Hua Qing was sent back to Tangcheng. According to external reports at the time, both Han Shouyi and Zhang Bojin wanted him to return to Tangcheng to study with the former Hanlin Academy bachelors. However, this was not the case after returning to his hometown.
Hua Qing left home when he was 6 years old and returned to Tangcheng when he was 13 years old. He rode horses to the mountains with his martial arts master all day long, or wandered around several restaurants in the city. He could read but could not read anything.
Zhang Bojin saw that his son was not a good student, so he did not force him to do so.
The original plan was to get married and start a family and take over the family shop in two years when his son was older. However, he secretly left a letter and left home, saying that he had gone to Songjiang to join his sister. Zhang Bojin was planning to write to Songjiang to ask his niece to help take care of him.
At that time, a letter came from Songjiang. Zhao Shutong said that he wanted to ask Hua Qing to come to Songjiang to help Han Shouyi.
Only then did Zhang Bojin realize that this boy had not seen his sister and did not even know whether he had gone to Songjiang or not. In the past two months, the Zhang and Han families had sent people back and forth to look for him but could not find him. No one knew where this 17-year-old boy had gone.
Zhao Shutong had never met this younger brother until today.
As soon as the man walked in, Zhao Shutong looked familiar, but when he thought about it carefully, he didn't know who it was. When he asked, he realized that he was actually the Zhao family.
This man's name is Zhao Yidian, and his aunt Zhao Shutong and his cousin Hua Qing appear to be twenty years old.
It turned out that the Zhao family had not been having a good time in recent years. The family was not making a living well, so the big family broke up. Zhao Yidian's father's family was originally a commoner, and did not get much. In the end, the whole family died of illness and starvation, and only one family was left.
himself.
It was winter. He was cold and hungry. He thought he was going to see his parents. Unexpectedly, he happened to be met by Hua Qing who was wandering around. Hua Qing took Zhao Yidian away. At first, he did not know that he was from the Zhao family. When he asked
Only then did I know.
Now Hua Qing didn't want to see him anymore, but he didn't say he was going to drive them away. Zhao Yidian remembered Hua Qing's kindness, so he followed him no matter how much he was disliked. Unfortunately, Zhao Yidian had to follow him. They were the two of them all the way from Tangcheng to Songjiang.
Keep people company.
Zhao Shutong asked again why he didn't look for her? Why didn't he come home? Zhao Yidian didn't say anything and asked how Hua Qing was injured. Zhao Yidian only said that Hua Qing was injured when he blocked the gun for him, and he didn't say anything else when asked.
He didn't mention that the Hong Gang had been causing trouble in the city these past few days. Zhao Shutong and Jiang Hanjie could have guessed it. Jiang Hanjie looked at Zhao Yidian and thought that the person next to Hua Qing was capable and had a strict mouth.
In the evening, when Han Shouyi came back, Hua Qing had just woken up and came to see him, but he didn't ask anything. He only said that he wanted him to take good care of his injuries and that he would talk about everything after he was healed.
Hua Qing said that he had beaten him to death. Han Shouyi said, "Don't talk nonsense. You just came to Songjiang today and were attacked by horse bandits on the way. Who did you beat to death? It hurt your brain, kid."
Hua Qing understood what Han Shouyi meant and said nothing. Zhao Shutong wanted to say a few more words to Hua Qing, especially to ask him what was going on, but Han Shouyi pulled him away.
When he returned to the room, Han Shouyi said, "You didn't see it. This kid came back feeling angry. He was also angry that we let him go home. He wanted to use the Hong Gang incident to prove himself."
Speaking of this, Han Shouyi sighed: "Young man, he is quite angry, and he is so impulsive in doing things, just like when he was a child."
When Zhao Shutong heard what her husband said, she understood in her heart that this year the Hong Gang and the Qing Gang were at odds with each other. Hua Qing's return this time was like giving a greeting gift to the gang. She wanted to tell him that he didn't need it at all. Since Yu Hao left,
After that, it would be the greatest gift for Hua Qing to come back.
A few days later, Hua Qing's injuries have healed well. Otherwise, the young man is still in good health and recovers quickly.
In the past few days, the eldest brother and the sixth brother often came to visit him. The others were all blocked by Zhao Shutong, who said they would see him again when he recovered from his injuries.
Then there is King Kong. Except for the first two days when he didn’t see anyone, he stayed with him all the time. Hua Qing heard him say that he was arranged by his eldest brother, and the eldest brother he followed the second year after he left was someone close to his eldest brother.
Hua Qing asked where Dian Dian had gone, and King Kong said that his master had sent him away to learn kung fu from Hong Tou. Hua Qing asked who Hong Tou was again, and King Kong said, "You have been gone for so long and I don't know. There are many people who have come and gone in the gang."
People are not the same as before. Now our gang has four major halls: Qing, Jing, Dao, and De (Baohua Dharma). Each hall is not small, with at least a hundred or so people. The eldest brother and the sixth brother Guan Wen
Detang and Wendaotang, Hongtou Guan Wenqingtang, and Wenjingtang were given to Lu Shankang just last year..."
At this point, Hua Qing interrupted him, "Where's the one who left?" The person who left was called Yu Hao. When Han Shouyi came to Songjiang to hang out, outsiders jokingly said that he had six Vajras under his command, namely the boss Jiang Hanjie,
Xiao Liu Hu Haihua, monk Lu Shankang, second master Zhang Baoshun, monkey Yu Hao, big insect Xin Jin.
After Hua Qing left, Xin Jin was eliminated in a gang fight to protect Han Tianci. After half a year, he was gone. Yu Hao took people away again. For a time, the only old man who had fought for Boss Han was his eldest brother.
, Sixth Brother, and Monk, now that Hua Qing can come back is nothing less than a reassurance for Boss Han.
King Kong said: "Before that incident happened, there were actually five halls. The fifth one was Wenbao Hall. The monk was in charge of this. Wenjing Hall was initially managed by Yu Hao. After he took the people away, Master
The remaining people in Wenjingtang were divided and reorganized, and the Wenbao in charge of the monk was changed to Wenjing."
Hua Qing understood and asked him to continue talking about Hongtou.
"Now that we have more people, it is difficult to manage, and some of us are very ambitious. Otherwise, what happened before would have happened. Hong Tou is the head coach of the Qing Gang. At that time, you were all trained by your master, but now most of you follow Hong Tou.
Practice first, and then assign them to each hall leader after selection, and I assigned them to the eldest brother."
King Kong also said that he should take good care of his injuries now, and when he was healed, the master would give him a chance to meet people.
Speaking of the injury, King Kong admired Hua Qing quite a bit. Because of Yu Hao's rebellion, everyone in the Qinggang was holding their breath, but the second master was so cruel that he dared to use the knife directly.
Speaking of this King Kong asked him why he called him Second Master.
Hua Qing said: "That's nonsense. I was young at the time, and I was following my sister and my brother-in-law. I didn't know why I screamed. It was just a joke. Do you really think someone regards me as a father?"
At that time, even Brother Six was called Xiao Liuzi, so who was he?
Hua Qing and King Kong have been getting along with each other these days, and they are quite close to each other. They are brothers. In two weeks, Hua Qing's injuries have almost healed. Today, he and King Kong went out for a walk and met a man in the Han family garden.
Person, Li Songxi.
Li Songxi didn't expect to meet him again at Han's house. He thought he looked familiar but couldn't confirm it. He wanted to get closer and take a closer look. When he saw the red mole on his Adam's apple, he immediately confirmed that it was him.
Today, Hua Qing was wearing a white cotton and linen jacket, and she looked quite fragile.
Li Songxi: "Did you shave your beard?"
King Kong said: "Hello, Miss Li."
Then he tugged on Hua Qing's sleeve and said, "Do you know me?"
Li Songxi realized that something was wrong with her words, and stretched out his hand to Hua Qing, "Hello, my name is Li Songxi."
Hua Qing didn't move. He looked at her blankly. He didn't reach out to shake her hand, but said directly: "Hello, my name is Zhang Baoshun."
He actually wanted to ask, does she still remember him?
Li Songxi looked Hua Qing up and down. His hair was cut so that it did not cover his eyes so much, his beard was shaved, and his face was clean. Although he was injured, he looked much sharper than that day.
Hua Qing stood there and let her look at him openly, but his palms were already sweaty.
King Kong Jianci spoke out: "This is our master's wife's younger brother. He just came here two weeks ago. He was injured when he encountered a horse bandit on the road. I just came out today and I didn't expect to meet you..."
Li Songxi interrupted him, "Where is the injury? Left shoulder or right shoulder?"
King Kong said to himself: "Left shoulder."
He didn't react until Hua Qing pulled him. How did this eldest lady know that Hua Qing injured her shoulder? Damn it, she didn't know that Hua Qing killed He Qingxian, right?
King Kong wanted to make a few more quibbles, but who knew that Li Songxi didn't go this way at all, but stared at the gold chain on Hua Qing's right chest.
Before she could say anything, Hua Qing pulled it off and handed it to Li Shunxi: "That... I'll give this back to you."
Li Songxi stretched out his hand to take it, and his face was moist enough to show that Hua Qing's hands were sweaty. She thought she might understand why he didn't shake hands with her just now.
She opened it, and sure enough it was her pocket watch, and he opened it and looked at it. Because there was a photo of her embedded in it, he knew it was his.
Li Songxi looked up at him and saw his Adam's apple rolling back and forth nervously. His attention was attracted for a moment. Hua Qing was nervous and said: "I picked it up on the stairs in the garden that day. I didn't know how to return it, so I kept holding it.
Already."
Stop staring at him, he felt like sweat was forming on his forehead.
King Kong realized it and asked nervously: "Does your wound hurt?"
Hua Qing glared at him and wanted to roll her eyes at him. If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute.
At this time, Li Songxi noticed that his ears were red again. Taking advantage of the red mole on his Adam's apple and his white coat, the sun shone fragmentary light on him. The radiance was translucent. He was so beautiful, better than she had ever seen before.
Everyone looks good.
Li Songxi laughed and handed him the pocket watch again: "My nickname is Xiao Yu'er, and I gave you the watch."
Hua Qing didn't react. He understood the first half of the sentence because there was a koi fish engraved under the dial. The second half... there was a photo of her in it. What did she mean?
King Kong was the first to react, "Ms. Li, I'm afraid it's not appropriate. It's so precious—"
Before he finished speaking, Hua Qing took the pocket watch and hung it in the same position again. King Kong was dumbfounded, what do you mean by this?
Li Songxi was even happier and said: "I will leave by boat with Han Tianci the day after tomorrow. You and Sister Han, Boss Shu Tong, go to the pier to see him off the day after tomorrow. See you the day after tomorrow."
After saying that, Li Songxi left. Hua Qing looked at her back. He had seen Han Tianci in the past few days, and he was not as jealous as he was when he was a child. He was like good brothers when they met.
He also knew that Han Tianci was going to study abroad by boat the day after tomorrow, but what she said just now...she asked him to send her off, right?
While he was lost in thought, a pair of hands waved back and forth in front of him. Hua Qing pulled away and asked, "What are you doing?"
King Kong asked him, "What are you doing? Just follow them when they leave."
Hua Qing ignored him and turned around to go back to her room, thinking that she had forgotten to tell her that her nickname was Hua Qing.
King Kong quickly followed and said, "How did you meet Miss Li?"
Hua Qing asked him back: "Miss Li?" King Kong said: "Yes, the Li family, Li Hongjian's daughter, Li Juedao's precious sister."
King Kong introduced the Li family to him in detail, and finally said: "I think Master has the intention to bring Tianci and Miss Li together."
Hua Qing was unhappy for a moment, and heard him say again: "But looking at the posture, Tianci and Miss Li didn't mean it. It seems that the master himself is enthusiastic."
King Kong asked again: "Hey, how did you two know each other?"
Hua Qing: "I saw it in the theater on the day of the accident."
In fact, it was not a meeting at all, just passing by, but unexpectedly she remembered him.
Hua Qing also saw Li Songxi at that time. He just felt his eyes light up and didn't think much about it. He was in a hurry to go out. It was only later when he opened his pocket watch and saw the photo that he remembered who it was.
King Kong: "Let me tell you, it seems that she knew that you did what happened that day."
While they were talking, Hua Qing asked King Kong if he knew where there was a place to drink. King Kong smiled and said, "You have asked the right person."
Besides, Li Shuanxi still had a smile on her face when she got off the car when she got home. Everyone could see that she was very happy, and she met Li Juedao head-on.
Li Juedao asked her why she was so happy. Li Songxi said, "I just met a friend named Zhang Baoshun."
Li Juedao said that he knew that Sister Shu Tong was the younger brother.
Li Songxi: "Baoshun, brother, his name is so strange, it doesn't sound good at all."
But he is good-looking, but it doesn't go well with his name.
Li Juedao didn't think so: "Why doesn't it sound good? This name is the simplest hope of his family for him. The baby of the family will have a smooth and safe life. But his nickname is quite nice, called Hua Qing."
Li Songxi was quite surprised when he heard this.
"Brother, why are you going?"
Li Juedao: "I had a drink date with some friends."
Li Songxi: "Oh, let's go. Goodbye." He turned around and stepped on his leather shoes and went in. Li Juedao smiled and shook his head. This precious sister of his is so lovable.
Besides, Hua Qing and King Kong went to a restaurant in Nancheng for a drink. Hua Qing was mainly drinking alone while King Kong was busy eating. He is a gourmet.
Hua Qing was so dizzy from drinking that King Kong stopped him from drinking any more. He had no way to explain to his wife when he got home. King Kong supported Hua Qing and staggered downstairs, not paying attention to the people coming in front of him until Hua Qing and the other party
bumped into.
Jin Gang was able to hold the man steady: "Hello, brother Dao, you are here to drink too."
Li Juedao stood firm and glanced at the drunkard opposite. There was a pocket watch under his feet. Li Juedao looked familiar. As soon as he picked it up, he saw the koi carp engraved on the surface. The drunkard snatched it away before he could open it.
Li Juedao was stunned for a moment and said, "My little brother is very skilled. King Kong, who is this?"
King Kong: "Our master's apprentice, Zhang Baoshun." He was afraid that Li Juedao would lose face because of Hua Qing's robbery, so he added: "He is also our master's wife's younger brother."
Li Juedao repeated: "Sister Shu Tong's younger brother." While still looking at Hua Qing, his eyes changed several times when he saw him putting his pocket watch back into his pocket.
Hua Qing asked King Kong who this was, and King Kong said: "Li Juedao, Brother Dao, Miss Li's eldest brother."
Hearing this, Hua Qing pushed King Kong away and grabbed Li Juedao's shoulders, "Hello, big brother!"
King Kong was so frightened that he quickly pulled him back, "Brother Dao, Brother Dao, you're not the eldest brother! What's that? Brother Dao, don't be as experienced as Baoshun. He's drunk and has a big tongue. Brother Dao, let's go first. You continue, you continue."
"
After saying that, Jingang pulled Hua Qing and left quickly. Why are you calling me "big brother" when you haven't hit me yet? You say you are calling me brother, but in fact Brother Dao is a generation higher than them.
Li Juedao looked at King Kong's fleeing back and Hua Qing's staggering steps, especially the pocket watch just now, and thought a little.
The people around Li Juedao didn't understand the situation, "Brother Dao... us?" Li Juedao turned around and asked them to continue. He would not participate, and then said that the incident when he met Zhang Baoshun just didn't happen.
Li Juedao returned to Li's house. The house was quiet. Li Juedao was standing in front of the window wearing a moon-white coat, thinking about the pocket watch he picked up in the tavern just now, his brows furrowed into the character "Chuan".
Early the next morning, in the dining room, Li Songxi held Zong Min in his arms and said, "Our Minmin, you haven't seen your aunt for two years. Do you still recognize your aunt when she comes back?"
Zong Min said that he knew her, he would never forget his aunt, and he had a photo of her.
Li Juedao ate breakfast very slowly and looked at Li Songxi from time to time.
"Brother? What's wrong with you?"
"After you finish your meal, follow me to the study."
