Chapter 22 An unexpected visitor

It’s a cold spring this year. It’s almost March, and there’s heavy snowfall that has never fallen in winter.

The man seemed to have been walking in the snow for a long time. He was wrapped in a ball of snowflakes and carried a cold wind into the door of the bar. The coldness and the sense of intrusion from strangers made everyone in the bar nervous. He looked towards the door.

He was wearing a thick cotton coat, which looked cold and old-fashioned. The hood of the cotton coat covered his head, and he wore a large woolen scarf, covering most of his face. The person’s face couldn’t be seen clearly, only a pair of bright eyes were exposed.

Somehow, Ruan Zhan suddenly felt that the person in front of him was very familiar. It seemed that he was the person he saw in the hallucination given to him by his father. The person who had a **** spell carved on the skin of his chest and gave it to his father The person with the crystal knife, the person that his father deliberately kept from him!

“Xiao Xia, come here.” Ruan Zhan reacted the fastest and took a few steps forward, protecting Xiao Xia who was looking at the door in surprise.

“Who are you?”

Ruan Zhan asked rudely and with a bit of hostility, but before the man could answer, Bao Datong’s surprised voice sounded from behind: “Dad!”

Is it Uncle Bao?

Ruan Zhan was stunned, Wan Li closed the document with a snap, and Bao Datong stepped forward with a mixture of joy and reluctance: “Why are you here? Aren’t you going to travel around?” ”

“Sure enough, he is my son. You can recognize him dressed like this.” Uncle Bao answered the question incorrectly.

“I can recognize you even if you make rice dumplings.” Bao Datong helped his father take off his scarf, take off his cotton coat, and even replaced his father’s soaked shoes with his own sneakers. Ruan Only then did Zhan and Wanli realize that the old man in front of them was Uncle Bao.

“You haven’t answered me yet, what are you doing here?”

“Is this girl Ah Zhan’s wife? She protects her like a treasure and doesn’t let me see her.” Uncle Bao walked slowly to the center of the bar, ignoring his son’s question for the second time, and moved up and down He looked at Xiaoxia, who was greeting him with a smile, “Well, with dazzling eyebrows and black and white eyes, he must be a gentle, kind, generous and reasonable child. Ah Zhan, you have a vision.”

“Dad, what are you doing here?” Bao Datong, who was barefoot, followed Uncle Bao unwillingly and continued to ask.

“I’m wandering around, can’t I swim here?” Uncle Bao didn’t even look back, busy accepting Wan Li’s greetings, and then took out a string of hemp ropes from his arms, made of unknown bones. He handed the weird chain to Xiao Xia, “Uncle is a country bumpkin and doesn’t have any good stuff. I made this gadget myself. You can wear it and play with it.”

Xiao Xia took it respectfully and put it on her neck solemnly. She felt that every bone bead on the chain was a strange word. She looked at it from left to right and couldn’t put it down. Uncle Bao was very happy to see that she liked it.

“Azhan, why don’t you ask?”

“Are you him?” Ruan Zhan asked confusedly, but he believed that Uncle Bao understood what he was talking about.

“This kind of thing should be done by my Datong family, how could it be you?” Uncle Bao said it more confusingly than Ruan Zhan.

Bao Datong was anxious, “I said, can you please stop playing riddles? There are many people here who are confused, at least you should be careful about the impact.”

“I mean -” Uncle Bao looked at Ruan Zhan, but explained to his son: “It’s your way to do things so recklessly and impatiently and ask questions to others. Ah Zhan has always been a steady and calm person. A child is a rare wise general who always makes plans before taking action when encountering problems. He should not get straight to the point.”

“Are you?” Ruan Zhan asked again.

“What if I am a bad person? By asking this, aren’t you giving away your secrets?”

“Oh, I’m going crazy!” Bao Datong yelled and fell down on his chair, “What are you talking about? What is it? What happened?”

“How can Uncle Bao be a bad person?” Wan Li interjected.

“You kids have regressed.” Uncle Bao sighed, “You used to be such a smart and clever kid, and now you are doing the work of studying people’s hearts. Why are you going back as you grow older?” He pointed at Wanli, “Everyone in this world may be a good person or a bad person. Good and evil are not clearly divided. Sometimes what you see with your own eyes is completely different from the actual facts.”

“But people also have beliefs, and beliefs are more real than anything else, allowing people to distinguish authenticity from falsehoods.” Wan Li said, “I know Uncle Bao is a good person, and I firmly believe this.”

“Well said.” Uncle Bao smiled and nodded at Wan Li, then pointed at Ruan Zhan, “This kid has no faith, but it’s not his fault, because no one has ever given him anything to support his faith. Something.”

“It’s not over yet, we’ve even begun to greet each other.” Bao Datong cried out again, “I promised you that if you don’t speak human language that I can understand, if I cause any trouble in the future , can’t blame me!”

“Let’s go upstairs and talk. Uncle Bao looks cold and hungry!” Xiao Xia didn’t understand the conversation between the three people, but she couldn’t get a word in. At this moment, she quickly found every opportunity to add, ” Bao Datong, please take Uncle Bao upstairs to take a hot bath. I’ll prepare some hot soup right away.” She pushed Bao Datong, and then said to the two guys who had been watching the show: “You two, help me get in.” Then we closed the shop. The snow is too heavy and there won’t be any customers. You guys will sleep here and go back to school when the snow melts tomorrow.”

She unknowingly took on the style of a hostess and successfully made all six men in the bar, old and young, disperse and do as she asked.

She heard Uncle Bao praising her behind her back for being “organized and suitable for living in IKEA.” She was so happy that she carefully prepared hot food for the old man and brought it upstairs.

“If you want to ask questions, let’s exchange information first.” Uncle Bao took a hot bath and ate something, his face was radiant, and he was more energetic than when he first walked in.

When he first stepped into the door of “Yeguiren”, the look in his eyes made people think that he was a wise elder. But when he takes off his coat and appears in front of others, the light in his eyes will be covered by his deliberate disguise. Most people will only notice his appearance and think that the person standing in front of them is just a simple and honest man. Old farmer. Only those who really know him know how chic and unrestrained his immortal style is, which is far inferior to Bao Datong.

However, his personality is very likable, serious and humorous. Bao Datong is somewhat like his father in this regard. Even the two men discuss issues in the same way. They have not told others about important events. Ask for an exchange of information first.

Ruan Zhan glanced at Xiao Xia, and after receiving her silent support, he decided to tell what he had told Xiao Xia. He originally didn’t want to involve his friends in this matter, but Uncle Bao’s sudden appearance was so strange that he had to say it now. Compared with him, Xiaoxia was many times weaker in strength. There was simply a huge gap between heaven and earth. However, in this short time together, he had become accustomed to receiving psychological encouragement from her.

He slowly recounted these things one by one, feeling completely calm. However, when Wan Li and Bao Datong heard these words, they were particularly shocked. After hearing these words, they didn’t know what to do.

“Uncle Bao, if you mean this by exchanging information, I have already said it all. Now it is your turn to answer me, are you that person?”

“You’re impatient again, but it’s no wonder you. After all, the nature of father and son cannot be controlled by humans.” Uncle Bao nodded, “Yes, the person whose face you can’t see in your father’s hallucination is me, that crystal knife I also gave it back to him. He was hinting to you about the danger of his attack and the importance of the crystal knife, but because he didn’t want you to come to me, he didn’t let me show up. At this point, you and your son It’s exactly the same. I want to handle everything myself and don’t want to hurt my friends.”

Ruan Zhan suddenly realized this and felt a huge weight drop in his heart.

He knew that sooner or later he would have to confront his father, so he was very concerned about any clues his father had left for him. The mysterious man had always worried him, for fear that he was an unpredictable third force. Now that we know that person is Uncle Bao, there is nothing to worry about.

“You must be the one who helped my father out of the coffin.” He asked again and received the same affirmative answer. In fact, it was obvious. He had estimated that that person was a person with profound magical power, but among the people he knew, who else could match his father’s power?

“But what bad thing did Uncle Ruan do to get himself into such a situation and to take A Zhan’s life?” Bao Datong turned to look at Ruan Zhan: “Don’t be unhappy after I told you. I think my uncle is really selfish. He did evil things himself, but let his son bear the responsibility. The terrible thing is that he actually came up with the idea of ​​using his own flesh and blood to make living tools to help him escape. This – it’s too perverted.”

Ruan Zhan said nothing. Although he didn’t like Bao Datong talking about his father like this, it was a fact and he had no way to refute it. Yes, is he still a father? Why do I love him so much, but he doesn’t love me? Is he really that cold-blooded?

Pa–

A crisp sound startled the four silent young people, and then Bao Datong complained, “Dad, why did you hit me!” He stroked the back of his neck, and it hurt. Inhaling, he said aggrievedly: “If you keep exerting such force, I will get a concussion!” Then he looked at the other three people as if asking for help, “Look, this is the kind of life I live. This old man is usually like this. He treats me like a sheep, and he still attacks me at any time!”

The three looked at all this in astonishment, none of them knew what to say.

“I hit you because you talked nonsense. Are you so sure that your Uncle Ruan is a bad person?” Uncle Bao seemed really angry. The amiable look he had just now disappeared instantly and turned into the look of a stern elder. “Do you three think so too?”

No one said anything, but doubts grew in my heart. What does Uncle Bao mean by saying this? Could it be that Ruan’s father also had his own reasons, just like Ruan Zhan, who became what he is today because of unavoidable reasons, and forced himself and his son to reach this stage? !

“I can’t blame you for thinking this way, but if I want to hear it, I can’t let you be kept in the dark and confused.” Uncle Bao stood up, moved a chair and sat at the door, waving his hand. He created a protective barrier and asked the four juniors to sit in a row on the bed. “Now I will tell you the causes and consequences of this matter. God originally asked me to swear not to tell it because he was afraid that Azhan would know about it. I couldn’t do anything to him, so I endured it for more than thirty years. Today he forced himself into a desperate situation, so I have to say it. I didn’t know he went to Tietou Mountain. Ah Zhan, you know how much you have to endure when you let go of the evil spirit. Big pain? So many things, so many evils, he shouldn’t bear it alone. Besides, I have always held out hope for a safe solution to this matter, and have been looking for a good way. Although I haven’t found it yet, but We cannot give up our efforts. God has said that only a miracle can save Azhan’s life, and I want you to understand that miracles will not come, either a miracle will be created or there will be no miracle!”

Ruan Zhan was silent, but his body was trembling slightly. From what Uncle Bao said, his father had great difficulties. He understood that he couldn’t explain how uncomfortable it was, and he was willing to believe that his father did not treat him this way on purpose. This proved that his existence was at least not meaningless.

Xiao Xia held his hand tightly and said to Uncle Bao: “No matter what, it was wrong for him to let A Zhan be born like this. No one can use others as tools, not even his father.”

“Xiao Xia——” Wan Li stopped.

“That’s what I think, and no one is allowed to say it.” Xiao Xia pouted and muttered. It was about her sweetheart, and she would blame anyone who hurt Ruan Zhan, not to mention that she had been holding these words in her heart for a long time, and she would not express her displeasure to Uncle Bao.

“Xiao Xia is right.” Uncle Bao did not criticize her. “God is worthy of all the people in the world, and the only one I am sorry for is Azhan. But Azhan is his son, and there is nothing wrong with his son helping me solve the problem. The so-called father’s debt is repaid by his son. I know that young people today value independence of personality, but these deep-rooted concepts are not completely wrong. Have you heard of this sentence? A great lover has no love. A person wants to save the world, If you have great love in your heart, you will naturally be cruel to the people around you. This is the fact. Azhan, I hope you can understand, and God’s will is not good at this point. He cannot be without love, he loves you very much. . But, he has no other way. Azhan, are you willing to forgive him and help him?”

Ruan Zhan nodded solemnly, “If I didn’t want to help him, I wouldn’t be so embarrassed, because I have to choose between him and Xiaoxia. Forgive him? I don’t know if I can do it.”

Uncle Bao listened to his honest expression and was silent for a while. He nodded after a long time and said: “You are such a good boy. If other people are treated like this since childhood, even if they don’t become evil people, they will not be able to bear it. Yes, it’s hard for you to still be so sober.”

“But is there really no other way?” Wan Li asked.

Uncle Bao shook his head, his face full of frustration, “Over the years, I have traveled to too many places, trying to find a spiritual treasure place that can control the bad energy in his body. I have visited many secret Taoist descendants. I wanted to work out a method of restraint, but – alas, I couldn’t help at all, and I was even worse than him. At least he found Tietou Mountain.”

“In order to help Uncle Ruan, you are often away from home and leave me alone?” Bao Datong asked, “Then I forgive you, because you are trying to help your only friend. If it were me, I would do the same. Do that.”

Uncle Bao was quite pleased to hear what his son said. Why doesn’t he understand what he owes his son, and why doesn’t his heart hurt? People who have never been a father will not understand this feeling.
