Xiao Chen, who was about to go home, received a call from the identification center. He drove to get the results.
When he returned home, he locked the door and opened the two identification results with a serious expression.
One of them was a kinship test between him and Xiao Yan.
The other one was a paternity test made from the blood on his hands when he beat Xiao's father last time.
The results of the two appraisals have come out. Looking at the glaring words on the paper, he couldn't help but laugh miserably.
"No wonder, no wonder you treat me like this."
"Xiao Yuanhe, you'd better have a legitimate reason, otherwise, I will keep you in prison for the rest of your life."
I closed my eyes and tears fell down in big drops.
The results of the kinship test and paternity test have come out. Just as he thought, he has no blood relationship with the Xiao family.
So where did he come from? Where did Xiao Yuanhe get him?
They brought me to the Xiao family, but ignored me and even hoped that I would die. Why?
Touching my wrist, I felt a dull pain at the place where the mark would appear when I lost blood.
The invisible pressure made Xiao Chen almost breathless. He clenched his fists tightly, determined to figure out everything on his own.
Feeling depressed, Xiao Chen drove to his master's place.
It was already late and the children had all gone to bed, but the master was still flipping through a book in front of the hall.
"Are you here?" As if he had already guessed that Xiao Chen would come, the master put down the book in his hand and smiled slightly.
"Master, have you been waiting for me?" Xiao Chen looked at his master in surprise.
"Yes, but not entirely." The master shook his head gently: "You are conflicted inside. Even if you know all the consequences, you still don't know where to go."
"There are so many secrets in this world. Even if you start over again, you will discover many things that will shock you, right?"
"Yes, so what should I do?" Xiao Chen looked up at his master.
Judging from the master's tone, he seemed to know some of his secrets.
Xiao Chen was not surprised. Whether in the previous life or now, his master was always a mysterious existence.
And his eyes seemed to be able to see through everything in the world.
"In fact, all the choices are up to you. Just do what you want to do. There is no need to worry too much." The master smiled faintly: "Just seek the Tao in your heart."
"But...what is Tao?" Xiao Chen asked.
The master did not answer, he gently broke off a branch from the tree.
Then he waved his right hand quickly.
When he presented the branch in front of Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen was surprised to find that at the end of the branch, there was a fly with broken wings.
"If you disturb the Taoist's meditation, kill him. This is the Tao."
"When you've been wronged, you beat the other person up and torture them to death. This is also the Tao."
"To break free from the constraints of one's own heart, to be free and unfettered, to pursue one's nature, this is the Tao."
"The sun and moon shine of their own accord without anyone lighting them, the stars are arranged in order without anyone arranging them, the animals are created of their own accord without anyone creating them, the water flows of its own accord without anyone pushing it, the grass and trees grow of their own accord without anyone planting them, and so on and so forth, too numerous to mention, are all so of their own accord."
"So, do you understand?"
Xiao Chen remained silent. He understood, but also seemed not to understand.
Eight words vaguely appeared in my mind: "Neither birth nor death, formless and imageless."
"Someone is waiting for you inside, go and take a look." The master smiled slightly, stood up, and left tremblingly.
"Someone is waiting for me?" Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly walked into the hall. He saw Song Ziyan kneeling in front of the statue, praying silently.
"Song Ziyan, why are you here?" Xiao Chen shouted.
"Xiao Chen, you're here?" Song Ziyan turned around in surprise. "I came here this afternoon to pray for you and hope you can get a good ranking in the competition."
"Then Master said you would come later, so I waited here, and you really came."
"Thank you, you... are so nice to me." Xiao Chen was deeply touched.
"You're welcome." Song Ziyan had bright eyes and white teeth, and smiled very sweetly.
"Let's go to the bamboo forest behind the Taoist temple to release Kongming lanterns. The Taoist priest said that making wishes at night is most effective." Song Ziyan raised what he was holding.
This is a Kongming lantern that she prepared early in the morning.
"Okay." Xiao Chen nodded, then took her hand and went to the bamboo forest with her.
There is a large bamboo forest behind the Taoist temple, and behind the bamboo forest is an open area.
It is already past ten o'clock in the evening and the weather is particularly sunny today.
Moreover, the Taoist temple is located in the suburbs, where the air quality is relatively better.
The sky is dotted with stars, and a Milky Way stretches across the night sky, making the entire night sky appear extremely bright.
"Wow, it's so beautiful." Song Ziyan stared at the night sky without blinking.
Xiao Chen took the Kongming lantern from her hand and set it up.
The Kongming lantern was lit, and as the flame burned, it gradually floated up.
"You can make a wish now." Song Ziyan turned to look at Xiao Chen and clasped his hands together.
Xiao Chen also raised his hands, and the two of them closed their eyes slightly and made a wish to the Kongming lantern in the night sky.
After making the wish, Song Ziyan released his hands, happily looked at the Kongming lantern rising slowly in the night sky, and then pulled Xiao Chen to sit down together.
In the darkness of the night, the two sat side by side.
"What wish did you make just now?" Xiao Chen asked.
"How can you tell others about the wish you made? It won't come true if you tell them." Song Ziyan laughed.
"Let me guess?" Xiao Chen held his chin up: "It must be related to me."
"How do you know it has something to do with you?" Song Ziyan's pretty face suddenly turned red.
Fortunately, her expression could not be seen in the darkness, otherwise she would have really found a place to hide.
"I guessed it." Xiao Chen smiled. He hesitated for a moment, then reached out and held Song Ziyan's hand.
Song Ziyan trembled slightly, then let Xiao Chen hold her warm little hand.
The two of them snuggled together, Song Ziyan felt sweet inside, and she suddenly blurted out: "Xiao Chen, do you have anything to say to me?"
Yes, in this situation, isn’t it a good time to confess?
"Yes." Xiao Chen thought for a moment and nodded slightly.
Song Ziyan's eyes lit up as she waited for Xiao Chen's next words.
However, at this moment, he was interrupted by a heavy voice.
"Miss Song, you really gave us a hard time looking for you."
Xiao Chen turned around suddenly and saw five big men appearing behind him.
These people were holding sticks in their hands and looked like they were coming with bad intentions.
Xiao Chen then remembered that when he first arrived, he saw a van parked on the side of the road.
He was just thinking about something at the time and didn't care, but he didn't expect that these people were actually coming for Song Ziyan.
"Who are you?" Xiao Chen protected Song Ziyan behind him and looked at them vigilantly.
"Don't ask so many questions." The big man in the lead sneered and walked forward with a baseball bat.
"Miss Song, it's a rare opportunity for you to be alone. Please come with us."
"Who are you?" Song Ziyan frowned, and the scene ten years ago appeared before his eyes again.
Who is the other party? An enemy? A competitor? Or a kidnapper seeking money?
