Chapter 25: The Patriarch of the Corpse Chaser
Ten minutes later, the boat docked, and several people disembarked, but they saw that there were no houses around, only lush jungle. In the midst of their doubts, the man in the cloak led them into the woods. After walking for a while, I suddenly had a wide field of vision in front of the meeting, and the smoke curled up, and the houses built of tiles and stones appeared in front of everyone. People come and go greet each other, dressed plainly, speaking unintelligible words, with bright and innocent smiles on their immature faces.
"Boss, it's really all childish!" The lazy man's original drowsy appearance was suddenly stimulated by the scene in front of him.
The man who had brought them in had taken off his coat and hat, and it was a man. He casually handed the hat in his hand to the people who passed by, and said the local words in his mouth, as if he was introducing Su Zixi and Yan Luo.
The people of the corpse chaser clan obviously knew Su Zixi, and when they saw him, their eyes fell on him one after another, and even some women looked at him shyly and threw the things in their hands at his feet. Whether it's food or anything else, as long as it's in their hands, they will throw one over. Although they were very friendly to Su Zixi, they still looked at Yan Luo and Chen Ran with scrutiny, and some even said something loudly, as if they were questioning.
Su Zixi glanced at the man and replied with a smile, the man's face couldn't help but turn red, and the others also laughed. looked at Yan Luo and Chen Ran, and the four of them were not very resistant, but they were not very enthusiastic.
Follow the man who brought them in and go all the way inside. The people I met along the way included old men with crane hair and childish faces, men with sturdy bodies and immature faces, and women with graceful bodies and delicate faces. I don't see anyone over 20 years old.
"Do they all speak their own language?" Yan Luo asked.
Su Zixi nodded, "The people of the corpse chaser rarely go out, all the food is taken locally, if you want to eat meat, you will go to the jungle outside to hunt." They have their own language, so most of the corpse chasers don't speak Mandarin, only the patriarchs, elders, and people close to them can speak some of them. ”
"What is the name of the man who led us to the patriarch?"
"Rune Shi is the patriarch's righteous son, and he was also the fiancé of the patriarch's daughter."
The voice of the two talking was not big or small, and it happened that everyone around them could hear it, and when Daji heard that Fu Shi was Jiaojiao's former fiancé, the whole person was suddenly excited, and directly crossed Yan Luo, Su Zixi and Chen Ran, reached out and grabbed Fu Shi's collar, and looked at him with annoyance.
As soon as the surrounding corpse chasers saw that someone had made a move on the patriarch's righteous son, they stepped forward one after another, their faces were angry, and the atmosphere instantly became frozen and tense.
"Daji! What are you doing! The lazy man slapped his forehead and hurriedly stepped forward to break Daji's arm. How can this person be so impulsive when he encounters a delicate thing!
Yan Luo glanced at Su Zixi beside him, this person did it on purpose! knew that Daji had a good impression of Jiaojiao, and he also told this matter.
"Let it go!" Chen Ran reprimanded.
"Boss!" Daji looked at Chen Ran angrily, saw the warning in his eyes, and looked at the rune stone in front of him again. This person, this person is Jiaojiao's fiancé who was forced to marry! After a few minutes of stalemate, Daji still let go of his hand and looked decadent.
"If it weren't for him, Jiaojiao wouldn't have run away from home!"
"Daji! What are you talking about, if Jiaojiao hadn't left home, you wouldn't have met her! What's more, even if it wasn't a runestone, wouldn't there be anyone else! After the lazy man finished saying these words in one breath, he sighed, lowered his voice and said, "This is someone's place, no matter how angry you are, you have to endure it!" ”
Fu Shi looked at Daji, looked at the surrounding corpse chasers, and said a word, and the people around him scattered, and his eyes were still staring at the few people outside.
Several people continued to walk forward, and Rune Shi silently led the way in front, unaffected in the slightest. Yan Luo looked at the people around him and said in a low voice, "What did Mr. Su mean by what he said just now?" ”
Su Zixi smiled and said, "Isn't this friend of yours the daughter of the patriarch of the Ren family?" I'm just helping to push it. ”
"...... "It's the first time she's seen someone like this." Originally, because of the delicate thing, the whole person lost his stability and became more and more impetuous, and this person added fuel to the fire!
After walking for about ten minutes, a small courtyard appeared in front of me, and the surrounding walls were crawling with green plants, which looked a bit like a creeper. Rune stepped forward and knocked on the door, there was no pattern, it seemed that there was no code. Also, after all, this is a corpse chaser clan, and if you need a code to knock on the door here, the corpse chaser clan is not like Wu Lao said that every house is closed at night.
A few people walked into the small courtyard, there were some hay and dried vegetables drying in the yard, and a few chickens were wandering around the yard. The house is made of wood and the small door at the entrance is open, so you can see from the outside that it is clean inside.
Fu Shi did not take them directly into the house, but stood outside and said something, Yan Luo Chen Ran and the four of them did not understand, Su Zixi translated in a low voice. It turned out that the guests had arrived.
As soon as Rune Shi's voice fell, footsteps sounded inside, and the sound of dada was getting closer and closer to the door. Yan Luo looked inside curiously, and saw a middle-aged man in his forties coming out of it. With black hair and a dark local dress, he has a resolute face, no smile, and a sharp gaze.
A few people were very puzzled, didn't they say that the people of the corpse chaser clan were all child-faced? Even the appearance of the rune stone looks like he is only about seventeen or eighteen years old, why does the patriarch look like an adult?
"Patriarch, long time no see." Su Zixi said to the visitor with a smile and took a step forward.
When the patriarch saw Su Zixi, his sharp gaze instantly became gentle, but he was still sharp and didn't dare to let people look at him directly. "Mr. Su, long time no see, don't come unharmed!" The words are round, and he speaks pure Mandarin, and he can't hear the accent at all.
Su Zixi smiled and said, "I took the liberty of visiting, and I asked the patriarch to forgive me." ”
The two of them said kind words back and forth, Yan Luo stood quietly behind him, and Chen Ran did the same, but he looked at the small courtyard quietly. The lazy man lazily half-blinded, as if he hadn't woken up, just stared at the people around him all the time, lest he act impulsively. Although Daji was a little impatient, he also knew that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so he could only be anxious in his heart.
The patriarch seemed to have just seen the four people behind Su Zixi, his eyes were like torches, he looked at the four people with sharp energy, and said in his mouth, "Mr. Su, these four are your friends?" ”
Su Zixi pushed his glasses and said with a smile, "This is Su Yan, my friend, a very good friend." At the end of the sentence, there is some unclear meaning, which makes people think about it.
Yan Luo frowned, not knowing what this guy wanted to do. Feeling that the elder looked at him, it was a little obscure, and he didn't know whether he was regretting something or sighing something. There was no suspicion, and it seemed that he trusted Su Zixi very much.
"These three are from the TBA of the border city."
Mao Rang Patriarch looked at Chen Ran and the three of them with slightly narrowed eyes, his eyes flashed with fine light, and he guessed why these three people came. This place is not under the jurisdiction of the TBA of the border city, could it be that those people are related to the border city?
"Patriarch Maorang, hello, my name is Chen Ran, this is Daji and lazy." Chen Ran smiled with a sunny face, which made people can't help but feel good.
The patriarch nodded and said, "I wonder what the people from the border city TBA are doing here?" ”
Chen Ran naturally couldn't say that he came for your daughter, and said with a smile, "We came with Su Yan." He kicked the ball to Yan Luo again.
Yan Luo glanced at him with a smile, and the latter only felt a chill on the back of his neck, felt the cold wind blowing, and sneered and avoided his gaze.
Mao Rang looked at Yan Luo, only to feel that the 'boy' in front of him was young and delicate, with a calmness and sharpness that young people rarely have. Although Rune Shi looked calm, he was still a little frizzy in his work, and all the actions of this child from the moment he entered the door, although they seemed to be headed by Su Zixi, were not to be underestimated.
"Why are young people here?" Mao Rang naturally put his voice gently, which made the rune stones around him look at Yan Luo in some surprise, looked up and down, and finally pouted and looked away.
Thin and small, what did the stepfather like about her? I've never spoken so gently to me!
Yan Luo smiled and said, "Patriarch, the younger generation came here for friends, and secondly, they were quite curious about the corpse chasing clan, so they came to see the uniqueness of the corpse chasing clan with Su and Zixi. ”
Mao Rang laughed, looked at Su Zixi and said, "This little friend of yours is really good at talking!" After speaking, he turned to the side, pointed his left hand into the house and said, "Please come in, the humble house is shabby, please forgive me." ”
Entering the house, the room is clean and tidy, the items placed on the ground on the cabinet are also neat, and there are many ceramic jars on the ground, which are tightly covered, but this room is only one room.
"There are more and more things in this small room of the patriarch." Su Zixi looked at the jars and said with a sigh.
Mao Rang smiled and didn't speak, and motioned to Rune Shi to open the door, and Yan Luo and the four of them found out that there were other organs in this hut. I saw that the empty wall suddenly began to move, and then I saw the scene behind the wall, which was a small three-story wooden building. There were still figures walking back and forth inside, and when they saw the wall open, the figure hurriedly rushed out.
"Daddy, just let me out!" The delicate and impatient Lori Yin, dressed in local clothes, wears simple silver jewelry on her head, and the bell rings with her movements. looks like a Jiaojiao who has been missing for a long time.
"Jiaojiao!" Daji exhaled excitedly, it was too late for the lazy person to stop, and he sighed in his heart!
Jiaojiao saw that there were still people behind her father, and three of these people were known to her, so she spread out her grabbed arms and came to Chen Ran and the three of them, and said in surprise, "Boss, Daji, lazy, why are you here!" After finishing speaking, he looked behind him cautiously, and found that Daddy's face was not good, so he immediately walked back to him, and then smiled at Chen Ran and the others, and the joy in his eyes couldn't be hidden.
She knew that the boss would never ignore her, and she didn't know if Luoluo came, but even if she came, she probably wouldn't be able to get in.
Sitting in the hall, Mao Rang's face was a little cold, and his eyes were sharp and he looked at Daji, making Daji's body tense, afraid of doing something wrong. Mao Rang snorted coldly, he didn't miss that when Ina ran out, he wanted to go straight to this person, and the joy of this young man named Daji was almost overflowing the entire courtyard.
"Mr. Su, you didn't say that these three knew the little girl when you came over!" The questioning tone, Ling Yan's gaze was close to Su Zixi.
Su Zixi didn't care either, and said with a smile, "You also heard it just now, they came with us, although I heard that they did have a friend who has been missing for a long time, but I didn't know it was your daughter." The words were so straightforward that Yan Luo and the others wanted to believe it.
The corners of Rune Shi's mouth twitched slightly, this person is really not empty at all! But he wasn't going to tell the truth. He never thought about marrying Ina , he thought that a few years after Ina ran away from home, his father-in-law would not think about it, but he didn't expect to bring Ina back this time, but he still wanted to marry her to himself! He has no affection for Ina.
