This small restaurant in a private courtyard is usually very lively, but today it was very quiet. All the tables in the courtyard were empty. Mr. Bao was sitting under a big tree drinking alone. He saw Chen Zhi coming in and waved.
Chen Zhi walked over and sat down, and the owner of the restaurant immediately greeted him. This owner knew Chen Zhi originally. Chen Zhi and Pang Wei were regular customers here last year, but the owner never paid attention to the identities of Chen Zhi and others.
But after Mr. Bao booked this place today, the boss's eyes on Chen Zhi changed obviously.
The boss's attitude was very enthusiastic and fearful. He didn't dare to say much. After letting Chen Zhi order a few dishes, he brought up two pots of Huangguo Shaobaigan. Huangguo is a specialty fruit of Z city. The wine is brewed from this fruit.
It is very refreshing and has a sweet taste. Chen Zhi, Pang Wei and Sanzi all drank this before.
After the food and wine were served, the boss withdrew and the yard became empty. Mr. Bao was very strange today. He didn't have anyone with him. Not even the blue belt samurai who was usually inseparable didn't follow him. The whole yard was empty.
Only he and Chen Zhi were left.
"How is your recovery going?" Mr. Bao asked casually, as if chatting casually, and poured Chen Zhi a glass of wine.
"Yeah! Not bad!" Chen Zhi picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
"You haven't eaten yet! Eat whatever you want..." After Mr. Bao finished speaking, he picked up his chopsticks and ordered the dishes on the table.
"Yeah!" Chen Zhi nodded, picked up the chopsticks and started picking up the food.
The two of them ate, drank, and ate again without talking to each other. The yard was eerily quiet, and they could only hear the rustling of leaves blown by the wind.
"Thank you for my father's affairs!" Chen Zhi lowered his head, picked up the wine glass, gestured, and drank a glass.
"Oh!" Mr. Bao responded casually. Then he put down his chopsticks, leaned on his seat, lit a cigarette and looked at Chen Zhi.
"What are your plans next?"
"I don't have any plans, it's just that I won't go back to the organization for the time being..." Chen Zhi continued to eat and answered.
"Oh!" Mr. Bao puffed out his cigarette and looked at Chen Zhi without any emotion on his face. He just looked at Chen Zhi for a long time and said,
"It's right to rest for a while! You can think about many things after being quiet! In fact, we are all pawns of fate. We are at the mercy of fate involuntarily. There is no way to escape, and no one can resent us. Once we have figured this out, we can
You know, don’t be too persistent.”
Mr. Bao flicked the ashes from his cigarette and continued,
"Pang Wei is alone in the south now and has no contact with anyone. He also needs time to quiet down. Although he is a little confused now, he will figure it out one day and he will come back to you at that time.
You tell him that he has not been betrayed, that he is a member of the organization, that no matter when he comes back, I will welcome him, and that I will always trust him, just like I trust you...".
Chen Zhi listened to what Master Bao said and did not answer or ask any questions. He just continued to eat and drink. At this time, he heard Master Bao continue to speak.
"When I was young, I always saw my adoptive father sitting on the throne, thinking that he was very majestic and could command thousands of troops on the throne. But now I know that my adoptive father is the loneliest man in the world.
Everyone is watching the leader, waiting for the leader to make a decision. Subordinates can make mistakes and be weak, but the leader can never make mistakes. The leader must always be correct. If he makes a mistake, he will pay a huge price...
So a long time ago, Jiang Ziya retired as a minister and gave up the throne to Ji Fa. This may be a choice...".
"He not only gave up the throne, but also gave up the freedom of his descendants, allowing his descendants to live in bondage for generations..." When Chen Zhi said this, he put down his chopsticks, but did not raise his head to look at Master Bao.
"Haha!" Mr. Bao laughed softly after hearing Chen Zhi's words.
"As far as I know, if the descendants of the Jiang family really want to be free, nothing can restrain them. The only thing that can restrain them is their own hearts..."
After Mr. Bao finished speaking, he stopped talking and just kept drinking. He rarely drank a lot tonight, but he didn't feel drunk at all.
When it was almost early in the morning, Master Bao suddenly stood up, took out the magic ring that could restrain Chen Zhi's magic power from his arms, and gently placed it in front of Chen Zhi.
"Let me tell you, my adoptive father left the throne to me before he died. For thousands of years, the Ji family has never passed the throne to anyone with a foreign surname. I am the first. This is not easy for me. I hope you can
Support me and come to me when you figure it out...".
After Master Bao finished speaking, he pushed the magic ring forward, then patted Chen Zhi on the shoulder and left...
It was already very late when Chen Zhi returned to the nursing home. He then began to pack his luggage and prepare to be discharged at dawn.
During this period of time, he has been living in a nursing home and has never returned home. Although his father is no longer here, Chen Zhi's best memories are in that house, and the shadows of Fat Wei and Qin Yueyang are still there...
After packing his luggage, Chen Zhi took out the pile of linen paper that his mother left in the black cat, and lay on the bed and read through the pages. The last few pages of the pile of linen paper were all about spiritual stones that changed lives.
A spell, but the first one is a letter.
At that time, due to hypnosis restrictions in Chen Zhi's mind, he would get a headache when he read this letter, so he never knew the content of the letter, but now, the letter has been completely displayed in front of Chen Zhi's eyes.
This is a handwritten letter left by Chen Zhi’s mother to Chen Zhi:
"Xiao Zhi, when you see this letter, I should be no longer alive. When I abandoned my family and escaped from your father, everything was already doomed, and I should pay the price for it. But for you,
I feel very guilty that I am not a dedicated mother.
From the moment you were born, I felt that I was the happiest person in the world. You are so cute, like a little angel, and you will always hold my heart. I am reluctant to leave this world, but life is helpless.
of.
I really can't bear to leave you alone in this world. I don't know what you will face in the future and how much hardship you will endure. But remember, you have relatives around you. Your uncle has always been thinking about us very much. He promised
I will take care of you.
As for your father, I have nothing to say. He thinks he is the smartest person in the world, but in my eyes, he is the stupidest person in the world.
The happiness God bestowed upon mankind has been ruined by him. Family affection, love, friendship, the most beautiful feelings in the world, have all been ruined by him.
He deceived himself, thinking that his wisdom could defeat everything and that he did not need useless emotions. In fact, if there are no emotions, what is the meaning of human life? Your father was a poor man. He had nothing until the last moment of his life.
…
Xiaozhi, live the life you want! Don't force yourself to take any responsibility, because no one in this world has to take responsibility. Cherish your life and do what you want to do!
