The old beggar didn't finish his words, and I slammed his face directly with an angry fist.
This old guy's words are too exciting for me, I don't want to believe it is true.
The old beggar slapped my fist aside and said with a snort, "Can't accept this fact? Well, I ask you, do you know why your cheap grandfather hides you in a coffin? Do you? Know why you put this longevity lock on your body?"
"do not know!"
I stared at him with red eyes, gritted my teeth and said: "Even if he wants to harm me, he is also my grandfather, you stinky beggar dare to talk nonsense, I..."
"Smack~"
The old beggar slapped my head directly, and said in a deep voice, "Boy, be sober, the old fellow Zhou Zhenyao didn't adopt you with a kind heart, but just wanted to use you to prevent disasters! You have been so many years for today. I didn’t understand before, but now that I see this long-life lock, I’ve guessed it. I thought he had hidden you in the coffin because his conscience discovered that he didn’t want you to be involved. Now It seems... Hey!"
When he said this, the old beggar frowned slightly, looked at the other thing in the blue cloth bag in his hand, the folded parchment, and muttered something in a low voice, seeming to be puzzled.
"This thing should be something taken from the Lingnan ancient tomb. Zhou Zhenyao put this thing on your kid. Is it because he wanted to borrow your hand to return it to the guy just now... No! Zhou Zhenyao. The old fox couldn't compromise so easily!"
With that said, the old beggar opened the folded sheepskin scroll, and after just one glance, his pupils shrank suddenly, hurriedly closed, and wrapped it up with the longevity lock and stuffed it into my arms.
From the look of the old beggar, I could see that he was a little frightened, as if he saw something terrible.
Afterwards, the old beggar coughed slightly and said to me: "I know you don't believe Lao Tzu's words, it doesn't matter, you will understand when you return to the village after dawn! Just wait here now, don't go anywhere."
Without waiting for my response, the old beggar made a lightning strike and pressed the back of my neck.
There was a slight tingling sensation, and my body couldn't move anymore, and I couldn't speak.
The old beggar stretched his waist and fell asleep directly on the ground.
My mind was confused and I didn't want to believe what the old beggar said, but my doubts about Grandpa got deeper and deeper.
Grandpa told me that my parents died in a car accident when I was very young, but there is no such thing as a photo of my parents in the house.
What happened to the goddess, the weird scenes that happened in the past two days at home, etc., have changed my understanding of grandpa.
The grandfather who raised me since I was young is really not related to me by blood
He has raised me for so many years, really just to protect him from disasters
A little bit of time passed, and I stood here all night without closing my eyes. There was a group of nameless fire in my heart, and there was an urge to vent wildly.
At the beginning of the day, the old beggar who was sleeping suddenly turned over and pulled out the black needle on the back of my neck, pulled my cat by the waist and hid behind the big stone, looking towards the dirt pit.
There was a person standing beside the pit, it was my grandfather.
Grandpa's face is ugly, his clothes are a bit torn, there are still some blood stains on his body, and his left arm is simply bandaged, as if it were broken.
When I was about to shout, the old beggar covered my mouth and whispered in my ear: "Boy, don't say anything if you don't want to die."
The old beggar was so powerful that I couldn't get rid of it, so I could only watch Grandpa leave.
Grandpa didn't walk towards Yashui Village, but went in another direction, and soon disappeared.
"Let's go, go back to the village and take a look!"
Ignoring my struggle, the old beggar grabbed my arm and walked towards Yashui Village.
A thick smoke wafted from the direction of the village, and the village was noisy. I don't know what happened, but there was a little bad feeling in my heart.
After entering the village, I found out that my house was on fire. The fire was very strong.
The neighbors and folks helped put out the fire. Although the fire was finally brought under control, my home was gone, and most of it burned down.
I was stunned, my eyes were red, and I wanted to cry but couldn't cry, because the old beggar told me that Jiǔ was the grandfather of the fire.
"Yanzi, what's the matter? Why is your house on fire? Where's the old man?"
Zhou Dabao ran over first, ignoring the old beggar beside me, and asked eagerly.
Other villagers looked at me with pity in their eyes, and many people sighed, as if they thought that grandpa had suffered an accident at home.
The old beggar strode into the burnt-in ruins. I didn't say much to Dabao, so I hurried to follow in.
In the main room, there are a few burnt corpses, exuding a burnt smell.
Although these corpses had been burned beyond recognition, I could still vaguely recognize that they were the same people who came to my house last night.
They were obviously not burned to death. The necks of these people were all twisted, just like the big black dog and other domestic animals of the god-in-law’s family.
Dabao and other villagers who followed me exclaimed, yelling to call the police.
The old beggar touched the burnt corpses, found a few scaly objects, and put them directly into his pocket. Then he wandered around the hall again, seeming to be looking for something.
Dabao pulled me out of the main room, comforting me, and at the same time, asked me the origin of the burnt corpses in my room. They didn't look like my grandpa.
I shook my head, in a bad mood, even a little embarrassed, I didn't know what to say at this time.
After the old beggar walked out of the hall, he asked in front of the villagers onlookers: "Who met the parents of this kid Zhou Yan?"
Many people were taken aback and looked at the old beggar with weird eyes, not knowing the relationship between the old beggar and me.
Finally, Dabao's mother spoke, saying that the villagers had never seen my parents. Back then, my grandfather came to live in Yashui Village, holding me while I was still in my baby. At that time, I had eaten Dabao's mother's breast milk.
I never knew about this. What the old beggar said before Lenovo felt a little bit sad in my heart!
Could it be that I was really adopted by my grandfather
The old beggar didn't ask much, and took me to the outside.
"Where to go?"
I didn't struggle, I felt like a dead heart.
The only one of my dearest relatives is probably not related to me by blood, and the ultimate goal of nurturing these years is to use me...
At this point, I almost broke down.
Perhaps seeing the sorrow and sorrow in my heart, the old beggar whispered: "You don't want to know how your parents are now?"
A word, like a thunder in my ears, made me tremble suddenly.
I grabbed the old beggar's arm and yelled shortly, "Where are they? Tell me..."
"Leave here first!" The old beggar interrupted me bluntly.
After leaving Yashui Village, the old beggar took me straight to the northwest and came to a ruined temple more than ten miles away from Yashui Village.
No matter how I asked the old beggar about my parents, he just wouldn't tell me what to say now is not the time.
I doubted whether he was lying to me, but I still couldn't help but raise a glimmer of hope. I felt better because of my grandfather's dejection before.
The old beggar took out some dry food and bottled water from under the altar of the ruined temple, and asked me to eat something to rest. He said that he would take me to see my parents tonight.
I was so excited that after eating and drinking a little bit of food, I wished to leave immediately.
However, it may be due to the fact that he didn't sleep all night, his mind suddenly became drowsy, and it seemed to vaguely hear the old beggar muttering something like'bait', and fell directly to the ground and fell asleep.
I don't know how long I slept. When I woke up leisurely, I found that it was getting late. There were a few candles burning in the ruined temple, and the ruined temple looked a little gloomy.
I subconsciously wanted to get up, but at this moment, my body suddenly stiffened and I didn't dare to move.
"His hiss..."
I don't know when, a lot of snakes appeared in this ruined temple, surrounded by me, spitting out letters, as if preparing to eat a big meal.
My heart trembled, where are so many snakes here
Where is the old beggar
At this time, a faint sound of footsteps came from the entrance of the ruined temple, and a man appeared at the entrance of the ruined temple.
Half of his face was burnt and dry, one eye was shining with green light, and there were thin black scales on his arm, neck and face...
It turned out to be the snake man I saw last night! (End of this chapter)
