Infinite Script Killing
Chapter 479 Leaving
Green smoke from three yellow incense sticks slowly rose around the ancestor's memorial tablet.
Gao Tianfang, his son Gao Zhuo, and his daughter-in-law Fengxia knelt in front of the ancestral hall. They knelt three times and bowed nine times to the tablets of their ancestors, and then took out a jar from under the ancestral hall.
The jar is sealed with a seal. This is a soul-residing altar. This thing is familiar to anyone who knows a little bit about it.
The things stored inside are Mr. Gao's hair, nails, nose hair, and his beloved things. They use this as a guide to send his soul in the altar.
Gao Xiaoshan's soul is incomplete and cannot enter the underworld. This has always been a pain in the hearts of the Gao family.
Now that Gao Zhuo has found his grandfather's lost soul, it can be said that the hurdle that made Gao Tian feel relieved has finally been lifted a lot.
Xu Tong stood waiting outside the ancestral hall from a distance. Although Mrs. Gao and his master were old friends, it was better to avoid this kind of thing.
I walked to the yard, took out my phone, and took a look at the calendar on my phone.
But my mind was thinking of another person.
Yang Zixuan.
If nothing else happens, this guy will give himself a call back before 12 o'clock tonight.
I hope the guy can pass the test smoothly. Although the two of them are not easy to deal with, Yang Zixuan is still very particular about how he behaves and works with others. He can afford to take things and let them go. I still look forward to the next time the two of them work together. Coming.
Of course, if he is safe, he can go back to L City directly, otherwise he will have to make a trip.
"Xiao Xu!"
Xu Tong raised his head and saw Grandma Li, dressed in plain clothes, walking in from the door carrying a bamboo basket.
Seeing this, Xu Tong stood up quickly and reached out to help Grandma Li's arm.
But Grandma Li turned aside and hid: "My child, thank you this time."
Xu Tong put down his hand and took the bamboo basket from Grandma Li's hand: "You have always taken care of me like this. It is only I who thank you for your troubles during this time."
"Humph, you kid is still being polite to me."
The two of them glanced at each other and knew something in their hearts. After all, between great masters, unless they deliberately try to hide it, it is basically impossible to hide it.
But Xu Tong could tell that Grandma Li was in a very bad state, and even her destiny was completely blurred. It was not that it was not there, but that it was completely blurred. Only people who are about to expire would be like this.
"Then... don't go in and take a look."
Xu Tong pointed to the ancestral hall at the back. Looking at Grandma Li's plain clothes, she obviously planned to worship Mrs. Gao.
“Later, they will be angry if I go in now.
Grandma Li seemed to be tired, and she sat casually on a stone pier aside. She talked about what happened back then, looking at the spiritual tablets in the ancestral hall with very complicated eyes.
"Something happened in the mountains that year, and I left my grandfather and grandson behind. I didn't expect that it would be twenty years before I left. When the old man left, I wasn't home, and when my daughter-in-law left, I wasn't home either. My son was paralyzed. , I’m not at home either, and now that I’m back, they should blame me.”
Xu Tong just listened honestly. In the mental hospital, he learned how to be a qualified listener since he was a child.
I believe that Grandma Li is not telling her this to get comfort from herself. She just wants someone to listen to her story. Finding a qualified listener is a kind of comfort in itself.
"Times have changed, and so have people, but sometimes, you always have to leave something behind."
Grandma Li opened the bamboo basket and saw a bowl of noodles, a letter and a bronze medal in the bamboo basket.
The face is for Gao Xiaoshan, the letter is for Gao Tian, and the bronze medal is for Gao Zhuo.
Underneath, there is an inconspicuous little thing, a round bead that looks like a glass bead, which is for Xu Tong.
"Son, when your master was looking for something, he couldn't find it. Later, when I found it, he didn't have any use for it. You have inherited his mantle, so it's time to give this thing to you."
Xu Tong stretched out his hand to take it, and felt that as soon as he took it, a strong sense of restlessness appeared in his prop book. Xu Tong was very familiar with this feeling, it was [Source]
"My child, the road ahead is difficult. Xiaozhuo will be in your charge from now on."
"rest assured!"
Xu Tong nodded, and Grandma Li also smiled with satisfaction. When she saw the three people walking out of the ancestral hall, she took out the noodles from the bamboo basket and held them in her hands.
Then she signaled Xu Tong to wait for her to enter before handing the bamboo basket to Gao Zhuo.
"What are you doing here!"
When Gao Zhuo saw Grandma Li, his expression suddenly turned ugly.
Normally, Grandma Li would hide away with her head down and a smile on her face, but today Grandma Li seemed not to have seen him, and walked forward with the bowl of noodles in hand.
Seeing this, Gao Zhuo's heart suddenly became angry: "I just thought of being attentive now, why did I go there earlier?"
As she spoke, Gao Zhuo reached out and wanted to knock over the bowl of noodles in her hand.
But when his hand was still an inch away from the bowl of noodles, Grandma Li easily dodged it. Seeing this, Gao Zhuo was stunned for a moment, and when he wanted to continue, Gao Tianfang couldn't stand it anymore. Grabbing his wrist: "Stop making trouble and go home."
"father!"
Gao Zhuo turned around with red eyes, but when he saw his father's eyes, his manic temper was finally suppressed.
Gao Tianfang patted his son's shoulder gently: "Go back, she doesn't owe us anything, and our family doesn't rely on women to support us."
When Gao Zhuo's temper got worse, he would commit murder and arson. He only obeyed his father's words. After hearing this, the anger in his heart dissipated. He nodded and pulled his wife back.
Xu Tong stood outside the ancestral hall and watched. When he saw this, he did not hand over the bamboo basket immediately. Now that Gao Zhuo was still angry, the bamboo basket would be useless to him.
So he followed the three of them and walked slowly back to the Gao family's house.
As soon as they entered the door, everyone was startled when they saw a table full of food.
Apparently Grandma Li had already made it before she left.
Gao Zhuo sat down angrily, holding the bowl and chopsticks in his arms and about to eat.
Gao Tianfang cast an apologetic look at Xu Tong.
"this is for you."
Xu Tong took out the letter from the basket and handed it to Gao Tianfang.
Seeing the envelope, Gao Tianfang hesitated for a moment, then took it and put it into his pocket.
As for the bronze medal in the bamboo basket, Xu Tong had no plans to give it to Gao Zhuo for the time being.
After everyone had eaten, Fengxia was busy cleaning up. She seemed to know that the family was not in a high mood today, so she changed her usual enthusiasm and went back to her room to rest early after dinner.
Gao Tianfang sat on the chair, holding the letter in his hand, hesitating whether to open the envelope.
"Boss, are you planning to leave??"
Gao Zhuo walked into the room and saw that Xu Tong had already started packing his things, so he couldn't help but stepped forward and asked.
"Yes, at twelve o'clock tonight, I will wait for Yang Zixuan's call. If he doesn't come after twelve o'clock, I will take the nearest plane and go straight to the northeast."
Yang Zixuan is not from the Northeast, but his business and his family are all in the Northeast.
If Yang Zixuan didn't call, he would go there according to the address on the file. If everything went well, he would pick up his sister and his nephew, and then set off back to L city.
If Yang Zixuan called, it would be easier to go straight to Feng Lailou in City L to settle accounts.
Gao Zhuo sat silently on the edge of the bed and lit a cigarette for himself. He hesitated for a long time before raising his head and asked: "Sir, do you think I am particularly ruthless and cold-hearted?"
Xu Tong looked at him sideways: "Cool???" Then his eyes gradually became playful: "What, your bloodline has awakened??"
"Uh... I mean..." The corner of Gao Zhuo's mouth twitched a few times. When he was about to explain, Xu Tong reached out and interrupted him to continue.
Then he sat on a chair and picked up a cigarette that he hadn't smoked for a long time. He didn't light it, but just held it between his fingertips.
"Once upon a time, I met a girl. I always liked to secretly cut her hair, pull out the valve core of her bicycle, and stick a piece of paper on her back."
When Gao Zhuo heard this, he laughed unconsciously: "Hey, I'm familiar with this. I've been doing this since elementary school."
Xu Tong nodded with a smile: "I thought I could use this method to get her attention. It wasn't until later that I realized that I didn't do this because I hated her, but I just hoped to find a way to get her attention." The way she focuses on it.”
Gao Zhuo nodded repeatedly on the side: "Yes, yes, that's what I thought. I regretted it when I thought about it later. If I had known earlier, I would have honestly been friends with her and played happily together. At that time, I'm just afraid that my classmates will laugh at me, but I also want to play with her..."
As he spoke, Gao Zhuo couldn't talk any more and suddenly raised his head and looked at Xu Tong: "Boss, are you trying to trick me?"
"It's so new. I still need to trick you?"
Xu Tong looked at him with disdain. Since he came to the Gao family, although he has never said a word about Grandma Li, from the perspective of a bystander, he can see it more clearly than anyone else.
Gao Zhuo, a silly man, longed to accept a relative like Grandma Li, but his instinctive resistance made him not know how to accept her.
So I used the simplest method, out of sight but out of mind.
But when this guy ate, he ate more deliciously than anyone else. He ate every meal in the bowl without leaving any part behind.
Perhaps only at this time can he find a balance point in his heart.
Perhaps Grandma Li seemed to have long seen the inner contradictions in her precious grandson, so she enjoyed it instead.
In short, a family relationship that is blood thicker than water cannot be broken off at the drop of a hat.
"Here you go, what the old lady left for you. I'm leaving. After you have taken care of things here and I have completed the promotion, let's meet again."
Xu Tong threw the basket to Gao Zhuo.
After throwing the bag in his hand into the prop book, he was about to leave.
When he reached the door, he looked back at Gao Zhuo, who was still in a daze: "Hey!"
"ah!"
Gao Zhuo raised his head.
"It's early to be filial. Your father has already gone out, and you are still struggling!"
Gao Zhuo was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly looked outside the door. Sure enough, the master sitting on the chair had disappeared, leaving only an opened envelope on the ground.
"I suck!!"
Upon seeing this, Gao Zhuo slapped the table, jumped up with a whoosh and ran out the door.
At this moment, he did not forget to wave to Xu Tong: "Boss, I won't send it to you. I'll contact you after I finish handling the matter here!!"
Looking at Gao Zhuo's running figure, Xu Tong grinned, closed the door, caught up with San Bozi passing by outside, and handed a brand new Mao Zedong card to the driver: "Train station..."
