Chapter 3178
Under the black cloth, there was a small stone box. The stone material was pitch-black and looked ordinary. It was high all around with a lid. A key lay quietly in the stone box.
Although the key was a little old, there was no rust on it. The materials were mainly made of stones. Some exquisite patterns were carved on it. The main body was about ten centimeters long and four or five centimeters wide. It could be counted as a giant key.
Seeing it, Ningyue and the others couldn't help but sigh in admiration at the exquisite key, but they were also extremely confused.
What made Village Chief and a group of elders' expressions change was actually just a single key!
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but look at Wang Simin strangely, and then at Village Chief and others strangely. They could not figure out the situation.
The old village chief nodded at the Thunder God, indicating for him to hand over the box. The Thunder God hesitated for a moment before finally holding the stone box in front of Wang Simin.
Wang Simin did not say anything more. She nodded and took out the key.
"Since the key is already ours, you should take us to the lock, right?" Wang Simin said.
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the old village chief and a group of elders immediately became extremely ugly.
"Simin, that's enough. The whereabouts of Samuel are currently unknown. Our top priority now is to hurry and find him." Ningyue hurriedly stood up. Finding Samuel was indeed the most important thing. However, Ningyue wanted to use this matter to temporarily resolve the awkwardness in the
arena.
Wang Simin had already taken the key, so she could not indulge her anymore. Otherwise, it would only make the villagers here more uncomfortable. "If Samuel could be found, Lu Yuan and the others should have found him a long time ago, instead of going out for a few hours and only bringing Qin Shuang back." Wang Simin replied softly, "Besides, I believe that Samuel will come back safely. Instead of waiting for him boringly, it's better to do something."
"Miss Wang, you..." Ningyue felt a little helpless. Although Wang Simin was right, it was useless to find Samuel. The most important thing now was to wait for him to come back.
But even so, she shouldn't vent her anger on the villagers.
"Miss Wang, since we can give you the key, then naturally, I will definitely not be stingy about the lock. However, there is one thing that I do not understand." The old village chief frowned for a long time and couldn't help but say.
"Go ahead and ask," Wang Simin said.
"Miss Wang, how did you know that our village has this key?" The old village chief asked seriously, "Could it be that Miss Wang has come to our village before?"
"Of course I've never been here.
However, it was my grandfather who sent me here. This piece of paper was also given to me by him," Wang Simin said as she gently glanced at the old village chief's arm.
The old village chief's arm was ordinary. Ningyue and the others followed Wang Simin's gaze and looked over. It was just an ordinary old man's hand, and they really
couldn't see anything strange about it.
As for the old village chief, at this time, when he saw Wang Simin's gaze, he quickly withdrew his hand. Although his movements were extremely hidden, it still caught a few people's attention.
Ningyue's intuition told her that this matter was not as simple as Wang Simin making things difficult for the villagers.
"Your grandfather?" The old village chief regained his composure and asked slightly, "What's his name?"
"My surname is Wang, and so is my grandfather," Wang Simin said.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
"Village Chief, someone surnamed Wang?" The Thunder God frowned and said, "In the past decades, there have been few guests in the village, and we know most of the names of the visitors. Some of them are surnamed Li, some are surnamed Zhang, but none of them are
surnamed Wang."
"Could it be that her grandfather changed his name when he came here?" An old man asked.
"My grandfather is a decent businessman. How could he change his name? Besides, my grandfather has seldom gone out in these years," Wang Simin said.
"That's impossible," the Thunder God replied.
"Alright." The old village chief waved his hand, "Stop arguing."
"But the village chief..." The Thunder God said anxiously.
"Even if his grandfather came here, what could it mean? The thing in the village has always been known only to you, me, and the elders," the old village chief said softly.
As soon as the old village chief finished speaking, the Thunder God and several elders looked at each other in dismay. This was not unreasonable. Except for the previous Village Chiefs and the few elders in the village, not even the villagers knew about this key, much less the outsiders.
How did Mr. Wang, who was thousands of miles away, know that? Even the shape of the key and the pattern it represented could be drawn directly? "Alright, since I've given you the key, I'll also give you the lock." At this moment, the old village chief suddenly said firmly, "However, I'm afraid that you won't dare to go!"
