It's Obviously a Life Skill, But You Developed It Into a Magical Skill Chapter 84

Chapter 84 The identity of the person behind the scenes

Zhou An tried to move around and found that there was no problem at all.

 Everything around you is lifelike.

This scene aroused Zhou An's curiosity.

 The current state is like watching an immersive movie.

 Zhou An put his hand on the tree beside him and passed through it easily.

 He remembered what Ye Shuang had said to him just now.

 In the memory of this people, he is just a spectator, and nothing can be changed.

Thinking of this, Zhou An gave up his curiosity to explore.

 He focused his gaze on the child in front of him.

The child does not look very big, but he is holding a book in his hand and reading it seriously.

Beside the child, there are several adults enjoying the shade.

 Zhou An heard the adults talking.

 “Well, the little puppy holds a book and reads it every day, and sooner or later he will become a nerd.”

 “Keep your voice down, this is something his father left for him.”

“But his parents are dead, so we can't see him becoming a nerd.”

"There is no way, his father is a nerd, and he relies on his mother to support him. Now his mother has become ill from overwork, and his father has died of depression. We can only do our best."

"Yes, his mother is quite good. Children who grow up eating hundreds of meals will grow strong in the future."

The words of these adults reached Zhou An's ears one after another.

Zhou An quickly sorted out the important clues.

 First, this child's parents died young, and his father was still a scholar.

 Second, the child's survival is entirely due to the fact that he eats the food of all the families in the village.

 Thirdly, this child is the name that was crossed out on the household registration, Li Gouwa.

 At this time, people in the village were very simple, so it was normal for this to happen.

Zhou An continued to read.

The child was reading the book seriously and muttering to himself. His serious look made people feel distressed.

  Time gradually passed, and it was afternoon in a blink of an eye.

 Throughout the afternoon, the child did not move, and kept staring at the book.

 Until a man waved a cattail leaf fan and called the child away.

 “Gouwa, it's time to go home for dinner. Let's go. Stop looking.”

 The appearance of this man is somewhat similar to that of the man selected by Zhou An, probably when he was young.

Li Gouwa put down the book, said softly, took the man's hand, and walked towards a room.

 Zhou An followed behind.

 Soon, he came to a room.

 The house is very simple and very poor.

 A man and a woman were busy.

 In a short time, a few simple dishes were ready.

 Besides them, there was a little girl sitting at the table.

 The food can only be described as average.

 Li Gouwa and the little girl ate very well.

“Gou boy, let's learn farm work tomorrow.” The man said while eating.

Li Gouwa fell into silence.

The man continued: "Although you are not old, you can learn a little. When you are older, you can help share the burden. Don't always hold this book, because food cannot grow in the book."

Li Gouwa raised his head and said crisply: "Uncle, I want to get a good name when I grow up."

As soon as these words came out, the room fell into silence.

 After a while, the woman next to him shook her head.

“Your dad has failed the test so many times. Don't think about it. We can't play with that stuff.”

Li Gouwa fell into silence.

The little girl next to him interjected: "Mom and dad, let Brother Gouwa take the exam. Brother Gouwa is different from us, he can read!"

 “Alas…” the woman sighed.

 “You little dog, you have to grow up and understand clearly…”

 She wanted to persuade her, but Li Gouwa shook her head.

 “I want to take the exam.”

 Speak firmly.

 The two adults looked at each other, and in the end no one said anything.

 In front of Zhou An's eyes, the scenery began to gradually change. In the blink of an eye, he was no longer in the room and appeared at the entrance of the village again.

At this time, a man appeared in front of him, wearing common clothes and carrying a baggage behind him.

 The man's back was turned to Zhou An.

 A woman is sorting out a man's clothes.

 “Brother Gouwa, remember to come back after the exam, don't be too late.”

Beside the woman, there was a man and a woman standing, both of whom were already middle-aged.

The man carrying the cloth bag nodded and left the village directly.

 The woman looked at the man's back and said to herself...

“Brother Gouwa, you must pass the exam. If you pass the exam, you will come and marry me.”

The middle-aged woman stepped forward, put her arms around the young woman's shoulders, and advised: "He has already passed the exam twice. Don't wait any longer and get married as soon as possible."

"You are really stupid. You do farm work every day. Why bother buying books for him?"

 The young woman heard this and shook her head.

 “Brother Gou Wa has this talent, and I don't want him to be sad.”

 The scenery in front of Zhou An changed again.

This time, it is no longer a sunny spring, but an autumn day with a rustling autumn wind.

Something strange happened in Qingliu Village.

 The villagers were gathered in the open space in the middle.

 A man is standing in front, ringing a bell in his hand.

“From now on, Li Gouwa disappeared when he was a child, and you have never seen him since then.”

The man was shaking as he spoke, and the sound of the bell was spread throughout Qingliu Village.

 Among the villagers, women's eyes became increasingly confused.

 Until the end, all the villagers fell into sleep.

 The man put away the bell and sighed.

 He turned around slowly.

 At this time, Zhou An finally saw the man's face clearly.

 When he saw this face, his whole body was stunned, as if he had been struck by lightning.

 If you add a beard to this face and make this face a little older, then he looks like a person.

 —Magistrate Chen!

At this moment, Zhou An seemed to have thought of something and connected everything together.

 The man behind the scenes is County Magistrate Chen!

 “This way, everything makes sense.”

"Why was I transferred to Chunxiao Tower that night? He lured me away on purpose."

“Also, why the troupe found Anding County is also related to him.”

 Zhou An was like a patient who had suffered from rhinitis for many years. Suddenly his nose became clear and he felt a sense of relief.

 But it was not enough, he planned to continue reading.

After Magistrate Chen finished all this, he came to the young woman and touched her face.

 “Xiaohua, I'm sorry for you.”

 He muttered to himself.

 At this moment, several figures flashed past.

 Three women appeared behind County Magistrate Chen.

 These three women each have their own expressions.

Two of them Zhou An knew, namely the Fire Prayer Master and the Insect Master.

Zhou An guessed that the other woman should be the first wife.

The first wife had a trace of pity on her face, while the other two had a look of indifference.

The fire praying master sneered: "You are already the county magistrate, and you still focus on a peasant woman?"

Magistrate Chen turned around and remained silent.

Chongshi said: "If the eldest lady hadn't wanted to hide, these people should have been killed."

The first wife, who was called the eldest lady, gritted her teeth: "My husband has fulfilled his wish, so don't commit any more sins of killing. It will harm the peace of heaven and earth." The words of the other two women did not make County Magistrate Chen speak. Only the eldest lady's words After leaving, Magistrate Chen spoke.

 “Not enough, far from enough!” County Magistrate Chen said in a gloomy tone.

The eldest lady hesitated and said: "Husband, you must not indulge in this anymore."

 “You don't understand!” County Magistrate Chen's tone became more and more gloomy.

 “This world is unfair!”

 “If I don't continue, how will I move up?”

"You have also seen in this imperial examination that my talents are far better than others, but I have not crossed the threshold of a scholar, so I was transferred to this remote county."

 “That fool went to a prosperous place instead!”

Magistrate Chen took a step forward with a sinister look on his face.

“I have a lot of ambitions, but no platform to display them. Only by constantly improving my strength will I be recognized by the emperor and be able to display my ambitions!”

The eldest lady didn't say a word. She obviously knew that speaking at this time would cause even greater conflicts.

 Zhou An couldn't help but clap his hands when he saw this scene.

 “Good guy, I have a purpose now.”

It turns out that after becoming an official, County Magistrate Chen was just an ordinary person.

Moreover, since the imperial examination, he had never competed with those real scholars, so he felt resentful and learned the water burial method to simulate the abilities of scholars.

 Zhou An understood everything.

Before my eyes, the scenery changed again.

 This time, everything is restored.

 Zhou An opened his eyes and found that he had arrived at the cell.

Beside him, the talisman paper in Ye Shuang's hand was burned out.

Zhou An noticed that both Zhang Sixian and Xie Captou were staring at the sky. Looking subconsciously, they saw that the last scene was dissipating.

 “So you are still watching the scene.”

 Zhou An was speechless.

 Fortunately, he didn't do anything inappropriate.

 As Zhou An regained consciousness, Zhang Si County and Xie Baotou also returned to normal.

“Now, everything is revealed.” Zhou And said.

 Zhang Si County was silent for a while, then turned around and prepared to leave.

 “What are you going to do?” Zhou An asked.

Magistrate Zhang took a deep breath: "Being able to practice the water burial method to such an extent means that you have a lot of lives in your hands, not to mention that more than 20 children died in Qingliu Village."

"This is a blood debt. I don't want to wait any longer. I have to let him die without a burial place."

 Zhou An winked at Xie Baotou: "Stop Mr. Zhang."

Xie Captou didn't know what happened, but something happened to stop him in the middle.

 Zhang Si County frowned.

 He couldn't understand what Zhou An meant.

At this time, Zhou An said: "Then, you go over and have a fight with him in the downtown area. If he can beat you, it's okay. If he can't beat you, he will kill at will in the city. Can you stop him?"

 Zhang Si County fell into deep thought.

It is true that as Zhou An said, a person who does not take human life seriously will threaten the lives of others.

Most of the people who can enter the town of Guisi are the rough and tumble people in the rivers and lakes, and have the blood of the people in the rivers and lakes.

Just now, Zhang Sixian was full of energy and blood, and wanted to get rid of this scumbag, so he didn't calm down. Fortunately, he was stopped by Zhou An.

Zhou An said slowly: "If you want to deal with him, the first thing you have to do is lure him away."

 “How to lead?” Zhang Sixian asked.

He also knows that after leading him away, he can let go, but the problem is how to lead him away.

  Magistrate Chen has never left Anding County.

 Especially during this extraordinary period, how can we lead the way?

 “Isn't that just a bait?” Zhou An looked at a cell.

In the cell, there was a woman huddled in the corner, her face full of fear.

When Ye Shuang saw this scene, he said coldly: "It's so dark."

 Zhou An raised the corners of his mouth, and a plan formed in his mind.

 Time gradually passed, and a few days passed in the blink of an eye.

These past few days, Zhou An has been living according to a routine.

 Every day is about liver proficiency, ordering, eating, dispensing, continuing liver, and sleeping.

 As if nothing happened that night.

 Actually, Zhou An had a plan.

But he had to wait a few days. After all, he had just come out from suppressing the rebels, and the plan was implemented, which was obvious.

 Hit snakes, but not grass.

Over the past few days, that is, yesterday, the Zhenguisi released the people in Qingliu Village.

The reason for using it is that no clues were found.

And Zhangsi County apologized step by step, making it known to everyone in Anding County.

 Zhou An heard the news and knew that everything was progressing steadily.

 He waited patiently, like a dormant hunter.

 In recent times, his cooking skills have also made great progress.

 【Pao Ding's knife skills (speed +2, accuracy +2) lv.4: 3158/60000】

Of course, these joys are small, and he is waiting for the final big surprise.

 “The news should have been passed on.”

 Zhou An put down the long knife in his hand, lay on the bed, and closed his eyes.

 Two more days have passed.

  The county government office in Anding County.

 The inner courtyard is where the county magistrate lives.

At this moment, County Magistrate Chen was holding a piece of paper in his hand, trembling slightly.

 There is only one sentence on the paper.

“Brother Gouwa, I seem to have remembered a lot of things. I miss you.”

Magistrate Chen's eyes were evasive.

 Looking at the words above, he thought of a lot.

 Especially thinking of that small village and my childhood.

"It seems that although the people who suppressed the secret did not find out the news, they seemed to have revived her memory a little."

Magistrate Chen burned the paper in his hand to ashes and looked at the rising smoke with a ruthless look in his eyes.

"I'm sorry, I love you very much, but the selection is coming soon. I haven't participated for several years just to prevent others from seeing the water burial method. I must not give up this time."

 He took a deep breath, looked at the night outside the window, and went out.

 Chingliu Village.

 As usual, nothing has changed here.

 But in the dark, Zhou An, Ye Shuang, Xie Baotou, Zhang Sixian and others were quietly waiting.

"Zhou An, I never thought he was a lover, otherwise I wouldn't have married so many people. He won't come tonight, right?" Zhang Sixian looked up at the moon in the dark clouds and asked.

 They have been waiting here for a long time, there are only four of them.

 Others did not go out because they did not want Magistrate Chen to notice anything unusual.

With too many people, it is easy to cause loopholes.

 After waiting for so long, there was still no one, so Zhangsi County had this question.

Zhou An said strangely: "Who said he is a lover? If he were a lover, he would not attack his first wife."

"Then you still..." Zhang Sixian said strangely.

“His identity is about to be exposed. He has tried so hard to hide his history, but now history can no longer hide it.”

Zhou An explained.

"Think about it, if it were you, would you take action? Besides, does he still have the manpower now?"

“To take a step back, if someone else comes in, it's just a replica of Zhang Xiuxiu, and we can hook the bait again.”

 Zhang Si County thought about it and found that it seemed right.

 He said no more and waited patiently.

 At this moment, a figure appeared at the entrance of the village.
