The Mysterious Recovery of the Forgotten World

Chapter 40 The Old Man During the Republic of China
The old man's words immediately caught Li Leping's attention.

He hurriedly asked: "Oh? Master, you have to tell us about this."

The uncle shook his head, and said unwillingly: "After all, this is a person from the village, and it concerns other people's privacy, so I don't want to talk nonsense."

"--"

Li Leping didn't speak, but gave Lu Sheng a look.

Immediately, Lu Sheng took out two banknotes from his wallet, and handed over the money without feeling too much pain.

In the blink of an eye, the banknotes were gone.

The power of money made the old man's face overflow with a happy smile for a moment, and then he decisively betrayed his principles and said, "Well, it's actually not a big deal."

"Go straight in that direction. It will take about seven or eight miles." The old man stretched out his thin fingers and pointed them in the direction.

"There is an old-fashioned wooden house over there, which is the residence of a strange old man. I haven't seen him for a long time. Some people from the village have visited his house before, but they have never seen anyone." The old man whispered.

"Strange old man?" Li Leping asked, "Why do you call him strange old man?"

The old man waved his hand: "Anyway, that person is very old. I have seen him since I can remember. He was already in his 20s at that time. Since my parents' generation, that person seldom met with the villagers. He built a wooden house near the village, and I don’t know what he does..."

"Master." Lu Sheng suddenly interrupted the old man's narration.

Immediately afterwards, he said in a tone of disbelief: "Don't fool me, I think you will be more than 90 this year. According to what you said, isn't the old man in the wooden house estimated to be [-] years old?" How old are you?"

"How does the young man talk? Old man, although I am old, my mind is still not confused." The old man was a little unhappy, and knocked hard on the crutch in his hand.

Li Leping glared at Lu Sheng: "Don't make noise."

Afterwards, he looked at the old man and said very politely: "Master, don't be angry, he is not educated and ignorant, you can continue talking."

Vaguely, Li Leping felt that he had grasped a certain key point.

An old man over 90 years old is converted into a person born in the Republic of China...

Could this mission involve stories from the Republic of China period?

Li Leping frowned, feeling a little uncertain.

"Cough cough."

The old man didn't notice the change in Li Leping's face, but pretended to cough a few times, and then continued: "Speaking of which, I didn't intend to say how strange that person is, in fact, his whole body gives people a kind of Very uncomfortable feeling."

"I have been in the village for more than 60 years, but I haven't met him a few times. I only occasionally see him from a distance when I go to work in the fields, and he doesn't come to the village. He just stayed in his wooden house, and he didn’t know what he was doing. He wouldn’t show up when there were activities in the village, or when he was going out to buy supplies. He has a cold, uninvited appearance, so the people in Qingshi Village, even the elderly like us, are not familiar with him."

"I see." Li Leping touched his chin and nodded.

Afterwards, he was a little puzzled and said, "Master, since you said that the old man in the wooden house was a very lonely person, how did you know that he was missing?"

"Isn't it last month's vacation? Some young people came back. Some of them were more courageous, and they were mixed together since they were young. I heard that they were doing something outside... Live broadcast? Anyway, it's cloudy I don't know much about it." The old man didn't hide anything, and told Li Leping directly.

"These people are also very aggressive. As soon as they came back, they ran to the wooden house, saying that they wanted to start a live broadcast, and went to those eerie and remote places. Only in this way can they attract attention, attract attention, and make a lot of money."

"People of my age can't quite understand what the words they said mean, but when they came back from the wooden house, they said that the house had accumulated dust, and it seemed that it had been there for a while. No one took care of it, that is, no one lived in it." The old man said.

"That's it..." After thanking the old man, Li Leping dragged Lu Sheng to the other side.

"How to say?" Lu Sheng looked at him and said.

"The problem should be related to the old man in the wooden house." Li Leping guessed.

"Are you so sure?" Lu Sheng disagreed with his guess.

"Isn't he just an old man, why don't he live longer?" Lu Sheng said bluntly.

Li Leping glanced at him, not interested in arguing with Lu Sheng.

As a folk ghost master like Lu Sheng, even if he insisted on giving him a layer of identity, he would be nothing more than a mercenary at the Annan Nightclub, and the information he knew was always limited.

To put it simply, he is a stunned young man who doesn't know what the word "Republic of China" means for the era of spiritual recovery.

But for Li Leping, the age of the old man in that wooden house is something he dare not ignore.

An old man who can be traced back to the early Republic of China, coupled with the appointment of the ghost studio, it is difficult for Li Leping not to connect the two.

In my memory, although the ending of the original book has not been revealed yet, in the mysteriously revived world, the period of the Republic of China is the biggest mystery.

Many things left over from that era are unimaginable in this era.

For example, in that era, a "ghost master" who was a ghost in the womb was created, which is now the mascot of the headquarters, Mr. Qin.

However, if this incident involved people from the period of the Republic of China, then Li Leping would be a little at a loss.

With my current level, if I confront the ghost masters from the Republic of China period, or the ghosts left over from the Republic of China period, it will definitely be a dead end.

The deadly kind.

"Hello? Hallo? Are you OK?"

Lu Sheng suddenly yelled next to him, then said a few words in foreign language, pushed his shoulder, and waved his hand in front of him.

"what's up?"

"What is it? I think you are almost out of your body like this. If you don't know, you might think you were attacked by a ghost."

Li Leping rolled his eyes and waved his hands, indicating that he is in good condition and there is no problem.

"So? What are we doing now, go and have a look in that room?" Lu Sheng asked.

Although he didn't understand why Li Leping cared so much about an old man in his 90s, he knew that people like Li Leping must know much more than him.

It's better to follow the elder brother than to be in front of him.

"No." Li Leping didn't choose to go to the old man's cabin immediately.

"Let's go and see the child who drowned first." He quickly made a choice.
