905: C905 Suspicion

C905 Suspicion

Zhou Zhuo had always been skeptical about this scholar's identity. No matter his age or appearance, he didn't seem to be the person he was looking for. Zhou Zhuo's suspicions were just a little bit of psychological comfort to him.

Seeing everyone not saying a word, Zhou Zhuo sighed in his heart. Perhaps he had really guessed wrongly. Perhaps he had been too anxious recently and had overthought things.

After the topic was changed by Zhang Yan's father, everyone stopped talking. As a result, they continued to talk about all sorts of topics.

When it was almost nine in the evening, the meal was finally finished. This was also a custom of their Yan family village. It was to eat as long as one could eat on the first day of school. It means that you have enough money to live in the new year.

The longer they eat, the better they will live on behalf of your family. This is a good idea, so none of them urged them to clean up the table.

Qian Bin and Zhou Zhuo had decided to leave the next day. Thus, they went back to their rooms early to clean up. Although they didn't bring anything, the two of them still stayed in their rooms to discuss their own matters.

"Brother Zhou, what do you think about this scholar?"

Zhou Zhuo, who had just finished washing his hair, was held back by Qian Bin. "What do you mean what do you think?"

"Do you think he's weird?"

"No!" While wiping his hair, Zhou Zhuo said with a wry smile, "But I myself am rather strange, thinking that he could be Helian Bo."

"Actually, I don't know if he is Helian Bo or not. I just feel that he is very strange." Qian Bin held his head up as he looked at Zhou Zhuo, "I don't think he is as young as he looks."

"Why do you say that?" Zhou Zhuo did not understand.

"How should I put it? Listening to him talk makes me feel like I'm facing an old man who has read a lot of poetry."

With a "pu ci" sound, Zhou Zhuo laughed, "He's only in his forties and already an old man?"

Qian Bin rolled his eyes. "Brother Zhou, don't you think so?" Talking to him felt like talking to a father, like he could see right through you. He seemed to know everything that was on his mind. This feeling is so scary. "

Zhou Zhuo did not have such a feeling. That was because while everyone was eating, his thoughts were constantly on the matter of Helian Bo and the Announcement. On the contrary, Qian Bin, the scholar, and the others were chatting quite a bit.

"Then tell me. "What other feelings do you have that make you feel suspicious?" Zhou Zhuo sat upright, ready to listen to Qian Bin explain in detail.

"How should I put it? It's not that I'm suspicious, it's just that I feel that what he said doesn't quite fit his age."

Qian Bin started to recall the feeling he got when he was eating, "It's just like how he experienced many vicissitudes of life and tribulations of life. His words are especially philosophical. There are even words that resonate with people. "

"Perhaps it should be said this way. Listening to a scholar speak is like watching a movie. The resonance it gives makes people believe that he is the best." "Actually, Qian Bin did not know what he was talking about either." "Anyway, it's because he gives people a mysterious feeling."

Zhou Zhuo did not know what Qian Bin was feeling, but Zhou Zhuo also felt that the scholar was very mysterious. "Alright, let's stop talking. It's getting late. We should get some rest."

Although they said this, the two of them couldn't sleep at all. In truth, the wine that Zhang Yan's father had brought back was just child's play to Zhou Zhuo and Qian Bin. Back then, the wine that they had drunk in the army was much stronger than this.

They didn't go back to their rooms because they were drunk, and leaving tomorrow was just an excuse, but they felt there was nothing to discuss downstairs, so they went back to their rooms.

Unfortunately, the two of them did not sleep. Instead, they sat on the bed and thought about their own matters. Their eyes were wide open as they stared at the ceiling. It was unknown where their thoughts had drifted to.

However, time passed very slowly, and even until midnight today, Zhou Zhuo was still not asleep. Zhou Zhuo wanted to go downstairs to take a walk, so he went outside to take a breath of fresh air.

However, just as Zhou Zhuo walked up to the stairs, he heard a wave of people conversing downstairs. Zhou Zhuo quickly stopped and looked at the two people downstairs. Sure enough, he saw Zhang Yan's father and the scholar together.

Zhou Zhuo knew it wasn't polite to eavesdrop on someone else's conversation, but out of curiosity, he held his breath, standing at the head of the stairs, carefully listening to their conversation.

"What are you going to do?" Zhang Yan's father's voice entered Zhou Zhuo's ears.

"I don't have any plans. Let's just pretend I didn't know. "Don't talk about it in the future."

"Aren't you going to go back and see them?"

Zhou Zhuo was startled by what he heard, but before he could think of anything, he heard the scholar's voice again, "What are you looking at? You've already been gone for so long, do you still need to look?"0

"Are you afraid they'll blame you? Actually, I don't think they blame you. "Why else would I want to see you?" Zhou Zhuo knew that this was Zhang Yan's father's voice.

Suddenly, there was no sound from downstairs. Zhou Zhuo thought they had left, so he stuck his head out and saw the two of them still standing there. Neither of them had spoken before.

After a while, Zhou Zhuo heard the scholar sigh, "Don't you think this is a trap?"

"A trap?" Zhang Yan's father asked in surprise, "Probably not." Why do you think that? "

"I don't know. I just feel a little uneasy." The scholar sighed once more. "Otherwise, how would they know about this matter?"

"I really don't know about that. Your identity has never been told to anyone."

"I believe that."

After another moment of silence, Zhang Yan's father continued, "But if I really come looking for you, will you really not go back?"

"Don't you know about me? In my situation, what qualifications do I have? "

"But it's not your fault."

"Although that is what you say, it has been so many years after all." From his words, the scholar seemed to have many regrets.

"Actually, don't think that it's so negative. If they really do mind, then they won't come looking for you. In fact, you should think so. Why would they mind if they came looking for you? "Isn't it."

"If you don't mind, then they won't come looking for you. What's more, you heard that he's in a very bad condition, shouldn't you go take a look as well?"
