Chapter 2 Successor

The moon has hung high, the night has arrived, the distant sky is dark, and there are only a few stars.

The sky peak in the night is like a sharp sword, and I can only see a dark outline that goes into the clouds and inserts the sky.

Under the peak of the sky, Lingcang Lake is also dark and slowly floating. The lake looks particularly cold, and a breeze strokes the shore of the lake, bringing light moisture and refreshing.

At this time, an old man was standing in the quiet woods on the shore, dressed in a Taoist robe, clean and clean. He faced Lingcang Lake so quietly, with his hands behind his back, and his long cuffs and chest-length white whitches moved slightly in the wind.

After a while, there was a sound of dead leaves being trampled on in the distance of the forest. A woman in a blue skirt led a little girl and slowly came to him. He obviously heard the slight movement of his earlobe, but he slowly closed his vigorous eyes and didn't know it.

Before a while, the woman walked behind him and stopped. The little girl led by her left hand held her mouth, and a pair of big flexible eyes curiously touched the old man with her back to them, but the woman's eyes were hazy.

"Brother!" Until a long time, a tear in the woman's eyes had slipped down her white and beautiful face, flowing a shallow sadness.

She seemed to muffle the sound of "brother" from her throat, as if a light thunder in the quiet night sounded in the heart of the old man who stood on her back. The old man's shoulders obviously trembled and breathed a long sigh of relief before saying, "Here you are coming!"

The old man finally turned around and slowly turned his body like a stone sculpture that suddenly woke up from a thousand years of sleep.

The two stood opposite each other, and their eyes were suddenly hazy at this moment, as if the clear sky was suddenly covered with clouds and was about to rain.

They stood by the lake and said something with a slightly sad look, as if they were a pair of immortal couples. People who passed by unconsciously walked softly and had an idea from the bottom of their hearts that they did not want to disturb them.

And there is a relatively large manor "Liang Mansion" in the west of Liangjia Village, which is Liang Ziqiao's home.

The Liang family is a famous big family in the surrounding villages and towns. The predecessors of the Liang family have made some achievements in the army or politics. The current head of the Liang family, that is, Liang Ziqiao's grandfather, also used to be an officer in the army. Unfortunately, his legs were abandoned in a battle and then he was discharged.

At this moment, the night is dark, but the lights in the Liang family are still lit, and the two children are walking quickly through the corridor.

"Xiaohe, what did Grandpa ask us to do at this late hour?" Liang Ziqiao said a little trembling.

Li Xiaohe was also puzzled but expressionless and said casually, "At that time, we will know. We will go there soon."

"If Grandpa asks you something later, you have to cover for me." Liang Ziqiao kept guessing in his heart, and his expression was constantly changing.

"I know, when did I betray you again?" Li Xiaohe is a little helpless.

By this time, they had turned a corner and saw that there was a hall door in front of them, which was brightly lit out to reflect the flowers and plants in the small courtyard in front of the hall.

Li Xiaohe was about to enter Liang Ziqiao quickly, but pulled him down and stopped him. Li Xiaohe was suddenly pulled, and his small body couldn't help leaning back and turned his head to ask Liang Ziqiao why, but Liang Ziqiao quickly walked forward.

At this time, a middle-aged man bowed and came out of the insider. Liang Ziqiao came forward and pulled him and asked, "Uncle Wang, why did Grandpa ask us to come here so late?"

Uncle Wang is the housekeeper of the Liang family. He was pulled over like this by Liang Ziqiao. After straightening his clothes and putting his hands behind him, he smiled and said, "Young master, you will know when you go in. Don't worry, it should be a good thing." After saying that, Uncle Wang smiled at the corners of his mouth, blew his beard and left, and no longer pestered Liang Ziqiao.

Li Xiaohe bowed to Uncle Wang. Seeing that Uncle Wang had gone far away, he came forward and pulled Liang Ziqiao and said, "Young master, let's go in."

Liang Ziqiao couldn't ask why, so he had to walk to the hall, and Li Xiaohe also quickly followed him.

At this time, there were two old men sitting in the upper seat of the hall. One was slightly fat, with white hair, red face, and a blanket on his lower body. The other man was dressed in cloth, but he was clean and tidy, and his face was ruddy. During the conversation and laugh, he gave people a smell that the wild crane would fly away.

The two old men said something and looked very happy. Several young maids on both sides bowed and stood quietly. In the teapot in their hands, there was green smoke coming out of the mouth of the pot, and the faint fragrance of tea also filled the whole hall with the green smoke.

Liang Ziqiao walked into the hall uneasily. He thought he had made a mistake again. Grandpa came to him to lecture him. As soon as he entered the door, he found that Grandpa was sitting in the hall. He looked very good, and suddenly his uneasy heart was relieved.

Looking aside, there is still one person sitting. Isn't this the old man who was talking at the ferry during the day? Liang Ziqiao was a little confused, full of doubts, and his body also paused at the moment he entered the door.

Li Xiaohe stood behind him, half of which was blocked and lowered his head slightly. Suddenly, he felt that Liang Ziqiao's forward pace in front of him paused, so he raised his head slightly and naturally saw the man sitting in the hall.

At this time, he couldn't help but vaguely appear in his mind. In the evening, he turned around and finally saw the old storyteller. Unexpectedly, he appeared in the upper seat of the Liang family hall at this time.

At this time, when Mr. Liang saw Liang Ziqiao and Li Xiaohe coming in, he turned around and waved to them. He said with a smile, "Ziqiao, Xiaohe, come and visit Mr. Lu."

Liang Ziqiao and Li Xiaohe naturally had questions, but they did not dare to ask more in front of Mr. Liang. Hearing Mr. Liang's call, they went forward together to the storyteller and said, "I've met Mr. Lu."

And the old man who told the storyt naturally looked at the confusion of the two children, and only found it very interesting but did not explain.

Mr. Liang waited for two juniors to greet him before turning his head to face the old man who was telling the storyteller. He asked with a flattering look, "What do you think of my grandson?"

The old man who told the storyteller heard this question, brushed his beard, paused, as if he was thinking about something, nodded and said, "This son has a very good body and his eyes are divine. He must do something in the future, and the old man has a successor."

When Mr. Liang heard the words praising Liang Ziqiao's good body, he was naturally very happy and his eyes were a little light. When he waited for the last sentence of "There is a successor", he suddenly felt a little discouraged, as if he didn't want a successor.

The reason why Mr. Liang has such a behavior is to start with the identity of the storyteller. The storyteller's name is "Lu Guang", which is the homage of a general that Mr. Liang used to follow.

Speaking of the general he followed before, he was a famous figure. Mr. Liang also had the opportunity to directly become an officer because he was his personal guard. If Mr. Liang hadn't been injured in a battle, he would have done more.

When Mr. Liang used to follow the general as a personal guard, he was very good with the general. I heard that the general had this brother, who was Lu Guang, the old storyteller, who practiced in the mountains.

Today, as soon as Lu Guang arrived at Liang's mansion and explained his identity, he was very honored. Although Lu Guang looked down on his Liang family, and the reason why he came here was also a more important thing, Mr. Liang still felt that this was an opportunity. If his grandson could be regarded as a subordinate by Lu Guang, his ancestors would show that the Liang family was blessed. .

But obviously, Lu Guang didn't look at Liang Ziqiao. Just now, after Master Liang asked, he only said that Master Liang had a successor. Mr. Liang knew the implied meaning, don't think too much about it. Your grandson will stay at home to guard your family business in the future.

Under this sentence "There is a successor", the thought in Mr. Liang's heart was naturally broken, and his heart was also vented.

Lu Guang saw that Mr. Liang's heart was unhappy and dark, and he didn't disturb him. It was not until Mr. Liang sighed in a breath that he put down the teacup in his hand.

Mr. Liang sighed and suddenly felt that his delusions were shattered, but his body and mind were much more relaxed. He laughed at himself and said, "I was rude just now, which made Mr. Lu laugh."

"Where, where, Mr. Liang is a blessed person, and there is nothing that can make people laugh." Lu Guang returned with a smile.

Mr. Liang saw that Lu Guang's smile was full of goodwill and unconsciously felt good, but he turned his head and skipped Liang Ziqiao and said to Li Xiaohe, "Xiaohe, come forward."

Although Li Xiaohe was named a subordinate in the Liang family, the Liang family treated him as warmly as his own family. At this time, he was nervous and worried when he saw that Mr. Liang was so serious about him.

Liang Ziqiao saw everything that came into the door, and was also very surprised by Grandpa's abnormality today. At this time, he saw Grandpa skipped his name by Li Xiaohe, but he buried his head and didn't know what he was thinking.

Lu Guang also focused his eyes on Li Xiaohe at this time. Li Xiaohe suddenly felt a little depressed and slowly stepped forward.

Li Xiaohe walked to Mr. Liang, and Mr. Liang stretched out his hands to support his shoulders. His eyes were a little hazy and said, "Xiaohe, since you came to Liang's house, these ten years have passed in a hurry, and some things should be told you."

Hearing this, Li Xiaohe's small body suddenly trembled and only felt that a mountain was about to press on him.
