In about half an hour, the news spread.
Xiao Sheng is no longer the head of the Xiao family, Xiao Lin is the new head!
As soon as the news came out, the Xiao family was shocked.
After all... In the eyes of most people, the head of the Xiao family is the heaven of the Xiao family!
Now, the sky has changed!
Apart from the Xiao family disciples, the disciples of all halls were also talking about it, and they didn't understand why the Patriarch suddenly changed!
Including the small town under Xiaoshan, there was a lot of turmoil because of this news!
Nan Gongliang, Yang Mu and others who were still in the Xiao family were also a little surprised. How could the Xiao family's sky change overnight?
If they didn't know that Xiao Lin and Xiao Sheng had a very good relationship, they would have to guess whether the Xiao family was in chaos and a power seizure happened!
"Senior Nangong, Elder Yang, please stay for two more days to be a witness..."
Xiao Sheng came to find Nan Gongliang, Yang Mu and others in person, and asked them to stay to be a witness for Xiao Lin's superiority!
Apart from them, Xiao Lin didn't plan to call anyone else to witness, after all, the current status of the Xiao family was a bit embarrassing!
Of course, the news still has to spread.
"Patriarch Xiao..."
Nan Gongliang looked at Xiao Sheng, wanting to ask something.
"Senior Nangong, just call me Xiao Sheng, I am no longer the Patriarch of the Xiao Family."
Xiao Sheng said to Nan Gongliang.
Hearing this, Nan Gongliang nodded: "Xiao Sheng, why did the Xiao family change their head?"
"One is that a lot of things have happened to the Xiao family recently. As the head of the family, I have an unshirkable responsibility; the other is that I have other things to do, and Xiao Lin is also very good, so let him be the head of the Xiao family. .”
Xiao Sheng simply explained.
"Of course, Xiao Lin's appointment as Patriarch was decided by the Clan Elders' Association, and all clan elders unanimously agreed, including the patriarch. He also believed in Xiao Lin's ability."
Seeing what Xiao Sheng said, Nangong Liang nodded, and didn't say anything more.
After all, he is not from the Xiao family, and whether the Xiao family changes its head or not has nothing to do with him.
After a short discussion, Nan Gongliang, Yang Mu and others decided to stay for two more days to be a witness for Xiao Lin!
Seeing that they agreed, Xiao Sheng didn't stay for too long, and left in a hurry.
In the next few days, he will be very busy, and so will the Xiao family.
After all, this is a change of owner, nothing else.
At the same time, Xiao Chen also took people down the mountain and came to the small town.
Ning Kejun and Nan Gongling didn't come, they were called away by Xiao Yu's mother.
"Brother, do you see that the town has changed a lot?"
Xiao Yu followed, one was to stay on the mountain to be bored, and the other was to be a guide.
"Well, it's changed a lot."
Xiao Chen looked around and nodded.
"This is the real ancient town. Those tourist ancient towns are meaningless."
Bai Ye is also quite interested in this town.
"Brother Chen, this can be regarded as a paradise-like existence, right?"
"For them, yes."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"The people here should still live a life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset, living a very simple and relaxed life."
"so good."
After Bai Ye finished speaking, what did he think of.
"Is there no internet here?"
"There are none in town."
Xiao Yu shook his head.
"Smartphones are rare."
"Huh? Why?"
Bai Ye is strange.
"Because the Xiao family just wants them to live a simple life. How many people will be content with the current peaceful life after seeing the outside world? Here, the Xiao family is their heaven, and they have no access to the outside world."
Xiao Chen said lightly.
"Ah? What's the point of that? Isn't this...to control them?"
Bai Ye frowned.
"Hehe, didn't you say 'that's great' just now?"
Xiao Chen looked at Bai Ye and asked with a smile.
"Eh... I think this life is very good, but there is no internet..."
When Bai Ye said this, he was a bit speechless.
Is it bad without internet?
For the people here, it doesn't matter what the Internet is or not, right?
Only those who come from big cities will feel that life is meaningless without the Internet.
So, at this moment, Bai Ye didn't know whether to envy them or not.
"If you don't know the outside world, you will feel at ease here... For them, living an ordinary life is a kind of happiness."
Hao Jian said, Jianshan also has such an affiliated town.
"Too."
Bai Ye looked at Hao Jian and nodded.
"Let's go."
Xiao Chen walked forward slowly, he came to the town to find someone.
"Master."
When people in the town saw Xiao Yu, they all stopped and greeted him respectfully.
Bai Ye had only seen this kind of scene in those costume movies, and it was a bit familiar, but also a bit awkward.
Although he is also treated like this in the Bai family, the two are still different in comparison.
"Master."
Suddenly, someone spoke to Xiao Chen and even bent down.
Xiao Chen was taken aback, Eldest Young Master?
"Young master, you don't know the little old man anymore? When you were here, you would often come to the town... When you came back two days ago, the little old man saw you, but he didn't dare to say hello."
The person who spoke was an old man, in his sixties, with a pretty good complexion.
"Uncle Wang?"
Xiao Chen sized him up a few times and finally recognized him.
Seeing that Xiao Chen recognized him, the old man was a little excited: "That's right, it's me. I really didn't expect the young master to remember the little old man..."
"Uncle Wang, hehe, I didn't expect to see you."
Xiao Chen also laughed, he also has many acquaintances in the town.
Just like what the old man said just now, when he was here, he would often come to the town to play... After all, there are no outsiders in Xiaoshan except for the children of the Xiao family, so it is far less fun than in the town.
"Hehe, the little old man didn't expect that after so many years, you... are so old!"
The old man nodded.
"If it wasn't for what you said that day, I wouldn't dare to admit it."
"Well, I haven't been back for many years..."
Xiao Chen smiled and exchanged greetings with the old man.
While they were talking, many people came over to say hello to Xiao Chen.
Although they were all very respectful, Xiao Chen was not used to it, but it made him feel a little more friendly.
He recalled his childhood memories, and the obviously older faces in front of him matched up with the faces in his memory.
It was also at this moment that he felt a little more of a sense of belonging here.
This is where he grew up and is his home.
And this sense of belonging, after he came to Xiao's house, he rarely had it except in that courtyard.
After some pleasantries, Xiao Chen left.
Before leaving, he told them that he would treat them to dinner at noon, at the best restaurant in town.
The old man and the others nodded with a smile, and they also wanted to have a good chat with the young master who had been away from home for many years.
"Brother, since you came to Xiao's house, I have never seen you so happy."
Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Chen and said.
"Hehe, I didn't expect to meet so many acquaintances."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Uncle Wang asked me about you before...they haven't forgotten about you."
Xiao Yu looked back and said to Xiao Chen.
"After all... someone still remembers me."
Xiao Chen was in a complicated mood.
Ten minutes later, they came to a house.
Xiao Chen took a look. He used to come here often, but it was a bit dilapidated before, but now it has been well repaired.
This is the nanny's house.
Her child is gone, but the man is still there.
Xiao Chen went down the mountain because he wanted to meet this man.
"I'll knock on the door."
Xiao Yu said, stepped forward and knocked on the door.
Soon, the door opened and a woman came out.
When she saw so many people standing outside, she couldn't help being taken aback.
But soon, she recognized Xiao Yu, and quickly showed respect: "I have seen the young master."
"Well, we're here to find..."
Xiao Yu nodded and looked at Xiao Chen, he really didn't know who to look for.
Xiao Chen looked at this woman, and had a vague guess about her identity in his heart.
"I'm looking for Chen Ze."
"This is my big brother."
Xiao Yu introduced a sentence.
Hearing Xiao Yu's words, the woman was startled, then thought of something, and hurriedly bent down: "I have seen the young master..."
In the past two days, there have been many discussions about Xiao Chen in the town, and she has heard of it.
She did not expect that Xiao Chen would appear outside her house.
"Well, is Chen Ze at home?"
Xiao Chen nodded and asked.
Probably because they heard the movement, a man in his fifties came out of it.
When he saw Xiao Chen, he was taken aback for a moment, then recognized him, and walked a few steps quickly: "Master, why are you here?"
"Uncle Chen."
Xiao Chen looked at the man and smiled.
"I'll come and see you."
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, the man was a little flattered: "Young Master, please come in quickly..."
"it is good."
Xiao Chen nodded, and led Bai Ye and others inside.
"Go make some tea."
The man said something to the disturbed woman, asking Xiao Chen and the others to sit down.
"Master, please sit down."
"Hehe, I haven't seen you for many years, why is Uncle Chen being so polite to me?"
Xiao Chen looked at the man and said with a smile.
"This……"
The man looked at Xiao Chen and smiled wryly in his heart, could it be the same before and now?
Soon, the woman made tea and poured water.
"Uncle Chen, this aunt is..."
Xiao Chen looked at the woman and asked.
"Ok."
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, the man nodded and seemed a little uneasy.
"Eldest young master, after Honghui left, I..."
"Uncle Chen, you don't need to explain. I can understand. After Aunt Xu left, you can't live alone all the time...Speaking of which, I'm to blame for this. I'm the one who made Aunt Xu tired, so I'm sorry for you."
Xiao Chen looked at the man and said in a deep voice.
"No, no, no, I don't blame you, Young Master, Honghui knows, she knows the danger, but she went anyway, this is her own choice, no one can blame, it's fate."
The man waved his hands hurriedly and said bitterly.
"Uncle Chen, don't worry, I will settle everything that happened back then, including Aunt Xu's grudge. Whoever killed her will be killed by me!"
Xiao Chen said seriously.
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, the man's face changed: "No, young master, you don't need to avenge Honghui... She said that she is willing to do everything, even if it costs her own life! If you can think about her, I will I think she is already very happy... Besides, it is her honor to be buried in the mountain behind the Xiao family."
Xiao Chen frowned, he didn't expect Chen Ze to say that.
He opened his mouth to say something, but... he didn't know what to say.
——
I'm so sorry, good night.
