Rebirth: Mr. Fu will not cancel the engagement this time

And then the Snake King’s situation would not be very good, although he could still live here without going down the mountain.

But compared to the previous secrecy, after they return, the existence of the Snake King will definitely be known to all the major families.

This ability to drive a group of snakes to work for him is very attractive to people, and there will definitely be people who can't help but come to find him.

So, from today onwards, the Snake King's peaceful life will be disrupted.

This is also the reason why Gu Jinhe suggested that the Snake King go down the mountain with them. If the Snake King is unwilling to follow, they can arrange for the Snake King to live somewhere else.

At least this way no one will disturb him for a short time.

The Snake King certainly understood his situation from now on, but he had already gotten used to this place and didn't want to live anywhere else.

The Snake King said in a rough voice: "What do you want to ask?"

Gu Jinhe pursed his lips and whispered, "Have you known me for a long time?"

From the first time they met, the way the Snake King looked at her and the words he said made Gu Jinhe doubt whether he knew her.

However, Gu Jinhe knew clearly that the Snake King had been living in the deep mountains and had never come down the mountain, so there would be no intersection with her life trajectory at all.

The only explanation is that it was someone she knew, and the only people who could think of her when seeing her were her relatives.

The Snake King stared at Gu Jinhe's face for a long time before he said, "The descendant of an old friend, of course, has the manners of an old friend."

After the old friend?

Gu Jinhe frowned slightly. Didn't the Snake King say before that he came to this deep mountain when he was a teenager and never left the mountain since then? How did this old friend come from?

It can’t be that old guy Murong Qingse, right?

After all, the Snake King was arranged here by Murong Qingse, and even Murong Qingming was raised by him.

This is enough to show Murong Qingse's trust in him. He even let him guard the arms and explosives factory, which shows that he trusts him very much.

For the first time, a dazed look appeared on the snake king's thin face. He seemed to be immersed in his own memories, and his cold green eyes even had a hint of warmth.

"When I first met him, I was still a beggar on the street. He bought me steamed buns and cakes. That was the first time I knew what it felt like to be full."

"I met him again later, but this time, it was at his funeral."

"It was also at this funeral that Murong Qingse took me back to the Murong family."

"After knowing my ability to control snakes, Murong Qingse sent me to this deep mountain."

“I’ve been here for sixty years since then.”

Gu Jinhe felt something: "The person you are talking about is..."

The Snake King slowly calmed down his expression and said in a deep voice, "On his tombstone, it says, Tomb of Murong Qinglan."

The snake king lowered his eyes slightly: "He is your grandfather, I guess you don't know what he looks like."

A trace of regret flashed across Gu Jinhe's eyes. There was not a single trace of Murong Qinglan's existence in the Gu family, let alone a photo, not even a piece of handwritten letter.

So Gu Jinhe didn't know what his biological grandfather looked like.

Gu Jinhe said in a low voice: "You said I have the appearance of an old friend, do you mean I look like him?"

The Snake King looked at Gu Jinhe and said, "You don't look like him much, but whether it's in temperament or appearance, you can find some of his shadow. The person you look most like is your grandmother, the eldest daughter of the Xie family, Xie Yun."

"The first time I saw her was at your grandfather's funeral. Her expression of grief and sorrow is still fresh in my mind."

"I didn't know why at the time. Later, after I came to the Murong family, I learned about the relationship between her and your grandfather. Later, I heard that she gave birth to the eldest son of the Gu family, but I knew that it was not the Gu family's child."

Gu Jinhe said calmly: "Did Murong Qingse tell you?"

The Snake King shook his head: "It was your grandfather who told me that when your grandfather bought me buns and cakes, a photo fell out of his wallet. Your grandfather cherished this photo very much. He pointed at the beautiful girl smiling in the photo and said that she was his beloved girl and he would marry her in the future."

"I still remember that when he said this, the light in his eyes was as dazzling as the starry sky."

Gu Jinhe was slightly puzzled and asked: "Then why would you work for Murong Qingse? My grandfather's death is closely related to him."

The Snake King's face darkened. "Back then, I didn't know the deep meaning of this. I only knew that the Murong family was Murong Qinglan's family, and Murong Qingse was his elder brother. I wanted to repay the favor, so I stayed at the Murong family and told Murong Qingse about my abilities. Not long after that, I was sent here."

"During the time I lived in Murong's house, Murong Qingse did not treat me badly. He even asked a doctor to treat my body which was weakened by begging."

Gu Jinhe frowned and said, "So you guarded this place for Murong Qingse for sixty years to repay the favor?"

Snake King: "The first person I owed was your grandfather, but I had no chance to repay him. Later, Murong Qingse thought very highly of me, so I wanted to repay the Murong family. I volunteered to come here to guard the things underground and never left the mountain."

Gu Jinhe asked, "Did you know when my father died?"

Snake King: "I know. I also know that you are missing."

Gu Jinhe: "Then do you know that this matter is related to the Murong family?"

The snake king lowered his eyelids: "I know."

Gu Jinhe nodded slightly and did not continue the topic.

"You really don't want to go down the mountain?"

"The situation down here has changed a lot. Don't you want to let go of the past, put down your burdens, and start a new life here?"

The Snake King has lived here for sixty years just to guard the arms and explosives factory here, but now all these things are going to be moved out by them.

Without these things, it seems that there is no need for the Snake King to stay here any longer.

Gu Jinhe looked at the Snake King and said, "This is not the only mountain in the world. There are many famous rivers, green mountains and clear waters. Don't you really want to go out and take a look?"

I have been trapped here for sixty years for most of my life because of a favor.

If it were before, Gu Jinhe would have wanted him to go down the mountain and interact with people in society, allowing him to recover from sixty years of isolation from society.

But now I think it is better to let him travel through the beautiful mountains and rivers of this world on his own so that his long-dead heart can be rekindled.

The snake king turned his gaze to the half-cleared box and said, "I have been watching this mountain for sixty years. I am tired of it."

Gu Jinhe: "It's different. You have been looking at this place for sixty years, but how can they change?"
