Chapter 82
Fang Zixuan pushed open the hidden door, but met two unexpected people outside the door.
"Hello Grandpa Zhou, good uncle." She paused, nodded calmly.
Zhang Qi, who was with Mr. Zhou, looked at her with a shocked face, although she has been keeping to herself in the past few years, no longer going out of her way to fool around, and even took the first place in the city, but no matter how her father praised her, her rude and bad image is still rooted in his heart, even if time passes, it can't be changed, a person can change the skin, how can he change the things in his bones?
But he never thought that such a shallow girl would have such a splendid talent, even he stood outside the door and listened to it with relish, the classical Chinese is very profound, the truth is very simple, these years of Chinese studies have been very popular, he has also read a lot of books on these aspects, no one can explain the truth clearly and clearly in such a simple way, and it can be easily accepted in daily life.
"Zixuan knows Mr. Chen Shushi?" Old Man Zhou's words easily shattered Fang Zixuan's calmness.
From the first time he saw her, he felt that she had a familiar temperament, and with each contact, this feeling became stronger and stronger, this temperament can never be cultivated overnight, only from a real scholarly family and decades of skills can be had.
How many people in the world today can have such a gentlemanly style?
Fang Zixuan was silent for a few seconds, but still nodded, although Zhang Qi didn't see the remembrance and sadness on his face, it all fell in the eyes of Old Man Zhou, Fang Zixuan is a silent and introverted person, and rarely reveals his emotions. It's rare to have such a subtle change in your eyes.
"Who is Chen Shushi?" Zhang Qi muttered a little blankly, he was not a lonely person, but he had really never heard of this name.
"You have such a chance! Everything you've learned in your life has been inherited from Mr. Soseki? did not answer his question, Old Man Zhou's face also had a sigh, even envy, Chen Shushi and him for a few days, has benefited him a lot in his life, and listening to what she just taught Fang Zipeng shows that she has a solid foundation, and it is by no means something that can be practiced overnight, and the way she speaks is similar to Chen Shushi's style. The views are almost identical. Some of these theories have even disappeared, and no one talks about them anymore, and if it weren't for that moment of blessing to the soul, he would not have had such bold speculations.
"Not exactly." She was honest. Grandpa died early after all. In addition to teaching her the way of self-cultivation. She was not supervised in her studies.
"Where is Mr. Soseki now? You're going to visit him with me tomorrow!" Old Man Zhou was excited, thinking that he should be long gone, but since he was able to associate with a little girl like Fang Zixuan. It shows that he has been in good health all these years.
"He died, five years ago in a fire in the shack area of the Pearl District, and he was burned to death in the house with his granddaughter." Although her voice was still calm, there was still a trace of forbearance and sadness on her face.
Compared with the time and space before her, there have been too many changes in this time and space, and after coming to this world realm, she has always had doubts, does this time and space exist or not? Isn't it still the original soul?
Driven by curiosity, she secretly looked for her past self, a few years ago her original home was destroyed in a fire, Chen Shushi, who was paralyzed in bed, did not escape, and Chen Zheng stayed in the house in order to save his grandfather, the beam of the most ugly wooden house was fell, and the grandfather and grandson died together, which also made the headlines of the J City newspaper.
When she came to this plane, the shack area had long been demolished, and there was no trace of her life at that time.
In her previous life, there was no such fire, her grandfather died of illness, and she died in a car accident after going to school and working properly.
Old Man Zhou looked shocked, "He, how can he live in the shack area?" ”
Although Chen Shushi was once defeated and tortured by humiliation, but as a generation of masters, he enjoyed a very high reputation at the time, and was a national treasure-level master and scholar, and after his rehabilitation, he was given much higher treatment than Zhao Wenpu, but late one night, he moved his family away without warning, and simply cut off contact with the past, and even out of respect for him, his students did not dare to look for him with great fanfare, and as time passed, the clues gradually broke off.
When the old man Zhou went through twists and turns, he used to work with Chen Shushi, the old man's wisdom and frank and indifferent gentleman's style left a deep imprint in his heart, although the two were equals, but in his heart he has always regarded Chen Shushi as a good teacher, at first hearing the bad news, how could he not be emotional?
It is not surprising that Chen Shushi has passed away at his age, but it is unacceptable to die in such a tragic way, and this is still in S Province, within the scope of his power, it is impossible to let such a treasure-level person live so aggrieved and die so miserably, it is impossible not to feel guilty.
Fang Zixuan lowered his head and did not answer, his grandfather resolutely broke off contact with the past, which was a kind of self-exile and punishment in itself, he was extremely strict with himself and his family, he was a man and did things frankly, but he suffered innocently, he was originally born in a famous family during that period of time, he lost the most important dignity in his life, and then he could not calmly face his daughter, who was willing to fall, and the long-term torture had destroyed his faith.
He began to stop believing in himself, and at last he would rather live a difficult life than let his protégé know such an ugly thing, and his pursuit of moral perfection had reached the point of being incredibly paranoid.
At that time, she was young and didn't think it, but now that she thinks about it and combines it with some historical materials she found later, she is almost certain that the physical and mental destruction of his body and spirit in those years has made him a little insane, and since she can remember, the way he looks at her has been sometimes sober, sometimes crazy, sometimes guilty, sometimes harsh, moody, and many times even he can't control himself.
Several times she heard the old man in his sleep suddenly blushing and shouting, "I am not guilty! I'm not guilty! When she stepped forward to wake him up in a panic, the old man's eyes were dazed and panicked, and he kept muttering, "I'm wrong, I'm wrong, Chen Yu, Chen Yu, I didn't teach you well......"
Many of his behaviors were very different from what he taught her, especially the phrase he often repeated in his later years, "Death by starvation is a small matter, and loss of temperance is a big matter", and I don't know whether Lu Dao said it to himself, to her mother, or to her.
Not only Fang Zixuan was distracted, but Old Man Zhou was also absent-minded, he didn't expect Fang Zixuan to know the answer to a little girl, in his opinion, this little girl just met Chen Shushi by chance, and she definitely didn't know anything about what happened back then.
"It's rare that he still has your year-old friend, do you know where Mr. Chen Shushi is buried? Take me to worship him. Old Man Zhou sighed.
"The ashes are deposited at the J City Crematorium." She whispered.
Old Man Zhou took a deep breath, didn't he even have a place to be buried, "What about his family?" ”
"They're all gone."
"I know it, thank you, little girl." The depressed old man Zhou had no idea what kind of chance Fang Zixuan met Chen Shushi, and turned around and left with a gloomy expression.
"Grandpa Zhou, please do me a favor, he didn't want to see his old man when he was alive, so don't disturb his peace." Fang Zixuan whispered.
"Do you know what you're talking about?" Old Man Zhou paused suddenly, and looked at her very sharply.
"Zixuan, don't be rude." Under the momentum of Old Man Zhou, even Zhang Qi was a little stunned.
Fang Zixuan was silent for a few seconds, "Ask Grandpa Zhou to fulfill it." ”
"Why? I'm not an unreasonable person, but tell me what to do? No one has just confronted him in front of him for so many years, and Old Man Zhou laughed angrily.
It's not that she didn't want to let her grandfather go into the ground, in fact, since the day she knew the road, she has been planning silently, she has a lot of money in her hands, but if her grandfather is in the heavenly spirit and she uses the money of the Fang family or the Zhang family, I am afraid that she would rather have no place to be buried, and she will never feel at ease, so she must use the money she earned to bury her grandfather's family together, even if it is the old man Zhou standing in front of her, she will never back down.
"With Grandpa Zhou, he still has some respect for his old man." Fang Zixuan said stubbornly.
"Oh? Then I have a good intention to bury the old man in peace, but it is disrespectful to him? ”
"If he was willing to accept the kindness at the beginning, he would not have ended up like this, I dare to guess that Grandpa Zhou still understands him as a person."
"Zixuan, do you know who you're talking to?" Zhang Qi said sharply, he thought that this niece had changed her ways, but she didn't expect to be so bold and reckless to contradict her elders.
"Grandpa Zhou, I'm sorry, please give me a chance." Fang Zixuan lowered her face, so that people couldn't see her expression, but there was hopeless sadness in her voice.
For the first time, she felt powerless, taking care of her grandfather's funeral was originally what she, a granddaughter, should do, but now her identity is no longer Chen Zheng, even if she wants to do her best for her grandfather, it has become so difficult.
Old man Zhou has calmed down at this time, he has known Fang Zixuan for more than two years, although he has not had much contact, he also knows that this little girl has always been indifferent and indifferent, and what can make her so persistent must be for a reason, and then think of her temperament and temperament similar to Chen Shushi, I am afraid that the relationship between the two is not shallow, sometimes he is kind, but he may not be accepted, and then think about Chen Shushi's temper, he sighed secretly.
"I just want to do my best for Elder Chen, since you have already said this part, no matter what I do, it will add to the snake, if you have any difficulties in the future, just ask." Old Man Zhou's Qi cultivation kung fu is good in the end. (To be continued......)
