Chapter 143: The Frog in the Water Tank
We hurriedly turned around and returned to Lao Yu's small courtyard, this time not only did we not call him at the gate, but we also walked very softly and slowly when we entered the door.
Lao Yu was still sitting on the Eight Immortals chair facing the door, and after seeing a few of us turn back, his face changed instantly, and the whole person was a spirit, but he quickly returned to normal.
"You ...... Why are you back? Listening to the voice, he was still very surprised in his heart, but he just pretended to be calm.
"Old Yu! Didn't your wife die a long time ago? Why lie to us! Zhang Kailong asked straight to the point.
Lao Yu was stunned when he heard Zhang Kailong ask this, but he still deliberately pretended to be like no one else, and asked Zhang Kailong: "How do you know?" After saying that, he smiled in a flash.
I can see that Lao Yu is hiding something from us, and I make a bold guess: probably her daughter did not come back, and he did not trust the police in his heart and did not want the police to interfere, so his attitude towards us also took a 180-degree turn.
"When we entered the village, we had already inquired and said that your wife had passed away a long time ago."
I didn't understand what Zhang Kailong meant at first, and said in my heart: The three of us entered the village together, and he never left in the middle! But then I realized that he was bluffing! Probably the police interrogators will be so coaxed and deceived!
I thought that Zhang Kailong would be so frightened, Lao Yu would be bluffed, and then he would be honest about everything. Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Lao Yu actually smiled slightly, and I saw a sense of victory in his flashing eyes.
Lao Yu just replied lightly, "Yes".
Seeing him like this, even I knew that there must be a place where the stuffing was exposed, and Zhang Kailong could be more aware of it, so he changed his words and asked Lao Yu again: "Who is the person in the house here?" ”
At this time, Lao Yu was already very calm, this calmness was from the heart, not the same as just now, he was pretending to cover up.
"Is there anyone in the house? Not at all! ”
Lao Yu said with a smile, still with that victorious look on his face.
Chen Laosan and I were also stunned, what is going on with this old man today! It's like a different person, talking wrong, and even the brain is broken?
"There's no one in the house? So what did you just say......
Before Zhang Kailong finished speaking, he heard Lao Yu wave his hand and replied: "It's really no one, maybe ...... Maybe I was wrong! If you don't believe me, go into the house and see. After speaking, he also pointed to the curtain of the inner house (many people in the village do not have a door in the inner house, but only hang a curtain).
Now I'm a little confused, just now I did hear the sound of banging on the basin in the house here, and I heard it clearly, Chen Laosan said that it was his wife inside, it was only a few minutes away, why didn't you admit it?
At this time, Chen Laosan whispered to Zhang Kailong: "Have you paid attention?" The way he speaks has changed! ”
The phonetics spoken by Chen Laosan refer to dialects.
When I saw Lao Yu yesterday, his local dialect was very strong, and the biggest feature was that he said "I" as "I", the word "I" is our local dialect, many people will say so, so the more local the more they can't hear it, and Chen Laosan is from Ningxia, listening to this unfamiliar word is particularly harsh, so the impression is particularly deep.
Hearing Chen Laosan's words, my first reaction in my heart was: Could it be that the old man in front of me has been tricked?
When they were in Ningxia before, the Monkey King and they were under the Gu of the resurrected river god and controlled them for more than ten years. Judging from Lao Yu's current performance, I'm afraid he was also tricked.
I secretly used the heat in my body to flow into my eyes, and when I looked closely, Lao Yu's face, especially the eyebrows, was only pale, and I couldn't see that there was the unique blue and black aura of a person in the Gu.
That's weird! I wondered.
"If you don't believe me, you can go in and have a look! I'm a lonely old man, and there's nothing unseemly! ”
Lao Yu still had a smiling expression, as if everything was under his control.
Zhang Kailong hesitated, stepped in front of the door curtain in a few steps, turned around and glanced at Lao Yu, and then with a flick of his hand, the person entered the inner room.
Chen Laosan and I also walked in after him.
I thought this was a bedroom or kitchen, the layout of the rural house is very simple, generally there are two or three rooms, and most of the bedrooms and living rooms are together, in fact, it is not divided into where is the bedroom, where is the living room, a family of four or five people are crowded on a large earthen kang, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, they are so exquisite.
Lao Yu's house is quite a lot, maybe he is the village party secretary, and there is such a bedroom of more than ten square meters.
After lifting the curtain, I realized that this was neither a bedroom nor a kitchen, but a utility room, but the miscellaneous items here were relatively simple, basically different styles of water tanks.
No wonder I heard the sound of tapping on the water tank just now, it turns out that there are so many water tanks here! But then I realized that something was wrong, how could only the water tank ring? It can't be the water tank knocking itself! In addition, what we don't understand is that he doesn't sell pickles and pickles, what is he doing with so many water tanks.
Out of curiosity, I squeezed past Zhang Kailong, walked to the nearest large water tank to us, bent down to see what was in the tank, and as soon as I probed, I was suddenly startled and jumped.
There was a pair of eyes staring at me in the tank, the eyes of a giant frog.
"Holy! Such a big frog! ”
I subconsciously took two steps back and exclaimed.
Frog? Zhang Kailong and Chen Laosan were also taken aback, and slowly leaned over to the water tank.
There were frogs in this large tank, and I leaned over again, only to see that there was more than one frog in it, at least half a tank of frogs, but this one was especially large, and stood on the highest point of all the frogs.
Looking at the other water tanks, there are also frogs and toads of all sizes.
After Zhang Kailong only looked at a few of the water tanks, his attention shifted to the surroundings of the water tanks, he looked left and right, and he should be looking for the person who slapped the water tank before.
"What are you doing with so many frogs?"
Zhang Kailong asked Lao Yu while looking behind the water tank one by one.
"I raise and play, and there is no shortage of frogs in the countryside, why can't I?" Lao Yu had already walked to the door, with a very unceremonious tone in his voice.
For a while, Zhang Kailong didn't know how to answer him, so he had to smile slightly and said, "I didn't say no, this is your freedom!" ”
I think it's very strange, mainly because I don't understand, it stands to reason that an old man in the countryside, even if he wants to raise some small animals, is also a small animal such as a dog and cat, how can an old man in the countryside raise frogs idly?
Unexpectedly, Chen Laosan, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly spoke: "These frogs won't be your food, right?" ”
As soon as he heard this, Lao Yu's calm face instantly turned red.
