Reborn Trainer
Chapter 31 The old man
It probably has something to do with his personality, Long Ling is very emotional.At this time, listening to Jing Yun's chuckle, he felt uncomfortable, but unfortunately, he couldn't get anything good from rubbing back and forth, so he let it go resentfully, and went to the bedroom with his pants pulled.
The rooms of the two are adjacent to each other, because Long Ling only comes back at night, and the people serving in the room have been transferred to the tent in the back mountain, so this huge room looks empty and gloomy in the middle of the night.
Jing Yun didn't feel sleepy, and leaned against the window to read a book for a while. In the quiet room, only the sound of him occasionally turning the pages of the book was heard, and there were faint chirping of insects in the surroundings. came in and climbed up the window dragging its long tail.
"Squeak-"
The mouse raised its two front legs and stood up high with its tail as a support. Its long beard swayed up and down along with its constantly wriggling nose.
Jing Yun frowned, "Is that person restless?"
"Squeaky-"
Jing Yun put down the book and got up, thought for a while, took out the short knife from the cabinet and pinned it behind his waist, then flipped out of the window lightly.
The mouse led the way, and it was quick to stop and wait in front of it from time to time.Jing Yun was panting after following, detoured the path that few people usually walked, and finally saw the suspicious person.
It was so late, and the man was fully dressed and carrying a bag, obviously not looking to stay in the hotel, but walking slowly along the fenced yard with his head on his head.
As he walked, he stopped and looked around, as if he was looking for something.
Jing Yun is small, hiding in the shadow of a big tree is almost impossible to be found.He squatted down to let the mouse get into the tree hole, and slowly pulled out the dagger by himself, just waiting quietly, like a little leopard keeping an eye on its prey.
When the man came close, he stopped suddenly.He seemed to have noticed something, and his feet became lighter, and he walked around to the other side of the tree trunk as quietly as possible.
Jing Yun took a deep breath, and did not rush out immediately, but said coldly: "Who is it?!"
The man was taken aback and stopped walking, but he didn't turn around and ran away immediately.He couldn't see the speaker, he just felt that although the voice was cold, it sounded young but not very old.
But is it reasonable for a child to wander outside in the middle of the night at such a late hour?
The man was a little uncertain, and he was silent for a while and slowly said: "This...brother, I am just a passing trader, and I have no money to stay in a shop, so I want to find a quiet place to rest. Feel sorry."
Jing Yun lowered his voice very low and lightly, "Pedestrians? Do you have documents from Tongcheng?"
"Yes." The man said: "Brother, if you doubt it, I will show it to you."
There was a rustling sound behind the tree, the man seemed to take something out and said, "Aren't you going to take a look?"
Jing Yun glanced at the mouse lying on the tree hole and looking out, "Go and have a look." He said softly.
The mouse slid down the tree trunk with a jerk, and ran to the man's feet along the shadow, startling the man.
Before he could call out, it ran back again.
"A piece of cloth..." It is impossible for animals to read characters, and there is only so much news that Jing Yun can get.
Tongcheng documents are usually written on brocade and covered with a large seal of the city lord. Jing Yun couldn't tell the truth from the fake. After thinking about it, he put the hand holding the dagger behind his back and slowly walked around to the tree trunk.
"!!!" The man under the moonlight had a very familiar face, it was Su Ying who had disappeared before.
"It's you?" Su Ying was stunned for a moment, then his face showed joy, "Oh, brother Timo, do you still remember me?"
Jing Yun thought to himself: Even if your face turns into ashes, I can still recognize it. It's really easy to come here, and I'm so afraid that you won't come!
He quickly flipped the wrist hidden behind him, and the dagger was lightly sheathed, as if nothing had happened.
"Brother Su Ying?" Jing Yun raised his face and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"
"It's a long story. I'm looking for you. Oh, it's done, it's done." As he spoke, he looked Jing Yun up and down, and said, "Why is no one living in your house? You Where are Mom and Dad?"
Jing Yun tucked his hands into his sleeves, lowered his head, and put away all the cold light in his eyes, "Abba...something happened two years ago, and he passed away, and Grandma doesn't know where he went."
"Passed away?" Su Ying said in amazement: "How could it be... haven't you been alone all these years?" He took two steps forward, stretched out his hand to brush Jing Yun's head, and said in a gentle voice, "The world is really impermanent, but fortunately you It looks good, and your parents must be at ease."
Jing Yun raised his head and did not bring the topic to himself, but asked again: "What are you doing here? You said before that you would come back to me in a month, but you didn't show up. Did you lie to me? ?”
Even though Su Ying had a thick and bold face, he still felt a little complicated when he heard the child softly ask "Did you lie to me?"He rubbed the child's head, "No, I just... encountered some troubles and couldn't come as agreed. It's my fault, I apologize, but don't you think I'm here now?"
"What's the point of coming now?" Jing Yun brushed his hand away and turned to walk back, "You and my father know each other anyway. After my father passed away, I wanted to join you, but you lied to me."
Su Ying hurriedly chased after him, thought for a while and said, "Then are you still willing to join me now?"
"No." Jing Yun flatly refused, "The elder said that I will inherit the position of priest, and I can't easily leave Dragon City in the future."
"Really?" Su Ying stepped forward to stop him, with a flying look in his eyes, "Have you decided to let you inherit the position of priest?"
"Otherwise?" Jing Yun frowned, looking like a serious little old man with his hands behind his back, "My father is my only son."
Su Ying's enthusiasm suddenly faltered a little, looking at him, "Just because of this? Then you are still a few years away from becoming an adult, it may not be bad to go out with me now."
Jing Yun raised his eyebrows and walked forward noncommittally, "I'll take you back to my house to rest, and tomorrow morning you have to see the patriarch and elders. Jiuyi City can't let outsiders in and out casually, you have to explain in detail how you got in. Fortunately, I found you today, otherwise, if someone else saw you, you would have to go to jail."
"Hehe, Timo has clearly separated public affairs and private affairs. Your father has indeed raised a good son." Su Ying patted Jing Yun on the shoulder, "If he has knowledge under the spring, he will be proud of you."
Early the next morning, Jing Yun brought Su Ying to meet the patriarch and elders.Su Ying handed over the Tongcheng document, which was the cooperation condition he had agreed with the elders back then.
But the elders were obviously dissatisfied with what he gave back.
"You have been missing all these years. What about the news of the Tiger Clan? What about business?" Elder Zhi patted his knee, "I thought I was tricked into getting a document by you, and I haven't been able to sleep well for the past two years!"
Jing Yun wanted to know that the elder was exaggerating, he was the most reassuring among these elders.Really eat well, drink well and sleep well.
Su Ying explained in a calm manner: "I don't want to breach the contract either, but something happened and there is really nothing I can do about it."
As he spoke, he spread out a map in his hand on the spot, and several plots of land had been densely circled with red circles on it. Long Ling recognized it at first sight, it was actually a map of the Tiger Clan.
"Two years ago, the Tiger Clan and the Wolf Clan had contact for the first time." Su Ying calmed everyone down as soon as he opened his mouth. Actively govern the country, you see..."
He pointed to the circled place on the map, "These cities were originally taken care of by the younger sister of the leader of the Tiger Clan, but now they have a problem with the concept of governing the city. In the past two years, their relationship has become more and more serious. Too bad, even these cities have had a lot of trouble."
Elder Zhi looked at him, "What does that have to do with your small tribe?"
"We are near the Tiger Clan and not far away, so why is it okay?" Su Ying shook his head, "We usually do business between the Tiger Clan, the Wolf Clan, and the Eagle Clan, but now they are in trouble, and the Wolf Clan The Clan and the Tiger Clan are tearing their skins apart, and our business is not easy to do."
Elder Xian closed his eyes slightly, always looking like he couldn't tell whether he was asleep or awake, and said, "You are in a hurry to support your family, so you can't take care of us?"
"It's not like that." Su Ying scratched his face in embarrassment, "The relationship between the Tiger Clan and the Dragon Clan has always been bad, and you can't count on doing business with your two families, and the Wolf Clan doesn't need things from the Dragon Clan, and there is nothing to do with them. Already." He paused, and said with a smile: "I really want to support my family, so I had to find another way out, so I was delayed."
"Can't you come and report a letter?" Elder Xian said, "You promised us to pass on the news of the Tiger Clan."
"Isn't it here now?" Su Ying spread his hands, looking like a businessman who was haggling and slapstick, "The Tiger Clan has gone into trouble, and the management of the surrounding tribes has also become stricter. They usually squeeze us less. It's not because they are afraid of the backyard. Is it a fire? How can I pass the news on the cusp of the storm? And the matter is not yet settled, why don't I just come now."
As he spoke, he took out a few more things from the bag.
Jing Yun poked his head to look, only to see a tattered book and a painting.
"This is something I have managed to get upside down, so I don't want people to see it so easily." He said carefully, pushing the thing forward, "You have to look at it before you talk about it."
Jing Yun glanced at the book, the cover was so rotten that he couldn't tell what it was called.The painting was circulated by several elders, but Long Ling was not in a hurry to come, instead he sat on the head and drank tea calmly.
Jing Yun thought for a while, ran to Long Ling and lowered his voice, "Let's go out, I have something to tell you."
Long Ling nodded, put the teacup away and said, "The elders will watch first, Jing Yun and I will go out for a while."
As he spoke, he got up, and the old men seemed to have seen something incomprehensible, and they were discussing it vigorously, and they didn't bother to stop the patriarch's rude behavior.
The two got out of the tent and walked a long way before finding a shady place to stop.
"What do you want to say?" Long Ling asked.
"Su Ying has a problem." In the past, Jingyun had no evidence or clues, but now he said firmly: "I suspect that he has something to do with the Tiger Clan. Even if it's not the Tiger Clan, there must be someone behind him."
Long Ling frowned, "How?"
"I found him sneaking around last night, but the first time he saw me he said 'I'm looking for you', don't you think it's strange? Why did he look for me instead of looking for Mom and Dad? Although later He asked about my father and mother, but... I feel that is not his purpose."
Long Ling was clear at one point, and then he said: "You mean, he already knew that they were no longer there, regardless of life or death, at least he was sure that they were not in Jiuyi City, and his purpose...is to find you?"
Jing Yun nodded, and incidentally said the agreement he had made with the man as a joke.
"After Dad's accident, I went to wait for him at the appointed time, but he didn't come."
Long Ling narrowed his eyes, "Is this also the reason why he hasn't appeared in Dragon City in the past two years?"
"I don't know." Jing Yun said: "But there must be something wrong with him, you have to be careful."
The rooms of the two are adjacent to each other, because Long Ling only comes back at night, and the people serving in the room have been transferred to the tent in the back mountain, so this huge room looks empty and gloomy in the middle of the night.
