Lao He obviously shuddered, and his eyes became a little sneaky when he looked at me.
I forced a breath and said in a deep voice: "Uncle He, for so long, have I rarely asked you questions?" โ
Lao He nodded.
I said, "I don't ask because I just want to live a peaceful life." But now, I think, there are some things that you shouldn't hide from me anymore. โ
Lao He shook his head, and before he could speak, I raised my voice sharply, almost roaring: "Enough! Stop talking to me about the nonsense that the time has not yet come! All I know is that I'm getting farther and farther away from what I want to be, and with every step I take, the deeper I go! I need to know everything now! โ
As he spoke, he stood up suddenly, and Lao He and Jinghai both took a few steps back in shock.
I shouted in the direction of the stairs, "Hit the shift!" You come down too! โ
"Boom!"
Suddenly there was a thunderclap outside, followed by rain.
Soon, with a burst of footsteps, Xu Ronghua walked down from the upper floor.
Looking at the three people in front of me, I took a few deep breaths, took a long shirt, sat back in the chair, and forcibly suppressed my excitement and said, "It's time to make some things clear, otherwise, I really don't know what I will do." โ
I'm telling the truth, maybe it's Yinsi's tyranny that hooked up my hidden impulse, and more importantly, Sang Lan's choice has touched me beyond words.
After so many years of ups and downs, I have the confidence to handle many things, including my own feelings.
But the reality is that everything I am experiencing now is not something I should bear, but it seems that someone designed a trap from the beginning, which made me fall deeper and deeper and unable to extricate myself.
Although Sang Lan is a little willful, she is just an ordinary female college student, and she has come to the point where she is today, and she is even more implicated by me!
My gaze swept over Jinghai and Lao He, and finally met Xu Ronghua's eyes, and his voice was unconsciously a little astringent:
"I'm different from other children, I don't have parents, my grandfather has taught me since I was a child, a manly man, there is no hurdle that can't be passed, I can't solve it, I gritted my teeth and endured it! What can be solved, never escape!
I haven't run away from it, and I don't go into many questions because I think it's just a passing accident. As long as I work hard, I will eventually get back on track and I will still live the life I want! โ
"Now, it's not like that, you know, right?" I shook my head slightly towards Xu Ronghua.
Xu Ronghua raised his face and took a deep breath, and nodded: "You ask, as long as I know, I will tell you." โ
Turning his gaze to Lao He, although Lao He was still entangled, he also sighed, "There are some things that should be made clear to you." โ
Turning his gaze to Jinghai, the old monk picked his eyelids and spread his hands and said, "You don't have to look at me, I'm an outsider." However, if you have any doubts, I will try to tell you. After all, I'm relying on you now. โ
Seeing the three of them express their attitudes, I was a little dazed. For a long time, there were so many questions piled up that I forgot where to start for a while.
Xu Ronghua walked to the side and sat down, looked at me and said slowly, "You must be very curious to know the origin of the Yinyang Station." โ
Seeing me nodding, he also nodded and said, "Actually, I know a limited amount about this station. I don't know how long this post has existed, I only know that this post station has changed from its establishment to the present, and I don't know how many bosses have changed in the middle. โ
I couldn't help frowning, what is the answer, saying it is equivalent to not saying it.
Without waiting for me to speak, Xu Ronghua waved his hand: "You listen to me first." The owners of this inn, I know three, no, to be precise, two bosses, and the other one has not been here for long, has not been registered, and is not official. โ
I lit a cigarette and asked him to continue.
"One of them, and the newest boss, is you." Xu Ronghua looked at me and said, "There is another one, my father, who is also the last official boss of the post station." โ
"Oh, it's really a child without a mother, it's a long story." Jing Hai stretched his waist, walked to the bench and sat down, posing as if listening to the story.
Lao He also followed with his head tilted.
Xu Ronghua raised his finger and pointed upward, "I haven't been to the attic on the fourth floor, but I know that you have been." In addition to the clothes you are wearing now, and the yin-yang mirror in the account room, there should be a spirit card in the attic. That spirit card is dedicated to the boss here. Before, it was your grandfather, and now, it's you. โ
"Why me?" I couldn't help but say, "Just because my surname is Xu?" What did you give me? Why are you imposing your business on me? โ
"It's not imposed on you!" Lao He said suddenly.
He glanced at Xu Ronghua, turned to me and said, "This kind of thing will not be without a reason, you listen to him first and finish what he knows, and then I will tell you something else." โ
I gritted my teeth and nodded at Xu Ronghua, "Say." โ
"Don't worry, kid......"
Xu Ronghua didn't seem to know how to speak for a while, rubbed his eyebrows, and said to me, "I want to smoke a cigarette." โ
I picked up the cigarette case abruptly, but he said, "Yin and yang are different, you just light the cigarette and put it aside." โ
I lit a cigarette and stacked it on the edge of the counter, and he immediately had an extra cigarette in his hand.
Xu Ronghua stared at the cigarette in his hand for a while, brought it to his mouth and took a shallow puff, closed his eyes, as if he had been savoring for a while, before he opened his eyes again, but his vision was a little sloppy.
After a while, he raised his eyes and looked at me: "I said that I only know the three bosses of the Yinyang Station, and I have already said two of them." And one more ...... There is also a very short time here and cannot be considered a formal owner...... That's me. โ
"This has to start when I got married."
Xu Ronghua leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes again, as if he had fallen into a deep memory......
Because my mother died early, my father was away from home all the year round, and there was no one to take care of me, so I was more introverted.
After graduating from university, I worked as an accountant in a state-owned company, and although I was like a stuffy gourd all day long, everyone had their own fate. By chance, I met a girl.
People are subject to change, and if they are immutable, they can only be said to have not encountered the reasons for change.
Because of work, after meeting the girl named Dong Yaru, I seem to have completely changed as a person, become active, and become 'clever tongue', in short, in order to be with the person I like, I did everything a man can do.
Finally, the girl agreed to marry me.
But on that day, my father, who had not seen the end of the dragon, returned.
I was so excited that I told him the good news.
But I didn't expect that his words completely disrupted my life......
