Rebirth of Upside Down

Chapter 20 Chapter 20

Bei Zhao looked at him and smiled: "Are you afraid?"

Xie Jin said: "Yes."

Unexpectedly, he replied so bluntly, Bei Zhao was slightly surprised, and then said: "Even if you escape today, you can't escape tomorrow, why do you want to avoid me?"

He stood up, clapped his hands, and immediately someone came in from outside, bowing his head to obey the order.

"My lord and Lord Xie want to take a bath."

The man hesitated, and asked boldly, "Then... how many tubs do you want?"

"My lord only needs one, I'll go back right away, don't bother you." Xie Jin said first.

It seemed that he also noticed that the atmosphere was not right, and the man hurriedly withdrew.

Bei Zhao was not angry because Xie Jin disobeyed him, but judged with a smile: "It's really stubborn."

Seeing that he was relieved, Xie Jin also heaved a sigh of relief, and said cautiously: "I will leave."

Not daring to look at Bei Zhao's expression, he walked out and smiled wryly: Xie Jin, Xie Jin, you still can't take this step after all.

In fact, he and Bei Zhao had a predestined relationship for a long time.

That summer, the cicadas were still making noise, Liu Meiyan was still alive, but she was seriously ill, and the child Xie Jin was still looking forward to his father's visit.

"Ah Jin." Liu Meiyan squatted down and wiped the sweat on his forehead with a plain handkerchief: "Are you bored by yourself?"

Xie Jin didn't quite understand the meaning of the word bored, but he could sense something from his mother's sad expression. He shook his head: "Not bored, is mother bored?"

"Me, I'll see you tomorrow, how can I be bored? Do you want to go out and play?"

Xie Jin nodded seriously: "I really want to."

"Go out, take the money, and buy whatever delicious food you want." Liu Meiyan took out another handkerchief and counted out ten copper coins.

Children naturally like to play around. Although Xie Jin has no friends, he also yearns for a wider world, so he took the money and went out - Xie Zihan didn't care about them, it was not difficult to sneak out.

Xie Jin walked straight along a road, not daring to turn a corner, for fear that he would not be able to come back if he got lost.He didn't think it was interesting, and when he glanced over, it was the same, but it was really boring.

Suddenly a group of people came, with white cloths wrapped around their heads, walking in one direction whistling.Xie Jin thought for a while, and then followed behind.He thought to himself, such a group of people must be going to some interesting place, as long as they keep following them, they will not get lost—after all, they all want to go home, and they will definitely return the same way.

Inwardly he boasted of his cleverness.Then I saw this group of people knelt down and kowtowed.He grew up in Xie's Mansion since he was a child, and he didn't know that this was a funeral procession, his eyes flashed like lacquer, and he felt that this group of people was novel and interesting, and he became more determined to follow.

Just followed all the way, watching them put the huge wooden box into the pit, fill it with soil, howl, and then leave.

Only then did Xie Jin feel the danger. The route they went back was different from the way they came.After walking halfway, he found that he hadn't walked all these roads. Xie Jin finally plucked up the courage to grab a man's sleeve: "Uncle, how can I get to Xie's residence?"

The man looked down and saw a very beautiful little boy, and his attitude became gentle unconsciously: "Which Xie's mansion?" There are many families with the surname Xie.

Xie Jin didn't know anymore, he didn't even know his father's name, he reported Liu Meiyan's name, but that man was an extremely honest person, he had never heard of Liu Meiyan's reputation.

He stared blankly at the group of people walking away, a little helpless, with tears in his eyes, and even more panic in his heart.Just asking for directions had exhausted all his courage, he walked without direction, finally couldn't walk anymore, fell to the ground and cried.

Bei Zhao didn't appear at this time, but an aunt who appeared, and perhaps another more accurate word could be used to call her—Pai Huazi.

Xie Jin believed her and followed her away.Then, like countless children, he was locked in a small dark room. The dark room was dark, and the three days he spent there were the most difficult three days in Xie Jin's short life in his previous life.

There were no fights there, because all the children under the age of ten were detained, and they were scared out of their wits, and fear shrouded everyone's mind.

Three days later, Xie Jin was sold out. He was very lucky and was sold to the Six Princes' Mansion—Bei Zhao was 13 years old at that time, so he could open his own mansion to live alone—Xie Jin didn't know that it was the Six Princes' Mansion.

As a slave to be served, he was trained with dozens of others, and the stern nun would throw the pimp on them if there was anything wrong.But compared to being locked in a small black room, it's already very good.

After living in Liuwangfu for a few days, he saw Bei Zhao.At that time, Bei Zhao was not able to bury all his thoughts in his belly like now, with a proper smile on his face.At that time, Bei Zhao's face was cold, as if someone owed him several million taels of silver.

But for some reason, Xie Jin didn't feel scared when he looked at him, he just thought he was good-looking.Children always have a desire to get close to beautiful things, and Xie Jin is no exception.

He watched helplessly as the well-dressed and even better-looking boy came over, looked at him, and asked Mammy, "His name?"

Mammy asked him sternly, "What's your name?"

Xie Jin shivered for a moment, unable to speak.

Mammy was about to whip the thong: "Useless stuff!"

"Bold!" Yun Su scolded with a cold face: "Dare to hit someone in front of the prince, are you tired of work?"

It turned out to be the prince, Xie Jin thought so, couldn't help but raised his eyes and secretly looked at him again.This prince is really good-looking, not as beautiful as Xie Wen, but better-looking than Xie Wen.

He thought so firmly in his heart, although he couldn't tell the difference between beautiful and good-looking.

"It's just a child." Bei Zhao left only this sentence and left.

The next day, he was called out alone, and saw Bei Zhao again, who asked him, "What's your name?"

He didn't answer, and after a while, he heard Bei Zhao's voice that seemed to have a little smile: "Looking at your face, I can guess that although your family is not well off, it's not that you can't afford food. Why did you get sold here?"

This sentence touched him, and tears fell uncontrollably: "I... I got lost and was tricked here."

"Don't cry, butler, take him home."

"My lord..." The housekeeper was a little surprised.

Bei Zhao said with a cold face: "Send him home, don't you understand what this king is saying?"

In this way, after several twists and turns, he finally returned to Xie's mansion.Because of him, Liu Meiyan's illness became more serious.Xie Zihan came to see it once, and left in a hurry after staying for less than a stick of incense.

To this day, he has not figured out why Bei Zhao let him go.But what is certain is that Bei Zhao does not remember this incident.

Too much time has passed, and since Bei Zhao was able to let him go, he might also let others go, so Yu Beizhao is just one of them, so naturally he won't be remembered.

Even if he remembered, more than ten years later, he was already different from when he was a child, and Bei Zhao would never know him.But Bei Zhao was unique to him to a certain extent.

He dared not tell anyone about this thought, for fear of being ridiculed by others, especially Bei Zhao.Besides, he knew in his heart that even if he said it, it would be useless.

Bei Zhao has some interest in him now, but only a little interest.

The author has something to say: I began to suspect that no one is actually reading this article... It’s a lonely and lonely journey, I can only cheer for myself QAQ
