Obligations of the elderly

Gong Si is a somewhat "shaky" person.

In other words, it is a thorn.

Those people outside monitored their home, and he simply blatantly opposed monitoring the other party.

The specific manifestation is that when he is at home now, he stares at anytime and anywhere, his whole body is tense, and he stares wherever he is suspected of being "surveilled".

The other brothers are alright, Aji is just at the time when he is learning from the adults, watching the elder brother stare every day, he is watching, watching...

Actually also initially practiced a pair of small chopper eyes? !

This was discovered in winter and spring.

"Big brother and second brother, hurry up and take a look! Aji's eyes have turned into kitchen knives! Look at you! Does it look like big brother?!" When he first discovered it, Dongchun called everyone coming.

Looking at Aji who was staring at the front with a pair of kitchen knives on the crawling mat, Gongsi was speechless, and Qiuxia laughed "puchi".

Dongchun was already rolling on the ground laughing at this time, seeing the two younger brothers doing this, Gong Si couldn't hold back and laughed too.

This was the first time laughter came from this room after realizing the situation at home.

Not knowing what he did, Aji just continued to stare fiercely at everyone, and he tried his best to raise his eyebrows as high as a palace, but unfortunately his current expression muscles are not yet developed, so he can't pick them no matter what When he got up, even the chopper's eyes could only last for a while, and it didn't take long before they turned back into big round eyes.

Seeing Aji lying on the ground panting and looking very tired, Gong Si held him in his arms and raised him high: "Don't learn from me, I was born like this, it's fine if you don't Ah~"

"I think this is not bad. I look more like Dongchun. Aji looked like no one at first, but now he looks a bit like Big Brother." After laughing, Qiuxia concluded.

He is also under a lot of pressure these days, but unlike Gong Si's source of pressure, his sense of pressure comes more from himself.

He blamed himself, blamed himself for being weak.

Although the potential is huge, but he came to that world too late, and he just started to understand...

"Second Brother, the energy around him feels so fierce recently, I dare not approach him." Although he still looks gentle and gentle every day, Dongchun, who is also awakened, has already discovered his abnormality and made a complete report to big brother.

Seeing the rare relaxation of the younger brothers, Gong Si also heaved a sigh of relief, but——

Blame those guys!

Remembering that I haven't done my daily "homework" recently, holding Aji, Gongsi walked out of the window on the second floor, which is also the place where he "anti-monitors" the other party every day. To put it simply, he sent the eye knife outside place.

Standing condescendingly on the second floor, Gongsi habitually looked out of the wall viciously. He originally thought he would see those annoying men in black, but who knew——

No!

There is no one in black who squatted outside every day before, and the outside of his house looks as empty as before! ?

Gong Si was stunned.

Too surprised, he ran directly downstairs, threw Aji into Qiuxia's arms, then ran out of the house by himself, and pushed open the door outside.

He rushed out into the street and touched the cold stream outside.

No!No!never!

Until now, there is still no man in black who came out to intercept him? !

There was a surge of joy in his heart, but more of it was the panic caused by ignorance, not daring to be too far away from his brothers, and soon he ran back home and locked the door heavily.

Something must have happened - Gong Si said to himself.

Leaning his back on the iron gate of his own house, Gong Si frowned, then narrowed his slender eyes slightly, his dark eyes showing a hint of indifference, he turned around and opened the gate again.

Opening the door to the limit as usual, and blocking it with the door stopper, Gong Si stared coldly at the road outside the door, turned around and walked towards the room again.

"Brother, don't you lock the door?" Under the eaves, he ran into Qiuxia who was holding Aji.

Shaking his head, Gong Si said to him: "It's unlocked."

"Locking the door is useless, I suddenly figured it out."

Glancing at the elder brother who suddenly became darker, Qiu Xia nodded, his slender eyes like Gongsi looked indifferently at the long and thin path outside the house, turned his head, and he carried Aji into the house.

The big head, which hadn't appeared for several days, suddenly came out with a fish, and the brothers shared the fish with him while they were watching the evening news. The doorbell outside their house suddenly rang.

Not regular customers, regular customers who never ring the doorbell.

Here we come——Thinking in my heart, Gong Si signaled Qiu Xia to turn off the TV to watch Aji and Dong Chun, and then went outside to greet the "guests".

Yes, guest.

The "guest" he had been waiting for all day arrived with Ye Xue.

***

It was only after going out of the palace that the heavy snow that had stopped for several days was falling again.

It was already dark outside, only the ground, the roof and other places covered by snow were still slightly lit. Because Lengshui Town is sparsely populated, the upper half of the night vision range is dark, but the lower half is bright A little strange situation.

"Guests" come rolling in the snow.

There were three of them, and the leader was obviously the short man in the center. Like the previous ones, they were also dressed in black, but they felt completely different.

Hmm... Maybe it's because she's wearing too thin?

And... kind of retro?

Standing at the door, Gong Si frowned and pondered secretly.

Yes, compared to the previous "visitors" who wore all kinds of modern black suits, the people who came this time were obviously old-fashioned and sophisticated. The suits they wore were styles that Gongsi didn't know, and he didn't understand them either. But I always feel that this is only in old TV series, ah~ it is still in the kind of noble TV series.

They also wear top hats.

It is not the winter hat or snow hat that should be worn in this kind of place and weather, but the kind of thin top hat that has no other function except for decoration.

Seeing him, the short man in the lead took off his top hat and saluted him.

When he raised his head again, with the help of the faint yellow light of his own door lamp, he finally saw the appearance of this visitor——

is an old man.

His hair is all gray, combed back meticulously, he has no beard, he must be very old, his face is full of deep wrinkles, his eyelids are drooping on the lower eyelids, Gong Si can't see the other party's eyes at all.

"Hello, I have kept you waiting for a long time. In order to choose a suitable gift, I have delayed a little time." The man's voice was also very old, but his words were clear.

Obviously everyone said the same thing, but Gong Si insisted that the way the other party spoke... um...how should I put it?

grace?Extravagance?

He couldn't understand it, but it didn't sound like an ordinary person's accent.

After the man finished speaking, he pointed to the left with a hand wearing a white glove, and another man in black standing in that direction picked up something in time.

A toy box.

"This is a gift for Mr. Gong Siji." The man said.

Then he waved his other hand to his right back, and the person over there picked up another pile of things: a total of three cardboard boxes, big and small, vaguely recognizable as stationery, books... um... The last one is a football?

"This is for the other three Mr. Gong."

Gong Si thought to himself: Sure enough, he also knows us very well.

However, unlike others, he knew more about the brothers of the Gong family other than Gong Siji.

"It's really cold here. Although I've checked it in advance, after I arrived, I found it's still much colder than I imagined." The man said, raising his head and "looking" at the palace with blurred eyes: "Mr. Gong Si, don't you invite us in for a cup of hot tea? I heard that the cold spring water in Lengshui Town is very delicious for making tea."

"We brought our own good tea." He said, never knowing where he took out a small tea pot and held it in the palm of his hand.

After looking at each other's eyes... for three seconds, Gong Si moved out of the way: "Follow me."

After finishing speaking, Gong Si walked straight to the house without looking back.

When entering the house, Qiuxia had already rearranged the living room, and all the messy little clothes and toys that belonged to Aji on the sofa were emptied; two dining chairs that were originally placed in the kitchen were dragged out and put in Opposite the sofa; there's also a rug between the two... well, a crawling mat.The Gong family is not a particular family, and the palace is frugal, and Qiu Xia is already a very ingenious person who can arrange the living room into a place where you can talk about things in a short period of time.

He even prepared hot water → there is no tea in the Gong family.

Counting the number of guests with sharp eyes, he found that there were not enough chairs, so Dongchun hurriedly moved another chair out of the kitchen.

"Thank you." The old man thanked him. He sat down first, and the two people behind put the gift between the sofa and the chair before sitting down.

The Gong family brothers sat on the sofa opposite them at the same time, with Gong Si in the middle, Qiu Xia and Dong Chun on both sides of him, and Aji was held in his arms.

At this time, Aji was staring fiercely at the opposite side with a kitchen knife.

"This is Mr. Gong Siji, right? He is very healthy." The other party looked at Aji and said a strange compliment for a while.

Well, healthy is a nice word.

"Please taste the tea we brought." The other party said, a follower stood up and took the tea pot and added tea to everyone's water cups. The water cups in everyone's hands became teacups, soaked in the fragrance of tea, Gongsi knew that the drama was coming.

Sure enough, the man spoke again——

"I came here on behalf of my employer to negotiate a contract with Mr. Gong Siji."

He directly stated his purpose.

"What about the others? They all handed in their bids... No, I have resumes, and they put pressure on me to choose someone every day. I can't choose for a long time and suddenly tell them that we chose you who came here suddenly, right?" Tentatively , Gong Si said so.

Holding the teacup in his withered hands, the creases at the corners of the man's mouth slowly deepened: "You are a smart child, please forgive me for calling you that, but in terms of age, you are indeed still young."

"You should have already guessed what happened, and this opened the door that had been closed for many days, didn't you?"

"Yes, it made us send the others away."

Sure enough—Gong Si thought in his heart, but even though he guessed right, his heart sank even more.

Saying "please" to leave must be just polite, those people must have been "cleaned up" by these people, using power, violence, or financial resources.

The power behind these three people in front of them must be stronger than the power behind everyone who was squatting here before, in order to drive them all away.

This means that-

They no longer have the right to refuse.

No matter who the other party wants to make a contract with Aji, even if that person is weak or a big villain, they have no right to refuse.

After thinking about this, Gong Si's heart sank instantly.

In a way, the best and the worst happened at the same time.

The good thing is that the other party is definitely the most powerful in the past few days, and the bad thing is that they don't know the details of the other party at all. Whether Aji's future is bright or not depends entirely on what kind of person the other party is...

With his thin lips pursed into a straight line, Gong Si stared at the other party, suppressing all his emotions, and asked the other party in as calm a voice as possible: "Can you talk to me, do you want to talk to Aji?" What kind of person is the person who signed the contract?"

The old man holding the tea deepened the creases at the corners of his mouth again: "The person who wants to make a contract with Mr. Gong Siji is none other than my employer himself. He was awakened at birth, and my master is the one with the highest initial potential value of the ruler. Man, believe me, it doesn't matter if those people before, or even more people come over, in terms of ability, my master is definitely the person who best matches Mr. Gong Siji in terms of ability value."

"So powerful?" The legendary ruler!Did it come to your door like this?Or a man born to rule?

Gong Si raised an eyebrow.

Qiu Xia frowned slightly, and asked the other party beside the palace: "Forgive me, as far as I know, there has been no news of a ruler appearing in the past 70 years. May I ask your employer... is it an unrecorded ruler?" ?still……"

He always felt that things could not be so good.

Hearing this, Gong Si was also taken aback, the two brothers looked at each other at the same time, and at the same time, there was Aji's big eyes that had accidentally changed from a kitchen knife to a full moon again.

Looking at the vaguely similar faces of the brothers, the old man paused and said, "Mr. Qiu Xia's understanding is not wrong."

Gong Si and Qiu Xia's hearts sank.

Then the other party continued: "My employer is the ruler who awakened 70 years ago."

It's over!It's an old man!

Just when the hearts of the two brothers were sinking at the same time, the folds of the old man on the opposite side who had been deepening upwards and deepened suddenly eased and slowly drooped down. The originally kind face suddenly became serious and even a little sad because of this expression...

even sad.

They heard each other talking slowly:

"He is the ruler with the highest ability value when awakened in history. Due to his innate ability is too strong, his body can't bear this much energy. We have been working hard to find a suitable weapon for him, sir... employer My lord, it's not like he didn't try the utensils we found halfway, but they all failed. Those trash... those utensils couldn't hold the master's energy. "

Although his voice was slow and without ups and downs, there was a gloomy hostility in it, which made people nervous involuntarily.

"The employer has run out of time. The appearance of Mr. Gong Siji at this time is really timely. We really hope that he is the predestined weapon of the master."

Finally, after hearing these words, the hearts of Gong Si and Qiu Xia fell to the bottom!
