"I'm sorry, sister. I came here rashly because I have two questions to ask you!"
As soon as I spoke.
The owner of the Orchid Sect looked at me with a half-smile.
After a while, she said slowly:
"Sister? According to your age, you should call me aunt..."
Sure enough, what I thought before was right.
The owner of the Orchid Sect is indeed quite old.
I just don’t know if it’s their Orchid Gate’s unique beauty-preserving ability, or if it’s because she takes good care of herself.
In short, she looks very young.
"Tell me, what's the problem?"
The door owner looked at me and asked.
"At the end of last year, you went to Habei and visited the grave of a man named Mero. Can I ask, what is your relationship with this Mero?"
The door owner didn't answer my words.
Instead, she stared at me motionlessly with her unique peach blossom eyes.
After a while, he finally said:
"His name is not Mero, his name is Chu Changfeng!"
As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I couldn't help but feel shocked.
Chu Changfeng is my father's real name.
Mero was the pseudonym he used when traveling around the world.
Unexpectedly, this sect leader actually knew my father's real name.
Just as I was thinking about it, the door owner looked at me again and said:
"Your name is Chu Liu, right?"
I nodded.
"Then you should be Chu Changfeng's son?"
I never expected that this sect master would reveal my identity right away.
Many disguises, many lies that I have thought about before.
But at this time, it is no longer needed at all.
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone that you are Chu Changfeng's son. Are you looking for me today because you want to know about my relationship with your father? Or do you want to know about your father's past?"
The door owner spoke again and asked me.
"Want to know everything!"
I answered immediately.
The doorkeeper smiled.
Looking at the leftover wine and food on the table.
Suddenly, she asked me a strange question.
"Do you think there is real friendship between men and women?"
Master Hong once discussed this issue with me.
His point of view is very simple, what is a confidante and a best friend of the opposite sex?
It's all just nonsense about crazy men and women and self-hypnosis.
Of course I can't tell Master Hong's point of view to the sect owner.
After thinking about it, I said perfunctorily:
"Maybe?"
The door owner raised the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly.
"Of course, your father and I have this kind of unwavering friendship!"
As she spoke, she slowly stood up.
He walked to the dining table, took the wine bottle, and poured himself half a glass of wine.
She picked up the wine glass, smelled it gently, and then said quietly:
"When the son of an old friend comes, I will definitely tell everything. Chu Changfeng and I met in Bashu. That year, I first entered the world. Originally, I was working as a waiter serving tea in a dark place. But
Unexpectedly, one of the owners of this place suddenly took a fancy to me. After drinking, in front of a group of gamblers, he touched me. He even wanted to force me..."
Originally, the door owner was calm just now.
But when she said these words, her face showed a lot of hatred.
After taking a sip of wine, the door owner continued:
"Of course I refused. When I was struggling, I bit him. Unexpectedly, this bastard got so angry that he started to beat me in public. I can still remember that scene, and my head was bruised and bloody.
He actually had someone tie me up at the door, take off my coat, and pour cold water all over my body!"
The owner of the door held the wine glass, and the more he talked, the more he hated it.
"You have to know that it was the twelfth lunar month of winter. It was the coldest season of the year in Bashu. After a few basins of cold water, I was half frozen to death. At that moment, I promised the boss not to torture me anymore. I have never
Isn’t it okay to do it? But, that bastard didn’t even do it! Haha!”
While speaking, the door owner sighed heavily.
"I thought that I would be frozen to death that day. But I didn't expect that a man and several brothers passed by there. Seeing this scene, after asking what happened, he proposed to the boss that he wanted to spend some money to freeze to death.
I bought it. The boss didn’t know whether it was because he was drunk or because of his face. In short, he didn’t agree. He even said wildly that if anyone dared to meddle in other people’s business again, he would tie that person up as well..."
At this time, the door owner was completely lost in memories.
She looked up at the window and continued:
"I only remember at that time that the man only said two words to me, wait for me. Then, he led people into the venue. In fact, at that time, I had no hope. But I didn't expect that after a while,
, the boss went out to help me untie the rope. At that time, I didn’t know what happened. It wasn’t until after the incident that I understood..."
As he said that, the door owner looked at me and stretched out a finger.
"Ten minutes, only ten minutes. This man swept away all the cash in this place. Although the place was not big, there were hundreds of thousands of cash in circulation. At the same time, he also won me!"
"The boss was still a little dissatisfied. He threatened to ask the man if he dared to leave his name. The man only said two words, Mero. After finishing the sentence, the boss was dumbfounded. At that time, I didn't know what Mero was.
What does the name mean? Only later did I realize that Mero is the legend of Landao and the god in the hearts of crooks..."
The doorkeeper sighed softly.
Put the wine glass on the table.
He turned his head, looked at me, and said:
"Later, I also asked some long-established conmen. Why do these conmen admire Mero so much? They told me two points. The first is that Mero's thousands of magic skills have reached the pinnacle of elusiveness.
It’s such a situation. Even when facing seniors from Qianmen, no one can ever see how he got so far!”
"Secondly, although Mero is a con man, he rarely does anything heretical. Moreover, he still has the chivalrous and courageous spirit of the old-school Jianghu people. A flood disaster in a certain place in Kanto resulted in no grain harvest. Mero
He scattered all his millions of wealth with his hands. It is said that when he left there, he only had five dollars left in his hand..."
As he said this, the door owner actually smiled.
"There are really too many examples of this. If I were to tell you about it, it would probably take me all day and all night!"
I stood aside and listened silently.
But in my heart, I was in turmoil.
I have always felt that con men are just heretics.
But I never thought that my father was a con man.
But he regards Qian Shu as a tool to help others.
I can't do this.
It can even be said that I never thought about doing what he did.
