Chapter 30 Chapter 30
Tang Yang was just about to put the child in the guest room to rest when he saw the person in his arms move.
He looked down, and then his breath caught.
The delicate-looking child slowly opened his sleepy eyes, but quickly closed them again as if he was not used to the light. He hummed in dissatisfaction unconsciously, and then subconsciously turned his face to the warm place.
With her cheeks slightly pink from deep sleep, she rubbed them against Tang Yang's chest, as lazily as a cat that was acting coquettishly with its owner after a good sleep.
Tang Yang: “…………” He felt itchy in his heart, as if he was being teased and he had evidence.
His sister was watching him, and no matter how turbulent Tang Yang's emotions were, he couldn't rub salt into her wounds at this time. So he resisted the itch in his heart and called softly, "Yuan, wake up, we're home."
After shouting twice, the child in his arms reluctantly opened his eyes again.
He first reached out to rub his eyes, and as he was rubbing, Yuan Tian felt something was wrong - why was the "wall" against which his forehead was leaning so elastic, soft yet hard and yet warm?
He tilted his head to look at the "wall" next to him, then slowly raised his head to look at the owner of the "wall" above.
His neck was stiff, and he stared at the owner of the "wall" for a long time before he slowly turned his head and looked to the other side. Tang Meng, with shining eyes, was smiling at him with an indescribable kindness on her face.
Yuan Tian: “…………”
So, was it him who took advantage of Brother Tang while he was sleepwalking, or was it Brother Tang who took advantage of him while he was sleeping?
It seemed like there were people watching.
His image has fallen.
The child blushed and jumped down from Tang Yang's arms. He coughed twice and said, "Sorry, I fell asleep. I must be very heavy! Thank you for your hard work, Brother Tang."
Facing the child's expression as if nothing had happened and his unusually red face, Tang Yang knew that the child must be happy and shy inside. Anyone's heart would beat faster when they wake up and find themselves in the arms of their loved one.
He was in an inexplicably good mood and smiled gently: "It's not heavy, not hard."
It really is not heavy. Although the child is tall, he is really thin, perhaps because of his poor health. Tang Yang usually works out a lot, so it seems that running eight blocks with him in his arms is not a big deal.
Fearing that the child would feel helpless, he looked at Tang Meng with a smile: "What did you just say happened?"
Tang Meng then put away his loving smile, and said worriedly, "Brother, we can't contact Grandpa and the housekeeper."
When Yuan Tian heard the word "Grandpa", he couldn't help but prick up his ears.
Tang Yang's smile disappeared and he frowned: "When did it happen?"
"When I called grandpa the day before yesterday, he was still there. But when I called again yesterday, I couldn't get through. The same thing happened with the housekeeper. I couldn't get in touch with him at all."
At this point, Tang Meng's voice was a little anxious: "Brother, do you think something has happened to them? Although grandpa doesn't pay much attention to us, he has always provided us with the best material conditions. He raised us, and I can't help but worry about him. Moreover, even if we can't contact him normally, we can at least contact the housekeeper, but this time we can't contact him..."
Tang Yang looked a little solemn. The old man in the family was indeed always elusive. Not to mention the past few years since they moved out, even when he lived at home before, the brothers and sisters would not often see him throughout the year.
When there was something going on, they would always contact each other by phone. When they couldn't get in touch, they would contact the housekeeper of the old house. But there had never been a situation where even the housekeeper was out of contact, which was very abnormal.
He asked: "Have you contacted the head of the group?"
The chairman of their group is the old man, but he had already entrusted all the work to professional agents more than ten years ago. Usually, when there is any instruction or matter, the old man will contact the agent directly.
"I have contacted him, and they said that grandpa only told him to ask you to handle any problems with the group in the future, and he is going to retire and enjoy his old age." Tang Meng looked worried, "That's why I am even more worried, it's so strange."
It was very strange. Tang Yang frowned with worry. He picked up his phone and called his grandfather, but the call didn't go through.
Yuan Tian then spoke up: "Tang Meng, what did you say to your grandfather the last time you spoke to him?"
Tang Yang reacted immediately, looked at her, and said in a slightly anxious voice: "Yes, what did you say before?"
"It didn't seem like anything..." Tang Meng recalled, "He just routinely asked us how we were doing, whether we had enough money, and whether we had any connections. He also asked what my brother was doing, and he was going to come over to see us..."
After a pause, she continued, "I remember now. At that time, I told my brother that he had gone to a Buddhist temple with his friends. Then, my grandfather was silent for a long time, and then he asked me who the friend was."
Yuan Tian's eyes lit up: "Did you tell the truth? How did he react?"
"Tell the truth," Tang Meng said, "He... seemed a little anxious at the time. He asked you what you were doing and when you would be back."
Yuan Tian's voice was a little anxious: "So, did he...just care about your brother's friend, that is, me?"
Tang Meng was stunned and asked curiously: "Boss Yuan, how did you know this? You can even calculate such details?"
Tang Yang, who was standing by, looked slightly gloomy and asked, "What did Grandpa say specifically?"
Tang Meng thought about it for a while before saying, "I just asked Boss Yuan if he looked good, if he was particularly thin, or something like that..."
The old man was not usually seen caring so much about the two siblings. Tang Yang tilted his head and quietly paid attention to Yuan Tian's expression.
The child looked confused, but soon he seemed to have figured something out, looking sad and happy. He raised his head and looked at Tang Yang with bright eyes: "Do you have a photo of your grandfather? I want to see it."
Tang Yang nodded and motioned Tang Meng to get it.
The photo was quickly handed to Yuan Tian. It was a photo of an old man with silver hair who looked very energetic. There were not many wrinkles on his face, and his eyes were very clear. He looked very smart and had a strong aura.
Yuan Tian was stunned for a while, and a hint of disappointment slowly appeared in his eyes.
Tang Yang had sent Tang Meng back early, and was watching him at this moment. Seeing him getting depressed, he finally sighed, "Can you tell me about the power in me, my grandfather, and the relationship between you and your Kongmen Temple?"
Yuan Tian looked up at him with a somewhat conflicted expression.
"I originally thought that since you wouldn't harm me anyway, I could just follow your wishes and not have to understand the details." Tang Yang lowered his eyelids and spoke slowly and deeply, "But now it involves my grandfather, and I don't want anyone to stir up trouble or cause any misunderstandings between us in the future."
He looked at Yuan Tian seriously and said, "I don't want to be kept in the dark, Yuan."
The sound of "A Yuan" seemed to reach his heart. Yuan Tian stared at him blankly for a long time before she smiled bitterly: "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but I'm also confused."
He organized his words and then slowly said, "My senior brother probed the energy in your body and found that it didn't seem to be human energy. Then, a seal appeared on your body. It is unique to our Taoist sect, and there are not many people alive who can use this sealing technique."
"My master is one of them." At this point, Yuan Tian looked at the photo again and said, "But my master died a long time ago. Before he died, he never mentioned who he had sealed. This magic is useless for ordinary humans. It is only useful for demons and monsters."
Tang Yang's pupils shrank: "I'm not a human?"
"..." Yuan Tian looked at him with dead eyes.
Tang Yang: “…” I curse myself series.
He coughed lightly: "You continue."
Yuan Tian rolled his eyes at him, and then continued: "To be honest, I really don't know what you are. Or rather, I don't know what the energy in your body is. Anyway, it's quite sinister."
"Then I discussed it with my senior brother and felt that your grandfather who provided you with the amulet was quite suspicious. So I thought, I will tell you after I meet your grandfather and find out his identity."
At this point, he sighed again: "Who would have thought that he seemed to have realized that I would look for him, and ran away. And he also cares about me for no reason..."
There was a lot of information, so Tang Yang sorted it out before asking, "Were you originally doubting that my grandfather was your master?"
"Well," Yuan Tian raised the photo album in her hand, "but looking at this face, it really doesn't look like it."
"That may not be the case," Tang Yang said, "Don't you Taoists have some kind of sleight of hand and things like shikigami? What if he is your master? Photos can deceive people, and so can appearances."
"Impossible," Yuan Tian said, "My master doesn't come down the mountain often."
"What a coincidence," Tang Yang said, "my grandfather is not often at home."
“…………”
The two looked at each other.
After a while, Tang Yang began to frown and muttered quietly: "If it's true, then our relationship will be so messy..."
My future partner's mentor is my grandfather...
What's going on with this subtle, incestuous feeling!
Yuan Tian didn't hear clearly: "What did you say?"
"No." Tang Yang decisively changed the subject. "As far as I can remember, my grandfather said he was my only relative, but in fact he rarely showed up at home all year round. I actually spent very little time with him, let alone Tang Meng."
"In my impression, he is a very taciturn, serious old man. Whenever we meet, he asks if I need money or supplies, as if it were a routine task..."
"Anyway, I don't feel any affection from him that should be between family members." Tang Yang showed no sign of sadness when he said this, and even smiled: "In fact, when I first started to remember, I felt that his attitude towards me was a bit strange. It was not like facing a six or seven-year-old child, but more like facing an adult."
Yuan Tian frowned. He only had memories when he was six or seven years old?
"Anyway," Tang Yang didn't give him a chance to think carefully, and continued, "Since he and the housekeeper left on their own, they must not be in any danger. I will have someone search for their whereabouts and try to let you see him as soon as possible."
"I hope we can explore this together." He said, "Yuan, if there is anything in the future, we can face it together, okay?"
When he said this, his expression was serious and his eyes were sincere. Yuan Tian couldn't help but feel soft in his heart and nodded gently.
"Be good." Tang Yang finally showed a slightly relaxed smile on his face. He stroked the child's hair and said with a smile, "It's one thing to find someone, but you can't miss the physical examination. I'll take you to the hospital tomorrow morning, and then you'll accompany me to the company. You have to fast tonight and tomorrow morning, and I'll take you to eat something delicious after the physical examination tomorrow."
Yuan Tian took the opportunity to bargain: "Then I want to have barbecue for lunch tomorrow and hot pot for dinner, is that okay?"
Tang Yang couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay."
Yuan Tian then gave him a big smile, which stunned Tang Yang for a long time.
Then he heard Yuan Tian's puzzled voice: "Brother Tang, why do I always feel like something is missing at home..."
Something is missing…
The two looked at each other for a while, and exclaimed in unison: "Little Jing!!!"
At this moment, in Tang Yang's company car, the driver suddenly sneezed loudly and muttered quietly: "Why is it getting colder..."
If he could see something, he could probably see the reason in the rearview mirror -
In the back seat, Xiao Jing, who had just woken up, had tears in his eyes and kept crying: "Boss... Brother Tang... I want to go home... I want to drink Coke..."
The little thing looked like a poor child accidentally lost by careless parents, miserable and helpless.
The child was eventually found by Yuan Tian, or rather by Tang Yang. He called the driver on his cell phone to drive the car back, saying that he had left something behind.
The driver drove back in a daze, and drove away with a big red envelope in his hand. Only the little ghost was left at the door, his pale face full of tears, staring at Yuan Tian and Tang Yang with an accusing look.
The two looked at each other, and each of them prepared to start a battle to coax the baby with a guilty conscience.
Yuan Tian took the lead: "A box of Coke!"
Xiao Jing was angry: "No, two boxes!"
Yuan Tian clapped her hands: "Deal!"
Xiao Jing then burst into laughter and began to float around contentedly.
Tang Yang: “…………” The battle ended a little too quickly.
