Take a Door with You - Chapter 190
Chapter 190 A letter from a wanderer! See you at last brother! [Ask for a monthly pass! 】
Cao Zhang and others stayed in Qishan for a month, and visited Qishan, including the nearby towns, before returning.
Departure in February.
Arrival in April.
May left.
This trip not only had a good time in Qishan, but also passed many towns and mountains and rivers on the way back and forth. In this not-so-stable world, it was a rare experience.
Along the way.
There is Cao Xin, a genius doctor.
Including Cao Ren. At the end of the year before last, he reached the fifth level of the “Shou Shiqing Compilation and Adjustment Technique”.
Last year.
Tips many times, successfully capped and reached level 12.
A body with a ‘dense purple energy’ is not inferior to the previous Cao Xin. It is not a problem to take care of the whole family, and it is more guaranteed.
Therefore, there are no worries along the way, and everyone is very happy.
When I returned to Caojiazhuang, it was already June.
Cao An was still young, so Cao Xin came back with him as a double insurance.
Wei Feifei also followed, saying on the surface that she was homesick and wanted to go back to Weijiabao.
actually—
Know it well!
After returning to Caojiazhuang, Cao Xin originally wanted to go to Weijiabao with Wei Feifei, not to meet the parents, but mainly to thank Weijiabao for taking care of Caojiazhuang in recent years.
Qianyou four years to Qianyou eight years.
Four years.
If it weren’t for Weijiabao’s multi-faceted care, Caojiazhuang would not be so smooth or even comfortable.
Thanks for both emotion and reason.
But the plan cannot keep up with the changes.
The second day back to Caojiazhuang.
Congratulations!
…
“Five! Five!”
Cao Ren was pleasantly surprised, and ran into Cao Xinyuan, knocking on the door, completely devoid of his usual calmness as the owner of the villa.
Tap a few times.
No movement.
He just stood guard outside the door, unable to sit or stand, circling back and forth, holding a letter in his hand, turning it over and over again, unable to read enough.
Wait a minute.
Knock for a while.
that’s it.
After a quarter of an hour.
Cao Xin finally pushed the door out from the house.
Look at the sky, about three or four o’clock in the afternoon.
“Brother, why are you in such a hurry?”
Cao Xin looked at Cao Ren.
Cao Ren didn’t say a word, just stuffed two letters over, and then said: “It’s a letter from my second son, from Shangjing!”
“Second child?”
“Second Brother?!”
Cao Xin was surprised.
This is not the ‘first letter’ from ‘Second Brother’—
Since last May, the “Missing Person Notice” published in “Jianghu Xunbao” has spread, and quite a few people with bad intentions have come to bluff and deceive.
A few of them are swaggering and coming to the door in person.
Most of them wrote letters to cheat money.
Like this kind of letter calling himself “Cao Yi”, Cao Xin read 80 or 100 letters in a year.
Based on the attitude of ‘I would rather kill a mistake than let it go’, Caojiazhuang went to investigate and verify every letter, and finally proved that it was indeed a liar.
This time.
is the same.
Cao Xin’s first reaction: Another liar.
But seeing the excited expression of the eldest brother, he quickly realized that this time might be different.
He took the letter and unfolded it.
Ten lines at a glance!
soon!
Cao Xin also became excited: “It’s the second brother!”
“It must be him!”
“The few things mentioned above, only our brothers know!”
Cao Ren was sure a long time ago, and he looked at Cao Xin: “In Shangjing! He and my younger sister are both in Shangjing! This letter has been written and mailed since the first lunar month. This is the fourth letter, and this is the seventh letter. The second child is also very anxious. !”
Cao Xin also read two letters.
The content is almost the same.
But marked.
Presumably the second brother was worried that the journey between Shangjing and Xijing was too far away, so he only sent a letter, which might be lost. If you only find one mailing channel, you may be cheated.
It was only then that I wrote a lot and sent a lot.
It turns out.
Second brother is right to worry.
From January to June.
After half a year, only two letters successfully arrived at Caojiazhuang, and in the hands of Cao Ren and Cao Xin.
If these two letters are missing, maybe the time for their brothers to reunite will be later.
As for rushing back from Shangjing to Xijing alone, to Caojiazhuang in person—
Don’t think about it at all.
Traveling far is not easy!
Cao Ren and Cao Xin read the contents of the letter and knew the current location and situation of the second child Cao Yi. They were pleasantly surprised for a while.
Cao Ren’s black face was reddened even darker, and his eyes were burning. He looked at Cao Xin: “Are you going to Xijing alone, or do you ask Master to help and gather a group of masters to go there together?”
Shenhou Mansion!
Condor Hero!
Chongxian Conference!
These are all major events that happened in Xijing Mansion not long ago.
Although Cao Ren never asked about Cao Xin, he also knew that ‘Yang Guo’ must be ‘Cao Xin’. It is precisely because of the divine sculpture that he can travel between Qishan and Xijing frequently and quickly.
Sitting on a divine sculpture.
It is known as “to find the fairy mountain, to meet the fairy”.
Going to Beijing must not be a problem.
But after all, it involves long-lost brothers and sisters, Cao Ren will inevitably lose his temper and be more cautious.
Barry is only half of 90!
Before Cao Yi and Cao Shu returned to Caojiazhuang, he didn’t want the slightest accident to happen.
So is Cao Xin.
“Without further delay!”
“Long nights and dreams!”
“I’m leaving now, I’ll talk to my second brother and younger sister first!”
Cao Xin couldn’t wait.
It has been half a year since the second brother sent the letter, although judging from the letter, Cao Yi’s side has always been safe and there is no danger.
But it must be guarded against.
Go early and good morning.
“it is good!”
“Then you go!”
“be careful!”
Cao Ren didn’t say anything this time. In fact, compared to his master Duan Chong, he believed in the ability of his younger brother Cao Xin, the “banished immortal”.
Cao Xin didn’t write any ink, put the letter away, and said to Cao Ren: “Don’t tell mother about this before I come back.”
“Ok!”
Cao Ren responded.
Immediately, Cao Xin left Caojiazhuang, summoned the divine sculpture, soared into the sky, and went straight to Shangjing!
…
It was June and the sun was shining brightly.
This day, early morning.
Yang Yi’s face was dark, and he returned to his residence in the back street of Zheng Guogong’s mansion.
This is a miscellaneous courtyard, where all the servants of the Duke’s Mansion live. Yang Yi’s qualifications are average, and he only occupies an inverted room with the back of the sun.
But after all, it is Shangjing, where every inch of land is expensive. It is good enough to have a single room that can shelter from wind and rain.
Yang Yi is also very satisfied.
Before this year, his biggest wish was to live for two more years, save more money, and preferably see his younger sister grow up.
As for myself.
The fault that fell from childhood, a sick child, I have long since given up hope.
The only regret is that I may not see my family before I die.
But unexpectedly, inadvertently, a turning point came.
“Jianghu Xunbao!”
Back in the house, Yang Yi picked up the newspaper that he had read countless times in the past six months, especially the column of ‘Missing Person Notice’, his heart was full of joy and hope.
Three years since Tianfu, separated from his family.
Yang Yi struggled to survive with his younger sister, and at the same time worried about the safety of his family members who left at the beginning.
A blink of an eye.
Seven or eight years have passed.
Never expected that I would regain their news in this way.
“Xijing Prefecture.”
“Caojiazhuang.”
“They are doing well, and they have never given up looking for me and magpies.”
“Ahem—”
Yang Yi coughed twice, his eyes bright.
He just saw this newspaper at the end of the year, and when he first saw the missing person notice, in the next few days, he asked people to find out the details of “Jianghu Xunbao”.
General understanding.
“Jianghu Xunbao” has an extraordinary background, and even the major yamen of the imperial court have to subscribe.
To be able to publish a “Missing Person Notice” in such a publication, and to publish it in every issue, and it takes half a year or a year to publish it. It is said that it costs thousands of dollars.
In Yang Yi’s view, this is an astronomical figure.
Being willing to spend so much money shows that the condition of the family is very good now.
“Our family has become an old rich man now!”
Yang Yi was full of hope.
After reading the old newspapers, I tidied up my face and body, put on clean clothes, and went out with the twenty-fourth letter written a few days ago.
He will continue to send letters.
Then stop by and ask if the previous twenty-three letters have been sent and where they have been sent.
“Shangjing to Xijing.”
“There are five or six provinces in the middle.”
“Not so fast.”
Yang Yi was also in a hurry, but he comforted himself not to be in a hurry: “The letter will be sent, and Dad and the others will come over again. It will take half a year to come and go.”
So Yang Yi stabilized his mind and waited slowly.
but.
Wandering outside for half a day.
The twenty-fourth letter was sent out, but the first twenty-three letters have not been answered yet.
Yang Yi gradually became anxious.
The beacon fire lasted for three months, and the family letter was worth ten thousand gold.
In the current Daliang, it would cost a lot of money to send a letter from Shangjing to Xijing.
Yang Yi’s wealth accumulated in seven or eight years has already taken half of it.
He was worried, what should he do if the family’s wealth is gone and there is still no response?
One penny can stump a hero!
For Yang Yi—
I am a sick child.
My sister is too young.
You can’t live without money.
Yes.
Happiness—expectation—waiting—anxiety.
loops continuously.
In the past six months, the more time passes, the more painful it becomes.
It’s halfway through the day.
Yang Yi dragged his exhausted body back from outside.
Just came back.
There was an elder brother ‘Wang Zhu’ who lived in the same hospital and had a good relationship with him and ran out to face him. When he saw him, he hurriedly said: “Xiao Yang, you came back just in time. Someone was looking for him in the room, and they said it was your younger brother. Martha, you don’t look like an ordinary person, go back to the house and have a look.”
“younger brother?!”
Yang Yi was stunned.
My head was buzzing, blank.
Afterwards, he saw a person walking out behind Uncle Zhu.
Green clothes!
tall!
With a sword on his waist, so angry!
“you-“
Yang Yi looked at it, completely unable to recognize which brother it was.
When Tianfu was separated for three years, the third brother Cao Li was ten years old, the fourth brother Cao Zhi was dead, the fifth brother Cao Xin was six years old, the sixth brother Cao Wen was dead, and the seventh brother Cao Liang was four years old.
Eight years have passed.
Cao Li was eighteen years old.
Cao Xin is fourteen years old.
Cao Liang was twelve years old.
“Are you the third child?”
Yang Yi looked at the tall man, at a loss. He looked at this person, his heart was pounding, his breathing was suddenly short of breath, he couldn’t help but bent down, coughing continuously, he was almost out of breath, his face was pale and sickly red.
“Second brother—”
Seeing this, Cao Xin took two steps forward to help his second brother pat his back. Taking a closer look, he found that the second elder brother had a lot of gray hair on his temples.
haggard.
Sick appearance.
The figure is thin and the clothes are shabby.
Cao Xin had a sore nose and bent over to support his second brother.
After eight years.
The memory of the time has long been blurred, and Cao Xin can’t remember clearly the appearance of the second brother. The second brother who was taller than him and took him to play, is now far inferior to him in size, even inferior to the eldest brother, only a little taller than Cao Xian, and he does not look like he was young at all.
However, he and his eldest brother have the same mother, and from the facial features, they can vaguely see some similarities.
only.
at this time.
He was weak and sick.
Obviously, the second brother’s life over the years has not been as good as he wrote in the letter.
Cao Xin just patted, caressed, and looked lightly, his thoughts were confused, and finally Wang Zhu broke the silence: “You brothers, don’t stop standing here, come in and sit down. Brother, let me tell you , your brother has not been easy these past few years. When he first came here, he was so small that a gust of wind could blow him away, and he brought a younger sister who was just able to walk. If Miss Biao hadn’t been kind, I wouldn’t have seen you today.”
This Wang Zhu is a talkative person.
Cao Xin hadn’t talked much with his second brother, but he talked about what happened to his second brother over the years.
Wait until the brothers enter the house.
“Talk, two brothers, talk about it.”
Wang Zhu knew how to play, strode out, and drove out the neighbors in the courtyard who were watching outside the house: “Let’s go! Let the two brothers talk to each other, and don’t let this make trouble.”
After a burst of noise outside, the room became quiet.
Seeing the abnormal flush on the second brother’s face, Cao Xin knew that it was an internal friction caused by his emotional agitation, so he immediately pulled him to sit down, started the “Shou Shiqing’s Arrangement of Body Technique”, and put his whole body of “Moon Technique Internal Force” It turned into a ‘dense purple qi’, crossed into the second brother’s body, and felt the pulse by the way, his brows were slightly wrinkled and then quickly stretched, and he smiled at the second brother: “Second brother, this is tuberculosis caused by wind and cold, it’s not a big problem, it can last up to a year , and you will be healed.”
“Here-“
“A year to heal?”
Yang Yi looked at the ‘third brother’ and said in surprise: “Young brother, you know how to do medicine?”
He has tuberculosis, and he can’t live for a few years.
The third child is comforting him?
Or simply a quack?
Yang Yi’s eyes widened.
Cao Xin heard the meaning, and he was not in a hurry to explain this, but smiled: “Second brother, I am Cao Xin.”
“…”
“Five?”
Yang Yi widened his eyes, looked at Cao Xin’s size, and opened his mouth: “Are you only fourteen?”
Fourteen!
so tall?
Still running to him alone?
“right.”
“August, fourteenth.”
Cao Xin nodded, and continued to enter the ‘dense purple energy’.
Yang Yi realized at this moment: “Huh?”
The body is indeed much more comfortable.
Out of breath.
I don’t cough either.
The long-lost comfort.
Cao Xin knew that the second brother was full of doubts, so he combed his body for the second brother and explained to him: “A few days ago, Zhuangshang received two letters from the second brother. Let’s go.”
“you-“
“you alone?”
Yang Yi was taken aback.
“right.”
“one person.”
“Second brother, don’t think I’m only fourteen. I’m not small. You’ll know it later. Otherwise, you know the temper of big brother. It’s impossible for me to come here alone.”
Cao Xin laughed.
“It’s quite powerful.”
Yang Yi nodded blankly.
It is unimaginable to be able to go from Xijing to Shangjing alone at the age of fourteen. He is twenty years old now, and he doesn’t even have the courage to take his younger sister to Xijing to find relatives.
Cao Xin is alone!
can not imagine!
Yang Yi was a little embarrassed while speaking.
Facing a younger brother who is completely and almost completely unfamiliar, he is tall and burly, dressed in rich clothes and swords, with a face of glory and confidence, as if he and him are from two worlds.
In this younger brother, Yang Yi sees an aura that is far more noble than that of the young masters in the Duke’s mansion.
Make him strange.
Awesome.
Cao Xin saw the embarrassment of the second brother. He had just met again. He was not in a hurry, and he still kept pace. He took the initiative to introduce the experience of their family over the years to the second brother, and the situation of the family after they were separated.
Third brother Cao Li.
Papa Cao Kun.
died successively.
Then the rest of Cao Zhang, Cao Ren, Cao Xian, Cao Xin, Cao Liang, a family of five, arrived in Xijing.
Enter Caishui Gang from Cao Ren.
Then the two brothers successively apprenticed to Duan Chong and his wife.
From Juyi Escort to Caojiazhuang.
From the eldest brother’s marriage and childbirth, to Qishan.
Eight years of separation.
Things are right and people are wrong.
Yang Yi listened, immersed in it, as if he was actually there.
Hearing that my third brother and father died of illness one after another, it is hard to accept. Hearing that the rest of the people had arrived in Xijing and were getting better and better, they couldn’t help but shed tears.
Especially when I heard that my eldest brother got married and gave birth to a daughter, I was even more excited.
“it is good!”
“very nice!”
Yang Yi wiped his tears, and the sense of alienation and strangeness with Cao Xin gradually dissipated.
