Rebirth supporting role

The door was quickly opened, but the scene in the courtyard was beyond the young man's expectations. The place that he thought would be extremely luxurious, but there was only an ancient well, an old tree, a stone table and a calm expression sitting on a rocking chair. elder.It was an old tree, and it lost all its leaves in the first autumn. Occasionally, a few leaves were hanging on the tree with difficulty, and when the wind blew, they would rustle and fall, making it extremely desolate.The old well was the same, the part that protruded from the ground was covered with green moss, and most of the stones were cracked. Looking at it, it looked like a dry well.The old man is sitting between the dry well and the old tree, gently rocking the reclining chair, very peaceful.

Such a scene is too different from the man's description, and for a moment, the boy has the illusion that this is a paradise.It's just that this illusion came and disappeared quickly. The man's body tensed up so quickly that the young man woke up from the illusion, and then quietly stepped back half a step, leaving space for Zuo Chen and the old man.

"You're back?" The old man didn't look up, but just reached out to pick up the tea bowl on the stone table, and poured tea slowly.His hands are obviously well maintained, and there are no traces of time, only the nails are a little bit chapped, showing the vicissitudes of life.He brewed the tea slowly, with incomparable detail and incomparable seriousness, as if that cheap tea was the rarest treasure in the world.

"..." Zuo Chen didn't speak, but looked at the old man with a complicated expression, his hands were shaking.Back then, when he was brought to this place, the first person he saw was this old man.And his first teacher was also this old man.However, he couldn't respect this old man after all, because he was the one who forced him to kill his brother with his own hands during his first month here!The desperation and helplessness of that year, even if you think about it today, is still shocking. After all, it is already a nightmare that he can't get out of.

"When you came here ten years ago, you weren't as big as the kid next to you, right? At that time, I said, you are the only one who can get out of that group of brats alive." The old man didn't seem to really want Zuo Chen Answering, he put down the teapot tremblingly, and slowly stood up, the shaky posture made Liu Qinghao suspect that he would fall to the ground in the next second, but he didn't.The old man moved very slowly, but there was a strange smell in it.When he stood up, he slowly moved the reclining chair, looking very difficult, and then raised his head out of breath, "Since you have gone out, why do you want to come back?"

"..." Zuo Chen still didn't speak.

"Alas..." The old man sighed after all, and shook his head slowly, "You know, once you come in, you can't get out."

"...Old man," Zuo Chen finally opened his mouth, his voice was hoarse, full of admiration but concealed hatred, "I came with the young master."

"...Young Master?" The old man noticed Liu Qinghao now, a glimmer of light flashed in his cloudy eyes, and then he smiled, "Which family's young master is this?"

His attitude towards Liu Qinghao is completely different from Zuo Chen's. The former is not only negligent, but also a kind of contempt. When facing Liu Qinghao, he is more similar and flattering.Liu Qinghao frowned almost subconsciously, he didn't like this old man.

"He is the young master of the Liu family." Zuo Chen didn't seem to have any feeling for the old man's attitude, but replied in a business-like manner.

"The Liu family?" The old man was startled suddenly, and the surprise in his eyes became more intense, "Which Liu family?"

"Could it be that there are still two Liu families?" Liu Qinghao lowered his eyes slightly, expressionless.He is no longer a child, so he naturally knows that Zuo Chen is using the situation to suppress others.Since the people here are not kind, he doesn't have the thought to think about respecting the old and loving the young.

"It's because I'm confused." The old man didn't think he was disobedient, but smiled even brighter, "I don't know why Young Master Liu came here? Could it be that he has a good product?"

"Good stuff?" For the behavior of treating people as goods, Liu Qinghao only felt nauseous for a while, and suppressed the dryness in his heart, and then he raised his head expressionlessly, "I don't have any goods here, I don't know if I can ask Are you bringing in something?"

"Purchase? Young Master Liu, you're joking." The old man was taken aback for a moment, and then let out a hoarse and sinister laugh, "We don't sell goods here."

"Oh, really?" Liu Qinghao looked at the old man with a flat tone, "But, you brought my people here, what should you do?"

"Your people?" The old man was also taken aback for a moment, and then he opened his mouth tentatively, "Even if we were given the courage to be ambitious, we wouldn't dare to touch the people of the Liu family..."

"It's not from the Liu family, it's from me." Liu Qinghao's eyes flashed with gloom. This old guy, who left the Liu family out with a single sentence, is really not a kind person. "You guys, who moved me."

"...I don't know the name of Liu Shaoyao's person? Old man, I can help you find out?" The old man was slightly startled when he heard the young man's decisive words, obviously aware of Liu Qinghao's determination on this trip. I don’t even have a name, old man, I can’t do anything…”

"Mu Zhiye, his name is Mu Zhiye." The young man glanced at Zuo Chen, but found that the man seemed a little absent-minded.

"Mu Zhiye...?" The old man was taken aback for a moment, the name was unexpectedly familiar, when he thought of the origin of the name, the old man's face changed slightly, his face turned cold, and then he smiled flatteringly, "Sorry , Young Master Liu, if this person is the case, it would be better for the old man to persuade you to give up!"

"Give up?" Liu Qinghao's straight eyebrows raised slightly, his eyes were a little cold, and he looked at the old man, "Are you... telling me to give up?"

"I'm sorry, Young Master Liu, this person is really not an old man, I'm in charge." The old man's arms were hanging on his chest, looking like he was overwhelmed, "Please, Young Master Liu, be considerate of this old man... Just give up..."

"...What if I don't give up?" Liu Qinghao also turned cold, looking at the old man coldly.

"Then, even if you risk your life, this old man has no choice but to send you, Young Master Liu, out of this yard." The old man's arms were lowered slowly, and a sharp glint flashed in his cloudy old eyes, "Young Master Liu, please make a choice." ..."

"Are you threatening me?" Liu Qinghao's eyes turned cold after all, and the corners of the eyes that were originally quite soft suddenly turned chilling, "Really?!"

"...Sorry, I offended you." The old man lowered his head, noncommittal.

"Old man... let's do it." Zuo Chen took a step forward. He naturally knew Liu Qinghao's determination, so it was his business now. What's more, even if it wasn't Liu Qinghao, he knew that he would one day stand in this position. place.From the moment he walked out, he finally knew how ridiculous he was.What he thought was freedom has become the greatest bondage, and after all, this is still a cage he can never get out of.If this place is not destroyed, then he will never be truly free!

There is a kind of battle that cannot be avoided, so fight!
