Chapter 32 Life Experience
He wiped away the fine sweat on his forehead, turned around, and found Chen Xiu's face sticking out from the door frame of the Chen family's main hall. When he saw him, he opened his mouth slightly, as if silently asking, "How are you doing?" ".
Li Wuxi showed her a smile and nodded. Chen Xiu jumped on the spot and waved to him, and Li Wuxiang slowly walked over.
When he arrived at the entrance to the main hall, he found that all eight doors were open - he remembered that he had only opened two before meeting Zhao Qi. The main hall of the Chen family is high and deep. When it was still the residence of the mayor, it should have been a place for entertaining guests. It seems that there were originally two rows of tables and chairs. But now there is only a square table in the main hall, surrounded by four stools, and a plain wooden screen is placed at the back door to separate the front and back of the main hall. It doesn't look grand like this, but it's spacious and clean, more like an ordinary wealthy family's home.
Chen Xiu was at the door, while Chen Xin and Liu Jiao were sitting at the table, talking as before. But there was a pot of tea and four teacups on the table, obviously prepared for the coming guests.
Li Wuxiang knew that the guest they were waiting for should be him.
The old shopkeeper of Chen's grocery store mistook him for the young master of Lijiawan. This identity suddenly brought him a lot of convenience, but it also brought inconvenience. For example, right now, his status is similar to that of a prince who lost his country and came to the court of a neighboring country. As the town leader, Chen Xin must take a good look at himself. Therefore, now is the last step to take root in this world.
He stood in front of the door and saluted the two of them first: "Junior Li Jiye, thank you to the mayor and his wife."
After he said this, Liu Jiao stood up immediately, with a smile on her face, walked to the door in a few steps and took one of his hands: "Come on, come in and talk, let me take a look - tsk tsk, you are so pitiful, what a good person you are." Young Master, come and sit down.”
She pulled Li Wuxiang to the table, pressed his shoulders and told him to sit down. This made him a little surprised - Liu Jiao looked like an ordinary woman, without any pretense, and very friendly.
He looked slightly panicked, and wanted to stand up after sitting down, but Chen Xin patted him on the shoulder and smiled at him: "Sit down, sit down, I have nothing to be particular about here."
Li Wuxiang nodded again: "Yes, thank you, Lord Town."
Chen Xin suddenly laughed: "What do you call the town leader? You can just call me uncle. It's not easy for you young man to survive all the way down. It's said that if you survive a catastrophe, you will be lucky. My grocery store My old friend told me that you arrived in Jinshui. I still couldn’t believe it. Master Zhao Xian went to see you yesterday and told me that this was really the case. Only then did I know, alas, your parents—”
Coming.
At this time, Chen Xin behaved like a friendly old farmer, a child who saw his daughter and asked her how he was. But Li Wuxiang knew that Chen Xin was not really what he seemed. These days, he asked clearly about the situation of the current town owner and his family.
The town owner of Jinshui has always been named Chen. Chen Xin's family of three is considered a branch of the Chen family, and they were about to have five servers. His experience would be a legendary novel if written down - he was ostracized and bullied by his fellow tribesmen when he was young, and had to leave Jinshui to make a living. After that, he lived a good life in Qingjiang City, and had a wife and daughter. He originally planned to take his old parents to live there, but it was too late. Because of the one acre of thin farmland and the house, his old parents had been bullied to death by members of the same clan.
Chen Xin returned to Jinshui to ask for an explanation, but was almost beaten to death. After escaping back to Qingjiang City, he found some brothers and asked a powerful nobleman in the city for help. On a dark and windy night, he fought back to Jinshui, wiped out the Chen clan, and seized the position of town leader.
These are the opinions of the people in the town, and there must be other inside stories, but these alone show that Chen Xin's temperament is by no means as kind and amiable as he appears, and the city is at least deeper than Zhao Qi. And these few sentences just now - it sounds like every sentence is saying that he is Li Jiye, but none of them really explains it. Li Wuxiang knew that he might still have some doubts about his identity.
The key thing is that he also asked about "father and mother". As long as he accepts these words, he will naturally talk about Lijiawan again. Li Wuxiang was sure that Chen Xin did not know the details of the Li family in Lijiawan, but as long as there was a slight omission, he would not be able to hide it in front of Chen Xin. He had thought about this situation before coming here and prepared several excuses. When he was about to speak, Chen Xiu on the side spoke first.
"Dad!" Chen Xiu frowned and glared at his old father, "Why are you asking if you don't open a pot or lift it? I saw him crying yesterday!"
Chen Xin patted his forehead: "Oh, okay, I'm old and confused - kid, don't take it to heart."
At this time, Liu Jiao came over and pinched Chen Xiu's ears: "You don't want to imitate other young masters. You are no older than your father. Come with me to get food and ask your father to enlighten him!"< br>
Chen Xiu groaned, but was still dragged away by her mother.
The hall fell silent for a moment, and Li Wuxiang sat with his hands on his knees and his eyebrows lowered. Chen Xin poured him a cup of tea, sighed, and was about to speak again. Li Wuxiang said first: "Chen...Old man, I have nothing to miss in this world."
Chen Xin was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"
Then he smiled and said: "Hey, what did you say as a child? How old are you? How could you not-"
But Li Wuxiang left the bench, took a step back, stood in front of Chen Xin, and looked at his chest: "Old man, don't blame me. According to what my father told me before he was alive, with an identity like mine, I have to go to other towns to do my job." I can’t move around at will. I have to visit the local town owner first. I should have come to visit you long ago. But... these days, I’m thinking, what do I want in this world?”
"When I was floating in the river, I thought I was going to die. At that time, I didn't want anything but to live. When I was rescued, I felt that I had figured it out... I just wanted to live and the people around me Live. I... Don't blame me, uncle. I have heard about you these days. You could... avenge your parents, but I can't do anything, let alone have any revenge."

Li Wuxiang took a deep breath, with tears in his eyes: "Maybe God is to blame, but how can I get revenge from God? I remembered that I heard the immortal master in the town say that spiritual practice is a path of rebellion. Heavenly Road, I figured it out, I no longer want any family fortune or wealth, I just want to live against heaven. It took away my family but not me, then...then I want to cultivate. Give birth to immortality! ”
"Old man, you must also know that immortality is rare. Thanks to Miss Chen, I have obtained immortality. Then I just want to be a disciple of Master Zhao Xian. Wherever he goes, I will practice with him."
The old farmer's smile on Chen Xin's face slowly faded.
