When she said this, the withered bones lying on her shoulders disappeared. I don’t know if it’s my imagination or Wu Sheng also saw it. But that's not the point, because the point is, does this old lady know my grandfather? Or do you know that we are here to punish the enemy, so you deliberately get close to us?
I think the latter is more likely, because if she really knew my grandfather, she would have known that I was his descendant just by looking at my face. If that was the case, why would she attack me? That only proves that she doesn't know my grandfather at all, and what she says now is nothing more than trying to get close.
She probably knew that the three of us were here and it would be difficult for her to deal with her alone, so she just played the emotional card and hoped that we would let her go.
But why didn't you think of letting us go?
When I think about how I was almost killed by Zhang Hazi's flying knife, I feel very angry. Naturally, I didn't give any response to her question.
Wu Sheng, on the other hand, continued to explain that his grandfather had passed away five years ago.
As soon as Wu Sheng said these words, I didn't know if it was an illusion, but I saw that the wrinkled skin on the old lady's face seemed to twitch unconsciously. Not only that, I also saw that her hands holding up her body seemed to be struggling slightly, and they were trembling slightly.
After Wu Sheng's words came out, the bedroom suddenly became quiet. Only the sound of Ultraman fighting the little monsters could be heard from the living room. It should be the seven or eight-year-old child watching Ultraman.
This sudden silence made me not know how to attack the old lady for a moment, even though this guy wanted to kill me before.
It wasn't until the sound of Ultraman's energy alarm coming from the living room and the sound of Wu Sheng turning around and closing the bedroom door that the current awkward silence was broken.
I came back from the silence and asked the old lady, "I have no enmity with you, why do you want to kill me?"
I said it aggressively, as if if your answer is not what I want, I will let Zhang Hazi destroy you in minutes.
Before the old lady spoke, Wu Sheng said from the side that the senior is not that kind of person. Besides, how could she use her craftsmanship on you when we are thousands of miles apart?
This issue is also something that Zhang Hazi and I are unclear about. Otherwise, we would have taken action long ago, but we are just worried about whether there is an almost impossible misunderstanding.
I can't answer Wu Sheng's question. Logically speaking, the old lady should make a fuss about this and insist that she didn't take action against us. As for who was behind the scenes, she didn't know anyway.
But what Zhang Hazi and I didn't expect was that the old lady threw herself into a trap and said that there was really nothing that could be done to ordinary people, but if it was him, it was still possible.
As soon as she said this, Zhang Hazi pulled out the bamboo knife from behind without saying a word - in order to ensure that Wu Tinghan could be rescued smoothly, he had to nip all dangers in the cradle.
Seeing this, Wu Sheng hurriedly took a step forward, blocked Zhang Hazi with half his body, and then said to us, don't you want to know how she attacked you?
I put my hand on his shoulder and said, she has already admitted it, do you think it is meaningful to talk about it now? Don't forget, the time you're wasting now was all paid for by your cousin's life!
I secretly exerted force on my hands so that when I really made a move, I could temporarily restrain him so that Zhang Hazi could concentrate on dealing with the old lady. If it were before, Zhang Hazi would definitely not need me. We need a lot of help, but now Zhang Hazi has no craftsmanship. He has to deal with a single craftsman who has been handed down from generation to generation. He and I are not allowed to pretend to win with less and win more. As long as we can kill that craftsman, it is victory.
I originally thought that Wu Sheng would be moved by me, but I didn't expect that Zhang Hazi was moved by his previous words.
I only heard Zhang Hazi talk about it, and I was also curious about how well she could do it. Just listening to it wouldn't waste a lot of time.
Hearing this, I turned my head and looked at Zhang Hazi with wide eyes, a little confused on my face. I didn't expect that in such an urgent situation, he would have the leisure to listen to the old lady's nonsense to delay time.
However, Zhang Hazi has always considered issues more thoughtfully than me. Since he has decided so, I have nothing to say, so I can only retract my hand and stand aside, waiting for the old lady's explanation.
The old lady first smiled and nodded to Wu Sheng, then looked at me and said, how did your grandfather die? With his ability, he would have no problem living for a few more decades.
I haven't let go of my guard against the old lady yet, so I still keep silent.
Wu Sheng once again acted as a microphone and said that judging from the book he wrote, Senior Luo made himself into a living corpse.
Refining a living corpse?
I heard the old lady repeat in a sharp voice, and even the dead bones that had disappeared before reappeared, lying on her shoulders.
I knew Zhang Hazi couldn't see it, so I glanced at Wu Sheng and found that he nodded towards me, which probably meant that he had also seen it.
In other words, this is not my imagination. But what I don’t understand is why is there a withered skeleton next to this craftsman? Is it similar to the penis chicken raised by the paper doll's mother-in-law? Is this something she keeps around her?
I thought for a while and didn't understand, then I found that the old lady and the withered bones had been looking at me up and down. After a while, the withered bones disappeared again, and only the old lady was left and said to me, no wonder you obviously have a scholarly spirit. Close to me, Su Wan will still say that you are neither a human nor a ghost, that’s why.
Su Wan must be the seven or eight-year-old little girl. Unexpectedly, her name is quite nice. Well, she is just a bit grumpy. As for why I have the enthusiasm for book business, apart from the fact that I went to the library to read books every day when I was in school, it probably stems more from the book I wrote before.
I didn't expect that Zhang Hazi's unintentional words would actually arouse the scholarly energy in me.
The old lady continued, but what I didn't expect was that your grandfather actually did it, although the price was a bit high.
Is that a bit pricey? In my opinion, it's not worth it at all, it's a big loss!
The old lady didn't pay attention to my complaints, but sighed and said, little baby, if I tell you that I don't want to do anything to you, would you believe it?
I snorted coldly and said, if I tell you what I say, I believe it, do you believe it?
The old lady smiled and shook her head, saying that she was exactly the same as your grandfather. She would not suffer anything, even in terms of words.
I thought to myself, fart, I am quite polite to ordinary people, but only for those who want to kill me, I will use all my firepower. If I can't defeat you, I will use my words to escape you!
Seeing that I didn't respond, the old lady continued to say that in this world, it was impossible for anyone to perform craftsmanship on a stranger thousands of miles away. If this situation existed, do you think the world would be in chaos?
I didn't react at first, until Zhang Hazi whispered to me, beheading.
After hearing these four words, I realized that if this kind of situation and craftsmanship really existed, then the world would indeed have been in chaos long ago.
Just imagine, the white-haired old man across the ocean was in a meeting, and a craftsman's skill was used to behead him directly. I asked you if the stab was irritating? Since he can be beheaded, then the heads of other countries may also be beheaded, and then the world will already be in chaos.
But in this case, wouldn’t you yourself be inconsistent?
The old lady shook her head and said, as I said, there is no such thing as performing magic on strangers thousands of miles away, but what if it is an acquaintance, someone who has been marked long ago? Of course, you can use craftsmanship.
But this is also inconsistent. Zhang Hazi and I have never met you. How could you use Qianqianknot on me from thousands of miles away and almost kill me? Just because you know my grandfather, you can't use your craftsmanship on me thousands of miles away, right?
She shook her head and said, before meeting you, I didn't know that you were the grandson of Luo Chaoting. The reason why I take action against you, or I can use craftsmanship on you, is all because of your luck, which smells like a craftsman.
The taste of carpenter? Where did this begin?
I just accepted some of the luck of the people in Xiejia Village, so I became a craftsman?
