"Who could have guessed that the reason why we came to Shanghang Art School in the first place was just to retrieve my master's soul?"

On the No. 18 bus, Yan Shouyi opened the door He opened the window and allowed the heat wave outside the window to hit him, ruffling his bangs that had just grown out.

After settling the matter at Shanghang Art School, Yan Shouyi hurriedly went to the outskirts of the city to find Lao Jin to get medicine.

Because in the morning, he obviously noticed that Lin Zitong's face was a little pale. It must have been the injury he suffered from being attacked by the Bai family's kid that night, but he still didn't know clearly.

Long Feicheng sat next to him and talked non-stop.

The great drama in the morning led to the arrest of Wan Ninghong and Dong Xi. The Huangsong case and the girls' dormitory case were also completely concluded.

In Long Feicheng’s eyes, he believed that he and Yan Shouyi were both great heroes.

　It’s just that not many people know about it.

"As the saying goes, there are gods three feet above the head. Master Cang Tian sees what Dong Xi and the others do." Yan Shouyi said calmly.

Long Feicheng shook his head: "Brother Yan, you are handsome and everything you say is right, but I don't quite agree with what you just said."

"Oh? Why don't you agree?"

Yan Shou turned around and thought about it for a moment. This sentence was something his father often said before.

Yan Shouyi, who had lived with his father and grandfather since he was a child, naturally accepted their ideas. Sometimes he did not seriously think about whether what his father and grandfather said were all correct.

Long Feicheng said:

"As the saying goes, good people are rewarded. Huang Song is a good person, right? The girl who was killed by Dong Xi was not a bad person at least. , but where is their reward? Huang Shihui was even misunderstood as a liar who wanted to extort money. If it weren't for us, these grievances would not be solved... I think we are the great heroes, and the sky is nothing. If the sky had eyes, it shouldn't have allowed a bastard like Dong Xi to be born."

After hearing Long Feicheng's words, Yan Shouyi was silent for a while.

When Long Feicheng saw that Yan Shouyi was silent, he thought he had convinced Yan Shouyi, and couldn't help but feel a little elated.

At this moment, an old man sitting in front of them suddenly turned his head, smiled and said to Long Feicheng:

"This little friend, you That's right, but it's also wrong. Everything in this world has its own laws of operation. The sufferings suffered in this life are all the sins committed in the previous life. Some people are good people in this life, but they may not be good people in the next life. Some people will not be good people in this life. He is a bad person. He may not have been a bad person in his previous life. Although I am notI know what you have been through, but when it comes to this cycle of cause and effect, I still know a thing or two. "

"It's a lie, old man, what you are saying is a lie! How do we know about past lives? "Long Feicheng said unconvinced.

Yan Shou raised his head and looked at the old man in the front row. The old man was only wearing a very ordinary striped T-shirt. He looked lean and lean. Yes, there are gray hairs on the temples and some age spots, but he still looks particularly energetic.

What makes Yan Shouyi even more concerned is the dry-smoking gun in the old man's hand. It looks like a dry-smoking gun. It is simple and simple, with a brownish to reddish color. There are exquisite carvings on it, which are made of fine purple bamboo. The cigarette holder is carved with jade. The cost of this cigarette alone is already high.
< br />In the most conspicuous position of the dry pipe, a simple but lifelike ox is carved.

When the old man saw Yan Shouyi staring at the pipe, he asked: "Young man , why are you staring at my smoking gun? Could it be that your addiction to smoking is aroused? "

As soon as Yan Shou came to his senses, he smiled shyly, shook his head and said, "I don't smoke cigarettes. The cigarettes are too strong and harmful to the body." "

The old man was choked by Yan Shouyi's answer and was a little out of breath. Long Feicheng quickly helped pat him and said helplessly:

"Brother Yan, Don't speak so bluntly, you'll make the old man angry. "

"Ahem, I'm fine, cough, cough, cough, cough. "

The old man coughed for two seconds and finally recovered. His face was a little dark.

Yan Shouyi felt guilty, so he took advantage of the old man not paying attention. After a few taps on the back of his hand, the old man's breathing became much smoother and his face looked much better.

"Hey, how am I feeling better? "The old man was quite surprised, but he did not expect that this was Yan Shouyi's help.

Yan Shouyi said: "Old man, to be honest, I know the dry pipe in your hand. "

"You know him? "

The old man looked surprised, then smiled and shook his head: "Young man, don't brag. This dry pipe has been with me for decades. I always carry it with me. I don't have it. I've met you, how do you know me? "

"Because, this dry pipe gun was made by my grandfather. "

"What? ! You...you say it again? "

Yan Shouyi patiently pointed to the scalper logo on the dry pipe gun and said: "Everything my grandfather makes will have a scalper logo on it. This kind of logo is unique, so I can recognize it at a glance. Out. ”

The old man’s face gradually became shocked and he didn’t dare toHe held Yan Shouyi's hand with confidence: "You, are you the grandson of Master Yan?"

When meeting an old friend in a foreign land, Yan Shouyi still felt somewhat friendly, even though he did not know the old man. , but thinking that this old man once had a relationship with his grandfather, Yan Shou also felt a sense of intimacy with the old man.

"Forty years ago, when I was still struggling in Sichuan and Chongqing, it was your grandfather who gave me the guidance and allowed me to develop in Jianzhou, so that I could have the family business I have today! Alas, so many years have passed by Everything has passed, but I didn’t expect to meet his grandson by chance. This is fate! Fate! ... Young man, where is your grandpa now? How is his health? Is it convenient for me to visit him?"

The old man pulled Yan Shouyi and spoke for a long time in one breath. It can be felt that the old man has deep feelings for Yan Shouyi's grandfather.

Yan Shouyi smiled and replied: "Grandpa, he passed away not long ago."

"This..."

The old man His eyes suddenly showed sadness and he felt lost. He couldn't help but sigh: "Time flies so fast, so many people pass away...Hey. I wonder where your grandfather is buried. Can I go and pay homage to him?"

"My grandpa traveled all over the world all his life, and he didn't want to stay in one place after his death. He specifically asked me to scatter his ashes into the rivers. Therefore, he has no monument or tomb, and he is still among the four seas."

Speaking of his grandfather, Yan Shouyi also missed him a lot. After all, he had followed his grandfather all over the world since he was a child.

How can words describe the feelings in this?

It is precisely because of the deep feelings that Yan Shouyi will smile every time he mentions his grandfather, even if he has passed away.

“Your grandfather is really a great man.” The old man sighed again.

He paused and said: "Young man, I wonder what your name is? Do you want to settle down in Rongcheng now? If possible, I would like to invite you to visit me in my humble abode, as a way of repaying your kindness back then. Your grandfather's kindness to me."

"My name is Yan Shouyi, and I will stay with you till the end of my life. Master, you can just call me Xiao Yan," Yan Shouyi said. "As for repaying the kindness, my grandfather I live my life without asking for anything in return, so there is no need to mention the matter of repaying a favor. I would be very happy to go to your house as a guest and have a meal!"

"Hahaha, that's great!" The old man immediately said He took out a note from his chest pocket and wrote his home address on it.

"Three days later, when the sun sets, I'll be waiting for you at home!"

Yan Shou took a look at the note and didn't know where it was. In Rongcheng, he smiled and nodded in agreement.

Old manHe didn't ask Yan Shou for his contact information. He must have believed in the fate between the two. If they were destined to meet again, there would be no need for contact information. If they were not destined to meet again, it would be useless to leave their contact information.

Soon, Yan Shouyi and Long Feicheng got off the bus at the station, and the old man sat on the bus and left.

After getting out of the car, Long Feicheng muttered: "Brother Yan, is this the way you cultural people communicate? I feel like I can't even get a word in!"

Being unable to interrupt made the chatty Long Feicheng feel very distressed...

Yan Shouyi comforted him: "It's just a small episode, it's more important to find Lao Jin to get the medicine."

Long Feicheng thought it made sense: "That's right. That old man still rides the bus at an old age, so he must not be doing very well..."
