Yin Shou Shu

Chapter 67 Good Seedling

Looking at the heartbroken and miserable Sixth Aunt, Ran Qing on the mountain road was stunned for a moment.

He subconsciously looked at the man.

On the dark mountain road, the man looked at Ran Qing indifferently and said.

"What? You think I did something wrong?"

"Even Lu Baiyin's stupid wife didn't dare to say I was wrong. She just scolded me for being cruel and not giving Lu Baiyin a chance."

"You've been studying for so many years, and you're an excellent student at No. 3 Middle School, with such good test scores. You can't be completely ignorant, right?"

"You attacked your father without knowing right from wrong. I won't bother with you."

"But no matter what, I'm your father. Do you think you were right to hit me just now? Is this what your teachers at school taught you?"

The man occupied the dual commanding heights of morality and identity, and ridiculed Ran Qing coldly.

Ran Qing stared at the man in front of him, then looked at Aunt Liu, and finally asked through gritted teeth.

"Since you did nothing wrong, why does Li Hongye hate you so much..."

He had never met Li Hongye's mother.

But Li Hongye is not the kind of person who does things indiscriminately!

Especially at the last moment, she took the initiative to give up killing Ran Qing.

She had clearly turned into a fierce ghost, filled with hatred and anger, and was about to kill Ran Qing for revenge. But at the last moment, she let go of her hatred and let Ran Qing go...

Ran Qing was in great pain.

Looking at his son's painful expression, the middle-aged man said, "That girl..."

But as soon as the middle-aged man opened his mouth, he saw his son's eyes.

The boy's eyes were filled with pain and sorrow for the girl's death.

Being stared at like this, the middle-aged man suddenly fell silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a few seconds, the middle-aged man cursed expressionlessly, "Go ask Lu Baiyin's idiotic wife about this question! Why are you asking me?"

"Lu Baiyin's idiot wife knew it wasn't my fault, yet she still felt justified in resenting me and even brought her daughter along to hate me."

"Lu Baiyin was refined into a blood corpse after his death. It must have been this woman's idea. She forced her daughter to hate me as well, and after her death, she also refined herself into a blood corpse, just to kill me."

"They're the ones who did something stupid to disgust me, and you don't blame them but me? What a bullshit!"

Ran Jianfei started cursing in annoyance and disgust.

He began to curse Lu Baiyin's wife, blaming all the faults on Lu Baiyin's daughter-in-law.

"Back then, Lu Baiyin said he wanted to marry his daughter to my family, and I freaking agreed! It's so disgusting thinking about it now."

"If I become a relative of this stupid woman who can't tell good from evil, I'll be sick in my dreams!"

Harsh words kept coming out of his mouth.

He vented his emotions angrily.

But at this moment, neither Ran Qing nor Aunt Liu, the two ghost walkers on the dark mountain road, had anything to say.

Ran Qing was not an eyewitness to the incident and could only speculate about the past events based on their stories. But even Aunt Liu, who was furious when the incident was mentioned and was the person involved, was speechless in the face of the middle-aged man's curses.

Logically speaking, the middle-aged man did nothing wrong.

He was just selfish, cruel, and didn't care about old feelings. Such selfishness was exactly the same as the image in Ran Qing's memory.

But this was the only thing he couldn't be considered to have done wrong...

A bald man from Southeast Asia who cut young cotton plants into pieces and turned them into dogs is capable of doing such cruel and evil things. He is indeed not worthy of trust and no one dares to take a gamble.

Even if Ran Qing were placed in that position, he might not be as ruthless and decisive as the middle-aged man. But he would probably make the same decision...

Ran Qing had nothing more to say.

After Li Hongye's death, he was dragged into a strange and dangerous world, where he saw many bizarre and terrifying things. His once poor but promising life was shattered. After struggling in the darkness, he finally figured out everything.

But in the end, he couldn't blame anyone.

He couldn't blame the man in front of him, because no matter what, it was this man who saved him. At least in this matter, this man really fulfilled the responsibilities of a father, and Ran Qing had to thank him.

He couldn't blame Li Hongye. No matter what, at least at the last moment, Li Hongye gave up killing him and let go of her hatred.

This matter seemed to have ended perfectly, and Ran Qing's life seemed to have returned to peace.

But... Li Hongye is dead!
Ran Qing's heart felt like it was being cut and crushed by a sharp blade.

The girl who was as bright, playful and lovely as the sun is dead.

The girl who often teased him and accompanied him in the boring tutoring office for many days and nights died.

No one will bring him mooncakes with a smile during the Mid-Autumn Festival anymore.

There will never be anyone who will blindfold him from behind while he is busy studying and ask him to guess who it is...

Ran Qing's expression became dazed.

The atmosphere on the mountain path gradually became subtle.

Aunt Liu looked at the middle-aged man with a complicated expression and was also speechless.

However, the middle-aged man walked to Aunt Six calmly, as if nothing had happened.

"Let's go, Sixth Sister. This Wujiang ghost world is very dark and gloomy. Staying there for too long is not good for your health."

"If you bump into some ancient evil thing, that would be bad."

Ran Jianfei walked out coldly, passing directly past his son without even looking at him.

Aunt Liu sighed and reached out to pull the boy up.

She patted Ran Qing's shoulder with her rough palm, looked at the boy's numb and pale face, and seemed to want to say something.

But in the end, Aunt Six just sighed and said, "Let's go."

Aunt Six turned and left without saying a word.
Ran Qing followed silently.

Little Mianhua ran out from the darkness and observed everyone carefully. She seemed to sense the subtle atmosphere, so she hurried to the front to lead the way, not daring to make any sound.

The dark ghost world of Wujiang was soon left behind by them.

Little Mianhua led everyone out of the Wuzhai Pass and came to the gloomy old forest.

Aunt Liu walked side by side with the middle-aged man, but kept a certain distance from him.

Aunt Liu didn't say anything.

The man, however, observed his surroundings calmly, as if nothing had happened, and said in a calm tone, "Thank you for taking the trouble, Sixth Sister, to bring out the tablets of the past masters."

"But is Lu Baiyin's daughter really that vicious? Is she even going to bring out the tablet of the deceased master?"

This incident confused the middle-aged man.

Aunt Liu was silent for a moment and glanced at the young man who was following behind her holding the gloomy wooden sign.

She sighed and said, "Yesterday, a knife seller from out of town came in and sold me a life-or-death knife on credit. I was worried something might happen, so I prepared everything I could."

"I just didn't expect that Ran Qing would be able to destroy that girl's obsession and resentment so easily."

"He was only in there for a few minutes, wasn't he? I didn't even have time to coordinate with him outside, and he already resolved the girl's resentment."

As she spoke, Sixth Aunt looked at Ran Qing deeply, her eyes full of complexity.

"This kid is a good seedling..."

Aunt Liu gave it a very high evaluation.
