After some thought, Zuo Lanshan finally decided to tell me the truth. His so-called truth is very different from what I guessed, but the general direction is almost the same.

Sitting down again, Zuo Lanshan said to me: "Okay, I really deserve to be the grandson of the old coffin, I know that I can't hide it from you." It's also that my acting skills are too poor and I'm not a good actor! I said, it's not that I want to know, or rather, I'm not curious at all, not interested. We are all in this business, and we know what it means that the heavenly machine cannot be leaked, and we also know what happens if the heavenly machine is leaked. Anyway, it's all tacit things, you and I know it in our hearts, and there is no need to ask to understand. The reason why I must find you and ask this sentence is, in fact, because of one person. This person, you can guess it, I won't sell it......"

"Is it Liu Yuncong?" I added for him.

He nodded and said to me, "That's right! Liu Yuncong! He and Liu Yunjiu are siblings! Born to one mother, they are all the sons of the old man. It's just that later, for some reasons, Liu Yunjiu was passed to the family of the fourth old man and became the heir of the family. Gradually, it has little to do with the big house. ”

"No, I don't think so." I shook my head and said to Zuo Lanshan, "If it doesn't matter much, this big night, Liu Yuncong has to ask you to come to me to inquire about any exact news?" I think there are two possible reasons, either their brothers have a deep relationship, Liu Yuncong didn't want Liu Yunjiu to have any accidents, so after noticing that I invited Liu Yunjiu out to eat alone, this kind of weird behavior, he chose to call you to inquire about the truth, in case of accidents. And the other reason, that is, their brothers are not compatible, Liu Yuncong hopes that Liu Yunjiu will have some accidents, but it is not easy to ask directly. I was afraid that I would wake him up that night, intending to know the truth and wonder if I should artificially create some possible 'accidents'. ”

Zuo Lanshan nodded after hearing this, and asked me, "Is it the former or the latter?" ”

I didn't think about it, so I said to him, "It's the latter, no doubt. ”

"Oh? Why? Zuo Lanshan raised his eyebrows, as if he was a little puzzled by my quick answer.

I felt that such a quick answer should have been, and seeing that he didn't understand, I simply explained to him: "Actually, things are very understandable, I have hinted to Liu Yuncong twice that there may be some accidents with relatives around him." And I've narrowed it down a lot. But on both occasions, he told me almost without much hesitation that there were no qualified people in their family, and no accidents could occur. That day, I took the initiative to ask him whose grave was the bamboo stick. He replied to me that it belonged to his fourth uncle. I'm hinting at him that something might happen to his fourth uncle's family. Coupled with the previous hints about behavior, plus you also said that Liu Yunjiu is the heir of the fourth old man, it means that the fourth old man should have no other sons. So who is going to have the accident? Do you need me to say more? He knew who it was, but he wouldn't tell me. That's the attitude in itself! What is the enmity between him and Liu Yunjiu? Seeing his brother die, doesn't he have the slightest idea of saving people? ”

"Things aren't what you think." Zuo Lanshan sighed and said to me, "Although Liu Yuncong has the intention of deliberately standing by and watching, his own temperament is not bad, but he is ...... Just worried about ......"

"Worried?" Zuo Lanshan's words made me very incomprehensible.

If you're really worried, why don't you ask me? Why did he deny it when I asked? Unless, what he is worried about is not Liu Yunjiu, but someone else!

Seeing that my eyes changed, Zuo Lanshan smiled, "What? Figured it out? ”

I nodded, then shook my head again and said, "I've figured it out a little, but it's not much, if you need to tell me anything, just say it, don't sell it anymore." ”

After hearing this, Zuo Lanshan's face slowly became formal, and he said to me: "Actually, it's not that Liu Yuncong doesn't want to save him, but that Liu Yuncong believes that no one can save him!" ”

"What does that mean?" I couldn't understand, "If I can predict it, there must be a way to avoid it, and he doesn't believe me?" I know this, but doesn't he believe you either? ”

"In this matter, perhaps!" Zuo Lanshan sighed and said to me, "You don't know, in fact, the first person in your family to have a relationship with the Liu family is not you, but your grandfather!" Old coffin! ”

"My grandfather?" This thing really confused me, I don't know, how my grandfather got involved with this big family in the county.

Zuo Lanshan saw that I was puzzled, so he said to me: "Actually, your grandfather and the Liu family knew each other before me, but they never knew your grandfather's name. I don't even know about his title of 'old coffin' and his surname! ”

"That's weird." I said, "Nine and a half out of ten people who can find my grandfather are looking for him to help carry the coffin." And the remaining half, most of them came to him, asking him to look at feng shui, helping to make coffins, carving tombstones, etc. How could anyone come to my door and invite him without even knowing what my grandfather was doing? It's also too ......."

I didn't go on, but the meaning was clear, judging by this ancestral profession in our family, it was not at all that people in the family who did not have nothing in vain liked to associate with. Even the vast majority of wedding banquets did not have our seats, because we were afraid of getting bad luck on ourselves.

Those who come to us easily are definitely uncomfortable finding their own home. But Zuo Lanshan's words next made me even more dumbfounded.

Because it wasn't people who came to find my grandfather at all, but my grandfather took the initiative to find the Liu family.

At that time, Liu Yunjiu had just been born, and he hadn't even become a big name. But this guy is born with a bad fate! It's not that his own life is bad, but that he tortures the people around him too badly! Think about it, who wants to raise such a child, even if it is his own son! Is it comfortable to kill the whole family for him? It is because of this incident that Liu Yunjiu was not well received by the old man not long after he was born. At that time, the old coffin came to the door. It is said that there is an omen, this child is going to kill people again, and they should be more careful in their family, and it is better to pass this child to another family, so that they can rush away from evil. ”

When Zuo Lanshan said this, he sighed and said, "Because several people had already been killed one after another at that time, the old man himself muttered in his heart. So although the old coffin came uninvited, he still said very unlucky things. The old man still decided to listen to him, and passed Liu Yunjiu to his fourth brother who had not yet married a wife and had children. But the old man can not treat his son as a son, anyway, he has no shortage of sons. But the old lady can't! After all, it was the meat that fell from her, and she couldn't give her son away to someone else easily. The old lady was very dissatisfied with the old coffin, and even threw him out of the door. But soon, something really happened to the Liu family. ”

"Something? Did Liu Yunjiu really kill someone? I wondered.

"It's not death!" Zuo Lanshan first denied it, and then said, "Although it wasn't death, the situation at that time was actually similar to death." At that time, Liu Yuncong was already a teenager, not too old, but not young. It's the age when you run around and play with a bunch of kids your age. On that day, it happened to be very hot. Most of our children here are very good at water, and a few children met to go down to the river to play, but at that time, something happened! ”
