C414 A Strange Old Man
2After exchanging some pleasantries with the two old men, Xiao Chen said goodbye to them and followed Cang Lizi to the next place.
"The two old men guarding the door aren't?" Cang Lizi asked nervously on the way.
Obviously, she cherished the two of them. The two of them had probably been guarding the gate for a long time.
"Yes, no." Xiao Chen nodded and said.
Cang Lizi breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Xiao Chen's words. Her heart fell to the ground. If both of them were like that, she would not be able to accept it.
But not long after the two of them left, Uncle Li and Uncle Wang's faces suddenly revealed a very solemn expression.
"That kid won't be able to see anything, right?" Uncle Li said.
"No, we hid it so well, and for so many years, Uncle Li said. So many people have come, but no one has been able to break the formation we are in. After all, this was set up by our Master Yuan Di. If such a young man were to break it... Wouldn't that be too embarrassing? " Uncle Wang said with a smile.
" That's true. " As Uncle Li spoke, he returned to his usual amiable appearance.
Next, Cang Lizi brought Xiao Chen to a few aunties that she usually met.
"This is Auntie Wan, this is Auntie Yang, and this is Auntie Mu. Their daily work is to clean the surroundings of my house. The only reason I can live in such a good environment is because of them."
Cang Lizi introduced them while smiling. Her smile was very pure and brilliant, as if she was introducing her own mother.
She had lost her parents a long time ago, and then her dearest grandfather passed away. She was the only one left, and she had to be schemed against by the other people of Cang family for so many years. Therefore, she could only treat the people around her as her most intimate people.
When Xiao Chen saw her introducing these three old aunties so happily, he suddenly felt a kind of reluctance in his heart. After all, if he really unveiled the veil of these people, it would be a big blow to Cang Lizi.
But on second thought, if he did not unveil these things, he would definitely let Cang Lizi continue to be controlled by the curse. This would be even more painful for her life.
Furthermore, Xiao Chen hated those who used other people's pain to achieve his own happiness. It wasn't excessive to call such people scum. What they obtained... It was just a lie. They didn't really know what a person should do.
It could even be said that this type of person wasn't worthy of being called a person.
"Xiao Chen, hello!" A few aunties who were working greeted Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen also responded to them one by one. Each of these three people's faces were very kind, and no one could tell what they were thinking.
Xiao Chen could only feel that these few people in front of him were not a problem for the time being.
After that, after that, Xiao Chen followed Cang Lizi to visit the other people. However, all of them were servants of the Cang family. None of them were high ranking officials of the Cang family or had blood relations with the Cang family.
Finally, Cang Lizi brought Xiao Chen to Uncle Li's room.
"Uncle Li, are you there?" Cang Lizi asked outside the room.
Not long after, Xiao Chen heard some noises from inside. Then, a white-haired man walked out. He looked to be at least seventy years old. Even so, Xiao Chen could still feel that he was in high spirits. His eyes also lit up.
"Chestnut is here? What's the matter? Are you playing chess with me again? " Uncle Li revealed a kind smile. There was even some indulgence in his smile.
This was an expression that only the elders of an ordinary family would reveal to the younger generation of the family. But Xiao Chen clearly felt that Uncle Li and Cang Lizi did not have any blood relation, but why did this smile have such a meaning?
And why was Cang Lizi still calling him uncle when he was so old? This made Xiao Chen feel a little strange, but he did not ask on the spot. He just smiled and greeted the old man.
"No, Uncle Li. I specifically came to introduce my new bodyguard. This is Mr. Xiao, he has just entered our Cang family today. He is now my bodyguard. " Cang Lizi smiled and introduced Xiao Chen.
Uncle Li was a little unhappy when he saw Xiao Chen greeting him. He looked at Xiao Chen with a meaningful look and said faintly, "If that's the case, then I know. If Chestnut is fine, then... Okay."
Seeing how Uncle Li was so cold to him and that there was something wrong with his eyes, Xiao Chen started to doubt him.
Cang Lizi did not understand why Uncle Li was so cold to Xiao Chen, but she did not dare to ask. Because this old man was famous for being stubborn and determined. Unless he wanted to change himself, no one could make him make any changes.
"Who is this Uncle Li from your Cang family? No matter how I look at it, he doesn't seem like a servant, but his life isn't particularly good either." After Xiao Chen left the old man's room, he began to ask Cang Lizi questions.
"This is my grandfather's best friend when he was alive, and also one of the meritorious members of our family. He has been working for our Cang family all his life. He has never married or had any children. He has always treated me as his own granddaughter, and he treats me very well. " Cang Lizi explained.
" Never get married for the rest of your life? " Xiao Chen was a little curious when he heard this.
In fact, to a certain extent, a man would have the thought of giving birth to his next generation. However, some people could restrain such thoughts, but most people would choose to give birth to the next one. As long as they had a certain level of ability.
If Uncle Li came from the same generation as Cang Lizi's grandfather, it meant that he must have been quite capable back then. Such a man might not have been very popular in that era, but at least he wanted to find someone to marry and have children. It should not be difficult.
However, he strangely chose not to marry for the rest of his life and had been working for the Cang family. The reason was worth thinking about.
"Uncle Li, how close is his relationship with your grandfather?" Xiao Chen asked again.
"It's hard to say, but I remember my grandfather said Uncle Li blocked bullets for him." Cang Lizi thought for a while and said.
"Other than this, what else is so special about it, or what happened to your father's generation?" Xiao Chen continued to ask.
"My father's generation. I was too young at that time. I can't remember." Cang Lizi said helplessly.
