In the Sun Family Ancestral Mansion, the person who currently lived here was called Sun Liansheng. He was Sun Chengzhi's nephew, and because Sun Chengzhi's name was renowned in the past, many people who came to request Sun Chengzhi's divination were invited. Therefore, Sun Chengzhi was also the number one person in the surrounding area at that time.
There was no need to mention Sun Chengzhi's family, his nephew was the same as well. Sun Liansheng was one of them, and back then he had also suffered greatly as well, as some of the side effects were still present, so after the turmoil ended, they did not have a good relationship with Sun Chengzhi's family. Furthermore, Sun Chengzhi's only remaining son had escaped abroad, causing them to suffer quite a few more hardships in those years.
Their family already had a lot of people in the first place, and now they have the most people. After the information was changed, he secretly operated on it and directly became the owner of the house.
Now that the price of the house had risen so quickly, the county's price had also risen quickly. Although it was not comparable to those large cities, it was still worth a lot, so whether it was in reality or in terms of relationships, he would not return the house to them. It was because he felt that this was the compensation Sun Chengzhi had given him back then.
But today, a large portion of his family had been reduced by half, because his wife, son, and daughter-in-law had all entered the police station. He had agreed to the farce in the afternoon, but he hadn't directed it, because he didn't need to say that everyone in the family would know that child's play, so he wasn't too worried.
After cooking for his grandchildren and feeding them, Sun Liansheng laid down on the rocking chair at home to rest. As their ancestral hall was right next to the room he slept in, he couldn't help but think back to the grand occasion of the Sun Family back then. Back then, his Sun Family had reached its peak in the hands of Sun Chengzhi, and in this area of one hundred and fifty kilometers, who didn't know of the great name of Sun Family.
That turmoil back then had almost extinguished their Sun Family. Even now, they had not been able to completely recover, so he hated and loved that Sun Chengzhi. Sun Liansheng slowly fell asleep between the glory of the past and his defeat.
”Pa da!” Sun Liansheng was awakened by a light noise. He was old and slept lightly. Even the slightest noise would wake him up.
Hearing the sounds coming from the ancestral hall next door, Sun Liansheng stood up from his rocking chair. There were still many ranks of ancestors in the ancestral hall, and once every year there was an oil lamp lit, there would be mice that would steal some lamp oil. He had to go take a look.
However, the moment Sun Liansheng opened the door, his breathing quickened because he saw a familiar figure. Sun Liansheng rubbed his eyes and opened his eyes again. After confirming that this was the case, he slowly walked in front of that figure and softly said, ”Uncle!”
The figure slowly turned around. When Sun Liansheng looked down at his face, his face was covered in tears. He wailed, ”Uncle, you're finally back. It's been several decades. Where have you been?”
Sun Chengzhi turned his head and looked at the old man who was sitting on the ground crying bitterly. Immediately, his heart was filled with emotions, he gently supported the old man and said, ”Sheng'er, Uncle has let you down.
”Uncle, then why did you come back?” Sun Liansheng asked in surprise because he had noticed something unusual.
”I naturally came back for the Sun Family. I already know about the matter between you and Lin'er …”
”Uncle, I, this is none of my business. He went too far, walked away for decades, and now he wants us to leave. How could this be?” Sun Liansheng said angrily.
”I know, there is no one right or wrong in this matter, but our Sun Family does not allow internal strife, have you forgotten this rule?” Sun Chengzhi said somewhat sternly.
”I know, but Uncle, you can't help your son. Let's not talk about what he did that year. First, tell me about my family. My three sons, seven or eight grandchildren. Without this house, what can we do?” Sun Liansheng replied immediately.
”I know as well, so didn't I give you an idea? Come over here and I'll tell you …” Sun Chengzhi waved his hand.
The next morning, after I woke up, I went to the bookstore and bought a pile of human body diagrams. There were acupuncture points, meridian channels, and even muscles and bones, all of them were there, and then I started to memorise them. The next time I see Sun Chengzhi, he would definitely blow away all of them with a slap.
But after carrying for a short while, Sun Yong came and knocked on my door.
”Is there something you need?” I asked without turning my head.
”What's the use of memorizing some of the strange meridians? If you really want to enter this circle, the best way is to put it into practice,” Sun Yong leaned on the doorstep and said.
”Practice, what practice?” I asked over my shoulder.
”If you want to learn fortune-telling, then go up the street and tell others your fortune. If you want to learn feng shui, then go and show them your feng shui, or visit the Mingchuan Mountains. If you want to catch a ghost or demon, then go take a walk around the haunted house and hide in your room.” Sun Yong said.
Sun Yong's words were very logical, I accepted it immediately. Right, what kind of learning method is deeper than practice, what do you want to learn, can't you just practice for a bit?
”Um, you're right, but how can there be a chance for us to practice now?” I frowned again. I couldn't accomplish all that Sun Yong had said for the time being.
