"Don't see you, sir." The old ancestor spoke again. The voice was a little softer. There were instructions, warnings, and more of a plea. Because Fang Yan was the Fang Yan that Ye Wenrou liked, she also fell in love with the Fang Yan that Ye Wenrou liked.
Fang Yan wanted to see the master and find him to question him. This was no secret in the entire Yanziwu.
In Fang Yan's mind, the eight words "kill a man and pay his life, owe a debt and pay it back" are the highest and most important rules of conduct that he believes humans should abide by. If the murderer does not pay his life, more people will kill. If the debtor does not pay back the money, no one will be willing to lend money to you. Some people say that this society is indifferent to human relationships, and even the closest friends cannot borrow money. However, if you have borrowed money and did not pay it back before, then you are harming your friends. People on the street are not willing to lend you a dime.
Everything has a cause, good and evil will be rewarded!
However, the ancestor of the Ye family said to Fang Yan in a serious tone: Don’t see you, sir!
Because of his good relationship with Ye Fengsheng and his bad relationship with Ye Wenrou, Fang Yan often went to Ye's house. Sometimes he went to play with Ye Fengsheng, and sometimes he went to take revenge on Ye Wenrou.
As he traveled more, he naturally interacted more with the old ancestor of the Ye family.
Gentle, loving, generous, cheerful, and even jokes with Fang Yan from time to time. He often brings food to Fang Yan and often calls him a naughty monkey.
Fang Yan liked the Ye family's ancestor as if he were his own grandmother - his grandmother passed away very early.
As far as he could remember, the old ancestor had never spoken to him in such a serious tone. He had always been kind and cheerful, and treated him no differently than other children—maybe he liked him a little more.
Fang Yan's face was solemn and he remained silent. He did not immediately answer the question from the old ancestor. Or rather, he did not respond to the old ancestor's request - because she said "Don't see Mr. ", not "Don't see Mr.? ".
The old ancestor saw Fang Yan's expression, sighed softly and said: "Xiao Yanzi, I know this request is difficult for you, and I also know that you have encountered some unfair treatment - life is not easy for everyone. But, since it is already difficult, why do you want to put yourself in an even more dangerous situation?"
"Your grandfather is a smart man. I have lived for a hundred years, and I have rarely seen anyone smarter than him. He has done his best for your Fang family, and he has exhausted his mind to protect you, his only child. Back then, he came to our Ye family to challenge us, saying that our Wen Rou was not as good as their Fang Yan. Dao Wen and Dao Ling were unwilling to accept the challenge. It was me who agreed to let you and Wen Rou compete every year. I have also been a parent, so I can understand the difficulties of being a parent. Besides, letting you two children compete once a year can also promote each other. Do you think I didn't expect the result you have today? Do you think Dao Wen and Dao Ling didn't think about it before? It's just that I spoke up, and they can't refute my face anymore. "
"Everyone is hoping for the best for your Fang family. Your grandfather's leg is lame, and your father has met with that kind of disaster. Underestimating the enemy - the most regrettable thing for the Fang family is underestimating the enemy. If they had underestimated the enemy and nothing had happened, and if things were still the same as they were back then, who would dare to say a single word to your Fang family? Including those young boys in our family, who would dare to shout and tie up Fang Yan? Who would dare to shout and kill Fang Yan? Who would dare to take your grandfather out of the house in the middle of the night to discuss how to punish you?"
"Of course, they are also right. When the truth is unclear, it is understandable that they are angry. Count on your fingers, since the day Yanziwu appeared, who dared to break into the gate and the ancestral hall? No, never. It's the first time for you, Fang Yan-----Just for this matter, there are still people gossiping and gossiping. Just this morning, Ye Dongxue went to fight with the boss of the Qian family and broke his arm and thigh, and then they stopped---"
"When there are external enemies, Yanziwu is a whole. When there are no external enemies, Yanziwu fights each other and fights among itself. It's not just our village, other villages are the same - but, Fang Yan, there is only one person who can unite Yanziwu, and that is the Master. You can see the Master every day, but have you ever thought about why the Master is the Master? There are so many people in Yanziwu, and there are many old men and women, why can he, Long Qianxiang, become the Master?"
"-----" Fang Yan had asked this question before. The person he asked was the old drunkard. He said, old drunkard, why is the teacher the teacher, why can't you be the teacher? In terms of kung fu, you are the best in Yanziwu. The old drunkard's answer was, the teacher is the teacher of Yanziwu, and also my teacher. No matter how powerful the student is, he can't compare with the teacher.
At that time it was just a joke, Fang Yan asked casually, the old drunkard answered casually, and then the two continued drinking. Fang Yan didn't even carefully consider the deep meaning of the old drunkard's words.
"I have heard about your affairs, although I rarely care about those trivial and dirty things outside. Bai Xiu is dead, and the revenge has been taken. Let yourself rest for the time being, give yourself some time, and make yourself stronger. Isn't this the right way? Why do you have to force yourself so hard and make yourself live such a hard life?"
The old ancestor reached out and held Ye Wenrou's little hand, saying, "I tell you all this because I feel sorry for this child. I know your feelings, and I understand her personality. She will definitely support you unconditionally. She won't say anything, but she will do it with you. If you are safe, she will be safe too. If you take risks, she will take risks with you."
Fang Yan's gaze shifted to Ye Wenrou, who looked at him and smiled silently.
The old ancestor was right. She understood Ye Wenrou. This little girl in her family didn't talk much, but she always liked to express her feelings through actions. If Fang Yan stood against her husband, she would definitely stand against him without hesitation.
This puts the Ye family in a difficult position.
If the Ye family wants to protect Ye Wenrou, they must follow Fang Yan into the water.
If the Ye family doesn't protect Ye Wenrou, her life will be in danger again----
For some things, the elderly still have a longer-term perspective.
Fang Yan's throat moved, and he said in a deep voice: "Grandfather, you are doing this for my own good and for Wenrou's good. I fully understand your thoughts. Heaven and earth are conscientious. If it is just based on my own likes and dislikes, I am not willing to see the master. If it is not necessary, who is willing to offend the master of Yanziwu? Who is willing to go against the old guy who can train a freak like Bai Xiu?"
"But can I not go to see the master? No. Bai Xiu is the master's apprentice. Bai Xiu killed my father. What is the master's position in this matter? Does the master know or not? Is the master irrelevant or relevant? Sir - why did he do this?"
Fang Yan deliberately suppressed the anger in his heart, but his voice was still murderous.
The teacher was a teacher he respected, but his father was killed by his own disciple whom he respected - who wouldn't be angry if this happened
"I went to find the master to seek justice and to solve a mystery. If the master is still the master in my mind, then he should tell me the facts and let me know the truth. If the master is no longer the master in my mind, then even if I don't go to find him, won't the master take the initiative to find me? Instead of passively accepting it, like Bai Xiu ran to Huacheng to set up a killing trap to deal with me, it is better for me to go back to Yanziwu, stand in front of the master and tell him clearly - if he scolds me, I will scold him back. If he hits me, I will fight back. Even if I die, I will die in Yanziwu, in front of thousands of neighbors in Yanziwu-----"
The old ancestor sighed softly and said, "I knew I couldn't persuade you."
Fang Yan jumped up from the bed, bowed deeply to the old ancestor, and said: "Old ancestor, I am sorry for you this time-----"
This was also an old man he respected, an elder who wished him the best.
The old man waved his hand and said, "Didn't you ask Fengsheng to tell Wenrou a message? Then talk to her properly."
The old ancestor turned around and left, leaving Fang Yan and Ye Wenrou alone in the room again.
Fang Yan looked at Ye Wenrou and said, "I know that the ancestors are doing this for our own good."
"Yeah." Ye Wenrou nodded gently.
"But I can't agree to her. I think it's better to resolve this kind of thing earlier rather than later." Fang Yan explained seriously.
"Yeah." Ye Wenrou nodded again, her watery eyes looking at Fang Yan without blinking. She was calm and determined, but without any shyness of a little girl.
"What's your opinion?" Fang Yan asked. "What do you think?"
"I don't have any ideas." Ye Wenrou said. "Your ideas are my ideas."
"------"
After a while of silence, Fang Yan gritted his teeth and said, "In that case, I will go see you when I feel better."
"Okay." Ye Wenrou looked at Fang Yan and said, "I'll go with you."
"Don't go."
"Don't stop me."
"Don't always look at me like that------" Fang Yan felt a little guilty when Ye Wenrou looked at him, and said, "I'm a little embarrassed------"
"You are the man I like." Ye Wenrou's voice was like the tinkling of spring water, small but crisp. "Why can't I look at you a few more times?" (To be continued)
