“Old man, why don’t we go over and take a look? He’s the only one with the patriarch’s bloodline…”
Madam Chang felt a little uneasy. In the past, they had also received favors from the clan. It was normal for large clans to die out, but one’s heart could not be cold.
Old Chang was also a little hesitant. He thought for a moment and nodded. “I’ll go over and take a look. Chang Xian has a reclusive personality. I’m afraid he’ll offend them.”
Old Chang also recalled the protection of his clan and felt bad. After thinking about it, he decided to go over and take a look.
Chang Xian was paying attention to Su Xiaolu and Chen Shi. When he saw them coming towards him, he frowned and secretly retreated into the room to close the door.
Su Xiaolu and Chen Shi arrived. Chen Shi knocked politely and asked, “Is Chang Xian at home?”
After asking, Su Xiaolu and Chen Shi waited quietly for Chang Xian to open the door.
However, after a while, it was still very quiet inside. The two of them looked at each other. Su Xiaolu’s cultivation level was not low. She naturally knew that there was someone in the room, and so did Chen Shi.
Chang Xian didn’t open the door because he thought that they would leave if they thought no one was around.
Chen Shi looked at Su Xiaolu and explained, “This Chang Xian is indeed reclusive. I came to the fruit mountain many times last year and only saw him a few times. Apart from talking to these families, he ignores everyone he sees.”
At this moment, Old Chang also came. He said, “The kid is quite reclusive. He’s been in such a state and suffered such a huge blow. His personality has also changed a little. If you have anything to ask, allow me to ask him on your behalf.”
Su Xiaolu smiled and said, “Uncle, you said that Chang Xian raises bees. Then he must have honey to sell.”
Old Chang immediately nodded. “Yes, yes.”
Su Xiaolu smiled gently. “Then please ask him to open the door. I want to see the honey and buy some honey.”
Old Chang was happy to hear that. He went forward and knocked on the door.
He smiled and said, “Xian, open the door for me. A benefactor wants to see your honey and buy honey.”
Chang Xian watched the door quietly from inside the house. He replied dully, “Sixth Uncle, let them leave. I don’t have any honey to sell now. It’s all sold out.”
After Chang Xian finished speaking, he stared in the direction of the door. His heart was beating like thunder. He had the same feeling six years ago. He felt so uneasy as if he was facing a great enemy. Six years ago, he had lost his family and his relatives. He had lost his legs. What would he lose this time?
Chang Xian clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. He hated this feeling. It made him feel that danger was coming, but he couldn’t avoid it.
After Chang Xian answered, Old Chang smiled and said to Chen Shi and Su Xiaolu, “Miss, I’m really sorry. Xian said that it’s sold out. He has a strange personality and doesn’t want to see outsiders. Please don’t blame him.”
Old Chang put in a good word for Chang Xian.
Chen Shi smiled faintly to show that he didn’t mind. He knew that Chang Xian was like this when he came previously, so he didn’t think anything was wrong.
Su Xiaolu looked at the closed door and said calmly, “I see. Let’s go back. Uncle, thank you.”
Su Xiaolu thanked Old Chang and left with Chen Shi.
Old Chang smiled and watched them leave. He only sighed when he could no longer see Su Xiaolu and Chen Shi.
He was about to go home when he heard the door open behind him.
Old Chang turned around and saw Chang Xian leaning against the door. He couldn’t help but look sympathetic. Old Chang said, “Xian, why are you so reclusive? If something happens to the fruit mountain, you won’t be able to grow fruits in the future. Perhaps the fruit trees won’t be able to be preserved for the next two years. We have to find another way out. It’s good to befriend more people. I know you refuse to leave, but if you stay, you have to live, right?”
Old Chang tried his best to persuade him. A man losing his ability to walk was like losing his dignity.
However, things had already come to this. People had to live, right? It was already very impressive that Chang Xian could rely on his own hands to support himself.
Chang Xian looked into the distance. He didn’t listen to Old Chang at all. He looked at him and asked, “Who was the woman who came today?”
He had seen Chen Shi before. He did not feel a sense of danger.
However, he had never seen this woman today, but she gave him a strong sense of uneasiness. Chang Xian was unsure, so he couldn’t help but ask Old
Chang.
Although the woman had left, he was still very flustered.
His entire body was tense, and panic filled his heart.
Chang Xian asked. Old Chang paused for a moment before answering, “I don’t know her either. She’s very unfamiliar, but from the looks of it, manager Chen respects her very much. I heard manager Chen call her Fourth Sister. I don’t know her identity, but it’s definitely not low. No matter what her identity is, we can’t afford to offend her.”
Old Chang still tried his best to persuade Chang Xian. He had to change his personality and seize the opportunity when it came.
Chang Xian smiled bitterly and nodded. “Thank you, Sixth Uncle. I know.”
Chang Xian felt panic and bitterness in his heart. As for this bitterness, he could not put it into words.
Old Chang thought that he had listened and nodded with a kind smile. “Alright, I’ll go back first.”
Chang Xian was proud. Even if his legs were crippled, he didn’t allow himself to beg for food or accept anyone’s kindness. In the past few years, he had proven that he didn’t need it.
Seeing that he seemed to have taken his words to heart, Old Chang did not say anything else.
Chang Xian leaned against the door and kept looking out at the road. His eyes were gray and filled with despair.
God, did you have to be so cruel this time too?
Su Xiaolu and Chen Shi returned home.
On the way, Chen Shi even comforted Su Xiaolu not to take it to heart.
Su Xiaolu smiled and nodded. The world was ever-changing now. Nothing was strange or surprising. There must be a reason, but it had not been found.
At night, Su Xiaolu returned to the fruit mountain again.
In the dead of the night, these families were already asleep. Su Xiaolu blew the knockout powder into the house and waited for a while before opening the door and entering.
She lit the lamp and observed. She even opened the cupboard and the cabinet where the rice and grains were stored. Looking at the honey inside, Su Xiaolu was deep in thought. There was clearly so much left, but he said that it was sold out. Chang Xian indeed had a secret.
She entered the inner room and looked at the figure lying on the bed. Su Xiaolu walked over to take a look. Chang Xian was thin and handsome. Perhaps he did not go out often and his face was a little pale. Under his blanket was empty. Su Xiaolu pinched his wrist to take his pulse. His pulse was weak and many meridians were blocked.
He was knocked out by the knockout powder, but he still clenched her fists and frowned. It was obvious that he sensed that something was wrong when he smelled the knockout powder. He was a smart child. Su Xiaolu lit a medicinal fragrance and went to get a honey jar to open it. She scooped a spoonful and took a small sip to slowly taste it, quietly waiting for Chang Xian to wake up..
