Chapter 63: Grafting
Even if I don't understand Feng Shui, I can figure out a thing or two by looking at this lifeless venue.
"Won't the people of the Lin family mind?"
"This is what the Lin family came up with by themselves."
I frowned and asked, "Why?" ”
Xu Yijin smiled silently.
My dad looked at the two of us and said, "What are you talking about?" With this kind of small talk, it is better to toast others more and learn how others deal with this kind of scene. ”
As he spoke, his gaze suddenly passed behind me, his face changed, and he immediately smiled and said, "Shichen, why did you come to our table?" With your relationship with the Lin family, you should sit at the main table. ”
I immediately turned back.
Liu Shichen didn't know when he would follow, so he stood behind me.
"I'm here to find Zhou Zhou." He asked the waiter to bring a chair and sat between me and Xu Yijin.
My dad knew that I didn't have a friendly relationship with Liu Shichen, but he didn't know what the specific reason was. His eyes swept back and forth over us, and he said, "Shichen, who are you?" ”
"Uncle Zhang, am I not good enough?" Liu Shichen didn't mean to ask, and his face was still smiling.
But this kind of smile made my father's face tremble, shook his head and said: "How come, you are the dragon and phoenix among people, we can't compare, everyone present, I'm afraid there is no one who can compare to you." ”
My dad patted his ass, and he deserved it.
When Liu Shichen heard the boasting words, he still couldn't make waves, and said with a faint smile: "Since I am so special in your eyes." Then I propose to marry Zhou Zhou, can you agree? ”
"This?" My dad looked at me in surprise and said, "What is your relationship with Zhou Zhou?" ”
"I like her."
My father's face changed and changed, he looked at Xu Yijin again, and said with a smile: "Don't make fun of me, my daughter is already married, and you know this." ”
Liu Shichen said: "I can wait for them to divorce. ”
Everyone at the table was a little embarrassed.
It wasn't until the time was almost up, when the host gave a speech on stage, that the attention of the big guy was diverted.
My dad glanced at me with a blaming look in his eyes.
He blamed me for lying to him and hiding my relationship with Liu Shichen.
This banquet was very large, and almost all the characters with heads and faces were invited.
Unexpectedly, I saw many Taoist priests from Changsheng Mountain at the scene.
They didn't wear robes, they were all dressed in formal attire, and they were not so conspicuous in the crowd. I've seen a few of them, so I recognized them right away.
I asked Xu Yijin with my eyes.
Liu Shichen sat between me and him, and it was not easy to talk.
He looked back at me with a smile in his eyes, but I couldn't figure out what that looked meant.
The host talked to himself on the stage for about 20 minutes, and Lin Lin, the protagonist of this banquet, finally appeared.
Seeing him this time, almost none of the people present recognized him.
He was so thin that all he had left was a skeleton.
Lin Lin's face was dry, his cheeks were sunk into the bones, the moisture on his body seemed to be sucked dry, and the green tendons could be seen clearly, without the slightest sense of flesh.
When all the people saw him, they would only have one thought.
Life is not long.
Even a sick man like Zhou Mingchuan looks much better than him.
Lin Lin stood in the center of the venue, looking like he was hanging down and old, as if a gust of wind could blow him away at this time.
The door to the hall was suddenly shut, the lights in the hall were extinguished, and the complaints came one after another.
I only felt that someone was pushing behind me, and the whole person's center of gravity was unstable, so I threw myself forward, and a pair of hands caught me steadily and took me into my arms.
"Don't be afraid." The person who hugged me was Liu Shichen.
I glanced sideways, and Xu Yijin was standing beside him.
"I'm sorry, there was a sudden power outage, let's go upstairs to rest, there is a guest room upstairs." Father Lin shouted loudly.
This reason is too far-fetched.
It's a big banquet, and you won't be able to handle this little thing.
But there was no other way at the moment, and the waiters all had flashlights in their hands, leading the crowd upstairs. Some people said that they wanted to leave, but the people of the Lin family refused to let them go at all, and completely blocked this place.
Xu Yijin and Liu Shichen hugged me upstairs, picked a guest room where no one was there, and locked the door.
"What are the people of the Lin family going to do?" I asked Liu Shichen.
Even if he is not from the Lin family, after all, he also has a marriage contract with Lin Yan, and he shouldn't know what the Lin family is going to do.
Liu Shichen lit a candle prepared in advance, and the dancing flames shook the shadows on his face, and he said: "I happened to hear the venue staff here say that the power will be cut off today, and I don't know about the rest." ”
Xu Yijin sat down beside me, unhurriedly stroked the ends of my hair, and said, "This is to transfer flowers and trees, and the people of the Lin family should have been planning for a long time." This piece of banquet hall was arranged into a position, and the purpose was to sacrifice others and save Lin Lin. ”
"Be careful." I'm in the clouds.
"You can also see Lin Lin's physical state, he is not sick, but he is entangled by ghosts." Xu Yijin stated: "Today's banquet is to let the things on his body find a new purpose. ”
I didn't seem to understand, and asked, "Then it's enough to sacrifice one person, why do you call so many of us?" The people who can come here are either rich or expensive, and if things get bigger, it's not good for their Lin family, is it? ”
"Not everybody gets caught up in something unclean. The Lin family is treating us as a menu and letting that thing pick. ”
That's when I got some of it.
For the sake of Lin Lin, the Lin family even did not hesitate to offend so many powerful people at once.
"I saw the Taoist priests of Immortal Mountain, do they have anything to do with this matter?" I asked.
"I don't know what those Taoist priests think." Xu Yijin smiled meaninglessly: "Probably won't be a good thing." ”
He lay flat on the bed, ignoring Liu Shichen's gaze, patted the pillow beside him, and said, "It's been a day, do you want to sleep for a while?" ”
Without waiting for me to react, Liu Shichen lay down beside him, separated from him by some distance, and smiled harmlessly: "It's just a little sleepy, if you don't mind, I'll sleep here." ”
Xu Yijin was not annoyed, he reached out and pulled me, and I fell on the bed and lay between the two people.
The atmosphere was rather stiff.
Both men looked at me, and I had been stared at for a long time, and my ears were getting hot.
I wanted to speak to break the silence when I suddenly heard the sound of a rattle bell in the hallway outside the door, methodically, from far and near.
"Ho, the Lin family is too anxious, they can't wait as soon as it's dark." Xu Yijin sneered.
