Chapter 22 Fate and Wish

After hearing what Lao Chai said, my dad frowned: "It seems that Xiao Zhang was also deceived by her."

Until now, my dad is still unwilling to doubt Xiao Zhang.

Lao Chai Tou snorted and said, "He wasn't being cheated. Do you still remember the incident of human traffickers in the county a while ago?"

My father didn't say anything, just looked at Lao Chaitou. Lao Chaitou said this to his point, and anyone could guess that the human trafficker's affairs might be related to Xiao Zhang.

Lao Chai Tou took a sip of wine and continued, "Don't you think about it. Xiao Zhang and Old Lady Li have no relatives and no reason. Why do they want to help him? The human trafficker in the county is Xiao Zhang. He and Old Lady Li are originally in the same group. He kidnapped the child from outside and finally sent them to Old Lady Li's house."

My dad lit a cigarette silently but still didn't say anything. My mom couldn't help asking Lao Chaitou: "But why does that old lady want so many children?"

"What she wants is the essence and blood on these children." Old Chaitou looked at me inadvertently when he spoke, and said to my parents: "In theory, I shouldn't have said these things, but since they have something to do with Yangyang, I won't hide them from you. Old Mrs. Li wanted to use the essence and blood of these children to feed the evil spirit she refined. When Xiao Zhang tricked you into this, it was just for the essence and blood on Yangyang."

When Lao Chai was talking, I saw my mother's body tremble suddenly, and my father also widened his eyes, his eyes full of fear.

But before Lao Chaitou finished speaking, he continued, "I have said a long time ago that Yang Yang has a special physique and is prone to provoke evil spirits. But the most terrifying thing in this world is not evil spirits, but the sinister human hearts. As long as the essence and blood on Yang Yang are used properly, it can not only refine evil spirits into evil spirits, but also make living zombies into bars. Do you still remember the flying zombie a few months ago?"

When Lao Chai said this, he did not want to intimidate anyone, but his tone was also filled with deep concern.

My parents became silent, and the air suddenly became particularly solemn.

I didn't know what I was thinking at that time, so I asked in a daze: "Grandpa Chai, are you seeing her daughter at Old Lady Li's house?"

Lao Chaitou said in a depressed voice: "The evil ghost that Mrs. Li refines is her daughter. I don't know how much suffering her daughter experienced before her death. After she turned into a demon, she was still wearing the bloody clothes... Alas, the tiger poison is not enough to eat, and people's hearts are sinister!"

After that, there was a long time of silence. Lao Chaitou drank all the liquor alone and said to my dad drunk: "Patriotic, this time, you may still have to move again. I have found the place, just opposite Beishi Xiao, the family courtyard of the Land Taxation Bureau, which happened to be handled almost the same thing as the grave mountain. I also planned to move over and live next to your house. In this way, there is a way to take care of Yangyang."

My dad looked up at Lao Chaitou silently. My dad was not good at speaking, but everything he thought was written on his face. At that time, my dad's eyes were full of gratitude, but there was also an unspeakable embarrassment.

I know, this time, our family really has no money to move.

Lao Chaitou also understood the situation of our family, waved his hand to my dad, and said, "I know that your factory has not been effective over the years. In addition, Yangyang was sick and hospitalized a few years ago, and his family had no money, right? Don't look at the old man, but I don't lack money... Yangyang dad, don't refuse. At this time, face or something is not important, the important thing is the child."

My dad was silent for a long time, but after a while, he still nodded silently.

Old Chaitou smiled, then reached out to touch my head, and said meaningfully: "Now, I can still protect Yangyang without any mistakes, but it is not a long-term solution after all. When I get old, I am afraid that in the next ten years..."

Halfway through the words, Lao Chai Tou sighed and didn't say anything. My parents looked at Lao Chai Tou with some concern, but after all, no one said anything.

It was late at night, and Lao Chai Tou got up and said goodbye. My father originally wanted to leave Lao Chai Tou at home overnight, but Lao Chai Tou said that there were still some things that had not been dealt with in the grave mountain. He was not there at night, so he might have to make trouble.

Seeing that my father could not keep him, he took me with my mother to send Lao Chai out.

During this period, I always felt that my dad had something to worry about. He wanted to speak several times, but he just opened his mouth and didn't say a word.

Until Lao Chaitou pushed open the door and was about to go out, my dad suddenly shouted: "Uncle Chai!"

My dad really shouted at that time, as if he didn't do this, and the words he kept in his heart could not be said.

Lao Chai turned his head and looked at my dad: "What's wrong?"

My dad pushed me hard behind me, pushed me to Lao Chaitou, and then I heard my dad say, "Call me Master!"

As soon as these words came out, I was stunned, and my mother was also stunned. Lao Chaitou first glanced at my father, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face. I felt that Lao Chaitou wanted to hold it in his mouth and not laugh, but his smile was uncontrollably spreading slowly on his face like a flower.

My dad said what he had been wanting to say tonight, and it seemed that he had been much more relaxed, so he pushed me again: "Call me a master."

Old Chaitou quickly waved his hand to my dad, and said with an uncontrollable smile on his face, "Oh, don't worry, don't worry. Wait until you move, let's talk about it when you move, hehehehe."

As he spoke, Lao Chaitou went out and left like a gust of wind.

At that time, I was still wondering, didn’t Lao Chaitou always want to accept me as his apprentice? Why did his apprentice come to the door and he ran away again? When I think of this, I was worried that Lao Chaitou would not want to accept me anymore. I really wanted to be his apprentice for Lao Chaitou. Maybe he accepted me and I would have the opportunity to see what the outside world looks like.

It was not until soon after that I realized that the matter of accepting disciples was absolutely not tolerated by Lao Chaitou. Even the acceptance of disciples by the Shuzheng lineage was an extremely important event for the entire Soul-Jiezhuang.

Moreover, it is also a very troublesome thing to accept disciples from the main lineage. On the one hand, the ceremony of accepting disciples is very grand, and all the disciples of Jihunzhuang have to participate. On the other hand, it is very secretive. Except for the disciples of Jihunzhuang, outsiders cannot usually know.

It is precisely because of this reason that Lao Chaitou asked us to resettle our new home in the family compound of the Local Taxation Bureau. Last year, the Local Taxation Bureau just built a new family building. Now no one has moved in the old family compound yet. Our family and Lao Chaitou have become the only two households in the family compound. On the day we moved, even the guardian of the family compound did not go to work as usual.

The day of moving is set on Double Ninth Festival, which is also my birthday.

I remember that Double Ninth Festival that year should be around November of the Gregorian calendar. The weather turned colder, and I wore a big red sweater that my mother knitted for me.

My mother said that today is my big day, so I should dress red for auspiciousness.

I was a little puzzled at the time, wasn’t it just moving a house, so why did it become my “big day”?

The Family Court of the Local Taxation Bureau is very close to Beishijiao. It takes only five minutes to walk from the Family Court to the school. However, Liu Shangang's father drove to the school gate to pick me up and Liu Shangang and heard that this was what Lao Chai Tou ordered.

I don’t know when Liu Shangang’s father met Lao Chaitou.

When the car drove into the family yard, I saw many people standing by the road. As soon as we entered the yard, these people pointed at our van.

I vaguely heard a few people of similar age as me saying, "My uncle is in that car."

I didn't react at that time, who was the uncle in their mouths?

The old family yard was full of bungalows with red brick spire roofs. When Liu Shangang's father drove the car to the entrance of the alley, I saw a decent dressed young man standing not far away, waving to us.

When I got out of the car, the young man walked up and pulled my arm towards the alley.

He has a gentle temperament that makes people feel particularly close to. His palms are very hot. I can feel the temperature in the palm of his palms through several layers of clothes. But this heat not only makes people feel hot but not dry, but also gives me a different feeling of peace of mind.

I pulled him into the alley. I wanted to ask who he was, but I didn't speak, not because I was shy, but because I felt that as soon as I opened my mouth, it would disrupt his peaceful breath.

Unexpectedly, he took the initiative to speak: "My name is Zhuang Youxue. From now on, you can call me Senior Brother, or Senior Brother Zhuang."

His voice was low, but it had a kind of intimacy and gentleness that made people feel unpretentious.

I nodded and asked him, "Are you also Grandpa Chai's apprentice?"

Senior Brother Zhuang turned around and smiled at me: "The Chief Chai is my uncle. Haha, you can't call me "Grandpa Chai, Grandpa Chai" anymore. After today, you will be the disciple of the Shuzheng lineage, and the Chief Chai will be your master in the future."

What? Lao Chaitou is the head of the sect?

When I heard what Senior Brother Zhuang said, my first reaction was surprise. At that time, my understanding of the word "head" was limited to martial arts dramas on TV. Although I didn't know what role the head would play in a sect, I should be a very powerful and powerful person anyway.

It was not until later that I realized that on the day I entered the master, there were only three people in Shouzheng's lineage, including Master and me.

Senior Brother Zhuang took me into a yard not far from the entrance of the alley. Many people gathered in the yard. When they saw Senior Brother Zhuang, they would respectfully call "Senior Brother", but these people seemed to be about the same age as my father.

When I entered the room, there were also many people in the living room, but the people outside were standing, while the people inside were all sitting on the Grand Master's chair. After Brother Zhuang entered the room, he had to bow to them one by one. I followed Brother Zhuang in a daze and found that everyone in the room was looking at me with a very pleasant look, as if my arrival was a very happy thing for them.
