Reborn Craftsman

Chapter 711
"Is there really something unclean?" Sikong Lei was startled.

Maitekai and Zhumenghai on the side were also a little scared.

In their consciousness, this unclean thing must refer to zombies.

Liu Xing looked at their expressions and smiled, and didn't explain anything, but continued to play on the road ahead. Now that the blind trick has been cracked, it's time to go to the Zhuang patriarch's house.

Because it was night, the group stopped and went, and the speed was very slow.

But after an hour, they still arrived at the village where the Zhuang patriarch was located.

At the intersection, a burly villager was there to greet him.

Seeing that it was Sikong Lei who brought Liu Xing here, he was so happy that he quickly rang the bronze drum hanging on the jujube tree. With the sound of thump, thud, the villagers who lived in the village soon ran out, coming Gather at the intersection.

Among them, Patriarch Zhuang and his wife were also inside. When they saw that Liu Xing was coming, they hurriedly called the young people in the village to put wine on the table, and put the best wild pork on the table.

Although Liu Xing came to the village on foot, he was not hungry.

Seeing that the other villagers wanted to slaughter chickens and sheep, they hurriedly stepped forward to stop them, and at the same time took the hand of the Zhuang clan leader: "I came to you this time because I need your help with something very important. Take it easy for now!"

"What's the matter?" Patriarch Zhuang took out the dry tobacco and smoked it happily.

Liu Xing is a great benefactor in Xiangxi. If there is no Liu Xing, I am afraid that there will not be electric lights in the village. Although it is still not up to the standard of well-off, it is caused by the backward geographical environment of Xiangxi. He does not wrong anyone. .

"This..." Liu Xing waved to the restrained Zhu Menghai: "Don't just stand there! Come and talk to Clan Chief Zhuang."

"Hey! Here we come." Zhu Menghai hurriedly ran to Liu Xing's side in a daze, and sat down quickly after seeing the long bench brought by two village women.

Liu Xing also sat down, and just about to talk, several children in the village brought him rice wine and peanuts, and one of the skinny girls brought him a bowl of good tea ears.

This tea ear is a wild game snack that cannot be stored. It must be eaten on the day it is picked. The fact that a skinny girl can give the tea ear to Liu Xing shows how high Liu Xing holds in her heart.

Sikong Lei looked a little envious.

The same goes for Little Peanut and Qianqian.

In order to have tea ears, the two of them quickly sat aside obediently.

But Liu Xing couldn't be happy, because he really didn't expect it.

After he left Xiangxi, the Zhuang patriarch's village would still be so poor and backward.

Because the living conditions of those who can use tea ears as snacks are definitely not much better.

When he was a child, in order to fill his stomach, he wandered around the tea hills in the village all day long, picking tea ears to satisfy his hunger.

But Liu Xing didn't say this, but looked at the skinny girl softly: "Are you studying now? Who is there at home?"

"She is an orphan, she is almost ten years old today, she has no money to study at all!" Seeing that the skinny girl was very shy, the patriarch Zhuang was too shy to speak, so he coughed lightly to help answer.

Liu Xing shook his head when he heard the words, but he didn't continue the topic. Instead, he picked up the tea ears in the bowl and ate them. After eating a few slices, he said, "Patriarch Zhuang, if you have any problems in the village in the future, you can ask her to help you solve them." , I believe she has the ability."

Liu Xing pointed to Zhu Menghai, with seriousness in his words.

"She is..." Patriarch Zhuang looked at Zhu Menghai, at first he only glanced politely, but after seeing his face clearly, he almost cried out in shock.

Zhu Menghai was also a little nervous, and when he found that the surrounding villagers were looking at her curiously, he quickly lowered his head.

Liu Xingdao: "She was adopted by a couple from Country F 20 years ago. As for the place where she was adopted, it was in the west of Hunan. I was entrusted by her to come to you, just to ask if you were taken away back then. daughter."

"This is absolutely not." The wife of the patriarch Zhuang in red said repeatedly.

"Yes, I'm sure too." Patriarch Zhuang continued.

"Then why does she look so similar to your wife?" Liu Xing pointed to Zhu Menghai.

It is undeniable that Zhu Menghai is very beautiful.

Although the wife of the patriarch Zhuang is old, she still has charm.

If they dress up well, they will definitely look like mother and daughter standing together with Zhu Menghai.

The wife of the patriarch Zhuang also noticed it, and she asked Zhu Menghai in surprise: "I don't know the girl's name, is there any imprint left on her body?"

"My name is Zhu Menghai. This is the name given by my parents in country F. As for the imprint." Zhu Menghai rolled up his sleeves, revealing the bamboo god pattern on his arm: "Does this count?"

"You...you..." Patriarch Zhuang's wife stared wide-eyed, unable to utter a word in astonishment for a while.

Patriarch Zhuang was also very surprised. The dry pipe in his hand almost fell to the ground because of his surprise. After looking around, he took Liu Xing and walked to a place where there was no one.

Zhu Menghai wanted to follow, but was stopped by the wife of the patriarch Zhuang: "Girl, don't go there, it's better for Liu Xing to help with some things, we just wait."

"Oh!" Zhu Menghai nodded.

Seeing that the children around her were all looking at her curiously, she immediately handed out the candies and biscuits she brought.

Seeing this, Maitekai smiled and brought the bodyguards around him to help.

Under a tree with a crooked neck.

Patriarch Zhuang stopped in his tracks, but his expression was a little dignified.

Liu Xing saw it: "If you have something to say, just say it, don't beat around the bush."

"This girl named Zhu Menghai, if I'm not mistaken, is the child of my wife's sister. Back then... back then..." At this point, Patriarch Zhuang sighed and couldn't continue.

"What happened back then?" Liu Xing asked.

"At the Southwest Mountain in Western Hunan, there were also foreigners who came here to explore the Bamboo God Cave. Among them, Zhu Menghai's mother lived at the foot of the Southwest Mountain and became a foreigner's guide. I remember that was 19 years ago. Now, Zhu Menghai must have been unborn at that time!" The patriarch Zhuang took up the dry tobacco, and after taking a few puffs, he continued: "But the good times don't last long. After about half a year, the Southwest Something happened to the mountain, many foreigners died, Zhu Menghai's mother also died there, I thought her fetus was also buried in the southwest, but now it seems that this is not the case at all!"

"That is to say, based on his appearance and Zhu Menghai's age, you deduce that Zhu Menghai is your wife's sister's child?" Liu Xing asked following his train of thought.

"Hmm." Patriarch Zhuang nodded.

"Then what if it's not?" Liu Xing expressed his thoughts.

After all, there are many people who look alike in this world, if Zhu Menghai is the child of other villagers in western Hunan, it will be a big trouble.

"There is no such possibility. My wife's elder sister is the descendant of the Bamboo God. She is proficient in the art of finding dragons and dividing gold. If it were not for this reason, those foreigners might not be able to find the entrance to the Bamboo God's cave." Zhuang Patriarch whispered back.

"So that's how it is!" Liu Xing suddenly realized, but suddenly he couldn't understand the behavior of the patriarch Zhuang: "Since you are so sure that Zhu Menghai is the child of your wife and sister, why didn't you recognize him immediately? Pull me here to talk?"

"Hehe... Maybe you don't know that it is impossible for a person who has the technique of searching for dragons and dividing gold to have offspring. If I recognize Zhu Menghai, wouldn't it be harming her?" Patriarch Zhuang explained with a wry smile.

"You are too superstitious. Even if what you said is true, it will not harm Zhu Menghai, because her surname is not Zhuang, nor does it have the same surname as your wife, but Zhu." Liu Xing said helplessly.

"That's right." Patriarch Zhuang thought for a while, and felt that what Liu Xing said made sense.

If it is true that he said that he knows how to find dragons and divide gold without descendants, then it is impossible for Zhu Menghai to live healthy and healthy until now.

As soon as the knot in his heart was untied, Patriarch Zhuang was so excited that he turned around and walked towards the intersection.

But Liu Xing stretched out his hand to hold him: "Don't rush to leave, I have other things to ask you!"

"Say it." Patriarch Zhuang listened with a smile.

Liu Xing said: "On the way back to the village, I encountered several coffins on the road. What's going on?"

"Ah?" Patriarch Zhuang looked at Liu Xing in confusion.

"You don't believe what I said?" Liu Xing suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"It's not that I don't believe what you say, but I go to the town office building from the mountain road almost every day to do business, and I have never encountered the coffin you mentioned!" Patriarch Zhuang said doubtfully.

If so, he wouldn't hide it at all.

Liu Xing frowned upon hearing this: "Did a lot of people die in the village recently? Because of road construction."

"This... how do you know?" Patriarch Zhuang asked nervously.

"In the coffins I met, several of the corpses inside were villagers from the village, and some of them hadn't rotted yet!" Liu Xing replied with a wry smile.

Patriarch Zhuang was silent, and only then did he know that Liu Xing was not joking with him.

There must be something unclean on the mountain road leading to the outside.

He didn't meet it doesn't mean he didn't.

"Hey! Let's not talk about this for now, let's go and recognize Zhu Menghai! At that time, I will help to talk about it, and let the people in the village move out of this area, which should prevent weird things from happening." Liu Xing expressed his thoughts.

As for the possibility that the ground of the village is the area of ​​the Zhushen Cave, he didn't say it because there was no evidence.

Patriarch Zhuang thought that Liu Xing was perfunctory to him, so he didn't take it seriously after smiling, but put away the dry smoke and ran towards the intersection.

Liu Xing followed behind.

But he didn't get involved in the matter of admitting relatives.

Instead, he took Little Peanut and Qianqian and asked the villagers for a clean bamboo building to rest.

Drowsy and soon fell asleep.

I thought he wouldn't be able to sleep for long in the village.

But after waking up, he realized that it was already dawn outside.

Little Peanut and Qianqian, who were sleeping beside him, had long since disappeared.

I ran out and saw that I was playing with other children in the village.

Liu Xing heaved a sigh of relief, seeing that Zhu Menghai and Mai Tekai were nowhere to be seen, he walked towards Sikong Lei: "How is the matter of their confession last night going?"
