Chapter 27 Family Letter

"Don't you go forward?"
"I can't take action like this little thief..."
Indeed, even the dozens of men who came to love were enough to repel the robbers, not to mention that the general robbers were the only one next to him. As long as he showed his reputation, the robbers would probably retreat without even fighting.
It was exactly like this. Yue Hang stood in front and reported his name, then greeted the other leader for a while, and said something like "What a flood that washed away the Dragon King Temple!" "I didn't expect it to be the team of President Yue, I hope he can forgive me!" and other meaningless nonsense. Then the robbers made a way to let the team pass.
In fact, this result is what Yue Hang hopes most. He doesn't want to spend a lot of money on the people he hired, and he will lose some money before he published Shushan County. What's more, this is a completely avoidable loss.
After solving the little episode of robber blocking the road, Yue Hang came over to explain to Xu Xian, telling him that nothing was wrong and everything was normal.
Yue Hang was afraid that this would scare Xu Xian, a "weak scholar", so he wanted to calm down his heart. He still didn't know that Xu Xian was also a martial arts practitioner with unique skills. If he wanted to fight, Yue Hang might not be his opponent. But Xu Xian was hiding so well, I'm afraid that only Ye Wen knew his background in the entire Shushan or Pingzhou.
As for not talking about the entire Shang Dynasty, this is because Ye Wen suspected that the bandit in Dongzhou was working with Xu Xian in this drama, especially the so-called female bandit leader, who is very likely to know Xu Xian's background.
"But what exactly does these two have to do with each other?"
When he is free, Ye Wen will often think about this problem, but he can't think of it every time. In the end, he can only maliciously guess what unclean relationship these two guys have in private.
"Hmph, what is the famous talent in the world and the peerless handsome man, but not an ordinary person!"
Along the way, Ye Wen spent time in such a complaint, and during the day he paid attention to Xu Xian to see if he had made any special actions. After a few days, he found that Xu Xian didn't seem to be anything abnormal. I'm afraid anyone just thought that this young talented man was going south to study.
At night, Xu Xian would even take out many books to read. Even Liu Qingfeng, who expressed his willingness to protect Xu Xian's safety at night, did not see any clues.
Seeing this situation, Ye Wen guessed that Xu Xian was preparing to make plans when he arrived at the Dongzhou border. After all, this place was still in the Pingzhou border and was too close to his hometown. Even if he really wanted to escape, he would not be able to act here.
After understanding this, Ye Wen no longer kept his nerves. He sat next to the coachman every day to look at the scenery, and occasionally got off the car and walked for a while to exercise his body. When he was resting at night, he would meditate and practice his internal skills. He did not dare to relax at all because he practiced his internal skills, because practicing his internal skills was like sailing against the current and not advancing. If he didn't practice for a few days, he might have finally achieved a small internal skills back to the realm of learning the Quanzhen Heart Method.
However, the progress of the past two days made him unexpectedly realize that his internal strength had not regressed, but there were vague signs of improvement, but it was very insignificant.
"Strange, I used to think that I was talented and so I was so quick to practice. Isn't that the case?"
If we speculate based on normal circumstances, he has only been practicing the Quanzhen Heart Method for less than half a year, even if he enters the country very quickly, it is logically half of Guo Jing, who has just left the desert in the Legend of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, is even worse than that.
But he found that his current level should be no less than that of Guo Jing in that period in the book. Is this because his physique is different from ordinary people or because of other reasons, it is quite difficult to figure it out in a short period of time. He may have to wait until his Shushan faction has stabilized before he has time to study it slowly.
What's more, before that, he had another thing to do, that is, he had to send the letter from Aunt Zhao to him first.
After several days of rushing, Xu Xian's team came to Linshan County, the only way to go south. The county where Aunt Zhao's sister lives is a town that is much more prosperous than Shushan County. This is because people from south to south have to pass here, so this place is much better developed than that of Shushan County, which is nothing special.
After the team stayed in the inn and arranged their residence, Ye Wen greeted Yue Hang and prepared to leave the team with Aunt Zhao's letter for a while.
President Yue did not ask much about his need to leave the team alone to deal with some things, but just asked whether he needed to bring a few people or something.
"It's nothing, it's just that people in the gang send a letter to their home!"
After hearing Ye Wen's answer, Yue Hang understood that it was indeed a trivial matter. He was not polite to him, so he nodded with a smile and did not ask anything more. He didn't even ask when he would return.
On the contrary, Liu Qingfeng's little apprentice Zhao Heng whispered: "My brothers and masters are here to help the boxing, but they are here day and night. He, who has received the commission, is wandering around..." The following words were not said, as if they were interrupted by his senior brother Liu Mo.
Although these words were not loud, there were still a few people who heard them, such as President Yue's head and Gongsun Mu, Xu Xian, who was sitting by the side drinking water to rest, everyone could hear them clearly.
Even though Ye Wenli was a little farther away, with his internal strength, these words could not escape his ears. But he didn't care about these things at all. Zhao Heng looked down on him since he met. Could it be that he still hoped to hear something good from this person?
"Just just bark like a dog!"
After saying hello to Yue Hang, Ye Wen turned around and left the inn, then followed the address that Aunt Zhao told him, and fumbled and searched while inquiring.
Soon, Ye Wen came to a house, but the scene in front of him seemed to be somewhat different from what Aunt Zhao said to him. According to Aunt Zhao's description, her sister seemed to marry a man who did small business in Linshan County. Although she was not a wealthy family, she lived a good life and even helped Aunt Zhao, who was in trouble.
But the family in front of me...
"It seems that something has happened to me. No wonder I haven't contacted Aunt Zhao for a long time."
With a gentle touch, the wooden board that looked like a decoration more than a door creaked and squatted to the side. Ye Wen frowned. He wondered if he used more force, the wooden board would hit the ground directly with a touch. He couldn't knock on such a door at all. Maybe it would be better to walk in a few steps and shout a few times?
Just as he was about to walk in, an old lady next to him who seemed to be passing by suddenly stopped. She looked at Ye Wen and seemed to be going in, so she asked, "Young Master, are you here to find a girl from the Zhou family?"
"Zhou? Oh, by the way, Aunt Zhao's sister did marry a surname named Zhou!" But he was not sure that this family was looking for him, so he asked, "Auntie, does this mistress have an older sister in Shushan County?"
The old lady thought for a moment after hearing this, and finally replied: "It seems that the girl from the Zhou family does have an older sister in Shushan County. Are you from Shushan County?"
"I have a letter from her sister who passed by Linshan County, so I brought it here!"
"Oh! I remembered that when you said that, the Zhou girl does often communicate with her sister in Shushan County, and I have heard from her about this... However, the Zhou girl is afraid that she can't reply to the letter now."
Ye Wen frowned. It seemed that something was indeed happening to this family.
Before he could ask, the old lady said nothing more: "Oh, it's so bad for money! The Zhou brothers have become obsessed with money and their family has changed! Not only have they lost all their business and savings, but now they still have a lot of debts. A few months ago, the Zhou brothers saw that they were unable to repay the money, and the creditor urged them so much, so they ran away alone, leaving the two of them at home."
"Those creditors couldn't find anyone, so they asked the Zhou girl for money. But where did she have money? The Zhou girl worked hard to make money when she helped her husband pay off her debts during that time, but in the end she didn't pay it back, and she got sick and had no money to treat her. When she saw her a few days ago, she looked like...ah... I'm young~ Why do you have to play money? So what's the trick? You have to borrow money to play..." The old lady didn't know whether she was talking too much or forgot about Ye Wen's existence. She left while talking, which made Ye Wen stunned and watched the old lady turn around the corner of the street and disappear.
However, I finally figured out what happened. No wonder Aunt Zhao said that she had not had any news about her sister for a long time. In previous years, she should have received her letter from her sister's home. Even if the weather was bad, the road was not too late, but this year it was a few months late.
"So something happened!"
Since he knew the situation, Ye Wen knew that no one would come out to pick him up when he stood here and called someone. So he could just go in and take a look! He turned around and walked in and looked around. The small yard was actually full of weeds, which obviously had not been cleaned up for a long time.
It seems that Aunt Zhao's sister's condition is worse than what the old lady said, and she doesn't even have the ability to clean the yard at home. Moreover, no one from the neighborhood yard can help.
"Maybe I'm afraid that those who asked for the debt will be cheated on me?"
In just a moment, he guessed the reason. Ye Wen gently pushed open the door in front of him that was not much better than the door, and walked in.
As soon as I entered, I saw a sick woman with a haggard face and a face of gold and paper struggling to get up. I thought I could hear Ye Wen's footsteps so I wanted to get up.
Ye Wen saw the appearance of this woman, and a sentence flashed through his heart: "I am terminally ill and my life is not long..."
Before he could speak, the woman looked at Ye Wen with her godless eyes and said casually: "Are you here again? There is really nothing valuable in my family..."
