Chapter 9 Father and Daughter (Part 2)
The death happened not long ago! When I heard this sentence, my heart suddenly tightened, and then my heart was filled with an unspeakable desolation and sadness. In fact, in terms of relationship, Master Liu and I are not very close.
We haven't met many times in total.
But what is my sadness at this time? Is another person related to me and Master going to leave? Or do I have some feelings for Master Liu unknowingly?
I don't want to think about this, I just admit that I feel uncomfortable. There is one thing I don't know whether I should say or not. His daughter has a life limit, which is only two years. In fact, Master Liu doesn't have to do anything after two years.
Yes, even though he once told me that he would take his daughter with him.
Thinking of this, I became even more silent. I couldn't express my reluctance or questions, 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. He just said: "My body is exhausted. If I use the technique again, even if I don't go with my daughter, I will definitely be."
We can’t live for a few more days, so we might as well go together and have a companion on the road to hell. Chengyi, it won’t take long. If you hadn’t restored Guan Laidi’s soul, I wouldn’t be worried.”
"Master Liu, it is my promise to revive Guan Laidi's soul. It doesn't matter even if the departure date is postponed. Besides, we originally decided to leave in late spring or early summer, so this time is suitable." I tried my best to be calm.
Speaking of.
"Well, that's right. I hope you can come to my place one month in advance. I still have it." Master Liu's expression was solemn. Obviously this was also very important. I was also listening carefully. Why should you come one month in advance?
But at this moment, a sharp voice came from downstairs, interrupting our conversation: "Old man, tell me if you did it on purpose. Don't tell me again. This matter has nothing to do with you, old man."
Dude, what is your mentality? Have you been dependent on me your whole life? To put it mildly, I feel sorry for my daughter. To put it mildly, are you a nymphophilic person?! You really are."
As soon as I heard this voice, I knew it was Guan Laidi. No, it was Liu Zhenmeng's voice. I didn't want to describe how hard it was to curse. I saw a hint of timidity in Master Liu's eyes, and there was a trace of fear on his face.
He smiled bitterly, looking like he was silent and didn't dare to say anything more, but he was just lifeless.
I have long passed the age of passion. If it is not necessary, I can ignore ordinary incidents. But at this moment, I don’t know why. The anger rising in my chest cannot be suppressed. Nymphophilia? This is what a daughter should say.
What to say to your father? What to say to a father who is willing to bear the karma of ten lifetimes just for your two years of life?
So, without looking 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: "Apologise to your father!"
"Fine," Liu Zhen refused me without even thinking about it. Then she realized something was wrong, so she was stunned for a moment, stopped, and realized that it was me standing upstairs looking at her.
"Hehehe" she looked at me and put on a smiling face, but I felt a little awkward. Guan Laidi used to be pretty and simple, but now she put on expensive clothes to wrap her body and put on makeup, but what do I think?
Why is it not as pleasing to the eye as before? Maybe it’s because I don’t know how to appreciate it.
Liu Zhenmeng laughed a few times, and then said to me: "I know you, I recognize you, and I have to thank you for being able to do well now! Why do you have time to come here? Look, I haven't even told you properly.
Thank you, there is nothing at home, why don’t I invite you out for dinner as a thank you."
I was a little surprised. Am I familiar with her? She wanted to invite me out for dinner! And then left Master Liu at home alone?
"He is my little friend. If he were not fooling around with those men, he would not go out to eat with you." I suddenly turned around and found that Master Liu was standing behind me at some point, his voice was hoarse and unpleasant.
Underneath his voice, there was a sense of exhaustion that could not be concealed.
Liu Zhenmeng's face turned ugly all of a sudden, and she opened her mouth and cursed: "Old man, who do you think is fooling around? What kind of man is fooling around? You should explain it to me clearly? You are such an old fool."
"You'd better stop talking. Let me tell you a secret, okay?" I could guess what she was going to say next. My expression turned extremely ugly, and I couldn't help but interrupt Liu Zhenmeng.
Master Liu weakly grabbed my arm from the side, but I decided to ignore it. Should I let him live like this for the remaining half a year? Although he didn't say anything, I could probably guess.
.
When I said this, Liu Zhenmeng did not get angry. Instead, she put on a smile, as if she was looking forward to my secret. She was about to go upstairs, but I said: "No need to come up, just stand there and listen."
It’s not that I can’t hear it.”
"Then tell me." Liu Zhenmeng's expression changed, as if I had hurt her self-esteem by not allowing her to go upstairs and get closer. Unfortunately, I didn't care about the self-esteem of this girl whom I once sympathized with. I was the one who was unfilial.
The most hated.
"I have a very close relationship with your father. Seeing him living in such a sad life makes me feel uncomfortable. Originally, I had a secret that I always felt embarrassed and refused to tell. Now it doesn't hurt to tell you. That is, I am very good at fighting, and I
I can't help it anymore, no matter whether he is a man or a woman, I will do it, do you think this is a secret?" I said to Liu Zhenmeng seriously.
"What do you mean?" There was a trace of fear in Liu Zhenmeng's eyes, but Master Liu's presence seemed to give her more confidence, so she asked me.
"It's not interesting, it's just a secret! I don't want to see your father sitting at home with no one to take care of him next time I come here, unable to even have a cup of tea." My voice became a little harsh.
Master Liu sighed beside me, and finally called me with a reproachful tone: "Chengyi."
I kept silent, but it didn't mean that I felt comfortable. Liu Zhenmeng saw that Master Liu's attitude this time was not to protect her, and he didn't know what he was thinking. After being silent for a while, he suddenly snorted and grabbed the
Her handbag rushed out of the house.
"I've made you laugh." Master Liu said tiredly, leaning on the railing.
I didn't answer, I just kept silent for a while and said to Master Liu: "You haven't eaten, have you? I'm going to buy some food and some wine. Let's have a drink and I'll talk to you."
"Okay, okay" Master Liu agreed hurriedly. At this moment, how could he still look like the mysterious Shan Zi Mei descendant who was feared and respected by everyone in the Tianjin circle? He just looked like an ordinary, lonely old man.

"I didn't expect it. Why did my little girl become like this? Chengyi, I feel so miserable." In Master Liu's study, there were many dishes in front of us, but Master Liu actually ate most of them.
One afternoon, we were all chatting and talking about some interesting things in the circle of practitioners. Unexpectedly, when the sun set, or maybe we had had enough wine, or maybe the pain in our hearts could no longer be contained, Master Liu actually
He said something to me.
I didn't say anything and opened another bottle of Erguotou. I looked at Master Liu and Master Liu said repeatedly: "Pour it on, pour it on me. It's rare to get drunk in my life. I'm afraid this will be the last time I get drunk."
"
I poured the wine for Master Liu as I was told. During the process of pouring the wine, I whispered to Master Liu: "What do you mean by being drunk for the last time? In a few days, didn't you ask me to come over? I will accompany you every day."
You drink."
"Haha, you can't drink. In that month, I have to teach you the Taoism. How can you drink?" Master Liu said to me with his drunken eyes narrowed.
Master Liu wants to pass on his Taoism to me? I was stunned for a moment, then gently shook my head and said to Master Liu: "Master Liu, I'm afraid I can't learn that from you. I'll bite off more than I can chew.
I don’t have any talent in this area.”
Master Liu became angry all of a sudden. He slapped the table and said, "Are you looking down on me or something? Do you just want to see my craft terminated? Do I still have the nerve to see my ancestors?"
"No, really not!" I said to Master Liu seriously, then I thought for a moment and said to Master Liu: "If you don't mind, I can recommend someone to you. This guy will definitely be good at making utensils."
He is talented, because he was considered a formation master before, and he is a formation master of the younger generation."
"Huh? This weapon-making formation is indeed very important. After all, many things have to work, and the main thing is the seal-carving formation. I can trust the character of the person you introduced, just like you and your master, I can trust the character, then
Bring it to me then." Master Liu took a sip of wine and agreed very straightforwardly.
I can understand his frankness. At this time, there is not much left in life. It is already lucky that this tradition can be passed on, not to mention that a young man with talent and reliable character can inherit it.
What about Taoism? Master Liu has no reason to refuse.
As if he had agreed to this and put aside a lot of Master Liu's worries, he took another sip of wine and said to me: "Chengyi, don't blame Zhenmeng. In fact, I hate her after all."
If you can't get up, it's all my fault. No matter how good a child is, if he lies in bed for such a long time and has to endure physical pain and watch himself 'rotting', his psychology will be distorted. It's me, blame me, why should I?
Can you be angry with her?"
I didn't say anything, I just drank with Master Liu. If thinking like this would make him feel better, then let him think like this. Not all parents are like this. Even if their children are making a lot of mistakes, in the dead of night
When the time comes, don’t they find reasons in their hearts for their children?
Father's love and mother's love are the most resilient love and will never die until death. If this is the case, why not find a reason to make yourself feel better?
