Xiao Xixi smelled the mellow aroma of wine, and the greedy worms in her stomach were immediately hooked out.
But she still remembered what Luo Qinghan told her.
She forced herself to look away from the jug: "I don't drink, I can just eat."
After speaking, she picked up her chopsticks, fished out a large piece of mutton from the hot pot, and devoured it.
Yu Jiu picked up the jug and poured two glasses of wine.
He pushed one of the cups to Xixi's hand.
"Really don't drink a little? This wine does smell good."
Xiao Xixi buried her face in the bowl, and said while eating, "Don't drink."
Yu Jiu: "Drink a little and you won't get drunk."
Xiao Xixi was afraid that she would not be able to control herself, so she wanted a little more after drinking it.
She resolutely ignored Yu Jiu's seduction and concentrated on eating.
Seeing this, Yu Jiu tutted softly, quite disappointed.
"It's boring."
When the two of them had enough to eat and drink, Yu Jiu was ready to settle the bill.
But Madam Wei said, "The account of your table has already been settled."
Yu Jiu was slightly startled: "Who helped us settle the bill?"
Madam Wei pointed to the table of guests in the corner next to her.
"It's them."
Yu Jiu looked in the direction she pointed, only to realize that the guest sitting in the corner was actually the baby-faced young man she had seen last night.
The baby-faced youth was obviously keeping an eye on Yu Jiu.
When he saw Yu Jiu looking towards him, he curved his lips and smiled.
Yu Jiu raised his eyebrows slightly.
He said hello to Xiao Xixi and walked to the table in the corner.
The baby-faced youth didn't seem to expect him to come directly, so he was stunned for a moment, then stood up and called out respectfully.
"Master."
Yu Jiu sat down in the empty seat opposite him and asked with a half-smile.
"You've been following me?"
The baby-faced youth poured a cup of hot tea, pushed it in front of Yu Jiu, and said, "We just want to protect your safety."
Yu Jiu didn't touch the cup of tea, and kept looking at the baby-faced youth in front of her.
"I don't need your protection."
Baby-faced youth: "You are General Lang's son. If this matter is known to others, it may bring you danger. We must follow you to ensure your safety.
If you don't want to see us, we can be a little more careful and make sure we don't appear in front of you again. "
Yu Jiu: "So, are you planning to follow me all the time?"
Baby-faced youth: "We are acting on orders, please forgive me."
He thought that Yu Jiu would be dissatisfied, after all Yu Jiu seemed to be a very difficult person to get along with.
However, unexpectedly, Yu Jiu not only was not dissatisfied, but smiled gently.
"If that's the case, why don't you help me with something?"
The baby-faced young man was slightly startled, and then responded: "Of course, it is our honor to be able to serve you."
Yu Jiu hooked his fingers at him, motioning him to come closer.
The baby-faced youth stood up and walked over without hesitation, bending down and bowing his head.
Yu Jiu whispered a few words in his ear.
The baby-faced youth said there was no problem.
"We let the young master send us!"
Yu Jiu took a sip of tea and said, "That's it, I'll go first."
He got up and took two steps, then stopped and looked back at the baby-faced youth.
"I haven't asked you, what should I call you?"
The baby-faced youth: "Tu Ling under you."
Yu Jiu nodded slightly: "Tu Ling, I remember."
He returned to Xiao Xixi's side and told her that he could go.
Xiao Xixi got up and followed him out, asking while walking.
"What did you tell that person?"
Yu Jiu smiled mysteriously: "Guess."
Xiao Xixi: "..."
Forget it, she shouldn't have said that.
Before leaving, Yu Jiu wanted to take one last look at Yu Zhai.
When they passed by Jiang's house, they saw a group of people gathered at the gate of Jiang's house, and among them were several arresters.
People were chatting and talking.
"This Uncle Jiang doesn't know what he has done. First, he raised an unfilial son, and now the unfilial son has been killed."
"His son is a second-rate son, and living is a scourge, but death makes everyone feel at ease."
"You can't say that, it's a life after all."
"Uncle Jiang is so old, and he has only one son under his knees. Now that the son is dead, there are only him, a daughter-in-law, and two young grandchildren, orphans, widowed mothers, and the elderly. How will we live in the future? "
…
The crowd was arrested and forced to separate, clearing a passage.
The two yamen came out carrying a stretcher.
The body on the stretcher was covered with a white cloth, and nothing could be seen.
Uncle Jiang and her daughter-in-law followed, crying so hard that their hearts were broken.
Yu Jiu stood behind the crowd, quietly watching the scene in front of him.
Xiao Xixi asked tentatively, "Do you regret it?"
Yu Jiu bent her lips and smiled: "Not at all."
Back then, Jiang Chengcai aided Zhou in his abuse, which caused him to be separated from his family and made him recognize a thief as his father. This debt cannot be paid off by killing one Jiang Chengcai.
He wants the rest of the Jiang family to be like him, and to experience the pain of being separated from their close relatives.
The scene in front of him was exactly what he wanted.
He expressed satisfaction.
After returning to Yu's house, Yu Jiu wandered around from the inside out.
He looked at it carefully, as if he wanted to carve all the details of the house into his mind, so as not to forget it in the future.
Finally he left through the gate.
The carriage had already stopped at the door.
Xiao Xixi sat on the carriage, she watched Yu Jiu turn around and slowly closed the door.
As the door gradually closed, the scene in the house was reduced a little bit, and finally it was completely isolated on the other side of the door.
Yu Jiu locked the door in person, turned and walked towards the carriage.
Xiao Xixi asked, "Don't you need someone to help you watch this house?"
There are a lot of flowers and trees planted in this house, and someone needs to take care of it regularly, and someone needs to clean it frequently, otherwise the house will soon be abandoned.
Yu Jiu lifted the hem of his clothes, sat on the cab of the car dashingly, and said calmly.
"No, there will be no more people living in this house in the future, no matter how clean it is."
The reason why home is called home is that there is care and love for his family at home.
But now he has no family.
That home is no longer a home, it can only be regarded as a mansion with a facade.
Yu Jiu gently flicked the reins and drove the carriage forward.
As the distance increased, the Yu Mansion behind him became smaller and smaller.
Yu Jiu didn't look back.
He looked forward calmly.
There is no one here who can make him stop and remember.
On the other hand, there is still the person who caused the destruction of his family.
Xiao Xixi squeezed some fragrant powder from the sachet and sprinkled it out of the car window.
The fragrance wafted in the cold wind and faded quickly.
She put away the sachet and asked with a probe.
"Where are we going next?"
Yu Jiutou didn't turn back and said, "Go back to Tianmen to meet my adoptive father."
Xiao Xixi: "Then you can untie the acupoints on my body, so that I can also fight."
Yu Jiu: "Not yet, just wait, when the time comes, I will naturally help you untie the acupoints."
