Zhang Hazi and I had speculated on the identity of this big man before, but in the end we both agreed that he was not from the Xie family.
The reason is very simple. The craftsmen of the Xie family throughout the generations were good at manipulating other people's luck. They all did things that were hidden in the dark. Over time, their personality will naturally become gloomy and introverted. They will definitely not be like Xie Bubu. So heroic and generous.
In addition, the Xie family has always only focused on moving luck and doing technical work. No one is like Xie Bugui, who has ridiculously tyrannical strength. He does not look like a carpenter, but like a carpenter who needs to do strenuous work. One lineage.
So Zhang Hazi and I both thought that his surname just happened to be Xie, and he was probably not a member of the Xie family.
Therefore, when he announced his family name, Zhang Hazi and I were still quite surprised. We obviously didn't expect that we had come all the way, and we met the Xie family before we even reached our destination. And it seems pretty easy to deal with.
Xie Bugui seemed to notice Zhang Hazi and I's surprise at his identity, so he took the initiative to ask us if we thought I didn't look like someone from the Xie family?
I didn't hide anything, I just replied to him directly, telling him that it was indeed a little different from what I imagined.
He explained that it was okay, other people who knew my identity for the first time had the same reaction as you. I know that in your eyes, the Xie family are all scheming people, but everything has another side. Unfortunately, I am the other side of the Xie family.
Let me tell you, I think this is our luck.
That's not a compliment, but I do think so.
Xie Bugui didn't dwell too much on this matter, but returned to the previous topic and asked Zhang Hazi, can you tell me your story now?
Zhang Hazi said, Ha Tu Tu, you tell it.
Xie Bugui frowned and asked, let him talk about your matter?
Zhang Hazi said that this matter was caused by the death of his grandfather, and it was most appropriate for him to tell it.
Xie Bugui looked at me expectantly, waiting for my next step.
I didn't speak in a hurry, but glanced at Zhang Hazi, who also looked over with understanding, and then told me that he should not be the person named Xie, otherwise he would not go against Feng Weiye.
Zhang Hazi obviously knew my concerns, so he said this. I guess he was not the mastermind behind Chen Enren’s deception, otherwise he could have teamed up with Feng Weiye to trap the two of us in the Feng family’s old house and slaughter us at will.
It's just that I was bitten by a snake once and was afraid of the well rope. I was worried that I would neglect something, so I looked at Zhang Hazi to get an accurate answer from him.
Now that Zhang Hazi has said this, I know how much I should say to Xie Bugui.
So I told Xie Bugui the main things in a concise and concise manner, and focused on how their Kunjiang lineage fished in troubled waters and took advantage of my crisis to use the luck and calamity pulse to rob me of my luck.
By the time I finished speaking, the sun had already risen to a quarter of the sky. I washed my face by the river to hide my red eyes.
After Xie Bugui heard this, he also sighed for a while, and then said to Zhang Hazi, so you are suspicious and deceived Chen Enren to massacre the entire village, is it our Xie family?
I'm just doubtful, not sure yet.
Speaking of Xie Bugui, I can tell you with certainty that it is definitely not my Xie family.
I expected Xie Bugui to deny it, but I didn't expect him to be so sure. So I quickly asked him, why are you so sure?
He did not rush to answer me, but asked us, you all know that the Xie family is proficient in the art of luck transfer and Kun Xing. Logically speaking, it is easy to be the leader, but why have the Xie family been so skilled in craftsmanship in recent decades? Why don't you go to every grand event every five years?
Zhang Hazi and I have discussed this before, and we came to the conclusion that people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. In addition, the Xie family has always been hiding in the dark. If they were exposed, they would cause a lot of unnecessary trouble in the future, so they simply stayed behind closed doors.
But Xie Bugui shook his head and said, if this is true, why did the Xie family send people to attend every five-year gathering fifty-five years ago?
I don’t know about this. Zhang Hazi and I are both under thirty. What happened fifty-five years ago is only heard from the diary left by my grandma and other people’s mouths. It’s not very clear in itself. , if you push it further, you will completely fall into a blind spot of knowledge.
If the older generation were still alive, we might still be able to ask, but as far as the old people I know, such as my grandfather, Mr. Wang Changyuan, Mr. Zhang Jian, etc., all passed away one after another, there was no chance to ask about fifty-five years ago. things before.
The only one who is still alive is Ling Jiang's grandfather, the old man Ling Yantang of the Ling family. But unfortunately, he went crazy decades ago. There is no way to communicate with him, let alone ask him what happened decades ago. What happened.
So Zhang Hazi and I were really a little confused about this, so we shook our heads and said we didn't know, and asked him, why?
He said that because fifty-five years ago, in our Xiejia Village, except for the old, weak, sick and disabled, all those who were proficient in the art of Kun punishment would die. My father escaped because he was born with a disability and could not learn the Kun torture technique.
Fifty-five years ago?
It was actually fifty-five years ago again. This time point is too easy for people to imagine, right?
Also, what do you mean everyone is dead?
I don't dare to speculate on this kind of thing, so I have to ask Xie Bugui. Brother Xie, I don't mean to offend, but what do you mean when you say everything is dead?
Xie Bugui shook his head and said, I don't know the details very well. I just heard from my father that during that period, one person died every day, for one hundred and eight days in a row, and there was no sign of it. At first everyone thought they were infected with the plague, but later they discovered that only people who were proficient in craftsmanship died, and no one, old, weak, sick or disabled was affected, which was completely opposite to the situation of the plague.
This is indeed incredible. I thought about it, and then suddenly thought of a reason. Speaking of Xie Bugui, could it be the relationship between 'fate' and 'luck'? Those who are proficient in craftsmanship have accumulated too much luck in themselves, but in the end they have no life to enjoy, so they all die?
This is what Ling Jiang told me before, and I remember it clearly.
Zhang Hazi said, this is what they do. Do you think they can't handle the relationship between fate and luck?
Indeed, I cannot use my amateur eyes to see their professional methods.
But if it's not because of 'fate' and 'luck', then what's the reason that makes this group of barbers, who are shunned by craftsmen, die on a large scale one after another?
Xie Bugui said that we didn’t know the reason at the time. We just thought it was God punishing our Xie family. But afterward, the elders in the village looked back and found out that there was a key figure here, and this Everything is probably a man-made disaster!
When I heard this, I was suddenly startled. If I remember correctly, fifty-five years ago, it should have been the time when my grandfather was elected as the leader for the third time, but my grandfather did not appear at the five-year gathering. , so he was once labeled as a traitor to the Craftsman Sect.
Could it be that my grandfather was also involved in the Xie family's affairs?
