The moon is as cool as water

Jiang Pingtian never thought that he would see his eldest son in his lifetime. Back then, when he had another son, in order to make his new wife happy, he abandoned Jiang Qi for life.For this reason, sworn brother Yue Mingxi had a big fight with him and cut off his robes.

Later, although he often missed Jiang Qi, he made a big mistake in the end, and had no face to see him again; after that, he heard that Yue Mingxi died of illness, and Jiang Qi left Qingyi Mountain without a trace.Unexpectedly, a few days ago, I overheard the helper servant at home mentioning that Jiang Qi had appeared in Sihe Village and was seriously injured.

Jiang Pingtian looked at Jiang Qi who was sitting outside chopping firewood, his eyes were flushed, although he had been in the business world for many years and had seen countless worlds, but at this moment he didn't know what to say, so he could only mutter the name he chose himself: "Qi'er..."

When Jiang Qi heard this long-lost voice, his heart trembled, his hand holding the machete trembled slightly, and he couldn't confirm where he was for a while.He hesitated and turned his head to look at the face that had appeared countless times in his dreams. It was still the thick black eyebrows, sentimental eyes, straight nose bridge and thin lips that he remembered. Good maintenance has left little time on Jiang Pingtian's face. trace.

Jiang Pingtian stepped forward to Jiang Qi's side, couldn't help reaching out to grab his arm, and said eagerly: "Qi'er, I'm your father."

"I don't have a father." Jiang Qiping recovered his feelings. He once wanted to see him so much, but now he feels that he is just a passerby.He took the crutch beside him, stood up and left.

His right foot was weakly pointing to the ground, unable to use any strength at all. Jiang Pingtian knew that his right foot was injured on the way here, but he didn't expect it to be so serious: "Qi'er, what happened these years?"

Jiang Qi didn't answer, bypassing Jiang Pingtian, and walked into the house by himself.

Jiang Pingtian's face turned red and white, he knew that his son had been heartbroken by him, and now he really didn't want to see him.

Qin Er, who was following Jiang Pingtian, stood awkwardly in the yard. He was not good at words, so he could only laugh dryly and said: "Master, please sit inside."

Jiang Pingtian nodded uneasy, and followed Jiang Qi into the house.The light in the room is not good. Although it looks clean, it is extremely simple. A wooden table and a few benches are all the belongings.

Jiang Qi doesn't want to see Jiang Pingtian anymore, but this is also in someone else's house, he has no reason to drive out the host's guests, so he can only turn a blind eye to Jiang Pingtian who came in.

Qin Er's family is poor, and there is no tea in the house for hospitality.Qin's second daughter-in-law put boiled water in a rough porcelain bowl and handed it to Jiang Pingtian, and at the same time moved a bench for Jiang Pingtian to sit on.

Jiang Pingtian was used to being pampered, and now he was rubbing the chipped porcelain bowl, feeling extremely regretful in his heart, he never imagined that his son would fall into such a situation.He always thought that Jiang Qi stayed with Yue Mingxi in Qingyi Mountain, with Yue Mingxi's ability and doting on Jiang Qi, even if he didn't know how to live well, he couldn't be worse than ordinary people.

Jiang Pingtian put down the porcelain bowl, got up and walked to Jiang Qi to say something, but Jiang Qi's attitude was blunt, and he had to think about how to persuade him.

The time gap of more than ten years made Jiang Qi feel that there was nothing to say between them. He couldn't bear the eyes that fell on him, so he got up and wanted to leave.Jiang Pingtian didn't give him a chance to leave, so he squatted down and grabbed his right foot.

"What are you doing?" Jiang Qi was so frightened by his unexpected action that he wanted to retreat, almost falling down.

Jiang Pingtian's hands avoided the place where the cloth was wrapped, and the texture of the rough trousers made him feel regretful. If it wasn't for his mistake, how could Jiang Qi fall into such a predicament? He said in a hoarse voice: "Qi Son, don't be nervous, I'll just look at your feet."

Jiang Qi didn't appreciate it very much, since he was able to make up his mind to ignore him at the beginning, why bother to pretend now, and said coldly: "It's none of your business!"

Qin's second daughter-in-law stood aside, watching his father and son's embarrassing meeting, and tried to mediate.Her heart is soft, and she said that no matter what happened in the past, blood between father and son is thicker than water after all, so there is no overnight feud between father and son, so she persuaded Jiang Qi from the side: "Little son, Master Jiang is your father after all, he also cares about you. "

These days Jiang Qi has received a lot of favors from Qin Er's family, so he couldn't ignore it, so he said: "My father died long ago! If this man really cared about me, why would he leave me on the mountain for more than ten years?"

Qin's second daughter-in-law sighed: "Let him go about the past. Now that the master knows that something happened to you, he rushed over immediately. Why do you bother?"

Jiang Qi sneered in his heart. The past injury was like an old knife wound. Although it was no longer painful, it had already become an irreparable scar. How could it be possible to let it go.

Qin Er's daughter-in-law wanted to say something, but Qin Er, who had been stuck in the yard, stepped into the door in two steps and pulled his daughter-in-law out.

What Qin Er's daughter-in-law wanted to say was blocked in her throat, and she was about to attack, but she heard Qin Er whispered: "Go, go, go! What are you messing around with? The matter between my father and my son, you A bitch stay away!"

Qin Er's tongue was much sharper in front of his daughter-in-law. Qin Er's daughter-in-law frowned, raised her hand and pinched Qin Er's arm: "Aren't I afraid that they will quarrel?"

Seeing that his daughter-in-law was angry, Qin Er covered his arms with an "ouch" and said, "I'll just say you don't understand. Outsiders can control other people's housework. You, just wait here with me. I don't think Mr. Jiang is a hard-hearted person, maybe he will leave with the master in a while."

Qin's second daughter-in-law thought about it, and felt that what her man said was right. The storyteller in the town often said, "It's hard for an honest official to decide on housework."The matter of Mr. Jiang's family really has to be resolved by himself. Although he kindly wants to persuade him to make peace, it is superfluous after all.

After thinking about this, Qin's second daughter-in-law relaxed her brows, and she pulled her husband to sit side by side in the yard.

Qin Er saw his daughter-in-law's face turned from cloudy to sunny, and began to complain in a low voice: "Arm hurts."

Qin's second daughter-in-law chuckled, and pinched him lightly again: "It deserves it!"

With no one else in the house, Jiang Pingtian felt much more at ease.He thinks that no matter how big a mistake he made back then, he is still Jiang Qi's old man. It's really not easy to wipe off this old face and beg his son in front of outsiders, especially the servants of the family.

Jiang Qi couldn't break free from the foot held by Jiang Pingtian, so he could only freeze in place and watch Jiang Pingtian roll up his trousers.His ankles were covered with a thick layer of herbs, making them look bloated and scary.

Jiang Pingtian didn't know medical skills, and he didn't dare to take apart the cloth strips for a closer look, so he could only ask Jiang Qi distressedly: "Why are you still swollen like this?"

No matter how much Jiang Qi hated him in his heart, he knew that the concern was sincere, he hesitated for a moment, and finally replied: "It's not so swollen, it's just that the medicine is applied more."

He couldn't stand his biological father squatting at his feet, trying to retract his right foot: "Don't do this, my foot hurts."

Jiang Pingtian was afraid that he would really hurt him again, so he quickly let go.After thinking about it for a long time, he finally said in one breath: "Qi'er, I know that I broke your heart back then, and you refuse to recognize me now, but you don't have to go against your feet if you are angry. I have I heard from Qin Er that the bones in your feet are broken. If you don’t hurry up and treat them, you may be left with disabilities in the future. Qi’er, come home with me, and I’ll ask a better doctor to treat you.”

Jiang Qi lowered his eyes: "I don't want to go back, that's your home, not mine."

Jiang Pingtian saw that he was determined to draw a clear line with himself, and said anxiously: "What are you talking about? You have lived there for so many years, why is it not your home?"

Jiang Qi: "..."

Jiang Pingtian has always been very talkative at home, but now he feels that all his caring and considerateness has been wasted, his heart is anxious and angry, and his tone has become tough: "You are a young master of the Jiang family. You have never returned home, and you have been living here. Like what?"

Hearing his bad tone, Jiang Qi raised his voice: "Where I live has nothing to do with you! You still remember that I am the young master of the Jiang family, how rare it is!"

Jiang Pingtian couldn't hold back his face after being ridiculed by him so much, "I'm your father! Why doesn't it have anything to do with me?"

Jiang Qi continued: "Why didn't you know that you were my father ten years ago? Don't you think it's too late to say this now?"

Jiang Pingtian's complexion turned pale. After all, he was old, and he had long lost his heart in the long-term guilt towards his son.He wanted to start over, but Jiang Qi couldn't forget the past. He lowered his body again and said softly: "Qi'er, I admit that I was sorry for you back then, but at that time your aunt and your brother were young, so I couldn't help it."

Jiang Qi still had a look of reluctance: "You don't need to say any more, I don't want to go with you anyway."
