Chapter 52: The Old King Next Door
When the two of them heard Mr. Lin say 'but', they knew that Mr. Lin had something to say, so they were full of expectations. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Old Man Lin continued: "However, there is one thing that I still feel very puzzled about when I think about it to this day.
As I said earlier, after your grandfather disappeared with that military engineering team, I asked people everywhere to ask for help, but no one knew their whereabouts.
Later, after your grandfather came back, the martial arts team never showed up again, and your grandfather didn't say a word about it.
Therefore, we all speculate that the military engineering team may have been wiped out, so it is not good to ask more, for fear that your grandfather will be sad......
However, just twenty years ago, when the armory was discovered, I went to the site to see it once.
It was that time that I saw a very familiar person in the crowd, and although I hadn't seen him for decades, I recognized him at a glance.
This person's surname is Wang, and like your grandfather, he was once a member of that martial arts team!
At that time, I wondered, I originally thought that the martial arts team had been wiped out long ago, except for your grandfather.
But now, I met the members of the martial arts team back then, so it seems that the martial arts team was not completely wiped out back then.
I went up to greet him, but I didn't expect this old king's reaction to be very abnormal, and he seemed to be very afraid of me.
I was very puzzled, and I wanted to ask him why, but he quickly turned around and left......
A few days later, I secretly went to your grandfather, because the armory had been discovered, and I wanted to discuss with him what to do.
But because we both had the task of being a forester, and we had both changed our names and surnames, we never knew each other as brothers.
And every time we meet, quietly, for fear of being discovered by others, the secrets we are carrying......
At that time, after meeting your grandfather, I mentioned by the way the old Wang I met that day.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, your grandfather's reaction was quite abnormal, and he was very angry, full of murderous energy!
It seems that there seems to be some deep hatred between him and Lao Wang!
He asked me if I had seen where Lao Wang had gone, and I was afraid that he would make trouble, so I said I hadn't.
......
In fact, after I saw Lao Wang leave in a panic that day, I quietly followed him and followed him all the way to his residence.
I wanted to ask him something, but seeing that he didn't want to see me, and that he had just left the armory, I gave up.
Let me ask your grandfather again, what's the matter with Lao Wang?
Your grandfather didn't answer, but said angrily, it's cheaper for this old bastard!
At that time, I could see that there must be some kind of deep hatred between your grandfather and Lao Wang!
......
But what kind of hatred can your grandfather and Lao Wang have? The two of them were once comrades-in-arms who were born and died together!
Later, I also thought about this question, and although I didn't come up with an answer, I seemed to vaguely understand something.
If you two think about it, it was no better back then than now, and in that war years, the relationship between people was very simple.
If it's not your own people, it's your enemy!
Your grandfather and Lao Wang were originally comrades-in-arms who were born and died in a team, and it stands to reason that they are definitely their own people!
It is not difficult to hear from your grandfather's tone that he has regarded Lao Wang as an enemy!
Personally, I think this means that one of them must have been a traitor!!
I absolutely believe in your grandfather's character, so I think that old Wang must have been a traitor back then!!"
......
Hearing Old Man Lin say this, Chen Fei and Ye Qiu both nodded, both indicating that Lao Wang was indeed very suspicious.
Old Man Lin took a sip of tea and continued: "I think that this old king is not only a traitor,
Even the mysterious disappearance of the martial arts team and your grandfather back then is afraid that it can't be separated from him!
And about the secret letter you two said and the contents of the secret letter, presumably Lao Wang should also know.
And I suspect that the martial arts team back then should have been out because of this secret letter!
In this way, that secret letter is indeed very important!"
When Ye Qiu heard this, he was overjoyed, thinking that as long as he found Lao Wang, he would be able to know the content of the secret letter, and the secret letter itself was not so important.
"Then let's go find that old Wang, where does he live?" Ye Qiu asked.
When Old Man Lin heard this, he shook his head and said, "That old Wang is a few years older than me, and I have already seen him when I saw him back then
The physical condition is not very good. Now, I'm afraid it's long gone!
As for where he lived, it was easy to find.
At the time, he was living in the neighborhood next door to the city hall!"
When the two of them heard this, they couldn't help but be a little disappointed. It took a lot of effort to finally find out about the existence of such an old king.
Nine times out of ten, he has already returned to heaven!
But in any case, in short, the clues were not interrupted, and there are still traces of the secret documents......
......
At this moment, the sky was already bright, Chen Fei and Ye Qiu had not slept all night, and they were already yawning at this time, and the two of them wanted to go back to the hostel to sleep for a while.
Old Man Lin left the two of them to sleep at his house, and they had a drink together at noon.
Old Man Lin's hospitality is hard to resist, and now it is different from the past, and they now know that Old Man Lin is their long-lost grandfather.
So there's nothing to excuse.
So, one on the bed, the other on the floor, and after a while, he fell asleep......
Ye Qiu had a dream in which he dreamed that he had become a member of the martial arts team and fought bravely on the battlefield to kill the enemy!
Then, he dreamed that he was being chased by a giant dragon and had no way to escape......
The two slept until late afternoon, and then woke up one after another.
When he woke up, Old Man Lin had already prepared the wine and food, so the three of them were not drunk and did not return.
During the banquet, Ye Qiu learned a few things from Old Man Lin:
1. The kung fu used by Mr. Lin is called the Twelve Roads Tan Legs. Moreover, Ye Qiu's grandfather is also a master and is good at using a big knife.
It is said that he was taught by the captain of the martial arts team back then.
Second, Mr. Lin's wail last night was because after Mr. Lin saw the two of them, he remembered his relatives and his life.
I couldn't help but cry.
Third, the reason why Old Man Lin deliberately mistook Ye Qiu and the others for the investigators sent from above was because he didn't dare to recognize them.
I don't want to involve them in my own affairs.
I wanted to send them away, but I didn't want them to have discovered the Lin family's treasures, so I simply recognized them......
Fourth, in the other six coffins in the secret room, all of them are placed in the spirit tablets of the outer apprentices of the forester, that is, the senior brothers of Old Man Lin......
When the two of them heard this, they couldn't tell how they felt, thinking that Old Man Lin's life was really not easy.
Half a year later, Ye Qiu and Chen Fei took their grandfather here without telling their families, and let the two old men meet......
Of course, that's for another time......
The three of them talked and laughed and drank until dark, and at this time Old Man Lin was also sleepy, and it was indeed time for him to rest.
So, they said goodbye to Mr. Lin - and at the same time, it was their grandfather.
Then he staggered down the mountain......
