As we gradually reached the foothills, we could already see dots of human lights in the thick darkness. The sky and the earth seemed to be in the same crystal ball, with the mountains and rivers in between, echoing each other from afar.
"I will explain it to my family. Don't say anything." Xiao Xingyu told Zhang Moyan, "If someone asks you, just say you went up the mountain with me. It's best not to say you saw that."
Block Tongzhen Monument."
Did Xiao Xingyu want one person to bear all the faults? Zhang Moyan blinked and opened his mouth, but thought that the Xiao family might feel uncomfortable knowing that outsiders entered the Shantang Hall, so he said nothing.
"Are you so moved?" Xiao Xingyu smiled and continued walking forward: "There is still a little time, why don't you express your inner happiness and excitement!"
Zhang Moyan choked on a mouthful of old blood.
"Just say that Mo Yan is waiting for us to go out at the door, right?" A soft childish voice sounded from behind Xiao Xingyu's neck.
Xiao Xingyu turned around and looked behind him: "Are you awake? Why are you so smart, classmate Xiao Man'er! Yes, that's what you said, you know?"
Zhang Moyan immediately felt something was wrong: "How can you teach a child to lie?"
"I didn't teach you," Xiao Xingyu said innocently, "She said it herself, why don't you let her tell the truth."
Why can people who have to be punished still talk and laugh like this?
"Yeah, okay, I know," the little great-aunt nodded, her voice listless, "One of the three of us can survive."
Zhang Moyan couldn't bear her desperate look and quickly comforted her: "Don't be afraid. Xingyu told me just now that you won't be beaten at all. Our country has laws and adults cannot beat children."
The little aunt's eyes immediately burst into flames: "Really?"
"Really! Can you ask Xingyu?"
"Xingyu, is what Mo Yan said true? I won't be beaten with a ruler?"
Xiao Xingyu glanced at Zhang Moyan funny and said "hmm" in a moderate tone.
"Wow!" The little aunt and grandma from behind almost applauded, "Oh yeah! That's great, great!"
Zhang Moyan quickly made a silence gesture for her, and glanced at Xiao Xingyu worriedly. The little aunt understood the meaning in her eyes immediately, stopped cheering, and gently hugged Xiao Xingyu tightly without saying a word.
Neck.
Soon he walked to the back door of Xiao's house. After banging on the door for a long time, no one responded. Xiao Xingyu put his aunt on the ground and called Uncle Chai. After a while, he heard a lot of rustling footsteps.
Come running, the door opens soon.
"Oh, little ancestor, where have you been!" The person who opened the door was Xiao Mumu. Behind him, almost all the Xiao family members arrived, with expressions of surprise on everyone's face.
The little great-aunt didn't dare to talk nonsense and knew she was wrong. Xiao Mumu picked her up and Zhou Xia came up and looked at her left and right: "Just come back, look at this little face! It makes Grandpa Guotao worried."
Got it!"
Xiao Mumu carried the little aunt and grandma to Xiao Guotao. Xiao Guotao covered his heart and closed his eyes: "Finally found it! Where have you been? Did you meet a bad person? Are you injured?"
"No, no," the little great-aunt was still very obedient to Xiao Guotao, "I wasn't injured and I didn't meet any bad people. I was just running around and having fun by myself!"
People gathered around the little great-aunt and grandma and talked about how happy they were. Zhou Xia looked at Xiao Xingyu and Zhang Moyan and came over to ask: "Thank you for your hard work. Where did you find the little great-aunt?"
Everyone turned around when they heard this question, and Zhang Moyan and Xiao Xingyu immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.
Xiao Xingyu did not answer immediately, and combined with the fact that he came back through the back door with his little aunt and grandma, and the little aunt and grandma said that she had not met any bad people, everyone seemed to have an answer in their minds.
"Let's go eat first!" Xiao Guotao waved his hand, "Everyone is hungry, let's wait until we finish eating!"
From afternoon to evening, the whole family went out to find the little aunt and grandma, and the chef also had plenty of food. At this time, he cooked dumplings for the whole family. After the dumplings were finished, the Xiao family, whose IQs were evenly divided, almost all knew through secret visits, reasoning and guessing.
Xiao Xingyu found the little great-aunt in a forbidden area, and then an inexplicable tense atmosphere filled the air.
Shortly after the meal, Xiao Xingyu was called into his yard by Xiao Guotao. The little aunt and grandma kept holding Zhang Moyan's hand tremblingly, and finally went back to sleep under Wang Ma's persuasion.
Outside Xiao Guotao's house, Zhang Moyan, Xiao Weijiang, Xiao Weichang, Xiao Mumu, and Zhou Xia were guarding together. No one spoke, and the atmosphere was very gloomy. Just by looking at this scene, Zhang Moyan understood that these 10 strokes of the ruler must be very severe.
Remarkable.
Time passed minute by minute, and it seemed to be very long. Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the yard, and then Xiao Huai was seen stepping into the yard and walking straight into the house.
It’s no surprise for anyone to come now, but Xiao Huai’s arrival is very surprising.
"Xiao Huai, why are you here?" Xiao Mumu stopped him before he walked in and asked.
Xiao Huai looked at the lights in the room: "Grandpa called me and asked me to come over. I don't know what it was."
Xiao Mumu was puzzled, and Xiao Weijiang hurriedly urged: "Son, please go in quickly. If you can help Xingyu, please do so."
Xiao Huai did not comment, lowered his head, and walked in.
About ten minutes later, the door of the room opened, and Xiao Huai stepped out first. Under the watery moonlight and lamplight, his fair and handsome face was covered with a layer of cold ice.
"Xiao Huai, what did Grandpa Guotao say?" Zhou Xia greeted Xiao Huai as soon as he came out.
Xiao Huai didn't answer, but glared angrily behind him, and saw Xiao Xingyu walking out with slow steps, standing under the light with Xiao Huai.
In this comparison, Xiao Huai's face is actually uglier than Xiao Xingyu's.
"Brother Xingyu!" Zhou Xia walked up and asked with concern, "What did Grandpa Guotao say? Does it matter if you want me?"
Xiao Xingyu smiled at Zhou Xia with a clear look on his face: "It's okay!"
Then he felt a cold gaze directed at him, and the shooter was Xiao Huai beside him.
The corners of Xiao Xingyu's upturned mouth were pressed down. Everyone didn't know why, and their eyes turned back and forth between the two of them, and then they saw Xiao Huai scoffing angrily, "Unreasonable!" without spending a second longer.
Turn around and stride away.
"Brother, what's wrong with him?" Xiao Mumu pointed at Xiao Huai's leaving back.
Zhang Moyan, Xiao Weijiang, and Xiao Weichou all gathered around. Xiao Weijiang asked them what happened in the room, and Xiao Weicheng asked him if he wanted to be punished...
Xiao Xingyu wiped the back of his neck in the circle of worried eyes: "Aren't we just doing things according to the rules? How can I change the family rules set by our ancestors because of me?"
"I'm going in to find Grandpa Guotao!" Zhou Xia said as she stepped on her high heels to go in. "You went in to find Grandma Guotao. You had no choice but to go in."
Xiao Xingyu blocked her for a moment: "No need for Zhou Xia, I am willing to be punished for making mistakes."
"But..." Zhou Xia glanced at Zhang Moyan subconsciously.
Xiao Mumu was also very anxious and pestered Xiao Weicheng: "Dad, you and grandpa go and beg for mercy. What age are we in, and we are still enforcing family rules!"
He really asked the wrong person. Among the elders of the Xiao family, Xiao Weicheng was the most correct. He immediately threw off his arms and cursed: "Rules are rules, and it doesn't matter what reason you break them. He found out that the child is completely
You can call us to go up the mountain and open the door. It’s wrong for him to open that door without permission!"
