Chapter 204 Liu Shizi

Liu Xichuan, Jiaozhou, is in his forties. He has only one son under his knees. He is extremely doting. His son is indulgent and capricious, and his character is inferior. When he grows up, he is luxurious and promiscuous, and his family property is ruined. Soon after, his son fell ill, and Liu Xichuan raised a lot of mules. His son said, "Kill a fat mule for me, and I will recover."

Liu Xichuan was worried and planned to kill an old mule. After his son knew it, he cursed loudly and his disease deepened. Liu Xichuan was afraid and had to kill the fat mule. The son was so happy that he served the mule meat and ate only one piece. He didn't taste it. He discarded all the remaining mule meat. His condition did not improve, and he died soon.

Liu Xichuan is very sad. Three or four years later, the villagers worshipped Mount Tai halfway up the mountain and saw a man riding a mule, looking like a willow. Looking closer, it was really him. When they met with their hometown, Liu Zi bowed. Hearing the news one by one, the villagers were horrific, but they did not dare to mention the death of Liu. Just asked, "What are you doing here?"

Liu Zi smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm just wandering around." He asked again, "Where is the inn? I want to stay."

The villager indicated the direction. Liu Zi bowed his hand to say goodbye and said, "I have something important to do, so I'm going to leave. Let's visit the inn again tomorrow. The mule left. The villager returned to the inn and thought, "You can't believe the ghost's words. I don't know if he will come?"

Early the next morning, the villagers waited in the inn. Liu Zi arrived as promised, tied the mule to the stake, and went into the house to talk and laugh. Everyone said, "My father thinks about you. Why don't you go home and have a look?" Liu Zi was surprised and said, "Father, who is he? Why don't I remember?"

Everyone said, "Liu Xichuan." When Liu Zi heard this, his expression changed greatly. After a long time, he said, "Well, since he misses me, please send a message for me. Just say that on the seventh day of April, I will wait for him here." After saying that, he left straight away. After everyone returned to their hometown, they mentioned this matter to Liu Xichuan, and Master Liu couldn't stop crying. On the date day, I went as scheduled and inquired about my son's message from the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper said, "The last time I met Mr. Liu, he looked cold and seemed to hide his evil heart. In my humble opinion, I'd better not see him. Liu Xichuan cried and didn't believe it. The shopkeeper said, "I'm not stopping the master, but I'm just impermanent, and I'm afraid of something unexpected. If you insist on seeing it, please hide in the cabinet first and wait for Mr. Liu to come and observe the color secretly. If you can see it, it's not too late to come out.

Liu Xichuan nodded and agreed, and then Liu Zi visited and asked the shopkeeper, "Is the old man here?" The host said, "Not yet." Liu Zi scolded, "Why isn't this old beast?" The master was shocked and said, "The young man is rude. How dare he abuse his father?" Liu Zi said, "What kind of father is he? At the beginning, I partnered with him to do business. I didn't want the old man to hide the evil heart and secretly swallow my property. The matter was exposed and I didn't pay it back. You have to kill him today. Humph, he also deserves to be my father?!" After saying that, he went out and scolded hatefully, "Take advantage of him!"

Liu Xichuan heard his son's words clearly in the wooden cabinet. He sweated coldly and did not dare to gasp lightly. He waited for his master to call before he came out and returned in confusion.
