Since coming here, Wu Xie's purpose has never changed, he really wants to find out what happened to the little brother, and he also wants to know about the people and things related to Muyu.

Hearing that Wu Xie actually asked this, Zhang Haike hesitated a little and said: "Although they both belong to the Zhang family of the overseas branch, to be honest, I don't know as much about Zhang Haisi as I do about Zhang Qiling, and not all the people who belong to the overseas Zhang family get together." ”

"We have several separate little branch training sites near that along the southern coast." Zhang Haike said.

"The place where Zhang Haisi was trained from childhood to adulthood was Xiamen, and before I moved overseas, my lineage itself belonged to the system of the outer ethnic groups of my family, so I was trained in the main clan with Zhang Qiling when I was a child."

"It was also when Zhang Qixun appeared next to you that I first learned the name of Zhang Haisi." Zhang Haike shook his head in regret.

"Most of the information on his mission in Nanyang is secret, I don't have the authority to help you retrieve it, and since he returned to the master's house as an adult, the contact between Nanyang and him has been cut off, and I can't know more."

Wu Xie pursed his lips, "I know, then you can just talk about the little brother, the more detailed the better." ”

Zhang Haike nodded, "I have lived with the so-called little brother in your mouth for a long time, we have been participating in training together since he was two years old, do you know how many years ago when he was two years old?" ”

Wu Xie remembered that Muyu had mentioned before that the little brother belonged to the same generation as the grandfathers of his clans, and he just knew that Muyu's grandfather was from 1903, so according to this calculation, the little brother should be ......

Wu Xie's lips squirmed a few times, and he hesitated: "A hundred years? ”

The fat man who felt thirsty next to him moved down from the edge of the bed, and was standing at the table with a teapot and tilting his head to pour tea into his mouth, but he was shocked by Wu Xie's words and squirted out, Zhang Qixun and Zhang Haike, who were sitting on the opposite side of the table, bent down and dodged at the same time, kicked on the table leg and slid the chair out of the ground.

The kicked table pushed forward against the fat man's stomach, almost missing him.

Fat man: "Ahem, ahem...... Vomit...... Murder, you guys! ”

Wu Xie hurriedly handed him the handkerchief, he didn't know what to say, "What are you excited about, the Zhang family has a long life, isn't it normal to live more than a hundred, we have seen more than 140 people in the ancient building before." ”

"The fat man just felt ...... Ahem, it's a bit unexpected. The fat man wiped his face and wiped the table with a handkerchief, "What, you go on, leave me alone, go on." ”

Zhang Haike then sighed, "The year he was born, a big thing happened to our Zhang family, which was the beginning of everything and the root of all decline. ”

The story is very long, but not much, Zhang Haike himself has no talent for storytelling, usually a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west, and he will say which place he thinks of.

For a long time, the Zhang family's intermarriage was very strict, the Zhang family was very large, and could control almost everything, and the family generally carried out internal intermarriage, which was only to ensure the purity of the family bloodline.

Fortunately, the family is huge, and the branch regions are widely involved, so there are no embarrassing problems.

However, the little brother is an outlier in this family, no one knows who the little brother's mother is, only that it was a cold winter, the little brother's father and father transported a batch of goods from Nepal, went for a long time, and came back with a baby still in swaddling clothes.

Due to the lack of his mother's care, coupled with rumors about the impurity of blood born from foreign unions, the little brother grew up in a rather chaotic environment.

When he was still ignorant, he didn't even know who his father was, and in such a huge system where strength was respected, children who were not blessed with no one usually had a very difficult childhood, and countless children died halfway.

Growing up walking on thin ice in such a bad environment, death and fishy stench filled the air around him, cruelty and reality overlapped, there was no partner to confide into, and in such a cold environment, everyone was mechanically numb, which was largely the reason why the little brother was reluctant to talk more later.

At that time, the ancestral house of the Zhang family was located in the Jinling Mountains, which was seven buildings of the Ming and Qing dynasties connected together, and there were as many as thirteen before and after, which was only the residence of the Zhang family.

The extension of the whole village, there are dozens of Zhang family's outer houses, and the outer houses are further expanded, and the villages within a range of dozens of miles belong to the Zhang family's outer house.

Although they all have the surname Zhang, they are all capable, and they also control many people, but the hierarchical status is strict, and the status of their own family is much higher than that of foreign clans.

Zhang Haike himself is a child of the Zhang family, so he has very few opportunities to go to the family's big house, and occasionally goes into the family's big courtyard, and it is also when he follows the elders to go in to pay New Year's greetings.

Because of the status of their parents, most of the children of this family are arrogant, and the children of this family are not very willing to play with him.

The creed of the supremacy of power has been instilled in their minds since childhood, even if there is no subordination of interests between them at this time, but this rejection and pride belong to the instinct of being influenced and assimilated by the surrounding aura.

However, Zhang Haike didn't care too much about this in his heart, because for him, the authority represented by the Zhang family's own family only relied on the support of the Zhang family's foreign clans, which was a tacit understanding of blood cohesion.

And he believes that he can live more freely in the foreign race, there are many rules in his family, many things are too tight, and the rules and regulations are tightly tied around his neck like chains, even if he didn't understand it when he was a child, but he instinctively rejected such an atmosphere.

The only thing that Zhang Haike is particularly concerned about is that he can often see a particularly withdrawn child in his home, who does not talk and does not play with other children.

When he wasn't training, the child just sat quietly in the patio alone, or stood under the pillars by the patio, looking at the small blue sky exposed above the patio, stunned.

Zhang Haike felt very strange, this child was very special, after several times, Zhang Haike became more and more curious about this child and wanted to understand him.

Moreover, this child is not treated by other children in his own family, which makes him inevitably have a sense of affection for each other.

Finally, one time, his father took him to his house to run errands, he took advantage of his father and other clansmen to discuss things, he wandered around for a while, and felt that it was not interesting, so he ran to find the child, that is, Zhang Qiling, who was only three years old at the time.
