Chapter 221 Life is a Play (17)

“What started?”

The mayor didn’t know what Wen Chan meant, and when she was about to speak again, he immediately interrupted her.

“After he dies, you accidentally find a way to make him live with you forever. Will you do it or not?”

Only by constantly raising questions will the other party be led by you.

The mayor is not very good at fighting. He just fought with Zhong Lian for a long time and is in a very embarrassing situation now.

I’m old now and really don’t want to bother with this anymore.

Especially these precious things of his, which are of no use to these two people, so he might as well think of a way to delay time.

“I won’t die.” Zhong Lian was now lying on her side on the tool table.

He supported his head with one hand and leaned on one leg, watching the fun from behind as if it had nothing to do with him.

The mayor was too lazy to pay attention to him and stared at Wen Chan, waiting for her answer.

Wen Chan carried the copper coin sword on his shoulder and looked down at the mayor, “Didn’t you hear what he said? He won’t die.”

Mayor: “…”

Where does this confidence come from? Is it because Zhong Lian is not a normal person?

He tilted his head and asked Zhong Lian the same question again, “What if Wen Chan died? Now there is a way to make her live by your side forever. Will you do it?”

Zhong Lian said without hesitation: “Do it, why not?”

The mayor secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then shouted angrily: “Then what right do you have to stop me? The incident didn’t happen to you, but you opened and closed your mouths, letting you say anything!”

Wen Chan asked doubtfully: “What did we say?”

Mayor: “…” Oh, it seems like they really didn’t say anything.

He asked them all the questions and they answered them…

“You just asked him to bite me to death. Isn’t it because you think that what I did was against the will of Heaven and you want to enforce justice?”

The mayor said: “We are the same kind. We can do anything for the one we love, but now you are trying to stop me…”

“Excuse me.” Wen Chan raised her hand and made a stop gesture. “First of all, we are indeed curious about what you are going to do, but we wanted to kill you just now because you said you wanted to lock us up and use us as your petri dishes.”

“This is a threat to our own lives, and we can’t take action?”

Mayor: “…then you…”

“………”

He did ask a lot of questions, and the other party was led by him, answering them one by one.

But these answers were completely different from what he expected!
He didn’t know what to say now.

He hesitated for a long time before throwing out a few more questions.

“Then what have you been doing here for so long? Just to see what I was going to do? Do you see it now?”

The mayor dusted off his hands and stood up.

The sandalwood was still burning in the stove next to it, and there was a strange fragrance mixed in with the sandalwood that made people dizzy.

The mayor continued, “My wife died seventy years ago…”

He was interrupted by Zhong Lian in the middle of his words, “You are lying! You obviously married your ugly wife only ten years ago, and you married that one. Are you seventy years old? What do you mean she died seventy years ago?”

“…”

Wen Chan couldn’t help but look back at Zhong Lian again.

Zhong Lian seemed unable to sit still and changed her posture again.

The only thing that didn’t change was the slightly childish smile on his face.

“Zhonglian.” Wen Chan called out.

“Hey!” He agreed quickly, the smile on his face widened a little, and he also called her name, “Chan Chan.”

Wen Chan was stunned for a moment, then smiled at him, “Well done.”

Praise him for knowing all these details and exposing the mayor’s lies.

“Hehe.” Zhong Lian tilted her head and smiled.

Unspeakably pure.

A secret sense of guilt arose deep in Wen Chan’s heart.

She had a bad feeling.

It feels like his childish appearance is his true form in this copy.

This adult appearance was created just to satisfy her.

This is a terrible idea.

But what does Zhong Lian mean by this?
The mayor really has an ugly wife?

“Who are you?” The mayor suddenly yelled at Zhong Lian.

Attitude says it all.

What Zhong Lian said is true.

Zhong Lian blinked and said, “Don’t you know? It’s just a wandering corpse.”

“What exactly is a wandering corpse?” Wen Chan asked.

“That’s the one!”

Zhong Lian jumped down from the tool table, ran to Wen Chan, hugged her and explained in a low voice: “It’s just the corpses wandering around…”

Wen Chan: “…” Oh, so it just means what it says?

Zhong Lian leaned close to her ear and added, “But I’m not a corpse, Chan Chan knows that.”

He himself didn’t know what he was, but he was definitely not a corpse.

As Wen Chan said, he should be a monster.

Fortunately, Chanchan is not afraid of him.

“You are definitely not a simple zombie!” The mayor was a little panicked at this moment, “What do you know?”

“I don’t know anything.” Zhong Lian took two steps back while holding Wen Chan, putting some distance between herself and the mayor. “You’re so fierce.”

Wen Chan glanced at him.

He may really not have known anything before, but from now on, he felt something was wrong.

It seemed… he had some more memories, or to be more direct, he had awakened to his identity in this copy.

The only thing Wen Chan could be sure of was that the person holding her was still Zhong Lian.

“Stop pretending, and speak!” Wen Chan nudged him with her elbow, “Tell me your story, and let me, the judge, decide whose fault it is.”

“Oh, Chanchan is like this…” Zhong Lian opened her mouth to speak.

The mayor on the side shouted, “Shut up!”

He picked up the nearest object and threw it at the two men.

Zhong Lian picked up Wen Chan, spun around, and moved to the side.

“I’ve heard he’s so fierce.”

He didn’t care about the mayor’s feelings and quickly said to Wen Chan: “One did die seventy years ago, but the mayor was not born at that time.”

“The mansion where the mayor lived was a wealthy family in that era, and wealthy families would always believe in ghosts and gods.”

“When I first moved in, I had some weird dreams at night, just like you guys, and I still felt them when I woke up the next day.”

“He didn’t take it seriously at first. Dreams are something everyone has to some extent.”

“But later he met a rich girl in his dream, the beautiful Aunt Liu that Chanchan saw.” “After that, the two of them kept meeting in his dreams. The hazy sense of reality made him unable to distinguish between reality and dreams.”

“Later, he found a book in the Buddhist temple, which said that by using human oil and ashes to make bone incense, one can turn the people around him into the ones he has been thinking about, and baby oil is the purest.”

“The premise here is that it has to be someone close to him. In order to let Aunt Liu accompany him day and night, he found a random woman to marry a year ago despite everyone’s objections.”

“It’s the ugly and fierce one I saw when I didn’t have the bone-sucking incense.”

At this point, Zhong Lian pursed her lips and whispered, “I remember that she was a good person before. She must have known that she was deceived after she married here, so her personality changed.”

After muttering, he said loudly, “Anyway, he later used the legend of Wawa Mountain to trick people into going up the mountain to abandon their children, and then secretly made bone incense here.”

“He really made it! With more bone incense, Aunt Liu has become that Aunt Liu.”

Wen Chan crossed her arms and squinted at the mayor, then suddenly turned to look at Zhong Lian again, “You said he was using the legend of Wawa Mountain? Didn’t this legend start with him?”

Zhong Lian rubbed her cheek, “Of course not, how old was he when the fire broke out?”

“But he has been doing it in recent years.”

“In order to convince people and make greedy people jump into the trap, he was willing to sell all his property to collect some gold, silver and jewelry to make this legend a reality.”

Only when it is proven will people who want money come in droves.

Wen Chan finally remembered what was wrong!

She said that the day she arrived at the mayor’s house, she felt something was wrong.

It’s empty!

In this luxurious mansion, every yard is empty and lacks something.

It turned out that there was nothing left at home after selling off all the property.

“So the Child God is real.” Wen Chan summed it up.

There must be this legend before people will imitate it.

Zhong Lian was stunned for a moment, then avoided his gaze, “Not really… that… the first couple who got rich overnight had wealthy ancestors, so it’s normal for them to dig up some property in their own yard.”

Wen Chan raised her eyebrows, “What about the back?”

Zhong Lian said: “Although the cheating woman’s behavior was immoral, she would not die, so she used her child to exchange for some money so that she would not die without the man. Unexpectedly, the result was…”

Wen Chan casually sighed, “You are quite kind.”

Zhong Lian smiled shyly, “Hehe…”

He suddenly stopped laughing in the middle of it and turned stiffly to look at Wen Chan.

Wen Chan crossed her arms over her chest and looked at him with a half-smile.

Zhong Lian: “…”

exposed!
The mayor, whose true identity was exposed, was still in a state of collapse. Suddenly, he seemed to have heard something and glared at Zhong Lian with red eyes, “Are you the child god?”

Zhong Lian denied it: “I’m not. If I had money I would save it myself.”

It’s impossible for him to give his money to others. He has to save all his money for Chanchan!

Give it all to her then!
This legend has been passed down for so many years, and he has only given it once, and it was not much.

The wealth of those people behind him has nothing to do with him.

Later, the mayor gave the money.

He himself found it baffling.

“So you…” Wen Chan gently held Zhong Lian’s hand, “You were also thrown into the mountains when you were young?”

“Woo woo… cicada cicada…” Zhong Lian’s eyes were suddenly filled with tears.

“Everyone else asks me if I’m a child god, but you’re the only one who cares if I’m abandoned. Woo woo…”

Wen Chan: “…”

No, she wanted to ask too.

But he had just denied it, so she changed her story.

Now seeing Zhong Lian crying like this, Wen Chan was too embarrassed to tell the truth.

She reached out and held him in her arms, patting his back to comfort him, “Baby, we are true love. Of course, I am the only one who cares about you.”

“Chanchan, you’re so nice.” Zhong Lian wiped his tears on her shoulder.

Mayor: “…”

True love usually wouldn’t be expressed this way.

With Wen Chan’s attitude, Zhong Lian felt much more at ease.

He took the initiative to tell his own situation, “I was indeed abandoned, but I don’t know why I survived. I lived alone in the mountains for a long time. Later, I saw a child who was abandoned like me. I didn’t quite understand… But when I think about it carefully, it’s not difficult to understand.”

“In those days, it was a problem to feed oneself, let alone raise a child. If I didn’t pick them up, they would be picked up and eaten by others.”

“Later, when I found some living children, I would try my best to keep them alive using my methods. If they couldn’t survive, I had no other options…”

Wen Chan: “Your method is…”

Zhong Lian said innocently, “Eat dirt!”

Wen Chan: “…It would be strange if he could survive!”

Zhong Lian pondered, “So there were a lot of deaths later, so I took them out to make a living. Later, the legend of Wawa Mountain was created by the mayor.”

Wen Chan: “…” So those people in his troupe should all be the children he picked up?
They are also some of the luckiest ones, having survived by eating dirt as children.

Wen Chan was silent for a while, then patted Zhong Lian’s back and said, “I didn’t expect the baby to be so hard-working. I feel so bad for him.”

Wen Chan didn’t care whether the other people in the troupe were alive or not, but she was sure that Zhong Lian must have died after being abandoned.

It’s just that his case was special, he “came back to life” after dying.

Despite this, he still had a kind heart and wanted to save other children.

Now, those people in the troupe seemed to be well taken care of by him and had acquired a skill, so that they could earn a living on their own even if they left him in the future.

Thinking of this, Wen Chan did feel a little distressed, but after saying it out loud, it always felt like she wasn’t being sincere.

“Chan Chan~” Zhong Lian didn’t care whether Wen Chan was being sincere or not. He felt happy to hear such words from her.

“Then kiss me.” He rubbed Wen Chan’s neck and put his face close to Wen Chan’s mouth.

Wen Chan lowered her head and kissed him on the lips.

Zhong Lian hugged her and smiled shyly.

Mayor: “…”

Zhong Lian was shy for two seconds, then she squinted at the mayor and said sarcastically, “You talk about your beloved every day. Can you and Aunt Liu be like me and Chanchan?”

Mayor: “…”

Who would have imagined that you are so shameless!
But I really want to live a shameless life like them.

Zhong Lian continued, “Oh…it seems you changed your last name for her, but the one who benefited from it is you.”

“Oh?” Wen Chan had a gossipy expression on her face.

“Chan Chan, did he ask you to call him Mayor Liu?” Zhong Lian asked.

“That’s true.” She had always thought that she was called Aunt Liu because of Mayor Liu. Isn’t that right?

“Aunt Liu is because her surname is Liu. The mayor used the surname Liu so that he could live in the Liu family mansion openly and pretend to be a member of the Liu family.”

“Shut up!” the mayor said angrily, “My relationship with my lover is like this. What’s hers is mine and what’s mine is hers. What do you mean by freeloading? Why can’t I live here?”

Wen Chan: “If I have to say it, we usually call your situation a live-in son-in-law.”

“If you don’t force me to say it, the one you married wasn’t Aunt Liu. Aunt Liu was just a fantasy you created after taking drugs… no, after taking incense. You’re just occupying the magpie’s nest.”
