Chapter 105: The Strong Man 4

Qin Changqing said that he had sat down, but no one was sent the next day.

After several people finished washing up, Jiang Yun approached Wang Yu and whispered: "Why don't we go, it's not a big deal to stay here."

"I know you are in a hurry to go to Jianzhong, but it's not a day or two. And since they show their sincerity, how can we live up to this trust?"

Wang Yu refused to agree. It was only a few days before. If he was just to rush the road, the journey across the north and south of the Great Zhou Dynasty would be too long.

"You don't have to be too anxious. This long time has passed, what can I do if I wait a little longer?" He patted Jiang Yun's shoulder and whispered: "Sincere feelings are like fine wine. The more you collect it, the more you will feel aftertaste when you take it out."

"Oh, wait."

Jiang Yun sighed, turned around and returned to the room, threw himself on the bed and covered him with a quilt, and refused to speak.

"An Zhi and I are going to stroll around the village. Aren't you going to be together?" Wang Yu asked while standing outside.

"No, I'm not in the mood!"

The two brothers looked at each other, closed the door, and left the yard.

The small village is not big, and it only takes a meal to walk from south to north.

After a while, they walked all over the village. What made Wang Yu curious was that the villagers here did not go out to work, but stayed at home.

Some were packing things, while some were sitting in the fenced yard, without saying anything, and sat for a long time.

Some people even heard bursts of crying when passing by their door.

"Senior brother, this village is not right."

Chen Anzhi whispered: "When I was collecting herbs outside Hangzhou City, I passed by some small villages, but they were all very busy, most of them were in the fields and rarely stayed at home all day."

Wang Yu remembered Qin Changqing's words yesterday and had some vague speculations. He did not say it, but touched Chen Anzhi's little head and said, "This is someone's private matter, let's stay at peace for two days."

They were about to walk back when they met Zhao Erdi on the way.

Compared to yesterday, this strong youth looked much gloomy, his face was heavy, and he could not see any smile.

"Two guests, although the village chief has allowed you to walk around at will, I will still keep an eye on you. I hope you don't do stupid things."

"No, no."

Wang Yu smiled, "Little brother, what happened to you here? Why are they all frowning?"

Chen Anzhi rolled his eyes on the side and thought to himself that he would not meddle in other people's business, and he didn't know who was the most curious.

Zhao Erdi said coldly: "It's not your business. Stay well and you'll have nothing to do. If you are not honest, don't blame me for being rude."

Wang Yu shrugged helplessly, pulled Chen Anzhi and was about to leave. Zhao Erji suddenly called them.

"Wait, my grandfather wants to see you."

"oh?"

Wang Yu stopped, "That's the one who lived in your family at the age of 85?"

"Yes, come with me."

The two of them were fine anyway, so they followed behind to Zhao Erdi's house.

Compared to the houses they live in, it is much more financially damaged. Many places have been peeled off on the walls made of mud bricks, and the roofs are paved with thatch. From a distance, it gives people a sense of desolation.

Wang Yu couldn't help asking, "Why don't you renovate the house? The walls are leaking."

Zhao Erdi pushed open the door and replied without looking back: "Grandpa is not allowed."

The three of them entered the room and saw an old man half lying on the bed.

He heard the movement and opened his eyes hard, "Look, come out first, I'll talk to the two guests."

Zhao Erdi glared at Wang Yu, then turned around and left.

The old man supported the bed board with his hands and sat upright. He turned his head and half-squinted his eyes, and said hoarsely: "The two guests were wronged yesterday, don't be surprised. Some things are forced to do so."

"It's just that I'm tied up for a delicious meal, and it's not a loss for a deal."

Wang Yu replied with a smile. Chen Anzhi was a little afraid of the old man on the bed, so he hid behind after coming in.

"Hehe, it's great that you can think so." The old man smiled and wanted to say something, but suddenly coughed violently, his voice was very shrill.

Looking at his breathless look, it seemed like he was going to die the next moment.

Zhao Erdi, who was outside the door, rushed in quickly and gently patted his back with his hands. It took him a while to recover.

"Why are you coming in? Go out!" The old man widened his eyes and scolded his grandson: "Didn't you ask you to wait outside? I don't listen to my words!?"

Zhao Erdi hesitated and said, "But you..."

"Even if I die in bed the next moment, don't come in before the two guests go out!"

The old man seemed a little unkind at this time, especially with the chicken-skinned crane, his eyes were muddy, like an evil ghost.

Zhao Erdi had no choice but to go out.

After the old man recovered from his senses, he said to Wang Yu again: "Compared to you, we are survivors of Chu."

"Well, I already knew when I saw that Mr. Qin yesterday."

"Oh, the Chu people are fierce and would rather break than bend. At the beginning of war in several countries, the king was forced to face pressure and went to war with the other three countries at the same time. In the end, Ji Thief took advantage of it."

The old man looked at the roof and recalled: "At that time, the 500,000 soldiers of Chu State were completely wiped out in the wars. I was a veteran who came down from the battlefield and fought for Chu State for the rest of my life. I had no credit and worked hard."

"Well, why did the old man tell me this? Moreover, this is the first time we meet. If I say I am a passerby, you believe it? What if it is a bad guy with a bad intention?"

Wang Yu was a little confused by this inexplicable trust. Is this old man in bed confused? He told a stranger about this.

"Haha, I have no other skills in my life, but I am very accurate in judging people. Actually, when you came yesterday, I was watching. It would be better if the boy who didn't come mentioned it, but you can trust him."

"Okay OK, even if I can make you trust, what's the purpose of saying this to me?"

The old man suddenly fell silent and said after a long time, "I hope you will take Er Di away together when you leave."

"Huh? Why?" Wang Yu Daqi, he never expected that the other party would make such a request.

The old man stiffened his face and said coldly: "I have been with Chu for most of my life. I don't want to give up my grandson. I ask for a way out for my grandson. What's wrong?"

"You have to let him agree to this matter yourself, right?"

"He dared not disagree." The old man coughed lightly for a few times, and forced himself to hold it back, "There is a box under my bed, you can take it out."

Wang Yu acted as he said and found a black wooden box under the bed.

The old man took the box, placed it on his thighs, and opened it with his hands trembling.

Wang Yu and Chen Anzhi looked out and saw a strange weapon that looked like a sword but not a sword, or a dagger but not a dagger.

"Just promise me, this is yours."
