Chapter 364 The Secret of Immortality

Eighty years ago, here in Shanghai, it was almost the time of the Battle of Songhu. The Chinese army fought with the Japanese army here for three months. The Chinese army suffered more than 300,000 casualties. Shanghai was not that big. That battle was said to be... It is not an exaggeration to say that every piece of land under our feet was dyed red with blood. Every inch of the mountains and rivers was filled with blood. The Chinese army fought bravely and tenaciously.

The man pulled down his down jacket and let the cold wind enter his body. He raised his head slightly and closed his eyes. In a trance, he suddenly returned to the time when he was stationed here with the army eighty years ago.

The faces of the comrades, the voices and appearances, and the voices with clear accents, it seemed as if they were really in my ears, as if they were in front of my eyes, as if it was really yesterday.

so,

Sometimes, living longer is not a happy thing.

When you get old, your thinking will fall into confusion and slowness. You can forget things that should be forgotten, and let go of things that should be let go. Whether it is regret or glory, it is always He could look away or take it lightly, but he couldn't.

"There are some things that you don't have to think about anymore." Ying Ying'er comforted her at the side. She knew some of her father's experiences and also knew that her father had joined the army. However, the situation changed later and the political situation was ups and downs. Her father I chose to go with the flow and hide myself safely to live an ordinary life.

"I can't forget it." The man smiled with some emotion, and then asked: "That friend of yours, please come soon."

Ying Ying'er straightened her hair that was blown by the cold wind and nodded, "It should be soon. It's time for you to leave your father. I told you about that man. He is not an ordinary person. He even let I feel terrible.”

The man clenched his hand on the iron railing, looked at his daughter, who seemed to be about the same age as himself, and said: "You also said that he is not an ordinary person. Yesterday you met him and kept talking about old times and drinking tea. There is no impulse, so why would he be so impatient to come to you today?

If I leave, what he should do is to seek my whereabouts from your mouth. Wouldn't this harm you? "

"He doesn't look like that." Ying Ying'er looked thoughtful, "He shouldn't be that bad."

The man shook his head and sighed, "I would rather believe that there are ghosts in this world than believe that man's bad mouth."

"Haha, what about my mother?"

"Your mother?" A smile appeared on the man's lips, "She was also deceived by me."

"Seriously, father, you'd better go, or I'll go with you." Ying Ying'er said seriously, "I really don't want my father's secret to be exposed."

"No need." The man seemed to have made up his mind, unmoved, and sat down on the chair. He picked up the coffee and found that the coffee was cold, so he put it down. "Since I was a child, because of my affairs , which caused you to change schools frequently, and I couldn’t always stay by your side to accompany you. I owe you a lot. You now have your own career and your own life in Shanghai, and you can’t hurt you anymore because of me. Ying'er, you only have one life, you should cherish it, and I should cherish it too."

Ying Ying'er also sat down in front of the man. She seemed to have figured something out and said, "Father, you want to see him on purpose, don't you?"

In the past, because of Frankenstein, Ying Yinger was also implicated, and she also saw the methods of black listeners. Su Bai was obviously the same type of person as black listeners, so it also showed that Su Bai's identity was not simple. But Ying Ying'er didn't dare to ask in detail, nor did she dare to investigate. She just pretended that this incident had never happened. Of course, she told her father about these things when she contacted her father.

"Maybe." The man's eyes looked serious and he coughed a few times. "I'm a little bit cold. You should also pay attention. The temperature difference is relatively large these days."

Yingying'er nodded noncommittally. She understood that her father did not want to involve her too much in his affairs. After all, she was different from her father. Her father's life span had not yet reached a milestone, and He himself is destined to grow old, sick and die.

"Is it him?"

The man pointed at Su Bai who was walking across the road.

Ying Ying'er looked over and said, "It's him." Then, Ying Ying'er looked at her father with a worried expression on her face. Su Bai came so quickly, which also showed his impatience.

Su Bai only wore one coat. After finding Ying Ying'er's table and sitting down, he simply took off his coat and hung it on the chair. Only a thin long sleeve was left inside. With his physique, ordinary cold and heat really have no effect on him. The reason why he wears a coat is just to make himself look less conspicuous.

"Let me introduce you." Su Bai said to Yingying'er.

Yingying'er looked at her father, she didn't know how to introduce him.

"I'm a relative of hers, hello." The man extended his hand and shook hands with Su Bai.

After shaking hands, Su Bai asked the waiter for a latte, then he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I have a bad habit, that is, when I encounter good things and beneficial things, I like to do whatever it takes. , So, I think it’s better for us to be honest, oh, by the way, I haven’t asked sir your name yet.”

"The surname is Lin, and the single character is 'zhou'."

"Mr. Lin." A look of surprise appeared on Su Bai's face, and then he asked: "Ying Ying'er should have told you my name. So, do you dare to ask Mr. Lin? What is your age this year?"

Su Bai really got straight to the point right from the beginning. It's not like he was dealing with NPCs in the story world, so why did he need so many twists and turns? He, Young Master Su, doesn't have that much energy and free time to practice Tai Chi slowly here, right? In the real world, Young Master Su keeps a low profile because he is low-key, but if he really wants to be high-profile, as long as he doesn't do those unscrupulous things, there really aren't many people who can control him.

"I was born in the first year of the Republic of China, which is the year of Renzi in the lunar calendar." Lin Zhou told his age without any hesitation or concealment.

"That's 1912?" Su Bai counted on his fingers, "That's a good guy. He's over a hundred years old. He's really good at maintaining it."

"Ahem..." Yingying'er coughed a few times on purpose. She hoped that Su Bai could maintain the most basic respect. After all, this man was her father. She didn't like her father to be treated as a monster. .

"Haha, if you are too old to die, you are just a thief." Lin Zhou didn't mind Su Bai's tone at all, but he also laughed at himself.

"Since Sir is so honest, I won't beat around the bush." ​​Su Bai originally thought that if Lin Zhou didn't admit it, he would have to put in more effort, but Lin Zhou was so honest now, which made some of Su Bai's original plans fall through. Of course, the fewer things, the better.

"I am very interested in the secret of eternal youth, sir." Su Bai pointed at Lin Zhou and then at himself, "No one can resist this."

Lin Zhou nodded, "Indeed, no one can resist this attraction. However, I think Mr. Su, you don't seem to need my secret. I am not talented. I have studied some Chinese medicine. After observing Mr. Su, Qi and blood are actually very rare. If things go normally, even if Mr. Su reaches my age, he probably won't be much older than me."

Su Bai's eyes narrowed. To be honest, of course Su Bai didn't care about the secret of immortality. His own life and death depended entirely on the next story world. It couldn't be guaranteed for a while, and he was still planning for the rest of his life. Moreover, with Su Bai's current situation Judging from the immortality of zombies and the notoriously long lifespan of the vampires, it was not a problem for Su Bai to live easily for one or two hundred years.

"Haha, what I'm curious about is the thing that can keep Mr. Lin young forever."

"Mr. Su, do you intend to get the answer you want?" Lin Zhou looked at his daughter calmly. The meaning was very simple. You just said that he was not such a dishonest man. Look at him. The posture really won't give up until the goal is achieved. Fortunately, Lin Zhou had no intention of hiding it in the first place.

Su Bai smiled and didn't answer the question.

"To be honest, Mr. Su, I can sit here and wait for you to come over, and I am ready to tell this matter, because it is indeed the time to tell it." Lin Zhou showed a touch of sadness on his face. If you keep secrets in your heart, it is actually a very tiring thing. At the same time, if you live for a long time and see the cherished people around you old and dead while you are alone, it is also very tiring. Cruel things.

A hundred years of life is actually not too outrageous. There are many centenarians in the world, but Lin Zhou, who has lived a hundred years of life as a young man, has much richer experiences than those centenarians. Yes, because he has unlimited energy and unlimited youth, so he can naturally do more and more things.

"You were discovered by me. Even if you want to run away, you can't." Su Bai said truthfully.

"Yes, that's the same truth, but I've been keeping this secret for many years, and it's time to tell it."

"Huh? Why is this?" Su Bai didn't ask Lin Zhou and Ying Ying'er if they minded, and lit a cigarette by himself, "I'm curious, what prompted you, Mr. Lin, to make such a big change? "

"Because a big shot who has always been interested in me and has been looking for me for almost half a century finally left a few days ago. He and I were classmates in Huangpu. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he came to inspect the place and was discovered by him. Once, and then he has been clinging to me, searching and investigating me, and I have been hiding.

Until a few days ago, he finally passed away. He died of old age. "
