Chapter 466: Alcoholism. Continued
"Ah."

"You don't have to worry."

"The kid's going to be fine."

Xiao Xiao nodded, he was just a drunkard.

……

"real?!"

The Zhang family said in unison.

The joy came so suddenly that the Zhang family was a little overwhelmed.

……

"real or fake?"

Wu Zhe and Wang Nan couldn't help but look at each other and muttered.

……

Zhang Lin had talked about this child's situation in the dormitory before, and they also knew something about it.

At that time, they thought that Zhang Lin was thinking too much.

Later, Meng Jixi specially found a master for Zhang Lin, which surprised them even more.

Now that they have come to Zhang Lin’s home and see that the child looks completely normal, do they really think that the Zhang family is overthinking it?
It's right to care about your children, but it's not good to worry too much.

But they are guests after all, so some things should just be thought about in your mind but not spoken out loud.

……

But, this Master Xiao just looked at the child for a few times, less than a minute, right?

Does this mean he has a solution?

What a liar! This is it!
……

However, the Zhang family's excited expressions made them speechless.

They are not that ignorant yet.

Forget it, fake can’t be real. If Master Xiao is really a liar, he will definitely be exposed later.

Wang Nan and Wu Zhe kept a close eye on Master Xiao's every move, trying to discover if anything was wrong with Master Xiao as soon as possible.

……

"Then, Master Xiao, what's wrong with the child?"

Grandpa Zhang was the first to react and asked anxiously.

This is also a problem that has troubled them for a long time.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, this child just became addicted to alcohol too early because of the bad behavior of their adults.

But they think it is not.

It's not that they are shirking responsibility, but there is really something wrong with the child.

It's just that they can only vaguely feel it but can't discover this problem.

Although this has also been criticized by others as being due to their unwillingness to admit their mistakes.

……

The other members of the Zhang family, as well as Meng Jixi, Wang Nan, and Wu Zhe all stared at Master Xiao, having no idea what answer he would give.

Xiao Xiao curled the corners of his mouth, revealing a faint smile.

"Can you give me a room where I can be alone with the child?"

……

Zhang Family: ...

Meng Jixi: ...

Wang Nan: …

Wu Zhe: …

Xiao Xiao's irrelevant answer left everyone confused.

……

"This……"

Liu Qian couldn't help but hold the child's hand tightly, but instinctively paid attention to the strength.

She had accidentally hurt her child once before, and as a mother, she would not make the same mistake again.

……

"Let you stay in a room alone with the child?"

"Who knows what you're going to do with the child?"

Wu Zhe couldn't help but speak sarcastically. Although his words were unpleasant to the ear, he did express the hidden worries in the hearts of the Zhang family members present.

Even Grandpa Zhang, who looked at Master Xiao differently, became a little hesitant. No matter how unusual Master Xiao gave him, he was after all just a stranger they met for the first time.

I had originally thought that since they were all watching right beside me, nothing would happen even if it turned out to be a false alarm.

But I didn't expect Master Xiao to make such a request...

The room fell silent for a moment. …

Xiao Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, seeming unaware of everything around him.

His brows were slightly raised, as if he was struggling with something.

……

The alcohol bug stays in the child's body, and except for making the child addicted to alcohol, nothing else will happen for the time being.

Moreover, in order to drink, the wine bug will keep the host rich.

From this point of view, the wine bug seems to be a very auspicious monster.

……

But monsters are monsters after all.

Just like what the Zhang family did before, once the alcohol bug is deprived of alcohol, it will become irritable.

It will slowly devour the host's energy until the host is drained dry, then bite a small hole in the host's stomach, crawl out, and then go look for the next host.

……

So, fortunately, the Zhang family stopped prohibiting their children from drinking in time.

Otherwise, the child might have lost his life.

……

However, if the wine worm's appetite is always satisfied, it will stay quietly in the host's body and will not have any other bad effects on the host.

On the contrary, the host will continue to remain rich and prosperous.

Until the moment of death, the host will not struggle for a living and will not suffer from poverty.

However, the next moment the host closes his eyes, the alcohol worm will eat the host's body.

Because the host who has been drinking all his life, especially at the end, is affected by the alcohol bug, he only needs to drink to maintain his daily life needs.

The body of such a host has been infected by the smell of alcohol, which is nothing short of a delicacy for the alcohol bug.

……

Xiao Xiao is not sure what choice the Zhang family will make?

Should he tell the Zhang family this?
After all, if a lifetime of drinking is exchanged for a lifetime of wealth, even if nothing is left after death, perhaps there would be many people who would be willing to do so, right?

What's more, things are different now than before, and people don't attach as much importance to what happens after death as the ancients did.

The ancients were unwilling to even be cremated, but now more and more people are choosing cremation.

So, even though cremation leaves behind a handful of ashes, it's actually almost the same as being eaten, right?

It can also bring wealth and honor that many people strive for their whole lives but cannot obtain...

……

The alcohol bug is not common.

After all, this ability to bring wealth to people is unique.

This can also be considered an opportunity for the Zhang family.

Even if there is a price to pay.

But is there anything in the world that doesn't require a price?
Getting something for nothing is ultimately just a delusion.

If you want to get something, you must pay for it.

……

"Then only the Zhang family can stay."

Xiao Xiao raised his eyes, his expression was cold and showed that he could not be refused.

"well."

Grandpa Zhang agreed quickly.

In fact, if Master Xiao really insisted on his original request, perhaps Grandpa Zhang would agree in the end.

Now that Master Xiao has made a concession, Grandpa Zhang will naturally not push his luck further.

He looked at Meng Jixi and the others with an apologetic look on his face, "Classmates..."

"Let's go for a walk in the yard first."

Meng Jixi spoke very consciously without waiting for Grandpa Zhang to finish his words.

"terribly sorry."

Zhang Lin smiled apologetically to his brothers, especially Meng Jixi. Master Xiao was invited through Meng Jixi's introduction. Although it was not his original intention, he still felt uncomfortable as if he had crossed the river and was destroying the bridge.

However, now that things had developed to this point, he also wanted to hear what Master Xiao had to say about his nephew's situation.

"fine."

Xiuxiu told him a lot about Master Xiao, including the fact that Master Xiao didn't like to have other people present when he was doing things.

But this time, Master Xiao kept the Zhang family. Why?
He didn't believe that it was just to reassure the Zhang family, there must be some other reason.
