Wen Liang turned his head and looked at Lei Yu beside him. His eyes gradually softened and he smiled, "Why are you talking about this again all of a sudden?"
Lei Yu stared at his eyes intently, let out a long breath, patted his chest and said, "Uncle, you scared me to death. What happened just now? You looked really scary without saying a word!"
"Just now," Wen Liang raised his head again and said softly, "I was thinking about some past events and was lost in thought..."
Lei Yu seemed to understand, but was infected by the gentle look. He looked at the statue of Lu Zu on the altar and said in a voice full of doubt: "Uncle, do you think there are really gods in the world?"
Wen Liang was silent for a moment and said, "I don't know! Maybe there is, maybe not. I haven't seen it, or I wouldn't believe it even if I saw it."
Lei Yu showed a hint of ridicule and said, "I have seen him. He was a very great immortal. Many rich and powerful people traveled thousands of miles to see him... That year, I remember I was only five years old..."
After Lei Yu was born, his mother's health was not good. She traveled all over the country and abroad but her condition did not improve. She spent at least half of the 365 days a year in bed. Within two years, no matter how beautiful her face was, she could not resist the erosion of the disease. Lei Yunhai cared less and less about Lei Yu's mother, and stayed out all night for longer and longer periods of time. After another two years, he almost ignored her. If it were not for the New Year's holidays or the birthdays of the elders, the huge Lei family would almost forget that there was such a person.
But Lei Yu's mother was born into a famous family. Although her family was not as powerful as the Lei family, they were not easy to mess with. Several uncles tried to mediate several times, but Lei Yunhai was still careless and did not know how to restrain his lover. Lei Yu's uncle took the opportunity to punish him severely. The commotion was quite loud at the time, and when it reached the ears of Mr. Lei, he almost demoted Lei Yunhai to plant trees in the northwest.
"… Heh, she seems to be much better from the outside, but what's the truth?" Lei Yu's eyes flashed with hatred, and he paused, "Not long after, her condition worsened, and the doctor said she had at most three months to live. That day, my uncle came to say that a very powerful person appeared in the Northeast, and practicing with him could cure all diseases. But less than two months after practicing his Dafa, something else happened at home. After my mother answered the phone that night, she vomited blood and passed away just like that…"
Lei Yu's little face was filled with sorrow, tears welled up in his eyes, and he squatted on the ground and said over and over again: "What gods, what Buddhas, they are all lies, they are all lies..."
Wen Liang sighed. No wonder he was so resistant in front of the hall just now. He patted Lei Yu's shoulder, stood up, clasped his fists, bowed to the ground, then took Lei Yu's hand and walked out.
There is no road he asked about, nor the person he is looking for. It is just an ordinary Taoist temple in the secular world, just like Huixian Temple. Without Blind Li, it is nothing!
On the way back, seeing that Lei Yu was still indignant, Wen Liang comforted him, "The world is so big, there are always one or two extraordinary people and things, and then they are praised by those who are busy with things and used by those with ulterior motives, and then they become omnipotent gods. If we are not desperate, we will not think of relying on such illusory power, so when prayers are not rewarded, isn't it reasonable?"
Lei Yu looked gloomy, and after a while he said, "I understand, but when I was desperate, it shouldn't have given me hope again, and then cruelly made me despair again. Uncle, if it weren't for you today, I would never have stepped into this place."
Wen Liang touched his head and stopped talking, but suddenly thought of something in his mind. Lei Yu's mother died five years ago, Yan Qixiu and Zhuang Shaoxuan had a conflict five years ago, and Ning Xi was exiled abroad five years ago. What happened in the capital five years ago
The car slowly turned into Xidan. When waiting for the red light, Lei Yu chuckled and said, "Do you want to continue listening to the story of that unlucky guy?"
Wen Liang said nonchalantly, "I have nothing to do anyway, so tell me about it!"
"Didn't Ning Xi choose the temple on Mount Tantuo as the location for the blind date? So what? A temple is fine. This way she would look like the most famous girl in the third generation of the Ning family, and she would be different from ordinary people. But it happened that it was snowing heavily in the capital that day. The unlucky guy climbed to the top of the mountain alone, panting, and then waited in the snow for more than an hour without seeing anyone. On the way down the mountain, he fell again. He was so cold and scared that he had a high fever when he returned home that night. He stayed in the hospital for a week before he recovered."
Wen Liang burst out laughing and said, "Ning Xi didn't go at all?"
"She and Zhu Zixuan were comfortably listening to music and drinking coffee in Xidan. Look, that's the one. They were sitting by the window admiring the falling snow. How could they forget that there was an unlucky guy waiting for them on Tan Tuo Mountain?"
Wen Liang was surprised and asked, "This matter is a private matter between the two families. How do you know so much about it?"
"Didn't I tell you during dinner? If it was someone else, I really wouldn't know him, but I know this unlucky guy!"
Wen Liangxiao was surprised and asked, "Someone from the Lei family?"
"My aunt's son, his surname is Yang, he comes from a scholarly family," Lei Yu stretched and said, "but he is not as dirty as our Lei family!"
Wen Liang stroked his chin and said, "I remember you promised to do me a favor, right?"
"Does asking me about Ning Xi not count as being 'busy'?"
"Of course not. It was just a casual chat between friends. I just asked casually. Who asked you to go into so much detail?"
Lei Yu covered his forehead and begged, "Uncle, please don't be so shameless, okay?"
By the time they arrived at the courtyard, Wen Liang had already obtained all the information about the unlucky guy from Lei Yu. Yang Zong, male, 4 years old, graduated from a famous engineering college and entered the Beijing Optoelectronics Technology Research Institute. Not many people may know about the Optoelectronics Research Institute, but the later Electronic Technology Group Corporation, or CETC, was established by integrating research institutions such as the Optoelectronics Research Institute. His father worked in the Scientific Research Guidance Department of the Academy of Military Science, and his mother, Lei Yu's aunt, worked in the 08 Institute. His ancestors had produced several cultural celebrities, and they were definitely a family of scholars as Lei Yu said.
Regardless of whether there were some political reasons that Wen Liang could not understand, Wen Liang was puzzled: Isn't the Ning family a military family? Why did they choose to marry a group of intellectuals
Lei Yu explained it this way: As the saying goes, one should make up for what one lacks. Ever since he joined the army, Old Man Ning had a nickname called "Elegant Punk". He himself was illiterate, but he always admired intellectuals. Later, when the country was founded and he gained power, he wanted to wipe out the tough spirit in the family tradition. He could not count on his sons, so he started with his grandchildren, half of whom were in the army and the other half were studying. Therefore, there were special elites like Ning Hai, as well as rebels like Ning He who were engaged in real estate business. He also had a child prodigy like Ning Xi. So, if you could say it, he could be considered a half-literate family.
Wen Liang nodded repeatedly. One could tell from the name, "The sea is peaceful and the river is clear, work hard day and night", people who can name themselves with these eight characters obviously have a deep cultural worship. With Yang Zong's family background, as long as he has decent character and looks, it is not difficult to please the old man.
Seeing Wen Liang lost in thought again, Lei Yu said, "Yang Zong is a good-looking guy. He is handsome and elegant. But he is a kind person, but he is also stupid. He is lucky to be in the research institute. If he was in other places, he would have been eaten to pieces by others."
He shook his head and said, "Every time I see him smiling at me, I think to myself, what the hell are you smiling at? Do you know that I really want to kick you into the pond? Why are you still smiling?"
"so… "
Lei Yu deliberately drew out a long tone, and Wen Liang woke up from his trance and asked curiously, "So what?"
"So uncle, you don't have to worry. That guy's IQ and EQ are like the difference between a three-year-old child and a thirty-year-old uncle compared to you. Not to mention his shamelessness and disrespect, they are not in the same weight class at all."
Wen Liang smiled and said, "Why should I worry? It has nothing to do with me!"
"Really? Then why are you asking me this?"
"Chatting, chatting, understand?"
"Shameless, shameless, understand?"
The two of them entered the yard while arguing. After entering the second gate, they heard a group of women chattering. Looking up, Zhu Zixuan was leading five or six fashionable girls, gesticulating and talking about something. Lei Yu frowned and said, "These people are annoying. I won't go in!"
Could it be that he had encountered the female army of Beijing that every male protagonist who travels through time and space encounters? Wen Liang grabbed Lei Yu's hand and whispered, "We've been through thick and thin together. Don't forget that you still owe me a favor. It's not very kind of you to run away alone at this time, right?"
Lei Yu said speechlessly: "Uncle, I just asked you to help deal with the teacher. How many favors do I have to repay you for this?"
Baidu saw Wen Liang first and hurried over to greet him, saying, "Miss Zhu just asked about you. She said she couldn't find anyone at Miss Ning's place and got really angry!"
Before Wen Liang could say anything, Zhu Zixuan ran over screaming, leaving the other girls behind him looking at each other in bewilderment. Although Zhu Zixuan was young and had a bad mouth, she was considered quite stable among the girls. Apart from Lei Fang, she had never been seen treating other men like this.
"Where the hell have you been? I waited for you all day, but you didn't even answer my call..."
Wen Liang took out his phone and checked it. He didn't know when it ran out of battery. He shook it at Zhu Zixuan and said with a smile, "Don't blame me. Why, are you planning to treat me to a meal?"
"Eat your head!" Zhu Zixuan took Wen Liang's hand without hesitation and walked towards her group of sisters, saying: "I brought people here to see how to achieve the standards you mentioned, which are most suitable for women's taste, women's aesthetics, women's comfort, etc..."
A girl with amazing smoky makeup raised her head and said, "Zixuan, great, you're playing the game of keeping a beautiful girl in a golden house with your sisters. Who is this handsome boy?"
Zhu Zixuan glared at her and said, "Don't talk nonsense, this is my best friend, just treat her as a woman, don't be polite!"
