Chapter Eighty-Four: Isn't Tangjiabao?
The wooden house is a little dark when you look inside from the outside, although the door is open, but when you really stand in the room, you find that it is not as dull and dull as you think, maybe because of the wooden house, although it is not bright, but at least the view is not obstructed, the air circulation is better, and you don't feel depressed.
An old man is lying on an old rocking chair and swaying, his eyes are closed and he looks very comfortable, but it is not right to say that he is an old man, although his hair is gray and his complexion is no longer flat and even has a few wrinkles, but he does not have the old man's sense of twilight, more like an uncle, because of the perennial work and a little old, with calluses in his hands, but the limbs are not curled and weak is the best proof.
"Uncle, we are here to inquire about something, not to buy a stall." His eyes swept over the body of the person in front of him, and although he did not salute, his tone was still a little respectful, even if it was just respect for the elderly.
"If there's anything you want to ask, just ask." The uncle's tone was very casual, and it sounded like he knew everything.
Sure enough, the older people are, the more shrewd they are, and their hearts moved slightly, and it is difficult for the Xu family brothers to get the news out of this person's mouth, speaking of which, they can ask if they want to, but it depends on whether you want to say it or not. With his head turned to the Xu family's brothers, he motioned for them to speak.
"Old man, we came here yesterday and still want to ask about someone missing in the village." Seeing my gaze, Xu Shiyi Lang said cooperatively.
"Oh, it's the two of you, didn't I say it yesterday, you don't have to worry about this matter, and you can't take care of it." When Xu Shiyilang's words fell, the uncle suddenly opened his closed eyes, looked at the Xu brothers for a long time, his tone was a little slower, he felt helpless, as if he was suggesting and reminding, and shook his head slightly.
Sure enough, it can't be triggered, after listening to the uncle's words, my heart beat slightly, Xu Shiyi Lang does have the ability, this kind of clue can also be dug out, and he also tried to pick it up, but he shouldn't have received it, he took this into account when he gave them the task, and it wasn't too uncomfortable, if it was me, I would also try it, not to mention that they were not familiar with each other. But what does this uncle mean when he says don't care, can't take care of it, his identity is not enough? Lack of strength? Thinking back to what the uncle said earlier, he couldn't help frowning.
"The affairs of the Tang Sect realm naturally have to be taken care of by the disciples of the Tang Sect, and in Shuzhong, if something happens to the Tang Sect, no one will take care of it." Seeing Xu Shiyilang's slightly helpless gaze, he couldn't help but speak, not too loudly, and his tone was also very flat, but the meaning was not light, this is not conceited, in Shuzhong, the disciples of the Tang Sect are indeed qualified to say this!
"Huh." "Question: Are you a disciple of the Tang Sect?"
The uncle was unmoved when he heard this, the smile on his face seemed to be disdainful, and he laughed at me for not being able to do anything, the smile fell, and a rhetorical question followed, and that casual tone made people frown.
"Why not." With the uncle's words, he asked directly.
"You guys too?" The uncle's tone that was lying on the rocking chair suddenly became heavy, and the body lying down also stood upright, although it was a little rickety, but the faint oppression was clearly audible, and it had nothing to do with internal strength, it was a pure momentum.
"Count." In the face of the uncle's questioning, he didn't hesitate at all, and finally knew what the trigger point of this task was, and he unconsciously smiled lightly.
"Huh." "You are also considered disciples of the Tang Sect, then the Tang Sect is"
It seemed that he couldn't stand it anymore, and a chuckle flashed on the uncle's face again, and the irony in this chuckle was even more obvious, and with the laughter fell there was also the undisguised disdain, but before the words were finished, his eyes glanced at the object in my hand, and his body suddenly froze, and the rest of the words were swallowed back.
"Then Tangmen hasn't given up Wofeng Village yet" looked at the things in my hands and condensed slightly, and then shook his head gently, as if he couldn't believe it, and after being silent for a long time, his wandering gaze returned to the things in my hands again, and he muttered in his mouth, his tone was very light, as if he was talking to himself.
Looking at the uncle's reaction, his eyes paused slightly, he really knew this thing, and the thing in my hand was nothing else, it was the Tang character token handed over to me by Senior Sister Qianyu in the forbidden land that day!
After listening to the uncle's words almost to himself, the palm of his hand was immediately grasped, and the Tang character token was also put away, and for the first time he felt that this token was unusual, although the uncle only had a glance, and he had not yet started, but it was still determined, which was enough to see that the uncle was familiar with the Tang character token. But looking at the uncle's reaction and the words in his mouth, it seems that he hasn't seen this token for a long time, how long? Seven years? Is it related to the departure of the top pillars of the Tang family seven years ago? The thought flashed and my heart trembled slightly, I don't know why, I always felt that there was a hand pushing me behind, and it was getting closer and closer to the hidden past of Tangmen, it seemed that that hand wanted me to give an answer, to put an end to this matter that had not yet been drawn.
"I didn't know that Shaoxia was from the Tang Sect before, so don't blame it." The uncle in front of him is also worthy of being a person who knows the destiny of heaven after the age is not confused, but his mood fluctuates and calms down, I am still thinking about the affairs of the Tang Sect, but the uncle speaks first, and then a simple salute in his hand.
I wanted to dodge away, but when I saw the uncle's stiff but unhesitating movements, I couldn't help myself and didn't let go, this gift is not for me, it's for Tangmen!
"Uncle can tell us the whole story now." Seeing that the uncle finished the salute, although his face softened, it was very different from the stiffness when he entered the house first, but he was silent again, and he really wanted to know the whole story of this matter, whether it was really related to Senior Sister Yunxue or the Tang family, and couldn't help asking.
"Huh." "Yes." When the uncle heard this, he first laughed inexplicably, and then opened his mouth to be sure.
Sure enough, the older the person gets, the more refined he becomes, after coming back to his senses, the uncle's tone is not as respectful as he imagined, although I was confirmed to be a disciple of the Tang Sect, but I am really young, and it is not good to be too humble, and looking at the appearance of the uncle, I don't know how many disciples of the Tang Sect I have seen many years ago, but I haven't seen it for a long time, but even if I think so, I don't want to speak as stiff as I began to reject people.
"The missing people in the village are related to Wuhumen." The uncle's eyes flickered slightly, and he said without the slightest uncertainty.
When I mentioned this matter again, the uncle's mood obviously fluctuated, and although his tone was light, he could still feel that the uncle's anger seemed to be a little irrepressible, and there was nothing to be done except anger, and he was sad and sad.
After listening to the uncle's determination, I couldn't help but be stunned, Wuhumen? Not Tangjiabao?
