PS: The third update is here, I hope you all like it.

After hearing Lin Jinhong's explanation, Helian Mingtu smiled helplessly and stopped insisting on making tea. He sat down on another Taishi chair and was about to speak, but he didn't want to look at his granddaughter Helian Langgan who was standing there. An Tian next to Lin Jinhong said: "Sir, could you please go out for a while and guard the door?" She said very calmly, but An Tian couldn't think of any objection. He just took two steps and realized No, he hurriedly turned to look at Lin Jinhong. When he saw him nodding, An Cai glared at Helian Langgan and walked out angrily. However, Helian Langgan curled his lips indifferently and muttered: "I'm doing this for your own good." "The secrets of the Helian family are not for anyone to hear casually." Lin Jinhong was slightly surprised when he saw this scene, and Helian Langgan really surprised him.

Helian Mingtu panted slightly, as if he was very tired. Helian Langgan hurriedly ran to his side and said faintly: "Grandpa, is it possible that a dilapidated Helian family with only two people left is more important than your life and death? Well, if it were me, I would rather let this dilapidated family continue to decline, even if it just disappears in the long river of history without making any noise..."

Helian Langgan's more rebellious words were interrupted by a crisp slap. Four clear fingerprints appeared on her soft and flawless face. Helian Langgan looked at her grandfather with her eyes as usual, as if just now It was as if the slap didn't hit her face at all. She definitely didn't behave like an eleven or twelve-year-old girl. She looked like a battle-hardened general, so calm that it was terrifying.

Lin Jinhong on the side was full of confusion. The conversation between his grandfather and granddaughter made him confused. At the same time, he had a deeper understanding of Helian Langgan. This girl was really like a mountain without changing. Although she She was slapped by her grandfather, but he had no intention of intervening. It is difficult for an upright official to interrupt household affairs.

After Helian Mingtu slapped his granddaughter, his face flushed, as if he was very excited. This was the first time that he hit Helian Langgan, who depended on him for life. With his chest rising and falling, he saw his granddaughter's calm eyes. Finally, he gradually regained his composure, and suddenly sighed leisurely: "Langgan, it's Grandpa's fault. Grandpa is too excited. Alas, Grandpa has done nothing in his life. He can only do something for the Helian family at this last moment. Your great-grandfather said that your grandfather only lived for one thing in his life. If I could give up, I would have given up long ago. Why wait until today, when I can meet the person of my destiny in my lifetime? I will have no regrets in this life."

"I know you are no longer young, and what you say makes sense, but everyone living in the world will have their own persistence. When you really grow up in the future, you will understand what grandpa said, and you will also have your own With your persistence and hope, the hopes of the Helian family are all pinned on you. Although it is a bit cruel to let you, a twelve-year-old girl, shoulder the hopes of a family, Grandpa really doesn’t want the Helian family to go like this. Decline and disappear in the long river of history,"

He said so much in one breath and was out of breath. Under Helian Langgan's touch, he became more relaxed and finally turned to Lin Jinhong and said: "Mr. Lin, I'm sorry for delaying you for so long. I There is not much time left. Perhaps when a person is about to die, people will become more wordy. Mingtu believes that what he said today can have a small impact on Mr.'s future officialdom. This is enough. My husband is a person who doesn’t believe in fate. If you don’t like what you say, you can bear with it for a while. There will always be time to verify it in the future. Fate is a strange thing. People who don’t believe in it seem to be able to control it; but those who believe in it seem to have control over it. People pursue it hard but cannot pursue it."

"Sir, you may have a lot of doubts. Let Mingtu explain something to you while Mingtu still has some time. If it's really too late, you can ask Langgan. Although she is only twelve years old, she has already learned from the Helian family. , there is a tendency for a young person to outperform an old person. In the future, she may be able to help him solve problems and avoid disasters in the officialdom."

Lin Jinhong was a little stunned when he heard this. He Lian Ming Tu, who was in high spirits yesterday, now looked like he was going to die to hand over his will. Looking at He Lian Ming Tu's body, Lin Jinhong really found it hard to believe that what happened overnight What can make a person age quickly, and what can make a person wait silently for death.

"In ancient times, there were nine gates in the world, one of which was the numerology gate, and the Helian family was the leader of the numerology gate. The Helian family gathered the heads of several families and was proficient in the numbering of plum blossoms, the great Liuren, and the numbering of crape myrtle... "No matter how Lin Jinhong answered, Helian Mingtu began to introduce the past glory of the Helian family. According to Helian Mingtu, the Helian family is the master of the entire numerology sect and has been secretly serving the emperors and generals of the ancient feudal dynasty. Service, therefore, was not visible to the public. In the late Qing Dynasty and the warlord period of the Republic of China, although the Helian family selected several warlords as their true sons to end this chaotic history, none of them succeeded, and the Helian family began to decline. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, fortune-telling and fortune-telling became feudal superstitious activities. They were severely hit and the Helian family declined further. Later, Helian Mingtu moved his family to Hong Kong.

After listening to Helian Mingtu's Helian family history, Lin Jinhong sighed leisurely. Helian Mingtu did not wait for Lin Jinhong to speak, and continued: "I don't expect sir to hear the history of the Helian family. I am moved, but I don’t expect my husband to help me revive the Helian family. Although Mingtu loves books, he is not a nerd who can only fantasize. He also knows that if you want something in this world, you must first pay a reciprocal price. Now the Helian family The family is in decline and penniless. There is really nothing that can attract your attention. Besides, even if the Helian family has a lot of wealth, it is probably not something that your husband would like."

"Most of the books in this room are single copies. If we really calculate how much they are worth, I will give them all to my husband. I only hope that my husband can help me with three things," Helian Mingtu said and sighed. With a tone of voice and a wry smile on his lips, he looked at Lin Jinhong.

"Let me tell you what it is first and see if I can do it. I don't want to break trust." Seeing the loneliness flashing in Helian Mingtu's eyes, Lin Jinhong felt slightly sad, but did not refuse immediately and asked.

A hint of joy flashed in Helian Mingtu's eyes, he took a breath, and then said calmly: "After I die, I hope Mr. can take Helian Langgan in. After I die, I hope Mr. can bow to me. One last thing, Sir, please accept these three tips and open them on time,"

Lin Jinhong was slightly startled and looked at the three tips bags wrapped in yellow cloth in Helian Mingtu's hands. The three incidents mentioned by Helian Mingtu were beyond his expectation, "Mr. Helian..." He Just after saying four words, he stopped and stood up silently. It turns out that a person's death can be so casual. At this time, Helian Mingtu had closed his eyes and seemed to be sleeping peacefully, but Lin Jinhong knew , he will never wake up again.

Helian Mingtu didn't even give himself a chance to refuse. He was so calm. He probably knew that he would not refuse his three requests. Lin Jinhong slowly walked to Helian Mingtu and took the three tips from He took out his increasingly stiff hand and put it into his pocket. He silently looked at Helian Langgan with her eyes closed. Two crystal tears slowly slid down and fell on her clothes without splashing. At this moment, she Like a twelve-year-old girl, Lin Jinhong feels the most real.

He stretched out his hand lovingly, hesitated for a moment, and finally touched her head, "Langgan, my condolences and your kindness," he said, bending slightly and bowing to Helian Mingtu's body. In three minutes, although It's not short, but it can't save a lost soul.

"Thank you, you did not disappoint grandpa," Helian Langgan was standing beside her at some point. The tears in her eyes had long been wiped away, and she had returned to her usual calmness. She was never an ordinary girl.

Lin Jinhong asked An Tian to come in. An Tian was slightly startled when he saw Helian Mingtu leaning motionless on the Grand Master's chair, "Master, he... what happened to him,"

"Dead," Lin Jinhong said expressionlessly, feeling that such a conversation was a bit funny, "Okay, you can find a few people to help with the funeral arrangements. Langgan, what about you, do you want to leave with me?"

"I understand, young master," An Tian bowed and went out to call someone to prepare for Helian Mingtu's funeral.

Helian Langgan nodded resolutely, "Grandpa has entrusted me to you. I am yours. I will go wherever you go."

When Lin Jinhong heard this, he staggered and almost fell. Such words came from a twelve-year-old girl. Does she know how tempting those words are, I am yours, even though she is still a She is a child, but she has begun to take shape as a beauty. Her beautiful voice is definitely not the least bit tempting to men. "Don't say such things next time,"

Helian Langgan tilted his head, looked at him puzzled, and asked, "Why?"

Lin Jinhong wiped his sweat. After all, she was still a child. Maybe she didn't understand the meaning of that sentence. Forget it, there was no need to tell a child this. He shook his head, "Okay, let's go back first." Let’s go to the hotel and wait until the memorial service starts to see grandpa for the last time. An Tian, ​​please pack up the things here and don’t lose them.”

Helian Langgan nodded, walked to her grandfather's body, knelt down, and kowtowed three times, "Grandpa, Langgan wishes you a safe journey," and then kowtowed three more times in an upright manner.

"I need to pack my clothes," she stood up and said to Lin Jinhong.
