Chapter 22 The Past

It's nearly dusk. All things are properly discussed. Chi Hai declined His Majesty's invitation to stay in the palace for dinner. Say goodbye to the two scholars who traveled with them. Pacing slowly, he walked outside the palace gate.

Along the way, there are often patrolling guards stopping to salute. Chi Hai only nodded. Stern.

Outside the palace gate, there were only four horses with white and jade hooves, walking around in front of the palace gate with their hooves a little impatiently, but no soldiers came to restrain them. But he said that the horse had no saddle on his back, and no reins on his head. If it weren't for the horseshoe under his feet, I was afraid that people would see it, and I just thought it was a wild horse. If someone who knows horses sees it from afar, they probably don't bother to look back again. For no other reason, not only is this horse not a famous breed, but at a glance, it is clear that it has reached the age of old age and physical failure.

I saw the figure more than two meters tall in the distance. Chi Hai smiled at this time. Quicken your pace and walk to the old horse's side, listening to the old horse's "meshing" sound, which seems to be complaining.

Chi Hai couldn't help but smile and patted the horse's back twice. Combing the old horse's slightly messy gray hair. explained softly: "I can't complain about me, I was kept by Your Majesty." ”

The old horse didn't know if he understood it. Shaking the mane on his head, without waiting for Chihai to lead the way, he stepped on four snow-white hooves and went straight east along the street.

Chi Hai followed the old horse like a horse servant. He kept saying, "Okay, good." Count me not, how about going back and giving you a pound of soybeans to appetize?"

The old horse shook his ass and sneered at the pound of soybeans. He even pouted his ass and farted at Chi Hai.

Chi Hai slapped his hand hard, not only did he not see an angry look, but he looked flattering. "How many years of old friends, what can't I say well. After thinking about it, he said with some pain. "In this way, don't say that I'm not righteous enough, two catties! How about two catties of soybeans! You know that my money is just that!"

The old horse's hooves paused, and he seemed to hesitate for a moment. Squinted at the pond that stopped and looked at it with a flattering expression. A snort. and slowly raised his hooves.

Chi Hai's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth. Some angrily looked at the old horse in the distance, pointed at the old horse with trembling arms, and held back a few words from between his teeth. "Three catties! No more! I'll run back by myself! Love doesn't come!"

Not yet. The old horse in front of him, his hooves folded, just a gust of wind. I got to Chi Hai. With a big mouth, he threw the old guy who didn't resist on his back, regardless of whether the guy above sat down or not. Let go of your hooves and gallop down the empty streets!

As the sun sets, the afterglow of the setting sun hits the street obliquely. The old horse held an old general, untimely and unreasonable, galloping on the avenue of the capital. There is a crunch sound of "da-da-da".

At the entrance of the generous mansion, Chi Hai seems to take a look at the word "Chifu" hanging high on the courtyard door. Holding on the horse's back, there was no old butler in sight. Some of them felt sorry for themselves and jumped off the horse smartly. Whispering to the old horse: "Hey, as soon as people get old, no one wants them." Anyone can bully twice. ”

The old horse shook his mane again with disdain, and was about to go to the house, when he slammed his body. The nose sniffed hard twice in the air. Eyes lit up. With an age-inappropriate high-pitched hiss: "Whoa!" Chi Hai was stunned. I was about to say something.

A short and sturdy figure slammed into his arms at lightning speed!

Then a voice sounded in my ears: "Grandpa, grandpa! I miss you!" (gourd baby)

Chi Hai stretched out his hand and hugged one by one, and caught Chi Daokuan steadily, and an old face bloomed like a sunflower. touched Chi Daokuan's head for a while, patted Chi Daokuan's shoulder for a while, and the smile on his face couldn't be hidden. Pinching the flesh on Chi Daokuan's face. Said fiercely: "Tall, strong." Except for the lack of time to come and see me!, it's still good!" was about to take off his pants as a routine to meet his little grandson. Suddenly I remembered something. The face was a little strange. "Dog, you've always been afraid of me, why did you change your personality today?

"Don't talk about it, it hurts, it hurts!" Chi Daokuan pouted, feeling like the flesh on his face was about to be torn off. There are water stains in the eyes that are squinted into a slit. Listening to the old man's question, a conditioned reflex appeared in his mind of a clean young man holding the "On the Void of Heng Dao" and a righteous face, "So that I can teach you, just the kind of grandfather you said." As long as you have a flutter, eat some honey on your mouth. There was an expression of wanting to talk and crying, believe me, nothing can't be settled!"

While teasing the little grandson. Chi Hai's eyes swept at the door of the mansion intentionally or unintentionally, and Chi Yuan, who was still dressed in plain clothes, stood at the door, with a somewhat complicated expression on his face. Behind him, a delicate little girl hid behind him as if she was a little scared. Fingers rubbing against the black pendant hanging around the neck. After that, there was the old butler with a smile on his face.

Chi Hai picked up Chi Daokuan with both hands and put it on the old horse's back. He patted the horse's ass with a smile on his face. "Let's catch up with you first. The old horse turned his head and touched Chi Daokuan on his back, snorted at Chi Yuan, and then walked into the mansion.

The old housekeeper named Xue Jia'an smiled slightly, looked helplessly at the father and son in front of the house, and stopped talking. After all, he shook his head, led the sensible little frangipani to chase after Chi Daokuan, and also walked towards the house.

The cool breeze rose slightly, and the two people who looked at each other were silent for a while. Take a moment.

The faint afterglow pierced through the thick clouds and silently hit the old general. Ying's old general's face was a little yellow. Chi Hai narrowed his eyes. Looking at this son who has given high hopes to himself, I don't know what to think.

Chi Yuan frowned, looking at his father in the afterglow of the sunset, and his heart was sour for no reason. After nearly ten years, it turns out that he will also grow old. A sour mood wells up. Chi Yuan walked down the steps and held his father's arm. He said softly: "It's cold, let's go home first." ”

Chi Hai turned his head sideways to look at Chi Yuan with a gloomy face, and the scolding that he had prepared for a long time was finally held in his throat. Just a word. "Now that I think about it!?" I didn't hear Chi Yuan's pout. Chi Hai stroked his white beard with a little satisfaction. "Figured it out?"

Chi Yuan hesitated. "I'm afraid that in this life, I can't figure it out. ”

Chi Hai knocked Chi Yuan down and hugged his arm. "Then what are you going to do when you come back!I'm not dead yet!I don't need you to cry!" With that, he ignored Chi Yuan and walked back to the mansion quickly.

Chi Yuan followed behind him and glanced at his father's back. Don't dare to answer. Frowned. I lamented in my heart. It's bitter.

Chi Hai looked at the osmanthus tree in the courtyard that looked gloomy and bullying, and his steps paused. "Take some time to go to the palace tomorrow. "Rubbing against the branches that looked dry. "Your Majesty has some latest concerns, so it's better for you to listen to them. ”

Chi Yuan raised his eyebrows. He hesitated. "It's saved. ”

After that, the father and son were speechless

Meanwhile. An unknown grove of dense woods.

The two figures quickly collided together, and they were separated with a single touch. A slightly thin figure didn't look at the guy behind him, stepped on it, took advantage of the staggered strength, left a few footprints on the trunk one after another, and fled far away. Then voices began to sound in the grove.

"Bastard, Bunny, don't let me catch you!"
