After the two kicked the door open, they rushed into the yard without any explanation. Judging from their panting appearance, they must have been running all the way.
Seeing them like this, I was a little puzzled. According to what Wu Tinghan said, unless the lady boss of the noodle restaurant is willing, other people can't enter our Chenjia Village, right? So how did the two of them get in?
But if the lady boss of the noodle shop allowed them to come in, with her ability, she shouldn’t have to let them come in, right? Just like when we went out and came in before, didn't we just step through a courtyard gate?
Besides, from what Zhang Hazi said, it was obvious that they had never met the proprietress of the noodle shop, otherwise they wouldn't be worried that someone would attack Wu Tinghan.
I glanced at Wu Tinghan and found that she stood up immediately and walked towards the two of them. Then I saw Mr. Wang's face full of excitement, he must have recognized Zhang Hazi.
I saw Wu Tinghan walking forward with a bit of surprise in her words. She asked, why are you two here?
I was also listening carefully when I heard Zhang Hazi shouting: I am an ancestor in your house. Even Wu Tinghan dares to pretend to be me. If you really think I am an old man, you can’t even tell the difference between the real thing and the fake one. Come out old? Hey, give me a knife and chop her to death!
I thought this was Zhang Hazi's joke, but I didn't expect Luo Xiaoyang to seriously raise the bamboo knife in his hand and slash at Wu Tinghan without saying a word. I only heard a "dang" sound, and was struck by Wu Tinghan. Tinghan blocked it with the judge's pen.
After Wu Tinghan blocked the blow, he kicked Luo Xiaoyang and cursed at Zhang Hazi, "Zhang Polu, what's wrong with you?"
Luo Xiaoyang, who avoided Wu Tinghan's kick, retreated to Zhang Hazi and whispered to him, as if it was true.
Zhang Hazi hit Luo Xiaoyang's leg with a bamboo stick and said, "Who can stop you from being stabbed now, except that old woman?" ----But then again, teacher, why don't you kill her when you have nothing to do?
While talking, I saw Zhang Hazi tapping the bamboo stick and moving to the side, and even used the bamboo stick to draw a line on the ground, as if to draw a clear line with Luo Xiaoyang. This wave of operations was accompanied by What he said made me confused.
Of course, Mr. Wang was equally confused. And I estimate that Mr. Wang’s heart should be even more broken than mine at this time.
But Luo Xiaoyang seemed to have long been accustomed to Zhang Hazi's deceitful operation. Instead, he directly told Wu Tinghan that the border boundary you left on him was gone. We thought something had happened to you, so we were the first to do so. Time has passed.
When I heard this, I was stunned.
They were probably talking about the time when Wu Tinghan's body was weighed by Yize, which was almost just after midnight, and now that it was getting brighter in the east, it only took five hours. Thinking about it, it would take three or four hours just to drive from Laosicheng to my home, not to mention the three-hour journey from the town to our village... So, how did they get here? !
Seeing their clothes soaked with sweat, I suddenly felt envious of Wu Tinghan. At least, there are two people in the world who care about her. I think she is happier than anyone else, right?
Wu Tinghan shook his head and said, I'm fine, they two saved me.
As soon as I finished speaking, I saw Zhang Hazi and Luo Xiaoyang sitting on the ground at the same time. The former even opened his mouth to talk to the latter, saying that it would burn his throat if he drank from it.
Luo Xiaoyang said, there is a water tank on your right, go and drink it yourself.
Mr. Wang spoke first and said that it was river water and should not be drunk. I'll get you some water.
Zhang Hazi laughed and said, rural people just know how to play, and the well water in the water tank does not pretend to be river water...
When he said this, he suddenly paused, then raised his head to look at Wu Tinghan, and asked, "Is it possible to measure the corpse's body weight with water?"
At this time, Mr. Wang passed by me and muttered to himself, Zhang Hazi is Zhang Hazi. He couldn't see it with his eyes. He only heard that the drops in the water tank were river water, so he guessed that it was Yize. Measuring the corpse, tut tut tut…
Wu Tinghan nodded and said, you guessed it right, it was Ting Gong's method, and he was the seventh.
After that, Wu Tinghan explained to them the fact that the village was a painting in a concise and concise manner. At this time, the sky was completely bright. Mr. Wang took the initiative to go to the kitchen to make breakfast, but I stopped him and asked him to sit down. While resting, I went into the kitchen.
Breakfast was very simple, it was still noodles. When I finished cooking and served it to the table, Wu Tinghan hadn't even finished explaining the matter.
After Wu Tinghan finished speaking, she asked them, how did you get in?
Zhang Hazi said, no wonder before entering the village, he went to the mountain road to attack the wall with ghosts. He encountered a paper man to send his soul, but he was frustrated and chopped him open with a knife, and forced his way in.
Only then did I realize that outsiders really couldn't get in without the permission of the proprietress of the noodle shop, and the only way to do it was to hit the wall by a ghost. The people in the town believe this very much, so as long as three or four people have encountered ghosts hitting the wall, no one will come back to this road again.
When I put away the dishes and came out, I found that the four of them were looking at me, as if there was something dirty on my face.
The first person to speak was Mr. Wang, who is most familiar with me. He asked me, what are your next steps?
Finally back to this heavy topic, I don't want to face it, but I have to face it.
I shook my head honestly and said, I failed to hide the truth, I don’t think I will live much longer. For the rest of the time, I want to stay here and finish the last journey.
This is not because I am pessimistic, but because I am very aware of my current situation.
Since grandpa decided to hide the truth, he must have reached the point where he had to implement it. Otherwise, I have been here for 22 years, and there is nothing wrong with continuing to live like this. There is no need for him to take the risk of failure to hide the truth.
So this must be implemented, naturally it is me now. With my current attitude, it will definitely be difficult for me to continue to survive, which is why grandpa was forced to take risks.
Wu Tinghan said, if you are willing, come with us to Laosicheng, and the three of us will find a way to keep you alive.
I smiled, shook my head, and said, there is no need. Even the game that Senior Luo and my grandfather have worked so hard for fifty-five years has not been able to be realized, so there is no need to bother you anymore.
At this time, Luo Xiaoyang suddenly spoke and said, the game my grandfather laid out fifty-five years ago might not work, but the game he laid out forty-five years ago might work. At least, there should be no problem for you to continue living in your current state.
After he said this, I saw that Wu Tinghan and Mr. Wang looked surprised, while Zhang Hazi, who was sitting next to him, looked very calm, and seemed to know that what Luo Xiaoyang said was not a lie.
Mr. Wang was impatient and asked directly, did Senior Luo have such a plan forty-five years ago?
Luo Xiaoyang nodded and said that he was hiding something from the truth, and from the current point of view, it is not a problem to live to at least 30 years old.
Mr. Wang asked again, why are you so sure? And the numbers are so accurate?
He said, because I am the result of his game, I am 30 years old this year.
Mr. Wang, who was sitting on the chair, couldn't sit still. He leaned back and sat on the ground, falling on his back. His expression was even more frightened. He pointed at Luo Xiaoyang and said, you... you are not a living person either?
Luo Xiaoyang smiled and said, I am a human or a ghost, can't you tell? If you really think about it, we, the Luo family, are of the same lineage as your Wang family carpenters, and we still have some grievances that need to be settled.
I saw Mr. Wang start to tremble when he heard this, so much so that his voice began to tremble, and asked Luo Xiaoyang, why are we, the carpenters, provoking your Luo family? Besides, your grandpa is so famous, who would dare to mess with him?
Luo Xiaoyang didn't talk much and only said three words: Wang Mingxuan!
I saw Mr. Wang's body freeze instantly, as if he was petrified, and he was completely stunned on the spot, as if he had seen some horrific scene and was frightened to death.
The courtyard became quiet again. After a long while, Mr. Wang muttered to himself, "I see, that's it. No wonder my senior brother, with his ability, would die without making a sound. It turned out to be to provoke him to the Luo court."
After finishing speaking, he suddenly shook his head and said, No, my senior brother has lost his luck, how could he possibly provoke the Luo court? …could it be that…
At this point, he suddenly paused, then glanced at Luo Xiaoyang, then nodded slowly and said, it turned out to be the same thing, but now it makes sense. So you plan to do something about it, come to Wendiha or come to Wudi?
When Zhang Hazi heard this, he jumped up and pointed at Mr. Wang with the gun in his hand and said, "I'm going to let you live like an ancestor. Isn't this my line?" (In the first part, what Zhang Hazi said to Jiang Yuanzhi in the underground palace of Laosicheng) Do you know how to steal the show?
I saw Luo Xiaoyang reaching out and patting the bamboo stick in Zhang Hazi's hand, telling him to sit down properly, and then said to Mr. Wang, "Looking at you, you really don't know about your senior brother." Things in the circle are always determined by one's own cause and effect, and Wang Mingxuan's matter has nothing to do with you.
Mr. Wang nodded when he heard this, and then he stopped talking. Instead, he got up from the ground, sat on a chair, and curled up into a ball, like a frightened kitten. It was so quiet that it was scary.
At this time, Luo Xiaoyang looked at me again and asked me, how are you thinking?
As before, I shook my head and said, thank you for your kindness, I understand it, and I still decided to stay here. After all, these villagers are the ghosts of my grandfather, and I have to stay with them, which can be regarded as a kind of forgiveness for what my elders have done.
Seeing my resolute attitude, I thought they would try to persuade me like others, but they didn't. They were all very sensible and did not waste time on me, but chose to stand up and leave.
When they were leaving, I couldn't help being curious and asked Luo Xiaoyang, if I still have time, I hope to hear you tell your past stories.
He was startled, then nodded and said, my story is not over yet. If you want to hear it, just come to me in Laosicheng.
After saying that, he turned around and stepped out of the threshold, and his figure quickly disappeared.
At the end, when only Wu Tinghan was left, she, who was always concise and concise and said no nonsense, turned back to me and said the first nonsense sentence since I met her: "Goodbye".
After she stepped out of the threshold and disappeared, the sky that should have been bright suddenly turned dark, and I felt sleepy. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't open my eyes and had to fall into the endless. In the darkness, unconsciousness circulates...
Just a second before I lost consciousness, I seemed to hear Zhang Hazi's signature voice, asking Wu Tinghan: "Do you think he will believe what you told his father?"
