The next photo is of Su Bai when he was sixteen years old. At this time, he already had a heartless smile on his face. The next photo is of himself in college, standing on the podium with high spirits. The last photo
, Su Bai was stunned. Isn't this his recent self?
"What's going on with these photos?" Suber blurted out.
"I don't know either." The nurse said, "I just recently came to take care of my husband at home, and I often see him looking through these photos."
So when she opened the door, she knew who she was. Su Bai didn't have any details if she continued to ask. Then she saw that grandpa fell into a deep sleep on the bed. He and Ying Ning left first and left the hotel. Ying Ning said happily: "
When I see those photos, I know that your grandpa has always cared about you, that’s great!”
Suber said: "They were all secretly photographed."
"Secret photography shows that I pay attention to you." Yingning said, "Anyway, it's great. Can I inform grandma and aunt now?"
"It seems it's time. He can't run away in this state." Su Bai suddenly thought of the Taoist priest: "No hurry, let's notify someone first."
Subai put the tea leaves in his hand on the table. The Taoist priest was crossing his legs and closing his eyes. The two of them could not be disturbed. He was about to walk out of the house and stay in the yard for a while. The Taoist priest opened his eyes: "You are here."
"Taoist Master." Subai turned around slowly.
"Looking at the way you hesitate when you have something to say, I know something is going on." The Taoist Master said, "You guys won't be here for a few days, and you won't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. If you have anything to say, just say it."
"He's back."
These four short words brought a knowing smile to the Taoist priest's face: "This day has finally come."
"Aren't you worried, Taoist priest?" Su Bai said quickly: "Grandma's heart will drop when he comes back. Hasn't your sacrifice for so many years been in vain, Taoist priest?"
"Sacrifice?" the Taoist priest said with a smile: "I never think of it as a sacrifice. I just do what I like, so I don't expect anything in return. Although I have uncontrollable expectations in my heart, the reality is that I can only
Accept, is he okay?"
"The current condition is not good." Suber said, "He may be dying."
The Taoist priest closed his eyes again: "Really?"
The Taoist Priest's mood swings had already appeared, and Su Bai spoke for the Taoist Priest: "If he dies, grandma will be hit hard for the second time, right?"
"You also know your grandmother's temperament." The Taoist priest said: "She is so stubborn that even nine cows can't pull her back. If he dies, maybe... she will die too."
Even if the body is not dead, the heart will be. A chill came up, and Su Bai hugged his body. The Taoist priest opened his eyes again: "So, are everything clear?"
"Not yet. He was not in good condition today and fell asleep after taking the medicine." Suber said, "But I heard from the nurse that his symptoms come in fits and starts, and he will get better again after the attack.
I want to wait until then to inform grandma and mom to come over and ask questions in one go."
"Your plan is good, and now your considerations are more mature." The Taoist priest said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, so please let me know when the time comes."
Su Bai was a little surprised. The Taoist priest didn't seem like someone who would do such a thing, but he agreed without hesitation: "Okay."
Su Bai told his mother and grandma about this two days later. Bai Ling was as excited as ever, but grandma who should be the most excited just let out a long sigh. The Taoist priest was right to worry. If grandpa died,
It was the second heavy blow to grandma. The less grandma did, the more worrying she was.
"Mom, go over now?"
"There's no rush. Let's inform the president and let's go together tomorrow." Bai Chang bit his lip slightly.
Mom was not in a hurry to see her father. Bai Ling was a little surprised: "Tomorrow?"
"If you are impatient, go now." Bai Chang's words made Bai Ling speechless.
Bai Ling spread his hands: "I'm not in a hurry to see him, I'm in a hurry to get the answer."
"Isn't that the same thing?" Bai Chang was surprised to find that he was calmer than he thought: "By the way, I need to call someone else."
"Bai Moxuan." Su Bai said, "I have informed him. After all, the fox relic may still be in the hands of grandpa."
A group of six people finally stood in the hotel room. This time, Ji Yao had already gotten up from the hospital bed. He looked in good spirits, no different from ordinary people. Su Bai was sensitive to the fact that he had more sideburns.
He has some white hair, and his whole body is much thinner. Fortunately, his complexion is rosy again. Because of the gunshot wound, his body is always slightly stooped.
After everyone came in, his eyes first fell on Bai Chang. Looking at her face, he couldn't help but smile. There was a lot of emotion in his eyes: "Everyone is old."
Bai Chang said coldly: "Maybe."
Bai Chang's reaction was as expected by Ji Yao. When he saw the Taoist priest and the empty sleeve, he was not too surprised. The Taoist priest nodded slightly: "Long time no see."
Bai Moxuan said impatiently: "No need to introduce them one by one, let's get to the point quickly."
Normally, Su Bai would hate Bai Moxuan talking like this, but what he said now was also his own voice. Su Bai nodded: "I didn't come here to drink tea today."
Ji Yao waved the nurse out. At this moment, the doorbell rang again, and it was Lawyer Shang who came in. When he saw Su Bai, he greeted him familiarly: "We meet again."
Lawyer Shang held a stack of documents in his hand. As long as Su Bai signed his name on these documents, all the properties and deposits listed above would be his. Sub Bai frowned slightly: "Here we go again."
"Let's all sit down and talk. The people who can be invited by sir are all our own people, so I won't be secretive anymore." Lawyer Shang said enthusiastically.
"That's not necessarily the case. There are also people who come uninvited." Bai Moxuan said coldly.
Lawyer Shang's face froze slightly. The people in the antique store are not normal people, not normal people!
"That's okay, sir, I'll start." Lawyer Shang looked at Su Bai: "Sir's entrustment still needs to be carried out. You said before that you will not sign unless you hand over these things to you.
Now that you are face to face, I think signing will not be a problem, please, Mr. Sober."
Ji Yao said: "How you use it after you get it, whether you donate it all, or keep it for yourself, is your decision and has nothing to do with me. I just want you to inherit this property now."
Su Bai looked at Bai Ling, who folded his hands in front of his chest: "Sign!"
Bai Moxuan said in a low voice: "Sign it."
Even the Taoist priest nodded slightly. Only grandma and Yingning did not express their opinions. Subai took a note and signed it. Lawyer Shang breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't wait to leave: "Sir, I will go back and deal with it right away."
Ji Yao nodded: "I'm inconvenient, so I won't send it away."
After Lawyer Shang left, Bai Moxuan said: "Now we can get to the point. I am here with only one thing - where is the fox relic? How did Aunt Xuebin die?"
"Should we call you Ji Yao or Xu Yao?" Bai Chang finally spoke, with a hint of ridicule on her face: "When you appeared in front of us, you used the name Xu Yao."
"In the past two days, I have been thinking about how to start from the beginning." Ji Yao said: "You have many questions. I don't intend to be vague about it. The first thing is my name."
"There is nothing wrong with Ji Yao being my real name." Ji Yao said: "However, since the family was almost destroyed, I began to run around and show up under pseudonyms. Xu Yao is only the one I have used the longest among my many pseudonyms, and it is also the one that causes trouble.
The one with the most.”
"What happened to the family's demise?" the Taoist priest asked, "Ji's surname is also one of the eight most important surnames in ancient times."
Ji Yao said: "Among the eight ancient surnames, apart from Jiang and Yao, the Ji surname is the one that has been around the longest, but the descendants of the Ji surname and those with pure blood all have a strange disease."
Ji Yao stretched out his hands, and the Taoist priest was surprised: "Palmprints..."
"Yes, the palm prints are slowly disappearing." Ji Yao said: "When the palm prints on the palm completely disappear, it will be the time when I die. Now, most of the left palm has disappeared, and the palm prints on the right palm have also disappeared.
More than half."
Su Bai and Bai Chang looked at each other, and both of them thought of Su Su. Sub Bai said: "The same disease was also manifested in Su Su. She died soon after the palm prints disappeared, but Su Su could not touch her yet.
Sunlight."
Ji Yao's facial expression was complicated: "I'm not afraid of the sun. It seems that the situation is different."
Su Bai breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that no one asked questions, Ji Yao said to himself: "This disease has reduced the number of people in the clan. In the end, only our family was left. After my father and mother passed away one after another, I
Suddenly I realized that I could no longer sit still and wait for death, so I decided to end my past self."
"I destroyed my own files. At that time, archiving was not as easy as it is now. Everything was stored in files and there were no electronic files." Ji Yao said: "I just thought I was dead and started everything from scratch. I want to
Live."
"No wonder Gao Mingyuan can't be found. Firstly, it's very old, and secondly, the files have been destroyed." Su Bai understood.
"I started to wander around, looking for prescriptions to cure diseases. I didn't want to face my surname Ji, which is a reminder." Ji Yao closed his eyes and said, "I have tried many prescriptions, both Chinese and Western medicine.
, in order to maintain my own livelihood, I began to pick up the slack. I only wanted to maintain my livelihood, not fame, so I didn’t have much reputation in this circle. One time, I almost died, but that time I was lucky and met
I met the noble person in my life—Xue Bin.”
Finally, when the important point was mentioned, Bai Moxuan snorted: "Did you encourage Xue Bin to steal the fox relic?"
"Encourage?" Ji Yao said: "I don't even know that there is such a thing as fox relics in this world, so how can I encourage you? Xue Bin and I met by chance, and we can also be called close friends. I confessed my situation to her, and we met soon.
A man in this world has no right to drag anyone down, so I secretly left and went to Yunnan to continue looking for a prescription."
"Cha Qianmo's hometown." Su Bai said, "You had an accident there and almost died there."
