Fast Wear: A Different Life

Chapter 224 Lotus Tower (27)

After entering the city, Li Xiangyi drove the carriage straight to the inn where he and Ji Xiao had rested when they returned. Fang Duobing, together with his mother and a group of people, followed closely behind Li Xiangyi.

After a short rest and reorganization, Fang Duobing's mother arranged for her men to stay here after listening to what Fang Duobing said, while she and Fang Duobing followed Li Xiangyi's carriage and continued to head towards Yunding Mountain.

About an hour later, the group finally arrived at Yunding Mountain. When they arrived, it was still bright in the sky. After Li Xiangyi whispered to Ji Xiao, he dragged his single sword and walked towards his master's grave.

After the others walked away, Ji Xiao turned around and said to Fang Duobing and his mother, "Let's go in." After that, she reached out and pushed open the gate and led the two of them in.

After entering the courtyard, Ji Xiao did not see the figure of the master's wife, so she shouted loudly: "Master's wife, we are back!" As soon as the voice fell, the master's wife hurried out of the kitchen holding a spatula. When she saw that the person was Ji Xiao, she hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Xiao Xiao, why did you come back suddenly? Didn't Xiangyi come back with you?"

"Master's wife, Xiangyi is at Master's grave." After hearing the news, she was stunned at first, and then she showed an ecstatic look, but soon realized that she had lost her composure, so she tried to calm down and looked around.

At this moment, she noticed that there were two unfamiliar faces in the room. She couldn't help feeling shy and hurriedly hid the spatula in her hand behind her back. She said apologetically, "You two must be friends who came with Xiaoxiao and the others. Please take a seat."

As she spoke, she stole a glance at the spatula in her hand, a blush appeared on her face, and she smiled awkwardly: "Oh, how rude! Wait a moment, I'll put this thing down and come over to chat with you." Before she finished speaking, Ji Xiao hurriedly pulled her back and comforted her: "It's okay, Master's wife, don't worry about these details."

Then, Ji Xiao pointed at the two people and introduced them one by one: "This is Fang Duobing, and this is his mother." Upon hearing this, the master's wife immediately handed the spatula to Ji Xiao, and then stepped forward to hold Fang Duobing's mother's hands to express her welcome, while muttering: "It turns out that it is Madam Fang and Master Fang who have come to visit. I hope I can forgive me for not being able to greet you from afar. Please take a seat!"

After the two sides finished their greetings, He Xiaohui took Fang Duobing and bowed to the master's wife again to express her gratitude, and then said softly: "I hope you can forgive me for my inconvenience in visiting you this time."

After saying that, she took the gift from Fang Duobing who was standing beside her, gently placed it on the table, and explained with a smile: "Since we came too hastily, we didn't have time to prepare a generous gift. This small gift is not a token of respect, please accept it."

"Okay, you take a seat." The master's wife said to the two of them with a smile.

After both parties exchanged simple greetings, Ji Xiao carefully helped the master's wife to sit down slowly. Then, Ji Xiao picked up the shovel and said softly, "You can take a rest and chat with Mrs. Fang. I will prepare the food."

"Okay, you should be hungry too. There are still some dishes in the kitchen. Xiaoxiao, make more." The master's wife responded gently.

"Don't worry, Master's wife. I know what to do." Ji Xiao said as she tied her apron and turned to walk into the kitchen.

Fang Duobing sat in the living room, looking left and right, and for a moment he was at a loss. After thinking for a moment, he quickly stood up, followed Ji Xiao, and walked towards the kitchen together.

As soon as she entered the kitchen, Ji Xiao saw some unwashed vegetables piled up on the side, so she turned to Duo Bing and said, "Then please wash these vegetables."

As soon as she finished speaking, she picked up the spoon, scooped out the cooked porridge in the pot, gently poured it into a bowl, and then placed it aside.

"Oh, okay." Fang Duobing responded, and then began to wash the vegetables carefully.

Not long after, with the help of Fang Duobing, Ji Xiao finished cooking a sumptuous meal in just half an hour. At this moment, Li Xiangyi slowly walked into the yard from outside the door, dragging his single sword.

Ji Xiao was originally planning to go out and call people back for dinner, but when she looked up, she saw Li Xiangyi coming in from the courtyard gate with a lonely face, dragging Shan Gudao. Her heart ached, and she hurried forward, holding his hand tightly, looking at him with concern and anxiety, but she did not say anything to disturb him, but just stared at him silently, as if trying to see some clues from his face. However, Li Xiangyi just shook his head gently, indicating that he was fine.

After dinner was over, Li Xiangyi finally asked his master's wife, "Master's wife, I would like to ask you, how did Master bring Shan Gudao and I back then?"

After hearing Li Xiangyi's question, the master's wife fell into deep thought, and then told the story of what happened that year.

No one made a sound to interrupt, just listened quietly. Ji Xiao had already pressed Shan Gudao's mute point when Li Xiangyi was speaking. Even if he was excited and wanted to do nothing, it would be useless as long as he couldn't make a sound. Therefore, he could only look at everyone angrily.

As the master's wife narrated the story, the past events that had been hidden for many years gradually came to light. And from the master's wife's words, it could be heard that she seemed to have some complaints about Shan Gu Dao and did not like him very much.

But you can imagine that no one would like a person who is jealous, has no gratitude, and is intolerant of others.

In the end, when Li Xiangyi learned all the truth, he did not kill Shan Gudao, the scourge, but instead only destroyed his shallow internal strength and then cut the meridians in his hands and feet.

After doing all this, they threw the person into a deserted and dilapidated temple like discarded garbage, leaving him to his fate and to fend for himself.

In fact, doing so is nothing more than wanting Shan Gudao to return to the poor and difficult life of the past. But after experiencing more than ten or even twenty years of prosperity and wealth, can he still endure such a hard life of not having a meal every day and not knowing whether he will be able to survive? I am afraid only he knows it best, but this is not a problem that Li Xiangyi and others need to worry about.
