Chapter 62: The Last Stand

The Zijin knife is actually a traditional razor, commonly known as the earth knife, which has been passed down from the grandfather generation to the present, and this knife together with the Zijin scissors has created the legendary reputation of the Shangguan family as "one less knife".

The razor rubs back and forth against the whetstone, becoming more and more sharp. Shangguan Yu soaked it in clear water and held it ten centimeters away from him, and the narrow knife surface immediately reflected the bloodshot eyes.

Thinking all night, he made up his mind.

Wiped the knife clean, put it in a handmade cowhide waist cover, and walked to the closet and opened the wooden door, revealing a tablet.

He lit three sticks of incense and carefully inserted it into the incense burner, and the purple smoke rose and fell in the closet, and soon spread. Then, he folded his hands and bowed to the tablet three times, and when he looked up again, he saw tears in his eyes.

"Luoluo, Dad has waited so long, and finally looked forward to this day. Do you think Dad forgot? No way, Dad lives to avenge you. When I have taken revenge, I will come down to you. ”

He wiped away his cloudy tears and continued in a choked voice.

"If you're still alive, you should be married now, maybe you've given birth to a big fat boy who calls me grandpa all day long. Do you remember when you were a child, your father shaved people's heads, and you circled around your father? You think that the purple gold knife and purple gold scissors are amazing, you can cut off your hair with a light touch, and you want to touch it several times, but your father doesn't allow it, lying to you that they can not only break hair, but also break wood, iron and gold, and even hurt people's lives. You were scared, and you haven't asked half a sentence since. The Shangguan family has ancestral training, and the person who holds the knife must be an adult male in the family, and he must be resolute, resolute, courageous and resourceful. Dad regretted dying, if you were allowed to touch it, let you know what is dangerous, what is something that can kill, maybe you will know how to resist in the face of evil...... Hey, the purple gold knife is the heirloom of the Shangguan family, but Dad only has such a treasure as you but lost you. Luoluo, if you have a spirit in the sky, you will definitely bless Dad, if your long-cherished wish is fulfilled, Dad will have no regrets in this life. Luoluo, help me. ”

Facing the spirit card, he burst into tears, and the tears did not moisten the wrinkles on his cheeks, but added a sense of vicissitudes and loneliness.

With a sound of kicking and tapping, the apprentice ran up.

"Master, Mr. He is here, answer the phone outside the door."

"Why is it so early, isn't it about three o'clock?" Shangguan Yu closed the closet, asked in wonder, and then straightened his clothes in front of the mirror, and went downstairs with his apprentice.

The hall on the first floor had been cleared half an hour earlier, and two bodyguards were standing on either side of the door, looking out between them, and two bodyguards were standing with their backs to the door. He Zhanting answered the phone on the street, and the housekeeper Qin Luo had a parasol in his left hand and a fan for him with his right hand.

Shangguan Yu found that the utensils on the operating table were a little messy, and asked the apprentice to collect them.

At this time, He Zhanting came in after finishing the phone, Qin Luo followed closely, and when he entered the door, he forgot to put away his umbrella, the umbrella cover was stuck by the door, and he stumbled under his feet.

"Tell you not to play an umbrella, don't play an umbrella, you play partially, like an old lady."

"Madame said that the sun is the most poisonous in the afternoon, and you must hold an umbrella for the master when you go out." Qin Luo muttered and tried to collect the umbrella, but he couldn't close it back and forth, so he simply threw it directly to the bodyguard.

"Shangguan, I'm sorry to be early." He Zhanting ignored him, but greeted Shangguan Yu, who greeted him.

"Brother Zhanting's eyebrows are dancing, is there anything good?" Shangguan Yu asked, turning back and motioning for his apprentice to hand over the tea.

He Zhanting took the cup and took a sip, it was a good osmanthus oolong, and he instantly felt that his lips and teeth were fragrant, and his heart and spleen were infiltrated. He had no intention of putting away the joy on his face, but he didn't seem to plan to tell Shangguan Yu where the joy came from, which was a little contradictory.

"Hey, I've been so busy all day like a fly without a head, so it's easy to come to you to sneak around, of course. Besides, when I get old, I always look old with a stiff face, and my family Yina often tells me to smile more, saying that I look young when I laugh. ”

"Smile for ten years, Ina is right." Shangguan Yu echoed, raising his hand and inviting He Zhanting to the swivel chair.

Qin Luo suddenly interjected, flattering and showing off: "My young lady won the first place in the provincial outstanding youth election on behalf of Lucheng, and my lord has been so happy since yesterday that he can't keep his mouth shut." ”

He Zhanting glanced at him coldly, and reprimanded: "Mouthy." ”

Shangguan Yu suddenly said: "No wonder, this is a great joy, Yina is really promising, or Brother Zhan Ting, you are blessed." ”

A hint of pride flashed at the corner of He Zhanting's mouth.

Shangguan Yu helped him rub his shoulders, and from time to time he turned his neck, and there was a crisp joint sound from his cervical spine.

"It's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning......" He Zhanting closed his eyes and enjoyed it, his voice was soft and deep, "Ina has been sensible since she was a child, don't let me worry about it, it's all up to her to have this kind of creation." It is I who stain her light, and she is more blessed than I am. ”

"The tiger father has no dog girl, she has inherited all the intelligence and courage of Brother Zhanting. To tell the truth, I don't envy you for having thousands of gold and silver in your pocket, I only envy you for having such a lovely daughter, who can only be cultivated in a few lifetimes. ”

"Hey." He Zhanting suddenly patted Shangguan Yu's hand on his shoulder, "Don't be careful, brother, we have been friends for so many years, I have no intention of showing off in front of you at all." Then he glared at Qin Luo again. It's all this old thing that can't hold its mouth. ”

Qin Luo looked aggrieved.

"It's your heart to say this, Ina doesn't dislike recognizing me as a father-in-law, and I, as a godfather, should be happy for her." Shangguan Yu explained, "My family's fate is not good, no one is to blame." ”

"It's been seven years, right?" He Zhanting asked tentatively.

"Hmm." A desperate sigh came from Shangguan Yu's chest.

"With the flick of a finger, thinking about the length of a person's life is like a dream, but it's such a big deal."

"Yes, countless midnight dreams come back and I think she is still there, or the well-behaved and clever Nizi when she was a child, as if she would lie on my bedside when she woke up, and eagerly asked me to pull her out to row and go shopping and eat."

"If you want to open it, people can't be resurrected after death, and you can't replace her, take care of yourself, she can feel at ease in the spirit of the sky."

"Hmm. By the way, what do you want to do today? After the massage, Shangguan Yu took out the purple gold scissors.

"It's good to fix it, it's hot, how to take care of it."

He Zhanting's hair was not long, and he insisted on shaving his head even more on a hot day, so Shangguan Yu began to trim it according to his wishes.

"Actually, don't envy me, you don't know many things when you are noble in front of people and then you are sinned. My life is also bumpy, and the world only sees a great family and a worry-free food and clothing, but I don't know how much bloody rain I have experienced behind it. When I was young, I was strong and competitive, and I always felt that I didn't steam steamed buns for a lifetime, and I was sharp, and I did a lot of things that outweighed the losses. This is old, the horizon is wider, but the heart is low, and many times I feel that if I didn't take that step, I don't think there is anything to lose......"

He Zhanting said vaguely but quite emotionally.

"Yes, looking back at the boyhood day, it's dusk. Time is so fast, so fast that people are caught off guard, and many things are already in the past before they have time to think about it. The scissors flew in Shangguan Yu's hands, and his hair fell like first snow.

"It's a shame to have such an excellent child as Ina to share it for me, if only He Chong is that bastard, I'd rather have no children and no heirs, so I don't have to worry so much in vain. Both of us are half-cut people, so we still have to think about ourselves. By the way, I took down the land in Lushan, the front mountain cooperated with the tourism bureau to develop the scenic spot, and the back mountain is ready to build a villa. ”

"Brother Zhanting, don't tease me, you have a lot of opportunities, how can you have time to fool around with an idler like me. Guarding this broken shop, I can still chat with you from time to time, if you move to the mountains, I'm afraid you won't see anyone for a year and a half. ”

"Haha, you laugh at me too. Anyway, when the time comes, I will choose a set, call me a brother and a brother, and I haven't sent you anything over the years, which is a part of my heart. Don't worry, I will definitely go to the mountains to escape the summer when the time comes, and as I get older, I should also consider handing over the things at hand and enjoying the leisure. ”

"This is renunciation." Shangguan Yu stopped the scissors in his hand, and found that the back of He Zhanting's head was not very smooth, so he made up for it twice, "Yina has a future, and your young master is also young and strong, and when the time comes, there is nothing to worry about." ”

"Don't mention that bastard, I won't be angry when I talk about him, ah......" He Zhanting yawned and pouted, "I'm wandering around all day long, no different from a second-rate son." You say, it's all my species, why is there such a big difference? ”

"You can't say that, the boy woke up late, and he was sensible for a day, but he had to do big things."

Shangguan Yu took a soft brush and gently brushed away the broken hair on He Zhanting's face.

Qin Luo couldn't help it for a long time, and interjected again: "Master Shangguan is very right, the young master is very talented, and he will definitely succeed in the future, don't worry about the sky, master." ”

"Step aside, you old thing, no one will treat you as a mute if you don't speak." Remembering his daughter's previous admonition, saying that Shangguan Yu didn't like Qin Luo very much, He Zhanting reprimanded, "Shangguan's knife doesn't have eyes, be careful to cut your tongue." ”

As soon as these words came out, a cold sweat suddenly broke out in Shangguan Yu's head. Qin Luo stretched his neck like a turtle, wrinkled his nose and stopped talking.

"I don't want him to be as productive as Ina, as long as I don't fool around with those so-called friends, don't cause trouble for me, and live honestly, I will burn high incense. But even he can't do this, he either drinks or fights all day long, Xin Mu and I are so broken. ”

Shangguan Yu motioned to He Zhanting to prepare to trim his face, He Zhanting's buttocks moved down, and as soon as he stepped on his feet, the person and the back of the chair lay down.

The apprentice handed over the hot towel and covered He Zhanting's face, and a white steam rose. He sighed comfortably, feeling all the pores on his face open, and his whole body relaxed.

"I'm going to fight for Ina." Shangguan Yu looked at the clock, "It is said that sensible children work hard, and I don't think it's false at all." Brother Zhan Ting kept praising his daughter, and made her so tired, it is estimated that one heart is still biased towards the young master, right? ”

"Ha, I can't let Ina hear that." He Zhanting said through a towel, acquiescing to this remark, "In the final analysis, that bastard kid is also spoiled, and I am not the only culprit." Xin Mu has no bottom line when he loves him, he says what to give, and he protects him when he does something wrong, and sometimes he doesn't let him stop him if he wants to teach two sentences, and he is anxious in front of me...... It is said that loving mothers have many defeated children, and this is the case in any kind of family. ”

"How can your wife's kindness be at home, who in Lucheng doesn't know that she is kind and charitable, and is busy for charity and public welfare. For their own children, it must be even more caring and responsive. ”

"The key is here, it stands to reason that it is not biological, and it is necessary to love Ina more. But she praised He Chong like a prince, so that I, who was Lao Tzu, was sometimes not a person inside and out. ”

"Don't worry about it, your young master will definitely not let you down."

Shangguan Yu touched the towel, it was still a little hot, so he had to wait.

"Getting a face here is just as addictive as smoking a hookah when you were young."

"Sooner or later, I'll quit like quitting smoking."

"No, no." He Zhanting fell asleep shallowly as he spoke. Shangguan Yu gently massaged his head, and snoring soon came from under the towel.

Look at the clock, it's almost time to go. He touched the cowhide waist sleeve, today's purple gold knife was particularly hard and cold, hanging on his waist like a piece of ice.

"Master Shangguan......" Qin Luo called quietly, pointing at He Zhanting, for fear of being alarmed, "I'm sorry to hurry up, the people in the mayor's office are still waiting to see the master." ”

Shangguan Yu nodded calmly and pulled out the sharp purple gold knife......

The woman in the brown sunglasses pressed the brim of her straw hat tied with a ribbon so that others could not see her face clearly. It was the most poisonous afternoon of the sun, and she didn't realize how hot the beige trench coat was wrapped around her, and pulled her collar up. Sitting on the cramped seat of the bubble tea shop, the Hong Kong-style stockings milk tea in front of her did not move, she just stared intently at the door of "one less knife" diagonally opposite, and her heart was beating wildly.
