Chapter 24: The Answer I Wanted

Although he didn't know where the old liar's trust in him came from, Chen Xian still instinctively chose to believe him, because Chen Xian knew very well that no matter how much the old liar liked to deceive himself, it was impossible to deceive this kind of risky thing, maybe that kind of statement was a bit numb, but Chen Xian could really feel that the old liar was treating himself as a grandson.

To say that Chen Xian is confused and ignorant of the world, that he has low emotional intelligence and does not understand the world, these are all facts, even two months ago, Chen Xian was still the same person who did not enter, as if he deliberately withdrew himself from society and became a marginal person who made him feel very secure, but these did not affect his ability to perceive emotions, especially when Mu He appeared in his lonely life like a lone wolf.......

Since the death of Chen Xian's grandfather Chen Ba, Chen Xian is actually not very accustomed to living alone, even though his life level is far higher than ordinary people, but he still has a deep uneasiness about this seemingly familiar world, for him this world is like an unknown fog, even his grandfather can die suddenly...... What else is impossible?

Living in this foggy world, Chen Xian walks on thin ice every day, and must carefully "confine" himself in the old mansion and avoid contact with outsiders as much as possible until Mu He appears...... It's like a ray of sunlight suddenly shining from the sky in the fog.

It's hazy, it's unreal.

But it can make Chen Xian feel the warmth that he has not felt for a long time.

It's like a cold winter when Layue fell into the cold and biting river alone, and when you almost gave up all hope and planned to sink naturally, someone suddenly reached out and dragged you...... After living with Mu He for a while, Chen Xian gradually learned to open his heart to outsiders, at least not to keep rejecting people thousands of miles away.

He has become less introverted than he used to be, and he will no longer deliberately avoid the "feelings" of outsiders for him, so when he faced the old liar, he naturally noticed many details that he had ignored in the past, and more deeply realized how good the old liar was to him in daily life.

Therefore, Chen Xian can't refuse and has no reason to refuse the private work that the old liar nodded and agreed, and it should be the benefits that the old liar gave him.

"I'll take it." Chen Xian looked at the old toad and asked, "When will you leave?" ”

"Look at you." The old toad smiled, and when it saw that Chen Xian agreed, it seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "Don't worry over there, look at your schedule, little brother Chen." ”

Chen Xian thought for a while and said, "Three days later, I want to rest for these two days." ”

"Okay!" The old toad nodded and said, "I'll go back to Yunnan Province first, and when you're ready, Brother Chen, we'll contact you later." ”

As soon as the words fell, the old toad jumped up and down to the old liar, leaning in his ear and muttering softly, not knowing what to say, Chen Xian could only see the excitement on the old liar's face, the kind of cunning smile...... It only reminded him of the picture of every time the old liar succeeded in tricking people.

"Master, Brother Chen, I'll leave first." The old toad smiled and saluted the old liar in a proper manner, "Thank you for always matching Xiao Xian with this incident, I remember this kindness." ”

"Let's go, let's go." The old liar waved his hand and said with a smile, "I'm just an intermediary, and there's no kindness in raising my hands." ”

After a few words of greeting, the old toad left the grocery store, and told Chen Xian to call him in advance when he was ready, so as not to go to Yunnan Province and no one would answer them.

The old liar was a very curious person, and as soon as the old toad left, he immediately revealed his true form, and began to ask Chen Xian what they had bought at the fair.

Hearing Chen Xian say the two evil weapons that they bought, the old liar couldn't help but nod and sigh, saying that they had a good vision for future generations, and they didn't buy those premium things, but bought the most cost-effective evil weapons.

"That umbrella is actually not as evil as other objects, it is more like a cold weapon with greater side effects than an evil weapon, the biggest feature is that it is indestructible, even the titanium alloy ball can be used as an apple to cut ......" The old liar drank tea with a smile, and seemed to like chatting with these young people, and took the initiative to introduce it to them, "As for the Taiping card that Xiao Lu bought, it has almost no other role except for protecting the soul and body, but the filthy blood hidden in it is quite tempting." ”

"Grandpa Ge, is there a way to get out that blood?" Lu Yisheng also learned to call grandpa in Chen Xian's tone, and there was no excessive eagerness in his words, it was like discussing academic issues with his seniors, and his expression was rarely serious, "Isn't it possible to take out the sign by physical means?" ”

"If it was so easy to take out, it would not be possible for this brand to sell for such a low price." The old liar smiled, with the face of a profiteer, "If I can take it, I won't take it sooner, how can I get your turn." ”

Hearing this, Lu Yisheng looked a little lost, after all, in his eyes, the old liar was already a strange person who was the best in the world, and even he, the master of the Yin City, couldn't take out the Yellow Turban Lux in the Taiping Brand..... How could he take it out after a lifetime?

"Can't smash this sign?" Chen Xianhu asked suspiciously, because he had observed the evil weapon up close, whether it was the raw materials for making the evil weapon or the craftsmanship of the caster, it was a very ordinary level, and it should not be impossible to open it with the methods of an old liar.

"It's not that it can't be smashed, it's that the blood is smashed and ruined." The old liar said helplessly, "I once found someone to test it with an instrument, and judging from the test results, the drop of blood should be hidden in the center of the brand, but right..... That drop of blood may not be as big as Xiaomi, and if you use external force to forcibly break the Taiping card, there is a chance that the drop of blood will be destroyed. ”

"it, isn't this a pit man......"

Lu Yisheng muttered, seeing that the old liar's eyes turned to him, he hurriedly explained: "It's not that you, uncle!" I mean the guy who sealed the blood in the sign! ”

"Anyway, the price of it is not high, you don't have to lose money to buy this thing, once you are lucky and find the opportunity to dig out that drop of blood, you kid will make a lot of money, you know!"

As he spoke, the old liar put down the teacup, reached into his pocket and fumbled for a while, and took out a crumpled cigarette case.

"You sit here for a while, I have something to talk about with Xiaoxian."

Hearing what the old liar said, everyone also quieted down, although they were also very curious about what the old liar and Chen Xian were going to talk about, but now was not the time to gossip casually, and even if it was to carry the old liar behind his back afterwards...... Lu Yisheng and they may not necessarily ask Chen Xian, because since the old liar chose to avoid it, it is obvious that he does not want outsiders to know what they are talking about, and he can't gossip about this kind of thing casually.

"To the back room?" Chen Xian stood up, the expression on his face was very calm, as if he had guessed what the old liar wanted to talk to him.

The old liar nodded, walked in with his hands behind his back, and Chen Xian followed closely, and then gently closed the door as he entered the house.

The back room of the grocery store is no bigger than the spacious and bright vestibule, and the light in the room is very dim, only the old floor lamp in the corner is on, and the sleepy warm light makes Chen Xian feel a little inexplicably depressed.

"You have a question for me, don't you?"

The old liar walked to the tea table and sat down familiarly, smoking slowly with a cigarette in his mouth, chatting with the old man on the street, while talking, his right foot was cocked on the knee of his left leg, and he kept rubbing the soles of his feet with his fingers as if he was massaging, which made Chen Xian feel bored...... He rubbed and buckled and shook, and it smelled bad...... It's spicy to look at!

"There are a lot of questions I want to ask." Chen Xian sat in a position far away from the old liar, for fear that he would bump into him when he picked his feet.

"Just ask." The old liar nodded, then thought for a moment, and added, "If I can answer you, I will answer, and if I can't answer you, you don't have to chase and ask." ”

"Can't answer me?" Chen Xian frowned, a little puzzled by the old liar's words, "Is it because you don't know the answer that you can't answer me, or because of some reason, you can't answer me?" ”

The old liar looked up at the ceiling, as if he wanted to answer Chen Xian's question.

After more than ten seconds, he lowered his head and looked at Chen Xian and said.

"Because of your grandfather."

"My grandfather?"

"yes, it's the old thing." The old liar sighed, and when he talked about the old man, the expression on his face was not so natural, and there was a faint grief in his eyes that he didn't want to remember anymore, "He asked me to keep some secrets before he died, so there are not many things I can answer for you, you should be able to understand." ”

Hearing this, Chen Xian couldn't help but be silent, and finally nodded in understanding.

"I really have a lot of questions..... Because I have so many answers I want to get......."

Chen Xian stared at the old liar intently, his tone of voice changed slightly, and his emotions became slightly excited.

"Grandpa Ge, am I really just an alien?"
