Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 485
His younger brother's future is in his own hands. Li Xin never asked Li Ming to be admitted as a scholar, and to stand out from others.

She only had the purest concern for Li Ming.

Li Xin just laughed off Aunt Wei's words, but now she is more concerned about Guan Wen.

Dusk is approaching, sprinkle a piece of golden yellow.

But Guan Wen still didn't come back.

At the old juncture, he was dragging his legs and walking in the yard, Guan Wu was supporting him, and the grandpa and grandson spoke a few words from time to time.

A-mei was talking with Aunt Wei and doing needlework by the way.Aunt Wei is old and her eyesight is not good, but she is just looking at the movements of Amei's hands with vain eyes, which makes Amei work much slower than usual.

Xing'er looked at Yang'er and Xiaokang laughing, sat with Li Xin, and occasionally said a few words to distract Li Xin's attention.

She felt a little distressed seeing Li Xin looking so hopeless.

Feng Defa came up from the slope, and Li Xin stood up all of a sudden.

Feng Defa shook his head slightly: "I didn't see Brother Guan coming back."

Li Xin immediately lowered his head in disappointment, sat down again, and bit his lower lip.

"It's all over..."

Guan Wen left early in the morning, and no matter how late he was, he would not have come back even now.He clearly knew that Li Xin was very worried - Li Xin's face was almost pale when he left.

"Sister-in-law..." Xing'er looked at her worriedly: "Wait a little longer..."

Li Xin stood up suddenly: "I'll wait at the entrance of the village."

"At this time... sister-in-law!"

Xing'er was still waiting to be persuaded, but Li Xin had already strode down towards the slope, Feng Defa quickly chased after her, not far from Li Xin, and said, "Sister Guan, I will wait with you... ..."

Li Xin nodded quickly, and walked towards the entrance of the village like a wind blowing under her feet.

The big oak tree at the entrance of the village is lonely, and no one gathers under it to gamble and play games at the moment, making this place seem a bit desolate.

Li Xin folded his arms, staring at the yellow-soiled avenue at the entrance of the village, and suddenly complained to himself: Why didn't you go with Guan Wen this morning?

If we go together, at least we can know what happened to him, and we don't have to wait so anxiously...

Feng Defa looked at Li Xin, then at the entrance of the village, leaning his back against the big oak tree and lowering his head slightly.

It's getting dark, if there is no man to accompany Mrs. Guan, what if she meets Deng Tuzi?
Feng Defa also became a little anxious - where did Brother Guan go?Sister-in-law Guan was never like this before, anxiously waiting at the entrance of the village.

While thinking, she suddenly heard Mrs. Guan shout: "Ah Wen!"

Feng Defa hurriedly looked towards the entrance of the village.

The clattering of the horse's hooves gradually approached, and the sound echoed more and more hollowly. After Li Xin's shout, Guan Wen's slightly weak voice sounded: "I am here."

Li Xin ran forward in three steps at a time, but Guan Wen fell off his horse.

"Awen!"

Li Xin rushed towards him immediately, and Feng Defa quickly grabbed the horse's rein.

Guan Wen came back on a horse, this scene really shocked Feng Defa.

"My horse riding skills are not very good..." Guan Wen smiled bitterly: "Ah... Xiner, please slow down, my leg... seems to be a little broken."

"you……"

Li Xin carefully put his arms around his chest and back and helped him stand up. Guan Wen raised one foot and gasped for breath. Then he smiled at Li Xin and said, "Come pick me up at the entrance of the village?"

Li Xin responded with a "hmm" and patted Guan Wen's upturned leg carefully, and even dared not touch it, and patted off the dust on it.

"Brother Guan, are you alright?"

Feng Defa took the reins of the horse and turned to ask Guan Wen.It was only then that Guan Wen noticed that Feng Defa was there, he was stunned for a moment and said, "Brother Feng is here too...then please help me get on the horse and lead the horse back."

"This horse..." Feng Defa touched the horse's mane: "I have never seen such a tall horse..."

Guan Wen smiled in a daze, and motioned Feng Defa to put him on the horse.

Li Xin stood beside the horse and looked at him worriedly: "Are you all right?"

"It's all right."

Feng Defa led the horse, and Li Xin walked beside the horse, turning his head to look at Guan Wen from time to time.

Guan Wen seemed to be asleep—to be exact, he was closing his eyes and resting his mind, as if he was very tired.Even though the horse was moving slowly and at a constant speed, he was still breathing heavily as if he had run a long way.

When he arrived at the slope, Feng Defa directly dragged his horse up the slope.

Guan Wu exclaimed, stepped forward to help Feng Defa, helped Guan Wen down, and carried him to the main room.

Yang'er and Xiaokang circled around the sudden appearance of the behemoth, and ran to the main room one after another, where Xing'er and Li Xin scolded them to go to sleep.

Aunt Wei had already gone to bed, and she also fell asleep at the last minute. A-mei took Yang'er and Xiaokang to wash up and go to bed. Only Guan Wen and Guan Wu were left in the main room.

"What's going on?" Guan Wu asked in astonishment, "Brother, have you gone to the town to buy horses?"

Xing'er immediately glared at Guan Wu, and said angrily, "Brother went to the yamen!"

"Oh yes, I know about this..." Guan Wu scratched his head: "But... how do I get a horse back?"

Guan Wenchang let out a sigh of relief: "It was given by someone else."

"Who sent it?"

Guan Wen licked his lips, Li Xin hurriedly handed water to his mouth, Guan Wen took it and drank it down, sighed and said, "It's hard to say."

Li Xin sat down and shifted his gaze to Guan Wen's lap: "What's wrong with your leg?"

Guan Wen reached out and patted that good leg, and said, "I fell down on the road."

"Ah Wen..." Li Xin frowned and looked at him: "How can I believe such a statement?"

Xing'er looked at Guan Wen, then at Li Xin, pulled Guan Wu and said, "I'm sleepy, let's go back and rest."

As he spoke, he dragged Guan Wu out of the main room involuntarily, and Guan Wu's puzzled words of "I left before asking what I was doing" drifted into the air.

The two of them looked at each other, and Li Xin forced Guan Wen not to avoid her gaze.

After a long time, Guan Wen let out a long sigh, stood up on the stool and said, "Xin'er, let's go back to the room and talk."

The shading lamp was turned on in the room, Guan Wen stared at the slightly flickering light of the candle and said calmly: "I just discovered today that sometimes, we can live a peaceful life if we don't want to live a peaceful one."

Li Xin removed the cover and flicked the wick. Hearing this, his hands paused, he put the cover back and looked back at Guan Wen: "What did the magistrate do to you?"

Guan Wen smiled mockingly, shook his head slightly and said, "It's just questioning me for several hours, asking me what else I heard that night, and asking me why those thieves lived in the empty yard of the old house."

Li Xin frowned suddenly, and his voice was a little sharp: "I made it clear that it has nothing to do with you!"

Guan Wen shrugged his shoulders: "The county magistrate can't get anything out of those thieves' mouths, and even Second Sister Qiao only knows, so he can only ask me."

"Is this plausible!"

"Yes, it's just that outrageous." Guan Wen raised his head and looked at Li Xin: "People don't fight with officials, and officials and businessmen collude...how can we ordinary people be able to resist?"

Li Xin looked at Guan Wen in surprise: "Ah Wen, you..."

"Xin'er, I just realized a truth." Guan Wen pulled Li Xin and looked straight at her: "In this world, if you want to live a normal life, it's best not to provoke anything. Once you are provoked, you will not be able to live an ordinary life. Then, unless you are powerful, or rich, or powerful...otherwise you will always be trampled under your feet."

Li Xin muttered in a daze: "Awen..."

"That's the most realistic thing."

Guan Wen let go of his hand gently, and repeated Li Xin's movements to uncover the cover, flipped the wick to make the light brighter, then put the cover back, stared at the glowing place, his eyes became hazy.

"Do you know Xin'er, the county magistrate interrogated me for several hours, but Lu Butou didn't come to help me say a word. After the county magistrate interrogated me, another master came to interrogate him - he still has two points of friendship with Sun Hongyan, Those who knew that I had a close relationship with Sun Hongyan. Then a few yamen servants, and finally Lu Butou said, I will tell you everything I know."

Guan Wen paused, and said: "They didn't believe it. I only heard a woman's scream that night. They thought that if I heard a woman's scream in the middle of the night, it would be absolutely impossible for me to fall asleep again. "

Li Xin squatted in front of Guan Wen, reached out to hug his leg, and put her head on his lap.

Guan Wen stroked her hair and said, "Later, the magistrate lost patience and spent so much time without getting anything, so he got angry and kicked me."

Guan Wen seemed to be talking about other people's affairs in a flat manner: "I dragged my legs and limped out of the county office. I turned a street and saw Master Xue riding by. Seeing me like this, he said to send me off. I went to get a doctor. I said I would go back when it was dark, and he said he would call the carriage for me. The person next to him reminded him that he seemed to have something important to do, so Master Xue asked me apologetically if I knew how to ride a horse. I didn’t want to bother him, so I said yes, and he left the horse for me before leaving in a hurry.”

Guan Wen lightly raised Li Xin's chin and said, "This is the warmth and coldness of human relationships. Without interests involved, we may be good brothers and friends. But with interests involved, friends may become enemies."

Guan Wen sighed: "Xin'er, we have fallen into the mud, we will either sink to the bottom of the mud, or get out of the mud, no longer bound by the mud. Power and wealth, I always want to get the same, Be the capital of my life."

"Ah Wen..." Li Xin stared at him closely, "What... do you mean?"

Guan Wen smiled at her: "It doesn't mean anything else, it's just that I figured it out."

Guan Wendao: "The county magistrate may not let me go. I'm afraid it won't be peaceful during this time. But that's not the most important thing."

Guan Wen stretched out his hand and led Li Xin to sit beside him. He hugged her and said, "The most important thing is that I am safe now. Xiner, you are frightened."

Li Xin felt wronged and wanted to cry.

She shed a tear, which seemed to burn Guan Wen's hand.Guan Wen trembled all over, hugged Li Xin and said, "I want our family to become richer. When we are so rich in Hui County, no one will dare to play our crooked ideas. This promise, I make to you 20 years."

Guan Wen said: "I will spend 20 years to make our children and grandchildren worry-free."
