Chapter 472
"Ask who."
"Who are you talking about asking?"
"Here, there are quite a few people who can be asked."
"You know who Grandpa is talking about."
"That person doesn't need to be asked; he will come by himself."
"When?"
"When he thinks he has the strength to kill you, it should... not be too long, soon."
"Does he only kill Grandpa?"
"I don't know, I can't guarantee it; all I can do is try my best to fight for it."
"Xiyuan, I've wronged you."
"If you promise not to open the domain, I can go back now, break your legs, and bring you here."
"Hahahaha!"
"In a while, you won't be able to laugh anymore; even if I told you countless times when I was at home, you still don't know how serious this matter is.
You haven't really been in contact with him; you don't know how terrifying he is... no, it's not terrifying, it's powerful, no, it's excellent."
"Grandpa knows now."
"Then there is still a chance now; before everything is laid out, I think things can be talked about; once it's laid out, it will really be too late."
"Xiyuan, did you just come back?"
"Yes."
"Then have a good rest, don't be too tired outside; if you feel it's meaningless, come back early; your grandma is at home, our family can afford to support you."
"I'm afraid if I go back now, I will really have no home."
"Xiyuan, help Grandpa ask him one more time. I think he should agree to come."
"He hasn't come back yet."
"Yes, he is very busy now."
"When he comes back, I will tell him."
"Good, if he agrees, tell Grandpa in advance."
"To let you prepare in advance?"
"Not the kind of preparation you think, it's preparing to open the ancestral home's front door to welcome him; our family is a Dragon King Sect after all, the etiquette that should be there cannot be lacking."
"Good, I know."
"Talk to your grandma again."
On the other end of the phone, Chen family's Old Lady's voice came:
"Xiyuan."
"Hey, Grandma."
"Take care of yourself; no matter when, no matter what happens, remember to eat your fill."
"Yes, I will, Grandma."
After Chen family's Old Lady hung up the phone, she turned around and looked at her old partner sitting on the reef next to her, facing the sea, holding a wine gourd.
Because they were on the phone earlier, the waves were quiet and there was almost no sound; now that the phone was hung up, the sound of the waves continued.
Chen family's Old Lady walked to her old partner's side; she saw the Wangjiang Tower token on her old partner's waist trembling, but it was clear that her old partner didn't intend to respond, let alone attend the meeting.
Chen Pingdao took a sip of wine.
Chen family's Old Lady: "It seems, you were really scared?"
Chen Pingdao: "Yes."
Chen family's Old Lady: "You, why are you so stubborn?"
Chen Pingdao shook the wine gourd in his hand: "Zhizhi, others don't understand me, don't you understand me? I, this person, have been stubborn since I was young until now."
Jiang Xiuzhi: "I just don't understand, is it that difficult? If you're wrong, go admit it, explain what should be explained; at worst, I'll accompany you to kneel to that sister of mine and listen to her disposal."
Chen Pingdao raised his head and looked at the blue sky: "But, I didn't do anything wrong."
Jiang Xiuzhi: "You..."
Chen Pingdao lowered his head: "I went to do what I thought was right; if I have to say I was wrong, it was wrong that I didn't do the right thing thoroughly."
Jiang Xiuzhi: "Then wouldn't it be easier to explain?"
Chen Pingdao shook his head: "Zhizhi, if a person walks in front of you and says I didn't go all out to kill you, just left you hanging by a thread, leaving you a glimmer of survival, so you should be grateful to me, wouldn't you think this person is crazy?"
Jiang Xiuzhi closed her eyes.
Chen Pingdao: "Heh, even if I can fool everyone, I can't fool myself.
Before I went, we actually didn't know who we were going to deal with; when I sensed the granddaughter and the old friend's aura, I hesitated, raised half a hand, and couldn't bear to kill them all;
But in fact, this glimmer of survival wasn't something I deliberately left, because I felt at the time that he was already ten-dead-no-alive.
I waited for that sister to come to the door to ask for guilt, but she didn't come.
I guessed at the time that that person might not have died.
But even if she didn't die, with that sister's temper back then, she should have come, at most a little slower, but she still didn't come.
I was thinking, could it be that that sister has been too wronged these years, wronged to the point that her temper has completely changed."
Jiang Xiuzhi: "Heartbroken, right?"
Chen Pingdao: "Heartbroken."
Jiang Xiuzhi: "Chen Pingdao, you old beast really deserve to die."
Chen Pingdao: "When that person called me through Xiyuan and asked me directly, I knew it wasn't that that sister's temper had changed, but that she had a sustenance in her heart.
Only broken jars will be broken; holding a precious jade in hand, naturally, one can hold it steady.
Hehehe, it's really good, that person didn't die, it's really good, that sister finally waited for a turning point, it's really good, the Qin and Liu families, from extreme adversity to prosperity."
Chen Pingdao took a big gulp of wine, held it in his mouth, swallowed it heavily, and his eyes began to turn red:
"But I didn't expect that person could be so good, good to the point of being so terrifying."
Jiang Xiuzhi: "Old thing, I really can't figure it out; you've been pure-hearted and few-desires all your life, your Chen family is located in Qiongya, always far from the disputes of the Jianghu, why did you inexplicably run to get involved in this kind of thing?"
Chen Pingdao waved his hand: "Zhizhi, you go back first; aren't the thread ends and fabric already here? Burial clothes, you can sew them for me."
Jiang Xiuzhi didn't speak anymore and turned to leave.
Chen Pingdao lay down on the reef, face-to-face with the sky above, and muttered to it:
"Yeah, why are you so inexplicable?
Xiyuan opened the domain when she just opened her wisdom.
I knew that my Chen family's generation had things to do.
If I, this old bone, don't do it, I'll have to let my Xiyuan do it.
But after I did it, it made me see less clearly, confused.
Where is this the source of disaster that is rare in a thousand years, the turbulent great evil?"
Chen Pingdao pointed the wine gourd at his mouth, poured all the wine inside, and finally smashed the wine gourd heavily toward the sea surface.
"Boom."
The waves were surging, and the waves hit the shore.
"Why does it look more and more like a precious heart held in your hands?"
Chen Xiyuan put the receiver back.
At the entrance of the small shop, Shitou and Hu Zi stood there, each holding a coin in their hands, picking out what to buy patiently while sniffing their noses.
Rural children of this age group don't have much pocket money, so they will be more hesitant when buying things, extending this feeling of happiness as much as possible.
Chen Xiyuan followed her little brother's previous style; when settling the phone bill, she bought some things by the way; sometimes when buying more expensive things, Zhang Shen would wipe out the phone bill.
After choosing things and paying the bill, because she was thinking about the content of Grandpa's phone call in her mind, feeling that something must have happened in the Jianghu recently, when leaving the small shop, Chen Xiyuan handed what she bought to the younger brothers of these two little brothers.
Shitou and Hu Zi looked at Chen Xiyuan who was walking away, stunned.
The brothers lowered their heads and looked at the few packs of Huazi that had just been stuffed into their hands.
Zhang Shen said with a smile: "Come on, I'll return the cigarettes for you, you take the money to buy your own."
Hu Zi handed the cigarettes to the counter.
Shitou pulled the cotton coat on Hu Zi's body and whispered a few words in his ear; Hu Zi took the cigarettes back, and the two children ran away.
Zhang Shen shouted: "Hey, you two don't secretly learn to smoke yourselves."
When Chen Xiyuan walked to the entrance of Big Beard's house, she saw Xiao Yingying who came back riding a tricycle.
In the tricycle, there were two large jars of wine just bought from the wine shop in town.
Chen Xiyuan asked: "Do you know what happened in the Jianghu recently?"
Xiao Yingying stopped the car and shook her head at Chen Xiyuan.
She was born in the Jianghu, but she didn't understand that Jianghu.
Chen Xiyuan helped lift the two jars of wine from the tricycle.
Xiao Yingying turned around.
Chen Xiyuan: "Are you going out again?"
Xiao Yingying: "Buy wine."
Chen Xiyuan: "Didn't you just buy it back?"
Xiao Yingying: "You're back, he's happy, afraid it's not enough."
After Xiao Yingying left riding the car, Chen Xiyuan carried the two jars of wine and walked onto the dam.
On the dam, Lihua was sitting there making paper offerings.
The white-business of Li Sanjiang's family is doing better and better now; whether it's paper offerings or incense and candles, there is absolutely no worry about sales. Ever since there have been distributors in the city, the family hasn't stockpiled any goods; basically, as soon as a batch is made, it's rushed out to be handed over.
Lihua stood up and greeted enthusiastically: "Miss Chen, you're back."
Chen Xiyuan: "Recently in the Jianghu, any big events?"
Lihua tidied up the hair on her temples and said: "My husband and I have long since retired from the Jianghu."
Actually, at the earliest, Xiong Shan would also go to inquire about Jianghu news, mainly wanting to hear about Young Master Li's Jianghu deeds; as a result, after checking and checking, there was no such person.
Lihua still felt puzzled, Xiong Shan only felt lingering fear.
Later, he simply didn't bother to inquire.
Chen Xiyuan put down the wine jars and walked to the edge of the dam.
Next to the medicine garden below the dam, Benben was sitting on a small stool, in front of him was a large grid cloth, on which nodes were drawn.
Benben held a brush in his hand, pointing and drawing circles on the grid.
Daoist Priest Sun squatted beside him; every time Benben drew a circle, he would clap his hands excitedly:
"Hahaha, right right right, it's here, it's here, my grandson-in-law is worthy of being a genius, a genius!"
When he couldn't control his emotions, Daoist Priest Sun would hold Benben's head and kiss him hard on the head.
Benben pursed his lips, very helpless.
Originally, when Li Zhuiyuan and A Li were not at home, Lihua didn't need to send her son over to accompany the young master and young lady to relieve boredom, and Benben could also take a vacation because of this.
As a result, after this Daoist Priest Sun recovered from his injuries, he immediately taught him personally, directly teaching him formations.
Teaching in other places wouldn't work; in order to show his sincerity, Daoist Priest Sun taught facing the peach forest every time.
Benben looked at Xiao Hei who was lazily lying down and sunbathing beside him.
Xiao Hei opened his eyes, looked at the child, and wagged his tail gloatingly.
"Come, grandson-in-law, focus, let's continue." ===== CHAPTER 473 =====
