Life lies in movement... especially in the morning.

The air in the early morning is fresh and there is no direct sunlight, making it a good time to skip rope.

I saw this rope at a roadside stall on the street. I had an idea and bought a bundle. I cut it and made a skipping rope of the right length. Situ Xi recently found that his body was really weak.

I was sweating profusely after just a few activities, so I decided to start a big exercise plan.

Qingyu and the others had never seen this kind of exercise before, so they thought it was novel. She even clamored to try it, but she was hit on her hands and head by the rope, and almost tripped to the ground. Maybe she thought of the three days yesterday.

After Madam's experience, she never touched the skipping rope again.

The day's plan was in the morning. After skipping rope, Situ Xi ran to the path outside the yard and started running back.

He used branches to draw a few lines on the soil, and every time he ran to touch them, he ran back again. Before he had finished running, he was so tired that he panted and fell to the ground.

"Uncle, your physical strength is really poor, you can't survive after just this."

Zhongli Min was doing some work for a female celebrity in the courtyard. Qingyu took a stool and sat on the edge looking at Situ Xi. After finishing her work, she listened to Zhongli Min's arrangement and came to accompany Situ Xi to exercise.

"What do you know? This round trip seems to be a short distance, but I am actually tired after running it. Furthermore, this is about comparing who can run faster, it is about training for bursts! It is not about how long it lasts!" Situ Xi usually doesn't argue with others.

Unless it involves something he cares about.

"Yes, yes, my uncle is the fastest! But my uncle is really awesome. He scared me yesterday, and I just recovered from it today. Thinking back to the fearful looks of those people when we came back from the house, I feel relieved!"

Qingyu waved her white little fists and looked at Situ Xi with longing in her eyes. Her uncle was standing in front of her yesterday.

"That has nothing to do with me."

"I know, I know. If I didn't have my uncle yesterday, I might have been seriously injured. I might not be able to talk to you today."

"Today I heard from the young lady that my uncle's poems are also very amazing. You can solve problems that even the master can't solve. You can also tell stories. Today there are so many novel ways to strengthen your body. My uncle is really omnipotent. What's the point?

You can’t?”

This girl has become a loyal fan of Situ Xi. Seeing her brainless and enthusiastic look, she may really think that her uncle is a god descending to earth.

"That's too much, like giving birth to a baby." Situ Xi lay on the ground and did a few more sit-ups until he used up the last bit of strength in his body, then he slumped down on the ground with his hands behind his back and looked at her seriously.

road.

Qingyu's cheeks were slightly red, and when she heard this, she quickly turned her head away, not daring to look at him.

The surrounding area became quiet, a few leaves fell into the bushes, and a rustling sound suddenly came from the bushes beside him, and Situ Xi frowned.

Anyone?

The dense leaves in the bush swayed, and Situ Xi stood up alertly and stared at the other side of the woods.

Suddenly, a thin body emerged from the woods covered with branches and leaves. He staggered and bumped into Situ Xi. Situ Xi quickly stepped back and looked carefully, he turned out to be a child with a dirty face.

, he kept coughing and his breath was a little weak. When he looked up at Situ Xi, he murmured two words: "Dad...Dad."

Then he fell to the ground and fainted from exhaustion.

The breeze blew and the leaves rustled again. Situ Xi lowered his guard and had a strange look on his face. Was he just calling him?

Slightly dazed, Qingyu stared at the dirty child on the ground. After being silent for a while, her expression suddenly changed and her little face turned red.

"Miss, my uncle has a child!"

…

Gently wiping off the dust on the child's face, Zhong Lixin put the white handkerchief into a wooden bucket filled with water. The dirt spread instantly, and the child's delicate face became clear in their eyes.

Qingyu came back with another bucket of water. Situ Xi sat in the yard, still a little worried. Could this child really be a legacy of his predecessor?

Probably, it's unlikely.

A few slight coughs were heard, and Situ Xi sat up suddenly, walked into the door with a smile, and saw the little boy's face that was completely different from his own, and he was slightly relieved.

"Save my daddy!"

As soon as these words came out, Situ Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

Qingyu stuck out her tongue at Situ Xi, feeling a little embarrassed, but it was just that the child had just called his uncle that way, and it was hard not to make people think about it.

"Little guy, tell me slowly, who is your father? What happened to you? Do you know me? And why does a man appear alone in the woods to the east of the city?"

Situ Xi stood beside the bed. He had many doubts. His yard was very remote, and because there were often petty officials patrolling here, except for the three people in his family and the officials responsible for inspecting his situation, there were only three people in his house.

Basically there are no other people coming and going. Why is this kid doing here alone?

Moreover, he claimed that he wanted to save his father. Could it be that he was an acquaintance from his previous life?

"Sir, dad was taken away by government officials this morning. Please save him!"

The little boy sat up from the bed eagerly and looked at Situ Xi with tears in his eyes.

"Who is your father?"

"Yes, yes, this is a letter written by dad. He said that your husband is from Zhaoguo. Dad is also from Zhaoguo. You must save him." The little boy hurriedly found another letter in his arms.

.

As soon as these words came out, Situ Xi's pupils froze, he took the envelope from the boy's hand and was about to open it.

"Bang bang bang" a knock on the door sounded.

Everyone was shocked, these officials moved so fast.

…

After hiding the child, Situ Xi put the letter in his bag, whispered "Wait a moment", and walked slowly to the gate of the courtyard.

When the courtyard door was opened, Situ Xi's expression relaxed, it was really a lively place today.

The person who came was none other than the old businessman Fan who I had met several times.

"Greetings to the Nine Kings. I didn't see Mount Tai before. I neglected you. Please don't blame me."

Mr. Fan's voice was still energetic, but his words were no longer as casual as before, and he was extremely respectful when he bent down to salute.

"Except the old man, any Nine Kings, just call me Young Master, little friend or brother Xi, whatever you like." Situ Xi smiled, greeted the old man to enter the courtyard, and then closed the courtyard door.

The people came to the stone table in the small courtyard and sat down across from each other.

"Why are you looking for me today?" Situ Xi asked straight to the point. Fan Lao clearly knew his identity from his words just now. He also deliberately hinted last time that he could come to Chengdong Private Courtyard if he was in trouble. It seems that

This old man is really in trouble.

"To be honest, I came to visit today because I really have something to ask for."

Seeing that the visitor was an acquaintance of Situ Xi, Zhong Limin personally came out to refill tea for the two of them. When the tea cups were filled with fragrant tea, Mr. Fan thanked her repeatedly.

"Mr. Fan, is it because of the imperial list?"
