Chapter 629 Looks Familiar
Xi Yu continued: "Linlin, I will send some secret guards and cronies to follow you to protect your safety. You must also be careful in the Guishang Kingdom, and everything must take your own safety as the top priority."
"Thank you, husband. I will take care of myself, you don't have to worry."
"That's good. Get ready and have a good rest these days."
After saying that, Ouyang Linlin turned and left, her steps light and her face filled with a happy smile.
Xi Yu looked at her back and prayed silently in his heart, hoping that she could find the answer she wanted in the Kushan Kingdom.
On the other side, Jin Gushun was riding a horse and galloping all the way.
At this time, it was already getting late, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the earth, giving people a peaceful and mysterious feeling.
Jin Gushun looked at the barren mountains and ridges around him and couldn't help but feel worried.
He didn't know how long he would have to walk before he found a place to stay.
Just when he felt desperate, he suddenly saw a family in the mountains.
Jin Gushun was overjoyed and hurriedly rode to the door of this house.
After he dismounted, he knocked on the door. After a while, the door opened and an old woman appeared in front of him.
Jin Gushun asked politely: "Hello, old man, I am a traveler passing through. Can I stay here for one night?"
The old woman looked Jin Gushun up and down, and saw that he was well-dressed and elegant, and she felt a little fond of him.
She smiled and said, "Okay, come in."
Jin Gushun was overjoyed after hearing this and quickly thanked him.
He walked into the house and saw that it was very simply decorated, but very neat.
The old woman poured a glass of water for Jin Gushun, and then said, "You sit down for a while, and I will prepare dinner for you."
Jin Gushun said quickly: "Thank you, old man. Don't bother me, I'm not hungry."
The old woman smiled and said: "No trouble, you must be hungry after running all the way. You sit down for a while, I will be fine soon."
After saying that, the old woman turned and entered the kitchen.
Jin Gushun sat in the room and looked around.
After a while, he heard footsteps outside, and then an old man walked in.
When the old man saw Jin Gushun, he had a surprised expression on his face.
He asked: "Who are you? Why are you here?"
Jin Gushun stood up quickly and said: "Hello, old man, I am a traveler passing by and would like to stay here for one night."
After hearing this, the old man looked Jin Gushun up and down.
"Okay, you can stay here for one night."
"Thank you, old man. That's very kind of you."
"You're welcome. It's not easy even when you're away from home. You sit down for a while and I'll help the old woman cook."
After saying that, the old man turned around and entered the kitchen.
Jin Gushun sat in the room, feeling very warm in his heart.
He felt that although this family in the mountains lived in poverty, they were very kind and enthusiastic.
He decided that he would do more good deeds and help those in need in the future.
The old man frowned and walked into the kitchen without saying a word.
Seeing his appearance, the old woman couldn't help but feel a little strange and asked: "Old man, what's wrong with you? Are you unhappy because I took in that young man?"
The old man shook his head, still frowning, and replied with confused eyes: "No, I just feel strange. When I saw that young man for the first time, I always felt like I had seen him somewhere before."
After hearing this, the old woman fell into deep thought. She tried to remember whether she had seen this young man, but she had no clue.
"Old man, don't think about it. Maybe you remember it wrong. Let's cook quickly and don't make our young people wait too long."
The old man nodded, there was still a trace of doubt in his eyes, but he still started cooking.
After a while, the food was ready. The old woman put the food on the table, and then went to ask Jin Gushun to eat.
At the same time, Xi Yu was sitting in the study, holding a tea cup in his hand, thinking about Xiao Cui and Qian Guoqiang again.
He frowned and thought to himself: "They are staying in the inn adjacent to Youzhou. They probably spend a lot of money every day. It is not an option to continue like this."
So, he made up his mind to send someone to send them some money to solve their urgent needs.
In the inn, Qian Guoqiang was lying on the bed, sighing.
"Why hasn't it been solved yet?"
Xiaocui was on the side, pacing anxiously.
She stopped, looked at Qian Guoqiang, and said angrily: "Qian Guoqiang, what's wrong with you? Aren't you going to accompany me? Why are you starting to complain now?"
Qian Guoqiang sat up and said helplessly: "Xiao Cui, I don't want this either. But we have been waiting here for so long and there is no news at all. I think this matter is not easy to handle, so we should go back quickly. "
Xiaocui became even more angry after hearing this. She glared at Qian Guoqiang and said, "How could you do this? You promised to accompany me at the beginning, but now you want to back out? I tell you, I will never give up. !”
Qian Guoqiang looked at Xiaocui's firm eyes and couldn't help but be moved in his heart.
He sighed and said: "Xiao Cui, I know you are very determined. But there is no way for us to wait blindly like this. How about we think of other ways?"
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Xiaocui opened the door and saw a servant standing at the door with some currency in his hand.
The servant said: "This is given to you by the Prime Minister. I hope it can help you."
Xiaocui took the silver and was very grateful.
She said: "Thank you, Prime Minister. However, we can't have it."
She was so flattered.
"Since the Prime Minister gave it to you, just take it. After all, you spend a lot of money these days."
The servant then turned and left.
Xiaocui closed the door, returned to the room, handed the currency to Qian Guoqiang, and said, "Qian Guoqiang, look, this is sent by the Prime Minister. He still cares about us."
Qian Guoqiang looked at the silver and was very moved in his heart.
"The Prime Minister is such a good man, we can't back down."
After receiving the subsidy from Xi Yu, Qian Guoqiang swept away the previous gloom and showed a smile on his face.
His eyes narrowed into slits, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes relaxed, and he said excitedly: "Haha, with this money, we can persevere for a while longer!"
On the other side, Jin Gushun was sitting at the table, eating uncomfortably with the old man and the old woman.
Because the old man would look at him carefully with a strange look from time to time.
That gaze was like a searchlight, making Jin Gushun feel terrified.
His brows couldn't help but frown slightly, his eyes full of doubts.
After a while, the old man finally seemed to remember something, and an imperceptible light flashed in his eyes.
But he remained calm and said calmly: "You can stay in the south room tonight."
Jin Gushun nodded.
Then, the old man took the old woman's hand, and the two quietly came to a hidden room.
The old man's face was full of seriousness, and he lowered his voice and said to the old woman: "Old woman, I remembered that this Jin Gushun looks very much like a person I knew before."
The old woman's eyes widened and she asked in surprise: "Really? Who could that be?"
The old man frowned, his eyes deep and thoughtful.
"But don't let him notice anything yet." The old woman nodded, with a solemn look on her face, as if she was also thinking about the deeper meaning.
The old man took a deep breath and said slowly to the old woman: "Old woman, this man looks very much like a friend from the same village. As you know, my companion has passed away long ago."
There was a complicated expression on the old man's face, which was both nostalgia and doubt.
The old woman's eyes widened slightly, and she said with surprise: "Ah? There is such a coincidence?"
The old man nodded firmly and said seriously: "I am very sure that this person and my companion must be related by blood."
His eyes sparkled with inquiry.
The old woman frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Then what are you going to do?"
"I plan to ask him carefully later to make sure the relationship between this is clear."
The old man sat on the chair, staring closely at Jin Gushun in front of him, with a serious expression.
The old man spoke slowly: "Young man, what is your name? Where do you live?"
Jin Gushun answered honestly: "My name is Jin Gushun, and my family is from the Xianbei tribe in the north."
When the old man heard the word "Xianbei", his eyes widened suddenly, with a very surprised look on his face, and he said in surprise: "Are you from Xianbei?"
Jin Gushun was a little confused by the old man's reaction. He nodded and asked doubtfully: "Yes, old man, what's wrong?"
The old man was silent for a moment, and then asked: "Then do you know your life experience?"
Jin Gushun felt even more strange. He frowned and said in confusion: "Old man, why do you ask such a question?" His face was full of puzzlement and confusion.
Jin Gushun felt an inexplicable doubt in his heart.
He has felt strange about his life experience since he was a child.
He also noticed differences in appearance and personality between himself and his parents.
People around him also said that he looked more like a Central Plains person.
But now, the old man's words aroused his curiosity again. Does he really have any special background?
There was a hint of confusion in his eyes, his brows furrowed slightly, and he fell into deep thought.
He began to recall bits and pieces of his childhood, and those vague memories gradually emerged in his mind.
When he was very young, he didn't pay much attention to it and just thought it was someone else's joke.
But as he grew older, he felt more and more that these words did not seem to be groundless.
He also tried to ask his parents about his life experience, but his parents always avoided talking.
Just tell him that he is their biological son, and he will understand other things when he grows up.
Jin Gushun understood that his parents had something to hide, but this made his curiosity even more intense.
At this moment, facing the old man's inquiry, Jin Gushun's doubts became more intense.
He looked at the old man, hoping to get some answers from him. The old man seemed to see through his mind, smiled slightly, and said: "Young man, your life experience is indeed a bit unusual. I ask this because I want to help you solve the mystery in your heart."
"Old man, do you know my life experience? Then tell me quickly!"
There was a trace of sadness in the old man's eyes.
He slowly said to Jin Gushun: "My child, you actually look very much like a companion from my hometown, but he is no longer alive. Back then, his child was lost and was stolen by the Xianbei people. I heard that it was Because the Xianbei couple couldn't have a child, they sent someone to steal it."
The old man's voice was low and heavy, as if he was immersed in painful memories.
He paused and then continued: "I just heard you say that you are from Xianbei, which further confirms my guess. I think you may be his lost child."
After hearing the old man's words, Jin Gushun's heart palpitated.
He didn't expect that his life experience would be so bizarre, and that he would have such entanglements with the Xianbei people.
There was an expression of disbelief on his face, and his mouth was slightly open, but no words could be spoken.
On the other side, the sun shines on the floor through the window. Xi Yu is sitting on the bed, frowning and thinking about something.
Suddenly, he thought of something and jumped out of bed.
Xi Yu said to himself: "Oh, how could I forget about this!"
He hurriedly put on his shoes and walked to Ouyang Linlin's room.
Arriving at Ouyang Linlin's door, Xi Yu knocked gently.
After a while, Ouyang Linlin opened the door. She was wearing a loose pajamas, her hair was a little messy, and she had obviously just gotten up.
Xi Yu asked: "Ouyang Linlin, didn't you say you would leave in a few days? I asked you to find a woman for your brother, how did it go?"
Ouyang Linlin yawned and rubbed her eyes.
"Oh, I didn't forget. I've been paying attention, but I haven't found the right one in the past few days. Don't worry, I will do it as soon as possible. I must get this done before I leave."
Xi Yu came out of Ouyang Linlin's room and was about to go back to his house when he saw Xi Zhicai in the yard.
He walked quickly and came to Xi Zhicai.
Xi Yu smiled and said to Xi Zhicai: "Brother, I just went to ask Ouyang Linlin. She is helping you find a woman. If there is a suitable one, she will tell you as soon as possible."
After hearing this, Xi Zhicai showed a happy smile on his face.
"Brother, thank you and your siblings for caring so much about me. In fact, you can't rush things like fate. What should come will always come."
Xi Zhicai sat on the stone bench in the yard, looked at the sky, and sighed deeply.
Xi Yu came over, sat next to Xi Zhicai, and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Xi Zhicai glanced at Xi Yu and said, "I stay here every day, and I'm a little depressed. I want to ride a bike outside for a walk."
Xi Yu thought for a moment and said, "Yes, yes, but you must find someone to follow and protect you."
Xi Zhi was silent for a while and said, "Okay, then you can make arrangements."
Xi Yu said: "I'll let Daniu follow you. He's good at skills and smart. He can protect your safety."
Xi Zhicai nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll listen to you."
Xi Yu said: "Brother, you might as well go for a walk to relax and adjust your mentality. But you have to pay attention to safety and don't go to dangerous places."
Xi Zhicai said: "I understand, don't worry."
Xi Yu said, "Then when are you going to leave?"
Xi Zhicai said: "I want to leave now."
Xi Yu said: "Then I'll call the secret guard Qin Feng and let him prepare."
After a while, a tall man with a stern face appeared in front of Xi Yu.
He is secret guard Qin Feng.
Xi Yu said: "Qin Feng, my brother is going out for a walk, you secretly protect his safety."
Qin Feng responded, turned around, walked to Xi Zhicai, and said, "Sir, please."
Xi Zhicai got on his bicycle and said, "I haven't ridden for a long time, and I feel a little rusty."
Xi Yu said: "Brother, be careful. Qin Feng, you have to protect my brother."
Qin Feng responded again, and then followed Xi Zhicai, keeping a certain distance.
Xi Zhicai rode his bicycle and slowly left the yard.
He was not riding fast, and seemed to be enjoying this long-lost freedom.
Qin Feng followed closely, observing the surrounding situation vigilantly.
His eyes were sharp and he didn't miss any suspicious details.
On the other side, Jin Gushun's eyes were full of eagerness and expectation.
He looked at the old man and asked: "Old man, where are my parents' hometown? Where are their graves?"
There was a trace of hesitation on the old man's face. He looked at the old woman beside him, seeming to be thinking about something.
The old woman gently pulled the corner of the old man's clothes and whispered: "It's better to be cautious. Although his face looks very similar to your companion's son, it doesn't mean that he is that child."
The old man listened to the old woman's words and shook his head.
There was still a trace of determination in his eyes.
This look is unmistakable.
He turned his head, looked at Jin Gushun, and said: "My child, your parents come from a far away place. Their hometown is in a place you have never heard of. As for their graves..."
The old man's voice was a little low, "They didn't leave any graves."
There was a burst of grief in Jin Gushun's heart, his eyes were moist, and tears were rolling in his eyes.
He didn't expect that his parents were no longer alive, and even their graves were nowhere to be found.
Seeing Jin Gushun's sad look, the old man felt a little sad.
He gently patted Jin Gushun's shoulder and said, "My child, although your parents are no longer here, you still have us who care about you."
Jin Gushun wiped his tears and nodded.
He looked at the old man gratefully and said, "Thank you, old man."
Jin Gushun took a deep breath to calm down his emotions.
A trace of relief flashed in the old man's eyes. He looked at Jin Gushun and said slowly: "Child, I can take you to my hometown tomorrow."
Jin Gushun's face showed an excitement that was difficult to conceal. His body trembled slightly, and there was a hint of urgency in his voice.
"Really? That's great! Thank you, old man!"
The old man smiled slightly and waved his hand.
"You're welcome. This is what I should do. But, will it delay you from doing anything?"
Jin Gushun shook his head quickly and said firmly: "No, old man! I was originally working for the Xianbei people, but now I know that the Xianbei people are my enemies. I hate them to the bone!" (End of this chapter)
