Yin Yang Rogue

  "Come on, Dad! I'm really going to get something to save people. If you're a good person, then come with me. But the key is, you're not. Don't you still have those two brushes in your heart? If we're late, someone will die!"

  The old man is going to scold again, I listened from the side and figured out what's going on. This fat guy must have encountered something and knows that his old man isn't capable of doing anything, relying solely on the word "cheat" to get by. So he wants to use some real stuff to deal with it, I hastily interrupted: "What exactly happened? You speak first, let Master listen, we'll work together to come up with a plan, just being anxious won't solve anything."

  That fatty rushed at me in a huff: "Isn't it all because of you? Hurry up and let me take my stuff away, the sooner the better. Why must you keep quarreling with us here?"

  However, he also knew that the old master would not give it to him easily. He sat down in a huff on the nearby armchair and said, "Dad, just tell me if you'll lend this thing to me or not. I'm telling you, I need it to save someone. I'll return it to you after I use it. If you don't lend it to me, I won't come back again."

  As soon as this was said, Lao Shen's nose was twisted with anger, and he pointed at Baozi, scolding him while jumping up and down. For a long time, not a single sentence was repeated. It can be seen that his foundation is solid and he has practiced diligently. I think it won't work if we continue like this, so after thinking for a moment, I opened my mouth to say:

  "Master, I think he must be really anxious about something. Jiang Yuan is not young anymore and knows what's important. Why don't you listen to him and see what's going on? Just in case there's really danger, we can also think of a solution."

  Listen to me, the old fellow grunted twice and stopped talking. Which father wouldn't worry about his son being in danger? The fat guy next to him looked at me a few more times: "It's something that happened at my brother's house."

  "Liango Yuhao? That good-for-nothing friend of yours? What does his trouble have to do with you?"

  "Hurry up and say: 'Master, still listen to him finish speaking, who does not have one or two brothers with feelings? Can all understand.'"

  As I said that, my heart moved again. I thought of my good brothers before going up the mountain, Crazy, Sun Chenlong, Monkey, Ma Zhuang... How have you been all these years?

  I held back from thinking about those things, and shifted my attention back to the present. I saw that Fatty's attitude towards me had improved significantly. It seemed like he had a few more points of affection for me.

  He said to me, "It's like this. Liang Yuhao has been my buddy since high school till now. We used to fight together, skip classes together, and get punished together. At that time, I broke a girl's MP3 player, and he was with me when we ate mantou (steamed buns) for a month to save money to compensate the owner."

  It seems that Lao Shennong is about to start scolding again, so I quickly turned the topic around: "Hmm, what's going on with this incident you mentioned?"

  The fat man finally let out a sigh and told the whole story from beginning to end.

  It turned out that something had happened to Liang Yuhao's elder sister's family. The Liang family was not local, and they had an elder sister named Liang Hongyu. In the past, when attending parent-teacher conferences, it was always Hongyu who came, so everyone knew her.

  A few days ago, Liang Yuhao received a call from his brother-in-law, asking him to call and chat with his sister when he had time. Liang Yuhao asked what was wrong, what happened? Why didn't his brother-in-law say anything? Later, Yuhao remembered that it was Friday and he didn't have class, so he took the train home early. After returning home, he didn't find anything out of the ordinary, the children were all there. It's just that Hongyu sister seemed to have something on her mind, looking depressed, went to see her mother, her mother's body was also good, no illness or disaster.

  Then he observed for two days, if it must be said that there was something wrong, it was just that his little niece wasn't quite right.

  The first night, Liang Yuhao and Hong Yu's sister stayed at their mother's house, nothing happened. The second day, Saturday, they went back to Hong Yu's sister's house. During the day at Hong Yu's sister's house, Liang Yuhao found that his little niece had become a bit cold, usually the little girl loved to talk and laugh, but now she was always silent and didn't speak.

  Xiaoyao used to be very close to Liang Yuhao, and he would bring her back all sorts of delicious treats and fun things from the city. She would always excitedly run over to stick with him. But this time, she didn't seem interested in the snacks Liang Yuhao brought out either.

  It's nothing, kids always get emotional, it's normal. That same night, Saturday midnight, heard a big commotion in the kitchen, and Liang Yuhao ran out, saw Hong Yu sister and brother-in-law in the kitchen.

  Hong Yu's face was a bit unnatural, her little niece was hiding in the kitchen corner, curled up there, don't know if she had cried. Her shoulders kept shaking. Her small face buried in her knees couldn't be seen either.

  Liangelo asked what was going on, and his sister told him it was nothing, just that his little niece was hungry and had sneaked into the kitchen to eat something in the middle of the night. She couldn't let her develop this bad habit, so she had scolded her for a while. And then she told Liangelo to go back to sleep quickly. But Liangelo still felt like there was something off about his little niece, and he paid special attention to her the next day. Sure enough, whenever his little niece looked at anyone, her eyes were cold as ice. She didn't seem like a child at all.

  But on Monday, Liang Yuhao had class and didn't have time to figure out what was going on. Anyway, there's only one more week before summer break starts. So he could only head back to school first.

  Back at school, Liang Yuhao told Jiang Paozi the whole story from start to finish. Jiang Paozi had grown up watching his father run a martial arts studio and although he knew his father was a scammer, he had seen and heard many strange things since childhood, so he asked Liang Yuhao to recall in detail some of the things his little niece had done.

  Liang Yuhao hesitated and said, "Could it be that the little girl had received some kind of stimulation and then became mentally dark and rebellious?"

  When Jiang heard Liang Yuhao describe his little niece's eyes, he felt that something was not right. After thinking about it for a moment, he said, "It's absolutely not that simple, this matter is not right."

  Liang Yuhao's heart skipped a beat when he heard Jiang Paozi say this, and he asked Jiang Paozi what he meant. Had he sensed something? But Jiang Paozi just said that it felt like she had been possessed by an evil spirit. Something was wrapped around his young daughter.

  This remark scared Liang Yuhao, who initially thought that his little niece had been stimulated in some way. He didn't expect to suddenly come up with the idea of being possessed by an evil spirit. He immediately panicked and asked Jiang Paozi with a crying tone what to do?

  Jiang Pangzi patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid, brother. My old man has a treasure that can ward off evil spirits. I'll bring it back for you later. Don't worry, I've got this."

  So, Jiang Paozi took the matter on himself, but he also knew clearly in his heart that with Old Godly's temper, it was impossible to get the hand bead from him. So, he thought of coming over early and taking advantage of Old Godly's drowsiness after just waking up, making a quick move under his eyelids to "open the sky window"!

  Never thought I'd run into you!

  The old man was furious and jumped up, opening his mouth to scold: "You little rabbit, you see everything as being possessed by evil spirits. I'm the one who opened this school, and you're always getting free work from me. You haven't even seen the person, but you're already talking about being possessed, and now you want to send away my precious thing? You really are a filial child!"

  Jiang Pangzi didn't show weakness, pouting and saying: "You opened a martial arts school and you're also an old cheat. When my classmate's family had trouble, you went through the motions, what was the result? They still made a fuss as they should have, and you couldn't even do free work well, so isn't taking money just relying on cheating?"

  I suddenly got a headache and said in the same tone as Lao: "You two, stop arguing, let's solve this matter first."

  The old man was so angry that he finally threw out a sentence: "Anyway, I'm not going, whoever wants to go can go. Baby, I absolutely won't give it to him."

  Hearing Lao Sheng say this, Jiang Pangzi became anxious: "Then what about the promise I made to others?"

  The old man said: "You love to do whatever you want, anyway it's what you promised, not me. In a family like that, how much money can he take out? You know, the other day an old man came over and Fang Xian directly earned 7,000 yuan for me, what about you? Besides being a spendthrift, what else can you do?"

  Jiang Pangzi was about to jump up, but then he heard the sound behind him. He turned his eyes and stared at me. He coughed twice and said: "Are you Fang Ge? My dad won't go, or... will you go with me? My dad doesn't trust me with the pearl, but if you hold it, he should be at ease, right?"

  I was stunned, how did this get dragged to my head? But after hearing what Jiang Paozi said earlier, I also had some worries. What if it's really evil, and the whole family will suffer. I wanted to help, so I looked up at Lao Shenbing.

  The old man grunted twice: "Fang Xian and you can go, but as for Zhu Zi's matter... there is no door!"

  "I thought for a moment and said, 'How about this? Why don't I go with you first to confirm whether it's really possessed or not, then we can talk. You'll also have an explanation to give your classmates. If it's really possessed, we can come back for the pearl later, okay?"

  Jiang Pangzi was like a deflated balloon, and there was no other way out. Liang Yuhao was still waiting for him, and the method I proposed at this time was also the only compromise. In this way, I packed up my things, changed into casual clothes, took another portable bag from the dojo, carried my own stuff, and the two of us left the dojo like this.

  It wasn't until I was on my way again that I learned some things about Liang Yuhao's family situation. The Liang family is from a rural area in Hebei, and they live in Beijing for school. Their family conditions are not good. His father died early, and his mother has been supporting the two of them by doing odd jobs. Because the family didn't have enough money to support both children going to school, Hongyu dropped out of school early.

  Hong Yu's sister went out to work and earn money, and together with her mother, she supported Yu Hao until he went to university. Hong Yu's sister was at the age of marriage, so she found a husband in the countryside and got married. Her brother-in-law is a good person, honest and kind, selling some animal feed and fertilizers, and their life has just started to get better over the past two years. A few years ago, they also had a little niece. Who would have thought that after only two years of good days, they would encounter such a thing.

  Jiang Pangzi talked to me about his and Liang Yuhao's stories on the road, that kind of life where they went crazy together, made trouble together, fought together and got punished together, it made me feel a lot. It reminded me of five years ago, those brothers who lived and died with me.

  I remember before going up the mountain, my master pointed at that group of crazy brothers and asked me: "To go to Mount Zhongnan with me for ascetic practice, can you let these...go?"

  "My answer at the time was: 'Cannot, cannot give up, do not want to give up, and also do not understand why I should give up. The word "love" is born from the heavenly way, if human way has no love, how can the heavenly way exist?'"

  Finally, Master sighed: "You have broken through your fate, the barrier of life and death, and the cycle of reincarnation, but in the end, you cannot break free from the word 'emotion'!"

  So I can understand and empathize with Jiang Pao's feelings towards his brother, because I also have a brother like that. I also have those kind of feelings, that kind of selfless and sincere emotions.

  Cutting to the chase, I arrived at the long-distance bus station with Fatso. Liang Yuhao was already waiting there early. This big boy wore a simple sportswear, his skin was dark and strong. He looked like a child from the countryside who had suffered hardships. Seeing us coming over, he hurriedly came up to ask about the situation.
