Chapter 70 Sealing

"The leaves on your son's body are the mysterious and rare leaves of the spider lily! This flower should grow alongside its leaves, but now the flower is on another little girl."

"That is why your son began to suffer such torment when this girl was born. This is because there is a strange mutual connection between the flower and the leaf. Although they are far apart, they can still respond to each other, which causes your son's severe physical pain."

Hearing this, Liang Xinxing felt as if her heart was being torn apart, and tears instantly blurred her vision.

She hugged her son tightly, her face full of heartache, and said in a trembling voice, "Master, please, you must help us! He is just a young and innocent child, how can he bear such heart-wrenching pain?"

Master Liu frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said, "So be it. Since things have come to this, I will use the sealing technique."

"However, I must make it clear beforehand that my sealing technique can only last for sixteen years."

"Sixteen years from now, if you can find his destined other half and let the two of them stay together, then he can not only get rid of this pain, but may also have some unexpected and wonderful gains."

After saying this, Master Liu put his hands together and chanted incantations. A dazzling light gradually emerged from his hands and slowly entered Dai Xingyun's chest.

"Alright, the child is fine now, you can take him back," Master Liu said wearily.

"Thank you, Master Liu! If it weren't for your help, my grandson might still be suffering from this pain. Please accept this small token of my appreciation."

As he spoke, the old man carefully took out a piece of fine jade that was warm, translucent, and had a faint luster from his pocket, and respectfully handed it to Master Liu with both hands.

Master Liu nodded slightly, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes. He reached out and took the jade stone, examining it carefully.

"Hmm, not bad, I like this gift very much. Alright, you can leave now. Try not to come looking for me again. The situation has been turbulent lately, and I'm also planning to close my doors to guests and devote myself to cultivation for a while. The future is not optimistic, so please be careful."

After saying this, Master Liu waved his hand, signaling them to leave.

Grandpa Dai nodded knowingly, understanding that this was Master Liu's well-intentioned reminder.

He kept these words in mind and secretly resolved to be more cautious in his future actions.

In the years that followed, many of the once high-ranking officials encountered misfortunes and were demoted to remote areas, but Old Master Dai remained steadfast in his position, and his status was never shaken.

Just as the family rushed home, Dai Xingyun, who had just arrived home, woke up.

The little one blinked his big, watery eyes, curiously looking around at the unfamiliar yet familiar surroundings and the family members gathered around the bed with concerned expressions.

After a moment, he grinned, revealing an innocent smile, and called out in his tender, childish voice, "Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Mom..."

Hearing their grandson's clear voice, everyone finally felt relieved. Dai Zhan, in particular, couldn't wait to lean down and ask, "Son, how are you feeling? Does your chest still hurt?"

Dai Xingyun's eyes immediately lit up, "It doesn't hurt anymore!" He even had a smile on his face.

The family breathed a sigh of relief. Grandpa Dai said to Dai Zhan earnestly, "We must keep every word the master said in mind! We must be cautious in our daily actions and never be careless."

Grandpa Dai then thought of his other son: "You'd better remember to remind your younger brother later."

After this incident, Dai Zhan realized that the master was indeed exceptionally skilled and extraordinary, so he nodded solemnly and said that he would keep these instructions in mind.

The next morning, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, before it was fully light, Ma Aning was about to get out of her warm bed when Shen Zishan stopped her.

With a smile on his face, Shen Zishan said softly, "Wife, we have an old tradition in our hometown: on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the men cook and do housework, while the women rest peacefully."

"So, just lie there quietly and enjoy this rare moment of peace and quiet."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Zishan rolled off the bed and began to get busy with his work in a swift and efficient manner.

He skillfully started a fire and boiled water, and in no time, the water in the pot was bubbling and boiling.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Zishan quickly picked up a kitchen knife and skillfully sliced ​​the snow-white rice cakes into even, thin slices.

He then carefully washed some fresh, tender green cabbages and fragrant cilantro, and took out some salted meat from the cupboard. He took out a piece of tender, juicy pork, washed off the salt, and carefully sliced ​​it into thin slices for later use.

With everything prepared, Shen Zishan confidently began frying rice cakes.

As the hot oil sizzled in the pan, various ingredients were added one by one, instantly filling the kitchen with an enticing aroma.

The rich aroma seemed to transform into an invisible little hand, gently teasing one's taste buds and making one's mouth water.

Meanwhile, Ma Aning, with a happy smile on her face, quietly gazed at Shen Zishan's busy figure in the kitchen, her heart filled with sweetness and warmth.

The couple served the rice cakes together and put them on the table to eat.

After the meal, the plan was to pay respects to the ancestors. All the men in the village waited at the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors together, and then went to pay their respects along the tombstones of the older generation in the village.

In previous years, this day was particularly lively, but now, with the destruction of the Four Olds, people don't even dare to secretly worship.

We had to omit this step, leaving only one step: children born last year can now be added to the family genealogy.

Even the family tree was hidden away, uploaded secretly.

Shen Zishan's family has welcomed two new children this year, who will be added to the family genealogy. Seeing that it was getting late, the two of them quickened their pace of eating rice cakes.

Shen Zishan turned to his wife, Ma Aning, and said with a smile, "Honey, I'll trouble you to help our two precious darlings get ready. I'll take them to the village chief's house to register them in the family genealogy later. As for the mess on the table, I'll clean it up."

After hearing this, Ma Aning nodded gently and replied, "Okay!" Then she got up and walked quickly towards the room.

Upon entering the room, Ma Aning first noticed her children, who were fast asleep. She carefully walked to the bedside and gently lifted the little ones out of the blankets.

Then, with practiced ease, she dressed him in the red cloth garment that she had gone to great lengths to buy.

The bright and eye-catching colors of the clothes made the little guy even more adorable, just like a festive New Year's picture doll.

Ma Aning gazed at her son with delight, muttering to herself, "My good son, he's so handsome! He looks exactly like a doll from a New Year's painting!"

Then, she gently placed Shen Xiaochuan on the edge of the bed and let him sit up against the soft blankets.

After settling her son in, Ma Aning quickly turned around and picked up her daughter, Shen Xiaoxiao.

She quickly dressed her daughter in the same beautiful clothes as her brother.

In no time, both children were dressed up beautifully and looked radiant.

Looking at her carefully crafted "work," Ma Aning felt a surge of happiness and satisfaction.

"If only I had a camera right now to capture this beautiful moment!" she thought, a bright smile spreading across her face.
