Chapter 349 Four Gates (18)

20 years ago?

Captain Peng and his father have been to this village?
its not right!
Along the way, Captain Peng didn't mention it!
Did Gambling Ghost Su make a mistake?
What's more, the Captain Peng 20 years ago was only five or six years old, so how could the gambler Su conclude that the kid is the current Captain Peng?

Thinking of this, I asked out the doubts in my heart.

He didn't hide from me, so he said, "Xiao Chuanzi, didn't you notice that Captain Peng had a mole on his neck? That child also had a mole on his neck back then, and the child's father happened to be called For Captain Peng, so, today, when I heard the villagers say that Captain Peng is here, I went to have a look, and the Captain Peng you are talking about is definitely the kid back then."

I frowned, and said in a deep voice, "What happened in this village back then?"

He looked up at me, then at Su Xiaoman and others beside him, and said softly: "Niuer, you and your mother go to the room to rest first, I have something to tell Xiao Chuanzi."

After that, he seemed to think of something, and added, "Forget it, let's go out and talk."

After speaking, he slowly got up and walked towards the door.

I got up immediately and was about to go out when Su Xiaoman grabbed me and said timidly: "Senior brother, I... my dad is moody, if there is anything that offends you, I hope you will see me..."

I didn't wait for her to finish speaking, so I gave up and said with a smile: "It's okay, I have a sense of proportion, it's you, catch up with your mother, we might have to go back to Hengyang tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

As I said that, I looked at her, then at her mother, and found that her mother smiled at me.

I smiled back and walked outside without saying a word.

Soon, I went out, the light outside was very dim, I couldn't see my fingers, and accompanied by gusts of cool wind, I shrank my neck subconsciously, while Gambler Su stood at the door and smoked.

I tentatively asked, "Uncle Su, why don't you find a warmer place, standing there can freeze you to death."

He turned his head and glanced at me, then said softly, "I'll take you to the village chief's house."

The village chief's house?
Aren't Captain Peng and Cheng San at the village chief's house?

At that moment, I was about to speak when I saw that gambler Su walking towards the front, and I immediately followed.

To my disappointment, the place he took me to was not Quan Songbai Quan village head's house.

Now, I couldn't bear it anymore, so I asked, "Which village chief's house are we going to?"

As he walked forward, he said, "The old village head's house, what happened in our village back then was at the old village head's house."

I groaned, without asking any further questions, and followed him and walked forward.

After walking for about three or four minutes, the two of us stopped in front of a house. The door of this house was ajar, and there was a glimmer of light from inside. We could faintly hear a familiar voice coming from the house.

"Old village chief, in your opinion, how should this matter be?"

It was Captain Peng's voice.

I looked happy, and I didn't care about the gambler Su, I hurriedly opened the door and walked in.

As soon as I entered the door, Gambling Ghost Su followed in.

"Dongchuan, why are you here?" Captain Peng asked me.

When I looked up, I found that Captain Peng and Cheng San were sitting on wooden rattan chairs, and Village Chief Quan Songbai was standing aside. In the middle was a table of eight immortals with some fruits on it. On the top of the table of eight immortals sat a An old man in his seventies.

The old man was dressed in plain clothes, with silver hair all over his head, and a walking stick by his side.

What surprised me was that the old man's walking stick was made of high-quality golden nanmu, and a dragon head was carved on the top of the walking stick.

It's strange, seeing that the old man's house is very simple, a typical country house, but the crutch in his hand is very valuable.

Just when I was in a daze for a while, the old man seemed to notice me staring at his crutches, smiled at me, and said, "Why? Little brother knows this thing?"

After all, he looked at the blame.

I gave a wry smile and hurriedly said, "I know a thing or two."

"Dongchuan, sit here." Captain Peng beckoned to me, and I walked over immediately and sat down next to Captain Peng, while Su, the gambling ghost, walked towards the old man.

When he got to the old man's side, Gambler Su bent slightly and whispered a few words into the old man's ear.

Because his voice was very low, I couldn't hear what he said at all, but I knew that just after he finished speaking, the old man looked at me with a smile, and said with a smile: "Little brother, it's better to be humble, don't underestimate me." Anyone in this world, even a disabled person, can you guarantee that he doesn't have one or two more powerful friends? And you can guarantee that his friends don't have one or two more powerful friends."

As soon as I heard it, I immediately understood what he meant. He was alluding to the lame man.

This made me depressed, so I nodded slightly and said, "You're always right."

The old man smiled, let it go, glanced at all of us with a pair of deep eyes, and said with a smile: "The old man already understands the purpose of everyone's visit, and I don't want to go into details. It's still the same sentence as before. This is our beef brisket village. We, Niubi Village, can solve the matter by ourselves, so I hope you don't get involved."

"Old village chief, 20 years ago, my father died in this village for no apparent reason. When you were old, you told me to wait 20 years to come back. Now that 20 years have passed, do you always plan to let me go home empty-handed?" The captain hugged the old man.

The old man smiled, stopped at Quan Songbai, signaled Quan Songbai to leave, waved at Gambler Su, and said softly, "Help me to the room."

"Old village chief, you..." Captain Peng got up immediately, a little anxious, and was about to speak, when he saw the old village chief look towards Captain Peng, and said in a low voice, "Why? Don't you trust the old man?"

"I..." Captain Peng faltered and didn't speak, but Quan Songbai said from the side, "Captain Peng, since the old village chief asked you to come here 20 years later, he naturally has his reasons."

After finishing speaking, Quan Songbai gave a general greeting and walked towards the door.

After Quan Songbai left, Captain Peng, Cheng San and I sat at the table of the Eight Immortals, and no one spoke, while the old village chief and the gambling ghost Su entered the side room next to them.

"Captain Peng, do you know the person who accompanied me in just now?" I asked Captain Peng.

He didn't seem to be in the mood, so he replied lightly, "I don't know, why? He knows me?"

"He seems to know your father." I replied quietly.

Captain Peng's reaction was very strange, he just uttered a word, and then there was no more to say, but Cheng San stared at Captain Peng firmly, and asked in surprise, "Captain Peng, is this fox incident related to what happened 20 years ago? "

As soon as I heard it, I also looked at Captain Peng, and my intuition told me that Captain Peng's coming here was by no means as simple as it appeared on the surface.

Seeing the two of us staring at him, Captain Peng sighed: "To be precise, what is happening now is a repeat of the mistakes of 20 years ago. It can even be said that everything we have encountered now happened as early as 20 years ago." I have encountered it before."

As soon as these words came out, Cheng San and I looked at each other, and we both saw a hint of inconceivability in each other's eyes, especially Captain Peng's sentence, everything that he has encountered so far, he had encountered it as early as 20 years ago.

What happened?
Could it be that there is something hidden in this matter that I don't know?
