Hearing that Master Xiu was not his child, Liu San was somewhat disappointed. What was worse was Duan Xiaohe, she had finally experienced how Lady Zhang felt back then.
Unable to bear to see her like this, Liu San held her small face and kissed on her forehead.
She told him clearly what had happened in the past few years, when she told him about Xia Yu having children, the Liu San was silent for a long time. She asked Liu San if she should go and see Xia Yu. Liu San shook her head, "Next time."
"What about your father? Are you going to see him? "
Liu San clenched his fist and shook his head as well.
The news of an unfamiliar man having arrived at Duan Xiaohe's home was immediately spread throughout the village, and there were even several versions of the story. Some said that she had gone and found someone else because she had a falling out with Qin Rui, and some said that she did not have a place to go and wander around, and there were many people who had seen such a big business deal, causing trouble with other people outside.
When people came to clear the well, they would look around the courtyard a few times. Seeing that there was a man helping Duan Xiaohe, they confirmed their suspicions and started to chat casually in front of the courtyard.
Liu San swept his cold eyes over the few chattering people at the door, and walked out with large strides. He wasn't a steamed bun on the battlefield. He walked with steady steps and his imposing manner, coupled with his tall and sturdy stature, caused the few women with chapped lips to be shocked for a moment.
"I'm afraid you've misunderstood. My name is Wen Wu."
Thus, the people of the village all knew that Liu San was truly dead. They also knew that this person in Duan Xiaohe's house was Liu San's good friend that was in the army, and had specially come to take a look.
It was said that those who had fought and died together were people who valued camaraderie the most, so the villagers suddenly had a good impression of this man, and also felt that it was a pity for Liu San's misfortune. All of their faces changed extremely quickly, as if they had never heard such unsightly gossip before.
When the Old Man Liu heard this, he rushed over. His body was not in a good condition right now, so the only thing he could do was to rely on the Widow Li. As soon as he entered the door, Liu San froze on the spot.
In his memory, although his father was a bit older, his body was still considered sturdy. These four years in Fringe City could be said to be as long as a year, but after returning to the Liu Village, seeing this familiar village made him feel as if it was yesterday. Now that he saw his own father looking so old, he almost couldn't control himself and wanted to kneel down on the spot.
These two years, Old Man Liu had always been staying in his room. The light in the room was bad, and he would often think about the matters of the Liu San and silently cry twice.
Although Liu San had trained in the army for four years, his physique was stronger than before, and his back was straighter than before. He no longer looked like the previous Liu San. But Liu San was his biological son. Duan Xiaohe's heart was beating wildly as she looked at Old Man Liu with an anxious expression. She secretly hoped that he would be able to recognize the Liu San.
However, Old Man Liu's eyes did not recognise his son who had changed greatly, and treated him as someone else.
"You are called Wen Wu? "Are you the one who fought with my third brother?"
This name pulled Liu San back from his thoughts and he nodded, "I am a civil warrior."
Old Man Liu wiped his tears, "Third brother of my house, did you bring any message?"
Liu San's heart flipped over as he said in a low voice, "This matter was too sudden, he didn't say anything."
Old Man Liu's body swayed, and he quickly stabilized himself. Old Man Liu took a deep breath and waved his hand. "Forget it, I just hope that he can be born in a rich man's family in his next life, so that this crime won't worsen."
Then, he turned to Duan Xiaohe and asked, "Where's the old man?"
"Today is Xia Yu's day. He is over there accompanying and chatting with you."
Old Man Liu shook his head again, "Forget it. "What about Ascetics?"
Duan Xiaohe said that she left the child at Qian Qiaoqiao's place. She would pick her up in two days. Old Man Liu responded and then took a small stool to sit in the courtyard. After a while, he started to mutter to himself. Widow Li was afraid that the sun would shine on him, hence he asked him to sit inside the hall. Old Man Liu pretended not to hear as he continued to speak in a language that others could not understand.
Liu San felt bad, he told Duan Xiaohe that he would be going out first, and then he rode his horse and ran out.
Duan Xiaohe stood at the door and watched him leave, her heart also feeling very uncomfortable.
Widow Li walked to her side and waved her hand in front of her.
"What are you looking at? I'm already far away."
Duan Xiaohe retracted her gaze and asked her why Little Ruixue did not follow them.
"Never mind." Widow Li pointed to the man who had long disappeared and asked: "You have taken a fancy to him?"
Duan Xiaohe did not speak, she turned and walked away. Widow Li pulled her and looked at her meaningfully.
"All these years, you have only seen two people with that kind of eyes. One was Liu San, the other was this one. Even the Doctor Qin that we have always thought highly of, has not been seen by you in such a way, do you think it would be embarrassing to admit that you have taken a fancy to her? "
Duan Xiaohe's heart stopped, her performance was actually so obvious?
"Actually, the villagers already knew about the Liu San a few years ago. You've also been alone for so many years, you really should think about your own matters. It's just that I don't think this martial art is suitable for you, he still has to go back and fight, what if he's like the Liu San … What are you going to do? I don't think that Qin Rui is that great either. Every now and then, he would disappear and no one knows what kind of secret he's doing. "If you have such thoughts, my younger cousin still hasn't married and is born handsome and beautiful. How about I call you over to meet him?"
She laughed involuntarily, so this was what Widow Li wanted to do.
"No need, I don't intend to remarry."
Widow Li was stunned, "How old are you right now? Are you worried about the baby? This child might not be your problem, but what about the Liu San? Humans, the more relaxed you are, the more comfortable your life will be … "Hey, I'm talking to you!"
Duan Xiaohe didn't wait for Widow Li to finish and left first. Did she need a man right now? Her man is back!
The Old Man Liu stayed at her side for a while before returning. Before he left, he tearfully said to Duan Xiaohe: "You don't believe that Third Brother is dead, but now he has personally come to report it. "Since you're still young, go find a suitable house and don't let Ol 'Three delay you."
Duan Xiaohe felt as if she had something stuck in her throat, she shook her head and did not say anything. Old Man Liu sighed and scolded the silly girl.
After walking two steps, Old Man Liu returned with a walking stick. He said that he would build a memorial grave for Liu San, and would worship and worship it every year.
Just as they left, the Liu San came back. When he came back, he was still holding two pheasants in his hands. He habitually pulled down the tail feathers and stuck them in her hair. His eyes were filled with gentleness.
Liu San did not speak of Old Man Liu at all, and never once did he speak of anyone related to Liu Family. A pretty girl ran in from the doorway, calling for her aunt as she ran. The moment he saw Liu San, he stopped in his tracks as if he was frightened, and looked at him carefully with his little eyes.
Duan Xiaohe laughed and waved her over. The little girl looked at Liu San, then looked at her, and then moved, wishing she could stick to the wall and walk towards her.
"My mother told me to borrow two eggs."
Duan Xiaohe took a small basket and gave it to her, telling her to go pick it out herself. The little girl had always loved eating eggs since she was young. Duan Xiaohe also doted on this child, and would call her over to get them as long as he had some at home.
Liu San had noticed it yesterday. Before he left, the courtyard was still empty, but now they had already raised chickens and ducks, and even had a small garden at the back with a tree as well.
His little wife lived life in such a manner.
Liu San walked over and stood beside her, and asked her if he knew this child was Liu Er's family? Duan Xiaohe nodded, and said that her name was Little Ruixue, and she was the one who gave it to him.
He nodded and said it was nice, but was she the one who picked up the Awareness Cultivation Method? Duan Xiaohe didn't think that she was hiding it from him, she directly said that Qin Rui took this from him. She said that everyone in the village knew that there was no Qin Rui that day. This also meant that the child's suffering should have been completely endured by Xia Yu. Since she had come to this world, then her future life would definitely not be as arduous.
Liu San lived rough lives in the army, although he had mastered many of the words later on, and wrote a lot, and secretly recorded down all the cultured things he heard in his heart, but he was still bored of everything that happened when he got involved with Qin Rui.
Little Ruixue was smart, and with Widow Li's guidance in the past, the eggs inside the chicken coop became small baskets for the little girl. Duan Xiaohe stopped her and asked her how many were in the basket, and he only let her go after she counted correctly.
The little girl pouted and said seven. When she picked it up, it was already counted. Duan Xiaohe counted and confirmed that there were seven, and she took all of them.
Widow Li had been waiting for hshe outside her house, and when she saw his daughter come over, he took the basket from her hands with a smile. Little Ruixue's face was full of excitement, "Mother, I picked up seven this time."
"Good boy." "There are still eggs at home, this is not Widow Li's goal." Is that person still at your aunt's place? "
Little Ruixue nodded, "Yes, I heard him say my father."
Widow Li frowned, "What did he say about your father?"
"He asked Little Aunt if I was Liu Er's family."
Since she was acquainted with the Liu San, then she had naturally heard of Liu Er. There was nothing wrong with her words, Widow Li dragged his daughter home.
When it was almost dark, Duan Xiaohe finally called Liu Da back from the cemetery. Even the Liu San who had seen a lot of's dirty look were secretly shocked. He could not reveal his identity, so he just passed Liu Da a towel.
After Liu Da wiped his face, he stared at Su Yun for a while.
"Little brother."
Liu San's body trembled, then he saw Liu Da shake his head, muttering no no no no, he did not even have time to eat before he entered the house.
After returning to her room, Duan Xiaohe took out all of his clothes from before.
Duan Xiaohe looked at him, "Your father said he wanted to build a memorial grave for you."
