Instantly, my hair stood up and I felt a chill in my heart.
It has been ten years, and I have known Master for so long. This is the first time that Master told me what happened that night...
But I remember Master said before that he was not in the village that night and he didn’t know anything. He didn’t know about my whole family except me until he returned to the village the next day, and then he adopted me.
But what he said now can only mean that Master lied to me before.
Why does Master want to hide something from me?
The sister who was following me did not speak at this time. She flashed and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Maybe she didn't want to hear what happened that night.
I stared at Master and said nothing.
I didn't know what to say at this time.
The master lowered his voice and said: "Jianfei, the reason why I haven't told you some things is because I want you to grow up safely. Do you understand what I mean?"
I hummed, but still didn't know what to say.
In fact, I know in my heart that if Master concealed something from me before, then Master may have his own reasons.
Master patted me on the shoulder: "Okay, don't feel sad. I didn't mean to lie to you."
"I know, so, who did you see killed my family?" I said with a trembling voice.
The master shook his head: "I haven't seen it. I will tell you the specific truth when you are an adult. It is too early now."
I said no more, walked quickly ahead, and returned along the original path.
The master followed behind and laughed loudly: "Boy, walk slower. When you become an adult, I will tell you everything that needs to be told to you.
I taught you so many skills just to let you avenge your family, do you understand?"
I yelled, "I got it!"
I don't know why, but I feel very depressed and uncomfortable at this time.
Although I understand Master, I still urgently want to know the truth of that year.
What happened at my house that night?
Why were my parents, my grandparents, and my sister all killed, but I was the only one who survived?
Why do the police have no clues after so many years?
My heart has been filled with these three words 'why'.
Master caught up with me, grabbed my arm and said, "Walk slowly, don't you know how to wait for me?"
I said angrily: "What are you waiting for?"
"Hey, are you angry yet?" Master said with a smile on his face.
I shook my head: "You promise, when I grow up, you will tell me all the truth."
"Well, when you become an adult, you should also be prepared to avenge your family. Study more and consolidate the skills I teach you. Don't lose it. I won't teach it a second time. If you lose it, you can't teach it again.
I will avenge your family." Master warned.
I asked tentatively: "Then I want to know, is the evil spirit that killed my family powerful?"
Master may have known that I wanted to trick him, so he answered directly: "I don't know."
I said anxiously: "But you said it before, you said that the death of my family was related to evil spirits! What kind of ghost was it that killed my family? A fierce ghost or an evil ghost? Or a sinister evil? Or a ghost king?"
The master continued to shake his head: "I don't know, I told you, you don't need to know now."
I suppressed the anger in my heart: "That's not because you brought up this topic first, otherwise my curiosity would not have been aroused."
The master said: "You kid, do you mean to blame me?"
I quickly shook my head and said, "I don't dare, I don't know."
The master laughed loudly: "You are the one who is the coward, you are so cowardly.
By the way, I will go to Jiangnan City tomorrow, and you will come with me."
I yawned and said, "I only have two days off on Saturday and Sunday. I still want to have a good sleep at home. Why go to Jiangnan City?"
"Autumn and winter are coming soon. Let me buy you some new clothes, and then take you to meet a financial sponsor. I want you to know what a rich woman is." The master chuckled.
Looking at Master's slightly vulgar smile, I said blankly: "Rich woman?"
"Yes, she is a young rich woman. She asked me to go to her manor to check out the Feng Shui." The master said, taking out a cigarette and lighting it.
I have known since I was a child that there are many rich people in Jiangnan City.
Otherwise, Master wouldn't have so much savings.
I said: "Then the matter of the souls of Liu Chao and Wang Yan being controlled, just let it go?"
The master sighed: "Otherwise? I don't know who controls the two of them. Now the enemy is in the dark and we are in the open. I can only wait for the answer to be revealed slowly in the future."
"Aren't you afraid that your enemies will target you?" I whispered.
The master said happily: "Afraid? I'm afraid of a hammer. I, Zhao Laosan, have never been afraid of anyone! Those losers can only play tricks on me behind my back.
Of course, if they want to play tricks on me, they can't trick me. Their moral conduct is far behind me."
I reminded: "You often say that there are people outside the world, there are mountains outside the mountains, and there is a sky outside the sky. The devil is one foot high, and the road is ten feet high. So it is better to be cautious."
"Hey, you kid taught me a lesson. You don't have to worry about me, I know what I'm doing."
…
…
Early the next morning, Master woke me up.
I packed up my things, carried my bag and left home with Master, and got on the bus to Jiangnan City.
I will not go back to the village in the evening. After Master has finished his work, I will take the bus directly back to school in the evening.
Master and I sat in the back seat of the car.
The master stretched his neck and kept muttering: "The girl in the first row of seats has a nose bridge that is too high, her cheekbones are protruding, her chin has an evil spirit, she has a long atrium, and her three courts and five eyes are out of proportion. She will not live to be thirty."
Five years old.
The driver had weak yang energy, dull eyes, and scratches on his neck. He looked like a henpecked guy at home.
The man with glasses who just got in the car has a dark look between his eyebrows, and he will definitely be unlucky within three days.
The elder sister in front has a faint red light flashing on her head, and she will encounter good things continuously this month."
I frowned when I heard this, thinking that if Master just shows people their fortunes, why is he still talking about it in such a fantasy way?
I couldn't laugh or cry: "Master, what do you mean by the flash of red light? What is it?"
The master squinted his eyes and said: "You kid can't see it, but when you reach my level, you can see it."
I smiled and said, "Then you can help me take a look and see if anything good has happened to me recently."
"I can't see that you are different from ordinary people. I won't talk nonsense to you anymore. Go to bed and call me at the station." After saying this, the master took off his coat, then covered his face with the coat and began to sleep soundly.
When we arrived in Jiangnan City, it was already half past nine in the morning.
Master hailed a taxi and told the driver to go to Tao's Manor.
The driver waved his hand directly and said: "The Tao Manor is haunted, so I won't go there. It's really unlucky!"
After saying that, he stepped on the accelerator and sped away.
