Time is a mysterious thing.Jiang Lingxin looked at the sleeping child lying on the bed, and was in a daze for a moment. This child was really strange to him, but it happened to be his closest flesh and blood.

"Master...cough..." Mao Si's eyes were slightly red, seeing each other after seven years made him unable to remain motionless.

Jiang Lingxin sat lightly on the edge of the bed, hesitated for a moment, and finally tried the temperature of the child's forehead, and his palm was hot.

"It's because I didn't take good care of my little master..." Mao Si bowed and kowtowed.

Jiang Lingxin glanced at Mao Si, his clothes were stained with blood, he was dusty, and the back of his hands was wrapped with bandages, showing a black blood color.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Jiang Ling thought.

Mao Si's eyes were full of guilt, and he said: "Back then, the little master was raised in the Shen family, originally because the Shen family was clean and upright. The Shen family and his wife are both kind people, and they have no children. Wealth and worry-free. The little master will not endure hardships in such a family. But he never expected that the business of the Shen family has been getting better and better these years, and the business on the north-south river has also become bigger and bigger. The tree is big and attracts the wind. I don’t know who offended it. Bringing about death."

It was rare for the Shen family to take their son out for a walk, and their merchant ship thought there was nothing wrong with it, but encountered difficulties on the way home.The boat was flooded, and the river bandits took advantage of the chaos to kill and plunder. The Shen family and his wife hid their son. When Maosi arrived, they only found the unconscious young master, and there was no one left alive.

There was a bit of chill in Jiang Lingxin's eyes, and he said, "Go down and heal your injuries first, and I will let people find out about this matter."

"Little master, he..." Mao Si didn't know how Jiang Lingxin would treat this child.

Jiang Lingxin looked at the bed with a little ecstasy. The six or seven-year-old child hadn't grown up yet, with a round and soft face, and the quiet eyebrows and eyes were extraordinarily delicate and beautiful.He couldn't help but think, who does this child look like?

Mao Si also softened his eyes, and said softly: "Master, I have watched the little master grow up from a distance these years. Although the little master is still young, he is very smart and sensible. It's just..." Mao Si paused, Unable to suppress the hatred in his eyes, he gritted his teeth and said: "The Shen family is in trouble, the young master may have watched the Shen family couple and the servant girl die one by one before his eyes."

Jiang Lingxin felt something strange in his heart, and couldn't help raising his hand to press on his chest. After tasting it for a while, he suddenly realized that after so many years, he had tasted the feeling of pity again.

"This child...what's his name?" Jiang Lingxin finally asked.

Maosi suddenly raised his head. For so many years, Jiang Lingxin seemed to be deliberately forgetting about this child, but he didn't ask the slightest bit. Now this question, is he going to accept his own flesh and blood again?

"Shen Guan."

The thunderstorm stopped, the sky gradually brightened, and the new swallows under the eaves drew a shadow line on the horizon.When Xiao Shen Guan woke up, he met a pair of clear, beautiful and cold eyes, and a small spoon filled with medicine was pressed against his lips.

"woke up?"

The person sitting next to him looked cold, but his voice was somewhat jerky and gentle,

"Father..." Xiao Shen Guan murmured in a low voice.

Jiang Ling's heart stiffened, and the hand holding the medicine bowl shook slightly, spilling a few drops of the soup.

"Father! Mother!" Xiao Shen Guan suddenly sat up from the bed, threw off the quilt and ran down barefoot.He lay there for several days without taking two steps, with a soft eye on his leg, and he was about to fall to the ground.He picked him up firmly with one hand and threw him back on the bed.

Xiao Shen Guan was staggered from the fall, his face was pale, and he couldn't help shaking: "My parents..."

"They're all dead." Jiang Lingxin quietly looked at the little thing that was shaking into a ball on the bed, and said expressionlessly, "You should have seen it, they're all dead."

Xiao Shen Guan froze for a long time, curled up silently, and there was no sound at all.

Jiang Lingxin watched the little thing's thin shoulders twitch, and subconsciously stretched out his hand, but barely stopped in mid-air.He hesitated for a moment, but still withdrew his hand, curled his fingertips into his sleeve slightly, and said, "No one will pamper you anymore, and you will have to rely on yourself for everything in the future."

Xiao Shen Guan gritted his teeth and wept for a long time before he choked up intermittently and said, "Who killed my parents?"

Jiang Ling thought in his heart: "Cheng'an Xie family, they want to seize the business on the canal, so they just go on and on and kill the Shen family couple. It's not difficult for you to take revenge, Cheng'an's Xie family is really nothing Just do you know why they dare to be so rampant?"

Xiao Shen Guan raised his eyes, his red eyes were full of hatred.

Jiang Ling paused in his heart, and said, "Because he is a branch of the Xie family, King Wu Jing. With such a head family, they naturally don't have to be afraid. Do you want to know how to take revenge?"

Xiao Shen looked at the man in front of him with cold brows but fierce aura, and nodded slowly.

Jiang Ling Xinyu said gently: "It's useless to cut off the branches and leaves of a towering tree, you have to dig out its roots." Teenager's tears.

"Sir... teach me..." Xiao Shen Guan's voice was hoarse, he gave up his timidity in the face of the unknown, and desperately grabbed the corner of the person in front of him.

Jiang Ling's heart was slightly moved, he looked at the little hand grabbing the corner of his clothes, his heart softened, and said: "Be my apprentice." Xiao Shen Guan responded and called "Master".Jiang Ling lost his mind for a moment, and took out the jade talisman from his sleeve and tied it around Shen Guan's waist with his own hands.

The cold jade was pitch-black, hanging heavily, at that time Shen Guan was still young, and hadn't understood what it symbolized.

That was the best and only thing that Jiang Lingxin could give.
