"Yin Yang Grass is so poisonous, what are you going to do if it backfires? There are also Five Thunder Palms, do you want to die?"
"If we don't get rid of him now, then his tricks will continue to appear one after another in the future. Jiaolong, do you know that you are about to become the most famous onmyoji in the northern city. If Liu Sun has the opportunity, he will delay you."
It’s something.”
I frowned and my voice was very low, "I don't want to talk about my reputation now. How can you kill someone? This is killing. You have forgotten the oath you swore. You must never use your skills to harm others."
ah."
"I'm not harming people, I'm just eliminating harm for the people. Don't worry, since I dare to take his life, then I have a way to solve it. I'll be fine here, but in the past few months, I may have to go into seclusion.
We may lose contact for a while, but don't worry, I will definitely appear in front of you."
I suddenly couldn't say anything else. I'm not afraid of Sun Jiji's death. After all, that kind of person is a scum that is harmful to others even if he is alive. But Cheng Baize and I are friends, although I think it's a bit cruel for Cheng Baize to take Sun Jiji's life like this.
, but to be honest, I was more worried about what would happen to Cheng Baize because of this.
"Why don't you speak? If you don't speak, I will die."
I lowered my eyes: "Cheng Baize, I know Sun Jiji is not very good, and he has always regarded us as enemies, but human life is at stake..."
"Okay, I understand what you mean, and I also know that you can't do such a thing, but since I've already taken action, don't say too much. I promise, I won't do it again."
As he said that, he sighed: "Jiaolong, although I can't be by your side now, but you remember, I won't let you be in any danger. Compared with the safety of your only friend, that little bit
What does the backlash mean? You know, bullying you is equivalent to bullying me. You have many rules and regulations, but I may not have them, and I don’t care about them."
I bit my lip, feeling very complicated in my heart: "Do you want me to say thank you, or do you want me to scold you? I'm tired of scolding you."
"No need to say thank you, there is no need between us, and don't scold me. After all, we are separated by a radio wave. I don't know if you are really angry. I can't coax you in person. Therefore, I will not let myself hide anything from you.
, I don’t want to add some misunderstandings, okay, let’s not talk anymore, it’s not convenient for me to talk for too long here, take care of yourself and wait until I get back.”
I opened my mouth: "Well, you should also take care of yourself."
Cheng Baize smiled weakly on the phone: "I will. Maybe when I go back, your reputation in the north will be much higher than mine. Come on, classmate Jiaolong."
I twitched the corner of my mouth, but felt a little uncomfortable in my heart: "I will."
Until he hung up the phone, I didn't say a single word of complaint. His behavior really went against my original intention of becoming an Onmyoji. It was just like what he did when he poisoned me last time. I should have been very upset.
I am angry, but I feel that I have no right to be angry, because he paid the price himself to make my life better. Because of this, I feel that I can’t say anything. Cheng Baize has really done a lot for me.
, from the perspective of a friend, he worries about me even more than I do myself. How can I be so virtuous and capable? How can I repay this love...
…
"Jiaolong, don't you think Cheng Baize has gone too far? After all, this is a murder. You can't label him as a good person just because he killed a bad person. This is
Did it just pass by so lightly?"
Early in the morning, on the way back by car, Zong Bao didn't know where his nerves were. He suddenly opened his mouth and started talking about Cheng Baize.
I turned the steering wheel lightly and responded directly: "Then what do you want me to say? The facts have already been established."
Zong Bao's face looked a little bad, and he shook his head: "Anyway, I didn't sleep well last night. I was just thinking about him. No matter how I thought about it, I felt something was wrong. Having said that, even if I kill Sun Youyou, it won't be a big deal.
I killed him because of you, Sun Jiji is also a threat to himself."
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. If you keep complaining there, I will regret telling you this. It's better to let you know nothing like Xiaoke and save yourself so much.
.”
Zong Bao looked at me helplessly: "I just think this matter is very serious. You can't just take human life if you ask for it. Moreover, there is something wrong with his attitude. He doesn't think this is a matter at all. Besides, I think he said
It’s for your sake, it makes people uncomfortable to listen to.”
I breathed out: "You mean, you feel comfortable hearing that he said he killed Sun Jiji for himself?"
"Of course not." Zong Bao turned his head and looked out the window: "Anyway, I think it's best for you to keep a distance from him. As an Onmyoji, he is both good and evil. This is not a good thing."
I opened my mouth and stopped at the red light at the intersection. I turned around and glanced at Zong Bao: "But he is my best friend. It's not like you haven't seen the Five Thunder Palm thing with your own eyes."
"I can't tell you clearly. It's nonsense that he wanted to kill you in the first place. If he doesn't kill you, does it mean he's being kind to you?"
"It's not that I'm kind, I just feel sorry for him. That slap hit him. It was fatal. It's not like you don't know that."
Zong Bao stopped responding, took out his cell phone and started reading the news, announcing that the chat with me was over.
I have no interest in continuing the conversation like this. First of all, I know everything Zong Bao said, and it’s not that I can’t see it clearly. Sometimes Cheng Baize does like to kill first and then tell the story later, but the affection between me and him has accumulated to a certain extent.
One thing, Zong Bao can understand it enough, and everyone understands the truth, but because it is mixed with emotions, for many things, I think whoever I want to put it on has to move forward in a state of self-contradiction.
No one spoke, which made me feel quite depressed. I was just about to play some music when my phone rang. I glanced at the caller and put on my headphones: "Hey, cousin."
"Hey, Jiaolong, I called you last time. It seemed that a friend of yours answered the phone and said you were sick. Are you feeling better?"
"Well, it was just a minor problem with me. It's fine now. Cousin, don't worry about it."
"It's okay. I wonder if your friend who answered the phone told you, Jiaolong, Xiao Tao is getting married the day after tomorrow. Your second aunt said that you saved Xiao Tao's eyes that time.
Yes, otherwise you will be blind. When I say that I have to invite you to come, I will have to go up to the stage and say a few words. You must be rewarded."
I was a little embarrassed. Before I went home, I called Aunt Sun. She said that she really couldn't stand it anymore. She was so fierce when my eldest aunt was making troubles. She seemed to be really like my eldest uncle when she was being fucked there.
It was as if her shoes were worn out, so she waited for me to go back and quit. I was anxious to go back because I had to deal with Aunt Sun's matter. After all, my grandfather's situation was the top priority in my heart. I wanted to get married to Xiaotao.
You can give blessings, but actually thinking about it, it’s really hard to decide whether to go or not.
"Cousin, I..."
"Don't say no, your cousin, even my Liping is still talking about you. Jiaolong, I know you are busy, just spare a day. I can drive to pick you up. If you
If you don’t come, my cousin is really being picky this time. Why can’t I give you even a day of my time? My cousin already regards you as his niece. Jiaolong, can you just give your cousin some face?”
I really realized what it means to be warm and welcoming. If I couldn't go, I would be stuck in my throat and couldn't say anything. I nodded: "Okay, this is a big happy event for my cousin. If you can come to me to bless me, I'll do it."
It’s not too late to be happy.”
"Hey, that's right. Then I'll get a car to pick you up."
"No, I'll just drive there by myself. Don't worry, I will definitely be there before Xiao Tao's ceremony starts."
"Hey, then we are just waiting for you. We are getting ready, and we are going to let you go on stage to speak." The joy in my cousin's tone was indescribable, "Be careful when driving. I will tell your second aunt and her family the news now."
ah."
I gently touched the corner of my mouth and said, "Okay."
After the phone was disconnected, Zong Bao looked at me: "Did you go to that cousin's place?"
I said 'hmm' and didn't say much.
Zong Bao nodded: "Good things, there should be unexpected gains."
I didn't answer. If I go by what Lao Xian'er told Wu, if I gained momentum by attending Xiao Tao's wedding, then I really don't want that, because my place can be used for sure.
It's just that some evil things will happen. It's just Xiaotao's wedding. I hope it will go smoothly. I have passed the anxious stage of wanting to be a big man at the beginning. In other words, I will get up early and get up late.
It doesn’t matter anymore. My mentality has already undergone some subtle changes over the years. I should show it to others, and I really don’t want to think of anything on Xiaotao’s big day.
Bad head.
As soon as the car stopped at the door of the house, Aunt Sun came out first and looked at me with red eyes: "Xiao Lin, you are finally back. I really can't stay in this house for another minute!!"
I pushed open the door and got out of the car, saying, "Aunt Sun, don't worry, my aunt just tried to bully you again?"
Aunt Sun sighed: "She is always there. As long as she opens her eyes, as long as she sees me, what she says will be thorny. When you went to the city two days ago, she was there again.
There was a big fuss, which got the old man into trouble and even got into a quarrel with her. Your eldest uncle was also angry with her, so he just got out of the car and left. After your eldest uncle left, your eldest aunt became even more energetic and started talking every day.
Scolding me, saying that I was the son of a vixen, and that I came here purely to destroy her family. Xiaolin, what do you think I am doing at such an old age? The old man is really good, and I think you are pretty good too.
In our industry, as long as our boss doesn't pick on us, we don't like to change homes and adapt again. Even your aunt, I really can't resist it. Xiaolin, don't try to persuade me. In this family, I
It’s a matter of life or death.”
I frowned: "What about my mother? Doesn't she care if my aunt talks nonsense?"
Aunt Sun was so excited and aggrieved that she wiped her tears: "What are you talking about? She takes care of your dad every day. Your dad was sent to the hospital two days ago because of alcohol poisoning. He said that drinking like this will hurt his liver."
She has become hardened, how can she care about anything else? Your family situation is too special. If you only take care of the old man, I have nothing to say. You can just reduce my salary, but now you have to take care of your aunt.
One, it’s almost going to kill me!”
"Hey, Qiaoqiao is back."
The aunt also came out when she heard the sound. She looked at Aunt Sun wiping her tears and rolled her eyes at her: "I knew you were complaining here. What's the matter? It's not enough to cry to the old man every day that I'm not enough, and now you're here with me."
My niece is the picky one here, let me tell you, as a nurturing man like you, don’t work as a nanny in other people’s homes in the future. Isn’t that what people do to keep worrying about other people’s men? Bah, look.
I'm disgusted by the unlucky way you cry. After everything has been done, who are you crying for?"
Aunt Sun's face turned red and she looked at my aunt: "Why do you say that to me, catching thieves and stealing, catching rapists in pairs? You have no proof, how can you speak so confidently? This is not bullying.
What!"
The aunt frowned: "Oh, you want me to tuck you two into bed, you are so honest, you old bastard, I can see from your eyes that you are not a good bird."
, you still pretend to be a big-tailed wolf with me. I, Lin Xinyun, have never experienced any storms in my life, so you pretend to me that you are young, you know, if you stick your butt out, I will know what kind of girl you are!"
"Xiao Lin, you have heard it. I am a man in his forties or fifties, and I get pointed at my nose and scolded every day. Am I here to work or am I here to suffer? I can't stand it anymore. I will leave now. I will pay for my wages."
No more, I just want my ears to be clean!!"
Not to mention that Aunt Sun's words made Aunt Sun so shameless that even I, a bystander, couldn't stand listening to them. The scolding was so loud that she was even worse than a shrew!
"Go away! Go and cause harm to anyone's family. We won't keep you in our family!!" The aunt's face was domineering, and her whole body was filled with the spirit of "I am the head of the family": "Don't cry here.
You're wearing urine, you're shameless and we, the old Lin family, are still shameless!!"
"enough!!"
I grabbed Aunt Sun who was about to hide her face and run away, and looked directly at my aunt: "Auntie, if you know that you are from the Lin family and this is the front door of the Lin family, then you must be more careful when speaking, otherwise
, it’s not Aunt Sun who has disgraced the Lin family, but you who have disgraced the Lin family!”
The aunt's brows stood up: "Lin Qiao, what do you mean, you are facing outsiders!"
I stood straight and looked at my aunt: "Aunt Sun is not an outsider. She was invited by me to take care of my grandfather, and I paid for it. In other words, even if I talk about her, I can only say, you didn't
Do you understand that qualification?"
"Ha." The aunt opened her mouth and pointed at herself in disbelief: "I don't have the qualifications. I am your aunt. She wants to seduce your uncle. I don't have the qualifications to say it?"
"Do you have any evidence? Don't tell me about your eyes. If that happens, women all over the street will have thoughts about my uncle. Can you scold me?"
With that said, I took Aunt Sun's hand and went directly into the yard. With such a master in the stall at home, you really can't stop even if you want to.
"Hey, Lin Qiao, stop! What do you mean? You don't want your aunt to be well, do you? She is the nanny! I am your aunt, do you know it? I will tell you today
Let’s be clear, if that bastard doesn’t leave the Lin family, then no one will be able to live in peace!! Stop right there and don’t enter the house..."
Grandpa was in his bedroom with his eyes closed and concentrating. When he heard my knock on the door, he sat up and said, "Jiaolong, you are back."
I hummed, tried my best to block out my aunt's yelling and cursing in the yard, and sat directly beside his bed: "Did you miss me?"
Grandpa nodded, but then frowned, glanced out the window, and then looked at Aunt Sun who was still wiping tears: "Jiaolong, is your aunt scolding my grandson outside again?"
I was a little helpless, but I still nodded: "Well, just pretend you didn't hear her, she is just that kind of person."
Grandpa let out a long sigh: "Oh, I listen to her scolding every day, and my heart can't bear it. She is that woman who has reached menopause. She is just looking for trouble and wants to fight. She is scolding her for anything.
, Xiaosun scolded me so much that I couldn’t bear to listen to what she said, and she didn’t feel ashamed to panic.”
Aunt Sun sniffed next to her and said, "Uncle, I think I'd better go. She'll have to scold me every day I'm here. Don't let your family get along badly because of me. I won't blame you for that."
I can’t afford it.”
As she said that, Aunt Sun looked at me again: "Xiao Lin, I'm fine. If I don't work anymore, I can just change the environment. I know you are very filial and want your grandpa to be well, but this environment is really not good for you.
If you don't live here, you wouldn't know. You are really angry. They are arguing every day. Either your mother and your father are arguing because of his drinking, or your aunt is arguing because your mother said slander to your father.
Besides, your uncle is at home and they are having sex, every day, with no quiet time at all. You should make other plans for your grandpa. He is not sick, but the most important thing is that he needs to get sick.
It makes him feel good, don't you think?"
Grandpa waved his hand directly: "I'm fine, Jiaolong, this is a busy time for you, don't count me out, I'm old, I can do it anywhere, as long as there is a bunk where I can sleep, little
Sun really can't stay here any longer. Let alone her, I think the neighbor's eyes are unbearable. It makes your aunt feel like something is wrong. Judging from this situation,
Don't bother me with any nannying in the future. It's useless. Your aunt is no good and has become a picky person. Unless you listen to her, no one can talk to her."
I gritted my teeth without saying a word, but I was thinking of finding a compromise. After all, Aunt Sun took good care of my grandpa, and I didn’t want her to leave. Moreover, if Aunt Sun hadn’t said this today, I would have
I didn’t know that my grandpa was so upset here.
Seeing that I didn't answer, my grandpa, probably afraid of causing trouble to me, quickly said: "I'm fine, Jiaolong. I'm fine here. I have a bad memory. Even if I get angry after the quarrel, I will forget it the next day. You
Go about your business, don't plot against grandpa, it's okay, this family still depends on you."
Raising my eyes, I looked directly at Aunt Sun: "Aunt Sun, do you think this will work? You and my grandpa will move into the house where I live now. If so, why would you continue to work in my house?"
Aunt Sun was stunned for a moment: "Isn't your house a two-bedroom house? If the old man and I go there, we won't have anywhere to live."
I took a deep breath: "Zong Bao and I have moved out. We will make do in the store for the next two days. You and my grandpa will share a two-bedroom apartment. This way, it will be cleaner. You will only take care of me."
Grandpa can do it alone, do you think it’s okay?”
Aunt Sun looked at me in disbelief and smiled: "Okay, that's great. Then you can give me a little reduction in salary. As long as you leave your aunt, I can do whatever I want."
"No." Grandpa refused directly and looked at me: "Jiaolong, do you have to rent a house when we go? That's not possible. How much will it cost? I won't leave if I don't leave."
Stay here."
"Grandpa!" I pretended to be a little sulky: "I don't have to spend money to live in a hotel. Besides, I am very busy now. I have to go out every now and then to show people Feng Shui and other things. The house is empty, so I
How many days can we live in a month? You don’t have to go. Anyway, I’ve spent all the money and the house will be empty. And I have to go out tomorrow. Do the math. Should you go and save money, or should I leave it empty?
Don’t save money.”
Grandpa was silent, looked at me and opened his mouth: "Then, then..."
"What about that, grandpa, just listen to me." As I said that, I looked directly at Aunt Sun: "Aunt Sun, now I just need to pack up what my grandpa needs to use, and just get in the car. If you need anything, I'll pick it up."
Come back and get it."
"Hey, okay." Aunt Sun's mood immediately improved. She found a bag and started to put some commonly used medicines for grandpa. She looked at grandpa and said, "Uncle, our ears are about to be clean."
Aunt Sun was so quick with her hands and feet that she was able to finish everything in a short while. Zong Bao helped carry the things into the trunk of the car. At first, Aunt Sun thought Aunt Sun was leaving, and she was tired of scolding herself.
I sat proudly in the living room and drank tea. While drinking tea, I said: "I have to watch you and don't take away my things." Finally, I saw some of my grandpa's things were also put into the car.
Feeling something was wrong, I quickly went upstairs and called my mother down.
"Qiaoqiao, where are you taking your grandpa..."
I just helped my grandpa into the car, turned around and looked at my mother who came out after hearing the sound, and opened my mouth: "Mom, I have to go out a lot recently, isn't my house always empty?
Send him to my place to live for a while, and treat him as a housekeeper for me."
The aunt stood behind her mother, and then sneered: "Pull her down, it must be that bitch named Sun who instigated her. Qiao Qiao, don't be deceived by her. Maybe she won't even let your grandfather go if you look back."
.”
"Sister, what are you talking about!" Before I could say anything, my mother immediately became unhappy and turned around to glare at her: "You have been scolding me for so many days without any basis or evidence, and I don't think she did anything too much.
"Okay, it's almost done. My dad is still ill. Can he bear your scolding every day?"
The aunt curled her lips: "I didn't scold my uncle. Why don't you like it? My kind and well-intentioned reminder has become a different person inside and outside. Okay, I won't say anything. Okay, she's gone anyway."
I'll be satisfied if she gets her, then don't let me see her again."
Mom glanced at my aunt with the end of her eyes, and then stretched out her hand to pull me aside: "Qiaoqiao, it's okay to let your grandpa go out to live for a few days. There is indeed a lot of noise in this house. But, I want to ask you, what happened before?"
Did you see that Zhuo Jing when you went to the city a few days ago?"
I was stunned for a moment. I didn’t expect my mother to actually say this to me. In my impression, ever since we had a conversation about whether I was a boy or a girl, we were so cold that we would never talk about this at all: “I saw it.”
.”
Mom nodded, and a smile suddenly appeared on her face: "Someone from the neighbor showed me the newspaper and said that you were in the newspaper. Go and see the Feng Shui of the City of One Heart, right? As soon as I figured it out, you are
You are destined to be with that Zhuo Jing, Qiao Qiao, so you two have nothing to talk about. Do you still have feelings for each other? He is very powerful now. He is the big boss. You must seize the opportunity."
I was a little speechless and said a few words: "Just leave this matter alone. Is my dad okay?"
"He's still drinking. He'll go to bed after drinking too much." Mom wasn't interested in Dad's topic and pulled my hand: "Qiaoqiao, you must listen to mom. Where can a person like that go?
Look for it, you must not be stupid, you know?"
"Mom, he and I..."
"Oh, Huijuan, why are you always teaching these things to Qiao Qiao? Are she and Xiao Jing suitable? We are a family. I am happy whether it is An Qi and Xiao Jingcheng or Qiao Qiao and Xiao Jingcheng, but this matter
It's not what we say. We told An Qi about it when she called her. Xiao Jing's mother specially called An Qi and told An Qi to study hard and arrange for her to work at Zhuo's as soon as she came back from graduation.
That Xiaojing has grown up watching An Qi, and has feelings for An Qi. Have you heard of the City of One Heart in the city? The news today said that it will not be built, and the Ferris wheel will be rebuilt. An Qi specially
She called me and said that she had mentioned the idea of building a Ferris wheel before. Look, now a Ferris wheel has been built. They are all on the same level. Does Qiao Qiao understand these things? She doesn’t understand anything.
Let her follow the same path as her grandma and let others see things in the countryside!"
My face darkened, I turned around and got directly into the car. I started the car with an expressionless expression, leaving the sound of my mother and aunt arguing far behind me. (To be continued)
