Tragically favored by the famous group

When the sky was bright in the morning, Chi Li, an old servant of the Chi family, drove the carriage to the thatched cottage.

At this time, Chi Xin had already washed and dressed.He got up early, drank all the porridge in the clay pot, collected some herbs, and packed them together with the clothes in the house.The bedding on the bed was neatly folded, but he didn't take it away.Because the bedding and living utensils in memory have always been in the house, maybe they don't belong to him.A month ago, he brought only a change of clothes.

Chi Xin was not surprised that he didn't see his father and brothers.The unfavored child is not going to do important things to honor his ancestors, but to go to another house as a slave for ten years. It is not certain whether he will come back alive, and his father and brothers will not care if he thinks about it.

He bowed respectfully to the grave, got up again, and got into the carriage without saying a word.He is very happy to have a carriage when he goes out and not have to walk by himself.However, as Chi Xin, he shouldn't be in a good mood to be far away from home. He tried his best to maintain a neither sad nor happy appearance, so as not to be seen by the servants of the Chi family.

Chi Li sighed in his heart when he saw that the fourth young master got into the carriage calmly without crying or making trouble.The head of the family is also so cruel, he didn't come to see him off, and sent other young masters to go through the motions, it's better than sending the fourth young master off alone.The fourth son probably didn't think that his father and brother would come to see him off, so he could be so calm?

Chi Li didn't know that Chi Xin, who had changed the core, was glad that his "relatives" didn't come, otherwise he wouldn't know what to say when they met.Originally, there wasn't much emotional foundation, so Chi Xin couldn't pretend to feel the sadness of parting from his relatives.It was so hard not to let people see that he was happy and happy.

In short, it is much better to go to the North Feng family as a slave and have his own master to take care of food and lodging than to live alone in the barren mountains and wild ridges thinking about where to find food for his next meal.Others thought he was sad and hesitant, but who would have guessed that the little drug slave was full of hope for the future.

He used to know nothing about the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting that the young masters knew, but now he only has a vague memory of the original owner in his mind, so he doesn't need to use it unless necessary.But he is very familiar with chopping firewood, burning fire, serving tea, handing water, cooking porridge and decocting medicine, those humble things of serving people.In the holy religion, the drug slave who can't serve others has long been left with bones. He can live to be in his teens without dying. Of course, he is a strong player with rich experience.Thinking about it this way, he became more and more confident that he would definitely be able to meet the needs of being a servant in the Feng family.

The fourth son kept silent, so Chi Li was also silent all the way, worried, and wanted to comfort him, but found that it was useless to say anything. No one could change the cruel fact that the fourth son was about to go to the Feng family as a slave for ten years.It wasn't until he watched the fourth young master board the Feng family's cargo ship that Chi Li discovered that the luggage that had been carefully prepared for the fourth young master was still in the carriage.The fourth young master just took the crude baggage brought out from the thatched cottage, and left like that without looking back.

The night before, it is said that the head of the family packed the bags for the fourth young master himself, not to mention decent clothes, but also a lot of money and dry food.It will take more than ten days by boat to go to Beifeng's house.Now the fourth young master is almost empty-handed, with no food and clothing. How can the Feng family take care of the Chi family? He is afraid that he will suffer a lot.

"Chi Li, what are you doing in a hurry?" When Chi Yue walked to the pier, he couldn't help scolding, and stopped the old servant who wanted to catch up with the boat with the package.

Chi Li stopped in a hurry, breathed evenly, lowered his head and said with self-blame, "It's all because the old slave is confused. He didn't tell the fourth son to bring his luggage. He's already on board."

Looking at the Fengjia cargo ship that had already set sail, Chi Yue's eyes flashed with worry. With his lightness, it is not impossible to jump on the cargo ship.It's just that the Feng family is on board, so he can't act recklessly and make the Feng family suspicious.

Chi Yue knew in his heart that the child was still angry and refused to take things from the Chi family, and he was still wearing the clothes his mother had prepared for him in the early years.So Chi Yueqiang was depressed and depressed, pretending to be indifferent on the surface, and said in a deep voice, "Stop chasing."

Chi Xin lost her mother at the age of nine, and Xu Mi'er sewed a lot of new clothes for her son long before her death, imagining how tall his son would grow every year, and prepared at least two sets of clothes every year, although they were not very good materials , but enough for Chi Xin to penetrate.Since entering the Chi family's mansion, every New Year's day, Lu Shi will compare the expenses of the other young masters to cut new clothes for Chi Xin, so that he will not be short of him in terms of food and clothing and cause gossip.

Now Chi Xin has just turned 15 years old.There is an independent yard in the mansion, and the clothes and monthly money are given to him on time, which is considered to be less wealthy than ordinary civilians.A month ago, he was wearing coarse sackcloth and took only a change of clothes into the mountain to guard the tomb. He ate the rice grains placed in advance in the thatched hut and did not eat meat, just like an ascetic monk.

At that time, the child's heart was probably dead.Chi Yue looked away, thinking of the scene in the ancestral hall a month ago, his heart was sour for no reason.

At that time, the child, with his back dripping with blood, still respectfully knelt down and begged in a low voice to grant his mother a title.But Chi Yue refused.With a hard heart, he watched the light in the child's eyes go out suddenly, and watched him bite his lip and cough up blood and tremble helplessly, but it was not just because of the physical pain of being beaten by the family law.The child must be very sad, very badly hurt.

The next day, Chi Xin woke up and only hastily bandaged his wound, then went to the mountain to guard the tomb without stopping for a moment.When parting, Chi Xin knelt at the door and said the last words to him: "A child cannot be a filial piety at his father's knee, and hope that after death, his ashes can return to his homeland and be sprinkled on the side of his mother's grave. He will accompany him for a long time, so that his mother will not be lonely. Nothing."

Chi Yue nodded stiffly in agreement, and didn't say anything more.

At this moment, Chi Yue understood that the child probably had no intention of coming back alive.

The two parties had agreed long ago that if the son of the Chi family died unexpectedly while serving as a slave, the Feng family would bow their heads and admit defeat.If the Chi family's son could not bear the hardship of being a slave and escaped privately, it would be the Chi family's fault. Five years later, the Chi family would voluntarily abstain from the Northern and Southern Martial Arts Competition, and they were not allowed to send anyone to fight.

The Feng family represents the leading position in the northern martial arts, while the Jiangnan martial arts regards the Chi family as the leader.It seems that the two families have grievances and entanglements for generations, but in fact they represent the face of the northern and southern martial arts, and there is no room for sloppy personal relationships.

In this year's round of martial arts competition, the Jiangnan martial arts led by the Chi family lost slightly.The Chi family's son went to the Feng family as a slave as agreed, and Jiangnan martial arts has lost all face.If the Chi family doesn't find a way to win the round, the leader of the Jiangnan martial arts will change hands.And if Chi Xin really "died an untimely death" in the Feng family, then the Chi family would have no worries.

Different from Chi Yue's worry and anxiety, after boarding the cargo ship, Chi Xin looked around on the deck, seeing that everything was new.

It was the first time for him to take a boat, and it was still such a big boat. It sailed steadily on the wide river, and the edge could not be seen at a glance.This is something that was unimaginable in the past. How can you not be happy if you experience it yourself.

The people of the Feng family treated him very coldly. They thought to ignore the fourth young master of the Chi family for a few hours, but found that he was standing on the deck and was fascinated by the scenery, and he was not dissatisfied at all. There was also a faint look of joy.It is completely different from the helplessness they expected, or the anger after feeling neglected.

The person in charge of this cargo ship is named Feng Shu, who is an offshoot of the Feng family and is in charge of the north-south business of the Feng family.In recent years, the Feng family's direct lineage has been almost single-handed, and there are few males, so many side branches have been used to take care of the big family business together.The Feng family not only occupies a place in the martial arts, but also has a side branch that took the imperial examination and entered the court as an official.With both civil and martial arts, even if the lineage is not prosperous, the Feng family can stand for a hundred years, and no one can shake the status of the northern aristocratic family.

After Feng Shu was busy with the matter at hand, he walked to the deck, and this was the formal greeting to the fourth young master of the Chi family.

"Fourth son, I'm the steward of the Feng family, Feng Shu. I'm sorry, the ship is busy today, so I'm negligent, and I hope you can forgive me." Feng Shu travels all over the world, and he can still say those polite words on the scene, but there is no respect and sincerity in his expression when he speaks. That's all.

It is normal for drug slaves to be despised and neglected, or even punished for no reason.On the contrary, Chi Xin was a little uncomfortable with the other party's polite way of speaking.He could only boldly follow the etiquette he remembered from middle school, greeted this middle-aged man who appeared suddenly and seemed to be in charge, and replied a little uneasy: "You are polite about the air management. The younger generation is new here, and I will ask you more in the future." Take care of one or two." Putting it aside, he didn't feel it at all, he was going to Feng's house as a servant, and he was quite tolerant when he got on the boat and no one gave him work.

Feng Shu couldn't help being secretly surprised. Guan Chi Xin's face was sincere, his tone was calm, and his attitude was humble. Was it because he had a deep mind and was good at disguising, or was he too innocent to know that he was deliberately ignored and made things difficult for him?He continued calmly: "This ship was originally used to transport goods, and there are not many passenger cabins, but now it is full of people. Fourth son, please stay in the cargo cabin, please come with me."

In fact, it doesn't matter where you live, Chi Xin's needs in this area are extremely low, and she quietly followed the wind to the dim cargo hold step by step.

The cabin is full of boxes of goods, and even some live birds are locked in cages. The air on the deck is much more polluted than the air on the deck. A few oil lamps are lit, and the light and shadow are flickering. .

Feng Shu didn't completely deceive Chi Xin. There are indeed very few cabins on such large ships, but it's not all there.On the canal, the empty cabins brought some paying customers along the way, and he could also earn some extra money.As for the servants on board the ship, they crowded into the big room of the cabin to make up the bunks, and there was not too much one more, so they could sleep no matter what.

However, Feng Shu deliberately led Chi Xin to the unoccupied cargo hold, which was a kind of making things difficult.I heard that Chi Xin is the least favored young master of the Feng family, but he is still a young master anyway, different from ordinary people from small families.It is expected that Chi Xin must have an independent residence at home, and there will be no obvious difference in food and clothing expenses from other young masters.

Just now, Feng Shu saw that Chi Xin was plainly dressed, with thin luggage, and Feng Shu was a little contemptuous. Didn't this young man think that he would be able to take care of him with his own high bed and warm bunk after boarding the boat?But that's fine too, if Chi Xin couldn't bear such humiliation and abuse, and took the initiative to resign and leave, Feng Shu would definitely stop the boat immediately, and it would be no problem to send someone to send Chi Xin back to Chi's house.

Unexpectedly, Chi Xin responded without changing his face, as if he didn't mind being arranged to live in the cargo hold, and didn't ask about other things.Could it be that this child is traveling far for the first time, and he doesn't know that there are better living conditions on the cargo ship?
