In one go

A few days later, the four of them left the village in the dark, rewarded Liu Datou, declined his kindness, and walked directly south along the official road.Old man Su still didn't know anything, and murmured that he was going back to Jiangnan.Wang Hang just listened silently, leaning on the carriage as if trying to catch sleep.

The driving was naturally attributed to Zhang Zhezhi. Since Wang Hang had told him the destination before, he was able to drive through the fork with ease.After bumping like this for two full days and one night, they finally entered the city at dusk.

Stone City is not named because of the large number of stones, but because a special kind of black jade is produced within dozens of miles outside the city. Unlike ordinary black jade, this kind of black jade can not only be ground into powder, but also used as medicine , after soaking it in water, it can still emit a faint golden light, and when two pieces of black jade collide, they can even make a deep sound like a dragon's chant.

So this black jade naturally became exclusive to the royal family, and it had to pay a hundred or so carts every year, not to mention, and it was not allowed to be sold in the market.So even after Wang Hang and others arrived in Shicheng, they never saw a piece of black jade.

The four finally stopped in front of a slightly dilapidated house. The stone lion on the left turned half of its head.Wang Hang knocked on the door first, and about a quarter of an hour later, the door opened a crack, "Who is it?"

"Auntie..."

Before Wang Hang could finish speaking, the figure behind the door let out a scream and threw himself on Wang Hang, "Little melon! You are finally here!"

Unexpectedly, Wang Hang didn't avoid it, but stood there stiffly, letting his petite body hug him.After coughing a few times, he pushed her away. Just as he was about to introduce each other, the woman beside him had already walked down and welcomed them in.

The inside of the house is much more beautiful than the outside. There are many rhododendrons planted in the yard, and a large number of them are clustered together. Sometimes the wind blows by, like a girl in purple dancing, very aura.

The woman led them through the small sea of ​​flowers, quickly cleaned up four rooms, and quickly cooked a table of dishes.Wang Hang's mood also improved a lot, the corners of his eyes were stained with smiles, and his picky appetite became better, and he whispered something to the woman from time to time, and pointed at Xiao Qi.The woman listened, and suddenly showed a surprised expression, and immediately started talking with Xiao Qi.And Wang Hang never said a word to Zhang Zhezhi from the beginning to the end.

Finally, halfway through the meal, Zhang Zhezhi suppressed the unhappiness that seemed to be the size of a fingernail in his heart, and joked, "Wang Hang, you know such a beautiful sister, why don't you give us a good introduction."

"I'm Xiaogua...uh, Wang Hang's aunt," the woman said before Wang Hang, looking at Zhang Zhezhi and Wang Hang with a smile, "Wang Hang, why don't you introduce me?"

He even forgot this important step because of the momentary joy. Looking at the woman's smile, Wang Hang seemed a little embarrassed. He pursed his lips and pointed to Zhang Zhezhi, "His name is Zhang Zhezhi, and he is the accountant in the mansion. , Thanks to his help, we were able to get here smoothly."

"Oh, really~" The woman paused thoughtfully, then smiled and faced Zhang Zhezhi, "Then I really have to thank you for accompanying him so far and rushing here!"

Zhang Zhezhi immediately waved his hands in embarrassment, and kept talking about where.

Wang Han moved his hand, "This is Dr. Su Fang, who not only has excellent medical skills, but also has a compassionate heart. He is really a model of good hands and benevolence." The old man over there also smiled and nodded, and the others After exchanging pleasantries for a while, it was considered that this topic was brought to the fore.

When everyone put down their chopsticks again, the sky also darkened. Everyone was exhausted due to the bumpy road. Before Wang Hang could speak, the others had offered to take an early rest.The four of them dispersed and returned to their own rooms.

However, not long after Wang Hang sat down, there was a sound of light footsteps outside the door.He sighed, and hurriedly ushered people in.

As soon as the woman sat down, the beautiful Liu Yemei twisted together, "Be honest, what are you doing here?"

"Auntie, when I wanted to see you again, I wanted to invite you home and present a day of shame. But..." He lowered his eyes, his words were full of frustration, "I'm afraid even the brocade outside the house is laughing me."

The woman said with a smile, "It seems that my sister was right when she called you Xiaogua. After so many years, she still hasn't become smarter." She held Wang Hang's hand and looked into his eyes, "Is it true that I, Chunyun, are really in your heart? A person who loves money so much?"

"Auntie..." After being silent for a long time, Wang Hang only uttered this word, and the other words seemed to be stuck in his throat.

As far as Wang Hang was concerned, he didn't want to involve her in this matter at all, but there was no one else worthy of his trust except her.

Seeing his silence, Chunyun's eyebrows were a little worried, but she immediately put on a smile, "Okay, it's fine if you don't want to say it, and my aunt won't force you. But why didn't you bring Xiaojiu with you this time, that child He is eccentric and especially good at talking, I really miss him..."

"He," Wang Hang raised his eyelids, with a slight smile on his face, but his eyes gleamed with water, "he is very lucky, leaving us ordinary people behind, and went to other places by himself by boat , went to live a happy life."

Chunyun has not seen Wang Hang like this for a long time, and the last time this expression appeared was three days after Shang Jin passed away.When he dealt with the guests, cleaned up the mess, and subdued the girls' grievances for three full days, the moment he asked him if he was tired, there was water in his eyes, and he replied with a smile on his face, nothing.

Just like at that time, she didn't know what she should do at this time, but how could she not know that her little melon is a person who looks cold, but is more emotional than anyone else, and is not extremely sad, It is definitely not the case.

Could it be that Xiaojiu...?

An idea that was almost completely close to the truth sprouted in her mind, but she didn't ask anything, instead she catered to Wang Hang's statement, "Then you don't want to learn from him, after all, such a big family behind you relies on you .Even my aunt, I hope you will take me back to enjoy the happiness soon."

"Auntie said yes."

Chun Yun thought for a while, and said, "But I've been busy lately. I just can't find anything to do. I'm a born slave. I can't be free for a moment." The conversation changed, "Otherwise, I'll go out with you guys. shopping?"

How could Wang Hang not understand that this was a step Chunyun gave him, and he hoped that he would confide in his heart quickly, but the more he did this, the more guilty he felt, and in the end he could only make this love more and more difficult to repay.

"Since this is the case, can my aunt help me take care of the two of them? The right is to exercise your muscles and bones."

"You kid," Chun Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief, and poked his delicate fingers straight on the top of his head, "Are you Xiao Qi and Doctor Su?"

"Well, I know that I can't hide anything from my aunt." Wang Hang smiled wryly, "After two months and everything is settled, I will come to pick you up right away."

Speaking of this, the woman suddenly laughed, joking and sarcasm at the same time, and she didn't stop until Wang Han blushed.The two chatted happily all night, uncovered many old stories, and told each other many strange people and strange things. Naturally, there is happiness, but sadness is also inevitable.

They lived like this for four or five days, and after Wang Hang added a few maids to the yard, he also took care of some other households.It wasn't until the fifth day that Chunyun couldn't stand his behavior, and kicked him and Zhang Zhezhi out of Shicheng, and that was the end.

And since they left Shicheng, the two of them moved forward at a steady pace.Zhang Zhezhi tried to trap Wang Hang several times, but he failed to find out why he was going to Qingshi Town.

After walking like this for about ten days, they finally came to Qingshi Town.

Qingshi Town itself is not big, but many of its subordinate villages are located in the continuous mountains. If you want to find someone, you will have to work hard.

At the moment, the two of them were in a restaurant by the lake, there was nothing good to eat, Wang Hang put down his chopsticks after eating two casual bites, his eyes wandered to the small lake, wondering what he was thinking.

Zhang Zhezhi followed his gaze and frowned, "What's so interesting about this lake?"

"It's nothing to see." Wang Hang looked away and said lightly, "Hurry up and eat. After eating, you will lead the way and go to your house."

Zhang Zhe almost spit out his mouthful of food, his eyes widened, "Go to my house?!!"

"Well," Wang Hang said softly, "Didn't you say you want to avenge your parents? Just take this opportunity to help you fulfill this unfinished wish."

"So you came here... for me?" Zhang Zhezhi murmured, with 'unbelievable' written all over his face.

"Actually, it's not all." Looking at his expression, Wang Han thought he was overly surprised, so he hurriedly helped him out, "I was a member of this Qingshi Town when I was a child, and coming back this time can be regarded as a return to the old place. You, take a look at the scenery of your hometown, maybe you can recall some past events."

However, Zhang Zhezhi's expression was still not very good, and his voice was muffled, "Wang Han, I thought that I would never return to that place in this life..." He forced a smile, his eyes were a little red, "Thank you."

He spoke intermittently, the chopsticks in his hands were tightly squeezed, his face was flushed, and he stubbornly tried to hold his face, not to cry.

"You don't need to thank me too much," Wang Hang's eyes circled in the air as guilt came from nowhere, "It's just a matter of effort."

Zhang Zhezhi didn't reply, and sat there silent for a while, as if holding back his tears.He took a few mouthfuls of rice and said indistinctly that I will finish eating right away.

Wang Hang didn't urge him, and occasionally brought him some food, said a few words that he was not in a hurry, and looked leisurely, but he didn't have the original absent-minded look.

Did he walk out of Zhou Ye's death?Or is it the influence of that woman?It's not easy for Zhang Zhe to jump to conclusions for a while, but the second possibility is like a fishbone, and every time he thinks about it, he feels a little uncomfortable.

"I'm done eating!" He put down his chopsticks with a 'snap', "Let's go now!"

"I told you not to rush," he stood up first with a little helplessness and pampering, "If you go now, you may not be able to find a place to stay before dark."

Zhang Zhezhi also stood up, "Then what should we do?"

"I want to visit the places I used to go when I was young," he laughed self-deprecatingly. "Probably the older I get, the easier it is to recall the past. After all, apart from these memories, I don't have anything more precious."

"Then I'll go with you too!" Zhang Zhezhi was eager to try, "Anyway, I have nothing to do, and I also want to know more about your previous life."

Hearing this, Wang Hang couldn't help being a little surprised, he had originally planned to let Zhang Zhezhi visit the town by himself.But since he offered to go with him, it doesn't look like a bad thing.

"In this case, let's go." Wang Hang led Zhang Zhezhi forward until he reached the lake.

Most of the weather in the south is humid, and the water and soil everywhere are very similar.Similar to Jiangnan, the lake is also full of willow trees, the branches hang down one by one, and the reflection on the mirror-like lake is really beautiful.

"There were not so many willow trees here. When I was young, there were only two or three standing here, not even enough to block the wind."

Zhang Zhezhi just listened and followed behind him quietly.

He walked along the willow tree for a while, and then turned into an alley.

This alley looks like no one has been walking around all year round. Both sides are full of garbage and emit a stench.Zhang Zhezhi frowned and couldn't stop for a long time.But seeing Wang Hang walking further and further in, he still endured his nausea and followed.

"You probably have never been to this kind of place." Wang Hang was not surprised by Zhang Zhezhi's reaction, but he was even more amiable. "I used to spend the night in this alley when I was a child. At that time, it was full of homeless children with nowhere to go. In summer, it’s okay, and the smell is bearable, but in winter, it’s hard, it’s so cold that it’s deadly.”

"Er Maozi died here," he stopped, and tapped his toes. "When he died, his whole body was covered with a layer of hoarfrost."

He continued to walk forward, and soon turned out of the alley, and in front of him was a restaurant with a gold-lettered sign saying "The Best Dish in the World".

"I used to steal things here when I was a child, and I was often beaten by the people here. They often beat me to pieces before they would stop." But they probably wouldn't have thought that I wouldn't learn my lesson every time, Still have to continue to do these sneaky things here.

Zhang Zhezhi was listening to Wang Hang's words, he hesitated to speak several times.

Now is not the time, we have to wait until Wang Hang is willing to tell himself the most important thing in all of this.

So silence goes with them.The two of them even had very little eye contact, and the slightly staggered distance seemed to force a gap in the middle.

But Wang Hang didn't seem to care much about the current situation. He bought more than [-] steamed buns in 'No. [-] Dish in the World' and carried them with him, and gave two to every beggar he saw.All the way down, but it was scattered and almost finished.

However, he kept the last one by himself. After taking a bite, he shook his head, sighed, wrapped it up and put it on the side of the road.But Zhang Zhezhi didn't find it strange, he just felt that the timing was getting more and more mature, which was a good thing.

After walking like this for a while, through the streets and alleys, away from the hustle and bustle, Wang Han finally stopped in front of a ruined temple. He finally turned his head, faced Zhang Zhezhi, and said, "This is my home."

Finally, the time has come!
