Master Hui didn't speak for a long time, as if his thoughts had flown back to his hot-blooded youth. With a solemn expression, he said after a while,"Actually, not many people know about my background. I've never mentioned it to anyone.”
This sentence aroused Yang Yiming's curiosity even more." Then why don't you tell me your story?”
Master Hui retracted his thoughts and said cheerfully,"Young people are always curious about the unknown. Actually, it's nothing much. Let's wait for the next chance! Since you're here, ask Jun Yue to cook a few good dishes for us. We can be considered friends regardless of age. Let's have a few drinks?”
Yang Yiming looked a little disappointed, but he immediately retracted his curiosity and said,"Yes! Listen to the general and drink a few cups with us.”Yang Yiming immediately turned around and smiled at Shen Junyue.""Then it's been hard on Sister Junyue!"
Shen Junyue smiled and didn't say a word. She turned around and went into the kitchen to get busy.
"Yiming! Come! Come and sit. When I was young, I learned feng shui and life. Come, Master Hui, let me read your palm.”Master Hui waved at Yang Yiming with a faint smile.
Yang Yiming sat down and stretched out his left hand with a suspicious expression. "General, the study of fortune telling is not trustworthy! There's no scientific basis." Yang Yiming said reluctantly.
"The study of fate and Feng Shui has been highly praised by Daoists and Confucians for thousands of years.”Master Hui placed Yang Yiming's hand in his palm." Aiya! What you have now is not what you want. Moreover, your lifeline is the most peculiar. There were a few breaks in the middle, but the most powerful one was when you were about thirty-five years old.”As he spoke, Master Hui looked at Yang Yiming, who was sitting next to him, with a loving gaze." Yang Yiming, you have to be careful. Pay more attention to your body in the future. It looks like you will have a serious illness in the future."”
"Master Hui, it's better if you don't look at it. You said that I'm afraid.”Yang Yiming said this, but in his heart, he thought,"How can there be such a magical thing? Fortune telling is all a trick of the martial arts world. Even if there is one, it has been lost.”
"No, I can't! No! Your career line has the aura of a king. Looking at your face, you also have the face of an ambitious person of a generation.”Master Hui said sadly.
The corners of Yang Yiming's mouth curled up, and his eyebrows raised slightly. He smiled and said,"Master Hui, I'm very lucky! Fortune telling is only for ordinary people, but I'm special!”
Yang Yiming thought to himself, I didn't expect the former underworld boss of the dignified X County to believe in fate so much. Sigh! Maybe he's really old?" Yang Yiming shook his head slightly.
Master Hui noticed Yang Yiming's subtle movements." Young man! It was just that there was a drive, but no matter what a person did, they could not defy the heavens. No matter how capable they were, if the heavens did not help them, they would still be unable to do anything.”
"Alright! Alright! You two men, stop arguing. You can eat now.”Shen Junyue walked over in quick steps. She was wearing an apron, looking like a housewife.
Yang Yiming hadn't felt the warmth of home for a long time. He couldn't accept this scene for a while. He was stunned for a while and seemed to be fixed there. Yang Yiming's heart thought of his father in his hometown far away in the countryside and his junior high school life.
Yang Yiming was busy cooking after school in junior high school. Yang Yiming's house used a stove made of earth. Every spring and summer, the whole house was filled with smoke. No matter how choking people were, they still had to cook. He always lit a fire under the stove and scooped a few spoons on the pot.
The food was always ready, but he was a painted cat. It had been a long time since Yang Yiming had eaten in such an environment. Other than in a restaurant, Yang Yiming had never eaten someone else's food for him.
"Yiming! Where are you standing? Let's go and serve the dishes together." Master Hui patted Yang Yiming's shoulder gently, stood up, and said to Shen Junyue, who had just finished her work,""Take out the 20-year-old liquor that I hid and drink a few cups with this young friend of mine.
Shen Junyue wiped the sweat off her forehead and said with a smile,""Sigh! I know. I'll go get it now.”He quickly got up to get it. Before he left, he said to Yang Yiming," This place is like your own home. Don't be reserved. Master Hui is open-minded and likes to be unrestrained. I'm the same."”
The three of them gathered at a square table." Come, I'll pour wine for the two of you. Yiming, you can eat whatever you like.”
"Sister Junyue, I'm not being reserved. You don't have to be polite either. You're making things awkward.”Shen Junyue filled two cups of wine and brought them to Master Hui and Yang Yiming. Yang Yiming said," Sister Junyue, I'll do it myself. You can eat!"”
"It doesn't matter. It's not like you have the chance to eat here every day. You've already called me sister. How can I not dote on you, my younger brother?”
"Come! Master Hui, let me give you a toast. I hope that your body will always be this strong and that you can watch me slowly mature and grow stronger.”Yang Yiming stood up and finished the wine in his glass.
Master Hui looked at Yang Yiming like a loving father looking at his son." Alright! Good!" He nodded and laughed heartily as he finished a glass of wine.
At this moment, Master Hui thought of the war-torn years. If it weren't for the war, he would have lost his parents, wife, and children in order to live a difficult life. No matter how good it was in a foreign land, it was still a foreign land. Looking at Yang Yiming, he thought of his son, who was only five or six years younger than him.
"Sigh! He was old. If he was still alive, he would be in his forties, right? Time really was like quicksand, slipping away slowly through the gaps between his fingers.”Master Hui looked at the wine that Shen Junyue had filled up again and sighed.
Yang Yiming seemed to have heard this subtle voice very clearly." Master Hui, who are you talking about? Do you think you have a child too?”As he spoke, Yang Yiming looked at Shen Junyue, wanting to get confirmation from her.
Shen Junyue shook her head slightly." Yiming, don't look at me. I don't know Master Hui's past either.”"Didn't you guys want to get drunk?" Shen Junyue laughed again. Keep drinking, don't talk."
Master Hui leaned his head against the chair, closed his eyes, and put down the wine glass he had just picked up. The corner of his mouth twitched, and a little tear seemed to slowly fall from the corner of his eyes. After a moment, he said,"Yes, sir! He was only ten years old when he left me. In order to survive, for those brothers, I lost my wife and children.”
"Master Hui, then your surname is Li too. What's your full name?”Yang Yiming's curiosity was piqued again, and he asked with full curiosity.
"You're really curious, aren't you? No one here knows my full name. Forget it, let's drink?”Master Hui raised his wine glass." Drink up, just like how you drink up the past. You'll never think about the past again."”
Looking at Master Hui's ruddy, slightly melancholic face, Yang Yiming could only temporarily suppress his excited curiosity and say,""Okay, let's drink. We don't want to think about the unhappy things in the past. Forgetting is happiness.”This time, Yang Yiming didn't stand up after drinking because he knew that Master Hui was also a sentimental person and didn't like too many worldly courtesies.
However, at this time, Shen Junyue seemed to want to know Master Hui's background more than Yang Yiming." Master Hui, I'm your goddaughter. Can't I know your background too?"”
The three of them looked at each other, followed by Yang Yiming, who smiled evilly and said,"Oh! I know. Master Hui must think that it's inconvenient to tell outsiders here. Whether it's Master Hui or not, Master Hui doesn't need to say.”
"Who said that? There are no outsiders here. Yiming, you're my younger brother, which is equivalent to Master Hui's godson. What can't I say? We're all family. Can't we know what our father's name is?”Shen Junyue said relentlessly.
Yang Yiming saw that Shen Junyue's gaze seemed a little strange, like a little wife who had been wronged." Could it be that Shen Junyue has fallen in love with Master Hui, who is already past 60 years old? Interesting. Let's see how this ex-boss of the underworld in X County deals with privacy and the relationship between lovers?”
