Chapter 221 Life is like a play (17)
“What started?”
The mayor didn’t know what Wen Chan meant, and when she was about to speak again, he immediately interrupted her words.
"After his death, you accidentally got a way to let him live with you forever. Do you do it or not?"
Only by constantly raising questions will the other party be able to You will be led by your own nose.
The mayor is not very good at fighting. He had been fighting with Zhong Lian for a long time, and now he is in a state of embarrassment.
Now that I am getting older, I really don’t want to bother anymore.
Especially these precious things of my own are of no use to these two people, so it is better to find a way to delay them.
"I won't die." Zhong Lian was already lying on his side on the tool table.
He supported his head with one hand and one leg, watching the excitement from behind as if it had nothing to do with him.
The mayor was too lazy to pay attention to him and stared at Wen Chan, waiting for her answer.
Wen Chan put the copper coin sword on his shoulder and looked at the mayor, "Didn't you listen to him? He won't die."
The mayor: "..."
Where does this confidence come from? Is it because Zhen Lian is not a normal person?
He tilted his head and asked Zhong Lian the same question, "Then if Wen Chan dies, there is a way to make her live by your side forever. Will you do it?"
< br>
Zhong Lian said without hesitation: "Do it, why not do it?"
The mayor secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then shouted angrily: "Then why do you stop me? This didn't happen to you, You opened and closed your mouths, and you said everything!"
Wen Chan asked in confusion: "What did we say?"
The mayor: "..." Oh. , they really didn’t seem to say anything.
He asked and they answered...
"You just asked him to bite me to death. Don't you just think that what I did is harmful to God? Do you want to do justice for God?"
The mayor said: "Obviously we are all the same kind, and we can do anything for the people we love. Anything, and now you are here to stop me..."
"Excuse me." Wen Chan raised her hand to stop. Gesture, "First of all, we are really curious about what you are going to do, but we wanted to kill you just now because you said you wanted to lock us two up as your petri dish."
"This is a threat. Our own lives are on the line, why can’t we take action?”
The mayor: “…Then you…”
"..."
He did ask a lot of questions, and the other party was led by his nose, asking and answering questions.
But these answers were completely different from what he thought!
He doesn’t even know what to say now.
It took a long time before he asked a few more questions.
"Then what are you doing here for so long? Just to see what I want to do? Have you seen it now?"
The mayor patted the dust on his hands and stood up from the ground.
The sandalwood was still burning in the stove next to it, and the sandalwood was mixed with a strange fragrance that made people dizzy.
The mayor continued: "My wife passed away seventy years ago..."
Halfway through the words, Zhong Lian abruptly interrupted, "You lie! You ugly You married your wife only ten years ago. Are you seventy years old? Why did you die seventy years ago?"
"..."
Wen Chan couldn't help but look back at Zhong Lian again.
Zhou Lian seemed to be unable to sit still, and now his posture changed again.
The only thing that hasn't changed is the slightly childish smile on his face.
"Finally pity." Wen Chan called out.
"Hey!" He agreed quickly, the smile on his face widened a little, and he also called her name, "Cicada."
Wen Chan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled at him. , "Well done."
Praising him for knowing even these details and exposing the mayor's lies.
"Hehe." Zhong Lian tilted his head and smiled.
Incredibly pure.
A secret feeling of guilt arose deep in Wen Chan's heart.
She had a bad feeling.
It feels like his childlike appearance is his true form in this copy.
This adult appearance was just to satisfy her.
This is a very bad idea.
But what does Zhong Lian mean by this?
Does the mayor really have an ugly wife?
"Who are you?" The mayor suddenly shouted at Zhong Lian.
Attitude says everything.
What Zhong Lian said is true.
Zhong Lian blinked, "Don't you know? It's just a wandering corpse."
"What exactly is a wandering corpse?" Wen Chan asked.
“That’s it!”
Zhong Lian jumped down from the tool table, ran to Wen Chan, hugged her and explained in a low voice: “It’s the corpse wandering around...”
Wen Chan: "..." Oh, is it just a literal meaning?
Zhong Lian leaned close to her ear and added, "But I'm not a corpse, Cicada knows that."
He doesn't even know what he is, but he is indeed not a corpse.
As Wen Chan said, he should be a monster.
Fortunately, Cicada is not afraid of him.
"You are definitely not a simple wandering zombie!" The mayor was a little panicked at this moment, "What do you know?"
"I don't know anything." Zhong Lian hugged Wen Chan and took two steps back, keeping distance from the mayor. "You are so fierce."
Wen Chan glanced at him.
He may have really known nothing before, but from just now, something was vaguely wrong with him.
It seems that... there are some more memories, or to be more direct, he has awakened his identity in this copy again.
The only thing Wen Chan was sure of was that the person holding her was still Zhong Lian.
"Stop pretending and tell him!" Wen Chan poked him with her elbow, "Tell your story and let me, the judge, decide whose problem it is."
"Oh, Cicada is like this. "..." Zhong Lian opened his mouth to say.
The mayor on the side shouted, "Shut up!"
He picked up the thing closest to him and threw it at the two of them.
Zhou Lian picked up Wen Chan, spun him around in circles, and stepped aside.
"I told you he was so cruel."
Ignoring the mayor's feelings, he quickly said to Wen Chan: "One person did die seventy years ago, but the mayor was not born yet at that time."
“The house where the mayor lived was a big house in those days, and big houses were full of ghosts and ghosts. I will always believe it.”
“When I first moved in, I would have some strange dreams at night, and I would still feel it when I woke up the next day.”
"He didn't take it seriously at first. Dreams are something everyone has more or less."
"But then he met a daughter-in-law in his dream, that is, the beautiful Aunt Liu whom Cicada saw." "After that, the two have been having trysts in dreams, and the hazy sense of reality made him indistinguishable. Reality or dream?"
"Later he found a book in the Buddhist hall, which recorded that bone incense can be made by boiling oil and ashes. Make the people around you the ones you care about most, among which baby oil is the purest.”
“There is a premise here that it must be the people around you. In order for Aunt Liu to be with you day and night. A year ago, despite everyone's obstruction, I randomly found a woman to marry."
"The ugly and fierce one I saw when I wasn't smoking bone incense."
At this point, Zhong Lian pursed her lips and murmured in a low voice, "I remember she was a nice person before. She should have known that she was cheated after she got married, so her personality changed."
After muttering, she started again. He said loudly, "Anyway, he used the legend of Wawa Mountain to trick people into going up the mountain and throwing children away, and then secretly made bone incense here."
"He really made it. ! With too much bone fragrance, Aunt Liu becomes that Aunt Liu."
Wen Chan crossed her arms and looked at the mayor with squinted eyes, then suddenly turned to look at Zhong Lian, "You said he is. Using the legend of Wawa Mountain? Didn't this legend start with him?"
Zhou Lian rubbed her cheek, "Of course not, how old was he when the Wawa Mountain fire happened?"
“But it’s true that he’s been doing it in recent years.”
“In order to convince others and make greedy people jump into the trap, he did not hesitate to sell off his property and collect some gold, silver and jewelry to put this legend on the back burner. Real. ”
Only when it is real will people who want money come one after another.
Wen Chan finally remembered what was wrong!
She said that the day she arrived at the mayor's house, she felt something was wrong.
It's empty!
In a very luxurious mansion, every yard is empty and lacking something.
It turns out that it was because we sold off our property and there was nothing left at home.
"So the child god is real." Wen Chan concluded this sentence.
There must be this legend before someone can imitate it.
Zhong Lian was stunned for a moment, then averted his gaze, "It's not true...then what...the first couple to become rich had rich ancestors, so it's normal for them to dig out some property in their own yard."
< br>Wen Chan raised her eyebrows, "What about the back?"
Zhong Lian said: "The cheating woman in the back, her behavior Although it is immoral, it will not lead to death, so I used her child to exchange for some money so that she would not be unable to live without the man. Unexpectedly..."
Wen Chan sighed casually. , "You are quite kind."
Zhou Lian smiled shyly, "Hehe..."
He suddenly stopped in the middle of laughing, and turned his head stiffly to look at Wen Chan.
Wen Chan crossed her arms over her chest and looked at him with a half-smile.
Zhou Lian: "..."
Exposed!
The mayor, who had been exposed, was still in the process of collapse. Suddenly he seemed to hear something, and stared at Zhong Lian with red eyes, "Are you a child god?"
Zhong Lian denied: "I'm not. If I had money, I would save it myself."
It's impossible to give it to others, all his money will be saved for Cicada!
Give it all to her then!
This legend has been given to him once for so many years, and not much.
The fortunes of those behind him have nothing to do with him.
Later, it was the mayor who gave the money.
He himself felt baffled.
"So you..." Wen Chan gently held Zhong Lian's hand, "You were also thrown into the mountains when you were a child?"
"Woo hoo... Chan Chan..." Zhong Chan... Rei instantly burst into tears.
"Others ask me if I am a child god, but you are the only one who cares about whether I was thrown away. Woo hoo..."
Wen Chan: "..."
No, she also wanted to ask.
But he denied it just now, so she changed her story.
Now that Zhong Lian is crying like this, Wen Chan is embarrassed to tell the truth.
Stretched out his hand to hold him in his arms, patting his back to comfort him, "Be good, we are true love, of course I am the only one who cares about you."
"Cicada, you are so kind." Zhong Lian wiped his tears on her shoulder.
Mayor: "..."
True love is usually not spoken like this.
With Wen Chan's attitude, Zhong Lian felt much more at ease.
He took the initiative to tell his situation, "I was indeed abandoned, but I don't know why I survived again. I lived alone in the mountains for a long time. Later I saw a child following me. I don’t quite understand why they were thrown away...but it’s not difficult to understand if you think about it carefully.”
"In those days, it was a problem to feed oneself, let alone raise a child. If I didn't pick them up, they would be picked up and eaten by others."
"Later I picked up some live children. , I will try my best to let them survive using my method. I have no choice now..."
Wen Chan: "Your solution is..."
Zhou Lian looked innocent, "Eat dirt!"
Wen Chan: "...it's surprising that he survived!"
Zhong Lian pondered, "So there were a lot of people who died later, so I took them out to make a living. Later, the legend of Wawa Mountain was caused by the mayor."
Wen Chan: "..." So he joked Those people in the team should be the children he picked up?
They are also the ones with the greatest fate. They survived by eating dirt when they were young.
Wen Chan was silent for a while, then patted Zhong Lian on the back, "I didn't expect the baby to be so hard, I feel so distressed."
Are the others in the troupe alive Wen Chan She didn't care, but she was sure that Zhong Lian must have died after being thrown away.
It's just that his situation is special, and he "lived" again after death.
Despite this, he still maintained his kindness and wanted to save other children.
Those people in the troupe now seem to have been well raised by him, and they also have skills, so that they can make money and survive without him in the future.
Thinking of this, Wen Chan did feel a little distressed, but after saying it from her mouth, she always felt a little uneasy.
"Cicada~" Zhong Lian didn't care whether Wen Chan was being sincere or not, he felt happy to be able to say such words from her mouth.
"Then kiss me." He rubbed Wen Chan's neck and brought his face to Wen Chan's mouth.
Wen Chan lowered her head and kissed him on the lips.
Zhou Lian hugged her and smiled shyly.
The mayor: "..."
Zhou Lian was shy for two seconds, then squinted at the mayor and mocked: "You talk about your beloved every day, you and Can Aunt Liu be like me and Cicada?”
Mayor: "..."
Who would think that you are so shameless!
But it’s really hard to live a shameless life like them.
Zhong Lian continued: "Oh... you seem to have changed your last name for her, but you are the one who benefits from this."
"Oh?" Wen Chan had a gossipy expression on her face. .
"Cicada, did he ask you to call him Mayor Liu?" Zhong Lian asked.
"There is such a thing." She always thought that calling her Aunt Liu was because of Mayor Liu, but wasn't it?
"Aunt Liu is because her surname is Liu, and the mayor uses the surname Liu so that she can live in the Liu family's mansion openly and pretend to be the Liu family."
"Shut up. !” The mayor said angrily: “I’ll follow you. In a relationship like a lover, what’s hers is mine, and what’s mine is hers. What does it mean to be incestuous? Why can’t I live in it?”
Wen Chan: “If you insist, we usually don’t care about your situation. Call your son-in-law.”
"If I don't insist, the person you married is not Aunt Liu. Aunt Liu was just a drug you took... ah, no, it was imagined by inhaling incense. You are called a dove occupying a magpie's nest."
