Chapter 133 Is that rebirth?
"Did you hear the knock on the door, Zhou Lang?"
Zhou Lang had finished washing and was watering the fruits and vegetables on the balcony. He used to be a young man who never had to do housework. But living with Lin Shiqi, he was much closer to their daily life. At this season, there were hardly any juicy fruits and vegetables to be seen in the Kingdom of Dayu. Only the common ones, such as cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, and strawberries, were planted on the terrace of Tongxinsuo. Usually, Lin Shiqi took care of them, so he also developed the good habit of watering them when he had nothing to do.
He heard Lin Shiqi's voice and looked towards the entrance of the gate. "It seems not."
"It's not the knocking here, it's outside."
The two of them came out of the concentric lock space, and sure enough, someone was knocking on the door of their room.
The oil lamp was lit.
Open the door and take a look.
It’s the little mute girl.
He was a little worried, "Dad, Mom, is this robber coming because of me? Should I leave Taohua Village? I'm afraid of bringing disaster to the village."
Lin Shiqi was stunned. "Don't even think about it. The government has investigated this matter thoroughly. It was the bandits from Sheshan next door who did it. They were robbing everywhere for material things. Not only our Taohua Village has been harmed by bandits, but many other villages have also been harmed by them."
The little guy is quite sharp-minded.
Zhou Lang also said, "It has nothing to do with you. Just keep it to yourself."
The mute girl nodded, "Okay, Dad, Mom, let me practice my accuracy with the hidden weapon when I have time. I have nothing to do anyway..."
After killing the bandits a few days ago, Zhou Lang took back his gun.
The concentric lock space has been taken back.
Lin Shiqi knocked him on the head and said, "What are you thinking about! That thing is dangerous, and bullets are hard to come by. If you use it, you'll have one less. If it's not an emergency and you need to protect yourself, you will never use it. Just keep this to yourself and don't even think about it anymore."
The little guy uttered "oh" again.
Suddenly, I felt listless.
It seems he is addicted to playing.
Zhou Lang looked at him and said, "When we have time and have enough bullets, I will take you to the mountains to hunt wild wolves."
Now, the little guy's eyes lit up.
Feel energetic again.
"Okay, okay, Dad!"
Lin Shiqi was disgusted, wondering why men all like these dangerous things.
Her hands were shaking as she held the gun, and she couldn't pull the trigger for a long time.
Not interested at all.
Zhou Lang added, "It's just that this is a secret between the three of us. No fourth person in this world can know about it. Can you do it?"
The mute girl answered decisively, "Yes!"
After a few more words, Lin Shiqi asked him to go back to his room and sleep.
Before leaving, the mute girl suddenly said, "By the way, Dad, Mom, I know who drew the snake logo."
"Who is it?"
"Zhou Qinan. Yesterday, he came to talk to me, but I ignored him. He went to the backyard door and stayed there for a while before coming back. Although I didn't see him drawing it with my own eyes, I noticed that he was holding a small stone in his hand at the time. When he came back, the small stone disappeared. The snake logo was most likely drawn by him..."
Lin Shiqi and his wife were both stunned.
Zhou Lang said, "You are just guessing. Speculations cannot be used as evidence. Okay, go to sleep. Let the adults handle this matter."
The little mute girl hummed and went back to her room to sleep.
After he left, Zhou Lang and his wife returned to the Concentric Lock Space.
Now it was safer for them to enter the concentric lock space.
Because I could hear knocking on the door outside.
If someone comes, they will come out quickly to open the door without delay.
"If you say that Zhou Qinan drew it, I believe it. Mute Girl wouldn't just frame someone, but why would Zhou Qinan do this?"
Zhou Lang asked, "Does Zhou Qinan have any connection with the bandits in the book?"
Lin Shiqi couldn't figure it out at all. "There's no connection! In the book, the bandits in Snake Mountain were helped by Zhou Qinan after he passed the imperial examination. It's the place where Zhou Dagen and Zhou Xiaogen will go in the future. The book says that the third leader of the Snake Mountain bandits is brave and resourceful, with great martial arts skills, which made the government fail in several attempts to suppress the bandits. It was only until Zhou Qinan came up with a special way to deal with him that the Snake Mountain bandit nest was captured in one fell swoop, but the third leader was not caught and he still escaped..."
Zhou Lang raised his eyebrows, "Escaped? Any follow-up?"
Lin Shiqi suddenly had an idea. "There is a sequel! Didn't Zhou Qinan lead troops to pacify the border later? One of the deputy generals was both civil and military, very brave. The book mentioned him. It seems that he was the third leader who escaped. He gave up the dark and joined the army. Zhou Qinan put aside his past grudges and reused him. Later, he was promoted to the position of general..."
"Is it possible? Are they colluding now? Or have they been colluding for a long time?"
Zhou Lang couldn't be sure either, "It's hard to say."
Lin Shiqi's eyelids were twitching, and he always felt that nothing good was going to happen.
"In the book, have there ever been robbers in Taohua Village?" Zhou Lang asked again.
Lin Shiqi shook his head, "No. Do you suspect that he has colluded with the Sheshan bandits and is going to harm the Zhou family? But it's not written in the book. The book only says that he endured it in the early stage. It was only after he passed the imperial examination that he severed his relationship with his family. If he had colluded with the bandits, there would be no need for him to sever his relationship with his family. He could have directly planned a bandit attack on the village and killed all the people in the Zhou family that he hated. He could have used the identity of a victim to legitimately inherit everything from the Zhou family. He wouldn't have to argue and be afraid of being criticized. Wouldn't that be better?"
Zhou Lang concluded, "That means they didn't collude with the bandits before, but now they have."
After saying this, Lin Shiqi also figured out a lot of things.
"You're right! A lot of things are different from what's in the book. For example, the book says that Doctor Gong was killed because he cured Zhou Sisha to death. He killed him to avenge his uncle. Now that you're alive, he killed you too. Could he be reborn? Or has he been transported through time?"
Zhou Lang continued to analyze, "He probably didn't travel through time. Last time, he asked about our tofu recipe, which means he hasn't seen it either. He's not a time traveler."
Lin Shiqi was immediately chilled to the bone. "So he was reborn? This is even more difficult! We thought we had listened to the book and knew a little about the development of the matter, and had some advantages, but in the end, he was reborn! He has more advantages!"
What should I do?
Things are getting more and more difficult.
It was originally an attempt to change one's fate, but now it is even more difficult.
Zhou Lang was more optimistic than her. "Everything is just speculation and needs further verification. The worst-case scenario is that he is reborn and has the upper hand. He has contacted his old subordinate, the Third Master of Sheshan, in advance and uses him for his own purposes. But we also have a trump card, so there is no need to be afraid of him."
"Okay." Seeing that Zhou Lang was able to remain calm, Lin Shiqi was no longer so worried.
At the critical moment, Zhou Lang still had the demeanor of a general.
Indeed, Zhou Lang was right.
In their heart-locked space, they don't have to worry about food and drink. If any accident happens, they can hide in the space. They still have the ability to protect themselves.
Now he is in contact with Li Zu again and has weapons to protect himself.
I have the confidence to say this.
