Chapter 14 Chapter Thirteen: Things My Father-in-Law Can't Forget

Walking back to the cave, Wu Kui's father-in-law seemed to be asleep. Wu Huan listened in front of his room, only hearing the old man's short and quick breath, occasionally accompanied by a terrible sound of phlegm and cough. This time, Wu Kui's father-in-law seemed to be seriously ill. As soon as Wu Huan thought about it, the joy of playing all day suddenly disappeared, and instead he felt a little bit of guilt and fear. Wu Kui's father-in-law is so seriously ill, and I'm still playing outside, how can I explain this behavior to his old man? What should I do if my father-in-law dies like this?

With such a mood, Wu Huan couldn't sleep all night. However, after sleeping half awake until the middle of the night, Wu Huan heard Wu Kui's father-in-law calling for her. Although he has lived with Wukui Eunuch for eight years, this has never happened. Could it be... With this in mind, Wu Huan hurriedly picked up the shoes, and ran to Wu Kui's father-in-law's room in three steps. Under the dim light, apart from the small wooden bed, there was only a simple stool.The old man Wu Kui lay quietly on the bed, his eyes were distracted, Wu Huan probed his forehead and found that his body was very hot.It seems that the old man's cold seems to be getting worse.

"Wuhuan..." the old man cried weakly. "I'm here," Wu Huan quickly reached out to hold the old man's withered hand, "I'm here, I haven't gone anywhere." "I...I don't know if my body can hold on..." The old man said with difficulty: "But...if I can't make it through, you have to live on your own, you know?" "Know." In front of a solitary lamp, the two were silent, and Wu Huan didn't know what to say to this always stern old man, so he just stood there in a daze. After a while, Wu Huan thought of a topic, and quickly spoke up, trying to break the deadlock: "Elder-in-law Wu Kui, I... I bought some medicine for you, and I... I cooked it for you..."

The old man looked at him blankly and shook his head. "No, you can talk to me here." "Do you want me to sing to you?" "No need," the old man said weakly, "just talk to me." "it is good." After a while, the old man said quietly: "You must think that I am unreasonable and difficult to get along with, right?" Wu Huan hesitated a bit, but nodded anyway. Seeing the child's straightforwardness, the old man actually showed a rare smile. "You...you look more and more like your father. That year..." The old man said leisurely: "Master Di and I met him in front of the posthouse. He is a good man...it's a pity that he was rejected That monster took his life..."

Wu Huan had already heard this story from him, and knew that his father died at the hands of a snake demon, but he didn't know that Father Wu Kui would say it again at this time. "Actually... Di Shi and I have always had different views on things like goblins. I always thought that goblins and people must be opposites, so as a hero, when you meet a monster, you should kill a monster. Evil, it's a matter of course..." Wu Huan realized this point in Master Di's records early on. He discovered very early on that Master Di was more tolerant of spirits. He always felt that spirits were born with nature. The way of living.

But because the old man Wu Kui was usually too serious, Wu Huan always kept this thought in his heart and didn't say it out loud. "However, my illness! I may not be far away from death. I thought a lot in the hospital bed. Thinking about it, Master Di's view is quite reasonable. He often said that 'all things are born in nature, and the clothes are one body', but I But it is rare to be able to listen to it..." "Eunuch Wu Kui's thinking is not wrong," Wu Huan heard the remorse in his tone, and quickly comforted him: "Like my father, even if he is killed by evil spirits, there is nothing wrong with killing evil spirits." place."

"However, I have seen the scene on the night of your father's death." The old man Wu Kui took a long breath: "Because of a moment of righteous indignation, he broke into the meeting place of the goblins. At that time, the gun in his hand The sword is an ancient magic weapon, those monsters couldn't beat him, they once begged for forgiveness, but your father refused to give up, that's why they met him..." "However, it is always wrong to harm a goblin!" Wu Huan said firmly: "If there is no harm, we should let it go, but if it makes a mistake, we should not tolerate it."

Eunuch Wu Kui thought for a while, and finally nodded slowly. "You are... now a big kid, do you know who gave you the name 'Wuhuan' for you?" Wu Huan was startled, only to realize that he didn't know the origin of the name. Di Menghun hadn't told him before, whether the old man Wu Kui had mentioned it. "I... I don't know." "In your face, you are destined to have excellent aptitude and high comprehension, but you have too much viciousness," Wu Kui sighed, "I once checked your birthday and found that you are destined to kill. The achievement is not small, but it will also harm many living beings. Master Di has always had the virtue of being good at life. In order to cater to his temperament, I named you the word "Wuhuan". ?"

Wu Huan nodded, he had also seen such a saying in Di Menghun's third stone chamber. "Who am I..." Wu Kui sighed, "There is no joy or joy in my life, no relatives and no children, it's all because of my temperament..." He paused, then slowly asked Wu Huan: "Wuhuan child." "yes." "Do you know what my last name is?" "I know that father-in-law's name is Wukui, as for the surname..." Wu Huan murmured something, only to realize that he never knew what father-in-law Wukui's last name was. "I don't know what my father-in-law's last name is."

"My surname is Jiang, from Chaoge City, so my name is Jiang Wukui." "Yes, Wu Huan knows." "I was originally an unlucky person, but I was saved by Master Di when I was young, and I have been born for decades. Therefore, my life, Jiang Wukui, was bestowed by Master Di." "Young man..." Wu Huan said the word "youth" in a daze, but his thoughts turned like a tide. After thinking for a while, he opened his mouth wide and couldn't speak for a long time. From the very beginning, Wu Huan had wondered about the age gap between Di Shi and the old man Wu Kui.

On the outside, Master Di is much younger than Wu Kui, but the old man Wu Kui respects Master Di very much and always behaves like a disciple. Later, when Wu Huan got older, he thought that the two of them might be the master-student friendship of Wangnian. Master Di had a higher level of cultivation, and although Wu Kui's father-in-law was much older, the two discussed their friendship based on their level of cultivation. Treat each other with the courtesy of disciples. Now it seems that this is not the case at all. "When you were young..." Wu Huan said dully, "You met Master Di?" The old man Wu Kui nodded. "That's right, the year I first met Master Di, I was nineteen years old." Wu Huan thought for a while, then shook her head firmly. "Liar, that's impossible." "Everything I said is true," the old man Wukui sighed, "I have known Master Di for sixty-seven years, and I have been taken care of by him for sixty-seven years." "Then..." Wu Huan said in surprise, "Master Di has always been like this, never aged?" The old man Wuhuan glared at him, wanting to scold him, but couldn't help coughing. After a long time, the coughing gradually stopped. "I have something to say, so let me say it, my son is rude, why do you keep asking?" Wuhuan stuck out her tongue, not daring to ask any more questions. "The reason why I have been so unhappy in my life is because I have a big regret in my heart." "What's the pity?" "I was originally the son of a peasant family outside Chaoge City. My parents died of the epidemic when I was young. The only person I depend on for life is my twin brother." "Brother?" Wu Huan wondered, "Do you have a younger brother?" "My younger brother and I were born in the same womb, with only a moment difference between their birthdays, and their name is Ziya." "Zi Ya?" Wu Huan vaguely felt that this name seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it before. "On the day my father was dying, he asked me to take good care of my younger brother. The two depended on each other for a lifetime, shared wealth and poverty, shared food and prosperity, but ah..." "But what?" "But my younger brother has been weak since he was a child, and he has been on the verge of death countless times. Fortunately, he was always able to save the day, but..." This time Wu Huan stopped talking, and just let the old man talk on his own. "But God is not kind. One day, my brothers and I met a goblin in the thick fog while passing by the foot of the Kunlun Mountains. My disciple Ya was caught by the goblin. Since then, there has been no news of it. I was also seriously injured by the goblin attack. If Master Di hadn't rescued him, Wu Kui would have long since disappeared from this world..." "So you have hated goblins from then on. Is this why you slashed demons when you met demons, and slashed evil when you met evil?" The old man Wu Kui didn't seem to hear what he said, but just stared blankly at the nothingness. After a long time, he said slowly, "Wuhuan, my son." "Wuhuan is here." "I want you to promise me something." "Father Wu Kuai, please tell me, as long as it is something you ask Wu Huan to do, Wu Huan will definitely do it." "Before Mr. Di, he strictly forbade my disciples to go to Kunlun Mountain again, but before he died, he once told me one thing..." "What's up?" "Di Shi once said that your understanding is thousands of times better than mine. If one day you can understand the secrets of Kunlun, you will be able to go there." Although this statement is not ambiguous, Wu Huan is still at a loss. "Wait, wait... I don't understand what that means, what is the secret of Kunlun, what is that?" "I don't understand, and I don't care," the old man said a little sarcasticly, "I just want you to promise me one thing." "You..." Wu Huan spread her hands helplessly: "Forget it, just talk about it!" "If one day you can kiss Kunlun, I want you to help me find Ziya." "Find Ziya? Didn't you say he was taken away by the goblin?" "Yes, I want to see people in life, and I want to see bones in death. I hope you can help me find him. If he is lucky enough to be alive, you can tell him that I, an older brother, will still miss him until death; if he dead, I want you to bring his bones back so that my brothers can be buried in the same cave." It seems to be an extremely difficult wish to achieve, but although Wu Huan and Wu Kui are close to each other, they are already like real relatives.Wu Huan thought about the old man's condition, so he agreed first. "Okay, I promise you." The old man Wu Kui was still cold, and he didn't show any expression of gratitude for it. "Very good..." He slowly covered the quilt and turned around: "You can go back to your room!" Wu Huan has long been accustomed to the stern attitude of the old man Wu Kui, and he looked at the old man's back worriedly, knowing that he would not turn around again, so he shrugged and went back to his room.
