Intertwined Destinies of Bonds

Chapter 22. Legends

"Copied the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic a hundred times?" Yuchi Gong burst into laughter, "Then how much have you copied now?"

"Only twice..." Zhuoyou said weakly.

"Ah? When will this be copied?" Yu Chigong was taken aback, "Can't you do it a few times less?"

"No, and...he will... read every word... every word..." Zhuo Zhuo sighed, having such a father, he could be regarded as bad luck for eight lifetimes.

"Can't you rest?" Yu Chigong bit his finger, this father is too cruel, if he copied it a hundred times in a row, wouldn't he send the white-haired person to the black-haired person?Alas, even though he didn't see his father with gray hair, the truth is the same.

"Yes." Excellence wiped his face wearily, but as a result, his face was completely blackened.

"Then why don't you rest for a while before copying?"

"Finish copying earlier...won't I...be able to go to work..."

"Then your dean agrees?" Yu Chigong asked. I held my son from going to work. Didn't this cause him to lose his job?Zhuo Zhuo's father would do this?

"The dean...it's my mother..." When Yu Chigong mentioned this, Zhuozhuo felt that he was even more pathetic. His parents always disagreed, but when it came time to punish him, the two of them had a tacit understanding. I really doubt that I was born to entertain them, if not for my tenacious vitality, I am afraid that I would have been entertained by them to death.

"What? The dean is your mother?" Yu Chigong was confused, "Your mother is the dean of the Holy Cross Hospital?"

"Correct."

"Is the Holy Cross Hospital run by your family?"

"Correct."

"Ah!" Yuchi Gong exclaimed, "Zhao Zhuo, so you are the rich second generation."

"No."

"Why not? Such a big hospital belongs to your family, what if it's not a rich second generation?" Yu Chigong was a little puzzled,

"Our family...was very rich...several generations ago." Zhuoyou opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling, his expression seemed to be telling a sad past, "but... when I was young... I don't even have a penny...for pocket money...my parents never...don't buy...toys for...so...you can only...find a way..."

"Think of a way? Think of a way?"

"Dig a pit in the... yard... play... tunnel warfare... so that... now... the yard is full of pits... accidentally... fell into it...so... ...not even thieves... dare to come..."

"Your parents didn't stop it?" Yu Chigong was quite ashamed, Zhuo Liang was so skinny when he was a child, he actually dug holes all over the yard, and it wasn't a mouse.

"No, they...also...encouraged...to dig a hole...that is...you can exercise...your body..."

"..." Yu Chigong had nothing to say, Zhuoyou's parents were really not ordinary people, he was yelled at by his parents when he climbed a tree at home, if he dared to dig holes all over the yard, wouldn't he be drowned by saliva?

"By the way," talking about the courtyard, Yu Chigong suddenly remembered the person he saw at the door, "Do you have Xiong-Di?"

"Yes," Zhuoyue gathered enough strength, sighed, and stood up from the chair, "I have a younger brother, Zhuo Qi, who committed suicide two years ago. I'm going to wash my face, and we'll have a cup of tea in the back later."

"Suicide?" Yu Chigong's heart tightened, worried that he had mentioned something that shouldn't be mentioned.

Zhuo Zhuo came out of the bathroom, went to the bedroom to change clothes, and then greeted Yu Chigong: "Let's go to the backyard, the tea should be ready."

Yu Chigong silently followed Zhuoyo downstairs, turned around a thick bush, and came to a lake.

"Ah, so your family also has a lake?" Yu Chigong happily stepped on the stone bridge and walked into the small pavilion on the lake.The style of this small white gazebo is very similar to the Qixin Pavilion in Xiuxin Garden. It is made of pure white marble, with stone tables and benches inside, and the tables and benches are covered with delicate tablecloths and cushions.

Yu Chigong sat down on the stone bench, looked up at the dome of the small pavilion, and couldn't help admiring: "It really looks like the Qixin Pavilion."

Excellence followed slowly, sat opposite Yu Chigong, looked at the calm lake outside, and replied: "According to my father, this place is imitated according to the design of Xiuxinyuan, but the scale is much smaller than that, and the scenery is also beautiful. Not as good as there."

The woman who opened the door to Yuchi Gong brought tea and put it on the stone table, Zhuo Zhuo thanked him, and she left.

Zhuoyou pointed to the stone table and continued: "This small pavilion is a fake Qixin Pavilion, and this bridge is a fake Xiuxin Garden's Zhenxin Bridge, but that bridge collapsed hundreds of years ago. , so now we can no longer see its shadow."

"Oh?" Yu Chigong opened his eyes wide in surprise, "But why did you imitate Xiuxinyuan?"

"Probably to give them a home." Zhuoyue picked up his teacup and took a sip.

"they?"

"En." Zhuo Zhuo nodded, put down his teacup, and looked at the lake quietly, his eyes were very ethereal, "He is the protector of this land."

"Protector God?" Yu Chigong looked at Zhuo Liang in surprise. Is there really a god in this world?

"That's them." Zhuo Yue suddenly fished out a small snake from the water, and dangled it in front of Yu Chi Gong's eyes.

"Purple silk?" Yu Chigong took it over and took a look, and it was indeed what Lin Qingyuan said, with a golden body and purple patterns.

"Are you not afraid of snakes?" Zhuo Liang sat back on his seat, picked up his cup and continued to sip slowly.

"Isn't it not biting?" Yuchi let it wrap around his wrist lightly, rolling his golden body coquettishly, looking at his sapphire-like eyes, he couldn't help admiring, "It's really beautiful! , are they the patron saints of this land?"

"Haha, just kidding, you still take it seriously." Zhuo Zhuo smiled, "It's just a legend."

"Legend? What legend?" Yuchi Gong asked curiously.

"It is said that wherever the purple silk snake appears, there will be prosperity."

"Is that so?"

"I don't know." Zhuozhuo shook his head, "However, purple silk snakes are quite prosperous in our area, especially after the heavy rain, a large number of purple silk snakes will climb up from the lake and play on land, and they will step on them if they are not careful. to them. My mom nearly sprained her foot once trying not to step on them."

"So many? We've never seen this kind of snake in our area. I didn't believe it when Qing Yuan told me."

"It's not that there are purple silk snakes everywhere in this area."

"Where is it not?"

"There is no such thing as Xiu Xin Yuan."

"But yesterday Nangongyu said that she saw it. Although she didn't see it clearly, she really saw a golden snake."

"He must have misread it. There can't be a purple silk snake there. Our family's family motto is all about the purple silk snake. There is a prophecy in it: If you want to be safe, you must prosper. If you want to prosper, you must live."

"What do you mean?"

"If you want to live in Xiuxin Garden, you must let the purple silk snake flourish there. If you want the purple silk snake to prosper there, you must let the purple silk snake revive there."

"Why is it called resurrection? Aren't these snakes alive and well?"

"This resurrection should refer to the purple silk snake that died at that time. Xiuxinyuan is the place where the purple silk snake originated, but after a catastrophe, the purple silk snake became extinct there, although the family training did not specify that. Who is the chief culprit of the disaster, but it is clearly recorded that a two-headed purple silk snake was brutally killed, and two children under the age of ten were involved in this accident. Since then, Xiuxinyuan I will never see the Purple Silk Snake again."
