Surrounded by the Zhang family, Xiao Xiao walked towards the house.
Meng Jixi leaned against the car door consciously and did not follow. She stared thoughtfully at Master Xiao at the front of the crowd.
Noticing Zhang Lin's apologetic look, he shook his head.
It's not like he didn't know about this situation.
Even so, he still followed him, wondering if he could find some clues about Master Xiao.
…
"Master Xiao, I'm really sorry. Please make another trip."
Grandpa Zhang walked beside Xiao Xiao, with a ruddy complexion and a loud voice.
Xiao Xiao smiled and shook his head. He walked into the living room without haste and then stopped.
He turned to look at the Zhang family and said bluntly, "What is your decision?"
Since he was specially called here, were you trying to remove the alcohol bug from the child's body?
…
The Zhang family members had different expressions. Although they had made a decision before, their originally peaceful mood became complicated and disordered in the face of Master Xiao's straightforward inquiry.
There was a moment of silence in the hall.
After a long time, Grandpa Zhang was the first to break the stagnant air.
"Master Xiao, is it true that the alcohol bug in the child's body will not cause any harm to the child?"
"Yes."
Xiao Xiao thought he probably knew the Zhang family's choice, "The wine bug will protect the child's wealth for the rest of his life, at the cost of the child's body after death."
"Yeah?"
Grandpa Zhang looked a little dazed and muttered a few words. Then the confusion in his eyes dissipated, and his face showed obvious determination, "Then, Master Xiao, our decision is-"
Grandpa Zhang paused for a moment, and then spelled out the result of their discussion for a week, "The alcohol bug will not be removed from the child's body."
Xiao Xiao glanced around the Zhang family. After Grandpa Zhang said this decision, everyone could not help but feel relieved on their faces, although there was still confusion and entanglement between their brows, "Have you really decided?
"
…
Regarding the Zhang family's choice, Xiao Xiao was just a little surprised.
After all, he can understand no matter which choice the Zhang family makes in this matter.
Everything in this world has its own gains and losses. Whether it is worth it or not?
It can almost be said that you can obtain a lifetime of wealth and glory without paying any price during your lifetime.
As for what happened behind the scenes...
The time you are alive is the most important, isn't it?
…
Xiao Xiao's questioning again caused the Zhang family to fall into silence again.
The decision that had already been made seemed to be shaken again when Master Xiao asked this question.
No matter how they comfort themselves, they feel horrified just thinking about the fact that the corpse will be eaten by insects after death.
The knot in my heart could not be completely dissipated.
Moreover, it didn’t matter if they didn’t know before, but now they know that there is a bug in the child’s body, and they have not dared to get too close to the child these days.
Because when they thought about Master Xiao saying that wine bugs can eat people, they couldn't help but become a little timid.
...
However, money and silk move people's hearts, people die for money, and birds die for food.
They cannot treat money like dirt.
This is a lifetime of glory and wealth.
Thinking of this, my somewhat shaken heart became firm again.
"Yes, Master Xiao, we have decided."
"Don't take out the wine bug."
After Grandpa Zhang made eye contact with the rest of the Zhang family, he said loudly.
Now that it has been decided, there is nothing to waver about.
This is the result of careful consideration by their whole family.
They will never regret it.
…
Xiao Xiao looked at Liu Qian, who was a little stiff... The child beside her legs was holding her mother's pants tightly with her fleshy little hands, and her dark eyes were innocent.
He smiled gently at the child.
The child blinked, his eyes a little dodgey, but he soon showed a shy smile towards Xiao Xiao.
…
Xiao Xiao looked at the child's mother.
Her eyes were light but very present. Liu Qian, who had been paying attention to the child's hand holding her pants, instantly came back to her senses and subconsciously raised her eyes to look at Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao, however, looked away and looked at the Zhang family who intentionally or unintentionally left the child's side.
Although there were so many people, the child and his mother stood there, but there was an inexplicable feeling of loneliness.
In fact, if the child hadn't grabbed the mother's pants, even the mother would have wanted to leave the child.
…
Xiao Xiao's gaze made the Zhang family feel a little nervous and uneasy.
He didn't look at the Zhang family again.
Xiao Xiao's eyelids drooped slightly, and he met the child's ignorant and pure eyes again.
"I see."
…
Xiao Xiao's words made the Zhang family heave a sigh of relief.
Only then did they realize that they had held their breath unknowingly.
"Haha, Master Xiao, I'm really sorry. Although we decided not to take out the wine bug, we still took the liberty to invite you over again."
Grandpa Zhang laughed heartily. No matter what their decision was, they always felt that they had to invite Master Xiao to their home again and tell Master Xiao their decision in person.
Not just a phone call.
Maybe what they need is Master Xiao's words just now: "I understand."
Their faintly restless hearts inexplicably calmed down with these words.
…
The corners of Xiao Xiao's mouth were slightly raised, but there was no smile in his slightly restrained eyes.
After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "The alcohol bug is safe in this child's body. You don't need to worry or... be afraid."
Since you want the wealth brought by the wine bug, but you are afraid of the wine bug that brings wealth, don't you think it's a bit ridiculous?
…
Master Xiao's words made the Zhang family a little embarrassed. They knew that their subtle fear and alienation towards their children had been seen by Master Xiao.
However, they don't want this either. How can they let go of the child they have always held in their hands?
But by the time they reacted, they had already done it unconsciously.
…
That's all, Xiao Xiao sighed softly in his heart. After all, he couldn't bear the child being alienated by his family because of this.
Although I don't know if the Zhang family's behavior at this time is just a temporary discomfort on their part.
Since he was not sure about the Zhang family's future attitude change, he still wanted to do something for the child now.
"Furthermore, the wealth brought by the alcohol bug in a child's body is actually limited to the child alone. It is only because the child is dependent on you that it will affect you."
"It can be said that the child's attitude towards you affects the alcoholic's attitude towards you."
"After all, the current drinking bug is closely related to this child."
…
After hearing what Master Xiao said next, the Zhang family was stunned and understood what Master Xiao meant.
They didn't doubt Master Xiao's thoughts.
On the one hand, they were already in awe of Master Xiao. On the other hand, this statement sounded completely reasonable to them, so what was there to doubt?
