Extra: Xie the old lady's letter (three watches)
Hey, hey, are you all right?
My son solves the three evils, loves his grandson and solves the problem, when I see this letter, I am dead, is it a surprise?
I have already entrusted a friend that when the news of my death is transmitted back to Beiliang, this letter kept in the Taiping Firm will appear in your hands.
Surprised? Sadness? Extrication? Or have you already bought whips and wine, and drank them while setting off the guns?
It's okay, you can scold me now, because I can't hear anymore.
I know that I have never been a good father or a good grandfather, after all, a good person goes to the Qinglou every day for half a month. Also, let's not say anyone, one is five stones, one is a good gamble, our family is full of five poisons.
Of course, rest assured, I don't have any troubles. I went to prostitution, purely to solve problems to comfort the lonely and empty hearts of women who had lost their footing, and I didn't have anything to do. All I have to do is find a day to die, that's all.
Therefore, I understand all the slander and abuse you have against me on a daily basis, because what you say is true. You don't have to feel guilty, because that's what I am.
But you'd better not cry for me, I'm dead, and I can't see you crying for me, it's a pity.
Next, I want to say something to you, which is heartfelt.
People can't be resurrected from death, and I often use this phrase to comfort myself. Not for today, when I knew I was going to die, but for twenty years ago. However, until the day I was determined to die, I did not come out of this sentence.
Luckily, you can.
Solve the three evils, twenty years ago, you walked into Boss Liu's pharmacy in a daze and bought the first pack of Wushi San. I haven't done many good things in my life, but saving the pharmacy owner's family is the most correct thing I've ever done.
So, you've been smoking cool powder for twenty years.
Or else? Do you think a person who smokes Wushisan can stay awake? Do you think I can let a poisonous insect inherit the inheritance of the Xie family for 300 years and do the business of ruining your grandfather's family?
Those who smoke Wushisan are not considered human beings from the day they are dominated by desire.
Also, Xie Du, I don't blame you for what happened twenty years ago, and your father didn't blame you either. But none of us came out of that.
Child, it was not your fault that the flood was borne, and it was not her fault that Xiaoxiao saved you.
Her last words before being swept away by the flood were Let us catch you.
Twenty years, we've been trapped for twenty years.
That flood will still sweep through my dreams until now. Every time your father pretends to be addicted to Wushisan, he will cry and recite Xiaoxiao's name. And you, have never walked out of that overflowing river.
But now you can come out.
You've been asking me what the immortal had promised me, but I haven't told you. Now that I'm dead, I should have told you something.
I know that the fact that people cannot be resurrected from death is not a relief, but a truth.
My only wish is to let the immortals redeem the remnants of the soul swept away by the flood one day in the future. I don't ask her to be born again, or even to think of anything.
I just wish she could see it.
And you, you can come out.
I'm relieved.
I hope there are green buildings in hell too.
Haha, I just don't repent. Until I wrote this letter, I still missed Xiaoxiao and my daughter.
Xie Se - this letter was written in the sixth year of Hongxi of the Ming Dynasty.
-----------------------------------
"Whew."
Exhaling a breath, Xie Du closed his eyes and set aside the letter with the seal of Xie Se. He raised his head and looked at the silent Xie Sanxun on the side, speechless for a while.
"Dad, you don't have to pretend anymore."
Xie Du shook his head and opened his mouth to break the silence, "You don't have to trouble Boss Liu in the future, people still have to act with you every day, pretending to buy Wushisan from a ghost market in other places, and you are nervous." ”
"This old boy didn't cheat me a lot of money."
Xie Sanyu muttered in a low voice angrily, and then he looked at Xie Du and said softly: "You were at that time... Did you really see your sister-in-law? ”
"Do you think I'm going to be wrong?"
A faint smile appeared on Xie Du's face, and he still remembered the bright girl suspended in mid-air, lazily greeting him.
"But she doesn't remember us."
Hearing this, Xie Sanxun was stunned for a moment, and a trace of disappointment flashed on his slightly old face, but he was soon shrouded in a faint smile.
He raised his head, looked at the roof that had not been repaired for twenty years, and said calmly, "It's not important, it's not important." ”
"yes."
Gently rubbing the handle of the chair, lowering his head, looking at the engraved [Xie Xiaonuan's chair for stupid nephew], the corners of Xie Du's mouth were slightly hooked, a little bitter, but more of a relief.
"It's time for us to get out."
"So, you kid has also pretended to be a gambler for ten years?"
Facing his father's inquiry, Xie Du shook his head, nodded again, and said with emotion:
"At first, I was really looking for something exciting and trying to make me forget about the flood. But then, I felt like I was stuck in it, and all I had to do was play cards all day. ”
Thinking of this, Xie Du smiled and said self-deprecatingly: "I think I have been in business for a few years, and I can stop it in time, and leave if I win the bet." But I always thought about it, and several times, I almost couldn't get off the table. ”
"Luckily, every time I want to fall in, I always feel like my sister-in-law is right next to me. She also called me stupid nephew by the ear as she had done before, told me to go home and wash my hands and eat, and she made me stir-fried pork with green peppers. Then, as if I had woken up, I ran for my life. ”
"Daddy, don't you wonder why I found a monster hunter who is called the most unreliable?"
Looking at Xie Sanxun on the side, a smile appeared on Xie Du's face.
"Why?"
Xie Sanjie knocked the cigarette pouch and asked.
"Six years ago, I went to a casino. At that time, I had just finished a drinking party, I drank too much, gambled, my mind was muddy, I kept throwing money, throwing money, but I kept losing. ”
"Then I was in a hurry, and I didn't have much money with me, so I wanted to borrow some money from the owner of the casino. Now that I think about it, it's a game, just one step away, and we're going to change our surname. ”
"I had just asked where the boss was, and one of them gave me a kick and kicked me out of the door and into the alley. I was very angry at the time, and just as I wanted to scold him, I saw my sister-in-law standing beside him, looking at me with eyes that hated iron and steel, and I came to my senses at that time. ”
"That horse boy is disguised by Zhou Li, right?"
Xie Sansheng put down the cigarette pouch, looked at Xie Du on the side, and said, "So, you found him last month and entrusted him to find your grandfather." ”
Nodding, Xie Du stood up, looked at the closed door of the Xie family, and said slowly:
"After the abacus case, I lived but I was still in a mess, but at least I didn't gamble. A month ago, my grandfather told me that he was going to Beiliang, and if he didn't send a message to his family within ten days, he would ask someone to look for him. ”
He said that whoever looked for him would get the secret he had kept for twenty years, so Grandpa asked me to find someone I could trust to look for him. I thought of Zhou Li, who kicked me up, and also thought of my sister-in-law who was with him, and on the eleventh day after my grandfather left, I found Zhou Li. ”
"I know that Zhou Li has a sick sister at home, and I also inquired with the sacrificial wine of the Taixue Mansion about the medicinal materials they need. So I bought the Soul Suppression Pill, exchanged it for four thousand taels of silver, and entrusted Zhou to leave to investigate my grandfather's whereabouts. ”
Xie Sanyi looked at the afterglow of the gradually setting sun in the doorway, a faint smile appeared in his eyes, and he whispered to Xie Du on the side: "This is the most correct decision you have made." ”
"yes."
Recalling the high-spirited young man just now, Xie Du said with relief: "My sister-in-law is by Zhou Li's side, and she should probably have a chance to have a bright future... Right? ”
"Don't hesitate."
"Nonsense, your son went to Taixue with Zhou Li back then."
Father and son looked at each other, and then laughed in unison.
The steward who was cleaning the courtyard stopped when he heard the laughter, and froze in place. He hadn't heard his son and master laugh so heartily for twenty years.
"So grandpa also pretends to like prostitution?"
"That's not."
"He's really sexual."
Uh-uh.
The steward continued to sweep the floor, as if he had not heard the rebellious conversation between the two. However, on his old face, he couldn't stop smiling.
The wide broom swept the dust out of the door frame, and the stone steps that had been carved by the girl with the words of Juanxiu were also rediscovered.
[I wish the lascivious dad, the stuffy gourd brother, and the stupid nephew, always happy]
[Love your little warmth]
