I saw that the mute ghost was very excited when he first saw the elder sister's drum. He turned into a black air and surrounded the drum body, but he soon turned into a human form again, and then shook his head at Song Jiang with a disappointed look on his face. shook his head.
The result is self-evident. This is not the Ajie drum from back then. Song Jiang also thought about it carefully afterward. There is no way there is only one Ajie drum in this world. After all, there were so many so-called saints who had this He was persecuted to death.
Song Jiang and Meng Zhe were actually prepared that something was wrong before they came, but now that it was confirmed that it was not Mei Duo's sister Gu, they were inevitably a little disappointed... If outsiders like them were like this, it would be even more... Don't call the person involved a mute ghost, the disappointment on his face is simply beyond words.
Moreover, the moment Meng Zhe saw the elder sister's drum, he had already guessed the result, because he couldn't feel the breath of ghosts there... He didn't say it directly, he just wanted to let Song Jiang himself find out the answer.
The matter is not over yet. They still have the hunter Lao Bing. If the man surnamed Deng is telling the truth, then they should find a new clue in Lao Bing...
Before Song Jiang could speak, Meng Zhe waved his hand and said to the mute ghost, "You go back first. There is another one... Don't worry, you will always find it."
After hearing this, the mute ghost knew that Song Jiang and the others had not given up, so he bowed deeply to the two of them, then turned around and turned into a line of black energy and returned to the totem statue.
Song Jiang looked at Sister Gu on the table with a pity look on his face and said, "Then what should we do about this?"
Meng Zhe said indifferently, "It's just a dead thing... There is no ghost attached to it. Sometimes the meaning of some things is actually given by living people, not the things themselves."
When Uncle Deng and Xiao Jia regained their consciousness, they had no idea what had just happened. They just thought they were distracted. Song Jiang regretfully told them that something was wrong, but they should have found the general direction, so they took the next step. I want to visit my home in Laoshan Mountain...
As soon as Song Jiang said this, Xiao Jia thought it was nothing, because Song Jiang and the others had said before that no matter whether the deal could be concluded or not, his benefits would not be less, but Uncle Deng was obviously hesitant.
"What? Is there any problem? If there is something we want from Lao Zhen, you can take it from him first and then resell it to us..." Meng Zhe said boldly.
After hearing this, Song Jiang agreed, "Don't worry, we won't treat you badly."
Unexpectedly, Uncle Deng shook his head and said, "You two have misunderstood what I meant. Lao Zhen has a bit of a weird temper... I'm not sure whether he will agree."
When Song Jiang heard this, he said in confusion, "Didn't you say that his family is very poor? There shouldn't be money that he doesn't make, right?"
Uncle Deng sighed after hearing this, "Lao Zhen is the kind of guy who is poor and has a tough temper. If he didn't really need money to buy medicine, he wouldn't easily sell the old things at home... First of all, he has a strong understanding of money. The desire is not big, and the second thing is that he has always felt that those things are very unlucky, so he is not willing to buy them for others easily. "...
"But he still bought you this Ajie drum... Let's try it first, and if it doesn't work, we'll talk about it later." Song Jiang said with a smile.
Since Xiao Jia had to lead a group the next day, he could not accompany Song Jiang and the others into the mountains. However, Uncle Deng said that he was very familiar with the mountain road to Lao Zhen's house and would never get lost in the mountains... So Song Jiang and the others went back to the hotel to stay for one night, and went to Cangduo Mountain with Uncle Deng early the next morning.
Lao Zhen's family lives in the deepest part of Cangduo Mountain, and the whole journey can only be reached on foot. It takes more than half a day just to go there every time. Even Uncle Deng can't explain why his family has to go there all the time. Stay away from the world.
The simple mountain road was not difficult to walk. Although it was surrounded by dense forests, Uncle Deng took them along a trail that had been trampled by people walking all year round. Apart from using up some physical strength, there was nothing else...
As Uncle Deng walked, he introduced the situation of Lao Meng's family to Song Jiang and the others, "Lao Meng's daughter-in-law doesn't talk much, and her son has been sick all year round, so every time I see Lao Meng, he doesn't show any signs of illness.
He looked like he was smiling, but his life was not easy anyway. "
When Song Jiang heard this, he asked curiously, "What disease does Lao Zhen's son have? Why doesn't he go down the mountain to get cured?!"
After hearing this, Uncle Deng sighed and said, "It's not like I haven't gone down the mountain to see it. The big hospital in the city said what he had...myasthenia, which can't be cured at all. A young man of eighteen or nineteen years old still wants his parents to give him shit." Pee, this may be the reason why Lao Meng is unwilling to go down the mountain."
After listening to Uncle Deng's talk about the situation of Lao Zhen's family, Song Jiang's mind automatically had an image of a middle-aged man with a vicissitudes of life and an unsmiling look on his face. He didn't need to think too much to know that their life must be very difficult...
Thinking of this, Song Jiang continued to ask, "He bought that sister drum just to treat his son's illness?!"
After hearing this, Uncle Deng said helplessly, "At that time, a very powerful old Chinese doctor came to the county. He said he specializes in treating difficult and complicated diseases. When he found out about it, he thought that if Western medicine could not work, maybe Chinese medicine could? The child was not yet there. When you reach the age of twenty, you can't stay in bed all your life, right? But after you went there, the other party asked for 50,000 yuan, and he also promised to cure the child's disease... But how could Lao Meng's family have so much money? Huh? The living expenses of the whole family depended on him going into the mountains to hunt and sell skins by himself. There was no money left at all all year round. In addition, he never interacted with others, so he had no one to borrow money from at critical times. I knew at that time After this incident, I helped him collect 50,000 yuan, thinking that he had saved my life at least, so it would be great if he could help me. But Lao Bin was stubborn and said that he would never be able to repay me even if he hunted all his life. Finally, I gave this sister’s drum to me.”
Song Jiang didn't expect that the wretched old man in front of him was quite friendly, so he casually asked, "Has Xiao Zhen's illness been cured?"
Uncle Deng shook his head helplessly and said, "No...that guy is just a liar. He took Lao Zhen's money and ran away that night."
When Song Jiang heard this, he said angrily, "Isn't this liar too wicked!? He is already miserable enough, but he can still do it... It's best not to let me touch that guy, otherwise I will definitely beat him The ground is full of teeth!"
Seeing Song Jiang's angry look, Meng Zhe said funnyly, "What kind of punishment is a beating? If such a person falls into my hands, I will make him have no peace for the rest of his life."
