The fat man didn't say anything and followed closely.
I was not walking slowly, but the fat man was walking faster. When I felt that he was about to catch up with me, I suddenly stopped and turned around suddenly.
"Fat man!" I shouted softly.
The fat man immediately stopped and looked at me in surprise.
I stared at the fat man, and the fat man looked at me.
"Fat man, let me ask you a question, and you answer me honestly."
"What's the problem?" the fat man asked.
I pondered for a moment and then asked: "Do you remember the name of the boy sitting in front of you in your senior year of high school?"
The fat man was slightly startled, "The one sitting in front of me?"
"Yes, do you remember who it is??"
"Are you not mistaken? When did a boy sit in front of me?" The fat man looked at me in surprise.
But I couldn't help but feel a little moved in my heart, because I asked this on purpose, and there was indeed no boy sitting in front of the fat man.
"Oh, maybe I remembered it wrong. Do you still remember the name of the girl in front of you?"
"Of course I remember, Lin Wanbei!" said the fat man.
This time I was even more stunned. I thought he would hesitate or not be able to answer at all, but what I didn't expect was that he answered in one breath.
"What's wrong?" The fat man looked at me with confusion.
"Nothing, let's go!"
After saying this, I turned around and walked towards the camp, but I couldn't help but hesitate a little. Could it be that I was overthinking?
But just now I clearly felt a different aura from the fat man, so I came up with this method to test him.
But I didn't expect that the fat man's answer was accurate at all. Even my deliberately confusing words were corrected by him, which made me feel uneasy in an instant!
Moreover, there was nothing wrong with the expression on the fat man's face at this moment, and I couldn't even feel the different aura on his body.
Could it be that I am really overthinking it?
But why do I always feel a little uneasy?
I shook my head, turned around and walked out of the woods.
By this time Huzi had already set up his tent, and the Chen family's tent was right next to ours.
Not far away were the Zhou family and the Japs. The distance between them was only a few dozen meters.
It seems that they do not plan to enter the ancient city of Fenghuang tonight.
Chen Kainan was standing in front of the tent. When he saw me coming out of the woods, he immediately walked towards me.
"Brother Zhang, where have you been? I have something to talk to you about."
"What's the matter? Tell me!" I asked calmly.
Chen Kainan nodded, and then motioned for me to go into the tent to talk in detail.
"Tell me what you have to say!" I looked at him and said.
Chen Kainan hesitated slightly, then gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Zhang, we are going to Fenghuang Ancient City tomorrow. There is something I want to confirm with you."
"You want to ask me if I am really helping you?" I glanced at him and asked.
Chen Kainan did not deny it, and nodded simply, "Brother Zhang, please don't be offended. After all, we met by chance. I want to know what your real purpose is?"
"I said, I came here for the thousand-year-old Paulownia tree, don't you believe me?" I said.
Chen Kainan frowned slightly, obviously not believing what I said.
"Why, are you doubting me?" My face turned slightly cold.
Chen Kainan glanced at me. Although he didn't speak, silence is the best answer.
Seeing him like this, I suddenly felt a little unhappy. I tried to help him with good intentions, but I didn't expect him to be suspicious of me. If it weren't for the sake of the old lady and my mother, I would really be too lazy to talk nonsense with him!
"Whether you believe it or not, this is your business and has nothing to do with me. As for your worries, I can tell you clearly. Since I promised you, I will definitely help you. If there is nothing else, I will first
gone."
After saying this, I turned around and walked outside without even looking at Chen Kainan.
"Brother Zhang, that's not what I meant. It's just that there are some things that I need to understand before I can rest assured. After all, this is a matter of life and death." Chen Kainan chased after him.
I paused slightly and stopped. My heart was slightly touched, and my expression softened a lot.
To be honest, this sentence touched me to a certain extent. After all, he went to such great lengths to get the Phoenix Flower just to save his sister-in-law, who is my mother.
From this point on, I decided to have a serious talk with him.
"You just have to speak frankly. It will also help our cooperation tomorrow." I said.
Seeing my expression softening, Chen Kainan couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
"Since Brother Zhang said this, I won't hide it anymore. Some of the words may not sound too nice. I'll explain it to you first, but I do have a question in my heart. I've always wanted to ask you. Since
You said you sincerely helped me, but why do I feel that you are always slightly hostile to me? It's as if I have done something to feel sorry for you."
I was slightly stunned, I didn’t expect Chen Kainan’s senses to be so sharp!
"Brother Zhang, don't get me wrong. It's not that I don't believe you. After all, you saved my grandma's life. I just want to know the reason. Just think of me as a petty person." Chen Kainan said.
Looking at Chen Kainan's serious face, I sighed secretly in my heart. It seems that if he doesn't explain the matter clearly today, he must have some grudge in his heart, which will not be conducive to our actions tomorrow.
The matter was related to my mother's life and death. Even if I was 100 times unwilling, I could only find a way to explain it to him clearly.
But how do I find the perfect excuse?
Tell him that I am his cousin? There is a grudge between me and your grandfather!
This is obviously impossible, but other than that, I really can't find a suitable explanation!
These children from big families are really annoying. They don't have much ability, but they are quite clever. Each city is more sophisticated than the other. I feel very tired when interacting with them.
Just when I was getting upset, the curtain of the tent was opened from the outside, and the figure of Mrs. Chen appeared outside the tent.
Chen Kainan quickly called his grandma and hurried up to help the old lady, but he didn't expect that the old lady just rolled his eyes and pushed him away.
"Get out of my way."
"What's wrong? Grandma!" Chen Kainan looked at the old man in astonishment. He didn't understand why the old lady was angry with him.
"What did you say? Do you want to make me angry to death?" The old lady glared at her grandson.
"You brat, please listen to me. You can doubt anyone, but you can't doubt him!"
"Why, grandma?" Chen Kainan looked at Old Mrs. Chen dissatisfied.
"Why, why do you say?"
The old lady looked at me, her eyes suddenly turned red, tears streaming down her face, she raised her crutch and pointed at me, and her tone became excited, "Do you know who he is?"
