Pick up an abandoned child and overwhelm the world

Silently looked at the young man who continued to eat watermelon. After a long time, Cheng Ning nodded and replied seriously: "Okay, I understand. From now on... I won't do such a thing to make you worry!"

Wen Jing shook his head, didn't say much, or didn't want to continue to entangle on this issue, and chatted with Cheng Ning about his childhood without any incident, Cheng Ning looked at him with a smile, which was helpful to this young man. After learning more, their family lives in a small town far away from Zhusui City, which seems to be close to the south. It is said that it is relatively prosperous near the mountains and rivers. The whole family has been farming for a living. With plenty of food and clothing, they lived a stable life, until the fire of war in the Chinese New Year spread to that small town...

"Sorry..." Cheng Ning said in a low voice. Apart from this sentence, he couldn't find anything else to say to Wen Jing.

"It's not your fault, my lord, why do you have to apologize?" Wen Jing said with a puzzled smile, and began to pack up the watermelon rinds that the two of them had eaten, and said without hesitation: "Aren't we ordinary people just those powerful people?" Are the playthings of the nobles the same? They like to make troubles like this, so they can do whatever they want, but in fact, for us common people, it doesn’t matter who sits in the world, we just want to have enough food and clothing, and good weather is enough. Who is the emperor? It has nothing to do with us!"

"..." Cheng Ning looked at Wen Jing, he couldn't hold his head up in front of Wen Jing at this moment, and was about to speak...

Suddenly, a sound of footsteps came from the direction of the gate of the courtyard, both Cheng Ning and Wen Jing were taken aback for a moment, before Cheng Ning could see clearly, Wen Jing immediately stood up, and bowed respectfully to the visitor: "Wen Jing sees Young Master Cheng!"

Mu Jingan was dressed in a light-colored robe, and his long hair was tied loosely. It looked as if he had just finished taking a bath and came here for a walk.

"Go and rest, I'll take a break with your young master!" Mu Jingan waved his hand and said, he was quite satisfied with Wen Jing's cleverness, and this was also his personal closeness to Wen Jing as Cheng Ning after observing for a few days Finally, there is no opinion on this servant!

Naturally, Wen Jing had already started to pack his things, and left "Qingfengyuan" immediately after packing, saying that he was going to prepare the soup for tomorrow morning and go to the kitchen.

"He's quite clever, not bad!" Seeing Wen Jing disappear at the gate of the garden, Mu Jingan, who was sitting where Wen Jing sat just now, nodded and said with satisfaction, while Cheng Ning beside him didn't say much, just With a faint "hmm", Mu Jingan turned his head to look at his little apprentice, who lowered his head, looking listless, Mu Jingan could tell what he was thinking at a glance, the handsome look on his face The smile also disappeared, looking up at the sky full of stars, Mu Jingan said, "Is it my fault?"

Slightly startled, Cheng Ning was silent for a while, then replied in a low voice: "Don't dare..."

"Isn't it reconciled!" Mu Jingan took Cheng Ning's words, and seeing Cheng Ning finally looked up at him, Mu Jingan showed a bitter smile: "You think I've known you since you were young?" ? Do you think I don’t know your every move and every word and deed these years? Don’t forget, Yuxuan is my senior brother, and I am his senior brother. Although I left the teacher’s school early, he is very unkind But for my senior brother, he will not ignore me, and everything about you..." Mu Jingan looked at Cheng Ning sideways with his chin propped on one hand and said with a smile: "I know everything!"

Cheng Ning was not surprised by this. After coming here, he could gradually see that Mu Jingan knew him very well from some small details about him.

"So..." Mu Jinqian's smile gradually disappeared, and he stared deeply at Cheng Ning: "I have to control you, I have to be very strict with you, because... if something happens to you, my junior brother will definitely not forgive me, So, hehe... What can I do? I can only admit it, who made you the person Yuxuan cares about? Ziqian, maybe you don't know it, but in fact... Yuxuan entrusted you to me, It wasn't the day he passed away, but... a long, long time ago, so long... the day Yu Xuan was ordered to be your master, it started!"

"!" Cheng Ning looked at Mu Jingan, and his shock was self-evident, because it represented a thought he dared not admit...

"That's right, Yuxuan had predicted his own end a long time ago, maybe..." Mu Jingan turned his head away from Cheng Ning's sight, looked at the stars all over the sky, and said in a low voice after a long time: "He probably did it for Let's live with such an ending, so, you may not know that for a long time, I have not liked you very much, and even hated you, hated your birth, hated Yuxuan because of you. Become another person, hate him for you, even ignore my words, even the answer I gave... all became his last words, that idiot... Don't you think it's too late? I waited for him That sentence, I waited for many years, and finally told me, didn’t this block the way for me to die?”

Cheng Ning looked at Mu Jingan's side face. At this moment, he only felt a strong sadness, so sad that he couldn't help but wanted to cry.

"So your master, it's really...too much!" Mu Jingan was silent for a long time, then turned his head to Cheng Ning with a joke and said with a smile: "Right!"

Startled, Cheng Ning also laughed, and nodded: "Yeah, it's too much..."

Too much selfishness, too much emphasis on certain responsibilities, too much disregard of certain attainable results, too much... too much just leave the two people who are sitting side by side looking at the stars at this moment, just like that Passed away.

The two masters and apprentices haven't sat together and chatted quietly for a long time. That night, the two chatted for a long time. Finally, before Mu Jingan was about to leave, he looked at the seemingly frail but deep-rooted man beside him. But he was a stubborn young man who refused to admit defeat at all. After hesitating for a long time, Mu Jingan finally said: "I knew about this matter of the Liu family a long time ago, but I believe you understand now the reason why I didn't care about it. I can't control it, because too much involvement will kill more people, even if there is one more you, I can't save anyone, I believe you understand now!"

Nodding silently, Cheng Ning has thought a lot since he was pulled back by Mu Jinqian during the day, but the more he thought about it, Cheng Ning also found that he was too hasty during the day, and he was glad that the master stopped him in time Himself, otherwise, Cheng Ning felt that things would be more complicated now, and it would be even more difficult to get over it!

"But..." Cheng Ning wrung his hands together, and said in a low voice, "I'm not reconciled, how can I be reconciled? If you want me to watch others being bullied, I know the truth but can't do anything about it. You let me ...How can you be willing?"

Mu Jingan looked at Cheng Ning's complicated eyebrows, and said after a long time: "Actually...the matter of the Liu family is not completely helpless, but...this method is tantamount to no solution!"

"What method?" Cheng Ning regained his energy as soon as he heard it, and looked at Mu Jingan with his clear eyes shining like the brightest formation in the night sky, and asked eagerly: "What method? Master? How do you tell me?"

"Find Mrs. Liu's bones and rebury them in a rich place. Although it is very likely that they will not be able to find such a treasured place of geomantic omen, at least they can get their family out of the current predicament. But the key is..." Mu Jinqian Turning his head to look at Cheng Ning, the expression on the latter's face gradually turned into ice, and Mu Jinqian smiled wryly: "Mrs. Liu's body has been gone for more than a year, and it has been gone for a long time, so this method is equivalent to Is there no way?"

Cheng Ning finally fell silent, and the last glimmer of hope in his heart was completely shattered.

Give up?

Can you not give up?

If you don't give up, you can only face the family of the city lord who is almost king here, that mountain that Mu Jinqian can't climb, and Cheng Ning can't even climb it, how can we overthrow it?

"It's getting late, let's go to bed early!" Mu Jingan said and stood up, seeing Cheng Ning's downcast look, sighed and stopped talking, leaving him to sit quietly and leave.

……

There was nothing to say all night, but after Cheng Ning got up the next day, he packed up his things and took Wen Jing to find Mu Jingan. The latter was a little surprised when he learned where Cheng Ning was going, but he looked at Cheng Ning firmly. Mu Jinqian agreed, and told Wen Jing to go to the cashier to get the money and take it with him. Finally, he told Wen Jing to take good care of Cheng Ning, and then he let them go out together with peace of mind.

It was another sunny day, and Wen Jing, who had just learned how to drive a carriage, carefully set up the carriage for the first time, and took Cheng Ning out together. Fortunately, the place they were going to was not a bustling place with many people, but a secluded place However, when Wen Jing arrives safe and sound with the smallest one-horse carriage in the Mu Mansion, Wen Jing is still sweating nervously!

"Thank you for your hard work!" Cheng Ning came out of the carriage and saw Wen Jing patting his chest to wipe the sweat and heaved a sigh of relief. He said with a smile, stretched out his hand to rub his hair and said, "Don't worry, take your time." , you've only been here soon, don't force yourself!"

It's only been a few days, but I have learned a lot.

Moreover, Cheng Ning heard noises coming from his room several times in the middle of the night. At first Cheng Ning thought it was a thief or something, and hurriedly got up in the dark to see him, but when he took a closer look, he found that the oil lamp was still on in his room. And he was studying hard under the oil lamp, trying hard to memorize all kinds of things he thought he had to remember from the servants during the day...

Cheng Ning, the master, knows better than anyone how much effort this young man has made behind his back in order to be his personal servant, but he didn't stop him from making any decisions, just like Wen Jing's support for him , he also wholeheartedly supports all of Wen Jing's decisions, but... feels sorry for him.

"No, it's not enough at all!" Wen Jing looked at Cheng Ning seriously and said, "I have to work harder, so that I can help you earlier and be qualified to continue standing by your side!"

"..." wanted to say something, but Cheng Ning felt that saying anything was superfluous at the moment, so he reached out and patted his shoulder gratefully and said, "Let's go!"

"Yes, son!" Wen Jing said respectfully, even his tone, demeanor and demeanor were gradually approaching Mu Mujingan's servants.

Cheng Ning looked at Wen Jing suddenly a little confused. Is it right or wrong to kill the innocence that other children of his age have?

……

The place Cheng Ning and Wen Jing came to was no other place, it was the place where the Liu family moved after their downfall.

A small courtyard house with less than ten rooms, but there are nearly twenty people from their big family, including the hall, dining room, kitchen, hut, etc. The place where they can live is only More limited, one can imagine how crowded it is!

After knocking on the door, it happened to be Mr. Liu who opened the door for Cheng Ning and the two of them. When he saw the two standing outside the door, Mr. Liu was very surprised. ……How did you come?"

Mr. Liu, who was dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, seemed to be even more haggard. Cheng Ning was almost worried that he would not be able to hold on anytime soon?

"I've met Mr. Liu!" Wen Jing, who understood these etiquettes well, saw his young master was in a daze, and hurried out to save the situation, and handed over the big and small bags Cheng Ning bought on the way, and said seriously: "This is a little thought from our young master. I hope Mr. Liu will not dislike him!" After speaking, Wen Jing saluted Mr. Liu politely: "Please forgive me!"

"Ah, this... thank you, thank you..." Mr. Liu was obviously a little surprised by this, but he still hurriedly reached out to catch it, and turned sideways to the master and servant and said, "Please come in and sit down!"

"Then let's...excuse me..." Cheng Ning bowed to regret his gaffe, and said unnaturally, and brought Wen Jing and Mr. Liu into Liu's house again.

It was clearly a sunny day, but Cheng Ning didn't know what was going on. Every time he came to their house, he always felt that their house was a little cold. There are too many, the land is too small, there are many patients, and there is always bad luck, so... there is something wrong with Feng Shui, not to mention that there is still a mourning hall now?

The last time Cheng Ning went in and out of their house, he helped them find out about Mrs. Liu, and made everyone in their family very grateful to him. It's very surprising, I didn't expect him to be in this position at all, and he didn't dislike coming to their place at all?

As the saying goes, "a tiger falls in Pingyang and is bullied by dogs, and a dragon swims in shallow water and is attacked by shrimps". When the Liu family was prosperous, they lived in the mansion of the city lord. It started to decline and began to come and go, and there were fewer and fewer people coming and going, and even those people who had been fawning on the road met on the road, and they didn't even know how to say hello, so they just pretended not to see them. Since then, the place has become even more deserted, and no one cares about it. This time, Patriarch Liu's death is already the second day of mourning, and no one comes here except for the neighbors next to him.
