Chapter 214: How I envy people like you
……
Pedal Pedal Pedal ~
A series of hurried footsteps sounded on the floor, and a middle-aged man with a fat fortune looked nervous and quickly ran to the place where his daughter was.
Bang~
The door of the private room was opened, and Wang Tongfu immediately smelled a pungent smell, and a trace of familiarity flashed in his mind, but he didn't think much about it, but turned his gaze to the young man sitting on the sofa.
His daughter, Wang Yao, sat on the ground, her pretty face was pale, her eyes flashed with horror, and she didn't dare to move.
"Daddy!"
Seeing his father, Wang Yao's frightened eyes flashed with a hint of joy, as if he was in the endless darkness and encountered a little light, he quickly stood up, tears swaying in his eyes, and rushed towards his father.
At this moment, she is no longer a brutal young lady, but a girl who has been wronged and needs her father's love and protection.
hugged his daughter who pounced on him, Wang Tongfu looked loving, and asked with concern: "Yao'er, are you okay, have you been hurt there?" ”
"No ......"
Wang Yao shook her head in a choked voice, and looked back at Zeng Yi who was sitting next to her with some palpitations.
The man didn't do anything about himself, but when he did it before, he scared himself, but while waiting for his father to arrive, he felt an inexplicable pressure and fear when he stayed with him.
"Alright, lyrical time is over. I didn't touch your baby daughter in the slightest, don't worry. ”
Just when Wang Tongfu asked what was going on with his daughter, a cold voice interrupted the conversation between the two, and they couldn't help but look over there.
"You're Wang Tongfu, aren't you?" Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him who was dressed in luxurious clothes and had a fat figure, Zeng Yi asked coldly.
"Yes...... Yes, I am Wang Tongfu, I don't know the respected Soul Master, where did I offend you? Wang Tongfu pulled the girl behind him and stared at the unfamiliar face in front of him with a wary expression.
He could be sure that he had never met this person, so why did he find him?
Zeng Yi didn't speak, but set his eyes on Wang Yao, who was hiding behind Wang Tongfu and peeking at him, "You go out, I have something to talk about with your father." ”
"Yao'er, you go out first, I'll talk to this adult."
"But my father ......" Wang Yao couldn't help but worry about her father, she knew that although her father was also a soul master, his soul power was only twenty-three, a great soul master of the second ring, even she was not as good as her, and she was very worried about letting her father stay with such a terrifying person.
"Obedient, it's okay, go out." Wang Tongfu said to his daughter very gently that his daughter cared about him, which made him very pleased.
At home, the daughter is the best for herself.
The general situation here, the soul master who looked for him had already explained it to him. The person in front of him can subdue two Soul Venerables in an instant, and there is also a Great Soul Master, whose strength is at least the Soul Sect realm. In the face of such a soul master, he Fulan Restaurant does not have the strength to fight against such a person.
"Then be careful." Wang Yao said, glanced at Zeng Yi tremblingly, and retreated.
After seeing his daughter leave the box, Wang Tongfu looked at Zeng Yi with a respectful expression, "My lord, if there is anything you can say, as long as it is not too outrageous, I can help you." ”
"How do you think you can help me?" Zeng Yi couldn't help but smile, stood up, and walked slowly towards him.
Seeing this young man walking slowly around him, looking at himself, with this disdain in his eyes, Wang Tongfu panicked even more in his heart.
Seeing that Wang Tongfu lowered his head and didn't speak, Zeng Yi smiled faintly, "Don't worry, I didn't come to you with any bad intentions, I was just entrusted by someone to give you something." ”
"Entrusted? What to send? Wang Tongfu couldn't help but be curious.
"Well, that's all." Zeng Yi pointed to the ground.
Wang Tongfu looked at the pickles scattered on the ground, his eyes couldn't help but be distracted, and some memories couldn't help flashing through his mind.
Seeing Wang Tongfu's somewhat sluggish appearance, Zeng Yi said again: "Let me tell you something." A few days ago, on the road, I was passing by a field when I saw an old man lying in the field, and I rescued the old man. With such a hot temperature, even I, a soul master, am a little uncomfortable, let alone an ordinary person without soul power. I suppose if I had found out a little later, the old man might have gone west, don't you think? ”
Hearing this, Wang Tongfu's heart was shocked, but he was still silent.
Zeng Yi continued, "After that, I sent the old man to his home and stayed at the old man's house for a night. I also learned that the old man lives alone, and he said that his wife has passed away last year......"
This sentence, like a boulder, hit Wang Tongfu's heart, his eyes were full of incredulity, and his steps couldn't help but staggered back two steps, and he almost fell to the ground.
"I'm a little puzzled, the old man is a wife, so don't you have any children? Why don't you even have a filial piety person when you are old? Are all his children dead? ”
But the old man said that he also had a son, and he lived in Tianshui City, speaking of this, the old man's face was still a little proud. When I was leaving, the old man also asked me to go to Tianshui City, and handed over this jar of pickles to his son, who said that he had no ability and couldn't give anything valuable to his son, so he could only make these pickles for himself. He also said that the pickles he made were the favorite when his son was young. ”
"But, I think, the old man who lives in Tianshui City, is already the son of a restaurant owner, and has eaten a lot of delicacies from the mountains and seas, so he shouldn't be able to eat these pickles."
"Am you right? Wang Tongfu. ”
But at this time, Wang Tongfu was already in tears, crying silently, poofed, knelt on the ground, grabbed the pickles on the ground and stuffed them into his mouth.
"Good...... It's delicious, it's delicious......" Wang Tongfu said with a choked voice as he chewed. However, Zeng Yi couldn't stand him like this, grabbed his shirt with one hand, and lifted it up.
"Don't think you're atoning for your sins like this, don't disgust me!" Zeng Yi roared with a hideous face.
"You have a wonderful family, a lovely daughter, and such a great career in this water city. But what! But he left his parents who worked hard to raise him in the countryside, and ignored them for more than ten years, what kind of face do people like you have to cry here? Go back and cry for your father! ”
"Leaving your parents in the countryside to live a hard life, but you are enjoying Qingfu in Tianshui City, you eat big fish and meat, and your parents only have pickles and white porridge! You slept on a soft bed, but your parents slept on a cool plank! Do you know the plank bed? As soon as the person sat on it, it creaked, as if it was about to collapse in the next second! This way, you can still sleep peacefully! ”
"You have such a family business, is it difficult to have an old man? How much can he use you? Your conscience has been eaten by dogs! ”
As he spoke, Zeng Yi couldn't control his emotions. And Wang Tongfu, the tears are like a dam that has opened the floodgates, constantly flowing, and his eyes are dull and godless.
Loosening his clothes, Wang Tongfu fell to the ground weakly, kneeling and sitting, tears in his eyes. Zeng Yi was staring at him, his chest constantly rising and falling, obviously caused by the excitement just now.
After coming over for a long time, Zeng Yi calmed down his emotions.
Looking at Wang Tongfu, Zeng Yi said lightly: "An old man, in his last days, his only wish is that his children can be by his side, watch him, and spend his last time." ”
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry......"
Wang Tongfu cried bitterly, knelt on the ground, knocked his forehead on the ground, and kept muttering in his mouth, repeating sorry.
Seeing him like this, Zeng Yi couldn't help but sigh.
Perhaps, he also has something unspeakable, otherwise, he would not have such emotions.
Zeng Yi can see that Wang Tongfu is not pretending, he is really revealing his true feelings.
However, it is a mistake to ignore your parents who abandon you for any reason.
The light in Zeng Yi's hand flashed, and a black crockpot appeared in his hand.
The old man gave Zeng Yi two jars of pickles, one for his son and one for Zeng Yi, but one jar had already fallen, and Zeng Yi had to contribute himself.
"If you really regret it, go and take care of your father, the old man, there is not much time left."
Zeng Yi put the jar on the table and walked towards the door of the private room.
"Do you know how much I envy people like you?"
When Zeng Yi's figure crossed Wang Tongfu, Wang Tongfu vaguely heard this sentence ringing in his ears.
......
After a long time, Wang Tongfu stood up, looked at the jar on the table, walked over with trembling steps, picked up the jar, and began to lose control of his emotions again, and cried loudly.
He is a countryman, and when the martial soul awakens, he has a little soul power, and everyone in the village thinks that he can become a soul master and bring glory to the village. In this way, with the hope of the audience, he came to Tianshui City to work hard.
In Tianshui City, he struggled for more than ten years, and was lucky to find a woman who could accompany him for a lifetime. His wife is a native of Tianshui City, and the family has some strength, it stands to reason that such a girlfriend should not look down on a poor boy like him, but this is the case.
Although he married an excellent woman, he was wealthy and had no status in the family. He once brought the two elders to live in Tianshui City, but because of the wealth, his parents were ridiculed, and even his wife looked down on his parents.
In the end, in order not to drag him down, the two elders chose to go back to the countryside to live. He also worked hard for this and didn't let himself be looked down upon.
Yes, he succeeded in the end, with his own talent, plus the support of his wife, he opened a restaurant in Tianshui City, and the restaurant is quite famous in Tianshui City. And his daughter was also very competitive, and was admitted to the empire's famous soul master school, Tianshui Academy to study.
All this went smoothly and beautifully, but gradually, he forgot about the two elders who were still in the countryside.
Maybe it's because he feels that he is not strong enough, and now, with the help of his wife's family, he has done this, and he doesn't dare to bring the two elders over. In addition, when I heard that there were robbers on the road, my thoughts were also extinguished by this fear.
But in fact, he is a cowardly, cowardly person, no matter how glamorous on the outside, this is the essence of the heart.
He was afraid, afraid that he would come to something that he had worked hard for in his life, and in an instant, it would disappear. So, he chose to forget about it.
But, at this moment, he knew that he was wrong. There are some things, once missed, that cannot be undone. Just like now, when his mother died, he didn't even look at it, and his old father was still waiting for him.
He wanted to appear in front of his father right now, kneel down and confess his mistake to him.
Bang~
The door of the private room was opened, Wang Yao looked at his father, his eyes were ruddy, and the tears were rolling, and he held a black jar in his arms with both hands, like a baby.
"Dad, are you alright?"
Wang Tongfu shook his head and said:
"Call someone to prepare the car, I want to go home!"
