Chapter 398: The Story of a Group Photo

During the time we waited for the Great Wizard to summon, our days were very leisurely, and Xu Ruohui was already familiar with it here, she led me to the neighborhood every day to enjoy the so-called beautiful scenery, and then asked me a lot about the outside.

On my side, I also report good news and not bad news.

On this day, the two of us walked on the bamboo forest path behind the mountain, with Rabbit and Awei following behind. Of course, there is also the Jin Dan who has been sticking to Aviru.

Probably already familiar with Jin Dan, the rabbit fish didn't eat it, but played with it and became friends.

I often joke about the rabbit rays and say that Aferi is Jin Dan's mother, and the rabbit rays are Jin Dan's aunt.

Xu Ruohui also likes Jin Dan very much, but it's a pity that Jin Dan can't get acquainted with people, and so far only Ah Wei and Rabbit can get close to it.

After walking on this path for a while, Xu Ruohui suddenly said: "First year of junior high school, it's been half a month, that big wizard should be going to talk to you, after talking, you should leave again." ”

I know that Xu Ruohui has a lot of reluctance in her heart, but she is not the only one. It's the same in my heart.

When Xu Ruohui was saying this, the rabbit who was playing with Jin Dan also suddenly stopped, and then ran to me and Xu Ruohui and danced in front of Xu Ruohui for a while.

I can understand it this time without Ah Weiwei's translation, it means to let Xu Ruohui follow us. ёǐ.сОМ

Xu Ruohui smiled, bent down and touched the rabbit's head and said, "I want to too, but it's not the time yet, give me another half a year." At that time, I will definitely be able to fully grasp the method of controlling the Blood Mother Gu King, and with the Gu King by my side, I will have the ability to act with you. ”

I also smiled next to me and said, "I really hope that day will come soon." ”

And at this time, a black beetle suddenly flew towards us, I thought we were going to be attacked by Gu worms. Immediately pinched his anger and prepared to fight the Gu worm.

Xu Ruohui grabbed my hand and said, "On the first day of junior high school, don't fight, this is a Gu worm in the village that sends letters." ”

Saying that, Xu Ruohui stretched out her hand, and the Gu worm also fell into Xu Ruohui's hand, after it landed on Xu Ruohui's hand, it kept shaking its wings, and after shaking for a while, it flew away again.

Xu Ruohui said to me: "On the first day of the first month, that Gu worm said that the great wizard asked us to go back to the village, and he was going to summon you and Wang Daochang." ”

Finally, I waited.

I nodded and walked with Xu Ruohui in the direction of the village, and when I was about to reach the village, Xu Ruohui pulled my arm and said: "On the first day of junior high school, my right eye is beating badly, I shouldn't have anything to do in the village, I guess you may encounter any danger." If the Great Wizard hands over a troublesome case to you, don't rush to take it, think about your own strength. ”

I nodded and said, "Hmm." ”

When I arrived at the village, Wang Junhui was already waiting for me at the door, and I asked Li Yajing where he was, and he said that he went back to the house to rest.

After we met, Xu Ruohui also led Rabbit Fish, Ah Wei Wei and Jin Dan back to the room first, while Wang Junhui and I went to the wooden building where the great wizard was.

When we went, a man from the village led us, and he took us not to the wooden building where the great wizard usually lived, but to a bamboo building that looked old, but was very sturdy.

The bamboo building is divided into two floors, the first floor is empty, and there are a lot of bamboo baskets and other bamboo products and miscellaneous items piled up in it, and in the middle of those bamboo baskets, I vaguely saw some strange bamboo frames, some like animals, some like people.

We went up the stairs from the side of it. Upstairs, we saw that the door of the room in the main hall was open, and the great wizard of Miao Village was sitting on a futon in the middle of the hall, with a skull and a cane thrown aside, and an old brown paper bag in his hand, which was some years old in terms of appearance and damage.

When we saw the Great Wizard, Wang Junhui and I respectfully saluted him, and the Great Wizard did not turn his head, but ordered the man to stand down, and then let us in, and sat down on the two futons next to him.

After Wang Junhui and I sat down, we found that the great wizard's eyes were closed.

I've been living here for a long time, and I've long wanted to know what the Great Wizard is looking for us, so after sitting down cross-legged, I directly asked the Great Wizard what he wanted to tell us.

The great wizard slowly opened his eyes, handed me the cowhide bag in his hand, and said, "First year of junior high school, I thought about it for a long time, and I felt that it was most appropriate to hand over this case to you and Wang Daochang. ”

I asked what the case was, and I went to open the old cowhide bag, and there were only photos in it, three in total, two solo photos, and one group photo.

The two single photos are both black and white, and the people in the photos are very young, but judging from the age of the photos, the people in the photos should be at least fifty or sixty years old now.

And I don't know either of these young people in the photo.

Let's say I don't know, there is one person I look at but feel a little familiar, I always think I have seen it somewhere, but I can't remember where it is.

When I saw that group photo, I was stunned.

There were three people in the group photo, and the people in the two solo photos were also in the photo, except for those two people, there was also a young man, but I knew him.

It's the grandfather of his youth!

When I lived in my hometown before, I saw a single photo of my grandfather in my grandfather's old belongings, and it was exactly the same as the one in the group photo.

I stared at the group photo for a while and then asked the great wizard, "There is my grandfather in the photo, and the two people next to him are friends of my grandfather?" ”

The great wizard nodded and said: "Indeed, the one in the middle is Li Shenxiang, the person on his left is called Yanggu, a wizard in our Miao Village, who followed your grandfather out of the village, and later died in a mission, the one on the right is called Shangguan Yang, who is a rare paper-binding expert in the world, and he once pierced a hundred golden armor regiments by himself!" ”

"Then he alone took the Golden Armor Corps to Southern Xinjiang and exterminated a Yin Soldier Legion of thousands of people controlled by the evil witch of Southern Xinjiang, which became famous for a while!"

Shangguan Yang, I seem to have heard this name there?

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, Shangguan Yang, Shangguan old man, isn't this the name of the old man Shangguan who has been supplying us with paper and goods when we opened a shroud shop with our grandfather!

I was excited in my heart, I never thought that ordinary old man would have such a beautiful time.

But it's no surprise to think about it, wasn't my grandfather also a bad old man in my eyes before?

Sensing my expression, the Great Wizard smiled and said, "It seems that you know each other." ”

I said, "Well, but I never thought he was such a master." ”

The great wizard continued: "This case is related to him, back then, Li Shenxiang, the seedling bone of our village, and Shangguan Yang had a case together, and the seedling bone died that time, and it was also after that case that Shangguan Yang became a papermaker incognito. ”

I asked the Great Wizard if Shangguan Yang chose to live in seclusion earlier than my grandfather, and the Great Wizard nodded and said, "Yes, it was a full fifteen years earlier, and when Shangguan chose to live in seclusion, your father was still young." ”

I nodded and continued to ask the Great Wizard what the case was like this time, and why such an old man was involved.

The great wizard said: "It is related to the case of the death of the bones of our village, I can't tell you more about the details of the specific case, I need you to go to Shangguanyang and see him, you just need to ask him about the case of the ancient city of Lijiang, and he will understand." ”

The case of the old town of Lijiang?

The Great Wizard continued: "Okay, that's all I can say, you guys leave immediately, Shangguan Yang is still in the county town where you grew up, everything there is very familiar, I don't need to say more." ”

I nodded and said, "Got it!" ”

We didn't know the details of this case, but we agreed vaguely, probably because my grandfather had been involved in this case before.

Then the great wizard said to us: "The building we are in now is the house where your grandfather and Shangguan Yang came to Miao Village as guests, and all the things on this floor are from Shangguan Yang's hands. ”

Wang Junhui and I also nodded at the same time.

Then the great wizard didn't tell us anything related to the case, and Wang Junhui and I didn't stay on the wooden building for long, so we took our leave and left.

We stayed in Miao Village for half a month, plus our previous time, there are less than two months left in the day of leaving Zanghai, so we have any cases at hand that must be solved as soon as possible, and we must be relaxed when we go to Zanghai, and at that time, we can't look ahead and look backwards.

So after leaving the Great Wizard's side, we said goodbye to Xu Ruohui and Li Yajing and left Miao Village.

All the way north, Wang Junhui has been driving alone, so it will take a few days.

The northern side is my hometown and Wang Junhui's hometown, and this time we will inevitably have a lot of emotion in our hearts when we return to our hometown.

A few days later, we arrived in the county seat where I lived, and it was only a year and a half, and naturally there were no major changes in the county, and the streets were very familiar.

Wang Junhui also led me to see the old house of me and my grandfather, the owner of the house is similar to us, and the first floor is also rented out, which is the face of doing business, and the second floor is still rented to others.

It's just that our business is far from the same, and they run a barber shop.

I thought about going in and having a look, but after wiping my head with just grown hair, I thought about it and forgot about it.

Then we went directly to the house of Shangguan Yang, a papermaker in the west of the city, it has only been more than a year, he should not have moved yet, I remember that he seems to live with his granddaughter.

Let's hope we don't go over this time.
