Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 688 A hundred secrets and one sparse

Qi Dasheng woke up in shock, looked towards the roof, and saw with his own eyes three people falling from the roof.

Wang Zhan walked out of the main room and said to his master with a smile: "No one should come now, but I have to repair the roof tomorrow."

Qi Dasheng and the soldiers he brought were stunned and frightened by Wang Zhan's series of actions.

Wang Zhan said very tiredly: "Master, I have been busy all day and I am very tired. I will not eat the dumplings. You guys can do whatever you want. I will go back to sleep."

After saying that, he went to his bedroom, turned off the light, wrapped himself in a quilt and went to sleep. He slept soundly, and when he woke up, it was already noon on the first day of the New Year.

Wang Zhan got up from bed, folded the quilt, pushed open the bedroom door, and saw his master sitting in the same place where he had sat yesterday, drinking.

"Master, Happy New Year. I, your disciple, wish you a happy new year." After saying that, he knelt down and kowtowed three times to Qi Dasheng.

Qi Dasheng was stunned for a moment. He had thought of many scenarios of meeting his apprentice today, but he had never thought that today was the first day of the Lunar New Year and he, as the master, would have to give red envelopes.

Qi Dasheng dug around in his pocket for a long time before finally taking out 10,000 yuan. It was not right to give it, nor was it right to not give it. Unexpectedly, Wang Zhan took the money from Qi Dasheng himself and said, "Master, we are just friends, so just a token of our gratitude is enough. It's just for good luck."

After saying that, he looked at the dishes on the table and said, "I'll take the dishes out, heat them up, and put some dumplings in." After saying that, he took the dishes out of the main room and went straight to the front yard.

When walking towards the front yard, Wang Zhan saw that the snake was still there, but the body was gone. He took one look and went to the kitchen. He didn't heat up everything, but only four dishes and cleared the rest. Then he put two plates of dumplings in, added vinegar, chili oil and garlic, and brought them back to the main room.

Wang Zhan sat at the position where Qi Dasheng was shooting, and took the initiative to pour him a glass of wine. The two began to eat. Qi Dasheng ate dumplings and drank wine at the same time. After a while, he asked: "Your shooting skills are quite accurate. Where did you learn it?"

Wang Zhan said: "I studied in Myanmar and Cambodia for three months."

"Where did you get the gun?" After asking this question, Qi Dasheng regretted it, because Wang Zhan had given him a rifle.

Qi Dasheng drank a glass of wine and said, "More people died this time. Although they deserved to die, it was too cruel. I used a large truck covered with canvas to haul them away. I caught the man behind the scenes early yesterday. When he saw the truck full of corpses, he fainted."

Wang Zhan ate dumplings and said slowly: "Master, when I was in Thailand, I was thrown into the Snake Valley. I barely escaped. Sometimes, in some situations, it's a life-and-death struggle. If I show mercy, I will be the one to die."

Qi Dasheng was silent for a while, then said, "I feel that the worst thing I did was to send you away. By the way, there are two people who want to see you. I think you have guessed who the first one is, and the other one is the person behind the scenes. Do you want to meet them?"

Wang Zhan sneered and said, "If you are not afraid that he will die sooner, then let me see Uncle Li. I will go there today and pick up my sister by the way."

Qi Dasheng really treated him as an adult this time. He looked at Wang Zhan carefully and said, "I kind of miss you when you were eight years old and didn't go out. You're a little too cruel now."

Wang Zhan sighed and said, "I also want to change back and try to change a little, but I always think of the unbearable experience that Blind Chen and Taoist Wang gave me. I will try to change in the future."

Qi Dasheng nodded and started drinking. When he had almost finished, he said, "Disciple, your growth makes me feel ashamed. I plan to leave in a few days to study in Shanghai for a while. When I will come back depends on the arrangements from above. I don't know when we will meet again after this separation. Come and have a drink with Master."

Wang Zhan thought about it, poured himself half a cup, clinked glasses with his master, and drank it all in one gulp.

Qi Dasheng also drank. After the two finished eating, they cleaned up the mess and went out together. Qi Dasheng first took him to Uncle Li's house. Without Qi Dasheng, he really couldn't get in, unless he sneaked in. When he arrived at the compound, Wang Zhan found that it was not far from his home, but this compound was closer to the Forbidden City, which was the Ziwei Zhongzheng place of the royal dragon.

As Qi Dasheng was walking, he suddenly asked, "Why don't I smell alcohol in your breath?"

Wang Zhan rolled his eyes at him and said, "I'm only ten years old, you really want me to drink?"

Qi Dasheng widened his eyes and said, "That's not right. I saw you pour it into your mouth, and you didn't spit it out?"

"It's a kind of magic trick. I'll teach you when you come back." Wang Zhan continued to walk forward.

They arrived at a three-story red brick building. Qi Dasheng went forward and knocked on the door. A middle-aged woman opened the door. Qi Dasheng smiled and shouted, "Sister Wang, Happy New Year. Is Mr. Li here?"

"Dasheng, Happy New Year to you too. Everyone is here, come in quickly." Sister Wang said.

Qi Dasheng brought Wang Zhan into the small building. Only then did Sister Wang realize that Qi Dasheng had brought a child with him.

Qi Dasheng introduced, "This is Wang Li's brother Wang Zhan. This is his first time here."

"It's you. I've heard of you a long time ago. Your sister talks about you every day." Sister Wang said with a smile. Wang Zhan also nodded at Sister Wang and shouted, "Auntie Wang, Happy New Year!"

As soon as you enter the house, there is a large living room with a circle of sofas. Uncle Li is sitting in the middle, surrounded by a group of children. It seems that Uncle Li is telling them stories.

The children turned their heads when they saw someone coming in. Suddenly, a little girl rushed out from the middle of the children and jumped onto Wang Zhan, saying, "Brother, are you here to pick me up?"

"Yes, I'm here to pick you up. Are you behaving well here?" Wang Zhan asked.

Wang Li said sweetly, "I'm very good."

Just as Wang Zhan was about to say something, he heard Uncle Li's voice. Uncle Li looked at him and stood up, saying, "Shouldn't you go to the study with me first?"

Wang Zhan put his sister down, said a few words to comfort her, then followed Qi Dasheng and went to the study with Uncle Li.

In Uncle Li's study, Wang Zhan sat a little stiffly on the single sofa, Qi Dasheng sat opposite him, and Uncle Li sat on the long sofa in the middle. Sister Wang brought tea to several people, but when she brought it to Wang Zhan, she was stunned for a moment, wondering, can such a young child drink tea?
Wang Zhan smiled and said, "It's okay, I can drink it too, thank you Aunt Wang."

When Sister Wang heard the child calling her Aunt Wang, she smiled and left the study.

Uncle Li took a sip of tea and said, "Tell me, how do you know so much about them? And where did you learn those methods?"

Wang Zhan put down the teacup in his hand and said, "I have dealt with them before. When I was in Xi'an, Taoist priests were their assassination targets. Their methods were all the same, nothing special. Later in Macau, I encountered more advanced agents, including American agents. Their methods were similar. The Taoist priest once said that what they are playing with now are the leftovers of our ancestors. It's nothing special."
