Wu Family Sword Spirit

Chapter 74 I want to hear the truth

"Xiaojiu, when did you come back? Are Xiaoxu and Zhiqiang feeling better? We went to pick up your grandpa just now. It's not easy for your grandpa to come all the way from the state capital. Why don't you let your grandpa go first? sit down……"

My dad greeted me as soon as he walked in the door.

I stood up immediately and looked at the energetic old man. Today he was wearing a white Yixian suit that had been washed a little. He had a straight body, a slicked back hair, sharp eyes like an eagle, and a very powerful aura. After him, my heart sank suddenly, and I called grandpa respectfully.

After the old man saw me, he was stunned for a moment, his expression seemed very surprised, but he soon returned to normal. Although the old man's expression changed quickly, I noticed it, but I was wondering why. The old man has such a weird expression. Could it be that he saw something?
Before I could understand what I was thinking, the old man had already walked towards me, patted my shoulder gently, and said earnestly: "Xiaojiu, are you feeling better?"

I nodded, feeling a little frightened in my heart. The old man rarely spoke to me in such a polite way, so he replied obediently: "Grandpa is worried. He's getting better now. I think he'll be discharged from the hospital in two days. What do you think?" It’s not easy for you to come all the way here, it’s your grandson’s turn to see you..."

The old man smiled slightly and said, "Xiao Jiu, when did you learn to talk so well? It makes grandpa not recognize you."

I chuckled and asked the old man to sit down.

The old man waved his hand and did not sit down. Instead, he turned to look at my parents and said in a deep voice: "Okay, you two go out for a while. I have something to discuss with Xiaojiu alone..."

My parents were stunned for a moment, and even I started to get a little nervous. What is the old man going to do? Why are you talking to me alone?

My dad said: "Dad, if you have anything to do, just say no. We are a family and there are no outsiders here."

The old man frowned slightly and said in a deep voice again: "Go out, did you hear me?"

Although his tone was just a little more serious, there seemed to be a natural coercion that made people breathless. My father was so frightened that he immediately shrank his head and did not dare to say anything. He took my mother out of the ward and saw When my father was a child, he was often taught a lesson by the old man. Looking at him was like a cat seeing a mouse. I suddenly felt a malicious pleasure. I didn't expect that there was someone my father was afraid of, and that was my grandfather.

Seeing my father and my mother walking to the door of the ward in a flash, and then closing the door, who knew that the old man seemed to have eyes behind his back, and suddenly said: "Go farther away."

Damn, does the old man really have eyes behind his back?

After the old man finished saying these words, there was suddenly another sound of distant footsteps at the door.

At this moment, my grandfather and I were the only two people left in this ward, and the atmosphere became a little tense inexplicably, especially the way the old man looked at me, which seemed to be able to penetrate my heart. I was so nervous that I didn’t even know where to turn. Where to put it.

After looking at me like this for a while, the old man suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled my collar open, revealing the scarred wounds, which were all scratched by the white-haired immortal body. The old man made this inexplicable move. This move frightened me, and I subconsciously took a step back, saying in a trembling voice: "Grandpa, what are you going to do?"

Grandpa didn't answer but asked: "How did you get the injury on your shoulder?"

What did I think I was doing, but it turned out that this was what I was asking. I have told people this question many times. Without thinking about it, I just said smoothly: "My injury was scratched by a wolf. In Langtougou, I and I Zhuzhu and the others were besieged by more than a dozen wolves, and I was the least injured one. They were even worse than me, so..."

"Shut up!" The old man suddenly shouted angrily, interrupted my words, narrowed his eyes, stared at me again, and said word by word: "I want to hear the truth."

I was stunned, raised my head, and looked directly into the old man's eyes. I didn't know what he meant. Could he be able to tell that my upper body was scratched by the immortal body?
Even the experts from the state capital couldn't see any clues. Can this old man see it?This is too ridiculous.

But I still refused to give up and lied: "Grandpa, how can I lie to you? It was really the wolf from Langtougou who scratched me. On the night of the New Year's Eve, Zhuzi went crazy with alcohol and ran to Langtougou. We met more than a dozen hungry wolves. Wolf, if you don’t believe it, go back to the village and ask the old man who herds sheep in the village. He has seen wolves near Langtou ditch.”

The old man still had that sinking look on his face, but his eyes moved to my neck, and he asked calmly: "Then tell me, grandpa, what happened to the injury on your neck?"

I hesitated for a moment, then lied again: "I scratched this injury myself. The doctor said it was a viral infection. It was incredibly itchy. When I scratched it, it became like this..."

At this time, the old man suddenly sneered and said gloomily: "It seems that you don't intend to tell the truth to grandpa. How about grandpa telling you?"

I was stunned and my heart was beating wildly. Could it be that the old man really had such magical powers?
After a while, the old man verified my idea. He said in a shocking way: "The wound on your shoulder was scratched by the immortal body, right?!"

I was completely shocked. My mouth opened wide for a while before I said, "You...how did you know?"

As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I realized that I had let it slip, but it was too late to regret it. Who was this old man, and how could he see through the mystery in me at a glance?
The old man sighed, his expression became solemn, and he said as if talking to himself: "Fortunately, I came in time. If I had come one day later, the old Wu family would probably be extinct."

After saying this, the old man walked two steps in the room with his hands behind his back. When he stood still, he turned his head to look at me again, and said coldly: "Don't be dazed, pack up your things quickly, and change your clothes. ,Come with me!"

"Grandpa... where are we going?" I was puzzled.

"Langtougou!" The old man spat out three words. After hearing these three words, I subconsciously shuddered. That place was the source of my nightmares, and I didn't want to go there a second time.

I hesitated for a moment and was thinking about how to say something, but the old man didn't let me tell. He said it again in a commanding tone: "If you want to live, just follow grandpa. Don't worry, grandpa won't harm you."

However, I was worried about his safety. The old man was quite old, and not everyone could go to Langtougou. I immediately said, "Grandpa, you must not go to that place!"
