After lunch, Vice Chief Liu instructed the police to send Jiang Kevin and Lin Jianmu to the Lin Village. He also considerately told Little Sun not to drive a police car.
Lin Jianmu suggested, "Officer Sun, if it's possible, let's drive a car with a high chassis. Our village's roads are not easy to traverse."
Little Sun picked out an SUV from the road. When he pulled out of the SUV, Lin Jianmu's eyes lit up. If he didn't know how to drive, he might have volunteered to drive.
Jiang Chen casually sat in the back and closed his eyes to rest. He pretended that he did not notice Little Sun's desire to chat.
Almost a day had passed since the incident, but Little Sun still remembered the shock when he first boarded the bus. He was extremely curious about Jiang Kevin, who had caused one death and two injuries.
However, Jiang Kevin was resting, and he could not disturb him without permission. The scene yesterday made Little Sun feel reverence towards Jiang Chen.
While Little Sun was hesitating, Lin Jianmu was overexcited. Jiang Kevin closed his eyes to rest his mind as he arrived at Lin Jia Village shakily.
The Lin Family Village was located on a flat piece of land in front of Fallen Leaf Mountain. The village was very small, around one hundred households, and there were less than six hundred people in the entire village. To the south were farmland, and to the north were mountains.
The small village was very poor, so the young capable people all went out to work, and the weak ones worked in the fields at home. In addition to its remote location and rugged roads, few cars or even SUVs drove in.
It would be nice if anyone had a van.
Therefore, when the SUV entered the village of Lin Jia Village, it quickly caused a sensation in the village. Many children ran with the car, cheering. They all wanted to see more of the car that they saw on TV.
Even the adults were pointing and discussing with envy in their eyes.
The car under Lin Jianmu's command drove up to Jiang Kevin's grandmother's house. The three of them got out of the car.
"Mu Zi, why did you come back in this car?" When they saw Lin Jianmu jump down from the car, everyone started to clamor. They never thought that it would be him.
Lin Jianmu grinned, "Second Uncle, let's talk later." Then he raised his voice, "Third Grandpa, Uncle Feng Mao, a guest has arrived at your house."
"Who's here?" Lin Fengmao and Guo Caiyun, who had just returned from the field and were on their way home, heard Lin Jianmu's words from outside the crowd. Lin Fengmao separated the crowd and asked as he saw the SUV parked outside the door.
Lin Jianmu immediately pulled two people over and brought them in front of Jiang Kevin. He said with a grin, "Uncle, Aunt, who do you think this is?"
Unexpectedly, this action only brought back two pairs of blank eyes.
Lin Fengmao and Guo Caiyun did not know who Jiang Chen was. Ever since their younger sister had gone to university, they had not seen her, let alone her daughter. Even his sister's funeral had ignored them. The Jiang family just picked up the two old men and brought them back as soon as it was over.
Lin Jianmu was at a loss for words. He had never thought that this uncle and aunt did not know their nephew.
When Jiang Kevin saw this, he introduced himself, "Uncle, Aunt, you may not know me, but you should know my mother. My mother is Lin Fen."
Listening to Jiang Chen's words, the expression on Lin Fengmao and Guo Caiyun's face fluctuated as they looked at her with a complicated expression. After a long while, Lin Fengmao finally said, "Let's go in first and talk later."
When the four of them entered the house, it was eerily quiet. Lin Jianmu looked at this and that and finally felt that something was not right, "That … .Uncle, Aunt, I still haven't returned home. I'll be leaving first."
Guo Caiyun responded with an 'oh'. "Mu Zi, are you going to eat here tonight?"
Lin Jianmu quickly waved his hand, "No need, my family will definitely cook for me. "About Kevin, I'll be leaving first."
Jiang Kevin stood up and said, "I'll send you off."
By the time they reached the door, the crowd that had been attracted by the car had dispersed long after it had left.
Lin Jianmu looked at the yard and patted Jiang Kevin's shoulder as he whispered, "If you don't want to stay at your uncle's house, you might as well stay at my house. My house has a lot of houses."
In Lin Jianmu's eyes, he and Jiang Kevin had shared life and death together.
Jiang Kevin shook his head and said, "No need, thank you."
Lin Jianmu waved his hand and left.
Back outside the house, Jiang Chen heard his uncles and aunts whispering to each other. He deliberately stood far away from them, waiting for them to finish talking before he pushed open the door and went in.
Seeing Jiang Chen walk in, Lin Fengmao hesitated. He did not know how to talk to her.
Coincidentally, Guo Caiyun stood up and said with a smile, "Then the two of you go ahead and chat. I'll go grab a chicken for you guys to order tonight."
Jiang Chen hurriedly said, "Auntie, there's no need to trouble yourself. It's fine as long as you just casually do something."
Lin Fengmao waved his hand and said, "It's fine, just let your aunt do it."
After Guo Caiyun left, Lin Fengmao turned and said, "Wenwen, your grandma and grandpa went to the neighboring village to visit your aunt. They're not at home, so if they're at home, they'll be very happy to see you."
Jiang Chen never expected that other than his uncle, he would also have a younger aunt. "Uncle, what's wrong with my aunt?"
Speaking of this matter, Lin Fengmao finally burst out in laughter, "Your aunt was nothing, she just gave birth to a fat boy who weighed eight kilograms. Your aunt has finally made it out of it."
From Lin Fengmao's words, he learned that Jiang Kevin's aunt, Lin Lan, had married into a neighboring village. She had always been on good terms with her husband, but she did not get along with her mother-in-law and sister-in-law. In the end, it was because she had been married for ten years without a child.
This time, he finally gave birth to a big fat boy. Lin Lan could finally be considered proud of herself in her family. The older brother was naturally happy as well.
After Lin Lan gave birth, the old couple happily went over to help.
When Jiang Kevin heard this good news, he was also overjoyed. "This is really good news. When the full moon is over, I'll definitely go over and take a look. I'll get a touch of happiness from it."
Lin Fengmao, who was about to pick up his tea cup to drink, was stunned when he heard Jiang Kevin's words. "Full moon?" He remembered that Wen Wen should be in his third year of high school, where did he get so much time to go back and forth? Could it be …
Jiang Kevin's next words confirmed his guess, "Uncle, this accident hurt me too much. I have already taken a break from school and I do not plan on going to school for a short period of time. The Lin Family Village's environment is suitable for cultivation, so I wish to stay here. "
Clang!
The sound of a knife falling on the ground came from outside.
Lin Fengmao's teacup fell to the ground at the same time.
Jiang Kevin knew that both of them were thinking of this, so he continued, "If our village has suitable houses to sell, please let Uncle introduce them to me. If there is no house, there is a foundation. "
Lin Fengmao did not expect that Jiang Chen did not plan to live with them from the beginning, so he felt upset about it. Previously, they were shocked because the two of them were too unfamiliar with each other. For a stranger to say that they lived together with you two, no one could stand it, even if this person was related to them by blood.
But when Jiang Kevin came up to them and told them that he would not stay with them, it was a completely different feeling.
Wen Wen, you're only eighteen years old and still a child. You live alone, so how can we not worry?
However, Jiang Kevin truly did not want to stay with them. "Auntie, come in and have a chat with us as well."
Guo Caiyun came in after a while, wiping her hands.
Seeing that everyone was present, Jiang Chen stood up and bowed deeply as he apologized, "Uncle, Aunt, I know what my mother did before was very wrong. I've made all of you sad."
The couple hurried over to help her up. They couldn't help but cry out, but they felt much better.
After Jiang Chen sat down, he said seriously, "Our living environments are different. I've been pampered since I was young. I can stay with you for a while, but I'm afraid I can't control my temper after living for so long. If you don't bother me then I'm afraid I can't even be your relative."
Jiang Kevin was not afraid of trouble, but he was also tired of it. In order to make the following days less troublesome, he had to make it clear beforehand.
Lin Fengmao, who originally wanted to say that he was fine, did not say anything after hearing Jiang Chen's words.
Guo Caiyun looked at Lin Fengmao and asked, "But if you live alone, we are afraid that it won't be safe." Although there were very few acts of theft in this village, that was because everyone was poor and had a large population. If someone knew that Jiang Kevin was living alone, they might have a bad idea.
Jiang Kevin laughed and said, "It's fine. I've practiced martial arts since I was young, so I can handle two or three burly men."
Upon hearing this, Lin Fengmao's interest was piqued.
"You know martial arts? Let's try it! "
Two minutes later, Lin Fengmao got up from the ground, his eyes shining, "Good boy, very good, very good. I agree with you on this matter. With your skills, even if a thief were to enter, he would not be able to escape. "
Guo Caiyun came over and patted his body, and upon hearing his words, she couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, "It's all nonsense, why don't you just wait and see. Alright, the two of you hurry up and go sit inside, I'll go cook. "
She was much gentler when she spoke to Jiang Kevin. "Wenwen, aunty will cook the good Chestnut Chicken for you tonight. I promise you will eat until you are full of oil."
Earlier, she was somewhat dissatisfied with Jiang Kevin's desire to stay, but now that he had made it clear that he would not stay at home in the future, she could not help but feel embarrassed for having treated him like a lowly man and treat him with even more gentleness.
After dinner, Lin Jianmu came over to talk to her for a while. Seeing that she was doing fine, he left without worry.
That night, Jiang Chen contacted his grandparents on the phone. The two old men were extremely astonished. They never thought that their granddaughter would actually return to the countryside to visit them. In addition to being pleasantly surprised, they were also slightly terrified.
The two elders had originally wanted to return tomorrow, but were stopped by Jiang Chen. The first reason was because he was afraid that the old man would be jolted back and forth. The second reason was because he wanted to move out before the old man returned.
That night, Kevin Jiang slept in his grandmother's room. The mattress and blanket were new and uncovered.
The reason why he had stayed up all night was not because he could not sleep in another place, but because the moment he closed his eyes, a huge amount of information would appear in his mind.
That night, Jiang Kevin had used all of his efforts to sort out the information and thus understood what was going on.
It turned out that the ring was the inheritance of an ancient sect. As time flowed on, the sect had been obliterated. The ring had also fallen out and coincidentally fell into Jiang Kevin's hands after a few coincidences.
The reason why it was not passed down before Jiang Chen was was because it had to be activated by inner force before it could be of use.
In the original sect, this inheritance required regular maintenance care in order to be able to play its role." However, this ring had been left outside for hundreds of years. It was already in a half-damaged state, and more than half of its contents had been lost. If Jiang Chen had not obtained it, the ring would have been thoroughly damaged and turned into a normal ring in less than a few years.
Jiang Kevin had only received a small portion of the original inheritance. Half of them were messy and worthless. The remaining information was all about formations.
Thanks to the impact of this information flow, a portion of Jiang Kevin's brain was developed. Only then could Jiang Kevin bury the trash information in the depths of his brain and compile it into a book, listing it out from the shallow end.
"Formation …"
Jiang Kevin opened his eyes as a look of interest flashed across his face.
