Chapter 156: Chen Mingxuan
I said that since you say so, I will choose to believe you once, but I will not do such a dangerous thing.
Xiao Yuntian patted me on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, there's no risk, just leave it to me." ”
I nodded, turned and went to sleep.
The next day, Xiao Yuntian and I began to track down the person surnamed Chen.
I first found Li Yongzhong, after all, he is now the village head, and he knows best how many people in the village have the surname Chen.
After Li Yongzhong's guidance, we found out that there are now about seven families surnamed Chen in the village.
However, there are three families who are not in the village and work outside all year round.
Two of the other three families are not suspicious, there are no qualified candidates, and one is still a descendant of Chen Tianci, but it is very miserable.
It's an old widower.
He has no children and no daughters all his life, and at the same time he is deaf and blind, if such a person is a human being, then I can only say that his camouflage skills are too clever.
It is estimated that his becoming like this is also related to the sins of his father.
Tian Zhizhong and they are not bad, although they have lived a miserable life for half a lifetime, but they are still successful in their descendants.
Now there's only one left.
The family's surname Chen is called Chen Mingxuan, and his home happens to be at the foot of the Goddess Mountain, backed by the mountain.
In the past, the economy of the village was not developed, and the villagers would pass by his door when they went into the mountains to cut firewood, hunt and dig medicine.
I haven't seen him move away for so many years, and because this man's wife died early and he has no children and daughters, the cadres in the town also applied for a subsistence allowance for him.
I barely knew this man, and if it weren't for this, I probably wouldn't have come to his house for the rest of my life.
Although I have been to the Goddess Mountain several times, but every time I pass by, the door of his house is closed, and there is a teapot on the stone ridge next to his house all the year round, Li Yongzhong said that Chen Mingxuan is kind-hearted, put a pot of water here for people to drink.
Speaking of this person, Li Yongzhong was full of praise, saying that this person was hardworking and simple, self-sufficient, and never made trouble for the village, but his personality was relatively withdrawn and unsociable.
Li Yongzhong led us and quickly rushed to Chen Mingxuan's house.
The walls on both sides of the three cement houses have been beaten by the wind and rain all the year round because there is nothing to cover them, leaving traces of time mottled by the years, and the front and back of the house are overgrown with weeds.
It doesn't look like someone lives in it at all, it looks like a deserted house.
Li Yongzhong stepped on the barren grass, knocked on the wooden door, and said, "Uncle Mingxuan, are you at home?" ”
There were a few knocks, but no one answered.
"Maybe I'm going to work on the side." Li Yongzhong muttered to himself.
Li Yongzhong said that Chen Mingxuan's field was not good, not to mention that the field was full of stones, and the location was remote, it was still a half-slope, and no one wanted this piece of land at the beginning.
But Chen Mingxuan rushed to ask for it.
The villagers then gave him the title of a good old man.
Li Yongzhong led us to the side hill again.
From a distance, Xiao Yuntian and I saw a man wearing a straw hat bending over to work.
In this weather, people can be roasted in the morning, and Chen Mingxuan actually works under such a poisonous sun.
I really admire.
The three of us walked along the path, and I was sweating from exhaustion.
Li Yongzhong walked quickly to Chen Mingxuan, whispered a few words, and then pointed at us.
Chen Mingxuan looked up at us.
Not far away, I also saw Chen Mingxuan.
This person is full of silver hair, not short, about 1.7 meters, which is indeed tall in the countryside.
He was about sixty or seventy years old, thin, and his face was full of wrinkles, but his left eye was closed and he had a shocking scar on his brow.
I feel that if this scar is used a little harder, it will probably cut off half of his head.
He also had a white beard on his chin.
Just looking at his appearance, Chen Mingxuan does not fit the characteristics of the masked man.
But since it is the last one, Xiao Yuntian and I naturally have to observe carefully.
Li Yongzhong waved at us, and Xiao Yuntian and I hurriedly walked over.
"Xiao Gu, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask." After Li Yongzhong finished speaking, he hid under a tree to take a dip.
I politely shouted, "Grandpa Chen." ”
Chen Mingxuan responded, and then spoke in a somewhat hoarse voice: "Are you Gu Haiyun's grandson?" ”
I said yes, you know my grandfather all the time?
Chen Mingxuan nodded and said, "I know...... Your grandfather was really not a thing when he was young, not to mention raping the big girl, and doing nonsense everywhere. ”
My cheeks were hot when he said it, and I said in my heart that this is my business, and Gu Haiyun is not my own grandfather.
I laughed awkwardly.
Chen Mingxuan asked again: "Do you have anything to do?" ”
I thought about it for a while, and quickly said, "Do you know the Ten Directions Ghost Cave?" It is said that there is a treasure hidden there. ”
Chen Mingxuan replied lightly: "I don't know, I've never heard of it." ”
His expression didn't change at all, and the only remaining right eye was also cloudy, and he looked like an old man in his last years.
"What about Dripping Beach? And thirty years ago, the weirdo borrowed the grain, do you know? I asked again.
Chen Mingxuan glanced at me, lowered his head again, and said in a half-dead tone, "What are you doing inquiring about this?" It is said that there is a straw dog king sealed. ”
People on our side generally call zombies and call them Straw Dog King.
