Shao Xi and Lao Wu did not take Wei Ping directly to the backyard and hide him in the box on the carriage. Wei Ping was too weak!
Shao Xi was worried that if he just stuffed him into the box, he might be suffocated inside, so the two of them took Wei Ping back to their residence first.
After entering the house and closing the door, Old Wu put Wei Ping on the bed. He first poured a glass of water for Wei Ping to drink. It was obvious that Wei Ping was extremely weak at this time, but he could not let him drink too much at once. Otherwise, it will hurt his intestines and stomach.
So Lao Wu found a pottery bowl, broke up the dry food he brought with him, soaked it in water until soft, and fed it bit by bit into Wei Ping's mouth, telling him to slow down while feeding it.
Wei Ping hadn't eaten in an unknown amount of time. He seemed to have no energy left to eat. He could only eat slowly and swallow slowly in small mouthfuls. It was obvious that his body's eating function had been seriously affected. Influence.
After Lao Wu fed Wei Ping half a bowl of dry food, he didn't dare to let him eat anymore. At this time, he could only let him adapt slowly. If he was fed too much at once, he might burst his gastrointestinal tract.
However, even with this small amount of eating, it was obvious that Wei Ping's complexion had recovered a lot, and at least his breathing gradually became stronger. Old Wu started to take off Wei Ping's clothes again, if they could still be considered clothes.
After being imprisoned in the dungeon for more than 20 years, Wei Ping probably only wore the clothes he wore for more than 20 years and had never changed them.
The whole room was filled with that stinking smell, but there was nothing we could do! At this time, it was impossible for him to go to the yard to change clothes or wash his body. Everything could only be done in the room.
Moreover, only one small lamp can be lit in the room. I don't dare to make the light too bright, which may attract the attention and suspicion of others.
After taking off Wei Ping's rag-like clothes, Old Wu took out a set of clean clothes from his bag and briefly wiped Wei Ping's body before putting them on.
During the wiping process, Lao Wu saw that Wei Ping's body had ulcers in many places. It was probably caused by the humid environment in the dungeon for more than 20 years and Wei Ping's inability to move.
After a rough wipe, Old Wu applied some medicinal powder to Wei Ping's ulcerated area. It didn't matter whether it was useful or not, it was better than not dealing with it.
Finally he put the clothes on Wei Ping.
Weiping, who had drank water and eaten, was finally able to sit on the bed after a period of recovery. Although he still had to lean on the bedside, he had regained some strength.
Old Wu couldn't help but burst into tears when he saw that his handsome, mischievous junior brother had turned into what he is now.
If it weren't for the fear of disturbing others in the middle of the night, it is estimated that this old guy would probably grin his big mouth and howl for a while.
"Wei Ping! It's my fault, senior brother. Since I failed to rescue you more than 20 years ago, I have never come to save you again. It's not that senior brother doesn't want to come, but that senior brother really doesn't have the ability. Now senior brother finally Come on, it’s been more than twenty years since you came this late, Wei Ping, you won’t blame senior brother for coming late, right?”
Wei Ping did not answer Lao Wu, but just smiled softly "hehe". No one could understand what his smile meant.
Is it the joy of being rescued after being imprisoned for more than 20 years? Or did Lao Wu's remarks just now make him feel ridiculous? Or are you extremely disappointed with the world?
Wei Ping did not explain, and no one could guess his mood at the moment, but this laughter made people feel endless desolation and sadness.
A person who has been imprisoned for more than 20 years should have cried with joy after leaving the place of imprisonment, but Weiping was different. He was neither happy nor surprised, just smiled softly, as if he was worried about the whole world. Full of contempt.
It's like saying that it took more than twenty years to break me down, and the hardships in the world are nothing more than this.
Shao Xi looked at Old Wu with tears and runny nose, and at Wei Ping's indifferent expression, and felt very uncomfortable in his heart.
A pair of senior brothers have been separated for more than 20 years in this way, and now they meet again but can't tell how they should feel? I don’t know if it should be a surprise, should it be happy, should it be sad, or should it be resentful? This reunion is awkward and helpless.
If Shao Xi was Wei Ping, he would be confused at this moment whether he should trust the senior brother in front of him or not. Does a person who has left himself here for more than twenty years without coming to save him really care about him?
Qin Yuezong was also his senior brother back then. Didn't he do such a thing? So, could the old Wu in front of him also be after his treasure map?
Anyway, if Shao Xi was Wei Ping, Shao Xi would definitely be thinking like this in his heart.
"Second Senior Brother..."
Second senior brother?
After Shao Xi heard this title, the first image that popped into his mind was that of the fat-headed and big-eared guy he was so familiar with back then.
Co-author It turns out that Lao Wu is also a second senior brother?
When Shao Xi associated the term "Second Senior Brother" with Lao Wu, he suddenly felt like he couldn't help but laugh.
"Are you still willing to recognize me as Second Senior Brother? Are you still willing to call me Second Senior Brother? Junior Brother! Second Senior Brother is sorry for you, and it took so many years to come to save you."
Wei Ping's call of "Second Senior Brother" made Lao Wu very excited. The guilt hidden deep in his heart for so many years has been a heavy burden in Lao Wu's heart. Now Wei Ping is willing to call himself "Second Senior Brother". For Lao Wu, For Wu Li, it is tantamount to a kind of redemption.
"Is there any wine?"
Lao Wu's excited expression did not have much impact on Wei Ping. He still leaned on the bed with an expressionless expression and just asked this simple question, as if nothing else mattered.
"Wine? Yes! Yes, yes!"
Seeing Wei Ping asking for wine, Old Wu quickly agreed and opened his own silver wine flask and handed it to Wei Ping's mouth.
Wei Ping looked at Lao Wu and smiled rarely, although the smile looked uglier than crying.
He finally raised his hand and took the wine bottle from Lao Wu's hand. It seemed that the dry food he had eaten before had an effect on his recovery of physical strength.
But if you drink alcohol at this time, doesn’t it mean you don’t want to die? Shao Xi wanted to step forward to stop him, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.
Doesn’t a person who has been locked up in a dungeon for more than twenty years see life more clearly than himself? After surviving for so many years, if I could drink my favorite wine, I would be happier even if I died than alive.
Wei Ping raised Lao Wu's silver wine flask, and instead of taking big gulps of wine as expected, he took small sips.
He hasn't had a drink in so many years, but he can still maintain such determination. It can be seen that this person is a person with strong will and strong self-control.
After taking a few sips, Wei Ping closed his eyes with an expression of enjoyment. The few sips of wine in front of him may be the most delicious thing he has tasted in so many years.
After a long time, Wei Ping finally spoke.
"We are still at Qin Yuezong's home at this time, right?"
Wei Ping's question was very brief, and his tone was unusually calm when asking the question, as if he had already made his own judgment on the situation in front of him.
Shao Xi, who was standing aside, was slightly surprised. A man who had been imprisoned in a dungeon for more than twenty years was not as ecstatic and excited as he imagined when he was rescued. Instead, he could still calmly judge the situation at hand. situation.
I don’t know if it’s the past twenty years that have tempered his inner peace, or is he a calm and clear-headed person to begin with?
"Your appearance has changed a lot. Have you done something to your face again? You sneaked into the Qin family, right? What are you going to do next? How to get me out?"
With that said, Wei Ping turned his head and glanced at Shao Xi.
He didn't know Shao Xi, but when he saw Shao Xi and Lao Wu together, he was able to determine that this young man must be very close to Lao Wu, otherwise Lao Wu had always been a loner and would not easily cooperate with others.
Shao Xi didn't know much about Wei Ping's skills as a thief, but at this time, Shao Xi could be sure that this person was extremely calm-minded and judged the situation around him very accurately. It's no wonder that he was able to learn from Wuhai Kingdom's The treasure map was stolen from the palace.
In fact, the most important thing for a thief is not only the skill at hand, but also a strong heart and an extremely flexible and clear mind. Shao Xi has seen all these conditions from Wei Ping.
For now, this is a good thing. Weiping can accurately judge the situation at hand, and then he can better cooperate with his plan and avoid unexpected situations to the greatest extent.
"Yes! Senior brother has disguised himself again. We have sneaked into the Qin family. It is our young master's plan to rescue you this time. He has arranged all the next things, and this time the Qin family father and son will be responsible for those years ago. You pay for what you do.”
With that said, Old Wu also turned to look at Shao Xi.
"Young Master? You said he is your young master? When did you become someone else's servant? Back then, you traveled around alone, freely and freely. How could you become someone else's slave?"
Before Lao Wu could speak, Shao Xi took over the topic.
"You have been locked up in the dungeon for so many years. You probably don't know that Old Wu was injured by Qin Yuezong in order to rescue you, and was chased by Qin Miao and almost lost his life. Fortunately, it was my grandfather. Saved him.
"So he stayed in my house as a servant. Ten years ago, my family also suffered a sudden change. Fortunately, Old Wu rescued me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to save you with him today."
"I see. It seems that I have caused trouble to the second senior brother. The second senior brother has not forgotten me."
Wei Ping turned to look at Lao Wu again, his eyes full of gratitude. Maybe he had complained about Lao Wu in his heart over the years, but now that he knew everything, the only thing left in his heart was moved.
"Senior Wei, this is your thing, and it should be returned to its original owner now."
With that said, Shao Xi handed the piece of cloth he took out of the vase in front of Wei Ping.
