Seeing Xiao Chen's reaction, Ning Kejun and the others looked at the courtyard in front of them, and had a vague guess in their hearts.
Xiao Lin also looked at Xiao Chen, this kid is very emotional, maybe... he can let go of his hatred and return to the Xiao family.
"Uncle Qi, this place...has been empty all this time?"
Xiao Chen took a deep breath to calm himself down, and asked slowly.
"Well, it's always empty."
Xiao Lin nodded.
"Let's go, I'll take you in and have a look."
"it is good."
Xiao Chen agreed and followed Xiao Lin to go inside.
The vermilion gate was pushed open, revealing the courtyard inside, which was not small, with two big trees on one left and one right.
Xiao Chen walked in slowly, his eyes fell on the two trees, and pictures appeared in his mind.
Back then...he liked to play under these two big trees.
"Remember? When you climbed to the top of the tree, fell... and got injured."
Xiao Lin noticed his gaze, pointed to the top of a big tree on the left, and said with a smile.
Hearing Xiao Lin's words, Xiao Chen nodded slowly.
He raised his arm, where there was a barely visible scar from a fall from a tree.
For so many years, he has ignored this scar and forgotten these things.
In other words, he intentionally sealed up these memories and didn't want to remember them again.
But after hearing Xiao Lin's words, he subconsciously raised his arms. It turned out that he hadn't forgotten everything.
Xiao Chen looked at the scar and showed a smile. At that time, he should be the most carefree, right?
Then, he looked elsewhere. The yard was very clean, not even fallen leaves.
And it doesn't look dilapidated, there should be someone looking after it and cleaning it.
"The place has been empty all these years, and I just thought that one day...you will come back."
Xiao Lin looked at Xiao Chen and said slowly.
Xiao Chen withdrew his gaze and looked at Xiao Lin: "Uncle Qi, thank you."
"Thank you for what I did, it was you...he did it."
Xiao Lin waved his hand, he really wanted to say 'your dad', but he was afraid that Xiao Chen would be disgusted, so he had to change it to 'him'.
"You also know that your seventh uncle runs around all day long. If he has this heart, he can't take care of him... He made the arrangement. Someone will come to clean up every day, and he hasn't damaged any place. When he is with you, Exactly the same."
Xiao Chen was silent, why was he?
"Oh, by the way, Xiaoyu's mother also often comes over to clean up."
Xiao Lin thought of something and said again.
Hearing this, Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Yu and nodded.
"I've been here a few times with my mom and she won't let me touch anything here..."
Seeing Xiao Chen looking at him, Xiao Yu said.
"Xiaobai, aren't brother Chen and Xiao Yu biological brothers? What's the situation?"
Listening to their conversation, Sun Wugong asked in a low voice.
"Brothers are right, but half-brothers."
Bai Ye replied in a low voice, this is what he also learned from Xiao Yu.
He knows the most about Xiao Chen's affairs.
It wasn't Xiao Chen who told him, but when Xiao Yu went to Longhai, he got Xiao Yu drunk and learned from Xiao Yu.
"So that's how it is."
Sun Wugong nodded.
"Then... where's Brother Chen's mother? I just saw his father."
Bai Ye shook his head and didn't say much.
Sun Wugong was surprised, seeing that Bai Ye didn't say anything, he didn't ask any more questions.
Xiao Chen didn't stay in the yard for too long, he pushed open the door and walked in.
In the house, everything can overlap with what Xiao Chen remembers.
Xiao Chen looked at everything in front of him, and felt a little complicated in his heart, why?
If Xiao Sheng's performance today surprised him and made him incomprehensible... then what he saw in front of him made him even more incomprehensible.
Today, Xiao Sheng's defense of him can also be interpreted as seeing that he is very strong, and he wants to improve the relationship with him.
But... how to explain everything in front of me?
These are all deceitful.
He always felt that he was insignificant in Xiao Sheng's heart, and he didn't care about his own life or death.
Now it seems... maybe not quite.
In other words, there is something he doesn't know.
"Xiao Chen, what happened back then was not as simple as you imagined..."
Xiao Lin looked at Xiao Chen, vaguely guessing what was going on in his mind, and said slowly.
"you know?"
Xiao Chen turned his head and asked.
Xiao Lin smiled wryly and shook his head.
He knows something, but...can't say it.
Xiao Chen didn't think much about it, it seemed that there was something that he didn't know about.
Maybe it's time to talk to him sometime.
"Sister Fairy, Ling'er, Xiaobai, sit down wherever you want."
After Xiao Chen looked around, he stopped thinking about it and said to them.
"it is good."
Ning Kejun nodded and looked at everything in the house. Is this the place where he lived when he was a child?
"Wait a while, I'll arrange a few servant girls to come over and take care of your daily life."
Xiao Lin said again.
"Maid?"
Hearing Xiao Lin's words, Bai Ye's eyes widened. What age is it? Are you still a maid?
As for the babysitter, yes.
There is plenty in the Bai family, and you can also be used as a maid and let her do anything, but she won't be called that!
"Ok."
Xiao Lin nodded.
"After all, the world of ancient martial arts is different from the common world. Some things still exist... Like the families in the town, they are rushing to send their daughters to Xiao's house."
"Ok."
Bai Ye felt a little unbelievable, it seems that in this three-acre land, the Xiao family is heaven!
"There are a few rooms over there, you can allocate them yourself later, Xiao Chen, your room is also there, and the bedding is all new."
Xiao Lin said to Xiao Chen again.
"it is good."
Xiao Chen nodded, it seemed that he was really going to stay in Xiao's house for a few days.
I don't know what kind of satisfactory explanation Xiao Yi will give himself.
"By the way, come with me to the back mountain sometime."
Xiao Chen thought of something, looked at Xiao Lin, and said.
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Xiao Lin was startled, and then agreed: "Okay."
Just as they were talking, there was a sound of footsteps.
Xiao Chen turned his head to look, and when his eyes fell on the leading woman, he couldn't help being startled.
"Mother."
When Xiao Yu saw the person coming, he stepped forward quickly.
"Ok."
The woman nodded, it was Xiao Yu's mother who came.
"sister in law."
Xiao Lin also said hello.
"Well, I heard that Xiaochen is back, so I came here to take a look... I thought there was no one here to serve me, so I even brought a few maids here."
The woman smiled and looked at Xiao Chen.
"Xiaochen, I haven't seen you for many years, you've grown up so much..."
"Aunt."
Xiao Chen hesitated, but still called out.
Hearing Xiao Chen's name, the woman's smile became wider: "I heard from Xiao Yu that you saved him several times...Xiao Chen, thank you, auntie."
"It's nothing, he's my brother."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"Ok."
A look of relief flashed in the woman's eyes. The grievances and grievances of the past... the harmony between the two brothers is better than anything else.
"This is the head of Feiyunfang, Fairy Ning, right?"
The woman looked at Mr. Ning Ke, who was covered in white gauze, very politely.
Although it was rumored that Ning Kejun had an unusual relationship with Xiao Chen, her own identity should not be underestimated.
"Mrs. Xiao, hello."
Ning Kejun nodded and greeted the woman.
After a few pleasantries, the woman directed the maid to make tea, and then arranged rooms for Xiao Chen and the others.
Although it is cleaned every day, if you want to live here, you still need to clean it up.
"Xiaochen, how is your injury?"
After making arrangements, Xiao Lin looked at Xiao Chen and asked.
"It's nothing serious, just wait for a rest."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"Uncle Qi, what kind of explanation do you think the old man will give me?"
"have no idea."
Xiao Lin shook his head.
"I'm not familiar with him, I don't understand."
"Then there are no legends about him? Anyway, he is also an innate master."
Xiao Chen felt that he should know more about Xiao Yi, so as not to suffer in the next contact.
Although he has some guesses, guesses are guesses after all.
"Yes, but that was all many years ago... Don't think too much, since he said he would give you a satisfactory explanation, he will definitely not let them go lightly."
Xiao Lin patted Xiao Chen's shoulder.
"Okay, you have a good rest, I'll go to the conference hall to see, if there is any news, I'll let you know."
"it is good."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"For Houshan... I will accompany you tomorrow."
Xiao Lin thought for a while and said.
"If you're bored staying here, you can visit Xiao's house, Xiao Yu is there anyway."
"I see, you go and do your work, don't worry about me."
Xiao Chen said to Xiao Lin.
"Old Qi, if you have something to do, go and do it first. Since Xiaochen is back, I will make arrangements here."
The woman also spoke.
"Well, sorry for the trouble, sister-in-law."
Xiao Lin nodded and left the courtyard.
"Xiaochen, do you still hate your father?"
The woman looked at Xiao Chen and asked softly.
"I've heard about what happened just now."
"Some things are not so easy to let go."
Xiao Chen said slowly.
"Auntie, I'm a little tired and want to rest."
"Okay, then you should have a good rest first, have you brought your clothes? How about I send some clothes over later?"
Women also know that some things cannot be rushed for a while.
"No, I brought it, thank you, auntie."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"Okay, then you all have a good rest first, and if you have anything to do, tell the servant girl to do it."
The woman nodded and got up to leave.
"Mother, I will send you off..."
Xiao Yu wanted to send it off.
"No, you can stay here. After all, your elder brother hasn't come back for many years. It's more convenient for you to accompany you when you go out and come in."
After the woman finished speaking to Xiao Yu, she left.
Xiao Chen looked at the back of the woman, and there was a flash of complexity in his eyes.
Back then... this woman was there too.
Although, what happened back then has nothing to do with this woman, it's just that someone used her.
However, he didn't intend to take his anger out on her either.
If there is a grievance and a debtor, he will settle the account with the person who should settle the account.
"Brother, are you... Are you also blaming my mother?"
Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Chen and asked in a low voice.
Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Xiao Chen looked at him: "Hehe, don't think about it, I just want to take a break... Also, I don't have much to talk about with your mother. I feel that if we continue talking, she will ask me when get married."
"hehe."
Hearing this, Xiao Yu couldn't help laughing, and felt relieved, as long as the elder brother doesn't resent his mother.

good night~
