Chapter 52: The Smell That Can't Be Concealed
In the hallway, the scene of an old man and a young man standing by the window and smoking a cigarette looks a little funny, like two old smokers hiding together to enjoy the fun of smoking.
Looking out the window, Zhang Xingzhou took a puff of cigarette, coughed lightly, and said, "My old man has seen everything he should have seen in his life, and he is not afraid of death." ”
Yang Chen took a deep puff of cigarette and said lightly, "Are you afraid of unrest after death?"
Zhang Xingzhou's face changed, then he recovered again, and said with a light smile: "Why did the little brother say this?"
"You know that. Yang Chen looked out the window and thought of the past, a thrilling journey in the underground world.
"I really don't understand!" Zhang Xingzhou restrained his smile and stared at Yang Chen with a serious face, although he was very calm, his slightly trembling hand holding the cigarette betrayed him.
Yang Chen sighed, "Did you get tuberculosis back then? I'm afraid it's not? Maybe you haven't gone down for many years, but the smell on your body really can't be dissipated, and the faint corpse smell emitted from your breath can't be hidden!"
Zhang Xingzhou's face changed greatly.
At that time, he did rely on his own craftsmanship to dig out the wealth from the ground and create his current status. But because of this, I fell into a problem and crawled out of the ghost gate every time. After tossing and turning a few times, he couldn't bear the pressure anymore, so he chose to wash his hands in the golden basin.
Even so, he would often have nightmares about being dragged back underground by the ancients he had disturbed.
Moreover, although there is a scientific way to explain the problem of this body, and there are corresponding symptoms, it has not been treated well, and he suspected it early on, and it was related to what he had done at the beginning.
"You...... How do you know?" Zhang Xingzhou looked shocked and panicked. This is something he will never forget for the rest of his life, and it is also a sin that will not be erased for the rest of his life. Yang is good, but yin is difficult to make up!
Therefore, he has five sons under his knees, and now there are only three left, and they all feel that this is retribution.
He ate fasting and recited the Buddha and burned incense every day in order to forget that experience.
If it weren't for Yang Chen mentioning it, he would never have recalled the past for the rest of his life.
But Yang Chen's words broke through the psychological wall he had built.
Yang Chen finished his last cigarette, threw it into the trash, and said, "When I was on a mission before, I happened to enter a big tomb!"
"That ......" Zhang Xingzhou, who has been shrewd and calm all his life, was in a mess in front of a young man, and his thoughts were confused.
"But don't worry, I can cure your illness!" Yang Chen said lightly.
Old Man Zhang raised his head abruptly and looked at Yang Chen in surprise.
Yang Chen smiled slightly: "Old man Zhang, in fact, I don't have to say these words, and I don't have to tell you, and it is even possible to hide from the troubles that may arise in the future." But I still said it, and my bluntness to you is also to tell you that I especially believe in the saying that the Great Dao of the Heavens, good and evil are rewarded. If you do something that damages yin morality, you have to make up for it, otherwise, it will not be good for your children and grandchildren. ”
Zhang Xingzhou thought of his son Zhang Qishan, as well as the two grandsons who died young, the two sons who were killed at a young age, the wife who showed a frightened look on her deathbed, and the grandson Zhang Shaoting, who is now not angry.
Everything was like a curse, which made it difficult for him to get rid of it, and it was also a boulder in his heart all along.
"Then what should I do?" Zhang Xingzhou hurriedly asked.
Yang Chen shook his head with a smile, "Old man, you shouldn't ask me this." ”
Zhang Xingzhou fell into deep thought.
For a long time, Zhang Xingzhou bowed deeply to Yang Chen.
Yang Chen hurriedly helped the old man and didn't let him bow.
Zhang Xingzhou said: "Little brother, no matter what, thank you!"
Yang Chen nodded, "Let's go, old man, I'll treat you." ”
When they came back, they saw Wei Xueqing and Zhang Qishan arguing together, and they were arguing with each other.
Qin Muyun blinked and looked at the two of them in surprise.
It was the first time he had seen Wei Xueqing's strong and sharp side, and it was not an exaggeration to call it a sword of words, every sentence was sharp, the words were rigorous, and he did not give in every step.
Zhang Qishan seemed to be calmer, in the face of Wei Xueqing's step-by-step pressure, he did not move at all, did not retreat half a step, and adhered to his principles.
Zhang Xingzhou looked at Wei Xueqing and said to Wei Qingzhong with a smile: "Xiao Wei, you are a good girl, you don't let you shave your eyebrows, but you are many times stronger than my grandson!"
Wei Qingzhong hurriedly said: "That's because Shaoting hasn't started to exert his strength yet, he has listened to you and Zhang Qishan's teachings since he was a child, and his achievements will definitely not be low in the future." ”
Although he said so, he was still very happy in his heart. After all, in his opinion, her daughter is the best, and no one can compare.
Zhang Qishan saw Zhang Xingzhou and Yang Chen coming back, so he said: "Xueqing, let's talk about it another day, I'm still more interested in this project, and it's important to treat the old man first." ”
Wei Xueqing nodded, when it came to this point today, she was already very satisfied. After all, she couldn't even see Zhang Qishan's face before.
Wei Qingzhong said to Zhang Xingzhou: "Old man, I have a lounge inside, go there." ”
Zhang Xingzhou nodded and looked at Yang Chen.
Yang Chen said: "Let me see your legs first." ”
Zhang Xingzhou didn't say a word, bent down and lifted his trouser leg for Yang Chen to see.
I saw that after the trouser leg was lifted, the blood vessels on Zhang Xingzhou's legs burst out, like thick earthworms entangled together, which looked extremely terrifying.
Wei Xueqing was startled and covered her mouth.
Yang Chen frowned and said, "I need some silver needles, as well as gua sha stones, which are made of horns." ”
"Okay! I'll arrange it right away!" Zhang Qishan nodded, turned around and went out.
"Let's go inside. Yang Chen said to Zhang Xingzhou.
Zhang Xingzhou nodded and followed Wei Qingzhong towards the lounge.
Wei Xueqing also wanted to follow, but was stopped by Yang Chen, "You don't want to go in." ”
"Why?" Wei Xueqing asked with a slight frown, staring at Yang Chen.
Yang Chen looked at Wei Xueqing and said, "Because it's inconvenient!"
Wei Xueqing thought about it, thinking that Yang Chen wanted to use a silver needle, so she might need to take off her clothes, and it was really inconvenient for her to go in.
"Okay then, hurry up, I have other jobs!" Wei Xueqing didn't realize that her thinking had already been in line with Yang Chen. She didn't want to delay her time and go back to work right away, but waited here for them to heal.
Yang Chen nodded, "I'll do it as soon as possible!"
After speaking, Yang Chen turned around and walked in.
Entering the house, Yang Chen said to Zhang Xingzhou: "Old man, take off your clothes, chairman, do you have any strong liquor here?" The higher the degree, the better. ”
"Yes, I still have a bottle of fine Moutai!" Wei Qingzhong said.
Yang Chen shook his head, "I just need strong wine." ”
Wei Qingzhong thought for a while and said, "Then I still have half a catty of wine here." ”
"Yes!" Yang Chen nodded.
