In about half an hour, the news spread.
Xiao Sheng is no longer the head of the Xiao family, Xiao Lin is the new head!
When the news came out, the Xiao family was shocked.
After all... in the eyes of most people, the head of the Xiao family is the sky of the Xiao family!
Now, the sky has changed!
In addition to the Xiao family's children, disciples from various halls were also talking about it, not understanding why the head of the family was suddenly changed!
Including the small town at the foot of Xiaoshan, there was considerable turmoil because of this news!
Nangong Liang, Yang Mu and others who were still staying in the Xiao family were also a little surprised. How could the situation in the Xiao family change overnight?
If they didn't know that Xiao Lin and Xiao Sheng had a good relationship, they would have speculated whether the Xiao family was in chaos and that a power grab had occurred!
“Senior Nangong, Elder Yang, please stay for two more days to be a witness…”
Xiao Sheng personally came to find Nangong Liang, Yang Mu and others, and asked them to stay and witness Xiao Lin's ascension to the throne!
Apart from them, Xiao Lin did not plan to call anyone else to witness. After all, the current status of the Xiao family is a bit embarrassing!
Of course, the news still needs to get out.
"Master Xiao..."
Nangong Liang looked at Xiao Sheng, wanting to ask something.
“Senior Nangong, just call me Xiao Sheng. I’m no longer the head of the Xiao family.”
Xiao Sheng said to Nangong Liang.
Hearing this, Nangong Liang nodded: "Xiao Sheng, why did the Xiao family change the head of the family?"
"First, a lot of things have happened in the Xiao family recently. As the head of the family, I have an unshirkable responsibility. Second, I have other things to do. Xiao Lin is also very good, so I let him be the head of the Xiao family."
Xiao Sheng explained simply.
"Of course, Xiao Lin's appointment as the head of the family was decided by the clan elders council, and the clan elders unanimously approved it, including the ancestor, who also believed in Xiao Lin's ability."
When Nangong Liang heard Xiao Sheng say this, he nodded and didn't say anything more.
After all, he is not a member of the Xiao family, so whether the Xiao family changes its head or not has nothing to do with him.
After a brief discussion, Nangong Liang, Yang Mu and others decided to stay for two more days to bear witness for Xiao Lin!
After seeing that they agreed, Xiao Sheng did not stay for too long and left in a hurry.
In the next few days, he will be very busy, and the Xiao family will also be very busy.
After all, this is a change of head of the family, nothing else.
At the same time, Xiao Chen also led his men down the mountain and came to the town.
Ning Kejun and Nangong Ling did not come. They were called away by Xiao Yu's mother.
"Brother, look at the town, isn't it changed a lot?"
Xiao Yu came along, firstly because he was bored staying in the mountains, and secondly to act as a guide.
"Well, that's a big change."
Xiao Chen looked around and nodded.
"This is a real ancient town. Those tourist ancient towns are not interesting at all."
Bai Ye was also quite interested in this town.
"Brother Chen, this can be considered a paradise-like existence, right?"
"For them, yeah."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"The people here should still live a life of working from sunrise to sunset, and living a simple and easy life."
“That’s great.”
After Bai Ye finished speaking, he thought of something.
“Is there no internet here?”
“There are none in town.”
Xiao Yu shook his head.
“There are very few smartphones.”
"Ah? Why?"
The white night is strange.
"Because the Xiao family wants them to live a simple life and see the outside world. How many people would be content with their current peaceful life? Here, the Xiao family is their heaven, and they cannot be exposed to the outside world."
Xiao Chen said lightly.
"Ah? What's the point of that? Isn't this... to control them?"
Bai Ye frowned.
"Haha, didn't you just say 'that's great'?"
Xiao Chen looked at Bai Ye and asked with a smile.
"Um... I think this life is pretty good, but there's no internet..."
Bai Ye couldn't continue talking after this.
Isn’t it good to have no internet?
For the people here, it doesn’t matter whether there is an Internet or not, right?
Only people from big cities feel that life is boring without the Internet.
So, at this moment, Bai Ye didn’t know whether he should envy them or not.
"If they don't see the outside world, they will feel at ease here... For them, a simple life is a kind of happiness."
Hao Jian spoke up and said that Jianshan also had such a subsidiary town.
"Too."
Bai Ye looked at Hao Jian and nodded.
"Let's go."
Xiao Chen walked forward slowly. He came to the town to find someone.
"Master."
When the people in the town saw Xiao Yu, they stopped and greeted him respectfully.
Bai Ye had only seen this kind of scene in costume films. It felt a bit familiar, yet also a bit awkward.
Although he also received such treatment in the Bai family, there was still a difference when compared between the two.
"Young Master."
Suddenly, someone spoke to Xiao Chen and even bent over.
Xiao Chen was stunned. Young Master?
"Master, don't you recognize me? When you were here before, you often came to town... When you came back two days ago, I saw you, but I didn't dare to say hello."
The person who spoke was an old man in his sixties, but he looked quite well.
"Uncle Wang?"
Xiao Chen looked at him for a few times and finally recognized him.
The old man was a little excited when he saw Xiao Chen recognized him: "Yes, it's me. I didn't expect that the young master still remembered me..."
"Uncle Wang, haha, I didn't expect to see you."
Xiao Chen also laughed. He had many acquaintances in the town.
Just like the old man said just now, when he was here before, he would often come to the town to play... After all, there were no outsiders on Xiaoshan except the children of the Xiao family, so it was far less fun than in the town.
"Haha, I never thought that after so many years, you... have grown up so much!"
The old man nodded.
"If you hadn't said it yourself that day, I wouldn't have dared to admit it."
"Well, I haven't been back for many years..."
Xiao Chen smiled and greeted the old man.
While they were talking, many more people came over and greeted Xiao Chen.
Although they were all very respectful, which made Xiao Chen a little uncomfortable, it made him feel more intimate.
He recalled his childhood memories, and the faces before him, which were obviously much older, matched the faces in his memory.
It was also at this moment that he felt a greater sense of belonging here.
This is where he grew up and this is his home.
After he came to the Xiao family, he rarely felt this sense of belonging except in that courtyard.
After some greetings, Xiao Chen left.
Before leaving, he told them that he would treat them to lunch at the best restaurant in town.
The old man and others all smiled and nodded, they also wanted to have a good chat with the young master who had been away from home for many years.
"Brother, I haven't seen you so happy since you came to the Xiao family."
Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Chen and said.
"Haha, I didn't expect to see so many acquaintances."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Uncle Wang asked me about you before... They haven't forgotten you either."
Xiao Yu looked back and said to Xiao Chen.
"After all...someone still remembers me."
Xiao Chen felt a little complicated.
Ten minutes later, they arrived in front of a house.
Xiao Chen looked around. He used to come here often, but it was a bit shabby before. Now it has been well repaired.
This is the wet nurse's home.
She lost her child, but her man is still there.
Xiao Chen went down the mountain just to meet this man.
"I'll go knock on the door."
Xiao Yu said this and walked forward and knocked on the door.
Soon, the door opened and a woman came out.
When she saw so many people standing outside, she was stunned.
But soon, she recognized Xiao Yu and said respectfully, "Hello, young master."
"Well, we are here to find..."
Xiao Yu nodded and looked at Xiao Chen. He really didn't know who to look for.
Xiao Chen looked at the woman and had a vague guess about her identity.
"I'm looking for Chen Ze."
“This is my eldest brother.”
Xiao Yu introduced.
Hearing Xiao Yu's words, the woman was startled, then she thought of something and quickly bent down: "Meet the young master..."
There has been a lot of discussion about Xiao Chen in the town these past two days, and she has heard about it too.
She didn't expect Xiao Chen to appear outside her house.
"Well, is Chen Ze at home?"
Xiao Chen nodded and asked.
Perhaps hearing the noise, a man in his fifties came out.
When he saw Xiao Chen, he was stunned at first, then he recognized him and took a few quick steps: "Master, why are you here?"
"Uncle Chen."
Xiao Chen looked at the man and smiled.
"I came to see you."
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, the man was somewhat flattered: "Master, please come in..."
"good."
Xiao Chen nodded and took Bai Ye and others in.
"Go make some tea."
The man said to the somewhat uneasy woman, asking Xiao Chen and the others to sit down.
"Master, please take a seat."
"Haha, we haven't seen each other for many years. Why is Uncle Chen being so polite to me?"
Xiao Chen looked at the man and said with a smile.
"this……"
The man looked at Xiao Chen and smiled bitterly in his heart. How could the past be the same as now?
Soon, the woman made the tea and poured the water.
"Uncle Chen, this aunt is..."
Xiao Chen looked at the woman and asked.
"Um."
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, the man nodded, seeming a little uneasy.
"Master, after Hong Hui left, I..."
"Uncle Chen, you don't have to explain. I understand. You can't live alone after Aunt Xu left... In the end, this is my fault. I got Aunt Xu into trouble, and I'm sorry for you."
Xiao Chen looked at the man and said in a deep voice.
"No, no, no, I don't blame you, Master. Hong Hui knew it. She knew it was dangerous, but she still went. It was her own choice. You can't blame anyone. It's all fate."
The man waved his hands and said bitterly.
"Uncle Chen, don't worry. I will settle all the things that happened back then, including Aunt Xu's revenge. Whoever killed her will be killed by me!"
Xiao Chen said seriously.
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, the man's face changed: "No, Master, you don't have to avenge Hong Hui... She said that everything was her will, even if it cost her life! I think she is very happy that you think of her... Besides, it is her honor to be buried in the back mountain of the Xiao family."
Xiao Chen frowned. He didn't expect Chen Ze to say that.
He opened his mouth to say something, but... he didn't know how to say it.
——
I'm so sorry. Good night.
