Chapter 22 Go to the clan, keep a low profile!
At the beginning of the heavy snowfall, Wushi Town, a radius of 100 miles, was covered in silver, and under the eaves of the branches, long ice cubes were hung, which were crystal clear in the sun.
"Click!" there was a crisp sound, and an ice cube under the eaves snapped.
He looked down at the crystal clear ice cube in his hand for a while, and slowly put it in his mouth, a trace of coldness instantly melted, with a wisp of sweetness.
Familiar taste...... Xie Chen narrowed his eyes, savoring the coolness and sweetness that he had not seen for a long time. He vaguely remembered that in his previous life, he had used this ice cube to quench his thirst and satisfy his hunger countless times in the cold winter of counting. It's just that now I experience it again, but I don't have that feeling of hunger and thirst anymore.
"Brother Chen! Oh no! Third Uncle, he ......" The sharp voice broke the silence, and the little fat man Xie Tuo's face was full of panic, and he ran all the way! The snowflakes rising behind him were sprinkled one after another, scattering in all directions.
Xie Chen turned around when he heard this, but he sighed lightly in his heart. Before he could speak, Xie Tuo was already panting and said, "Brother Chen! The third uncle is gone! He left the family with only one letter......!"
"I know. ”
"No, you listen to me...... Ahh
"I know. Xie Chen repeated another sentence and slowly spoke, "Last night, my father already told me. He had a reason why he had to go. ”
Xie Chen's voice was flat, his eyes were deep, and he vaguely recalled the scene of last night.
Last night, the heavy snow did not stop. When Xie Xuan's appearance in Xie Chen's room like a snowman really startled Xie Chen.
"Chen'er, my father has come to say goodbye to you. Xie Xuan got straight to the point and said directly. The snow on his head began to melt, and the snow water ran down his cheeks, making his face even more haggard.
"Resignation?!Where is Daddy going?" Xie Chen's expression was as stunned and surprised as Xie Tuo now.
After the death of the Great Elder's father and son, it had been snowing heavily for three days and four nights. During these three days, the family has been very busy. Inventory the property of the Great Elder, pay tribute to Xie Tuo's father, give Xie Tuo Tianxin Grass, and report the crimes of Xie Zhishan's father and son to the clan......
But Xie Xuan, who was the patriarch, did not blend into this busyness, and there was no joy on his face. He frowned all the time, and sighed from time to time, as if he had something extremely difficult to decide.
Now is the time for the answer.
"I don't know. Xie Xuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Maybe it's close, maybe it's far away, maybe it's coming back soon, maybe it's ......."
"What the hell is going on?!" Xie Chen sat up, he could already see his father's distress and helplessness.
"Chen'er, you've grown up. I am very happy for my father, and I can rest assured for my father......" Xie Xuan suddenly changed his words and said seriously, "May I ask you a question?"
Xie Chen nodded silently.
"If one day, you get the news that the woman you have always loved is not actually dead, but has been captured...... What will you do?" Xie Xuan's voice was grim.
"Go and get her out!" Xie Chen did not hesitate.
"But what if you don't know where she is, or even who took her?"
"Find! Find her and rescue her! She will not live up to me, I will not live up to her!" Xie Chen was categorical, now he knew what his father was going to say. He doesn't blame his father, if he were himself, he would definitely do the same.
"The upper poor are falling, and the lower Yellow Spring...... She will live up to me, I will live up to her......" Xie Xuan's eyes gradually lit up, and his son's words made him finally make up his mind!
"Daddy, go ahead. Chen'er has grown up, so she doesn't have to worry about her father. Xie Chen raised his head and met his father's gaze.
"Chen'er, thank you!" Xie Xuan nodded heavily, and there was no need to say anything more between father and son at this moment.
"Dad, are there any other clues?" When his father was about to leave, Xie Chen suddenly asked.
Xie Xuan smiled, smiled silently, stretched out his hand, pointed to his heart, and then pointed to his head, "The only clue is in these two places, with these, it is enough!"
Xie Chen sighed lightly, looked at his father in a daze, turned around resolutely, and pushed open the door.
"Dad, you must bring your mother back! Our family is reunited!" a hot current surged into his heart, and Xie Chen shouted.
Xie Xuan's body shook and he didn't look back, "Okay! I must also reunite our family! Chen'er, you are not a thing in the pool, Wushi Town is too small to trap you! I hope that one day, my father will be able to hear your legend on the rivers and lakes!"
Xie Xuan's back disappeared in the wind and snow, and the heroic voice kept echoing in Xie Chen's ears. It was only at this time that Xie Chen knew that his father had already seen through himself and did not want to tie himself up. This departure was not only for the sake of the fetters in his own heart, but also to allow Xie Chen to spread his wings and soar under the broader sky!
"Brother Chen, do you know where the third uncle went?" Xie Tuo's voice pulled Xie Chen back to reality.
"I don't know. Xie Chen shook his head, "Xie Tuo, what is written in his father's book?"
"Oh, yes, I brought it, you can see for yourself!" Xie Tuo patted his head and hurriedly took out a piece of letterhead from his arms.
Xie Chen opened the letter, and his father's words were originally handsome and elegant, chic, with a hint of indifference. This is very similar to my father's surname. But at this moment, it is a fierce and resolute rush to the face. Obviously, the father had everything in place when he wrote this letter.
In the letter, Xie Xuan did not leave a word for Xie Chen, but simply explained the affairs of the family.
The Xie family in Wushi Town is a branch of the Xie clan, and it is enshrined to the clan every year. Now that Xie Xuan is leaving, Xie Xuan handed over all the family property and all the property in his name to the clan, and the clan envoy came to check it.
But there is one condition, that is, while accepting Xie Xuan's property, the clan must provide for all the deacons of the Wushi Town branch according to their original treatment. For the two direct family children of Xie Chen and Xie Tuo, the clan must also treat them equally according to the standards of the direct family of the clan, and pay them monthly to teach.
The Xie family branch of Wushi Town has controlled Wushi Town for more than ten years, and his family is rich. This deal is naturally extremely cost-effective on the clan side. What's more, after being merged into the clan, the industry of Wushi Town already needs to be taken care of. These deacons are well-connected and have their own families, so they are also extremely convenient to use. As for Xie Chen and Xie Tuo's salary, it was only a small expense.
Xie Xuan did this, in addition to giving an explanation to his clansmen. It also gave Xie Chen and Xie Tuo's two children a higher platform, so that they could get better development in the clan. As for the family property and money, Xie Xuan didn't value it much, so he naturally said that he would give it up without the slightest hesitation.
Close the letter, put it in your arms, and put it close to you. Xie Chen said lightly: "Just do what my father said in the letter, and I will send someone to report the news to the clan in a while." ”
"After a while, those deacons of the family have already been so happy that they sent someone to deliver the message early in the morning!" Xie Tuo pursed his lips and snorted, "They all dream of joining the clan!"
Xie Chen smiled slightly, he naturally understood the thoughts of these deacons. In Wushi Town, the promotion of these people to the position of deacon has already come to an end. But in the clan, there are unlimited opportunities to continue to climb up.
You must know that even if it is a small steward of the clan, in the eyes of each branch family, it is also a heaven-like existence. Isn't there a saying that says it well?"I'd rather be a phoenix tail than a [***] head." "In the past, they were willing to stay here in Wushi Town to be "chicken heads", but they didn't have the opportunity to smell the fart of "Phoenix"!
"By the way, Xie Tuo, how do you feel after eating Tianxin Grass? But do you feel that the natal spirit is more compatible with you?" Xie Chen changed the topic at the right time.
No matter where it is, strength is the guarantee of the right to speak. This is the case in Wushi Town, and even more so in the clan! Father has his own goals and pursuits, and the only thing Xie Chen cares about now is his cousin.
"I don't feel anything!" The little fat man blinked his eyes and said truthfully: "It is said that this heavenly heart is very good, and you will fight to the death one by one." Why don't I feel it? It's no different from eating it...... Could it be that my digestive system is so good? As soon as I eat it, it turns into and pulls it out?"
"Don't feel it?" Xie Chen was slightly stunned.
"Nonsense! Of course I don't feel it!" In Xie Chen's body, Jian Jiu said disdainfully: "It's true that Tianxin Grass can change the physique, but at most, it can make people's spiritual sense sharper and be able to feel the natal spirit! If you eat Tianxin grass again, at most, it can nourish your body!"
Xie Chen was stunned, no wonder in the past two days, Xie Tuo seemed to be rounder than before, it turned out that Tianxin grass still had the effect of fertilizing......
"Boy, you don't have to worry about that. Now that your family is gone, you don't have anything to worry about. If you don't hurry up and find a place, the old man can help you awaken your natal spirit! With your current strength, alas, the old man is in a hurry......
Jian Jiu chattered endlessly in Xie Chen's body, tirelessly mentioning the matter of awakening the natal spirit again. Only when Xie Chen's natal spirit awakens, can he find a way to repair his remnant spirit!
But Young Master Xie Chen is not in a hurry, awakening the natal spirit? What are you anxious about? Isn't it very good for Young Master Ben to be like this now? Except for Xie Tuo, who knows the depth of Young Master Ben? Young Master, I still want to go around the clan in the name of this "little waste"!
It is said that the clan is a good place, the world of flowers, and talents everywhere. Although, after I went, they were all brothers of the same clan. But if he is positioned as a genius by the clan, I'm afraid it won't be easy to tell which is the honey-bellied sword and which is the hidden knife in the smile, right?
Thinking of this, Xie Chen raised his head and said to Xie Tuo: "Xie Tuo, I can feel the matter of the natal spirit, haven't you told others?"
"Brother Chen, you also underestimate your brother and me too much!" Xie Tuo immediately had a contemptuous expression, and slapped his little chest with a "snap"!
"Brother, I don't dare to say anything else, but this mouth is the strictest in the world! Brother Chen, you don't let me say it, even if it is thousands of beautiful women who torture me to extract a confession, day and night, exhaustively...... Well, we're not going to say it anyway!"
"Go to your spring dream!" Xie Chen laughed, laughed and scolded, nodded and said: "Remember! Don't say it! When you get to the clan, you are arrogant......! Just keep a low profile and be your little follower. ”
