Wei Xiyin looked embarrassed.
No wonder he always looks at me with resentment.
But she is also innocent.
I only met him once or twice when I was a child. Could he look the same ten years ago as he does now?
Moreover, in order to hurry on his way, he made himself look sloppy, with messy hair and beard. There was no way she could recognize him.
Wei Xiyin was willing to keep in touch with him through correspondence, of course, because she was impressed by his skills.
Dong Zhiyao was an excellent martial artist when he was young. She originally wanted to recruit him, but he was unruly by nature and was unwilling to submit to the powerful.
She was still too young at that time, and the Dong family's enemies were in Kyoto. She didn't have the ability to protect the people around her.
That's why I didn't try to repay the favor and force him to stay.
Later, perhaps because they were too far apart, she gradually lost the desire to win him over. Considering that she was growing up, she thought about it and simply cut off contact.
It's really awkward to meet each other now.
In the end, it was my fault.
Wei Xiyin coughed lightly, "So it's Brother Yao, why don't you recognize me?"
Dong Zhiyao had a blank expression on his face. "Of course I want to see when the girl can recognize me."
Wei Xiyin: “…”
Logically speaking, the two people's identities are as different as heaven and earth, the powerful and the common people, and Wei Xiyin has done him a favor, so Dong Zhiyao should not have such an attitude.
But the strange thing was that Wei Xiyin was only six years old at the time and had not yet completely changed her modern thinking. When she corresponded with him, the other party was ten years older than her after all, and only treated her as a junior.
He called him "Brother Yao" all the time, and in order to get closer to him, he racked his brains to work hard on the content of the letter.
Dong Zhiyao remembered her kindness and thought that she was just a six-year-old girl. He had no guard against her at all, and gradually, he really treated her as his own junior.
During those years when I was out transporting goods, whenever I came across any interesting gadgets, I would think of sending her a copy.
Most of the money he earned from escorting goods was used to buy things for her.
It can be said that apart from his own parents, he has never cared so much about anyone.
Then she unilaterally cut off contact. For the sake of her reputation, Dong Zhiyao never took the initiative to contact her again, but only inquired about the news of the Zhongshu Ling Mansion in private.
What's the result?
I didn't recognize him!
Of course Dong Zhiyao had a cold face.
Wei Xiyao, who was standing aside, had mixed feelings.
I see!
It turned out that it was because of the fifth cousin that Uncle Dong was willing to save her and her nephew.
She was a little depressed, but more relieved.
Fortunately, the good relationship that the fifth cousin had established in her early years saved her and her nephew's lives.
Wei Xiyao immediately stood up, bowed to Wei Xiyin and said, "Thank you, Fifth Cousin!" As for what she was thanking him for, it went without saying.
Wei Xiyin still hasn't recovered from her embarrassment.
Hearing my sixth cousin thank you only made me feel even more embarrassed.
She waved her hand. "Why thank me? We can meet in such a big county. It can only be said that we are destined to meet."
Wei Ji, who was sitting at the head of the table, smiled at Dong Zhiyao and said, "Indeed, I didn't expect you to be old acquaintances. My dear nephew, please feel at ease staying in the fortress for the time being."
"However, it is inconvenient to live in Xiyao's house. I will arrange another place for my nephew to live." Since he is going to live there for a long time, he must have his own house.
Dong Zhiyao agreed.
Uncle Wu came back at this time and bowed, saying, "Master, the Seventh Master and his men are here."
Naturally, they came to discuss the succession ceremony.
The succession of the new patriarch is a major event for the entire clan.
Wu Niang was in a hurry to go to the capital.
Wei Ji was afraid that the wind and snow would get stronger and it would be difficult for his granddaughter to travel. He was worried that if it delayed any longer, he would not be able to bear to let the two young people leave.
Therefore, Mingjingtang did not have much time to prepare.
The people below were very tactful and stood up to say goodbye.
Wei Xiyin didn't stay either. They were discussing her succession ceremony. She always felt it was weird for her to stay and listen.
She also wanted to go and comfort Dong Zhiyao, but there were too many people in the room and some things were difficult to say.
After so many years, this person's skills have become more and more advanced. He can protect two weak people and wander around for a year. You can imagine how difficult it is.
So after coming out of the main courtyard, she called out to Dong Zhiyao.
"Brother Yao, are you free?"
The wind was blowing so hard that it was no place to talk outside.
Wei Xirou and Wei Xiyao said goodbye to them and hurried back to inquire about the medical conditions of the two children.
Wei Mingze and others hurried in. When they bumped into each other on the road, they just nodded slightly and stepped into the main courtyard.
After a quick look, I found that more than a dozen uncles had come.
After Dong Zhiyao and the others from Mingjing Hall passed by, the two of them moved to the leeward side of the corridor before quietly replying, "There's no need to apologize."
As he spoke, he stroked his prickly beard, figured things out, and said, "I know I've changed a lot, so it's understandable that you didn't recognize me."
Wei Xiyin heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. "Brother Yao, I'm glad you don't blame me. I'm leaving in two days, and I'm afraid you'll always be angry with me..."
"Leave?" Dong Zhiyao frowned slightly and interrupted, "Winter is almost here, where else do you want to go?"
"Go to Kyoto to find my parents and brother." Wei Xiyin did not hide her selfish motives.
That's right.
She mentioned this matter deliberately because she wanted to ask Dong Zhiyao to go along with her.
He is very skilled and has traveled all over the country while transporting convoys. He is familiar with various areas and will definitely be able to help.
We are all smart people. Don’t try to be clever and end up making things worse, ruining the trust that was hard to build up in childhood.
As long as we have the kindness and friendship of the past, there is no need to beat around the bush.
Wei Xiyin asked directly, "Brother Yao, do you want to come with me?"
Dong Zhiyao didn't answer immediately. He strongly disagreed. "It's extremely dangerous to go out now. Not to mention the monsters outside that are getting stronger, just look at this weather. How many people can withstand it?"
