Chapter 7: Cause and Effect
At night, Ye Kui was taken under house arrest as a matter of course. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Considering Ye Kui's special ability, even the exhaust fans of the windows and toilets are equipped with anti-theft nets.
Ye Kui removed the exhaust fan, saw the iron mesh inside, and grinded his teeth fiercely. This is clearly prepared for a long time! Premeditated! In the end, he returned to bed weakly, and his whole body was curled up in the bed, sullen.
The Ragdoll cat that he left in Haicheng didn't know where to go around, jumped on the bed and pressed his paws on Ye Kui's head, as if to comfort him.
The Ragdoll sat down gently, its tail wagged, and a Russian blue cat with a relatively large body, gray hair all over its body, and a pair of blue eyes didn't know where it came from, and also jumped to Ye Kui's side and pushed his head against him.
Ye Kui then stuck his head out of the quilt.
"Now it's just the two of you who can speak." Ye Kui said faintly, he hugged the two cats and buried his face in the cat's hair.
The two cats, one gray and one white, put their faces on his head and seemed to say: No matter what happens, we will be with you.
Next, Ye Kui slept with the two cats in his arms for a day and two nights, and he didn't even have to eat......
Ye Kui's ability to sleep, the Fang family all knew that they had seen Ye Kui sleep for a week, without eating or drinking, and when he woke up, he was still alive. Grandpa Ye told them that Ye Kui's physique was special, and sleep was as important to him as air, and if anyone dared to disturb him sleeping, even Ye Kui's grandfather had suffered, so they didn't dare to interfere.
But fortunately, Ye Kui'an was divided, and the Fang family easily got him into the car to Fangjia Village in the north of Yue Province on the morning of the third day. When he woke up in a daze, he was fooled into a place he didn't want to come to.
In order to prevent Ye Kui from escaping again, Fang Jinyuan, who was spoofing Ye Kui, tied a rope around Ye Kui's neck, just like a rope for walking a dog outside, and when the car stopped, Ye Kui found that he had changed to a new environment, and when he was subconsciously about to escape, he was pulled back by Fang Jinyuan.
Of course, Fang Jinyuan was not spared a violent beating afterwards, fortunately his skin was rough and thick enough, otherwise it would be undignified to go to see the most respected old man in the village with a blue nose and swollen face.
Because he was going home, Fang Tianhui directly took Ye Kui to see his old son, saying that this was the righteous son who was going to be adopted, and he wanted to invite the old man to take a look.
Old Man Fang is nearly 70 years old, but he looks like a forty-year-old man in the prime of life. His face was full of red, his hair was all black, and there was only a subtle wrinkle at the corner of his eye, which slightly exposed his age.
When Ye Kui came to this village, he had already noticed that the people in the entire village were more or less practicing martial arts. He had heard before that Fangjia Village was originally a block of armed forces, at first it was a place where various folk martial arts practitioners lived, and then slowly married a big family surnamed Fang, assimilating the entire village into a surname, and this village without a name was renamed Fangjia Village.
And those martial arts practitioners, in the long river of history, have given a hodgepodge of their martial arts, all boiled into a pot, and slowly eliminated the drawbacks and deficiencies, forming the ancestral martial arts of the current Fang family - Fuliuquan.
Let's not mention the power of the willow fist here, because as soon as Ye Kui entered the village, he felt that the feng shui layout of this village was very unreasonable.
Because of the need to practice, the village is full of willow trees, and under the row of willow trees on the side of the road, there is a ditch about one meter wide, in which there is crystal clear water flowing through, and the aquatic plants under the water are very lush like a woman's hair, and the speed of the water flow is very fast, so that the whole village has echoes when the willow branches are blown by the wind, and the tinkling sound of the water.
The so-called mulberry is not planted in the front, and willow is not planted in the rear, the popular saying is that the mulberry of the mulberry tree is homophonic to "mourning", which means the loss of population, and the willow is not planted after the willow, which means that the willow tree is not planted in the backyard, the first willow tree does not bear fruit, which is understood as having no offspring, and the second is that the willow tree is yin, and the spiritualist props such as the mourning stick and the spiritualist banner are all made of willow wood, and the willow tree is easier to attract dirty things.
Although there are no mulberry trees in Fangjia Village, the willow trees in the village will normally cause abnormal accumulation of yin qi in the village, and the canal under the willow trees will promote the yin qi, so that the village must be often haunted and give people an eerie feeling.
But as soon as Fangjia Village hit Ye Kui in, he didn't feel the accumulation of yin qi, but instead had a feeling of relaxation when he came to a paradise. The air is fresh, and you can even feel a hint of warmth in the winter sun.
This attracted Ye Kui's attention, but he didn't have time to look at it before he was brought to Old Man Fang's side.
I have to say that Ye Kui's reaction was indeed a little lagging behind, but this was all a situation that would only happen in the Fang family. For example, he was inexplicably dragged to his home for dinner, inexplicably fooled to Guangcheng, and inexplicably arrested in Fangjia Village, and only then did he feel stupid in hindsight......
Because of this, Ye Kui was still thinking about the feng shui problem of Fangjia Village, and when he looked up suddenly, he saw a middle-aged man in his forties, sitting on the main seat of a hall with a majestic face, looking at himself carefully.
This middle-aged man was full of red light and sat upright, Ye Kui could see at a glance that he must also be a practitioner, and his cultivation was ridiculously high. Although his first reaction when he saw Old Man Fang was that he was just a middle-aged man, but in less than a second, he judged that the age of the man in front of him was definitely not young.
"Xiao Kui, this is Fang Jinyuan's grandfather, the current patriarch of Fangjia Village, you should also follow Fang Jinyuan to call grandpa." Fang Tianhui first saluted the old man Fang in front of him, and turned to Ye Kui.
Ye Kui came back to his senses at this time, and Fang Jinyuan, who was standing beside him, respectfully saluted the old man on the main throne and called "Grandpa". Only then did a smile appear on the majestic face of the old man on the main seat, his eyes softened a little, and he beckoned, asking Fang Jinyuan to stand beside him.
After Fang Jinyuan stood up, he looked Old Man Fang up and down, shook his hand again, and checked his cultivation before he nodded and returned his attention to Ye Kui.
Because Ye Kui was brought up by his grandfather, he still had respect for these elderly elders from the bottom of his heart, and he also bowed slightly and called "Hello grandpa".
"Hmm. You are Ye Kui, whom Ah Hui and Xiao Yuan often mention. Your grandfather is Ye Xiaoye's senior? Old Man Fang asked.
"Hmm." Ye Kui didn't speak, respect is respect, but he has to be careful, lest he be fooled again inexplicably. However, he also noticed that Old Man Fang actually called himself a grandfather's senior, which means that he thinks he is a junior, and it seems that he will not be too embarrassed by himself.
"Haha, although I have heard Ah Hui and Xiao Yuan say it, but listening to you admit it in person, my heart is also relaxed." Old Man Fang showed a kind smile, the majesty just now didn't seem to be used on Ye Kui.
"Ah Hui seems to have always wanted to adopt you as an adopted son, right?" Old Man Fang asked suddenly.
Ye Kui suddenly became vigilant, quickly glanced at Fang Tianhui, took half a step back, and was ready to slip away at any time.
"Don't be afraid. I know your scruples, thank you grandfather and grandson for helping the Fang family, and for the sake of the Fang family. Old Man Fang's face became a little serious, and he actually stood up and bowed slightly to Ye Kui.
Ye Kui was startled and hurriedly jumped to the side.
"Grandpa Fang, what are you doing! This is going to break my life! Ye Kui hurriedly shouted.
"Dad, yes, what are you ......" Fang Tianhui was also very curious why Old Man Fang actually gave such a big gift to Ye Kui.
"You know what!" Old Man Fang glared at Fang Tianhui, "If you don't know anything, you just make random decisions, if it weren't for the fact that I haven't agreed to you accepting Xiaokui as your adopted son for three years, I'm afraid the Fang family has been ruined by you!" ”
Fang Tianhui was stunned for a moment, he had raised this issue with his father for three years, but his father always pushed off for various reasons, but he didn't know that his father was so resistant at this time.
"But Dad! Xiao Kui is helpless, and he has also had financial problems recently, and he refuses to accept our help......" Fang Tianhui hurriedly said.
"Doesn't your mind think about anything other than how to do business? I'll go back and teach you a lesson. Old Man Fang glared at Fang Tianhui, and the latter didn't dare to speak.
"Xiaokui, thank you for taking care of the other party's family in the past few years, and thank you for not charging us a penny."
Ye Kui was stunned for a moment, and then he understood that Old Man Fang already knew why he was reluctant to enter the Fang family.
He shrugged his shoulders, "I can see the goodness of the Fang family." ”
The dialogue between the old and the young confused many people. Many relatives of the Fang family present were confused, and they wondered why the always majestic old man was talking so much nonsense with this junior today.
Only Ye Kui and Old Man Fang knew that they had only said half of what they said. The second half of the sentence is the point, but the two of them knew it and didn't say it.
"Although Fangjia Village is not big, it is enough for you to play. When the Chinese New Year comes, make this place your home and have a good time. Old Man Fang beckoned, Ye Kui walked over, he touched his hair, patted Fang Jinyuan and Ye Kui's backs at the same time, and drove the two juniors out.
When Fang Jinyuan and Ye Kui walked away, Fang Tianhui asked, "Dad, why don't you let me take Xiaokui as my adopted son?" ”
"How did I give birth to such an idiot as you!" The old man spoke calmly, and sat down to take a sip of tea. However, what he said directly frightened everyone in the hall into a rage.
Looking at Fang Tianhui's dazed and frightened appearance, Old Man Fang sighed.
"You, you've been a martial arts idiot since you were a child, you don't want to do anything, although you have a little business acumen when you grow up, why don't you have more deep thoughts?"
Finally, Old Man Fang, who had finished teaching his son, called all his close relatives in the lobby over and explained:
"Ye Xiao's predecessor was already very famous when we were young, he was an old expert in catching ghosts and driving away evil spirits, and his skills were superb, and many problems that others couldn't solve were easily solved in his hands.
"Ye Xiao's predecessor got married at the age of twenty-six and gave birth to two sons and a daughter, and seventeen years ago, the eldest son also got married and gave birth to another son, that is Xiaokui just now."
Speaking of this, Old Man Fang sighed, as if he felt deep pity for this senior.
On the day of the full moon of this grandson, the Ye family was suddenly attacked by someone, and the two sons, a daughter, and the eldest son's daughter-in-law were all killed overnight. Even the entire village where the Ye family settled was slaughtered. On the day of the incident, I heard that someone saw lightning and thunder on a sunny day in the Ye family's village, and there were many strange lights. ”
Fang Tianhui and Chen Xin, who heard this story for the first time, gasped fiercely.
"I heard that the Ye family was originally a famous family, but every few generations will encounter a catastrophe that is almost wiped out, and it began to fade out of the historical stage hundreds of years ago, and it is always alive behind people.
"And such a family has some kind of cause and effect, and looking at the strength of the cause and effect that they are almost wiped out, our small family can't afford it, if Ye Kui enters the Fang family, the Fang family will be connected to this cause and effect, and the result is that it is very likely that we are the end of the village where the Ye family settled seventeen years ago."
"Huh!?" Everyone was taken aback, but they didn't expect Ye Kui to turn out to be a lurking time bomb.
"Could it be that this is why Ye Kui refuses to enter our house?" Fang Tianhui finally understood the truth of the matter, "But why didn't he say it?" ”
"If he tells you that he doesn't want you to get hurt because of the karma he carries. Or maybe he took your money for nothing, and then at that time, you were already related to the cause and effect, so he couldn't say it. Old Man Fang explained.
"Now that we know, is that also cause and effect?" Chen Xin asked.
"No, cause and effect is a wonderful thing, and it has to be related to him to take effect. Everything I just said was my own idea, and I guessed it. This is my business, it's not that he said it and deliberately pulled us in, so it doesn't count as cause and effect. Old Man Fang sighed and said, "The child is still young, why did he let him do such a thing." ”
Ye Kui didn't care if the old man said anything important, anyway, the most important thing for him now was to find a way to throw the string of firecrackers in his hand into the chicken shed in the west of the village.
Fang Jinyuan had successfully bypassed the guards of the chicken coop and hung upside down on the beams of the chicken coop, approaching the chickens little by little. And Ye Kui was like a cat, biting the string of firecrackers in his mouth, and the whole person squatted in the narrow gap between the beams and the roof of the chicken coop. In this place, the outside guards are out of sight.
But he also couldn't see where the chickens were behind the wall, so what he had to do was to wait for Fang Jinyuan to successfully reach the top of the chickens, light the firecracker in his hand, throw it to Fang Jinyuan, and then Fang Jinyuan caught it and looked for the landing point.
This is a bit difficult, after all, it is still a little scary to catch a firecracker that has been lit. However, Ye Kui and Fang Jinyuan don't have this kind of scruples, both of them are practicing martial arts, and their throwing accuracy and receiving techniques are still relatively reliable.
Soon, Ye Kui saw Fang Jinyuan hooking his two legs on the beam, his whole body hanging upside down, and gestured to him, indicating that he was already in place.
Ye Kui quickly glanced at the guards of the two chicken coops outside, one was drinking tea, and the other was fiddling with the radio in his hand. Feeling that he was not in danger, he quickly brushed the beam under him with a match, lit the fuse, and threw the firecracker over with a dark thrower.
