The houses on both sides of the road are large in scale and cover a wide area. From a distance, they can be seen from afar with row upon row of pavilions.
As He Tiegu walked, he introduced the origin and background of the owner of the house to Wei Xuanyi and others.
These things, for him, an old-fashioned dog who has been hanging around in Dingyi City all his life, are really easy to come by, and the origins of each family can be explained clearly.
Until a house appeared on the side of the road with an exceptionally wide area and a Xie Mansion plaque hanging on the gate.
He Tiegu only mentioned a few words vaguely.
"This is the house of Mr. Xie, the former county king of Dingyi City. He has a strict family tradition and a great reputation! Look at the house opposite..."
But before he could change the topic, Xu Luo had already laughed out loud.
"This is A Jing's husband's family, oh, I should say her ex-husband's family!"
He Tiegu felt as if his neck had been strangled, and the rest of his words were blocked in his throat. He was stunned for a long time without uttering a single word.
Just by listening to the tone of Xu Luo's words, one could tell that he didn't have any good impressions of the Xie Mansion. He Tiegu was an old cunning guy, but how could Xu Luo be easy to get along with?
Listening to Xian Zhi's intention, He Tiegu looked at Gu Xixi and the others, with a faint hint of prayer in their eyes.
If something happens, Captain Xuan Yi and his group can just pat their butts and leave, but where can he go?
Don't underestimate these high-ranking officials. Although they are no longer in office, they may not be able to accomplish whatever they want to do, but if they want to ruin someone's affairs, they are absolutely sure of it. Who can really avoid being stained by officialdom?
Xu Luo ignored him and just mentioned a few words about A Jing's obsession with the child before she died.
Among the young men like Xuan Yiwei, except for Xu Luo, a country bumpkin who makes up for the numbers, which one of them is not capable of running around in the county?
What's more, they are still being reasonable now, especially the two young ladies Gu Xixi. As women, they feel the same way. Zhao Shuangzhi is about to rush forward and smash the door.
At this moment, the side door opened a small crack.
A small head squeezed out with difficulty, and behind it was a huge leather bag that was inconsistent with his short stature. This should be a messenger boy who happened to be delivering something.
Xintong glanced at Xu Luo and the others and wiped the corners of his mouth subconsciously.
He was stunned for a moment, his face quickly turned pale, he lowered his head and ran forward, obviously aware of the noble status of these people.
However, because the huge skin bag behind his back was too heavy, it got caught in the crack of the door. Xintong's thin body suddenly lost his balance and was about to fall forward.
He stumbled forward a few steps involuntarily, but he still ran straight into the Qingniu cart parked next to him.
Xu Luo, who was about to call the door to ask questions, was startled, his mind moved, and he quickly suppressed the Qingniu Cart to fight back spontaneously.
For ordinary people, the power of any accompanying creature is unimaginable. Even if it only counterattacks slightly, this letter boy will be in danger.
The letter boy got up from the ground with difficulty.
He was about seven or eight years old, his hands and face were covered with sores, and he was wearing a large, obviously ill-fitting robe.
In such a wet and cold season, I was dragging a pair of crude straw sandals on my feet, and the blood mixed with grass clippings had stained them darkly.
"Why don't you hurry up and get out of here! Even your baby can hit Master Mage's car? Get out of here, get out of here..."
Before Xu Luo could speak, a trace of pity flashed in Old He Tiegu's eyes and he started roaring.
Xu Luo looked at this old slippery man in surprise, who was smooth on the surface but actually had a bottom line in his heart. After being stunned for a moment, he couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.
After making sure that the letter boy was okay, he turned and looked at the high gate of the Yu family.
There must be something hidden about A Jing's wife back then. Since he promised that woman, he should keep his promise.
Otherwise, he will be upset!
But just as Xu Luo turned halfway, he suddenly turned back.
The letter boy took the opportunity to run out under He Tiegu's scolding, but his speed was not very fast.
Because his legs are obviously one long and one short, walking is naturally not smooth. This letter boy is also a lame!
Seeing this scene, Xu Luo felt that Xintong's back was so fierce that it overlapped with a very familiar scene in his memory.
A sour and spicy feeling rushed straight into his nose, and he subconsciously screamed.
"Wait, come back!"
He Tiegu, who was next to him, thought he was really going to vent his anger on others, so he intentionally or unintentionally stood in front of him, and slapped Xin Tong hard on the spot with his big hand, who was so frightened that he froze in place.
"Today, I will help this little bastard to remember some things and let you know that there are some people in this world that you cannot even take a second look at!"
But suddenly a huge force stopped him, Xu Luo's palm locked tightly on his wrist like an iron plier, then gently pushed him to the side, and waved to Xintong again.
"come over!"
Although Xu Luo's face was already covered with what he thought was the most amiable smile, it is believed that Tong's thin body was still shaking like chaff.
But He Jinqiu, who is considered a big shot in the entire Dingyi City, is eating turtles in front of this seemingly friendly elder brother. How can he dare to run away, and where can he run?
Xu Luo was very patient at the moment, and waited until the letter boy came to him tremblingly, then asked warmly.
"May I have your name?"
The letter boy quickly raised his head, glanced at him secretly, and then lowered his head.
"Sir, my name is Xiao Shitou!"
Xu Luo was stunned: "Why are you called Xiao Shitou? Don't you have a last name?"
"My mother said she hoped that I could be like a stone and not die without eating or drinking! Last name, last name..."
Having said this, Xintong quickly raised his head again, as if to confirm whether Xu Luo's kindness was true or false.
But before Xu Luo's eyes met, he buried his head in his chest like a frightened mouse.
"Last name, last name... Mom asked me to forget it. Mom said that whoever can make me no longer hungry will have my last name!"
Xu Luo felt an unknown fire burning inside his heart, but he was afraid of scaring the child, so he tried his best to suppress it.
What's more, he has no idea where to direct this violent anger?
Who is to blame? Dingyi City?
Small stones were left here, and although it was a little harder to live, at least they didn't starve to death!
Blame Dayan?
But without Quan Ye Si, I don’t know how many children like Xiao Shitou would have been unable to wait for this moment when he became angry and angry.
It’s God’s fault, it’s the world’s fault, but does he have the ability and qualifications?
Xu Luo found that he was at a loss for words for a moment, his anger surged back like a tide, and a huge feeling of powerlessness filled his heart.
He didn't know what he should do or what he could do. He only knew that the world should not be like this!
At this moment, Xu Luo seemed to be completely confused and stayed there for a long time without moving.
Seeing that he had not moved for a long time, the letter boy raised his head again and secretly looked at him.
Especially when he saw Xu Luo's skinny and weak legs, he was stunned for a moment.
In his young mind, he never thought that these high-ranking mages could actually be cripples!
