Chapter 22 Destiny and Wish
Hearing Lao Chai Tou say this, my father frowned: "It seems that Xiao Zhang was also deceived by her." ”
Until now, my dad still doesn't want to doubt Xiao Zhang.
Lao Chai snorted sullenly and said, "He wasn't deceived, do you remember the incident of human traffickers in the county a while ago?" ”
My dad didn't speak, just looked at Lao Chai Tou. Lao Chai Tou said this, anyone can guess that the matter of human traffickers is probably related to Xiao Zhang.
Lao Chai took a sip of wine, and then said: "Don't you want to think about it, Xiao Zhang and Mrs. Li have no relatives and no reason, why should people help him?" The trafficker in the county is that Xiao Zhang, he and Mrs. Li were originally in a gang, he abducted the child from outside, and finally sent it to Mrs. Li's house. ”
My dad silently lit a cigarette and still didn't speak, while my mom couldn't help but ask Lao Chai Tou: "But what does that old lady want so many children for?" ”
"What she wants is the blood of these children." Lao Chai Tou glanced at me inadvertently when he spoke, and said to my parents: "It stands to reason that I shouldn't have said these things, but since they are related to Yangyang, I won't hide them from you." Mrs. Li is going to use the essence blood of these children to feed the powerful ghost she refined, and Xiao Zhang deceived you here at the beginning, just for the pure yang blood on Yang Yang's body. ”
As Lao Chai Tou spoke, I saw my mother's body tremble violently, and my father's eyes widened, and his eyes were full of fear.
But before Lao Chai Tou's words were finished, he continued: "I said a long time ago that Yangyang's physique is special and it is easy to provoke evil spirits. But the most terrible thing in this world is not evil, but the sinister human heart. The essence blood on Yang Yang's body, as long as it is used properly, can not only refine the fierce ghost into a fierce god, but also make the living corpse into a ghost. Do you remember that flying stiff a few months ago? ”
When Lao Chai Tou said this, he didn't mean to intimidate anyone, and there was also a deep concern in his tone.
My parents fell silent, and the air suddenly became very heavy.
I didn't know what I thought at the time, so I asked thoughtlessly: "Grandpa Chai, are you at Mrs. Li's house, did you see her daughter?" ”
Lao Chai said sullenly: "The powerful ghost that Mrs. Li refined is her daughter, and I don't know how much suffering her daughter experienced before she died...... Alas, the tiger poison does not eat children, and the human heart is sinister! ”
After a long period of silence, Lao Chai Tou drank all the liquor alone before he said to my father drunkly: "Patriotic, this time, I'm afraid you still have to move." I've already found a place, it's in the family home of the Local Taxation Bureau opposite Beishi Elementary School, and it just so happens that the matter of Chaofenshan has been dealt with almost as well, and I plan to move there, and I live next door to your house. In this way, it can be regarded as a response to Yangyang. ”
My dad silently raised his head and looked at Lao Chai Tou, my dad is not good at talking, but everything he thinks is written on his face. At that time, my dad's eyes were full of gratitude, but there was also a bit of unspeakable embarrassment.
I know that this time, our family really didn't have the money to move.
Lao Chai Tou also understood the situation of our family, waved his hand at my father, and said: "I know, the efficiency of your factory has not been good over the years, plus Yangyang was sick and hospitalized a few years ago, and the family has no money, right?" Don't look at the old man like me, but I don't lack money...... Yangyang Dad, don't refuse, at this time, face or something, it's not important, the important thing is the child. ”
My dad was silent, and after a long time, he nodded silently.
Lao Chai Tou smiled, stretched out his hand to touch my head again, and said meaningfully: "Now, I can still protect Yangyang from any mistakes, but it is not a long-term solution after all, I am old, I am afraid that it will be more than ten years......"
Halfway through the words, Lao Chai Tou sighed and didn't say any more. My parents looked at Lao Chai Tou with some concern, but after all, no one said anything.
Late at night, Lao Chai Tou got up to say goodbye. My dad originally wanted to leave Lao Chai Tou at home for the night, but Lao Chai Tou said that there were still some things that had not been dealt with in the Mass Grave Mountain, and he was not there at night, so it would be a mess if he didn't get it.
Seeing that he couldn't keep it, my father took me with my mother and sent Lao Chai Tou out.
During this period, I always felt that my dad had something on his mind, and several times he wanted to open his mouth to speak, but he only opened his mouth and didn't say a word.
It wasn't until Lao Chai Tou pushed open the door and was about to go out that my dad suddenly shouted: "Uncle Chai! ”
At that time, my dad really shouted, as if otherwise, he couldn't say the words he held in his heart.
Lao Chai Tou turned his head to look at my dad: "What's wrong?" ”
My dad pushed me hard behind my back and pushed me to Lao Chai Tou, and then I listened to my dad say, "Call master!" ”
As soon as these words came out, I was stunned, my mother was also stunned, Lao Chai Tou first glanced at my father, and then showed an expression of surprise on his face, I felt that Lao Chai Tou was trying to hold back his laughter, but the smile was uncontrollable, like a flower on his face slowly unfolded.
My dad said what he had been trying to say tonight, and seemed to be much more relaxed, and pushed me again: "Call the master." ”
Lao Chai Tou hurriedly waved his hand at my father, and said with that uncontrollable smile on his face: "Hey, don't worry, don't worry." Let's wait for the move, and then talk about it when we move, hehehehehe. ”
While speaking, the old firewood head went out and walked away like a gust of wind.
At that time, I was still wondering, didn't Lao Chai Tou always want to accept me as an apprentice, why did the apprentice send me to the door, and he ran away again? As soon as I think of this, I am worried that Lao Chai Tou does not want to accept me, but I really want to be an apprentice to Lao Chai Tou, maybe he will accept me, and I will have the opportunity to see what the outside world is like.
It wasn't until soon after I learned that the matter of accepting apprentices was absolutely intolerable for Lao Chai Tou, and even keeping the right line of accepting apprentices was an extremely important event for the entire Soul Village.
On the one hand, the ceremony of accepting disciples is very grand, and the people of the Soul Village must participate, and on the other hand, it is very secretive, except for the people of the Soul Village, they must not let outsiders know.
It is precisely for this reason that Lao Chai Tou let us place the new home in the family courtyard of the Local Taxation Bureau, last year the Local Taxation Bureau just built a new family building, and now the old family home has not yet moved in, our family and Lao Chai Tou these two households, it has become the only two households in the family home, we moved the day, even the janitor of the family home did not go to work as usual.
The day of moving is set on the Chung Yeung Festival, which also happens to be my birthday.
I remember that year's Chung Yeung Festival was supposed to be around November of the solar calendar, and when the weather turned cooler, I wore a big red sweater that my mother had knitted for me.
My mother said that today is my big day, so I should dress red and be auspicious.
At that time, I was still a little puzzled, didn't it just move, how did it become my "big day"?
The family home of the local taxation bureau is very close to Beishi Elementary School, and it is only a five-minute walk from the family home to the school, but Liu Shangang's father still drove to the school gate to pick me up and Liu Shangang.
I don't even know when Liu Shangang and his father met Lao Chai Tou.
As the car drove into the family home, I saw a lot of people standing on the side of the road, and as soon as we entered the hospital, these people were pointing at our van.
I vaguely heard a few people my age saying, "Uncle Xiao is in that car." ”
At that time, I never reacted to who the little uncle in their mouths was.
When Liu Shangang and his father drove the car to the mouth of the alley, I saw a well-dressed young man standing not far away waving to us.
I got out of the car, and the young man came up and took me by the arm and walked down the alley.
He has a gentle temperament that makes people very close, his palms are very hot, and I can feel the temperature of his palms through several layers of clothes, but this heat not only makes people feel hot but not dry, but also faintly gives me a different feeling of reassurance.
I was dragged into the alley by him, and I wanted to ask him who he was, but I didn't say anything, not because I was shy, but because I felt that as soon as I opened my mouth, I would disturb his peace.
Unexpectedly, he took the initiative to speak: "My name is Zhuang Youxue, you can call me Senior Brother in the future, or you can call me Senior Brother Zhuang." ”
His voice was low, but with a cordiality and gentleness that didn't feel contrived in the slightest.
I nodded and asked him, "Are you also Grandpa Chai's apprentice?" ”
Senior Brother Zhuang turned around and smiled at me: "Chai Zhangmen is my uncle, hehe, you can't call 'Grandpa Chai, Grandpa Chai' in the future, after today, you will be the one who keeps the right line, and Chai Zhangmen will be your master in the future." ”
What? Is Lao Chai Tou the head?
Hearing Senior Brother Zhuang's words, my first reaction was surprise, at that time, my understanding of the word "head" was still limited to martial arts dramas on TV, although I didn't know what kind of role the head of the sect would play, anyway, he should be a very powerful and powerful person.
It wasn't until later that I realized that in our lineage, including Master and I, there were only three of us.
Senior Brother Zhuang took me into a courtyard not far from the entrance of the alley, and there were many people gathered in the courtyard, and when they saw Senior Brother Zhuang, they all respectfully shouted "Senior Brother", but these people seemed to be about the same age as my father.
Entering the house, there were also a lot of people in the living room, but the people outside were standing, and the people inside were all sitting on the Taishi chair, after Senior Brother Zhuang entered the house, he had to give them a "senior uncle" to hug their hands, I followed behind Senior Brother Zhuang in a daze, and found that the people in the room were looking at me with a very pleasant look, as if my arrival was a very happy thing for them.
