Xie Du, the richest man in Beiliang, was also a famous filial son.
As a cloth merchant who started out as a mat weaver and shoe seller, Jie Du was very happy to lead his family in cultivating their moral character. After completing the two-hour morning hand exercises, Jie Du came to his side room, woke up his father, and began the noon morning ear exercises.
"big big big!"
Facing the gaming table sideways, eyes closed, Jie Du and his old father kept roaring. When the lid was lifted, revealing the small numbers of one, two and three, Jie Du and his old father Jie Sanhai sighed together and shook their heads helplessly.
"Hey, hey, why are the father and son of the Jie family having bad luck with cards today?"
Another wealthy businessman at the gambling table smiled and took back the chips on the table.
"The whereabouts of my old father are unknown, and he feels unhappy."
Jie Sanhai sighed. Ever since his old father Jie Se disappeared, and the city of Beiliang was closed, he couldn't eat well, sleep well, or smoke Wushi Powder. He only gambled for four or five hours, even eating meat. I only go to the alley once a day.
"yes."
Jie Du sighed, the same was true for him. After his old father's father disappeared, he didn't think about food or tea, and he didn't play mahjong. He could only rely on shaking the dice for four hours to numb himself.
"Oh, my condolences."
The wealthy businessman sighed and shook his head. Just as he was about to exchange the chips, the man who rolled the dice started to roll again. Seeing this, he didn't bother to change the chips, so he just threw in all the money he had just earned.
With the sound of opening the lid, Liuliu Liu's Tianbaozi appeared in front of everyone. Suddenly, the wealthy businessman was shocked. Looking at the Jie family and his son who threw the chips on Tianbaozi, he said in horror:
"You guys set a trap on me!"
"I'm willing to admit defeat, Boss Li."
A kind smile appeared on Jie Du's face. He put away a lot of chips and said happily: "Should we exchange the chips?"
"Me, me, me."
Boss Li panicked and lost all ability to speak for a moment. Jie Sanhae, who was on the side, had already made preparations. He put aside the chips one after another and raised his hand.
Snapped!
With a slap in the face, Jie Sanhe immediately felt relaxed. Seeing this, Jie Du happily stepped forward and slapped him.
Yes, since Beiliang City was rectified due to the abacus case six years ago, no money was gambled in the casino opened by Jie Du and Xie Sanzhi at home.
Gambling on palms.
And the two hours of hand exercises they do every morning are really hand exercises. Hanging sandbags, frying iron sand, and splitting bricks are all morning exercises for the father and son.
Just to have a good time.
"Boss Li, come back next time."
Looking at the pig-headed Boss Li's back, Jie Du waved his hand and said goodbye warmly. On the side, Jie Sanhai squatted on the steps, wrapped his pipe and sighed.
"well."
Hearing his old father's sigh, Jie Du had a clear understanding, took out the fire seal and lit it directly for Xie Sanxi's pipe. He squatted beside his old father and sighed helplessly.
Since the disappearance of his old father Jie Se, Jie Du and Xie Sanhao have been in low spirits and miss that immortal elder every day.
But they all also know that based on their own father's performance day and night, if he doesn't exhaust himself before the age of ninety, he will win.
But···
"Is the monster hunter you found reliable?"
Jie Sanhai took a mouthful of tobacco mixed with Wu Shi Powder, exhaled a breath of cool air, and asked with some suspicion: "It's been two months, why is there no news?"
"Don't worry."
Jie Du on the side was playing with the dice in his hand and said firmly:
"Master Zhou is a well-known monster hunter in Beiliang City. Even the government asked him to be a consultant during the anti-pornography and illegal activities. Despite his young age, the brothel and casino area is more prestigious than the two of us."
"So powerful? Why do I remember that others say he is the most unreliable monster hunter?"
Jie Sanhao scratched his head in confusion, but didn't say much. Although he is the father, in fact, his son takes care of everything at home and in the shopping mall, while he mainly eats, drinks, has fun, gambles and gambles.
"Oh, dad, I feel like grandpa..."
Jie Du wanted to speak but stopped, and Jie Sanhae also understood what he meant. He sighed deeply, patted his son on the shoulder, and comforted:
"Your grandpa was already prepared after being caressed by the immortal. To die to realize his wish may be a curse to others, but for your grandpa, it may not be a good thing."
"But what did my grandfather exchange his life for?"
"I do not know either."
Shaking his head, Jie Sanhai sighed: "No one can understand him in his life."
Just when Jie Du and Xie Sanzhi were about to get up and go back to the house, they suddenly heard a loud noise. They both turned their heads and found that their door had been kicked open. Standing in front of the door was a stunningly beautiful white-haired girl.
"Where's Jiedu? Come out to Sajia quickly!"
The girl was obviously cute and delicate, but her words were deliberately harsh. She looked at the nursing staff in the hospital who looked like they were in danger, and said loudly:
"I have something important to tell him. You guys, hurry up and get out of here, otherwise my fists the size of sandbags won't have eyesight."
A girl with a delicate body and beautiful appearance spoke such vulgar threats. This made everyone look at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.
The six-year rectification campaign in Beiliang has allowed these nursing homes to maintain basic literacy. They know that they must not offend anyone suspected of mental illness in Beiliang City, especially those whose words do not match their body shape.
The caretaker of the nursing home stepped forward, lowered his eyebrows and asked kindly: "Little sister, can you tell me your name?"
"I···"
Tang Wan looked at the old man smiling like a bright chrysanthemum in front of him, and subconsciously took a step back.
"Okay, let this girl come in."
Jie Du couldn't stand it any longer. He was afraid that this young girl who had already begun to clenched her fists would punch his housekeeper to death. He quickly stepped forward and said, "This girl, I am Jie Du. If you have anything to do with me?" I’ll discuss it in detail.”
"oh."
Nodding, Tang Wan took out a piece of jade and threw it to Jie Du.
"This is your grandpa."
"ah?"
Jie Du was stunned for a moment, and the guards around him drew out their knives, ready to teach this madman a lesson.
"well."
Just when Jie Du looked confused and the guards around him picked up their weapons and were about to fight with the girl, Zhou Li behind the door couldn't stand it anymore, sighed and walked into the other courtyard.
"Put it away!"
The moment he saw Zhou Li, Jie Du quickly stopped the nursing staff around him who were preparing to teach this arrogant woman a lesson, and cursed:
"You are my distinguished guest, how dare you use swords against me? Don't you want to live anymore?!"
Seeing the guards around him put away their swords, Jie Du quickly approached Zhou Li and bowed.
"Mr. Xie, there is no need to be polite."
Waving his hands, Zhou Li looked at Tang Wan, who stood there blankly with his hands spread out. Not knowing what he had done wrong, he sighed, took the evil soul jade in her hand, and said to Jie Du beside him:
"This is really your grandpa."
"ah?"
Jie Du was stunned again. He seemed to have remembered something, and sadness gradually appeared in his eyes. He took a deep breath, as if to calm himself down, and his hands trembled a little.
"Please come into the main room to discuss this in detail."
Jie Du maintained his demeanor and made a gesture of invitation, but his steps seemed a bit frivolous. Zhou Li and Zhou Li looked at each other and followed Jie Du into the main room without saying anything.
After entering the main room, Zhou Li and Tang Wan sat across from Jie Du. Jie Du absent-mindedly asked his servants to make tea, and then repeatedly looked at the evil soul jade in his hand, with only sadness and sadness in his eyes.
"Mr. Zhou, are you... telling the truth?"
Raising his head, Jie Du asked sadly, "Is this really my grandfather?"
"You can understand that."
Zhou Li nodded, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and then said: "Evil Soul Jade is a jade stone that the monster uses special spells to condense the human soul and body together, turning it into a jade stone that contains the memory of the deceased."
"Your grandfather was killed by a snake demon in Shangjing Hongwei Building, but the good news is that refining the evil soul jade will not feel pain, and will only gradually lose consciousness in bliss. At least, the old man walked away with a smile. "
After hearing Zhou Li's persuasion, the pain on Jie Du's face disappeared a little, but Zhou Li was keenly aware that in addition to pain and sadness, Jie Du seemed to have another emotion.
Relieved.
"Mr. Zhou, if my guess is correct, my grandfather should have left something behind, right?"
Raising his head, Jie Du looked at Zhou Li with a relieved look, and asked slowly: "His relics should be more than just this evil soul jade."
Um?
Zhou Li's heart suddenly cheered up when he heard this. He quickly realized that the death of Mr. Xie might not be that simple, and this Jie Du was not an ordinary playboy. He knew that what Jie Du was talking about were the seven fairy gourd seeds.
To say or not to say?
Before Zhou Li could make a decision, Jie Du quickly spoke:
"Please rest assured, Mr. Zhou, I have no intention of begging for anything."
Jie Du smiled bitterly, sighed softly, and then said with a gloomy expression:
"I'm just a businessman, a member of the Ming Dynasty. I don't want to get involved in the affairs of the Immortal family, and I don't dare to get involved. I just want to see what the secret that my grandfather has hidden for twenty years looks like."
Pushing a thousand-tael silver note in front of Zhou Li, Jie Du pleaded, "Just think of it as my request."
Two sheets.
Three.
four.
"Zhou Yi, come out for a moment."
After putting away the four thousand taels, Zhou Yi, who transformed into a crimson gourd, also appeared next to Zhou Li.
When Jie Du saw the fairy-like figure, he was immediately infatuated. After a moment, Jie Du covered his face, and a line of clear tears fell from his cheeks. He gritted his teeth, his voice trembled, and tears fell to the floor uncontrollably.
"This is exactly the same as my sister-in-law who died young."
