Chapter Twenty-Five: The Old Man's Past

The village chief saw that the old man was more curious about me, so he hurriedly helped to introduce, "Second uncle, isn't this an accident with Zhang Laohan?" I specially went to the neighboring village to invite the coffin! ”

Originally, the old man looked at me and was just full of curiosity, but after listening to the village chief's words again, he immediately became a little more strange.

I saw all the changes in the old man, and when I saw this, I suddenly felt that I must be able to get some useful news from him.

"The coffin master of the neighboring village, I have seen it before, when did it become a melon baby?"

The old man, like everyone else, had some doubts when he saw me so young.

Lao Liu glanced at me apologetically, and then explained to the old man: "Second uncle, didn't you remove the four old ones a few days ago? This old coffin master has not escaped, this is the grandson of the old coffin master, and he is also capable. ”

Hearing Lao Liu say this, the old man nodded, "Since it's to help deal with the aftermath, how did you find me here?" ”

The village chief sighed, "Second uncle, you must have heard about the things in the village, and now things are getting more and more complicated, so the little coffin master hopes to know something about Zhang Laohan." ”

The village chief mentioned Zhang Laohan again, and this time the old man was a little more stunned, and then picked up the wine cup in front of him again and drank it all.

Seeing him like this, I can feel that his relationship with Zhang Laohan is indeed extraordinary.

"I have something to say, it's just that Zhang Laohan is gone, and no one drinks with me anymore, so it's really not suitable for me to think about it."

Although I feel like it's funny, the old man doesn't seem to want to ask this question very much.

And how could I give up the hope that I had so won so hard!

Without waiting for Lao Liu to speak, he hurriedly said: "Uncle, it seems that you used to drink with Zhang Laohan a lot, so you should be able to talk to him!" Do you have common interests? ”

Conversation is an art, and since the old man has shown that he doesn't really want to bring up this topic, I can only use a rigid method to get him to speak on his own.

Sure enough, after listening to my inquiry, the old man's conversation box was also opened, but it was more of a reminiscence of Zhang Laohan.

"In the past, I liked to go up the mountain to catch some game, and come back to drink some wine, until one time when I was on the mountain, I didn't pay attention to being caught by someone else's clip, if it wasn't for Zhang Laohan who happened to find me, I might have walked in front of him."

"Since then, every time I hunt game, I ask him to have two drinks together, and he sometimes comes to me with game wine, and the two of us have a small talk with each other, but we are also comfortable."

"The two of us drank together two days ago, who knew that this person would be gone if he said no, and no one would drink with the old man in the future."

While talking, the old man poured himself wine, said a drink, and half a bottle of wine went down.

Seeing the old man drinking like this, I could also feel that he was really sad because of Zhang Laohan's affairs, and I suddenly thought about what it would be like if Zhang Laohan knew.

Of course, I don't know the answer to this question yet, so I can only talk about it later.

"Uncle, I can understand your feelings, after all, it is difficult to find a confidant! However, you and Zhang Laohan often drink, it must be very fateful, I don't know what you usually talk about together? ”

"What can we talk about? It's nothing more than talking about the things in the village, talking about what good things are on this mountain, and if we see the track of any game, we will go up to hunt game together. ”

"That old man also often goes to the mountains? Do you often catch game? ”

The old man shook his head, "I know he often goes up the mountain, but he doesn't hunt for game very often, and every time he comes to me with game, he says that he happened to meet it." ”

I thought about what the old man said, and suddenly I had some conjectures in my heart.

What Zhang Laohan wants to protect, will it be on the mountain?

"Uncle, I heard the village chief say that Zhang Laohan's ancestor moved to the village, I don't know anything about his ancestor, do you know anything, or have you heard anything about Zhang Laohan?"

Speaking of which, the uncle has also opened his heart, and did not ask me why I asked this, but began to think carefully.

"Although everyone in the village knows that Zhang Laohan's ancestors were brought over, but in fact, when they brought over, they were born earlier than many people, so they can be regarded as a part of this village, where is there any saying, I haven't heard what Lao Han said, I don't even know him!"

Hearing the old man say this, I was suddenly a little disappointed, it seems that my own expectations are too high, simply, but it is not without any gain.

At least I have a new goal, and the task Zhang Laohan said is likely to be related to the mountain.

The old man said so, and there was no need for us to stay any longer, and then we prepared to leave.

And just as we were about to leave, the old man said to himself again, "Poor old man, everyone is gone, and the children haven't come back to take a look, how can he leave with peace of mind!" ”

Hearing this, the village chief and I were stunned for a moment at the same time, and the village chief also took a special look at me, and the two of us went out.

As soon as I went out, the village chief immediately asked me: "Little coffin master, do you think Zhang Laohan will send him to the end because the child did not come back?"

Just now, when I heard the old man mention Zhang Laohan's children, I remembered what Zhang Laohan said that his children were unwilling to take on this mission.

Since they don't want to, not don't know, it means that they know, and I might be able to start with them.

"Village chief, can you contact Zhang Laohan's children in the village, and if you can, can you let the two of them rush back as soon as possible?"

"Let them rush back? Does that really have to do with the two of them? ”

It's clear that the village chief is still on his own channel, but unfortunately I don't have time to explain that much to him right now.

"Whether it matters or not, it is only natural for the child to send his father to the end, and the village chief troubles you to find a way to get them back quickly."

Village Chief Liu nodded, "I know, then do we have to go to someone else's house now?" ”

At my urging, the village chief suddenly didn't know what he was going to do first.

"You send me to the next house first, I'll talk about it myself, and then you can arrange and agree to his child's affairs!"

Now many things have not been investigated clearly, and I have nothing else to do, so naturally I want to continue to understand Zhang Laohan's affairs.

And it is urgent to find Zhang Laohan's child, so I think that I will be separated from the village chief, and of course, I will have to trouble the village chief to send me to the next family before this.
