"Mr. Xiaoshan, this may seem presumptuous to you, but we have a question to ask you."
After discussing with Ah Piao, Hei Luer felt that the person who tied the bell must untie the bell. What is Shanjia good at? Why did Hexia and Shanqiang spend so much time on Shanda? What did they want to get? These questions The answer lies with Shanda.
After they came back, they kept looking at Shanda up and down without saying a word, just staring at him. They couldn't see anything special about this kid that made people care so much.
They muttered in their hearts, trying to figure out the problem that was troubling them, but they did not consider Shanda's thoughts.
It's been almost a cup of tea since Hei Lu'er and Ah Piao came back. Just sitting like this, Shanda felt very uneasy at being stared at by them. He was already very uneasy, but now he felt even more uneasy. He silently recalled his performance just now, his attitude and every word he said. No matter how he analyzed it, he couldn't figure out whether he said the wrong thing or whether his attitude made these two people unhappy. Let them watch you like a hawk watching its prey.
Hearing Hei Lu'er's words suddenly, Shanda was slightly relieved. It seemed that it was not his problem and he did not offend the two giant Buddhas. It was okay, okay.
He calmed down his mood, cleared his throat, and said, "Please ask, if I know, I will definitely tell you."
"I don't know if Mr. Xiaoshan has such a memory. Has your brother ever mentioned to you what the Shan family did before the accident, what kind of industry the ancestors had, etc. Maybe he didn't mention this deliberately. Maybe It's okay to just mention it in one sentence and talk about it casually." Hei Lu'er looked at Shanda and asked, "Do you still have any impressions about this?"
"It seems..." Shanda thought for a moment and nodded slightly, "It seems to have happened a few times, but let me think about it carefully. It seems that when I was a child, my brother would always say this. When I grew up, After that, it seemed like there was no more.”
"It doesn't matter, think about it slowly, we have plenty of time."
"Thank you, adults."
Taking the tea cup that had been refilled with hot water, Shanda lowered his head and began to rummage through the things that Hei Luer mentioned in his only remaining memory, which was not too much. He turned over almost half a stick of incense. After a while, he slowly raised his head and nodded towards Hei Luer and A Piao.
"Did you remember it?"
"Yes, now that I think about it, this is indeed the case."
"Can you tell us about it?"
"Of course." Shanda nodded, "When I was young, my brother once told me that several generations of the Shan family...well, about five or six generations have been craftsmen, starting from my great-grandfather who actually worked in the The royal family, serving the Wanyan family. That village was originally awarded to my great-grandfather by the royal family, specifically for his old age. Later, when the elders of my family got older and no longer wanted to work hard, they would return to that village. The younger generation who have not grown up and cannot serve the royal family will also live in that village until their abilities can be recognized by the royal family and they can take over the positions of their ancestors and fathers, then they can move to Yiqing Mansion."
"So that's it, this is your ancestral home, right?"
"You can say that." Shanda nodded, "However, there has also been a situation where the family has a shortage of craftsmen who can serve the royal family. The older generation has reached the age of retirement, and the younger generation or grandchildren have not yet If I don't have the ability to take over, I can only live in that village temporarily. My brother said that like my father...ahem!" It suddenly occurred to him that the person who thought he was his father was not actually his father, and the person who thought he was his uncle was actually his. My father couldn't help but sigh at this embarrassing fact, and changed his words in a somewhat embarrassed manner, "My uncle and father did not inherit my grandfather's craftsmanship, nor did they have the talent in this area, so they also serve the royal family. But he is not a highly valued craftsman like my grandfather. They originally placed their hopes on our generation, but unfortunately, before we grew up, such a disaster happened, which they did not expect."
"So, what exactly is your craft?"
"I heard from my brother that it should be related to firearms. But I don't know exactly what it is about. My brother didn't elaborate, and I didn't ask in detail."
"One more question, are you sure you haven't left any information about this in your family..."
"Objects or books?" Shanda shook his head slightly, "My brother said that on that night, everything had been reduced to ashes, there was nothing left."
Hei Lu'er and A Piao looked at each other. They both felt that it was impossible to leave nothing behind. It was probably Hexia and his men who found that they couldn't find what they wanted in the house, so they burned everything. Moreover, they should have some evidence to prove that Shanda has what they want, so they will treat him so carefully.
"Hmm..." Shanda touched his chin, hesitating whether he should express his long-standing question, "There is something, I always feel that something is not right."
"what's up?"
"It's just...my brother always hesitates every time he mentions his family's craftsmanship, and..."
"And what?"
"Judging from his attitude, he always gave me the feeling that I should know something, or that there should be something about this in me."
"How could you have such an idea?"
"I don't know either, but it's weird to have this feeling, isn't it?" Shanda sighed softly, "However, this is probably my misunderstanding. My brother doesn't think so. After all, I When I was a child, I was in such a state. I ignored no one, didn't see anyone, and couldn't even speak. How could I possibly know these things? As for whether there will be anything related to the craftsmanship of my elders left in me, I don't think so. possible."
"Why isn't it possible?"
"Sir, aren't you kidding me? Isn't it obvious? The adults in the family are not stupid, how could they put such important things on a little baby? Besides, what do I have and don't have on me? My brother should know very well, I have grown up next to him, so there is no need to ask me again, right?"
"That makes sense, but..." Ah Piao raised her eyebrows slightly, "Not necessarily."
"You..." Shanda blinked, "What do you mean? Is it possible that there really is some secret in me?"
"Then you have to try it before you know." A Piao waved his hand towards Wu Shu Dan and whispered in his ear, "Have someone prepare hot water. The hotter the better."
"good!"
Wu Shudan nodded, responded and went out. After about a cup of tea, he led a few guards and came in carrying a large bucket of steaming water. The commander put the bucket down, turned to look at Ah Piao, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"The water is here, what should we do?"
Ah Piao raised her chin towards Shanda and said simply, "Take off your clothes!"
