Chapter 9: Father and Daughter (II)

It's not long since then! Hearing this, my heart suddenly tightened, and then my heart was filled with an indescribable sadness and sadness, in fact, when it comes to relationships, Master Liu and I are not very close, and we haven't met many times in total.

But what is my grief at this time? Is another person related to me and Master going? Or unconsciously, I also have a certain affection for Master Liu?

I don't want to think about this, I just admit that I feel uncomfortable, there is a sentence I don't know whether to say or not, his daughter has a life limit, only two years, in fact, Master Liu doesn't have to do anything in two years, although he once told me that he would take his daughter to 'go' with him.

Thinking of this, I became more and more silent, and I had no way to say my reluctance and doubts, let alone say yes, because I was facing life and death.

As if anticipating my attitude, Master Liu didn't care about my silence at the moment, but said: "My body is also considered to be exhausted, and if I don't go with my daughter, I will definitely not live for a few days, so I might as well go together, there is a companion on Huangquan Road." Chengyi, it won't take long, if it weren't for you to restore Guan Laidi's soul, I wouldn't be at ease. ”

"Master Liu, it is my business to promise you to return Guan Laidi's soul, even if it is delayed for the day of departure. Besides, we had already decided to set off in late spring and early summer, and it was a good time. I tried to be as calm as I could.

"Well, yes, when the time comes, I want you to come to me a month in advance, I still have" Master Liu's expression was solemn, obviously this is also very important, I am also listening carefully, why a month in advance.

But I didn't want to be at this time, a sharp voice came from downstairs, interrupting our conversation: "Old thing, you said you didn't mean it, don't tell me again, this matter has nothing to do with you, old thing, what kind of psychology are you?" Are you relying on your mother in this life, it sounds good, it sounds good, it is called a distressed daughter, it is not good, do you have a fetish for women?! You really are."

As soon as I heard this voice, I knew that it was Guan Laidi, no, Liu Zhenmeng's voice, how hard to hear this scolding, I don't want to describe it, I saw Master Liu's eyes showing a trace of timidity, and a wry smile was piled up on his face, and he didn't dare to say more when he was silent, but he was not angry.

I've long passed the age of blood, and if it weren't necessary, I could already ignore the general events, but at this moment, I don't know why, the anger rising in my chest can't be suppressed, female fetish? Is this what a daughter should say to her father? What is the words of a father who is willing to bear the karma of ten lifetimes for the sake of your two-year life?

Therefore, I didn't look at Master Liu's expression, I took a few big steps out of the room, stood in the corridor, and shouted in a low voice to Liu Zhenmeng, who was still shouting downstairs: "Apologize to your father!" ”

"I relied on" Liu Zhen didn't want to dream of rejecting me, but later reacted that something was wrong, so she was stunned for a moment, stopped, and found that I was standing upstairs looking at her.

"Hehehe" she looked at me and put on a smiling face, but I was a little awkward, the original Guan Laidi was delicate and simple, and now she has changed into clothes that should be very expensive to wrap her body and put on makeup, but how do I look at it and how it is not pleasing to the eye before, maybe I don't know how to appreciate it.

Liu Zhenmeng laughed a few times, and then said to me: "I know you, I know you, I can do well now, and I have to thank you!" How do you have time to come here? You see, I haven't said thank you properly, there is nothing in this house, why don't I invite you out to dinner, it can be regarded as a thank you. ”

I was a little stunned, did I know her well? As soon as you open your mouth, invite me out to dinner! And then leave Master Liu at home?

"He's my little friend, if it's not fooling around with you, those men, he won't go out to eat with you." I turned around abruptly and found that Master Liu was already standing behind me without knowing when, and under his hoarse and ugly voice, there was a tiredness that could not be concealed.

Liu Zhenmeng's face suddenly became ugly, and he opened his mouth and scolded: "Old thing, who do you say is messing around?" What kind of foolish man? You're going to make it clear to me? You old don't."

"You'd better stop talking about it, I'll tell you a secret, okay?" I can guess what she was going to say next, my face was extremely pale, and then I couldn't help but interrupt Liu Zhenmeng.

Master Liu grabbed my arm a little weakly next to me, and I decided not to pay attention to it, could it be that the remaining half a year would let him live like this? He didn't say anything, but I can guess about it.

In the face of me saying this, Liu Zhenmeng did not get angry, but put on a smiling face, as if looking forward to my secret, and was about to go upstairs like that, but I said: "You don't need to come up, just stand there and listen, it's not that you can't hear it." ”

"Then you say." Liu Zhenmeng's face changed, as if I didn't allow her to go upstairs to get closer, which hurt her self-esteem, but unfortunately I didn't care about the self-esteem of this girl I once sympathized with, and the unfilial person is what I hate the most.

"I have a deep friendship with your father, and I feel uncomfortable to see him have such a sad life. Originally, I had a secret, I always felt ashamed, and I refused to say it, but it doesn't hurt to tell you now, that is, I can fight, and I can't help but care that he is a man and a woman, I will do it, do you think this is a secret? "I said to Liu Zhenmeng very seriously.

"What do you mean?" A trace of jealousy appeared in Liu Zhenmeng's eyes, but Master Liu was there, as if she had given her enough confidence, and she opened her mouth to question me.

"It's not interesting, it's just a secret! I don't want to come next time and see your dad sitting at home, no one to take care of him, and he can't even have a cup of tea. "My voice became a little harsh.

Master Liu sighed beside me, and finally called me in a reproachful tone: "Chengyi." ”

I kept silent, but it doesn't mean that I feel comfortable in this way, Liu Zhenmeng looked at Master Liu's attitude this time and didn't want to protect her, and I didn't know what I was thinking, I was silent for a while, and suddenly snorted, grabbed her handbag and rushed out of the house.

"I've made you see the joke." Master Liu leaned on the railing and said tiredly.

I didn't answer, but was silent for a while, and said to Master Liu, "You haven't eaten, have you?" I'm going to buy some food, I'm going to buy some wine, let's have a drink, and I'll talk to you. ”

"Okay, good" Master Liu hurriedly agreed, at this moment, where is he still like the mountain character who is full of mystery, feared and respected by everyone in the Tianjin circle? He was just like an ordinary, lonely old man.

―――――――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――――――――

"I didn't expect it, why did Xiao Nan become like this, Chengyi, I'm bitter in my heart." In Master Liu's study, there were many dishes in front of us, and most of them were eaten by Master Liu.

One afternoon, we were all chatting about the world and talking about some interesting things in the circle of cultivators, but I didn't expect that when the sun was setting, or if there was enough wine, maybe the bitterness in my heart could no longer be stopped, Master Liu actually said such a sentence to me.

I didn't speak, I opened another bottle of Erguotou, looked at Master Liu, and Master Liu said in a loud voice: "Pour it, pour it for me, it's rare to get drunk a few times in life, I'm afraid this is the last time I'm drunk." ”

I poured the wine for Master Liu as I said, and in the process of pouring the wine, I whispered to Master Liu: "What do you mean to be drunk for the last time, after a few days, didn't you call me over?" I drink with you every day. ”

"Hehe, you can't drink it, for that month, I'm going to preach to you, how can I drink?" Master Liu squinted his drunken eyes and said to me.

Master Liu wants to pass on his Taoism to me? I was stunned for a moment, then shook my head gently, and said to Master Liu: "Master Liu, I'm afraid I can't learn that from you, I can't chew too much, and I don't have the talent for this." ”

Master Liu became angry all of a sudden, patted the table and said, "Do you look down on me or what?" Are you just watching my craft break the inheritance? Do I still have the face to go to my ancestors? ”

"No, not really!" I said to Master Liu seriously, then thought about it for a while, and said to Master Liu: "If you don't dislike it, I can recommend someone to you, this kid will definitely have a genius in making weapons, because he was a formation master before, and he is a formation master of the younger generation." ”

"Huh? This weapon formation is indeed very important, after all, many things have to work, and the main thing is to engrave the formation. I can trust the character of the person you introduced, just like you and your master, I can trust the character, so bring it to me to see it when the time comes. Master Liu took a sip of wine and agreed very straightforwardly.

I can understand his straightforwardness, at this time, there is not much left in life, this piece of Taoism can be passed on, it is already lucky, not to mention that it is still a talented, reliable young descendant to inherit this Taoism? Master Liu has no reason to refuse.

As if he had said this, he also let go of Master Liu's big concerns, he happily drank another big sip of wine, and said to me: "Chengyi, don't blame Zhenmeng, in fact, I can't hate her after all, it's all my fault, no matter how good a child is, lying in bed for so long, I have to bear the pain of my body, and watching myself 'rot', my psychology will be distorted." It's me, blame me, why should I be angry with her? ”

I don't speak, I just drink with Master Liu, if he thinks like this, he can feel better, then let him think like this, which pair of parents is not like this, even if their children are wrong, in the dead of night, won't they find reasons for their children?

Father's love, mother's love, that's the most resilient love, it won't die until death, since that's the case, why not find a reason to make yourself better?

There are some things, some love, you can't talk about principles, even if the person who carries your love is spurned by the whole world, you can't help but love him (her).
