Chapter 182
Zhang Yalin: "..."
Compared to Zhang Lan, he is more like a lady. Apart from being released from the cage, he never leaves or steps out of the door on weekdays. He has only a handful of contacts with Xie Wen, not as much as Aunt Zhang anyway.
The only encounters we had were polite and distant. It was rare for us to have such close contact, and we were completely blown away.
But Zhang Yalin is a man who has seen the world and will not fall off the stage so easily. He straightened his face and added, "It's been hot and humid lately, and I've got pharyngitis."
Wen Shi by the window finally lowered the curtain, turned around and walked towards the sofa. Without raising his eyes, he said, "I've chased the pigs, but I still have sore throat."
Zhang Yalin: "..."
If Xie Wen's attempt to dismantle the situation was by carelessly pulling on a pillar, then this one was carrying explosives to blast.
Maybe it was because the words were too blunt, so Xie Wen just laughed, tilted his head and coughed for a while.
Laugh your ass off.
Wen Shi glanced around and saw that the longest sofa was occupied by Zhang Lan, Zhou Xu and Xia Qiao, a single sofa was occupied by Zhang Yalin, and the other one was occupied by Xie Wen.
"Shall I give it to you?" Xie Wen turned around and could tell with just one glance what he was thinking about.
As a result, when he was about to stand up, he was rejected by Wen Shi.
"No." He whispered and sat on the armrest of Xie Wen's sofa.
The armrests are wide and not too high, so it's perfectly normal to serve as a temporary seat. His original intention was to ask the Zhang Lan siblings why they were following them, but when he actually sat down, he felt that the position was a bit subtle.
But if you stand up and change to standing at this time, it will only be more subtle.
So Wenshi took off the thread wrapped around his fingers and didn't move.
Compared to him, Zhang Yalin opposite him was obviously more unable to sit still. Most of the people the siblings had contact with in the past were euphemistic people. Even if they were straight-tempered, they would be restrained when directed at them. It's rare to see someone like Wen Shi.
Zhang Yalin was embarrassed for a long time, then simply spread out and said: "What we did was a bit presumptuous, but it was indeed too curious."
"What are you curious about?" Wen Shi pulled the puppet string and raised his head.
"I'm curious why you are so powerful but your name doesn't appear on the family tree." Zhang Yalin thought for a moment and then said, "I'm curious where you came from to be such a genius."
When hearing it: "..."
This man spoke too seriously and seemed a bit sour. He couldn't get used to it, so he replied stiffly: "I'm not some genius. I've been studying for many years."
This was not false in the first place, so when I heard it, it was true and calm.
"As for why there is no name." Wen Shi frowned and said, "Ask for your picture."
He actually couldn't think of an excuse, so he threw the question back. But because of that frown, in the eyes of Zhang Yalin, a person who is accustomed to being tactful and roundabout, it brought out a feeling of complaint and dissatisfaction.
Therefore, he understood that it was not that the disciple of the Shen family had deep thoughts and was hiding something, but that there was something wrong with the truth.
Since the later repairs to the famous genealogical map were made by the Zhang family, Zhang Yalin was inexplicably at a disadvantage and unknowingly found himself at a disadvantage.
"By the way, I just saw that the puppet you released seems to be close to a snake?" Zhang Yalin said.
He was still very euphemistic and said "close to", but in fact there is still some difference. For example, the eldest disciple of the Shen family's snake has no wings and no fire flowing from its body. At most, its scales are a little red, like sparks that failed to ignite.
The most important thing is that this time he saw with his own eyes that the snake was wrapped in chains, but the chains were fewer than most puppet masters.
This is already very, very powerful. Among the people Zhang Yalin has met in his life, he can indeed be ranked first or second.
No wonder the Shen family's line jumped up and stood shoulder to shoulder with him.
But compared to the person who actually used the snake, it was still far behind.
Zhang Yalin, with an eight-thousand-meter filter and some rationality, saw a world of difference between the Shen family's eldest disciple and his idol.
"I'm not afraid of your jokes. I heard Dadong and Xiaoxu describe your puppet a few days ago, and I subconsciously thought of this person."
In order to ease the embarrassment of following, Zhang Yalin also asked Wen Shi and the others to put down their guard, and simply recounted his own mental journey, "If you are a student of puppetry, you must know that the most commonly used puppet by the ancestor back then was also the tango snake."
"Of course, although the judge has cultivated to live a little longer than ordinary people, he can't escape life and death. They are all people at the level of ancestors. Like several other ancestors, they have long been a handful of gold, and people die like lamps. "Destroyed." Zhang Yalinsi said politely and quite seriously: "But there is no guarantee that you are one of his descendants or reincarnations."
Zhang Lan, as a person with the highest level of Bagua, interjected at the right time: "When people get married, they will have offspring..."
Zhang Yalin was silent for a second, then turned to look at her sister: "Of course I know."
"When I think about it later, I think my reaction was a bit ridiculous." Zhang Yalin turned back to Wen Shi and said, "But your strength is there, so my sister and I couldn't help but want to come and take a look. After hearing what my sister said to you before, There's a bit of a misunderstanding, we want to take this opportunity to get in touch with you, and if we can make more friends, that would be great."
Perhaps for the sake of making friends, Zhang Yalin chose the most conservative angle and started with his preferences——
He thought about the tan snake and asked, "So do you also appreciate that ancestor?"
The word "ye" is very spiritual.
What's even more spiritual is that Aunt Zhang has a habit of trying to make things difficult for her younger brother, and adds: "I appreciate that I kept a few things from that genius ancestor as a treasure. I pay my respects in the morning and evening, and I have to take them with me when I go out."
