Chapter 45: Xiezhi [1]

Note: Xiezhi or haetae is a famous Chinese mythological animal which is believed to be able to distinguish between good and evil. It symbolizes justice. It is kind of an unicorn shaped as a lion. It has a short tail and dragon skin. It usually has horns. It can be seen all over China.

All the good-looking guys indeed have boyfriends

Ling Dang was afraid of light, so he sat in the back row. Pei Qing started the car. While driving, he listened attentively to what they were saying behind him. When he heard Ling Dang said that he would study hard in the future, his mouth would almost grin to the root of his ear.

Zhang Qiu’s eyes were almost blinded by the two men. He waved the Little Jiangshi to come over, leaving the arms of Pixian Hui Wang.

Little Jiangshi obediently sat down in Zhang Qiu’s arms and Pixian Hui Wang's face relaxed a little. Zhang Qiu knew that second's wife was fond of Xiao Jiang, but after all he was not the one carrying the child. It’s tiring to keep coaxing Xiao Jiang to play.

“Daddy, are you going to big brother Hua Hua's house?”

“En.” Zhang Qiu held his son’s soft, ice-cold body; truly a summer heat-relief sacred tool. Xiao Jiang’s face was so adorable that his Daddy rubbed and pinched him. He’s excited to see big brother Hua Hua’s soon. He had a gift to give to big brother Hua Hua.

It wasn’t long before they arrived at Hua Ting and Lu Feng’s house. Hua Ting had been discharged from the hospital. Maybe it was because the array had been broken and with Li Shu’s blood, his body was better than when they last met. Lu Feng was in a good mood. Everyone greeted each other. Hua Ting noticed the child in Li Shu’s arms and asked in surprise, “Xiao Jiang? It’s so big all of a sudden!”

Zhang Qiu nodded. He really did not know how to explain Xiao Jiang’s sudden grow. Since coming out of the tomb of Emperor Hui of Jin Dynasty in Luoyang, he later asked and Xiao Jiang spoke not nimbly: it’s like meeting something in a fantasy. Li Shu, who had seen that, said it was not a problem.

Xiao Jiang liked to be told that he had grown up. With his chest was raised high and his teeth were exposed, he happily said, “Uncle, where is big brother Hua Hua?”

“Playing with Yang Bao in his room.”

Xiao Jiang looked up at Zhang Qiu piteously, and Zhang Qiu nodded. Xiao Jiang’s soft voice said to Li Shu, “Big Daddy, I want to go down to play with big brother!”

Li Shu put the little guy down. Xiao Jiang ran upstairs very familiarly to Hua Hua’s room with his short legs.

“Let the children play by themselves. I have something to tell you.” Hua Ting also asked the nanny to send some juices and cakes to the children upstairs. Then he went to the living room. On the tea table, a stack of information was distributed to everyone. “This is what I translated from the coffin in the tomb of the General in Shandong. I don’t know if it will help you.”

Hua Ting had no memory of his past live. For him, the tomb of the General in Shandong was a tomb of a stranger, not too deeply impressed on him. But when he translated this paragraph, he felt like empathizing with the general’s fear at the time of his death

“The general was sealed in alive. Gou Wang, the king at that time was also there. He heard some words, which thereupon remained on the coffin, but the handwriting was messy and there was no art of composition in the later period. It can be seen that the general should have been unable to hold up at that time.” Hua Ting paused. “I checked the information he left and deduced it.”

Li Shu and Pixian Hui Wang were not used to Simplified Chinese. Hua Ting explained the content on the side. “There is an old saying that the longer the body is laid out after death, which does not decay into white bone, the more energy the body contains, which when eat, the longer it can prolong life. At that time, Guo Wang had already begun this idea. And he’s collecting ancient bloodline mythological animals, trying to get rid of this method of eating departed soul's flesh to prolong life, but I don’t know the specific of how to use it.”

Zhang Qiu couldn’t help thinking of Jin LaoDa and Su WanTing. If some really wanted to live several years longer, it’s better to die early than to be this ghost-looking human.

In fact, Li Shu had already speculated about these informations, but Hua Ting’s words were more certain.

“If this method really prolongs life span, will the person behind the scene be that Guo Wang you mentioned?” Pei Qing suddenly asked.

“No way, it’s almost 4,000 years old –” Zhang Qiu's word halted, thinking that Li Shu was not the same, but saying this also was not true.

Ling Dang looked at several people very cautiously and asked in a low voice, “Are you talking about Su WanTing’s father?”

“Not this person.” Pei Qing’s grave and stern face turned somewhat mild, rubbing Ling Dang’s head. “It’s another person.”

Zhang Qiu suddenly thought of something and said, “Ling Dang reminder is right. Su WanTing, like Jin LaoDa, was sent by the person behind the scene. Jin LaoDa once said that it was the person whom he met seven years ago in Mongolia. Seven years ago, Su WanTing was about 11 years old, but it seemed that Su WanTing knew the person behind earlier. At that time, Su WanTing was only eight or nine years old, even if she was very knowledgeable, her guardian should be there, who should still be able to detect something wrong.”

“Go and ask Su Zhicai for information.” Pixian Hui Wang said immediately.

Su Zhicai wanted to settle down in Beijing and make extensive contacts. Since the last auction, many business cards had been sent out. Lu Feng had received one, which after listening to Pixian Hui Wang; he went and searched for Su Zhicai’s business card. He dialed the numbers but it had not been answered.

Lu Feng hung up and dialed for a second time. This time, after a few moments, someone answered the phone. Lu Feng had opened the speaker.

“Hello, who are you looking for?”

It was the voice of a young man. Lu Feng looked at the phone number, and confirmed that he dialed it correctly. He asked for Su Zhicai.

“My Dad's not in. What you are looking for him for, I can convey to him.”

Wait a minute! Su Zhicai’s son had already died. Zhang Qiu’s mind was a bit confused. Su WanTing said in person that it was her who killed. Who on earth answered on the other end of the phone?

The living room quieted down in an instant; it's kind of a bit weird.

There was a murmur, only to hear the voice saying, 'Dad, someone is looking for you, your phone rang'. The sound of the telephone being handed over soon replaced with an old man's voice; 'who is looking for me'. Lu Feng reported his name; the other end was stunned for a moment, as if he didn’t know who Lu Feng was.

It’s only ten days from the auction. How could it be forgotten so soon? Zhang Qiu felt a little weird. He looked at Lu Feng, who had already talked about the auction. The other end was quiet for a moment, as if he didn’t know the auction.

“So your daughter, Su WanTing’s business –”

“Sorry, you may have dialed the wrong number. I don’t have any daughters. I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Lu Feng looked at the crowd, holding the hang-up phone. “You heard it, too.”

Zhang Qiu also remembered, at the auction, there was someone that boot-licking Su Zhicai, and praising Su WanTing. Su Zhicai also showed a happy expression. It was only ten days since they saw him. Su Zhicai, like a changed man, forgot Su WanTing and there was also the son of Su Zhicai, who was dead, resurrected.

Zhang Qiu suddenly thought of the slave that was brought back from Changsha, and then of Hua Ting’s saying of eating corpse and departed soul's flesh. At first, he thought Su WanTing had prepared it for herself. Now it seemed that this was not the case. Su Zhicai should know something too.

Li Shu said, “We’ll meet Su Zhicai sometime.”

It was late. The adults finished talking in the living room. Little Jiangshi, playing on the second floor, followed Hua Hua and Yang Bao down and shouted that he was hungry. Hua Ting looked and said, “Eat first.”

After dinner, Lu Feng wanted to send Yang Bao home. Xiao Jiang was reluctant to part with him. Zhang Qiu thought that he should accompany his son for a walk just after dinner. So the family took over the task of sending Yang Bao back home.

Yang Bao was outgoing and not afraid of students. He lived in a villa not far away. Xiao Jiang followed Yang Bao in front. Li Shu and Zhang Qiu followed slowly and listened to the two boys chatting there.

It’s all Yang Bao’s talking about kindergarten friends and so on. Little Jiangshi, with a face looking like a bumpkin asked Yang Bao what kindergarten was. When he heard that there were many children in it, Little Jiangshi’s eyes were shining.

Zhang Qiu nudged Li Shu’s elbow. “Should Xiao Jiang go to kindergarten?”

“As long as you are happy.” Li Shu didn’t care much about Xiao Jiang going to kindergarten.

“You are such a father!” Zhang Qiu roasted a sentence, but looking at the son's bean sprout size, after thinking about it, he decided to put it off. Wait for the next spring to send him to the kindergarten, near his school seemed to have…

While walking, they already reached Yang Bao's home. Zhang Qiu heard Yang Bao calling a good-looking man 'Daddy', he was relieved. In a flash, he saw his own son straight ahead stared at Yang Bao’s Daddy, which was worse than drooling. Zhang Qiu wanted to cover his face. Was his expression the same as Xiao Jiang’s expression when he was facing Li Shu?

Could not stand to watch it.

After declining the other's invitation to drink tea at their home, Zhang Qiu, Li Shu and Xiao Jiang went back. They saw an especially flashy red supercar coming towards them from the distant. Zhang Qiu took two steps inside the road line, but he didn’t expect that the car that had just been speeding braked suddenly and stopped beside them.

The window slid down, revealing an unusually devilish face, which winked at them.

Zhang Qiu had never seen such a devilish looking man. The other person whistled, especially in a romantic manner. He leaned on the car's window lazily with chin in one hand. “How about this long-haired beauty leaves a phone number?”

！！！

Zhang Qiu was stunned for a while before he responded. The man seemed to be talking to Li Shu. This was the first time it happened, but he was not angry. On the contrary, he felt admiration for the brave man. When he saw Li Shu for the first time, he was captivated by Li Shu’s face, but did not dare to tease him.

But admiration belongs to admiration. Zhang Qiu pointed at Li Shu and said with a smile, “This man already has the Lord.”

When the other person heard it, he scanned his eyes up and down at Zhang Qiu and Li Shu, and then shrugged his shoulders. “All the good-looking guys indeed have boyfriends.”

Zhang Qiu was so pleased that his heart sang by the other person’s words. It seemed that the eyes of the masses were sharp. Lo and behold, in front of outsiders, his status and image were still very high.

“My name is QiXi. I live not far away. Come and play some other day.” The other person laughed wickedly. His eyes fell on the little Jiangshi in Li Shu’s arms, and flashily threw over a flying kiss. “Little cutie, salute.”

The car restarted and quickly disappeared from Zhang Qiu’s view.

This man really had a disease, but the diseases were quite unrestrained and cute. Zhang Qiu took two steps and suddenly responded, “QiXi? Is that the [Qixi] Seven Up I met at the airport?”

Li Shu nodded indifferently. Zhang Qiu wanted to laugh especially when he recalled the giggling of QiXi’s fans. This stalk could wrap up his laughing stocks for a year.
