Dad was a little puzzled when he heard what I said: "I know. Doesn't that mean I told you everything?" A huge question mark popped up in my head at this time, thinking that he had told me everything.
Seeing my doubts, my father smiled and said: "The method he used is actually to transport you back to the past in the form of a soul. As long as you want to see anything, you can see it. In other words In other words, this is more intuitive than telling you verbally." I frowned, thinking that I didn't think it was being told directly to me, because many things were unclear to me.
Seeing that I was still confused, my father said: "Actually, I already know all the things you said you have experienced. The answers you want are all in it. It depends on whether you can understand them all." I smiled bitterly. He shook his head, thinking that his father's way of speaking really made people angry, so he stopped discussing the issue with him.
I turned around and looked at the other people on the table, and then I felt that the atmosphere was strange. Mom sat next to dad with a faint smile, Xiao Baihua sat next to me, my elder sister sat next to Xiao Baihua, and the other three were still sitting on the horse. Everyone was silent. I looked at the family in confusion and asked, "What's wrong with you? Na San, what are you doing? Eat." Na San stood up very cautiously, bowed slightly to me and said : "The ancestors and the young master are here, I will serve whichever time it is. I can just stay here."
I really couldn't stand Na San's slave attitude. I reached out and picked him up and placed him on the chair next to me. He said, "What age are we in? Do you think we will be like your wolf-hearted and dog-emotional people?" Is Lord Beile like that?" Na San said nothing, but tears filled his eyes. I thought to myself, why is this great man so moved when he comes to the table to eat? He is not used to being a slave.
My parents have lived for who knows how many years, and have long been accustomed to Na San's slave attitude, so they didn't say anything from the beginning to the end. As for Lao Jie and Xiao Baihua, those three were purely prisoners, and keeping him alive was already a great favor. So they didn't react at all. I asked why everyone at this table is so weird.
It was not until much later that I accidentally learned what kind of inhuman life the three slaves used by the modern descendants of the Qing royal family lived. First of all, those three slaves have no personal freedom and do not even receive human treatment. Not to mention anything else, just take eating as an example. The master eats and the slaves have to wait on him. If there is only half a mouthful left, if you are in a good mood, give it to them. If you are in a bad mood, even if there is a table full of delicacies left, you will throw it away without letting them touch it. And in Mackin's place, the three don't even have a decent place to live. Mackin lived in a large villa, but Nasan could only live in a small shed in the courtyard of the villa, waiting for orders at any time, just like the dogs raised in the courtyards of wealthy families.
So when I was looking for bedding for Na San, Na San refused. According to his wishes, all he needed was an old newspaper, and giving him the empty floor in the hall would be a great gift. He did not dare to sleep on my bed. In the end, I had no choice but to take him to the Metaphysics Hall and let him sleep on the sofa on the first floor. In my eyes, who don't know the life of a slave three years ago, this grandson is a completely born slave, and he can't stick to the wall. But later, when I learned about the childhood that Na San had gone through, and when I recalled my cynicism towards Na San, I felt guilty all the time. But the guilt could only remain in my heart, because Na San died not long after. Of course, this is all for later.
Back to now.
Na San wiped his tears and picked up his rice bowl, looking at the table of dishes and not knowing what to do. My parents also looked at Na San with a smile, but said nothing. They were as amiable as they were to the friends I brought home for dinner when I was a child.
But I still felt something was wrong. It took me a long time to understand why no one at this table was using their chopsticks. I shook my head, picked up my chopsticks and picked up the dish closest to me. Unexpectedly, as soon as I stretched out my chopsticks, another pair of chopsticks hit my hand with a "snap". I was in pain and retracted my hand with a cry of "Oh!" Only then did I see the old lady looking at me with an angry look. I was a little annoyed and asked: "Sister, what are you doing?" The sister said righteously: "You little brat, your father didn't even move his chopsticks, but you dare to do it? No matter how big or small you are!"
I burst into laughter because I have never been so pedantic in the habit of waiting for my father to use his chopsticks before eating. (Actually, in terms of etiquette, what Shi Yan did was indeed wrong. It’s just that in modern times, we don’t pay much attention to etiquette. The author reminds us that etiquette is the essence left by the ancient Chinese people and the embodiment of the soul of the Chinese people. It is a manifestation of noble qualities. I hope readers will pay more attention to the etiquette towards the people around you. Especially towards the elders.)
Being rendered speechless by the elder sister, I shrugged and had to put down my chopsticks. Speaking of which, in fact, I may be the only person at this table who doesn't understand etiquette. Among the people here, mom and dad are the elders, and mom has always obeyed dad, so if dad doesn't move, mom won't move. Although Xiao Baihua was born as a horse bandit, this green girl pays more attention to etiquette, so after my parents-in-law use chopsticks, they have to wait for me and my elder sister to use chopsticks before using chopsticks to pick up food. My sister is different from me. Although she has just left the country and does not understand society, it does not mean that she is an uncivilized savage. Naturally, she also understands the importance of etiquette. Not to mention those three, everyone here is taller than him, so it's already good that he didn't offer to eat the leftovers.
Dad was holding a cigarette in his mouth and said to me angrily: "Did you see, it's your sister who is much more sensible than you." After saying that, Dad put out the cigarette butt, picked up his chopsticks and said, "Okay, everyone eats. More." Eat some!" He said, ignoring the others, and ate the food.
The elder sister picked up the wine bottle, poured wine for her father and mother, and then poured herself a glass. Then she raised her glass and said, "I respect my father and mother!" After saying that, without waiting for the reaction of my father and mother, she raised her head The first one left. Dad and Mom smiled and picked up the wine and drank it down. Dad then said: "Qinglan, these years have been good and you have worked very hard. From now on, you can live at home and don't have to go back to the mountains." The elder sister said reservedly He smiled and said, "Thank you, dad." But my dad looked at Xiao Baihua and me with a smile, and then said, "Should we also find a partner for Qing Lan? Shi Yan is getting married." ." As he said that, he laughed.
The elder sister's face was red, and she said angrily to the old crooked father: "Daddy..."
All in all, it was a weird dinner today. After dinner, I drove Na San to the Metaphysics Museum. On the way, I asked him: "Na San, can you tell me who are the people who work with your Chen Beile?" Na San hesitated and said with some embarrassment: "This..." I also understand. Although Na San was captured, it was not considered a rebellion. So it would be reasonable for him not to tell me. So I shrugged and said, "If you don't want to, forget it. They will find me one day anyway."
The three faces turned red, and then they said: "Actually, there is nothing I don't want to say. It's just that I'm a slave. Even if something happens, Lord Baylor won't tell me. I only know that a man found Baylor some time ago. Master, I told him about you and told Master Beile that you will arrive in Jilin soon. I don’t know what you said in detail. I am not qualified to listen to what the master is saying."
I nodded and asked, "What kind of person is he?" Na San thought for a moment, and then said, "That person was wearing a black cloak, so I couldn't see what he looked like. But from the sound of the person's voice, I could tell , should be a woman."
I smiled bitterly and shook my head. I couldn't get any useful information from those three mouths. I didn't ask any more questions, handed the three items to Chongxi and left. Before leaving, she asked Chongxi not to embarrass Na San. Chongxi had already fallen asleep, so she sleepily agreed and went upstairs.
Zheng Shuang came to the Metaphysics Museum early the next morning and handed me a temporary ID card. He said that it would take some time to make the ID card, so I could only use the temporary ID card during this period. Fortunately, the temporary ID can also be used to buy train tickets, otherwise I would have to fly over with my sword.
Before leaving, Lin Feng asked me: "Shi Yan, what should we do with our weapons and equipment? Should we still follow the old method?" I shrugged and nodded, saying that this was the only way to do it. After all, Lin Feng's whip, darts, and head-flickers were all contraband, and the Shiyan Sword, an antique and regulated knife, was detained before we even got on the train.
At this time, the elder sister walked up to us and asked inexplicably: "What happened?" I explained the situation, but to my surprise, the elder sister smiled and reached out to touch Lin Feng's equipment. The next second, Lin Feng's whip and dart disappeared out of thin air!
