Chapter Nine The Son without a Father

"It seems that this child wants to find his father... The live-action version of "Mimi Wandering"..." Leaving Hanjiangdao Middle School, Zhang Guoyi drove Zhang Yicheng straight to Zhu Huanyu's house, "Old man, I think that Uncle Ou must have an affair with Zhu Huanyu's mother, otherwise how could the child find his father to find his house?"

"You unlucky child, just tell me about this, but don't talk nonsense outside..." To be honest, even Zhang Guoyi was a little hesitant at this moment. To be honest, in Zhang Guoyi's impression, Ou Jinyang is a very traditional person, an absolute model husband, and he doesn't look like a person who makes a mess of shoes anyway. "It's weird, I've known him for more than 30 years, and I really haven't seen this kid as a good person... By the way, Yicheng, if you are sure that Zhu Huanyu just wants to find a father, and Ou Jinyang is indeed his father, what should I do?"

"It would be easier to do that..." Zhang Yicheng said, "I asked Uncle Ou to come to Zhu Huanyu's grave to put three incense sticks, put some tributes, and call my son a few times. It's basically done... In theory..."

"Then I'll just let him go directly... Don't say a few times, call me grandpa, it's okay..." Zhang Guoyi smiled, "Damn you, boy, didn't say it earlier. Ten sons have recognized you when you have the time to get you poor..."

"Hey... I said, "Old man, why are you stubborn?" Zhang Yicheng was stunned. "Do you know, what will happen if Uncle Ou is not his real father?"

"What? Could it be that the demons can still be eaten?" Zhang Guoyi was stunned.

"Absolutely..." Zhang Yicheng nodded, "And there is another point that Zhu Huanyu's wish to find his father may not be his greatest wish. Just based on that untuning essay, it is absolutely not enough to make a conclusion. At least the essays I have written before are basically nonsense and none of them are true... If his last wish is not recognized by his father, then it will be useless to go..."

The community of Zhu Huanyu's family is similar to the community where Ou Jinyang lives, and it is also a high-end apartment. According to the address provided by Teacher Yang, the two of them quickly found Zhu Huanyu's family.

"Who are you looking for?" Shortly after ringing the doorbell, the room quickly responded. It sounded like a woman, and the accent seemed to be from the south.

"I am from the Education Bureau... I want to know something about Zhu Huanyu!" Zhang Guoyi took out his work permit and handed it to "Maoyan". After a while, a sound of hanging a door chain came from the room, and a small crack was opened in the security door.

"We are looking for Comrade Zhu Yufen. I am from the Education Bureau to learn about her son's situation..." Zhang Guoyi simply stuffed his work permit into the crack of the door.

"I'm...!" A pale face as hanged as a hanged ghost was faintly revealed in the crack of the door. "My son is dead, what do you want to know?"

"I... this... oh..." Zhang Guoyi whined for a long time, but didn't know how to continue. Since he had handed over the work permit from the Education Bureau, he couldn't say that your son's ghost was harming others, right?

"What are you doing?" It seems that Zhu Yufen is quite vigilant.

"Auntie... It's like this. Your son is in trouble..." Zhang Yicheng smiled, "We know your son is gone, so we come to find you!"

"Is it a disaster?" Zhu Yufen seemed a little hesitant, "How much does it have to be paid?"

"It's not a matter of money..." Zhang Yicheng said, "We want to know some things from you..."

"Then let's talk about it here..." Zhu Yufen refused to open the door.

"This matter is a long story..." Zhang Yicheng put on a sincere expression, "We want to know from you whether your son had any particularly big wishes during his lifetime?"

"No, what's wrong?" Zhu Yufen rolled her eyes and kept looking at Zhang Yicheng.

"Then..." Zhang Yicheng frowned, "Can you show us your son's relics? For example...a diary or something?"

"What do you think of that?" Zhu Yufen frowned, "What the hell are you doing?"

"Actually, your son... died with his eyes closed!" Zhang Yicheng said word by word.

"What does this have to do with you?" Zhu Yufen still looked alert.

"You may not believe it..." Zhang Yicheng paused, "I have a friend who went to Jingshui Pavilion Cemetery to visit the tomb on Qingming Festival. After returning, he became mentally ill. The hospital did not have any problems. Later, he invited a gentleman to come to see him. The gentleman also followed us to the cemetery and said that your son was on my friend... The gentleman said, if your son has fulfilled his wish, as long as he fulfilled his wish, everyone would be happy... I said that, can you understand?"

"Mysterious..." With a clang, Zhu Yufen closed the security door tightly.

"Oh...my work permit!" Zhang Guoyi hurriedly rang the doorbell again, "Comrade, return the work permit to me!"

"If you don't leave, I will call the police!" Zhu Yufen opened the security door again, threw Zhang Guoyi's work permit to the ground and wanted to close the door again. Zhang Yicheng quickly stretched out his foot and stuck the crack in the door, "Aunt Zhu, you can't believe it. If you don't help, then we can only go back and tell the gentleman that he will break up your son's ghost!"

"Take your legs apart!" Zhu Yufen's face was twisted and stared at Zhang Yicheng and kept breathing heavily.

"Aunt Zhu, we have absolutely no malice! My friend would only say one thing when he was sick, 'Why haven't you come yet', this is the only clue! If you know what's going on, you must tell us that this is also for your son to rest in peace in the nine springs!" Zhang Yicheng slowly withdrew his feet, "Aunt Zhu, please think about it again!"

"Crazy!" Zhu Yufen seemed to hesitate for a moment, then closed the door with a clang.

"Okay..." Zhang Guoyi grunted, "Let's go... are you really waiting for her to call the police?"

"Old man..." Zhang Yicheng was helpless, "I think now that Uncle Ou must be innocent..." Pressing the elevator button, Zhang Yicheng looked back and looked at if there was anyone, and then lowered his voice, "That woman looks like a hanged ghost. I think Uncle Ou will not fall in love with her even if she dies..."

"Well... I don't think he is so useless. If I want me to marry such a shrew, I would rather hang myself." Zhang Guoyi also kept nodding, "By the way, Yicheng, it seems that there is no chance here now. What are you going to do next?"

"It's hard..." Zhang Yicheng shrugged, "I can only try my best to accept it... But maybe I have to wait for a while. Didn't you say that Uncle Ou still has several houses in the city? Let him move for the time being..."

"No..." Zhang Guoyi waved his hand quickly, "I said, "You saw it too, my eldest nephew, I have also patted my chest with me. Now you let me move, where do you want your old man to put his face?"

"I didn't say he would move for the rest of his life..." Zhang Yicheng glanced at him, "My uncle, tell you, don't play tricks on this kind of thing. This thing is called "childishness". According to the records in the book, if it is handled well, it will be easy to repair. If the method is wrong, it will be a life-threatening person on Liu Mengmeng back then. The key point now is that I don't know what method to use to deal with it to be appropriate! This thing is too unpopular. I searched for seven or eight books before I found a little record. My father has too many books. If I want to find one by one, it will take half a month even if I don't go to class and search at home all day!"

"I'll let him move first..." Zhang Guoyi curled his lips. It seemed that Zhang Guoyi was more afraid of being scolded by Zhang Guozhong than embarrassing.

The uncle and nephew got on the elevator while chatting. As soon as they left the unit door, they heard someone shouting upstairs, "You two! The one from the Education Bureau! Come back!"

"Hmm?" Zhang Guoyi was stunned, feeling that he was calling him. When he looked up, he saw a head stretching out from a balcony window upstairs, and his hair was almost the same as half of the mop was poked out.

"Come back! Come back quickly!" Zhu Yufen was the one who looked at him, and waved his hand while shouting. Seeing that Zhu Yufen seemed to have changed his mind, the uncle and nephew simply turned back and returned to Zhu Yufen's door.

"Young man... you just said... what does it mean to break up my son's ghost?" Zhu Yufen still refused to open the door and continued to ask with the door chain hanging.

"What else can it mean?" Zhang Yicheng simply took a shot, "In this way, ShuoTar Zhusi Chushi?p

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yufen was silent for a moment, and finally opened the security door, "Come in..." In just three or four minutes, Zhu Yufen's attitude actually made a 180-degree turn. The uncle and nephew shrugged each other - no wonder that Zhu Huanyu could write such an essay...

After entering the house, Zhang Yicheng really regretted buying a gas mask beforehand and brought it in. He felt that the chaos in the house was similar to that of a pig's nest, but even the smell was comparable to that of a pig's nest. It was obvious that something was rotten. It was quite difficult to live in such a high-end apartment into a biogas pool. But then again, the son just died and it was understandable that he had no intention of cleaning.

"Look for a place to sit by yourself..." With just two clangs, Zhu Yufen threw two pairs of slippers in front of Zhang Yicheng, "The house is a bit messy, don't mind."

"It's okay...it's okay..." Zhang Guoyi was helpless. The floor in the room was dirtyer than the soles of his shoes. Zhu Yufen also had the nerve to ask others to change his shoes...

"Not long ago, I always had nightmares..." Zhu Yufen lit a cigarette, then threw the cigarette box to Zhang Guoyi, "I dreamed that Huanyu was kneeling in front of me naked, hugging my thighs and crying!"

"You are so sorry!" Zhang Guoyi took the cigarette and saw that it was of good quality and soft China. Unfortunately, it was almost rubbed. The cigarette rolls were all bent, and they were almost like a glutinous rice noodles in their mouth.

"What I said to me is that..." Zhu Yufen took a sip of cigarettes, looked up at Zhang Yicheng, "Why haven't you come yet?"

"What do you say?" Zhang Yicheng was also quite curious at this time.

"I'm dreaming!" Zhu Yufen said, "I just cried and told him that it was coming soon, and it was coming soon, but after waking up, I didn't know what it was referring to... At first I didn't care, but later I always had this dream, the same dream, and it felt a little strange... By the way, you said you found a gentleman, why didn't you let him come directly? I want to see him!"

"Tell me the truth to you...that gentleman...it's me!" Zhang Yicheng smiled, "I was afraid that you wouldn't believe it just now, so I told a lie."

"You..." Zhu Yufen looked puzzled.

"My father and uncle are both from the Maoshan School of Taoism, but now they are going to Yunnan, so I am solving this problem myself..." Zhang Yicheng said, "I hope you can believe me that some things in the world really exist! And they are different from what is staged on TV!"

"So, you are going to break up my son's ghost!" After hearing what Zhang Yicheng said, Zhu Yufen's face immediately felt hostility.

"Aunt Zhu, if I really wanted to do that, I wouldn't come to you now..." Zhang Yicheng was helpless, thinking that this woman was like a time bomb. "That's just a bad idea, but if you can find clues with us, things will be easy to solve. Your son can be reincarnated smoothly, and my friend's illness will be cured. Everyone is happy! So we hope you can provide your child's relics, preferably something like diary. We want to know what he said, "Why don't you come yet," refers to, whether it is a person, a matter, or something else...!"

"Reincarnation?" Zhu Yufen seemed to have not heard the following words at all, "What does reincarnation mean?"

"Aunt Zhu, don't you understand reincarnation?" Zhang Yicheng frowned, "Reincarnation, reincarnation! Become a child and be born again!"

"Oh..." Zhu Yufen seemed to understand a little, "Then why didn't he reincarnate?"

"If you help us figure this out, he will be reincarnated..." Zhang Yicheng was almost crazy, "Show me his diary..."

"He is reincarnated... can he still be my son?" Zhu Yufen seemed to have no concerns about the diary at all.

"It's possible, but you have to..." Zhang Yicheng wanted to say it, but then he thought it was wrong. This kind of topic should not be explained by someone of his age.

"If you want your son to be reborn, you have to have a baby first..." Zhang Guoyi was sensible and took over the words, "You shouldn't ask questions, your husband..."

When he heard the word "husband", Zhu Yufen's face suddenly sank, and he snorted coldly with a cigarette in his mouth, "Then I don't need him to be reincarnated! You guys go!"

"Oh... we don't need it!" Zhang Yicheng was so desperate, "Aunt Zhu, is it that difficult to show me your son's diary?"

"He doesn't write a diary!" Zhu Yufen was finally willing to respond positively to the topic of the diary. "Huanyu usually hates writing the most, how can he write a diary?" Zhu Yufen said as she entered the house and took out a large suitcase from the inner room. "He's all his things here, you can find them!"

When Zhang Yicheng opened the suitcase, he was stunned again. He couldn't tell that Zhu Huanyu was hidden. He turned out to be a star chaser. He saw that the things in this box were basically all star magazines, stickers, photo albums, etc. In addition, there were some pirated comic books, and there were no handwritten things at all. The only handwriting was the villain drawn in the textbook and the spoof graffiti of the characters illustrated in the textbook.

"Aunt Zhu, to be honest, I have read the composition written by your child..." After closing a textbook full of villains, Zhang Yicheng suddenly remembered Zhu Huanyu's composition, "He seems to want to find his father... Can you..."

"Stop talking!" Zhu Yufen suddenly screamed, frightening Zhang Yicheng, "He doesn't have a father!"

"Aunt Zhu, now is not the time to get angry... This is very important!" Zhang Yicheng frowned.

"He... really doesn't have a father..." Zhu Yufen lowered her head, and her tone suddenly eased a lot, "It's true..."

"You mean, you adopted this child?" Zhang Yicheng looked up at Zhu Yufen. It didn't seem like he was lying. Could it be that Zhu Huanyu really picked it up?

"He can't give birth..." Zhu Yufen pointed his second eye and simply sat on the ground, "This child is not his..."

"Who? Who can't give birth?" Zhang Yicheng was stunned.

"My husband..." Zhu Yufen smiled coldly...
