Chapter 3 The Mystery of Self-Abandoning Martial Arts
If the father didn't know about them, why would he use this envelope to send the letter?
The only explanation for this is that my father trusted the person who prepared the envelope in advance.
The only people my father could trust so much were my great-grandfather and grandpa.
From this point, Xie Liuyun once again confirmed his judgment that the envelope must be related to great-grandfather and grandfather.
Xie Liuyun continued his analysis. He picked up the letter and read the words his father left for him.
Reading between the lines, it can be seen that his father had a premonition that he would be in danger, so he asked himself to send the letter.
Xie Liuyun did not understand the deeper meaning of the two lines in the letter, but he did understand the literal meaning.
But what he can be sure of is that at this special time, the letter he sent must be to inform the other party that something happened to him.
No one will tell their own affairs to irrelevant strangers, this is human nature.
When something happens, if you tell someone specifically, what does it mean if you don’t ask for help?
Regarding this point, Xie Liuyun believed that his judgment was not wrong.
In this case, Xie Liuyun was very puzzled. His father had a premonition that something might happen to him, so why didn't he send this letter for help early?
If you are alone and unable to avoid the coming disaster, wouldn't it be a good choice to seek help from the outside world in time to resolve the crisis?
What also puzzled Xie Liuyun was why his father didn't directly tell him the details?
Even if you can't do anything to help, it's still better than not knowing anything.
Regarding his father's disappearance, Xie Liuyun felt helpless and didn't know where to start working hard.
My father hoped that he could proactively discover what he left behind, but if he never discovered it, wouldn't his efforts have been in vain?
For something with such little hope, my father insisted on doing it, which shows that the thing he encountered must be extremely dangerous, otherwise he would not be so cautious.
Now, his father asked him, who knew nothing, to finish sending the letter, which made Xie Liuyun feel helpless and also very helpless.
He couldn't figure this out, so he simply stopped thinking about it. Xie Liuyun looked at the words "Xie Chunyu" on the envelope and thought about it.
What is the purpose of my great-grandfather or grandpa writing this name at the end of the letter?
Is this the old man’s intention, or is he complying with his agreement with someone?
Is the agreement made a hundred years ago still valid today?
A series of questions swirled in Xie Liuyun's mind, making him feel as if he was being pressed down by something weighing hundreds of kilograms, and he was a little out of breath.
Faced with this strange letter, the inexplicable message, and his father's disappearance for no reason, Xie Liuyun suddenly sat down on his chair in despair, feeling that he had no energy at all.
I don't know how long it took before Xie Liuyun gradually regained some of his vitality.
He steeled himself, picked up the letter and paper from the table and looked at it.
Xie Liuyun could not remember the origin of these poems, but he felt that his father would not write them for no reason. There must be a mystery in them.
It's just that I haven't understood the deep meaning contained in this poem yet.
In order to avoid forgetting, he found paper and pen from the desk and wrote down all the contents of the letter and the letterhead.
Then, he rolled the written paper into a long strip, folded it, and put it in his coat pocket.
After doing this, Xie Liuyun sat at his desk, looked at the entire room, and fell into deep thought.
A week ago, Xie Liuyun, who had just returned from a bridge construction site, had a rare day off.
The father was very happy to see that his son, who had not been home for nearly half a month, was back.
In order to improve his son's food, he went to the vegetable market and bought a two-pound carp and made Xie Liuyun's favorite braised carp.
The aroma of that meal seems to still linger in my home to this day.
Xie Liuyun couldn't help but shrugged his nose. I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but he still felt that he could still vaguely smell the fragrance of the vegetables.
Thinking of this, Xie Liuyun felt a deep sting in his heart.
In order to relieve his depressed emotions, he took a deep breath.
After his mood stabilized a little, he put away the contents of the wooden box, then took the wooden box, turned off the desk lamp and chandelier in the room, returned to his room, lay on the bed with his clothes on, and stared at the roof.
Stayed.
My father, Xie Tingsong, works as a mathematics teacher in the only middle school in the county. He teaches rigorously and treats students strictly and kindly. His conduct is deeply loved by the students.
Who would such a person who is uncontested in both work and life provoke?
In other words, what kind of hidden secrets are there that are not known to the public?
Xie Liuyun thought for a while and found that he really had no clue.
However, since his father disappeared, tonight's discovery finally made some progress, which made Xie Liuyun feel somewhat relieved.
Now that he was in a slightly better mood, he felt a little hungry and started to make "gurgling" sounds.
He had to go to the kitchen to see if there was anything to eat.
Lifting the lid of the pot on the stove, he found that there were still some leftover noodles from the morning in the pot. He took out a porcelain bowl from the cupboard, put all the noodles into the bowl with chopsticks, and then picked up the pot and poured out the noodles inside.
Pour the soup over the noodles.
Just as he was about to leave the kitchen, he turned back and picked some meat sauce from the clay pot on the cupboard and put it in a bowl. Then he walked to the dining room with the bowl in hand, sat at the dining table, and ate noodles with his head down.
Although he ate cold noodles with cold soup, he was really hungry. After a while, he finished a large bowl of noodles, including soup and noodles, in three times.
After filling his stomach, Xie Liuyun took the dishes and chopsticks to the sink in the kitchen and turned on the faucet to wash them.
The cold water stimulated his hands, making him feel chilled to the bone.
Now, it is only the early autumn, and the weather is not very cold. At most, it makes people feel a little chilly in the morning and evening.
Xie Liuyun, who has always been physically strong, has never been afraid of cold or heat since he was a child. His physical strength is so strong that one would not believe that he is an engineer who specializes in design and planning.
Anyone who has seen him shirtless will say that he is definitely a martial arts practitioner. In ancient times, he must have been a chivalrous knight, not a polite scholar.
Every time he heard such comments, Xie Liuyun would laugh and think it was just a nonsense joke.
Who knows, but dozens of generations of his ancestors are really martial arts practitioners, and they are not ordinary people.
His good figure was inherited from his family and was born with him.
As a member of a martial arts family, his great-grandfather Xie Yifeng was highly skilled in martial arts and was famous in the Kaifeng area.
His grandfather, Xie Shiyuan, was not weak in martial arts and was especially famous for his amazing arm strength.
But for some unknown reason, after Xie Yifeng decided to move his family to Hangzhou and finally settled in Tonglu, he deliberately concealed his martial arts skills.
Xie Tingsong was still an infant at that time, so he didn't know these things.
When Xie Tingsong was growing up, he never received any training in martial arts. Xie Yifeng and Xie Shiyuan firmly stopped the inheritance of martial arts in their family.
After growing up, Xie Tingsong entered a normal school and became a middle school teacher after graduation.
From the outside, their family looks like an ordinary intellectual family.
Xie Tingsong is a pure scholar. His daily exercise is to do aerobics and take a walk. He does not know any martial arts.
Xie Liuyun, like his father, has a good body but does not know any martial arts.
