Chapter XXXVIII
Wu Mian glanced at the volcano that had begun to pay attention to the two of them, turned back to the two of them and said: "Then you will die outside, don't come back" His words were vague, and to outsiders, what he said was like 'Then you will sleep outside, don't come back'
Laughing at the return, he was bold, stretched out his hand and pinched Wu Mian's face, and said, "When I come back from your second uncle, I will bring meat to you two to eat......
In the eyes of others, this is an old man who is out of tune, joking with his son, who is also a few years old. After a few of them looked at the volcano, they didn't seem to care much about the 'two masters'. Seeing that Gui Wu and Wu Mian had already walked past the volcano and several people, and when they were about to leave here a few more steps, the volcano sitting in the pergola suddenly said without warning: "You two wait a minute, I have something to ask you."
Gui Wu and Wu Mian stopped at the same time, both looking at the red-haired man with inexplicable expressions. Volcano's gaze slowly swept over the faces of the 'fathers', and finally fixed on Wu Mian's faces, and said, "You two look very angry, I have been here for more than two months, why haven't I seen you two?"
At that time, the rule was that when the elders were there, the juniors could not be the masters. So he replied, "If I can see our father for these two months, my errand will be lost."
After speaking, he grinned, woke up and wiped his snot on the stake of the pavilion, and then said: "My cub and I are both for the Marquis of Anyang and the Marquis of Pingyang to see the ancestral grave. The ancestral tomb of the Hou Ye family of Anyang is built on the mountainside, and the ancestral tomb of the Hou Ye family of Pingyang is in the back mountain. It is inconvenient to go up and down, and it is generally only once every three months to buy food. After a few days of staying and buying all the grain, dried vegetables and salty salt, we have to go back to the mountains in no time."
Wu Mian didn't know that there was really a large cemetery on the mountainside and in the back mountain, which had been carefully inspected by the volcano and found no problems. I thought that if I answered, I would be released by the volcano. Unexpectedly, the red-haired stared at the non-return for a long time, and finally said: "There are two cemeteries on the mountain, but you two are looking at the graves, so why did I only see two empty houses by the cemetery, but I didn't see you two?"
He spat out sticky phlegm at the foot of the volcano, and said, "Do you think you are an official master? Today, grandpa, I'm in a good mood, teach you a good job. Our grandfather and I look at the grave not to guard the grave, and we patrol it every day during the day, so we don't steal the grave and dig the grave. The empty house you mentioned was not inhabited by people like our grandfather, but by the blood relatives of the owner of the family when they were guarding the grave. We live in a straw hut in the middle of two ancestral graves, so it's easy to go either way."
This Yangshan is too big, and it is impossible for the volcano and his companions to turn around every corner of Yangshan, but listening to what this old guy said is the Tao, it seems to make some sense, and he can't find any flaws. And both of them do not match the person they are looking for in terms of appearance or age.
But just like that, Volcano still refuses to let go of the 'two masters' in front of him easily. He turned back to the people he had brought
"Find the pavilion chief and identify them as people from here."
After saying this, the muscles on Wu Mian's body suddenly contracted. Although the nonsense of not returning, it seems that the volcano has been temporarily frightened. But as long as the local pavilion chief arrives, the old guy and him Wu Mian can be debunked at a glance if they are locals. It's hard to say now, taking advantage of the volcano to relax its vigilance a little, and come cold, maybe there is a chance to get out.
Just before Wu Mian was about to make a sudden attack, he suddenly saw that he would not return and glanced at him. Let Wu Mian not act rashly, looking at his calm and relaxed appearance, it seems that the situation is still under the control of this old guy, and nothing major will happen.
A moment later, the people of the volcano came over with pavilion chiefs who were fifty or sixty years old. Before the two of them could get closer, they had already raised their hands and waved at the pavilion chief: "I said old guy, when will the three buckets of millet that you owe me back?"
Originally, when the pavilion chief saw Wu Mianhe not returning, his brows furrowed, and it seemed that he was about to blurt out that he didn't recognize Wu Mianhe and whether he would return. But after the old guy finished saying these few words, the pavilion chief's face suddenly changed, and his expression was a little twisted to see if he would return. After a while, he sighed and said, "Old Shen, don't take those buckets of grain as treasures." You...... The next time you go down the mountain, you will be designated to return you. When he spoke, his expression was really a little bit like the creditor's helplessness.
After saying this, there was no need for the volcano to ask again. He no longer paid attention to the 'two masters', nor did he bother to speak, waving his hand and directly signaling them to leave.
Gui Hui nodded at the pavilion chief, and after being polite, he took Wu Mian out of the volcano's sight together. More than ten miles outside the village, the two of them turned around into a large field of crops, and even if the volcano found that something was wrong and brought people over, they would not be able to find their whereabouts. At this time, Wu Mian said to the return: "You have not lived in vain for hundreds of years, you can think so far." This has been calculated a long time ago, and you can still find the pavilion chief to play, what benefits do you give him?"
With a smile that didn't cut back, he said slowly: "A small volcano, it's not enough for me to be so calculating." I am calculating his master and ancestor. Do you think I'll be able to change my appearance by digging up some wild herbs? These herbs were planted by my own hands around the cave more than a hundred years ago. Those two cemeteries are also empty graves that I found someone to repair, and the pavilion chief, I was not looking for him at the beginning, but his ancestors several generations ago. At that time, I found a few big families here and used some means to make them think that I was an old immortal who was cultivating on Yang Mountain. No matter who of their descendants is the pavilion chief, as long as I say exactly what I just said, their descendants will follow what they just said. As long as they go through the ignition of the old immortals, I will give them the opportunity to become immortals."
After saying these words, Wu Mian was silent at first. After being silent for a moment, he said, "You have calculated for hundreds of years, and this is all for the defense of Dafang Shi and Guangren?"
"You can also use it during the three-year weakening period," the old guy snorted and said, "But no matter how we say it, we are all people who can live forever, and now we are like our own brothers, and it is difficult to guarantee that after 1,800 years, we will not turn our faces for something." I don't hurt anyone, but I have to let anyone hurt me. I can't make a mistake if I think about it a few more steps, in fact, I also hope that the calculations here will not be used......" When he said this, there was a trace of loneliness on his face that could not return.
But after a blink of an eye, he changed back to his original appearance, smiled at Wu Mian, and said, "What else do you want to know, just ask, I know everything about the old man."
Wu Mian smiled strangely and said, "Then explain what is going on with your cubs?
Before he could finish this sentence, he didn't say a word, turned around and ran. But he had just run five or six paces when he heard a sudden thunderclap in the daytime, and then his body went numb, and he didn't know anything.
Wu Mian walked to the body of Gui Wu, who had passed out, and said to himself: "Look, nonsense has been struck by lightning, right?" After finishing speaking, he grabbed one of the old guy's ankles, dragged him like this, and continued to walk all the way.
