Chapter 17 The Doorman
When Lin Shuo arrived at the scene, the old man and the donkey had already been controlled by Wei Xingshan and others.
Looking at the strong men around him who were armed with guns and ammunition, the old man's face was very calm:
"Several people, have I offended you?"
Wei Xingshan shook his head and pointed to Lin Shuo who happened to walk to everyone: "You ask him to go."
The Dragon King Messenger looked at Lin Shuo, then at the giant recurve bow behind him, and his expression changed from calm to alert.
Lin Shuo's heart moved slightly and asked, "Do you know who I am?"
"You are a hunter." The fear in the eyes of the Dragon King messenger flashed.
"It seems that you are from the door, so you can speak easily." Lin Shuo nodded, "Tell me."
The so-called people in the family are people who have family traditions and engage in rare professions.
They have abilities that ordinary people do not possess, and some even have unique skills, and are regarded as crossing the threshold that ordinary people cannot see.
Hunter is a kind of person in the door.
There are highs and lows in the door, lights and darks, and the thresholds they have passed are also different.
The hunting gate where Lin Shuo is located has the most hidden and the highest threshold. The six masters in the hunting gate only exist in legends.
And rap artists like the old man are actually not considered to be from the door, they can only be said to be from the martial arts world.
Obviously, this Dragon King Messenger is not just a rapper, otherwise he would not be able to guess Lin Shuo’s identity.
As for which sect he entered, Lin Shuo was not sure and too lazy to ask about it.
There are many thresholds that ordinary people cannot see in this world, but there are very few who can be admired by Lin Shuo, the inheritors of the six masters of the hunting sect.
"The Dragon Prince is good!" The Dragon King messenger's voice was a little higher, and his expression was a little excited, "The village beside the river at the foot of the mountain is not what it did! You can't touch it!"
The old man seemed to have expected this day. He not only saw Lin Shuo's identity, but also guessed the purpose of Lin Shuo's party.
But this is not surprising. As long as you are a member of the sect, you should know the existence of the hunter. The Black Water Dragon King is becoming more and more famous, and the hunter will come to you sooner or later.
Lin Shuo said lightly: "That's not what you said just now in front of the villagers."
"What can I say?" The Dragon King envoy glared at Lin Shuo, then became weaker, and sighed, "Although my corpse has ancestral skills, it has been squeezed abroad now, so it is naturally not as powerful as you hunters. Once the people in the sect are in a down-and-out world, they will not speak humans or speak lies at the ghosts, can they have a meal?"
Lin Shuo looked at the four bags of flour on the donkey and said, "Okay, I believe you are talking nonsense to make a living. Then I ask you, how do you know that it was not done by the Black Water Dragon King?"
"When did the Dragon King do such a thing?" said the Dragon King messenger, "It has been here for so many years and has only grace to us, so how can it be punished?"
Anne said at this time: "I heard from the people here that you cannot move things in the water, otherwise the Dragon Prince will be punished?"
The Dragon King messenger's face froze, and he looked at Lin Shuo with a look of injustice: "That was my lie to them. If I want to make this stutter, I always make them afraid of the Dragon King. They are not afraid in their hearts, how could I let me pass the message? If I don't pass the message, where would I get the benefits?"
The Dragon King Messenger said, pointing to a few bags of flour on the donkey, looking helpless: "Let's have a meal."
"The animals that were eaten before..."
"I went to steal it in the middle of the night, and used some small means of family tradition." The Dragon King envoy sighed and said, "It's always a good thing to eat. Livestock are too expensive for them. If I want it openly, it would be bad."
Anne shook his head and said nothing more.
"Oh, girl." The Dragon King Messenger looked at Annne and said, "When you are like this, your family must be a wealthy family in the city. I don't know that we are living in the mountains.
In fact, we are not as good as the south side of the Yangtze River, and we are surrounded by the Chinese government. No matter how poor the country is, it is not easy to live.
People in the mountains do not ask for anything else, but only seek peace and safety.
I can't give them peace, but I can give them peace of mind.
My way of making this rice is not glorious, but they need me!
It is not easy for me to drive around the world at this age!
Moreover, I don’t want much, I can eat it with a long flow of water.”
Speaking of this, the Dragon King Envoy looked at Lin Shuo: "This Hunter, you are very capable. My little tricks will naturally not catch your eyes.
But the Dragon Prince is indeed good. If you really kill it, it will not only be a crime, but also cut off my life!"
"Since you think the village at the foot of the mountain is not done by the Black Water Dragon King." Lin Shuo asked, "Who did that?"
"How can I know how to go? I'm going to be scared by you all, I'm so scared this time. If such a big thing happens, who is not afraid?
But when I thought again, if something happened, I wouldn’t come. Who would believe me in the future? Didn’t I just lose my job? Then I came here with a tough time. So, I didn’t even dare to eat food, so I quickly left as soon as the matter was finished."
The Dragon King Envoy said this with a bitter face, sighed heavily, and said, "Since you are here today, it's fine. I've been waiting for a day, and I've been waiting for half a lifetime. Everyone in the door said that hunters are reliable in doing things.
I beg you to figure things out. If there are any other disasters, you will be relieved of them and I will feel at ease when I walk on the mountain road.
But the Dragon Prince is absolutely impossible to do this!"
...
A group of people held the Dragon King envoy and interrogated for a long time, but they didn't ask anything.
This old man only read some useful news at the beginning, and then he said the same thing back and forth.
Lin Shuo understood that this was the words of the people in the sect.
People in the sect often only have a few words to make others believe him.
The threshold of the Lin family where Lin Shuo is located is too high, so he naturally disdains this trick of cheating. However, how to prevent others from using rhetoric to deceive yourself is still learned.
Lin Shuo didn't believe what this old man said.
But if he doesn't believe it, others will believe it.
For example, Liu Qing is usually quite heroic, but now she is confused by the old man's conspiracy of sayings. Not only did she stuff all the food in her backpack, but she also asked Anne about how to transfer money here.
Lin Shuo quickly released the Dragon King envoy. If this continues, the old man will take away more than the donkey.
Before leaving, the Dragon King envoy looked at Lin Shuo:
"When the villagers throw sacrifices into the river tomorrow, don't follow them. That was what I lied to them. The Dragon Prince never showed up at that time.
Everyone is from the door. I won’t hide this from you. Please leave a way out for me.
If you really want to go, the villagers will feel that outsiders are snatching blessings, and then it will be in chaos.
Then I will be in a hurry and say this trick, and then I will really not be able to survive.
In fact, they threw sacrifices upstream, and I caught them downstream, and that was all meat."
After saying this, the old man felt a little embarrassed and smiled awkwardly, "You can make a living..."
...
Back at the temporary camp, everyone sat down and began to share information.
During this trip to the mountain village, Lin Shuo and the other two really solved some of the mystery by inquiring about the news.
But not only did nothing to make progress, but it became even more confusing.
"At present, there are three problems we need to figure out." He Zihong took a day off on the mountain and looked good. He analyzed: "Does the Black Water Dragon King exist? If it exists, what is it? Where is it now?"
"Didn't that Dragon King's Envoy say that the matter in that village was not done by the Black Water Dragon King?" Liu Qing asked, "Then why are we looking for the Black Water Dragon King?"
"There is no belief in such a liar in the world." He Zihong shook his head, "We can only write down the truth and falsehood of his words first, and then verify them step by step."
"The teacher is right." Yang Tuo said, "All the evidence at present points to the Black Water Dragon King. Especially the biometric characteristics, which are consistent with our research results, are all huge snakes."
"Mr. Lin, what do you think?" Anne asked, his beautiful eyes circling on Lin Shuo.
"The last sentence of that old liar is very strange." Lin Shuo said, "If he doesn't mention it, I may not notice it. It will be the matter of the villagers delivering sacrifices by the river tomorrow.
He had previously established his authority for the Black Water Dragon King, warning people not to get close to the waters, but in fact it was to facilitate their recycling of sacrifices in the water.
This is his most important source of income.
But why did he explain this matter to me in the end?
The most taboo thing for people in the family is to trust others easily. Especially those who are related to their own jobs, they will never reveal it easily.
The last sentence of the old man is equivalent to giving his own job to me. As for whether to smash his job or not, it depends on my mood."
"It's very abnormal." He Zihong nodded, "Mr. Lin, what are your opinions?"
"He actually wanted me to notice the sacrifice tomorrow," Lin Shuo said, "that's why he pointed it out."
"Then why did he do this?" Wei Xingshan said in a deep voice, "Does he have any motives?"
"This is not clear." Lin Shuo shook his head, "But he gave his job to me. The way the people in the door used was even more cruel than making a poisonous oath, and they often had to do it.
It seems that I will go to the riverside tomorrow."
