Xia Laohan's words before shocked Liu Wengen into a cold sweat.
And at this moment, what is the effect of Zhong Kui's words?
As soon as Zhong Kui's words fell, Xia Laohan's pair of eyes suddenly became cross-eyed, and he stared at it so straight and fixedly, and he stared at it as he spoke.
Xia Laohan's eyes were so small, so small that they were sunken into the wrinkled eye sockets. The eyes are small, but they have the penetrating power to penetrate your inner world.
A pair of small eyes, staring at a pair of leopard eyes. A pair full of doubts, a pair full of justice, perseverance, and knowledge.
Liu Wengen, who was watching from the sidelines, broke out in a cold sweat again.
Xia Laohan's small eyes were finally defeated, he picked up a pickle, chewed and made a 'squeak-squeak' gum grinding sound of the pickle. There was an inquisitive glimmer in his small eyes, staring directly at Zhong Kui, and asked coldly, "Are you really from Menling Village?" ”
Zhong Kui's face did not change color, his heart did not beat, and he said in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant: "Yes"
Xia Laohan was a little relentless, and continued to ask, "How did you survive?" ”
"I survived in the tomb." This question and answer did not care about Liu Wengen around him at all, as if he was a transparent person.
"My daughter died a miserable death, his uncompetitive man, happy enough to die, but he shouldn't have taken my only daughter away." Old Xia Han's sad tone was the first time he had said so much.
Zhong Kui faintly felt at first glance who Xia Laohan's daughter-in-law's family was. If you don't guess wrong, it should be Wang Ermao. At the same time, he felt that from Xia Laohan, there seemed to be something that could not be seen or touched. This thing is not a smell, nor a shadow, but an eerie smell.
This kind of breath is not better than a ghost, does it have anything to do with Xia Laohan carrying water in the middle of the night?
Zhong Kui retracted his reverie and asked in a deep voice, "Your daughter's husband is Wang Ermao?" His gaze lingered on the old man's wrinkled face, scanning back and forth to gauge all the changes in his expression when he heard this, to make sure that he was right.
Xia Laohan did not refute Zhong Kui's words, and his old face suddenly turned into a bitter gourd face.
Xia Laohan tried hard to widen his little eyes, looked at Zhong Kui and asked, "Child, how do you know so clearly?" ”
"Old-timers, to tell you the truth, the water in the tank was actually picked up by yourself in the middle of the night, and it has nothing to do with your daughter." Zhong Kui said the matter word by word when Liu Wengen opened his mouth wide and his face showed an extremely frightened expression.
"You fool me! I know how many catties and taels of old bones I know, that is, a person who is half buried in the loess, how can he get up in the middle of the night to carry water? Xia Laohan retorted vigorously.
Zhong Kui was anxious to find out the facts about what happened in Menling Village from Xia Laohan's mouth, and he took a dismissive attitude towards the old man's arguments. After a while, he said, "Senior, can you tell me what happened to Menling Village later?" Are there any survivors? ”
As soon as Zhong Kui's words came out, Liu Wengen, who was originally startled on the side, was also interested, and put aside all kinds of fearful conjectures. I tried my best to lean over the ear chakra to listen, and Xia Laohan replied next.
As soon as Zhong Kui's words came out, Xia Laohan immediately got up, took out the cigarette pot from the bottom of the dining table when he got up, coughed casually and calmly walked out of the door under the surprised gaze of the two.
"Hey! What is this? You're asking him! Liu Wengen called Qu for Zhong Kui.
Zhong Kui looked coldly at the figure of Xia Laohan walking out, and thought actively: Xia Laohan is avoiding this question, and he seems to be afraid of something.
Zhong Kui followed and walked out, and at a glance he saw that Xia Laohan was talking to the Minister of Armed Forces and the other three.
Seeing this scene, Zhong Kui was suspicious; Could it be that Xia Laohan saw someone coming, so he didn't reply to the question just now?
The Minister of Armed Forces took the three of them to greet Liu Wengen and informed them of their intentions by the way. It turned out that when he came last night, he saw that Liu Wengen's face was not good-looking. In addition, I heard him say that Zhong Kui didn't know where he went all night, and neither of them had found the entrance to Menling Village. Only then did he rearrange personnel to accompany Zhong Kui to Menling Village, so someone would replace Liu Wengen's work, of course he couldn't ask for it.
But Liu Wengen was still a little hesitant to leave Xia Laohan's house and Zhong Kui with the Minister of Armed Forces. Because when he came to the county seat, the captain repeatedly told him that he must wait by Zhong Kui's side every step of the way, and nothing can go wrong.
The Minister of Armed Forces seemed to see Liu Wengen's inner activities, and he laughed loudly: "Okay, Brother Liu, you! Don't be pushy. We don't know your physical fitness, so you can rest with peace of mind and let these three activists take Zhong Kui, the child, to Menling Village. When that's done, I'll have to find a home for the boy and settle him down. ”
Look, this Minister of Armed Forces is thoughtful, very kind in dealing with people, and considers others everywhere, and deserves to be a good cadre of the people.
The words of the Minister of Armed Forces made Liu Wengen completely eliminate the concerns in his heart. He looked at Zhong Kui with questioning eyes, and Zhong Kui agreed that he should go to rest.
Minister of Armed Forces and Liu Wengen left Zhong Kui and left Xia Laohan's house.
Zhong Kui looked at the three new male activists, and how the Minister of Armed Forces boasted just now simply praised the three of them to the sky. It doesn't matter how the three of them are. As long as he can solve the mystery of Kailing Village, it will be better than anything else.
The age of the three activists is several years older than Zhong Kui, and they are really responsible for doing things, even if Zhong Kui goes to Maokeng, one of the three of them will accompany him.
I don't know what's going on, Zhong Kui suddenly has a feeling of being watched. The three men visually indicated that they were not here to help him, but rather to monitor his every move.
Since these three people came, Xia Laohan's words have become less and less, and even the cough has been cured all of a sudden.
Zhong Kui felt that Xia Laohan's cough was hinting at something, and thinking about it just a few minutes ago, when he asked about the incident in Banling Village. Xia Laohan got up and picked up the cigarette pot, coughed twice with his hands behind his back, and walked straight out of the door. After going out, I met the Minister of Armed Forces and brought someone here, this can't be a coincidence!
After Zhong Kui found out about this problem, he paid attention to Xia Laohan's demeanor and the expression on his face.
I didn't think I was paying attention to this, but as soon as I paid attention, Zhong Kui really found that Xia Laohan had a problem. He always likes to look at people from the corner of his eyes, intentionally or unintentionally, and when you look at him, the old man immediately straightens his eyes and makes a look like he is nothing.
Just after the three of them came to Xia Laohan's house, the relationship between the four people underwent subtle changes. The three of them came to spy on him, and Xia Laohan was deliberately pretending to be reckless.
Zhong Kui felt that Xia Laohan was hinting at him, but he was deliberately covering up something. I can't figure it out for a while, and I don't want to delay this problem that I can't figure out.
In the afternoon, Zhong Kui and three activists set off.
Because of the path that was opened up before, the four of them acted a lot more quickly.
