I sell demon meat in the city

Chapter 79 Dream or Meng?

"Old Zhang, she's just a little kid, only a few years old. She's only been practicing for a few days, and she hasn't even memorized all of my Lin family's techniques yet. What does she know?"

Before Xiao Qi could speak, Lin Qingquan gave Zhang Jinwu a disapproving look.

This old rascal has figured something out and is trying to trick Xiao Qi into revealing information.

"I was just asking my niece. If she knows, she knows; if she doesn't, she doesn't. You're so sensitive."

Zhang Jinwu wasn't annoyed at being exposed; he just laughed and asked Xiao Qi, "When are you planning to bring over the 500 jin of snake meat?"

"Tomorrow, I'll have my uncle come over."

"Okay, I'll wait."

Lin Qingquan lowered his head and gently patted his daughter's head, saying softly, "Let's go, get in the car with Mom and go home."

He walked out of the camp with his wife and daughter, but he didn't go back; he just saw them off.

As I approached the car, a boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old rode slowly past on a dilapidated bicycle, creaking and groaning.

It was all in the past. Suddenly, the boy slammed on the brakes, braced himself with his left leg on the ground, and turned to look at the family of three. A hint of excitement appeared on his expressionless face. "Uncle Lin!"

Lin Qingquan paused, turned to look at the boy, and after a careful examination, still looked blankly at him, asking, "Who are you...?"

"My name is Wei Xiaole. Back then, when something happened in Sanshui Village, I escaped because my aunt took me to the city to play. When I came back, my grandparents had passed away. At that time, I saw you helping to kill the demon."

Lin Qingquan understood; the child was a survivor.

Meng Qi glanced at him in surprise. After getting into the car with her mother and leaving, she could still see the boy following Lao Lin back to the camp in the rearview mirror.

Meng Shulan also glanced at it, but neither the mother nor the daughter said anything.

After dinner, Meng Shulan first called Meng Zichen to tell him about the snake meat, and told him to come over as soon as possible after contacting the seller.

Then I called Meng Jiu again, and the phone rang for a long time before the other end finally answered.

Upon hearing Meng Jiu's slightly hoarse "Hey," Meng Shulan immediately flared up, "Meng Jiujiang, are you out of your mind? Don't you know the state of your lungs? Still smoking, still smoking?"

Meng Jiujiang is Meng Jiu's real name. Even though Meng Shulan isn't with her father, she knows him very well. His voice gets a little hoarse whenever he smokes, and she can tell right away.

"I didn't smoke, I didn't smoke."

"You've even learned to lie now, haven't you?"

"."

Meng Jiu felt guilty and dared not utter a word.

Meng Shulan said resentfully, "Next time I go out, I'll buy you groceries first and won't leave you a single penny."

Meng Jiu remained silent.

Anyway, admitting fault is out of the question, and quitting smoking is out of the question, so let her vent her anger if she wants; he'll just go along with it.

What can you do to your own daughter?

After a while, Meng Shulan, whose temper had subsided a bit, remembered the important matter and asked in an annoyed tone, "Dad, did any of our Meng family ancestors cultivate? I mean, not ordinary people, but the kind who had bloodline inheritance and special abilities."

Meng Jiu was taken aback and asked in surprise, "Why did you suddenly ask that?"

After saying that, he thought of Xiao Qi and added, "Xiao Qi can't be counted. Qingquan is no ordinary person. She must have followed the Lin family."

"Leaving aside Xiao Qi, let's talk about whether our Meng family has any?"

To be honest, Meng Jiu really didn't know. "Your grandparents passed away when I was old enough to remember things, and I've never heard your aunt and uncle mention that you've discovered something?"

Although Meng Shulan is already thirty-one years old, her daughter's personality and way of doing things have changed a lot in the past few years. She has also learned powerful martial arts from Xiao Qi's master.

So, did she discover that she has some kind of bloodline inheritance? "Yes, my body has undergone some changes. Qingge said it's a hidden wood attribute inheritance. Dad, why don't you ask my uncle if he knows that our Meng family used to have such an inheritance?"

Wood attribute inheritance?
Meng Jiu narrowed his eyes slightly. To be honest, he did feel that these words were somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember when or where he had seen or heard them.

After hanging up her daughter's call, Meng Jiu frowned and thought for a while before getting up and walking out, with Da Huang following closely behind her.

"Xiaojiu?"

After finishing his meal, Meng Laoda was sitting in the main room with his wife watching TV when he saw Meng Jiu enter without a word, and then turn and go to the storage room in the west wing.

He didn't pay any attention and turned his head to continue watching TV with his wife.

After searching for about an hour and a half, Meng Jiu finally found a yellowed and suspicious family genealogy book in a sturdy pear wood box that had been stored for many years.

He opened the genealogy book, and between the first page and the cover was a half-sheet of paper that looked even older, yellow and thinner than the genealogy book itself. Yes, half a sheet, and the marks on the edges showed that it had been torn.

The first three characters on this half of the paper are: Wood Attribute!
Meng Jiu frowned. Did their Meng family really have a bloodline inheritance?

He picked up the half-page to take a closer look at the small print underneath, but suddenly froze.

Meng Jiu's gaze moved down and landed on the character "Meng" on the first page of the family genealogy!
孟？
He quickly flipped through the pages and saw that they were all unfamiliar names with the surname Meng, written in traditional Chinese characters with a brush.

It's really strange, why would the Meng family's genealogy be in their house?

Shouldn't his family's genealogy be a dream?
It was definitely a dream. That family tree was much newer than this one; it was in his elder brother and sister-in-law's bedroom, and he had seen it before.

So what's the story behind this seemingly old "Meng" family genealogy?

Meng Jiu couldn't understand it.

He took the family genealogy book, got up, and went back to the living room of his elder brother's house. He first bent down and found the hearing aid from the drawer of the coffee table with practiced ease, and then raised his hand to help his elder brother put it on.

"What are you doing? I don't like wearing this thing."

"You love and respect me."

"."

Boss Meng glared at him and asked fiercely, "What? Spit it out!"

It's always like this. Every time I want to talk to him, I have to make him wear this lousy thing. It's uncomfortable.

Seeing that her older brother had put on his hearing aid, Meng Jiu sat down next to him, opened the family genealogy in her hand, pointed to the character "Meng" on it, and asked, "Whose family is this genealogy?"

Meng Laoda glanced down and couldn't help but hiss, "How did you find this?"

Meng Jiu glanced at her older brother's expression and realized he knew something, so she raised her chin and said, "Explain yourself, whose family is it?"

"You're so arrogant! A family tree isn't some other thing; of course, it belongs to whoever's family it is."

Meng Jiu's pupils contracted, realizing she had guessed correctly. Their old Meng family was actually the old Meng family!

He vaguely understood something.

"Brother, did we change our surname to avoid our enemies?"

"What enemy?" The eldest brother said with a disdainful look, "There's nothing wrong with talking about it. When our grandfather was still alive, he didn't want us to mention it, mainly because he didn't want to admit that he was a member of the Meng family. He thought it was shameful and disgusting. After our grandfather passed away, our father told me that since our branch had separated from the Meng family, we had nothing to do with them anymore, so there was no need for you to know. Therefore, only the second brother and I knew about this. If you hadn't brought out the family tree today, I would have almost forgotten about it."

Hearing that the surname wasn't changed to avoid enemies, Meng Jiu was relieved.

After all, Xiao Qi is still young, and he doesn't want his precious granddaughter to be targeted as soon as she shows some real skills.

Don't assume she's amazing. There are always people more capable than you, and there are plenty of talented people out there. You can't be too arrogant.

Good afternoon!
