He raised his arm, where there was an almost invisible scar from falling from a tree.
For so many years, he ignored this scar and forgot these things.
In other words, he deliberately sealed these memories and did not want to remember them again.
But after hearing Xiao Lin's words, he subconsciously raised his arms. It turned out that everything had not been forgotten.
Xiao Chen looked at the scar and smiled. At that time, he must have been the most carefree, right?
Then, he looked elsewhere. The yard was very clean, and there were not even fallen leaves.
And it doesn't look dilapidated. It must be taken care of by someone special and is still cleaning it.
"This place has been empty all these years, and I just thought that one day... you would come back."
Xiao Lin looked at Xiao Chen and said slowly.
Xiao Chen withdrew his gaze and looked at Xiao Lin: "Uncle Qi, thank you."
"Whatever you thank me for, it was all done by you...him."
Xiao Lin waved his hand. He really wanted to say 'your dad', but was afraid that Xiao Chen would be disgusted, so he could only say 'him' instead.
"You also know that your seventh uncle, who runs around all day long, can't take care of you even if he has this intention... He made the arrangements. Someone will come to clean the house every day, and he will not damage any place. When he is with you,
Exactly the same.”
Xiao Chen was silent, why was he?
"Oh, by the way, Xiaoyu's mother often comes over to take care of things."
Xiao Lin thought of something and said again.
Hearing this, Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Yu and nodded.
"I've been here with my mother a few times, and she won't let me touch anything here..."
Listening to their conversation, Sun Wugong asked softly.
"Brothers are true, but they are half-brothers."
Bai Ye whispered back, he also learned this from Xiao Yu's mouth.
He knows the most about Xiao Chen's affairs.
It wasn't Xiao Chen who told him, but he got Xiao Yu drunk when Xiao Yu went to Longhai, and he learned it from Xiao Yu's mouth.
"So that's it."
Sun Wugong nodded.
"What about...Brother Chen's mother? Guang only saw his father."
Bai Ye shook his head and said nothing more.
Sun Wugong was surprised, seeing that Bai Ye didn't say anything, he didn't ask any more questions.
Xiao Chen didn't stay in the yard for too long. He opened the door and walked in.
Everything in the house overlaps with what Xiao Chen remembers.
Xiao Chen looked at everything in front of him and felt a little complicated. Why?
If Xiao Sheng's performance today surprised him and made him unable to understand... then what he saw in front of him made him even more confused.
Today, Xiao Sheng's defense of him can also be interpreted as seeing that he is very strong and wants to improve the relationship with him.
But...how to explain everything in front of me?
These cannot be deceived.
He always felt that he was of no importance in Xiao Sheng's heart, and he didn't care about his life or death.
Now it seems...maybe not so.
In other words, there is something he doesn't know.
"Xiao Chen, what happened back then was not as simple as you thought..."
Xiao Lin looked at Xiao Chen, vaguely guessing what he was thinking, and said slowly.
"you know?"
Xiao Chen turned around and asked.
Xiao Lin smiled bitterly and shook his head.
He knows something, but... he can't tell.
Xiao Chen didn't think much about it. It seemed that there was something going on that he didn't know about.
Maybe it's time to talk to him sometime.
"Sister Fairy, Ling'er, Xiaobai, you can sit wherever you like."
After Xiao Chen looked around, he stopped thinking and said to them.
"good."
Ning Kejun nodded and looked at everything in the house. Is this the place where he lived when he was a child?
"In a moment, I will arrange for some maids to come over and take care of your daily life."
Xiao Lin said again.
"Girl?"
Hearing Xiao Lin's words, Bai Ye's eyes widened. In what age are you still a maid?
As for nannies, yes.
The Bai family has plenty, and they can be used as maids to do whatever they want, but they won't be called that!
"Um."
Xiao Lin nodded.
"After all, the ancient martial arts world is different from the secular world. Some things still exist... like the families in the town who are rushing to send their daughters to the Xiao family."
"All right."
Bai Ye found it a bit unbelievable. It seemed that in this three-acre land, the Xiao family was like heaven!
"There are several rooms over there. You can allocate them later. Xiaochen, your room is also there, and the bedding is new."
Xiao Lin said to Xiao Chen again.
"good."
Xiao Chen nodded, it seemed like he was really going to stay at Xiao's house for a few days.
I don't know what kind of satisfactory explanation Xiao Yi will give me.
"By the way, please accompany me to the back mountain sometime."
Xiao Chen thought of something, looked at Xiao Lin, and said.
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Xiao Lin was startled and then agreed: "Okay."
While they were talking, there was a sound of footsteps.
Xiao Chen turned around to look, and when his eyes fell on the first woman, he couldn't help but be startled.
"Mother."
Xiao Yu saw the person coming and stepped forward quickly.
"Um."
The woman nodded, it was Xiao Yu's mother who came.
"sister in law."
Xiao Lin also said hello.
"Well, I heard that Xiaochen was back, so I came here specifically to take a look... I thought there was no one here to serve me, so I brought a few maids here."
The woman smiled and looked at Xiao Chen.
"Xiaochen, I haven't seen you for many years. You've grown so big..."
"Aunt."
Xiao Chen hesitated for a moment and then shouted.
Hearing Xiao Chen's name, the woman's smile grew wider: "I heard from Xiao Yu that you saved him several times... Xiao Chen, auntie, thank you."
"Nothing, he is my brother."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"Um."
A look of relief flashed in the woman's eyes. The grudges of the past...the harmony between the two brothers is better than anything else.
"This is the head of Feiyunfang, Fairy Ning, right?"
The woman looked at Ning Kejun, who was masked in white gauze, and was very polite.
Although there are rumors that Ning Kejun and Xiao Chen have an unusual relationship, her identity should not be underestimated.
"Mrs. Xiao, hello."
Ning Kejun nodded and said hello to the woman.
After a few words of greeting, the woman directed the maid to make tea, and then arranged a room for Xiao Chen and the others.
Although the place is cleaned every day, it still needs to be tidied up if people are going to live in it.
"Xiaochen, how is your injury?"
After waiting for arrangements, Xiao Lin looked at Xiao Chen and asked.
"It's nothing serious anymore. It'll be fine after you take a rest."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"Uncle Qi, what kind of explanation do you think the old man will give me?"
"have no idea."
Xiao Lin shook his head.
"I'm not familiar with him and don't understand him."
"Then there are no legends about him? He is an innate master after all."
Xiao Chen felt that he should know more about Xiao Yi to avoid suffering any disadvantages in the subsequent contact.
Although he had some guesses, guesses were just guesses after all.
"Yes, but that was all many years ago... Don't think too much about it. Since he said he would give you a satisfactory explanation, he will definitely not let them off lightly."
Xiao Lin patted Xiao Chen's shoulder.
"Okay, you can have a good rest. I'll go to the meeting hall to see if there's any news and I'll let you know."
"good."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"As for the back mountain... I will accompany you tomorrow."
Xiao Lin thought for a while and said.
"If you get bored staying here, you can hang out at Xiao's house. Xiaoyu is here anyway."
"I understand, you go and do your business and don't worry about me."
Xiao Chen said to Xiao Lin.
"Lao Qi, if you have anything to do, go ahead and do your work. Since Xiaochen is back, I will make arrangements here."
The woman also spoke.
"Well, sorry for bothering you, sister-in-law."
Xiao Lin nodded and left the courtyard.
"Xiaochen, do you still hate your father?"
The woman looked at Xiao Chen and asked softly.
"I've heard everything about what happened just now."
"Some things are never so easy to let go of."
Xiao Chen said slowly.
"Auntie, I'm a little tired and want to rest."
"Okay, then you have a good rest first and have you brought some clothes? How about I have someone send me some clothes later?"
Women also know that some things cannot be rushed.
"No, I brought it, thank you auntie."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"Okay, then you should have a good rest first. If you need anything, just ask the maid to do it."
The woman nodded and stood up to leave.
"Mother, let me send you..."
Xiao Yu wanted to send it off.
"No, you can stay here. After all, your eldest brother hasn't been back for many years. It's more convenient for you to accompany him when he comes in and out."
The woman finished speaking to Xiao Yu and left.
Xiao Chen looked at the woman's back, a complex look flashed in his eyes.
Back then...this woman was also there.
Although it is said that what happened back then had nothing to do with this woman, it was just that someone took advantage of her.
However, he didn't intend to take his anger out on her.
Every wrong has its owner, and every debt has its own owner, and he will settle the accounts with the person who deserves them.
"Brother, are you...blaming my mother too?"
Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Chen and asked in a low voice.
Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Xiao Chen looked at him: "Haha, don't think about it, I just want to take a rest... Also, there is nothing to talk about with your mother. I feel that if we continue to talk, she will ask me when
get married."
"hehe."
Hearing this, Xiao Yu couldn't help but laugh and felt relieved, as long as the eldest brother doesn't resent his mother.
