Wei Lai looked deep, concentrated, inhaled, and then stretched out his hand and pushed the door open.

In the door, the old man had already stood up, with his back bent, standing between the bookshelf and the desk and staring at Wei Lai with a smile.

"It's coming. The old man said.

"Hmm. Wei Lai nodded, and his response was a little dull.

The old man was surprisingly at a loss, he was stunned on the spot, and after a few breaths, he asked again, "Have you eaten......?"

The old man's proposal seemed a little abrupt and illogical, like a child who gave kindness but didn't know what to do.

"No, I don't. Wei Lai still resolutely rejected this kindness, not because he was intentionally embarrassed, but because of the rustiness accumulated over the years, he instinctively and even subconsciously rejected the old man's overtures. And such unthinking words also made Wei Lai secretly a little annoyed after he spoke. The clumsiness in the impression of the old man in different fields, but also the compassion that suddenly rose in his heart.

The interrupted old man was stunned again, and only nodded after a while: "It's okay." ”

After saying this, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the wooden chair beside him, and said, "Sit down." ”

Wei Lai sat down as he said, and the old man slowly took a pot of tea from his desk, came to Wei Lai, poured a cup for him, and sat down next to Wei Lai, and said in his mouth: "Snow comes to spring, a tea tree produced in the eastern part of the northern border." In my early years, I was lucky enough to get a few plants, so I transplanted them in Tifu. However, the climate of Yandi is finally very different from that of the eastern part of the northern border, and only one of the few plants survives in the end. This is a rare and good tea in Yandi, and three hundred taels and one taels have been bought on the market. Your mother's temperament is jumpy, and she never likes to read and drink tea, but after marrying your father, she suddenly changed her temperament, and from time to time she asked me for this tea. ”

At this the old man paused, he looked ahead, and some kind of deep color seemed to flash in his cloudy eyes. He also poured himself a cup of tea, put it to his lips and took a sip, and then said: "Later, I learned that it was your father who was too fond of sponsoring others and was not good at managing the family's belongings, which caused the family to make ends meet." What about your mother? She is the one who scolds your father the most, but she is also the one who feels sorry for your father the most. ”

"Xue Laichun was taken away by her for various reasons, sold the money, and secretly helped your father fill the hole. ”

"It was also six years ago that happened, my snow came to spring without your mother's scourge, and I had the opportunity to drink the best in the world again, old man. As he spoke, the old man took another sip of tea, his lips and teeth squirmed, and he looked like he enjoyed it with endless aftertaste.

If Jiang Huanshui said such a thing a few years ago, Wei Lai would have been furious, and he would have smashed the bowl and lifted the table on the spot, and then pointed at Jiang Huanshui's nose and scolded: "Is my father's life still worse than one of your tea trees?"

But now Wei Lai has experienced some life and death, and he has seen many people and things that he has never seen before, and he can more or less hear some of the vague but rich thoughts in Jiang Huanshui's words.

"They are buried on the hill west of Wupan City, and if you really miss it, you can take the time to see it. Wei Lai said in a low voice, probably because his voice was too low by him, and it was difficult to judge the mood of the young man at this moment for a while.

When the old man heard this, he was rarely stunned. But he didn't respond to Wei Lai's question, but asked a little strangely: "Why are you suddenly willing to let me see them?"

Wei Lai shrugged his shoulders: "You said it yourself, my father is kind-hearted, my mother is soft-hearted, no matter how much I don't like you, but I guess they should have forgiven you." It was their own resting place, and if they didn't mind, then of course I didn't mind being a son. ”

Speaking of this, Wei Lai paused again and added, "Of course, I'm just referring to the matter of looking at them. ”

Jiang Huanshui smiled, and that smile touched the wrinkled skin on his face, like a broken grapefruit peel, which was not good-looking.

Then, he suddenly stood up: "You came here for the sake of the mountains and rivers, right?"

Wei Lai didn't think that his little caution could hide Jiang Huanshui, who had been up and down in Dayan officialdom for nearly sixty years, so he simply asked straight to the point: "I don't understand, why are you doing this?"

"Before I answer that question, you have to tell me why you care about it. Jiang Huanshui asked.

Wei Lai frowned, puzzled, "What do you mean?"

"With your cultivation, it is not difficult to squeeze into the top three hundred of this Hanxing Conference, and the opening of the Mountains and Rivers Diagram Cave should be a chance for you. What is your position to worry about this?" Jiang Huanshui asked with an eyebrow raised.

"As soon as the mountain and river map comes out, Ningzhou's luck will be ......" Wei Lai's brows furrowed even deeper, he was a little annoyed by the old man's pretending to be confused, probably because of this, his voice was a little louder at that time.

But he was interrupted by Jiang Huanshui halfway through his words.

"Ningzhou's luck will be plundered, and in this way, if the snake in the Wupan River wants to ascend to the position of Zhaoyue Zhengshen, the plan to transform into a dragon will continue to be delayed, is there anything wrong with this?" Jiang Huanshui said this, and looked at Wei Lai with a smile again.

Wei Lai's face sank: "If you become an evil dragon, you can slaughter the evil dragon, but if you change someone to be the evil dragon, what is the point?"

"Who taught you this?"

"The little marquis of the Yu family, or the two of Tiangang Mountain?" or ......" Jiang Huanshui said, with an inexplicable smile on his face: "Or is it the former Yin God?"

Wei Lai's heart was shocked, although after seeing the powerful intelligence ability of the Dark Sky Army that day, Wei Lai vaguely felt that his situation in Wupan City over the years was probably very likely to be known by the old man in front of him in some way that he couldn't even know, but when the old man spit out these words, Wei Lai's heart still couldn't help but be shocked and ...... Anger swelled up.

But he still forced himself to calm down, and then looked at the old man as calmly as he could, and said, "If you know everything, then why did you watch them die six years ago, even if you told me, now they will not be lying in a mound where their names cannot even be engraved!"

Before coming, Wei Lai secretly told himself more than once in his heart that he should not dwell more on past matters, his father and mother were dead, and no matter how much he said, he could not change this fact, and since he could not change this fact, it was meaningless for Wei Lai to do anything.

But alas, as with most things in this world.

Truth is always easy to say, but extremely difficult to do.

Of course, he would not forgive his grandfather for watching from the wall six years ago, watching his daughter and son-in-law in the distant city of Wupan. But he can speculate that perhaps his grandfather had some unavoidable reasons at the time, such as that he did not know about it, and that he only knew it too late......

But now, the old man's simple words have revealed enough information. He had the ability to know everything that had happened in Wupan City, thousands of miles away, in a way that Wei Lai couldn't know. Then why didn't he try to do something, even if he had told him, maybe his father and mother wouldn't be lying in that mound now.

And the flood six years ago will not be a nightmare that makes him toss and turn and can't sleep every late night after Wei Lai.

Even, at this time, Wei Lai realized that he knocked on the door of the state patriarch's mansion with unexpressed anger, in fact, because he had never come out of the resentment against the person in front of him - he had also asked Lu Guanshan why his grandfather had done nothing about it. The man was vague in the face of this question, but said that there were some things that could not be reached by manpower, and the master also had the difficulties of the master.

Wei Lai subconsciously blamed Jiang Huanshui for perhaps taking care of the overall situation, after all, even if he resented him, Wei Lai did not want to completely classify his grandfather as a villain like those who fed on human life.

But today, when Jiang Huanshui was so contemptuously at Yuan Zhichun's request to open the mountain and river map, Wei Lai's last illusion about Jiang Huanshui also collapsed, so he came here at this moment.

Jiang Huanshui's eyes were so vicious, the moment Wei Lai asked these words, the old man was aware, he stared at Wei Lai, and said slowly: "So, this is the real purpose of your visit, right?"

"That's my father, can't I ask?" Wei Lai simply let out, and his voice became a little louder at that time.

"Absolutely. The expression on the old man's face also became solemn: "But you can't get the answer you want." ”

Wei Lai's face was full of confusion: "What do you mean?"

"You have already thought of the answer in your heart, you also hate me, but you don't want to hate like this, you are in some kind of complicated torment. ”

"So you're here to get an answer from my mouth. An answer that will either allow you to let go of your hatred, or that will allow you to continue to hate me without any guilt. Jiang Huanshui said unhurriedly, his eyes once again focused on Wei Lai. There was a kind of light in the narrowed eyes, as if to see Wei through.

"No......" Wei Lai subconsciously wanted to refute, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by the old man.

"But things in the world are never simply white or black, I can indeed save them, whether it is your father or Lu Guanshan. ”

"But the price was too great for me to bear, and neither could they. So ......"

"I'm not as ruthless as you think, but I'm not as forced as you think......"

"I'm just a confused old man who hesitated and missed the opportunity to save his daughter and son-in-law. ”

"That's all. ”
