20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 387 Fengtian·Hu Xiaoyan

In the early morning, Li Zhengxi opened his eyes, feeling inexplicably lost.

This night, I slept in a hazy state, dreaming about all kinds of things, but when I woke up, I had forgotten everything, and I looked at the ceiling numbly, in a daze.

He lazed on the bed for a moment, then got up and dressed. When his head passed through the collar, a faint sound of "thump, thump, thump" suddenly came from the window lattice.

Turning around and looking over, I saw a little sparrow on the window sill outside the house, using its beak like a grain of rice to gently peck at the glass twice.

Li Zhengxi was a little surprised, so he slowly approached.

The sparrow tilted its head, looked at him through the glass window, suddenly jumped warily, and then flew away with a "flutter".

Li Zhengxi also looked out the window.

Nowadays, the spring is bright and the breeze is gentle. Flowers are already blooming on the branches in the yard, but there are flowers but no leaves, which makes me feel a little lonely after all.

Flowers still look good when supported by green leaves.

There are flowers but no leaves, just a few stars, as if they are stuck on the branches. They are frivolous and fake.

When Li Zhengxi opened the door, the maids and long-term workers in the house were already busy, boiling water, cooking, sweeping and dusting, and the Yuan family's daughter-in-law was also among them to help. Since Xiaohua became the second concubine of the Jiang family, her original work fell into the hands of Yingzi, and Yingzi also received a salary.

The sound of the south wind came from the restaurant.

"Xifeng, why did you get up?"

"I fell asleep."

Li Zhengxi sat down at the dining table and found that Nan Feng had a square scarf tucked into his collar while he was drinking porridge.

"Second brother, you are becoming more and more particular now." Xifeng couldn't help but tease.

"What's wrong with being cleaner?" Wang Zhengnan was a little embarrassed, but then asked, "How are you, are you okay?"

"You're talking about this?" Li Zhengxi pointed to the bruise on his eyebrow bone, "If it's a fly bite, is it worth asking?"

Wang Zhengnan put down his bowl and chopsticks, suddenly took out a small brown medicine bottle from his arms, handed it to him and said: "Try this, French medicine, Bergson said this is effective!"

Li Zhengxi was not polite, took it over, smiled, and said, "Second brother loves me!"

At this time, Hu Xiaoyan suddenly shouted "South Wind" upstairs.

Wang Zhengnan quickly stood up, wiped his mouth and said, "Sister-in-law called me, you can eat it!"

Li Zhengxi nodded in agreement, but looking at the food on the table, he had no appetite at all.

Somehow, ever since I woke up, my heart has been hanging, and I always feel a little lost.

"Shua-"

The sound of turning pages came from the left side.

Zhang Zhengdong looked at the comic strip in his palm and said in a low voice without raising his head: "Xifeng, please stay at home for the whole day!"

"Stay for a day?" Li Zhengxi frowned and asked, "When will I stop staying at home?"

Zhang Zhengdong didn't reply, and continued to look at the comic book in his hand - his level only ended here.

"Brother Dong, what are you looking at?"

Zhang Zhengdong lifted the spine of the book, revealing the five characters "Dragon Phoenix Golden Ear Steak" on the cover.

The story tells a strange case.

On the night of the wedding, the groom was brutally killed and died unexpectedly. Later, he was replaced by a gangster and sneaked into the bridal chamber to steal money and sex. The bride, for various reasons, helped the gangster deceive her husband's family and deceive the government. In the end, thanks to Qing Tian Da Da Master, you are wise and powerful, so you can redress the injustice.

Sounds familiar.

Li Zhengxi shrugged, not interested in such nonsense.

He was a little absent-minded and took a few mouthfuls of porridge, then got up and walked up the stairs.

In the master bedroom on the second floor, Yingzi led his son to stand in the corner. Wang Zhengnan stood next to Hu Xiaoyan, nodding frequently while listening to his sister-in-law's instructions.

Jiang Ya snuggled close to her mother and looked at the fat boy of the Yuan family curiously. She wanted to play with him, but she didn't dare.

Li Zhengxi stood far outside the door, and when he was hesitating whether to enter the house, Hu Xiaoyan heard the noise and turned sideways to look at the door.

"Xifeng, is something wrong?"

"Ah, it's okay!" Li Zhengxi responded and took a step forward, "Sister-in-law, Brother Dao, everything is fine over there, right?"

Wang Zhengnan said: "I just called you this morning. It's very good."

Li Zhengxi nodded: "That's OK!"

Seeing his worried look, Hu Xiaoyan took the initiative and said, "The Yuan family's son is going to school. Please help us find a better school."

"It should, it should." Li Zhengxi said vaguely, "Sister-in-law, I'll go down first. If you need anything, call me."

He gently closed the door, then went to see Sister Hua and Jiang Chengye, asked Liu Yansheng who was recovering from his injuries, and even glanced at Song Ma.

Everything was fine and calm at home, but he still felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Sure enough, when he walked down the stairs again, there was a sudden loud noise at the door of the house.

Li Zhengxi's heart tightened, and when he was about to rush out to investigate, Zhang Zhengdong had already stabbed out of the restaurant and headed straight for the entrance door.

"Xifeng, you stay in the house, I'll go out and take a look!"

Zhang Zhengdong walked in a hurry, and while he was talking, he rushed out, walked quickly through the house, and walked towards the heavy black door of the Jiang family.

Li Zhengxi also hurried back to the room, holding his Browning gun in his hand, and came to the living room window, fully alert.

After Zhang Zhengdong walked out of the house, the noise outside suddenly fell silent, but a moment later, a louder shout broke out again.

The sound was very clear, piercing like the tip of a needle.

However, the voice was too noisy, chattering and chattering, making it difficult to hear what was being shouted, and it was getting farther and farther away, becoming increasingly blurry.

Li Zhengxi frowned and gradually recognized the voices of children.

So, he hurriedly pushed open the door of the house, and suddenly heard the sound of "Third Brother". He became more anxious and passionate, and immediately rushed towards the door of the courtyard.

As soon as they reached the center of the courtyard, the black iron door opened a crack, and Zhang Zhengdong sidestepped in like a loach.

"Brother Dong, are you looking for me?" Li Zhengxi asked anxiously.

Zhang Zhengdong grabbed Xifeng's shoulder, turned him around, waved towards the mansion, and said: "Something happened, go back to the house and tell us!"

Li Zhengxi took Dongfeng's hand away, turned around and asked quickly: "What's going on?"

The situation did not require any further explanation from Zhang Zhengdong.

The moment the heavy black door was about to close, a loud and harsh voice, with a hint of crying, suddenly pierced Xifeng's heart.

"Third brother! Fat Ya is dead! Fat Ya is dead!"

Li Zhengxi's face froze for a moment, he immediately raised his hand, pushed Dongfeng away, turned around and shouted "Open the door" to the brothers who were guarding the courtyard, and immediately rushed out in large strides.

At this moment, Wang Zhengnan, also covered in fat, hurriedly ran out of the house.

"What happened? What happened?" He came to the center of the courtyard and asked, "Brother Dong, what happened outside?"

Zhang Zhengdong shook his head helplessly, raised his finger and pointed behind him, and said, "Go and see for yourself!"

"Just tell me what's going on! This is hard work!"

Wang Zhengnan muttered a few words, and then hurriedly walked out of the house. He saw seven or eight little people leaning on the fans, crying and shouting at the west wind, while many bodyguards of the Jiang family were pushing and shoving on the ground. Todoroki chase them away.

"Go, go, go! Where are you little beggars? Is this a place where you can come? I've given you the money, go and play!" A few little fans waved their hands, and there was a "ding-ding" sound on the ground. Several coins jumped up and appeared in the ocean.

"Who cares if you want money!" they shouted, "We don't want money, we want revenge!"

"Hey! These wild boys don't want to listen to me anymore!" The bodyguards rolled up their arms and sleeves to scare them, "Go away or not, don't get the fuck!"

"Don't touch them!" Wang Zhengnan and Li Zhengxi shouted in unison.

When the Jiang family bodyguard heard that it was Nanfeng and Xifeng, he immediately stopped, but inadvertently, he turned back and glanced at Dongfeng standing in the courtyard.

However, Zhang Zhengdong ignored it and just turned around silently and returned to the door of the mansion.

"What's going on? Stop making such nonsense!" When Li Zhengxi stepped forward, his neck had grown thicker. "You, you tell me, you tell me alone!"

"me……"

The chosen child is used to being bold and powerful in groups. At this moment, the others were silent, but he was scared. So he quickly looked at the longer little fan next to him and asked for help: "You should tell the third brother!"

The little beggar was considered half of the party, so he immediately told the story of last night's shift.

Last night, when he was rushing to hand over his shift, there were only two little fans left in the alley. After asking, he found out that the fat girl and the little boy were staring at a big guy.

Marking people and checking spots was originally the job assigned to them by Li Zhengxi, so no one made a fuss.

Just at that time, another person came out of the Red Mansion, wearing a reddish-brown robe with a braid on the back of his head, walking towards the west. The little fan sent two more people to follow him, which was naturally not something to make a fuss about.

They work in pairs. Normally, if they stare for a long time, they will always choose someone to come back and report the news to everyone.

However, there was no news from Fat Ya and the four of them all night long.

Until the dawn of Yinshi, the sky in the distance showed a pale color, and on the embankment along the river - Fat Ya and the others no longer suffered.

When Wang Zhengnan heard this, he felt his heart tremble slightly and his eyes welled up with tears. He couldn't help but sigh. When he turned away and looked at Xi Feng, there was a thump in his heart and he secretly shouted: It's over!

I saw Li Zhengxi, with veins protruding from his forehead and blood filling his pupils; the hair on his body stood on end, and his head was full of anger; he already had the posture of "the anger in my heart is three thousand feet, and I will be a bad person if I don't take revenge."

"Xifeng, you... calm down."

Wang Zhengnan came forward, held Xifeng's arm, and tentatively persuaded: "Let's go home first and discuss this with my sister-in-law."

"Ah? What did you say?"

Li Zhengxi's figure was swaying, his vision suddenly went dark, and the back of his head was numb, making him a little slow.

He didn't turn a deaf ear on purpose, but the sound of buzzing in his head and the pouring of blood shook his eardrums like a flood.

Wang Zhengnan quickly clasped Xifeng's arm, and at the same time raised his voice and said, "Go back to the house to discuss it first."

Li Zhengxi jerked his hand and instinctively broke away from Nanfeng's grasp.

Seeing this, the older little beggar seemed to feel emboldened and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Kill to pay for life, debt to pay for money, what else is there to discuss?"

Li Zhengxi woke up at the sound and hurriedly asked: "Fat Ya and the others are still at the edge of the river?"

"Here!" everyone replied, "Rapid Head and the others are watching over there!"

"Hey!" When Wang Zhengnan saw this, he immediately stepped forward to stop him, "Xifeng, don't rush in blindly! Brother Dao is not at home, so keep a low profile! Keep a low profile!"

Having said that, Li Zhengxi's heart was anxious and his brain was hot, and his energy and blood were rising. His whole body was like a bullet being fired. He had to hit something to stop his violent temper. At that moment, he refused to listen to advice and refused to be stopped. Even if there was a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire in front of him, he had no hesitation at this moment!

Seeing the west wind blowing away, Wang Zhengnan stood at the door, in a dilemma, then turned around and shouted: "Brother Dong, why don't you go over and persuade me?"

Zhang Zhengdong shook his head: "My sister-in-law is at home, I can't leave."

Wang Zhengnan stamped his feet anxiously and sighed: "Then I'll go after him! Brother Dong, go upstairs and inform my sister-in-law!"

After that, he asked Yuan Xinfa and others to guard the door, and he ordered two brothers to accompany him, and ran out together to catch up with Xifeng and others.

After Nanfeng left, Zhang Zhengdong turned around calmly. Although the expression on his face was helpless, the steps under his feet were not messy.

He walked into the mansion, climbed the stairs slowly and leisurely, and came to the door of his sister-in-law's room.

At this time, Hu Xiaoyan was sitting in a wheelchair, with her back to the door and the window, looking down at the house downstairs.

Her expression was very indifferent, as if she knew everything about what had happened, what was happening now, and what was going to happen.

Zhang Zhengdong cleared his throat and asked in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, don't you really need to persuade Xifeng?"

Hu Xiaoyan did not look back, but looked steadily out the window and said, "Dongfeng, what would your brother do if he were at home?"

"This...sister-in-law, I don't know either."

"Tell me what you think."

"Brother Dao, you might be able to endure it for a while! But -" Zhang Zhengdong thought for a while and said, "I probably won't be silent... I'll probably make some noise and respond like the time at the izakaya."

"Yes." Hu Xiaoyan nodded, and then asked, "So, is your brother at home now or not?"

Zhang Zhengdong was stunned - Brother Dao, of course he is "at home"!
So, Hu Xiaoyan turned her wheelchair, turned sideways and said, "The men were inserted in the Dongyang Annex, but they came all the way to the edge of the river. They didn't want to run away, they just wanted to take a look. If there is no movement at all, our family’s reaction will be in vain.”

Zhang Zhengdong could not refute, but said in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, I'm afraid that Xifeng is too impulsive."

"If he wasn't impulsive, he wouldn't be Zephyr."

Zhang Zhengdong was silent.

He didn't understand why he didn't forcibly dissuade Xifeng since he knew that he was violent.

Of course Hu Xiaoyan would not say it clearly.

In the past, when she treated Si Fengkou and Xiaohua, she was considerate and caring. The elder sister-in-law is better than the mother, not just in words.

However, as the saying goes, circumstances change.

As Jiang Lianheng's family business grew and his daughter Jiang Ya was born, Hu Xiaoyan no longer had the time and energy she had in the past to maintain the relationship with these little fans, let alone any extraneous things. Emotions, to care for their sorrows and joys.

Just like when an old man treats his grandchildren, he only loves the one they brought up, so Hu Xiaoyan also "only" loves Si Fengkou and Xiaohua.

As for the other little beggars, to her now, they are just a few names, or even a series of cold numbers.

But Hu Xiaoyan still values ​​them very much and is willing to paint a dreamlike and colorful world for them.

In this great dream of rivers and lakes, is the word "righteousness" more important than mountains? Is the word "profit" lighter than a hair?
It is true that people are divided into early maturers and late maturers, but late maturers running on the edge of a knife may not be able to wait until the day of late maturity.

As long as they are willing to believe that this Jianghu dream is real, the Jiang family will have endless loyalty.

For this reason, Hu Xiaoyan needs Li Zhengxi's "truth" and uses his "truth" to fulfill the dreams of the loopholes.

Of course, the world cannot be without morality, but if anyone really regards morality as the top priority, he will never be able to take it as his own.

Every time she thinks of this, Hu Xiaoyan can't help but sigh: West Wind! Alas, west wind!
"That's it!" She turned her face and looked out the window, "Those four little fans didn't die in vain. At least, they took out the 'cannon head' of Na Min and the others. Moreover, I will also avenge them. ,but not now."

Zhang Zhengdong muttered, but then asked: "Sister-in-law, is Xifeng really going to be okay?"

"He is just impatient and fierce, and he is not a fool. With Nanfeng by his side to remind him, he can figure it out." Even so, Hu Xiaoyan was a little unsure, so she added, "If he really goes out of his way, , just give him a hand.”

"I understand." Zhang Zhengdong nodded, then turned and left the room.

At this time, Jiang Ya suddenly came over, tugged at the corner of Hu Xiaoyan's clothes twice, pointed out the window and shouted: "Mom! Look, the flowers!"

Hu Xiaoyan frowned and looked up out of the window.

But in the house, a spring breeze suddenly blew in, and the petals on the branches blew up one after another, and then slowly fell to the ground.

And those spring flowers surrounded by new buds, because they have roots, have temporarily escaped the fate of withering, for the time being.
