"What did you say?" said the old gentleman, pushing away his chair and standing up excitedly, "you said yes...... Is that...... He led you here?"

"He, old man, what do you know?" Su Yi glanced at Su Ran and asked first.

The old man shook his head again, and the dim kerosene lamp descended, and his honest face was lined with some vicissitudes, as if it was burying pain.

He didn't speak, Su Yi looked good at his ancestor.

"What's sad about the old gentleman?" Su Ran said tentatively, "I've been a little more sorry for you, and I've seen a lot of things and walked a lot." Just for your kindness in taking in my juniors, you might as well speak up and see if there is anything I can do to help you. ”

Su Ran's words seemed to have a natural magic power.

The old man's mood quickly calmed down a lot, "I'm ashamed to say that the old man's name is Zhao Changfa. has an elder brother named Zhao Changhai. Yesterday I dreamed that he told Tuo Meng that he was leaving Zhao's lame house. I...... I...... , but he said that he was trapped by something and couldn't break free at all. When I heard you say that someone was showing the way, I somehow thought of him. ”

His words made Su Ran and Su Yi's eyes light up, "Is the old man worried about this?"

"Hey, our people in the village are superstitious. I'm afraid of your jokes. As he spoke, the old man shuddered and poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it with a clatter.

Su Ran felt that it was like closing a window and opening another door.

The mood was suddenly much refreshed.

No matter what the purpose of those Heavenly Masters outside is, as long as she can grasp this line, maybe she will be able to find Zhong Yan's soul and the location of Zhao Shunzi smoothly.

"Hey, old man, what kind of superstition are you? According to what you say, our Heavenly Master will not be able to see people?"

Su Yi has always been cautious, but seeing the old man's kind face, he couldn't help but want to comfort him.

Who knew that the old man's face changed greatly when he heard her words, "You, are you invited by the Zhao family to hunt ghosts?"

"Ghost hunting?" Su Ran's voice raised, "they're here to ask us to help find his son." ”

Su Ran said as he observed the old man.

It stands to reason that he should not be suspected, but he seems to be connected to the Zhao family's life.

Speaking of the Zhao family, a trace of complexity flashed on the old man's face, "There are many people in their family who have invited them back and forth, and many of them are suspicious of me, and there are even more people who have come to the house, so that the neighbors are pointing fingers at our family." My old man simply moved straight to the edge of town. They must not be allowed to affect the child's life. ”

Su Ran walked around the room at this time, and the simplicity could hardly be simpler.

Except for the bed where he slept, the guy who ate was like the table and chair in front of him.

"Since there is no grudge, then why should they all suspect you? Could it be that there is something in this? Maybe we can help each other out. ”

Su Ran is kind and seductive, and she is already charitable.

The old man even said yes again and again, "I also have a past here, and I originally wanted to rot in my stomach." ”

Speaking of the Zhao family, it is the landlord's family. There are many who hate them. Why did those people find our house, because I hate them the most. They used their money to break up one of our families!"

"I've hated it for so many years, and I'm getting old, and I'm almost tired of it. I hope that my children and grandchildren will be safe. ”

"It all started decades ago, when the coalition forces were in the civil war and liberated the Ghost Gate, because there were too many deaths. There was a shortage of strong laborers in the army, so they came to the village to recruit soldiers. Men of the right age have to go. ”

Su Yi has also heard about this history, and now he feels more empathetic when he hears the person concerned.

Su Ran had never experienced it, but he also transferred some remaining memories, and his heart was even more shocked.

When was the war between mortals so cruel, and the lethal weapons were no worse than their magic weapons.

Su Ran was shocked in his heart, and subconsciously asked, "Then what does this have to do with your grievances with the Zhao family?"

"What's the matter? My family was poor, and my brother, who was only thirteen years old at the time, began to work as a long-term worker in the Zhao family to earn money to support the family. Working all year round, he draws strips very quickly, and although he is thin, he looks like a sixteen or seventeen. ”

"National conscription, Zhao Changgui is just the right age. In order to protect him, his father and his mother wanted my brother to do it for him. Who knew that my dad would reject it. I thought that the Zhao family would be born in peace, but who knew that they were not people and secretly bought off the village chief, and only on the day that they came to pull the troops did they say that it was my brother who was chosen. ”

Su Yi was also a little angry when he heard it, "Then how old is your brother? Even if he is tall, he is only a thirteen-year-old child!"

"Who's to say it's not?" said the old man's eyes were full of tears, "my brother has not heard from me since he left. My dad was so drunk that he ended up drowning in the river. The uncles and elders of the family will come to divide the family. My mother was illiterate, so they tricked my mother into giving us the house and asking my mother to sign and draw the mortgage. ”

"And then?" Su asked frequently, and Su Ran's eyes flashed.

Obviously, she was also a little curious about how this family came to be.

After all, Mrs. Zhao said it very miserably.

"Yes, the house was given to us, but the foundation of the house was theirs. If you want to live here, you have to buy a homestead. My father is gone, and my brother has gone to join the army. My mother dragged me, and when I was twenty-two, she married me a daughter-in-law. But my brother has not been heard from me. ”

"It's been more than ten years, right? Then haven't you gone to him?" Su Ran couldn't help but sigh a little.

"I've looked for it, but I don't know where to look for it. Later, one of his comrades-in-arms came back and said that we learned that he died on the battlefield. Ghost Gate Pass is notoriously easy to defend and difficult to attack. At that time, the four city gates of the coalition army were attacking at the same time, and my brother's vanguard was attacking one of them. ”

"Has the city gate been captured?" Su Yi couldn't help but continue to ask.

Before the words fell, a voice came from outside the door, "You are really here! How many years have you been, Zhao Changfa, you are still here to win people's sympathy." If it weren't for your father's destruction of someone's ancestral grave, there would be no such cause and effect. ”

"What is this doing to my father?" Zhao Changfa was a little excited.

The people outside the room had already broken in, and it was the one who had intercepted Su Ran and the others.

He looked around the room, and the long sword in his hand fell on Zhao Changfa's neck at once, "Say, where is the phoenix egg?"

"Phoenix eggs?" Su Ran was a little surprised.

No wonder so many Heavenly Masters have entered here.

Hearing her voice, the red-eyed Heavenly Master looked at her in surprise, "Don't tell me, you really came here just to find that dead son for the Zhao family." ”

"Dead son?" Su Yi glanced at his ancestor's slightly changed expression, and subconsciously asked, "What do you know?
