homecoming

When Feng Chenying woke up, she forgot everything.Smacking his lips and rubbing his stomach, he looked at Tang Fei expectantly and said he was hungry.

Tang Fei, who stayed by his bed all night, looked at Feng Chenying, suddenly smiled, patted his head and said, "Okay, but we won't eat at home today, let's go out to eat." Maybe such an innocent and innocent Feng Chenying, Is it the best?Whether for him or for himself.

"Go out to eat?" Feng Chenying tilted her head and scratched her head, and asked, "Is the food outside better than Feier's?"

Tang Fei nodded and said, "It's a hundred times more delicious." As soon as she finished speaking, Feng Chenying happily jumped out of bed and put on her shoes.Tang Fei shook his head and laughed. Although he used to often start a business at home, he usually took some ready-made meals from restaurants and packed them home, and ate them as soon as they were hot.After Erbaiwu came, he began to really learn how to cook at home, but his cooking skills were not very good, and as time passed, he went to restaurants to get ready-made food, and Erbaiwu's appetite improved a lot.However, after Feng Chenying came, she often said that the food he cooked was delicious, but she didn't know if it was true or not.

Originally, he wanted to keep Erbaiwu at home, but as soon as he tied it up, Erbaiwu kept protesting.Feng Chenying also didn't want to leave Erbaiwu at home alone, and forced Tang Fei to take Erbaiwu out together.

Tang Fei had no choice but to bring two hundred and five. During the period, he gave them a serious warning not to fight, not to mess around, and not to run amok, and could only stay by his side obediently.After getting the unreliable promise of one person and one dog, Tang Fei reluctantly led them to the street.

Along the way, the extremely conspicuous Feng Chenying attracted everyone's attention. It was strange that he had white hair at a young age and at the same time was amazed by his appearance—Feng Chenying was really too beautiful. They were so beautiful in front of the street. It's been many years, and it's the first time I've seen such a good-looking person.Feng Chenying held Tang Fei's right hand tightly, and Feng Chenying also held two hundred and five.

Stared at by those amazed and astonished eyes, Feng Chenying didn't feel anything, just looked around excitedly, and when she saw something novel, she yelled "Fei'er, take a look", which attracted countless people to explore and look sideways.Tang Fei felt a little uncomfortable. He knew that Feng Chenying was good-looking. If she hadn't been tall and burly, she would have been mistaken for a woman.But being scrutinized by so many people will eventually make you feel bored.

"Boss Tang, this is—" A neighbor who was familiar with him bravely stepped forward and asked Tang Fei with a smile, but his eyes were still glued to Feng Chenying.

Tang Fei blocked Feng Chenying behind him indiscriminately, and said indifferently: "My cousin from afar, came to join me."

"Oh! So it's Boss Tang's cousin!" The neighbor suddenly realized, and said, "It's been three years, and this is the first time I've heard that Boss Tang has relatives!"

Tang Fei nodded, and after a few perfunctory words, he dragged Feng Chenying towards the restaurant.And Feng Chenying has long been impatient, that person has been talking to his Feier, if Feier hadn't pulled him to walk fast, he would have knocked out that person's teeth with a punch!

Fortunately, although many people deliberately chatted with Tang Fei along the way to ask about Feng Chenying's affairs, Tang Fei pretended not to hear and dragged Feng Chenying all the way to the restaurant.

"Brother Tang!" Zi Jun, who greeted the guests, saw Tang Fei who was obviously out of breath, and hurried out to greet him. His face was full of joy and he was extremely enthusiastic about Tang Fei. Tang Fei hadn't been to the restaurant for almost a month!

Tang Fei nodded at Zijun, and secretly winked at Feng Chenying who wanted to push Zijun away—if you dare to be rough, get out of here!

Feng Chenying pursed her lips and reluctantly followed Tang Fei into the restaurant.Although it was not time for dinner, it was hard to find a seat in the restaurant, and many people came early to take up a seat.Seeing Tang Fei come in, everyone greeted him, and then looked at Feng Chenying who was eye-catching.

"Brother Tang, who is this? Why is his hair all white?" Zi Jun looked at Feng Chenying curiously and asked.

"What nonsense, he is my distant cousin, Tang—Wubai. He came to join me when something happened at home. It's just that he has a hidden illness, remember not to mention it next time!" Tang Fei said seriously, his voice not too loud Xiao Gang was able to make the group of gossip spirits who pricked up their ears hear clearly.

At this time, all the gossips were thinking: What a pity, what a pity, Boss Tang's cousin is so handsome, and Boss Tang must be not bad, what a pity, his face is so ruined!

Zijun stuck out his tongue and nodded to understand.You quickly vacated two seats for Tang Fei, touched Erbaiwu's head affectionately, and then went to the kitchen to report their boss' arrival.

Ziqing and others who were helping to serve food in the kitchen ran out happily and stood in front of Tang Fei to talk. Because of Zijun's warning just now, they were very smart not to ask about Feng Chenying, but they would all look at him involuntarily. Feng Chenying, especially that girl Xiaoting, blushed.

Tang Fei may not have seen them for a long time. The situation in the compound yesterday was complicated, but he just saw them in a hurry and didn't even say a few words.So after talking to them, Feng Chenying was quickly ignored.

Feng Chenying propped her face depressed, and unabashedly looked at Ziqing and the others with eyes full of envy and hatred.This kind of resentment of "If you dare to talk to my Fei'er again, I will let you die miserably" was too strong. Gradually, several people shut up, looked at Tang Fei anxiously, then glanced at Miaofeng. Chen Ying.They offended Brother Tang's cousin?Why look at them with such eyes?It feels so scary and eerie!

Tang Fei twitched the corners of his mouth, and ordered a few people to serve the guests first, and turned to stare at Feng Chenying after they left.

Although separated by a layer of black veil, Feng Chenying still felt the pressure from her eyes.Pretending to know nothing, he shook the dog leash in his hand and teased Erbaiwu.

Tang Fei smiled, this Feng Chenying is really good at pretending to be stupid after being stupid!

"Fei'er, Fei'er, the weather is so stuffy, take off the hat, or it will be too hot!" Feng Chenying suddenly said to Tang Fei, Tang Fei was taken aback, he almost stayed at home this month and got used to living without a hat, but Now it's in a public place, if you take off your hat...it's all your own carelessness, you only want to take Feng Chenying out to eat something delicious, but you forget that your face is scary.

Just as he was thinking about taking the food home to eat, Ziqing walked over and said in a low voice, "Brother Tang, why don't you and your cousin go to the kitchen at the back? That way you won't feel uncomfortable."

Tang Fei nodded and said, "That's fine, but first help me take care of my cousin for a while, and I have to go to the compound to see." He didn't go back to the compound yesterday because of Feng Chenying's affairs, and he didn't know that Zijun How are you arranging things.

"no problem!"

Tang Fei got up and took Feng Chenying, who was looking around, into the kitchen. The kitchen was huge, and Uncle Hai and Uncle Wu were busy in it, and there were two small helpers who were recruited only the month before last.Seeing Tang Fei enter the kitchen, everyone greeted him.Tang Fei briefly introduced Feng Chenying, and then pulled him to sit down at the table where the vegetables were placed.

"I have something to do now, and I'll be right back." Seeing what Feng Chenying was about to say, Tang Fei immediately continued: "If you clamor and say you want to go with me, I will never take you out again .Also, if you dare to run around, you will have nothing to eat today! Do you understand?"

Feng Chenying was so severely threatened by Tang Fei, she had no choice but to nod unwillingly.Immediately, in order to appease him, Tang Fei gave Feng Chenying a freshly baked roast chicken, and said, "You and Two Hundred Five eat first, no fights or fights are allowed."

Feng Chenying was already hungry, and the reluctance in her heart to see the delicious roast chicken had already run away, she held the roast chicken and nodded to Feng Chenying, saying that she knew it.Erbaiwu drooled and stared at the roast chicken intently, and called out to Tang Fei to show that it would be obedient.

"Uncle Hai, Uncle Wu, please be patient, I'll come back as soon as I go." Tang Fei explained to the people in the kitchen, and then walked towards the back door.

A simple mourning hall was set up for the old sixth master in the compound. His three grandsons knelt on the ground in filial piety, crying and burning paper money for the old sixth master.Tang Fei first burned a stick of incense for the old sixth master, then walked up to the three children and knelt down, and said softly, "From now on, no one will bully you. I will take your grandfather's place and take good care of you."

"Thank you, Boss Tang." The three said while crying.Tang Fei patted the head of the youngest girl, then handed over the prepared silk money to them.

At this time, a child's voice sounded behind him.

"Boss Tang."

Tang Fei turned around, and it was the little boy who stood up for the old sixth master yesterday.

Tang Fei nodded to him, saw how many oranges he was holding in his hand, and asked, "What is this?"

"The oranges picked outside the city are a sacrifice to the old sixth master." The child said while placing three oranges in front of the old sixth master's spirit.It was only then that Tang Fei noticed that his body was covered with sawdust and leaves, and he presumably climbed a tree to pick them himself.

After the child offered the sacrifice, he kowtowed three more times to the old sixth master, then walked up to the three children, touched the head of one of them and said, "Dan'er, don't cry, I will protect you from now on!"

Tang Fei recognized that it was the little boy Dan'er said to protect his brother and sister.

"What's your name? How old are you?" Tang Fei asked the boy picking oranges.

"Liang Meng, this year's eleventh." Liang Meng looked at Tang Fei and said without the slightest timidity.

"From today onwards, you are the steward of this yard." Tang Fei said lightly.He knew that Zijun hadn't made arrangements yet, but he didn't make the decision casually to let an 11-year-old child be in charge.This child is very promising, as long as he is willing to give him a chance, cultivate him well.

Liang Meng was obviously surprised. After watching Tang Fei for a while, he said, "I will definitely do better than anyone else!"

"Very good." Tang Fei patted his head, turned and left.If she doesn't go back again, Feng Chenying should be in a hurry.

Liang Meng watched Tang Fei leave, then smiled at Dan'er and said, "No one can bully you anymore."

Ever since he took Feng Chenying out once, he has been arguing to go to the restaurant every day. The annoyed Tang Fei can only take him to the toothbrush festival every now and then, and visit the compound by the way.Although Liang Meng is young, he is very sensible and quick to learn.Zijun would ask him to write and settle the accounts every day when he was free. He also strived to use the method of accounting to calculate all the expenses in the compound, and then divided them among everyone. Things were done in an orderly manner.Tang Fei was very satisfied.

On this day, Tang Fei and Feng Chenying spent time at the restaurant until the sun went down.He asked everyone else to leave first, and he and Feng Chenying stayed behind to close the door.

Feng Chenying didn't do business, while chasing and fighting Erbaiwu, at the same time hindered Tang Fei's speed of closing the door.

Tang Fei, who couldn't bear it any longer, was about to use force against them when he heard someone shouting, "It's on fire! Come on! It's on fire!"

At this time, when the night market was crowded with people, when they heard someone yelling for water, they immediately prepared water equipment nervously, for fear that it would harm the fish in the pond.

Many people were looking around to see where it was on fire. Tang Fei closed the last door and took Feng Chenying, who wanted to join in the fun, home.

"It's on fire! Come, someone! The compound is on fire! Come, someone!"

Tang Fei paused, the compound was on fire? !Those old men and children!Tang Fei left Feng Chenying and ran towards the compound.

"Fei'er!" Feng Chenying led Erbaiwu and chased after him.

"Why is the compound on fire? There are many old people and children living there." One of the neighbors said.

"Should we help out? Boss Tang takes care of us like this on weekdays..." A neighbor suggested.

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and then they all ran towards the compound with buckets.

Tang Fei stood in front of the burning courtyard, looking at the red flames soaring into the sky, trembling all over his body.

"Where are the people inside?!" Tang Fei grabbed a firefighter and asked.

"The ones that came out are all there! The others are probably still inside! The fire is too big, we can't get in to save people!"

Tang Fei followed the man's words and saw that only a dozen or so old people were crying and begging the neighbors to come in and save them.

"Fei'er!" Feng Chenying chased after him, but before he could grab Tang Fei's hand, Tang Fei grabbed the wooden basin from one of the firefighters, poured water on himself and rushed in without looking back. Field of fire!

"Boss Tang, don't go in! Come out!"

"Boss Tang!"

The surrounding neighbors had no time to stop Tang Fei, his figure had already disappeared into the fire scene.

Feng Chenying looked up at the compound surrounded by fire, with a dazed expression, and then a look of pain appeared in her eyes.

"Where's Brother Tang!" Zi Jun, who also received the news, turned back and saw Feng Chenying asking anxiously here, but Feng Chenying didn't respond at all!

"Boss Tang rushed into the scene of fire! He is really desperate for such a big fire!" One of the neighbors who watched Tang Fei go in said angrily and anxiously.

"Fei'er..." The red flames reflected Feng Chenying's pale face, which was extremely coquettish and strange, and a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes were full of despair and madness. "Fei'er is inside, Fei'er, Fei'er!"

The eyes of the neighbors fighting the fire were blurred, and Feng Chenying's figure also disappeared into the sea of ​​flames.

"My God! Cousin rushed in too!" Zi Jun, who helped put out the fire, was almost scared to death. Brother Tang was also inside, and his cousin was also inside. What if something happened to them? !

With a "crash", Zi Jun looked up and saw that it was Uncle Hai and Uncle Wu who poured two buckets full of water on them, and then shouted at the crowd: "Keep fighting the fire and don't mess around! Let's go in and rescue the boss and his cousin !” Saying that, they rushed in together.

When Tang Fei rushed into the fire scene, he shouted Liang Meng's name.A response was heard soon, but the voice was weak.Tang Fei followed the sound and rushed into the house. Everything in the house was burning. Tang Fei carefully avoided the collapsed fire logs and found them in the innermost room.

Also because it is the deepest part of the compound, the rooms here have not yet burned.But there is thick smoke everywhere, even if the fire hasn't burned in, the smoke is enough to choke people to death!

"Liang Meng! Liang Meng!" Tang Fei shouted, trying to open the door, but found that the door was locked with a big iron!Tang Fei was startled, the fire was man-made, someone wanted to burn the people in the compound to death!

"Boss Tang! Hurry up and save us! Cough, cough, we are all locked here!" Liang Meng, who was locked inside, slammed on the door vigorously, coughing from the thick smoke, but still did not forget to tell them what happened. Condition:"

All the children in the compound are here, and the remaining twelve are all elderly and disabled. Boss Tang, please help us, someone is about to die! "

"Cough cough cough cough, hold on for a while longer! I'll knock the door open immediately!" Tang Fei's lungs were already faulty, and he coughed non-stop when he was choked by the thick smoke, his eyes stinging from the smoke.

The fire had burned in, and even though the clothes had been splashed with water when they came in, the skin was still painfully burned by the fire.Tang Fei covered his mouth and nose, banging on the door over and over again.The feeling of being scorched by the fire is so familiar, he escaped from the fire three years ago, and now he can save these children and old people in the same way!

"Kalakala", there was a loud noise from his head, Tang Fei froze his movements and raised his head abruptly.The beams of the house that had been burned by the fire could no longer hold up and fell down!

"Fei'er!" Tang Fei, who couldn't avoid it, fell into a familiar embrace, and the blazing beam hit Feng Chenying's back hard before bouncing to the ground.

"Hehe, Fei'er, you're fine." Feng Chenying protected Tang Fei under her body, smiling brightly.When Feng Chenying rushed into the fire scene, he didn't wet his clothes with water. When the beam hit him, his clothes were instantly burned, and even a strand of hair was scorched.But he acted like nothing happened, holding Tang Fei tightly in his arms, and smirked at him.

Tang Fei, who came back to his senses, hurriedly extinguished the fire on Feng Chenying's body. Fortunately, it was only a small flame that burned his clothes.

"Are you a fool?!" Tang Fei hugged Feng Chenying tightly, his eyes blurred by hot tears.

"I'm not a fool, I'm Tang Wubai, Feier's Tang Wubai." Feng Chenying still giggled "hehe", defending herself for not being a fool.

Tang Fei took a deep breath, patted Feng Chenying and said, "Help me open the door, the children are inside!" Now is not the time to discuss stupidity, it is important to save people!

"En!" Feng Chenying followed Tang Fei behind her, and with a loud shout, she slapped the door and the door wedge that were locked by the big lock away with her palm.

The two rushed in quickly, and the twenty or so people had no choice but to get out at once, but it was too late if they didn't save them!Holding the two youngest children in his arms, Tang Fei looked around. This was the innermost room, surrounded by walls on three sides without even a vent.How to get out like this? !

Feng Chenying carried one on her back, and held one in each of her arms. The rest were children over eight years old and under 12 years old. They consciously took care of the elderly and the disabled with limited mobility, and looked hopefully at Tang Fei and Feng Chenying. , I hope he can save everyone.Seeing that Tang Fei was in trouble, no one disturbed him.

"Boss Tang." An old voice sounded behind him. Tang Fei turned around and saw an old woman sitting slumped on the ground with a weak voice, but she looked at Tang Fei firmly with a pair of cloudy eyes and said, "Take all these children out. We are old bones, we have lived a long time, and we have lived enough. These children are still young, and their time is still long. Leave us alone and take them away."

Tang Fei looked blankly at the twelve old and sick people, and wanted to leave them all behind?

"Ahem, Boss Tang, let's take the children away. If you hadn't taken us in back then, we wouldn't be able to live today. The three-year job is already a gift." The old uncle with thighs, he cut off a leg because of gambling, if Tang Fei hadn't kindly taken him in and hired a doctor for him, he wouldn't have survived to this day.

"Boss! Boss!" At this time, Uncle Hai and Uncle Wu also came over, and they immediately understood the situation as soon as they entered the room, but no matter how difficult it is, you have to make a choice, right? "Boss, the fire is already burning in uncontrollably. If we don't leave, we will all die here!" Uncle Wu's voice was like a bell, but because he was choked by the thick smoke for a long time, his voice had already become hoarse.

Tang Fei raised his head to look at Feng Chenying, Feng Chenying looked at Tang Fei ignorantly, and then smiled at him: "Fei'er?"

Tang Fei gritted his teeth and made up his mind, and said in a muffled voice: "Uncle Hai, take care of the children, let's go!" The most difficult decision has been made, Tang Fei rushed out with the two children in his arms, Feng Chenying followed closely superior.Uncle Hai and Uncle Wu are strong and strong, and they took all the remaining children out as long as they could hold or carry them.

The fire burned all night, and when dawn came, it finally went out, and only a few fires were still burning.Thirteen bodies were recovered from the rubble.

The restaurant has become a temporary shelter for these homeless children and the rest is an old man. Tang Fei, who is in a mess, is sitting on the threshold with a three-year-old child in his arms. Where it was, there was a distorted and ugly face burned by fire, with dead eyes.The child in her arms had already fallen asleep, with tears still hanging from the corners of her eyes.From time to time, suppressed cries came from the restaurant. They were crying for their relatives and friends who had lived with them for three years.

"Wow~" Erbaiwu came over, lowered his head and touched Tang Fei's hand.Tang Fei looked at two hundred and five, and then thought of Feng Chenying.I looked up, but couldn't find his shadow.

"Chen—cousin?" Tang Fei got up with the child in his arms, and looked around for Feng Chenying, but he couldn't see anyone.

"Tang Wubai!" Tang Fei finally became anxious, and handed the child to Zimo who came over, anxiously looking for someone.

"Tang Wubai, come out!" Tang Fei bumped into someone without looking at the road.It's Liang Meng.

Xiao Liang was blackened by the smoke, and when he saw Tang Fei looking for someone, he said, "Boss Tang, if you want to find that white-haired brother, he went to the compound."

"Thank you." Tang Fei nodded to him and went straight to the compound.

The courtyard has completely lost its original appearance, leaving only a pile of charred ruins.The white-haired Feng Chenying stood in front of the ruins, very conspicuous.

"What are you doing here?" Tang Fei walked up, wanting to take Feng Chenying back.

Feng Chenying broke away from his hand, and stared straight at the ruins.Tang Fei looked at Feng Chenying in surprise, did he reject him?

"Fei'er is inside, Fei'er is inside..." Feng Chenying staggered into the ruins, digging something with her bare hands in the still hot charcoal.

"You're crazy! Tang Wubai, stop!" Tang Fei stepped forward to hold Feng Chenying, but in a flash, Feng Chenying's hands were blistered.

"Get out!" Feng Chenying pushed Tang Fei away violently, staring at him with fierce and crazy eyes, full of desperate killing intent, "Get out! My Fei'er is still inside, I'm going to find him!" said After that, he started digging again, and his hands were dripping with blood instantly.

"Feng Chenying!" Tang Fei rushed over and hugged Feng Chenying tightly to prevent him from moving. He lost his mind and shouted, "I'm here! I'm Tang Fei! Your Fei'er is not here!" How could it be In this way, saving people in the fire scene is fine, why did Feng Chenying change all of a sudden?

"Ah!" Feng Chenying yelled frantically, throwing Tang Fei out!Tang Fei was thrown a foot away, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.Looking up, Feng Chenying was already close in front of her eyes.

"You dare to pretend to be my Fei'er, I'll kill you!" Feng Chenying, who had completely lost her mind and fell into madness, raised her palm, intending to strike Tang Fei to death.

The past is not the same, Tang Fei doesn't want to bother about who is right and who is wrong.Anyway, I don't live long, if I want to die, I will die in Feng Chenying's hands...

Tang Fei's heart was as sad as water, and he closed his eyes resignedly.
