Cheng Wanwan took a sip of tea and looked at the sky in the distance.
"Last autumn you were lying in the grass covered in blood. It was really scary to look at you. I thought you were hopeless." She turned to look at him. "After a year, the person who is chasing you will let go of his original grudge. Well, if you just go back like this, will you be in danger?"
Although she and He Xiao were only cousins in name only, He Xiao had taken great care of her sons in the past year. Many men in the village learned martial arts from him, and he taught them with all his heart, never letting the men in the village realize their abilities. She showed her impatience even though she was in trouble. She hoped that He Xiao would be well and not go back to the capital to die.
He Xiao smiled: "Because there is danger, will you never go back? My family are all in the capital, and they don't know that I am still alive."
Cheng Wanwan said quietly: "The people who were chasing you at the beginning should also be related to your family."
If his family really cared about him, how could they not find his whereabouts for a year?
If he is really one with his family, why has he never mentioned his family members for so long?
He Xiao was shocked.
His eyes became obscure and he whispered: "The person who is chasing me is my half-brother. My mother is the second son. I am the second son and have the right to inherit. In order to get rid of future troubles, he sent people to assassinate him." I……"
Cheng Wanwan put down the tea cup: "Then your father doesn't care, won't your mother protect you?"
"My father is busy with government affairs and never cares about the affairs of the back house. My mother is my eldest brother's biological aunt, that is, my eldest brother's mother's biological sister. She has always loved this nephew who lost his mother since he was a child. She loves him as much as if he were her own flesh and blood." He Xiao had a cool smile on his lips, "When I was a kid, if my eldest brother and I cried together, my mother would definitely choose the eldest brother... When I told my mother that my eldest brother wanted to murder me, my mother didn't believe it and thought it was him. I maliciously speculated on my eldest brother, and even made me kneel in the ancestral hall for a whole day... Oh, such a family, I actually want to go back and take a look."
Cheng Wanwan was silent.
She didn't expect that the He family was so complicated, nor did she expect that a woman would abandon her biological son for her nephew.
She sighed: "If your elder brother knew that you were still alive, I'm afraid he wouldn't let it go. If you go back to the capital, it's like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth. It's better to stay."
She never liked to influence other people's decisions, but she really didn't want to see He Xiao go back and die.
"After all, she is also my mother. She gave birth to me and raised me. I want to ask her personally if she has any regrets in the past year..."
He Xiao's eyes were like ancient wells, making it difficult to see through emotions at a glance.
"Master, take me with you." Zhao Sanniu walked in with an ax on his shoulder, "Once you are a master, you will always be a father. Master is in danger, how can I stand by and watch. Although I am not good at martial arts, I am much stronger than ordinary people. , I will go to the capital with Master, so I will have someone to take care of me, right?"
Cheng Wanwan opened his lips and wanted to say something, but gave up.
Learning martial arts and traveling around the world has always been San Niu's dream. Now that the opportunity is in front of him, San Niu will not give up so easily.
If Sanniu chooses to stay in Dahe Village because of her persuasion, then Sanniu will definitely live in regret.
She suppressed the emotions in her heart and pretended to be relaxed and said: "If there is no place for you in the capital, our Dahe Village will still welcome you back. This will always be your home. Sanniu, when you and Master go to the capital, you must do everything in the same way." Your master comes first, and you can’t decide anything on your own. You are reckless and don’t like to think. If you encounter anything, you must ask your master..."
Zhao Sanniu's eyes widened in disbelief: "Mom, did you promise me to go to the capital with Master?"
He thought that after asking for a long time, his mother would relent, and he was ready for a protracted war, but he didn't expect that his mother would be so reasonable.
He looked at He Xiao with bright eyes, "Master, my mother promised me to go to the capital. Master must take me there. I must behave well and not embarrass Master!"
He Xiao knew that the matter was a foregone conclusion, but he would never drag Sanniu into the He family's vortex.
He thought for a while and then said: "Cousin, Sanniu's dream is to join the army. There are people I know in the garrison in the capital. If cousin is willing to suffer for Sanniu, I can send Sanniu to the military camp for some training. However, if it is true, If you enter the military camp, I'm afraid it will be difficult to come back in the past two or three years."
Zhao San became ecstatic when he was in Newton, and he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.
Cheng Wanwan held the tea cup and sighed as he looked at his silly son who was so happy that he couldn't find Bei.
It is not up to the mother to let the child grow up. This is not something she can decide whether to let go or not.
"I only have one request, which is to ensure the safety of San Niu. I hope that one day in the future, he will come back to me with all his beard and tail intact."
"Don't worry, Mom, I will be fine!"
Zhao Sanniu picked up the ax and rushed back to chop wood.
Cheng Wanwan asked He Xiao about some details, such as who was in charge of this military camp, whether he would need to go to the front line to fight after entering, and how complex the world of people here was... As an old mother, even if everything is trivial, Even though she understood everything clearly, she was still worried inside.
"Why are you two siblings still chatting?" Li Zheng walked in and said, "The village dinner has been prepared and everyone is waiting."
The village's dinner is arranged around the big locust tree, because the village holds several meetings every month. The ground has long been tidied up, and many large stones transported from the mountain have been padded. It is clean and flat, and dozens of large tables have been placed. , the table is filled with a variety of farm dishes.
This dinner was organized with money from the village. Although the dishes were simple, they were very rich. There were eight dishes on the table, and wine was also prepared.
"Master He, are you really leaving?"
"If Uncle Li Zheng hadn't suddenly said you were leaving, I would have thought you were a member of our Dahe Village. Hey, such a good person, why did he leave immediately after he said he was going to leave?"
"I have already said that it is time to introduce a daughter-in-law to Master He. After settling down in Dahe Village and having a baby, I will naturally feel at ease."
"..."
He Xiao had a headache, why did he talk about this matter again.
"Come on, come on, Master He, sit here." Old Mrs. Zhao pulled him to sit on the main seat, "If you want to leave, the people in our village are really reluctant to leave. My old lady hopes that after you leave, you can always I always think about the folks in Dahe Village, it would be great if I could come back and visit once every two or three years."
Everyone in the village knew that He Xiao's home was far away. Due to some accidents, he settled at his distant cousin's house.
Afraid of being questioned by the villagers, Cheng Wanwan did not specify where she lived, only that it was far, far away from Ping'an County... In this era, being far apart meant that once separated, it would be difficult to see each other again.
The sadness of parting spread among the villagers, and everyone at the table came to toast with cups, especially those who got up early every morning to practice martial arts. They were used to getting up early, squatting on horseback and boxing every day, and used to congratulate each other. Master's stern teachings... They have become stronger and stronger, have the strength to fight against three, and have the confidence to protect Dahe Village...
However, the person who gave them all this is leaving.
