Chapter 61 Breaking the Secret
After hearing this, Qing Xuzi said anxiously, "It's okay to discuss, but remember, we don't have much time left, we must make a decision as soon as possible!"

After Qing Xuzi finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the darkness behind him. Only then did Song Jiang realize that he was carrying a strange round drum and two drumsticks made of unknown animal bones behind him.

When Song Jiang thought of Qingxuzi's so-called solution, he could only turn around and walk back helplessly. After a while, his soul returned to his body. At the same time, Meng Zhe, who was covered in water, also got into the tent Say, "How's it going? Did something come up?!"

Song Jiang then told Meng Zhe all about Qingxuzi and the solution he said, and the latter was silent for a moment and said, "What kind of nonsense solution is this?! Want a fresh human skin in vain? I think he has been a dead ghost for too long, right?"

As soon as Song Jiang heard it, he echoed again and again, "That's right! What's the age, what are you talking about with me about the absurd logic of killing one and saving one?!"

At this moment, Meng Zhe looked up at the mountain opposite the reservoir and said, "Let's go to that Mantou Mountain after dawn to have a look. You can't believe all the nonsense of that old man. Some things have to be verified by yourself to know the truth. It's really not possible." …If you are not too young, just put the beasts directly into "Strange Tales of the Mountains and Seas", why bother to repair that bullshit demon-subduing formation!"

It was the first time that Song Jiang felt that the three views of the thousand-year-old monster in front of him were quite upright, so he nodded and said, "Yes, we have a great sage! What kind of monsters can't be subdued?!"

Although Meng Zhe knew that Song Jiang was putting a high hat on himself, he still said very usefully, "Hmph, what does that old man know? If I hadn't been sealed in the Heaven-Mending God Stone back then, how could there be so much room for monsters?" This evil animal is going crazy? And the old man's words must not be trusted completely, the evil spirit in this water area is so heavy, it is not just because it is as simple as trapping the beast..."

At this time, Song Jiang thought of the hunchbacked old man in the reservoir, and asked curiously, "By the way, there is also that hunchbacked old man covered in ghosts. What happened to him?"

Meng Zhe thought for a while, then got up and changed into a set of clean clothes and said, "Let's go, before dawn, let's go to the place where the hunchbacked old man lives..."

The hunchbacked old man lived in an adobe house far away from the water. When Song Jiang and Meng Zhe rushed over, there was still a small dim lamp in the house... If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Song Jiang couldn't believe it In this day and age, there are still people who are willing to live in adobe houses with such poor conditions. There is hardly a piece of glass on the wooden window frames with peeling paint, and all of them are "sewn and patched" with tapes of various colors.

Then the two looked in through the mottled glass, and saw the hunchbacked old man sitting in front of the table, eating a small plate of fried peanuts on the table with relish, and there was a half bottle of low-quality liquor beside him. Seeing the other person's expression seems to be enjoying it very much...

Those ghosts were still the same as before, clinging to the old man... At this moment, the water sitting on the stove suddenly boiled, and the old man with his back to the stove quickly got up and picked up the kettle, Pour boiling water into the thermos bottle next to it.

When Meng Zhe saw this scene, he frowned immediately. He saw that the old man was not really deaf, so he quickly covered Song Jiang's mouth, and then made a gesture of silencing him.

Song Jiang also understood Meng Zhe's meaning at this time, so he nodded lightly, and then looked into the room again... At this time, after the hunchbacked old man finished filling the water, he added a handful of firewood to the stove, and finally hummed He sat back at the table with the little song, continued to drink a sip of wine, and ate a peanut.

Now both Song Jiang and Meng Zhe can be sure that this hunchbacked old man is neither deaf nor dumb. As for why he pretends to be deaf and dumb...you can only find out by asking him, but there must be something in between. What a dark secret.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Meng Zhe suddenly walked to the door, raised his leg and kicked open the wooden door of the adobe house, then walked in swaggeringly, leaving Song Jiang standing there with his mouth open...

Sometimes Song Jiang is really uncertain about the brain circuit of our white tiger god, and just told him to keep silent, but now he kicked the door directly by himself? !The hunchbacked old man in the room was startled by the sudden sound, but when he turned around and saw Meng Zhe walking in, he immediately pretended to be deaf and dumb, and gestured at Meng Zhe...

Seeing this, Meng Zhe sneered, "Stop pretending to me, I know you are neither deaf nor dumb..."

The hunchbacked old man was stunned for a moment, as if he understood that he was being seen humming a ditty just now, so he smiled sideways and said, "Young man, isn't it impolite for you to break into my house suddenly?!"

At this time Song Jiang also ran into the house, and seeing the hunchbacked old man speak, he said with emotion, "Are you really pretending?!"

After hearing this, the hunchbacked old man laughed and said, "Life is like a play... But if you can live a good life, who would like to act every day? Young people, your parents never taught you to walk in the society, and finally don't expose people's faults in person. ?”

After the hunchbacked old man finished speaking, he pulled out a dagger from his waist and looked fiercely at Song Jiang and Meng Zhe, but he didn't take these two strong young men seriously at all...

Song Jiang has always advocated fighting with words and not fighting with martial arts, so he quickly said, "Uncle, uncle! We are not bad people, but we just want to ask you about some things. We don't need to use swords and guns like this... We can deal with this matter today." Just pretend you didn’t see anything, and you’re willing to pretend to be deaf and dumb and continue, and it has nothing to do with us? Don’t you think so?!”

Unexpectedly, the hunchbacked old man sneered, "I don't know if you are bad people...but I am, how can I easily let you know the secret I have hidden for more than ten years? Only the dead can keep the secret completely these days. "

Song Jiang was speechless immediately, so he said angrily, "Uncle, this is your fault. Since this is a secret you have hidden for more than ten years, why are you not careful? You said that we bumped into you now, How embarrassing each other!"

Meng Zhe said with a smile on his face at this moment, "Old man, I advise you to stay calm and do your best... Your old arms and legs are easy to break."

It is estimated that this hunchbacked old man was also the master who had seen the big rivers and waves when he was young. After hearing this, he didn't panic at all, but took off his coat slowly, revealing his lumpy flesh...
