Wu Xie's purpose has not changed since he came here. He really wants to find out what happened to his little brother, and he also wants to know about the people and things related to the wooden fish.
Hearing that Wu Xie actually asked this, Zhang Haike hesitated and said: "Although we are all members of the overseas Zhang family, frankly speaking, I don't know the people of Zhang Hai Temple as well as I do Zhang Qiling and all the people who belong to the overseas Zhang family.
Not all of them are together."
"We also have several separate small branch training grounds near the southern coast." Zhang Haike said.
"The place where Zhang Haisi was trained since childhood was in Xiamen, and before my family moved overseas, it belonged to the outer ethnic group of the family, so when I was a child, I was trained with Zhang Qiling in the main ethnic group.
"
"It was also when Zhang Zhuxun appeared next to you that I first learned the name of Zhang Haisi." Zhang Haike shook his head and expressed regret.
"Most of the information on his mission in Nanyang is secret. I don't have the authority to help you retrieve it. Since he returned to his master's home as an adult, Nanyang's contact with him has been interrupted, and I have no way of knowing more.
"
Wu Xie pursed his lips and said, "I understand, then just tell me about my little brother. The more detailed you are, the better."
Zhang Haike nodded, "My so-called little brother and I have lived together for a long time. We started training together when he was two years old. Do you know how many years ago it was when he was two years old?"
Wu Xie remembered that Muyu had mentioned before that the younger brother was of the same generation as his grandfathers from several clans. He had just learned that Muyu's grandfather was from 1903, so based on this calculation, the younger brother should be...
Wu Xie's lips moved a few times and he hesitated: "A hundred years?"
The fat man next to him who felt thirsty moved down from the bed and was standing at the table holding a teapot and pouring tea into his mouth. However, he was so shocked by Wu Xie's words that he spat out something. Zhang Shuxunhe, who was sitting across the table,
Zhang Haike and Zhang Haike simultaneously bent down to dodge, kicked the table leg and slid the chair out.
The kicked table pushed forward and hit the fat man's belly, barely giving him any relief.
Fatty: "Cough cough cough... ugh... murder, you guys!"
Wu Xie hurriedly handed the handkerchief to him, not knowing what to say, "Why are you so excited? Isn't it normal for the Zhang family to live long and live for more than a hundred years? We met in the ancient building before.
He has lived more than one hundred and forty years."
"Fat Master just thinks... ahem, it's a little unexpected." The Fat Man wiped his face and wiped the table with a handkerchief, "Well, you go on, don't worry about me, keep talking."
Zhang Haike then sighed, "The year he was born, a big thing happened to our Zhang family. This thing was the beginning of everything and the root of all decline."
The story is long, but not many. Zhang Haike himself has no talent for telling stories. He usually talks about a place with a hammer and a stick that comes to mind.
For a long time, the Zhang family has been very strict about intermarriage. The Zhang family is very large and can control almost everything. This family usually engages in internal intermarriage. This is just to ensure the purity of the family bloodline.
Fortunately, the family is large and its branches cover a wide range of areas, so there are no embarrassing problems.
However, the younger brother is an anomaly in this family. No one knows who the younger brother’s mother is. I only heard that it was in a cold winter that the younger brother’s father transported a batch of goods from Nepal. He went there for a long time and came back.
At the time, she was holding an infant baby in her hands.
Without the care of his mother, and with rumors of impure blood resulting from the union of foreign races, the younger brother grew up in a rather chaotic environment during his childhood.
When he was still ignorant, he didn't even know who his father was. In such a huge system that respected strength and tyranny, children who had no one to protect them usually had a very difficult childhood, and countless children died midway.
number.
Growing up on thin ice in such a terrible environment, death and stench filled the surrounding air, cruelty and reality overlapped, and there were no partners to talk to. In such a cold environment, everyone was mechanically numb, which was very difficult.
To a large extent, this was the reason why I didn’t want to talk much later.
At that time, the ancestral residence of the Zhang family was located in Jinling Mountain. It consisted of seven Ming and Qing Dynasty buildings connected together, with thirteen entrances in front and behind it. This was just the residence of the Zhang family.
In the entire extension of the village, there are dozens of outhouses of the Zhang family. The outhouses extend outwards, and the villages within a radius of dozens of miles belong to the Zhang family's outhouses.
Although they all have the surname Zhang, they all have outstanding abilities, and they also control many people, but their hierarchical status is strictly divided, and the status of the family is much higher than that of other families.
Zhang Haike himself is a child of a foreign clan of the Zhang family, so he has very, very few opportunities to go to the family's big house. The only time he goes into the family's big yard is when he follows his elders to pay New Year's greetings.
Because of the status of their parents, most of the children in this family are arrogant, and the children in this family are not willing to play with them.
The belief that the strong is respected and the supremacy of power has been instilled in their minds since childhood. Even if there is no interest subordination between them at this time, this rejection and pride are assimilated by the influence of the surrounding aura.
instinct.
However, Zhang Haike actually doesn't care too much about this in his heart, because to him, the authority represented by the Zhang family is only obtained by relying on the support of other members of the Zhang family, which is a tacit understanding of blood.
Moreover, he believed that he could live more freely as a foreigner. There were many rules in his family, and many things pressed him too hard. The rules and regulations were like chains tightly tied around his neck. Even though he didn't understand it when he was young, he instinctively rejected such things.
Atmosphere.
The only thing that made Zhang Haike particularly concerned was that he often saw a particularly withdrawn child in his home. This child did not speak or play with other children.
When he was not training, the child would just sit quietly in the patio, or stand under the pillars beside the patio, looking at the small patch of blue sky exposed above the patio, in a daze.
Zhang Haike felt very strange. This child was very special. After several visits, Zhang Haike became more and more curious about this child and wanted to get to know him.
Moreover, this child was not well received by other children in his family, which inevitably gave him a sense of sympathy and intimacy.
Finally, one time, his father took him to the family to do some business. He took advantage of his father and other clan members to discuss things together. He wandered around for a while, but felt that it was not interesting, so he ran to find the child, who was only three years old at the time. Zhang Qiling. End of this chapter
