Chapter 116 Wu Chonggu
In the night sky, Mr. Wu looked cautious.
These two masters whom he didn't know at all made him worried.
Fortunately, Mr. Wu Zhu from Fushan City was here, which made him feel a little more at ease. At least Master Wu Zhu is here to prove that these two masters are not evil people.
When Lu Heng saw that the old man had regained consciousness, he smiled and said, "Mr. Wu, do you remember what happened before you woke up?"
"Huh? Before waking up?" Wu Yuan was startled and recalled subconsciously.
Then he looked horrified.
"I...I'm dead?!"
Mr. Wu looked at his translucent hands and his strange situation suspended in the night sky in shock, and immediately remembered everything he had experienced during his lifetime.
"I...I was poisoned by the traitor, and I'm already...dead..."
Recalling the poisonous and heart-wrenching pain before his death, as well as Nizi's arrogant and proud laughter, Wu Yuan couldn't help but shudder, hating and hurting.
Lu Heng couldn't help but sigh when he saw the old man's appearance.
In the information He Lanzhen provided to him, it was mentioned that the cause of death of Mr. Wu was suspicious.
Before the old man died suddenly, he was in good health and had no hidden diseases, so he should not have died. But he died suddenly and suddenly a few days ago, and the cause of death was strange.
Now listening to what the old man said, there is indeed another hidden reason behind his death.
Lu Heng asked, "May I ask Mr. Wu, what is the name of the murderer who assassinated you? Lu may be able to seek justice for you."
The old man looked at the white-clothed Lu Heng in front of him and hesitated, "I wonder... what should I call this expert?"
Lu Heng smiled and said, "I'm down at Hanyu Mountain, Lu Heng. The old man's father and Mr. Lu had a relationship with each other eighty-nine years ago. Now he comes down the mountain to take care of his old friend... Mr. Wu doesn't have to." Jingyou, I am not a demon, Helan Wuzhu can guarantee you."
After Lu Heng finished speaking, He Lanzhen on the side said seriously.
"The Wolf God is the god of Hanyu Mountain. His deity is noble and upright, and he rewards good and evil. Now that He has spoken, it is your Wu family's good deeds. You can speak frankly to the Wolf God, and there is no need to hold anything back."
He Lanzhen's assurance made Wu Yuan breathe a sigh of relief.
But after he felt relieved, he began to be confused about what Lu Heng said.
"My father's old friend...eighty-nine years ago..."
The old man frowned and thought for a long time, and then he suddenly realized, "Senior, it turned out to be the wolf brother that my father had been thinking about before he died? Did the story my father told back then turn out to be true?"
The old man's surprised reaction made both He Lanzhen and Gu Zhou curious.
Lu Heng said that after coming to Fushan City to meet their old friends, they all thought that the Wu family should know something about this matter. But now it seems that even the old man of the Wu family doesn't seem to know about the existence of the wolf god?
Lu Heng couldn't help but be curious, and asked with a smile, "I wonder what Brother Wu Chonggu Wu said about me back then."
Lu Heng could tell that the Wu family didn't know about his existence. Maybe Wu Chonggu hadn't mentioned their agreement back then? Or maybe the people of the Wu family don't think a wolf demon can help them?
Mr. Wu thought about it for a while and then said.
"When my father passed away, the younger generation was only six or seven years old. He was the youngest among the brothers."
"My father did not tell us the story of our senior in detail. He just learned that he was suffering from a serious illness and wanted to take a walk before he became seriously ill. He also went to Firestone City in the north to visit his sister who has been married for many years."
"More than ninety years ago, one of my younger generation's aunts married away to Huo Shi City in the northernmost part of the Huotong Kingdom. Because the two places were so far apart, my aunt rarely went back to her parents' home to visit her relatives after getting married."
"Afterwards, Firestone City was placed under the ownership of the Xiong Kingdom. The borders are separated, and access is even more inconvenient."
"My father missed his sister and wanted to go to Firestone City to see her again before he returned to this world. Under the protection of his family's guards, he traveled north to the Bear Country. However, he was attacked by monsters on the way back. The guards were all killed except for my father. Barely escaped."
"Later, I met a southbound caravan in Luoye City and followed that group of merchants back home. But by that time, my father's condition was getting worse."
"He was already suffering from a serious disease, but due to the back and forth fatigue and the fear of attacks by monsters, his body reached its limit."
"On the second day after returning home, my father fell into a coma and seemed to be running out of fuel."
"Although I asked the witch doctor from the Fire Temple to take care of me, I couldn't reverse the condition. In the last days of my father's life, he was sometimes sober and sometimes confused, and his words were always confusing."
"When I was serving my mother at the bedside, I occasionally heard my father calling for my senior."
"But even what he called was barely clear..."
When the old man said this, he looked a little melancholy. Recalling the past reminded him of the scene when he was a child and watched his father die.
At that time, he was still young and ignorant, and did not feel sad.
However, now that he is an old man, he has experienced the pain of separation from birth, old age, illness and death, and he is no longer the same child as before.
The old man couldn't help but feel sad when he thought of his father's miserable condition before his death.
After a long silence, the old man came back to his senses, quickly cheered up, and apologized to everyone in front of him.
"Sorry, junior was a little distracted..."
Lu Heng sighed and said, "Nothing, Mr. Wu can continue talking, I'll wait and listen."
The old man looked a little frightened, and hurriedly held the junior ceremony, "Senior, I am an old acquaintance of my father, just call me Wu Yuan."
After saying this, seeing that Lu Heng did not blame him, the old man continued, "On the last day before my father passed away, he regained a brief lucidity. That day, my father called all of us brothers and two aunts to his bedside and told us about his affairs."
"At the end, my father told us about his encounter with the senior in Hanyu Mountain. He said that he encountered a vicious tiger in Hanyu Mountain and it was the senior who came forward and saved his life."
"In order to repay the senior for saving his life, he took the initiative to build a temple for the senior so that the senior could enjoy incense. But when telling this story, my father was already a little confused and dazed, and even when we called him I can't hear anything."
"He just stared blankly at the north, calling the senior incoherently, talking about the horror of the monsters and the senior's life-saving grace. But those incoherent words made it impossible to understand what he meant."
Speaking of this, the old man looked miserable, and couldn't help but sighed, saying, "The elders in the family all said that my father was already in a coma at that time, and what he said was all hysterical nonsense, so we didn't take my father's words before his death seriously."
"But I didn't expect that the senior would actually come to visit today... If my father was still alive, he would be happy to see the senior come to Fushan City and no longer feel uncomfortable. "
