The First Chapter of Seventy-Four: White Hair Sending Black

en the qiong-sao agreed, Lady Cui took Jia Yin and went for a stroll. 。Since it was too lively over at the mountains, Mrs. Cui wasn't used to it, so she took Jiayin and walked towards the fields. 。It'...Seeing this, Old Master Liu couldn't bear it and personally helped him sit down. “Brother Guo, don't worry, let's talk slowly,”

Always consider yourself and your children first. 。Mr. Guo's hands were trembling, it was clear he had already guessed a few points. 。As expected, Mr. Wen gritted his teeth and said, "When we were in trouble, we were almost caught by the barbarians. We could only enter the forest and met Li brothers and the people from their village." 。Because the winter was too harsh for traveling, they stayed together in the mountains for several months. 。One day, a child suddenly went missing from the village. When everyone was in a panic, a bandit shot an arrow carrying a message, demanding food and silver. 。There was no silver or grain in the village, and they wanted to save their child. So they quickly chased after them, killed the bandits in retaliation, and saved the child. 。And this jade pendant was found with the bandits. 。Mr. Guo still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, his upper and lower teeth were fighting, and he still insisted on asking, "Did the bandits only take things, are my sons still safe" Mr. Wen looked at Li Lao Si and Liu Diao Tou. Li Lao Si took a deep breath and shook his head, shattering the old man's hope. 。"The twelve people we saw, four men and four women and four children, were all killed. We buried them with our own hands." 。Mr. Guo fainted and fell off his chair at once. 。Guo Qing rushed over like a madman, hugged Old Master Guo, and looked at everyone with eyes full of hatred and anger. 。 "You all know, so why say it out loud! Do you really want to kill my uncle" The crowd all frowned upon hearing this, but they thought he was simply worried and acting out of character. 。For a moment, everyone helped to lift Old Master Guo up. Dr. Zhang also took out his silver needles and skillfully stuck seven or eight of them into the old man's body. 。Guo Wenhao was so young that he was frightened out of his wits. He hugged the snack and cried pitifully. 。Jia Yin hurried over and hugged him, patting him on the back with her small hands. 。Guo Wenhao probably didn't expect Jia Yin to coax him, he was a little surprised, and forgot about his fear just now. 。Soon, Mr. Guo woke up. The first thing he did was look for his grandson. When he saw his grandson being held by the plump girl, he wasn't frightened at all. He let out a long sigh of relief and tears flowed down his face. 。 "I knew that they hadn't come looking for so long, it must be a bad sign, but I always hoped they would have good luck and suddenly appear before me." 。"Unexpectedly, I still...still couldn't escape, huh!"

To lose a child in one's old age, a white-haired person sends a black-haired person off. Such is the most tragic thing in life.

Everyone was feeling sad and advised him, "Master Shan, you have to be strong. You still have your grandson to raise." 。Jia Yin led Guo Wenhao over, and Mr. Guo embraced his grandson, sobbing with emotion. 。"Wenhao, Grandpa only has you left." 。Guo Wenhao didn't understand what was happening, but he also knew that he should cry with his grandfather. 。Guo Qing stood beside the old and young, his expression seemed equally mournful, but Jia Yin was short, and raising her head, she could see the coldness and resentment in his eyes. 。She jumped back, instinctively taking two steps backward. 。Mrs. Cui thought she was frightened by Mr. Guo and immediately took her behind the crowd. 。Jiayin hugged Mrs. Cui's neck, she couldn't forget Guo Qing's eyes no matter what. 。Jia Yin leaned against Madam Guo's ear and whispered, "Auntie Shi, he's so scary! Like a bad person!" Madam Cui was startled, before she could speak, Guo Qing turned her head to look over. The lingering resentment in her eyes made Madam Cui's heart skip a beat. 。Perhaps seeing Jia Yin was just a one or two-year-old child, Mrs. Cui didn't seem to have any particular reaction. Guo Qing didn't pay much attention and continued to comfort Mr. Guo, urging him to get along with his grandson. 。

"Uncle, you still have me. My parents passed away when I was young. From now on, Uncle will be my father. I promise to be filial to Uncle and raise Haohao well."

"Good, good" 。Mr. Guo patted his nephew's shoulder and wiped away a tear, clearly still very satisfied with him. 。Mrs. Cui held Jiayin tightly, not daring to let go at all. After thinking for a moment, she told the maids to bring them hot tea again. 。Mr. Guo took a few sips, and after a while, he calmed down. Then, he bowed to Mr. Li Laosi and Master Liu and thanked them. 。Thank you, two gentlemen, for burying my children. 。"Could the two gentlemen tell us... how they died Were there any letters or possessions left behind"

Li Laosi quickly returned the salute and then said cautiously, "Master, I offer my condolences. Your family members were kidnapped by bandits and kept in a cellar. The weather was too cold, perhaps they couldn't stand it... They froze to death." 。Mr. Guo cried again. Though his children and grandchildren were spared from physical suffering, they still died tragically. 。Lao Si quickly said, "They didn't leave a will, but there were a few boxes of books thrown halfway, which we picked up." 。My nephew and Mr. Wen picked out a few books, and they have been studying them. The rest are all nicely sealed in our mountain cave, waiting to be retrieved when we have the opportunity. 。At this point, Jiaren took a book out of his bosom and held it up with both hands before Mr. Guo. 。Mr. Guo flipped through the pages, seeing his eldest son's private seal and his calligraphy on them. He couldn't help but hold the book and weep again. 。Li Laosi took out two more pieces of paper, “There are no coffins in the mountains, only boxes. Men and women will be buried separately.” 。Record the deceased person's appearance, age characteristics, and box markings. 。Keep this, Master. When the day comes to collect your bones, it will be easier to distinguish them. 。Mr. Guo trembled as he took it, insisted on kneeling and bowing his head, "Thank you, sir, for the kindness of giving my father a proper burial. The Guo family will surely repay your great kindness." 。"Mountain Master spoke too heavily. If we had gone a few days earlier, perhaps we could have saved them. It's a pity..." Lao Si supported Old Master Guo and thought of the women who had committed suicide. He sighed in his heart. 。The crowd continued to console him, and finally persuaded Old Mr. Guo to recover a lot. 。He had guessed this beforehand, knowing that his descendants hadn't suffered too much in their passing and were buried peacefully. The fact that the family library was also preserved brought him some solace. 。Guo Qingxu was afraid that her uncle would be even more heartbroken, so she urged them to say goodbye. 。Mr. Guo once again thanked everyone before leaving with his grandson. 。Perhaps thanking Jia Yin for her comfort just now, Guo Wenhao walked to the door and then turned back, kicking a small wooden horse to Jia Yin. 。The wooden horse was very smooth and intricately carved, clearly a cherished possession of his. 。Jia Yin originally wanted to refuse, but seeing Guo Wenhao's innocence and shyness in his eyes, she subconsciously took it. 。Everyone couldn't help but laugh, even Old Master Guo seemed to have relaxed a little. 。It's great that Wenhao has a little sister he likes. Let the child play with it, and when they live closer, they can also play together. 。Mrs. Cui brought Jia Yin forward to bow and thank him, then they escorted Mr. Guo out the door together. 。Seeing the family of three get into the carriage, everyone watched for a long time before sighing and returning to their seats. 。It is pitiful to see a person with white hair sending off a person with black hair. 。"Yeah, a move of the capital destroyed people's lives. " 。Fortunately, the nephew of Mountain Long looks quite filial. 。“There’s no need to worry too much about Mr. Guo,” said Old Master Liu, taking a sip of tea and comforting the others. “I heard that he has been contacting old friends lately and plans to reopen Taihua Academy.” 。I presume that as time passes, the pain will fade and things will get better. 。Mr. Wen, upon hearing this, asked, "That's good news! If it's close by, once the academy is built, I can have Jiaren go to study there." 。I was supposed to personally instruct you every day, but as a newcomer to the court, I'm quite busy and fear it will delay your progress. 。Just perfect. From now on, when Jiaren enters the academy, he can study diligently, and I can guide him from the side. Wouldn't that be even better Laoer only just returned from the city by carriage.Today is the grand court meeting. Logically, Li La'er and Mr. Wen should have come back together since they entered and exited together!Li Laotai th...
