C1460 Ancestor's Upper Body(last Part)

"Sigh!" Just as Lin Bai's ghastly voice rang out, the old Patriarch couldn't help but shiver and subconsciously agree.

But once he said it, the old patriarch felt that something wasn't right. The word 'root' was his name, because when his parents gave birth to him back then, he was already old. He thought that he was old and had roots, so he gave it this name.

However, other than his parents, there were very few people who mentioned this name. Currently, both his parents were buried underground, and not a single person in the village knew of this matter. If not for Lin Bai's words, even he would have forgotten that he had such a nickname. However, what he did not understand was how Lin Bai knew this name. Could it be that his ancestor had come?

"What? Don't you remember your mother and father?" While the old Patriarch was still in shock, Lin Bai squeezed out a smile that was even uglier than a cry. His tone was filled with extreme dissatisfaction as he coldly spoke.

"Mother?" He suddenly remembered his parents who were at the bottom of the Nine Springs. Although he was extremely fearful of the current situation, deep in his heart, he was still a little hesitant as he asked slowly, "Is it really you guys? I put the money away a few days ago, but I can't find it now. Ancestor, do you know where I dropped the money? "

As his voice faded, a trace of craftiness appeared in the old chief's eyes, while a hint of understanding also appeared in the eyes of the surrounding mountain villagers.

People who graze on the ground for their entire lives valued money extremely highly. How could they have made money disappear without a trace for no reason at all? In addition, the old chief was famous for being very meticulous. He was only using these words to gather information about Lin Bai's background and to confirm if it was true or not.

Just like these villagers were thinking, although the old chief did not understand what was going on, he still had a sliver of doubt in his heart. For no reason, this old man had to worship a little brat like him as if he was the ancestor's elder, and even if he had some face, he would still think of such a method to test the authenticity of Ancestor Lin Bai's upper body.

All he had saved in his life was a small amount of money, and he intended to keep it as a coffin. Previously, when his wife was in critical condition and needed money to treat her injuries, he was reluctant to take out this money to use. Not only that, he had to hide the money in another place every three days. Even his two sons did not know where the money was hidden!

In his mind, he could hide these things, but not from the gods and ghosts. If this brat was truly possessed by an ancestor, then there was no way that he wouldn't know the whereabouts of that money! If he didn't, then it would be much easier to trick him. He could directly see through this kid's trick and lead the brawny men from the village out of the village.

"Wealth to the southwest!" His gaze was like a hook as he stared at the old patriarch who was sitting on the ground. He sneered coldly, "You brat, since young, you've always been the most dishonest, always hiding good things. How could you have money that you don't know where you are going, it's you who's afraid that others will discover you! You won't be able to find the money, so stop playing tricks in front of the ancestors. Go home and check if you have hidden the Wu Qianqian 100 or so yuan under that brushwood jar on the southwest side of the bed! "

The moment the words left his mouth, everyone's gazes were on the Old Patriarch's face. They wanted to know from the change in his expression if Lin Bai's words were true or false. Especially the two sons of the old patriarch, they were all staring at their old man's face with burning eyes.

Back then, they had no money to treat their mother's illness. The matter of them dying from a serious illness had always been an unspeakable pain in their hearts. If they found out that their father didn't have the money to treat the illness, but was reluctant to leave, then they would have something to say!

"Ancestor, aiya …" When he thought of this, the old chief fell to the ground, staring at Lin Bai in a daze, his face full of fear. If he had not witnessed such a scene when he was young and had stayed in the village for so long, he would have peed his pants in fear of Lin Bai's shout!

One had to know that he had transferred that amount of money to a budding jar in the southwest corner of the bed two days ago. Furthermore, when he had placed the money there, he had looked around the house and only secretly put it there after confirming that no one was around.

However, not only did this kid tell him where the money was, he also told him how much money he had. If it wasn't for the fact that they were ghosts and gods, who would have such a mysterious technique?!

To be able to call out his name and reveal the location where he hid his money without the slightest deviation, how could this brat know about these secrets if he wasn't possessed by his ancestors.

Seeing the excited expression on the Old Patriarch's face, how could the surrounding villagers not see that Lin Bai's words had accurately cut into the secrets within the Old Patriarch's heart?

For a time, the entire crowd was silent, everyone had their mouths wide open as they stared blankly at Lin Bai. They simply could not believe their eyes, and the way in which these people looked at Lin Bai had undergone an earth-shattering change.

That gaze, which was filled with fear and reverence from before, had now completely changed to one of reverence. It was an expression that would only appear when they were paying their respects to their ancestors' gods. If one were to say that they had a sliver of doubt regarding Lin Bai being carried by their ancestor earlier, then this sliver of doubt had already been completely swept away. In their minds, who else other than their ancestor's divine spirit could have such means!

"You old bastard, you actually hid so much money from us!" Seeing that his father had already agreed, the two sons of the old patriarch flew into a rage. They did not care about the current situation and rushed up to the old patriarch and said angrily, "When my mother was sick, you cried for us to be poor. Now, let's see what you can say!"

It wasn't just his two sons. The surrounding villagers were also pointing at the old chief while mumbling to themselves. However, no matter how much one thought about it with their toes, they would still know that there was nothing good to say from their mouths. This old fellow was usually stingy to the extreme, and often cried about being poor to everyone. After all this time, it wasn't because he didn't have any money, but because he was stingy!

Furthermore, even his wife was reluctant to take out this money. This was even worse than an iron rooster!

Hearing these words, the old Patriarch's expression immediately turned uglier than crying. He was now incomparably regretful over his earlier question, if it wasn't for the fact that he didn't believe that Lin Bai had been humiliated by his ancestors and wanted to deliberately make things difficult for him, how could he have ended up in such a disgrace?

"Stop counting. I'll kowtow to your mother when I get back, and we'll split the money with you guys, alright?" The old patriarch painfully raised a hand to cover his head with a face full of pain. He muttered something to his two sons before turning to Lin Bai and kowtowing, "Ancestor, please save me!"

"Look at all the good things you've done over the years, even you know the word 'ancestor'!" Hearing the patriarch's words, Lin Bai's tone clearly slowed down. He gave the patriarch a few glances and said, "Old Gen, do you know that a disaster is about to befall the stronghold?!"
