Chapter 283 Talisman Water

"As far as I remember, our relationship could not be described as harmonious," Lou Yanchuan said. "Our relationship was quite bad."

"It's almost the same as never seeing each other again until death."

“He said your grandmother was a soul-collecting worker. In my memory, the other party was always in a closed room, with incomprehensible talismans and dolls made of some odds and ends.”

"I heard that this secret technique can only be passed down to daughters. Your father and I are not of the right gender, and neither of us possesses it."

"He was more honest, but I was more rebellious. I thought it was all just superstition, so I left home when I grew up."

"But we have a pretty good relationship."

Lou Yanchuan looked at Yan Xun, this information also came to his mind along with the conversation at the dinner table.

“You also think those things are feudal superstition, so you never go to Grandma’s room.”

"Your dad beat you a lot because of this."

"So before I left home, you often came to my room."

“I told you where I wanted to go, and you said you wanted to go too when you grew up,” Lou Yanchuan recounted slowly. “Of course, afterwards your dad said I was corrupting you and told me to talk to you less.”

"We sent you to a boarding school."

“I’m away from home most of the year. Although I don’t like the work here, I still send her money every month.” Lou Yanchuan said. “Later, when I returned to China, I found out that she was seriously ill.”

"Strangely enough, no one has been able to pinpoint the root cause of the problem."

"She looks perfectly normal, but her health is gradually getting worse."

“Your dad was very anxious and asked me if I had any money,” Lou Yanchuan said. “I gave him some money, thinking he was going to pay for medical bills.”

“He told me that the master said that with this money, my mother could be protected.”

"Master?" Yan Xun sensed something was amiss.

"Yes." Lou Yanchuan nodded. "He said that after drinking the talisman water given by the master, my mother's spirits improved a lot."

"...But didn't Grandma already know about this?" Yan Xun asked. "Is he a real master or a fraud?"

“Who knows?” Lou Yanchuan said. “In my memory, we had a huge fight. I said he was going crazy, still believing in feudal superstitions at this time.”

He said I didn't understand.

"We parted on bad terms."

“A friend of mine found a famous doctor for me, but the conclusion was still the same,” he told Yan Xun. “No matter what kind of examination I had, everything was normal, but I was getting weaker and weaker.”

"So my dad really fed me talisman water as breast milk?" Yan Xun looked incredulous.

He also felt that his father looked like someone who would shout "Down with feudal superstition!"

“It should be true,” Lou Yanchuan said. “However, I didn’t see that scene. I probably thought he was beyond saving, and I also had work to do, so I had to leave first.”

"I contacted him via voice and text message afterward, urging him to get to a larger hospital as soon as possible."

"The master is a fraud."

"Of course, he got so angry that he blocked me directly." Lou Yanchuan said, even wanting to call it absurd.

"My mom knows too?" Yan Xun asked.

“They should know,” Lou Yanchuan said.

"And what about me?" Yan Xun pointed to himself.

"You?" Lou Yanchuan shook his head. "I guess you don't know."

"Otherwise, they would definitely be yelling and telling your dad to get his head checked too."

He wanted his dad to get his head checked right now. Yan Xun wondered, "Could it be that the date on the calendar is the time to see the master?"

But his grandmother has been living in the nursing home for so long.

The search for the master was all before Lou Yanchuan broke his leg. Seeing that his grandmother's condition was not improving, would his parents continue to believe in the master and remain stubbornly deluded?

Or perhaps seeking out a master is a pretense, with ulterior motives at play.

“Whether she went to see the master or not, we have no way to go there to confirm,” Lou Yanchuan said. “We can only look for clues elsewhere.”

“But I see that you haven’t had any memory of it at all, so it’s possible that your parents did keep these things from you all along.”

“I remember that after my accident, your dad found out about me immediately, unblocked me, and contacted me.”

"Then they took me back."

"After that, I lived at your house, although your grandmother was no longer at home at that time."

"Is my dad really that generous and values ​​brotherhood?" Yan Xun asked. "How did he know you broke your leg?"

"Is an accident big news?"

"No, not many people know about it," Lou Yanchuan said. "Back then, we were a group of people who went to a certain ancient site."

“There are constant conflicts in that place, and many people go there with the thought that they will never come back.”

“We hired a lot of local bodyguards at the time. The others were fine except for not sleeping well and going hungry. I was just unlucky,” Lou Yanchuan said. “I fell off Stonehenge while looking at the relics that were supposedly left by prehistoric creatures one by one.”

"I was in a coma for several days, and my teammates all thought I was going to die."

"I didn't expect to survive. The local medical conditions were poor, so I eventually had to return to China for treatment." Lou Yanchuan pointed to his leg, "But my leg is no longer viable."

"How did my dad know you had an accident?" Yan Xun asked.

“He said it was a feeling between brothers. He suddenly felt very panicked and wanted to contact me, but he couldn’t reach me at all. In the end, it was my teammate who stayed there who answered the phone after charging up and told him about it.”

Lou Yanchuan smiled slightly. "Quite a brotherly bond, isn't it?"

"I have a feeling something's fishy." Yan Xun walked to Lou Yanchuan's side. "And then?"

“Then I found out that my mother was not at home. When I asked him, he said that my mother was staying at the Anxin Nursing Home, where her condition had been slightly relieved and she could now sit up and chat with people.”

"I said I wanted to go and see."

He said no.

"Mom isn't feeling well, and she knows you can't bear to see you sitting in a wheelchair."

"To avoid upsetting her, I'll wait and see."

Yan Xun nodded. "So you didn't go."

“They no longer lived in that building at that time,” Lou Yanchuan said. “That building didn’t have an elevator.” He looked at Yan Xun. “He deliberately prevented me from going there.”

Lou Yanchuan is completely unable to walk, and living in a walk-up apartment is practically equivalent to being under house arrest at home, unable to go anywhere.

“Didn’t you ask him why he stopped living in the old house?” Yan Xun said.

“He said that because he had spent a lot of money on his mother’s medical treatment, he had to sell the old house to pay off the debt.” Lou Yanchuan repeated Yan Xun’s father’s excuse, “Although the walk-up apartment is inconvenient, the rent is cheap, so I can only make do for a while.”

“The house isn’t very big,” Lou Yanchuan said, looking at Yan Xun. “So we’ll share a room.”

“Your dad said this way it will be easier for you to take care of me.”

Yan Xun was a little skeptical, "I didn't resist?"

“You resisted, and your dad said he’d cut off your allowance.” Lou Yanchuan said slowly, “He said your uncle is family, and family members should help each other and be united and loving.”

"Besides, with the money they receive, they can buy a new house and no longer have to live in this rented room."
