Chapter 7 Visiting Old People Ten Years Later The Mystery of Yin and Yang Separation
After Zhang Mingyu and everyone explained the purpose of this trip, Liu Huquan asked what to do next. Zhang Mingyu rubbed his stomach: "Next, find a place to eat first, and I didn't eat anything. When you hit me, my stomach gushed. Master Jiu, do you know what restaurants are nearby? We will take you down and come back later."
Master Jiu was happy: "What restaurant can be found on the bank of the Yellow River? Let's do it like this. You can go around Kaifeng City and come back after dinner. I won't go. I just had dinner before, so I'm waiting for you to come back here."
"Hey, this is not possible. Senior, you have to ask us to ask you to apologize. Otherwise, we would be really sorry and kick your door out of the way." When he said that, Liu Huquan remembered that he was still stepping on the door of Jiuye's house under his feet. When he opened it, he saw that the wooden door had already been in half.
"This matter is really sorry to you, Master Jiu. Why don't I go nearby to change the wooden door for you?" Liu Huquan touched his head and smiled embarrassedly.
The force he used was a bit too strong just now. The wooden door was already quite old, so it naturally fell apart after such a toss.
Jiuye smiled: "There are not many trees near the Yellow River. Even if there are, they are planted by the country in recent years. How about cutting one?"
"Well, I don't want to go back and get criticized, hehe." Liu Huquan had to give up his thoughts when he heard this. He saw some trees in the distance and wanted to practice boxing and kicking, and he was almost annoyed to beat the sandbag every day.
“Hahahahahahaha…”
Zhang Mingyu persuaded Master Jiu again. Master Jiu couldn't resist Zhang Mingyu in the end, so he had to agree to go to dinner with them: "Since you unanimously invite me, I'm not polite. I know there is a good restaurant in Kaifeng, and I will take you there to try his craft."
"That's of course great."
A few people got into the car, and in a short while, they drove to Kaifeng city. After arriving at the city, Master Jiu sighed: "Compared with ten years ago, Kaifeng has changed a lot. I don't know if my old friend's shop is still there. I'll give you the way first."
Under the guidance of Jiuye, the car turned around in the city and finally stopped in front of a two-story building.
Compared with the buildings next to them, the small building looks a little dilapidated. Zhang Mingyu estimated that this building was at least a building from the 1960s and 1970s or even later. He thought that the people living inside must not be simple.
After parking, Jiu Ye got out of the car himself and did not ask anyone to follow him. He walked to the door himself, hesitated for a long time, and raised his hand to knock on the brand new wooden door that did not match the age of the small building.
After three sounds, the door opened, a young man poked his head out from inside, looked at the crowd in front of him, and asked weakly: "What's wrong with you guys?"
Master Jiu smiled kindly: "Young man, I'm looking for Lu Mingcheng, I don't know if he is here."
Hearing the name Lu Mingcheng, the young man was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Who are you? Why do you know my grandfather?"
"Hey, Lu Mingcheng is your grandfather. Why haven't I seen you? When he came ten years ago, he never told me that he had a grandson." When Master Jiu was surprised when he heard the young man say that Lu Mingcheng was his grandfather, he was shocked. How could he have a grandson out of thin air?
"Of course I am his grandson, but I followed my father to Beijing not long after I was born. Now I am back, I am holding a funeral for my grandfather." The young man opened the door and found that he was wearing black clothes from beginning to end with a small white flower on his chest. The young man walked to Master Jiu and bowed to Master Jiu.
"The child doesn't have to give this big gift. They are all family members, so there is no need to be restrained. What's wrong with Lao Lu? Tell me quickly." Master Jiu held up the young man with trembling hands. When the young man looked up again, his eyes were filled with tears.
"I guess you are Grandpa Jiu. I used to hear my family talk about you, and even my grandfather was talking about you at the last moment of his life." The young man wiped his tears, "The outside is not a place to speak, let's go into the house and talk." The young man helped Master Jiu into the house, leaving Zhang Mingyu and his group outside.
Zhang Mingyu didn't matter. Liu Huquan, who was beside him, was about to get off the car with a slap in the steering wheel. Zhang Mingyu stopped him: "Huquan, calm down. Master Jiu has his own business, so we should not disturb him."
"Uh, okay." Liu Huquan nodded and lie on the steering wheel and sulked.
Zhang Mingyu turned his head and looked at Xiaolou, thinking about the appearance of the young man just now. At that time, he felt that the young man looked very familiar and wanted to go down and recognize him, but when he saw his face, he decisively gave up this idea. It would be better if only a few people knew about his secret, and there was no need to let others know about it.
Let’s talk about Jiu Ye’s side, the young man helped Jiu Ye to sit down in the living room. The young man gave Jiu Ye a pot of water and then sat down. The two were silent for a long time. Finally, Jiu Ye said: “I remember that Lao Lu has always been a heroic body. He is the best among our brothers. Why did he leave before us?”
The young man sighed: "To be honest, I was also puzzled when I received the news that my grandfather was almost out of business. I rushed from Beijing to Kaifeng overnight. As soon as I entered the house, I saw that my grandfather had been carried into the coffin and put on a shroud. At that time, I was almost over. I rushed to see my grandfather. His face was as rosy as white paper at that time. After seeing me, my grandfather seemed to be better. Now that I think about it, I probably looked back. He told me closer. I knew that my grandfather had something to tell me, so I put my ear on my grandfather's mouth and heard my grandfather talk about something to me."
Master Jiu raised his eyebrows: "What did Lao Lu say?"
"Grandpa said that the house enshrines a box in the wall behind the portrait of the Sanqing Daozu. There is a broken scroll of mountains and sea maps he found somewhere, so I must hand them over to you. I nodded and agreed. Seeing that I agreed, Grandpa breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and closed his eyes and left. Maybe he kept his life hanging just to wait for me to tell me about this."
From the beginning, Master Jiu frowned. After the young man said that, Master Jiu's brows did not stretch, but instead twisted into a lump: "Is your grandfather's body still parked in the yard behind?"
The young man nodded: "Yes, I've been in the spirit for seven days. Because there is no time, I'm still parked in the backyard. Why? You don't want to..."
"Yes, Lao Lu's departure is so strange. So let's find a place to stay first. I'll come to you again at twelve o'clock tonight."
"Ah? Grandpa Jiu, you said you would come back at twelve o'clock. Can't you watch it now? At that time, it seemed a little bad." The young man looked puzzled, and suddenly remembered his previous experience and felt a chill on his back.
Master Jiu waved his hand: "Not now, there are so many people and eyes. I'm determined to say that, I'll leave first."
After saying that, Master Jiu got up and left, and just put his hand on the door handle, Master Jiu suddenly remembered something and turned his head to ask the young man: "Young man, I still don't know what your name is after talking for a long time."
The young man hurriedly replied: "Grandpa Jiu, my name is Lu Jiuyou, just call me Jiuyou or Xiaojiu."
"Lu Jiuyou, this name is good. Xiaojiu, your grandfather Jiu is gone." After that, Jiujiu opened the door and left.
"Goodbye Grandpa Jiu." Lu Jiuyou looked at the door slowly closing, sat on the sofa and waved goodbye to Master Jiu.
Seeing Master Jiu come out, everyone opened the door and got out of the car and gathered next to Master Jiu. Master Jiu looked at everyone and smiled: "What are you doing? If you are seen by outsiders, you would think that gangster boss is going on a trip. You can book a place to have a meal, and then find a place to live."
"Okay, Master Jiu, I just looked at the navigation. There is a noodle restaurant not far ahead. Let's go there."
"Okay, just there."
