Chapter 25: Ancestral Letters

Before I begin, I think it's important to talk about my life background.

In August 06, I just passed my 23rd birthday, at that time I had graduated from college less than a year ago, and I wandered around the house for a few months.

It's a pity that I didn't stay in the unit for long, and I had the Divine Devouring Gu incident, because of the haste of the incident, I didn't have time to ask for leave from the organization, so when I returned, I learned that I had been removed from the unit.

My mother was very upset because of this incident, and she didn't come to pick me up at the long-distance station. At that time, I was still young, I was in a mess all day long, I lost a stable job, and I was not in a hurry, and after giving the salute to my father, I began to inquire about the situation of my second uncle.

Dad took two puffs of stuffy cigarettes, saying that the second uncle had recovered, but he didn't like to talk very much, and stayed in the hospital all day, thinking about something, asking him and refusing to say anything, as if he had become more withdrawn.

After listening to this, I began to worry about the situation of the second uncle, and instead of following my father home immediately, I proposed to talk to the second uncle.

My father agreed, and on the afternoon of returning to Yunkai City, he took me to the place where my second uncle was hospitalized.

After a few days of recovery, the second uncle's complexion has partially improved, but his face is still ugly, when I pushed the door in, the second uncle was sitting on the hospital bed, facing the windowsill, with a worried face totaling something, he thought about it so seriously that he didn't want to think that my father and I had already entered.

It wasn't until the old uncle walked behind him, stretched out his hand, patted the second uncle on the shoulder, and muttered in a low voice, "Second brother, what are you thinking?" The second uncle was excited, turned around, looked at his father first, then glanced at his sight, and saw me again, his mouth was relieved, waved his hand to me, and said Lin Feng, you come here.

I respect my second uncle very much, and when I saw him calling me, I hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed my second uncle's right hand, and asked him what was wrong?

The second uncle didn't say anything, looked at his father standing outside the hospital bed, and coughed, "Boss, you go out for a while first, Lin Feng and I still have something to talk about." ”

My dad was not very happy, and muttered that the family was not going to be a good thing, and that he still had to hide something to say. The second uncle just smiled, but his attitude was very persistent.

Dad couldn't resist him, turned around and left.

As soon as the door of the ward was closed, the second uncle put his hand on my pulse and told me not to move! Then he closed his eyes and calmly sensed for a long time, and after a long time, he opened his eyelids slightly, looked at me with an extremely complicated expression, opened his mouth, and wanted to speak several times, but he didn't know where to start.

I rarely saw such a tangled expression on the second uncle's face, so I looked at him cautiously and said Second uncle, what the hell is wrong, is it the God Devouring Gu in my body, what changes have occurred?

The second uncle just looked at me distractedly, and then shook his head, "It's fine, it's settled now, you don't have to worry about it continuing to toss you in the future." ”

"Oh......" I wiped my sweat, my heart was brisk for a while, and I looked at my second uncle again, still looking like I wanted to say something, and couldn't help but say, "Second uncle, what the hell is going on, can't you say it quickly?"

The second uncle sighed and said with a heavy face, "I made a mistake. ”

I hurriedly said, "What's wrong?"

The second uncle continued to look at me with complicated eyes, and asked me in a slow tone, asking me if I knew what the ancestors of the Lin family did?

I was at a loss, and said I don't know, didn't our ancestors strike iron? The second uncle began to laugh, saying that the old man made up nonsense casually, I didn't expect you to believe it for more than 20 years.

My face was full of bitterness, and I said why, why did my grandfather lie to me? The second uncle didn't say a word, put his hand on my head, and slapped it a few times.

He seemed to have something unspeakable, all of which he held in his stomach, obviously wanted to find someone to talk to, but he didn't know where to start, he held it for a long time, and then sighed and said, "You, you, the Lin family has been passed down to the present, you are the only seedling, your second uncle I can't give birth to a son, the old man pins all his hopes on you, he wants you to be an ordinary person, who knows that you want to die, I ...... Hey!"

At the end, the second uncle let out a long sigh.

I was full of doubts, and said Second Uncle, what are you talking nonsense, who said that you can't give birth to a son? You have never been married, how can you know if you don't find an aunt to try?

"Little bastard!" the second uncle scolded me with a smile, and asked me again, did you have cigarettes on you?

I hurriedly handed over a box, and told my second uncle, saying that you are still in the hospital, save some. The second uncle lit the cigarette, took a deep puff, and slowly puffed out the smoke ring and said,

"It's not that I can't have sons, but no matter how many sons I have, in the end, you are the only one who can survive in the Lin family!"

I was startled and said, why?

The second uncle put the cigarette in his mouth, looked out the window distractedly, and said numbly for a long time, "Because of a curse, the Lin family should have been extinct when it came to my generation, and it was your grandfather who spent a lot of money to ensure that you were born smoothly. ”

I was at a loss and said that there was still such a thing, how could I not know?

The second uncle smiled again, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and said old things, don't mention it, let's go, help me back to the old house, I have something to give you!

As he spoke, he pulled it casually, threw the hospital gown on the ground, and was about to stand up again.

I hurriedly helped the second uncle and said what kind of trouble are you making here, your health is not good, let's continue to raise it in the hospital?

The second uncle glared at me and said that you know an egg! The second uncle's body cannot be raised by the hospital, and if he wants to recover, he must return to the "sixth district".

I scolded him, but I didn't dare to talk back, so I could only hold my second uncle bitterly and accompany him back to the old house.

After entering the old house, the second uncle asked me to carry him, walked into my grandfather's previous study, and took out a small wooden box from the cabinet in the study, handed it to me, and said you can open it.

With the incident of God Devouring Gu, I now have a psychological shadow on everything such as the box, holding the wooden box, I am very resistant, and I asked the second uncle what is in this box, should there be something popping out again?

The second uncle scolded me, "Breath!" After speaking, he snatched the wooden box from my hand, twisted the lock, lifted the lid on the wooden box, and took out two yellowed old booklets from inside.

These two booklets, each with its own title, one booklet is printed with six gilded characters of "Great Freedom in Meditation", and the other is written with five characters of "Taishang Dengyin Decision" in a small seal, and the two booklets are piled up and are as thick as bricks.

The second uncle solemnly handed these two books into my hands, and said matter-of-factly, "These two books were left by the ancestors of the Lin family, and your grandfather wanted to burn them back then, but for you, they were still kept." ”

Listening to the meaning of the second uncle, these two books were specially left for me by the ancestors of the Lin family.
