraphy when he was a child, he is dignified after a few strokes.

The freshman talked and laughed, and before he knew it, an hour passed, and the master liked to be polite more and more. On such days, in terms of etiquette, who is not envious of the master. Fortunately, the master and they were peaceful for a while. It's winter.

The winter in Jiangyang is much colder than in Beijing, with strong winds all day long, thicker and thicker snow, and the river frozen, and the whole Jiangyang has lost its life, and most of the people are squatting at home, holding the stove and drinking small wine.

The life of the young master is no different, which has kept him safe for several months, the horror of being hunted down in the past is getting lighter and lighter, and the company of words and rites has made his empty heart have too much comfort.

Wu regrets came to teach the master tricks every day, but he didn't mention how to use that powerful internal force. The master understood that it was estimated that Wu Ji had not yet found a method to teach him how to use his powerful internal force, and he was embarrassed to expose it, so he had to wait.

Miss Yunzhu is coming every day, and the master is mostly coping, but he is no longer tired of Yunzhu's visit these days, not looking forward to Yunzhu, but thinking about Fangfang. In the master's place, Fangfang has already become the girl who has time to confess in the future, this kind of liking, the master can't tell whether he really likes it or Fangfang makes him confused in time and space, and has the feeling of returning to modern times.

Zhuang Gong's place, the master was invited to go there several times because of some ceremonial things, and each time Zhuang Gong wanted to leave the master to eat, talk about books, or comment on policies.

And there is the academy, the master has never been there again, not because of the humiliation last time. Instead, arriving at the academy was like going to school, which made him very uncomfortable.

The four sons of Zhuang Gong all visited, and they were all polite and flattering, but they were very respectful to this rumored fool.

Gongzi often sends people to send some big supplements and send a sentence: it will help with dementia recovery.

The master knew the irony, but he accepted it correctly, and then asked Zhu Jiu to exchange it for money and distribute it to the servant.

Come and don't be rude, but the young master has made up his mind to "hide", and he almost stays at home, even if he goes out, he walks around the deep courtyard or goes to the palace, so he never visits Jiangyang's wealthy family.

The people in the city talked about it everywhere, coupled with Gongzi's deep description, the people of Jiangyang and even the entire Fang Kingdom said that there was a big fool living in this deep courtyard. It's also because this young master is even more reluctant to go out, he hates being watched by a group of women, and he hates being pointed at even more, and he has long been used to words like big fools, but it's better that he still can't hear it.

The noon sun is getting farther and farther away from the tea days in the main hall of the master, and it is slowly moving towards the door, and the spring flowers outside the hall are holding back their strength and are about to bloom.

The young man who was safe and sound in the winter spent a few days of leisure. In the evening of this day, the early spring was warm and cold, and a snow made Jiangyang, which had been warm for a few days, fall into the cold again, and the young master looked at the impermanent weather and was thinking about how to tell the truth to Hongyu.

Zhu Jiu came to the main hall in a panic and reported to the master: "Childe, I don't know what to say." ”

"But what's not to say directly?"

"Lao Zhang, who had just guarded the door, asked me to go out, saying that there was an old family looking for me, and the little one didn't think much about it, so he went to the front of the hospital, and saw a tightly wrapped man in black, and asked him to say that he was Xiaobai, and asked the little one not to make a noise, and the small one carefully identified, judging from the appearance and words and deeds, he is more like the son Xiaobai than the son. He also said he wanted to see you. Zhu Jiu said in horror.

"I didn't expect him to be alive. I was finally able to get out. The master was pleasantly surprised, and thought of it in his heart.

"Take me there." Xiao Ye couldn't wait to say.

Master Zhu Jiu came to the outside of the courtyard, and the man in black who was tightly wrapped was still standing in the snow, and his body was wrapped in black cloth, only his eyes were missing. This would not be surprising in winter, given that it was both wind and snow today.

"Are you a child?" The young master walked forward and asked.

"I'm a novice, but please be quiet and quiet. I'm here to ask for something. The man in black said in a hoarse voice.

"Oh, it's too cold here, and it's not a place to talk, so let's talk in the courtyard." Master invited.

Xiao Bai did not refuse, a pair of crutches stretched out from under the black robe to the ground, so as to move a step forward, seeing this, Xiao Ye and Zhu Jiu hurriedly supported forward.

Xiaobai may have known that he was walking too hard, so he didn't refuse to help him, and nodded slightly in thanks.

The three of them came to the main hall, and Zhu Jiu retired. Xiao Ye did not let him leave, but asked him to stay outside the door and not let others enter.

Xiao Bai looked around the house and saw that there was no one else in the house, so he removed the black cloth wrapped around his head, and a mirror image person who was exactly the same as Xiao Ye stood opposite Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye was a little surprised, even since he was considered Xiaobai, he knew that this Xiaobai should be the same as him, but he couldn't help but be surprised when he saw a real person.

There was no surprised expression on Xiaobai's face, perhaps he had secretly seen the master, and said: "Don't be afraid, Childe is not here to get his identity back, but to implore Childe to protect my family." ”

"Xiaobai, I can't wait to get rid of this Xiaobai's identity, so that I can live, so that I can have the opportunity to return to the place where I came from, and where do I have to be afraid." The master said.

"I have made up my mind, whether you accept it or not, you will not be able to see me again in the future." Xiaobai said firmly.

"Then you can just hide and don't show up, why bother." The master asked.

"I have been plotting to protect my family for five years, and I will be able to protect my whole family in the future, and no one else knows the contact information and password except me, and I will tell you all this today for a rainy day." Xiaobai said.

When the master heard this, he knew that he was here to entrust the future, but the master didn't want to recognize Xiaobai's identity. postponed and said: "I have no scheming, I don't want to frame others, even if someone helps, I'm afraid I can't protect myself, and how to protect your whole family, it's too difficult." I just want to live and have a chance to go back to the time I was supposed to be. ”

Hearing this, Xiaobai threw his crutches and fell to the ground, revealing a half-amputated leg and another leg that could not be straightened.
