Wang Weiting was so frightened by the sudden knock on the door that his body trembled, and the burden in his hand fell to the ground.
He turned around, looked at Wang Shiyun in horror, opened his mouth a few times without making a sound, and pointed to the door again.
Wang Shiyun stared at the door panel with a gloomy face, and after a while, he made a silent gesture to his son, cleared his throat a few times, and asked outside, "Brother Cheng, is it you?"
” Cheng Dexuan's voice sounded at the door, "Lord Wang, it is here, the Holy Lord has been working hard for you in the past few days, so I have prepared a few pairs of tonic medicines and sent them to you." ” This sentence was said unhurriedly, but there was no chance to refuse the two people in the door, Wang Weiting was frightened when he heard it, picked up his burden and tiptoed towards the house, wanting to sneak back to his hiding place - the side room where the people lived, for half a month, he has been living there, day and night, not daring to be seen by others.
But when he passed by his father's side, his hand was grabbed, and Wang Shiyun raised his eyes to look at him, "Don't hide, I've been hiding for so many days, when is it a head?"
I'm annoyed if you don't bother. ” Wang Weiting lowered his voice, "Father, what do you say, if someone finds out that I am alive, the people of the government will definitely find out about my family, and when the time comes, I will not be able to hide the matter of cannibalism." ” Wang Shiyun rolled his eyes and stared at his son viciously, "Why do you think Cheng Dexuan came to us in the middle of the night?"
He must have heard the rumors, so he came to test him, but I don't know if he is friend or foe now, maybe he wants to sell me a favor, so that I can help him more in the future Cheng family in the court."
At this point, there was another knock on the door in my ears, "Lord Wang, why don't you open the door?"
It was cold, and the old man's feet were numb. ” Hearing this, Wang Shiyun glanced at Wang Weiting and motioned for him to open the door.
Wang Weiting hesitated for a long time, finally gritted his teeth, threw the burden in his hand into the firewood, walked to the door and pulled the courtyard door open.
Cheng Dexuan was draped in a dark gray coat, with his hands in his sleeves in front of his chest, revealing a wrinkled face that could not see joy and anger from the darkness.
His head was covered with a layer of fluffy snowflakes, and his eyebrows and beard were whitened by the snow, and he looked ten years older than before.
Seeing Wang Weiting, he didn't show any surprise, but smiled faintly at him and stepped into the threshold.
Wang Weiting looked outside and found that there was no one with him, so he closed the door again and followed Cheng Dexuan in.
"Brother Cheng, it's cold outside, come and drink a cup of hot tea in the house to warm up."
Wang Shiyun greeted Cheng Dexuan quietly, walked into the house with him, and sat on both sides of the table, he teaed while beckoning Wang Weiting to come in, "Weiting, come and meet Master Cheng, the second son of his family has worked hard and painstakingly for your case, you must thank Lord Cheng well." ” Cheng Dexuan still didn't speak, only smiled and took the teacup in Wang Weiting's hand, raised his head and drank it, and then whispered to Wang Shiyun, "Brother Ren, although you have gained power in the court over the years, I haven't seen you smile from the bottom of your heart. ” Wang Shiyun sighed and looked at the snowflakes flying outside the house, and at this moment, they were scrambling to rush to the uncurtained door, painting the area around the threshold white.
He took a sip of tea, turned his head to look at Cheng Dexuan, and smiled bitterly, "People are back, but they can only hide in the house every day, like a mouse, they can't see the light of day, what's the difference between living and dying like this?"
” Cheng Dexuan leaned forward a little, still looking like he was smiling, he put down the cup in his hand and said softly, "Brother Ren, in fact, I came today just for the sake of my nephew, I know that once the news of Wei Ting's resurrection from the dead is revealed, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble, so I have been thinking about it for the past few days, and finally came up with a way, or I can solve this dilemma." ” Wang Shiyun let out an "oh", and his eyes were instantly filled with enthusiasm, "Brother Cheng, I won't tell you, I have been sleepless all night for my son's affairs for half a month, if Brother Xian has a good method, please don't hesitate to give advice." ” Cheng Dexuan lowered his voice, "I have a distant relative in the countryside, his son went to sea with a merchant ship more than 20 years ago and has never returned.
I have already discussed with him that I can let Wei Ting live in his house for the time being, and say to the outside that his son is back, and his son has been gone for more than 20 years, and even I can't remember his appearance, let alone outsiders, so Wei Ting's past will never arouse the suspicion of neighbors.
That place is far away from the mountains and rivers, and it is very secluded, Wei Ting can live there with a new identity, and you can also go to see him from time to time, so wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?
” As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Weiting stood up "Teng", his face was surprised and happy, and he said again and again, "Okay, okay, father, Master Cheng's idea is good, when I get there, I don't have to hide in Tibet, you don't know, these days, I'm really about to suffocate to death, and if I continue like this, I'm afraid I'll get sick." ” As he spoke, he walked up to Cheng Dexuan again, and said, "Little nephew, thank you, Lord Cheng, if he has the opportunity in the future, he will definitely repay Lord Cheng's kindness." ” Cheng Dexuan hurriedly stood up, stretched out his hand to help Wang Weiting up, and said with a smile, "It's just a gesture, don't be so polite to the virtuous nephew" Speaking of which, he suddenly paused, turned around and came to the table, picked up the teapot and filled all the cups of the three of them, and said with a smile, "Since we are so happy today, why don't we replace the wine with tea and drink a cup, which can be regarded as seeing off the virtuous nephew." ” Wang Weiting shook his head again and again while holding the cup, "How dare you drive Lord Cheng to pour tea, this is what I should do for juniors such as me."
Cheng Dexuan raised his hand to interrupt him, "Since the virtuous nephew lives in the old man's relative's house, I will treat you as a family, why does the family need to see the outside like this, come, this cup of tea The old man will do it first as a respect." ” As he spoke, he drank the cup of tea in one go, then looked at Wang Shiyun, who had not spoken, and said with a smile, "Lord Wang, please." ” Wang Shiyun has been staring at the tea in the cup, watching the small tea leaves on it float and fall, hearing the word "please" from Cheng Dexuan, he raised his head and stared intently at the pair of sharp eyes in front of him.
Wang Shiyun lowered his eyes, and once again focused his gaze on the cup of tea, he rubbed the rim of the cup repeatedly with his fingers, but never picked up the cup.
