Four hundred and thirty-three chapters
Leng Xuan was not interested in knowing those meaningless past events for him, and asked directly, "Have these patterns on the well wall always existed?" Was it carved when the well was built? βγ
"Pattern?" Leng Tie's gaze flashed and he dodged Leng Xuan, "How can there be?" I... How can't you see...".
The previous patterns were soaked in the well water, and were blocked by the shade of the hundred-year-old tree next to the ancient well, and when the wind shook the shadow of the tree, even if someone saw those patterns, they thought it was mottled and would not care about it, let alone study it carefully.
"Can't you see? Look closely..."Leng Xuan stretched out his hand and put it on Leng Tie's shoulder, and asked with that faint expression, "If I throw Uncle Tie down and let you get closer, will you be able to see it?" βγ
"Huh? Throw... Shall I go down? Leng Tie's head was stunned, and he turned around and wanted to escape, "No, Young Master Xuan, my old arms and legs, if you really throw me down, I will definitely fall to death... Can I still get up? βγ
"Don't want to go down?" Leng Xuan let go of his hand and asked, "Tell me everything you know, now that President Leng is gone, the young master of Dusty may not turn his face for you and me, what do you think?" βγ
Maybe everyone will think so, even if Leng Tie wants to have objections, he doesn't dare to say it at this time. Leng Xuan is a thorn in the head that does not eat oil and salt, soft and hard, and no one in the entire Leng clan dares to argue with him?
"Huh? You mean... Those things on the walls of the well? These patterns are actually... It's all pictures, I mean... It seems that they are all about myths and stories, some things in legends, fooling children..."Leng Tie could only reply, "Young Master Xuan, you also like to listen to stories?" βγ
In order to show their wealth, large families will carve some myths and local legends on some buildings, that is, inherit the folk culture and embellish a side of the water and soil, this construction method is very common in the local area, and most of the pictures show these contents.
Leng turned his head to look at Leng Tie and didn't answer, the five fingers of his right hand were on the wall of the well, and a gap was broken at the wellhead that was repaired very flat, and Leng Xuan casually threw the gravel into the well, and the gravel smashed at the bottom of the well, and a long muffled sound came back.
Leng Tie unconsciously trembled twice, but he still said with a righteous and awe-inspiring expression, "These are really myths, and I don't know what they're about." It's all passed down from my ancestors, and so am I...".
"If it's really just a myth, what have you been doing here for more than 60 years?" Leng Xuan smiled faintly, "Uncle Tie should know me, I won't leave if I can't find the answer I want, and you, of course not!" βγ
Leng Xuan will not easily hurt people, but he will not give up easily what he wants to achieve. He wasn't threatening Leng Tie, but reminding him to see the facts clearly.
Leng Tie unconsciously shook a few more times in Leng Xuan's oppressive smile, "But Chairman Leng ordered it back then, and he said... He said these things... Alas! I can't be sorry for his entrustment, I can't say anything. If Young Master Xuan thinks I'm damned, you'd better throw me down...".
Leng Xuan looked at Leng Tie, who was trembling with fright, and had to pretend to be loyal with a funny expression and smiled, "It's okay not to say anything." I asked, can you nod your head or shake your head and not speak, okay? βγ
"Okay!" Leng Tie replied, "I don't really want to hide it, because I swore in front of Chairman Leng back then that if I leaked the secret of heaven, I would be struck by the sky, so...".
Leng Xuan patted Leng Tie on the shoulder and signaled that he didn't need to explain those useless nonsense, just tell him what he wanted to know.
"You ask, I'll do my best. But... But there are some thingsγI really don't know.,I haven't wanted to be white for so many years.γ Those strange things are so weird, you have to find the answers yourself! Leng Tie shook twice, he was really afraid.
"What is in these paintings is about me?" Leng Xuan asked, "Did these patterns exist before I was adopted by President Leng?" Did the feng shui gentleman get it? βγ
Leng Tie nodded, then shook his head again.
This means that the answer to the first question is yes, but the second question is uncertain and may have another explanation.
"What do you mean... Is it also related to Leng Kai? Leng Xuan continued to ask, "Is it because of these omens that Leng Chengfeng accepted us as 'righteous sons'?" Is it from a certain point of view that we can help him achieve hegemony? βγ
Leng Tie hesitated for a moment and nodded, then sighed again.
"Is it President Leng who is not allowed to divulge this secret?" Leng Xuan asked again, "Especially for me?" Who else knows about this? βγ
Leng Tie shook his head and sighed again, "Except for me, people who know... They are all dead. Including that feng shui gentleman, who died in a car accident not long after renovating this ancient well...".
In order to keep the secret, he did not hesitate to kill people and kill his mouth, this is the usual and effective method used by Leng and his son, but Leng Chengfeng actually trusted Leng Tie so much, and let him wait in the old mansion with this big secret, just to answer Leng Xuan's questions one day?
"Absolutely enough, ruthless enough, it's the style of the Leng family!" Leng Xuan couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that this secret is very important to me and Leng Kai?" βγ
"Hmm!" Leng Tie replied again, "Young Master Xuan's Congyin is beyond imagination, I didn't expect that you could guess so much from this little clue...".
Leng Tie not only spoke, but said more than one sentence.
"Uncle Tie, do you want to tell the truth?" Leng Xuan smiled, "Aren't you afraid that President Leng will come back to you and smelt your sin of disloyalty and unfilial piety?" βγ
Leng Tie also smiled and shook his head, "If Young Master Xuan really threw me down just now, he might never know that secret about you...".
"Oh?" Leng Xuan was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but become a little interested, "What do you mean?" βγ
"President Leng entrusted me with this secret back then, and I am the only one in the Leng family who knows!" Leng Tie sighed, "After so many years, I thought that this secret would also be buried with me forever, who knows...".
"Who knows, I'm going to find this place and see these pictures, so you changed your mind and told me the truth?" Leng Xuan's gaze fell on Leng Tie's face again, "Am I, do I want to thank you, Uncle Tie?"
Leng Tie shook his head again, and then let out a long sigh, "You don't have to thank me, this is all what President Leng ordered before." He said, no matter who you or Young Master Kai can find here and see these pictures, it is because of this opportunity. But the person he always wanted to come was...".
"He hopes it will be Leng Kai!" Leng Xuan bluntly said the name of Leng Tie who didn't finish speaking, Leng Chengfeng had always been very partial to Leng Kai when he was alive.
"Hmmm! The president said that he hoped it would be Leng Kai, but he also knew that the person who came in the end... It's going to be you! Leng Tie continued, "The reason why he favors Young Master Kai is because he knows that Young Master Xuan, you will not take the wrong path no matter what the circumstances, you are a person who has love in your heart and can distinguish between good and evil. And Master Kai he, his character as a person...".
Leng Tie sighed again and didn't finish speaking, if the person who came today was Leng Kai, maybe he would have been thrown into the bottom of the well, Leng Kai would never tolerate the Leng family who disobeyed the order. But he also can't wait for the moment when Leng Tie tells the truth, maybe he is destined to miss this secret?
"Me and Leng Kai... Is our life experience related to President Leng? Leng Xuan's eyes flashed, and he suddenly became a little white about the intermittent bizarre episodes in his dream last night.
The reason why he stood in the old mansion of the Leng family this morning was entirely because of a dream last night that he didn't understand, he wanted to find an explanation that could convince him, to know what the starting point and reason of his life was, and to find out as soon as possible while he still had some free time.
He didn't have much hope to find the answer, but at this time, he was a little surprised to hear Leng Tie say this.
"That's right! President Leng accepted you as a 'righteous son' and raised you, on the one hand, because of the prophecy in this ancient well, and on the other hand, because of the constant family affection, after all, you two brothers..."Leng Tie sighed and shook his head, "If you didn't know, who would have thought that the Leng family would have so many sad things?" βγ
"Sad... Affair? Leng Xuan retorted incomprehensibly, "It should be said that it is arrogant and lascivious, right?" Wealthy families have always been like this, they are all full of food and support, and they are self-inflicted! βγ
"Maybe, maybe... You're right! Leng Tie nodded a little approvingly, "Their sisters back then... Alas! It's really self-inflicted...".
