Chapter 828 Strange Things
Hou Zhen said to Ouyang Shuangjie: "Can you give me a cigarette?" Ouyang Shuangjie took out the cigarette and handed it over, and then took out the lighter, but Hou Zhen waved his hand: "No, I just smell it, this Things are not good for your health, in fact, I quit a long time ago. Young people, you better quit too, seeing you like this, you are quite addicted."

Ouyang Shuangjie laughed, he really wants to quit smoking, but how can he quit, he often works day and night, and he has to rely on this thing to refresh himself, and when he thinks, he is used to having a cigarette in his hand, even if he doesn’t smoke , smelling the smoke is also good.

Ouyang Shuangjie didn't answer, and waited quietly for Hou Zhen to say who that person was. Although he already had an answer in his heart, he was still lucky. In his opinion, what Hou Zhen wanted to say should not be that name?Because that should not have any intersection with Hou Xiaosong.

Hou Zhen played with the cigarette that Ouyang Shuangjie gave him, and finally said: "One day about two months ago, Xiao Song hurried home, he said that he received a letter a few days ago, It was a very strange letter. Although the recipient was Xiaosong, the content of the letter was very boring. It told a story. The story was absurd. It was said to be in the middle and late Qing Dynasty. What is it? I don’t remember exactly when…”

The story that Hou Zhen told turned out to be the strange legend about Chen Daguan devouring human flesh so that he could live forever.

Ouyang Shuangjie's heart couldn't help tightening. It seemed that his worry was not superfluous. Hou Xiaosong's death had something to do with Chen Daguan.

"The letter was not signed and signed, and it was not sent by the post office or a courier company. It was stuffed directly through the door to his company. Xiaosong didn't take it seriously when he received the letter. He thought It was a deliberate prank by someone who just threw the letter away and left it alone."

But two days later, Hou Xiaosong received an anonymous phone call. The person who called him claimed to be Chen Daguan. Hou Xiaosong sounded familiar, but for a while he couldn't remember who this Chen Daguan was.When Hou Xiaosong narrated to Hou Zhen, Chen Daguan seemed very displeased that Hou Xiaosong could not remember who he was. He asked Hou Xiaosong, did Hou Xiaosong not read that letter?
Speaking of letters, Hou Xiaosong recalled that although Hou Xiaosong was engaged in this business, he was still a college student with a higher education. He believed that Yili had its scientific nature, but everything in the world had its own law of development, that is, The so-called "Tao", but he insists that this is science, not superstition.In his opinion, the so-called eating human flesh to obtain eternal life is nonsense, so he accused Chen Daguan on the phone and told him not to do such boring things again.

Who knew that instead of being angry, Chen Daguan laughed. He asked Hou Xiaosong if he thought he was telling a story, but Hou Xiaosong hung up the phone because he was too lazy to answer him.

At first, he thought the matter was over, but on the afternoon when he received the call from Chen Daguan, when he was about to drive home from get off work, he felt that someone was following him in the underground parking lot. He didn't see it until he got to his car. When that person appeared, he let out a long sigh of relief, got into the car quickly, and drove away from the parking lot.

"At this moment, a strange thing happened." Hou Zhen said here, and sighed: "Actually, after I heard Xiaosong tell me all this, I wondered whether Xiaosong really had such a thing. Experience, or his own imagination, until Xiaosong’s accident, I didn’t think this incident should have happened for real, and it’s all my fault. If I didn’t doubt what he said and paid attention to it, maybe he wouldn’t have This is the result."

Ouyang Shuangjie nodded slightly. At this time, what he wanted to hear was what happened next, rather than Hou Zhen's sigh.It’s just that he couldn’t urge Hou Zhen. The death of Hou Xiaosong really hit the old man hard. Hou Xiaosong was Hou Zhen’s only son and the only hope for him and his lover. Now that hope is gone, the two old people will live in the dark. live the rest of my life.

"Look at me, it's getting too far." Hou Zhen smiled self-deprecatingly.

Then he said that Hou Xiaosong was driving on the road, and suddenly he saw a person sitting in the back seat from the rearview mirror.A middle-aged man with a pale complexion but piercing eyes. The middle-aged man's attire feels a bit weird, like a gray coarse sermon robe, with his hair tied up and a hairpin inserted.

Hou Xiaosong hurriedly stepped on the brakes, and the car stopped on the side of the road.

Hou Xiaosong asked who the middle-aged man was and why he was in his car. The middle-aged man laughed and told Hou Xiaosong that he was the one who wrote and called Hou Xiaosong. His surname was Chen and his name was Chen Daguan.

After Hou Xiaosong heard this, he was not so frightened. He had already calmed down. He said that no matter who the middle-aged man was, he hoped that he would stop disturbing his life.

The middle-aged man still had a smile on his face. He said that Hou Xiaosong is also an expert in easy learning, and he should be very good at reading faces. He asked Hou Xiaosong to take a closer look at him, or touch his bones or look at his palmistry , must be able to get the answer.

Hou Xiaosong originally didn't want to do such a boring thing, but he didn't know why Hou Xiaosong was also a little curious. In fact, when he received the letter, he had a question that had been bothering him. Is there really immortality?People are like this, sometimes they know that it is impossible, but they will have fantasies in their hearts.That can be regarded as a kind of hope, who doesn't want to live a long life, or even live forever?
In such a state of mind, Hou Xiaosong really used his knowledge of Yi Xue to examine the middle-aged man's bones, facial features and palmistry, but he was stunned. Yes, he was indeed stunned. Judging from the person's skeleton, face and palm prints, the person's age is at least a hundred years old, but this person looks less than 40 years old.

Even so, Hou Xiaosong didn't really believe what this person said. He suspected that he was not good at learning and made a wrong judgment.

Hou Xiaosong thought, there is another possibility, that is, this person is also an expert, and he intentionally changed his body. Of course, Hou Xiaosong knows that this kind of thinking is a bit self-deceiving, and any artificial changes are supposed to be unable to destroy his own numerology and fortune. Yes, but no matter what, Hou Xiaosong will not believe what the so-called Chen Daguan said.

Chen Daguan got out of the car without further entanglement. He told Hou Xiaosong that it is actually not difficult to live forever. According to traditional medicine and Taoism, although it is impossible for people to live forever, it is actually not difficult to live to one or two hundred years old. It's not difficult, it's just that most people don't know how to do it.

Chen Daguan said that Hou Xiaosong is a savvy person, much better than his disciples and grandchildren. He thinks that Hou Xiaosong is destined, so if Hou Xiaosong wants to live forever, he can teach him.
