Chapter 242: Unspeakable
"Really?" Tang Zhan also asked with interest, "Who is so powerful that he can block so many bandits alone?"
Zhao Zichuan saw that Tang Zhan was a little excited when he heard the powerful character, so he glanced at Tang Zhan and said softly unconsciously: "No matter who it is, it's much more powerful than you fool anyway......"
Wang Yuming continued: "That young man's martial arts are indeed a must...... It can really be said that it is the favor of God, that young man just happened to pass by Wangjia Village, and happened to encounter this incident. That young man was really chivalrous, not only came to the rescue, but also taught those bandits a hard lesson, and since then those bandits have never invaded Wangjia Village for more than ten years......"
"That young man is actually so powerful-" Lu Jing was also a little surprised, "There are many people in the world who can defeat so many bandits alone, but they can't beat those bandits for more than ten years and don't dare to attack, I think that young man is either 'higher than the sky' in martial arts, or his own identity scares those bandits......"
Lu Jing said this sentence unintentionally, Wang Yuming seemed to feel something, and the whole person couldn't help but be stunned. And this inadvertent detail was noticed by Lu Jing, who was asking, Lu Jing looked at Wang Yuming with a strange expression for a moment, and her eyes wrinkled slightly......
"Then what about later, after those bandits left, was Wangjia Village safe?" Lu Zhao asked again, "What about Miss Wang and that young man who saved Wangjia Village?"
Wang Yuming eased his nerves, and then said with a smile on his face: "As a person from Wangjia Village, Miss Wang is naturally loved by the villagers for saving Wangjia Village. And the young man who is an outsider. risked his life to come to the rescue, and the villagers were also grateful. But what is even more gratifying is that it is the opportunity of the catastrophe in Wangjia Village. Miss Wang and the young man had feelings for each other. Miss Wang was the smartest and most beautiful girl in the village, and she rescued Wangjia Village; It didn't take long for the two of them to get married in Wangjia Village......"
"Because of this opportunity, the love between the two of them has been achieved, right?" Lu Jing listened, leaned lightly on Tang Zhan's shoulder and said, "It's so romantic......"
Li Yuru listened. There was also a lot of feeling in his heart, and then he said: "That young man, he is really a champion in martial arts." One man resisted the bandits. Unlike someone, when I was in the southern suburbs of Bianliang, I had to deliberately avoid the Emei faction's Aojing Master, isn't it a little too sloppy to be a man......"
"You-" Zhao Zichuan knew it. It was his wife Li Yuru who was deliberately "blackening" herself again. Zhao Zichuan said a little badly, "Do you have to hack me at this juncture?"
Lu Jing listened to Zhao Zichuan and Li Yuru's "husband and wife singing harmony" on the side, and couldn't help laughing out loud on the side, she knew in her heart that Li Yuru actually cared about Zhao Zichuan very much in her heart, and the two of them "made a little noise" on weekdays also invisibly increased each other's feelings.
Tang Zhan was also amused for a while while listening to it, and then, he who had always liked to worship heroes wanted to know the identities of the young man and the girl Wang, so he asked again: "That's right." Uncle Wang, who is the name of that young man and Miss Wang? What's your name?"
It was originally a very harmonious atmosphere, but when Tang Zhan suddenly asked like this, the village chief Wang Yuming suddenly changed his expression, and he seemed to have an embarrassment in his heart. Immediately, Wang Yuming seemed to hesitate in his heart, and then replied softly: "This ...... With all due respect, there are rules in Wangjia Village that you can't tell outsiders the names of Miss Wang and the young man. For some reason, I'm really sorry, there's only so much Lao Su can tell you......"
"Is it because that young man wants to be incognito?" Zhao Zichuan said again, "I didn't expect him to be really low-key......
Wang Yuming listened, and only nodded lightly.
However, Lu Jing didn't seem to think so in her heart, she always felt that the village chief was deliberately hiding something, so she said tentatively and softly: "Or ...... It's inconvenient to tell outsiders about the identity of this young man?"
When Lu Jing asked, Wang Yuming couldn't help but be stunned again. This time, Lu Jing was very sure in her heart that it must be in some way, Wang Yuming and all the village names of Wangjia Village deliberately concealed the names of the young man and Miss Wang and did not report them. However, Lu Jing is not a person who is forced to speak, what she said just now was just an accidental temptation, seeing Wang Yuming, who was the village head, a little embarrassed and embarrassed in front of outsiders, Lu Jing didn't want to ask any more, and then said: "It's okay, Uncle Wang, the juniors are just asking casually." If it's really inconvenient to answer, the juniors won't force it......"
Wang Yuming thought for a while, and then continued: "Hey, for the sake of you saving Wangjiacun like the young man more than ten years ago, let's tell you more about Miss Wang and the young man, although I still can't tell you the identities of the two of them, but it's okay to talk about what happened to them......"
"Is there a story behind that Shaoxia and Miss Wang?" Lu Jing continued, "Yes, Uncle Wang, what you said, the incident between Shaoxia and Miss Wang happened more than ten years ago, and it stands to reason that they should still be in this village and have children, right......?
Wang Yuming nodded lightly, and suddenly showed a sad look, as if he thought of the unbearable past, and then said: "Later, Miss Wang and the young man became husband and wife, and the husband and wife should have children and live happily in Wangjia Village for a lifetime. But...... But ......"
"But what?" Li Yuru also asked.
"Hey......" Wang Yuming sighed lightly and continued to whisper, "But...... It can only be said that there are unforeseen circumstances, although Miss Wang was pregnant with the young man's child soon after marriage, but ...... However, after giving birth to the child, Miss Wang passed away soon after due to a serious illness......
"Ahh......h died of illness......" Lu Jing, who has always been reluctant to bear the death of a good person, also sighed with some sadness when she heard this.
Wang Yuming paused for a moment, and then said, "Yes." A few months after the child was born, Miss Wang died of illness, and the whole village was saddened by it. After that, the young man couldn't hide the grief in his heart. After setting up a grave for his deceased wife in the village, he left Wangjia Village with his newborn child and never returned......
"Then there is no news of that young man and that child...... Is it?" asked the kind-hearted Lu Meng with some reluctance.
Wang Yuming shook his head slightly, and then said, "No, although that young man did not return to Wangjia Village, there is still news of him outside. Among them, there was a big event. It was precisely because of that incident that the people in the village decided not to tell the names of Miss Wang and the young man to outsiders......"
"A big deal?" Li Yuru said with some questions, "Why did you let the people in the village shut up because of a big event?"
Wang Yuming did not answer immediately. It seems to be thinking about something.
The thoughtful Lu Jing thought for a long time, and then said, "Then the name of that child, the people in the village also know the way, right?"
"Yes......" Wang Yuming replied.
"I'm not going to tell outsiders, are I?" Lu Jing asked again.
"Yes......" Wang Yuming continued to reply.
"Maybe as outsiders, we really shouldn't ask so much...... Lu Zhao said again. "If the people of Wangjia Village really have something unspeakable. We really shouldn't be rude to continue asking, after all, it's just a village memory......"
But Lu Jing didn't seem to give up until she figured out the truth of the matter, she thought for a while, and then asked: "By the way, Uncle Wang, as you just said, that young man set up a grave for his deceased wife in Wangjia Village before leaving, right? If that's the case, that grave should still be in the village now, right? Since it's the grave of his deceased wife." The stele must have Miss Wang's name engraved on it, if we can go and see it. Maybe you'll be able to know the name of the girl who is the king of the Dao or even the name of the young man......"
This is indeed a good way, but who knows, Wang Yuming shook his head lightly on the side, and then said: "It's useless...... You are not the first batch of outsiders to come to Wangjia Village to learn about this matter, and you are not the first outsider to think of this method, girl. In order to prevent Miss Wang's name from going out, someone has already erased all the names except her surname on Miss Wang's tombstone, and no outsiders will know about it......
"Erased the name from the tombstone?" Lu Jing said in surprise, "It seems that the people in the village are really tight-lipped...... Even if this is the attention of the villagers, who would dare to personally erase the name of Miss Wang, the life-saving benefactor of the village, from the tombstone?"
Wang Yuming paused for a while, and then said, "It's Miss Wang's father—"
"Huh?" said the crowd in amazement.
"Miss Wang has passed away, but her father is still alive?" Lu Jing said in surprise again.
"Hey, Jing'er, be careful when you speak, don't be big or ......small," Tang Zhan heard Lu Jing's words on the side, and immediately reminded in a low voice.
"There is nothing to do, there are no troubles, there are not so many rules in our village......" Wang Yuming saw Lu Jing's quirky appearance, and said with a smile, "Actually, to be honest, Miss Lu, your personality is really a bit similar to the character of Miss Wang back then, just as smart and eccentric, maybe this is one of the reasons why the young man fell in love with Miss Wang......
"I'm like...... Miss Wang?" Listening to the village chief's words, Lu Jing sighed to herself with a little blush.
"Uncle Wang, you said just now that Miss Wang's father is still alive?" Li Yuru pulled back to the point on the side.
Wang Yuming nodded lightly, and then said softly: "His name is Wang Zhongkui, he was originally a scholar who fell to the ground, and after failing the examination several times, he has been living in this Wangjia Village, and has never left the village again...... It is said that on the day of Miss Wang's death, Mr. Zhongkui cried for two days and two nights, but his eyes fell ill, and now he has to look at everything for half a day to see clearly......"
"Then Uncle Wang, you just said that it was the old man Wang Zhongkui who erased the name on his daughter's tablet, right?" Li Yuru then asked.
"Yes......" Wang Yuming nodded and replied, "In order not to let outsiders know the name of Miss Wang, as a father, he had to do this......
"Then is that old Mr. Wang Zhongkui still in Wangjia Village?" Zhao Zichuan also asked.
"That's right—" Wang Yuming continued to reply, "he now spends his days in front of his daughter's grave, and this time it has been more than ten years......"
"It seems that Miss Wang's death, Mr. Wang is also very sad in his heart......" Tang Zhan couldn't help but sigh.
Lu Jing wanted to figure out the cause and effect of these things. Then he asked the village chief: "Uncle Wang, can we visit that old Mr. Wang Zhongkui during the day tomorrow, and go to see Miss Wang's grave by the way?"
Wang Yuming didn't object much. He nodded lightly and said, "Of course...... Anyway, you are also the benefactor of the village, if Mr. Wang Zhongkui knows about you, he may think of his dead daughter again, and he should have more understanding in his heart......"
Lu Zhao thought for a long time, and then asked, "Uncle Wang just now, you said that we are not the first batch of outsiders to know about this matter, are we among other outsiders." Isn't there anyone who knows the names of the Dao Wang girl and the young man?"
Wang Yuming thought for a while, and then replied: "It's not nothing, there was once an outsider." Make an exception to know the way. And the person who told the outsider Miss Wang and the young man's name was Mr. Wang Zhongkui himself. ”
"In this way, there are still people who know the truth...... Lu Zhao asked again, "Then who is that outsider?" What will Mr. Wang Zhongkui tell him all the truth?"
"I'm sorry. We can't tell you about this matter......" Wang Yuming replied softly.
"Sure enough......" Lu Zhao seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and muttered unconsciously.
After talking around the fire pit for a while, Wang Yuming stood up and said casually: "It's not too early, so let's rest early...... If you really want to see the graves of Mr. Wang Zhongkui and Miss Wang tomorrow, I will send someone to take you to meet you tomorrow......"
Tang Zhan, Lu Jing and others also stood up and prepared to say goodbye to the village chief......
The resting place was not at the village chief's house, but in a few empty rooms next to the village chief's house. When the crowd stepped out of the door. Outside the door, it had turned into goose feather snow, and a lot of snow had accumulated on the ground.
Zhao Zichuan was the most tired. ran at the front and wanted to go back to the room to rest immediately, Li Yuru wanted to tease a few words in the back, but she couldn't catch up. As husband and wife, they naturally sleep in one room, while Lu Jing has to sleep in a small room next door, and the remaining three people, Tang Zhan, Lu Zhao and Lu Meng, have to sleep in the largest room......
On the way back to the room, Tang Zhan and Lu Jing fell behind the most. Tang Zhan, like Zhao Zichuan, wanted to rest as soon as possible, but Lu Jing looked thoughtful on the side, as if he was thinking about what the village chief had said just now.
Seeing that Lu Jing was a little at a loss, Tang Zhan asked, "What's the matter, Jing'er, are you still thinking about the story that the village chief told just now?"
Lu Jing nodded lightly, and then said softly, "Hmm...... I'm thinking, for what Uncle Wang or even the whole village should be able to hide the names of Miss Wang and the young man......"
"Hey, people are low-key, maybe that young man wants to deliberately leave no name and ask the people in the village not to tell outsiders about this ......matter," Tang Zhan said casually.
Lu Jing shook her head and said thoughtfully: "No, Uncle Wang also said it just now, because that young man had done something outside, and because after that incident, the village planned to seal the names of the two of them...... In other words, this matter is extraordinary, and even worse, it should have alarmed the entire Central Plains. The people in the village can hide it, and from this point of view, most of what the young man did was something bad. In order to repay the young man's kindness, the people in the village didn't want outsiders to despise what the young man did, so they deliberately concealed the fact that he was in Wangjia Village......"
"This, is it true......" Tang Zhan said in disbelief, "That young man is chivalrous and righteous, dealing with so many bandits alone, saving Wangjia Village, what can he do badly?"
"This is exactly ......what I want to figure out" Lu Jing thought for a while, and then seemed to think of a way, and said with a little excitement, "By the way, the people who know the name of the young man and Miss Wang are not only from Wangjia Village......
"That'...... Who else is there?" Tang Zhan couldn't help but ask.
Lu Jing smiled lightly, and then said: "Fool, have you forgotten, in addition to the names of the people of Wangjia Village who know the names of Miss Wang and the young man, the thieves of the 'Tangying Society' also know the Dao...... If we can get some news from the 'Tang Ying Society', maybe we will be able to know the identity of the Dao Wang girl and the young man......"
"Jing'er, you are really smart, this is indeed a good way, why didn't I think of it......" Tang Zhan first praised Lu Jing, and then said a little worriedly, "But ...... 'Tangying Society' is a bandit nest, let's go rashly, will it ...... Too dangerous?"
Lu Jing didn't care about it, pouted and said: "Whatever, anyway, I didn't have to worry about the dozen or so bandits today, and I guess this bullshit 'Tang Yinghui' is not bad......"
"But Jing'er, this is still ......" Tang Zhan seemed to want to object.
"Okay, that's it, it's decided, we must find an opportunity to get close to the 'Tang Ying Meeting' and find out the ...... of the matter" Lu Jing made a stop gesture to Tang Zhan, and then said, "There are a few questions in front of us now- First, of course, it is the name of the young man and the young man; second, what did the young man do when he left Wangjia Village; third, who is the child of the young man and the young man Wang, and where is his (her) whereabouts now; fourth, there was once an outsider who came to Wangjia Village, but he knew the truth of all things, and Mr. Wang Zhongkui also told him the names of Miss Wang and the young man, what was this for; fifth......" Lu Jing said this and glanced at Tang Zhan.
Tang Zhan didn't know what Lu Dao Lu Jing was looking for at him at this time, so he asked incredulously: "Fifth ...... What's the fifth?"
Lu Jing whispered to Tang Zhan in slightly serious words: "Fifth--is the way the village chief looks at you, why would he look at you with that kind of look three times and twice......"
When Tang Zhan heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, and the strange feeling that the village chief had inexplicably looked at himself before came to his heart again.
Seeing Tang Zhan's somewhat nervous appearance, Lu Jing couldn't help but smile lightly: "Look at you, I'm just talking about it...... Okay, it's not too early, I have to go to see the graves of Mr. Wang Zhongkui and Miss Wang tomorrow, let's go to bed early......"
As she spoke, Lu Jing hurriedly stepped on the snowflakes on the ground and ran towards the rest room. Tang Zhan stood in place and thought for a long time, for him, after listening to the "history" of Wangjia Village told by the village chief today, Tang Zhan always had a faint and inexplicable sense of sadness...... (To be continued......)
