Chapter 4 Old Accounts

There are not many elderly people in urban villages, and most of them are rented to migrant workers.

It was getting dark, Zhou Chen found Han Lao Liu's residence, and before the gate of the courtyard was opened, he could smell the smell of decay coming from inside.

There is no doubt that the yard must be full of garbage, after all, he picks up junks for a living.

The door was not locked, and it opened as soon as it was pushed, and sure enough, there was garbage everywhere, and there was no place to stay.

The lights were on in the low and dilapidated hut, Han Lao Liu should be at home, Zhou Chen shouted at the gate of the courtyard: "Han Lao Liu, come out!" ”

Soon, a trembling figure came out of it, leaning against the wall, and its rickety body seemed to be about to fall at any moment.

Of course, Han Lao Liu recognized Zhou Chen, but he was still like that, not saying a word, just looking at Zhou Chen with a lifeless gaze.

Zhou Chen did not forget that when he was very young, he always called him a 'sixth grandfather', and every summer he liked to follow him to the back mountains to dig wild vegetables, touch it, and catch rabbits...... I really can't figure out why he did that.

If it was for money, after he came back from re-education through labor, he never had a good life, and it is likely that he did not sell the ancestral heirlooms of the Zhou family at all.

Han Lao Liu just leaned against the wall like that, looking at Zhou Chen in a daze, and his cloudy eyes couldn't see a trace of fluctuation.

A dying man.

It could even be said that he was dead, but the body was still moving.

There's no need to talk nonsense, over the years, all the questions that should have been asked, and the ones who should have been scolded have been scolded, and no one got a useful sentence from his mouth, so at this moment, Zhou Chen immediately used his mind reading technique and went straight to the point.

"Han Lao Liu, back then, why did you steal my family's things?"

Zhou Chen said in a low voice: "My grandfather has always treated you as a good brother, why do you do that?" ”

Han Lao Liu was still like that, he didn't say a word, and his eyes didn't change at all, but the mind-reading technique really worked, and Zhou Chen really sensed his heart: Why? Why......

Faced with such a problem, his long-dormant heart was still a little fluctuating: he snatched Xiao Yun...... Just because your Zhou family has a bit of stinky money......

The perception is not very clear, it is not that there is a problem with the mind reading technique, but that Han Lao Liu's thoughts fluctuate too vaguely, and there is even some confusion, and there can only be a general idea.

"Snatched Xiao Yun?"

Of course, Zhou Chen remembered that his grandmother's nickname when she was young was Xiao Yun...... Could it be that this is actually a relationship entanglement?

Almost, the experts have said that there are three main causes of crime: emotion, hatred and money.

Is Han Lao Liu's practice just to take revenge on his grandfather and the Zhou family?

Who knows, out of respect for his grandparents, Zhou Chen doesn't plan to pursue too much on such a sensitive issue, but he roughly understands the reason.

Just for a crush when he was young, he fought a bachelor for the rest of his life?

deliberately called his grandfather a brother and brother for so many years, just looking for an opportunity to take revenge on his rival?

According to the ideology of modern people, it is really incomprehensible, and this obsession is too deep.

The time for mind reading was limited, so Zhou Chen didn't think much about it, and asked him again: "Back then, are the things you stole still there?" You've sold them, right? ”

Han Lao Liu was still silent, like a walking corpse, but there were still some thoughts stirring in his mind: not rare...... It's not uncommon for your family to have all that stinky money...... Lao Tzu is not rare, Lao Tzu does not want to ......

"The thing is still there, and he hasn't sold it!"

Zhou Chen was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "Where are those things hidden by you?" Is it still there? ”

Han Lao Liu definitely couldn't answer, but he still had the answer in his heart: Houshan...... Buried in the back mountain...... Underneath the old tree pit......

Extremely vague thoughts, perhaps, he himself was about to forget.

"Under the old tree pit!"

The memories of his childhood have not been erased, Zhou Chen still remembers the old tree pit he said, once, there was a thousand-year-old tree, and then in a certain period of turmoil, it was dug out entirely, and the thick trunk was not known where it was go, leaving only a deep tree pit, which became shallower and shallower with the filling of the years.

"You ......"

Knowing the answer, Zhou Chen didn't know what to say to Han Lao Liu, he just glared at him hatefully, and said in a low voice: "You are like this, but you have lived until now......"

Then turn around and leave.

Han Lao Liu stood there stunned, motionless, and after a long time, he slowly fell on the garbage heap next to him, like a dead man......

Zhou Chen really can't hate him, speaking of which, he just stole property, and did not cause substantial harm to anyone in the Zhou family, so he can barely be regarded as having a clear conscience.

In those years, his childhood self often followed him to the back mountain, to put it mildly, if his heart was really vicious, it was likely to be himself buried under the old tree pit, the only seedling of the Zhou family's generation, the only male.

There was a hardware store and a supermarket on the street outside the urban village, and Zhou Chen hurried to buy a shovel and two flashlights, and then headed towards the back mountain.

It's not far, run over, and then climb up the mountain, it took half an hour. Of course, this hurry also tired Zhou Chen enough.

Seeing that he was panting heavily, he was almost tired like a dog, and the shadow also expressed disdain: "Your physique is too poor, you really need to strengthen it well." ”

The so-called enhancement refers to one of the rewards on the wheel of fortune: a basic constitution enhancement.

Zhou Chen didn't know how much change the basic physique enhancement would bring to him, so he could only say at the moment: "By the standards of this world, I'm pretty good, and most of my peers are not as good as me." ”

It's not a boast, Zhou Chen likes to practice martial arts since he was a child, likes swimming, running, playing basketball and other sports, if it weren't for the old wound in his left leg and knee, he would have embarked on the road of a professional athlete.

Back to the point, on the hillside, the old tree pit was almost invisible, and it had long been filled with accumulated dust, if it weren't for Zhou Chen's familiarity with this area, he would really not be able to find it.

According to the surrounding rocks, the specific location of the old tree pit can still be determined, and it is not said that it will be excavated.

At eight o'clock, it was completely dark, digging a pit in the mountains with a flashlight, and if someone saw it, it was really a bit of a suspicion of murder and burial.

Whoop, whoop......

Digging down to a depth of more than a meter, there was nothing but small stones and soil, Zhou Chen couldn't help but guess: Is Han Lao Liu's brain broken, he can't remember clearly, it's not here at all?

Keep digging, the old tree pit back then was almost more than a meter deep, and Han Lao Liu buried something and maybe how deep he dug it.

"Don't worry, there's something out of the ordinary down there."

The shadow gave a reminder: "I can vaguely perceive something until now, and there is something about a meter down, not like a stone. ”

"Can you see through?"

Zhou Chen's hands didn't stop, and he asked in his heart: "Like an X-ray?" ”

"I'm not human, and it's normal to have abilities that are a little different from humans."

Phantom replied faintly: "And my basic ability will gradually improve or expand with the system upgrade, the system assists the elves, in addition to answering questions, it still has to have some other role." ”

"Well, I'm looking forward to it."

Zhou Chen nodded silently, and reminded himself that after all, it was the first day to get the part-time job system, everything was just starting from scratch, and I don't know how many surprises were waiting for him in the future.
