Chapter 573 Tracing the Origin
Wen Shang followed Tan Wudao and walked into the house in front of him slowly. As soon as he entered, Wen Shang was overwhelmed by the very unpleasant smell inside.Wen Shang frowned violently, feeling uncomfortable by the strong smell in front of him, and even felt a little nauseous.
"What kind of smell is this?" Tan Wudao on the side obviously noticed the smell, and covered his nose in discomfort. "It smells like a dead person."
"Uh..." Wen Shang didn't know what to say for a moment, after all, the smell like this was indeed no different from the smell of a dead person, and he didn't know what happened here.
Wen Shang looked at everything in front of him, not to mention the mess, the inside of the room was pitch black, and the dirt of old age was piled up one after another, obviously it hadn't been cleaned for several years.Wen Shang even wondered if someone really lived here, after all, there was no breath of life at all.
"Hello, is anyone there?" Tan Wudao thought for a while and asked tentatively.The sound seemed empty in the room, and no one responded at all.
Tan Wudao glanced at Wen Shang in embarrassment, smiled awkwardly and said, "It can't be that he died here, right?"
Hearing what Tan Wudao said, Wen Shang's brows furrowed even tighter.She didn't want the clues she had worked so hard to find to be interrupted like Tan Wudao said.
"No, he can't die." When Wen Shang said this, he couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart, which can be heard from Tan Wudao.
"Then you stay here first, I'll go in and have a look." Tan Wudao felt that the situation in front of him was unclear, so it was better to go to the front to find out the situation first.
"Hmm..." To be honest, facing the situation in front of her, Wen Shang was naturally a little scared, after all, she had never experienced such a thing.
"Ahem... Is there anyone outside?" At this moment, a particularly old voice came from the dark depths of the room, even a little weak. "I'm not dead yet..."
"Alive..." Wen Shang widened his eyes, looking at Tan Wudao beside him, obviously the current situation has exceeded her expectations.
Without further ado, Wen Shang followed Tan Wudao into the room. Sure enough, the room did have a strong smell, and when he came to the old man's bed, the smell was even more obvious.
Wen Shang couldn't help wrinkling his nose, but felt that it was very rude to do so, so he had to hold his breath and look at everything in front of him.
The scene in front of him was because the old man seemed to be dying so much that he was just lying on the dark bed. The bedding and sheets on this bed seemed to have not been changed for a long time, and they were really dirty.
Then this is not the scariest thing, the scariest thing is a very strange rotten smell faintly coming from the bed.
"Old man... are you okay?" Looking at the situation in front of him, Wen Shang didn't know what to say, so he could only ask tentatively.
"It's okay... I'm half-lived." The old man's tone was very calm, with an expression that looked down on life and death for a long time.As he said that, the old man lifted his quilt with his skinny hands, exposing everything here to the two of them.
It was only at this time that Wen Shang realized that the old man's legs had long been rotten, and he had suffered serious injuries.From this point of view, it is impossible to walk on the ground.
Wen Shang felt very surprised, he didn't expect the situation under the quilt to be so serious.
"Are you all right?" Tan Wudao was also very surprised when he saw his situation.Looking at the situation in pain, such an old man was able to tell others about his current situation so calmly. "If you don't go to the hospital in time in this situation, if you have a serious inflammation, it may even endanger your life..."
Although Tan Wudao didn't show much on the surface, he really admired the old man in his heart.
"If I can get out, I'll go there long ago." The old man said in a nonchalant tone, as if all this had nothing to do with him. "Things have come to this, and there is no way to change it, so be it."
"What on earth are you looking for me by then? Did you come to see me before you died?" The old man grinned when he said this. He didn't know why, although Wen Shang knew that these two were very important to him. An old man from a stranger, but the one in front of him is much more amiable than the previous one.
"We didn't expect you to be in such a situation. As for why we came to you, we came here to ask you something." Tan Wudao was obviously more polite to the old man in front of him.
"Lumpy..." When the old man heard this name, he seemed to be very upset, and couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth to show a very disgusted expression. "He is really a rascal, he is dying, and he wants to make some money from me."
"What do you mean?" Wen Shang couldn't understand what the old man said, so he couldn't help asking.
"You all said that it was Lai Pi who asked you to come here." The old man looked at the two and shook his head with regret. "I see, you were deceived by him. Tell me, how much did you pay for my news here?"
"...that's quite a lot." Tan Wudao felt a little guilty when the old man told him that.The reason why Lai Pi is called Lai Pi is that he has a bad reputation in the circle. He is not reasonable at all, let alone trustworthy. No one is willing to do business with him at all, but the thing of being deceived is also done. Not a lot.
But at this juncture, Tan Wudao thought that he could take out something valuable from him, but listening to the old man in front of him, he might have been deceived?Thinking of this, he was full of anger.
"This dog is rascal, he has done many things that hurt the nature and reason, and I have never seen him invite me to such retribution." The old man seemed to be struggling with those things all over his body, and spat hard, throwing away his disdain for Lai Pi , it can be said that the performance is incisively and vividly. "I hid it well before, and he told others where it was."
"I didn't understand at the time, why such a group of people came here so well, let alone, they broke my old bones." The old man said viciously. "It's all the letter reported by that bastard. Now I'm lying here and can't move. I can only wait to die. Only he knows I'm here."
"I see you guys, you really were probably deceived by him." The old man smiled when he said these words, but there was some helplessness in his tone.
After the old man said this, the two of them understood the matter thoroughly.It's no wonder that all the old people who entered the door hid so far away, so it turned out to be a guilty conscience.
"That old bastard... actually dared to lie to me." Tan Wudao clenched his fists. The key is that if it was his own before, it would be easy to say, but the source of the news was bought by Wen Shang with his own money. If he was cheated , but it is really not good. "It seems that this old rascal is really tired of his life."
Thinking about Tan Wudao, he felt angry, and he was about to go out, as if he would not give up until he beat the old ones to death.
"Wait." However, the angry Tan Wudao was held back by the calmer Wen Shang. "Compared to these, let's first confirm whether the old man is really what the old rascal said, and it is better to know something."
"Old man, although the two of us were deceived by Lao Laipi, according to Lao Laipi's statement, you know something. So even if this is the case, I still want to ask you." Looking at the polite group of Wen Shang The old man lying on the bed obviously hesitated for a moment.
"Little girl, please ask quickly. Before I can swallow my breath, for your kindness, I will tell you everything I know."
"Okay." Wen Shang nodded with a smile, "I heard from Lao Laipi that you used to do business with the old man of the Wen family, right?"
"Why is it the master of the Wen family again?" The old man felt strange, and at the same time, Hainan felt a little wronged in his heart.Tremblingly, he opened his mouth and said. "Because of this incident, I was beaten up by the people of the Yang family for no reason. Although it is said that I had a relationship with the master of the Wen family, that was in the past. Why is it now that it has become a kind of thing that is most interesting to me?" suffered."
"Old man, do you really know my father?" Wen Shang felt very surprised. Although he said he was deceived by the old rascal, at least he did find something useful here. "And you said you were beaten by the Yang family. Why is that? Do you know who this Yang family is?"
"What? You turned out to be a little girl from the Wen family?" The old man was also very surprised now.He didn't think of himself, before he died, he could still see the descendants of his old friends. "I don't know exactly who the Yang family is. What I know is that they stripped off this big daddy. All the things bought and sold here have to go through them. I don't care about the rest. knew."
"But a while ago, they suddenly investigated the affairs of Master Wen's family, and I was the only one who was familiar with Master Wen's family in this dam, so I got hit like this." The old man also looked very confused. "As for why they did this and what their reasons were, I have no way of knowing."
"In short, this matter is very evil, and now the masters of the Wen family have become people who must be mentioned in this dam."
Wen Shang thought about it carefully in his heart, at least until now, what he said was somewhat correct to the old rascal.
