Chapter 4 Father and Son Talk
Tang Yaohui used a choked voice to intermittently tell what happened today.
I can't help but think of my previous life, that rebellious run away from home. I didn't return home until I finally received a notification that my parents were critically ill. In the end, I was alone and lived in an empty house. To live, to make money. But he was ruthlessly crushed by life, and he was overwhelmed and depressed and walked on the street. In a car accident, watch the world in front of you slowly fade away. Loneliness rushed to Tang Yaohui's heart. His eyes slowly closed. "Mom and Dad, my son is here to accompany you. This sentence was in my mind until I closed my eyes. All the way to a blank in my mind.
But now, in his father's concerned greetings, Tang Yaohui felt the warmth of home again, and the eyes in his slightly reddened eyes were a little moist.
"Xiaohui, you have nineteen this year. Tang Chenggong's voice was hoarse, "You are an adult, and you are an adult." ”
"Dad, no matter how old I am, in the eyes of the second elder, I am still my childhood, isn't it. ”
"You stinky boy. Now I can't hold you. After taking a sip of tea, Tang Chenggong continued: "I know what you kid is thinking. Yes, it's a bit difficult at home. Plus your brother's leg injury. But there is a little opportunity that needs to be grasped no matter how difficult it is, and I will not regret it in the future. ”
"Dad, I ......"
As soon as Tang Yaohui said a few words, Tang Chenggong interrupted.
"Tang Yaohui. You're nineteen, grown up. Put down the newspaper and looked at Tang Yaohui affectionately, "After so many years, I believe you won't forget it, I remember what I said when I was drunk when Xiaohua disappeared." ”
He sighed and continued: "I can barely remember, don't say you forget." ”
"Dad......"
"Come and sit down, let me finish. ”
The tough tone made Tang Yaohui dare not refute. Put down the work in your hand and sit face to face with Tang Chenggong. Sit upright with your hands on your legs, sweating in the palms of your hands. At this moment, Tang Yaohui's heart was tense.
"Xiaohui, I know you're a good boy. I'm also glad to have a kid like you. It's true. From the first time you call Dad, you are a good son of Dad. ”
Tang Chenggong tried to speak in a very soft voice. He knew very well that Tang Yaohui at this time would collapse if he was not careful. After so many years of days and nights, even if it is not biological, it is already equal to biological.
"Dad regretted it when he woke up from drinking. I've been trying to talk to you and make it clear, but I'm very scared, so I've been dragging it out. Now that you're an adult, there are some things you should know. ”
"No, Dad. I'd rather not know anything. All I know is that you are my father, my biological father. ”
At this time, the tears could not be stopped at all, like pearls falling drop by drop.
"I haven't met your birth parents, and I don't know how you were discarded. Sometimes I wonder if your parents are still alive, after all, the world is so chaotic that I can't say if I deliberately discarded you. I think you should look for it. Find out the truth. ”
"That's the first thing I've said today, and the other thing I'm going to give you a try at the Abilities Guild. ”
"No, Dad, I don't want it. Not to mention how much it will cost, I don't know if I can awaken the ability. ”
"Kid, money is not the most important thing, as long as you have strong strength, money is indispensable. After a pause, he continued: "There are other reasons why I let you go to the awakening: waiting for you to find your biological parents also requires strength, otherwise you won't even be able to get out of the city." How to find. ”
"Child, in fact, Dad still has a selfish heart. If you can practice, it will be of great help to your family. Not to mention now, when my parents are old and gone, Xiaohua still needs your care. Mom and Dad can't take care of you and Xiaohua for the rest of your life. ”
Tang Yaohui didn't expect Tang Chenggong to say this to himself. In fact, what Tang Chenggong said is also very accurate, with strength, he can protect his family. If you become a cultivator, you will naturally be treated much better than you are now. I know the situation in my own home. But I'm afraid......
"Okay, let's go to bed early after cleaning. I'll ask your mom to give you the money tomorrow. After speaking, he patted Tang Yaohui on the shoulder, took the teacup and went back to the room. Don't give Tang Yaohui a chance to refute.
Tang Yaohui went back to the room and opened the book irritably, reading a few pages. At this time, Tang Yaohua and Xu Ru had already returned.
Tang Yaohui's brothers have lived in the same room since they were children, the small room is one thing, and the other is that they can take care of Tang Yaohua. After helping Tang Yaohua to bed, Xu Ru left.
"Brother, look at your restlessness, what's wrong. Did Dad tell you something?"
Tang Yaohua's brain has been spinning very fast since he was a child, and he is a thief. If it weren't for physical reasons, the current Tang Yaohua would definitely be one of the top five in the school.
Once, when I fell asleep in the living room at night, I vaguely heard the conversation between my parents. Although there is not a lot of information, I still guessed that my brother was not biological. It seems that my brother himself knows a little.
Tang Yaohua was very scared, he didn't want his brother to leave him. Since being rescued, although his parents have taken good care of themselves, they don't have much time, and most of their lives are Tang Yaohui talking and reading books and telling stories to themselves, which makes Tang Yaohua's heart warm. I accidentally fell and no one in the family knew what to do, and it was my brother who ran back from school during lunch break to see that he was found. Dad was not at home at night at night, and he was a little unwell, and he was accompanied by his brother to see a doctor.
Later, the days passed day by day, and it felt the same as before, and Tang Yaohua felt happy.
"It's nothing, it's just a matter of whether or not you become a practitioner. After all, the family is not rich. ”
"Hey, what did I think. Brother, are you going to become a cultivator? I will be the younger brother of a cultivator in the future. I can also walk sideways in the future."
Tang Yaohui knocked on the forehead of his younger brother who was lying on the bed.
"Still walking sideways, you think you're a crab. Sleep well. After that, he packed up his things and prepared to rest.
Tang Yaohui got up a little late the next day. Although I said that I went to bed early yesterday, I was still thinking about it while lying in bed, and I couldn't fall asleep over and over.
When I went out, I saw Tang Yaohua bathing in the early morning sun. Holding a book of economics in his hand, I don't know how many times I have read it.
"Good morning, brother. ”
"Good morning, Ah Hua. ”
This is the constant greeting of the brothers every weekend.
took breakfast and sat next to Tang Yaohua and ate it.
"Brother, the bag on the table has the money you went to the Alien Society, don't forget it. I'm waiting for your good news at home. Tang Yaohua said playfully. "Also, can you not keep eating your buns next to me, I'm distressed as a foodie. I just want to eat non-stop. Hmph!"
"Don't worry, Xiaohua. In the future, when your brother becomes a cultivator, he will have money and will be able to eat whatever he wants. When the time comes, our family of four will be happy. Mom and Dad don't have to go to work anymore to accompany you every day, and then introduce you to a girlfriend when the time comes. Ha ha?. ”
"Hmph>o <," Tang Yaohua snorted. "You know how to bully me. You're still a single dog yourself. ”
Time passed minute by minute between the two brothers' play.
It was nearly nine o'clock when Tang Yaohui went out. He lives a frugal life, and he likes to walk alone when he is not stepping up things.
Walking on the street, I looked at all kinds of high-rise buildings of steel and concrete, and trucks and cars drove on the highway. If it weren't for the fact that he was looking at the corpses of the various demon beasts and demon plants carried on the truck, Tang Yaohui would not feel that he had already crossed over.
Looking at the prosperity in front of him, Tang Yaohui felt that he couldn't fit in.
At this time, a group of soldiers came in front of them, striding forward. They are the low-level martial artists in the army, who patrol routinely every day to prevent all kinds of monsters and plants from attacking.
After walking for nearly two hours, Tang Yaohui finally came to the gate of the Association of Strangers.
Among the civil organizations, although the status of the Association of Strangers is lower than that of the Ancient Warriors Association, it is only lower than that of the Ancient Warriors Association, and there are also mercenary associations, demon beasts and demon plant research associations, and so on.
Looking at the spacious gate and the twenty-three-story building in front of him, Tang Yaohui couldn't help but have the idea of fighting local tyrants and dividing powers. But that's just a thought. The Association of Strangers has all kinds of abilities, and the support of combat is unknown. Where do you have the strength?
The decoration at the entrance is very luxurious. In the flower beds on both sides, a variety of plants can be vaguely seen planting a few precious plants. On the walls on both sides are relief statues of various marble scenery, which are very beautiful.
The five golden characters of 'Association of the Anomalous' on the forehead of the door look as if they were made of gold. Five gems of various colors sparkle on each side of the door frame. Fortunately, this is the era of cultivation, and although some people like useless gems and antiques, they are only a minority. Now everyone likes all kinds of spiritual fruits or demon beast meat. The way rich people chat now is "What kind of monster meat is your family eating today", "I bought a certain spirit fruit today", "Brother, I just transplanted a spirit plant that seems to be blooming in the near future, when will I come to watch the ornamental taste of the spirit tea" or something.
Walking into the door of the association, there is a silver-white decoration inside. The staff in the hall were busy with their feet not touching the ground.
Tang Yaohui looked everywhere. There was a long queue in the hall. There are signs hanging in each of the two rooms next to it, which are the Demon Beast Identification Office and the Demon Plant Identification Office. There were items in the room, but there was no one at the moment.
Tang Yaohui saw that he was standing and no one paid attention to him, so he was walking around and observing.
"Hello, how can I help you?" After a while, a young lady with a goose egg face finally came over and asked.
"Hello, I'm here to awaken the ability. ”
"Oh, okay. Please pay at the cashier's office. After that, I'll take you up to the Awakening Room to continue your ability awakening. As he spoke, he pointed to the place where the fee was paid and asked Tang Yaohui to go over and pay the fee.
The queue is not long, and the payment is over after waiting for more than ten minutes, and the imaginary scenes of pretending to slap the face have not appeared. Thinking, "Novels are all lies." "Suddenly, I thought that I was just an ordinary person, as if I was finished at the touch of others.
After paying the fee, it was the goose-egg-faced young lady who took Tang Yaohui upstairs to the ability awakening room.
