I'm a thousand years older than you

In Patriarch Song's memory, when Wen Zihe was mentioned, he still thought of the little talkative child.

At that time, the Conquest of Obscurity had been over for several years. One day, Duan Yanlin brought the child in front of everyone, saying that he was the last blood of the Wen family, and that the Wen family had made outstanding contributions in the Conquest of Conquerment. Orphans are everyone's children, and each family should treat each other well.

The reason why the Wen family was wiped out was due to bad luck, Ying Hui was the first to attack, and because they lived in a remote place, they couldn't survive without the help of other Yaozu families.

But the main patriarchs who participated in that war back then knew the real reason clearly in their hearts.Although the child was raised by Duan Yanlin in name, each family often took him to live there for their own reasons.The Patriarch of the Rat Clan had a bit of conscience at that time, and took him to take care of him at his home for a while.

Patriarch Song was not the patriarch at that time, but just a guard, responsible for taking care of the child.Probably because he had experienced such a tragedy earlier, although the child was polite and polite, he didn't like to talk or laugh very much.Personality is not gloomy, but it always makes people feel difficult to deal with.

Song Shiwei has always done things step by step in his daily life, and he is very down-to-earth.I was assigned a task of looking after a child, and I did it seriously, and I tried my best to take the child around to relax every day.Gradually, the child was able to talk to him occasionally.

Later, it was said that the son of the Duan family came back from outside and clamored to see the little brother who was about the same age, so the child was taken back to the Duan family.Since then, the two have never seen each other again.

Unexpectedly, the reunion after nearly a thousand years turned out to be such a gesture.

The child back then became an unreasonable young master of the demon clan, but he had long since lost his upright ambition and turned into a middle-aged man struggling in the world of money.

"Hey." He smiled as if mocking himself, "The young master said it, and the love of youth has nothing to do with today, so why do you call me by my old name?"

"You have changed a lot." Wen Zihe let the knife stick/on the roof of the car, jumped out of the car lightly, opened the passenger door and sat in, "I almost didn't recognize it. I didn't think about the Patriarch they said, It will be you."

"I never imagined that the kid back then would put a knife on my neck now." Patriarch Song put the steering wheel with one hand, "If you knew it was me, would you let me go?"

As soon as the words fell, he smiled and answered himself: "Impossible."

That smile was really ugly, with an old and tired face, emerging on his greasy face, making people think he was contemptible and pitiful.

"Duan Yanlin really didn't treat you in vain. You helped him a lot, right? When the crown prince succeeds, will you go back to the mountain?"

"I happened to meet your people burning their corpses in the fire pit," Wen Zihe didn't respond to his words, "I just came all the way to find you."

"They." Patriarch Song leaned his head against the back of the chair, "Those who failed to accomplish anything and failed to do so should have been killed together."

Wen Zihe didn't comment on Patriarch Song's point of view, and lay on the cushion casually, as if he wanted to have a long talk with him: "I was actually doing other things, and it was just a coincidence that I found you."

"Then we are really unlucky." Patriarch Song said, "If we can't escape today, it will fall into your hands. There is still a little old friendship between us that can be sold. If you want to ask, just ask. .”

"You escaped so badly just now, but now you want to chat with me in a calm manner." Wen Zihe said, "You don't still think that the adult will come to rescue you, do you?"

"No." Patriarch Song knew that Wen Zihe was probing, so he simply gave him the answer, "There is indeed such an adult behind us, but if he wanted to come to rescue him, he should have come long ago."

As soon as the envoy sent by the lord left, something happened to the dining room on the back, and it took only a few minutes. It was expected that the envoy hadn't gone far, maybe he had seen all this a long time ago, but he didn't take action for a long time.It seems that he got what he wanted and planned to abandon this family.

This wishful thinking was well done, but Patriarch Song didn't want to make it so easy for the other party. Anyway, he was at the end of his journey, and those with bare feet were not afraid of wearing shoes. No matter how high the other party's status was, it would be nice to have a backrest before death.

"However, you said that he repeatedly prevented you from finding us, which surprised me." Patriarch Song said, "I thought he never cared about our lives."

"It's true that he didn't care about your lives." Wen Zihe said, "That sentence was just something I said casually. I checked all the way and didn't encounter any obstacles."

"No wonder." Patriarch Song showed a mocking smile, and he didn't know who he was laughing at, "Actually, we haven't even seen that lord's face, and we send an envoy every time."

"That messenger, his name is Zhishan, right?"

"You know all of this?" Patriarch Song sighed, "That kid back then really grew into a great man."

Wen Zihe glanced at him: "I'm not a big shot, it's you who are relatively simple."

The word "simple", when spoken in such a tone, is no different from calling someone stupid.The offensive meaning of this sentence is obvious, Song Patriarch couldn't hold back his face, and after a burst of red and white, he lowered his voice: "How do you say this?"

"Don't you suspect that the person approaching you is not Mr. Crow at all?" Wen Zihe looked at him and continued, "You are not related to him, so why did he help you? Why does only one subordinate come over every time?"

Back then, Patriarch Song made an agreement with the envoy that information about the lord would not be revealed under any circumstances. Now that he heard Wen Zihe directly name the lord, he couldn't help but feel that the secret he had painstakingly maintained was exposed. But after thinking about it again, the pierce was also pierce, just in line with what he wanted to do.

"At that time, we had just made the first order in Xijing." Patriarch Song still had a knife stuck in front of him, and he didn't mind, so he started to talk, "It was December last year, bad luck, the invisible one There are relatives in the local area, and the Sanlaoting didn't make much effort, and quickly found out the places it had been to and the people it had contacted before it disappeared, and it was only a matter of time before we were found."

"At that juncture, Mr. Zhishan under Yagongzi found us. He said, Yagongzi will find a way to save us, and we can continue this business. We started to search for invisible, this kind of monster Although the cultivation level is low, but the body maintains the most primitive edible value, plus it is very easy to catch, we sometimes trick people out of the mountains, and sometimes kidnap on the roadside. Up to now, we have killed ten of them."

"Nine." Wen Zihe corrected him.

The ID card with "104" engraved on it that he touched in the stairwell probably meant No.4 of the tenth dinner party.The first two monsters caught by the Rat Clan mentioned that there were two orders in July, counting from December last year, one per month, and this month's rescued, exactly nine.

"That's right, since you sneaked in here early, you wouldn't just ignore that invisible one." Patriarch Song folded his hands on his lap, "If you think about it this way, I really have a lot of blood on my body."

Wen Zihe didn't comment: "Go on."

"In the beginning, no human would believe in these things of unknown origin, and our situation is not suitable for publicity. We pretended to be drivers, nanny, and acquaintances of rich people, and recommended them to them. When they came over, we Just inject the gas refined from grass into the dining room, and after smelling that gas, people will become aggressive, impulsive, impatient, and not so sensitive to the concept of money." Song Patriarch said, "The people who attended the dinner later There are more and more. Some of them were cured by accident, and they are grateful to us, while some were not cured, and they didn’t give up, and they came back. It seems that they regard us as straws.”

If the meat of the Invisible Clan could really cure all diseases, it is estimated that there would be no leftovers for people to eat in ancient times.The Rat Clan is so deceitful and secretive. To put it bluntly, the people who are cheating are fools with a lot of money, and they can't stand scrutiny and questioning.

"You said that the other party may not be Mr. Crow, but it doesn't really matter to us. Because the other party has indeed fulfilled his promise and helped us block several investigations. We just want to be safe, so why don't he be Mr. Crow or Mr. Bird?" Song Song The head of the house is very open.

Now that Wen Zihe found out, he didn't care much about the case itself, and asked directly, "Will Zhishan come when you are doing these things?"

"He seldom shows up." Patriarch Song said, "He came here today and took away the things that he promised to give to Young Master Crow in exchange for protecting us."

"What?" An ominous premonition suddenly rose in Wen Zihe's heart.

"It's the 'dragon bone'." Patriarch Song said, "Our family made a lot of effort to obtain a keel that was rumored to be able to live and die during the conquest of darkness, but we haven't seen it play any role for so many years. Come on. The previous head of the family was a treasure, I think it's just a piece of trash and worthless, and even now I still suspect that old thing Duan Yanlin is playing with us."

First is Mingjian, and then the keel, which involves Duan Ya and Zhishan, two forces that seem to be entangled with each other, but in fact have faintly revealed their tendency to separate...

Wen Zihe rubbed his fingers unconsciously a few times, his brows furrowed even more.

"I told you this today, not to explain anything to the Yaozu, but just to tell you." Patriarch Song also followed him in silence for a while, and then suddenly said, "Speaking of it, I have become what I am today. A little because of you. If I hadn’t happened to overhear the conversation between the Patriarch and them back then, how would I have known the real cause of death of your family members? I thought to myself at the time, those righteous men of the Yaozu were nothing more than that, they were so despicable. It's outrageous. Since only the humble can climb to high positions, why should I be that incompatible person?"

Seeing that Wen Zihe didn't respond, he opened up his words again: "I understand, but there are people who are still confused and have been working for the monster clan. Who knows that all the people who raised him were his enemies, so treat him well." It's all because of that bit of guilt... is it ridiculous?"
