Tang Luokui covered his mouth and chuckled, and then said: "I grew up in Ya Village since I was a child. I heard from my grandfather that the people in Ya Village are the remains of those who survived the Battle of Dongjue. Where are they?
We found a place to take refuge from the chaos, and over time it became a village. My grandfather used to be a highly skilled and popular doctor, but in the face of the tragedy of the war, he felt powerless, so he simply kept his name anonymous and prepared to wait for the rest of his life.
In the village, don’t go out again.”
She had also heard about the brutality of the Dongjue War. She only remembered that her father tried his best to raise a lot of food and wages from various places and served meals and porridge to the people outside the mansion. She was only five or six years old at that time, but the depression in Xiling City made her
I still vaguely remember it.
"If you can come out of the village, you must have been met by my grandfather, otherwise the villagers would not be able to let people freely enter and leave the village." Tang Luokui explained, "They all hate the Dongjue people, and so does A Ruo."
After Yang Jinxi heard what she said, the eyes of the villagers when she left unconsciously appeared in Yang Jinxi's mind. At the time, she felt it was baffling. Now that she thought about it carefully, she suddenly felt a chill running down her spine. The eyes of those people clearly wanted to tear them apart into pieces.
of deep hatred.
It turns out that although the country and the country have been stable in recent years, and everyone seems to be happy and prosperous, from time to time, Dongjue people will change their tricks to disrupt people's lives, especially in some small towns that were not originally prosperous. Ah Ruo's death overnight
She became an orphan without a father and mother, and fled all the way to the outside of Ya Village. When she was driven away by the villagers, she happened to meet her grandfather collecting medicine. Seeing how pitiful she was, he took her in.
"A Ruian was not in good health when he was a child. He often fell ill. Once he was ill, he would go to full term." Tang Luokui sighed slightly. "I guess it was caused by the disease in the mother's body. Later, with the care of my grandfather, he gradually got better.
, but although she has recovered from her illness, she is never forgiving, and the third girl should have seen this."
As it happened, she had never seen it before. She had only heard from Al Yunna that when she was unconscious, the little girl was helping him boil the medicine and guiding him to feed the medicine. Yang Jinxi nodded and smiled: "Yes, Ah Ruan is a good person."
girl."
Tang Luokui seemed to sigh softly and said softly: "But it's good, my grandfather has a companion by his side."
Seeing her faintly relieved smile, Yang Jinxi began to be curious again. Hearing what she said, the grandfather and grandson had been dependent on each other for decades, so why did she leave her grandfather there and come out alone?
"Then why don't you bring him out with you? The old man misses you very much." Yang Jinxi thought so and asked the same question.
There was a hint of disappointment in Tang Luokui's eyes. She put another piece of mint into the tea and said leisurely: "He said he has been there for most of his life. Now that he is too old and weak, he doesn't want to leave. Besides, Ah Ruan is also weak."
I don't want to leave there." She took a sip of tea and sighed, "My grandfather couldn't worry about the people in the village, the old and the disabled. He felt that those people were too miserable."
Yang Jinxi suddenly remembered the two brothers beside her when they first met. They had not seen anyone when they came in until now. She subconsciously asked: "Why are the two children who came with you before missing? But where are they going to play?
Already?"
"They are not playful," Tang Luokui pursed her lips and said with a smile, "They should be helping out in the front hall."
In the impression, the two brothers were still just children. What kind of attack could they do in the front hall? Yang Jinxi felt a little confused and blurted out: "Miss Tang, they are not related to you, why do you want to save them? What's more, you are not a member of the cabinet.
A woman with two children outside will always have a bad reputation. If your grandfather knew..."
"Grandfather knows," Tang Luokui saw the confusion in her eyes, stood up and explained, "The mother of these two children had just died, and the father surrounded them on the street to sell them loudly. Others turned a blind eye, but I couldn't. Although I didn't
No matter what other skills he had, he could still keep them alive with his hands. My grandfather had medical skills but was willing to stay in that small cliff village. He was not a hateful person, just because he couldn't let go of the people in the village and Ah Ruo.
.”
There is nothing more benevolent than a doctor, but as a doctor, he has always been aloof, so how could he let his granddaughter wander to Qinnu? While Yang Jinxi was listening attentively, she suddenly remembered a brief knock on the door.
She must have known that Yang Jinxi was in the room, so she deliberately lowered her voice: "Miss Tang——"
"Here we come." Tang Luokui responded, turned around and bowed to Yang Jinxi. Before he could speak, Yang Jinxi stood up and said, "I'll go with you. I haven't heard your music for so long."
In the lobby, behind the bead chain, as slender white fingers gently plucked the strings, a melodious and elegant sound followed. Some people were intoxicated by it, while others cheered. Yang Jinxi watched in silence for a long time, then suddenly got up and walked out.
.
"Shopkeeper Xia." Lu Yun looked for Shopkeeper Xia, who was busy with his head down, and called softly. Shopkeeper Xia raised his head in response, looked at the smiling Yang Jinxi not far away, turned around and gave instructions, and immediately went up to meet him.
Yang Jinxi glanced at the goods coming in and out, and saw that his sleeves were half rolled up. His exposed forearm was a little bloody, as if it had been scratched, and there was a lot of dust on his temples. He said with a smile: "Why does Shopkeeper Xia have to do everything by himself?"
, these little things should be taken care of by young people."
Shopkeeper Xia is also an old man who has been here since the opening of Helelou. Judging from his age, he can be considered a member of his father's generation. He works steadily, is dedicated to his career, and has good conduct. He has never made a single mistake in so many years.
, Yang Jinxi has long regarded him as one of her own, and naturally has great trust in him, otherwise she would not have handed over all the daily purchases and shipments of Helelou, large and small, to his hands.
"I don't worry about how careless they are, so I have to watch it myself to be sure, lest they make a mistake and cause trouble again," Shopkeeper Xia said with a smile, "Miss, you want to see me for something? Let me wash my hands and I'll be there soon...
…”
"No need," Yang Jinxi stopped him from turning around, and took a step forward. When he was about to speak, he saw two small figures bent over and busy counting the goods from the corner of his eye, a little stunned.
Shopkeeper Xia followed her eyes and looked back, pointed at the two people and said, "They were brought by Miss Tang. The third lady should have seen them before."
She had a vague impression of these two little brothers. They looked very similar and looked like compatriots. Yang Jinxi nodded, frowned slightly, and asked softly: "Are they a little younger?"
Hearing this, Shopkeeper Xia grinned, "I was worried before about what such a small boy could do, but these days it seems that the two of them are much more meticulous than Lu Qi and the others, so I
I will teach the two brothers while doing it, and train them well, so that I will not be gone one day and no one will take over my position in Helelou, right?"
Shopkeeper Xia has only one daughter in her family. She did not remarry after her wife passed away in the early years, and has been alone to this day. In the past few years, with the help of Yang Jinxi, she found a good husband. Although she is not a rich and powerful family, she can be regarded as having a worry-free life for the rest of her life.
Okay. And Lu Qi is Shopkeeper Xia's nephew. He is as loyal and honest as Shopkeeper Xia in dealing with people, but he is a little timid and not good at socializing with others.
"Shopkeeper Xia is a kind man and will definitely live a long life!" Yang Jinxi joked, "I just think they should be at the age of going to school and shouldn't be running around all day for a living."
Shopkeeper Xia shook his head gently, his tone full of helplessness: "We are all children from poor families, so why bother to go to school? As long as we have food to eat and don't starve to death, that's enough. There are many poor people in the world, Miss Third
You shouldn’t worry too much about it.”
He was already being treated as goods and sold for money by his biological father. How could he still think about learning how to read? Yang Jinxi looked at the two brothers who were still busy and said calmly: "Then Shopkeeper Xia will take care of it."
, Miss Tang’s grandfather once saved my life.”
"Ah?" Shopkeeper Xia was stunned for a moment, then responded, "Don't worry, Miss Three, I will make arrangements for them."
When she left Hele Building again, the morning fog had receded and the sky was blue. After the rain, there was a refreshing feeling in the air. Yang Jinxi walked slowly on the road, with green clouds following her.
"Miss, I feel that something is different after you come back this time." Lu Yun suddenly said.
"What did I look like before?" Yang Jinxi joked with a disapproving smile, "Could it be that I was a ferocious tigress?"
Lu Yun really thought about it carefully, nodded, and shook his head again, his expression seemed a little embarrassed: "Although Miss is usually very nice to us and the people in the house, in fact, everyone is a little afraid of you privately." She looked at it.
After looking at Yang Jinxi's face, there didn't seem to be any sign of displeasure, and continued, "Moreover, the lady never looks directly at those women who are performing arts. She even didn't look down upon her aunt, but she went to see them alone today.
Miss Tang."
"If I hadn't been rescued by Miss Tang's grandfather by accident, I wouldn't be looking for her today, and I wouldn't know that women should not be distinguished by high or low status, and not all women in the entertainment industry are equal.
People with ulterior motives," Yang Jinxi said lightly, "In the past, I was too prejudiced against them, it was me who was too paranoid."
She looked at the vendors on the street along the road, listened to the shouts one after another, and couldn't help but think about what happened these days. She always felt that no one would sacrifice themselves to help others, and everyone had a purpose.
So it helped, but now it seems that all of this has been overturned by myself.
"However, I will never forgive my aunt for what she did." Yang Jinxi said in a deep voice.
When Lu Yun heard her say this, it was as if he suddenly remembered something, and he lowered his voice mysteriously and said: "Miss, I heard them talking privately this morning, saying that my aunt quietly left the house yesterday, and when she came back..."
She lowered her voice and said, "When I came back, there were some red marks on my neck. They said it was that kind of mark. I have never seen it before. I wonder if what they said is true..."
Yang Jinxi looked at her with a red face, a flash of surprise in her eyes, which quickly disappeared. She sneered, and her eyes were replaced by endless ridicule, "How are you, second brother?"
Although she asked abruptly, Lu Yun still understood the meaning and said cautiously: "This morning, the second brother left without waiting for the third brother. When I saw that his eyes were swollen, I didn't even call him."
say."
It seems that Yang Chengxuan has listened to his aunt's words. No matter how miserable his mother is, she is still a close relative of flesh and blood, but why does she feel that all her hard work over the years has been in vain? Yang Jinxi shook her head with a wry smile.
