Chapter 94: Irreconcilable
This made us stunned. Enemy? A Chinese word often has many interpretations. Even the simple and direct word "enemy" may have two interpretations, perhaps the opposite meaning, that is, a pair of happy enemies.
Lin Yuxi wiped her tears and said, "I do have a grudge against him, but it's not an irreconcilable hatred. Uncle Chen, do you have a way to deal with the fox sparrow? I'm willing to pay any price."
I laughed bitterly again after hearing this. If Chen Dahong cared about money, he would have taken the 60,000 yuan in the box after killing the old blind man.
Chen Dahong shook his head and said, "With the fox-sparrow in his body , even the Golden Luo Immortal can't save his life. I can't do anything. But I can fulfill his dying wish and tell you two your life stories."
"Brother Yu, Manager Lin, what happened? Who are you talking to?" Xiaopang couldn't climb up by himself, and maybe the three people didn't help him, so he kept shouting in panic.
Lin Yuxi and I yelled at the same time: "Shut up!"
"Fuck, I care about you guys, and you told me to shut up. Fine, shut up then."
I asked excitedly, "Who are my biological parents and where are they now?"
Chen Dahong had a sly smile on his face and said to me, "I'm telling you this secret under certain conditions. Take your Ghost Talisman Scripture and the companion chapter in exchange for the hidden contents you want to see!"
I understood instantly that he was the one who killed the demon corpse in the ancient tomb. Although he got the golden tomb beast, he didn't see the companion chapter of the Ghost Talisman Sutra. Later, he went back to the ancient tomb to look for it. He found nothing, so he thought of me and Lin Yuxi again. When I was looking for him, I was afraid that he was also looking for me.
"As long as you can save him, we will give you the Ghost Talisman Sutra and any sister chapters. It doesn't matter if you don't tell us his background." Lin Yuxi covered her face and burst into tears.
I thought to myself that I was hopeless and it was useless to beg him. I just wanted to know my life experience before I died, and I also had a wish, which was to let Lin Yuxi live well. I nodded and said to Chen Dahong: "I don't have the Ghost Talisman Sutra with me at the moment, but please rest assured, I am dying soon, and it is useless to keep it. I will definitely give it to you. Please tell us our life experience first."
Chen Dahong saw that I was sincere. Besides, he had watched me grow up since I was a child, and he knew my temper and personality best. Since I had promised, I would not regret it. He hummed and said, "You two are from the south, and you are from the same hometown as the old Zongzi surnamed Lu. I don't know your parents' names, but I know that your two families are enemies. Your father killed her father, and her mother killed your father. Isn't this an irreconcilable hatred?"
When Lin Yuxi and I heard this, we were both shocked and couldn't believe it was true.
"You're talking nonsense! Aunt Ting said she had never been to the South, so how could I be from the South?" Lin Yuxi was still clear-headed at this moment, and she cried and cursed.
But I think this is not unbelievable, because the old blind man is not from Longjia Village, he moved here from other places in the early years. Moreover, he and Lei Xueting are two old bastards who never tell the truth. Who knows if they came from the south together and held us when they came?
Chen Dahong sneered, "I can't help it if you don't believe me. I've lived in Longjia Village for so many years. When the old blind man and Lei Xueting went to bed, I overheard everything. Not only are you enemies, you and the Lu family are enemies as well. Back then, because of some things, you killed each other, and in the end some died and some escaped. The old blind man and Lei Xueting took the opportunity to take you two away, and ran from the south to Longjia Village, trying to find a way to pour out the things in the ancient tomb. That's probably what happened."
Lin Yuxi believed what he said. Because the old blind man and Lei Xueting were in collusion and secretly plotted to use us, this was a fact. And Chen Dahong was able to reap the benefits in the end, that was because he knew the enemy and the self, and knew all the bad things about the two of them. Besides, Chen Dahong had no reason to lie to us. I was going to die soon, what could Lin Yuxi do to him?
The girl took her hands away from her face, stopped crying, looked down at me and said, "Your father killed my father?"
Chen Dahong hummed and said, "It is said that they used a particularly cruel method, nailing him to the rocks with a stone. Also, your sister also fell into the water and drowned because of this incident."
When Lin Yuxi heard this, a strong hatred immediately surged on her face. She stared at me and gritted her teeth and said, "Little rascal, your father killed our family, and I am still sad for you. Am I a cheapskate?"
"Xiao Xi, listen to me. Even if this is true, it is still a favor between the previous generations..."
Lin Yuxi didn't wait for me to finish and slapped me loudly. She stood up and said coldly, "You saved me. If I kill you, you will definitely be dissatisfied, right? Well, since you are about to die, I won't do it." After saying that, she covered her face and ran out of the house, with hurried footsteps running all the way out of the old house.
I lay on the ground with a confused mind. How could such an ending happen ? Why must the grudges of the previous generation affect the next generation? Didn't Lin Yuxi's mother also kill my father? When will the cycle of revenge end? I wanted to know my life story, but I felt very depressed. I raised my head and asked Chen Dahong: "Do you know how to break the ghost tongue curse?"
Chen Dahong opened his eyes wide with a surprised expression: "You still want to save this girl? Hehe, I have never seen someone as foolish as you who actually wants to help his enemy survive. Do you know how her mother killed your father? She tied him up and buried him alive! Your mother committed suicide by jumping off a cliff, but her mother didn't survive because one of her children died and the other was lost. In the end, she jumped into the river and drowned."
Hearing that my parents died so tragically, my heart was twisted into knots, and I couldn't control my tears anymore, but I took a deep breath and said, "No matter what grudges the previous generation had, there is no need for our generation to continue. Please help Xiaoxi break the ghost tongue curse."
Chen Dahong shook his head and said, "I only promised to tell you my life story, but I didn't promise to help you break the curse. I can't do that. Tell me quickly, where is the Ghost Talisman Scripture hidden?"
When I heard this, I couldn't help but get angry. Breaking the curse for Lin Yuxi was my greatest wish in my life. If I couldn't do it, I would die with my eyes wide open. I sneered and said, "If you don't agree, you will never get the Ghost Talisman Scripture!"
"Xiao Yu , you have changed. You have been sincere and honest since childhood, and you always keep your words. Why have you become so cunning now?" Chen Dahong couldn't help but frown, looking very angry.
I slowly got up and said to him coldly, "I learned this from you!"
