The atmosphere froze all at once.

The third uncle waved his hand and said to Mrs. Cheng: "Brother and sister, don't mention the past again, our two families are good friends, and we can't hurt the peace for this matter." ”

He is the third master of the Lin family, and when his husband sees him, he has to be called the third brother, Mrs. Cheng is not good at refuting his face, and her uncompetitive son is pulling her sleeves vigorously, begging her not to trouble Lin Wan again.

After all, he is an old Jianghu who has experienced countless winds and waves, and his ability to grasp the atmosphere is still quite strong, Mrs. Cheng smiled and did not take Lin Wan's words to heart.

"The third brother is right, I can't hurt the peace for this matter, I came here this time for two purposes, one is to talk to your Lin family, this is not in a hurry to talk later, and there is one more thing, I want to ask your Lin family for help!"

"Brother and sister, please tell me, what do you need our Lin family to help with?" The third uncle asked.

"That's the case, after the death of an ancestor of my Cheng family, in order to provide shelter for future generations, he voluntarily refined the body into a corpse, and when the two armors were about to be unearthed, I didn't want to be stolen by thieves, I heard that you have been active in the south of the mainland, have you heard any news?"

After Mrs. Cheng finished speaking, she secretly observed the other party's expression, and then found disappointed that the Lin family had a confused look, obviously hearing the news for the first time.

Sure enough, the third uncle replied, "We haven't heard any news, brother and sister, where is your burial place." ”

"The burial ground is about five hundred miles away from here, in the depths of a barren mountain."

The Lin family shook their heads one after another, saying that they didn't know about this matter.

"Brother and sister, our Lin family can help you investigate this matter, you can rest assured, as long as we get any news, whether it is true or not, we will tell the Cheng family as soon as possible."

"Okay, then thank you Third Brother!"

"Brother and sister are polite, our two families are on good terms, this is a favor, our Lin family has helped, by the way, do you have a clue to the thief?"

"Yes, not much, there are at least two people in that gang of thieves, and the cicada worm I left behind only saw a girl, she was very well guarded, and she couldn't see her eyebrows and eyes at all, she could only tell from her size and voice that she was a girl!"

The Lin family's hearts moved, but their expressions did not change in the slightest, and the third uncle asked quietly: "What about the other person, what are the characteristics?" ”

"He didn't show up from beginning to end, he only said one word, I don't know if it's a man or a woman, and I don't know what his characteristics are."

The third uncle nodded, and then comforted: "Brother and sister, have you left a mark on the corpse, if there is a mark, even if the thief steals the corpse, he will not dare to use it easily, as long as she dares to move, we can find it sooner or later, and the younger brother and sister can wait patiently." ”

It's okay not to say these words, but after saying these words, Mrs. Cheng's face became ugly.

The third uncle asked in surprise: "Brother and sister, what's the matter, is there any other change?" ”

"Don't hide it from the third brother, that damn thief stole the arm bones and leg bones, and the corpses of my Cheng family's predecessors have been destroyed!"

"Ahh

The Lin family was dumbfounded, and several people blurted out: "She doesn't want to change her bones!" ”

Mrs. Cheng nodded bitterly, and said sadly: "Yes, that little beast is a rare thing, and he actually stole the corpse for the bones, and he was ruined by her for the long-cherished wish of my predecessor!" ”

Others are okay, Lin Wan and Hongsao's hearts have already turned up a huge wave, and they have already guessed who did it and what the purpose of doing it is.

The third uncle and the others also have a spectrum in their hearts, knowing that this matter is likely to be done by the uncle, since the uncle did it, then they must cover for him.

"Brother and sister don't have to be sad, since you have found us, our Lin family will never stand idly by, let's do it, there is nothing to do, let's accompany our brother and sister to investigate, investigate this matter, we will investigate together, I believe we can find some clues."

Mrs. Cheng was happy, there were not many people she brought, so she really had to spread it out to investigate, and she really didn't know when she was going to find out, it would be much more convenient if the Lin family helped.

She can now be sure that this matter has nothing to do with the Lin family, it is all old rivers and lakes, a few words, a few expressions, you can guess whether you have anything to do, this point depends on the grasp of people and things, Mrs. Cheng's confidence is still quite accurate.

"Then thank you Third Brother!"

"Brother and sister are polite, our two families are good, this favor must be helped!"

The fifth uncle suddenly asked on the side: "Sister-in-law, you just said that you wanted to talk to us, but I don't know what you want to talk about?" ”

Mrs. Cheng smiled, looked at Lin Wan and said, "Of course, let's talk about Dantong." ”

One yard is one yard, friendship is friendship, things are things, Lin Wan's escape from marriage made the two families lose face, the most humiliating one must be the Cheng family, for the sake of the good face of the two families, it is just a matter of not finding Lin Wan, now that Lin Wan has been found, of course people want to ask for an explanation.

As soon as these words came out, the Lin family all understood, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Lin Wan got up generously and bowed deeply to Mrs. Cheng: "Aunt Cheng, the juniors acted recklessly and hurt the faces of the elders, I formally apologize to you and Uncle Cheng!" ”

The head of the family bowed and apologized, this courtesy is enough, and what people want is this courtesy, do you really want to fight with knives and guns.

"Brother and sister, this matter is indeed my young lady's inconsiderate handling, let's do it, at the clan meeting of each family, our Lin family can give a point to the Cheng family."

One point, not a penny, but a profit, is a bargaining chip in the exchange of interests of various families, don't underestimate this profit, this is a large amount of wealth, enough to express the Lin family's apology.

Mrs. Cheng is satisfied, she can accept this result, all the face benefits have been obtained, and she also knows the truth of accepting it when she sees it, if she is too greedy, she will hurt her feelings.

She was going to say something nice and put the matter to a good end.

Unexpectedly, before she could say anything, Cheng Feng stood up suddenly and said loudly: "Dantong, you don't need to apologize, I can understand you, that's not your responsibility, it's me who didn't do well and let you down, I don't want a cent from the Lin family, I just ask you not to ignore me in the future, do you think it's okay?" ”

Mrs. Cheng almost fainted, this uncompetitive son, was he born by me, who is this bear Baojin?

She regretted it in her heart, she knew that this was the case, she shouldn't have brought him out.

The Cheng family lowered their heads in shame, feeling that the eldest son was really embarrassed, too embarrassed!

Lin Wan's expression also looked very embarrassed, and she didn't know how to answer Cheng Feng's request.

Mrs. Cheng turned her head and shouted, "Xiaotian! ”

Cheng Tian hurriedly walked over and said, "What does Madam command?" ”

"Send the eldest young master back to rest, he's tired!"

Cheng Tian agreed, stretched out his hand to hug Cheng Feng, and dragged him away from the scene.

Cheng Feng shouted to himself: "Dantong, give me a chance, we can start again, don't look for Li Mu anymore, he is not worthy of you, hmm..."

The atmosphere of the conversation was completely gone, and Mrs. Cheng didn't have the face to stay any longer, and after chatting with the third uncle and others for a few more words, she hurriedly said goodbye and left.

After the Cheng family left, several heads of the Lin family immediately gathered together to discuss the theft of bones.

Sister-in-law Hong looked very excited, smiling happily, but Lin Wan was so preoccupied that she was almost about to cry.

"Third uncle, did you say it could be my uncle who did it?" Hongsao asked.

"There is a little girl among the thieves, and there is more than one person, and she is very likely to be a loser, and I can't guess who else would do that."

"Yes, it's hard to meet corpses, who would spoil good things like this, I also think that they are the most suspicious, those two little girls must want to change the bones of their uncle."

The third uncle and the others laughed and said nothing, for the big family, this kind of behavior is indeed a failure, but for Li Mu, this kind of behavior is the most appropriate.

Everyone is aware of the fact that compared to the people in the descending gate, Li Mu's body is very weak, and using the bone exchange technique to strengthen his physique is really a good way to achieve immediate results.

The key is that there is no need for the Lin family to break the bank, which not only spoils the Cheng family's chances, but also improves the strength of the uncle, killing two birds with one stone, why not.

Some people may ask, aren't the Lin family and the Cheng family on good terms, how can they treat their friends like this?

This is because they are both friends and rivals, both cooperative and competitive, and there is an opportunity to weaken the strength of their competitors, which is a joy to see no matter which one.

Because of Lin Wan's escape from marriage, the Lin family was forced to give up a profit, and the words were easy to say, but while speaking, blood was dripping in his heart.

A profit, which was fought by blood and sweat for several generations, was given to the Cheng family like this, and it was false to say that it was not distressing, but in order not to turn against the Cheng family, this profit must be reluctantly given up.

The third uncle's concession was not an impulsive act, but the result of repeated discussions among the heads of the Lin family after Lin Wan escaped from marriage, and he was waiting for the Cheng family to use it to calm the other party's anger when he was in trouble.

The Lin family even prepared for the worst, once the Cheng family did not forgive, they would give up another profit, who let their eldest lady do things at a loss, no matter what time this matter is, it is not the Lin family.

Fortunately, the Cheng family did not lose their cool, and after encountering an emergency, they did not go to the Lin family to discuss the law as soon as possible, but chose to treat it coldly, and never troubled the Lin family until Lin Wan appeared again, and only then did they talk to the Lin family about the matter.

The reason why the Cheng family did this, of course, was also to not hurt the friendship between the two families, and they didn't want to affect the cooperation between the two sides because of this incident, which was a great way to give the Lin family face.

Therefore, the Lin family's apology and compensation, the Cheng family feels well-deserved and relieved, but for the Lin family, it is inevitable that they will be dissatisfied.

The reason is very simple, what the Cheng family has lost is just face, but the Lin family is a real loss, who is more important in face and interests, I am afraid that each has its own opinions, it is not the same!

Because of this, the uncle's stealing of bones not only did not disgust the Lin family, but made them feel very relieved.
