"Dad, where have you been all these years? Mom always thought that something happened to you...Since you are fine, why didn't you come back?" The more Mai Mai asked, the heavier her heart sank.Just now when he first saw his father, he was a little confused. He was only surprised, but also happy. He lost his analytical ability. Now that he was all the way home, his mind cleared up a little, and he began to think of many things.For example, since the father is not dead, why not come back to find the mother and grandma?Also, why didn't he show up when grandma died?Or is it because he appeared that he took the Black Tie Wu Jin Dao?

Shi Jiping laughed awkwardly, licked his lips, and looked a little nervous: "Well, Brother Chun... Dad, Dad also has some difficulties, ah? At that time, that, that, because, because Dad did something wrong, you Grandma thought Dad took you, took you--how have you been doing these past few years?"

Mai Mai nodded: "Not bad."

Shi Jiping scratched his head, took a sneak peek at Shao Jing, and then turned his gaze back to Mai Mai: "This one, is your friend?" He was a little nervous, because Shao Jing looked at him with unfriendly eyes, like a knife. Scrape up and down, as if to scrape off his flesh and look at his bones.

Mai Mai nodded: "Dad, why didn't you come back?" Shi Jiping was perfunctory, he could see it.Even if there are difficulties, now that everyone is back, what can't be said about the difficulties?Unless it was—he couldn't tell.

"I... this..." Shi Jiping babbled for a while, then suddenly asked, "Brother Chun, are you over 25 yet?"

Wheat froze for a moment.He celebrated his 25th birthday when he was in the Gu Dao. Later, he escaped from the stone room with many scars. He was poisoned and had a high fever and was almost burned to death. Looking at him, it took more than a week to escape from danger and return to Binhai, completely forgetting that he had already passed his 25th birthday.After returning, Zhou Qi was injured again, and the jade that imprisoned Qiongqi was taken away, so that Shao Jing also forgot to celebrate his birthday.

"I... just had my birthday last month."

Shi Jiping's eyes lit up: "So you've passed 25? That's great!"

It was strange to say this, Shao Jing frowned: "Mr. Shi, what do you mean?"

Shi Jiping realized that he had slipped his tongue, and quickly shook his hand: "It's nothing, it's nothing, I mean, I mean Brother Chun is already this old, that's great."

This kind of concealment can't fool Shao Jing, his eyebrows raised slightly: "Mr. Shi, I hope you tell the truth!" If it wasn't for Mai Mai's father, he would have grabbed him by the collar.

Shi Jiping felt that the young man was too sharp, so he sat down under Shao Jing's staring eyes, sweating a little on his back, and said with a dry smile, "I'm telling the truth. Brother Chun, your friend is so strange... Then what, How about we father and son talking alone?"

Shao Jing snorted, "I'm afraid it won't work."

Shi Jiping was also a little annoyed: "Why can't I talk to my son?"

Shao Jing put his arms around Mai Mai without hesitation: "Mr. Shi hasn't seen Mai Mai in 20 years, right? If you really miss your son, why haven't you come back for so many years?"

Shi Jiping said displeasedly: "I just said, I have difficulties."

"Is there any difficulty Mr. Shi can say, since they are father and son, what can't be said?"

Shi Jiping stood up angrily: "Brother Chun, what kind of friend are you, why are you so impolite!"

Just as Mai Mai was about to smooth things over, Shao Jing stood up abruptly.He was half a head taller than Shi Jiyuan, and he was very close. He slightly lowered his head and looked down at Shi Jiyuan, with a fierce expression on his face: "Whether I am polite or not, I will talk about it later. Mr. Shi, why don't you tell us your difficulties first? It's because you lost it." Do you feel guilty about the lifespan of wheat?"

Shi Jiping was startled: "You--" Although he didn't say "how do you know", the expression on his face already fully explained the problem.Shao Jing stared at him: "What's the matter with Mai Mai's lifespan? How could the palm prints on his hands disappear for no reason?"

Shi Jiping stammered: "This, this is me too, I was also at that time—this was an accident, I didn't think it through..."

Mai Mai gently tugged on Shao Jing: "Don't talk like that, he is my father."

Shao Jing had never had a good impression of creatures like "Father", but since Mai Mai had spoken, he couldn't be so aggressive, so he sat down with a snort, "Mr. Shi, I want to find a sequel for Mai Mai." If you can tell me about the situation at that time in detail, it will be easier for me to find a solution."

Shi Jiping was a little dazed when he heard this, and couldn't help but say, "But brother Chun should be fine after 25."

Shao Jing's eyes sharpened: "What? Who said he'll be fine after 25?"

Shi Jiping realized that he had said something wrong again, and now it was impossible to swallow it back. Shao Jing almost stood up again: "Who said it? How do you know that he will be fine after 25?"

Shi Jiping kept his mouth shut and didn't know what to say.Mai Mai held down Shao Jing, who was about to run away, and said softly, "Father, what did you mean just now? Why do you say that I will be fine after I pass 25? Does it mean that I might not live to be 25?"

Shi Jiping grabbed his hair desperately, making a mess of the waxed hair, and after a long time he muttered: "Actually, you are fine now, the person said at that time, as long as you wear that chain for 25--" he said Only then did I remember to ask, "Brother Chun, where is the bracelet that Dad gave you?"

"lost."

"Lost it?" Shi Jiping was stunned for a moment, "Why did you lose it? Isn't it impossible to take it off?"

This word was missed again.Mai Mai took a breath: "Dad, how do you know that I can't take off that bracelet?" Indeed, the bracelet has always been tightly attached to the wrist, not loose or tight, but it just can't be taken off.Wheat studied it many times when he was a child, but he couldn't find where the interface was.

Shi Jiping didn't dare to look at him, and muttered in a low voice: "That man told me that. He said that there is a hurdle in your life, just at the age of 25. Wearing his chain after 25, there will be a turning point."

Mai Mai's mind was in a mess, and she didn't know what to ask for a moment.On the other hand, Shao Jing calmed down: "Who is that person? How did he see that Mai Mai had a hurdle at the age of 25?"

Shi Jiping was a little afraid of him: "I don't know him either, I know him from Brother Chun's - Brother Chun's palmistry."

Shao Jing unceremoniously punctured his lie: "How can you ask someone you don't know to show Maimai palm reading? How can you believe someone you don't know? How can you tell someone you don't know? Do you want to make a Wuji chain? Do you know that making that kind of chain consumes the spiritual power of the producer? Do you know what kind of person can make that kind of chain?"

Shi Jiping couldn't answer his barrage of questions, he hesitated and blushed.Seeing that he was still not telling the truth, Shao Jing leaned back: "Since Mr. Shi doesn't want to say anything, then forget it. Maizi and I will go out in a few days. Where does Mr. Shi live now? Shall we give it to you?" Arrange a hotel?"

Mai Mai looked at him suspiciously - when did they say they were going out?But Shi Jiping was obviously a little anxious: "Where are you going?"

Shao Jing laid back his head leisurely: "Of course it's to find a way to renew Xiaomai's life."

"How long?"

"It's not that easy to find a way. I plan to go to Jiangxi first, and then to Shaanxi. If it doesn't work, I'll go to the Suzhou and Hangzhou areas...whatever it is, it will take about half a year."

Shi Jiping leaned forward, with an eager expression on his face, his lips moved twice, and he swallowed the words again.Shao Jing looked at him coldly, and noticed that his hands were constantly tightening and releasing, obviously in a very urgent mood.Shao Jing pretended not to see, and gently pushed Mai Mai: "Go and pack your things, or will you have time to leave tomorrow?"

Mai Mai stood up, Shi Jiping finally got anxious: "Brother Chun, wait!"

Wheat stood still and looked at him.He is very disappointed now: Shi Jiping clearly knew how his life was lost, but he refused to say it.Although he said that the wheat will be fine after 25, but if it is really fine, why can't he say it?

Shi Jiping's lips squirmed for a long time, and finally said: "Brother Chun, that, when you were young, did grandma have, did she..."

"Is there anything?" Maimai had vaguely thought of what he was going to ask.

"That..." Shi Jiping faltered, reaching out to grab Mai Mai's hand, "Let Dad see you--"

Mai Mai withdrew his hand: "What do you want to see? See if there are any scratches on my hand?"

Shi Jiping was stunned as if struck by lightning, and it took him a long time before he said, "You, you know?"

"Grandma's knife, isn't it?" Mai Mai looked down at the ground, not wanting to look at Shi Jiping, "You took that knife away, didn't you?"

Shi Jiping stayed there for a long time, and finally managed to force a smile: "Brother Chun, you lost your life, it was indeed Dad's fault, but, but Dad couldn't do anything at that time... Besides, aren't you already well now? ?”

Shao Jing said coldly, "How do you know he's alright?"

Shi Jiping cleared his throat: "You probably don't know, that knife is a good thing, Dad used that to cut it when he was a child--" Before he finished speaking, Mai Mai stretched out his hand in front of his eyes, Shi Jiping was stunned for a moment, and grabbed him hand, "This, why is there no such thing?"

Mai looked at him and said nothing.Shi Jiping finally showed a bit of panic and concern on his face: "Why didn't this happen? Didn't grandma row for you? Impossible, she will definitely row!"

Mai Mai withdrew her hand: "Grandma crossed it, but then it disappeared again."

Shi Jiping opened his mouth and didn't know what to say: "But you, but you are already over 25..."

"Mr. Shi, why do you always hold on to 25? Could it be that the original lifespan of wheat is only 25?" Shao Jing heard that he had 25 on the left and 25 on the right, and couldn't help feeling suspicious.

Shi Jiping hesitated: "That person watched it. He said that Brother Chun had a hurdle at the age of 25."

His explanation was very reasonable, but Shao Jing just felt that something was wrong: "It's still the question just now, where did Mr. Shi meet that person? Why did he think of asking him to show Maimai's palmistry? Also, why did Xiaomai have a lifespan line when he was born?" It's very long, Mr. Shi's palm prints changed after he disappeared, what's going on?"

Shi Jiping didn't expect Shao Jing to know everything, his expression changed, he couldn't answer.Seeing his hesitation, Shao Jing couldn't bear it anymore, so he stood up and picked up Shi Jiping's collar: "Say! Otherwise, I don't care who you are, and I will beat you to the ground!"

When Shi Jiping was young, he was a pretty boy with a pretty face on the outside but empty on the inside. Now that he is older, he can't stop Shao Jing from grabbing his hand.Shao Jing dragged him all the way to the window, opened the window with one hand and pushed his upper body out: "Believe it or not, I just threw you out!"

Mai Mai desperately tugged at Shao Jing: "Don't be like this--"

Shao Jing was unmoved, and pushed Shi Jiping out with his hands. Shi Jiping felt that his feet were off the ground, and was frightened out of his wits. He yelled, "I say, I say!" He could clearly see Shao With Jing's ruthless eyes, there was no doubt that the young man would directly throw him down.His life over the years has made him very knowledgeable. Shao Jing's clothes don't look very eye-catching, but they are all high-end in terms of texture and craftsmanship, which shows that the family has a bit of foundation, otherwise he wouldn't be so arrogant in his speech, and it is very likely that he is a The second generation of rich, maybe the second generation of officials.This kind of person often does things very differently. It is really possible to throw himself out without paying for his life. He doesn't dare to take the risk.

Shao Jing pulled Shi Jiping back slightly so that his feet were on the ground and the people downstairs couldn't see him, and said in a deep voice, "Say."

Shi Jiping was shocked for a while: "You, what do you want me to say?"

"Why did Mai lose his life?"

Shi Jiping's eyeballs rolled around, and Shao Jing sneered: "If you're lying--you think I can't tell, do you?"

It wasn't that Shi Jiping didn't want to say it, but he didn't dare to say it, and said with a mournful face, "You, can you let me down first?"

Shao Jing let go, but took a step towards the door, expressing clearly that Shi Jiping didn't want to run away.Shi Jiping looked left and right, leaned against the cabinet next to him, grabbed the side of the cabinet tightly, and said in a crying voice: "Brother Chun, Dad is sorry for you. You, that--your mother was stubborn at the time." , insist on carrying that ass of debt, Dad originally wanted to get some money to take you to live a good life..."

Mai Mai felt his head buzzing, and there was an answer ready to come out, but he didn't dare to face it directly: "Dad, you--"

Shao Jing was more direct than him: "You sold Maimai's lifespan to others!"

Seeing Shao Jing take a step forward, Shi Jiping immediately hid behind the cabinet like a rabbit being shot by a gun: "I, I can't help it, such a huge debt, how long will it take to pay it off... Besides, the person surnamed Zhong said that Maizi had a hurdle at the age of 25, and when he put on the chain he made, there will be a turning point after the age of 25..."

Mai Mai never thought that her biological father would sell her life, so she could only stand there speechless for a long time.Shao Jing clenched his fists and took another step forward. Shi Jiping immediately clung to the cabinet tightly, wishing he could stick to the cabinet, for fear that Shao Jing would carry him to the window again: "I have a small knife at home. It can be used to renew my life, my mother will use it. I think even if I sell Chundi’s life, I can use that to renew it, so... I have used it, it is really useful! I don’t know how I got here. It will be useless..."

Shao Jing managed to suppress his anger: "You tell what happened at that time in detail, and if you miss a word, I will throw you down."

Wheat has cold hands and feet.Shao Jing hugged him, gently took him to sit on the sofa, stared at Shi Jiping coldly: "Say!"

With a sad face, Shi Jiping finally stammered: "...I went out to play with Brother Chun in my arms, and that man was resting under a tree, just teasing Brother Chun. Then he saw Brother Chun's hand all of a sudden, and followed me. Say, say, say you want... want to buy Brother Chun's birthday..."

Shao Jing interrupted him: "No matter who it is, I'm afraid they wouldn't rashly tell someone they just met to buy your son's birthday, you're lying!"

Shi Jiping was exposed by him again, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense again: "I, someone told me that someone wanted to buy a child..."

Mai's heart sank again.Shi Jiping clearly planned to sell him.Shi Jiping took a peek at his expression, and stammered, "At first, I thought that the man had no children... Our family was like that at the time. I thought it would be better if I gave Chundi to someone else's family. Who knew that the man would Said that as long as you buy the child's life..."

Shao Jing took a deep breath, and barely suppressed the thought of beating him up: "Are you selling too?"

Shi Jiping said tremblingly: "The man said that Brother Chun originally had a hurdle in his life, and after passing this hurdle, there will be a turning point, and he even gave him a chain..."

Shao Jing hit the nail on the head: "Is it a lot of money? How much?"

"... Six, 60..." At that time, this amount of money was indeed a huge sum.

"How many years old did he buy the wheat?"

"50 years or 60 years, I don't know very well... The man said, he said, he said it was life changing or something, I don't understand..."

"How many years does that wheat have left!" Shao Jing really wanted to throw him out.

"Just, until 25." After Shi Jiping finished speaking, he immediately added, "But isn't Maizi all right after 25?"

Mai Mai and Shao Jing glanced at each other, and each other's hearts were completely chilled.Shi Jiping didn't know, but both of them knew that Xiaomai's life span was only over 25 because he ate a longevity peach from the birthday star.According to this calculation, the life span of wheat is only one year.When Shao Jing thought he was Shen Mobai before, he thought that he had a lifespan of 30 years, and how could he find a way to extend his life in five years; later, although he knew that he was not Shen Mobai, he still felt that there was still some time, but now... the truth It is unavoidable--there is only one year left of wheat, not a day more!

"You can get lost." Shao Jing didn't want to waste any more time.He originally wanted to find a way to extend Xiaomai's life after Zhou Qi's matter was over, and now he couldn't delay, Zhou Qi was not in any danger anyway, so let the Special Affairs Section deal with strange things, he had to Immediately leave.

"Don't!" Shi Jiping yelled, and now Shao Jing told him to go, but he didn't go, and asked tremblingly, "Well, Brother Chun, do you know how that knife is used?"

Veins popped up on Shao Jing's head, Mai Mai held him down and said calmly, "I don't know."

"Brother Chun--" Shi Jiping said with a bitter face, "Father is sorry for you, but--but anyway, I am also your father, you have to tell me..."

"I really don't know, why are you asking this?"

Shi Jiping didn't believe that Mai Mai didn't know: "I, I got married later, gave birth to two children and died at the age of ten, and now this one is eight years old... Brother Chun, Dad is sorry for you, Dad is rich now, Dad Can I make it up to you? Tell Dad, how did grandma engrave it on you?"

Mai Mai looked at him blankly, without any thoughts: "I really don't know, and you have also seen that the palm prints that my grandma carved for me have disappeared."

Shi Jiping stared at Mai with his mouth open, speechless.Shao Jing was extremely disgusted, and pointed at the door: "Get out immediately, or I won't guarantee that you can get out alive!"

Shi Jiping immediately scrambled and ran towards the door, but Shao Jing stopped him suddenly: "Wait! You said that the birthday buyer's surname is Zhong, what's his name?"

Shi Jiping shook his head: "I don't know, the middleman calls him Mr. Zhong."

Shao Jing said coldly: "If it's a birthday change, the names of the two children must be written. Have you seen the names of the children?"

Shi Jiping scratched his head and thought.At that time, he was only thinking about the 60 yuan, and it was a guilty conscience to sell his son, so he really didn't look at it carefully. After thinking about it for a long time, he vaguely remembered: "It seems to be called Zhong Dongshan? No, there is another under that mountain. A word, like a command? No, not a command word..."

Shao Jing's complexion suddenly changed: "Is it a word for today?"

Shi Jiping nodded again and again: "That's right, it's a jin character, and that character is Cen, right? Zhong Dongcen."

Shao Jing said word by word: "Think about it again, is it Zhong Dongcen or Zhong Lecen?"
