Chapter 18: I Can Save the Old Man
Xu Si drove the car and took people back to his residence in Tianjin.
The Xu family's house is a small two-story building, not very big, but with a courtyard.
After stopping the car, Xu Si pushed open the door and shouted, "Aunt Wang, where is my dad!" ”
"Little four." A middle-aged woman dressed plainly walked over, she pinched a dry rag, wiped the water on her hands, and said, "Old man, he has just finished breakfast, and he is basking in the sun in the yard at this time." ”
"Let's go, Xiao Zhang, take you to meet my father." Xu Si beckoned to Zhang Chuyi, turned his head and walked straight towards the courtyard.
The living room of the Xu family's house is not big, and when you turn two corners, you can see a floor-to-ceiling window, and there is a green lawn outside.
Xu Xiang's wheelchair was parked on the lawn, his head was gently hanging on the back of the wheelchair motionless, even if the sun was shining, Xu Xiang's face was so pale that there was no trace of blood, and there was a rotten smell all over his body.
"Dad, I brought Zhang Chuyi here." Xu Si walked up to Xu Xiang, half-knelt on the ground, held his father's cold palm, and rubbed it gently.
"Zhang Chuyi......" Xu Xiang's cloudy eyes flashed with a weak light, calling in a voice like a moan.
"Old man." Zhang Chuyi also walked in front of Xu Xiang and half-squatted down like Xu Si.
This respect is not only because he is facing an old man who is about to die, but also because he is grateful for protecting his younger brother for many years.
Chu Lan has been able to live peacefully until now, and Old Man Xu must have made great efforts in it, and he should repay it with the greatest respect if it is reasonable.
"You and your brother are carved out of the same mold, I almost can't tell the difference."
Xu Xiang barely squeezed out a smile and said, "What your grandfather said at the beginning was that if your younger brother Chu Lan was approached by a stranger, we could only show up."
But you also saw my body, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to last that time, and it just so happened that you entered the company again, so I simply told you in advance about the year.
It all started in 1944, the day I first met Ah Wu. ”
Next, Old Man Xu used a deep and slow voice to tell the past of his acquaintance, separation, and reunion with Ah Wu, that is, Feng Baobao.
Of course, it also talks about the catastrophe caused by the remnants of Jiashen nine years ago.
These have not changed much from the plot that Zhang Chuyi knew, but when the grandfather entrusted his grandson to Xu Xiang in the end, he only mentioned that Chu Lan was approached, but did not mention himself.
So it should have been discussed with my father a long time ago, one to take away, and the other to send to the orphanage.
And I also guessed that I, who was a big brother, would choose the most dangerous path.
"Your grandfather said, Ah Wu's affairs will be handed over to you two brothers.
Now that you, the eldest brother, have appeared, I'm afraid Zhang Chulan won't be able to hide there for too long, and sooner or later someone will find out. ”
When Xu Xiang said this, he took the oxygen cylinder in Xu San's hand, took a deep breath, and turned his head to look at Feng Baobao next to him: "Before he died, he handed over a thing to Ah Wu, saying that if he saw you, he would let Ah Wu hand it over to you."
Your grandfather also said that after he left, you will be the pillar of the family, but you don't have as much wit and quick wit as your brother Zhang Chulan, and you only know how to be reckless in everything, so it's easy to suffer a big loss.
Too rigid and easy to break, good and gentle undefeated, this is the last sentence he left for you. ”
Hearing his grandfather's last words, a mist quickly gathered in Zhang Chuyi's eyes.
Until he died, his grandfather was still thinking about himself, and even kept the most important things for himself.
Since ancient times, there will always be someone in a family who can get more love, but grandpa has really achieved two bowls of water.
"By the way......" Xu Xiang coughed lightly, "I have been tracking down the name Zhang Xilin for the past few years, but those old people in the Inhuman World don't know this person at all.
A few days ago, I heard Xu Si say that you are using a golden light spell and your surname is Zhang, and I immediately thought that he might be from the Heavenly Master's Mansion.
After some investigation, I found that among the disciples of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, there was no one named Zhang Xilin.
But in the year I met Ah Wu, there was a disciple in the Heavenly Master's Mansion who was silently removed from the list, this disciple is called Zhang Huaiyi, I think, this should be your grandfather's real name. ”
"My grandfather...... It's called Zhang Huaiyi. Zhang Chuyi raised his head and finally said his grandfather's name in person.
For many years, whether it is grandpa's tombstone or spiritual position, the pseudonym Zhang Xilin has been used.
He wanted to restore his grandfather's real name in a dignified manner, and today he finally got his wish.
"That's all I have to say, and if I don't survive the day your brother is discovered, then you'll have to tell him about it."
After Xu Xiang finished speaking, he didn't want to spend any more effort, but just looked at Feng Baobao affectionately and memorably.
Feng Baobao put his hands in his pockets and put his forehead in front of Zhang Chuyi, preparing to return the things that Zhang Huaiyi left to Zhang Chuyi to the original owner.
However, Zhang Chuyi stood up and refused to accept it.
"What are you hiding?" Feng Baobao's head tilted, and his big bright eyes were full of doubts.
"Leave the things to Chu Lan, he needs this grandfather's inheritance more than me." Zhang Chuyi's expression was calm, and there was no greed in his eyes.
Although the thing that Grandpa asked Feng Baobao to hand over was called Lao Nonggong, Zhang Chuyi felt that that thing was most likely the source of the Qi body known as the end of the technique.
However, he has already found his own way, and the path of the Qi Body Source is completely different from the one he wants to take, and he will not improve much after getting his hands on it.
In addition, Chu Lan was able to save the day with this power, if he was taken away by himself, who knows what kind of changes would occur.
For these two considerations, Zhang Chuyi decisively chose to refuse.
"Ah Wu, since Zhang Chuyi doesn't want it, then keep it for Zhang Chulan."
Xu Xiang shouted softly and took another breath of oxygen: "I'm a little tired after talking so much today, push me back to the house, fourth." ”
"Wait a minute, Fourth Brother." Zhang Chuyi suddenly stretched out his hand to stop Xu Si, "Old man Xu Xiang's situation, maybe I have a way to save him." ”
"What did you say!" As soon as these words came out, Xu San and Xu Si turned their heads suddenly, and their eyes shone on Zhang Chuyi's face with great heat.
Zhang Chuyi said in a deep voice: "I sensed it just now, the old man should also be a cultivator, and what maintains the life of a cultivator is nothing more than two things, one is Qi and the other is a body organ.
However, because cultivators have Qi to nourish their bodies, the aging rate of their organs tends to be much slower than that of ordinary people.
I heard Old Man Xu say just now that he is only in his early eighties this year, and although he is indeed very old, as a cultivator, he has not yet become the scene in front of him.
So since the organs have not yet reached the point of failure, it can only be that there is something wrong with the Qi in the body! ”
