Chapter Twenty-Seven: Return to Shangxian Village
In order to ensure that they can have full confidence in confronting the Ludao forces, Qingluguan decided to officially intervene in the battle of the human forces in Lucheng, which is very good news for the Blue Sky Group.
Lan Mingyu is a person who can distinguish the current situation very well, he knows that the Qinglu Temple plays a pivotal role in Lucheng, regardless of whether the Fengyun Association cooperates with Ludao or not, now that he has won over the Qinglu Temple, he is not afraid that the Qinglu Temple will make another time.
So when Liu Yue made a promise to him, Lan Mingyu immediately ordered to unilaterally stop the fight with the Fengyun Society, but he also ordered all the family forces under the Blue Sky Group to increase their vigilance one hundred percent to prevent the Fengyun Society from secretly committing another black hand.
Wu Wei knew that Qing Shao would find out about him being rescued sooner or later, so he needed to always be on guard against Qing Shao Hui attacking him again, after all, that guy was too strong. Even if he didn't have Gu poison in his body, Wu Wei was not his opponent.
I don't know how the woman in red is doing now, Wu Wei is even more worried that before the human side can make a move, she will go to Qing Shao's trouble first. Although the woman in red is also very strong, Wu Wei always feels that her brain is too simple, and I don't know if it's because of amnesia. Qing Shao's guy is very treacherous, and there are so many subordinates who follow him, no matter how you look at it, the woman in red is not his opponent.
According to the plan formulated by Daoist Liu Yue and Lan Mingyu, there should be no attack on Lu Dao in the next few days, and Wu Wei decided to go back to Shangxian Village first. First, he was looking for clues about his grandfather, and secondly, he promised the woman in red to help her investigate her background.
After two days of recuperation, Wu Wei felt that he was almost recovered, and he asked Lan Mingyu for leave to go to Shangxian Village. After all, he is now Lan Muxue's bodyguard, and he relies on others for food and housing, and it is too rude to always say goodbye.
Lan Mingyu was worried that he would encounter any danger again, so he asked him to take King Kong with him. Moreover, King Kong still can't fully control the power after transformation, Wu Wei felt that taking him with him was just enough to teach him some experience, so he agreed.
It's just that I didn't expect Lan Muxue, this girl, to follow her, Wu Wu couldn't resist her. And after thinking about it, I just went back to Shangxian Village this time to investigate some things, and I felt that there should be no danger, so I agreed.
King Kong couldn't see the sun, Wu Wei let him drink a little of his own blood, originally with the idea of trying, if there was no effect, he wouldn't take him. I didn't expect King Kong to be really fine after drinking it, it seems that after drinking the blood of the red-clothed woman, his own blood has also changed.
Without any further preparation, Wu Wei set off with King Kong and Lan Muxue. It was about a two-hour drive from Lucheng City to Shangxian Village, and King Kong drove all the way to Shangxian Village, and arrived at the village in the afternoon.
Returning to the place where he grew up again, Wu Wei seemed to have a feeling of being in a different world. There are more than 1,000 households in Shangxian Village, which is neither too big nor too small for a village. Wu Wei remembers that when he was a child, the village was very lively, especially now that it is the end of summer, every day the villagers should be busy in the fields, the old people who stayed in the village sat on the street chatting about their daily routines, and the children gathered together to laugh and play.
But now after Wu Wei walked into the village again, he found that the village was empty, and he didn't know what happened here after he left. Wu Wei didn't stay in the village for long, he couldn't wait to return to his home first.
took Lan Muxue and King Kong, and trotted all the way to the door of the house. Wu Wei looked at the familiar fenced courtyard, the two slightly dilapidated blue brick houses, the pomegranate tree in the courtyard, and the rattan recliner that his grandfather used to sit on at the door of the house. A feeling of sadness came to his heart, and Wu Wei couldn't help but shed tears.
Looking at the sad Wu Wei, Lan Muxue gently grabbed his arm, and King Kong also patted Wu Wei's shoulder silently. Wu Wei wiped a handful of tears, held back the sadness in his heart, and said, "Come into the house and show you my home." ”
Wu Wei found the key in the brick crack at the door, and when he left, he was afraid that his grandfather would come back, so he deliberately left the key here. This brick crack where the key is placed is only known to him and his grandfather Wu Mian. Unlocking the door, everything familiar came into Wu Wei's eyes again, just like when he left, nothing changed.
Wu Wei led the two to the house, looked at the stove in the outhouse and the dusty dining table, and couldn't help shedding tears again. Walking into his grandfather's room, Wu Wei sat on the kang, buried his head in his grandfather's quilt, smelled the familiar smell, and recalled the scenes in his mind, and finally couldn't help crying.
"Grandpa...... Where are you? ”
Lan Muxue looked at Wu Wei's shoulders twitching because of crying, and couldn't help but sit beside him and burst into tears. King Kong on the side was also infected by Wu Wei's emotions, turned around silently, and sighed softly.
Wu Wei cried for a long time before venting all the sadness in his heart. After a long sigh of relief, he raised his head, his eyes were red and swollen, and said, "I'm sorry for making you laugh." ”
"Where, we all know about you, and we can empathize with you when you look sad." King Kong said, stepped forward and put his hand on Wu Wei's shoulder.
Lan Muxue also comforted him with tears in her eyes: "It's good to cry, I know you've been holding it in your heart." But don't worry, grandpa is blessed with a great life, and it will be fine, I believe it won't be long before you will be reunited again! ”
Wu Wei looked at the two of them gratefully, adjusted his mood and said, "Thank you, Daoist Liu Yue also said that my grandfather will be fine, I believe I will definitely find my grandfather!" ”
Wu Wei went to his room to take a look, and everything had not changed, indicating that his grandfather had indeed not come back. So he took advantage of the fact that it was still dark, and took Lan Muxue and King Kong out of the house, planning to go around the village before it was dark to see if he could find anything.
All the streets of Shangxian Village were empty, and Wu Wei walked on the streets like walking in a ghost village. The houses on both sides of the street were locked, and Wu Wei looked through the windows when he passed some houses without yards, and the houses were cleaned up, indicating that the villagers were not very panicked when they moved out.
But what happened to make the village suddenly look like this?
Walking all over the streets of the village, Wu Wei did not find any suspicious clues. The sky was getting darker, and the whole empty village was even more overshadowed by an eerie color. This is no longer the village he used to know when he was a child, and Wu worries that the villagers must have been threatened by some terrible threat, otherwise it is impossible for everyone to move away from the place where they have lived for generations.
"It's getting dark, where are we going at night?" King Kong looked at Wu Wei and asked.
Wu Wei thought for a while and said, "We will stay here for one night today, I don't think it is possible for the villagers to move out for no reason, they must have seen some threat and had to leave." Since everything is normal during the day, let's see if anything happens in the village at night! ”
Lan Muxue and King Kong both came with Wu Wei, so all decisions were made by Wu Wei. Several people went back to the car to get some food and water, and then returned to Wu Wei's house. Wu Wei meant that they would go home first to eat something and rest, and then walk around the village again in the middle of the night to see if they would encounter anything strange.
Wu Wei's village has long been connected to electricity, so there is no need to worry about lighting and electricity at night. A few people ate some fast food brought for dinner on the dining table of Wu Wei's house, with Lan Muxue and King Kong there, Wu Wei felt that the family was at least popular. Unlike when my grandfather disappeared, although there were people in the whole village, his own home was deserted.
While eating, Wu Wei told them interesting stories about his childhood in the village. Lan Muxue giggled at Wu Worried, and King Kong also laughed innocently, her huge body trembling. Looking at the two people in front of him, Wu Wei was not so sad in his heart.
Listening to Wu Wei tell the story of his childhood, Lan Muxue and King Kong couldn't help but talk about their past.
Lan Muxue has been a spoiled little princess since she was a child, as long as she wants, Lan Mingyu has always been obedient, which has also led to her proud and rebellious character. Another thing that had a deep impact on her was her mother. Lan Muxue's mother left Lucheng to go abroad when she was very young, and Lan Muxue hadn't seen her mother since she could remember. All the memories of my mother are on the phone and in photos.
Lan Muxue didn't know why her mother never came back to see her, but Lan Mingyu told her that he and Lan Muxue's mother were not divorced. As for why Lan Muxue's mother didn't come back, it was mainly because the two had different personalities and concepts, so her mother left the country and didn't come back.
She didn't know what had happened between her parents. But when her mother left, her sister Lan Muyu was already sensible, and she heard Lan Muyu say that the reason why her mother ran away was because she was sorry for her father Lan Mingyu.
Lan Muyu has a grudge against her mother, but at least she has a deep impression of her mother when she was a child. But Lan Muxue has no impression of her mother at all, so let alone maternal love, she has never even felt "maternal resentment".
Compared with Lan Muxue, King Kong's past is even more bizarre. Like Wu Wei, he has no parents since he was a child, but he has never met a grandfather who loves him as much as Wu Mian. When he could remember, he was sold around, and later because of his strong body, he was sold to the underground boxing market. The underground boxing market raised him like a beast, lived in a cage, and trained and fought every day for life and death, allowing him to practice his skills.
At first, he didn't even have a name, but he always used the number "nine" to replace his identity. Later, King Kong grew up in that inhuman environment and slowly became famous. Because he was very strong, with thick and powerful arms like a gorilla, people gave him the nickname "King Kong".
King Kong became the overlord of the underground boxing market after he became an adult, and his name became an invincible existence. But the underground boxing market needs to be profitable, and in addition to winning boxing, there must also be ratings and betting odds.
King Kong's boss arranged for him to play fake boxing, but King Kong seems to be born with an unruly character, even if the boss arranges a boxing match, he has never gone all out, and he has to win if he loses the arrangement.
In the end, the boss of the boxing market, who couldn't bear him, specially arranged a special boxing match for him, so that King Kong could fight a real silverback gorilla. Such a gimmick not only made the odds of the boxing market soar, but also attracted countless spectators. In this boxing match, no matter whether King Kong wins or loses, the boss of the boxing market is sure to make a profit.
It was also this underground boxing match that caused a sensation in Lucheng back then, which attracted Lan Mingyu, the real overlord of Lucheng.
This boxing match was the toughest fight King Kong has ever experienced, and neither in strength nor in defense, King Kong was no match for a true silverback gorilla. In the closed octagonal cage, King Kong relied on his natural advantage to engage in one of the fiercest battles ever fought with the gorillas.
To everyone's surprise, in the end, Vajra broke off two of the gorilla's sharp canine teeth and broke one of the gorilla's legs. And the gorilla broke five of his ribs and bit through his right arm and left shoulder. In the end, both the man and the orangutan were exhausted and sat on one side of the Octagon, and the fight ended in a draw.
After the battle, the boss of the boxing market looked at King Kong, who was almost abolished, and ordered him to be killed quietly. It was Lan Mingyu who bought him in the hands of the black market boss and sent him to the hospital to save him. Since then, King Kong has become Lan Mingyu's bodyguard. King Kong regarded Lan Mingyu as a reborn parent, and was desperate for Lan Mingyu, and sacrificed himself to save Lan Mingyu in danger many times, and became Lan Mingyu's right-hand man step by step.
After listening to the story of Lan Muxue and King Kong, Wu Wei had a new understanding of them. In the past, he put all his thoughts on saving his grandfather and how to deal with Qing Shao, and he seemed to care very little about the people around him. He had saved these two people in front of him, but at that time, it was more in his nature to save them, and he never seemed to really care about them, nor did he really regard them as friends.
Through this solitude, Wu Wei can feel the care of the two about him, and he really realizes that in fact, friendship has always been by his side, but he only thinks about his grandfather's affairs and ignores the people around him.
