Chapter 173 Employer Zhang Fang

I tapped the table twice: "Did the employer bring it?"

"Here he comes!" Lao Liu pointed to the door: "He is already in the living room on the first floor. I dare not let him come up until you and Ye Yang have discussed it."

I nodded slightly: "Let him come up!"

After a while, Lao Liu brought over a handsome young man. He was a little shy when he spoke, but I could tell from his muscles and bones that he was a practicing practitioner.

I gestured to sit down, and Yun Shang, who came in from outside, also poured tea for me.

The moment Yun Shang served him tea, the man's eyes stopped on Yun Sang's face and could not move away anymore.

Yun Chang stepped aside without even glancing at the other person from the corner of his eyes. As the person's eyes moved with Yun Chang, I coughed dryly and said, "Are you Zhang Fang?"

Only then did the other party come back to his senses and smiled sheepishly: "Yes, I am Zhang Fang."

I responded: "Tell me, what trouble did you encounter?"

Zhang Fang was silent for a moment and said: "My trouble is because I looked in the mirror."

I just frowned slightly, and Zhang Fang continued: "This matter has to start with the weird rules in my family. I'll tell you slowly!"

Zhang Fang organized his language and then said softly:

The two words I have heard the most since I was a child are: rules

My dad said: Three hundred and sixty, there are rules when it comes to doing things. People who do things for nothing should not have mirrors at home.

Not only did my family never buy a mirror, but the water tank was also covered with black cloth. My dad wouldn’t let me go to the river since I was a child, so I could only use running water to wash my face. In short, I wasn’t allowed to go anywhere where I could shine a light on someone.

I'm not even allowed to look at it.

At first, I thought everyone in Baishixing was like this, but later I realized that this rule seemed to be established just for me.

My house is the last one on the funeral street. Others have mirrors hanging on their storefronts. But my house doesn’t have one.

It’s not like my second grandfather and my father don’t look in the mirror. When they look in the mirror, they always go to other people’s houses to take a look, and then come back after taking a look.

Everyone on Feng Shui Street seems to know this rule in my house. No matter whose house I visit, they always hide the mirror first, and even take off the Bagua mirror on the door frame.

Later, I finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked my dad: Why can't I look in the mirror?

At that time, I was also older, and even if my dad really wanted to look at me, he couldn't. Can he still follow me to school? There are many girls with small mirrors in school, so can I still not be able to find a mirror?

My dad thought for a long time: "You can't look in the mirror before you are twenty-one. After twenty-one, if you want to break the mirror, I won't care about you."

Now I was even more curious and wanted to find a mirror to try!

When my dad made me so angry, my second grandfather came in from outside and said to me: "Come here, I'll show you in the mirror!"

My second grandfather actually held a mirror in his hand. When I was happy, I grabbed the mirror from my second grandfather's hand and looked inside, regardless of whether my father stopped me.

Not only was my face not reflected in the mirror, but there was only a white mist. The more I looked at the mirror, the more I felt like the mirror was sinking in, as if it could sink me too.

At that time, I didn't know what was wrong. I wanted to throw the mirror out, but I couldn't.

When I was so frightened that I was about to cry, my second uncle raised his hand and slapped me, knocking the mirror off to the ground.

The mirror fell to pieces, and I was so frightened that I sat on the ground and cried. My dad held me in his arms for a long time before coaxing me back to health. I developed a high fever that night.

According to the practice of the elders, when a child is frightened, someone should call him Hun'er with clothes. If he calls Hun'er back, his illness will be cured.

My second grandfather, my father not only didn’t call me Hun’er, he didn’t even give me any medicine.

When I was feeling dizzy from the fever, I seemed to hear my dad say: "Second uncle, can you scare Zhang Fang like this?"

My second father sighed: "Children are very curious. If you don't scare them, they will have to look in the mirror sooner or later. Can we still look at them with all their might?"

"Just wait! When he reaches twenty-one, I will find a way to untie him."

I heard clearly what my second uncle and my father said that night. But after I recovered from my illness, I really didn’t dare to look in the mirror anymore. I shivered when I looked in the mirror from a distance.

When I was in school, I was the only one in the school who walked close to the door because I could avoid the formal mirror in the hall.

Later, I broke up with my first love because I didn't dare to look in the mirror.

Zhang Fang stopped here: "Do you think I went too far? In fact, my troubles are related to my family's rules and my first girlfriend."

I made a gesture and said, "Go on."

Zhang Fang specifically said: "Actually, my first girlfriend and I have broken up for many years."

Zhang Fang was speaking to Yun Shang. When he spoke, his eyes glanced towards Yun Sang. Seeing that Yun Shang had no special reaction, he continued:

My first love is named Dai Xuelin.
