Chapter 232: The Four Gates (18)
Twenty years ago?
Captain Peng and his father had ever been to this village?
That's not right!
Along the way, Captain Peng didn't mention it!
Is it a mistake by the gambler Sue?
Besides, Captain Peng 20 years ago was five or six years old, how did the gambler Su conclude that the kid was the current Captain Peng?
As soon as I thought of this, I asked the doubts in my heart.
He didn't hide it from me, so he said, "Xiao Chuanzi, didn't you notice a black mole on Captain Peng's neck?" The child also had a black mole on his neck back then, and the child's father happened to be called Captain Peng, so today, when I heard the villagers say that Captain Peng was coming, I went to take a look, and the Captain Peng in your mouth was definitely the child back then. ”
I frowned and said in a deep voice, "What happened in this village back then?" ”
He raised his eyes and looked at me, then at Su Xiaoman and the others on the side, and said softly: "Niu'er, you and your mother go to the room to rest first, I have something to tell Xiaochuanzi." ”
After that, he seemed to remember something, and added, "Forget it, let's go out and talk." ”
After speaking, he slowly got up and walked towards the door.
I immediately got up and was about to go out, when Su Xiaoman grabbed me and said timidly, "Senior brother, I... My dad is moody, and if anything offends you, I want you to see me.... ”
Before she finished speaking, I stopped and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm measured, but it's you, catch up with your mother, maybe we will have to go back to Hengyang the day after tomorrow." ”
As I spoke, I looked at her, then at her mother, and saw that her mother was smiling at me.
I smiled back, didn't say anything, and walked outside.
Soon, I went out of the door, the light outside was very dim, I couldn't see my fingers, and with a cool breeze, I subconsciously shrunk my neck, and the gambler Su stood at the door and smoked vigorously.
I asked tentatively, "Uncle Su, why don't you find a warmer place and stand there to freeze people." ”
He turned his head to glance at me, and said lightly, "I'll take you to the village chief's house." ”
The village chief's house?
Aren't Captain Peng and Cheng San at the village chief's house?
At that moment, I was about to speak, when I found that the gambler Su walked forward, and I immediately followed.
To my disappointment, the place where he led me was not the house of the village chief of Quan Songbai.
At this time, I couldn't hold back any longer, so I asked, "Which village chief's house are we going to?" ”
He walked forward and said, "The old village chief's house, what happened in our village back then was at the old village chief's house. ”
I let out a sigh and didn't ask any questions, but followed him forward.
After about three or four minutes of walking, the two of us stopped in front of a house, the door was hidden, and a glimmer of light came out of it, and a familiar voice could be faintly heard coming from inside the room.
"Old village chief, in your opinion, how should this matter be?"
It was Captain Peng's voice.
I looked happy, and I didn't care about the gambler Su on the side, so I hurriedly pushed open the door and walked in.
As soon as I entered the door, the gambler Su also came in.
"Dongchuan, why did you get here?" Captain Peng asked me.
When I looked up, I found Captain Peng and Cheng San sitting on a wooden rattan chair, while Village Chief Quan Songbai was standing aside, with a table of eight immortals in the middle with some fruits on it, and an old man in his seventies sitting at the top of the table of eight immortals.
The old man was dressed in plain clothes, with silver hair and a cane beside him.
To my surprise, the old man's crutch was actually a high-quality golden silk nanmu, and at the top of the crutch, a dragon head was carved, and the dragon head was carved vividly, and it was from the master's hand.
It's strange to see that this old man's house is very simple, a typical country house, but the crutch in his hand is worth a lot of money.
Just as I was stunned, the old man seemed to notice me staring at his crutches, smiled at me, and said, "What? Little brother knows this thing? ”
With that, he looked at the blame.
I smiled bitterly and hurriedly said, "I know a little bit about it." ”
"Dongchuan, come and sit here." Captain Peng beckoned to me, and I immediately walked over and sat down next to Captain Peng, while Su, the gambler, walked towards the old man.
When he came to the old man's side, the gambler Su bent down slightly and muttered a few words in the old man's ear.
Because he spoke in a very small voice, I couldn't hear what he said at all, but I knew that as soon as he finished speaking, the old man looked at me with a smile and said with a smile: "Little brother, it's good to be humble, don't underestimate anyone in this world, even if you have a disability, do you dare to guarantee that he doesn't have one or two more powerful friends?" You can be sure that he doesn't have one or two good friends. ”
As soon as I heard this, I immediately understood what he meant, and that he was alluding to the lame man.
This made me depressed, so I had to bow my head slightly and say, "You're right. ”
The old man smiled, stopped, glanced at all of us with a pair of deep eyes, and said with a smile: "The old man has already understood your intentions, and he doesn't want to go into details, or the previous sentence, this is the matter of our brisket village, and our brisket village can solve it by ourselves, and I hope you don't interfere." ”
"Old village chief, twenty years ago, my father died in this village for no apparent reason, you always asked the kid to wait for twenty years to come back, and now that twenty years have passed, do you always plan to let me return empty-handed?" Captain Peng hugged the old man's hand.
The old man smiled, stopped at Quan Songbai, motioned for Quan Songbai to leave, and beckoned to the gambler Su, and said lightly: "Help me to the room." ”
"Old village chief, you..." Captain Peng immediately got up, a little anxious, and was about to speak, when he saw the old village chief looking at Captain Peng, and said lightly: "What?" Don't believe the old man? ”
"I..." Captain Peng didn't speak, but Quan Songbai said on the side, "Captain Peng, since the old village chief asked you to come over twenty years later, he naturally has his reasons." ”
After speaking, the whole pine and cypress said a few words of greeting, and walked towards the door.
After Quan Songbai left, I, Captain Peng, and Cheng San sat on the edge of the Eight Immortals table, and no one spoke, while the old village chief and the gambler Su entered the side room next to them.
"Captain Peng, do you know the person who came in with me just now?" I asked Captain Peng.
He didn't seem to be in the mood, and replied lightly, "I don't know, what's the matter?" Does he know me? ”
"He seems to know your father." I whispered back.
Captain Peng's reaction was very strange, just a word, and then there was no follow-up, but Cheng San stared at Captain Peng deadly, and said in surprise: "Captain Peng, is this fox incident related to what happened twenty years ago?" ”
As soon as I heard this, I also looked at Captain Peng, and my intuition told me that Captain Peng's coming here was by no means as simple as it seemed.
Seeing the two of us staring at him, Captain Napeng sighed, "To be precise, what is happening now is a repetition of the mistakes of twenty years ago, and it can even be said that everything we are encountering so far has already happened to me twenty years ago. ”
As soon as these words came out, Cheng San and I glanced at each other, and we both saw a trace of incredulity in each other's eyes, especially Captain Peng's sentence, everything he has encountered so far has been encountered by him as early as twenty years ago.
What's going on?
Could it be that there is something hidden in this matter that I don't know?
