Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

Chapter 402 When will the cycle of revenge end? Blind Half-Immortal

Same fate as Meng Jingye?

Doesn't that mean your whole body is covered with snake scales and you become like a snake!

I looked down at my scarred right hand.

The image of myself covered with snake scales appeared in my mind.

That horrible look made me extremely sick.

I shook my head vigorously to get rid of the imagined picture.

Do not!

You can’t turn into a scaly ghost!

It’s all Meng Jingwei’s fault!

If he hadn't stuffed the snake skin into me, it wouldn't have dissolved into my skin and scales wouldn't have grown on my right hand!

I grabbed Meng Jingwei's collar and pulled him hard.

He stumbled and almost fell into me.

"You bastard!"

"You know that the snake skin given by Camel Master will make me grow scales, right?!"

"You're afraid of your whole family dying, so you're just going to trick me like this, right?!"

"Believe it or not, I will chop off your head right now!"

"If I carry your head again, I'll chop off the heads of your entire family!"

I was extremely angry.

Because Meng Jingwei's words and actions were enough to prove that he knew it would take time for the snake skin to dissolve into my skin.

Knowing that snake shedding will make me grow scales!

Just now, he stopped me from watching the snake shedding at his house just to delay time!

Meng Jingwei closed his eyes and smiled miserably.

Act as if you are at my mercy.

"If killing me can make you feel better, then do it."

Meng Jingwei stretched his neck and looked up at the sky.

Like a rooster waiting to be slaughtered, she completely exposed her throat to me.

Just pick up a kitchen knife and slash his throat, and he will die in an instant.

Meng Jingwei continued as if resigned to his fate: "But, things are under the rule of the underworld."

"Let's not involve our family in the feud between us."

"After all, when will the cycle of revenge end?"

The last sentence, "When will the cycle of revenge end?", has a hidden meaning.

It is said that the original people in the underworld were very disciplined and would not bring harm to their families even if there were frictions and fights.

Later, a very congming person started to break the rules and took advantage of people's weaknesses to bring harm to their families, hence the term "cut the grass at its roots" came into being.

Although we want to eradicate the enemy completely, various accidents are inevitable, allowing a few people from the other family to escape.

When those who escape grow up, they will come back with all their strength to take revenge.

After several generations of this, everyone realized that this killing would never end.

So the slogan "When will the cycle of revenge end?" was raised.

Although Meng Jingwei acted as if he was ready to be killed by me, he didn't want to die at all.

The phrase "When will the cycle of revenge end?" is meant to make me think about what to do with my family.

Yeah, what about my grandpa?

Killing Meng Jingwei would be more satisfying.

But I will become a murderer, and grandpa will definitely not be able to bear this blow.

Not to mention that the Meng family is large in number and powerful.

Even if Meng Jingwei's entire family was killed, he still had many cousins.

They will also try every possible way to take revenge on my grandfather...

I took a deep breath.

Try hard to suppress the anger in your heart.

The hand that was grabbing Meng Jingwei's collar slowly loosened.

Meng Jingwei opened his eyelids slightly.

Stared at me for two seconds.

Only after he was sure that I had really calmed down did he step back.

Retreating to the kitchen door, Meng Jingwei said cautiously: "What I did was not authentic."

"I feel really sorry for you."

"But I was forced to do so."

"Don't worry, I will definitely take extra care of your grandfather."

"If something happens to you and you can't come back..."

"Ahem, it means if the worst happens."

"I will definitely take care of your grandfather until the end of his life!"

At this time, I calmed down completely.

I thought I had to arrange for someone to take care of my grandfather in his old age and see him to the end of his life.

But this person is definitely not Meng Jingwei!

Who should be assigned?

Cui Hao and the others are also going to Blackwater City.

Although they are allowed to act in secret, the risks are still considerable.

We have to find someone who is trustworthy and who won’t go to Blackwater City.

After thinking about it, I could only think of Ai Wuzhuang and Jiang Nan.

They are absolutely reliable.

However, Jiang Nanlao is young and stubborn, so he is not suitable.

Ai Wuzhuang is an excellent candidate.

It seems I have to go to Ai Wuzhuang to ask for help tomorrow morning.

Ask her about Zhang Nan's news.

I lowered my eyelids and took the spoon and chopsticks.

As he passed by Meng Jingwei, he said, "There's no need to take care of him until his death."

"You just need to take good care of my grandpa."

Meng Jingwei followed me with a smile: "I will definitely take good care of you."

Returned to the main room.

I first scooped a bowl of soup for grandpa.

Then scoop it out to Meng Jingwei.

By the time I had scooped up my bowl of soup, Meng Jingwei was already talking about sending me on a business trip.

"Uncle, Captain Huang from the geological survey team that came to our village took a liking to your Shitou kid."

"Let your Stone Boy accompany the team to do clerical work."

"As long as you perform well, you can get a stable job!"

"Once you have a city hukou, you'll be able to eat commercial grain!"

At that time, the villagers dreamed of getting a city hukou.

Obtaining a city household registration means having food coupons, meat coupons, cloth coupons, and oil coupons.

You can use the tickets to buy grain, oil, meat and daily necessities at low prices, so you don’t have to worry about food and clothing.

People with rural household registration do not have these and rely entirely on luck for their livelihood.

If the harvest is poor in a bad year, it may be impossible to guarantee even 100 kilograms of grain per capita per year.

Only corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, pumpkins, etc. can be used as staple foods.

At that time, if a farmer could transfer his household registration to the city and eat commercial grain, it would bring honor to his family.

He is the one who can sit at the head table during the New Year’s Eve dinner.

When my grandfather heard that there was a position that could allow him to transfer his household registration to the city, his eyes lit up instantly.

He immediately said, "Wow! What an opportunity!"

"God is compensating you!"

"I must perform well in front of Captain Huang and strive to stay in the geological exploration team!"

I deliberately hesitated and said, "Master, the geological exploration team will leave tomorrow and go to the north to continue the exploration."

"I left with them and I don't know when I can go home."

"I'm worried about you staying home alone."

Grandpa gently patted the back of my hand with his left hand.

He grinned and said, "What's there to worry about?"

"My Lord is in very good health."

"Working in the fields is so frustrating!"

"Just go with the geological survey team."

"Only when you live a good life can I be completely relieved!"

As the saying goes: Parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run.

Good parents will plan their children's future life path early on.

My grandfather had gone to great lengths to find Professor Zhang to teach me, as he was planning for my future.

Now, I am also making long-term plans for me.

Tears blurred my vision unknowingly.

I am fortunate to have a grandfather who loves me, cares for me, and has long-term plans for me.

If it weren’t for my grandfather’s love, I really don’t know how bleak my life would be.

"Master!"

I threw myself into my grandfather's arms and burst into tears.

Grandpa held me in his right hand and patted my back gently with his left hand.

He coaxed me like he did when I was a kid: "Boys should go out and see the world."

"You can't stay inside forever, or you'll become a frog in a well."

"Don't worry about me. Grandpa is looking forward to seeing you get married and have children, and to holding my great-grandchildren."

I wiped away my tears and got out of my grandfather's arms.

"Master, I will report to the geological survey team tomorrow morning."

"Uncle Meng, please take good care of my grandfather."

Meng Jingwei patted his chest and said, "It will be an honor for our whole village if you go to the geological survey team to serve the country."

"On behalf of the village, I want to say that we in Yagou Village will definitely take good care of your grandfather."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door from the yard.

Then Cui Hao shouted: "Brother, I'm back!"

I quickly got up and went to the yard to open the door.

As soon as I opened half of the door, Cui Hao winked at me mysteriously.

"My aunt asked an unexpected question!"

"Your mother abandoned you because of the fortune-telling of a blind immortal!"

"That hexagram seems to be related to Blackwater City!"
