Chapter 64: Parading through the City



Now it's our turn to laugh.

The enemy has been killed, the cause has been found, and the grandson has recovered. This is truly a great joyous event that is celebrated by both heaven and earth.

Old Mrs. Fang laughed out loud.

Although Fang Yuxiu couldn't laugh so heartily, she smiled and took out a handkerchief to slowly wipe away her tears.

"Yes, we should laugh," she said. "No matter how sad the past was, it's all in the past. Now is a happy time, so we should laugh."

Fang Chengyu smiled and nodded, then he pulled Fang Yuxiu up, and together they helped Old Lady Fang up.

Old Mrs. Fang looked at Fang Chengyu and felt that she had a lot of questions to ask, questions about the past and the present, questions about this and that, which were surging in her mind and at the corners of her mouth.

"Grandma, this is not the place to talk. Let's go back and talk. Mother and elder sister are waiting anxiously." Fang Yuxiu said.

Yes, this is not the place to talk, Old Mrs. Fang nodded.

"Let's go, let's go." She said, holding Fang Chengyu's hand.

Fang Chengyu did not move forward.

"Grandma, wait a minute." He said, with a bit of grievance and shame on his face, "My face and clothes are dirty, I need to change and wash them."

Fang Yuxiu and Old Madam Fang both stared at him in amazement.

After what happened just now, Fang Chengyu's face and body were covered with stains, especially blood, which looked a little scary.

"It won't look good if we go outside like this." Fang Chengyu continued, "It would be so embarrassing if someone saw us."

People dare to kill at will, but they care a lot about whether they look good or not, and they are very embarrassed.

Old Mrs. Fang and Fang Yuxiu couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, change your clothes and wash your face," said Mrs. Fang.

When the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren came out again, the officials sitting in the hall saw that they looked brand new.

They already knew about the three people washing and changing clothes just now, because these three people actually used Li Zhixian's backyard openly and used Li Zhixian's furniture without any hesitation.

"The hatred is huge, the hatred is huge, and it can be regarded as a way to vent our hatred." An official had to explain himself, "They don't care, and we don't care even more."

Old Mrs. Fang stepped forward, knelt down and kowtowed.

"Thank you, great officials." She was choked with emotion.

Fang Chengyu followed closely behind her, as obedient as the young lady of the Fang family. It seemed that he would blush if someone looked at him for a second longer.

If I hadn't just seen him torture and kill someone, I would have really thought of him as a sickly child.

Even so, many people present were wondering if this child was just acting out of impulse? Was he a sickly child?

After all, the way he held the knife looked like it was his first time and he was very unfamiliar with it.

And that's murder.

Most people don’t even dare to kill a chicken, let alone kill someone. Even if they kill someone, some people will feel uncomfortable and vomit or be afraid.

The young man was calm and acted as if nothing had happened, as if he was used to seeing murders.

It's really hard to understand.

But I heard that some people look honest, but are actually very vicious. It is commonly known as a dog that doesn't bite, and a dog that bites doesn't bark.

Fang Chengyu and Fang Yuxiu also kowtowed to express their gratitude.

"You guys go back now. We will quickly make the final decision on this matter public," said Magistrate Ma.

Old Mrs. Fang and her great-granddaughter thanked them again. Fang Chengyu and Fang Yuxiu hurriedly helped her to stand up, and the three of them supported each other and left the official hall.

Seeing them coming, the soldiers guarding the county government office stepped forward to open the door.

The door slowly opened. As the three of them took a step forward, they heard a shout.

“It’s out!”

With this shout, noise came like a tide.

"Take a quick look."

"Where are you from?"

The three grandparents of the Fang family were startled. They stopped and looked up, only then did they see that the county government office was crowded with people. It seemed that everyone in Yangcheng had come out.

What is going on?

Old Mrs. Fang looked at the crowd.

Now that the troops have entered the city and torn down the county government office, the people were so frightened that they almost abandoned the city and fled. After being appeased with great difficulty, they all hid in their homes and dared not come out.

There has only been a short period of peace, and the people are all frightened. Why did they all come here before they fully understood the situation and ensured their safety?

Soldiers are gathered here.

Fang Yuxiu on the side suddenly burst out laughing.

"Little brother, they all come to see you," she said.

Old Mrs. Fang looked at Fang Chengyu.

"Oh, yes. I walked into the city." Fang Chengyu said with a smile, "Someone probably..."

He didn't say "recognition" because the crowd erupted in noise.

“Laughed!”

“I saw it and laughed!”

"Same as the fifteenth day of the first lunar month?"

All kinds of shouts and inquiries came flooding in.

This made the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren who were still standing behind the threshold look stunned.

Fang Yuxiu sighed.

"What should I do? It's a huge loss," she said suddenly.

Old Madam Fang and Fang Chengyu both looked at her.

"We don't have a flatbed truck ready," Fang Yuxiu said seriously, "We can't load fruits and vegetables with it."

The handsome man went out and threw fruits all over the car.

Both Old Mrs. Fang and Fang Chengyu laughed.

Fang Chengyu looked at the people who were having fun in front of the county government office, his eyes sparkling.

"There are more people here than last time." He said, "Grandma, I was right when I said wash up and change clothes."

This was the second time Fang Chengyu was watched. The last time was during the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month. But that time he was sitting in a car, waiting to die.

Everyone came to see a dying man, but now it is different.

The tears that Mrs. Fang had held back were about to burst out again.

She shed more tears today than in the first half of her life combined. When did she become so fragile and crybaby? It would be a joke if anyone saw her.

"Grandma, don't worry. You can cry or laugh as you like in the future. No one will look at you." Fang Yuxiu said from the side, "Everyone is looking at Chengyu."

Old Mrs. Fang was amused and then glared.

"You mean I'm old and ugly," she said.

Fang Yuxiu pursed her lips and stroked her face with her hand.

"I am young and pretty but I can't compare to my younger brother." She sighed, "We should never go out with my younger brother in the future."

Fang Chengyu smiled.

"You don't have to go out anymore. Just let me do anything you need. Grandmother and second sister, you guys take the bus. I'll walk back. I want to get to know Yangcheng, where I've lived for fifteen years." He said, flicking his sleeves and walking across the threshold. "And let Yangcheng get to know me."

He let go of Old Lady Fang and walked out of the county government office step by step. As he walked out, the originally noisy crowd became quiet, and countless eyes were focused on him.

"Are you the young master of the Fang family?" an old man standing in front asked curiously.

"Yes." Fang Chengyu said with a smile.

Although they already knew it, the crowd still got noisy when they heard him say it himself.

"Are you okay?"

"Where have you been?"

"How did you cure your illness?"

Countless questions and people poured in, and the guards stepped forward to block them. Fang Chengyu did not quicken his pace, but answered the questions he heard one by one as he walked.

"I'm going to get treatment."

"I'm fine."

"It's really fine, look at my legs."

He even lifted up his robe, stretched out his legs for everyone to see, and then jumped.

He was friendly and had a childlike innocence, which immediately caused the crowd to laugh.

"Master Fang, Master Fang, do you still recognize me? I saw you when you were a child."

Someone was standing on tiptoe and shouting at a distance.

Fang Chengyu looked over with a smile.

"I was too young when I got sick and I don't remember much. But I'm older now and I'll come out more often in the future, so I'll recognize you," he also replied loudly.

The crowd laughed again.

More people came to the streets asking questions, but their expressions were different from the last time at the Lantern Festival. Last time they looked pitiful or curious, but this time they looked surprised and amazed.

Because he was walking through the crowd and talking from time to time, Fang Chengyu took more than an hour to walk from the county government office to Fang's house, which was supposed to take less than half an hour.

The front door of the Fang family was already open. In front of the door stood a security guard with an excited look on his face. He saw Fang Chengyu and his group from a distance and immediately shouted at the top of his voice towards the inside.

"Young Master is back!"

"Young Master is back!"

The young master is back.

The young master who once carried the Fang family's hope for continuation in good health is back.

Fang Chengyu stopped in front of the door, looked at the door and walked forward.
