Chapter 99 See the Patriarch

Three days later, when I woke up in the morning, the autumn rain finally stopped.

The dark clouds parted, revealing some dazzling brilliance.

Shen Qi has been able to move around these few days, and after changing the medicine on her body, she also took a good bath and changed her clothes.

This morning, it was the first time she opened the wooden door.

With the sound of squeaks, before Shen Qi had time to see the whole picture of where she lived, she was held by the oncoming young man and turned around.

"What's wrong with you?"

Shen Qi shook her head: "Everything is fine, she is slowly recovering, she can walk around and doesn't want to lie down all the time."

"I thought it wrong. You have breakfast first. After eating, I will take you to say hello to the patriarch."

As he spoke, Wu Ling took out a bowl of minced vegetable soup and some potato cakes from the basket.

Since I said that day, although her food is not as delicate as before, it is not bad.

Shen Qi was not pretentious, while eating, she heard Wu Ling say: "Actually, the patriarch is also my grandfather, we just go to say hello, you don't have to be too restrained."

Foreign visitors, go and say hello to the patriarch, this is what should be done.

From the very beginning, she guessed that Wu Ling's status in the clan might not be low.

There is no boy who has specially assigned a wolf as a mount.

And this wolf seems to be very old.

Is the patriarch grandpa? Shen Qi thought of this and smiled: "Okay."

After eating pancakes, she followed Wu Ling, and after walking for less than half a minute, she came to a wooden house.

Taking advantage of this half minute, she also took a clear look at the environment she was in.

This place is very secluded and quiet. Not surprisingly, it should be at the foot of a mountain. From a distance, you can see a canyon with a line of sky.

Dozens of wooden houses were built not far and near, standing on the ground, each of which was only about ten square meters.

Here, I don't know how far it is from the guards.

"You know Hei Chong, right?" Wu Ling talked to her.

"I know." Shen Qi looked at the ground: "But it doesn't seem to be here."

Wu Ling also glanced at the soil mixed with scale: "It's not that there are none, there were in the first place, they are all-pervasive, and later we found that smoked wormwood can drive them away, but there will still be some, but it happened a few days ago After a few rains, these black worms seemed to disappear overnight."

Suddenly disappear overnight?
This is impossible.

Shen Qi knew there was a problem just by thinking about it.

"Do you know where these black bugs come from?" she asked.

Wu Ling shook his head, he really didn't know this.

Shen Qi's expression became a little serious, because she thought of a possibility.

Just when he was about to say something, Wu Ling knocked on a door with a smile: "Grandpa, Miss Shen is here to see you."

Shen Qi stopped talking at the right time.

"come in."

A majestic and old voice sounded from inside the door.

Wu Ling pushed open the door and smiled at her: "Let's go."

Shen Qi is not a hypocritical person, and she is not afraid of this, she followed Wu Ling into the door, and saw an old man with a white beard sitting on a stool, holding a hemp rope in his hand, tying bamboo baskets.

She was the first to speak: "Patriarch, I've been bothering you these days."

The old man put down his work, raised his head, looked at Shen Qi with a pair of cloudy old eyes, and the creases on his face didn't move at all.

This is not an old man who loves to laugh, his expression is even a bit serious.

Shen Qi stood and let him look at her, her pupils never shrank a bit.

Is this the self-confidence of the people in the barrier? The old man sighed in his heart, and he lost a lot just at the starting point.

People who carry their own light are eye-catching everywhere.

"You were brought back by Boy Ling, and he took care of all your responses, and there is no such thing as trouble."

Shen Qi raised her eyebrows, not sure what the patriarch was thinking.

She said: "After all, I borrowed your place."

The old man glanced at her with his eyelids closed, and then said, "Sit down."

Wu Ling immediately supported Shen Qi, found a stool and sat down. After the old man saw it, he held his breath again.

This stinky boy!

He simply chased people away: "Don't be afraid here, go and pour a glass of water for the guests."

After hearing this, Wu Ling lowered his head to look at Shen Qi, and saw Shen Qi nodding to him.

"Would Grandpa want a drink?"

Seeing this interaction, the old man felt even more suffocated: "No need."

Seeing someone going out, Shen Qi rested her chin and looked at the old man whose hands were still resting: "You have something to tell me."

She used an affirmative sentence, and she knew it from the moment Wu Ling was dismissed.

Although she lived alone for ten years in the last days, she didn't know anything about human affairs.

The old man was amazed by her agility, but his face remained calm: "How old is the little girl?"

"eighteen."

Ah, at such a young age, you have such a mind, and you are well-behaved, no wonder your grandson misses it.

Can……

"Although Boy Ling didn't say where you came from, why don't you let the old man guess, the girl is a barrier person."

There is a natural ravine that cannot be crossed between the barrier and the wilderness.

Facing the old man, Shen Qi didn't fool him like Wu Ling did before: "Yes, coming from the barrier."

She will always be unable to escape from the barrier, not to mention the original owner's birth, even the original owner's mother, it is impossible for her to let go.

The old man nodded, and then said in a calm tone: "The girl is a smart person, you know our identities without mentioning our identities. Since the girl is a barrier person, what do you think of us scavengers?"

This problem, probably changing a person back and forth, may cause profound conflicts.

But Shen Qi wouldn't, she wasn't really born with barriers, and the deep-rooted thoughts of the original owner couldn't affect her at all.

At most, let her understand one sentence, the prejudice in people's hearts is a mountain that cannot be removed.

"To be honest, I know that the barrier people have a deep prejudice against you." Shen Qi said slowly, as if she was talking about something unimportant.

But before the old man changed color, she changed the subject: "But I don't think so."

"Oh?" The old man put down his work.

Shen Qi thought for a while: "Birth and environment are different, but people are the same, the process is how to live, and the end is death."

If it wasn't inappropriate, Shen Qi probably just wanted to sum it up in one sentence: died early in the morning.

The old man was obviously taken aback by these words.

He stared at Shen Qi's eyes, those almond eyes were clear, but when he looked closely, it seemed that there was endless desolation.

The little girl in my life summed up the meaning of life in this way.

The ending is a death.

The old man twitched the corners of his mouth rarely, and the creases on his face moved accordingly: "Your thinking is too pessimistic."

Shen Qi couldn't deny it: "I just told the truth."

The old man continued: "So you have no prejudice against scavengers?"

Shen Qi shook her head, because she was also a scavenger: "If life is not forced, no one wants to be a scavenger. I only have prejudice against those who want to harm me."

If you only listen to the first half of the sentence, the old man will probably feel that this person is dishonest, because he is deeply involved in it and only wants to please.

But the last sentence showed the little girl's understanding of human nature.
