After the hero goes crazy

Chapter 229 Familiarity

The voice was soft and gentle, and seemed to have a hint of a smile on it, and it seemed to dispel all the troubles in people's hearts.

For some reason, Yao Shouning always felt that a dusty place in his memory was gently touched, and the lost predictive power was instantly restored.

A sense of strangeness, yet strange familiarity rushed into Yao Shouning's heart: She met Liu Bingzhou before!

As soon as this thought flooded into Yao Shouning's mind, she made herself laugh.

Liu Bingzhou was her maternal grandfather.

She spent all her childhood in Nanzhao. Even though the Liu family and her father were quite estranged at that time and they didn't have much contact with each other, as elders, they always had to meet each other during festivals.

When Yao Shouning was young, even if he wasn't very close to his grandfather, he had certainly met him.

How could such an idea pop up at this moment?
She was a little puzzled, but after knowing the strength of her blood, she was unwilling to ignore this intuition, but speculated secretly.

Just as she was stunned for a moment, everyone in the room had already stood up, and Liu staggered a few steps forward, walked to the door first and looked out——

At the entrance of the courtyard, there was a bluestone path leading directly to the inner courtyard. Footsteps came from behind Zheng Shi. After a few breaths, a tall figure came into everyone's eyes!
The man was about fifty years old, his gray hair was combed very neatly, and was fixed on the top of his head with an inconspicuous wooden hairpin.

Liu Bingzhou was wearing a blue Confucian shirt, with a lavender silk rope around his waist, and a black cloak. After seeing Liu Shi and others, he stood in the same place.

As Liu Shi said, he was handsome when he was young, but now he is old and handsome.

He has a long beard, thin cheeks, and wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, but those eyes seem to contain brilliance, as if the vulgarity of his body has been removed, and he is free and easy.

Liu Bingzhou's eyes slid across the faces of everyone in the Yao family one by one, and after pausing for a moment on Yao Wanning, they finally fell on Yao Shouning.

Although Liu Shi is his eldest daughter, logically speaking, her daughter should be like her father, but Liu Shi is not like him.

The three children of the Yao family, whether it is Yao Ruoyun or Yao Wanning, are not very good-looking, but the most outstanding one is Yao Shouning.

When most people see the Yao family, their first eyes are on Yao Shouning, but at this time Liu Bingzhou's eyes are not the same as this kind of eyes.

Yao Shouning felt that the reason why his grandfather looked at her was not because she was the prettiest, nor was it because she was similar to Liu Bingzhou.

His expression was complicated, as if he remembered many things through the gaze he met with Yao Shouning, and his eyes gradually became moist.

"Shou Ning——"

He suddenly sighed, his voice choked with sobs, and instantly dissipated the otherworldly aura that seemed to be unearthly from the world.

"Seeing you again—" He was thoughtful, his eyes were covered with mist, but he opened them wide as much as possible, seeing her appearance in his eyes, gradually combining with the shadow of the 'person' in his memory .

The thoughts of the past gradually become clear, and those memories that I thought I had forgotten resurfaced in my mind.

Liu Bingzhou's hands began to tremble slightly, and he subconsciously held the edge of the cloak, trying his best to control his emotions.

"32 years..."

He suppressed his excitement and sighed unconsciously, but Liu Shi and the others finally came to their senses at this moment.

"father!"

In the past, the Yao family used to have a strong temperament, and the one and only Liu family stomped their feet heavily at this time:

"Father! Why are you here?"

The words of her complaint blurted out, while speaking, the circles of her eyes became more and more red, and large streams of water gushed out of her eyes:
"It's been a month since I wrote to you, why are you here now?"

Before she could finish speaking, she burst into tears, "Something happened to my family, do you know? Woooooooo—"

After talking with her family members last night, Liu's heart was full of breath and stagnation in her heart.

Her husband's love and care could not make her feel relieved, and her children's comfort and understanding would only make her feel more self-blame.

She didn't fall asleep all night, and when she closed her eyes, she dreamed of the scene where she took the medicine and made trouble with the "River God".

Yao Wanning's words resounded in her mind like a revolving lantern. The moment her husband said that she fetched water, the "river god" of Bailing River had branded Yao Wanning on her body.

She regrets, she blames herself.

The character she has developed all along makes her unable to look directly at her mistakes and easily forgive what she has done, so she can only torture herself.

"I did something wrong, I did something wrong!"

Liu's tears flowed down her cheeks, and her strong spirit finally collapsed when she unexpectedly saw her father.

She was crying and crying, she was so sad that she couldn't stand up. Seeing her crying, Cao Mama panicked and wanted to help her, but she couldn't help her at all.

"I hurt Wanning, what should I do?"

"Father—"

"..."

The Yao Shouning brothers and sisters were stunned, it was the first time they saw Liu Shi so out of control, they were at a loss, and the joy that was born of Liu Bingzhou's arrival was dilute by panic.

"It's good to cry, it's good to cry."

Mammy Cao was relieved, seeing her slumped on the ground, she also sat on the ground to accompany her, took the handkerchief, wiped her tears, and patted Liu's back from time to time to comfort her.

Liu Bingzhou's memories were interrupted by his daughter's crying, helplessness flashed in his eyes, and he strode forward:

"Why are you crying!"

He reached for his daughter's arm:

"Isn't it just that I did something wrong? Dad is here."

Liu Bingzhou's words stunned Liu Shi who was crying heartbreakingly before.

She lost her mother in her early years, and she has always had a strong temperament. She has a weak younger sister who needs her care.

The father and daughter had a heart-to-heart relationship for many years and had not had much contact with each other, but when Liu Shi heard what her father said, the panic in her heart was soothed.

"If you have anything to say, talk slowly after entering the room."

Liu Shi sniffed and nodded.

After crying a lot just now, she had vented her emotions, and she was much calmer now.

Those eyes that were already as dead ashes lit up again, and the whole person's spirit was refreshed a lot. After taking the kerchief handed over by Madam Cao to wipe his face, he got up again with the help of his father, turned around and ordered Fengchun went to fetch hot water so that he and his father could wash their faces and hands.

Her gaffe was only for a while, but now she has returned to her former shrewdness and ability. After doing all this, she followed Liu Bingzhou, let him sit in the main seat, and herself sat in another chair on his left Then he wiped his eyes again, and said in a hoarse voice:

"How did you come so fast?"

She was crying and complaining about Liu Bingzhou's slow arrival, but now she wonders why her father arrived in Shendu in late December.

"Are you here alone? Why didn't you find someone to accompany you?"

Feng Chun quickly brought in two pots of hot water and placed them on the cabinets on either side of the chair.

Liu Bingzhou didn't answer in a hurry, but stretched out his hand to twist the veil, and glanced at the people in the room.

The people staying in the house of the Yao family were all from their own family, and the maids who waited on them, Cao Mama, etc. were all familiar faces, even though they hadn't seen each other for many years, Liu Bingzhou still recognized them one by one.

"This is Fengchun, this is mallow..."

"father!"

Liu's temperament is impatient, seeing that he didn't reply to her words, she couldn't help shouting at a higher volume, the voice was a bit coquettish when she was not married back then.

"Look at you, what's the rush?"

Liu Bingzhou shook his head and said to her:
"That temper is different from your mother's, but similar to your grandmother's back then."

A few words of conversation between the father and daughter, and a few words of complaint from Mrs. Liu lowered her head, immediately dissolved the estrangement of more than twenty years.

"We haven't seen each other for ten years, and Shouning's birthday is coming up. Last month, I was thinking about going to the capital of God. Maybe it just happened to be in time for Shouning's birthday party."

He smiled, showing a Confucian and elegant demeanor.

"I didn't know that I received your letter halfway and found out that so many things happened at home."

Yao Shouning stood beside the elder, and after hearing Liu Bingzhou's words, he felt a little strange in his heart.

She turned her head to look at her sister, only to see that Yao Wanning was also looking up at her, and the two sisters exchanged a look, both of which were puzzled.

After the incident happened at home last month, Mrs. Liu did write a letter back to Nanzhao to ask her father for help.

But the person who delivered the letter was specially found by Liu Shi, how could it be such a coincidence that they met halfway?Just met, the two sides don't know each other, why did they get on the line by accident?

Yao Shouning felt strangely that his grandfather might be waiting for him on purpose, so he got this special letter from home.

But why did he wait on purpose?Unless he knew of the existence of this letter a long time ago, that's why he intercepted it by such a coincidence.

At this moment, Liu Bingzhou seemed to have noticed the small movements of the two sisters, and turned his gaze.

The moment Yao Shouning met his eyes, he saw him smile slightly, with emotion in his eyes.

Those eyes are not only like looking at a beloved junior, but also like finally meeting an old friend whom he hasn't seen for a long time.

Liu Bingzhou smiled at her, and in an instant, Yao Shouning saw a change in the wooden hairpin on his head.

It was originally a hairpin made of polished wood, but in a moment, buds the size of rice grains bulged out from the head of the hairpin.

Those small buds are stretched, and pieces of tender green sprouts open from them, and it is full of spring!
Her eyes widened suddenly, as if she couldn't believe it.

Seeing her acting like this, Liu Bingzhou couldn't help but slightly bend the corners of his eyes, revealing a hint of a smile.

"elder sister--"

Yao Shouning turned his head, called Yao Wanning, and then looked at his elder brother.

However, everyone's faces remained the same, as if they hadn't noticed the change in the wooden hairpin on the grandfather's head.

She went to look at Liu Bingzhou again, he still wore the wooden hairpin on his head, but green sprouts had already emerged from the body of the hairpin, and the buds were full of vitality, trembling slightly when he turned his head when he spoke, it was so vivid!

Liu Bingzhou blinked at her, showing a mischievous look, then turned his head to respond to Liu's words:

"Chao Ping came with me. He packed some things and put them in the carriage. He walked slowly, just behind. I took Zheng Shi's car and came together."

The 'Chao Ping' he said was a servant of the Liu family, who had been with Liu Bingzhou for many years, was loyal to him, and learned some martial arts.

Liu Shi was relieved when he heard that someone was going out with him.

It's just that when she thought of what happened at home, she couldn't help crying again.

"Father." She called out in a low voice:
"Since last month, a lot of things have happened at home."

The matter started with her receiving a letter from Xiaoliu's family, "You also know that Wanning has been in poor health since she was born. Last month, I heard that the descendants of a Sun Yaowang in the south of the Yangtze River are coming... "

Although Mrs. Liu is self-willed and stubborn, she corrects her mistakes as soon as she knows them, and she doesn't shy away from her own mistakes, even in front of her three children.

She impulsively wanted to smash Miracle Sun's pharmacy, and then an incident occurred, causing her elder son and Miracle Sun to be possessed by evil spirits, and the Yao family was involved in a lawsuit. Later, she was bewitched by Miracle Sun and made her daughter marry the "God of the River". Then he told everything about the marriage in his dream.

"To tell you the truth, I'm extremely irritable these days, and I can't calm down at all."

Mrs. Liu picked up the hot handkerchief and covered her face:

"Last night I heard that evil spirits exist, like five thunderbolts. I don't believe in Shouning, and I harmed Wanning. I have the responsibility of Zhizhu to make a good house like this. I, I..."

She was sobbing again, "If it wasn't for the fact that the matter hadn't been finished, I would really be ashamed to see others. If something happened to Wanning, I wouldn't be able to live—"

"nonsense!"

Hearing what she said, Liu Bingzhou immediately reprimanded her.

He wiped his hands slowly, then threw the handkerchief back into the basin, got up and untied the cloak by himself, did not sit down, but looked down at Liu Shi from a high position:

"However, the influence of a mere trace of evil spirit makes you panic, and you say that you can't live, it's really childish!"

After speaking, he shook his head.

When everyone heard what he said, they were a little bit stunned, and when Mrs. Liu didn't know what to do, she was at a loss——

I saw Liu Bingzhou put one hand behind his back, raised his right hand, clasped his three fingers, stretched out his index finger and middle finger side by side, wrote in emptiness, and shouted:

"Zibuyu, strange power and confusion—"

Every word sounded sonorous and forceful, and everyone present was also literate, knowing that this sentence came from the mouth of Confucius, but I don't know why Liu Bingzhou would say such a thing at this time.

Only Yao Shouning always felt that his grandfather's short sentence seemed to contain infinite power.

"Excuse the evil!"

Liu Bingzhou's expression froze, and the moment he uttered the word 'Zhuxie', the power of great Confucianism formed a righteous atmosphere, which turned into a wonderful constraint between heaven and earth.

'Ah ha--'

Everyone at the scene seemed to hear a strange scream like a beast or a snake, as if it was very shrill, and then Liu's face twisted.

Upon closer inspection, her face seemed to be covered in black smoke.

The black smoke seemed to be forced out of her body, hovering around her face unwillingly, but she herself didn't notice it.

The power of the great Confucianism was exerted, and the word "Zhu Xie" was transformed into legal words. Yao Shouning was horrified to see that wherever her grandfather's fingers passed, golden shadows were left behind.

'Zhu Xie', two big golden characters floating in the air, turned into two slender golden dragons in the blink of an eye, heading straight for Liu's facade!
'Whoa! '

The black air uttered a stern warning, coiled into a ball, and a hazy and slender snake shadow loomed in the black air.

It was about to stretch its teeth and claws at the two golden dragons, but in an instant, the two air collided, and the black air was instantly dispersed!
The two golden dragons easily tore through the blockade of the evil mist, defeated the shadow of the black snake occupying it, and hid in Liu Shi's body.
