Come back? When he said this, I felt like a homeless child who had been away from home for many years, and now he was back to his hometown.

But before yesterday, I hadn't heard of any old ladies at all.

In any case, since I came, there was no reason for me to leave halfway, and I also wanted to know what kind of people my relatives who had never been masked.

I took a deep breath and said to him, "No matter what, I have to figure out why my parents are missing." ”

Tong Dong was stunned for a moment, then looked at Sun Chuansheng, and Sun Chuansheng nodded at him: "I told him." ”

Then he turned to me again: "Looks like you've made up your mind." ”

As he spoke, he smiled: "Good personality, much stronger than your grandfather." ”

"My grandfather?"

He nodded, "Yes." He happened to be away from home for the past two days, and he didn't know anything about your return. I'm going to leave him alone and surprise him when he returns. ”

I couldn't help but wonder, "But when I was very young, my dad told me that my grandfather had passed away." ”

Hearing my words, he frowned fiercely, but after that, he didn't say anything more, just waved at me and Sun Chuansheng, and walked towards the depths of the alley.

I looked at Sun Chuansheng, and Sun Chuansheng quietly made a lip shape: "Don't ask more." ”

We followed Tong Dong through seven or eight paths, and finally came to an old ancestral hall, where a plaque hung directly above the entrance of the hall, on which two large characters were painted with gold paint: ancestral hall.

Although the ancestral hall looks old, the gold paint on the plaque is very bright, and it is obvious that it has been repainted not long ago.

When I was about to reach the entrance of the hall, I stopped and pointed to the threshold more than a foot high and said to me, "You have to think about it, as long as you step on it, you will not be able to get out in this life." ”

At that time, I didn't fully understand the meaning of these words, but I glanced into the ancestral hall, and I saw that the entire lobby was thirty or forty square meters, and there were two small doors on the wall facing the entrance of the hall.

Could it be that after I enter this hall, my family will let me guard the ancestral hall for the rest of my life and never let me come out?

This kind of thing is unlikely to happen, even if they want to put me under house arrest here, I have a mobile phone with me, as long as I call the police, wouldn't it be the same to get out well?

It wasn't until soon that I realized that what I said about "can't get out" meant that once I entered the door of the family, I would fall into the quagmire of family strife and never be able to pull out my legs.

But I really didn't think about it that much at the moment, and I didn't respond to Dong Dong's words, so I raised my foot directly and crossed the threshold.

Just as I stepped into the hall with one foot, I heard Sun Chuansheng say outside the door: "Once you enter the hall, the door is as deep as the sea, this is also fate." ”

It wasn't until my whole body crossed the threshold that I jumped into the hall like a gust of wind and shouted into the lobby: "Are all things ready?" ”

Immediately, someone came out of the back room.

The temperature outside reached thirty-eight degrees, and the hall was very stuffy, and the temperature was probably higher than outside, but this person was wearing a thick Tang costume.

He quickly walked up to him and whispered a few words in his ear.

He waved his hand at him: "Don't talk about these useless things, the uncle is not here, I have the final say now." Have you prepared everything you have prepared? ”

The man first nodded at the second master, then turned sideways and gave me a smile: "You are the kid of the Fengyu family?" ”

I nodded at him: "My name is Zhang Ruofei." ”

He scratched his head and asked me, "Did I hear me right, did you just say 'Zhang'?" ”

Sun Chuansheng explained for me: "After my eldest brother disappeared, if I hadn't been living with my second brother and had taken my second brother's surname. ”

Tong Dong waved his hand to the people present: "Time is precious, don't chat." Liyan, you take you to the back hall and test everything that should be measured. ”

The man, whom he called "Liyan", immediately grabbed me by the wrist and led me towards the back room.

When he was about to enter the door, he said to me again: "My name is Yu Liyan, and I happen to be one round older than you. ”

Fourteenth uncle? In other words, not counting my father, before him, I have at least twelve uncles.

I was also curious, so I asked him, "Are there a lot of people in the old family?" ”

He smiled at me and responded: "Our old family is one of the six great families in the industry, and there are more than 100 people in your generation alone. If I'm not mistaken, you're in the twenty-third rank of your peers. ”

As he spoke, he closed the curtain and turned on the light in the room.

At this time, I realized that this inner room was more open than the lobby outside, and in the northwest corner of the room was a large wooden basin, with a chair in the center of the room, and some knives hanging on the armrests of the chair, and a large wooden table next to the east wall, on which were all kinds of Chinese herbs, as well as a brass mortar and medicine pot.

There was a strong smell of Chinese medicine in the air.

He pointed to the big wooden basin in the corner and said, "Let's go take a bath first." ”

Why did you let me take a shower as soon as you came in?

I looked at him suspiciously, and he didn't explain, but just said to me: "Go, don't delay, the second master's time is very precious." Then he ran to the big wooden table to gather herbs.

I smelled my body, I had sweated all day yesterday, and I didn't take a shower at night, and I was full of sour smell.

He asked me to take a shower, probably because the next thing to do was more important, and I needed to clean my body first.

Thinking of this, I didn't hesitate any longer, hastily took off my clothes, and went straight into the wooden basin.

The water in the basin is obviously filled, and there is a refreshing fragrance inside, and the water temperature has been adjusted to a comfortable state.

I immersed myself in the water, and I felt that something was burrowing into my body along the pores of my body, and my blood was alive and unspeakably comfortable.

He threw a handful of herbs into the mortar, smashed them little by little with a small hammer, and turned to look at me again.

When he looked at me, I also leaned against the edge of the tub and watched him handle the herbs, and as soon as I looked at him, he frowned: "Aren't you sleepy?" ”

I said, "I'm not sleepy, I don't know what's going on, but after entering the water, I always feel very energetic." ”

"No, it is said that people who take a medicinal bath for the first time are so sleepy that they can't open their eyes, why are you getting more and more energetic."

As he spoke, he slowly approached me with the mortar in his arms.

I quickly leaned forward, blocked my vital parts with my hands, and looked at him vigilantly: "What are you going to do?" ”

He was immediately happy: "Add some ingredients to you." You're really, what are you blocking, a rough man, who rarely looks at you. ”

As he spoke, he turned the mortar over and poured all the pieces of herbs into the water.

The medicine had an unbearable burnt smell that completely masked the original fragrance once it was in the water.

I asked him, "What is this thing, and why does it smell so bad?" ”

He moved a chair and sat down in front of me, and then said to me with a smile: "This is a good thing, the ordinary children of the family are not as lucky as you, just entered the house, all the precious medicinal materials are used." It seems that the second master attaches great importance to you. ”

Strange to say, when he poured the mushy residue into the water, I felt a fever in my abdomen, and my whole body seemed to be full of strength.

"Our old family is from a military family, and it is divided into four veins according to the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter," Yu Liyan continued to say to me: "The people of the spring character pulse can watch the stars and ask the moon, and the summer character pulse is in charge of martial arts exercises, I am the person of the summer character pulse, the autumn character pulse is in charge of grain and money flowing clouds, and the winter word pulse is in charge of devouring and protecting the handsome." Which vein are you going to join? ”

I don't understand what he's talking about.

Yu Liyan didn't intend to explain more to me, and continued: "The crafts of spring, summer, and winter are all children's skills, and they must be practiced from a very young age. You start late, spring and summer two veins don't have to be considered, now, you can choose one of the autumn word veins and winter word veins, but the winter word vein is very strict when selecting people, even if you enter this vein, maybe one day you will be kicked out by the second master, so I still recommend that you choose the autumn word vein. ”

I scratched my head: "No...... Didn't you just say that what kind of winter character pulse is practicing Tongzi Gong, I started late, can I still choose this pulse? And what you just said, why can't I understand it? ”

Yu Liyan pulled a sharp knife from the chair, and said to me with a smile: "Our Xia Zimai is in charge of exercise, when I saw you just now, I could see at a glance that your martial arts skills are very good, you should have practiced since childhood, right?" ”

I nodded, and he continued: "Since the second master values you so much, I'll tell you about the Dongzi vein, the so-called devouring Baoshuai, that is, in ancient times, the Dongzimai was mainly responsible for protecting the main general and executing. Oh, devouring, it's one of the sixty-four hexagrams, and you can study it when you have time. ”

I asked him, "What about Qiuzimai, what do they do?" ”

Yu Liyan said: "The flow of grain and money, that is, the work done is similar to that of logistics, which is responsible for transporting baggage, grain, grass, and military salaries from all over the country before the army is mobilized. However, now the people of the Qiuzi family are mainly in charge of the various industries of the old family, and their line is the richest line of the old family, and they are all very rich. ”

Hearing him say this, I was tempted, I don't lack anything now, what I lack most is money, I need money to live, I need money to fall in love, Xiaowei needs money to go to school, and he still needs a lot of money when he gets married in the future.

If I had to choose, I would definitely choose this line.

Just thinking about this, I took my hand and slashed it on my thumb with a knife, and he hit it very hard, and the wound was deep enough to penetrate the bone, and I gasped in pain.

But the pain only lasted for a short time, and after two or three seconds, the wound first went numb, and then began to heal at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.

I looked at the wound on my hand and was speechless.

He stared at my wound for a moment, then quickly reached out, first pressed his fingers on the major artery in my neck, then pulled my hair open, looked at my scalp, and finally clenched his hand into a fist and pressed it against my collarbone.

After tossing back and forth for a while, he suddenly shouted in the direction of the door: "The meridians are abnormal!" This kid is born with a strange vein, second master, you have a descendant of the winter word vein! ”
