Rebirth 1958: My Home is in Nanluoguxiang

When some people go out, others go home. After Chang Zhengyang learned that Dumb Zhang appeared in Yanjing, he went to a small courtyard in the suburbs that night.

"Have you found the Spirit Palace?"

"Found it, the Ghost Seal is the key to open the door!"

The room returned to calm. After a moment of contemplation, Chang Zhengyang said with emotion: "I knew it was like this. Now that you are back safely, you should take a good rest. Don't stay at home all the time. Go out more often and make more friends..."

Chang Zhengyang looked at the still calm Dumb Zhang and shook his head helplessly. He changed the subject and told Dumb Zhang about how he was recognized by Black Glasses and his cooperation with Zhang Dafoye and others.

"Although my last name is Chang, in the eyes of others, I am a member of the Zhang family, just like you. In fact, you don't have to be the head of the Zhang family. If you, the dumb Zhang, hide in the deep mountains and old forests, who can find you? Some things can't be solved by running away. Are you interested in rebuilding the Zhang family?"

"no need!"

Dumb Zhang lightly lit the cigarette butt. Chang Zhengyang didn't say anything when he saw this. He just mentioned the matter of rebuilding the Zhang family casually. Since Dumb Zhang, the patriarch, was unwilling to take the lead, then forget it.

Chang Zhengyang muttered for a while and then stood up to leave. When he reached the door, he suddenly asked, "Dumb Zhang, what is the meaning of your life?"

Although he had his back to Dumb Zhang, Chang Zhengyang could feel that Dumb Zhang's emotions were fluctuating greatly.

"What's the meaning of living?"

Dumb Zhang lowered his head in bewilderment and muttered to himself: "I want to find my past back..."

Chang Zhengyang turned around and looked at him: "What happens after you find it?"

Dumb Zhang was silent again, and after a long while he slowly spoke: "Protect the Ultimate!"

"Protect the Ultimate? Bullshit, this is clearly the Ghost Seal, or rather, it was forced upon you by the bastard who made the Ghost Seal, Dumb Zhang, aren't you curious about what the Ultimate is? Don't you want to trace the origin of Qilin blood..."

Chang Zhengyang shut his mouth because the mute Zhang actually hugged his head in pain and curled up on the ground.

"How could this be?"

Chang Zhengyang walked quickly forward, helped the mute Zhang up, then helped him onto the bed and covered him with a quilt.

Looking at the sleeping Dumb Zhang, Chang Zhengyang rubbed his eyebrows. He was really surprised that Dumb Zhang would have such a reaction.

This is really strange.

How could a great master who has integrated his Qi and blood and a harmonious spirit have such a big mental flaw?

Is the mental suggestion of the ghost seal really that powerful?

Chang Zhengyang was itching to take the Ghost Seal and try it out. He knew that the Ghost Seal was in the arms of Dumb Zhang, and that the other party always carried it with him.

"Forget it, let's talk about it after I take that step!"

Chang Zhengyang finally gave up this somewhat risky idea, gently closed the door, and left the courtyard.

After the first snow fell in winter, heavy snow followed one after another, and the northern land quickly turned into a white world.

In the blink of an eye, the year 63 has passed and the year 64 has arrived.

Today is New Year's Eve. The alleys are full of children playing with firecrackers. From time to time, you can hear adults cursing when they are hit by firecrackers, and children cheering as they scatter.

Tempting aroma wafts from every kitchen.

"Brother, where are you going?"

"I'm going to pick someone up, Xiaoyue. I'll leave the meatballs to you."

"Don't blame me if it gets fried!"

"It's okay. Let the third and fourth brothers eat the mushy ones."

Chang Zhengyang rode his bicycle quickly through the streets and alleys. Ten minutes later, he arrived at a small courtyard in the suburbs. He rushed into the house and saw Dumb Zhang sitting on a chair in front of the window sill basking in the sun.

At this moment he opened his eyes, his eyes full of confusion, because this was the first time Chang Zhengyang came here in broad daylight.

"Let's go to my house to celebrate the New Year."

Chang Zhengyang pulled up the dumb Zhang, and the other party followed him into the yard, at a loss.

"Get in the car, hurry up!"

Chang Zhengyang got on his bicycle, turned his head to look at the dumb Zhang standing there, and signaled him to get on the bike quickly.

"I have a car."

"Why didn't you tell me you had a bike earlier? Hurry up, get on the bike and follow me."

Dumb Zhang hesitated for a moment, then turned and went to the backyard, and soon pushed out a dusty bicycle.

"Oh my god, how long have you not ridden this bike? Why is it so dirty? Forget it, go to my house first, someone will help you wash the bike."

When Chang Zhengyang came back, the whole family ran over and surrounded Dumb Zhang.

Ms. Guo looked at the mute Zhang with shining eyes, then turned to Chang Zhengyang and asked, "Son, is this boy your friend? He's so handsome!"

In addition to her, the other two women in the Chang family, well, to be precise, one is a female college student and the other is a little girl, always kept their eyes on the face of the dumb Zhang.

Chang Baichuan was dumbfounded. He pulled Chang Zhengyang aside and asked in a low voice, "You, why did you pull the clan leader over here?"

"It's okay. No one can do anything to our family now. Don't worry, Dad."

After Chang Zhengyang comforted the old lady, he walked to Dumb Zhang and said to Ms. Guo, "Mom, his name is Zhang Qiling. He doesn't like to talk. You can just call him Dumb Zhang. He is alone in Yanjing. I will invite him to spend the New Year with us."

Ms. Guo raised her hand and patted Chang Zhengyang on the back, and said to the dumb Zhang Xiao: "You are so rude, how can you just give Brother Zhang a nickname? Brother Zhang, I'm sorry, Zhengyang didn't mean it, don't take it to heart."

The mute opened his lips and moved them twice, finally uttering two words: "It's okay!"

At this time, Zhuzhu ran into the kitchen and soon came out with a bowl of steaming fried meatballs. There were even a few lotus root dumplings in the bowl. She held it in front of the dumb Zhang.

"Brother, eat meatballs, they are delicious."

Dumb Zhang lowered his head, looking at the fragrant meatballs in front of him helplessly. After hesitating for a moment, he picked up a meatball, put it in his mouth, and chewed it gently.

"Is it delicious?"

"Ok!"

"And this lotus root dumpling is delicious."

Chang Zhengyang watched this scene with a smile on his face. He felt that he had done the right thing today.

"I'm going to fry the meatballs. Xiaoyue, go clean up the guest room."

"Okay, brother."

When Dumb Zhang came to his senses, he was already sitting on the edge of the bed covered with a thick cotton mattress. He looked around the spotless room and listened to the hustle and bustle outside. Gradually, his eyes were filled with smiles.

"It's time to have the New Year's Eve dinner!"

Under the bright light, the eight-immortal table was filled with dishes, including chicken, duck, fish, meat and eggs.

Chang Zhengyang raised his glass and said, "Today is a day of reunion. We have one more family member. No matter when or where, our family will never be separated. Cheers to our family!"

"cheers!"

Dumb Zhang silently raised his glass and drank the wine in it silently.
