604. Is it really because of reluctance

"At that time, it was not easy to track down, Maoshu and Chen Ju had a lot of encounters, and the Evenki people were also very reluctant to mention the two deer girls who died that year. In addition to these, as they investigated more and more, Maoshu and they found a particularly tricky thing, that is, the clansmen who knew the two deer girls better had more or less bizarre deer people and died tragically. ”

Elder Li's face became a little solemn, "And that patriarch is the last person who has had close contact with the two deer girls, and may know what the relationship between the current Evenki and the events of the past may be." But the patriarch was gone, and the remaining Evenkis didn't know much about it, so the investigation was interrupted. ”

Hearing this, Fu Yinghan put down the tools in his hand and said, "It's not an interruption, there is another person who may know." ”

Elder Li looked at Fu Yinghan meaningfully.

Shen Li was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood: "That patriarch's daughter, right?" Since she knew about the deer girl, she wanted to come and see it with her own eyes, or hear her father mention the truth. ”

"Not bad."

Elder Li nodded and said, "After thinking about it, Mao Shu and Chen Ju did find the daughter of the patriarch. But the patriarch's daughter avoided them at this time, even if Chen Ju managed to see someone, she was in a trance, as if she was hit by her father's tragic death, and she couldn't speak normally. ”

But then Maoshu succeeded in convincing the patriarch's daughter to tell them what they wanted. The other party asked to see only one Maoshu, and he was only willing to talk to Maoshu. ”

Maoshu went to meet people, and they talked secretly for a long time alone. After coming out, Maoshu talked to Chen Ju, and then they asked me to leave. ”

Shen Li immediately asked, "Did you ask my master and grandfather what he knew from the patriarch's daughter?" ”

"I asked, but neither Maoshu nor Chen Ju would tell me, and only told me to leave."

Li Lao's eyes deepened, "They said that it would be dangerous for me to stay any longer, and it would also drag them down." But I felt that something was wrong, so I thought of a way to delay the time, saying that I was here for the refining materials, and I had to find the materials before I was willing to go, and they couldn't force me. ”

"After sending them away, I went to the daughter of the patriarch and asked her what she had said to Maoshu. But she also kept her mouth shut. ”

At that time, in the process of Chen Zhongwen and Shen Maoshu's investigation, Li Lao also contributed to help them with a lot of things, so he became familiar with them and no longer minded the contradictions when they first met.

Therefore, after confirming that there was really something wrong, Li Lao refused to leave them alone to take risks, thinking that he was not a useless person, so he could still help one or two, right?

But they didn't give Li Lao this chance.

"I went to look for Maoshu, and on the way to tell them that I decided to stay, I first met Maoshu who came to me." Elder Li said in a deep voice, "It turns out that Maoshu went to a few old people of the Evenki people and asked them what the materials I wanted. He exchanged with them, and they told Maoshu that it was a special antler. ”

"In those two days, in order to let me leave, Mao Shu dragged Chen Ju to find a lot of antlers."

"I don't know how he found it, but in the end he actually brought me a very special antler, told me it was the material I was looking for, and let me take it with me."

Shen Li was slightly stunned and asked, "Then you are really that ...... Let's go? Didn't stay? ”

Li Lao was silent.

"I really didn't have a reason to stay."

"After all, when I get there, I'm looking for the materials I want."

"However, I actually thought that Maoshu and I are also friends, so it is natural for me to stay and help my friends."

"But Maoshu said that it doesn't count, he didn't treat me as a friend. He also said that I had left something in his way, and that it had delayed him for a long time, which was really troublesome. ”

"Chen Ju also choked me at the time, saying that I was a drag and couldn't help them at all."

So in a fit of rage, he really packed his bags and left.

You know, before that, no matter how many people begged him for help, he didn't answer!

He was rarely kind once, and he was belittled by Shen Maoshu as nothing.

Where could he stand this kind of grievance and cold treatment at that time? He just thought, he really doesn't know what to do!

Shen Li blinked, exchanged glances with Fu Yinghan, and said, "Based on my understanding of my grandfather, he may have said that on purpose, for fear of affecting your predecessors." If he really dislikes you, he won't waste time and effort to find you antlers, and will directly respond to my master's style and ask someone to drive you away. ”

Elder Li took a deep breath, "...... Yes or no, it doesn't matter now. ”

Fu Yinghan opened his mouth and said, "Senior, what about later?" ”

Li Lao said: "After I left, I returned to my hometown with the antlers. But I didn't use the antler refiner, I was worried that I wasn't good enough to guarantee 100% success, and if I failed, I would waste my antlers. So I started spending time looking for supporting materials that would increase the success rate. ”

Fu Yinghan looked at the jade in his hand, and suddenly asked, "Is there still this kind of ice-bottom yang green?" ”

Li Lao was stunned by his sudden words, "Naturally." Isn't this piece enough? ”

Fu Yinghan said: "No, I'm just worried that failure will be ruined." ”

Old Li blurted out: "Master, your craft was taught by the old man himself, no worse than the old man at your age, how can a mere piece of jade be destroyed?" ”

"Are you worried about ruining yourself, do you not believe in your own ability, or do you question the old man's inadequacy?"

Li Lao joked, "According to the old man, don't you want to make an excuse to ask for all the remaining ice bottom yang green in the old man's treasury, and make a complete set of jewelry for the little lady, right?" ”

Shen Li next to him looked at Fu Yinghan, but he didn't say anything.

Fu Yinghan raised his eyebrows and said, "Old Li, since you are so confident in the Fu you taught, don't you have confidence in yourself?" ”

Li Lao was stunned.

Fu Yinghan took another knife and chiseled it while saying, "I didn't use that antler back then, was it really just because I destroyed it?" Or is there something else? ”

"I've already said most of it, and for the rest, Li Lao can't hide his secrets anymore, and it's good to say that there is a beginning and an end. It will also help us go north together this time. ”

Li Lao was silent.

After a long time, he said slowly: "The master is too worried, where is there any other reason, it is indeed reluctant to waste. ”

"Then did you hear about my master's grandfather later?" Shen Li asked instead.

Li Lao sighed: "I've heard it. ”

"In less than a month, I inquired and heard that Mao Shu and Chen Ju returned to the Special Investigation Bureau, but they were the only ones who went back, and they were still injured."

"And the Evenki, on the other hand, disappeared. I only heard that their affairs seemed to be resolved, and the rest, I don't know. By the way, it seems that the Evenki people have moved after that. ”

Shen Li frowned slightly, and said, "Then did you see my grandfather and master again at that time?" ”
