Chapter 156

Accompanied by Fang Yang, Su Cangyue and the others went directly to the train through the VIP passage.

Fang Yang booked a soft sleeper ticket. In the same booth, there are exactly four beds. When the door is opened, it is quiet and comfortable.

When Lan Yu's call came in, Su Cangyue had already laid down and was about to rest, while the others were chatting without saying a word.

When she picked up the phone and heard Lan Yu's voice, the car immediately fell silent, and everyone opened their ears, ready to listen to gossip.

Su Cangyue was worried that Lan Yu would say something embarrassing again, so she decided to go out to answer the phone and get off the bed.

Seeing this, Zhao Dong quickly reminded her: "If it's about the chief's condition, you'd better not go out and say it."

She had no choice but to lie back and hypnotized herself in her heart. Except for herself, everyone else in the carriage was dumb, and they couldn't understand.

Lan Yu's voice came from the phone: "Hey, Cang Yue, are you listening?"

Su Cangyue closed her eyes and said softly, "I'm here, just tell me."

If she knew the circumstances under which Sapphire called her, she wouldn't have so many thoughts.

The General Hospital of the Military Region was still in the living room just now, Lan Yu was sitting on the sofa on the phone, while Old Man Lan and Lan Qiqi and his wife were staring seriously at the side.If it wasn't for the fact that the 96 simulator didn't have a hands-free function, these people would definitely ask him to use the hands-free call.

"Cangyue, you just said that your friend was rescued by an expert in the United States, can you tell me what happened to your friend?"

"I don't know exactly what happened. I only know that it was affected by the negative energy in the spell and fell into a coma."

Lan Yu tightened her hand holding the phone, and looked up at the old man. The old man's eyes were sharp and energetic, and he completely lost the look of the kind old man just now.

He sighed secretly, and asked softly: "Cangyue, do you know the magic technique?"

"In August of this year, I went to Changbai Mountain with someone, met a magician from the north, and heard some introductions from him." Su Cangyue answered while thinking, thinking about how to avoid telling lies, Not revealing too much.

"My friend also happened that time. After the onset, he fell into a coma, similar to a stroke. He tried many treatments, but none of them worked. Then he went to the United States. His son has a friend from STAM, Managed to find an expert for him."

"It's a coincidence that you have seen that expert, the one who had breakfast with us on the train we went to Northeast in August."

"Wait a minute, the friend you're talking about is the old gentleman who was with you on the train?"

"Yes, that old gentleman. His name is Lin Henan. He is also an old Chinese doctor. He has good medical skills and has some knowledge about magic arts. Mr. Lin is a descendant of Donglin, a school of magic arts. Although He doesn't know magic skills, but he knows some terminology in the world of magic tricks. That time I saw that friend from the United States on the train, and the two had exchanges."

"Mr. Lin once told me that that American friend is the heir to Chushu."

"Bang!"

The sound of something falling on the ground came from the phone, Su Cangyue immediately stopped talking, and asked suspiciously, "Lan Yu, what's wrong with you?"

"The lighter fell on the floor, wait a moment, I'll call you later." Lan Yu confessed, and hung up the phone in a hurry.

Listening to the beeping sound from the phone, Su Cangyue felt a strange feeling in her heart. After putting the phone away, she looked at Fang Yang on the opposite side and asked, "Fang Yang, does Lanyu smoke?"

"How is it possible!" Fang Yang immediately denied it, and defended his friend by the way: "Aunt Qin's family education is very strict, Lan Yu never smokes, and he only drinks beer, and he is only allowed to drink after his birthday! You are not discussing the Lan family. Uncle's condition, why do you suddenly think of asking this?"

Su Cangyue thought for a while, and felt that there was no need to hide it: "I was introducing a friend's situation to him, and when I mentioned a mysterious ability owner, I heard a strange noise on the phone, and then Lan Yu said that the lighter fell to the ground. , hang up the phone first, and call back later."

Fang Yang patted his thigh: "There must be someone next to that kid, and it's not convenient to talk. If you don't believe me, you can ask him when he calls again!"

On the other side, after Lan Yu hung up the phone, she hurried over to pick up the lighter on the ground, and carefully put it on the tea table next to the old man.This Zippo lighter was brought back by Minister Qin as a gift to the old man when he went abroad. He had been playing with it just now, but when he heard about the successor of the Chu technique, he accidentally dropped it to the ground.

The old man took the lighter and sighed: "Oh, I'm really old, and I can't hold things steadily. Siqi, it's getting late. Your wife just came back today. You can take her back to rest first. Let Xiaoyu accompany me later. Just go home."

The old house of the Lan family is near Houhai, but the two sons all have their own houses and do not live with the old man. Instead, Lan Yu, the third generation, often lives in the old house to accompany the old man.The old man opened his mouth to drive the two of them away first, and let Lan Yu stay, obviously he had something to explain.

Lan Siqi quickly stood up, Qin Yilan also stood up, the two agreed respectfully, turned and walked out the door.Before going out, Minister Qin gave his son a warning look.

After the two left, the old man didn't speak for a long time, and Lan Yu didn't dare to open his mouth. He sat quietly at the side and began to think about what made the old man lose his composure.Although the old man is seventy-three years old, his body has always been very strong, and because his physical condition has always been good, the Lan family has been able to survive the ups and downs of decades, and their lives are getting better and better.

The old man is a majestic national leader outside, and a loving elder at home. He has never lost his composure in front of the younger generation. What happened tonight that made him unable to hold the lighter firmly in his hand?
"Xiaoyu, come and sit down." The old man frowned and thought for a while, before finally speaking.

Sapphire walked over silently and sat down beside the old man.

Old Man Lan raised his hand, gently placed it on top of Lan Yu's head, and patted it softly a few times: "Xiao Yu, have you heard about your grandma?"

Sapphire shook her head.

Mr. Lan sighed, laughed at himself and said, "That's right, grandpa is so confused. It has been 21 years since your grandma passed away. My family is afraid of me being sad, so they never mention it. You are the only one, how would you know you?" About grandma?"

Lan Yu stretched out her hand to hold the old man's hand, and felt curious, what things can only be said after parents leave?

"The hometown of our Lan family is in Xiaoxiang. Grandpa studied at Chu Normal University when he was young, and met your grandma there. Later, seeing the country's decline and social turmoil, my Huaxia was in dire straits. I devoted myself to the army and revolution. Since then, your grandma has followed me, and we left the land of Xiaoxiang together."

"When I took your grandma away, I didn't know that she was from Huangshizhai, the largest and most mysterious Miao village in western Hunan. I thought she was just the daughter of a wealthy businessman in western Hunan..."

The old man narrowed his eyes, and his wife's beautiful and amiable face seemed to appear in front of him, with a look of nostalgia on his face: "Until we established a firm foothold in Jiangxi, your uncle came to the door and brought news of Xiaoxiang. , not only the Jiugongbao of our Lan family was besieged by the Trumen, but even your grandma’s Huangshi Village was also attacked by the Trumen. Only then did your uncle know that his sister-in-law is the only daughter of his master."

The old man fell into silence and didn't speak for a long time. The atmosphere in the room was heavy, and Lan Yu didn't dare to breathe out.

After a long time, the old man spoke again: "Jianlong joined the Trumen since he was a child, and he has undergone 15 years of trials, and is about to become a direct disciple. Unexpectedly, something happened, the civil strife in the Trumen, your uncle's master and his master are in trouble." The uncle and the two factions fought. His master, that is, my father-in-law was defeated and disappeared, the village was destroyed, and the things that Xiuniang received every year were gone, and her health deteriorated rapidly."

"Fortunately, Jianlong found us later and brought the last few copies of Yu Qinglu, which suppressed the poison on Xiuniang's body and insisted on finding a way to restrain it. It was not until eight years later that Xiuniang's body was recuperated. We Lan Jianguo's eldest son was also born ten years after our marriage, and Xiuniang was already 28 years old that year."

"Grandpa, it's not too late to have a baby at the age of 28. Is grandma okay now?"

"It's not too late in this age, but at that time, my brothers and friends of the same generation were almost ten years old." Old man Lan came back to his senses, sighed and said, "Your grandma's body will eventually It was a loss. After ten years of catastrophe, I suffered a lot with me, and I went there early at the age of 52. If I had known the truth back then, I would definitely not let your grandma follow me, but, In the end, I was not careful enough and didn't ask clearly, which caused the later regrets."

Lan Yu held the old man's hand: "Grandpa, don't be too sad, as long as grandma and you don't regret what happened back then, it is naturally not a mistake."

The old man was moved, looked at Lanyu for a while, saw that he was looking at him without flinching, sighed and said: "Xiaoyu, I told you so many things today, because I want you to know that the choice of life is It is often accompanied by many unforeseen consequences, everything must be planned before action, and don't let yourself have regrets. Now it seems that you think more clearly than grandpa."

The old man patted his head and said, "Besides that, I just want you to know that without your uncle, there would be no brothers and sisters like your father, aunt, and uncle. Your uncle has paid too much for grandpa and grandma. "

"What was right and wrong back then, I won't say much here. But there is one thing I have to tell you: the sorcerer who won the infighting in the Truman family that year was your uncle's uncle. He later followed the KMT Went to Taiwan. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, Xiangxi was purged organizationally, and the descendants of Chu art disappeared in the country, and your uncle’s injury has no good treatment.”

"If the successor of Chu art introduced by your friend is true, it may be your only chance for uncle to recover. However, because of the grievances in the past, the successor of Chu art introduced by your friend must be treated with caution."

Sapphire was stunned, the old man's expression gradually became serious, his whole body exuded an imposing aura, and his sharp eyes stared at him intently.

Sapphire nodded subconsciously: "Grandpa, tell me what to do!"
