Chapter 32: The Other Side of Wu Butcher
At the bazaar, he bought Wu Yue's favorite jujube cake, pineapple and dragon beard candy, Jiang Chen walked all the way like the wind, and soon arrived at Wu's house.
Except for Wu Yue at home, Lao Wu and Wu Qingshan were not there, as if they were deliberately avoiding going out to create an opportunity for the two of them to be alone.
"My brother went out fishing with a friend, and you said he couldn't rest? Yesterday, he also said that he accidentally fell, and he didn't know how he had to fall to get his injury like that. ”
This kind of lame lie, even Wu Yue could see the flaw, Jiang Chen couldn't help but shake his head.
"Leave him alone, I bought everything you like, sit down and eat."
Wu Yue saw that Jiang Chen had bought so many of his favorite foods, so he sat down and tasted them beautifully.
"What about your father? Why haven't I seen him lately? Could it be that he was deliberately hiding from me? ”
Jiang Chen was a little worried, was this old Wu thinking about changing his hexagram again, if he obstructed his marriage with Wu Yue again, then he had to elope with Wu Yue.
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Wu Yue laughed out loud.
"Elopement? Brother Chen, do you really want to elope with me, an oil bottle? ”
"What, you're not happy?" Jiang Chen stretched out his finger and scratched Wu Yue's little nose dotingly.
Wu Yue has lived in this small town since she was a child, and she has never been to a place hundreds of miles away from home, she feels that if she elopes with Jiang Chen, she will definitely be a burden.
"No, Brother Chen will take me wherever he wants, as long as you don't dislike me for being a burden."
"By the way, my dad has been coming home later than usual lately, and I don't know what he's going to do, but he didn't say he was going to oppose our marriage, don't worry."
The two were talking, but Lao Wu happened to come back, and after he saw Jiang Chen, he chatted casually, and then went into the kitchen to tinker.
Jiang Chen and Wu Yue both looked a little inexplicable, the meals at home have always been prepared by Wu Yue, and today's dinner is also cooked, I don't know what he is going to do at this time.
It didn't take long for Lao Wu to come out with a bowl of food, and when he went out, he didn't forget to explain, "I'll feed the cow something to eat, you can eat first, don't wait for me." ”
After Lao Wu walked away, Jiang Chen asked Wu Yue suspiciously: "Aren't the cows in your grass shed eating forage?" When will you still eat white rice? ”
Wu Yue also frowned, and said in surprise: "I was still in that bowl of rice, and I saw a chicken leg!" ”
Combined with Lao Wu's recent abnormal behavior, Jiang Chen felt that it was necessary to investigate it carefully, this was his father-in-law, and he should care more about it.
He asked Wu Yue to have dinner first, and then walked in the direction of the Wu family's grass shed.
When he hadn't approached yet, he faintly heard a voice from inside the shed, shouldn't this old Wu be talking to the cow alone?
Things are getting weirder and weirder, is this old Wu because he is reluctant to marry his daughter, so he is anxious, and he doesn't want his family to know, so he wants to run to such a place to hide?
Jiang Chen had a lot of questions in his heart, and then he began to deliberately slow down his pace, while minimizing the movement coming from his feet.
Due to his professional training and countless experience in the battle, Jiang Chen did an impeccable job here, and it would be impossible for Lao Wu inside to detect his existence if there was no accident.
"Don't kill those cats and dogs, your strange behavior will cause panic to the people nearby, and it will easily arouse suspicion."
Lao Wu's words made Jiang Chen's brain seem to have an electric current surging.
The strange thing I heard in the market during the day was actually matched by Lao Wu, which means that there should be another person in front of Lao Wu at this time, that is, the person who threw the body after killing the cat and dog.
"Isn't it possible that you bring me food every day so that it won't arouse the suspicion of your family?"
It was a man's voice, although Jiang Chen didn't know who he was, and he hadn't heard this voice before, but he could almost paint the image of this person in his mind.
"You don't have to worry about my business, in short, I can't let you mess around outside, even if I'm not the same person I used to be."
"It's still fresh raw meat that suits my appetite, the smell of dripping blood and filling the smell of fish, which makes people sick."
The man's tone of voice did not rise or fall in the slightest, as if it was as calm as a mirror.
"Is it a quirk that was cultivated on the battlefield?"
"If the instinct to survive is a quirk."
The conversation between Lao Wu and this mysterious man, every sentence surprised Jiang Chen, and the identity of the other party was actually a person who had been fighting on the battlefield for a long time.
Only a person who walks on the brink of death every day can have such a cold tone and ambivalence about blood.
Jiang Chen can feel this strongly, he was also a person who survived on the tip of a knife, and he would not understand that kind of taste at all without experiencing several battles between life and death.
Then he must be a big soldier!
"What's next?" Lao Wu was silent for a while before he asked again.
"I must fulfill my mission, even if I die!"
When the two of them said this, they suddenly stopped with a tacit understanding, as if they were holding their breath and listening to the movements around them, and this reaction made Jiang Chen feel quite surprised.
He had reduced his breathing to an inaudible level, but even so, did the two people inside still feel something?
How is this possible?
It's really ridiculous to the extreme, the butcher Lao Wu who has known him since he was a child actually has an unknown side, and now Jiang Chen has a strong interest in Lao Wu's past, I really want to know what kind of identity he once was?
"It's almost time, and if I don't go back, I'm afraid they'll be suspicious."
Lao Wu got up to leave, and the man didn't make any other moves, and when Lao Wu returned home, he saw his daughter Wu Yue and Jiang Chen eating dinner happily.
"Hmph, I don't know if I'm waiting, I said that the daughter who got married spilled the water, and you haven't married yet!"
"Didn't you say let's eat first?" Jiang Chen reminded.
Lao Wu suddenly became arrogant: "Hmph, the elders are just polite when they say this, don't you juniors know how to know some etiquette?" ”
Although he had a straight face, it could be seen that Lao Wu was not really angry, and he was always serious, and he actually knew how to joke.
After returning from the Wu family, Jiang Chen stayed at home alone and thought quietly, he had a strong feeling that the man hiding in the Wu family's grass hut was the guy he had seen before.
Gu Jun said that the man was holding a big soldier talisman in his hand, but what was he doing right now in such an inconspicuous small place as them?
