our supernatural life

Wheat still failed to enter Zhang's mansion in the end.He only had time to walk to the bottom of a majestic white stone archway, and from a distance, he could see the rolling gray-black roof ridges on half of the hillside under the shade of green trees.Shao Jing said that it was the Zhang family mansion, where several relatives and hundreds of people lived, occupying half of the hillside.Mai Mai was about to ask him if he had gotten rich, when he saw a few people walking down the stone steps up the mountain, Shao Jing called them four uncles, five uncles and uncle.

Mai Mai looked at Zhang's Fifth Uncle curiously.He still remembered that at Dazhu Mountain, it was the fifth uncle who used the sound of the flute to save the undead, and the ethereal and warm music seemed to still reverberate in his ears.The fifth uncle of the Zhang family is just like his music, elegant and gentle, his appearance is five points similar to Shao Jing, but with a smile on his face, he looks very comfortable.But the fourth uncle was different.Mai Mai also recognized him, but he once went to Binhai and quarreled with Shao Jing.Sure enough, when he opened his mouth, he was still very rude: "Jingcun, it's rare that you still know to come back. Grandpa wants to see you."

Shao Jing said flatly: "This is my home, of course I want to come back. Just in time, I also really want to see Grandpa."

Fourth Uncle Zhang blocked it with his hand: "Wait a minute, this person can't go up the mountain."

Shao Jing's face darkened immediately: "Why not?" Even a blind man could tell that his elders were here for Mai.

The fourth uncle snorted: "Who is this person? Can ordinary friends be brought into the old house?"

"This is no ordinary friend. He is my lover, grandpa's granddaughter-in-law."

Mai Mai was stunned by the word granddaughter-in-law, and those uncles were worse than him. The fourth uncle was stunned for half a minute before shouting: "What kind of granddaughter-in-law is this! Are you out of your mind? You're talking nonsense What!"

Shao Jing refused to give an inch: "Fourth Uncle, I am very clear-headed. This is my lover, and no one can change it!"

The fourth uncle was panting with anger, raised his hand and pointed at Shao Jing's nose, his fingers trembling a little: "Don't even try to take him up the mountain! Your uncle and I, unless you beat us both!"

Seeing that Shao Jing really rolled up his sleeves, Mai Mai was startled, and quickly grabbed him: "What are you doing?"

Shao Jing pushed him back: "Stay farther away, don't hurt you."

"I said, what are you doing!" Seeing that Uncle Zhang and Uncle Zhang also put on a fight, both of them were wearing dark military uniforms, and they really had a fight when they raised their hands, "Are you really fighting?"

Shao Jing flicked his coat: "It may not be impossible for me to rush through."

Mai Mai held him tight: "No! It's one thing whether you can rush over or not—that's your uncle and uncle, you can't do anything with your elders!"

Shao Jing said angrily: "Didn't you hear? If you can't get through, don't even think about entering the old house!"

Mai Mai forcefully pulled him back: "What are you impulsive about, if you can't get in, you can't get in. Could it be that I'm here to get into your old house?"

Shao Jing was slightly taken aback, and calmed down a bit: "This is my grandfather's attitude. If you are not allowed to enter the old house, you are not accepted."

"I understand this, but isn't this normal? Didn't we expect this to happen before we came? If you fight with your elders again because of me, won't things become more tense? At that time, your family members will not only They will think that I am a sugar daddy, and they will regard me as a male vixen who will bring disaster to the country and the people."

Although Shao Jing was full of worries and anger, he couldn't help laughing, and stroked Mai Mai's soft hair: "You are the only vixen? A real vixen will die of anger. You don't have the ability to bring disaster to the country and the people."

"Go!" Mai Mai lightly kicked him, "Go and have a good talk with your grandfather, I'll go to a hotel at worst. No matter how powerful your family is, you can't engage in assassination, right? I'll wait for you in the hotel."

Shao Jing thought that assassination is impossible, but it is possible to deal with you in other ways, so he hesitated for a while.The fifth uncle of the Zhang family suddenly said, "Jingcun."

The relationship between Shao Jing and his fifth uncle Zhang Xuezheng is the best, because the fifth uncle has a gentle personality and never pressures him with any responsibility, so he learns the things taught by the fifth uncle the fastest.Although limited by talent—Shao ​​Jing has no musical talent—he couldn't learn Zhang Xuezheng's things carefully, but the relationship between uncle and nephew is very close.So when Zhang Xuezheng opened his mouth, Shao Jing's attitude softened immediately: "Uncle Wu?"

"Leave it to me." Zhang Xuezheng took two steps forward and said gently, "Uncle Wu promises that no one will do anything to the children."

Little friend...Mai Mai wants to distort it a bit, that's what he calls him...Although he is indeed younger than this fifth uncle...Forget it, from the perspective of the fifth uncle of the Zhang family, it may be difficult to call him.

Shao Jing was still hesitating, Zhang Xuezheng sighed: "You don't even believe Uncle Wu? Or, Uncle Wu swears?"

"No need." Shao Jing exhaled, "Wheat will be handed over to Uncle Wu, please take good care of Uncle Wu, Jing Cun is grateful to you for the rest of his life."

This was a bit harsh, and the expression on Uncle Zhang's face was so distorted that it was horrible to look at. Finally, he could hold back at this time, but he snorted heavily: "Let's go then, Grandpa is waiting for you."

Shao Jing shook Mai Mai's hand silently: "Wait for me."

Mai Mai watched him follow Uncle Zhang's family up the stone steps, and his figure slowly disappeared into the shadow of the tree. He suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, but looking at the gentle Fifth Uncle Zhang's family, he really couldn't believe this man will hurt him.Zhang Xuezheng seemed to see his uneasiness, and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, our Zhang family is not a gangster, Jingcun's worries are a bit overdone."

Mai Mai endured it, and said, "I've heard you playing super-duty tunes."

"Oh?" Zhang Xuezheng thought for a while, "Yes, you are the kid who fought with the mandrill."

"Yes. When I heard your tune, I felt very warm. I can still remember that tune now."

Zhang Xuezheng walked slowly ahead.He was wearing a white silk Tang suit, and his gestures and gestures had an elegant feeling, which was especially suitable among the green mountains and green waters. "Do you have something to say later? Why don't you say it?"

Mai Mai looked at him for a while: "But seeing you now, I think you are different from what I imagined."

Zhang Xuezheng smiled: "What kind of person do you think I should be?"

Mai Mai didn't answer immediately, and said after a while: "Maybe because I'm just an ordinary person, so I can't understand the thinking of the so-called aristocratic family."

Zhang Xuezheng's smile gradually subsided, and he nodded lightly: "That's right, Jingcun was born with responsibilities, and he can't let his temper do it."

"Then have you ever thought about how he feels?"

Zhang Xuezheng was silent for a moment, then smiled softly: "Everyone comes here like this. However, you can go and talk to Jingcun's grandfather about these things."

"His grandpa—" Mai Mai suddenly understood, "Shao Jing can't see his grandpa at all when he goes up the mountain, right?"

"It's not that I can't see it, it's that I can't see it now." Zhang Xuezheng sighed slightly.

Mai Mai suddenly became angry: "You lied to him! You are taking me to see his grandpa right now?"

"Yes." Zhang Xuezheng stopped and turned to look at Maimai, "You can tell Jingcun's grandfather all your thoughts, but there are some words that he has heard too much over the years. I hope you have better The reason, otherwise, you will not be able to convince the old man."

"I've heard too much over the years..." Xiaomai thought about it, and said hesitantly, "That is to say, many people..." were all torn apart like this?He always felt that Zhang Xuezheng seemed to be pointing him to something.

Zhang Xuezheng didn't answer, just looked into the distance, and after a while, he said in a voice so low that the wheat could barely hear: "Who didn't come here like this..." Immediately, he quickened his pace.

The place where Zhang Xuezheng took Mai was actually not far from here. It was a small building with a small corridor and garden. Mai saw that the plaque on the lintel read: Luming Abode.

Zhang Shengyi was waiting for Mai in the Luming Abode.His hair was already snow-white, but his face was rosy and shiny. He was wearing a maroon Chinese-style jacket, and he folded his hands on the handle of the dragon head crutch, watching the wheat coming in from the door.

Mai took a deep breath before stepping through the door.Although Zhang Shengyi is old, his eyes don't look old at all. His eyes are sharp and shrewd, and he examines people like dissecting them with a scalpel.But he couldn't back down, Shao Jing had done everything he could for him, and he had always stood in the way, now, it was his turn.

There was no one else in the room. After Zhang Xuezheng brought Mai Mai in, he bowed and retreated. Before leaving, he took a look at Mai Mai with gentle and encouraging eyes.

The room was quiet for a few seconds, Mai Mai broke the silence first, and bowed: "Grandpa Zhang, hello."

There was no change in Zhang Shengyi's expression: "You can call me Mr. Zhang."

"I'm named after Jingcun's generation." Mai Mai almost habitually called Shao Jing, but fortunately he changed his name at the last second.

Zhang Shengyi smiled inexplicably, and nodded to the side: "Sit."

Mai Mai sat down, feeling that Zhang Shengyi's eyes were still fixed on him, and unconsciously straightened his body.Zhang Shengyi smiled again: "Aren't you tired?"

Mai Mai wasn't sure what he was asking, so she answered cautiously: "It's okay."

Zhang Shengyi looked at him for a while: "There is a question, Jingquan asked you before, now, I have to ask again, what do you want to leave Jingcun?"

Mai Mai straightened her waist again: "Yes, Zhang Jingquan asked this question before, I can answer you again, this sentence doesn't mean anything to me."

Zhang Shengyi had a half-smile: "Or let me go to Jingcun?"

Mai Mai shook her head: "No. Now the answer has changed a bit. Even if you ask Jing Cun, there will be no answer, because I will not leave him."

"Why? Because he is willing to share half of your life with you?"

A ball of anger suddenly surged up in Mai Mai's chest, and he suppressed it again: "That's right, he wants to divide my life in half."

Zhang Shengyi's gaze was suddenly as cold as a knife: "Do you think I will agree?"

Mai Mai puffed up her chest and faced him: "Of course you have the right not to agree."

Zhang Shengyi sneered: "Then why are you here? Do you think Jingcun can convince me?"

"No, I just promised him to give it a try. We have worked hard for a long time, and we must do this last step. Whether we succeed or not, we will have no regrets."

Zhang Shengyi paused, and then said: "Then you have worked hard now, so you don't have any regrets. Let's go."

Mai Mai sat still: "I will wait for him."

Zhang Shengyi raised his eyebrows: "Jingcun will never see you again."

Mai Mai stood up: "What are you doing? You locked him up? This is illegal!"

Zhang Shengyi said flatly, "You can go to the police."

Mai Mai sneered: "Call the police? Of course your Zhang family is not afraid of the police. Back then you were able to force Shao Jing's mother to marry into your family, so it's nothing unusual to lock him up now." Words came out.Zhang Shengyi's expression changed immediately: "What did you call him!"

"Shao Jing!" Mai Mai also raised his voice, "He has been using this name outside, have you ever wondered why?"

Zhang Shengyi was also irritated by him, and no one had ever dared to talk to him like this: "He is the eldest son of the Zhang family, and he is born with his responsibilities!"

Mai Mai confronted each other: "Responsibility, responsibility, what else do you know besides responsibility? Do you know what is affection? Do you know what is family affection? I'm afraid you don't know either. Don't talk about the eldest son and responsibility. You were responsible to Shao Jing and his mother back then. Responsibility? You only shouted that Shao Jing should be responsible, what kind of responsibility do you have for him? Did you say that you were born with responsibility, that he asked to be reborn in your family? When you give birth to a child, you don’t talk about your responsibility to the child first. , but ask the children to fulfill some responsibilities first, have you figured out which is the basic and which is the last?" He had never spoken so harshly before, and he had made up his mind to answer no matter what Zhang Shengyi said, but when they heard Shao Jing lied to go up the mountain and lock him up, but the fire couldn't be suppressed.

Zhang Shengyi was so angry that he was so angry that he slammed his crutches on the ground: "You are so bold!"

Mai Mai sneered: "No one has talked to you like that, right? You have been the Patriarch of the Zhang family for too long, so long that no one has even spoken the truth, right?"

Zhang Shengyi was staring at him as if he was going to hit him with a cane, but he was a little discouraged after hearing this sentence, and said coldly: "What do you know! What is the identity of the Zhang family? If everyone does what they want, the Zhang family's Taoism Who will inherit it? If the children of all the families are like him, who will handle these unconventional events in the world? He can not take responsibility for the Zhang family, but he can't waste his talent! A natural talent is to serve the world, and Not to be wasted!"

Mai Mai was choked by Zhang Shengyi's last words, and after thinking for a while, she said: "Yes, Shao Jing was wrong in this matter before, but he had a reason. Besides, he has changed now. If you don't believe this, you can go to Ask Dongfang Liang and Zhou Qi, oh, you can also ask the fourth master of the Zhong family. Shao Jing is working hard, he has learned a lot, and he has not wasted his talent."

Zhang Shengyi snorted, and leaned back on the chair back: "I know, he finally got the hang of it. Both Dongfang Liang and Zhou Qi have come to be lobbyists, saying that it's all thanks to you."

Mai Mai thought for a while: "I don't dare to say whether he deserves credit or not. As long as Shao Jing can figure it out, he will actually work very hard."

Zhang Shengyi said lightly: "Why be too modest. When it comes to this point, the Zhang family should really thank you. The education of more than 20 years is not worth a word from you, hmph..."

Hearing this, Mai Mai felt wrong again: "What do you mean you can't stand up to me? Shao Jing and I have also slowly established a relationship. We face everything together, and no one will point fingers at anyone else." foot--"

Zhang Shengyi waved him impatiently and interrupted him: "Okay, I don't have time to listen to what you say. Anyway, Jing Cun can figure it out thanks to you, so we Zhang family can repay you a little bit about your continuation of life." .”

Mai Mai looked at him suspiciously: "Really? The Zhang family will help me survive?"

Zhang Shengyi sneered: "I know all about Jing Chui's madness on Mount Wutai. If he doesn't help you, why won't he leave the Zhang family instead?"

"But you just said that it was impossible to agree to share his life with me."

Zhang Shengyi sneered: "Share his life? You really dare to say it. Since you say you love him, you still want to share his life?"

Mai Mai said solemnly: "At first, I always disagreed. I also thought that since I love him, I hope he will live well. But after Mount Wutai, I found that others can't just make decisions about whether a person lives well or not." , whether the shoes are suitable or not, only the feet know. If I die, Shao Jing may never be happy, is that good for him? You may think it is immoral for me to share his life, but it doesn't matter, Shao Jing even for me Life can be divided, what else can I not bear? What others like to say, I just want him to be happy."

Zhang Shengyi laughed loudly: "Really? But, even if he wants to be named Shao, he is still a descendant of the Zhang family. He wants to stand with the descendants of the Zhang family..." He squinted at Mai Mai, "What qualifications do you have? ?”

Wheat choked.Speaking of it, he really has no qualifications, no matter from the perspective of Tianshixing or from the perspective of the world.

"I... really don't have any qualifications in your opinion, but as long as Shao Jing thinks I am qualified, that's fine."

"Absurd..." Zhang Shengyi paused the crutches in his hand, "I don't want to waste time talking about such silly things with you. Let's be honest, the Zhang family absolutely does not allow life-changing, I can only point it out to you One way, if you can seize this opportunity yourself, I will not care about you anymore."

"You mean, if I can prolong my life by myself, you will agree with me and Shao Jing?"

"That's what it means." Zhang Shengyi paused on his crutch again, "Don't interrupt me, you are very unruly! Listen, how many ways do you know to prolong your life?"

Mai Mai thought for a while: "Exchanging life, buying life, nourishing, nourishing yin?" He heard Zhong Lecen say a few words about nourishing yin, but he didn't understand the mystery of it. He only knew that it was an immoral thing that harmed others and benefited himself.

"You know a lot..." Zhang Shengyi narrowed his eyes slightly, "But these are all things that benefit oneself at the expense of others, and I won't point out these ways to you."

"Then what else can I do?" Maimai thought, of course I still know something, such as Zhulong's sun eyes, but the sun eyes are gone, so it's impossible for the Zhang family to come up with the same thing again, right?

Zhang Shengyi half-closed his eyes, probably because the quarrel with Mai Mai was really exhausting: "Do you know Gu?"

Mai Mai was startled, then suddenly remembered Gu Dao, and shivered involuntarily: "I heard..."

"Well—Gu art can prolong life, and it doesn't need to take away other people's life span."

Mai Mai thought of those spiders and scorpions in the Gu Dao, and couldn't help but feel hairy: "Why, how to prolong life? It can't be, eat those bugs, right?" If you let him eat them, you might as well die.

Zhang Shengyi smiled: "The Gu art is mysterious and profound, and outsiders can't see its back. Only the Gu maker knows how to prolong life. The Zhang family has a lot of friends. I have a friend who knows Gu. I can recommend you now." Go, but whether you can let him help you depends on your own ability."

Mai Mai was stunned for a while: "Can I call Shao Jing?"

"Yes." Zhang Shengyi closed his eyes and rested his mind, and ignored him.

Mai Mai called Shao Jing, but an unfamiliar voice answered the phone, asking him to wait a while.After three or four minutes, Mai Mai heard Shao Jing shouting: "Mai Mai! Don't listen to them, wait for me, I will definitely go out and find you!"

"Shao Jing——" Mai Mai could imagine his furious appearance, "Listen to me, your grandfather is willing to give me a chance, he recommended me to find someone who understands Gu, if I succeed, I can prolong my life. "

Shao Jing became quiet, and after a while he asked suspiciously: "Really? Then I'll go with you."

Mai Mai sighed: "This won't work." If it works, Zhang Shengyi still needs to trick Shao Jing into going up the mountain and lock him up?

"I think your grandpa means to let me go by myself. If I can successfully extend my life, I'm probably eligible to be with you."

"Nonsense!" Shao Jing became angry again, "What qualifications! Don't listen to him!"

"However, I think your grandfather's words are quite right. To stand with you, I must be qualified. You have always stood at the front and taken care of everything. This time, you have to rely on I am myself. Otherwise... as long as time drags on..."

Shao Jing stopped talking.Indeed, time is their greatest enemy, as long as it drags on for a few more months, Zhang Shengyi doesn't have to do anything, and they are hopeless forever.

"So I have to go." Mai Mai softly kissed the phone, "I will be back, this time, you wait for me."
