Chapter 435 Home
"I'm not a knight-errant, just a poor commoner." Shen Yuntian handed him a glass of water with a sneer in his eyes.
Not towards the young man in front of him, but towards himself.
"Then, Brother Shen, how did you get here?"
Xu Tianci took the tea bowl with a sarcastic tone.
He has been the treasure of the family since he was a child, and has never been separated from his family.
He didn't dare to think about whether he could survive if he and his parents were separated for three years.
"Working hard, sleeping in a ruined temple, as long as you can find them, what hardships can you not endure?"
The room fell silent once again.
It would be a lie to say that I am not disappointed.
The young man wanted to know the truth about Jianghu, but now his heart was empty.
After about half an hour, Shen Yuntian handed over the grilled meat skewers.
"Consider these skewers of meat as a gift from me. Go back early. It's not safe here at night."
The meat skewers were steaming and exuding fragrance, and Xu Tianci came back to his senses.
The young boy didn't stay long. He just took the meat skewers and left Shen Yuntian's courtyard in despair.
After that, he didn't see him again for two days. Shen Yuntian just thought that the young master had lost interest in his affairs, and continued to inquire about news during the day and go to the night market to set up a stall at night.
He was saving money in his hand just so that he could take out some money when he saw his brother and sister-in-law.
When the parents pass away, the eldest brother becomes the father and the eldest sister-in-law becomes the mother. If the elder brothers start their own families, then he really has no family.
"Brother Shen! I have news about your brother!"
As usual, after selling enough, Shen Yuntian was about to pack up his things and prepare to go back within an hour, but he didn't expect to hear the young man's joyful voice.
"What?"
The porcelain bowl in his hand fell with a sound, falling to the ground and breaking into pieces of different sizes.
"I, I asked my father to help you ask. My father said that there is a message coming from below. A few days ago, a man named Shen Xing worked as a long-term worker in our shop for a few days."
The young boy's face was full of joy. Because he was anxious, he simply jumped out of the carriage when he was near the entrance of the night market, pushing through the crowd and running over.
"really?"
Shen Yuntian's voice was trembling, the ends of his eyes were slightly red, and his already rough voice became duller.
Three years.
He was really scared.
"Seriously! I still have Shen Xing's address here!"
As Xu Tianci spoke, he reached out and took out a piece of letter paper, with the address of a remote courtyard clearly written on it.
Because of the excitement, Shen Yuntian lost his voice and cried silently while holding the thin piece of letter paper.
The crowd watching the excitement around them was inevitably curious when they saw this, but they were blocked by the Xu family's servants who came over.
A few days ago, my young master left the young lady of the Ouyang family alone on the street without saying a word, and followed an unknown person away.
That night they went back and received twenty sticks.
Although the master said to follow the young master before going in and out today, they knew in their hearts that if the young master left their sight for a while, he would be beaten again when he returned.
Xu Tianci had no shortage of playmates. All the young masters and ladies from the upper and lower reaches of the Xingjiang River knew him, but he lacked a friend.
A friend who ignored his identity and background.
He knew that Shen Yuntian didn't mean this, but he wanted to.
When he looked at his brother again, both of them had changed.
Shen Xing was wearing an old gray coat and his cheeks were sunken. It was obvious that he had lived a very hard life.
Although Shen Yuntian is better dressed, the scars on his face and rough voice are far different from before.
He used to be one of the top handsome young men in Lihua Village, and he was also considered the favorite of girls.
Now he looks like a villain.
"Brother..."
Looking at the busy people in front of him, Shen Yuntian's nose felt sore and he could only hold back the tears in his eyes.
If a man bleeds but doesn't shed tears, he can't let his eldest brother worry.
Shen Xing was in a daze when he heard the movement. He turned his head and saw Xu Tianci and Shen Yuntian standing aside.
He recognized Xu Tianci as the young master's family, but as for the one standing next to him...
He looked up and down, and although he felt familiar, he didn't dare to think about it.
As for the man's call of "big brother", he naturally didn't take it to heart.
Maybe that person's name is Shaodongjia?
He just hurriedly stopped what he was doing and came over to salute.
"Hello, young master."
"Uh-huh."
Xu Tianci nodded and pulled Shen Yuntian forward who was stunned.
"Shen Xing, look at this man, does he look familiar?"
When the young master said something, Shen Xing, even though he was confused, just stared at the person in front of him seriously.
It wasn't until he saw the small scar on his forehead that the man spoke in disbelief.
"Yun, Yuntian?"
"Brother!"
After three years, the two brothers held each other's hands and cried, turning their thoughts of the past three years into silent sobs.
Xu Tianci stood on the side feeling a little emotional, but also felt happy.
He can also accomplish something.
The Xu family's property is spread all over Xingjiang, and this village is the most inconspicuous one among the bunch.
But as long as they give an order, they can present everything they want to know.
Shen Yuntian followed his brother back to their current home.
A small village outside Zhuangzi.
When they got separated on the way to escape, the Shen brothers also lived apart for a while.
Later, we finally found them together again, and we simply started living together.
Originally, Zhuangzi could provide food and accommodation, but since the second son got injured on the road, he could no longer go out to work and could only stay at home every day.
Shen Xing's daughter-in-law was a kind-hearted person, so naturally she couldn't bear to see her sister-in-law stay at home alone, so she simply stayed in the village to farm.
The children at home were also sent to the village school. Although they may not be able to learn anything, he just felt that they could not let their children farm the land and do long-term labor for a lifetime like them.
Because Shen Yuan was worried about his wife, he never dared to work far away, and in the end he only worked as a long-term laborer for the landlords in the village.
The whole family hesitated when they saw Shen Xingxing hurriedly pulling someone into the yard.
But when they saw his face clearly, they were all dumbfounded.
After Shen Yuntian got separated from them, the two families also searched for him for a long time, but no one was alive or dead, and no body was found. Later, because there were refugees fighting over food on the way to escape, they followed the crowd and left there.
They always thought...
I thought my brother had passed away long ago, but I didn't expect that he would become like this.
The whole family cried heartily. Shen Xing just held Shen Yuntian's hand and cried and laughed. Finally, he knelt in front of his parents' memorial tablets and kowtowed several times.
The family sat together and talked about the hardships of the past three years. They all fell silent when they heard Shen Yuntian's experience.
"Yuntian, it's good to be back. The eldest brother and the second brother are still here, and we still have a family."
Shen Yuntian looked at the man with red eyes and nodded.
He still has a family.
