Hogwarts Crawler

Adam glanced at Ms. Li, who nodded to him before Adam sat in the passenger seat.

Li Chunyi found his little adult look a little funny, but thinking about what he was going to say next, he couldn't laugh anymore. He sat in the driver's seat and slowly started the car, then said:

"I'll take you to the Peninsula Hotel later... Can my nephew sleep by himself at night? If so, come with me to the Li family's old house..."

At the end, Li Chunyi's words were already low and vague. He really couldn't bear to say such things.

That's right, after knowing that Adam was a wizard with a talent for cultivation, the Li family called him back, which was considered to have accepted this descendant, but they didn't call Ms. Li!

"Okay."

Adam nodded.

"Otherwise, actually... um?"

A question mark appeared on Li Chunyi's head, and he turned to look at Adam:

"You..."

"Don't look at me, look ahead!"

Adam's eyelids jumped fiercely.

"Oh, oh, oh!"

Li Chunyi quickly looked ahead and straightened the car that had deviated slightly, but he couldn't help wondering in his heart:

"You... don't blame the ancestors?"

Even if he was a little bit resentful in his heart, but the decision was made by the ancestors, let alone the brothers, even if his parents disagreed, there was nothing they could do.

But this eldest nephew...

"Strange, but understandable."

Adam was also helpless when he said this.

It's rogue to evaluate a person's behavior without considering the background of the times - and what era did the ancestor of the Li family live in?

No, to be precise, the dynasty was still used when he was born!

As a person who was still under the rule of the emperor in his youth, saw the mountains and rivers of his homeland broken apart in his middle age, and the land under his feet was torn apart by both sides in his later years, he was hostile to the British and even hated them, and didn't want his descendants to marry the British. It was really something that could not be blamed.

That old ancestor belongs to the very few wizards who identify with their own country as mentioned before... Can Adam still blame him for being too patriotic?

Even though Adam is the son of Ms. Li who was affected, he can say that his behavior of generalizing is irrational, but he has no right to ask him to be rational.

For those who have personally experienced that era, being rational is a gift, and being unable to be rational is human nature.

Even among the Japanese who live a good life, there are good people like Ida Sukeno in that era - that being said, there are only a few people who can truly treat the people who live a good life rationally after decades, and most of them are "rational" with their butts crooked.

Rather than saying that the old ancestor is irrational, it is better to say that in that situation, he can only verbally disagree, allowing Ms. Li to go back with Mr. Reed, and allowing Adam's grandparents to give her a large sum of money...

Turning a blind eye and assuming that this great-granddaughter who has no talent for cultivation does not exist, the old ancestor is already very rational, even open-minded.

So what can Adam do?

Come back, recognize your ancestors, and turn a blind eye to some dissatisfaction during the period, just to let Ms. Li untie a knot in her heart.

Go back after the process, I can't afford to provoke you, but I can afford to hide - this is the true portrayal of Adam's heart when he came.

However, after arriving at the old house of the Li family, Adam found that his previous estimation of the Li family was partially biased.

Of course, it was not about character and attitude, but... family background.

There was no expected mansion in the mountains, or a courtyard with pavilions and towers. Passing through the alley, an old building came into view. The door in the front and the plaque of the Li's house showed the ownership of this place.

Looking at the real "old" house in front of him, Adam fell into silence.

It is not cheap to buy such a large place, but Adam knows that at least five generations of the Li family have lived here. And looking at the bumpy white walls, some roofs even use iron and plastic plates instead of tiles...

Because of Ms. Li, he always thought that the Li family was a wealthy family, but...Is Weasley myself?

"Well, the old house was passed down from my ancestors, and my ancestors were frugal, so they never did any major renovations..."

Li Chunyi made a dry excuse, and then took the lead in crossing the threshold:

"It will be much better inside, come with me, everyone wants to see you."

Adam followed him in.

Although it is called an old house, it is not a big yard, but more like a small urban area. Occasionally, you can see a few children running around in the alleys.

In a trance, Adam even felt like he was watching Hong Kong movies from the 1980s and 1990s... Oh, this is the era in those Hong Kong movies, so it's okay.

"Pah--"

"Ah!"

Accompanied by wailing, a child suddenly came from the side.He ran out of the alley next to him and ran into another alley. Before Adam could see clearly, a black shadow flew after him.

That was - the black shadow that flashed in Adam's mind gradually became clear - a feather duster?

"Bastard! I think you are itching for trouble! Don't run!"

Accompanied by the sound of slippers hitting the ground, a woman in a floral dress walked out of the alley just now angrily. When she saw Li Chunyi and Adam, she stopped immediately and the anger on her face turned into a smile in a second:

"Hey, Chunyi is back? This is..."

"Sister Fang, this is the eldest sister's son. The ancestors called him back to join the family tree."

"... Chunying's son?"

The woman was startled and looked at Adam for a long time:

"I used to skip school and climb trees with her. In the blink of an eye, her son has grown up so big..."

"Ha! Mom, you are still talking about me! You obviously don't like going to school either!"

A head popped out from the alley opposite, it was the child just now.

"You want to compete with me?"

The woman put her hands on her hips and glared:

"Chunying and I skipped school and still got into the top ten in our grade! What about you? Your blood pressure in three subjects combined is not as high as mine! Come here!"

The child shuddered. He had not thought of coming over, but the woman hooked her finger, and the child felt a familiar long feathered object poking his back from behind...

The marks on his buttocks felt hot, prompting him to lower his head and move behind the woman.

"Come and call someone, this is my uncle, this is my cousin."

"Uncle, cousin."

It turns out that the child whose final results just came out is really terribly well-behaved, especially after being beaten.

Li Chunyi scratched his head. He didn't prepare a red envelope...

"Hello, cousin."

Adam smiled and handed over a candy. Almond slices were sprinkled on the milky white nougat, exuding an attractive sweet fragrance. The child's eyes lit up immediately, but then he looked at the woman again and didn't dare to come forward.

"Just keep what your cousin gave you."

The woman sighed, and then said helplessly:

"But don't cry when your teeth hurt!"

"Don't worry, Aunt Fang, this candy is made of special materials, and it won't damage your teeth."

Adam stuffed the candy into the hands of the child who looked a little hesitant.

The child stuffed the candy directly into his mouth, and the sweetness spreading between his lips and teeth made him squint his eyes all of a sudden.

"You just know how to eat!"

The woman couldn't help but reach out and touch his forehead, then looked at Adam, with emotion and nostalgia in her expression:

"What a good child... Is your mother back too?"

Adam looked at Li Chunyi.

"Not back."

Li Chunyi said with a smile.

The woman raised her eyebrows, looked at Li Chunyi's face, subconsciously wanted to turn her head, but immediately stopped, and then naturally raised her hand to gather her hair:

"Not back... OK."
