Chapter 70: This Is Your Grandfather
Xie Du, the richest man in Northern Liang, is also a famous filial son.
As a cloth merchant who started as a mat weaver, Xie Du is very willing to bring his family to self-cultivation. After a two-hour morning hand exercise, Xie Du went to his side room, woke up his father, and began the morning ear exercise at noon.
"Big, big, big!"
Facing the table sideways, with their eyes closed, Xie Du and his old father kept whispering. When the lid was lifted, revealing one, two, and three small points, Xie Du and his old father Xie Sanqi sighed and shook their heads helplessly.
"Hey, why is the father and son of the Xie family unlucky today?"
Another wealthy merchant at the table smiled and retrieved the chips on the table.
"The whereabouts of the old father are unknown, and my heart is not good."
Xie Sanxun sighed, since the disappearance of his old father Xie Se, coupled with the closure of Beiliang City, he can't eat and sleep well for a day, and he can't suck Wushi San, and he gambles for four or five hours, and even goes to the meat alley only once a day.
"yes."
Xie Du sighed, he was the same, after the old father's old father disappeared, he didn't think about it, and he didn't play mahjong, so he could only paralyze himself by shaking the dice for four hours.
"Alas, mourn."
The rich merchant sighed and shook his head. He was just about to exchange chips when the dice shaker shook them again. Seeing this, he didn't bother to change his chips, so he directly threw everything he had just earned into it.
With the sound of opening the lid, the sky leopard of 666 appeared in front of everyone. Suddenly, the wealthy businessman was shocked, looking at the father and son of the Xie family who threw the chips on the heavenly leopard, he said in horror:
"You guys set me up!"
"I'm willing to gamble and lose, Boss Li."
A kind smile appeared on Xie Du's face, he put away a lot of chips, and said happily, "Isn't it time for us to exchange chips?" ”
"I, I, I."
Boss Li panicked, and his speech function was completely lost for a while. And the solution to the three evils on the side has long been ready, putting aside one chip after another and raising his hand.
Syllable!
slapped it over, and the three evils suddenly looked refreshed. Seeing this, Xie Du also happily stepped forward and slapped him.
Yes, since six years ago, Beiliang City rectified the atmosphere due to the abacus case, and the casinos opened at home by Xie Du and the Three Evils have not gambled.
Bet on the slap.
And their hand workouts for two hours every morning are really hand exercises. Hanging sandbags, frying iron sand, and splitting bricks are all morning exercises for their father and son.
In order to have a good time.
"Boss Li, come back next time."
Looking at the back of Boss Li, who looked like a pig's head, Xie Du waved his hand and warmly bid off the other party. And the solution to the three evils on the side squatted on the steps, wrapped in a pipe, and sighed.
"Ugh."
Hearing his old father's sigh, Xie Du had a good heart, took out the fire fold and lit the pipe directly to solve the three evils. He squatted beside his old father and sighed helplessly.
Since the disappearance of his old father, Xie Se, has been in low spirits and has been missing the fairy elder every day.
But they also all know that with the performance of their own father (grandfather) day and night, if they don't die before the age of ninety, they will win, win, win.
But...
"Is the demon hunter you're looking for reliable?"
Xie Sansheng wrapped a puff of tobacco mixed with five stone powder, exhaled a cool breath, and asked with some suspicion: "It's been two months, why hasn't there been any news?" ”
"Don't worry."
Xie Du on the side played with the dice in his hand and said firmly:
"Master Zhou is a well-known demon hunter in our Northern Liang City, and even the government had to ask him as a staff officer when he was sweeping away pornography and fighting illegal activities. Don't look at his young age, the Qinglou Casino is clearer than both of us. ”
"So powerful? How do I remember people saying he was the least reliable monster hunter? ”
Xie Sanjie scratched his head in some confusion, but he didn't say much. Although he is a father, in fact, his son takes care of all kinds of family affairs and shopping malls, and he mainly eats, drinks, plays, pornography, gambling and drugs.
"Oh, Dad, I feel like Grandpa he..."
Xie Du wanted to speak and stopped, and he also understood what he meant. He let out a long sigh, patted his son on the shoulder, and reassured:
"Your grandfather was already prepared after he was stroked by the immortals. Dying to fulfill one's wish may be a curse to others, but it is not a good thing for your grandfather. ”
"But what did my grandfather exchange his life for?"
"I don't know."
Shaking his head, Xie Sanshen sighed and said, "In his life, no one can understand him. ”
Just as Xie Du and Xie Du were about to get up and go back to the house, they suddenly heard a bang, and the two of them turned their heads together to find that the door of their house had been kicked open. Standing in front of the door was a beautiful white-haired girl.
"What about Xie Du? Come out quickly! ”
Obviously the girl is delicate and cute, but the words are deliberately pressed very roughly, she looked at the nurses in the courtyard who were like a great enemy, and said loudly:
"I have something important to say to him, you guys get out of the gram quickly, or my punching bag big fist won't be long-sighted."
A girl with a delicate body and a beautiful appearance said such a vulgar threat. This made everyone look at each other, and they didn't know what to do for a while.
Beiliang's six-year rectification action has allowed these nursing homes to maintain basic literacy, and they know very well that in Beiliang City, they must not offend anyone who is suspected of mental illness, especially those who say things that do not match their body type.
The manager of the nursing home stepped forward in advance, lowered his eyebrows, and asked kindly, "Little sister, can you tell me your name?" ”
"I..."
Tang Guan looked at the old man in front of him who was smiling like a brilliant chrysanthemum, and subconsciously took a step back.
"Alright, let this girl in."
Xie Du couldn't stand it anymore, he was afraid that this girl who had begun to clench her fists and accumulate strength would hammer her housekeeper to death with a punch, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "This girl, I am Xie Du, there is something you can discuss with me in detail." ”
"Oh."
Nodding, Tang Guan took out a piece of jade and threw it to Xie Du.
"This is your grandfather."
"Huh?"
Xie Du was stunned for a moment, and the surrounding nursing homes directly drew out knives, ready to teach this madman a lesson.
"Ugh."
Just when Xie Du looked confused, and the surrounding nurses picked up the guy and prepared to fight with this girl, Zhou Li behind the door really couldn't stand it, sighed, and walked into the other courtyard.
"Put it away for me!"
The moment he saw Zhou Li, Xie Du hurriedly stopped the surrounding nursing homes who were about to teach this woman who was talking wildly, and scolded:
"People are my honored guests, do you dare to face each other with swords? Don't want to live anymore?! ”
Seeing that the surrounding guards put away their swords, Xie Du hurriedly came to Zhou Li and saluted.
"Mr. Xie doesn't need to be polite."
Waving his hand, Zhou Li glanced at Tang Guan, who was standing in place in a daze, not knowing what he had done wrong, sighed, took the ghast jade in her hand, and said to Xie Du on the side:
"It's really your grandfather."
"Huh?"
Xie Du was stunned again, as if he remembered something, sadness gradually appeared in his eyes. He took a deep breath, as if to calm his mind, and his hands trembled a little.
"Please come into the main house and talk about it."
Xie Du maintained his demeanor and made a gesture of please, but his steps seemed a little vain. Zhou Li and the two glanced at each other, didn't say much, and followed Xie Du into the main house.
After entering the main house, Zhou Li and Tang Guan sat opposite Xie Du. And Xie Du absentmindedly let his subordinates make tea, and then looked at the ghast jade in his hand repeatedly, with only pathos and sadness in his eyes.
"Zhou Gongzi, you... Is that true? ”
Raising his head, Xie Du asked sadly, "Is this really my grandfather?" ”
"You can understand it that way."
Zhou Li nodded, took a sip from the teacup, and then spoke: "The ghast jade is a monster that condenses a person's soul and body through a special spell and turns it into a piece of jade that contains the memories of the deceased. ”
"Your grandfather was killed by a snake demon in the magnificent building of Shangjing, but the good news is that refining ghast jade will not feel pain, and will only gradually lose consciousness in bliss. At least, the old man walked away with a smile. ”
After hearing Zhou Li's persuasion, the pain on Xie Du's face was a little less, but Zhou Li was keenly aware that in addition to pain and sadness, Xie Du seemed to have another emotion.
Relieved.
"Zhou Gongzi, if my guess is correct, my grandfather should have left something, right?"
Raising his head, Xie Du looked at Zhou Li with a relieved gaze, and asked slowly: "His relics should be more than this ghast jade." ”
Well?
Zhou Li's heart suddenly perked up when he heard this, and he quickly reacted that the death of this old man Xie may not be so simple, and this Xie Du is not an ordinary gentleman. He knew that what Xie Du was talking about was the seven immortal gourd seeds.
To say, or not to say?
Without waiting for Zhou Li to make a decision, Xie Du quickly spoke:
"Don't worry, Gongzi Zhou, I don't mean to ask for anything."
Smiling bitterly, Xie Du sighed lightly, and then said with a gloomy expression:
"I'm just a businessman, the Ming Dynasty is ninth-rate, and I don't want to participate in the affairs of the immortal family, and I don't dare to participate. I just wanted to see what it was like to keep my grandfather's secret for twenty years. ”
Pushing a silver ticket of one thousand taels in front of Zhou Li, Xie Du pleaded: "Just take it as my request." ”
Two sheets.
Three.
Four sheets.
"Zhou Yi, come out."
put away the four thousand taels, and Zhou Yi, who was transformed into a crimson gourd, also appeared beside Zhou Li.
When Xie Du saw the fairy-like figure, he was stunned, and after a while, Xie Du covered his face, and a line of tears slipped down his cheeks. He gritted his teeth, his voice trembled, and tears fell uncontrollably to the floor.
"It's exactly the same as my sister-in-law who died young."
