Make a long-term worker as an old attack

When Xue Gan ran to Xue Zhaoqing's yard in a panic, several servants were busy supporting Xue Zhaoqing to sit on the chair in the wing room, one brought tea, another brought snacks, and the other brought the laundry. Xue Zhaoqing wiped his face with a clean towel, but the snow-white towel was covered with black ash after just a few wipes.

Xue Zhaoqing sat on the chair without moving, like a lifeless puppet being played by these boys.When he saw Xue Qian anxiously stepping into the door of his wing, he suddenly seemed to have returned to his body, plopped and knelt down at Xue Gan's feet.

"Father...!" With just one sound, he whimpered in a low voice, as if a little beast that had been mistreated in every possible way finally saw its master.Xue Qian looked at his son who was wearing patched and tattered clothes in front of him. His hair, which had never been neatly bundled up, was in a mess at the moment, and there were some dead grass and rotten branches in between. There are black and gray dirt marks, and there are still small cracks on the lips.How has he seen Zhaoqing like this in the past ten years? !Xue Gan's eyes were red and his heart felt sore, he hugged Xue Zhaoqing.

"Dad...Dad...!" Xue Zhaoqing wailed twice, squeezing tears out of her eyes.

"Zhaoqing, what's wrong with you?!"

"Son, walking all the way to Baishui County,... who knew that the bandits nearby had already targeted us. Before we even arrived at the county seat, they...snatched us all!"

Xue Qian was terrified, Xue Zhaoqing hadn't returned home for a long time, although he was a little anxious, but he only thought about whether there was an accident on the road and he was delayed, but he didn't know that it was a bandit.

"what on earth is it?"

Xue Gan was anxious, but after Xue Zhaoqing finished saying that, it seemed as if his whole body was exhausted, and he just fell on the ground and cried bitterly, unable to say another word.

"Master, the young master must have been frightened too much, and you have suffered a lot outside the past few days, so don't be in a hurry, let the young master tidy up first, and eat something before we talk."

Seeing his son like this, Xue Gan knew what Xue Fu said was right, so he ordered the young servant girl to fetch water for the young master to take a bath, comb his hair, and then fed Xue Zhaoqing mouthful after drinking a bowl of salty porridge. Xue Zhaoqing was as pale as paper. His face turned a little red.

"Father, my son is not filial...and failed to protect Caixing..." Xue Zhaoqing said with tears in his eyes, and when Caixing's name was mentioned, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

"You are lucky to be able to come back, Qing'er, why did you get targeted by that bandit?"

"I was going out of the city with Caixing. The driver who rented a car said that the official road was a detour, so he took us along a small road in the woods. When we were about to go outside Baishui County, the driver said he wanted it to be convenient, so we waited in the car. , who knew that instead of the coachman, the bandits on the mountain would come. They arrested us, robbed Caixing of the home gift they brought home, and... they even robbed Caixing to be Mrs. Yazhai... ...!" Saying that, Xue Zhaoqing picked up his sleeves and buried his face in his arms.His shoulders shrugged from time to time, Xue Gan looked distressed and patted his son on the shoulder from time to time.

Xue Zhaoqing calmed down a little, he took a deep breath, raised his red eyes from crying, and continued to speak choked with sobs: "Cai Xing would rather die than follow, he slammed his head on the stone in the bandit's den, the group of The bandits thought she was unlucky, so they threw her body directly into the ravine... They robbed me of my clothes and money, and locked me in the woodshed. Mountain. There was no coachman to lead the way, so I could only walk home based on memory, begging for some from the farms along the way if I had nothing to eat, and drinking some river water when I was thirsty... This is the way I came back with my life.”

After finishing speaking, the corners of his mouth murmured again.

"Father..., although my son came back after saving his life, Caixing, Caixing, she...!" After speaking, tears flowed out again.

"The family is unlucky, the family is unlucky!" Xue Qian thumped Xue Zhaoqing's bed with a heartache: "The bandits in Baishui County are too arrogant and unrestrained, they rob people in broad daylight, and even the driver who rented a car , it is clearly a gang! This matter must not be left alone! This old man is going to sue the county town, and go to the provincial capital! I have to give my Xue family justice!"

Xue Zhaoqing was startled, if this matter really got serious, his plan would not work out, so he could only cry and hold Xue Gan by the hem of his clothes, and said, "Father, I asked the people along the way, It’s not that the county magistrate of Baishui County didn’t order the bandits to be besieged and suppressed, even the provincial capital also came to besieged and suppressed them, but the gang used the terrain in the mountains as a cover for themselves. A yamen servant should catch up quickly. They are also having a headache in that area now."

"Then the crimes you have suffered are going to be forgotten?!"

"Nearby villagers also said that many refugees who can't survive now have gone to the mountains and fallen grass. The number of bandits in the mountains is increasing day by day. If it goes on for a long time, the government will not be able to destroy them. Although my son has committed a crime, but At least he came back alive, it's just that Caixing...not to mention the tragic death on the mountain, even his son couldn't bring back a corpse...!" After finishing speaking, there was another burst of crying.

"The world is going down, people's hearts are not old!!! God, how do we ordinary people live?!" Xue Gan looked up to the sky and sighed.

Seeing that her father seemed to be loose, Xue Zhaoqing went on to say: "Caixing has died tragically. What my son can do for her now is to give her a memorial tablet. Even if he can only set up a tomb for her, he also wants her to be able to live a hundred years after her death." Receive the incense of the Xue family."

"She is already your married wife. Although she failed to leave a son and a half daughter for Xue's family, the sect who joined Xue's family is a member of Xue's family, and receiving incense from Xue's family is indispensable."

"The son thanked the father."

"Hey..." Xue Qian looked at Xue Zhaoqing who was pale and limp on the bed with tears all over his face. Although his heart ached, there was always a feeling of hatred for iron that could not be made of steel.Putting this strange feeling aside for a moment, Xue Gan told the girl who took care of Xue Zhaoqing a few words, then left Xue Zhaoqing in the room by himself, took Xue Fu out of the wing.

Seeing Xue Gan leave, Xue Zhaoqing in the room let out a long breath, and his heart, which was jumping up and down in the first moment, finally calmed down now.After instructing the servants in the house to go out, he dared to show a little smile.This journey went very smoothly, and everything went according to his own calculations, but why hasn't Niu Geng come to see him after he has been back for so long?It must be because he couldn't come into the front yard by himself without a pass from the master.Xue Zhaoqing hugged the quilt on the bed and thought, sleep for a while, and go to see that silly cow when he wakes up.

"Go and find out the details of the car rental company, and find someone to find out who the gangsters in Baishui County are, and, more importantly, see if these bandits are really as vicious as Zhao Qing said, I Xue Gan I am also a person whose body is half buried in the ground, and my son and daughter-in-law are tortured like this, but I am as shy as a tortoise, how can I stay in Sanyuan County in the future?!" Instructing Xue Fu all the way, Xue Gan walked away with his hands behind his back Quickly, Xue Fu agreed and went to work, leaving Xue Qian alone to push the door of the study, only to see Xue Tian standing inside, holding a bowl of wolfberry ginseng tea in his hand.

"Why are you here?" Xue Gan looked unkind, and without looking at her, he just sat down on the chair with his hands up.

"I know the master is very hot right now, let's take a look." He said, and gently put the tea on the soft cushion on the desk.

"Why don't you go see Zhaoqing?" Xue Gan asked with his eyes closed, as if he was resting.

"I just went there. I saw the old man in the house, so I didn't go in. I thought that the old man might be bored, so I went to the study to prepare a cup of wolfberry ginseng tea, and set the fire on the old man. Zhao Qing, I thought about waiting He rested for a while and then went to see him. The boy was exhausted after suffering all this outside."

"Huh? It seems that you already know the reason of the incident?" Xue Qian raised his eyebrows slightly, and half-opened his eyes to look at Xue Tian.

Xue Tian hurriedly said: "I just listened to the nonsense of the girls below. Don't be angry, the master, I will immediately ask them to keep their mouths tight."

"You can control your mouth, but you can't control your heart!" Xue Gan sighed heavily.

"Since Zhaoqing came back from Xi'an Mansion, why have so many things happened! First the old lady left, then the pair of mother and son, and then Qing'er, did my Xue family commit something that offended the ancestors? ? Why are these times so bad?!"

"Master, don't think so. Although Zhaoqing has lost his wife, fortunately, he is fine, and he will marry another one in a few days. As for the Zhang family, it will be enough to pay some money to his in-laws."

"Hey! It's the same now, but..."

Xue Tian saw that Xue Qian seemed to be unhappy in his heart, but he didn't want to vomit, so he took two steps lightly, came behind Xue Gan, and gently pinched his neck.

This move was tried and tested, Xue Gan slowly relaxed his body, and continued: "This kid Zhaoqing suffers, and my heart hurts. But there is always a bit of anger in my heart that I want to vent to him! He is already a man in his 20s. Besides, after studying for so many years, to be so frightened when something happens, to cry like that with your head in the wing room, regardless of the girls and servants around you, it's not like what a man should do. "

"Zhaoqing has only been studying for these years, and has not experienced much other things. To put it bluntly, he is still a child. He is scared out of his nerve when encountering such things. How can you compare him with when you were young? ?”

"When I was his age, our parents had long since passed away, and there was only an old lady by our side. At that time, when tenants made trouble, a group of people surrounded Xue Fu and me for three days and three nights. I was never afraid. Why... huh? !"

"Can tenants be the same as bandits, sir? Bandits really want to kill people."

Xue Qian snorted softly, and did not continue to take Xue Tian's words, but said to himself: "If this child's courage can't be changed, and if he really encounters bullying tenants who can't handle him in the future, then what should he do? .”

"Master, take your time, don't worry."

"Hey, I'm afraid I'm afraid to follow the old saying, you are a scholar who is useless!"

Xue Tian rubbed Xue Gan's arm, a sly smile flashed from the corner of his mouth, he continued to exert strength with his hands, and didn't speak any more, only silently thinking about her side in his heart.
