Chapter Ninety-Six: The Lama
In November, I didn't dare to make any guarantees, and anyway, I couldn't complete the things I promised, so I could only try my best. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.infoγγγγγ
I have to say it again, the weather has been so fucking cold lately, winter is coming (chatting) winter is coming (chatting)γγγγγγ
Although I had expected the bad old man to say this, I was still stunned for a moment when I actually heard the words coming out of his mouth.
Why look for me? Don't you know that my fight is equal to being crippled?
I remembered in a trance, I am now the head of the He family's shop, and it is reasonable for me to go down to the fight, although our old He family looks like a fiasco now, but its status on the road is still very important.
Now that I'm in this position, I'm sure I'll have more time to deal with bad old men in the future, and I can't do everything as casually as I used to.
After observing my expression, the bad old man turned to say, "The last time you went to fight, you must have already obtained the Zhanlu Ancient Sword." I'm really old now, old man, and I'm not as good as you young people. β
I said vaguely: "Where is it, although you are old, Mr. Li, you are still in style." β
"Little Master He is now more and more like your second uncle, and those who don't know think that it is the second child of the He family who is sitting here talking to me today." I never knew how to answer such a positive or negative remark, so I quietly waited for the bad old man's next words.
The bad old man suddenly moved forward a little closer, looked straight at me and asked, "Little Master He, in addition to the matter of fighting today, there is actually another thing I want to ask you, but I don't know if you are willing to say it." β
I stepped back a little and said, "If you have something to say, please speak up." "Although I had prepared in my heart before, I could still feel a huge pressure coming over the bad old man all of a sudden.
"I don't know what the injury of this big master Wu is? Is it getting better now? β
"Ah, Wu Ming...... Belch...... The injury is quite serious, I don't think it will get better for a while, after all, it is a knife wound in a key part, and it is really hard to say that it will be three or five months, but the situation in his hand at that time is too urgent, and I have not paid much attention to him when I care about my own life, and I really don't know the specific details. β
I went to it, and I almost subconsciously poked out Wu Ming's "pretending to be dead", fortunately, I reacted quickly, otherwise Wu Ming and the little brother in black would have to peel off my skin. Things are up to now, I have some understanding of why Wu Ming did this at that time, the three fat men said that Wu Ming's approach was to protect the Zhan Lu Ancient Sword in our hands with minimal damage, and it was not without basis.
And according to what the bad old man said to me, he should have believed the fact that his subordinates saw "Wu Ming lying on the ground with blood on his face", and he would not ask such a thing if he didn't recognize him.
In this way, Wu Ming became an unknown number where they were. In other words, that is, the Zhanlu Ancient Sword is an unknown number, and I dare to conclude that the next sentence of the bad old man must be related to the Ancient Sword.
Sure enough, he then asked, "Then I don't know where this Zhanlu Ancient Sword is now?" β
I had a hard time with him, so I said very firmly: "Where is the Zhanlu Ancient Sword in Wu Da now." β
This is the correct answer, but it is also the most ambiguous. I and the three fat men are the parties, and after experiencing that incident, I really know that now the Zhan Lu Ancient Sword is in Wu Ming's hand, and in the eyes of the bad old man, yes and no, just in his thoughts.
Now in their consciousness, they only know that Wu Ming is injured, and they don't know if Wu Ming has the ability to keep the Zhanlu Ancient Sword after being injured. When I asked, I gave a very positive answer, but in his opinion, the more he blurted out the answer, the more unreal it was, and he could have imagined that I had thought it first, not from his own mental reaction.
When I heard such an answer, everyone was still puzzled, and the bad old man looked at me many times, but he could not see the reason. I am extremely glad that the Zhanlu Ancient Sword is really in Wu Ming's hands now, if I forget to take the ancient sword to Wu Ming when I go down the mountain, then the current situation will be earth-shaking again.
The bad old man couldn't see what to ask, so he changed the conversation again, and he asked, "Little Master He, is your second uncle okay?" Since the Song Sleeve Tomb parted, we have not met again, although there is a conflict of interests between us, but it is not to the state of old and dead do not get along, and those who should come and go still have to come and go. β
Listening to him talk like this, my heart tightened, in the ancient tomb of Song Sleeve, it was clear that he first pulled out a pistol and pointed it at our group, but now he is saying such hypocritical words here, people often say that people want to face trees and bark, I look at the bad old man not only shameless, even the fresh and beating things in the skin have long been lost by him.
I secretly suppressed the anger in my heart, and said calmly: "My second uncle has been lazy since he was a child, and he doesn't want to take care of housework for a long time, but he can't help it. No, as soon as my third uncle died, he had hope, and he had to be alone for a few days, and I hadn't seen him for a few days, if Mr. Li met my second uncle in that small mountain village that day, I hope you tell him to go home and have a look. Now the person in charge of this old He family's shop is me, if there is anything on the road, even if he comes to me, in this family, I still talk and do counting. β
"Oh, is it? I thought I would be able to meet the second child of the He family this time. β
"Of course. I think my second uncle will be back soon, and this rule and etiquette always have to be passed. β
The bad old man laughed this time, a real smile. The tea that he had been playing with was also lifted up by him and took two sips, and he said again: "Since the words are all spoken, then I will go straight to the point." Talking to a young man like Xiao He Ye is refreshing, time-consuming and effortless. β
I smiled and didn't answer.
In my opinion, the main thing about the bad old man's visit this time is not a matter of fighting, but the whereabouts of my second uncle and Wu Ming's current situation.
However, it is also possible that he knows where my second uncle is now, and he deliberately asked just to test me. I didn't have long been in the He family's shop, and it was impossible to completely control the entire He family's shop, not to mention that I was still young, and the seat was suddenly obtained.
As for Wu Ming, I think the bad old man is a little jealous of him, otherwise he would not have emphasized it like this, after all, Wu Ming is in the land of Xiangxi, and it is mysterious Everyone has only heard of the Wu family in Xiangxi, but no one has been able to understand how powerful the Wu family in Xiangxi is.
I heard people on the Tao say that in the past few years, the legend of the Wu family in Xiangxi was even worse, and it was always a mysterious appearance, and then Wu Ming and the little brother in black gradually became active in front of outsiders, maybe they deliberately suppressed some things, and there were fewer rumors, but as long as the Wu family in Xiangxi was mentioned on the road, people were still very afraid.
But it's also true, as long as you have seen the sets of magic skills of Wu Ming and the little brother in black, there is no reason not to believe that they are not masters. I've seen a lot, and I'm a little immune, unlike outsiders, every time I see it, it's a sign of fear.
The bad old man stopped again, weighed for a while, and then asked, "Do you know about the organization of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce?" "I'm very surprised, why did he mention the Japanese Chamber of Commerce organization to me at this juncture, is it just because of a Zhanlu ancient sword that they can't sit still? Want to come forward?
I glanced at the bad old man a few times and nodded, my second uncle, third uncle and third fat man Wu Ming have mentioned this matter to me, I have no reason to pretend not to know, not to mention that the blind man Chen in the ancient tomb of Song Sleeve also told us, since they both belong to the people in that organization, it is impossible for the bad old man not to know about this matter.
He paused and said: "It is said that it is a Japanese Chamber of Commerce, but in fact it is just a gimmick on the surface, but in fact it is just a gang of tomb robbers led by the Japanese, who do all kinds of evil in China, and show off blindly with the things stolen from the ancient tombs. β
I couldn't hold back for a moment, so I asked, "Aren't you one of those people?" After saying that, I felt that my tone was a little harder, and I changed my words: "But don't you belong to this organization?" β
At that time, I actually saw a trace of helplessness in his eyes, although it was only a momentary thing, but I still saw it. This is when he suddenly coughed violently twice, I pushed the tea closer to him, and he took two sips and said: "I also have some reasons that are not in line with words, and some things are not as good as you want in the Tao. Young people, this world is very helpless, and many times the reality is like this, forcing you to make some helpless and counterproductive choices.
I've heard something like this twice, once from the mouth of a bad old man now, and once from the mouth of the three fat men a few days ago, and the tone is exactly the same, but my state of mind is really different.
If it had been a few years ago, I would have laughed three times when I heard such a remark, and then retorted with some big words, "My fate is not up to me". But now I have to believe that many choices are not really what you think, and you can do whatever you want.
Once you stand high, your vision will widen up, and you will care about different things.
After saying that, the old man stood up, walked a few steps in place, and then said, "I will clip the lama once in a few days, if you are interested, you can come and take a look, and I will inform you of the location at that time." By the way, we plan to find the second ancient sword in this fight, and the ancient tomb is related to Jia Nanfeng. β
After finishing speaking, he walked out of Beichen Xuan, and I was still standing in place and didn't even have time to send him out.
Ah, what kind of hospitality is this. (To be continued.) )
