Tao Cheng had no expression on his face, so that the servants couldn't see what was going on, and they were secretly beating drums with their own thoughts.

"It seems that you all still remember," Tao Cheng said, "I suffered because of this, and I also had a falling out with that unlucky son who was avoided by everyone in the Tao family. In the past few years, just hearing his name makes me feel bad. appetite."

Tao Cheng looked at the servants calmly, "I heard a very happy thing today. During the half a month when I was lying on the bed and couldn't move, it seemed that the bad thing was trying to beg me to spare his life. Who among you stopped it?"

The servants looked at each other, Tao Cheng said again, "Retell what happened back then, I am happy to hear that, and I will reward you with an ingot of gold."

A bar of gold?The temptation was too great, the two male servants immediately bowed and took half a step forward, they looked at each other, one pouted, the other spoke first, still in a cautious tone, "Back then, we were in the backyard. ...It was about to carry it to the kitchen after chopping firewood. I was walking when I heard something. Thinking that there had never been a cat or dog in the house, I was curious and looked for the sound."

"After walking a few steps, we saw an inexplicable hole under the wall of the yard. The bricks fell into the grass, and the slag was still falling from the hole. We were quite frightened, thinking that some daring dog thief wanted Come to steal things, this is in broad daylight, it is probably fatal."

Tao Cheng raised his eyebrows with a look of great interest, "What's next?"

"Then, just, I saw an arm groping over. It was so thin, it seemed like it could be broken. Aren't we holding firewood in our arms? We immediately put it on the ground and picked up the sharpest and strongest one. Gen, one of them quietly walked to the entrance of the cave, thinking that this dog thief would make him look good once he got in!"

Tao Cheng snorted in his heart, and urged, "But when I got my head around, I found out that it was the bad luck?"

The servant hurriedly agreed, "Yes, what the young master said is exactly!"

Tao Cheng said "hmm", "Tell me more in detail, I haven't listened to the fun for a long time."

"I'm so impressed!" The two servants looked at each other again, their eyes shining brightly, as if reflecting the glowing gold, "As soon as the arms and head popped out, the poor boy was struggling to move forward, and he saw We were killed, our faces paled with fright, and we were also taken aback, more surprised than seeing a thief."

"Seeing that the situation was not good, the man backed away hastily. How could we let him succeed! We threw the firewood and squatted down to grab his hand, but he didn't cry out. We dragged him out of the cave like a dumb man. It was pressed against the wall. I asked, 'Did you dig this dog hole?' He didn't answer, he was disheveled, with gauze wrapped around his neck, he didn't know what kind of novelty it was."

Tao Cheng resisted not frowning, it was the first time he had tasted what blood was like, and he was also frightened by his reckless behavior. Tao Che scolded him for being insane, maybe he was right, and in the days and nights after that, he There is not a day when I don't think about Qingmo, but I feel depressed in my heart, and the obsession is like obsession.

That scar was also his obsession, it was wounded on Qingmo's body, and the obsession was with him, it has been buried in his flesh and blood for many years, it will hurt whether you touch it or not.

Tao Cheng sighed silently, freed himself from the memories, raised his eyes again, with the expression of listening to the anecdote, "That's it? I heard you really want him to look good?"

"No, no, after all, he is Aunt Zhou's nephew," the servant continued with a sneer, "We saw that he was sneaking around and didn't know what evil intentions he had, and he dared to knock a hole in your backyard, so he repeatedly After being forced to ask, he finally spoke up, saying that he heard that the young master was fined ten boards by the second grandma Qiao, and he was really worried that he couldn't go through the main entrance, so he had to dig a hole with a small hammer."

"The side courtyard where our servants live is surrounded by a bush and is the wall of the kitchen in the backyard. It's just bad luck that we met him. We usually rest at noon. It really gave him a chance."

Tao Cheng praised, "Thanks to your diligence, I will reward you with another ingot of gold."

This coke spoiled the two servants. After bowing and thanking them, they continued to recall their feats, "Of course we couldn't let him get in your way, so we pushed him to the ground and returned as we wanted him to come. If he acted recklessly, he would have to be punished, so we asked him to bark like a dog twice and bark while going back, otherwise we would sue Second Grandma Qiao and punish him more than ten boards."

"He hesitated for a long time and then agreed. There was no other way to think about it, but he is also a man of backbone. We urged him several times, but he refused to make a sound." Speaking of this, the servant licked his lips, somewhat Hesitating, he exchanged glances with another evil accomplice, "So the two of us..."

"That's it?" Tao Cheng chuckled, "Do you want me to reward you because you are not greedy enough?"

"No, no," the servant hurriedly shook his head and said quickly, "So the two of us picked up his legs to force him to bark like a dog. He was halfway up the climb, unable to advance or retreat, and struggled wildly. In fact, we also I was quite disgusted, afraid that if I touched him, I would get bad luck. Unfortunately, when I was about to let go, he suddenly struggled like crazy. Maybe I couldn't help punishing him in a hurry. Unlucky, I called the half-drawn brick corner on the top of the dog hole. The trousers were cut, but there was no blood, so it should be no flesh."

Tao Cheng clapped his hands together, applauded and said to the other servants, "Learn to be loyal, even after a few years, I can dig out such good deeds and reward them. Who of you has such a good time talking about it?" Listen to me?"

A maid was eager to try, but the sister next to her pulled the hem of her clothes and signaled her with her eyes, "There is something wrong with our young master". What is wrong?It is probably faintly a little yin and yang.However, the maid was blinded by the reward. She would have to work hard for a year without eating or drinking to earn a gold ingot. No matter what, it was a good deal.

Tao Cheng raised his chin to signal, "Let's talk, it's better to be happy alone than to be happy together."

The maid swallowed nervously, "Although he is Aunt Zhou's nephew, he has always lived with our mother and maid. I...it should be me...I am usually more talkative. You brought a letter, I actually thought he was pitiful, I shied away a few times and then agreed, but who knows what he wrote in the letter, in case it can't be seen..."

Tao Cheng said, "There are other things like this, what about Xin?"

"I... I didn't want to wear it on my body, so I tore it into pieces and threw it into the pig trough."

Tao Cheng lowered his eyes, blinked slowly a few times, and asked again, "Didn't he ask you after that?"

The maid said in a low voice, "I asked, and I said, 'Young master is dead, I will bring you a letter, don't bother others.'"

Time flies so fast when listening to stories.

The same is true when recalling the past, as if the wound was still bleeding yesterday, but looking at it today, it has become entangled with old scars over the years.

Tao Cheng stood in the private school and listened to the clear and melodious reading of the children for a long time before he regained his composure.

They obviously live together in Tao Mansion, but they are like thousands of mountains and thousands of miles apart. Even when Qing Mo was far away in Changzhou, the two of them could communicate two or three letters with difficulty, but Tao Mansion can be melted by a ditch. Make an abyss.

The voice of the book reappeared, "At the beginning of human beings, nature is kind."

Tao Cheng held the book on his face, his mother was gentle and kind to his servants, but Dudu hated Qing Mo to the bone, what was the reason for her good nature to become evil.
