Lu Zheng looked at the busy woman's back, and then looked at the portrait of Master Shen. Then he looked at Qin Feiyang and secretly said, "You guys talk, I'll go out for a walk."
"Don't mess around."
Qin Feiyang hurriedly warned him.
Lu Zheng raised his eyebrows, turned to Qin Feiyang and said, "Now I'm telling you very seriously, I'm your brother, don't meddle in my business!"
Qin Feiyang directly ignored him.
Lu Zheng turned to Lu Hong and said, "Hong 'er, as his sister-in-law, shouldn't you discipline him? He's too impolite, too outrageous. "
Lu Hong also averted her gaze and looked elsewhere.
This time Lu Zheng was embarrassed, turned around and left resentfully.
Lu Hong stared at Lu Zheng's back, then looked at Qin Feiyang and whispered, "You shouldn't have let him follow us."
"You don't understand."
Qin Feiyang sighed.
Although Lu Zheng made him feel very helpless, to be honest, he cared about this cousin of his very much.
Not for any other reason, but because Lu Zheng was his family.
He had been wandering outside since childhood, without anyone to rely on, so he longed for family more than anyone else.
When he learned that Lu Zheng was his cousin, he was very happy.
So.
No matter what Lu Zheng did? What did he say? He didn't care.
As the woman said, beating was love, scolding was love. What he needed to do now was to enjoy this rare family affection.
Lu Hong looked at Qin Feiyang deeply.
Didn't she understand?
No!
In fact, she understood.
She didn't dare to say that she understood Qin Feiyang better than anyone else, but she dared to say that no one cared about Qin Feiyang more than she did.
She also knew that the man in front of her didn't need anyone to comfort him, because he could bear it alone.
What she needed to do was to silently accompany him.
"The food is here."
A short while later.
The woman came out with three dishes and two bowls of rice, but when she saw only Qin Feiyang and Lu Hong, she asked in confusion, "Where is our benefactor?"
Lu Hong smiled and said, "Don't worry about him. He's just a person who can't stay idle."
"Alright, you guys can have a simple meal. Tomorrow, I'll make a sumptuous meal to thank you guys."
The woman smiled.
Lu Hong sat at the table and picked up her chopsticks. She smiled and said, "Then I won't be polite."
The woman said, "Eat whatever you want, as long as you don't mind."
"How could that be?"
Lu Hong smiled. She picked up a piece of meat and put it in her mouth. Chewing, her eyes lit up. She nodded and said, "It's been a long time since I've eaten such delicious food."
"Then eat more."
The woman sat at the table. After glancing at Qin Feiyang, she kept looking at Lu Hong with a smile on her face.
Lu Hong smiled and said, "Auntie, you should eat some too!"
"Okay, okay."
The woman nodded but did not pick up her chopsticks. She continued to look at Lu Hong, treating Qin Feiyang beside her as air.
Lu Hong was a little uncomfortable. She asked suspiciously, "Auntie, is there something on my face?"
"No."
The woman shook her head and said with a smile, "You really look like my daughter."
Lu Hong was stunned. It turned out that she was thinking of her daughter. She comforted her, "Auntie, don't worry. We'll help you look for her tomorrow."
"How can I do that?"
The woman hurriedly said.
Lu Hong smiled and said, "It's okay. We're all idle people. As long as Auntie doesn't mind us disturbing you, it's fine."
"I don't mind, I don't mind."
The woman waved her hand repeatedly. Then, she looked at Qin Feiyang and said, "Young man, this is a good girl. You have to cherish her!"
"Uh!"
Qin Feiyang was stunned.
Lu Hong's cheeks immediately turned red.
The woman chuckled. She grabbed the chopsticks, picked up a few pieces of vegetables, and put them in Lu Hong's bowl. Then, she said, "Eat more."
"Thank you."
Lu Hong lowered her head, not daring to look at Qin Feiyang.
"Ahem!"
Qin Feiyang coughed. The atmosphere was a little awkward. He put down the bowl and chopsticks, looked at the woman, and said, "Auntie, has anyone in your village ever entered the mysterious Gate of Immortality?"
"Yes!"
The woman nodded and said, "I remember that a dozen children were taken away by Master Shen two years ago."
"Have they ever come back?"
Qin Feiyang asked.
"No."
"Master Shen said that the Gate of Immortality is not an ordinary place. As long as you go there, you can't come back. No one is allowed to go to the Gate of Immortality to visit them."
The woman said.
Qin Feiyang frowned and said, "Don't the parents of these children miss them?"
"Yes, of course."
"But as parents, we want our children to be successful, so everyone gradually got used to it."
The woman smiled.
Qin Feiyang nodded.
That was right. Which parent didn't want their children to be successful?
But he couldn't figure out what kind of place it was that people couldn't come back after going there.
After all.
Whether it was the Divine Hall in the capital or the Pill Pagoda in the central Divine Kingdom, there was no such rule.
Qin Feiyang suddenly said, "By the way, may I ask if your family has any grudges with other people in the village?"
"Grudges?"
"Why do you ask?"
The woman looked at him in confusion.
Qin Feiyang smiled and said, "It's nothing. I just asked casually. If you don't want to say it, don't say it."
The woman thought for a while in a low voice and said with a smile, "People in our village are relatively harmonious and get along well. They won't have conflicts over small things."
"What if it's a big deal?"
Qin Feiyang asked.
The woman said, "If there is a big deal, our village chief will come out to mediate."
Qin Feiyang nodded.
Lu Hong glanced at Qin Feiyang and said telepathically, "Did you think of something?"
Qin Feiyang said to himself, "I've been thinking about why Wang Jin went missing."
"What do you mean?"
Lu Hong was suspicious.
"Wang Jin is from this village. She grew up here, and since her father passed away, she often hunted outside. She must be very familiar with the situation around the village."
"For example."
"Where is the danger?"
"Where is it safer?"
"And as a person with a little sense, it is impossible for her to go to those dangerous places."
"But why did she go missing?"
"So I'm thinking, is there something strange about Wang Jin's disappearance?"
Qin Feiyang said telepathically.
Lu Hong said to herself, "That's why you asked if this family has any grudges with others. Are you suspecting that someone might have secretly harmed Wang Jin? "
"Yes."
Qin Feiyang replied secretly.
After all, he was used to seeing scheming and scheming. He thought more than the woman.
And although this village looked very ordinary and simple, it did not rule out that there were a few scumbags.
Lu Hong said to herself, "But she also said that she has no grudges with others."
Qin Feiyang said telepathically, "We have lived together for so many years, and there is no friction at all. Do you think it is possible?"
Lu Hong shook her head.
No matter how harmonious they were, there would definitely be some disputes.
"There is definitely a grudge, but because she is very simple, she usually doesn't take it to heart."
"But just because she doesn't take it to heart doesn't mean that the other party doesn't take it to heart. Maybe the other party has already held a grudge."
"We have been traveling outside all year round. Because of a small matter, someone will die in the end. Haven't we seen this kind of thing before?"
Qin Feiyang said with a faint smile.
"Makes sense."
Lu Hong muttered to herself. She looked at the woman calmly and said with a smile, "Auntie, think carefully. Have you offended anyone in the past? Or did someone provoke you? "
"What are you trying to say?"
Although the woman was honest, she was not stupid. There must be a reason for the two of them to ask again and again.
Lu Hong said, "Don't worry about it. Tell us the truth."
"Then let me think about it."
The woman lowered her head and fell into deep thought.
Qin Feiyang and Lu Hong did not say anything and looked at her quietly.
Time passed bit by bit.
After some time, the woman finally raised her head and looked at Qin Feiyang and Lu Hong. She said, "Speaking of which, there is indeed one thing."
"What is it?"
Qin Feiyang asked.
"I remember that a year ago, the son of the village chief came to me and said that he liked Jin 'er and wanted to marry her."
"This was originally a good thing, but Jin 'er did not agree and said that she did not like him."
Although the village head's family is relatively wealthy, I will definitely respect Jin 'er's choice. "
"Later on, the village chief's son almost fell out with us because of this, but the village chief stopped him in time and taught him a lesson."
"Later on, this matter was left unsettled and I did not take it to heart."
The woman said.
Qin Feiyang's eyes flickered and he asked, "What's the character of the village chief's son like?"
"He's rather overbearing."
"But he usually treats the villagers well and often helps everyone. After all, he's young. It's normal for him to be a little arrogant."
The woman smiled.
Qin Feiyang nodded thoughtfully.
Lu Hong snickered. "Seems like you're worrying too much."
"Is that so?"
Qin Feiyang smiled faintly and did not say anything.
Lu Hong asked suspiciously, "You're not suspecting the village chief's son, are you?"
"Why not?"
"We can't ignore all possibilities."
Qin Feiyang thought.
Lu Hong said, "Then what do you plan to do?"
Qin Feiyang smiled. "Let's go take a look tomorrow and meet the village chief's son."
Lu Hong looked at Qin Feiyang helplessly and said, "Up to you!"
"Sister …"
Suddenly!
A cry of helplessness rang out from the inner room.
"Jie 'er!"
The woman immediately put down the bowl and chopsticks and ran into the inner room.
Qin Feiyang and Lu Hong also got up and walked in.
The boy had already woken up and was sitting on the bed. His young face was full of fear and his forehead was full of sweat.
"Jie 'er, did you have a nightmare again?"
The woman sat by the bed, stroking the boy's back and asked.
"I dreamed of my sister. She was eaten by a ferocious beast. Mother, I'm so scared …"
The boy threw himself into the woman's arms and cried bitterly. His bright eyes were full of helplessness.
"No, your sister will be fine. Trust me."
The woman patted the boy's back and comforted him, but her eyes were also blurred by tears.
"Sigh!"
Lu Hong could not help but sigh.
Why did God have to be so cruel to this family?
They were already very unfortunate. Couldn't God take care of them?
"Hmm?"
When the boy saw Qin Feiyang and Lu Hong, he was slightly stunned. Then, he seemed to remember something. He quickly broke free from the woman's arms and got up from the bed.
Then, he jumped in front of Qin Feiyang and Lu Hong. He grabbed their hands tightly as if he was grasping at a life-saving straw and asked, "Sister Angel, Brother Immortal, have you found my sister?"
Lu Hong shook her head.
"How could this be?"
"Is my sister really dead?"
"I don't believe it, I don't believe it …"
