Chapter 473 What is this?
Jiang Yubai rubbed his chin with a bitter expression, and after a while he said sourly, "I've always heard that you and Xu Minghui didn't have a good relationship. It turns out that the rumor was false."
Xu Yu was too lazy to argue with him. Jiang Yubai lost his composure the next second and used his old trick to put his arm around Xu Yu's neck and said, "I'm jealous. How about you be my big brother from now on?"
"I promise to be a good and obedient brother who will do whatever I tell him to do, as long as you..."
"Forget it."
Xu Yu pushed Jiang Yubai away in a bad mood, like a dog-skin plaster, and curled his lips in disdain: "I can't afford to support someone like you."
Jiang Yubai didn't care about being disliked. He just said before waving goodbye: "I left in a hurry today and forgot to take it with me. Before Xu Minghui leaves for Lingnan, remember to come to me to get something."
Jiang Yubai raised his eyebrows and smiled proudly, adding slowly: "With my token in hand, I guarantee that he won't encounter any difficulties when he arrives at the place, and everything will go smoothly."
This was the first sign of sincerity Jiang Yubai showed.
Xu Yu didn't refuse. He just nodded and turned away.
Jiang Yubai shrugged and smiled, having solved the biggest problem in his mind, and walked back with ease.
In an unnoticed corner, Xu Mingyang, who was hiding in a haystack, blinked blankly, staring straight at the direction where Xu Yu had left, unable to come back to his senses.
When Xu Minghui got home, Xu Mingyang was still squatting at the door.
The energetic boy in the past looked like a frost-bitten eggplant today, with drooping eyebrows and no energy. He looked listless, like a rooster with its tail feathers plucked out.
Xu Minghui saw at a glance that he had been dealt with, and pretended to be displeased, lowering his voice and saying, "Xu Mingyang, what trouble have you gotten yourself into at home today?"
Judging from Xu Mingyang's past behavior, this kid can't get through the day without getting into trouble.
There's always something annoying going on before dark.
Xu Mingyang blinked guiltily, then sprinted towards Xu Minghui, grabbed Xu Minghui's hand, and said, "Brother, I think I made a mistake."
Xu Mingyang actually didn't understand what Xu Yu and Jiang Yubai meant.
But he was taught by his grandfather and knew much more than ordinary children. Even if he didn't understand the meaning, he could still guess the context of the time.
For some unknown reason, Xu Mingyang felt as if he had heard something that his elder brother never said, and learned some incredible secret, and he began to feel guilty for some reason.
Xu Minghui was so angry that he wanted to laugh: "That's quite novel."
"When don't you make trouble?"
"Tell me, which chicken feathers did you pick to make shuttlecocks? Or..."
"Come closer, I'll whisper to you."
Xu Mingyang pulled Xu Minghui mysteriously and whispered in his ear.
Xu Minghui's eyes flickered after hearing this. He lowered his head to look into the eyes of this silly boy and said softly, "Is this what you heard?"
Xu Mingyang nodded with a twinkle in his eyes, tugging at his dusty little paws and whining, "Brother, I can't really listen to what Big Brother and that guy said, right?"
"I always feel like what they're talking about is something very important. I didn't mean to do that. I just hid over here to avoid getting beaten, so I..."
"It's okay."
Xu Minghui rubbed Xu Mingyang's hairy head and said slowly, "If it wasn't intentional, then it's not a mistake."
"Just don't mention this to anyone else except me, understand?"
This is a serious matter of treason. If this is made public, you will be dead.
Xu Mingyang nodded half-comprehendingly, then said blankly, "Big Brother said that you must follow the right path and not be a counselor. What is a counselor?"
"And what Big Brother said..."
"Shhh."
Xu Minghui lowered his head and interrupted Xu Mingyang, saying in a low voice: "Anyway, what Big Brother said is for our own good, just know that."
Xu Mingyang will understand more when he grows up.
Xu Mingyang groaned in confusion and said instinctively, "Don't worry, brother. I won't tell anyone!"
"I will..."
"Xu Mingyang!"
A sudden roar from the outer courtyard interrupted Xu Mingyang's assurance. Xu Mingyang ran around as if he had been stepped on, shouting in panic, "It's over, it's over!"
"Big brother is here to settle accounts with me! Brother, please save me! Hey hey hey!"
"Brother, why did you betray me?!"
Xu Mingyang, who was grabbed by the back of the neck and forced forward, had completely lost his hiding place. He faced Xu Yu's face, which was faintly shrouded in darkness. While condemning Xu Minghui for sacrificing his own family for the sake of justice, he pleaded with trembling heart, "Brother, I was wrong! I really know I was wrong!"
Xu Yu said with a forced smile, "Are you wrong?"
"Then tell me, where did you go wrong?"
Xu Mingyang thought of the beating he had received from his grandfather, and then looked at Xu Yu's eyes burning with anger. In panic, he said bitterly, "I don't know!"
"Grandfather didn't say anything to me. He just made me stare at the picture of a tiger descending a mountain on the wall for half an hour. He even spanked me ten times with a stick, but I don't know why!"
The picture of a tiger descending the mountain was painted by Xu Yanran. She stared at it for half an hour but couldn't see any new flowers.
Paintings are paintings, words are words, what does this have to do with him being punished?
Puzzled, Xu Mingyang began to answer randomly, "Did the fact that I brought Huo Jiandan and the others up the mountain get exposed?"
"But didn't I bring them all down here? And we just picked up two kittens and saved their lives. We..."
"You still dare to mention those two kittens to me?"
Xu Yu was so angry that his face turned pale blue. He snatched Xu Mingyang from Xu Minghui's hands, kicked him on the butt, and walked inside: "Get in here and take a closer look at what you picked up!"
Xu Mingyang was kicked so hard that he screamed and rolled into the north yard.
Seeing this, Xu Minghui raised his eyebrows slightly and followed in leisurely.
Seeing the kitten in the basket being supported by Xu Yanran and Xu Mingxu and being fed goat milk, the smile on Xu Minghui's face slowly froze.
Goat milk has a strong fishy smell. Sang Zhixia didn't think of this at first. Unexpectedly, as soon as the goat milk was served, she was retching continuously because of the smell and could only stand aside and watch from a distance.
Sang Zhixia saw Xu Mingyang being carried in by Xu Yu, and was stunned for a moment, frowning and saying, "Why are you so fierce?"
When Xu Mingyang saw Sang Zhixia, he was like a hapless child who had been beaten and saw his savior. He shouted and stretched out his hand towards Sang Zhixia: "Sister-in-law, save me!"
"No one can save you."
As soon as Xu Yu let go, Xu Minghui grabbed Xu Mingyang, who was trying to escape, with a smile mixed with anger.
Xu Minghui pointed at the two tiger cubs in the basket, happily drinking goat milk, and gritted his teeth. "Xu Mingyang, open your eyes wide and take a closer look. Tell me again what this is!"
"Don't play dumb, talk!"
