Time passed so quickly, and the light in the living room had dimmed as he spoke.

Xu Shoujun slowly stood up.

His back was visibly bent, his legs apart, and he seemed to be shaking.

At this time, he is not like a lifelong martial arts practitioner, but more like a dying old man with a bleak background.

Cheng Zhong also stood up and followed Xu Shoujun downstairs.

Dinner is "Qingcheng Noodles".

This is a traditional local pasta dish.

Zhao Ying is from the plateau and is not very good at making noodles.

But Xu Shoujun had already prepared the cheeks and stored them in a basin, and with Xu Long by his side, it was much easier to do.

The side dishes are very simple.

A pickled cabbage, a salted wild shallot, a vinegar-soaked artichoke, and a cold pork ear.

They are all cold dishes that go well with rice, and there are no hot dishes.

Everyone was eating long noodles "whirring", and the atmosphere was a little dull, which was normal.

After the meal, Cheng Zhong proposed that he wanted to be active in the yard.

Xu Shoujun, Xu Long, and Li Qiang also followed to the courtyard.

It was dark outside, with no lights.

There were piles of rags everywhere on all sides, and there was a faint musty smell.

When Cheng Zhong was thinking about how to stay at night, Xu Shoujun bent down, put his mouth to his ear, and whispered:

"You and I stay on the first floor at night. Let's go inside, it's too cold outside. ”

The entrance to the basement level is very hidden.

When Xu Shoujun activated the mechanism in front of Cheng Zhong without any scruples and opened a secret door on the wall, Cheng Zhong felt a little surprised.

This shows that Xu Shoujun is no longer ready to keep any secrets from him.

At the same time, it also shows that it is impossible for him to leave this house freely.

Xu Shoujun seemed to lead relatives from afar, and politely took Cheng Zhong down to the basement floor and entered the bedroom.

The bedroom is large with two luxurious double beds.

Xu Shoujun motioned to Cheng Zhong, and the two of them took off their coats and cotton hats and hung them on the coat rack of rosewood.

The interior is warm like spring.

The delicate fireplace exudes pleasant heat, and the faint scent of sandalwood wafts into Cheng Zhong's nose.

Sitting on the soft bed, leaning on the comfortable head of the bed, Cheng Zhong wanted to read a book for a while at the moment.

Only then did I remember that my old schoolbag should be in the hands of the red in the snow for a while.

And the novel he is obsessed with, "King Kong", should still be in the tent hotel.

"Will Xue Liancheng meet Xue Lihong smoothly?

Will Xue Lihong believe him?

After they connect, will Xue Lihong be able to find my whereabouts?"

Cheng Zhong asked silently in his heart.

"None of these links can go wrong. Otherwise, I'm really dead!" he thought.

"Hmph, why do you want to do so much, it's all here, everything is left to fate!" he thought again.

At this time, Xu Shoujun was also leaning against the head of the other bed.

But he didn't feel a trace of sleepiness, and he repeatedly pondered in his mind how to use Chengzhong, the last and most critical "chess piece".

"Cheng Shaoxia, now I completely regard you as my own, and you also know a lot of things about me, you see...... Would you like to consider joining my 'One X Path'?"

Xu Shoujun asked suddenly.

Cheng Zhong was startled and almost jumped out of bed.

"Well...... I never thought about it yet.

Because...... When it comes to the question of faith, I would like to ...... I think it's better to be cautious. ”

Cheng Zhong was full of stomach looking for a reason to shirk, and his words were not coherent to deal with it.

"'One X Dao' is over, and it's understandable that you don't want to join.

Actually, I'm thinking about how to prove your sincerity. ”

Xu Shoujun continued.

"Sect Master, I took the initiative to come to you, and I have already proved my sincerity.

As for what to do next, now is a question for you to consider, as an adult, as me, just try my best to cooperate. ”

Cheng Zhong said.

"It seems that I thought it was too simple before, thinking that as long as I found Shaoxia, I could find a way to enter the 'Wolf Domain'.

Now, I know that you haven't even touched the entrance to the 'Wolf Domain' yourself.

In this case, it will take a lot of work.

However, the government and Tibetan Buddhism are closely pressed, and I certainly don't have much time left.

Alas, what should we do?"

Xu Shoujun frowned, and said with a sigh.

This is exactly what Cheng Zhong wants.

He had already thought in his heart that he only needed to delay the time, wait for Xue Lihong to find him, and arrest Xu Shoujun and the others.

So, of course, he wouldn't really help Xu Shoujun with any ideas.

"I'm young, so there's no good way, it's all up to the sect leader's arrangement. ”

Cheng Zhong whispered.

After a pause, Xu Shoujun got down from the bed, approached Cheng Zhong's bedside, stared into his eyes and said:

"If you take me to the Slender Wolf, your good friend, it ...... What will happen?"

"Is this...... I can't say it's good.

Maybe with me, it won't attack you directly.

But if I want to say that I want to agree to your request, I am afraid that I will not be able to do it for a while. ”

This time, Cheng Zhong really helped Xu Shoujun analyze, and there was no element of deception.

Xu Shoujun also agrees with Cheng Zhong's analysis.

"Alas......"

He sighed, took Cheng Zhong's hand, and motioned for Cheng Zhong to get out of bed.

Cheng Zhong didn't know what to do, so he had to stand up.

Xu Shoujun pushed open a double bed and opened a secret door behind the head of the bed.

Then he took the lead and bent down to get in.

Cheng Zhong followed.

The two entered the dark passage one after another, and walked forward in a zigzag way for a long time.

With a "bar", the electric light in a secret room was turned on.

At that moment, Cheng Zhong's mouth opened wide and he couldn't close it for a long time......

In the eyes, gold and jade reflect each other, and the jewels are magnificent.

All kinds of rare treasures were piled up like a hill, and the gold bars alone filled half of the walls.

Cheng Zhong is still young and not deeply involved in the world, how can he imagine that one person can gather such a huge amount of wealth.

Master Sanji once said that "one X way" likes to collect wealth the most.

Xu Shoujun also recounted his experience.

Coupled with what he saw after entering the Xu Mansion, Cheng Zhong knew that Xu Shoujun must be very rich.

However, when these gold bars, jade, precious stones, jade, pearls, famous watches, and many treasures that he did not know were all placed in front of him, it still strongly shocked Cheng Zhong's heart.

Xu Shoujun observed Cheng Zhong's reaction from the side, slightly surprised.

He saw the wonder in the boy's eyes, but not the greed in the boy's eyes.

"Hahaha......"

Xu Shoujun suddenly burst into laughter.

He walked over, stroking the gold bars with his hands, and stroking the precious jade.

Like an amorous man, caressing his beloved women who are as beautiful as flowers hidden in the secret palace, his mouth can't stop letting out lewd and satisfied chuckles.

"Hehe, haha, Cheng Zhong Shaoxia, what is in front of you is my life savings, I believe you have never dreamed of it.

As a man, with so much wealth, he can buy a city, he can buy an army, and he can buy countless young women.

I can't spend this money in a few lifetimes!

Tell me, what else do I need?"

His bloodshot eyes widened as he asked Cheng Zhong like a madman.

"Sect Master, money is such a good thing, I like it too!"

Cheng Zhong didn't want to think about where the money came from at this time, nor did he want to argue about any moral issues tastelessly, so he nodded and spoke along Xu Shoujun's thoughts.

"It turns out that young heroes also like money, so it's easy to say.

If...... If you help me enter the 'Wolf Domain', these ...... These will all be yours. ”

Xu Shoujun drew a large circle with his fingers, encompassing everything in front of him.

Cheng Zhong looked at these treasures seriously, and did not say a word for a long time.

"This secret room, God knows, you know and I know, even Xu Long doesn't know. ”

Xu Shoujun added.

Cheng Zhong pondered for a long time, and suddenly changed the topic and said:

"Sect Master, there are some things that I don't know if I should say or not?"

"Shaoxia, but it doesn't hurt to say it. It's best if we both open our hearts in this secret room tonight!"

"Actually, according to the boy, adults are smart and strong. Just ......"

"Just how?"

"At a critical juncture in your life, you made the wrong choice. ”

"I want to hear about it. ”

"If you escaped from Shaolin back then, you didn't go to Wuhan, but to Chongqing or Yan'an......"

“......”

"If you had joined the Communist Party instead of the 'One X Way', your fate would have been completely different.

Maybe...... You are now the presence that everyone looks up to. ”

Cheng Zhong's eyes were shining, staring at Xu Shoujun and said.

Xu Shoujun paused, chuckled, and said in an appreciative tone:

"Ahh

You have such insight at such a young age, and a simple sentence made the old man suddenly think through many things. ”

"I'm just telling the truth. ”

"I have a lot of truth to tell you tonight, I want to tell you!"

"Sect Master, please speak, I will listen to you. ”

"The longest life in the world is not more than a hundred years.

The old man took the wrong path when he was young, but he has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for decades, killing many people who should and should not be killed, and doing a lot of earth-shattering or hurtful things.

Today, I am 66 years old, and it is a miracle that I am still alive and well!

Let's be honest, my heart is content.

I am truly grateful to God for not killing, and I am truly grateful to the ancestors and ancestors for their blessing!

What else do you have on your mind...... The only flaw in the old man's life is that he has no queen!"

Xu Shoujun looked at Cheng Zhong with a somewhat strange gaze, and said uncertainly.

"Isn't there Xu Long?"

"Xu Long, alas, he is not the son of the old man, but the son of a pair of classmates. ”

"The son of a classmate?"

"Yes, his parents were my classmates and best friends when I was in Japan, and they knew me too well.

After the Anti-Japanese War, in order to take refuge in safety and not be tracked down by the government, I was ruthless and killed these two people.

Later, he felt ashamed, so he brought his only son back to his hometown and raised him as an adult. ”

"I see!"

Cheng Zhong tried to suppress his anger, and his tone became very cold.

"When I was younger, I was in love with a woman and had a daughter with her.

But his wife strongly objected to the 'One X Way'.

Due to the huge difference in beliefs, it ended up going their separate ways.

Daughter...... My daughter also died of illness at a young age......"

Speaking of this, the hard-hearted Xu Shoujun had tears in his eyes.

To cover up, he slowly turned his back and squatted on the ground.

"Alas...... Oh...... How is that!" Cheng Zhong muttered to himself.

He is a teenager who loves and hates clearly, and he is also a teenager with a very soft heart.

Listening to Xu Shoujun speak, he gritted his teeth just now, hating it very much.

In the blink of an eye, there was sympathy and pity, and he sighed repeatedly.

Xu Shoujun turned around again, his face pale.

Although he was already choked, he gritted his teeth and continued:

"The young man is courageous and compassionate, he is really an excellent boy who has only seen in the old man's life!

The old man was reckless and reckless, and now he is forced by the general trend, and he has undoubtedly reached the point of defeat.

In the last days of his life, he had to meet such a genius as a young man, and he appreciated it very much!

Old man...... The old man is bold, and there is a reluctant ......"

"Sect Master, please speak. ”

Cheng Zhong saw Xu Shoujun's humble attitude, and listened to his voice trembling, a little unbearable, and said casually.

"If so...... Cheng Zhong Shaoxia, take pity on me at this time, and be willing to call me grandpa.

Later...... Qingming season...... Ken in my ...... Burn a piece of paper money at the grave.

I...... I don't think about where you stand.

This house, money, and treasure — and I don't want to hand it over to the government — is all yours. ”

After finishing all the things he wanted to say with difficulty, Xu Shoujun seemed to have exhausted his last bit of strength, and he had run out of oil, leaned against the corner of the wall, and closed his eyes.

Hearing this, Cheng Zhong's eyes turned red.

To be honest, the person in front of him has done absolutely bad things in his life and killed countless people, which can be regarded as heinous and heinous crimes for the nation and the country.

He died immediately, and Cheng Zhong also felt that he deserved it.

However, when a bird is dying, its song is also mourning, and when a man is dying, his words are also good.

Since the meeting, this old man has always been honest and courteous to him.

Now that he has said these words, it shows that in the last stage of his life, he still has a trace of the simplicity and authenticity of human nature.

Regardless of whether it should be or not, whether it is right or not, Cheng Zhong's tears still flow out wildly.

"Grandpa Scream...... This...... It's not hard, I can promise you.

If you die, I'm ...... I can take care of the aftermath for you.

In the future, every year Qingming, you can also ...... Burn paper on the grave!"

Although Cheng Zhong was unwilling, his body had already walked over involuntarily, and his knees were already kneeling in front of Xu Shoujun.

"Good...... Good...... Good ......"

Xu Shoujun seemed to have taken a shot in the arm, opened his eyes suddenly, and burst into tears in an instant.

I don't know if it's tears or sweat, the ditches and ditches on his face are all filled with water for a while.

He was in tears and trying to laugh, but he made a strange expression.

He couldn't say anything else, just nodded his head again and again, repeating the word "good".

After that, he hugged Cheng Zhong in his arms.

One old and one young, like a pair of neurotic patients, leaned against a room full of gold and silver treasures, tears flowed down their ......
