Chapter 1: Humiliation
The night was coming to an end, and a ray of light from the east pierced through the darkness that shrouded the heavens and the earth, and began to shine slightly, and gradually became brighter, and the darkness was driven away, and the red sun began to see only a deformity, and gradually saw the whole picture. At this time, the sky is completely white, and the morning comes.
The silence of the night is replaced by the hustle and bustle of the day. If you don't listen, you won't notice. The faint sound, the dew dripping from the leaves, the chirping of insects, the morning breeze caressing the earth, the response of all things, everything in general, is full of the breath of life.
In a small village surrounded by mountains, there are only a few dozen families, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, and each family also cultivates a few acres of thin fields by themselves, chatting about their livelihood.
The warm rays of the sun shine through the windows into the room and onto the bed.
The boy lying on the bed woke up, and he opened his eyes. The confusion that woke up at the beginning was gradually replaced by perseverance, and he got out of bed. But seeing that the young man was a little weak, but his facial features were clear, especially his eyes, with a tenacious and unyielding look, he saw a heroic spirit.
The boy got dressed and went out of the room. What he saw made him stunned, and he smiled: "Father, mother, so early!"
His father, Wang Wenyuan, glanced at him deeply, with kindness and expectation in his eyes, waved his hand and said, "Change your clothes, go out with me, and you will enter the city with me today." ”
Wang Xiaofan was stunned when he heard this, and then he realized that the clothes his father was wearing today were clothes that he had never worn on weekdays and only wore on the most important days. What is it today? His father was dressed so solemnly. Although he didn't know what it was for, Wang Xiaofan nodded, went back to the room, and took out a set of cotton silk robes from the bottom of the box and put them on.
In silence, after breakfast. In the meantime, the mother's worried look, and the desire to speak from time to time, were stopped by the father's stern eyes.
"Let's go!"
When he left the courtyard and saw the carriage parked at the door, Wang Xiaofan once again felt the difference today.
"Mr. Wang, here, get in the car!" Lao Lin's family lives in the north of this village, and the family of four lives on this carriage, and they are only middle-aged, but after daily wind and sun, they look like a little old man.
Wang Wenyuan nodded, ignored Wang Xiaofan's puzzled eyes, and took the lead in getting into the carriage.
"This Wang family father and son, what are you doing here? Dress so solemnly. ”
"Who knows, this Wang family is usually mysterious and secretive, and they don't associate with us people, but looking at the clothes they wear, maybe they want to tell Wang Xiaofan to go in person, right?"
"It's possible, Wang Xiaofan's body is a little weaker, and he doesn't look like a long-lived person, otherwise I would like to say goodbye to my daughter. ”
The carriage was moving slowly, listening to the sound of discussion outside, Wang Xiaofan couldn't help but be shocked, would he go to say kiss to him?
"Don't think nonsense, take care of your mind, today may be the day when you leap into the dragon gate. Don't ask, you'll know then. Wang Wenyuan waved his hand and looked at Wang Xiaofan, his face was complicated, but his eyes were full of expectation and firmness.
Wang Xiaofan nodded, and then closed his eyes with peace of mind.
Wang Wenyuan looked at Wang Xiaofan, his expression became more and more determined, and he muttered: "Today, even if you bow your head and be humiliated, you have to give Xiaofan a chance after all, you can't delay this child for a lifetime! Alas~"
There was a long sigh, and the carriage returned to peace.
"Mr. Wang, you're in the city. Outside the carriage, Lao Lin's voice came.
"So soon, is this coming?" Wang Wenyuan lowered his head, muttered to himself with a low face, his face was very complicated, and then got out of the carriage.
"Lao Lin, you go back first, you don't have to wait for us. Wang Wenyuan said softly to Lao Lin.
Wang Xiaofan watched Lao Lin's carriage leave, and then looked at his father, but saw his father Wang Wenyuan looking up at the city gate and was silent for a long time. After a long time, Wang Wenyuan spoke: "Let's go!" After speaking, he walked towards the city first.
Wang Xiaofan looked at his father's somewhat withered back, and he was very puzzled in his heart, why did he come here today? Thinking of today's unusualness, the doubts in his heart were even worse.
Not long after leaving, the father and son settled in a simple shop. After a short rest, Wang Wenyuan told Wang Xiaofan to rest well and not to go out without permission, so he went out with a complicated face.
Wang Xiaofan frowned, thinking, today's events are too strange, and then hesitated for a while, and then quietly followed his father to the outside, today's father's behavior is too weird, there must be something hidden in this.
All the way, Wang Xiaofan carefully followed his father and watched his father walk into a luxurious restaurant.
Wang Xiaofan frowned slightly, stepped in, his eyes swept over the first floor, and he didn't find his father's figure, and then stepped on the stairs of the private room on the second floor. Although he was thin, his demeanor was calm, and the clothes on his body were not ordinary, so the shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, but did not stop him.
Coming to the second floor, Wang Xiaofan slowed down and listened attentively.
"Father is inside. Wang Xiaofan looked at the luxurious private room in front of him, and he was even more puzzled in his heart, his father had always been simple, and it was unusual to charter Lao Lin's carriage today. At this moment, in such a luxurious private room, it is not the same as my father's usual behavior.
Wang Xiaofan stood at the door, observing the surroundings, and then his eyes lit up, this room has a ventilation hole, and the image in the room can be seen from this orifice. He looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he held his breath and cautiously came to the hole and looked into the room.
In the private room, the decoration is luxurious, but it is also a bit charming. In the middle of the room, there are tables and chairs made of sandalwood, precious bonsai are placed in the corners, and calligraphy and paintings are hung on the walls.
On the main seat and on both sides, there were three middle-aged men in brocade robes, three of them had coldness on their faces, although they did not speak, but the breath on their bodies couldn't help but sink their hearts, obviously they were people who had been in the top position for a long time.
What surprised Wang Xiaofan the most was that his father Wang Wenyuan was among them, and he was not suppressed by the aura of these three people, but his face was complicated, but he was quite comfortable in advancing and retreating.
"My royal family has a lot of affairs, and today I sent a message to make the three of us here, if I don't know what to say, then I will no longer accompany you. The one who sat on the throne among the three spoke sarcastically and coldly.
On the side, the other two also had sneers on their faces.
Wang Xiaofan was shocked when he heard this.
"The Wang family. "In this city, there is only the Wang family, and these three people are in charge of the Wang family, no wonder they have such momentum. But when my father became acquainted with such a person, I never heard him mention it. And looking at the performance of these three people, the relationship with their father is also a little inappropriate.
Wang Xiaofan was full of thoughts in his heart, but at this time, his father's words really surprised him.
"Although I have left the Wang family, we are the same bloodline after all, why should the eldest brother be so ruthless. Wang Wenyuan looked at the three people sitting opposite, and said with a gloomy face.
When Wang Wenting heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows, and said sarcastically: "Brother, you have been expelled from the house for so many years, and now you remember that you and I are of the same blood?"
"Or are you no longer alive outside, so you came here and wanted us to give you some alms?"
"Big brother, why bother with him, the immortal master is coming tomorrow, we have to go back early and prepare for something. "The second brother of the Wang family, Wang Wenshan said.
The three of them glanced at Wang Wenyuan coldly, and then wanted to get up and leave.
"Wait. Wang Wenyuan let out a low snort, and then took out a jade seal from his arms. "Big brother, although you relied on means to ascend to the position of head of the family, but this seal was passed on to me by my father early, presumably over the years, you have also wasted a lot of thought about this matter! If the eldest brother agrees to my request, I will give you this seal. ”
Wang Wenting stopped his figure about to get up, his eyes were firmly fixed on the seal, and a little eager look flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "Say what you requested." ”
Wang Wenyuan glanced at Wang Wenting deeply, and said with a firm face: "Big brother, why do you knowingly ask, I am going to the Immortal Gate for the dog today." ”
Wang Wenting's face was gloomy, his eyes flashed, and he was obviously thinking about the gains and losses of this matter.
"Big brother, this must not be, if this kid, a luck, is chosen, then I can't wait"
"Big brother think twice!"
Wang Wenting waved his hand, signaling the two of them not to speak, his eyes fell gloomily on Wang Wenyuan, and he said coldly: "You used to disrespect your ancestors back then. ”
When Wang Wenyuan heard this, his face twitched involuntarily, and he suddenly ran down in the direction of the Wang family's ancestral hall, bowed three times and bowed nine times, and said: "Wenyuan was ignorant and disrespected the ancestors back then, and now I ask the ancestors for forgiveness." After saying that, his whole body seemed to shrink in an instant, and his whole body seemed to have lost most of its strength.
Wang Wenting turned a blind eye and said coldly: "You were disrespectful to my three brothers back then. ”
Wang Wenyuan said again: "Back then, the younger brother was young and vigorous, and he collided with the three brothers, please don't take it to heart when the eldest brother Haihan." ”
"Back then, you hurt me. With that, Wang Wenting suddenly pulled back his sleeves and fell into a hideous scar.
Hearing this, Wang Wenyuan's body trembled, and he did not hesitate to raise his right hand and pat it on his left shoulder.
"Click!"
The sound of breaking echoed in the room, and Dou Da sweat flowed down Wang Wenyuan's forehead, but Wang Wenyuan didn't move, what a tough guy.
"Big brother, is this enough?"
Wang Wenting stared at Wang Wenyuan expressionlessly, and after a long time, he said coldly: "Don't say that I didn't give you a chance, just bring your son to the Wang family tomorrow." With that, he picked up the seal on the table and got up to leave.
After the three of them walked by, Wang Wenyuan's upright body shook slightly, fell softly to the ground, and cried bitterly for a long time.
"For the sake of Xiao Fan, I have to be like this, no matter how much shame I suffer, I have to give Xiao Fan a chance, forgive my mother, forgive me!"
Outside the box, Wang Xiaofan covered his mouth tightly, and tears flowed down his cheeks involuntarily.
He clenched his fists tightly, his nails white. Seeing his father being humiliated, he couldn't stand up. As a son of man, Wang Xiaofan roared in his heart, 'I, Wang Xiaofan, he will repay this humiliation one day.' ’
