Just as Ying Feng arrived at the airport, Ying Xue, Ying Han, and Ying Tian had also arrived at the Three Lives Stone Cafe. After Ying Xue took out Yanfeng's transfer contract. Ying Xue naturally became the new manager of the Three-Life Stone Cafe.
Ying Tian stood at the bar counter in boredom. He looked at the drizzle outside the window alone, and his thoughts unconsciously returned to the past.
It was also a rainy day more than 10 years ago. At that time, Ying Tian was 11 years old. Ying Tian remembered that the rain was very heavy that day. Because of his playfulness, he ran far away and lost contact with his master and the others.
Ying Tian, who was standing in the heavy rain, was very afraid. He was afraid that his master would not be able to find him and that he would be kidnapped again. Ying Tian stood in the heavy rain and began to cry loudly. However, in the midst of the rumbling thunder, his cries seemed abnormally small.
Ying Tian stood in the heavy rain and cried. He gradually felt tired and wanted to rest. Under the baptism of the heavy rain, Ying Tian felt that he could not hold on any longer. His body slowly fell down. The moment he fell, a white figure quickly supported him. It was his master. Ying Tian smiled faintly.
Old Man Ying rubbed Ying Tian's forehead and muttered,""Not good. He has a high fever. He has to go back for treatment immediately.”As he said that, Old Man Ying carried Ying Tian up the mountain.
Ying Tian did not know how he came back. He only remembered that he had a nightmare that night, dreaming that he was kidnapped. He muttered,"Master, save me! Master, come and save me!"”
Old man Ying, who was standing beside Ying Tian, gently stroked Ying Tian's forehead with a benevolent expression. Ying Tian woke up the next day. From then on, he would not go out on rainy days.
Ying Xue was sitting at the side drinking coffee, her hands touching the cup. Looking at the coffee in the cup, it was as if she saw the kind smile of the master in the cup.
Ying Xue was very engrossed in watching. She recalled the first time she met her master on a snowy day.
Due to a fire, Ying Xue's parents died in the fire, and she was adopted by her only grandfather.
He remembered that the winter was very cold that year. His grandfather, who was already old, died of illness on a snowy night. Ying Xue, who was in her teens, became an orphan from then on. She was walking alone in the snow.
An old man dressed in white stood in front of Ying Xue. He smiled at the pale and frail Ying Xue and said,"Little girl, why are you here alone? Where are your parents?"
Ying Xue thought of her deceased parents and grandfather and could not help but cry out,"Dad, Mom, and Grandpa are gone. Xue 'er is alone now. No one will take care of Xue 'er anymore."
The old man looked at Ying Xue, who was crying sadly, and said with a kind smile,"I'll take care of you in the future, okay?”
Ying Xue couldn't help but nod her head. At that time, she only felt that having someone to take care of her was more important than anything else.
Ying Xue continued to reminisce, but when she thought of her master's death and how she had not been by his side, the corners of her eyes began to moisten. He thought to himself, Master, Xue 'er misses you, misses you very much.”
Looking at the smoke rings in front of him, he remembered that whenever his master saw him squatting in a corner smoking, he would tell him with a serious face," Don't smoke anymore. Smoking is not good for your health.”Right now, Ying Han really wished that his master would remind him again. Unfortunately, that was no longer possible.
When he was young, Ying Han lived in a backward mountain village. There were still ancient oil lamps there, and the traffic was blocked, isolated from the world.
He remembered that one day, a middle-aged man came to the village and told the children that he would bring them to see the world and that he would bring them back in a few years. The simple villagers believed him, and many children followed the middle-aged man to the outside world. Of course, Ying Han was among them.
The children who had just arrived in the outside world were fascinated by the dazzling world. In the beginning, the middle-aged man was very good to the children and bought this and that.
However, one day, a child was taken away by a middle-aged man and never came back. Ying Han asked the middle-aged man, but the man only said that he had asked someone to send the child back. The number of children decreased day by day. Finally, one day, it was Ying Han's turn.
The middle-aged man brought Ying Han to another room. A fat middle-aged man with big ears was sitting in the room. The person who brought Ying Han nodded and bowed to the person sitting in the room. "How about this child? Name your price."”
The middle-aged man sized up the young Ying Han. Ying Han also knew that he had been kidnapped. He glared at the two of them and was about to escape when he was grabbed by the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man laughed awkwardly.”As he spoke, he slapped Ying Han. A red handprint was imprinted on his yellowed face. A trace of blood flowed out from the corner of Ying Han's mouth.
The person sitting frowned and said,"What if it's broken? I still have to rely on him to make money. How about this, 30,000?"
The middle-aged man who was holding Ying Han also frowned and said,"Boss Zhou, this is too little. 50,000.”
"How about this, we both take a step back. 40,000 is the deal. If not, I'll find someone else.”Fatty said as he got up to leave.
"40,000 it is," the middle-aged man quickly said. Deal."
Ying Han watched indifferently as the two of them completed their transaction. Then, he was brought out by Fatty. The moment they stepped out of the door, Ying Han bit the fatty who was holding his hand and ran out frantically.
The bitten fatty covered his hand and looked at the two people standing at the door. He cursed,"Hurry up and chase after him. What are you doing? Do you still want me to explain this?”The two burly men at the door chased after Ying Han. Looking at the three people who had left, Fatty muttered,"F * ck, you're really wild. You'll suffer when you come back.”
Ying Han kept running like this, but how could a weak youth compare to the middle-aged man's stamina? In a short while, the two big men caught up to Ying Han, and one of them kicked Ying Han to the ground. Ying Han was kicked far away by the burly man.
At this moment, the three of them were not far away. An old man in white looked at Ying Han who was kicked away and muttered,"Another pitiful child. Forget it, forget it. Since I bumped into you, I'll save your life.”As he said that, the old man instantly stood in front of the two burly men and blocked the kick that the other burly man was about to kick Ying Han with one hand.
The two big men were shocked. One of them said viciously,"Old man, if you don't want to die, then don't mind your own business.”The old man looked at the two of them indifferently. In the blink of an eye, the old man flashed and instantly attacked, knocking the two of them down.
Ying Han, who was lying on the ground, looked at everything and thought, Was this the kung fu that they saw on TV?
Ying Han immediately stood up and knelt in front of the old man, saying,""Please accept me as your disciple."
The old man looked at Ying Han kneeling on the ground and said,"Get up first. Practicing martial arts was not something that ordinary people could endure. You'd better think about it carefully."
Ying Han, who was kneeling on the ground, said with a determined expression,"I believe I can endure hardship. Please accept me.”As he spoke, he kept kowtowing.
The old man shook his head helplessly and said,""Come back with me first. If you can't bear that kind of hardship, I'll send you home.”
From then on, Ying Han gritted his teeth and persevered through every arduous training.
The three people in the cafe thought about their own past, and no one disturbed the other.
In the underground room at South Bridge, Ying Jing sat by Yanfeng's bed, quietly looking at the pale-faced Yanfeng.
Ying Jing couldn't help but think of her uncle-master who had lost his internal energy to save Yanfeng and her master who had died to save Yanfeng.
Ever since Ying Xiao and Ying Jing could remember, they had been following their master. They had very little impression of their uncle-master. They only knew that their uncle-master would always come back one day, and on that day, they would have a long talk with their master in a room, and then leave the next day. When Uncle Master left, Master always looked sad.
The young Ying Jing looked at her uncle master's receding figure and then looked at her master. She asked in a child-like voice,""Master, why did Martial Uncle leave again? Did he not like living with Jing 'er? Why didn't he look for Jing 'er to play every time he came back?”
Old Man Ying shook his head, his face filled with kindness as he looked at the wide-eyed Ying Jing, who was filled with doubt, and said,""How could that be? Martial Uncle likes Jing 'er the most. It's just that Martial Uncle has been very busy recently and doesn't have time to play with Jing' er. Jing 'er, be good. Let's go and read those books with flowers and plants now, okay?”
"Yes." Ying Jing nodded, and her puzzled face turned into a smiling face.
Ying Jing didn't know why, but she liked to study the flowers and plants that her master planted since she was young. She always asked her master how those flowers and plants came about. How could he make them grow faster?
Ever since then, Old Man Ying had brought Ying Jing to read books about herbs every day.
In a villa in Nanhua City, Ying Mei looked at the black-robed man in front of him and said indifferently,""Xiao Bai called you over at this time. What's the matter?”
"Recently, a force unknown to us has infiltrated Nanhua City," the black-robed man said. Lord Bai guessed that " they " might already know the child's whereabouts. Please be careful."
"Alright, I understand. You can go back first.”Ying Mei said.
The black-robed man disappeared in a flash.
Ying Mei looked at the drizzle outside the window and thought of the night before his master left. He watched as his master's life force gradually dissipated, but he was helpless. He could not help but sigh.
Every time his master taught him, it was as if it was just yesterday.
Ying Mei had been a child from a single-love family since he was young. His parents were divorced and he had never seen his mother. He had lived with his father for as long as he could remember. Ying Mei's father was very good to him. He was dressed in branded clothes, but he felt that his father's love was inferior. His father remembered the numerous bills, but he couldn't remember Shadow Charm's birthday.
Under such circumstances, the shadow ghost, who had reached puberty, often quarreled with her father. After quarreling, she went out to the bar and even made a group of bad friends outside, often staying out all night.
Perhaps it was because the heavens had an unpredictable fate. Shadow Charm's father's business had closed down and he still owed a lot of debts. His father could not accept this blow and jumped off the building to commit suicide.
After learning what had happened to his father, Ying Mei could not help but be stunned. He began to look for his so-called "friends" from the past. However, when his friends heard about his situation, they all left him.
Shadow Succubus also felt that there was no point in living anymore. He felt very tired from being a debt collector every day. Just as he was about to commit suicide, an old man in white casual clothes stood in front of him and said coldly,"Do you think death can solve everything? Don't you care what others say about you after you die?”
"Then what should I do? Tell me, tell me!" Ying Mei roared. Father had left, but there were still so many people coming to collect debts every day. What's the point of me living?"
The old man shook his head and said indifferently,""If your father didn't tell me to take good care of you before he died, I wouldn't care about your life or death. I'll help you settle your debts. If you really want to die now, I won't care about you. Otherwise, come with me.”The old man said and turned to leave.
At that time, Shadow Charm didn't seem to care. Anyway, he had nothing now. Then, he followed the old man.
In the days that he lived with the old man, every training session made Ying Mei suffer. He had originally wanted to give up, but when he saw the old man's disappointed face, it was as if he could see his father's appearance every time he came home. Ying Mei gritted his teeth and persevered every time. From then on, there was no trace of rebellion, replaced by a resolute face.
Ying Mei, who was sitting in the hall, kept recalling.
In a certain room in the villa, Ying Lei was sitting on a large pink bed in a daze. Hanging on the front of the bed was a photo of the old man with a smile and tears in his eyes.
However, the tears in the photo were still stained with tears.
Looking at his master's smile in the photo, he remembered when he was young. Whenever he cried, his master would immediately make a face to make him laugh. At that time, Master's gaze was so kind.
But now, she could no longer see her master making funny faces to tease her. Thinking of this, Ying Lei's eyes began to moisten as she muttered," Master, Lei 'er is crying again. Why haven't you come to make Lei' er laugh? Master, Lei 'er misses you so much…"
Ying Xiao, who was about to knock on Ying Lei's door, heard Ying Lei's sobs and knew that Ying Lei must be thinking about her master. Ying Xiao, who had originally intended to chat with Ying Lei, also gave up on this idea. His hand that was raised in the air gradually withdrew. Shaking his head, he turned around and walked back to his room.
Ying Xiao looked at the souvenir he had bought for his master from overseas and couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat, his eyes filled with tears. He was already twenty-three years old and had lived with his master for twenty-one years, but he had not even seen his master for the last time…
The seven people from Shadow Sect were all reminiscing about their past with their Master.
It was still raining in Nanhua City.
