Chapter 444 Xie Yuchen's Arrival
When Wu Xie appeared in front of Fatty Wang the next day with swollen eyes, Fatty Wang knew that he had cried in the middle of the night. He turned around and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, finally venting his emotions.
Wu Xie and Fatty Wang finished their breakfast in silence. Just as they stepped out of the gate of the Wu family's old house and were about to go to the prison to pick up Wu Erbai's ashes, they saw a high-end car parked at the door.
The rear window slowly rolled down, and Xie Yuchen's beautiful face appeared in front of Wu Xie, "Get in the car!"
Although Wu Xie was puzzled by Xie Yuchen's arrival, he still got into the car with Fatty Wang. Only after getting in did he realize that the driver was Hei Xia Zi, whom he had not seen for a long time.
"Hey! Mr. Hei, you've got a new job!" Fatty Wang was looking at the familiar man, worrying about having nothing to talk about.
"What new job? I'm just following Hua'er Ye to make a living! Otherwise, I won't even be able to pay the rent in the future!" While driving, Hei Xia Zi glanced through the rearview mirror at Xie Yuchen who was handling matters in the back seat.
"Master Xie, why are you here?" Wu Xie's words broke the silence in the back seat.
In between handling official business, Xie Yuchen looked up at Wu Xie and said, "Now you look like the eldest son and grandson of the Wu family."
"In the past, I was ignorant and kept bothering Master Xie. Now, I really understand." Wu Xie said self-deprecatingly.
"Your second uncle once sent someone to find me. He told me a lot, but the most important point is that he asked me to keep you safe." Xie Yuchen spoke as if he was saying that the weather was really good today. His light words sounded so heavy in Wu Xie's ears.
Wu Xie's eyes moistened, and he choked up as he looked at the scenery outside the car window that kept receding, "What else did he say?"
"He said he didn't regret having done that. If there really were wronged spirits in the world, they would come after him alone, and he would fight them with his own strength."
"Really?" Wu Xie lowered his head and sneered, "He always silently took on everything for all of us, and then quietly brought us back one by one to scold us, and finally punished us to kneel in the ancestral hall, copy the family rules, and put us in solitary confinement."
"He loves you more than you think. No matter whether you are his nephew or not, he loves you." Xie Yuchen looked at Wu Xie and couldn't bear it, so he comforted Wu Xie.
Wu Xie looked at the prison gate that slowly came into view, and he suddenly felt like retreating. He wanted to escape from there so that he could comfort himself that his second uncle was not dead, just like his third uncle who was just missing. But he knew that his third uncle was still alive and might be waiting for him to rescue him in some corner.
"Wu Xie, you have to face all of this alone." After saying this, Xie Yuchen left the car and stood under the shade of a tree not far away with Hei Xia Zi and Wang Pang Zi.
The three of them just watched quietly, watching Wu Xie comfort himself psychologically in the car, then he mustered up the courage to open the door and walk out.
"Fatty Wang, are you still working for that person?"
Xie Yuchen's sudden words startled Fatty Wang who was beside Hei Xia Zi.
Fatty Wang felt as if something was pressing against his waist. He turned his head and saw Hei Xiazi with a smile on his face.
"Hey Fatty~ Our Master Hua is asking you a question."
Fatty Wang looked at the grinning Hei Xia Zi, lowered his head to glance at the dagger with a black glow on his waist, and swallowed hard.
"What is Hua'erye talking about? What do you mean by working for that person? Who can I work for? With my IQ, how desperate must that person be to let me work for him?" Fatty Wang felt cold sweat on his back, and his hair stood up as if he was being stared at by some ferocious beast.
"Don't try to change the subject, and don't try to deceive me with words. We have already investigated you thoroughly before you suddenly appeared in front of the Nine Gates." Xie Yuchen fiddled with the mobile phone in his hand, and the sound of games could be heard from the phone from time to time.
“Although my Xie family has long since stopped caring about the affairs of the Nine Gates and has long since withdrawn from the Nine Gates, there is still some friendship between them.” Xie Yuchen moved his eyes slightly and glanced at Fatty Wang.
"Love and trust are both non-renewable resources. Once trust collapses, people will become indifferent, even cold-blooded." Xie Yuchen slowly took a few steps towards Fatty Wang. "Tell me, if Wu Xie knew that your encounter with him was a premeditated plan from the beginning, what would he do?"
Xie Yuchen leaned close to Fatty Wang's ear and told him something that only the three of them knew.
"Master Xie, don't worry! I will only stay by Wu Xie's side in this life, at least while I'm alive. If I'm in trouble, please give him a hand because Wu Xie has been sincere to you." Fatty Wang changed his previous unreliable attitude and looked at Xie Yuchen with a serious face.
"Wu Xie has been a headache since the beginning. He is always fooling around and causing trouble. He obviously doesn't have the ability, but he pretends to be omnipotent. It's really annoying. To be honest, I really can't like him like this."
"However, even so, Wu Xie is not completely useless. At least, he is sincere to others, and his personality is straightforward and free and easy. Considering the tiny blood relationship between us, and considering this affection, I have decided to ensure that he will have enough food and clothing in his next life."
The price Xie Yuchen paid to get the item from Wu Erbai was to ensure Wu Xie's life was safe and secure. If Wu Xie wanted to die and get himself into trouble, it would have nothing to do with Xie Yuchen.
The next moment, Wu Xie slowly walked out of the gloomy prison.
I saw him holding a small and exquisite urn in his hands carefully, as if it contained the weight of the entire world.
The moment he stepped out of the prison gate, the sunlight shone on him, but failed to illuminate his dull eyes.
Wu Xie slowly squatted down, then gently pressed his cheek against the urn, feeling the icy temperature. He murmured to himself, "Second Uncle, why are you so gentle!" His voice was as faint as a candle in the wind, fleeting.
However, no one responded to his call. So he repeated the words again, each time with more force and more sorrow: "Second Uncle, why are you... so light..."
In the end, Wu Xie simply knelt down and prostrated himself on the hard concrete floor, holding the inconspicuous urn in his arms. He questioned his second uncle, who could no longer answer him, over and over again, tears flowing like a flood, soaking the ground beneath him.
Hei Xia Zi slightly turned sideways and took a small step to the side. The sharp dagger that was originally against Fatty Wang's waist and flashing with cold light was slowly retracted with his movement.
Fatty Wang saw this and ran towards Wu Xie as if he had been pardoned. When he came to Wu Xie's side, he bent down and tried to help Wu Xie up from the ground. However, when his eyes touched the tightly held urn in Wu Xie's arms, his hands suddenly became a little at a loss, not knowing how to start without touching Wu Xie's fragile and sensitive nerves.
Wu Xie had a face full of sorrow and despair, and he murmured to himself, "Fatty, I used to naively believe that no matter how high the mountains are or how deep the rivers are, our friendship can overcome all obstacles, and there are still many, many days in the future waiting for us to spend together.
But it was not until now that I deeply realized that things in this world are ever-changing, and the comings and goings between people are not something we can decide.
I thought that even if there were some conflicts and estrangements between my second uncle and I, there would always be enough time to slowly resolve them and reach a reconciliation with each other.
But now it seems that all we have is time, and it is precisely this seemingly endless time that is too stingy to leave us even the slightest chance to make up for our regrets. "At this point, Wu Xie trembled and stretched out a hand, holding Wang Pangzi's hand tightly with all his strength, as if he was afraid that the other party would disappear if he let go.
At this moment, Xie Yuchen walked slowly and steadily to Wu Xie's front. He lowered his head and stared at Wu Xie, and said softly: "Wu Xie, there is probably nothing in this world that can be more convincing than time.
Because it never needs to obtain anyone's consent in advance, it can easily change everything around it.
No matter who we are, we cannot make time stop for ourselves. On the contrary, time often mercilessly freezes us in some heartbreaking moments. "
Xie Yuchen half-knelt down and stretched out his hand, "Wu Xie, now is not the time for you to be sad. You still have a lot of things to do. Don't let your second uncle down for everything he has done for you."
Wu Xie looked up at Xie Yuchen who was standing with his back to the sun, glanced at his outstretched hand, and finally broke free from Fatty Wang's hand and tightly held Xie Yuchen's outstretched hand.
