Hey hey hey, are you two okay?
My son is free from the three evils, and my beloved grandson is free from death. When I saw this letter, I was already dead. Are you surprised?
I have already entrusted my friends with the idea that when the news of my death reaches Beiliang, this letter kept in the Taiping Company will appear in your hands.
Surprised? sad? relief? Or have you already bought the whips and foreign wine, and are shooting off the firecrackers while drinking heavily?
It doesn't matter, you can scold me now because I can't hear you anymore.
I know that I have never been a good father, nor a good grandfather. After all, any good person goes to a brothel every day for half a month. Also, let’s not blame each other. One is a five-stone loser and the other is a gambler. Our family is considered to be full of five evils.
Of course, please rest assured, I have no hard reasons. I go to prostitutes purely to solve problems and comfort the lonely and empty hearts of women who have lost their way. I don't have anything that I have to do. All I have to do is find a day to die, that's all.
Therefore, I understand all your slanders and abuses against me, because everything you say is true. You don't have to feel guilty, because I really am such a person.
But you'd better not cry for me. I'm dead. It's a pity that I can't see you crying for me.
Next, here are some things I want to say to you, from the bottom of my heart.
There is no resurrection after death, I often use this sentence to comfort myself. Not for today when I know I will die, but for twenty years ago. However, until the day when I decided to die, I never got over this sentence.
Fortunately, you can.
To solve the three evils, twenty years ago, you walked into Boss Liu’s pharmacy in a daze and bought your first pack of Five Stone Powder. I haven't done many good things in my life, but saving the pharmacy owner and his family is the most correct thing I have ever done.
So, you have been smoking jelly powder for twenty years.
if not? Do you think a person who smokes Wushisan can stay awake? Do you think I can let a poisonous insect inherit the three hundred years of Jie family's inheritance and ruin your grandfather's family business?
People who take Wushisan cease to be human from the day they are dominated by desire.
Also, Jie Du, I don’t blame you for what happened twenty years ago, and your father didn’t blame you either. However, none of us got over that incident.
My child, the flood was not your fault, and it was not my mistress’s fault that she saved you.
The last words she left before being swept away by the flood were to let us catch you.
Twenty years, we have been trapped for twenty years.
To this day, that flood still sweeps through my dreams. Every time your father pretended to be addicted to Wu Shi Powder, he would cry and read his name. And you have never walked out of that flooding river.
But now you can come out.
You have been asking me what wish the immortal granted me, but I have never told you. Now that I am dead, it is time for me to tell you some things.
I know that there is no resurrection after death. This is not a consolation, but a truth.
My only wish is that one day in the future, the immortal can redeem the remaining soul of my little girl who was swept away by the flood. I don't ask her to be reborn, or even to remember anything.
I just hope she can see it.
And you can come out.
I am free.
I hope there are brothels in hell.
Haha, I just refuse to repent. Until I finish writing this letter, I still miss my mistress and my daughter.
Jie Se - This letter was written in the sixth year of Hongxi's reign in the Ming Dynasty.
----------------------------------
"call."
Exhaling, Jie Du closed his eyes and put the letter with Jie Se's seal aside. He raised his head and looked at the silent Jie Sanhae beside him, speechless for a moment.
"Dad, you don't have to pretend anymore."
Jie Du shook his head and broke the silence, "No need to trouble Boss Liu from now on. I have to act with you every day, pretending to be nervous about buying Five Stone Powder from a ghost market in another place."
"This old boy has cheated me a lot."
Jie Sanhe muttered angrily, then he looked at Jie Du and said softly: "Did you really see your sister-in-law at that time?"
"Do you think I'm wrong?"
A faint smile appeared on Jie Du's face. He still remembered the bright girl suspended in mid-air, lazily greeting him.
"But she doesn't remember us."
Hearing this, Jie Sanwei was startled for a moment. A trace of disappointment flashed across his slightly old face, but it was soon enveloped by a faint smile.
He raised his head, looked at the roof that had not been repaired for twenty years, and said calmly: "It's not important, it's not important anymore."
"yes."
Gently rubbing the handle of the chair, he lowered his head and looked at the inscription "Chair given by Xie Xiaonuan to his stupid nephew". The corners of Jie Du's mouth were slightly raised, a little bitter, but more of a relief.
"It's really time for us to come out."
"So, you have been pretending to be a gambler for ten years?"
Facing his father's inquiry, Jie Du shook his head, nodded again, and said with emotion:
"At first, I really wanted to find some excitement and forget about the flood. But later, I felt like I was trapped. I only had the desire to play cards all day long."
Thinking of this, Jie Du smiled and said self-deprecatingly: "I thought that after several years of business, I would be able to stop in time and leave after winning the bet. But I have this idea every time. Several times, I almost couldn't get off the gambling table. .”
"Fortunately, every time when I was about to fall in, I always felt that my sister-in-law was right next to me. She still held my ears and called me my stupid nephew like before, and asked me to go home and wash my hands and eat while she cooked for me. I ordered fried pork with green pepper. Then, I seemed to have woken up and ran out for my life."
"Dad, aren't you curious why I chose a man who is known as the most unreliable monster hunter?"
Looking at Jie Sanhae aside, a smile appeared on Jie Du's face.
"Why?"
Jie Sanhai knocked on his pipe and asked.
"Six years ago, I went to a casino. I had just finished a drinking party. I drank too much and was gambling. My mind was muddled. I kept throwing money and throwing money, but I kept losing."
"Then I got anxious. I didn't bring much money with me at the time, so I wanted to borrow some money from the owner of the casino. Now that I think about it, it was just a game. We were just one step away from changing our surname."
"I just asked about the location of the boss, and one of their gangsters kicked me secretly and kicked me out into the alley. I was very angry at the time and just about to scold him, I saw my sister-in-law standing beside him. He looked at me with a look of hatred, and I woke up right then."
"That Ma Zi is Zhou Li in disguise, right?"
Jie Sanhai put down his cigarette bag, looked at Jie Du aside, and said, "So, you found him last month and asked him to find your grandfather."
Nodding, Jie Du stood up, looked at the closed door of Jie's house, and said slowly:
"After the Abacus case, I was still living in confusion, but at least I stopped gambling. A month ago, my grandfather told me that he was going to Beiliang. If he didn't send a message to his family within ten days, he would be searched for. .”
"He said that those who look for him will get the secrets he has kept for twenty years, so grandpa asked me to find a trustworthy person to find him. I thought about Zhou Li who kicked me awake, and also thought about the people who were following him. Sister-in-law, I found Zhou Li on the eleventh day after grandpa left."
"I know that there is a sick sister in Zhou Li's family. I also asked Jijiu from Taixue University about the medicinal materials they need. So I bought the soul-soothing pill, exchanged it for four thousand taels of silver, and entrusted Zhou Li to investigate grandpa's death. whereabouts."
Jie Sanhai looked at the afterglow of the setting sun shining on the entrance hall, with a faint smile in his eyes, and whispered to Jie Du beside him: "This is the most correct decision you have ever made."
"yes."
Recalling the high-spirited young man just now, Jie Du said with relief: "My sister-in-law is by Zhou Li's side, so she might have a chance to have a bright future... right?"
"Don't be so hesitant."
"Nonsense, your son went to Imperial College with Zhou Li back then."
The father and son looked at each other, and then burst into cheerful laughter.
The steward who was cleaning the courtyard stopped immediately after hearing the laughter and froze on the spot. It had been twenty years since he had heard his son and master laugh so heartily.
"So grandpa also pretends to like prostitution?"
"that is not."
"He's really horny."
Uh-huh.
The steward continued to sweep the floor, pretending that he did not hear the treasonous conversation between the two. However, there was a smile on his old face.
A wide broom swept away the dust from the door frame, and the stone steps that had once been carved with beautiful words by the girl were also able to see the light of day again.
[I wish my horny dad, boring gourd brother, and idiot nephew always be happy]
【Love you little Nuanliu】
