Chapter 53
Chapter 53
Sometimes Wu Tong feels that he can't see through Yan Zian.
Maybe it's just what Feng Ran said, Yan Zian is fundamentally different from what he showed, those sunny and cheerful characters, gentle and considerate actions are all open to question.
But Wu Tong could feel that Yan Zian was sincerely treating him well, but sometimes, like now, he clearly told the other party that he was himself, but he felt as if he had fallen into a passive state.
It's like an ocean, wide and inclusive and endless, as if you have seen the colorful underwater world, but in reality, the water is still and deep, and there are invisible things settling in the dark depths. Even if the surface is calm, there are still undercurrents surging in the deep sea.
No matter what, he met Yin Chen the next day as scheduled, and Yan Zian even greeted Yin Chen, telling them to be careful on the way.
Yin Chen glanced at Yan Zian indifferently, then looked away.
"I'll take care of him," he said.
Yan Zian smiled: "That's really troublesome for the Taoist priest."
"No trouble," Yin Chen said, "It should be done."
After he finished speaking, he pulled Wu Tong over and took Wu Tong out.
Wu Tong was a little afraid to look back at Yan Zian, always feeling that his eyes must be terrifying now.
Yin Chen took Wu Tong by car, all the way to the suburbs, and walked in front of a small three-story building.
One look at this small building and you can tell that the people living in it must be very romantic. There are various flowers and plants in the garden, and all kinds of small ornaments are full of life.
On the way here, Yin Chen had already told Wu Tong about his mother-in-law.
There is no blood relationship between him and his mother-in-law, not biological.
Yin Chen: "When I was a child... there was something wrong with me."
"My mother-in-law saw her and said she could be cured, so she brought me there. I lived with my mother-in-law until I was 14 years old."
The only relative with whom he has a good relationship is his elder sister Yin Hong, and he doesn't have much feeling for his parents.
Those parents were very afraid of him at that time, and almost threw him away, but the mother-in-law suddenly appeared and said that she wanted to take him away, so his parents naturally couldn't wish for it.
But Yin Chen didn't tell Wu Tong about this in detail, he explained all these things very plainly.
Wu Tong: "Then this mother-in-law is your teacher?"
"It should be counted." Yin Chen paused, "She sometimes gives me some guidance when I'm confused."
Wu Tong looked at Yin Chen and felt that the other party should have never been to school.
In other words, he couldn't imagine Yin Chen wearing a school uniform and sitting in class with other students. The sense of disobedience was too strong, and he simply didn't fit in.
But Yin Chen has an inexplicable aura that makes people dare not underestimate it, and seems to know everything. This is the so-called... the aura of a master?
Wu Tong thought.
"Is it really okay for me to come here empty-handed?"
He couldn't help asking again.
Regardless of whether it was his own or not, this mother-in-law must be very important to Yin Chen, and he respected it after hearing this, so he just went there empty-handed, without bringing anything, really uncomfortable.
Yin Chen: "No need."
Even though Wu Tong had asked similar questions three times, he didn't show the slightest bit of impatience.
He directly pushed open the door outside the small building, then turned sideways to signal Wu Tong to go in.
Wu Tong was still a little apprehensive, and after entering, he followed Yin Chen and entered the house.
"Grandma, I'm here."
Yin Chen said something to the room.
He didn't shout louder, and he didn't feel the joy or excitement of seeing the mother-in-law, everything behaved as usual.
After the words fell, a woman came out.
She is not dressed in an old fashioned way, which is different from Wu Tong's imagination. She looks only about 50 years old, and she doesn't feel old at all, but very young.
Wu Tong wanted to know how old she was now, and thought it would be impolite to ask this question, so he held back.
"You came."
The mother-in-law said, then looked at Wu Tong behind Yin Chen, paused for a moment, and then a smile appeared on her face.
"This is... this is Wu Tong, right?"
"You know me?"
"Hey, Yin Chen told me that you, you are the same as Yin Chen, just call me mother-in-law." The mother-in-law looked at Wu Tong, she was inexplicably dazed, and then she suddenly returned Overwhelmed, he turned away as if to cover up.
"Please wait for me for a while, I will go and get some fruit for you."
Before Wu Tong said she didn't need her, she entered the house, and Wu Tong wanted to follow him to see if he could help, but was held back by Yin Chen.
"Need not."
"……what?"
Wu Tong suddenly felt a little weird.
He thought it was his own illusion just now, but now it seems that it is not.
Generally speaking, the status of elders must be high, and Yin Chen has a special relationship with her mother-in-law, which is even more so. But when he saw it just now, he seemed to feel that Yin Chen was the one in the high position. There is a subtle respect in the mother-in-law's words, she doesn't seem to treat her younger generation, let alone a student.
When he asked this question, Yin Chen gave him a strange look.
"Mother-in-law is like this."
Wu Tong still didn't think so, maybe it was just to Yin Chen, but he didn't speak again.
The mother-in-law came out with a full fruit basket, and even wanted to peel Wu Tong, but he quickly stopped her.
She was also not persistent, and started to talk about business after being stopped.
She said: "Yin Chen told me about the general situation."
"That black bird..." She didn't know what to think of, paused for a moment, and then continued: "Wu Tong, your physique is indeed the same as that of Wu."
"Other things are similar to what Yin Chen told you. You must find the Lingshi, otherwise..." The mother-in-law glanced at Wu Tong, which made Wu Tong's heart shudder, and always felt that the other party had seen through everything.
For an expert like my mother-in-law, it seems that it is not uncommon to be seen through, but he himself will be so embarrassed that he wants to die.
In the end, not only did he feel that the mother-in-law's attitude towards Yin Chen was not right, she even looked at him in the wrong way, not with malice, but... he couldn't describe what it was exactly.
In the end, the mother-in-law still didn't tell the consequences, but changed the subject: "It's right for Yin Chen to give you the string of wooden beads, it can prevent most ghosts."
"……most?"
"No one is sure about this. Who knows what is hidden in the world?"
Wu Tong pursed his lips, but there was still something he didn't want to understand.
"How did I become like this? My parents are both human, and there has been nothing wrong with them for more than 20 years."
The mother-in-law looked at him with complicated eyes and sighed.
"You look like a human being now, but you are not in essence."
"Since you already know that there are ghosts and reincarnation in the world, you should be able to understand my words."
"It's not that you have become a scorpion," she said softly, "It's that you have always been."
Wu Tong: "...??"
He still didn't get it.
"What do you mean? It means that I was in my previous life, and in this life... No, it doesn't matter after reincarnation?"
"Not in the previous life," the mother-in-law shook her head. She seemed to want to say something, but she just sighed, and there was a little sadness in her eyes.
Wu Tong didn't know why she looked at him like that. An old man looked at him with such eyes, which made him feel uncomfortable.
However, the mother-in-law didn't mean to say any more, and instead said to Yin Chen: "You just need to protect him, and only you can do it."
Yin Chen responded, and Wu Tong suddenly realized that he was now a delicious "Tang Monk Meat".
"Is it true that eating my heart can save the dead??"
"It's true." Yin Chen replied.
Wu Tong felt that after he knew this, he might have to be vigilant all the time, afraid that he would be stared at by something and become [paranoia of persecution].
He also had an intuition that his mother-in-law hadn't said something, but since the old man didn't want to say it, he couldn't insist on asking.
"But don't be afraid," Yin Chen said, "I will protect you, nothing will have a chance to do anything to you."
When he said this, his tone was calm, which made Wu Tong's restless heart calm down.
"Yin Chen, come here, I'll talk to you alone." The mother-in-law stood up, opened the curtain of the inner room, and signaled Yin Chen to go in, "Come here again to see if there is anything you need to get."
Yin Chen said to Wu Tong: "Wait for me for a while."
Wu Tong nodded, watching his back disappear behind the curtain, just sitting on the chair and looking at the flowers in the yard, gradually getting a little lost in thought.
The amount of information is not usually large, and he needs time to sort it out and adjust his mentality.
Suddenly he heard footsteps, as if someone came in from outside.
"who are you?"
It was a female voice, and he looked up and found that it was a young girl in a long skirt.
The girl was pretty, wearing a long white dress with a dusty air, and she was looking at him with some doubts.
"Ah, what, I came here with Yin Chen."
Wu Tong stood up and replied like this.
Looking at the girl's familiarity with this place, he guessed that she should be quite close to her mother-in-law, maybe it's a relationship like a granddaughter.
"Yin Chen? Brother Yin Chen? Did he bring you here? What did he bring you here for?"
As soon as the girl heard Yin Chen's name, she seemed to become excited. A series of questions were thrown out, and Wu Tong didn't know which one to answer.
He saw that the other party's attitude had become a little unfriendly, so he also frowned: "Who are you?"
"My name is Jiang Yinglian, and I'm the granddaughter of this family!" The girl calmed down, "Who the hell are you? What's your relationship with brother Yin Chen?"
Her voice is soft.
"Wu Tong," Wu Tong said, "Friend Yin Chen."
"Friends? Where can Brother Yin Chen have friends?"
Wu Tong: ...Oh, this is so right, I'm afraid Yin Chen might be offended.
In Wu Tong's eyes, Yin Chen is a good person with countless advantages, how can such a person be withdrawn and have no friends?Although his temper looked a little colder and his speech was a little more concise, it's not a problem!Yin Chen's inner brilliance can definitely be felt by others!
Jiang Yinglian: "Can't you say it?"
Wu Tong: "What's your relationship with him? Yin Chen should only have one older sister, no younger sister, right?"
These surnames are different, could it be that Yin Chen really recognized a good sister?
Jiang Yinglian wanted to speak, but her face turned pale, she suddenly covered her heart, staggered and was about to fall to the ground.Wu Tong was taken aback by her, so it was impossible to just watch her fall, and quickly supported her, if something happened, he would not be able to explain it when his mother-in-law came out.
In the spirit of humanitarian concern, he asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Jiang Yinglian's face was pale, panting with difficulty, and her lips lost all color. When she seemed to have finally recovered, she went to the small bag she was carrying, took out a medicine bottle, poured out a few medicines, and swallowed them directly .
"I have a heart attack."
she said.
Wu Tong helped her to sit up, and then wanted to push her away, but she didn't expect to be grabbed by her.
Wu Tong: "?!"
"What are you going to do?"
He didn't want to fight with Jiang Yinglian on the ground, what would Yin Chen see when he was released later.
Jiang Yinglian looked up at him with inexplicable emotions in her eyes.
She said softly: "You must be very healthy, that's great."
Wu Tong didn't know what she was going to do, just wanted her to let go, and then heard her speak again.
"Do me a favor."
"Help me, I don't want to die."
Wu Tong: ...This girl not only has heart disease but also mental problems?
For the time being, he was impatient: "You should go to the doctor, I can't save you."
"You can, you can lend me," Jiang Yinglian still pulled him, "You can lend me for a year or two, it won't affect you, I can exchange it with money."
Borrowing for a year or two means borrowing life.
Wu Tong was terrified when he realized this, and no matter how good-looking Jiang Yinglian was, he had a bottom line even if he was Yangou, not to mention why he couldn't get a good impression of Jiang Yinglian when he looked at Jiang Yinglian. With a polite attitude, the other party actually wants to borrow his life at this moment? ?
No one would take life too long. He had just received such a large amount of information, and he was still sensitive to this aspect at the moment. It was the first time he met Jiang Yinglian, so he immediately withdrew his hand.
I don't know if Jiang Yinglian is really weak or what, but because of his strength, she threw herself to the ground.
Wu Tong's complexion was not very good-looking, he did not say a word "scroll" already restrained.
Since Jiang Yinglian is like this, there is no need for him to be polite anymore. He is not a three-year-old and knows what he is doing, so there is no need to hold back.
Yin Chen just walked out at this time.
And Jiang Yinglian raised her head, she couldn't shed tears, and called out "Brother" very aggrieved.
Wu Tong saw him with a calm face, looking very oppressive, and thought he had misunderstood this scene, and was about to explain, but saw him standing in front of him, separating him from Jiang Yinglian.
Yin Chen looked at Jiang Yinglian with gloomy eyes, and uttered a word.
"roll."
