Chapter 197: The Secret Past
"Whew, whew!"
The whimper of the north wind sounded particularly real in Orchid Bay, as if there was a low voice of a dying old man. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Tang Daxing, Tang Batian, and Shen Qiangchen were very close to each other, although this close proximity could not increase the temperature, but it seemed to be a little closer to make people feel warm. After the three of them came to the gate of Yizhuang, they stood at the gate of Yizhuang for three or four minutes. If it weren't for the high wall of Yizhuang to block the wind, and without the original design of the circular building, I am afraid that I would not be able to stay at this gate for a moment.
These few minutes are not a problem for a few people in normal times, but in this cold winter night, in this place that is no different from the wilderness, it is tantamount to an ordeal.
Shen Qiangchen knocked on the door vigorously, but everything seemed to be in the house. Those who don't know think that this big house covered in ice and snow is abandoned, and it seems that they don't feel the breath of people at all.
Tang Batian on the side was not angry, and he was rarely snubbed when he was used to being sought after by everyone. Although this place is rarely visited, it is not surprising that it is a cold and snowy night with a howling north wind. He knew that Luo Ran was injured, whether openly or secretly, Luo Ran had always avoided visits from outsiders. I have been here several times in the past few days, Luo Ran has seen him, and he has also told himself not to mention it to others.
If you change people, you will think that Luo Ran did it on purpose. Just met Niu Shuigao and Tang Pingxi them, Tang Batian, who was on the road, didn't think that Luo Ran would meet them, so he didn't bother to ask them about the situation here. Seeing that Niu Shui was a few years high, he didn't say anything to himself, but Tang Batian knew that this was the gap between himself and the villagers over the years.
Even if they didn't say anything, Tang Batian could guess that if there was no accident, he must have been blocked back by Luo Ran's eldest son, Luo Ying.
For Luo Ran to see himself, Tang Batian has always believed that this not only means that the two people have been friends for many years, but also that he fully trusts himself. Although he also made some instructions that night, and even some details that could not be humane, Tang Batian was convinced that this was not a warning to remind him, but that Luo Ran felt a huge crisis, and he had the intention of teaching him face-to-face.
Since the government's new policy opening up in recent years, significant changes have taken place in the surrounding counties and cities, many enterprises are making incomprehensible adjustments, and people's mentality has also undergone earth-shaking changes. The embarrassed expressions of the people in the village, Tang Batian understood better than anyone else. In the past, it was a one-word decision, but now it is no longer possible to intervene in everyone's life.
Tang Batian himself is also trying to change and integrate with this rapidly changing society. Luo Ran rarely comes back from work in the provincial capital, and if it weren't for his disobedient youngest son, he probably wouldn't have retired early. Even so, he naturally knew much more things in the provincial capital than in the village. But Tang Batian believed that Luo Ran regarded the Hongyangtang as his home, otherwise how could he take root in the Hongyangtang.
No matter how the hall changes in the future, he also has a little worry about the future.
Maybe many people can't see the efforts he has put in, and there are many people who don't understand this hidden danger, but in fact, a lot of things have happened in the promotion hall during this time. When he saw Luo Ran again, Tang Batian actually found that he was injured. Others may not understand the significance of Luo Ran's injury, but Tang Batian deeply understands that the person who can make Luo Ran hurt must be an extremely terrifying person with amazing means.
I had seen Luo Ran's amazing methods back then, and some ordinary people couldn't understand his skills, so I firmly believed that he was not an ordinary person. Now Luo Ran, like himself, is gradually aging as his children grow up, but Tang Batian believes that Luo Ran is more nostalgic. Over the years, he has always understood Luo Ran's character, and he attaches so much importance to this matter, it is obvious that if he is not careful, it may involve life and death.
However, what surprised Tang Batian was Tang Daxing, this old man didn't seem to be surprised by the reaction of the Luo family, standing there straight, not in a hurry, looking at his expression as if he was recalling something. Tang Batian didn't bother him, knowing that this old man had too many stories. But looking at Shen Qiangchen, who was babbling, was still shouting, but no one seemed to be as quiet in Yizhuang.
Shen Qiangyang muttered something in his mouth, nothing more than slandering Luo Ran for not being interesting enough, afraid that he would enter the house and drink his wine, etc., and didn't seem to take into account the fact that he had something to do here with Tang Daxing, and he came here with Tang Daxing. Tang Batian didn't care about Shen Qiangchen, it was because of this man, it should be said that this old man also has a legend that is difficult for many people to achieve, but now everyone only sees him playing drunk.
In this era when materials are not rich, people like Shen Qiangyang who are addicted to alcohol will be criticized by the villagers. In an era when you can't even eat enough, you think about drinking a few glasses every day, and boiling a vat of rice wine from time to time. If you do this, you will be thundered by the sky, and the villagers will scold Shen Qiangchen like this. Everyone has forgotten that this person fought bloodily for the country, fought in the south and in the north to resist US aggression and aid Korea, and none of these were all brought back with his life, but he never opened his mouth to the country.
Tang Batian was a little helpless, because he occasionally helped him, but it was impossible to help much. The pension issued by the county's armed forces department every year was turned into wine within a few days of his hands. The guests of the family scolded him when they saw him, and he was used to it. For this person's temperament, Tang Batian could only be deeply helpless and sympathetic. He became like this today, no one really knows why, but there must be a story.
patted Shen Qiangchen on the shoulder and motioned for him to calm down. Shen Qiangchen was obviously a little stunned, but looking at Tang Batian with a smile, he knew that he must have something in mind, and he really quieted down. Tang Batian didn't squeak immediately, he was waiting for a response from the house. His reason is very simple, Luo Ran is recuperating at home, so he naturally doesn't want anyone to disturb him. Shen Qiangchen made such a big move, but it obviously delayed his recovery.
If Luo Ran wants to open the door, someone will naturally come to greet him, if he doesn't want to see someone, unless he only slams the door and enters, but this is obviously not a good idea. The last time I saw Luo Ran was actually not long, and I even saw Long Fengzhi. He didn't know Long Fengzhi, but Luo Ran didn't hide what he meant, and later learned that Long Fengzhi was Tang Liangyuan's master.
He had also heard people say that Tang Liangyuan had learned boxing from others in the steel factory, but Tang Batian had always only regarded it as just to strengthen his body. Now that he saw it here in Luo Ran, Tang Batian understood that this Master Long Fengzhi should be the same as Luo Ran, not such a simple character. Although he hadn't seen Tang Liangyuan do anything, and even though he was a little surprised in his heart, with his familiarity with Tang Liangyuan, he also felt a little closer to Long Fengzhi.
"Eight days seems to know the result!" Tang Daxing suddenly folded his hands and spoke lightly, although he did not look at the gate of Yizhuang, but also looked at the snowy scene everywhere around. Although it was a cold night, after a few days of snowfall, it was covered in snow, and it was possible to see the scene not far away. Tang Daxing naturally didn't have this thought, but just thinking about his Gao Yantang's past, and even today's fire, his heart became more and more dull.
"It's not that I know the result, there are few people in the village in the past two days, and it is said that there are old people who are gone in previous winters, but this year seems to be a little different! I heard that everyone came to invite Lao Luo, but they all returned empty-handed. Some people say that Lao Luo went back to the provincial capital, and some people say that Lao Luo made a mistake in showing the children of the Tang Dianfeng family, and it is not easy to face the villagers! It's chilling to say this, I think that Lao Luo must have something, otherwise how could he have rejected the people in the village all these years? Tang Batian replied softly without a trace.
He didn't say nonsense with his eyes open, fooling in front of Tang Daxing, he didn't know what Tang Daxing meant, although he knew that Tang Daxing and Luo Ran had a good relationship, but thinking of Luo Ran's instructions that night, Tang Batian still said slowly. Seeing that he usually speaks very quickly, this time he seems to be afraid of disturbing the ice hanging by the eaves.
The expression on his face remained unchanged, a trace of imperceptible strangeness flashed in his eyes, and finally he glanced at Shen Qiangyang, who was depressed, but he still turned his head to look at Tang Daxing: "The thirteen barbarians often come to the bay, it should be rare to encounter this kind of thing!" ”
"Rare indeed!" Tang Daxing said calmly: "As long as he comes back to the village, I will come to sit in the bay." I didn't hear about him going back to the city this time, how much happened in the village, Zu Rao came back and probably said it. Originally, I didn't pay attention to it, but today's fire in Gao Yantang made me wake up, these things are not so simple! Presumably Lao Luo has already discovered that if he doesn't come out to meet people, it doesn't mean that he won't participate, and there may be some things related to him! ”
Tang Batian couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, but he looked at Tang Daxing quietly on his face, he always knew that he was powerful, he didn't expect to see him so thoroughly, and he couldn't help lowering his voice again: "The thirteen barbarians are so resolute today, could it be that they see something from the fire in Gao Yantang?" ”
"I'm not sure what! Two days ago, when the trial showed that something had happened, Qiang Chen's sister-in-law Cheng was merciful and called a few of us old guys together, saying that someone in the promotion hall was releasing Gu! Tang Daxing's voice was a little cold, and the ethereal voice seemed to come from far away.
"Someone in the village is releasing Gu!" Hearing Tang Daxing say this, Tang Batian, who knew some of the inside story, was chilled and looked at Tang Daxing, who had a calm face. There seemed to be some sadness in his eyes, but that kind of grief had been tormented by the years, and it had long been dull and unreal, leaving behind a wave of powerless vicissitudes.
"Yes! Qiang Kui's eldest brother Cheng Kuigong died of Gu magic in Miao Jiang back then, and a few of us have seen it, and it is certain that the trial was also tricked. I will never forget that situation! Tang Daxing's eyes were filled with a burst of fear, as if something terrible had appeared in front of him, his eyelids couldn't help jumping, and he said in a hoarse voice: "There are so many people in Gao Yantang, almost most of them died from the Gu, how could I forget this situation!" ”
Tang Batian, who was standing at the gate of Yizhuang, suddenly felt that his whole body was stiff and cold!
