The opera singer glanced at Wang Ye faintly, then turned away with the wooden box in his arms and disappeared into the city.
Compared to last time, there was an extra rocking chair in the grocery store, placed in front of the counter. The old woman was sitting on the rocking chair, her eyes closed, and she seemed to have fallen asleep.
Wang Ye glanced at the old woman and then focused on the broken door behind the counter.
Last time, the scene at the door impressed him deeply, but he didn't know if there would still be that weird scene after changing the place.
However... the wooden chair I took away was a bit badly damaged, so I wonder if I can replenish it.
Wang Ye calmly glanced at the three lonely chairs in front of Mu Fang's table, picked one and sat down.
The old woman turned a blind eye to Wang Ye's actions, and the only sound in the room was the gentle rocking of the rocking chair.
There was a moment of silence.
Wang Ye looked at the old woman and suddenly said, "Can we talk?"
The rocking chair pauses.
The old woman opened her slightly cloudy eyes and looked at Wang Ye, seemingly confused: "I just do a small business to make ends meet. I don't know what Captain Wang and I, an old woman, have to talk about."
...
Wang Ye frowned and tried to look more plain: "We talked about a lot, such as the orphanage, such as...the bridge."
The old woman's body stiffened, and she stood up from the rocking chair. Her eyes were fixed on Wang Ye: "What kind of bridge!"
"What do you think?"
Wang Ye kicked the ball back calmly, looking enigmatic and as if he knew everything.
The old woman looked directly into Wang Ye's eyes, and Wang Ye was also unwilling to be outdone.
After a while.
The old woman suddenly smiled, regained her relaxed state again, and sat on the rocking chair: "Captain Wang, please don't scare me, I really don't understand what you are saying."
Depend on!
Wang Ye cursed secretly. Although he didn't know what went wrong with his performance, the old man must have seen the flaw!
A guy who has lived for such a long time cannot be underestimated at all.
"I won't ask you any more questions about the bridge."
"But the orphanage... old director, you have to tell me."
"After all, I have been living in a state of confusion for 20 years and have been kept in the dark. This feeling can drive a person crazy."
Wang Ye's face remained calm, but his voice was firm.
It seems that this is his bottom line. If he doesn't give an explanation for this matter today, he will never give up.
Of course... it would be a bit ridiculous to say this based on his current strength.
But...he has a life! Although I don't know what plot these big guys have planned for him, at least they have one thing in common, that is, they don't want him to die.
In other words, I don't want him to die so early.
Sometimes when the chips go crazy, it can also cause headaches for chess players.
The old woman glanced at Wang Ye, as if she had guessed his inner thoughts, and sighed helplessly.
"I picked up three children back then. They were so pitiful that I adopted you."
"Later, when you grew up, I also had my own things to do. I really didn't have the energy to take care of you anymore, so I entrusted you to a good family. I wanted you to live a good life."
Wang Ye tapped his fingers on the wooden table: "Is it that simple?"
The old woman nodded.
"As for the life experiences of the three of us, since you don't want to tell me, I won't force you. But..."
"Lu Qing, who is it?"
"You've already answered my two questions in a row. After all, you raised me, and I still respect you very much..."
"But I am a stubborn person, and you are not even willing to talk about this issue, so I..."
Wang Ye seemed to have guessed what the old woman was thinking, and only raised his real question at the last moment.
This was something he had already considered before coming.
Compared with the first two, the only one who is likely to make the old woman speak is Lu Qing.
As he spoke, the boning knife slipped into Wang Ye's palm, and the tip of the knife was pointed at his heart, his expression unchanged!
The old woman sighed: "My child, with your current constitution, you won't die if you stab your heart."
"To pierce the center of the eyebrow, you also need to use energy to shake the blade."
"Okay!" Wang Ye said lightly. Without hesitation, he picked up the boning knife and stabbed it between his eyebrows. He also covered the blade with a layer of energy and kept vibrating.
Just when the tip of the knife was only an inch away from the center of his eyebrows.
"Oh, you still have the same temperament as when you were a child."
The old woman finally sighed, and no matter how hard Wang Ye tried, the tip of the knife was firmly fixed at the position one inch in front of the eyebrows, unable to move any further.
"Lu Qing... you can be considered a friend of mine many years ago."
"I opened an orphanage, and he had nowhere to go at that time, so he stayed in my orphanage as a teacher."
"Later, something happened and I disbanded the orphanage, and he left too. We haven't contacted him again since then."
The old woman waved her hand, and Wang Ye's right hand fell uncontrollably and placed the boning knife on the table.
"You know, that's not what I want to know."
Wang Ye's expression remained unchanged, he looked at the old woman and said.
The old woman nodded: "He used to be... called King of Five Senses. That should be his name. It's been so long that I can't remember clearly."
"But you don't know about this either."
"But child, neither I nor Lu Qing, not even the little guy next door, will have any ill will towards you. We are just the sorrows left over from the times and have shouldered too much."
"It's normal for you to be suspicious since you were a child and not trust us."
"But if we were to harm you, you would have left this world forever the day we picked you up."
"We just don't want you to live like us, it's too tiring."
"Relax, as long as I don't die, I will protect you."
"Have you said this...enough?"
When the old woman's voice ended, Wang Ye regained control of his body again.
"I believe what you said."
"I believe that you, and Lu Qing, may not have any ill intentions towards me."
"But...what about the post office?"
"You know what I'm talking about!"
Wang Ye's eyes were particularly bright, and he stared at the old woman without giving an inch, carefully observing the old woman's expression.
really...
After Wang Ye said the name of the post office, the old woman's expression remained calm, without any surprise.
she...
Sure enough, I know the post office.
"post office..."
The old woman murmured to herself, as if she was caught in some kind of memory.
