Chapter 1143: Strange Old Man (4)

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

How was this possible?

Wasn’t this old man a little too strong?!

In his recollection, even Jian Yiling’s cousin Jian Yiheng wasn’t this strong.

A shocked expression appeared on Yu Xi’s face.

Why was there a martial arts expert in such a remote mountain village?!

‘As the bodyguards could not stop the old man, the old man walked over to Zhai Yunsheng to check his pulse.

Zhai Yunsheng did not fight back.
Instead, he just sat there quietly.

After the old man checked Zhai Yunsheng’s pulse, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhai Yunsheng in surprise.

“Why do you have such a strange pulse?”

Someone who was capable of understanding Zhai Yunsheng’s condition just by checking his pulse definitely knew his stuff.

‘A frown appeared on the old’s man face as he pondered about this.

This was the first time in his life he encountered such a strange pulse.

Although Zhai Yunsheng’s pulse was considered healthy, it was not considered the same as an ordinary person’s.

After a long pause, the old man asked: “Do you guys live around here.
Tell me your address.
I will go to look for you as you guys shouldn’t stay here any longer.”

Yu Xi whispered to Jian Yiling: “God Ling, you should be wary of people.
This old man is strange…”

Jian Yiling also recognized that this old man was a little strange.

However, the old man had just shown off his amazing martial art abilities.
If he really wanted to do something to them, no one could stop him.
And thus, there was no need for him to take the extra step.

Jian Yiling already formulated a plan to help Zhai Yunsheng get better.
However, the plan wasn’t set in place yet.
If there was another alternative, she was willing to try as well.
More options meant that there was more hope for A Sheng.

“We live in Jinshui Village in the home of a girl named Jin Jin,” Jian Yiling replied.

“Jin Jin? I know that girl.
Alright, you guys head back for now.
I will go to look for you later on.”

Initially, the old man was only interested in learning how to plant medicinal herbs.
However, he was now curious about Zhai Yunsheng’s physical condition.

After he finished speaking, the old man began to shoo them away again.
It appeared as though he really did not want them anywhere near here.

He was indeed a strange old man.

Why did he want all of them away from there? It wasn’t like this place had some hidden treasure or something.

After returning to Jin Jin’s house, Jian Yiling asked Jin Jin some things about the man.

“Have you not seen him before?” Jin Jin replied.

“Me? Why do you ask that?”

“Well, you rolled down from that mountain.
I found you next to the waterfall.
That’s why I assumed you’ve been there before and seen that old man before.”

She was found there?

The side of the waterfall was indeed a steep slope covered by thorny vines.

Just now, Jian Yiling had seen that.
However, she didn’t expect that her injuries were caused by that slope and those vines.

“Nope,” Jian Yiling replied as she shook her head.

“Well, we call that man Grandpa Sun.
No one knows his name.
He’s always lived in the Jinshui Village.
In the past, he lived in that hut with his grandpa.
After his grandpa passed away, he stayed there for a few more years.
Then, he left the hut for some time.
Roughly ten years later, he came back again.

Ever since then, he’s never left again.”

Jin Jin only knew so much about Grandpa Sun.
She rarely interacted with this strange old man.
And thus, she mostly knew stories about him that the other villagers spoke of..
