Human Shackles

v1 Chapter 64: Purple Orchid

   Riding on, Luo Kai suddenly slowed down and whispered: "I'll tell you a story."

   Lu Qing didn't say a word, and muttered to herself, who wants to hear about storytelling, what good stories can a rude guy like you have!

"Once upon a time... no, it was a long, long time ago, there was a boy who studied very well, and he stayed on to teach after graduation, and he caught up with the most beautiful girl in school. His life should be very happy, but the human society is always there. Surrounded by the game between money and power, he gradually ceased to be satisfied with the ordinary life, and began to chase money and power...

   Lu Qing initially made up his mind not to listen to his bad story, but after listening to Luo Kai's words, she felt a little sad, so she calmed down and listened.

   Luo Kai stopped suddenly at this time, as if he was caught in some kind of memory.

   Lu Qing couldn't help but said, "Go on, did he go bad afterwards."

   Luo Kai came back to his senses, and nodded bitterly: "Yes, he has become very bad, he has a mind-boggling attitude, and he has raised several lovers outside."

   "What about his original girlfriend?"

   "They are already married, and their wife gave her a lovely little daughter."

   Lu Qing twisted his waist suddenly, and said viciously: "You men really don't have a good thing!"

When I arrived at Granny Hua’s courtyard, a gray shadow came out just after pushing open the courtyard door, standing on Lu Qing’s shoulder and grinning at Luo Kai. It was the blood monkey. The difference was that it was red. The hair turned gray, similar to a normal monkey, and it looked like it was dyed.

   This guy forgot about himself as a life-saver in a blink of an eye, and even dared to gnaw at him. Luo Kai viciously raised his fist in a threatening state, and the blood monkey slipped off Lu Qing's shoulder in fright and hurriedly got into the house.

   Lu Qing said to him angrily: "Why scare Xiaohui!"

   It seems that Lu Qing didn't know what happened that day, and Luo Kai spread his hands innocently: "It was the one who bared my teeth first."

   Granny Hua stood in the yard looking at them lovingly: "Qing'er, please come in and sit down."

   Lu Qing walked into the house angrily, ignoring Luo Kai.

   Granny Hua said helplessly: "This girl is spoiled by me, come in and sit down."

   Luo Kai first glanced at the purple flower. Although the purple flower was still in full bloom despite the drifting snow, he seemed to be aware of Luo Kai's arrival, and the stamens turned slightly to face him in full bloom.

Walking into the house, Grandma Hua made a cup of scented tea, the fragrance was overflowing, Luo Kai took a sip, feeling that the whole person was filled with the fragrance of flowers, even the pores seemed to be exuding the fragrance, could not help but be surprised: "What kind of tea is this? ?smell good!"

   Granny Hua said with a smile: "It is made from the petals of the purple orchid. If you like it, you will come to me often in the future."

   Luo Kai really likes the fragrance, and smiled and said: "Mother-in-law, don't be so stingy, just give me a little bit."

   Granny Hua shook her head: "Zilan likes you very much, so the few petals that have fallen off specially. If you want to drink, you can only come to me."

   Luo Kai couldn't help pointing to the outside, and said dumbfounded: "Mother-in-law, what do you mean, it... does it like me?"

   "Well, boy, don't underestimate the wisdom of plants, they just can't express it."

   Luo opened up and walked to the window, looking at the delicate flower, it seems that not only animals have high wisdom in this world, but plants also produce wisdom.

Granny Hua followed him to the window and whispered: "Purple orchid blooms at one year old and bears fruit at one year old. Its one year old is equivalent to one hundred years of human beings. Now it’s just time to bear fruit, but it lacks a kind of fruit. Factor, so it hasn’t been possible to get results."

   "What factor?" Luo Kai was a little puzzled.

   Flower mother-in-law has a solemn expression: "Plants are also male and female, and they lack a male factor."

   "Hmm...Are you going to find the same kind for it?"

   Granny Hua shook her head: "Zilan has no similar species. Even if there is, it is likely to be in the mountains in the inland, which is a restricted area for humans."

   "What should I do, wait for the next 100 years?"

   Granny Hua sighed and said: "The purple orchid will only extend its life if it bears fruit. If it fails to bear fruit, its lifespan will gradually burn through."

   Luo Kai couldn't help but give birth to sympathy. If it is an ordinary plant, he would definitely not care, but a wise plant is different. After thinking about it, he asked: "Mother-in-law, you must have a way."

Granny Hua looked at him deeply and said softly: "The way is to pass on the purple orchid. My master passed the purple orchid to me. Now I must also pass the purple orchid to others. This is not only inherited in the traditional sense, but also The inheritance of life."

   Luo Kai realized something from Granny Hua's gaze, and pointed to himself in surprise: "Mother-in-law, what do you mean?"

   "Yes, you are the person I am looking for."

   Luo Kai rubbed his hands, which was really a bit inexplicable. He pointed to Lu Qing who was eavesdropping at the door of the back room and said, "Qing'er is your granddaughter, can't you pass it on to her?"

   Granny Hua turned her head and looked at her, her eyes filled with love, and said: "The lonely yin doesn't last long, and the lonely yang doesn't reproduce. Zilan wants to have results that must be balanced by yin and yang. Qing'er can't do it alone."

   Luo scratched his head, talking to this old woman is like playing a mute, and said: "Mother-in-law, just say what you need me to do. Saving people and saving flowers are the same to me."

   Granny Hua smiled: "I hope you will take care of Qing'er for me in the future. This girl has a pitiful background, and her parents have not been around since she was a child."

   Lu Qing rushed out as soon as the voice fell, and said loudly, "Mother-in-law, what are you doing, who...who let this bad guy take care of it!"

Luo Kai was completely confused. What is this all about? What I just said was how to save the flowers. This will go around Lu Qing again, and he waved his hand hurriedly: "Mother-in-law, Lu Qing is an adult, she has her own pursuits. The right to happiness, I... this person is sloppy, not suitable, and what I promised you is to help save the flowers."

Now Lu Qing is even more annoyed. She is naturally beautiful. She has always been used to being held by the stars. Listen to your opinion. I am an innocent girl who will send you to you. Do you want to send you? Under shame, her eyes flushed and hated Staring at Luo Kai bitterly: "Who wants you to take care of, hurry up, I don't welcome you at my house." He stepped forward and tried to drive Luo Kai out.

   Luo Kai also wanted to escape ~lightnovelpub.net~ and walked out with strength.

   Granny Hua did not persuade, she followed to the small courtyard and asked a strange word from Luo Kai's back: "Young man, do you believe in fate?"

   Luo Kai had arrived at the gate of the courtyard, and at this moment he suddenly stopped and couldn't help but look back.

   Granny Hua came over slowly, and said to Yang Qing who was on the side: "Qing'er, you can go back to the house."

   Lu Qing glared at Luo Kai fiercely before turning back to the house.

   Granny Hua walked to Luo Kai and whispered in his ear: "Don’t you find that Zilan is Qing'er, and Qing'er is Zilan!"

   Luo Kai seemed to be hit by a thunderbolt, and said in horror: "Mother-in-law, what do you mean?"

Granny Hua looked at the sky with muddy eyes and sighed: "Qing'er was injected with the genes of Zilan when she was born, and Zilan also has genes of Qing'er. This is what I call inheritance. According to the latest It is said that they are twins, or genetic entanglement, any psychological changes in one will be fed back to the other. Zilan had a good impression of you at the beginning, but now she likes you so much, that means Qing'er is deep in her heart. I like you too."

   Luo Kai hadn't recovered yet, and was taken aback by the words of Granny Hua.

   "If you want Zilan to bear fruit, you and Qinger are the only ones who combine!"

   "Mother-in-law, I can't, I really can't, again...bye." Luo Kai stammered, turned his head and ran, agitated his heartbeat in shock, and disappeared for a moment.

Granny Hua looked at Luo Kai panicking and fleeing, her wrinkled old face showed a slight smile. She was extremely confident of her granddaughter's appearance. She didn't believe that there was a man in this world who could refuse this temptation, but Luo Kai's rejection at the beginning increased. I have a good impression of this grandson-in-law.
