Chapter 48: Lao Yuan

The white-haired old man looked at me with piercing eyes, waiting for my reply.

Although he is old, those eyes are really sharp, which gives people a lot of pressure. It is conceivable that I am afraid that I was also a high-ranking figure who commanded thousands of troops and horses back then, and I was used to commanding the wind and clouds.

If it weren't for me, if it were anyone else, under such a gaze, I am afraid that I would have sweated on my back and knelt down with weak feet.

Even if it was the former meβ€”that is, before I obtained the body of the earth spiritβ€”I might have felt weak in my heart under his gaze.

But I can just ignore it now, hehe.

Still, I decided to tell him the truth, because this is a man of insight and courage.

I reached out to the chair next to the hallway and made a "please sit" gesture. Because this matter is a long story, I will definitely not be able to explain it after standing for three or two sentences.

The white-haired old man didn't say much, and sat down in a chair hand in hand with his wife.

I also sat down next to the white-haired old man.

Then, I started by meeting Blind Liu, who predicted that I would definitely die on my birthday. I was so hungry that I couldn't stand it, I choked to death after eating an egg, I saw the Emperor Xudu, and was appointed as a judge in the world; then got rid of Qin Taotian and Yang Shouzheng, and took over the Haotian Group; Got rid of Mr. Kobayashi and took over the Sun Moon Group. Although it was only half a year, there was quite a lot going on in that time, and I talked about it for almost forty minutes.

In the meantime, the white-haired old man had a calm face, and he didn't ask me a word, and his face didn't change at all; His wife was beside him, and her expression was very varied, one moment surprised, one moment moved, and the other worried.

Finally, I talked about the recent case: three thirteen-year-old boys died mysteriously, and after analysis, it is very likely that Maoshan Taoist priests or zombies committed it.

I even told the white-haired old man that we were going to make an astral pistol. I came to the hospital today just because of the spirit pistol, and I happened to encounter Yuan Yue being possessed by the spirit body, which saved her by the way.

After listening to me, the white-haired old man didn't say anything, but his wife looked at me and said kindly, "I didn't expect that you are so young and can take on so many things. ”

I smiled and said, "It's okay, some things have to be done." It's as if there is a thief in this world, and someone will be responsible for catching him; There are souls in this world who are in turmoil, and someone should deal with them. ”

"But I heard you say it's dangerous to do this, and it seems like you've risked your life a few times. And, that's the underworld, isn't it...... Aren't you afraid? ”

I smiled and said, "I was very scared at first, but then I got used to it." Since I was chosen, I can only accept my fate, hehe, I will take this as the will of God, the mission given to me by God, and I am just obeying the will of God. ”

The white-haired old man said coldly, "Do you think you are great? Do you think you're protecting the whole world? Are you the protector of all? ”

I thought about it for a moment and said, "I never felt great, I just did what I felt I should do and try to do it well." Former...... You just said that you participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, as a soldier, do you also think that you are very great? ”

I don't know what to call him, so I just follow the example in martial arts and call him "senior".

The white-haired old man thought for a moment and said, "No." I, as a soldier, just do what I'm supposed to do. I felt like I was doing the right thing, so I did it, and I tried to do it well, and that's it. ”

He said something about what I said.

The two of us looked at each other and smiled, and suddenly felt that it was impossible to go against our hearts.

The white-haired old man groaned and said, "You're a good kid, but there's one thing you don't do well......"

I sincerely asked: "Please ask the seniors for advice, you can call me Xiao Chen." ”

The white-haired old man smiled: "Don't call me senior, just call me Lao Yuan." I'm a military man, you know that. I have never fought a war, and there have always been countless comrades-in-arms by my side. What is the most important thing on the battlefield? It's trust! Fighting a war is never a one-man business, and you must give your comrades full trust and not individual heroism. But what about you? You want to take care of everything alone, maybe you have good intentions, but how much do you think you can do alone? Do you think you alone can really protect the whole world? ”

I groaned, not knowing what to say.

Lao Yuan continued: "I learned from your narrative that many of your friends have made it clear that they can help you, but you have refused, right? On the surface, you don't want to drag them down. And actually, you don't believe them. You think they don't have the power to deal with the soul, you think they don't have the power to fight back against the soul. ”

I couldn't help but nod slightly, because that's exactly what I thought.

Lao Yuan continued: "But have you ever thought that you can completely find a way to strengthen their abilities and give them the ability to deal with souls? So that they have the ability to protect themselves? You need to have comrades, you need someone to fight alongside you. ”

Before I could speak, Tang Jiang next to me suddenly interjected and said, "Actually, I also told him about this, aren't we preparing to make a spirit pistol now?" That's because we, after consulting it, decided to organize a special unit to deal with those souls. The main thing is that now it is very likely that there will be zombie infestations, and we must be prepared for a rainy day. ”

Lao Yuan nodded, but did not speak.

At this time, there was a sudden exclamation from inside the operating room.

"It's Xiao Yue who woke up!" The elegant lady screamed in surprise and joy, forgot her manners, stood up and walked up with a lunge, pushed open the door of the operating room and walked in.

Lao Yuan and I also hurriedly stood up and followed into the operating room.

On the operating table, the unconscious little girl had really woken up, sitting there looking left and right in panic.

"Xiao Yue!" Lady Grace called out and hugged her daughter, tears flowed down her eyes.

"Mother......" Yuan Yue also hugged her mother, crying silently.

Lao Yuan stood beside him, with a smile on his face and moist eyes.

I also suddenly felt that my eyes were sour.

It's a feeling to be able to reunite a family...... It's really good, I've done another good thing.

After coming over for a long time, the mother and daughter separated, and Ms. Elegant said to her daughter: "Xiao Yue, you can pick up a life this time, and you have to thank this Xiao Chen." ”

Yuan Yue glanced at me and didn't say thank you, but lowered her head with a red face.

I hurriedly said, "That...... You're welcome, I just happened to be at the right time, and I didn't have much credit. ”

Ms. Grace smiled and said, "You just call me Aunt Ye......

Lao Yuan next to him hurriedly said: "I had a relationship with Xiao Chen's peers, but you asked him to call you Aunt Ye?" Then should I call you Aunt Ye too? ”

Aunt Ye smiled and said, "Then call me Sister Ye...... But that's not right, then our Xiaoyue doesn't want to call Xiao Chen Uncle Chen? Isn't that good? ”

Yuan Yue's face suddenly turned even redder, just like a piece of red cloth.

Lao Yuan also said with a smile: "Forget it, it's not clear what to talk about, let's talk about it." ”

"Yo yo yo," Aunt Ye said to her daughter exaggeratedly, "See, your father is usually straightforward, but today he is so open-minded, it's really rare." And even joked with us! I'll have to get up early tomorrow to see if the sun is coming out of the west. ”

"Nonsense!" Lao Yuan said with a straight face, but he couldn't help but smile in his eyes.

Aunt Ye said: "No matter what, we have to thank Xiao Chen well." Come to our house today and let Aunt Ye cook a few dishes for you to taste. You may not know that your Aunt Ye's craftsmanship is still good. ”

I smiled, but didn't speak. How could I not know that her daughter's little life was almost lost because of her own craftsmanship?
