Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Old Cat's Story (I)
When we returned to the apartment, it was already about afternoon, and Rhubarb was very excited, and kept asking me about the relevant things before and after "death", and the old cat looked calm. But I know he's excited about my return as well.
Rujun stayed to eat with us, which also made me realize that Rujun didn't have to eat. During the meal, I told them all the things that Chen Xuance had told me, and they looked at each other when they heard it, especially when I said that Xu Changge called the old cat, the old cat's whole face was already pale, and cold sweat kept flowing down.
Rujun looked at the old cat. asked: "Old cat, tell me the truth, what is the relationship between you and Xu Changge and the third grandfather?" Why did Xu Changge say that you were born in Beijing and moved to Guangdong with your mother 30 years ago, what is the connection between this? What do you have to do with the Xu family's blood sacrifice array in Fushouling thirty years ago? ”
The old cat probably knew that he couldn't shirk it this time, so he sighed, put down his chopsticks, and lit a cigarette again.
Although I was very unhappy with the old cat smoking at the dinner table, I couldn't help it. This old smoking gun always likes to light a cigarette when you want to tell the truth.
The old cat silently smoked a cigarette without saying a word. I couldn't help but be even more angry, this guy was trying to play us with all his heart.
Rujun always looked at him quietly, and did not rush to urge.
It's a pity that Rujun is patient, but Rhubarb is not patient, and when the old cat finishes smoking, Rhubarb can't help but knock him with chopsticks and say: "Old cat, you should say it quickly, we are in a hurry!" ”
The old cat lit another cigarette, lit it, and suddenly reached out and took something out of his pocket, threw it on the table, and said, "Look at this first." ”
I hurriedly took it and looked down. It turned out to be an ID card, with a photo of an old cat on it, when he was still quite young, and his name was written with three words: Xu Xue hate.
Xu Xue hated...... This is the fake ID card that Xu Changge gave you to buy a plane ticket? ”
The old cat glared at me. He took a puff of his cigarette and said, "It's not fake, it's true, it's true, it's true, my own ID card." ”
"Xu Xue hate? Old cat, your surname is Xu? I was shocked, and hurriedly handed my ID card to Wang Rujun, who looked at it and handed it to Rhubarb, who was already waiting on the side.
The old cat took another sip, nodded and said: "Yes, my surname is Xu, since Chen Xuance's treacherous and cunning thing has said everything, it is just such a link, I will not hide it from you today, and tell you directly, what he said is right, to deal with the Xu family, our current strength alone is far from enough, he wants to shoot the wolf, I also want to shoot the wolf, no matter whether we can become friends or not, this wolf, shoot it together first!" ”
As he spoke, the old cat slammed his fist on the table, causing the table to pop.
Rhubarb stared at the ID card, looked at the old cat stupidly, and asked: "The old cat, you are hiding too deeply, you are also surnamed Xu, Xu Changge is also surnamed Xu, the third grandfather...... Could it be that the surname is also Xu? ”
The old cat nodded and said, "Well, the three of us are not only surnamed Xu, but also have blood relations, Xu Changge and I are of the same generation, according to the seniority, I should also call him a cousin, and Mengyun has to call me an uncle." "Huge garbage on the island.
We were almost stupid, only Rujun remained calm and asked in a low voice: "That old cat, the poor man who was refined into a terrible ghost in Fushouling thirty years ago...... Who are you? ”
The old cat, or rather, Xu Xuehe lowered his head, took a puff of cigarette silently, and said, "It's my father, my father." ”
We immediately fell silent, and the atmosphere on the whole table suddenly became solemn, we didn't expect that the old cat would have such a deep hatred with the Xu family.
The old cat's father is the same as poor Haoran, in order to satisfy the interests of his family's underworld, but he must pay a terrible price, and make the people of the yang world miserable, I don't know how long such a cruel tradition has lasted between the four major families, but at least the old cat has endured a pain that we can't imagine.
"In this way, you are actually all part of the Xu family's vein in the yang world, but because your father was killed by the powerful ghosts in the underworld, you all broke away from the Xu family and set up another door, is that so?"
Rujun asked.
The old cat nodded, silently smoked a whole cigarette, and said: "Xu Changge is the son of my uncle, and the eldest grandson of my own grandfather, and he is the direct great-great-grandson of my grandfather in the Xu family, and the third grandfather is actually my third uncle, the third in line." My father is the second in line, the most evil in life, and he is a good seedling who is a powerful ghost. It's a pity that although my father's fate is evil, but he lived to be less than thirty years old, but he never died, and he is still alive, at this time, the Xu family needs a sedan chair man to come out, pick and choose, no one in the underworld is suitable, but my father is the most suitable, so those ghosts in the underworld combined, and actually arrested my father......"
Speaking of this, the old cat's eyes were slightly red, and he said: "My grandfather has worked hard for half a life, and the only thing he thinks about is these three sons. My uncle died early, and my cousin ...... That is, Xu Changge actually lost his father very early, so my grandfather loved the remaining two sons even more, as soon as he heard that my father was arrested, my grandfather didn't care about the order of the yang and the underworld, and immediately took his cousin Xu Changge and the third uncle, that is, the third grandfather, to Fushouling to work hard...... My grandfather has a very good temper, and he knows some friends who exorcise ghosts and ward off evil spirits, and that time he made a big fuss, and he even made a little famous, and the ghosts in the underworld of the Xu family even suffered some casualties...... Merely...... Alas......"
The old cat sighed, a little unable to speak, he lit a cigarette again, smoked slowly, and took a few puffs, and then continued: "It's just that the Xu family's powerful ghosts in the underworld, you know, are really powerful, my grandfather is old, and after fighting a few times, he didn't save my father, but took his own life." My cousin Xu Changge was only twenty years old at that time, and his courage was outstanding, but after all, he didn't have much knowledge, and when he saw that his grandfather was dead, he risked his life to fight with the Xu family, but he was also seriously injured, and the remaining third grandfather was quite stable, and hurriedly took those friends to rescue his cousin Xu Changge, but my father and my grandfather both went to that accident......"
After saying this, the old cat stared blankly into the distance, smoking.
Rhubarb frowned when he heard this, looked at the old cat with a sympathetic expression, and asked, "And then?" And then you fled to Foshan? ”
The old cat nodded and said, "From now on, those in the underworld of the Xu family will remove my grandfather's descendants from the Xu family, and directly invite this vein out of the Xu family ancestral hall." But because of this, the fortunes of several of us have been isolated from the Xu family's underworld since then, and it has really made our later good days. ”
Speaking of this, the old cat smiled a little self-deprecatingly, and continued: "Xu Changge has been in constant contact with all kinds of yin travelers and exorcists since that time because of that excessive fright, and he has also hoarded a lot of magic weapons in his hands, plus he is bent on avenging his second uncle, and he has dared to fight and fight over the years, and he has become a quite successful businessman in the capital; The third grandfather, that is, our third uncle, although not as radical as Xu Changge, has also secretly hoarded a lot of treasures and learned a lot of techniques to exorcise ghosts and ward off evil spirits; As for me...... My father was made into a ghost, I was still young, I didn't know these things, my mother took me away and fled to Guangdong, until I was 12 years old, my mother once revealed that my father was killed by a ghost...... Growing up, I didn't remember my father, and the only thing that accompanied me was my mother and the old cat at home. My mother said that outsiders are not allowed to say that my surname is Xu, so I took a name called Lao Mao, although I don't know who my father is, but I know that he was killed by a ghost, so I left home when I was thirteen years old, and followed the master master in the Liangguang area to learn the art of exorcism from the ghosts......"
After hearing this, I really got to know the old cat again, I really didn't expect him to be such a poor person with a tragic experience.
No wonder he is now such a cold and arrogant character, which is not unrelated to his childhood experience, I sighed and patted the old cat on the shoulder, but I couldn't say anything.
