When we came down from Taihu Restaurant, it was already dusk.
The days in winter are short, the wind is cold and biting, and the setting sun shines on Taihu Lake in the evening, making you feel lonely.
Mao Shiba was driving. Although he had been waiting for revenge for twenty years, he didn't seem to be happy at all.
In any case, Chang Shengtian is also his elder brother. The two of them entered the Wudang Clan and practiced together since they were young, and there is still more or less the old friendship deep in their hearts.
Tang Feng understood his feeling of confusion and emptiness, so he didn't speak or even give any instructions. He just let him drive aimlessly.
After a long while, Zhuge Furong, who was next to him, said, "By the way, Tang Feng, my grandpa originally planned to attend the banquet together, but the plane was delayed, so he couldn't come."
Tang Feng nodded and said, "Where is he now?"
Zhuge Furong replied: "It's in Furong Garden, a property owned by our family in the imperial capital."
Tang Feng immediately waved his hand: "Mr. Mao, go to Furong Garden."
Only then did Mao Shiba come out of his daze, nodded and said, "It's the young master!"
In fact, it is strange to say that before taking revenge, Mao Shiba was in high spirits every day. Now that he has taken revenge, he seems to have suddenly aged more than ten years.
His hair was whiter and his eyes looked older. Tang Feng understood this change in him. Once a person has no sustenance in his heart, it is as if the pillar supporting his soul has suddenly been removed.
Naturally, the body will collapse.
"Mr. Mao, you have been living for hatred for the past twenty years. From now on, you don't have to do that anymore." Tang Feng thought for a while and said.
Mao Shiba naturally understood, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "But I really can't think of what I can live for from now on?"
Tang Feng's face suddenly darkened, and he said solemnly: "Of course you live for yourself?"
Mao Shiba asked in astonishment: "Live for yourself?"
Tang Feng said word by word: "As the saying goes, there is nothing greater than a dead heart. Even if a person is still alive, if his heart is dead, what is the difference between living and dead?"
Mao Shiba was stunned and seemed to be still thinking about Tang Feng's words. Of course he had already understood the truth, but the authorities were obsessed with it, and it might not be so easy for him to escape when it was his turn.
Tang Feng didn't speak again, lit a cigarette and puffed out the smoke leisurely, allowing himself to think about it.
Some things are only truly understood when the person involved has figured them out.
After being silent for a long time, Mao Shiba's dim eyes suddenly brightened, and his spirit suddenly brightened. He said: "I understand, I have lived for hatred for the past twenty years. From now on, it is also the time to fight for myself."
Alive."
"At least, as a servant, I should live for the young master."
After Tang Feng heard this, he couldn't help but secretly sigh. He knew that Mao Shiba did not intend to truly live for himself. The reason for his sudden change was largely just to repay his kindness.
Of course he was repaying Tang Feng's kindness to him.
However, if a person can live for twenty years because of hatred, he can also live for repaying kindness.
Tang Feng said nothing more, and Mao Shiba continued to drive, this time the speed was much faster.
About half an hour later, we finally arrived at Furong Garden.
Tang Feng guessed that the Zhuge family was considered a wealthy family. The reason why they chose such a middle-class or even lower-level community in the imperial capital was probably because the community had the same name as Zhuge Furong.
Since he left Jiangning last time, he hadn't seen the old man Zhuge Yu for more than half a year, but when he saw him again, he was really shocked.
"Old man, why are you..." Tang Feng did not continue because he was too shocked.
Tang Feng originally imagined that since Zhuge Yu had been infected by the top letter-linked heart poison in the world, even if he nursed back to health, he would still be very thin.
But he never expected that old man Zhuge, instead of being thin, was actually very fat, terribly fat.
At this moment, he was standing at the door, but his body almost blocked the entire door, looking like a mountain of meat.
His fat face was actually red, and his eyes had a strange brilliance. From the outside, no one could tell that he was over seventy years old.
"Are you really Old Man Zhuge?" Tang Feng blinked. Although the outline of his face had not changed, he still couldn't help but ask.
Old Zhuge Yu probably knew why the other party was so surprised, and said with a wry smile: "Now that I am like this, even I am not sure whether I am still Old Zhuge Yu."
"Mr. Tang, please come first and speak." He said and bowed slightly. If he didn't move out of the way, he would block the door even if he couldn't enter at all.
Zhuge Furong was also quite shocked and couldn't help but ask: "Grandpa, when did you become so fat? I remember that before you came to the imperial capital, you were only slightly fat."
Zhuge Yu still smiled bitterly and said: "If I knew, I'm afraid I wouldn't be like this."
He sighed again as he spoke, and continued: "Before coming, I went to the hospital for detailed examination, but none of the experts could figure out the cause."
Mao Shiba, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked: "Master, did you say before that Lord Zhuge was possessed by the most powerful Zimulianxingu in the world?"
Tang Feng nodded in silence.
Mao Shiba exclaimed: "Then why he became so fat is not a strange thing."
Zhuge Furong hurriedly asked: "But half a year ago, Tang Feng had already brought back the antidote and asked grandpa to take it. Shouldn't his poison be cured?"
Mao Shiba shook his head and said: "It's useless. If it were so easy to solve, then this mother-child poison would not be called the most strange poison in the world."
Tang Feng said nothing, but raised his eyebrows and said, "Old Man Mao, tell me why he is so fat?"
In fact, Tang Feng had long known that this kind of poisonous poison was extremely vicious. Although he took the antidote at that time, Tang Feng even suppressed the poison in the old man Zhuge Yu's body.
But the so-called letter-linked poison, the poison in Zhuge Yu's body is the poison of the daughter insect. If the mother insect does not die, then the poison in the old man's body will never be extinct.
Mao Shiba said: "The reason why he is so fat is nothing more than the deliberate poison of the worms in his body. The worms released their vitality and made him fat and strong."
Zhuge Furong exclaimed: "Zi Chongdu did it deliberately, why did it do this?"
Mao Shiba sneered and said: "Of course it's for itself. Once the worm feels that it's done, it will turn around and devour all the essence and blood in his body without leaving a drop."
"In this way, this worm will become more powerful. This is called captivity!"
Having said this, Mao Shiba paused, snorted coldly and said: "Actually, this is not the most important thing. The most powerful thing is that once the daughter worm devours the flesh and blood of the host, it will return to the mother worm.
Then, if you are eaten by the mother worm, not only the mother worm, but also the person who feeds the poison will be strengthened!"
Tang Feng suddenly took a breath of cold air. He really didn't expect that this child-mother heart-linking Gu could be so vicious.
