Chapter 619: Suspicion
"How about the investigation?!!
On the outskirts of Huacheng, a man in a white robe and gray hair stood with his hands in his hands, his face was stern, even though he had such a fairy temperament, it was still difficult to hide. 【Book by】
And one meter away from him, Chen Mo, who seemed to be about twenty years old and wearing a white robe, looked serious, and respectfully saluted the gray-haired old Taoist before he said leisurely, "In that underground world, we didn't find what we needed. ”
"In that case, if you continue to search, you must find it. ”
The gray-haired old man was slightly disappointed.
After planning for so long, I didn't expect that there was still no result.
It is recorded in the ancient scrolls that there are treasures that are rare in the underground world under this land, is it really just a legend?!!
The gray-haired old Taoist has arrived here and has already begun to act, so he will not give up lightly.
The young white-clothed Chen Mo immediately nodded respectfully, and then disappeared out of thin air.
Seeing that Chen Mo had left, the gray-haired old man smoothed his gray-haired beard with his hand, his eyes were full of expectation, "You are my grandson, I hope you don't let me down!! In the future, looking at the entire sect, who would dare to despise our grandfather and grandson!!"
In the end, the gray-haired old Dao's eyes changed from full of expectations to some impatience.
The gray-haired old road did not stay in place for too long, and about a minute after Chen Mo left, he also followed the route of the suburbs and returned to Huacheng.
Although Huacheng is lively, few people come here in the suburbs, so the posture of Chen Mo and the white-clothed old man just now was not taken into anyone's eyes at all.
……
Chen Mo was in tatters at this moment, and his face was even a little dirty, and he looked like a down-and-out beggar. He stood at the entrance of the town with this honor. His eyes were cast on the village at the entrance of the town, and he muttered in his heart:
"This is the closest town to the underworld, and the rest of the place is simply deserted, so maybe you can get some clues here. ”
After deciding. Chen Mo walked directly into the town in the shape of a beggar.
Although the town is located in a remote area and the conditions are not particularly good, there are never beggars.
When Chen Mo walked into the town's bazaar like a beggar, it immediately attracted everyone's attention, and even some of the town's people couldn't help but mumble in a whisper.
"Oh my God!!How dirty this guy looks, he doesn't look like he's from our town at all!!"
"Look at this dress, it must be a beggar, blame the pitiful!!"
"He who is so young, with arms and legs, has become a beggar. It's a shame. ”
……
Although the people in the town felt that the sudden arrival of the beggar's silence was very unexpected, they were kind and had no intention of driving Chen Mo out, although many of them did not like dirty beggars like Chen Mo very much.
Chen Mo didn't take the initiative to talk to anyone, he just silently felt the incomprehensible gaze that everyone threw at him. Then keep your head down.
Finally, ten minutes after Chen Mo appeared in the market in this way, some of the people in the small town began to lose their breath, and some boldly began to take steps towards Chen Mo, hoping to see if there was anything they could do to help him.
"Young man, where are you from?!!"
An old grandmother who was about seventy years old was the first to take the initiative to ask Chen Mo.
Seeing that someone had already begun to take the initiative to ask himself, Chen Mo stopped his steps. The whole face looked very haggard and weather-beaten, and he looked at the grandmother uncomfortably, and said, "My family lives far away from here. Originally, I wanted to come to my relatives, but who knew that my relatives were long gone, and my entanglement had already run out, so it became what it is now!!"
Listening to Chen Mo's voice, you will unconsciously feel that Chen Mo is very pitiful, at such a young age. He was left out.
The old grandmother listened to Chen Mo's words, and felt uncomfortable for a while, "Then what are your plans now?!!
Now that the entanglement has been spent, how should I return to my hometown next?!! grandmother was worried about Chen Mo.
"Young man, you are so young, can't you work to earn some wages and then hurry home?
Some gradually began to watch. Middle-aged women, who were about thirty or forty years old, also started to talk about it.
Middle-aged women in their thirties and forties always felt that Chen Mo looked young, with a leg on his right arm, no matter how bad he was, he would not be so embarrassed because he deserved to be so bad.
Chen Mo sighed helplessly, "I thought so at first, but this radius of a hundred miles is uninhabited at all, and I can't do it if I want to work to earn some wages!!"
The old grandmother could see Chen Mo's pitiful appearance, and immediately said, "I'll entangle you, you hurry home!!"
The old grandmother handed Chen Mo the steamed bun she had just bought and some idle silver.
I hope that Chen Mo can take these things and return to his home safely.
How could Chen Mo accept grandma's things, and hurriedly shirked and said: "No, no!!, no merit, how can I accept these things from grandma!"
Seeing that Chen Mo refused to accept her things at all, the old grandmother immediately became a little anxious, "How can you go back without these things?!! accept them!!"
"In that case, grandma, how do you look at this?!! you can take me in and let me help you do any hard work, you are giving me these when I want to leave, can you see it?!!"
The old grandmother did not hesitate at all, but immediately nodded and said in a continuous voice: "Okay, good!! Since you have to use your labor to pay for these broken silvers, then Grandma and I will not force you." ”
If Chen Mo had accepted his gift directly, he wouldn't have felt anything wrong. However, now after Chen Mo directly refused, he proposed that he was willing to exchange his labor for these broken silver, which immediately moved the old grandmother's new life.
He even secretly praised Chen Mo in his heart, and said: "I didn't expect this kid to be so sensible, I refused to accept the broken silver I gave him directly, and even took the initiative to ask for labor in exchange, he is really a good boy!!"
The people of the small town who are watching around are not all idle and bored. So after seeing that the old grandmother agreed to Chen Mo's request, they dispersed one after another, each busy with their own going, as if what had just happened had never happened.
In the same place, the old grandmother and Chen Mo did not leave immediately. The old grandmother looked at Chen Mo with a smile on her face and asked, "How old are you, child, and what is your name?"
"Back to grandma, the junior is called Chen Mo, and she is just twenty this year. ”
Seeing the old grandmother smiling, Chen Mo naturally replied with a smile.
……
Following the old grandmother back to his home, Chen Mo washed the dirt on his face that he had deliberately touched, and cleaned up his dirty-looking beggar shape again.
The grandmother gave Chen Mo a piece of her wife's clothes, although it was slightly out of place, and it didn't match his age. But it's much better than a tattered and dirty beggar.
The old grandmother and her wife sat in the yard drinking tea, waiting for Chen Mo to finish freshening up.
The old man looked much older than the old grandmother, his back had become a camel, and the whole person had a kind of weather. "That young man doesn't look like one of our towns!!Old woman, where did you pick it up?!!"
The old woman replied with a smile, "This boy is a poor child, and he has no money left here, so I took him in to do some work at home." ”
When there is one more person in the family, it feels much more lively, and the grandmother is naturally very happy.
The grandmother and grandfather have no children under their knees, and the family is inevitably deserted. And there is no way to do a lot of rough work, so suddenly a young man can come to the house. The grandmother naturally treats the other party as her own son.
When the grandmother and the grandfather were chatting about Chen Mo in the courtyard, Chen Mo had already finished washing, changed into the grandfather's clothes, and stepped into the courtyard.
"Grandma, grandpa, what do you think?!!"
Chen Mo stood in front of the old man and grandmother energetically, looking indeed full of vitality, completely similar to the previous beggar style. If two people are judged.
Such a change has exceeded the old grandmother's expectations, nodded again and again, and exclaimed: "Not bad!! More energetic than when the old man was young!!"
The old man listened to the old grandmother talk about Chen Mo, and he had already expressed his approval. Now that I see Chen Mo's spirit, I think it's good.
"Grandma, grandpa, if you have any orders, just say it directly, I will definitely do it!!"
"There's nothing for you to do for the time being, you must be hungry!!There are still some cold steamed buns in the house, if you don't mind, go eat them!!"
The old grandmother smiled, and she felt more and more that Chen Mo was good.
"Of course I don't mind!!It's already great to have steamed buns to eat, where can I dislike it!!"
Chen Mo saw that the old grandmother and the old grandfather had nothing to tell him to do, so he followed the old grandmother's words and walked towards the steamed buns in the house.
After Chen Mo entered the house, the old grandmother looked at the old grandfather and said, "This child is good?!! although he is in trouble, he is very polite." ”
The old man nodded lightly, "It looks pretty good now!!, but I don't think this kid looks like an ordinary person between his eyebrows, maybe he may have a day when he gets ahead." ”
The old man lived to this age, although it can't be said that he has read countless people, but he has seen a lot of people in the town. At the beginning, Chen Mo looked dirty and looked unbearable, but he didn't pay too much attention. But now that he washed the dirt off his body, he showed his radiance in the first place.
For a moment, the old man felt that such a radiant kid could end up here?!!
The old man didn't know if he thought too highly of Chen Mo, so he felt that this son would definitely achieve extraordinary achievements in the future. This kind of feeling, even Mu Qingfeng, the pride of the sky in the town now, has never given himself such a feeling at all.
Could it be that the old woman picked up a treasure by such a coincidence?!!
……
After Chen Mo entered the room, he picked up the steamed bread that had been cooled on the table, and then swept the steamed bread on the cooled steamed bread with his other hand, and the steamed bread that had just cooled had already become steaming.
I hope I'm here this way and can get some clues here!!
The reason why Chen Mo chose to enter the town in this way was that the main purpose was to investigate the affairs of the underground world.
……
The grandmother and grandfather soon adopted Chen Mo as their adopted son, so that they were no longer childless.
The news quickly spread throughout the town, and everyone began to talk about it.
"I heard that the Wang family actually accepted a foreign beggar as a righteous son, I don't know if it's true!!"
"Of course it's true. When we first came to town, we had seen it in the market!! ”
"The two old men of the Wang family have no children under their knees, and now they are old enough to accept a son and do their filial piety. It's not bad!!"
……
This matter actually spread in the town, so it would naturally be passed into Mu Qingfeng's ears.
"I heard that Grandpa Wang and Grandma Wang recently adopted a righteous son who fell into distress here, you should check this matter!!"
A complete stranger, suddenly came to the town, no matter what, Mu Qingfeng must investigate well, and can't let people with no identity live in the town in the future.
……
After a period of time guarding the giant pit day and night, although there was no result, but fortunately, the people of the town now have no one who wants to visit, so the foolish days of guarding every day during the day are finally over.
"Silly bastard, have you heard about the adoption of a son by the Wang family?!!
As soon as he returned home, Grandpa Silly couldn't wait to ask Silly.
The fool sat in his chair. These days, no matter how tired and hard you are during the day, you have to stick to the giant pit, and your body naturally begins to feel tired.
The fool was slightly surprised and shook his head, "I've been guarding the giant pit all this time, and I rarely have time to hear about these things. I really don't know. But who are they adopting, Grandpa Wang? There don't seem to be orphans in the town?!!
This news was still a little surprising to the fool, and the fool turned his head and never thought about when there would be an orphan in the town.
"That Yizi is not from the town at all, I heard that he was taken in by the Wang family after he fell into trouble a few days ago. ”
"I see!!Grandpa Wang, they have always had no children under their knees, and it is actually not bad to be able to adopt a son, at least they can rely on their old age in the future!!"
Whether they are the aborigines of the town or not is not the most important thing at all, the living conditions of the grandmother and the grandfather. Wouldn't it be nice to have a young man who is willing to take care of them and support them nowadays?!!
"That's true, this matter is a happy event!!I'm just thinking about waiting for you to come back, let's go to their house to congratulate!!Just look at the righteous son of your grandmother's family like this!!"
It turned out that Grandpa Silly had already made plans.
The fool immediately got up from his chair, and the tiredness of his body seemed to dissipate in an instant. "Okay!!, shall we go now?!!"
Grandpa Silly brought some gifts that he had prepared a long time ago, and then he and Fool left the house and walked towards the old grandmother and old grandfather's house.
The friendship between the two families is also good on weekdays, and at this time, the stupid grandfather naturally has to go to congratulate.
……
"Isn't this a stupid bastard?!! I haven't seen you in a few days, and I've grown a lot taller!!"
The grandmother of the Wang family even came to congratulate her when she saw Silly Egg and Silly Grandpa so late. Happy. Especially when I saw the stupid guy, I was even more happy.
"Grandma Wang has been doing lately, and the mayor's mansion has been a little busy recently, so it's rare to have a chance to visit the two of you!!"
Because the relationship between the two is not bad, when the fool entered the mayor's mansion, he didn't come to the grandmother's house to eat.
……
Extraordinary!!
These two words are the impression that appeared directly in the fool's heart without thinking when he saw Chen Mo for the first time.
Judging from Chen Mo's behavior, as well as the temperament that is difficult to hide even if he is wrapped in coarse linen clothes.
How can I say it, when the fool saw Chen Mo, he suddenly felt that his temperament seemed to have been seen in gentleness and gentleness twice.
When he saw Chen Mo, the fool was like the first time the old man saw Chen Mo, and he actually felt that he had a feeling of being shining after all, and that momentum would not lose to Mayor Mu Qingfeng at all.
"I heard that the fool is doing things with the mayor, and he may need to rely on it in the future. ”
Chen Mo always had a smile on his face, but he was like a fool who would have a feeling that the other party was extraordinary when he saw him. And when Chen Mo saw the fool. I keenly felt a familiar breath.
Although the breath has gradually faded, if it weren't for his special sensitivity to this breath, it would be impossible to feel it lightly.
This aura comes from the underworld, and the breath of the woman who escaped.
It was because of the faint breath that I felt when I met for the first time. Chen Mo looked at the fool carefully.
In Chen Mo's eyes, the fool is very ordinary, and he doesn't even have talent at all. But what does it mean that there is such an aura on his body?!!
Chen Mo said secretly in his heart: "It seems that this fool must have entered the underground world before, and he also met the woman who escaped!! It seems that my decision to enter this town was correct, and it didn't take long for me to start reaping the rewards." ”
"I'm just a normal worker. ”
The first time the two met, although they felt different from each other, they both had a feeling of admiration for each other.
……
Bidding farewell to the home of the grandmother and grandfather, the grandfather and grandson walked towards their home in the moonlight.
On the road, the stupid man frowned slightly, thinking about seeing Chen Mo in the sky.
Grandpa the stupid guy saw the stupid guy who seemed to be chattering on weekdays. Miraculously, he stopped talking and was silent alone, so he asked curiously, "Is there anything ?!!?"
Hearing his grandfather's voice, the stupid man slightly hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled. "Grandpa, do you think that Chen Mo, the righteous son of Grandma Wang's family, looks a little extraordinary?!!
"It seems that you have been learning a lot by the side of Mayor Kogi these days, and you have been able to learn to observe!!"
Grandpa Fool didn't expect Fool's observation, and then he continued: "I also feel your feelings. Although this Chen Mo was dressed in coarse linen clothes. But it's hard to hide the dazzling brilliance on him, and it even makes people think that he is more capable than our Mayor Kogi. ”
For a moment, Grandpa Silly thought it was incredible. When I met for the first time, I would think so inexplicably.
"Will his arrival have another purpose?!!
It is precisely because of Chen Mo's extraordinary temperament that the fool made the fool feel that Chen Mo's arrival had ulterior motives.
It's been an eventful time lately, and more and more unimaginable things have been happening around the town. The fool had to be suspicious.
Especially when he saw Xiao Mo in the underground world of the burned area, the fool felt that this senior sister had many things that he had never seen at all, which made people unimaginable. and the person who entered the underground world and destroyed Xiaomo's homeland, which made the fool even more worried.
Now at this time, a person who has been displaced here suddenly arrives in the town. And although it is coarse and linen, it is extraordinary, which makes the fool have to be on guard.
……
In the early morning of the second day, as soon as the fool entered the mayor's mansion, he was directly summoned to the council hall by the people sent by Mu Qingfeng.
Calling himself at such an early age, I'm afraid there is something to ask me.
Fools don't dare to slack off.
In the entire conference hall, only Mu Qingfeng sat alone on the high seat, and when he saw the fool entering the conference hall, Mu Qingfeng said, "Just sit down!!"
The fool couldn't guess why Mu Qingfeng summoned himself to the council hall so early, and now it was only himself and him in the entire council hall. It was precisely because of this that the fool seemed a little cautious and sat down gently.
"You should have gone to see the righteous son of Grandma Wang's house last night, didn't you? How do you feel about it?!!
Regarding Mu Qingfeng's opening to ask about himself, the fool first felt that he had not thought of it. But Mu Qingfeng was able to know that he had gone to his grandmother's house last night, and the stupid egg was not so surprised.
Presumably, in the entire town, as long as it is something that Mu Qingfeng cares about, I am afraid there will be nothing he doesn't know. So now it is not surprising that Mu Qingfeng will know that he has visited Grandma Wang's house last night.
"I don't know if Brother Qingfeng wants to hear the truth, or if he is polite?!!"
In private, Silly always called Mu Qingfeng Brother Qingfeng, not the mayor.
The fool didn't want to hide his feelings from Mu Qingfeng. But it's not good to speak straightforwardly.
"Of course it's true!!"
"I think this man is extraordinary, and although he is covered in coarse linen, it is difficult to hide the light on his body. And I personally think that there is a special temperament in him. Even Brother Qingfeng can't compare to you. ”
In this way, the fool didn't know if Mu Qingfeng would be angry, but the fool only followed Mu Qingfeng's request and told the truth.
"Even you can feel it, how could I not be aware of it. Silly, you think it's strange that this person has suddenly come to town?!!"
Mu Qingfeng didn't think there was anything wrong with the fool's truth, and even agreed with the fool's cognition.
Because I was just curious about what the righteous son who was taken in by Grandma Wang was sacred, I never thought that it was just an accidental side. It made Mu Qingfeng feel almost like a fool.
"I don't dare to judge. ”
The fool himself never thought that Mu Qingfeng had already seen Chen Mo, and he had the same feelings as himself.
"I hope you will pay close attention to this matter, there are so many strange things that the town has suffered in recent times, and it can no longer withstand any hardships. ”
Mu Qingfeng handed over the weight of this matter to the fool. Because the relationship between the fool and Grandma Wang's family is not bad, it will not make people suspicious when he walks around often, so Mu Qingfeng will do this.
"Understood!!!I'll be sure to keep an eye on it. ”
"You can cooperate with Lao Li and them in this matter, and it is necessary to investigate this matter clearly. Mu Qingfeng instructed directly.
……
When the fool left the council chamber, the whole person breathed a sigh of relief. I didn't expect that even Mu Qingfeng felt that Chen Mo's arrival was a little strange, could it be that this Chen Mo really had another purpose?!!
The fool thinks that he must investigate this matter clearly, otherwise nothing will happen that harms the interests of the people of the town. It is also very likely that Grandma Wang's feelings will be wasted.
"I heard that the mayor just called you to the council chamber alone, did you have any important things to explain?!!
They were not far away from the council hall just now, and when they learned that the fool had just come to the mayor's mansion, they were called to the council hall by Mu Qingfeng alone, and they came to the place not far from the council hall during the day, waiting for the fool's return.
As a result, there was still a distance away, and I saw the fool with a heart. Slowly stepping over, Bai Tian really couldn't help but wait in place for the stupid egg's turtle speed, so he deliberately stepped forward to ask the fool and them. The others also followed directly because of Bai Tian's behavior.
The sudden appearance of everyone, the fool did not expect it at all.
The fool who came back to his senses smiled: "There is indeed something to explain." But not to me, but to all of us!!"
Since Mu Qingfeng has allowed to sue them for nothing, then the fool has nothing to hide.
"We've just finished guarding the crater, and now we have something to tell us, and it seems that the mayor is ready to exhaust us to death. Wood couldn't help but complain twice, and now he still feels very tired.
"This is called trust!!Because the mayor of the town trusts us, that's why he will hand things over and over again to us!!" Bai Tian glanced at the wood with disdain.
"What is the mayor going to tell us all to do?!!
Lao Li asked the fool bluntly, what Mu Qingfeng explained.
As long as everyone is in the mayor's mansion for a day, then the things that Mu Qingfeng explained must be done, regardless of whether he is particularly tired or not.
It seemed a little inappropriate to talk to everyone about this in the courtyard, so the fool returned to the small meeting hall for himself and the others with everyone.
"Do you know that Grandma Wang's family has a new son?!!
Although this incident is now rumored throughout the town, because everyone has been guarding the giant pit during the day these days, it is rare to have the opportunity to learn about the news of the town. If it weren't for my grandfather suing me last night, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have heard of it. I'm still like this, that's why the fool will ask everyone.
Bai Tian shook his head, "I haven't heard of !!"
"I haven't heard of it either!!! Wood shook his head too, if it weren't for the stupid bastard suddenly asking everyone. Wood hadn't heard of it at all.
"I have heard about this matter, I heard that a beggar who had been displaced here came to the town a few days ago, and Grandma Wang was very kind-hearted, so she took him in. In the end, let him be his own righteous son. But this matter has something to do with what the mayor told us?!!"
Lao Li is a little puzzled, what does this Grandma Wang's family have to do with taking in the righteous son?!!
"yes!!, I've heard a little bit of it. Is there something suspicious about this sudden beggar?!!"
I also overheard my family talk about the sea this morning, but I didn't dig into it. Who knew that when I just came to the mayor's mansion today, I heard the fool mention it.
"The mayor suspects that this person came to the town for another purpose, so he wants us to investigate secretly!!"
"What is the purpose of a beggar's coming to the town?!! our town is not rich at all, if you want money, you should go to the flower city?!!"
Bai Tian didn't understand, was he just a beggar? As for paying so much attention to it, he also let himself and the others all go to secretly investigate this matter?!!
"That's why the mayor did that. I'm afraid it's because of this beggar who has fallen here, there is something slightly different!!" The sea understands that Mu Qingfeng can't be the kind of person who has nothing to do and let everyone investigate.
"I'll not hide it from everyone, I have already visited Grandma Wang's house last night! I'm sure if you see him, you won't think he's a beggar. Although he was wearing coarse linen clothes, his temperament could not be concealed at all. In addition, although the town is not rich, all kinds of unimaginable things that are happening these days must be alert. ”
Fools will solve everyone's puzzles one by one.
If it were him, before he had never met Chen Mo, he would probably have the same feeling as everyone else. But I've seen it myself. That feeling will never happen again.
"Is it really that exaggerated?!!
Hearing the fool talk about it so seriously, and Mu Qingfeng also handed over the investigation to everyone, Mu Tou began to believe it a little.
"So don't imagine how simple this matter is, I'm afraid it's even more difficult than we imagined!!"
For the investigation of Chen Mo, the fool has no bottom in his heart.
……
Since Mu Qingfeng decided to investigate Chen Mo, and the fool also said that Chen Mo was a special legend. So Bai Tian and the others decided that they had to meet this newcomer to the town with their own eyes.
Since you want to investigate the other party, you can't even know what the other party is like?!!
The fools immediately decided to set off for Grandma Wang's house immediately, hoping to meet Chen Mo.
"Idiot, why are you here?!!
Grandma Wang and the old man were sitting in the courtyard at home drinking tea, but they didn't expect that the stupid ones would come with big bags of things.
Grandma Wang beckoned the fool and sat down to drink tea.
"That's right. We are actually here on behalf of the mayor's mansion, because there is suddenly an extra person in your family, and he is also your adopted son, so we need to register. ”
The fool is the most familiar with Grandma Wang's house, so naturally the opening remarks can only be said by the fool.
Grandma Wang immediately understood and nodded, "Chen Mo, he went to the field to plant vegetables, and he will come back in a while, or you wait for him to ?!!"
After Chen Mo arrived, he went to the fields on time every day to farm, and all the heavy work at home was handed over to Chen Mo, and Grandma Wang was even more satisfied with Chen Mo.
even felt that when he was old, it was really his blessing to be able to meet Chen Mo.
"In that case, we might as well go to the field to find him!!There are still many things waiting for us to go back to the mayor's mansion!!"
Bai Tian replied immediately.
Who knows when this Chen Mo will come back, could it be that he has never come back, and everyone has been waiting for him here?!!
"Okay, okay, stupid, you know where Grandma Wang's field is, I won't accompany you!!"
"Okay!!Grandma Wang, you can rest at home!!"
Of course, it is impossible for the fool to let Grandma Wang and them accompany them to the field to find Chen Mo, they are old and in poor health, so they can't go to the field if they can.
After saying goodbye to Grandma Wang and Grandpa, Silly led everyone to Grandma Wang's field to find Chen Mo.
"It seems that this Chen Mo is not bad!!I haven't been here for a few days, and I have helped Grandma Wang's family do farm work!!"
The wood praised Chen Mo a little, so it seemed that Chen Mo was not as bad as he imagined.
"That's just a table, you haven't seen it yet, how do you know it's good!!"
Bai Tian didn't think so, and resolutely felt that even Mu Qingfeng had to take the initiative to investigate, and it would definitely not be so simple.
