[024] the truth
Zhong Kui said something big was going to happen. What could be bigger than a dead person? His words frightened Zhi Qing.
"What big thing will happen? Will Jiang Sen and the others be saved?" Zhiqing asked in anticipation.
A crisp reply: "It's hard to say!" Zhong Kui's worried eyes flickered away from Zhi Qingdao.
Zhiqing was silent, his old eyebrows furrowed together. A light brown longevity spot on his face was very dazzling on his fair skin. With his gray temples, he no longer had the ability to help anyone. However, his brain was still flexible and he could not help anyone.
His inspirational quotes that have settled in his mind have not been erased by the passing of time: 'When a person lives, he must be upright and upright. He cannot be servile or humble. I don't want to enslave others, nor do I allow others to enslave myself.'
"What's not easy to say? How can we solve the root of the problem if we don't say it?"
"What do you think of Jiang Yuhang's character?" Zhong Kui asked suddenly.
Zhiqing frowned, as if thinking - and then raised his head decisively and said: "I'll tell you the truth, in fact, I am the real candidate to survey the ancient tomb. The night before the candidate to survey the ancient tomb was scheduled, Jiang Yuhang came to see me.
"
"He wants you to switch?"
Zhiqing nodded and said: "Yes." While the two were talking, there was movement outside the door, and then a stalwart figure appeared at the door——
Zhong Kui stopped talking and looked at the person who came in - it was Chen Jun whom he hadn't seen for a long time!
When Chen Jun came back, he was overjoyed to see Zhong Kui and said, "Uncle Zhong, are you here?"
The latter pondered for a moment and nodded, "Here you go, you've been very busy lately?"
Chen Jun smiled at Zhong Kui, nodded, and looked at his father: "You didn't play chess for fun?" He remembered that what his father talked about the most on weekdays was Uncle Zhong Kui's chess skills. He also said that when he comes that day,
, I need to give him a good fight.
"Stop talking nonsense, tell us what you have been busy with recently?" Zhiqing was worried that his son would inadvertently say something he said when he was bored, so he hurriedly changed the subject.
Chen Jun hung the big cap on the clothes rack and replied: "I won't tell you this. They are all unexpected events."
"Afraid that we will leak the secret? You are so capable, but you are actually guarding against us?" Zhiqing said angrily.
Chen Jun smiled happily and said, "Dad, don't talk nonsense. You and Uncle Zhong Kui have a good talk. I'm going to catch up on my sleep. I have to stay on duty tonight." He said, smiled apologetically again, and left the living room.
Zhiqing rubbed his eyebrows, looked at Zhong Kui and joked: "Are you silent and playing deep? Or should you use softness to overcome strength?"
Zhong Kui's quietness and silence are not all about using softness to overcome strength, but more like a spiritual state like "a mind without distraction is like a bright mirror, where there are no ripples in the absence of wind".
"Don't mention it, I am silent because I don't want to disturb the cordial communication between you and your son. Brother, please don't think of me as so awesome!"
Zhiqing continued to tease: "You don't miss her?" He meant Ran Qin.
Zhong Kui smiled calmly and said: "What brother is referring to is physiological needs? Or is it emotional thinking?"
"I'll go, you kid - hahaha!" Zhiqing burst into hearty laughter because of Zhong Kui's cold humor and said: "Okay, I'm asking sincerely, why are you so hard-hearted and don't go and take a look?
Rongrong?"
"I want to go see it, but I don't know if it will be too abrupt. Having said that, I have to admit honestly that I miss them both." Zhong Kui said frankly: "Brother, just tell me honestly,
How are the two of them doing?"
"Well! Ran Qin is a qualified mother and a woman you deserve. Under her love and care, Rongrong has become more beautiful and sensible - but she doesn't seem to know her own life experience. She has been in that kind of place.
I think Jiang Shuai is my biological father. If I want to change the objective reasons for her to accept you, I may have to wait for a long time."
Zhong Kui smiled bitterly, pretending that nothing was wrong. He crossed his legs, put them down again, and repeated this action - "Old brother, let's get down to business! As for those things under the melons and plums, we'd better not pay attention to them. You can give them to me first."
Let’s talk about Jiang Yuhang’s character.”
Zhiqing knew the pain in Zhong Kui's heart, and the less he wanted to mention it, the more he cared about it. He also had the idea to persuade Ran Qin to let her reveal the secret entangled in Zhong Kui's heart, so that their father and daughter could get together as soon as possible.
Admit it. But the matter at hand is far more serious than this private matter. It can be said to be extremely urgent! If there is even the slightest mistake, several lives will be at risk!
Jiang Yuhang's conduct in life is not very good! In Zhiqing's memory, he is a selfish person who puts interests above all else. Ancient tombs have always been full of magical and legendary colors in people's sight and discussion, and there are also a lot of unknown things.
Treasures were unearthed in ancient tombs.
It is based on this conflict of interest and fame that Jiang Yuhang secretly found Zhiqing the night before he was scheduled to survey the ancient tomb candidates. At first, there were all kinds of implicit teasing, then polite greetings, and then he officially entered the main topic.
.
Zhiqing stared at Jiang Yuhang, whose eyelids were slightly red due to drunkenness. The hand holding the wine glass shook slightly, and he said incoherently: "Little brother - try your best - to survey those - the mess left by the birdmen." Pause.
For a moment, he looked at Zhiqing in a drunken state and continued: "It's not like you, brother, are going to survey the gate of wealth and the ancient tomb!"
How could Zhiqing not know that this guy was not interested in drinking? He smiled calmly and said, "What's this? It's just an ancient tomb. What's there to be proud of?"
Jiang Yuhang raised his finger and put it on his lips, pretending to be mysterious and said: "Shh! Brother, please don't act reckless in front of me. Hiccup - the wealth in ancient tombs does not come from nothing. You go this time,
It can be said that you have gained both fame and fortune. In the future, you will have to promote me more, so that I can also enjoy your glory."
"I'm going! Yuhang, please stop drinking. Look at what you said? The ancient tombs are national property, not something you or I can claim as our own. All that fame and fortune is a daydream, not our own.
Greed, or—" Zhiqing didn't say the rest of the words. He didn't want to say it, and he had his own reasons.
Jiang Yuhang did not give up because of the implicit response. He insisted on asking the waiter to bring another bottle of wine and wanted to continue drinking!
Zhiqing wanted to go home in a hurry, but this guy kept pestering him. He tried to drag him to drink, but there was no way he could do it. He had to cope with it and took a sip. But what he didn't expect was that this sip of wine changed him.
fate.
The night was hazy, and the neon lights became ethereal and uncertain in Zhiqing's eyes. The lights were shining, far or near! After a sip of wine, he actually got drunk.
Jiang Yuhang suddenly said: "Brother, let's make an exchange. I will survey the ancient tombs. How about you surveying the uninhabited island?"
Zhiqing tried hard to wake himself up, but he couldn't control his heavy eyelids and disordered thinking. He didn't understand a word of what the other party was saying. He could only nod vaguely and said, "Okay, what do you say?"
