Chapter 61: Zhu Ruhu
"Dangdangdang" Zhang Mingchuan's courtyard remembered the long-lost knock on the door.
Since Zhang Mingchuan's grandfather died, Zhang Mingchuan has been living in a simple house, and later the ancestral takeaway restaurant was not well managed and closed, he became more low-key, and then began to enter the desolate world, and he has never exposed himself cautiously.
It wasn't until the Open Challenge that many people knew about Zhang Mingchuan's past, and Zhang Mingchuan, who had expected it, did not want this quiet courtyard to be disturbed, so after the Open Challenge, he publicly stated that he now lives in the Shanhai Food Garden and follows the master to learn cooking all day, so he has such an achievement.
Although there are still people who don't give up and have been staring at Zhang Mingchuan's courtyard, but with Zhang Mingchuan's current superhuman cultivation, it is easy to completely avoid these eyeliners, he believes that as long as a period of time, these people will get nothing, and they will slowly evacuate.
Who would have thought that someone would knock on the door of Zhang Mingchuan's courtyard in the middle of the night today.
Zhang Mingchuan held his breath, not knowing whether the person who knocked on the door so openly was friend or foe, and slowly lurked down, wanting to wait and see what happened.
After waiting for a while, there was no more knocking at the door, and the three sounds just now were like a drunk passer-by who had reacted after knocking on the wrong door.
"It turns out that you are Zhang Yan's grandson." An old voice suddenly sounded in the dark night, and I saw an old man in a Mao suit appear in Zhang Mingchuan's inner courtyard out of thin air.
Zhang Mingchuan couldn't believe that there were people in the current world who could appear in front of him so quietly, and facing the old man in front of him at this time reminded him of the sense of oppression of the middle-aged man when he was in the mountains.
Seeing Zhang Mingchuan's nervousness, the old man slowly took off his hat, revealing a face that Zhang Mingchuan had seen before.
"It's you! The tongue of the gods of Qinzhou, I wish Master Ruhu! Zhang Mingchuan remembered that the last time he saw Zhu Ruhu in the Open Challenge, he didn't notice his abnormality, even if he ate the magic of Saidao Zhenya's aura kitchenware, but he couldn't eat the extraordinaryness of his kitchen god space knife, so he didn't take this so-called master to heart, but he didn't expect the two to meet again, it was in this situation.
"Looks like you're shocked? To be honest, when I saw you just now, I was also shocked, I didn't expect you to be the grandson of Brother Zhang Yan. Zhu Ruhu mentioned Zhang Mingchuan's grandfather, and his eyes were full of reminiscence.
"Just now at the door, I sensed that there were people in Brother Zhang Yan's courtyard, but when I saw that no one responded, I came in to take a look, of course, I also sensed that there were people around watching this courtyard, but you don't have to worry, the knock I just made used special means and couldn't be heard anywhere else." Zhu Ruhu's understatement made Zhang Mingchuan feel even more that the old man in front of him was unfathomable, and his current self was definitely not an opponent.
"Look at you, do you know my grandfather? I don't know what you're here for. Zhang Mingchuan was also curious about how his grandfather intersected with a character like the Tongue of the Qinzhou God.
"Speaking of which, I am friends with your grandfather in life and death, and I blame me, your grandfather was secretly injured in order to save me, otherwise he would not have gone so early." Zhu Ruhu said sadly.
Zhu Ruhu rolled up his sleeves after saying that, and a thick arm that did not match his age was exposed, and there was a terrifying scar of arm length on his arm.
"It was Brother Zhang who protected me in front of me back then, although I stretched out my arm again to block Brother Zhang's front, but I still couldn't completely stop the enemy's terrifying attack, and in the end, Brother Zhang used his body to carry the attack that was supposed to kill me for me." When Zhu Ruhu said that she was emotional, her old eyes couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Because of the special bloodline of my Zhu family, it attracted a lot of malice, when I was young, my Zhu family was wiped out, only I escaped by luck, fortunately I was rescued by Brother Zhang Yan, so I could live, and then I left Qinzhou in order not to involve Brother Zhang Yan, and also to find the murderer behind the scenes, so I left Qinzhou and traveled far away." Zhu Ruhu told the reason for the relationship between the two.
Zhang Mingchuan thought that his grandfather was indeed a warm-hearted and enthusiastic person, and he believed Zhu Ruhu's words even more.
"Then what is the matter with Grandpa Zhu coming here today?" Zhang Mingchuan asked.
"Although I have not returned to Qinzhou over the years, I also know that Brother Zhang Yan lost his son in middle age, and unfortunately passed away a few years ago, and he has never come. Zhu Ruhu said what he meant, and then said: "But I didn't expect Brother Zhang Yan's grandson to be so outstanding, I think Brother Zhang Yan's spirit in the sky must be very pleased." ”
"I wish grandpa, when grandpa left, there was not too much pain." Zhang Mingchuan said.
"That's good, that's good, can you take me to meet Brother Zhang Yan, I want to give him a pillar of incense." Zhu Ruhu asked.
Zhang Mingchuan nodded in agreement after hearing this, and took Zhu Ruhu to the ear room, and there was a photo of Zhang Mingchuan's grandfather before he left on the wall.
After Zhu Ruhu saw the photo of Zhang Mingchuan's grandfather, he knelt directly on the hard stone floor tiles with a "poof", and tears instantly turned red.
"Big brother, it's all the little brother who is not good, you didn't come back to see you for the last time when you left, it's my fault!" Zhu Ruhu has been crying for a long time on her knees, not caring at all about the dust on the ground staining her clothes and face.
The crying gradually stopped, Zhu Ruhu put away her emotions, and planned to put a stick of incense on her brother Zhang Yan, but suddenly thought of Zhang Mingchuan, who had been standing by his side, only to see him wave his sleeves, and a burst of black fog spread his sleeves, blending into the night, enveloping the entire ear room.
"Don't worry, this is just a trick, I'm afraid that the candlelight will cause you unnecessary trouble, so I used such a method." Zhu Ruhu looked at Zhang Mingchuan, who was frowning beside him, and said.
Zhang Mingchuan didn't expect Zhu Ruhu to be so careful, he could think so carefully at this moment, and he could use his means without scruples in front of him, and his frowning brows also stretched.
"Over the years, I have walked a tightrope between life and death every day, and I am used to being cautious." Zhu Ruhu's black and white hair made Zhang Mingchuan feel that the old man in front of him who was shrouded in aura was not as relaxed as he imagined.
"After all these years, have you tracked down the murderer who killed you back then?" Zhang Mingchuan looked at the old man who looked like an ordinary grandfather in front of him and asked.
"There are some clues, but this matter is very involved, and the more I investigate, the more frightened I become." Zhu Ruhu paused for a moment, and then said: "Child, in fact, I didn't want to involve you in this matter, but I have no children and no daughters in my life, and I have been adrift all my life, and there are some things I want to give to you to keep for me." ”
"Zhu Grandpa, what are you talking about, not to mention that the person behind the scenes caused your family to be ruined, and at the same time, he is also the murderer who indirectly killed my grandfather, how can I ignore it." Zhang Mingchuan said solemnly.
"You're just as good a warm-hearted person as your grandfather." Zhu Ruhu said with emotion.
"This thing is the secret of my Zhujia's tongue of God, and it is also the thing that the people behind the scenes wanted, and now I will hand over this object to you, whether this thing is given to someone who is destined after you grasp it or buried and destroyed on the spot, I will support you." Zhu Ruhu took out a bag directly from his arms, opened the bag, and there was a piece of leather that looked old.
Zhu Ruhu looked at the leather in his hand in a daze for a moment, then put it back into the bag and handed it to Zhang Mingchuan with the bag.
"The next thing is some clues about the people behind the scenes that I have found over the years, and I don't want you to follow the clues to continue to investigate, but I just hope that when you encounter danger in the future, you can use this to find a backer to keep you safe." After Zhu Ruhu finished speaking, he took out a boxy wooden box from his arms and handed it to Zhang Mingchuan.
"When you're in real danger, just open the box and you'll know where to take refuge, but I don't want you to get involved too soon right now." Zhu Ruhu repeatedly explained that the box in front of him was like a Pandora's box, and advised Zhang Mingchuan not to open it easily.
"The last bearer bank card, the password is 123456, which contains part of my savings over the years, a total of more than 10 million points, I hope you can treat yourself well, enjoy life, and when you get married and have children in the future, I wish your grandfather a red envelope for you." Zhu Ruhu took out the last thing.
"I wish you ...... grandfather" Zhang Mingchuan looked at the three objects in his hand, which can be said to contain Zhu Ruhu's life, and the strong love made Zhang Mingchuan, who has always been cautious, also very moved.
"By the way, I have one more thing to remind you before leaving." Zhu Ruhu, who was about to leave, suddenly thought of something and said to Zhang Mingchuan.
