Chapter 433 Xiao Jing’s Transformation
In the small town of Leping.
Yin Xiu and Ning Yuejing came to an old residential area. Judging from the conditions of those houses, I'm afraid they have been there for thirty or forty years, and the surrounding environment is not very good.
And this is the place where Ning Yuejing lived with her mother for several years.
When I came back here again, everything seemed to have changed not too much, but the houses seemed a little more dilapidated than before.
Ning Yuejing walked in front and led Yin Xiu into this residential area, while telling Yin Xiu some trivial and interesting things about when she lived here with her mother when she was a child.
With a smile on his face, Yin Xiu listened quietly to Ning Yuejing's rambling description of her childhood life, good and bad, happiness and sadness...
From Ning Yuejing's ramblings about the past, Yin Xiu felt that he knew Xiao Jing better.
"Master, it's here. My mother and I used to live in this building, and we lived on the third floor at that time. There was only one room and a small living room."
Ning Yuejing stopped in front of an old small building, looked up at the broken glass and wooden window on the third floor, and said to Yin Xiu.
"At that time, I was still young, and my mother had to go out to work to earn money during the day, so I played at home alone. I remember that every day at dusk, I would find a stool and move it to the window, and then stand on the stool. Lying by the window and looking downstairs, waiting for my mother to come back from get off work..."
From the words, it can be heard that Ning Yuejing deeply misses and misses her childhood.
She raised her head and looked at the familiar window on the third floor with a faint look of trance in her eyes, as if she saw herself lying on the window sill in her childhood, looking down.
"Ok."
Yin Xiu responded softly, and unconsciously looked at the old window sill on the third floor, and said softly, "Would you like to go up and have a look? There seems to be no one living in the room on the third floor."
"it is good."
Ning Yuejing replied without thinking.
There are not many people in this old residential area, and most of the houses are empty and abandoned. Obviously, most of the original residents here have moved out.
The six-story building in front of Yin Xiu and Ning Yuejing. There are still people living there, and there are only four or five households. The other rooms have been left unoccupied and abandoned.
Yin Xiu and Ning Yuejing walked up to the third floor. The door of the room was locked, Yin Xiu directly opened the lock with his spiritual sense, pushed the door together with Ning Yuejing and entered...
The room was a little dark, and the corners of the room were covered with broken cobwebs. The few broken tables and chairs in the living room were covered with dust.
Ning Yuejing looked at the dusty broken tables and chairs and said: "Master. That table. I used to eat at that table when I ate with my mother. There is also that wooden sofa. I used to eat it every night when I was a child. Sit on it with mom and watch TV."
"At that time, my mother would do other things beside me. In winter, I would sit there and knit a sweater for me. I would often stand on it, lie on my mother's back, hug my mother and talk..."
Although it was many years ago, Ning Yuejing's memory of these is obviously still very clear and deep. Even after so many years. It has never been forgotten.
Ning Yuejing kept talking to Yin Xiu about the things in this room. Talking about how she lived here with her mother when she was a child.
All this seems to be speaking to Yin Xiu, but also to herself.
Returning here after many years, Ning Yuejing, who had always been cold and introverted, seemed to talk too much all of a sudden, as if she had endless things to say.
When she was talking about those childhood memories, her mood seemed to become more and more relaxed, and the most innocent, untainted, white snow lotus-like smile gradually bloomed on her delicate face.
Her at this moment. As if returning to the innocent childhood, every frown and smile came from the heart. It comes from the original self and pure goodness in human nature.
From Ning Yuejing's body at this moment, I can no longer see the indifference and coldness that Yin Xiu felt was full of distance and even hostile to everything when he first saw her, as if he had returned to the most innocent childhood. Everything is positive, everything is so beautiful.
"Master, come quickly! I didn't expect this wooden bed to still exist. I used to sleep on this bed with my mother. At that time, before going to bed every day, my mother would always play with me on the bed for a while, or tell me stories. Sing……"
Ning Yuejing dragged Yin Xiu into the dark room.
Although the room also looked dilapidated, with broken cobwebs and thick dust everywhere, but in Ning Yuejing's eyes, these dilapidated traces obviously did not exist.
All she saw in her eyes was the happiness and beauty of getting along with her mother in childhood memories, full of happy times...
When taking Xiao Jing out of the old building, Yin Xiu could clearly feel some changes in Xiao Jing. As if she had let go of something in her heart, her breath became much lighter.
When leaving, Yin Xiu also noticed that Xiao Jing turned her head and took a deep look at the window sill on the third floor, as if saying goodbye to the past, or imprinting all the good things in the past deeply Deeper in her heart, and those bad things were discarded by her.
The most notable change was that after Yin Xiu took her out of the old residential area, Yin Xiu found that the expression on Xiao Jing's face was much softer than before.
The first impression is no longer the 'cold', unapproachable feeling, but more like a gentle and quiet girl next door.
Yin Xiu was clearly aware of these subtle changes in Xiao Jing, but he didn't say anything, just lightly hugged Xiao Jing's shoulders, and while walking, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised slightly, revealing a faint smile.
Xiaojing's transformation is exactly what he has always wanted to see and what he has been working hard for. Xiaojing's ability to get out of the shadow of her past experience is of great benefit to her future.
It also made Yin Xiu feel at ease with her in his heart.
It was almost five o'clock in the afternoon when we walked out of the old residential area. Yin Xiu and Ning Yuejing didn't intend to return to Yinhai in such a hurry, they still planned to stay here for a few days.
However, Leping Town is just a border town, and there are no high-end hotels in the town to stay in. Yin Xiu and Ning Yuejing could only find a small hotel with a decent environment to make do with it.
...
Kyoto.
After Xiao Rui returned to the army base with Xu Zhongkang and Xiao Min, he applied for a vacation on the pretext of a gunshot wound on his shoulder. Then he returned to his home in Kyoto immediately.
He couldn't wait to find out what Yin Xiu's background was, and what kind of connection he had with the Xiao family.
Therefore, upon returning to the capital, even though it was already night, Xiao Rui immediately ran to the compound where his grandfather Xiao Jianjun lived.
"Grandpa, are you free now? I have something to ask you." As soon as he entered the room, Xiao Rui asked impatiently as soon as he saw Grandpa.
Xiao Jianjun, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV and drinking tea, was stunned for a moment, looked up at Xiao Rui in surprise, and asked, "Why, what's so important? I just sat down What, you can’t help but ask me?”
Xiao Rui hurriedly said: "Grandpa, this matter is very important. If I don't ask clearly, I will always feel like a cat is tickling me, and I can't calm down."
This made Xiao Jianjun even more curious. He knew a lot about his grandson.
Although sometimes his temperament can be more direct, but overall he is quite a calm person. It seems that what he wants to ask should be unusual for him to say such words so impatiently.
Thinking of this, Xiao Jianjun immediately put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Xiao Rui, and said, "Okay, if you want to ask anything, then you can ask."
Xiao Rui didn't speak immediately, but raised his head and glanced at the aunt who was busy preparing dinner in the kitchen, and said, "Grandpa, this matter is more important, let's go to your room to talk about it."
Ok?
Xiao Jianjun suddenly became more curious. What is it that is so confidential that he is worried about being heard by others and needs to keep it so secret?
Xiao Jianjun nodded lightly before thinking about it, and said, "All right. Then go to my room and talk about it."
After speaking, he got up and went upstairs. Xiao Rui also hurriedly followed.
After a while, the two came to Xiao Jianjun's study.
"Okay, let's talk about what it is." Xiao Jianjun asked.
Xiao Rui took a deep breath, opened his mouth slowly, and asked tentatively: "Grandpa, I want to ask... the person who 'cured' you last time and helped you get rid of the Gu worms that have been dormant in your body for many years is the same as our family. Is there some origin?"
When Xiao Jianjun heard this, he was immediately stunned.
Immediately, he suddenly raised his head to look at Xiao Rui, a flash of light burst out from his eyes, his expression suddenly became serious, and he asked in a deep voice: "Where did you hear about it? Why did you come to ask me this?" thing?"
Regarding Yin Xiu's identity, it is considered a secret in the Xiao family, only the second generations of the Xiao family and Zhou Ting who were in the room that day knew about it.
Regarding Yin Xiu's identity, Xiao Jianjun had already strictly ordered those who knew it not to mention it to others.
Now that Xiao Rui suddenly came to ask him about this matter, Xiao Jianjun naturally reacted strongly, even the tone of asking Xiao Rui seemed a bit harsh.
As for Xiao Rui, seeing his grandfather's reaction, although he was a little dazed, he didn't quite understand why his grandfather reacted so strongly, and he asked himself directly in turn.
However, he also understood that the person who had feelings really had something to do with the Xiao family. In addition, judging by Grandpa's reaction, I'm afraid this matter will not be that simple.
"Grandpa, so that person really has something to do with our family? Who is he?" Xiao Rui couldn't help asking.
Xiao Jianjun glanced at him, ignored his inquiry, and said coldly, "Tell me right away, who told you? Was it your father? Or what did Tinger tell you?"
Xiao Jianjun first suspected Xiao Rui's father Xiao Jinghai and Zhou Ting. Among all the insiders in the entire Xiao family, these two people are indeed the most likely to disclose to Xiao Rui.
After all, Xiao Jinghai is Xiao Rui's father, and Zhou Ting is the only third-generation junior among the Xiao family's insiders. (To be continued.)
