Chapter 5 Reunion after a long absence

The old man's conjecture was actually good, thousands of miles away in a small village in the southern county of Zhongzhou, there was really a person who sent out a similar starry night reverie at the same time as him. If the old man knows, according to his temperament, eighty percent will ride the wind and clouds, pat his thighs, hum songs, be extremely excited, and drive there, thinking that he is a friend of the year.

But there is one point, the old man is wrong. The so-called destined people are not only full and have nothing to do, but are hungry and half dead.

"Ahh

When Xu Sheng woke up, he happened to see a big face approaching. He screamed, rolled down from the big bluestone in a hurry, and after groaning a few words, he looked at it fixedly, it was an acquaintance.

"Li, Uncle Li" Xu Sheng hurriedly turned over and stood up, smiling wryly, and scratching his head embarrassedly.

"I said Katsuko, what's the matter? If you don't go home, why do you run to sleep on the rocks? ”

"That ......" Xu Sheng pinched his nose, lowered his head, and whispered: "The stars were good last night, I went out to watch, but I didn't expect to be tired when I walked here, so I sat on the stone and rested for a while, and fell asleep after coming and going." Well, that's right, that's it. ”

"You kid" Uncle Li smiled, noncommittal, and looked back at the courtyard, where a smoke rose.

"Katsuko hasn't eaten yet, has she? Come to my house and there will be two of them. Uncle Li asked casually, it didn't sound like an invitation, but more like a politeness.

"Okay, yes, let's go." Xu Sheng's reaction was quite intense, which really surprised Lao Li.

"That'...... Let's go. Uncle Li was a little speechless, he had never seen such an unkind person.

When the two returned to Lao Li's house, the meal was just ready. As the saying goes: it is better to come early than to come at the right time. Xu Sheng secretly rejoiced, but on the surface, he was unusually calm.

"Old woman" Uncle Li shouted at the top of his throat as soon as he pushed the door open: "Shengzi is here, let's get an extra bowl of rice." ”

"Alas" there is someone in the kitchen to bear.

After a while, breakfast was served, it was really simple, pancake porridge, not even a pickle. But when Xu Sheng saw it in his eyes, it was like seeing the delicacies of the mountains and seas, abalone and bird's nest.

"Katsuko, I didn't know you were going to come to the house for dinner, and I didn't even prepare a dish, I'm really embarrassed." Aunt Li smiled, which made Xu Sheng a little shy.

"It's okay, it's good, as long as it's made by my aunt, I love to eat it." Xu Sheng said with a smile, reaching out and grabbing the pancake.

"Huh!?" Aunt Li was obviously stunned, and thought: When did this kid Xu Sheng become so good at talking? ”

"Oops!" Inadvertently, Xu Sheng screamed, and then covered his fingers, looking embarrassed.

"What's wrong?"

"Hot." Xu Sheng's voice was not too loud, and it sounded very embarrassing.

"If it's hot, eat it slowly." Uncle Li looked at Xu Sheng and said, "No one is robbing you, what's the hurry?" ”

"Don't worry, don't worry" Xu Sheng blew his fingers, eager to find a crack in the ground.

Since you can't eat the pancakes, let's drink porridge. Truth be told, people always need more water than food.

It's a pity that as soon as his hand touched, Xu Sheng understood that this porridge was also undrinkable, it was also too hot.

It's annoying. To use a vulgar and inappropriate analogy, it's like a half-sized midnight when you suddenly feel a little restless, fantasizing about a beautiful woman. In fact, just think about it, I didn't expect that there was really one, that excited, the clothes were taken off, and the woman suddenly said: "What, my life is not right, wait for two more days." ”

Suffocate the dead.

So what can be done? I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so I'm waiting.

For a while, Xu Sheng chatted with the old couple of the Li family for a while, and they were all old words, which were nothing more than persuading him to rent a few acres of land, put down his books, work hard, and support himself. One is hungry, and the other is upset, Xu Sheng just uh-huh, ahhh

It was almost over, Xu Sheng picked up the porridge bowl, looked at the tender and white grains of rice, and was a little excited.

"Xu Sheng is not good, your brother is back" At this moment, a long voice suddenly sounded, echoing in the village.

"Smack"

The bowl shattered, and the porridge spilled all over the floor.

When Xu Sheng hurried home, his eldest brother, who was a whole head taller than him, was leaning against the door, laughing heartlessly. It hasn't changed, but it's a lot darker.

"Brother" Xu Rant's voice is very hearty, but his voice is unusually desolate at his age.

"Brother" Xu Sheng should bear it, his voice is not loud, but anyone can hear that his mood fluctuations are not small.

Five years, five whole years. Since the death of their parents, the two brothers have not seen each other. Even if Xu Rampant was released from prison that time, he didn't go home to take a look. Xu Sheng thinks that his brother has long forgotten him, or that he no longer sees him as a brother.

"I'm sorry" Xu Rampant looked at Xu Sheng, still smiling, "I've suffered you all these years"

"Ahh

With a long sigh, Xu Sheng was speechless for a while, his heart was mixed, and he spoke after a while: "Let's go back to the house and talk."

Xu Rampant, who returned to the house, didn't speak, Xu Sheng felt reasonable, and he didn't squeak, the two just sat like this, and they didn't put a "fart" for a long time.

"Tell me, what are you doing this time?" In the end, Xu Sheng is young, and he can't hold his breath first.

"Naturally, I'm going home to visit you, brother." Xu Yi smiled, stretched out his hand, and took out a small package from his arms, and after opening it, there was a bright light in the yellow sky.

Xu Sheng looked at it intently, just one glance, startled.

A few gold bars that shimmered brightly.

"Take it, count me as compensation." Xu Yan was still smiling, but his tone was clear and unacceptable.

"Don't" Xu Sheng settled down, and his words were also very firm: "I can't afford to kill people and set fires." ”

"Hah! Ha! Ha! Looking up to the sky and laughing, Xu Yan was so happy that he was about to fly. After laughing for a while, Xu Sheng ignored him, Xu Yan felt bored, and said: "I knew this was the case, brother, although you are a little stupid, but you are innocent." If you put 10,000 hearts, the way of these gold is absolutely above board, and there is no problem at all. ”

"Above board?" Xu Sheng smiled disdainfully, and then said, "Could it be that it fell from the sky?" ”

"Almost" Xu Yan suppressed his throat: "The Xu family gave it"

Xu family!

Xu Sheng chuckled in his heart, only to feel shocked, when did his eldest brother get involved with the Xu family?

Xu family, that's amazing. The first in Nanjun, known as "half of the southern capital", has endless wealth and power, and is one of the best in the entire Zhongzhou, even children and beggars often hum lyrics on the street:

The first city in Zhongzhou, South County,

The first family in the city of Xu.

There can be 100,000 acres of fertile land,

Thousands of houses are counted upwards.

The secretary of state will be handed over more,

Wealthy families compete for clinging.

Ten horses ride side by side on the road,

Looking back at the more than 100 husbands behind him.

"What did the Xu family do with your money?" Xu Sheng was puzzled, then slapped the table and yelled: "Brother, you shouldn't have robbed the Xu family, right?" ”

"Poof!" Xu Yan didn't hold back his breath, rubbed his head, and said helplessly: "You really look up to me, besides, if I really robbed the Xu family, it won't be the only tattered thing." ”

"Yes" Xu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, and said to himself with a little doubt: "It stands to reason that the Xu family is high, why shouldn't I give you money!?" ”

"Underestimate me, don't you!" Xu Ryan held his head high proudly and said with a full spirit: "Actually, it's nothing, I just did them a small favor." ”

"What's the busy?" Xu Sheng was very curious.

"Don't say"

"It's not a good thing to think about."

"Then you feel free."

"Then will you come back this time and leave?"

"Hmm"

"When are you leaving?"

"Immediately?"

"So, will you come back after you come?"

"Maybe ......"

Perhaps, that is, it is not accurate, that is, it is possible that it will never come back. Xu Sheng grinned, as if he had a thousand words, and finally turned into a sentence: "Good luck." ”

"Thank you" Xu Yi finally couldn't laugh, lowered his head, and couldn't see what his expression was.

"Don't talk about that." Xu Yan raised his head, still smiling, and said softly: "I'm hungry, let's cook some food." ”

"That" This time the one who bowed his head was replaced by Xu Sheng, he was embarrassed again, and Weng Sheng said: "Actually, I'm also quite hungry." ”
