Chai Xintong went out a little frustrated, and the entire Chang'an Night Market began to be lively, but he was a little confused and helpless for the first time.

There were a few vendors carrying sugar gourds and shouting, and the children liked to eat it the most; there were also a few stalls, all of which were colorful shuttlecocks, which caused a few children to cry; and some rouge gouache stalls were also set up, attracting a group of girls to watch.

At the beginning, he often took the child out shopping with Fan Jiuxian, and saw that the sugar gourd child would always shout and make noise, Fan Jiuxian said that eating these things is not good for the teeth, especially the child of the child's age, and finally put on a straight face, but he saw the child looking at the other children enviously, and then lowered his head, this hard-mouthed and soft-hearted woman threw a few taels of silver to Chai Xintong with a straight face, and then turned to look at the rouge gouache.

At first, he was sometimes very difficult, but he was very happy.

Now there is no boy begging him to buy rock sugar gourds, and there is no woman with a straight face, he is far away from home, in a different place, although there is a lot of traffic around, shouting and shouting, compared to Tongzhou, I don't know that it is more than ten times more lively, but for the first time I feel lonely and helpless.

He didn't want to trouble the people of the Confucius Temple, he himself knew that the Confucius Temple was at a wonderful point in time, and even some of the current choices could affect the future choices of the Confucius Temple, and he didn't want to involve Xu Chang'an, although he was now protecting He Chen, but for the officials above the courtiers, this Xu Chang'an did not belong to any side, nor did he stand in line, the person was forced out of Shushan by a holy decree from the Holy Emperor, and it was also a holy decree from the Holy Emperor to recall Chang'an, from his background, Xu Chang'an could not stand on the side, if one day he was really close to a certain party, it could only represent the Holy Emperor。

Although Xu Changan himself didn't think so, such a truth had already been pondered countless times by countless officials, they thought so, and even the people around the Holy Emperor thought so.

As long as He Chen is at Xu Chang'an's place, no one will move.

The eldest prince will not directly clash with Xu Changan, and the tenth prince will not move.

As long as people are in Xu Chang'an's place, they are not qualified to intervene, people know that this is the struggle between the Confucius Temple and the Holy Emperor, to put it bluntly, this is a game between the Master and the Holy Emperor, but Xu Chang'an has become a chess floor.

Confucius Temple can't go to trouble, Xu Changan doesn't want to be involved, the master doesn't know where it is, he suddenly feels very useless.

The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, and the summer weather is as fickle as a child's face.

His mind was very chaotic, wandering aimlessly through the streets, and he didn't know when he got into a small alley, and there was no one around except for the chirping of summer insects.

He sighed, intending to quit and find an inn to stay in.

There was a cry for help, and some commotion, mixed with cries.

Chai Xintong heard the sound and went forward, turned a few alleys, and saw a little boy squatting in the corner, holding and pushing something he didn't know and crying.

He approached the little boy gently, and waited until the little boy behind him to react, his body trembled, and he hurriedly hugged the thing in his arms, and then he turned his head, and was relieved to see the big brother who didn't know him.

The little boy under the moonlight looked a little embarrassed, there were a lot of bruises on his face, especially his forehead, which was swollen with a large piece, as if he was going to grow a horn, and there was a scratch on his face, but it was not deep, and the blood slowly seeped out, a pair of big eyes were tearful, and a black brocade with a special tattoo was also dirty, and it was gray at a glance, his bun was also scattered, and there was a lot of wall ash on his hair, which seemed to have been pressed against the corner of the wall just now.

"Little friend, what's wrong with you?"

"I didn't ...... It's okay!" The little boy was a little frightened, and clung to the thing in his arms.

Chai Xintong sighed and squatted down.

"Kid, where is your home?"

The little boy pursed his lips tightly, a little stubborn.

Chai Xintong looked at him, and the little boy also stared at him tightly, and finally Chai Xintong sighed and stood up.

Since the little boy didn't want to say it, there was no need for him to waste time here.

His back was a little lonely and gloomy, and the little boy tilted his head to look at the man, and although he was dressed quickly, he looked more pitiful than he had just been beaten.

The little boy stubbornly stood up, but his foot was also kicked a few times by the group, and he didn't feel it at first, but now he felt a lot of pain.

"Oops!" the little boy stood up before he fell to the ground.

Chai Xintong turned around and looked at him. I thought about it and walked over. Before he wanted to support him, the little boy stubbornly shrank in the corner.

"I'm not a bad person, but you've always been like this, whether it's good or good, you refuse, then how do you know if the world is evil or good. You can't just be bad and think everything is evil. ”

"If you don't accept it, you never know what the world is like. Chai Xintong didn't know what he had done, and suddenly talked to a child in kindergarten, this boy is as big as Shen Lang, some truths are as smart as Shen Lang kept yawning when he heard two sentences, how could this child understand?

He sighed, looking at the little boy's guarded appearance, he was also ready to find a place to sleep, and continue to think of a way tomorrow.

Turning around, he had only taken two steps when a little boy's voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Send me back!"

Since the little boy made a request, Chai Xintong naturally would not refuse.

Chai Xintong squatted down, and the little boy was still holding the thing in his arms tightly.

Chai Xintong pulled up his trouser legs, saw his red and swollen legs, sighed, and picked up the little boy directly.

The little boy was silent and lay quietly in Chai Xintong's arms.

The alleys were intertwined, and the little boy didn't speak, and he stretched out his hand to signal how to turn around and walk.

"By the way, why did you suddenly change your mind?"

Chai Xintong tried to communicate with the little boy, he didn't expect the little boy to answer, but he didn't expect the little boy to open his mouth and answer his question.

"I don't understand what you said, but I think you're a good person. After saying this, he said nothing.

Chai Xintong couldn't cry or laugh a little, so he could only quietly hold the little boy and walk towards his house.

It took about half a pillar of incense to arrive at the little boy's house.

He motioned for Chai Xintong to stop in front of a house, Chai Xintong was slightly surprised, but he didn't expect that this little boy had a solid family, a vast courtyard, and two big characters "Yuan Mansion" were written above the vermilion gate.

Chai Xintong hugged the little boy and knocked on the door, only to see that soon an old woman opened the door, glanced at Chai Xintong, and then looked at the little boy in Chai Xintong's arms, and shouted: "The little master is back!"

She wanted to take the little boy from Chai Xintong's hand, but the little boy snorted coldly and turned his face to the side.

The old woman was a little embarrassed, withdrew her hands and smiled: "Thank you for this son, the old man must be very happy to know that the little master let people hug him." ”

Chai Xintong was slightly surprised, but now the little boy was unwilling to leave Chai Xintong's arms, and he could only say that the little boy was sent in.

When he arrived at the hall, an old man who was also wearing a black robe embroidered with special symbols saw this scene, as if he had seen something incredible.

This skinny old man was actually slightly ...... Agitated.

"Thank you, boy. He had a smile on his face, his hands were a little overwhelmed, and he wanted to take the little boy, but he was afraid that the little boy would resist.

The little boy also turned his face away, and by the light of the lamp, Chai Xintong could see clearly that the old man and the child's black robes were embroidered with golden stars, moons, and suns.

The house is like an ordinary house, it is not luxurious, nor is it poor, and those who don't know will only think that this is the home of an ordinary merchant.

The old man was busy pouring tea and thanking him, Chai Xintong put the little boy on the stool, and the old man wanted to open the little boy's trouser leg to take a look, but the little boy covered it deadly.

The little boy was holding something that was spilled on the ground, and Chai Xintong saw that it was some bamboo tubes, and some strange things that he couldn't name.

The old man looked at these things, sighed, then looked at the stubborn face of the little boy, shook his head, and sighed again.

He bent down and put away the things on the ground, and placed them beside the little boy, and then took the medicinal wine and soft cloth handed by the old woman who opened the door.

The old man didn't help the little boy wipe it either, and put the things within the reach of the little boy.

The little boy didn't speak, silently picked up the medicinal wine and wiped it himself.

When the old man saw this scene, he immediately smiled and said: "Let the son laugh, my grandson has been withdrawn since he was a child, and even we can't touch him for half a point, and today he will actually ......."

The old man was a little embarrassed to continue, he wanted to say "I would actually let the son hug him", but there was a feeling that others had taken advantage of it, and others were obviously kind enough to help people send it back, so it was a little inappropriate to say so.

Chai Xintong glanced at the little boy, who quietly smeared himself with medicinal wine, occasionally baring his teeth but not making a sound.

The old man smiled awkwardly, and then said, "Old man Yuan Tian, I don't know what to call Gongzi?"

Chai Xintong honestly said his name.

"Chai Xintong. ”

As soon as these three words came out, the old man immediately stood up and bowed to him.

"It turned out to be Mr. Xiao, disrespectful and disrespectful. ”

Chai Xintong asked with a slight surprise: "The old gentleman knows me?"

The old man shook his head and nodded again.

"I know you, Mr. Xiao, but you don't know me, you defeated Jiang Jingyan in the martial arts examination, refined a 'promise' word, courteous and humble to give Na He Chen a chance, and in Tongzhou for his friend Yinuo, almost died, your deeds have spread all over the world!"

With that, the little boy looked up at him as well.

"Uncle, who are you?" Chai Xintong didn't believe that he would be famous enough for ordinary people to know.

Only then did the old man say: "My name is Yuan Tian, it's true." He is mainly in charge of Qintianjian in the lower part, and this is also Chongrenfang. ”

It turned out to be an official, no wonder he knew Chai Xintong's information, and he was also an official of Qin Tianjian.

Speaking of this Qin Tianjian, it is said that it is an official, and it is not counted, and it is not counted, but it is also.

Compared with other officials, they have very few salaries, and they are directly connected with the Holy Emperor, and they are only responsible to the Holy Emperor, but they can't play a role a few times a year.

Qin Tianjian was responsible for observing the sky and looking up at the starry sky. The most important thing is to help the Holy Emperor choose a few good days, such as sacrifices, sacrifices to the heavens, or the marriage of royal officials.

Some people say that Qin Tianjian can predict the future, but no one has ever seen this and has never confirmed it.

The last two days, the sacrifice and engagement seven days later are the auspicious days of the zodiac calculated by Mr. Yuan Tian, including the day of the prince's wedding a month later.

Chai Xintong smiled reluctantly, and then the two began to talk casually.

The little boy smeared himself with the podicated wine and went to hide what he had just had.

In the interval between the little boy's things to put away, Yuan Tian sighed and said: "My grandson, who has lost his parents since he was a child, has a relatively withdrawn personality, and hopes for Mr. Haihan." ”

Chai Xintong smiled, how could he be concerned with a little child, and he felt that this little boy had a lot of character.

The little boy walked out and stared at Chai Xintong.

"My name is Yuan Xingchen, the star of the stars, the star of the moon. ”

Chai Xintong looked at him and smiled slightly, and said again: "Chai Xintong." ”

"I know. ”

The old man's face changed slightly, and he was about to get angry, when he found that Chai Xintong was still smiling.

"Wenqu Xing is red, and the wolf invades south. There is a disaster of blood and light, but the way of heaven is fifty, and there will always be a glimmer of life. If that's right, it should be on you. ”

The old man couldn't hold back any longer, and shouted: "Yuan Xingchen, what nonsense, with your things, with your stargazing attainments, what nonsense!"

"Heaven and man intersect, and humane things will be omensed in the sky, the identity of this Wenqu Xing is confirmed by yourself, I just said the situation of Wenqu Xing. Even from an apprentice's point of view, the same is true, if Wenqu is not careful, it will fall!"

The little boy's voice was cold, and the old man was trembling with anger.

"You ......"

Finally, he gritted his teeth and finally said the sentence: "Have you forgotten why your father didn't have it?"

The little boy was expressionless.

"I know, then I can't help but say it. I think my father is right when it comes to stargazing, and he has no regrets!"

The old man was speechless for a moment.

The little boy turned his head, looked at the calm Chai Xintong, tilted his head slightly and said, "Why aren't you shocked, knowing that you are still so calm in your life." ”

Chai Xintong smiled slightly and said: "What if you know, are you panicking for no reason? Don't you say it again, there is a glimmer of life, everything is as it is!"

Yuan Xingchen looked at this calm little gentleman, thought for a while, and suddenly said, "If you escape death, can you take me as an apprentice?"

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Tian was very surprised.

"Okay!" Chai Xintong didn't ask why, and answered him calmly.

Yuan Xingchen finally smiled, this was the first time he had laughed since Chai Xintong saw him.

Then he shook his head, spread his hands and said, "It's a pity that my ability is limited, and I can't help my husband see where the glimmer of life is." ”

Chai Xintong touched his head and said with a slight smile: "Since there is such a glimmer of life, there is nothing wrong with moving forward, there is no need to look forward and backward." ”

Yuan Xingchen nodded and said: "I will also help the children to watch, but when they encounter bad things, they always don't believe me, but will beat me up, saying that I am a crow's mouth, where is as calm and calm as a gentleman." At the beginning, my father committed a taboo, and when he saw the star that belonged to him, he also died safely. ”

Yuan Tian let out a long sigh, he didn't expect his grandson to say this to the person he met for the first time, could it be that there was really something in the dark that pulled this firewood to his grandson?

Yuan Tian's face was ugly, and he didn't know what to say.

When the guest came to the house, he was told that there was a bloody disaster, and even he didn't know how to continue talking.

Chai Xintong took a sip of tea, stood up, and prepared to leave after saying goodbye and thanking him.

Yuan Tian looked at his back, and then looked at his grandson who was staring at Chai Xintong's back, and finally sighed and said, "Little gentleman stay!"

Chai Xintong turned around suspiciously.

Yuan Tian gritted his teeth and said: "Since Xingchen and Mr. are destined, then I will also say it bluntly, Mr. is tired, and the old man also knows it." This is a catastrophe in the first life, you can't hide, you can't avoid it, you can only meet it, if you can pass this catastrophe, the sky is high and the sea is wide, and there is hope for sanctification!"
