Chapter 60: The Zhang Family Has Never Been Overcome
With this relationship, Xie Yuchen's luck will not be lost. Because in the logic of heaven, there is such a formula:
Recognition = wishing him well = giving him good luck, but giving him good luck = hurting Qilin = will be punished, and then the effect of wishing him well will not be achieved.
So generally speaking, what you end up with is wishing him well but not giving him any luck.
In Zhang Moyu's opinion, Xie Yuchen's current methods are still a little immature, and his biggest shortcoming is probably that he is a gentleman and his words and deeds are too upright.
Maybe it’s because he was educated in this peaceful era since childhood, so his heart is not cruel enough and his methods are not dirty enough.
As a bystander, Zhang Moyu could easily see that Xie Yuchen had many ways to resolve the chaos in the Xie family, and he chose the one that was the most time-consuming, labor-intensive and mentally exhausting.
The three of them were originally walking back side by side. Before getting on the car, Hei Xia Zi suddenly stopped, stood in place and hissed, attracting the attention of Zhang Moyu and Jie Yuchen.
"What's wrong with you?"
Xie Yuchen sighed, knowing that Hei Xia Zi was going to make trouble again, but considering that Hei Xia Zi didn't cause him any trouble this time, he still patiently asked.
"It's okay, there's sand in my shoes. One of you two can lean over and I'll clear it out."
Old Man Mo’s base camp was built next to the quarry. There was a lot of gravel and debris, and even the wind that blew from time to time brought sand and dust that had been broken into powder.
Xie Yuchen folded his arms, stood two meters away from him and just looked at him.
Just the black blind man needs someone to rely on?
Who among those who practice martial arts has poor balance?
Take the Golden Rooster Stand, the most common practice posture among martial artists, for example. It is the basic posture of martial arts, and it trains balance!
Zhang Moyu also realized that Hei Xia Zi was deliberately looking for trouble, but he was very close to Hei Xia Zi now and could help him with just a hand.
Something that is easy to do and not troublesome.
Zhang Moyu reached out to help the person. Hei Xia Zi had just said it casually, but he didn't expect that someone would actually help him.
"Thanks, Lao Mo."
Hei Xiazi smiled at him, showing his big white teeth, and said a word of thanks.
When Zhang Moyu heard the new name he blurted out, his face instantly became expressionless. This kid didn't know how to respect the elderly at all.
This strange name...
Zhang Moyu began to wonder in his mind what the probability was that Hei Xia Zi would fall face down if he suddenly let go.
Before he could make up his mind whether to trick Hei Xia Zi or not, he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with the leather boots that Hei Xia Zi took off.
Why are the soles of his leather boots so high?
Seeing the four or five centimeters thick sole, Zhang Moyu was silent for a while, and suddenly asked a question.
"Xiao Hei, how tall are you?"
Hei Xia Zi almost didn't realize that the person calling "Xiao Hei" was calling him.
He looked around and saw that there was no one else related to "black", and saw Zhang Moyu's eyes lingering on his shoes. Then he said "oh" as if he understood something, and belatedly acknowledged the nickname "Xiaohei" that Zhang Moyu gave him.
Listen, "Xiao Hei", what a kind and cute name!
Hei Xia Zi was in a good mood and thinking to himself amusingly. He estimated Zhang Moyu's height and found it to be about 1.8 meters, about the same height as the mute.
After putting on the cleaned shoes, Hei Xia Zi stood up straight, gestured in front of his forehead with one hand, and sighed casually as if unintentionally.
"That's it, only about 1.9 meters. It can't be helped, I have good genes. Actually, I don't want to be this tall..."
"1.85 meters."
Xie Yuchen ruthlessly revealed the truth, interrupting Hei Xia Zi's Versailles speech.
Zhang Moyu summarized what the two said, and then his eyes stayed on Hei Xia Zi's shoes for several seconds.
From the outside, this is just a pair of ordinary leather boots. You can't tell that its true appearance is actually a pair of shoes with a five-centimeter thick inner heel!
Zhang Moyu cast a death stare at Hei Xia Zi himself again.
So... you are a 1.85 meter tall person, but you still wear insoles?
This is not a question of shame or not. How can he feel as he is just a little short of 1.8 meters tall?
Although Zhang Moyu had a blank expression on his face at the moment, Hei Xia Zi could still read his current thoughts from his micro-expressions. He saw that Zhang Moyu seemed to have an inexplicable concern about his height, and he couldn't help but start to stir up hatred.
"I just wanted to stand higher and see farther, so I added a height increase. And you know what, the air up there is definitely fresher."
As Hei Xia Zi spoke, he took a deep breath and almost choked himself by trying to hold back his laughter.
Zhang Moyu closed his eyes and turned away, not wanting to pay attention to him. He turned his attention to Jie Yuchen, trying to find some comfort from him, a man who looked about the same height as him.
Xie Yuchen saw what he wanted to ask, and although he didn't know why he suddenly paid attention to this, he still took the initiative to speak.
"I'm 1.80 meters tall." Actually, he wasn't. He wore some height-enhancing clothes, so his real height was only 1.78 meters.
But Xie Yuchen did not feel guilty at all when he said he was 1.80 meters tall. His physical data had never been leaked. Anyway, as long as no one had evidence to expose him, he was 1.80 meters tall!
After finishing speaking, Xie Yuchen couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
"What's wrong with the height? You look like you care about it."
Zhang Moyu sighed, thinking that it was not a serious matter and there was nothing to hide, so he spoke softly.
"From the Zhang family records to the clan members I know, no one is taller than 1.8 meters." Including his little official son.
The issue of height is just an unwilling obsession that the Zhang family members privately joke about.
The Zhang family always reaches a high degree of unity in inexplicable ways.
This includes height.
The height of women in the Zhang family ranges from 1.65 to 1.75 meters, and the height of men ranges from 1.7 to 1.8 meters, with no exceptions!
This is true even if they are born with deficiencies or have suffered injuries later in life.
When the lower limit is locked, the upper limit is also locked.
A height of 1.8 meters became a hurdle that no one in the Zhang family could overcome.
Things were not so bad in his time two thousand years ago. Ordinary people were generally short in height, and they were quite satisfied with the uniform height of their family members.
It's just that some members of the tribe who have unique aesthetic tastes and want to become strong men have some complaints, but other people are not too obsessed with height.
But it is different in modern times. The height of ordinary people has increased. If you stroll around the street, you can see several people who are 1.8 meters tall, not to mention the black bear who is nearly 1.9 meters tall.
Noticing this development, Zhang Moyu suddenly felt a little worried.
Is it possible that as other people grow taller and taller, everyone in their family will eventually become dwarfs?
It's really sad and nerve-wracking...
