Chapter 34, The Old Man's Memories
The black bat struggled desperately, but Song Shun's hand was as immobile as an iron tong, even if the black bat scratched a blood mark on Song Shun's arm with his fingernails, he didn't have any intention of letting go, the blood flowed down Song Shun's arm and dripped on the black bat's face.
"That's it." Song Shun said indifferently, and then slammed a punch on the black bat's face, and the black bat's nose bone was broken on the spot, but Song Shun did not stop, punch after punch, even if the black bat fainted, he did not stop, and there seemed to be a trace of anger hidden on his cold face.
Tang Yao couldn't help but shout: "Stop, if you keep fighting, he will die." ”
Song Shun, who heard the voice, stopped his fist, glanced at Tang Yao, then let go of his hand and stood up straight and walked towards the exit of the garden.
"Where are you going?" Fang Chao asked.
"The order I received was only to come for reinforcements, and now that the mission is complete, I will go back." Song Shun left the garden after dropping this sentence.
Fang Chao sighed and said: "Powerful people are really very dragged up, Tang Yao, if you become powerful in the future, don't treat me like this, we are also buddies." ”
Tang Yao smiled helplessly: "I can't become so powerful in my life, what is the condition of that old man?" ”
Fang Chao gently patted the old man's cheek, and then pinched the middle of the person, the old man slowly woke up, and the first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was Fang Chao, as if he was startled and shouted: "Who are you, I don't know anything, I ...... I'm going to call the police. ”
Fang Chao hurriedly explained, saying that he was the person invited by Boss Zhang, and the bad guy had been defeated, and the old man saw the old spider and the black bat lying on the ground at this time, he didn't know the black bat, but when he saw the old spider, he immediately showed a timid expression.
"You're really not bad people, thank you so much, little brother, take me to the hospital." The old man's voice said in horror.
Fang Chao motioned for him to calm down, and then said: "We will definitely take you to the hospital, but we have to find out who you are first, hasn't this old mansion of the Zhang family been vacant for a long time, why are you here, and why do they want to arrest you or even impersonate you?" ”
Tang Yao was also full of doubts on the side, in his opinion, this old man must have an unusual identity, and I am afraid that he knows some secrets, these secrets are related to the old mansion and even obsidian, so he will be controlled by the old spider.
"I ......" The old man didn't seem to want to say, but at this time, Sanyu, who had been watching the play, came over with a smile and gently shook the old man's hand.
"Don't worry, old man, we're all good people."
I don't know if this little girl has special magic powers, the old man who was still frightened just now was much calmer at this time, and after hesitating for a moment, he actually said: "This house is actually mine." ”
As soon as these words came out, Tang Yao and Fang Chao were even more puzzled, even if the old mansion of the Zhang family had been vacant for many years, everyone knew that this mansion was the ancestral property inherited by Boss Zhang, why did this old man say that this mansion was his, could he also be a descendant of the Zhang family?
"Who are you?" Tang Yao asked.
The old man sighed and said: "In terms of blood relationship, I am Xiao Zhang's uncle, this old mansion is the only inheritance left to me by my father, that is, Xiao Zhang's grandfather, although I have been wandering in the field when I was young, but I have been living in the old mansion since I came back in recent years, but I rarely have contact with outsiders, and people outside are not willing to get close to the old mansion, so few people know about my living here." ”
Then the old man told his story in more detail, and Tang Yao knew what was going on.
This old man is actually Boss Zhang's own uncle, that is, the son of Boss Zhang's grandfather, but not too many people know about his existence, because this old man is an illegitimate child born in the background of that era.
When Boss Zhang's grandfather was doing business abroad, he gave birth to this old man with a local woman, but he was not accepted when he brought it home, and the old man was always regarded as hard labor in the Zhang family when he was young, and because it was an illegitimate child, he was often beaten and tortured by the grandfather's aunt and wife, and then he couldn't bear it and secretly escaped.
It was not until he became an adult that he recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, and the old grandfather of the Zhang family, who was already old at that time, felt that he owed something to him, so he privately promised him that after he returned to the west in the future, this old mansion would be left to him as compensation, but it was also stipulated that he could not get involved in other businesses and properties of the Zhang family.
Later, the war broke out, the Zhang family moved to the family, the old man was separated from the rest of the family in the war, he also wandered in the field, and did not return to the Zhang family's old house until the last few years, because he held the will and title deed of the Zhang family at that time, so it was logical to become the owner of the old mansion today.
After knowing the identity of the old man, Tang Yao felt more and more strange in his heart, didn't Boss Zhang know the existence of this old man in advance, if he knew, then he should know that the old mansion of the Zhang family did not belong to him, but to this old man, and the secret hidden in the old mansion of the Zhang family should also be inherited by this old man.
In other words, this Boss Zhang is pretending to be confused, deliberately deceiving the Dead Bone Hall, and wants the Dead Bone Hall to bring out the treasure that does not belong to him from the Zhang family's old mansion.
Tang Yao, who thought of this layer, glanced at Fang Chao, and whispered a few words in his ear, and Fang Chao nodded thoughtfully when he heard this: "I'll call the upper authorities again and report the progress of the matter, in addition, the obsidian is so important, you should let the upper side send more people over for reinforcements, you continue to talk." ”
Tang Yao knew that Fang Chao was going to report this matter, and doing business with the Dead Bone Hall must be based on integrity, but I was afraid that this time Boss Zhang would not be able to eat and leave.
"Then why are these bad guys trying to arrest you, and have they asked you anything?" Tang Yao asked.
After thinking for a while, the old man pointed to the unconscious old spider and said: "That person came two days ago, said that his ancestors had dealings with the Zhang family, and said that he had just returned to China and wanted to visit, so I let him in, but I didn't expect that as soon as I entered the door, he knocked me unconscious, and then controlled me and forced me to ask me about obsidian, but I didn't know anything, and he didn't believe my words, so he trapped me in this white cocoon." ”
Tang Yao could see that the old man was not lying, but he didn't understand it even more, this old man was an ordinary person at a glance, why did the old spider force an ordinary person to ask about the obsidian, wasn't this full of food?
Thinking of this, he took out a picture of the silk cloth and the fan found in the room and asked, "Do you know who these two things came from?" ”
The old man looked at the photo of the silk cloth and shook his head and said, "I don't know the photo on this silk cloth, but this fan...... It's mine, to be precise, this fan is one of the few relics my mother left me, and I've always kept it with me. ”
Hearing this, Tang Yao seemed to know something, and hurriedly asked: "Do you have any impression about your mother, what she does, what she looks like, can you tell me more about it?" ”
"I have a vague memory of my mother, I only remember that I followed my mother to live in the old house of the Zhang family, but the people in the family were very bad to our mother and son, they let me do hard labor, let my mother be a servant, although my father has always wanted to give my mother a name, but at that time he still had a few ancestors alive, and he did not agree, and then my mother became ill and depressed, and died when I was very young, and my father seemed to be very sad after her death, and sometimes mentioned my mother's affairs in front of me, Saying that my mother was the most incredible woman he had ever seen in his life. There seemed to be tears in the old man's eyes when he said this, no matter how much time passed, even if he was no longer the child he was back then, the thought of his mother was still deeply imprinted in his heart.
"In addition to these, are there any more specific impressions, such as...... Is there anything unusual about your mother? Tang Yao asked.
The old man was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and thought for a while, and then said: "You say that, it seems that there really is, I remember that although I lived a very hard life when I was a child, my mother would always give me some tricks, all of which are not great tricks that are not known to jugglers and entertainers outside...... This trick is called ...... Magic...... Yes, she's talking about illusion. ”
Hearing this, Tang Yao finally understood in his heart.
