Chapter 430 Old Majesty
I saw that the dumb ghost was also very excited when he first saw the elder sister's drum, and he turned into a puff of black air to surround the drum body, but he soon turned into a human form again, and then shook Song Jiang with a disappointed expression. shook his head.

The result is self-evident, this is not the old sister's drum, and Song Jiang also thought about it carefully afterward, it is impossible to have only one sister's drum in this world, after all, there were so many so-called saintesses in those days. Persecuted to death.

Song Jiang and Meng Zhe were actually prepared for something to be wrong before they came, but now that it was confirmed that they were not Mei Duo's sister, they were inevitably a little disappointed in their hearts... Even if they are outsiders like this, even more so. Not to mention that the client was dumb, the disappointment on his face was beyond words.

Moreover, the moment Meng Zhe saw the sister's drum, he already guessed the result now, because he couldn't feel the breath of ghosts on it... He didn't say it directly, but just wanted Song Jiang to find out the answer.

The matter has not yet come to an end. They still have the hunter Lao Zhuo. If the man surnamed Deng is telling the truth, then they should find new clues from Lao Bao...

Before Song Jiang could speak, Meng Zhe waved his hand and said to the dumb ghost, "You go back first, there will be another one... don't worry, you will always find it."

After hearing this, the mute ghost knew that Song Jiang and the others did not give up because of this, so he bowed deeply to the two of them again, and then turned around and returned to the totem statue in a black air.

Song Jiang looked at the elder sister on the table with a regretful face and said, "Then what should we do about this?"

Meng Zhe said indifferently, "It's just a dead thing... There are no ghosts attached to it. Sometimes the meaning of some things is actually given by living people, not the things themselves."

When Uncle Deng and Xiao Jia regained their sanity, they didn't know what happened just now. They just thought that they just lost their minds. Song Jiang regretfully told them that something was wrong, but the general direction should be found, so they went to the next step. I want to visit my home in Laobao Mountain...

As soon as Song Jiang said this, Xiao Jia was fine, because Song Jiang and the others had said before that no matter whether the deal could be concluded, his benefits would not be less, but Uncle Deng was obviously hesitant.

"What? Is there any problem? If Lao Bao has something we want, you can take it from him first, and then resell it to us..." Meng Zhe said boldly.

Song Jiang agreed after hearing this, "Don't worry, we won't treat you badly."

Unexpectedly, Uncle Deng shook his head and said, "You two have misunderstood me. Lao Bao has a weird temper...I don't know if he will agree."

Song Jiang was puzzled and said, "Didn't you say that his family is very poor? Shouldn't he be rich and not make money?"

Uncle Deng sighed after hearing this, "Old Man is the kind of poor and tough-tempered guy. If he didn't really need money to buy medicine, he wouldn't easily sell those old things at home... First of all, he has a strong sense of money. The desire is not great, and the second is that he has always felt that those things are very unlucky, so he is not willing to buy them for others easily."

"But he still bought this sister's drum for you... Let's go and try it first, and then we'll talk if it doesn't work." Song Jiang said with a smile.

Since Xiao Jia will lead a group the next day, he can't accompany Song Jiang and the others into the mountains, but Uncle Deng said that he is very familiar with the mountain road to Lao Jiao's house, and he will never get lost in the mountains... So Song Jiang and the others went back to the hotel to stay for one night, and entered Canduo Mountain with Uncle Deng early the next morning.

Lao Zhuo’s family lives in the deepest part of Canduo Mountain, and the whole journey can only be reached on foot. Every time, it takes a long time to “go back and forth” just on the road. Even Uncle Deng can’t explain why his family has Get away from the world.

The simple mountain road is not difficult to walk. Although it is surrounded by dense forests, Uncle Deng took them on a narrow trail that has been trampled by people walking all year round. Apart from consuming some physical strength, there is nothing else...

Uncle Deng introduced the situation of Lao Zhuo's family to Song Jiang and the others while walking, "Lao Zhuo's daughter-in-law is not very talkative, and his son has been sick all year round, so every time I see Lao Zhuo, I don't see him smiling. , in short, life is not easy.”

Song Jiang asked curiously when he heard this, "What's wrong with Lao Zhuo's son? Why didn't he go down the mountain to get a cure?!"

Uncle Deng sighed after hearing this, "It's not that I didn't go down the mountain to see it. The big hospital in the city said what he had... Muscle weakness, and it can't be cured at all. Boys who are eighteen or nine years old still need their parents to take their shit away." Urinate, this may be the reason why Lao Bao is unwilling to go down the mountain."

After listening to Uncle Deng's talk about the situation of Lao Jiao's family, the image of a middle-aged man with a vicissitudes of life and a serious face automatically appeared in Song Jiang's mind. It doesn't take much thinking to know that their life must be very hard...

Thinking of this, Song Jiang continued to ask, "He bought that sister's drum just to treat his son?!"

After hearing this, Uncle Deng said helplessly, "At that time, a very powerful old Chinese doctor came to the county, saying that he specialized in treating difficult and miscellaneous diseases. At the age of 20, you can’t just lie in bed for the rest of your life, can you? After going there, the other party asked for 5 yuan, and promised to cure the child’s illness...But how can Lao Bao’s family have so much money? ?The living expenses of the whole family depended on him going into the mountains to hunt and sell skins by himself, and he had no money left all year round. In addition, he never interacted with others, so he didn’t have anyone to borrow at critical times. I knew this at the time After the incident, I helped him raise 5 yuan, thinking that he had saved my life anyway, so he could help me. But the old man was stubborn, saying that he would not be able to repay my money by hunting for the rest of his life. That's why I gave this sister to me."

Song Jiang didn't expect the wretched uncle in front of him to be quite affectionate, so he asked casually, "Has Xiaoying's illness been cured?"

Uncle Deng shook his head helplessly and said, "No...that guy is a liar, he ran away that night after taking Lao Jiao's money."

Song Jiang said angrily when he heard it, "This liar is too wicked!? He is already miserable enough, and he can still do it... It's best not to let me touch that guy, otherwise he will definitely be beaten Looking for teeth all over the place!"

Seeing Song Jiang's angry look, Meng Zhe laughed and said, "What kind of punishment is a beating? If this kind of person falls into my hands, I will make him restless for the rest of his life."
