After the banquet began, Xu Guofan led Xu Yunhe to meet the senior leaders of the Xu family one by one, looking at the faces he was once familiar with and now greeting himself with that long-lost enthusiasm, Xu Yunhe's heart was suddenly like a dream.

Once upon a time, when they were still in infancy, these people would face themselves with the smile they have now. After that, all these smiling faces were gone. All I saw was the cold face of disgust, and the backs of those who were stingy to look back no matter how they shouted.

And now, those smiling faces, they're back, are they just back?

The smiling faces rotated in front of him like a marquee, and in Xu Yunhe's eyes, these smiling faces were no different. Although Xu Guofan has been tirelessly introducing all kinds of people who come and go, Xu Yunhe has not listened to a word, he is too uncomfortable with what is in front of him, and even a little tired.

It wasn't until a person Xu Yunhe was very familiar with stood in front of him that Xu Yunhe, who was already unfocused, regained his consciousness in an instant.

Not just sober, but extremely cold calm.

The person in front of him was about twenty years old, dignified, and looking at Xu Yunhe with a smile on his face.

As for Xu Yunhe, his eyes also moved to the other party. At the moment when their eyes intertwined, a cold light that made people palpitate flashed in the depths of the eyes of the two people at the same time.

Xu Guofan didn't notice this subtle change, and still introduced to Xu Yunhe with a smile: "I don't think I need to talk nonsense about this, right? Yunhe, you must know each other, you two grew up together, ate and lived in the same family, although they have been separated for more than ten years, they have grown up, but they will not have no impression at all, ......right?

Know, of course know, how can you not know? If there is anyone else in the Xu family that Xu Yunhe is "obsessed with" now, it must be the person in front of him!

"Brothers see each other, why don't you speak? Could it be that after so many years of not seeing each other, can you still be separated?" Xu Guofan didn't notice that the smiles on the faces of the two people were a little fake, and even joked, "You are cousins who grew up together! It's a pity that both of you are men, if you are a man and a woman, childhood sweethearts, maybe you can also achieve a good story!"

After speaking, Xu Guofan laughed to himself. It's just a pity that neither of the two parties laughed, but looked at each other silently with a stiff smile on their faces.

"Cousin Chengzhi, long time no see!" Before Xu Guofan noticed the abnormality, Xu Yunhe preemptively restored his normalcy, and took a step forward and stretched out his hand to the other party as he spoke. The smile on his face is also natural, at least outsiders can't see it.

Xu Yunhe's sudden change made the other party stunned, looked at Xu Yunhe's hand stretched out in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and then stretched out his hand to hold it, squeezed it slightly, and said with a smile: "Cousin Yunhe, it's been a long time!

"Yes, yes! I still remember that my cousin Chengzhi was very good to me back then, and my aunt would leave half of herself to me every time she made red bean cakes, and I always remember this love!" Xu Yunhe shook it gently, and the hands of the two of them were very tight, very tight.

"After so long, do you still remember this kind of trivial matter? I'm ashamed to be ashamed, I was young and ignorant, but in a blink of an eye, everyone has grown up, cousin Yunhe, you, finally came back!"

"This is also my home, how could I not come back? What's more, Cousin Chengzhi has always been thinking about me, although the younger brother is not sensible, but the kindness of Cousin Chengzhi, the younger brother has always kept it firmly in his heart. Now that I'm finally back, little brother, I must repay my cousin well!" At the end of the four words "repay well", Xu Yunhe deliberately accentuated his tone.

"Where is it, you and I are relatives, what do you say to repay, not to mention that I am older than you, and I will live close in the future, cousin Yunhe, what is the matter with you, just come to me! I will definitely do my best to compensate you for the suffering of so many years of wandering!" Similar to Xu Yunhe, in the last sentence, the other party also emphasized the tone in a few words.

What a touching scene of "brothers, friends, brothers, and brothers"!

Xu Guofan kept smiling and watching the two greet each other "affectionately", even if they were left out in the cold, he did not express his dissatisfaction. When the conversation between the two came to an end, he interjected with a smile: "Sure enough, blood is thicker than water! You two brothers haven't seen each other for 12 years, haven't you? I didn't expect you to be able to talk so freely as soon as you meet, and you don't have any differences! My Xu family members take filial piety as the foundation of their lives, and I feel very relieved from your two brothers!"

"Where, where, the head of the family has won the award!" The two of them were humble at the same time, and even the smiles on their faces were ninety percent similar.

It's just that when no one noticed, the moment the eyes of the two staggered, the smiles on their faces stiffened for a moment.

The cousins are true, but these cousins are not ordinary cousins. The relationship between two people is a bit complicated.

The person in front of him, who Xu Yunhe called "Chengzhi's cousin", is the only son of Xu Guoliang and Xia Fangfei, named Xu Chengzhi. Purely according to the bloodline, among the sixteenth generation of Xu Yunhe's contemporaries, compared with those so-called "clan brothers" who have long been divided into no one who has no idea how many branches, this Xu Chengzhi can indeed be regarded as his closest relative.

It's just that Xu Yunhe is now looking at him with a smile on his face, but deep down, the entire Xu family, what he hates the most is the "dearest cousin" in front of him!

Back then, Xu Yunhe escaped from the family in despair, and the people in the family naturally ignored a waste that had lost any use value. If he hadn't met Su Liusha, maybe by now, Xu Yunhe would have become a little woodcutter living a dull life in the mountains.

That kind of life may be able to live to the fullest, but Xu Yunhe is destined not to experience this kind of pastoral life. The reason is not Su Liusha, but the smiling Xu Chengzhi in front of him.

After escaping, Xu Yunhe ran out aimlessly alone, and on the mountain outside the city, he met Su Liusha and dispelled the idea of seeking death. Some people say that once a person who commits suicide does not die for the first time, it is not easy for him to have the idea of seeking death again in the future. But for Xu Yunhe, in the days that followed, he had at least a hundred thoughts of suicide again. If it weren't for Su Liusha's constant dissuasion by his side again and again, I'm afraid Xu Yunhe would have died now, I don't know how many times he has died!

The source comes from Xu Chengzhi in front of him.

Xu Yunhe escaped from the family and escaped from the cold eyes of the family, but suffered greater insult and pain.

After coming out, Xu Yunhe lived on the mountain with Su Liusha. He never went down the mountain until he was eight years old, until one day later, Su Liusha asked Xu Yunhe to cut firewood on the mountain every day, and then go to the city to sell it every few days. Such conditions may be cruel to an eight-year-old child, but Xu Yunhe has no complaints. After experiencing so much pain and seeing the warmth and coldness of people, Xu Yunhe can see that the master is for his own good. If your own life is more bitter than others, you must use greater pain to make yourself stronger.

However, the first time he entered the city, he was greeted by Xu Siping's cold smirk.

Xu Yunhe entered the city that morning, and at dusk, Xu Yunhe returned to the mountain. But what appeared in front of Su Liusha was a monster with broken ribs everywhere and a whole face beaten into a mess of rotten flesh.

That night, Su Liusha helped Xu Yunhe to apply medicine to his bones without saying a word, and did not ask a word from beginning to end. And Xu Yunhe, who was only eight years old, only let his master help him wrap his wounds, even if he touched the wounds, he endured them and did not exhale the pain. That night, eight-year-old Xu Yunhe didn't sleep all night, and from beginning to end, he didn't shed a single tear.

He understands that he has to be strong, stronger than everyone else in the world.

After that, it was a miserable repetition again and again, Xu Yunhe entered the city again and again, and the injuries on his body were worse than the first, once or twice, Xu Yunhe endured it. But for an eight-year-old child, is this kind of pain too cruel?

Finally, one time, Xu Yunhe, who was beaten harder than any before, did not drag back to the mountain with scars as usual. Su Liusha, who was worried, came down the mountain, but at the foot of the mountain, Su Liusha saw Xu Yunhe. It's just that Xu Yunhe at that time had fallen to the ground unconscious, and under him, there was a shocking pool of blood.

Su Liusha silently carried him up the mountain and wrapped him as usual. When Xu Yunhe woke up from the pain, he looked at Su Liusha, the only person close to him in his life, Xu Yunhe, who had been strong for a long time, finally couldn't stay strong anymore. He began to cry.

"I'm miserable enough to have no father or mother! I've never done anything bad, so why do they bully me so much? If God wants me to live in this world to suffer, then what am I alive for?"

That day, he cried hoarsely, word by word, Xu Yunhe still remembers it clearly. That is, from that day on, I once again had the will to die.

And that day, Su Liusha just looked at Xu Yunhe with rare soft eyes and didn't say a word. Xu Yunhe remembered that in those eyes, there was pity, grief, and a trace of hidden helplessness.

After that, Xu Yunhe was humiliated again and again, and many times he stood in front of the cliff and wanted to jump down, but he was stopped by Su Liusha again and again. Until one day, Su Liusha finally stopped being silent.

That evening, Xu Yunhe was beaten by Xu Siping again and his head was bleeding. He didn't have time to get out of the city yet, but he suddenly found that Su Liusha, who never went down the mountain, appeared in front of him.

The unusually Su Liusha grabbed him with one hand and led him around the city with a strange speed that he couldn't even imagine. When the dizzy Xu Yunhe was finally put on a roof by Su Liusha, the scene that appeared in front of him made Xu Yunhe, who was full of doubts for his master's abnormality, be overwhelmed by the monstrous anger in an instant!

Under the roof, in the courtyard, there was a kneeling person, he was Xu Siping.

And in the direction where he knelt, stood a man.

That person, after a while, turned his face, it was Xu Chengzhi.
