Chapter 18 Further to the Tang Mansion
"Sir, where are we going?" Sun San quickly took the umbrella and asked after Dian.
"Tang Mansion." Dean said as he calmly surveyed the crowd on the street. Although the cold wind was blowing at this time, people had to tighten their necks, but the streets were still crowded and lively, although for some bloated people, the absence of a neck was no different from a shy toad with a big belly.
Everyone is like being stunned, with exactly the same smile on their faces, and exactly the same expectation hidden in their eyes. At this moment, Wukang is no longer confined to the distinction of regions, nor is it confined to the difference between men and women, if Confucius is reborn and sees such a beautiful scene, I am afraid that he will inevitably come to the last sentence, "Depressed and literate, I am from Wukang".
But compared to everyone's joy, Dean couldn't be happy. This was not only because he was already extremely skeptical about the overlord's apparition, but more importantly, he clearly remembered how many innocent lives had been brutally killed in just a few days.
It seems to be a very strange phenomenon that people imagine it as a false hope and worship it after experiencing its torment, even though it is the root of all evils that cause suffering.
"Heh, I'm looking for you." Dean and the others were just about to approach the Tang Mansion, but Tang Huan came to meet them. Although the puffy bags under her eyes and her sleazed yellow face had already made her tired at this time, judging from her brisk steps and the smile raised at the corners of her mouth, she seemed to be in a good mood.
Dean came back to his senses from his thoughts, he looked at Tang Huan who was getting closer and closer, and his heart, which was still a little uneasy, instantly settled down.
"Done?" As soon as the two approached, Dean was the first to speak.
"Do you need to ask?" Tang Huan tapped Dian's shoulder with the hilt of his sword, and his chin raised slightly, "Now think about how to repay this girl's great kindness." ”
"Great kindness?" Dean took over and smiled a little sly, "Isn't that just a personal promise." ”
In the face of Di'an's ridicule, Tang Huan raised his eyebrows, and the sword in his hand suddenly showed half of it, half provocative, half threatening and replied: "Yes!" It's a pity you don't have the guts. ”
"Hehe......" Looking at the cold iron sword, Dean had no choice but to laugh dryly, knowing that his arms and legs couldn't reach his thighs, so he secretly recited a sentence in his heart, "It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years", and then he opened the topic and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about something here, it's important to get down to business." ”
"Humph!" Tang Huan naturally could distinguish the priorities of the matter, and after snorting coldly, he put away the sword, "Follow me." As he spoke, he took the lead in taking a step, but as soon as he left, he immediately stopped, "By the way, I'm going to get medicine for Uncle Hei." ”
"Is he seriously ill?" After experiencing the last Lao Xie, Dean couldn't help but become sensitive to "illness".
"Alas! It's not a serious illness. Tang Huan shook his head, his willow eyebrows frowned slightly, "It's just that he watched my cousin grow up, and now that the white-haired person sends the black-haired person, how can the body bones be able to eat." When you ask him later, you have to be careful. ”
"Understood." Dean nodded, then turned to look at Sun Sandao, "Boy, I'll trouble you to run away." ”
Sun San answered, and after taking the prescription from Tang Huan's hand, he strode away.
"Actually, I've always been curious about why you can conclude that Uncle Hei is not demented even though you've only met Uncle Hei once?" As soon as Sun San left, Tang Huan asked Dean beside him as he walked.
"You're not right, it's not a judgment, it's a guess." For the strict Dean, as long as he is not 100% sure, then it will always be just a guess, "Although I have only met Uncle Hei once, I can see something worth playing in his eyes." ”
"Oh?" Tang Huan also learned Di'an's movements, and he didn't ask much, but raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Despair." Two words slowly spat out of Dian's mouth, and seeing that Tang Huan was still puzzled, he continued to explain, "His eyes are full of despair. Of course, you can say that he is living for Tang Mingfu, so as soon as Tang Mingfu died, he felt that there was nothing to think about in life. However, there are two points that make no sense when thinking about it this way.
One, to put it very unkindly, why didn't he commit suicide after hearing the bad news, after all, Tang Ming Mansion is a family and a family, and he doesn't need to worry about the future affairs of Tang Ming Mansion at all. Second, if Tang Mingfu's death can have such a big impact on him, then his relationship with Tang Mingfu will definitely not be worse than yours, but even you don't believe in Tang Mingfu's cause of death, so why would he accept it so calmly, you must know that it is tantamount to acquiescing that Tang Mingfu is indeed the person who deserves to be punished by heaven, and if so, isn't it contrary to what was said before? ”
"There's some truth to that." Tang Huan nodded in agreement, and then asked, "But if that's the case, how can you explain it?" ”
To understand this, we must first talk about a "coincidence". Dean analyzed methodically, "I remember the last time I visited, someone told me that on the day your cousin was killed, his study happened to run out of water. And the study is a place where confidential copywriting is stored, and the precautions are naturally strict, and it is really interesting to suddenly go to the water. ”
"What do you mean......" Tang Huan's reaction was not slow, and he understood what Dean meant in the blink of an eye, "My cousin's death is related to the destruction of the study?" ”
"It's just worth scrutinizing." Dean replied noncommittally, and then continued his train of thought, "Since it is not normal to suddenly walk in the water, then we can make an assumption based on this, and this matter is intentional. And if this is the case, if the possibility of the other party trying to confuse the public is not considered, then the only reasonable explanation is that there is something in the study that makes the arsonist jealous. ”
"Oh, I see." Tang Huan's footsteps paused, as happy as a little girl who had guessed the hearts of adults, "I remember that Uncle Hei's duty is to take care of Uncle Tang's study." Alas, no......" she said, as if thinking of something, her tone changed, "I didn't tell you, how do you know?" ”
"Huh! For me, to know the whole thing, I just need to find the slightest clue. Dean didn't explain, just smiled proudly, "The Tang Mansion has arrived, let's talk about it inside." ”
"Cut! The skin is really thick. Tang Huan pursed his lips, rolled his eyes, and then skillfully opened the wooden door.
"Please, great genius!" She gently pushed open the wooden door, and although she made a gesture in her hand, her mouth was full of ridicule.
In the face of Tang Huan's "praise", Dean did not blush, nodded without a heartbeat, and was about to raise his feet, but his body was suddenly stunned, and he felt a pair of eyes looking at him behind him. He tilted his head slightly, and quietly swept around, but he didn't even find a ghost.
Is it a delusion?!
No!
This is the second time I've felt this way.
Although he didn't find anything, he didn't stop long, and after a while, he took another step.
……
At the same time that Dean walked into the Tang Mansion, a man who was fishing with his eyes closed on the shore of Wukang's inexplicable lake also slowly opened his eyes.
"The fish is hooked." He looked at the unsettled waves of the lake, and muttered to himself without the slightest emotion.
