Chapter 105: Grandfather Grandfather Status
"It's just been a little more than a month since the start of school, and you can't ask for a few days off at every turn, right?" Chen Ming joked, "You have all investigated to this point, can't you do it for you?"
"This ...... If you have a specific request for commission, then we can help. Li Zhi hesitated, "After all, your parents may have an inheritance, it's just speculation." At the same time, what kind of inheritance did your parents leave you, are you really willing to let others know?"
".................." Chen Ming was silent, and Li Zhi's words were not unreasonable. It's just that he also suspects that Li Zhi has actually sent someone to look for it, but he can't find it, or he just pretends not to know.
At the end of the day, reminding him to find this on his own is something he cares about.
"It's weird that I'm not here for two or three days, I'll come back this weekend. Chen Ming shook his head.
"It's up to you. Li Zhi shrugged his shoulders, it was none of his business anyway. The key to the identity of Chen Ming's grandfather and maternal grandfather, he, the small intelligence captain of Wuhumen, really can't be provoked.
Especially when it comes to possible relics, and when it comes to Chen Ming's grandfather, he can't afford to provoke it.
"Speaking of which, shouldn't you explain to me a little bit the identities of my grandfather and maternal grandfather?" Chen Ming immediately spoke, from the beginning, Li Zhi was avoiding this question.
"Your grandfather is okay, he is the Chen Dao chief of the Wudang faction...... Li Zhi thought for a while, "he is the cousin of the head of the contemporary Wudang faction, and he is also one of the elders of the Wudang faction." ”
"......Forehead" Chen Ming didn't expect that his grandfather would be so big.
"Slow, then am I considered a Wudang faction?" Chen Ming pointed to himself.
"You are a disciple of the Five Tigers!" Li Zhi corrected, "Occasionally, there will be cases where the descendants of the disciples of the sect worship other sects, and there have also been similar internal responses, but your situation has nothing to do with this problem." ”
I didn't know who my parents were just now, and Wu Lin only found out three years ago, and it had nothing to do with the Wudang faction.
"There is no doubt about your identity, and the sect will not have any doubts about you because of your grandfather's problems. But I also hope that you will not live up to the trust that the sect has placed in you, and don't forget that you are a disciple of the Five Tigers, so it's fine. Li Zhi reminded that although it may not be useful, there is no better way.
Not to mention hiding it from Chen Ming, if he is willing, he will not report to the sect if he studies any inner strength in the future, but will go and sell it to Wudang, and that sect will suffer a heavy loss.
Suddenly, the sect discovered that Chen Ming's identity as a disciple of the Five Tigers Sect was very important, and it reached a situation where it could not be ignored.
"What about my grandfather?" Chen Ming nodded, no longer dwelling on this question, and continued to ask.
"Well, I guess you can ask your old village chief. Unsurprisingly, he should know who you are. Li Zhi thought for a while, "Your parents should know the identity of the old village chief, so they went to Xujia Village." ”
"Why do you say that?" Chen Ming frowned.
"The old village chief, who once served under your maternal grandfather, is a relatively close existence. Retreat ...... He retired and returned to Xujia Village and served as the village chief the following year. Your parents should have known about his existence, that's why they passed. He is the only one who can settle your parents without leaving a trace, and let them live in Xujia Village. Li Zhi replied.
"My maternal grandfather, is a government official?at least, he used to be ......" Chen Ming probably understood, "Very high?"
"Almost, I can't say the specifics, you have to ask...... In fact, from the existing information, I can probably deduce that I am afraid that your grandfather knows about your existence, and at the same time, he also has the old village chief to take care of you secretly......" Li Zhi thought for a while.
"Take care of me?" Chen Ming was a little incredulous.
"I guess your grandfather also asked him, right?" Li Zhi replied, "Considering that the economic conditions of the old village chief's family have not changed in the past ten years, it is more likely that he will take care of him spontaneously." ”
"Oh......" I don't know why, Chen Ming was actually relieved when he heard this.
"Remember, there is no love without a reason in this world, and there is no hate without a reason. The entanglements of the previous generation, those of us who are the next generation, are difficult to criticize. But blood is thicker than water, and there are some things that you can't ignore. Li Zhi reminded.
"Well, I see, thanks. Chen Ming nodded, and then said goodbye and left.
Back in the room, Chen Ming only felt that his mind was in a mess. First of all, I was a little surprised to know that Lin Manman was not the daughter of her parents, but at most it was like hearing an anecdote and didn't care too much.
Who knows that there will be a follow-up, knowing the existence of his grandfather and maternal grandfather, this is a bit ...... Overwhelmed.
He took out the phone and opened the address book, which had a phone number on it. It is not a big problem to call at this time, the old village chief should be at home at this time, but he is a little hesitant to make this call.
I thought about simply cultivating, but I found that my heart was in a mess. The words grandfather and grandfather alternated in his head, and he couldn't calm down.
He has been an orphan for fifteen years, and he is actually an orphan, but when he originally thought that he had no other relatives, he learned that he still had relatives alive.
“...... Honk...... ......"In the end, he made the call, the sound of the wiring, for the first time he felt that it was so long, and the wait was so painful.
He even tried to hang up for a moment, but before he could press it, the phone was connected.
"Hey?" the old village chief's voice came, still with three points of complaining and seven points of expectation.
"Grandpa Xu...... It's me. Chen Ming replied, "How are you doing lately?"
"If you don't come back, I'm not good. The old village chief was stunned for a moment, and then joked.
"Then I'll go back next weekend to have a look?" Chen Ming said after thinking about it.
"Well, I'm kidding you!" the old village chief seemed to pause, "How far is it to run that way, change trains or something, you can't do it for a day, plus the return trip, you will only stay for a few hours when you come back, why bother?"
"Grandpa Xu......" Chen Ming hesitated, and the following sentence was a little unspeakable.
"Baby, are you in trouble?" the old village chief seemed to hear it, and hurriedly asked.
"No, it's just that I've heard some new news from the door recently. Chen Ming hurriedly replied, and finally made up his mind, "My grandfather and maternal grandfather...... Aren't they still there?"
"Those Wuhumen people are so idle that they hurt, aren't they? What are you investigating indiscriminately?" the old village chief's tone was a little angry.
"Moreover, I also heard that Grandpa Xu used to ...... under my maternal grandfather," Chen Ming continued.
"I, Xu Zhantu, have already retired, and I have nothing to do with him Zhao Guodong. The old village chief retorted directly.
Obviously, he probably understood what Chen Ming meant. It is precisely because of this that he needs to clarify that he has taken care of Chen Ming since he was a child, and it is definitely not because of his maternal grandfather.
"I didn't doubt what Grandpa Xu meant......," Chen Ming also hurriedly explained, "It's just that the people in the door don't seem to intend to tell me who my grandfather is......"
"Since they won't tell you, don't ask. "The old village chief is a little anxious, why are the people of Wuhumen so nosy, why do they have to check the eighteen generations of other people's ancestors before they are willing?
Just thinking about it carefully, he can also understand that it is not surprising for anyone who is getting started, especially Chen Ming, who is an orphan, to understand his parents and even his family situation.
Just like government departments, if they want to enter, political censorship itself is an unavoidable problem.
"You've already said the question, right? My grandfather is called Zhao Zhantu...... The one who can make the Five Tigers avoid saying a word, called Zhao Zhantu, I know a ......" Chen Ming replied, he really couldn't calm down at the moment.
If his maternal grandfather is really that Zhao Zhantu......
"Yes, your grandfather was him, and I used to be his guard. The old village chief was silent for a while, and finally spoke, "Twenty years ago, I had already retired. ”
At that time, he was in his fifties, and he couldn't continue to serve as a security guard, so he retired and returned to the local area.
Originally, he was arranged to be the leader of the local police system, but he didn't ask for it, and returned to Xujia Village to engage in construction. The position of village chief was only accepted later.
Without this military experience, how could the illiterate group of people in Xujia Village listen to him? A few thorns were not all beaten down by him, although he was middle-aged at the time, but dealing with a group of bastards, it was not a matter of one move to bring him down?!
After a pause, he continued: "More than ten years ago, when your parents came to Xujia Village and wanted me to take them in, I was really shocked. The daughter of the old chief actually wants to marry a martial arts person...... The two did not really get married. ”
It's just that he later took his relationship and settled the two in Xujia Village, and the household registration also moved over. At that time, the rural household registration system was not very strict, so in the end, he was fooled.
This is also the first time he has gone through the back door to arrange for the two of them in so many years. Relying on the rural hukou, the two got married smoothly, and then there was Chen Ming. It was supposed to be the happiest moment......
"Did my parents really die from a mudslide?" asked Chen Ming cautiously.
"So many people dug it up together, how can it be fake...... the old village chief said with some regret, "it's just ...... I asked the hospital later, and your parents were very anxious to leave that day, and they almost came back in the rain, otherwise this kind of thing would not have happened. What the hell is that made them come back in a hurry, I don't know. ”
The possibility of being chased by someone, it may be because of some unexpected situation, he had to come back, Chen Ming immediately thought of these two possibilities. In short, if it weren't for the parents rushing back, I am afraid that there may not be a mudslide.
"Then my parents, really don't have any relics?" Chen Ming continued to ask.
“............ They haven't explained, and some clothes at home are not worth much. You are already living a tight life, how can you save anything......" The old village chief seemed to think of something when he said this, "Wait, I'll go out, I'll call you later! Your parents, maybe they really left something for you......
