This old guy was so good at changing topics. I was about to speak when I suddenly realized that if I answered him, I would be completely led away by him. If I didn't answer, I would look a little rude.
So I took a deep breath and said: "I'm sorry, Third Grandpa, I will make sure to prepare properly for the food and wine next time. But having said that, you are definitely not an ordinary person. Ordinary people will never play with a computer like that."
Professional, and ordinary people will never know the evil ghosts of the Xu family so well."
I talked a lot in one breath, and because I was afraid that the old fox would change the subject again, I poured out all the words without any pause.
The third grandfather blushed when he saw what I said. He picked up the wine glass with a smile and said, "Come on, don't worry, let us drink first."
Yes, four ounces makes a big difference. This sentence brought me through the whole conversation just now in an understatement. Moreover, I had to drink this glass of wine, because after all, it was my elders who respected me.
I quickly took a sip. After finishing the drink, I put the glass down and continued to ask: "Grandpa Third, can you talk now?"
The third grandfather chuckled and said: "It's easy to say, in fact, I am an ordinary person, but I was harmed by a powerful ghost when I was young. In addition, I have friends who specialize in these magical tools to ward off evil spirits, especially obsidian, so I also
I did some research and brought a lot of them with me. As for the Xu family? In fact, it was the Xu family who hurt me when I was young, so... I secretly got to know the characters of the Xu family, that's it, what's the matter?
Are you not satisfied?"
Unexpectedly, Third Grandpa spoke in quite detail this time, which made me a little bit at a loss.
I quickly took a sip of wine and said: "Third Grandpa, I dare not be dissatisfied with what you said, but I sincerely thank you for helping me, and I really want to understand what kind of person you are. After all, I
I have been deceived enough in my life, and I really don’t want to be manipulated by others anymore.”
Third Grandpa smiled softly, seemingly apologetically, and said, "Lin Yang, you should be able to see that I have never plotted against you, let alone manipulated you."
I nodded and said: "I know, I understand, Third Grandpa, to be honest, you are one of the few people I trust, so I still want to know your identity, even if you don't tell me the key things? Just let me know.
I know what you do, why are you trying to make things difficult for the Xu family? Isn’t that the end of it?”
The Third Grandpa smiled and said: "Hey, haven't I already said that I am just a common man, but I was plotted by the evil ghosts of the Xu family when I was young, so I am like this now. In fact, I am more or less like you.
It's similar, except that I didn't encounter anything as serious as you when I was young, and the evil ghosts of the Xu family didn't kill me either."
I obviously heard the logical problem in this sentence and asked: "With all due respect, since the evil ghosts of the Xu family have not killed you, are they still worth thinking about for your whole life? You were injured by the evil ghosts of the Xu family when you were young.
But now, in your seventies, you still have to deal with the evil ghosts of the Xu family?"
The third grandfather was stunned. He was obviously very embarrassed by his clumsy lie. He scratched his head and said, "I understand, don't worry about so many details."
I saw that the old fox still didn't mean anything clearly, so I had to take a sip of wine.
Third Grandpa probably could see that I was not happy, so he said with a smile: "Lin Yang, don't worry, at least I didn't lie to you. The Xu family and I have sworn hatred, and you and the Xu family happen to be the same.
Confrontation, since this is the case, then what do you have to worry about? We are all allies, at least for now, right?"
I nodded and thought, that's right. This is their own private matter anyway, and there may be something unspeakable, so why should I ask?
I ate some food and suddenly thought of something, that is, Third Grandpa probably knew Wang Rujun, because after Rujun came last night, Third Grandpa immediately hid and did not show up at all. Such a reaction was really
Too strange.
I quickly said: "Third Grandpa, do you know Rujun?"
"Rujun? Who is Rujun?" Third Grandpa pretended to be dumbfounded. It seems that I can't even ask about this matter.
"I haven't slept yet, let's have a drink." I smiled and didn't want to ask any more questions. After all, Third Grandpa sacrificed his life to save me yesterday, so it's really not an honest thing for me to come over and ask him today.
Third Grandpa nodded and started drinking. He also smiled slightly when he looked at me, and there seemed to be a hint of gratitude in his smile.
Time flies by and this week is about to end. Ever since Xu Fengxian was killed by the crazy Taoist Seven Swords, the Xu family has disappeared instantly, as if they have never assassinated us.
However, the more this happens, the more something is wrong in my heart. After all, the Xu family is the first family in Sijiu City, and has never done anything so secretive. In the few words I heard, Xu family
It seems that Jia has always been a character who frightens his enemies and pays for his debts with blood.
As for what happened to the Xu family, or the four major underground families, it is unknown. Anyway, they have encountered a difficult nail like us and deserve to be unlucky.
In the past few nights, I called Lao Xie frequently and asked Lao Xie if he knew why the Xu family did not continue to attack me. Lao Xie said that the envoy seemed to have visited the Xu family the night after Xu Fengxian was killed.
It’s not clear what he said, but the final result was that the Xu family suddenly withered away, and they no longer continued to pursue me.
The message given by Lao Xie was very clear. Needless to say, it was the envoy who intervened in this matter in the end. In fact, in the final analysis, the authorization for this matter was also given by the envoy. Now the envoy suddenly changed his mind and let the Xu family end all this.
, no one knows what the messenger is thinking.
In short, I am not so clear about the underground rules of the Forty-Nine Cities. I vaguely feel that there must be another secret in the underground of the Forty-Nine Cities, a secret that is far more profound and terrifying than the four major families.
Because there is a question that has been bothering me. The ghost spirit of the Li Gui is far more than a thousand years, but why is the most powerful ghost spirit of the Li Gui underground in Sijiu City only about a thousand years? Whether it is Rujun or Xu Fengxian, they are like this
The leader among a group of fierce ghosts is one of the top ten or five most powerful underground characters in the Four-Nine City. So is there no older ghosts in such a long history?
Why do all ghosts seem to originate from the Ming Dynasty, so what about the fierce ghosts before the Ming Dynasty?
Song Dynasty, Tang Dynasty, even earlier, Han Dynasty, Qin Dynasty?
Where have all those evil spirits gone?
Did they disappear out of thin air? Or have they surpassed their own ghosts and reincarnated?
I don't know, but this question always lingers in my mind.
The afternoon sun was shining brightly again on this day. In fact, it was already autumn. A few autumn rains had fallen, and the weather had gradually become colder. Although there were still "autumn tigers" waiting for us later, the temperature had dropped significantly now.
I stood by the window and watched the people rushing on the street outside, which felt quite comfortable.
Suddenly, my eyes lit up and I saw a bright black Land Rover Discovery IV parked on the road. This kind of car is relatively luxurious. In fact, it is not common in apartment buildings of my generation, so when I saw this
The car caught my attention.
Because Mengyun’s father, Xu Changge, drives this model of car.
This kind of car has a lot of space and is very stable to drive. It is very suitable for off-road and long distances. Moreover, Mengyun's father has two dogs, so it is more convenient to take them in this car.
I squinted my eyes and looked at the Land Rover carefully, and I couldn't help but think: "Could this car belong to Xu Changge, right? But Mengyun has moved out of the apartment for more than a week, and Xu Changge has no reason to come over now?"
The more I thought about it, the stranger I felt. Just when I was about to look at the license plate number from a different angle, something even more surprising happened to me.
I saw a figure suddenly walking in the distance. This figure was very familiar. It turned out to be Lao Mao!
The old cat was carrying a backpack and a peaked cap. Although he kept the hat low, his walking posture and the way he smoked immediately gave him away! It was the old cat! I am so familiar with him, I will never admit his mistake!
The old cat walked with great vigilance. He even looked around to see if he was walking. When he was sure that no one was around, he walked straight towards the Land Rover!
