Chapter 168: The Man Who Hunted Down Xiaowei
After watching the eldest lady fall asleep after eating the elixir she had refined, Xiao Wei went outside to catch up with the uncle. Although he saved his uncle first, he also lived in his uncle's house for a period of time when he was homeless, and it can be regarded as a clear situation.
"Silly, Xiaowei, have you been doing well in the past six months?" Looking at the tall and burly Xiaowei sitting in front of him, the uncle's heart couldn't help but be full of excitement and emotion. Before, he thought that the stupid big man with a little abnormal brain had been killed by that group of fierce black-clothed people, but who knew that "stupid people have stupid blessings", and the stupid big man actually escaped such a catastrophe.
Xiao Wei smiled innocently and said, "I've been following the boss for the past six months." Very good. Some memories have also been recovered. "If it weren't for the boss, maybe I would still be a stupid big man now. Of course, it is more likely that he has turned into a pile of white bones Thinking about it, Xiao Wei couldn't help but glance at Xiao Lan who was sitting on the side talking to Hongyun gratefully.
The uncle followed Xiao Wei's gaze and looked at Xiao Lan, who looked like a fairy, and asked suspiciously, "Boss, I don't know who this young lady is?"
"Hehe, her name is Xiao Lan. When I was chased and killed by a group of bad guys, it was Xiao Lan who saved me. "Xiaowei believes in his uncle's character, so he thinks there is nothing to hide about these things.
However, Xiaowei's words fell on the uncle's ears, but it was a different taste. After thinking about it, the uncle couldn't help but bow his head in shame. He knew that the person Xiao Wei was talking about chasing him should be the group of fierce black-clothed people he saw before. He had seen that group of men in black, and he knew very clearly how powerful that group of men in black was. At that time, he was afraid that Xiaowei would affect his family, so after Xiaowei lived for a few days, he couldn't wait to take Xiaowei away. However, after letting Xiaowei leave, he has always felt guilty. And now that he saw Xiaowei sitting in front of him intact, he felt even more guilty.
Finding that the uncle's expression was a little wrong, Xiao Wei and Xiao Lan couldn't help but be stunned. After a while, Xiao Wei thoughtfully asked, "Uncle, what's wrong with you?"
"No, it's not. "I was asked by Xiaowei. The uncle couldn't help but raise his head anxiously. He looked at the little guard who looked at him worriedly. In his eyes, he blamed himself even more. Suddenly, he knelt down with a "poof" and knelt in front of Xiaowei.
As soon as the uncle knelt like this, Xiao Wei immediately panicked, and he hurriedly reached over to help the uncle up. But the uncle is very stubborn. With Xiaowei's strength, he can't pull the uncle. So Xiao Wei cast a look at Xiao Lan for help. Xiao Lan, who saw a clue, smiled helplessly. Then he gave Hongyun a gestured look.
This kind of thing doesn't need her to do it herself.
After receiving Xiao Lan's signal, Hongyun stood up and walked to the uncle who was kneeling in front of Xiao Wei, and then helped the uncle up.
looked at the uncle who was still squirming and trying to kneel. Xiao Lan sighed lightly and said, "Uncle, what is so difficult for you to tell Xiao Wei, why do you have to make such a big courtesy? Xiao Wei can't afford it!"
Hearing Xiao Lan say this, the burly uncle stopped struggling, and then obediently sat back on the stool. Indeed, he is so much older than Xiao Wei, and now he kneels down to Xiao Wei, isn't this just giving Xiao Wei a birthday
"Uncle, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that the uncle finally sat back, Xiao Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"I" Xiaowei asked, and the uncle began to burst into tears, and after a long time, he spit out in shame: "I'm sorry for you!"
"Ah, don't cry yet, where are you sorry for me?" Seeing the uncle crying, Xiao Wei began to panic again.
The uncle turned his head and glanced at the door of the inner room, and after making sure that the second army had not eavesdropped on their speeches, he looked at Xiao Wei with tears in his eyes and said: "Actually, when you were chased and killed by those men in black, I knew the truth, but because I was cowardly, instead of hiding you, I also found an excuse to let you leave me, I am really a beast! You saved me at the beginning, but I treated you like that." Now you have saved my lady regardless of your previous suspicions. I"
Suddenly, Xiaowei understood the reason for the uncle's self-blame. Recalling the ferocity of those men in black, Xiao Wei couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Uncle, even if you hide me, according to the ability of those men in black, they will still find me." Maybe it will affect your family. So, you were right not to take me in in the first place. Besides, I'm not living a good life now, why do you blame yourself so much? And maybe if you hadn't found a reason for me to leave, maybe I wouldn't have met Boss Xiao Lan. ”
"But,"
The uncle wanted to say something, but was blocked by Xiaowei's "No but!".
"Do you know about the man in black?" From the uncle's words just now, Xiao Lan quickly grasped the point. However, she didn't suspect that those men in black had anything to do with the uncle, but felt that it was very likely that the uncle knew something about the men in black.
The uncle looked up at Xiao Lan in surprise, and did not immediately answer her question.
Xiao Lan laughed and said, "Uncle, I don't mean anything else. It's that I think those people in black are very likely to be related to Xiaowei's life experience, and I want to ask you if you know something about those people in black. Or you can tell what you have stumbled upon. She had always wanted to find the group of men in black, and then help Xiaowei learn his previous identity, but there was no news of those men in black. Now that she finally got some news about those people in black, of course she won't let it go.
"Oh, that's it. Then I'll tell you all about the first few times I saw those men in black. "Since he can help his great benefactor Xiaowei, then he is naturally duty-bound.
It turned out that it was just a coincidence that the uncle had seen those men in black and met Xiaowei several times before.
The first time he saw the men in black was on a foggy morning. At that time, he had to pass through a forest, and then go to the imperial city market. However, as he passed through the forest, he suddenly noticed the sound of shouts and fights in the forest. So, curious, he leaned over. He hid behind a bush of bushes and peeked inside at the fight, and he was surprised to find that it was a group of masked men in black with weapons slashing at a tall boy in a gray suit. However, the young man was also bizarre, and the deadly slashing of those men in black actually dodged the young man. Later, the uncle, fearing that he would get into trouble, hurried out of the forest from another path. However, "it is a blessing and not a curse, and it is a disaster that cannot be avoided." That afternoon, when the uncle came back from the market, he passed through the forest again, but he was unlucky enough to meet the group of men in black head-on. By then, the boy was gone. The group of men in black squeaked and crookedly said a lot of bird language to the uncle who was extremely scared in his heart, but the uncle didn't understand a word, so naturally he couldn't answer the questions of the group of people in black. At the end, the leader of the group of men in black actually kicked him impatiently. The strength of that kick was very big, the uncle's leg "snapped", and it turned out to be kicked off by the man in black, and then the uncle was also unconscious in pain, and when he woke up, his leg had been dressed with herbs, and he was tied to a correction board. Yes, he was rescued, and the person who saved him was the boy who was hunted down by the men in black. After a few words, the uncle noticed that the young man's mind seemed to be a little unclear, so he asked the young man to send him home, and in order to heal his leg as soon as possible, the young man also lived in his house. A week, just a week, under the dual treatment of that stupid boy's herbs and pills, the uncle's leg was almost better. Later, he went to a neighbor's house, and heard from a few neighbors that a group of strange men in black often passed by, and those men in black seemed to be looking for some uncle, and the more he thought about it, the more he became more and more uneasy. The next day, the uncle let Xiaowei leave under the pretext of being poor
At that time, the uncle knew very well that it was immoral for him to do this, but for the sake of his son and wife, he still did it with a clear conscience. Now that his lady has been sick for so long, he has always thought that this is God's retribution for him, but the young man, Xiaowei, appeared in time and saved his critically ill lady
"Uncle, in fact, you don't have to blame yourself. I understand your struggle. You are also doing this for the sake of the eldest mother and the second army. I don't blame you. I hope you stop blaming yourself. "To be honest, in fact, he is still a little glad that he left his uncle's house at the beginning, otherwise don't say that he may bring disaster to the uncle's family, maybe he won't be able to save Xiao Lan Boss who was seriously injured and unconscious in time, then I don't know what will happen to him and Xiao Lan Boss now
Everything is coincidental, and it is simply impossible to judge the good or bad of a thing from one side. So, let it pass if it's gone, and live well now.
"But, after all, I'm sorry for you" Although the uncle is a poor commoner, he has always been loyal and honest, but he still can't pass the level in his heart after all.
"Uncle, you didn't do anything wrong, so there's no need to blame yourself. Xiao Lan looked at the uncle who still blamed herself, and couldn't help but say a word of comfort, and then she continued to ask: "Uncle, after Xiaowei left, did that group of black-clothed people still appear around here?" If that group of black-clothed people is still in the Melbourne Imperial Capital, then Xiaowei's life experience will be easier to handle.
"Nope. Silly, Xiaowei, after a few days of walking, those men in black never appeared again. ”
"Oh. Hearing that the man in black had disappeared, Xiao Lan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Even if Xiao Wei decided to follow her on the adventure in the future and decided to abandon everything before, Xiao Lan still felt that he should help Xiao Wei figure out his background and figure out who was chasing and killing him (to be continued......
