A piece of red cloth, wrapped inside is a two-inch square jade plaque. There are no words on the jade plaque, only some seemingly inexplicable patterns.
"Take it back. This is your thing." Old Man Liao put the jade plaque on the table and pushed it in front of Xue Wusuan. His eyes showed some pity that was rarely shown in front of Xue Wusuan, but he quickly covered it up, knowing that
What I hate most about the child I raised is this kind of "pity".
"Why are you here?" Xue Wusuan frowned and asked, not picking up the jade plaque on the table, but looking at Old Man Liao next to him.
"How else could it come? It was redeemed."
The word "redemption" aroused deep curiosity in Zhou Huiru, who was dining at the same table. But in this situation and her understanding of her man, now is definitely not the time to ask. Silence is the best response. Maybe what they will do next
You can hear some reasons in the words.
Xue Wusuan's experience can be regarded as complex and subversive of ordinary people's thinking. He has experienced many storms and waves, many bizarre and fantasy, and even bloody killing has become a method he is accustomed to now. He is a demon, but there are countless creatures.
He is a god, and there is no need to switch between gods and demons, but it has actually turned Xue Wusuan's current mentality into stone.
A hard-hearted person or a hard-hearted god and demon, when he saw the jade tablet on the table, he felt filled with resentment and his face was filled with frost.
In an instant, Xue Wusuan, who had been unable to control himself for a long time, was pulled back to the past unstoppably.
Thirteen-year-old Xue Wusuan had a falling out with the equally stubborn old man Liao because of his rebelliousness. He ran out of the orphanage angrily and vowed in his heart that he would never go back if he didn't behave like a human being. This had nothing to do with any grudge, he was just a rebellious boy.
There was an episode with a stubborn adult, and it was this episode that ultimately led to Xue Wusuan's current character due to their tempers, and Old Man Liao's deep guilt for Xue Wusuan.
It was raining that day, and Xue Wusuan clearly remembered how he felt when the raindrops hit his face to cover up the tears.
It is certain that a child in an orphanage is penniless, but it does not mean that he has nothing to gain. The jade plaque placed on the table now was the only one that Xue Wusuan had on him when he ran out of the orphanage.
A valuable item.
The jade plaque had no name. Anyway, Xue Wusuan never thought of giving it a name. He only knew that this thing was swaddled in his swaddling clothes when Old Man Liao picked it up.
To be honest, Xue Wusuan, who was thirteen years old at the time, didn't really like this jade plaque. The reason why he kept it with him was just to prove that he once had a father and a mother.
Without money, life will be very difficult, especially hunger, which makes it even more difficult for thirteen-year-old Xue Wusuan. But maybe it is because he is born with tolerance, or maybe he has a temper like the old man Liao, so such a half-year-old child can actually
Carrying it all his life, he refused to give in, and this was the beginning of his ups and downs in being called a "mad dog" on the street.
Even now, Xue Wusuan still remembers having a meal that he is still not satisfied with. It was the night of the third Saturday after he ran out of the orphanage. He relied on picking up leftovers or stealing.
Xue Wusuan, who barely managed to avoid starving to death, finally couldn't bear it anymore. He never thought about going back, but he walked into a pawn shop, a black shop without business qualifications.
The reason why he knew about this black pawn shop was that a street boy told him that some "boss" had made a fortune by relying on this black and white business.
It was also at that time that Xue Wusuan had the most intuitive and naive reverie about the word "boss": being a boss means being rich.
In order not to starve to death, he went into a pawn shop and pawned the jade plaque that "proved that Xue Wusuan had had an affair with my mother" for fifty yuan. It was the fifty yuan that Xue Wusuan got that made Xue Wu
I walked into a small restaurant, ordered a piece of braised pork, and had a comfortable meal that I will never forget.
Of course, in addition to hunger and hardship, the reason why this meal remains so fresh in my memory is because from that time on, Xue Wusuan completely cut off the only connection between his "parents" and himself, and even took the initiative to do so.
Forgot.
Memories came back one after another, and for the first time Wudao Yama, who had already conquered several planes, tasted the complex emotions of being unable to look back on the past and also missing and complaining. For a moment, he stared blankly at the jade on the table.
He was distracted by the cards and could not speak for a long time. The aura on his body became more and more sinister and sinister unconsciously, making Old Man Liao and Zhou Huiru at the table feel more and more uncomfortable. At the same time, they understood that Xue Wusuan's current mood was extremely unstable.
At this time, the first reaction Zhou Huiru could think of was to hug her man. She instinctively felt that her man was in danger, and the only thing that could help him was her warm embrace.
Old Man Liao was very courageous, and he always regarded Xue Wusuan as a child. Even though he was a little frightened by the aura of Xue Wusuan, he would not shy away or flinch. He directly picked up the jade tablet and placed it on the
Xue Wusuan took it into Xue Wusuan's hand and said with a smile: "I watched you when you were pawned as a jade card, and I ran it back for you as soon as I stepped in. I never worried you that you didn't want it. Now that you are married, you should be able to
Do you understand?"
Old Man Liao spoke with a smile, but there was mist in his eyes. The guilt in his heart made him feel heartbroken every time he thought about it. He blamed himself for not catching Xue Wusuan back in the first place and letting this stubborn child go.
It's a wrong path, and it's impossible to turn back later. Even Old Man Liao always felt that Xue Wu was the only thing in his life that made him ashamed of his conscience.
The sudden acquisition of the jade plaque made Xue Wusuan tremble all over, and he felt the warmth on Zhou Huiru's body, which made Xue Wusuan free from memories. This experience made him feel like he was human again, and then
Return to reality and understand that not even you, even the unruly Yama, can do anything about the past. Apart from memories, the only thing left is to rely on various emotions to relive the past.
"I'm fine. Let's eat." Xue Wusuan still did not throw away the jade token that Old Man Liao had put into his hand. He raised the glass and Old Man Liao touched it and drank it. The aura on his body returned to its previous masked state.
.It’s just that the complex emotions in his eyes have become stronger than when he fell into memories just now.
A long-lost "birthday" party satisfied Zhou Huiru's "life adjustment" for Xue Wusuan, and at the same time, Xue Wusuan also got something that he had never expected before.
After returning home, he watched an online drama with Zhou Huiru, and then held her in his arms until she fell asleep. Xue Wusuan got up and walked to the balcony. With a wine bottle in one hand and a jade tablet in the other, his eyes were psychedelic and incomprehensible.
A little bit of mana started to flow, and it actually entered the jade tablet unimpeded. The inexplicable lines on it seemed to come alive, emitting a faint light, appearing eight feet in the air on the jade tablet, forming strange shapes one by one.
