Origin Chapter 32: Unfortunate Master


Since it is decided to go back, the next thing to think about is how to go back.

However, this question can be left for tomorrow. After so many things happened in one day, Wu Zhongyuan was tired long ago. He got up and went to the toilet, and then he went back to sleep.

In the early morning of the next day, Wang Jize woke him up. This guy backtracked and didn't dare to go to Wan Shanhai alone, and wanted to take him as his companion.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't get enough sleep, so impatiently pushed Wang Jize away, took the phone and checked the time, and found that it was not yet eight o'clock, and it was going to be a holiday tomorrow.

Not long after, someone came in.

"Why are you back?" Wu Zhongyuan only returned when Wang Jize had gone.

The visitor walked over to the table in front of the window without saying a word and took an apple to chew on.

"Why are you here? This is the men's dormitory." Although Wu Zhongyuan still didn't turn around, he knew it was Wang Xinran, because Wang Xinran smoked and smelled of smoke.

"Routine check to see if you have escaped." Wang Xinran was carefree.

Seeing that he could no longer sleep, Wu Zhongyuan rolled over and sat up, putting on his sweater, "Is it yours who came to rummage through my things yesterday?"

"Sorry, they thought you ran away." Wang Xinran disagreed.

"I won't run, you should go," Wu Zhongyuan urged people, "this is the men's dormitory, it's not good to be seen by others."

Wang Xinran not only did not leave, but instead pulled the chair and sat down, chewing the apple, "How are you thinking?"

"What?" Wu Zhongyuan asked rhetorically.

"Stop pretending to be confused, have you thought about it, do you want to join us?" Wang Xinran asked.

"Oh, that's it." Wu Zhongyuan yawned.

Wang Xinran glanced at Wu Zhongyuan and continued to eat apples.

"Can you go out first?" Wu Zhongyuan said.

"Why?" Wang Xinran frowned.

Wu Zhongyuan sighed helplessly, "I want to wear pants."

"There are so many things to do." Wang Xinran stood up reluctantly,

Waiting for Wang Xinran to go out, Wu Zhongyuan lifted the quilt, put on his trousers, took the washbasin and washing supplies and went to the bathroom to wash.

Wang Xinran followed, leaning against the wall of the corridor and looking at Wu Zhongyuan.

From time to time, male classmates came out to go to the toilet wearing pants, and when they saw Wang Xinran, they hurried back to the dormitory.

"Can you be more careful?" Wu Zhongyuan was very helpless, "Go back to the dormitory and wait for me, don't stand here."

"Be careful sailing the ship for ten thousand years. The more you get to the end, the easier it is to get into trouble. From now on, I have to be inseparable with you." Wang Xinran lit a cigarette.

Wu Zhongyuan knew that Wang Xinran did what he said and couldn't do anything other than frown. He simply brushed his teeth, washed his face, and returned to the dormitory with the washbasin.

Wang Xinran swaggered behind, entered the dormitory, "bang", and closed the door.

"What are you doing?" Wu Zhongyuan hurriedly opened the door.

"Aren't you cold?" Wang Xinran closed the door again.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't dare to open it again, but Wang Xinran had to close it again, which was even more suspicious.

"Have you made up your mind?" Wang Xinran asked.

Wu Zhongyuan picked up the kettle and poured a glass of water, then sat beside the bed, "Let me think about it."

Wang Xinran didn't urge him either. After smoking, he took the apple left on the table and bought four apples for ten yuan. The guy ate two of them himself.

Since you have decided to go back, you have to figure out what to do to go back. Although the current situation may seem complicated, in fact, as long as you think calmly, you can still figure it out.

There are only three paths in front of him at present. The first one is to continue studying step by step, and when the time is right, slip away quietly and act alone.

The advantage of this is freedom, you can do what you want without anyone interfering. The disadvantage is that they are always concerned by people from both sides. As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of thieves. In addition, he can't get any help for his own independent actions, and it is a big problem to translate the words left by Wu Zhui.

In addition, there is a very important point that cannot be ignored, that is, even if you find a way to go back, you can't choose the time you want to go back, and it is very likely that you need to follow the span of three hundred six or three hundred and sixty-five. The unit, if this is the case, the most direct impact is that one day in the modern era, and one day in the ancient times, the longer he delays here, the longer the people in the ancient times wait for him.

If it wasn't for him, the clansmen and wizards wouldn't search so desperately. That is to say, the longer the delay, the worse it would be for the clansmen in the ancient times. They must rush back in the shortest time. Nian, I am afraid that even if I go back, the clan will die.

The second way is to choose to cooperate with Wang Xinran and others. The advantage of doing this is that it can get the strong support of the government. No matter what you do, you will get twice the result with half the effort. Do whatever you want, and the officials will probably try to prevent him from returning at that time.

The last way is to try to contact Zhao Ying and cooperate with Zhao Ying. This way seems to be a dead end, but it is actually feasible, because the forces behind Zhao Ying and others are also very strong, and Wang Xinran and others can do it They should be able to do the same thing. The most important thing is that Wang Ying's group has no official background, so they don't have too many worries about doing things. As long as there are enough exchange conditions, they can also provide huge help. However, this road also has a big drawback, that is, Zhao Ying and others are very dangerous, and cooperating with them is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger.

In fact, in addition to these three ways, he also thought about asking his senior brother Lin Qingming for help, but this thought was only fleeting. This matter was very dangerous, and he could not pull Lin Qingming into the water, otherwise it would probably harm him.

After thinking about it for a long time, Wu Zhongyuan still can't make up his mind. In all fairness, he prefers the first one. The biggest advantage of the first one is freedom, but the biggest disadvantage is not danger, but slowness. He can't afford it. It is said that his ancient clansmen could not afford it.

It is said that people who have no foresight will have near-term worries. Sometimes it is useless to look too far ahead, because things are always changing. Today's situation is like this, and it may change tomorrow. Since I can't think of a good way , you can only take one step at a time.

"If I don't join you, what will be the consequences?" Wu Zhongyuan looked up at Wang Xinran.

"There is no consequence," Wang Xinran said. "We can't arrest you, but out of consideration for your safety, we will increase our surveillance on you."

Wu Zhongyuan smiled, but it was a wry smile. Although Wang Xinran said it very implicitly, it was actually a threat. If he didn't cooperate, the officials would keep an eye on him. Impossible to do anything in secret.

"Has the translation come to fruition?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"You think it's traditional to simplified? How can it be so fast." Wang Xinran shook his head.

"How long will it take?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

"One week," Wang Xinran said, "Whether it can be translated or not, it will not exceed one week. If it has not been translated by then, it is estimated that it will not be translated in the future."

"I'll decide whether to go or not when the translation comes to an end." Wu Zhongyuan used a strategy of delaying his troops.

Wang Xinran can understand, "Okay, just as you said."

After the business was done, Wang Xinran didn't mean to leave, but lay on Wang Jize's bed and played with her mobile phone.

Just as Wu Zhongyuan was thinking about how to drive her away, Wang Xinran said, "Don't you want to know your master's situation? I called it out and sent it to you now."

Wu Zhongyuan took the mobile phone and clicked on the document that Wang Xinran sent.

There are seven or eight photos of Master on the document, from middle age to old age. He has never seen any of these photos before. If you look closely, most of the photos have steel stamps and red stamps, which should be from different periods. In addition, the photos taken by Master were all wearing casual clothes, not Taoist robes.

The following is a description of Master's situation, name, place of origin, date of birth, and what he was doing at a certain time.

Wu Zhongyuan knew Master's name, and he knew where he was from, but he didn't know Master's date of birth, but he knew now that Master was born in 1915.

The document is not short. It took Wu Zhongyuan five minutes to read it. After reading it, he was not in a good mood. It was because Master's life was really hard. He could only use two words to describe his life, and that was "unlucky".

Master's surname is Yang, and he has nine lay brothers and sisters. He is the eighth oldest, and was adopted by an uncle who had no children in his family shortly after he was born.

I was born with smallpox as a child and nearly died. The pockmark on my face must have been left at that time.

Later, my hometown was hit by a flood, and I went to Kanto with my uncle and aunt. We had to cross the river on the way. The boat capsized and almost died.

Although he was rescued, his uncle and aunt drowned and stared to death. He was adopted by a wandering Taoist priest. After several years of wandering with the Taoist priest, he finally settled in a Taoist temple in the north.

Then the Anti-Japanese War broke out, the Japanese devils attacked, the Eighth Route Army guerrillas attacked the devils, and the devils also caught the Eighth Road everywhere. At that time, the guerrillas were poorly equipped and could not fight the devils head-on. If they couldn't win, they hid in the mountains. There is no food or place to live in the mountains. Sometimes they go to monasteries and Taoist temples to live. When the devils come, they can't catch the eighth road, so they take their anger at the monks and Taoists. A large part of the devils believe in Buddhism, so it is not very important. It's hard to be a monk, and they're not polite to the Taoists. When they raided, they almost killed them when they encountered them, and drove the Taoists all over the mountain.

Master doesn't have a firm stance. Seeing that being a Taoist priest is easy to die, he simply returns to the vulgarity and works as a long-term worker for the landlord's family.

Finally survived until the end of the Anti-Japanese War. I thought that a good day was coming, but I didn't expect a land reform. The landlord was overthrown, the land was divided, and the master was also implicated. The reason is that when he was a long-term worker, he brought Several other people worked together, and they were identified as accomplices of the landlords' oppression of the people, and they had to suffer.

Later the state implemented the religious policy, and the Taoist priests who survived the disaster returned to the Taoist temple one after another, and the master also went back, but after a few days of good times, the four olds began to be broken again. After being demolished, the Taoist priests were brought out and criticized, and many of them were directly killed.

Master must have been beaten too. This time he was directly beaten. Even if he was rehabilitated, he would not dare to live in the Taoist temple again. It's called wandering around, wandering for more than ten years, saving some money, and finally settled in Huang County, and adopted my brother and him in his later years.

"Alas." Wu Zhongyuan sighed.

"It's past eight o'clock, let's go down for breakfast." Wang Xinran said.

Wu Zhongyuan hadn't had time to answer the phone when the phone rang, picked it up, and Huang Ping's voice came from the opposite side, "Zhongyuan, it's me, where are you?"

Seeing Huang Ping's sobbing voice, Wu Zhongyuan had a vague premonition, "I'm at school, what's wrong?"

"Can you come to Gao County, something happened to your brother..."
