Chapter 521 Picking up a child on the street
Xiao Xi and the others stayed in the capital for some more days, but still could not find the whereabouts of the ancestor.
The ancestor gave Xiaoxi the impression that he was not very smart. Brains are a good thing, but it is obvious that the ancestor does not have one.
I haven’t found the ancestor yet. Does he have a brain?
Xiaoxi is about to start school.
The eldest brother has just taken over the power in Nanyang, and he is needed to consolidate the situation there.
Ye Xingxian has been in Beijing for too long, and he still holds an important position. After all, he is a coal boss who makes money for the General Military Region, and he is also the head of a mountain.
Ye Lingfeng also knew that his two brothers and Xiao Xi had spent more than two months in the capital city for his matter.
He also felt very sorry.
The siblings gathered to discuss the matter.
"Brother, Fifth Brother, Xiaoxi, I have delayed you for so long because of my matter. Your time is precious." Ye Lingfeng said embarrassedly.
Ye Aotian: "Don't say that, Eighth Brother, I gained a lot from coming to the capital this time.
Now my eighth brother and his family are united, and the friendship between brothers and sisters is what makes me happy."
Ye Xingxian also agreed with Ye Aotian's words.
"Why are you so reserved, Eighth Brother? Isn't it normal for elder brothers to help their younger brothers?"
Xiao Xi also expressed her opinion.
"Myna is just overthinking. This time Ye Yi to Ye Jiu have all been arrested, and you killed Ye Bingkun to vent your anger and get your revenge.
Now it's just that the ancestor hasn't been found yet. I believe that no matter where he hides, as long as we brothers and sisters join forces, he will eventually surface. I don't believe he will hide for a lifetime?"
Xiao Xi's words gave Ye Xingxian some inspiration.
"By the way, Xiaoxi, instead of us not being able to find the whereabouts of the ancestor, we might as well investigate from the source, and we can start with the current head of the family."
"Yes, Fifth Brother, Eighth Brother and I will go find Ye Shiming today. Don't worry, Fifth Brother, we can handle this kind of thing."
In this way, Ye Aotian and Ye Xingxian left the capital at the same time. They were indeed quite relieved about Xiaoxi.
Ye Xingxian also said that if Xiaoxi has anything she can't handle, she should contact him in time.
The two siblings have a special way of communicating. If Xiaoxi encounters any difficulties, Ye Xingxian will come to her as soon as possible.
Xiao Xi and Ye Lingfeng saw their eldest brother and fifth brother off, and they moved out of their eldest brother's palace.
The palace was too big and her eldest brother was not at home, so Xiao Xi followed her fifth brother's suggestion and moved back to her own courtyard.
Ye Xingxian said that in the two courtyards of Xiaoxi and his third brother, there were people like Song Bo who he had left behind.
Uncle Song is the fifth brother's right-hand man. He has high cultivation skills and it is a waste of his talent for him to be the steward of the Siheyuan.
And those servants and others are all Fifth Brother's people. Now that Xiaoxi has moved back to the courtyard and Ye Xingxian is not in the capital, he feels more at ease.
Ye Cheng and most of his cousins rented houses in various places in the capital to find out the news about their ancestor.
Ye Cheng believes that everyone has been out of touch with society since childhood, and that taking the opportunity to explore their ancestors and mingle in the market is equivalent to integrating into society, which will lead to better growth.
In fact, they now have enough money to buy a house in Beijing, but they just feel it is unnecessary.
When Xiaoxi and Ye Lingfeng return to Shencheng, they will have to follow them and can buy a house in Shencheng.
Xiaoxi and Ye Lingfeng went to the master's villa.
As a result, the villa is now almost empty and no one lives there because a murder happened here not long ago.
Perhaps Ye Shiming's family felt that so many people had died in the villa and they didn't dare to live there anymore.
Xiao Xi asked the people guarding the villa where their master had moved to, but they kept their mouths shut and looked at them warily.
Xiao Xi found it funny. If she really wanted to find out where Ye Shiming lived now, wouldn’t it be easy?
It’s getting late now, so let’s go back to the courtyard and check tomorrow.
The brother and sister returned to Siheyuan Street in the urban area, which is equivalent to an alternative style wealthy area. The street view is beautiful under the night sky.
Ye Lingfeng suggested: "Xiao Xi, let's walk back slowly and enjoy the beautiful scenery first."
"Myna, now that I have taken my revenge, my mood has changed. I even have the leisure to appreciate the street scene."
Xiao Xi could understand, and felt a little sorry for her mynah bird. The mynah bird had been thoughtful since childhood and had not had much contact with society.
Even though I escaped from the killer's manor later, I was mainly abroad. Now is the time to experience life.
So Xiaoxi accompanied Ye Lingfeng for a walk.
The ancient courtyard streets of Beijing when night falls are like a historical painting.
The ancient buildings seem to be telling stories of the past.
The vermilion doors of every household with carved beams and painted rafters demonstrate the unique charm of traditional architecture.
Along the courtyard wall, you can also see the green trees in the courtyard, giving people a feeling of tranquility and peace.
But suddenly the sound of a child crying broke the silence.
This made Xiaoxi feel a little strange.
There are few pedestrians in this neighborhood. Every household drives back to the yard and closes their doors. Most of them don't go out for a walk. How could a child run out?
Xiao Xi and her friends followed the direction of the child's crying and saw a little boy of about four or five years old sitting on the ground at the corner of a courtyard wall.
The clothes he was wearing looked very expensive, and he was carrying a branded backpack.
He kept rubbing his eyes with his little hands, trying to stop the tears. The crystal tears rolled down his cheeks like pearls that had broken off the string.
His lips were trembling slightly, and he kept making gasping sounds, and his little body was shaking because of crying.
His big eyes turned red at this moment, filled with grievance and sadness.
Perhaps because he was too sad, his crying became louder and louder.
Xiao Xi has never liked naughty kids, but the look of this child made Ye Lingfeng feel pity for him.
Ye Lingfeng walked over to comfort the child, and Xiao Xi did not stop him.
She remembered that Ye Lingfeng had taken in Chen Jiadong and brought him back to Shencheng.
It must be because of his own unfortunate childhood that he felt sympathy and concern for the poor little boy.
Ye Lingfeng patted the little boy's back gently.
"Little brother, why are you out here alone? Where is your home? Are you lost?"
When the little boy saw that Ye Lingfeng really cared about him, he let down his guard.
"Brother, I don't want to go home, I ran away from home.
My mother went back to my grandparents' house because she was sick. My father has become very mean and he doesn't play with me anymore.
I didn’t want to live in this courtyard, and my father wouldn’t let me go out to play, so I ran away from home because I was unhappy!”
Xiao Xi complained in her heart, "What's the sad thing about him? He is really an ignorant kid. He ran away like this. I wonder how worried his father is?"
At this time, Ye Lingfeng asked: "Little brother, if you run out like this, your father will definitely look for you everywhere. What's your name?"
"Big brother, my father won't look for me. Why don't you take me back to your home? My name is Ye Jiayang."
What? His last name is also Ye. Xiao Xi and Ye Lingfeng looked at each other.
Xiao Xi asked: "Do you know Ye Jiahao?"
