Chapter 28 Ji Changdao
It has been more than half a month since the Zhang family was wiped out.
Without the exploitation of the Zhang family and benefiting from the Zhang family's property, the life of the villagers in Taoyuan Village has become better and better, but even so, the simple and hard-working villagers will not be disappointed because they suddenly obtained a fortune.
Even though they are lazy, they still go out to sea to fish and work in the fields. After all, this is the basis of their survival.
A sailboat appeared on the waters of Taoyuan Island, which had always been calm and had no outsiders coming and going. Judging from the shape of the ship and its layout, it was determined that it was an official ship, and there was also a group of officers and soldiers in fancy uniforms standing on the ship.
"Sir...is it just ahead?" A young man with a monkey spirit came to the bow of the ship and asked an eight-foot-tall man.
This big man's eyes were tough, as strong as a pine tree. He looked in the direction of Taoyuan Island, feeling very uneasy, nervous and excited.
"You're the only one who's nosy." The big man immediately strangled the young man's neck, rubbed his head vigorously, and laughed, "You're the only one who's nosy, and you didn't even bother to see what he had to do."
"Sir, don't be so serious. We have all been through the battle to find immortals, and we are still afraid of this." It seems that this young man saw the tense mood of the big man and came here specifically to make him relax.
"Haha... Sir, this guy is absolutely right this time. There is really nothing to be nervous about." The soldiers on the side also laughed heartily.
That's right! Home is coming soon, so there's nothing to be nervous about. The big man took a big breath of sea breeze and tried to calm himself down as much as possible.
…………
"Dad, there is a boat..." On Taoyuan Island, Daniel, who was still drying his fishing net, suddenly heard a sound coming from the sea on the horizon. When he looked carefully, he saw the shadow of the boat.
"Ship?" Heizi looked into the distance, and sure enough he saw a boat slowly approaching from far to near. Moreover, the size and shape of the boat was not an ordinary fishing boat. Heizi whispered with a puzzled look on his face, "
How come there is a ship coming?"
"Dad, this is an official ship." Daniel's eyes were sharp and he could vaguely see the clothes of the people on the ship from a distance.
"What? Are you sure..." When Heizi heard that it was an official ship, his heart sank. Could it be that he was here to investigate the Zhang family's affairs? No wonder Heizi would think so. After all, the Zhang family
The master is still a small official appointed by the imperial court.
"That's right. I saw that everyone on the boat was wearing the same clothes." Daniel said with great certainty.
"No... hurry up, Daniel, go back to the village and tell everyone first so that everyone can be prepared and see what countermeasures Master Ji has."
"knew……"
What is supposed to come will still come, and we must remain unchanged to cope with all changes! Heizi, who was feeling heavy, couldn't help but sigh.
As the official ship got closer and closer, Heizi's mood became heavier and heavier.
"Hmm... This person looks familiar?" Heizi looked at the eight-foot strong man in the lead and couldn't help but be puzzled. However, he was so worried now that he didn't remember who it was for a while, but he stepped forward and asked with a smile.
, "My lords, you have worked hard on the road. I wonder what kind of official business you are here to do? Do you need a small favor?"
The eight-foot strong man did not answer Heizi's words, but looked at Heizi and laughed.
"Did you say something wrong?" Heizi continued to ask with an ugly face.
"What's wrong? Brother Hei, it's only been a few years and you don't remember me anymore." The strong man said happily, "It's me..."
"You..." Heizi looked at the strong man in confusion, and after a brief recognition, he shouted, "It's... it's you, Changdao? Ji Changdao?"
"Yes...it's me, Ji Changdao! Brother Hei." Ji Changdao gave Heizi a big hug.
"It'll be good when you're back! It'll be good when you're back!"
Heizi was also crying with joy. The two tall and powerful people even cried happily at this moment.
"By the way, Brother Hei, how's Qing'er doing? And where are my children? Where's my father-in-law? Where's my second uncle? Are they doing well?" As soon as Ji Changdao let go of Hei Zi, he was impatient.
Waiting to ask further questions.
"They..." Heizi's eyes dodge, he really doesn't know how to tell Ji Changdao the truth, "You'll know when you get home?"
Seeing Heizi's hesitant expression, Ji Changdao couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling. Did something happen? He originally had a lot of things to say, but now he couldn't say anything. Ji Changdao couldn't help but feel.
Changdao led the soldiers and followed Heizi silently. Before they reached the village, they saw the men, women, and children in the village approaching with sticks.
"It's Changdao, Changdao is back."
After Heizi shouted this, the villagers were stunned, and their tense mood immediately relaxed, and some of them even screamed happily. But Ji Changdao, who saw this scene, was even more upset.
Because in the crowd, not only did he not see Su Qing'er, he also didn't see his father-in-law.
"Second Uncle...I'm back!" Ji Changdao came to Second Uncle Ji and shouted happily and nervously.
"It'll be good when we're back." In fact, Master Ji recognized the leader Ji Changdao from a distance, but when he thought about Su Qing'er, he really didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
"Second uncle... where is Qing'er? Why haven't you seen him?" Ji Changdao asked strangely. What made him feel bad was that everyone became quiet as soon as he mentioned Su Qing'er.
, no one dared to look into his questioning eyes.
"Come on! I'll take you to see Su Yatou." Second Master Ji sighed.
"Second uncle, what's wrong with your legs?" Ji Changdao became a little angry when he saw Second Master Ji limping with a cane. Before he left, Second Master Ji was still very strong. It would be impossible for him to become this person in a few years.
It looks like this.
"Just leave it alone? Let's take you to Su Yatou's place first!"
Ji Changdao followed behind Mr. Ji. His steps were so heavy that he didn't dare to think about it, so he could only follow silently. He was walking exactly the way he went home.
"Go there by yourself!" Master Ji pointed in the direction of Su Qing'er's grave and then sat quietly in front of the house, smoking a hookah.
Ji Changdao had only walked a few steps when he saw Su Qing'er's grave. When a big man like him saw Su Qing'er's grave, he seemed to have lost all his strength and fell softly to the ground, slowly
Climbing to Su Qing'er's grave, he stroked the rough stele with his trembling hands, and his eyes lost focus, but the words on the stele were so clearly reflected in his mind: The story of the loving mother Ji Shi Su Qing'er.
Tomb of Ziji Wenli.
"Ah...why...why..." Ji Changdao burst into laughter and cried. He hugged Su Qing'er's tombstone tightly. He really couldn't accept all this.
"Sir, what's wrong with him?" The soldiers parked in the village could hear Ji Changdao's tragic cry. They wanted to ask the villagers, but no one wanted to answer.
"I'm going to see you, sir..." the monkey-like young soldier said anxiously.
"Come back..." Some older people seemed to have guessed something and shouted loudly to stop.
All day and night, Ji Changdao held Su Qing'er's tombstone without moving it.
"Second uncle, what's going on?" Ji Changdao asked Ji Erye in despair.
Second Master Ji blew out a smoke screen and told Ji Changdao everything that happened in the past ten years one by one: "It's the Zhang family, Zhang Jizhi...it's also me, it's me who didn't protect them..."
"Zhang Jizhi..." Ji Changdao gritted his teeth and grimaced, and was about to rush to the Zhang family to avenge Zhang Jizhi.
"You don't need to go. The Zhang family is gone." Mr. Ji said calmly, as if he was talking about an insignificant matter.
"No more?"
"Well... just half a month ago, more than 80 members of the Zhang family were wiped out overnight." Mr. Ji said so cheerfully, "It was Wen'er who did it... Su Yatou's revenge, her son
Reported."
"Wen'er? Impossible, how old is he?" Ji Changdao's face was full of doubt.
"Impossible? Haha... Do you know where your son spent time after his mother died? It was in the forest." Mr. Ji almost roared, "There are so many things in the forest.
You know the danger best. But do you know how long he stayed there? Seven years! A whole seven years! He was only five years old at that time. How much do you know about the suffering he suffered?"
"In the forest... Wen'er spent seven years in the forest?" Ji Changdao fell to the ground. He really couldn't imagine the scene at that time. He thought that he had also stayed in the forest before, so there was no danger inside.
Even now, he doesn't have the confidence to survive.
"What about Wen'er now? Where is he?" Ji Changdao asked hurriedly.
"He left. He left the night he destroyed the Zhang family half a month ago. As for where he went, he didn't say anything." After a pause, Second Master Ji mentioned it to Ji Changdao, "But in
Before leaving, he said that he might go find you."
"Why?" Ji Changdao murmured feebly.
"If you could come back early, maybe you could meet him, but you didn't." Second Master Ji took a puff of cigarette and continued, "If you could come back within five years as agreed, you could also meet Ji Wen.
After all, in order to wait for you, he postponed his revenge for several years, and as a result, he suffered from the hatred in his heart for several more years. You...sigh..."
"Yes...it's me. I'm sorry for the mother and son." Ji Changdao shed tears of regret.
"What are your plans for the future?" Mr. Ji could tell by looking at the condition of Ji Changdao's return that he would not be able to stay on Taoyuan Island for a long time.
"Second uncle, please leave with me! If Wen'er really goes to the empire, then I will go back, and I still have unfinished business there."
"Leave?" Mr. Ji said firmly, "It's impossible! I have promised Ji Wen to take care of this place for him."
"Second uncle..."
"Stop talking. Maybe what you can do for us now is to solve the last hidden danger for Wen'er and Taoyuan Village."
"I know how to do it! Second uncle, whether you want it or not, I will come to pick you up after I have settled the matter over there. I will also take Qing'er with me at that time. I will not let Qing'er go again.
Chapter completed!
