Early the next morning, Ling Feng and the four of them came to Ah Qiangye's residence under the guidance of a child. Ah Qiang Ye lives in an independent dilapidated wooden house on the mountainside, and the nearest villager's house is also four or five miles away, and the road is full of thorns along the way, which is very difficult to walk.

After the child led Ling Feng and the others to the place, he stretched out his white and tender little hands to look at Ling Feng.

Ling Feng was thinking about the problem, looking at the child's outstretched hand, he couldn't react for a while, but Jiao Daren took out a hundred-yuan bill before sending the child away.

"Today's children, they only recognize money." Jiao Daren sighed as he stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Yao Chen looked at Ling Feng's embarrassed appearance and covered his mouth and chuckled.

Wu Di walked at the end, looking indifferent and cold.

Ah Qiang Ye looks like a typical rural person, his face is full of knife-like wrinkles, and people can't tell their age for a while. Ah Qiang Ye saw that there were a few strangers knocking on the door, and he didn't care, and politely let Ling Feng and a few people into the house.

The cabin was dim, and there was a dead, musty smell. Behind the house is a mountain road that leads straight to the mountain, half of which is covered by a huge banyan tree, and under the banyan tree is a pigsty made of wood.

Ling Feng and the others followed Ah Qiang Ye to the front of the pig house.

Ah Qiang Ye didn't ask a few people what they wanted, squatted down and continued to cut pigweed.

A pig in the barn heard footsteps and snorted and chirped.

"This is an original mountain pig, and I don't know where the taste is better than the pig fed the feed." Jiao Daren looked at the pig that kept arching in the pig barn, and couldn't help but sigh.

The intention of Ling Feng and the others on this trip was naturally to ask about what they had heard in the village before, about the bandits.

"Ah Qiang, I heard from the old people in the village that your father was wrapped in the mountain by the long-haired wedge and never returned?" Ling Feng squatted down and asked. The gloom in the room was unspeakably uncomfortable, so he didn't bother to knock on the side.

Wu Di looked around the wooden house, stopping from time to time to pinch his fingers and calculate, silently not knowing what he was muttering. Jiao Daren followed him curiously.

Ah Qiang Ye continued to cut the pigweed, and just when Ling Feng thought he hadn't heard, Ah Qiang Ye raised his head and said, "Young man, don't listen to the nonsense of the people in the village. How can it be? ”

"Huh?" Ling Feng said in surprise, "You mean there is no such thing?" Haven't been here for bandits? ”

"Not really." Ah Qiang Ye smiled, "It's just that it wasn't my father who was coerced into the mountain, but my grandfather, and I also heard my grandfather say it when I was a child." I don't know if it's true or not. ”

Hearing Ah Qiang Ye say this, Ling Feng believed this rumor even more, after all, the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom Rebellion was nearly a century ago, and Ah Qiang Ye didn't look like a person who was more than a hundred years old.

"I heard that your grandfather is a well-known fisherman, and he can make hundreds of catties of fish a day." Ling Feng smiled and handed Ah Qiang a cigarette.

Ah Qiang Ye wiped his hands with the placket of his clothes, took the cigarette and lit it, and said with a smile: "My grandfather is a well-known fishing expert, but how can he catch hundreds of catties of fish in a day?" ”

At this time, Wu Di and Jiao Daren turned out from behind the banyan tree and sat on the wooden stake beside Ling Feng. Yao Chen glanced at the two of them strangely.

Ling Feng glanced at the two of them quietly, and continued to ask, "Ah Qiang, is your grandfather still a good hunter?" ”

Ah Qiang Ye replied: "My grandfather and grandfather have been fishing on the water all their lives to support their families, but I haven't heard that they can hunt?" ”

Ling Feng said strangely: "Since your grandfather is not a hunter, he should not be very familiar with this reckless mountain, how can he be coerced into the mountain as a guide?" ”

"This cigarette tastes so mellow, it's a good smoke." Ah Qiang Ye took a deep breath of the cigarette in his hand, and then spewled out from his mouth and nose, revealing a brief moment of comfort on his wrinkled face. After a pause, he said, "I don't know if my grandfather is a hunter, but I know that my grandfather is an authentic fisherman and doesn't know how to hunt at all." ”

Ling Feng saw that the cigarette in Ah Qiangye's hand was almost finished. Quickly handed over another one.

Ah Qiang Ye took the cigarette, directly inhaled the first cigarette to the filter in one breath, and then lit the second cigarette with a fire and took a beautiful puff.

"Uncle, you have had a rough life, did you have the death of your parents when you were young. And then raised by grandpa? ”

Wu Di suddenly spoke, his face was still calm, and people couldn't see the meaning of his words.

Ling Feng was stunned for a moment, revealing a thoughtful expression.

Yao Chen looked at Wu Di in surprise.

Ah Qiangye frowned and asked, "Yes, my mother died of dystocia when she gave birth to me, and my father died of illness when I was three years old." Who are you listening to about this, young man? ”

Wu Di didn't answer, and asked again: "Your grandfather died before you were an adult, you lost a son in middle age, your daughter-in-law also died, and you still have a granddaughter, but I'm afraid my body is also quite weak, right?" ”

Ah Qiangye opened his mouth, and the cigarette fell out of his mouth, and he was shocked: "How do you know this?" ”

Jiao Daren looked at Wu Di in surprise.

He has been following Wu Di, what he sees and hears is the same, he doesn't think that Wu Di will inquire about Ah Qiangye in the village in advance, and then come here to fool people.

Ling Feng thought about it for a while, and he already had a judgment in his heart.

There are some people in this world who can infer a person's life with a few clues, from the family environment, childhood growth to adulthood, and many opportunities to experience, you can roughly guess it, as for personality, preferences, etc., naturally it is not a problem. Wu Di is good at feng shui metaphysics, and he is also quite proficient in the art of physiognomy, so it is naturally not difficult to speculate on a person's life and past from the details.

But Ah Qiang didn't know this, he was extremely shocked for a while, and muttered in his mouth: "Master, master, please give me some advice." Xiao Lao'er is already a person who has half a foot in the coffin, and it doesn't matter if it's good or bad, it's just that my granddaughter has been weak and sick since she was a child, you must save her. As he spoke, Ah Qiang Ye was about to fall to his knees.

Wu Di held Ah Qiang Ye and said lightly: "The locust tree behind the house, cut it down!" After speaking, he didn't explain more, and sat down indifferently.

Ah Qiang Ye agreed repeatedly.

After this episode, Ah Qiang Ye became much more enthusiastic, and told him in detail about the process of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Righteous Army coming to the mountain village.

"That night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and a group of five people suddenly broke into my grandfather's house, and there was not a single sound in the village, it was dead and silent, and it was all night around, and the barking of dogs everywhere could not be heard......"

That night, it seemed that something happened in this small mountain village that could not be explained by common sense, but not many people knew about it. (To be continued.) )
