The hunchbacked old man said a few words with an apologetic expression.
Wang Shan no longer wanted to smoke, so he put away his old cigarette rod and said solemnly: "The last bit of water in the tank will be boiled in the afternoon for making tea."
"That's quite a coincidence." Lingxi sneered, "The third question is, Xiao Yu'er's mother is not actually forty-three years old, but fifty-three."
"And that photo was taken recently by a good sister of mine."
Wang Shan turned pale and said, "Fake?"
"Half truth, half lie." Lingxi held her knees and said, "Finding a relative is a big deal. We can't just believe whatever the old man says, right?"
"Damn it, this old guy." Wang Shan's teeth chattered angrily, and he suppressed the anger in his heart and said bitterly: "This bastard wants to harm us."
"Anyway, I don't have good intentions." Lingxi confessed, "Ask me, I'd like to see how he knits."
Wang Shan said timidly: "No, don't ask. He wants to harm us. If he is completely exposed, will this old fox turn his back and be ruthless and kill us?"
"With Tieshan here, the seven of us are still afraid of his old bones?" Lingxi said easily: "There is no grievance or enmity, at least ask for it."
"That's right, brother Wang, don't be a coward, I have some trouble with me." Tieshan encouraged Wangshan.
Wang Shan couldn't resist Ling Xi, so he forced himself to stutter and ask questions.
The hunchbacked old man lowered his head and said nothing, and his expression could not be clearly seen.
The next moment, he suddenly stood up.
Wang Shan fled towards Tieshan like a frightened bird, fearing that the old man would do something to him.
"You guys are very good." The hunchbacked old man grinned, and what he said turned out to be extremely standard Mandarin.
Tieshan and Pei Chuan immediately made fighting and defensive postures, as if they were about to take action if they disagreed.
Ji Qinghe protected Xiao Yu'er and moved closer to me, cautiously and with chaotic steps.
"You are also very powerful." Lingxi said calmly: "From the time we entered the village to the time we found someone to inquire about the one-eyed old man, in just half an hour, you set up a trap for us to get involved."
"If you weren't in too much of a hurry, you could have done it perfectly."
"It's a pity that chaos has arisen out of desperation. This abandoned yard has too many flaws."
"The kitchen, well water, and sanitation are all things that make me suspicious."
"Oh, there's also the bluestone stairs at the door." Lingxi said casually: "Who would allow the stairs of their home to be covered with moss if they live there all year round?"
"Especially when there are two old people living here, aren't you afraid of falling to death?"
Lingxi said bluntly: "By the way, the musty smell in the house is a bit strong. Even if you clean it quickly and ventilate it beforehand, it still remains too much."
"In the end." Lingxi said with playful eyes like a cat playing with a mouse: "You are making up stories, and we are also making up stories."
"Not a word of this drama is true from beginning to end."
"The so-called setting up a trap is just about each other."
The hunchbacked old man dropped his hands on his waist and said with a flash of light in his eyes: "But I still won, didn't I?"
"Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, you prefer to go to the tiger mountains."
"From the moment you step into this courtyard, you have no way out."
"Girl, intelligence and arrogance are two different things."
"Your pride will cost you dearly."
After the hunchbacked old man finished speaking, he turned around and got into the back room. His speed caught Tieshan and others off guard, who were on alert for defense.
"Since you like this courtyard, then stay here forever."
Faintly, the last words of the hunchbacked old man echoed in our ears like the echo of the valley.
