Chapter 128: The Great Competition
"It's okay, let's take a look first." The fat man also frowned and said. Originally, they planned to go directly into the house, express their intentions to the second grandfather, and ask him for advice.
But after seeing this situation, Li Ergou retreated in his heart.
"Brother Ergou, go, hide!"
After a few more minutes, the fat man suddenly pulled Li Ergou and said anxiously.
Li Ergou raised his head and looked into the courtyard, and saw that the second grandfather was already driving the carriage and was about to go out.
"Brother Ergou, how did you find out about Lord Chenghuang?"
The fat man is also a talker, and after getting in the car, he asked Li Ergou.
"It's just a guess, I'm not sure yet." Li Ergou said helplessly.
When he saw the third uncle's expression, he asked the fat man again: "Fat master, is the city god very powerful?" ”
"The people of the Lingyin Sect have things in charge of the underworld, and they dare to argue with Guan Erye, they are so skilled, do you say they are powerful?" The fat man thought for a moment, and then said directly.
As soon as he heard this, Li Ergou suddenly "chuckled" in his heart, and secretly said that it was not good.
In fact, he called the fat man with selfish intentions.
Before getting into the car, Li Ergou secretly observed the third uncle, his eyes were red and bloodshot, and even his expression was very wrong, there was pain and entanglement.
It seems that the third uncle is likely to directly fight with the city god.
If Lord Chenghuang was really the person Li Ergou guessed, then he didn't want to see the two clash.
If the fat man fights alone, he will neither be the opponent of the city god nor the opponent of the third uncle, but if he is there, he can at least mediate from it.
"No, Brother Ergou, why did you suddenly ask that?"
At this time, the fat man also reacted, saw that the atmosphere in the car was not quite right, and asked rhetorically.
"Don't ask, you'll know when you get to the village."
Li Ergou replied to the fat man, he only hoped that he was wrong.
Seeing this, the fat man didn't ask any more, but from the excited appearance on his face, it was not difficult to see that he was actually quite looking forward to seeing the city god.
The car soon fell silent, and the third uncle sat in the co-pilot's seat, leaning on the back of the seat with his eyes closed, not knowing what he was thinking.
Only the driver had a strange look, and from time to time he glanced at the rearview mirror above the center console, and his expression was as if he had seen a neurotic.
If it weren't for the fact that the distance was not too short and they could earn a hundred and eighty yuan, it is estimated that the driver would have driven them out of the car a long time ago.
However, this is understandable.
Normal people, who would talk about the Lingyin Sect and the City God in the car?
No matter how this sounds, it sounds like!
It didn't take long for the car to come to Wolong Village, and under the guidance of the third uncle, the driver drove directly to Li Ergou's house.
"Brother Ergou, no, aren't we going to find Lord Chenghuang? How did you get home? ”
The fat man quickly noticed the abnormality and asked Li Ergou.
"Okay, fat man, don't say anything." Li Ergou said.
After seeing the driving route, Li Ergou even the last hope in his heart was shattered, he knew that the third uncle was the same as he thought.
The elusive City God with a grimace mask is likely to be his dearest.
The fat man was slightly stunned, but soon felt the strange atmosphere between Li Ergou and the third uncle, and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.
"Ergou, are you ready?"
After the online car-hailing left, the third uncle stood at the gate and said with a deep breath.
Li Ergou nodded, with a determined look in his eyes, he knew that the truth he had been looking forward to for twenty years was likely to be solved immediately.
Seeing this, the third uncle didn't say anything more, pushed open the door, and stepped in with his feet. As far as the back is concerned, there is a kind of tragedy of "the strong man is gone".
Seeing this, Li Ergou and the fat man hurriedly followed.
When I went in, I found that my grandfather was the only one in the yard, sitting on a small bench, with a dry tobacco in his mouth, and he was chopping wood.
"Third uncle!"
Li Ergou couldn't help but shout at the third uncle, he was very entangled in his heart now.
It is not difficult to deduce from the words of Mrs. Huangpizi that twenty years ago, his father was skinned and mysteriously disappeared, and his grandfather knew about it, and he couldn't even get out of it.
But why is this the case?
After listening to the third uncle's questioning, Li Ergou collapsed in an instant, feeling that the whole person had been completely stripped of his soul.
However, what made him even more devastating was his grandfather's answer.
"Yes, what do you want?"
In the face of the third uncle's inquiry, the grandfather just took off the dry cigarette holder, knocked it twice on the cement floor, and said disapprovingly.
He didn't even deny it, he answered crisply, and there were no emotional fluctuations in his cloudy old eyes.
When he heard this answer, Li Ergou felt that the sky was about to fall, he held his hands on his head and squatted directly on the ground, not knowing what to do.
One is his most respected grandfather, and the other is his biological father, Li Ergou only feels that God has played a huge joke on him.
Zhou Yun also squatted down at this moment, gently holding Li Ergou's head in his arms, his face full of tears.
And the fat man was just dumbfounded, it was not to stand there and walk, nor to continue to stay.
It is difficult for a Qing official to decide family affairs, not to mention that he is still an outsider!
"Dad, why, tell me why, eldest brother is your own son!"
The third uncle asked through gritted teeth, his fists clenched, and his expression was extremely painful.
"What, my son is disobedient, do you need a reason to teach Lao Tzu a lesson?"
Unmoved, Grandpa refilled the tobacco and took two puffs before he continued, "Remember, my life is mine, and yours is mine." ”
"Ahh
The third uncle roared in pain, the green tendons on his forehead burst out, and then like a deflated ball, he sat down on the ground, hiding his face and crying bitterly.
The whole courtyard was lifeless and in shambles.
Grandpa was smoking dry tobacco there, Li Ergou and the third uncle, as well as Li Ergou's mother Zhou Yun, all cried together.
The only person standing was the fat man.
But he obviously couldn't intervene in this matter, not to mention, grandpa's other identity is still the city god, and the fat man is not an opponent at all.
At this moment, Li Ergou can best understand the third uncle's mood.
As far as Li Ergou is concerned, on the one hand, the hatred of killing his father is not shared, and on the other hand, he is a respected grandfather, and he cannot be filial piety.
Sandwiched in the middle, it's really hard to do!
Although Li Ergou had expected this result and this dilemma at the moment, he was still a little at a loss when it really happened.
However, Li Ergou was unwilling after all and was not carried away by emotions.
His father, Li Chengde, is his grandfather's biological son after all, and the tiger poison does not eat children, let alone the grandfather of the city god?
