Chapter Eighty-Eight: A Familiar Breath
Lin Fan has been observing this church since the moment he entered the door, if the church is really selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, and engaging in some shady deeds behind his back, he can still see some clues.
But what he saw was the love school and love activity room in the church, which didn't look like a church at all, but a bit like a big charity. Only then did he understand why Pingshan Town was so supportive of the Holy Spring Sect.
"Good! But the ugly thing to say is that if it is really the responsibility of the Church, you as the current priest have to take responsibility. ”
"No problem!"
Shi Shan and Lin Fan have reached an agreement, but Hu Yongsheng has not yet come out, and his mood is still very low Looking at Shi Shan and saying: "Father Shi, you must keep the signboard of the church, the people of Pingshan Town need the church, and they can't do without the church." As for the walking corpses, we will definitely investigate and teach justice! ”
After some exchange and contact, Lin Fan felt that Shi Shan was fine, so he took out a piece of red stone from his pocket and put it in front of everyone.
Hu Yongsheng and Shi Shan suddenly widened their eyes and looked at this slightly cloudy red gem, their eyes full of incredulity.
This was the first time they had seen the redstone with their own eyes, after all, for them, this was something that only existed in legends, and they didn't know that this gem-like stone resurrected the dead into walking corpses, and how it made walking corpses become normal people, but even Lin Fan didn't know about these. However, after listening to the story told by Hu Yongsheng, he had a general conjecture.
Hu Yongsheng and they didn't know what happened in the church that night, only that eight people died that night and one person went crazy, and then the epidemic in the village was miraculously cured, and no one ever got it again, and after that, only the legend of Xu Fu resurrecting people and turning into walking corpses remained. So Lin Fan guessed that the problem must be with the eight people who died.
He had fought those walking corpses when he was in the woods before, and in essence, the only way to destroy the core was to turn them back into their original corpses. But in Hu Yongsheng's story, it seems that only the head was destroyed, and those walking corpses were incapacitated.
However, since the walking corpses had just appeared at that time, they should all be ordinary walking corpses, and it would be enough to destroy their heads, otherwise Xu Fu must have used some kind of cover-up method to destroy the core of those guys.
Here, Shi Shan couldn't help but stretch out his hand to touch the legendary red stone, Lin Fan immediately took two steps back and distanced himself from her, looking at the other party vigilantly.
Shi Shan knew that she had lost her temper and apologized: "I'm sorry, I don't know how. I'm not familiar with this thing, maybe my grandfather knows something. You might as well come home with me and ask him face to face. ”
Lin Fan nodded, it would be best if he could directly ask the person who experienced it at that time, Shi Shan's grandfather should have completely experienced the incident of the walking corpse in Pingshan Town back then.
Hu Yongsheng saw that Lin Fan agreed, so he naturally followed.
However, what Lin Fan didn't expect was that Shi Shan's home turned out to be at the back of the new church, an ordinary two-story small bungalow.
Shi Shan pushed open the door and shouted as usual, "Grandpa, I'm back!" ”
No one in the courtyard responded to her, so she led Lin Fan and Hu Yongsheng straight up to the second floor and into the first bedroom.
I saw a bald old man sitting in a rocking chair dozing off.
Shi Shan stepped forward and shook the old man's arm gently, and whispered, "Grandpa, I'm back." ”
The old man opened his eyes slightly and said, "Oh, Shanshan, how are you, how are those little cubs today?" ”
"It's very good, Mr. Wen taught them stories today."
The old man nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's good, that's good." You can't find me because something happened in the church, right? ”
Shi Shan was seen through by her grandfather at a glance, and was a little embarrassed to step aside, and only then did the old man see Lin Fan and Hu Yongsheng.
The old man squinted his eyes and looked at them: "Xiaohu, this is your friend...... Father?! ”
At that moment, the old man felt a very familiar feeling emanating from Lin Fan's body, just like his father back then, although this feeling had not been felt for decades, it was deeply engraved in his soul.
It can't be wrong, this is the special aura of the father he has been looking for!
The old man trembled and hurriedly picked up the reading glasses on his chest and put them on the bridge of his nose, only then did he see clearly that the "father" was actually a teenager who looked younger than Shi Shan? But there is no way to fake the smell of his body, because it is as strong as perfume.
The old man was so shocked that he was a little speechless for a while: "Who are you?" How could you ......"
If it weren't for the fact that Lin Fan didn't look like his father, he would almost have thought that his father who ran away from home had rejuvenated.
Lin Fan saw the old man's reaction as if he was expected, after all, such a big thing happened, how could the guy who was chosen by Xu Fu as his successor not know something?
He calmly took out the mottled red stone from his arms, and the moment the old man saw the red stone, his already wrinkled forehead was wrinkled like the skin of a Shar Pei dog at this time, and his blazing eyes continued to wander between Lin Fan and the red stone.
"It seems that the secret of the church has been discovered...... the old man finally sighed, and his expression seemed to be much more relaxed, as if he had let go of something on his mind.
Since the other party admitted it so readily, Lin Fan didn't say anything: "What is your relationship with Xu Fu?" What exactly are these redstones, and what are they for? ”
"I can answer the first question, but you're going to be disappointed in the second one."
"Xu Dada is the benefactor of my family, he saved the lives of my parents, but he also took my father away. As for the red stone, I have studied it all my life and I don't understand what it is, according to Xu Dada, as long as you put the holy grail there, wait for the water in the small pond to turn red, and drink the water to cure all diseases. ”
Hu Yongsheng's version naturally did not mention the story of Lao Shi's father and Xu Fu, so he told Lin Fan and the other two about his version of the story.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, he reluctantly went up the mountain to find his father, how he found Xu Fu to save his father, who was seriously injured like that, and how his mother asked Xu Fu for treatment when she got an epidemic.
Even Shi Shan knew these stories for the first time.
After the old man finished speaking, Lin Fan played with the red stone in his hand and asked, "Old man, there should be more than that, why don't you tell me why you mistook me for your father just now?" ”
The old man looked at Lin Fan in surprise, he didn't know how many times he had told this story, he saw that Lin Fan followed Hu Yongsheng, and Hu Yongsheng was submissive, so he guessed that Lin Fan was a member of the Dragon Group. He also knew that the people of the Dragon Group were very interested in what happened back then, so every time the Dragon Group came to investigate, he would tell this story of some hidden details. I didn't expect it to be debunked today.
