Chai Zhu didn't dare to recognize that this was Huo Yan at first.
After all, the other party was obviously in disguise, and his appearance was somewhat different from usual. If Huo Yan hadn't told him a lot of ways to identify him when he asked curiously, he might not have even suspected it.
But even so, Chai Zhu was still a little uncertain.
One is that this person's temperament is indeed different from Huo Yan's, and the other is...
Although he did not doubt Brother Huo's ability, he was still wondering how the other party had managed to get in within just a few days and seemed to have a high status.
The doubts about his identity were dispelled when the other party secretly handed him the water bag, but as for how the other party got in, Chai Zhu really couldn't figure it out. His brain, which was under-powered, obviously couldn't support him to spend energy thinking, so Chai Zhu quickly gave up.
He covered his face with his wide sleeves, unscrewed the opening of the water bag in his sleeves, and took a mouthful of porridge while wiping his face with his sleeves.
This was a pocket-sized water bag slightly larger than a human palm, left behind by the other party when he briefly stopped in front of his cell door.
Fortunately, Chai Zhu was standing at the prison door just now, and he had not changed his clothes since he was caught, and he was still wearing the wide sleeves when he came. If he was really changed into prison clothes, he would have a headache about how to hide this thing.
Because it needs to be put into a water bag, the porridge is not thick and does not produce any extra smell. There are no additional ingredients added to it, it is just pure rice porridge.
But the porridge, which was still hot, slid down the esophagus and into the empty stomach, instantly making his whole body feel warm. Chai Zhu couldn't help but shiver loudly.
What eight-treasure porridge or seven-treasure stew can compare to this bowl of porridge? This is the purest and most simple fragrance of rice!
Chai Zhu, who had been hungry for three days, had tears in his eyes. He felt that the figure that just stopped in front of him seemed to be glowing with the golden light of Buddha. It was simply a saint who saved the world.
If he could do it again, he would definitely grab Brother Huo's trouser legs tightly, hug his thighs, and shout out with all his heart -
Dad! Can you give me more?!
This mouthful of porridge was not enough. Even for a normal Chai Zhu, it was impossible for him to be full with this, let alone the fact that he had been hungry for three days.
Even though he drank slowly to avoid being discovered by the guards, nothing came out of the water bag in the blink of an eye. Due to his current prisoner status, he could not shake the water bag openly, and could only lick it one by one, trying to pick out some residue from between his teeth.
The rich aroma of rice still lingered between his lips and teeth. Chai Shao, the head of the family, licked his teeth, hoping that the savior "Buddha Huo" would bring him the next meal.
As for how to escape?
Well - Brother Huo is here, why should he worry about anything?
A waste should have the awareness of being a waste...If he really does something, he might even cause trouble for others.
Just wait here for the meal obediently. Maybe when he wakes up from a nap, he will find the prison door wide open and Father Huo is here to pick him up.
In just a short moment, Chai Zhu's way of addressing Huo Yan in his heart had changed from the polite "Brother Huo" to "Big Brother Huo", then to "Dad Huo", and even gradually tended to evolve towards "Grandpa Huo".
Chai Shao, who was lying on the spot and didn't want to work hard, just felt extremely comfortable. He even squinted his eyes and prepared to take a nap.
But Chai Zhu had just changed his posture and hadn't even laid down when his whole body froze.
Chai Zhu met a pair of dark and deep eyes.
It was the "drunkard" who sat next to him and had been his neighbor for three days but with whom he had never spoken a word, and who was either drunk or in the process of being drunk.
Chai Zhu felt that he was right about at least one thing.
This wine guy next to me... is really not an ordinary person.
——This man’s eyes are now clear and deep, without any blur, and there is no sign of drunkenness on his face.
Chai Zhu: “…”
He thought hard: Did this person see him drinking the porridge just now? Or did he not see him?
Just as he was thinking this, the man's messy beard moved, as if the corners of his lips were pulled up and he smiled. But in the area not covered by the beard, the muscles of the upper half of his face did not change at all. The face with half exposed to the light and the other half hidden in the shadows added a bit of weird horror to this expression.
Shibazu:!!!
He really saw it, didn't he?!
The other party's expression only lasted for a moment. When Chai Zhu looked again, the drunkard had closed his eyes, and his chest rose and fell regularly, as if he was still drunk and had not woken up in the middle of the night.
If Chai Zhu tried harder, he could convince himself that the man was not awake and he had just seen it wrong.
but……
Is it a matter of convincing himself? ! !
Chai Zhu: “…”
He really is a loser, isn't he... He even has trouble eating?!
…………
…
Yan Jie didn't expect that he would see such an interesting situation when he woke up unexpectedly. After scaring the young man, he put the matter behind him and fell into a deep sleep.
But Chai Zhu, the other party involved, couldn't sleep at all.
He forced himself to stay awake and waited for half the night, and finally waited until his neighbor got up to take care of a physiological problem. He also successfully struck up a conversation with him for the first time.
Chai Zhu tried to win him over with benefits, such as "I'll give you half of my porridge next time", which was simply the most shabby deal that Chai Shao had ever made in his life. But the other party just glanced at him, raised his hand and shook the cell door loudly, which almost made Chai Zhu's heart stop.
The jailer who was dozing off was awakened and came over cursing.
As Chai Zhu's face turned pale with fear, the wine brother said lightly, "I'm hungry."
The jailer was awakened in the middle of the night. How could he be in a good mood? He cursed and banged on the cell door with a long stick. It seemed that he was unwilling to be instructed.
But before the jailer had knocked a few times, the drunkard suddenly started coughing violently, and vomited a pool of blood. The jailer was so frightened that he took several steps back.
But the drunkard himself seemed to not care at all, and continued in a drunken tone: "I'm starving...porridge."
In the end, this man finally got to drink the "porridge" as he wished, and even got a doctor to perform a full set of medical examinations...
After mobilizing a large force for the entire second half of the night, Chai Zhu only understood one thing clearly.
——This is definitely a great man.
Chai Zhu guessed that the scene in the middle of the night was because the jailer's father was about to die. The other party might not be more anxious than this... This is a big shot, he has to talk to Brother Huo about it quickly.
So, when Chu Lu came over for the second time, he saw Chai Zhu's eyes twitching and he was trying hard to look to the side.
Chu Lu: "..."
The tacit understanding between the two was far from the level where they could understand each other's actions without having to agree on secret codes in advance. Chu Lu didn't understand what Chai Zhu wanted to hint at all. He even suspected that the other party had contracted some serious illness in prison these days, and began to think about whether he should bring some medicine next time he came.
On the other side, a "tsk" laugh was heard.
It was a rare opportunity to come across something interesting, and Yan Jie, who did not allow himself to get drunk, couldn't help himself.
This little brat from the Chai family is really interesting.
The young people nowadays... are much braver than he was back then.
Thinking about him back then, haha.
There was a flash of sarcasm in his eyes. I don't know if he was mocking his past self or something else, but everything ended in indifference.
Yan Jie drooped his eyelids and looked at Chai Zhu, who was still making faces, with a critical look.
Is he the heir chosen by Chai Xiangjin?
Tsk.
If I die here...
I wonder if that woman can handle this blow? Maybe she really can't get over it and commits suicide.
That won’t do…
They all have to live, live well and live for a long time.
That man exchanged his life for this prosperous scene. What right do these people who knew everything but still survived have to die?
Yan Jie turned over and faced outside, wanting to see the other daring accomplice of the Chai family boy.
He guessed it was an "adopted son" of the Chai family.
Although I feel that the woman is probably more inclined to cultivate a whetstone than a loyal right-hand man, such as the young man named "Meng Wu", but who can say for sure about such things?
After all, the heir she chose was already astounding, so it wouldn't be surprising if she hired a helper.
I just don’t know…
…………
…
Before he could finish his thoughts, the young man's face came into view. Yan Jie suddenly opened his eyes wide and even forgot to disguise his drunkenness.
Even after the young man left the room, he hadn't come to his senses, his eyes still staring blankly in that direction, until the jailer who noticed something was wrong came over suspiciously and inspected several times, Yan Jie finally came to his senses and turned to the side, as if he was just drunk just now.
Yan Jie was sure that he had not seen it wrong. The facial features were so similar and the demeanor could never be imitated by others...
That person's bloodline is still alive? !
He didn't even know.
No! It is better not to know. It is right not to know.
If someone knew back then...
This child will definitely not survive.
The soul floating in the vast void was finally pulled down, as if suddenly waking up after a long dream. He felt the reality of this world for the first time in a long time, but the deep sorrow and sadness surged up again.
turn out to be……
That person had chosen his own ending so long ago.
So, you sent this child far away, leaving no one in the know?
What about this kid? Does he know?
Do you know who your father is and what he has done for the world?
…
Why is he here? What is he planning to do here?
…………
…
By the way, that little kid from the Chai family.
Chai Xiangjin? !
The thought of "adopting a son" just now resurfaced in Yan Jie's mind, and his expression suddenly turned cold.
If this is true, even if it is to hide one's identity...
But he wanted that man's child to work for him? Is he worthy of the Chai family's kid?!
Yan Jie glanced sideways and looked at Chai Zhu.
However, this time, the gaze was not so friendly, and even had a hint of coldness.
Chai Zhu: “…”
He is not blind, of course he felt it.
He guessed that it must be because his hint to Huo Yan just now was too obvious and was noticed by the other party.
Chai Zhu stiffly touched the water bag which was a circle bigger than last time, and dared not move at all.
Chai Zhu felt even more unlucky: Usually at this time, isn't this person sleeping?
Obviously, at the beginning, I didn't see this "Wine Brother" move for three days in a row, and I couldn't talk to him, but when he made a little move, he opened his eyes and saw...
Chai Zhu felt that after he went out this time, he should really go to the ancestral temple to worship and change his luck.
What the hell is wrong with him? !
Sure enough, it was because of his conflicting horoscopes with his father whom he hadn’t seen for more than ten years!!!
