What Old Man Xia said before made Liu Wengen break into a cold sweat.

And what is the effect of Zhong Kui's words at this moment?

As soon as Zhong Kui finished speaking, Old Man Xia's eyes suddenly became cross-eyed, staring at him intently, staring blankly as he spoke.

Old Man Xia's eyes are so small, so small that they are sunken into the wrinkled eye sockets. The eyes are small, but they have the penetrating power to penetrate your inner world.

A pair of small eyes, a pair of leopard eyes. One pair is full of doubts, and the other pair is full of justice, persistence and knowledge.

Liu Wengen, who was watching from the sidelines, was so horrified that he broke into a cold sweat again.

Old Man Xia's little eyes were finally defeated. He picked up a pickle and chewed it, making a "crunch-crunch" sound as his gums were grinding the pickle. An inquiring gaze shone through his little eyes, staring straight at him.

Zhong Kui asked abruptly: "Are you really from Menling Village?"

Zhong Kui's face did not change, his heart did not beat, and he said in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant: "Yes."

Old Man Xia was a little eager to pursue him, and continued to ask: "How did you survive?"

"I survived in the tomb." He asked and answered this question without any concern for Liu Wengen beside him, as if he regarded him as a transparent person.

"My daughter died miserably. His unsatisfactory man deserved to die for being happy enough, but he shouldn't have taken away my only daughter." Old Man Xia said in a sad tone, the first time he had said so many words.

At first glance, Zhong Kui felt vaguely who the husband of Old Man Xia's daughter was. If he guessed correctly, it should be Wang Ermao. At the same time, he felt that there seemed to be something invisible and intangible about Old Man Xia.

Something exists. This thing is not a smell or a shadow, but a strange breath.

This kind of aura is no better than a ghost. Does it have something to do with Old Man Xia carrying water in the middle of the night?

Zhong Kui took back his reverie and asked in a deep voice: "Is your daughter's husband Wang Ermao?" His eyes lingered on the old man's wrinkled face, scanning back and forth to search for all the changes in his expression when he heard this.

Confirm whether the guess is correct.

Old Man Xia did not refute Zhong Kui's words, and his old face suddenly turned into a bitter look.

Old Man Xia tried his best to open his little eyes wide, looked at Zhong Kui and asked, "Son, how do you know so clearly?"

"Old man, let me tell you the truth, you picked up the water in the water tank yourself in the middle of the night. It has nothing to do with your daughter." Zhong Kui spoke word by word as Liu Wengen opened his mouth and showed an extremely horrified look on his face.

Speak out the matter.

"You're fooling me! I know how much my old bones weigh, and I'm half buried in the loess. How could I get up in the middle of the night to fetch water?" Old Man Xia argued vigorously.

Zhong Kui was eager to find out the facts about what happened in Menling Village from Old Man Xia. He ignored the old man's objections. He changed the topic and said, "Old man, can you tell me what happened in Menling Village later?"

What happened? Is there anyone alive?"

As soon as Zhong Kui's words came out, Liu Wengen, who was originally shocked at the side, perked up and became interested. He put aside all kinds of fearful assumptions. He tried his best to listen to Old Man Xia's next reply with his ear.

As soon as Zhong Kui asked, Old Man Xia stood up immediately. When he stood up, he took out the cigarette pot from the bottom of the dining table, coughed twice and walked out of the room calmly under the surprised gazes of the two people.

"Hey! What's this? You're asking him a question!" Liu Wengen shouted on Zhong Kui's behalf.

Zhong Kui watched Old Man Xia walking out coldly, thinking actively: Old Man Xia was avoiding this question, he seemed to be afraid of something.

Zhong Kui followed closely and walked out, and at a glance he saw Old Man Xia talking to the Minister of Arms and three other people.

Seeing this scene, Zhong Kui was filled with doubts; could it be that Old Man Xia didn't answer the question just now because he saw someone coming?

The Minister of Arms and three people greeted Liu Wengen and informed him of his purpose. It turned out that when he came last night, he saw that Liu Wengen's face was not good-looking. In addition, when he heard that Zhong Kui had gone somewhere overnight, they both

The entrance to Menling Village has not yet been found. Then people were rearranged to accompany Zhong Kui to Menling Village. Of course, he would like someone to take over Liu Wengen's job.

But Liu Wengen was still a little hesitant about whether to leave Old Man Xia's home and Zhong Kui with the Minister of Arms. Because when he came to the county town, the captain repeatedly told him to stay by Zhong Kui's side and never leave.

What's wrong.

The Minister of Armed Forces seemed to have seen Liu Wengen's inner activities. He laughed loudly and said: "Okay, Brother Liu, don't be so stubborn. We don't know what your physical fitness is, so you can rest peacefully and let these three people

The activists took the child Zhong Kui to Menling Village. After this is over, I have to find a home for the child to settle down."

Look, this Minister of Arms is thoughtful, kind, and considerate of others. He is indeed a good cadre of the people.

The words of the Minister of Armed Forces completely eliminated Liu Wengen's worries. He looked at Zhong Kui questioningly, and Zhong Kui agreed that he should rest.

The Minister of Armed Forces and Liu Wengen left Zhong Kui and Old Man Xia's home.

Zhong Kui looked at the three new male activists. The Minister of Arms had just bragged them to the sky. It didn’t matter what they were doing. As long as he could solve the mystery of Menling Village.

, that’s better than anything else.

The three activists are all several years older than Zhong Kui, and they are really responsible in their actions. Even if Zhong Kui goes to the latrine, one of them will accompany him.

For some reason, Zhong Kui suddenly felt like he was being watched. Visual inspection showed that these three people were not here to help him, but instead seemed to be monitoring his every move.

Since these three people arrived, Old Man Xia has become less and less talkative, and even his cough has suddenly improved.

Zhong Kui felt that Old Man Xia's cough was hinting at something. He thought about it just a few minutes ago when he asked about the incident in Menling Village. Old Man Xia stood up, picked up the cigarette pot, put his hands behind his back, coughed twice, and walked straight out of the door. Go out.

Then I met the Minister of Armed Forces and his people. This couldn’t be a coincidence!

After Zhong Kui discovered this problem, he paid attention to Old Man Xia's behavior and the expression on his face.

If you don't pay attention, you won't realize it. Once you pay attention, Zhong Kui really finds out that there is something wrong with Old Man Xia. He always likes to look at people from the corners of his eyes intentionally or unintentionally. When you look at him, the old man immediately straightens his eyes and makes a gesture.

Act like nothing is wrong.

Just after the three of them arrived at Old Man Xia's home, the relationship between the four of them changed subtly. The three of them came to monitor him, but Old Man Xia was pretending to be reckless on purpose.

Mr. Zhong Kui felt that Mr. Xia was hinting at something, but he was also deliberately concealing something. He couldn't figure it out for the moment, and he didn't want to waste time on this incomprehensible issue.

In the afternoon, Zhong Kui and three activists set out.
