016 Acting(1/2)
This man is actually Will’s brother?!
The three of them were stunned.
"You don't believe it?" Zhou Jing raised his eyebrows.
"Well, that's not...it's just that Will didn't tell us about it..."
Grif suppressed his inner shock and stammered.
He really didn't expect that Will still had relatives, and that their relatives even came to visit him!
In fact, "Will Wood" has always been quite mysterious. He has a surname and seems to be a blood relative of the tribe, but his family and relatives have never been mentioned. They don't know that this guy has an older brother.
However, after all, they only got along with each other for a few days. Although Will left a deep impression on them, it was normal not to reveal his background.
"Um...how did you find this place?"
Grif's face was full of confusion. This was what he didn't understand the most.
For the time being, only the people in Frostwood Village know that Will died here. How did outsiders learn about it?
Zhou Jing’s expression did not change:
"Brothers have a feeling of each other, plus a little bit of intuition."
"Yes, really."
Grif was stunned.
He always felt something was wrong, but he seemed unable to refute it.
Griff was more inclined to think that the man in front of him had been looking for his brother's whereabouts, and now he finally found it, but he didn't say it explicitly.
After all, people are here, so I can only believe it for the time being.
As for doubting whether this person was Will's brother... he couldn't tell at all. He couldn't go down to Will for confirmation now.
Seeing Grif's hesitation, Zhou Jing smiled secretly, but on the surface he said solemnly:
"I can see that you are doubting me."
"Well, that's not really..." Grif didn't know how to express it.
"It's okay, I understand your concerns." Zhou Jing said in a nonchalant tone, rolled up his sleeves, showing the bird-shaped tattoo he deliberately added, and said slowly: "Will has the same tattoo as me.
, this is the mark of our two brothers."
"I've seen this before!"
Grif was shocked.
While taking care of the seriously injured Will, he discovered this tattoo on Will's body.
Unless someone is close, it is impossible to know such a secret thing!
This time, Griff's suspicions were dissipated a lot. If he only believed half of Zhou Jing's words just now, he now believes 90% of them.
This Jason Wood is probably really Will's brother...
Grif felt a sudden surge of guilt in his heart. He was a little at a loss and didn't know how to face Zhou Jing.
Relatives came to the door and found that my younger brother died unfortunately. This was a bit difficult to explain to the relatives...
It would be fine if they were strangers, but Will indirectly saved the lives of the hunters, but in the end he died, and Grif has always been worried about this.
It's not that after just a few days together, the friendship is deeper than that of other companions, but because Will is not a fellow hunter, and he voluntarily took action at a critical moment, reducing their casualties and being kind to them.
Grif originally thought he had rescued a lost person, but he didn't expect that he was the one who was rescued, and the person died because of it. This psychological gap made him feel guilty all the time.
Facing "Will's brother" at this time, Griff felt even more guilty.
He didn't dare to look directly into Zhou Jing's eyes and said in despair:
"My name is Grif, and I am a hunter from this village. Your brother saved our lives, but we couldn't save him... I'm sorry."
Zhou Jing waved his hand and said slowly:
"This is not your responsibility. I can see that you are a good person. You said that Will was lost and asked you for help. Fortunately, you helped him, otherwise he would have died in the forest. It was Will who owed you a favor first.
So you don’t have to apologize to me at all.”
Hearing this, Grif was stunned for a moment, and then a warm current surged in his heart.
"As for the death of my brother..." Zhou Jing paused and looked very pleased: "He chose to fight like a man and saved your lives, so his death was worthwhile and he did not waste his life in vain.
Life, I'm proud of him!"
Griff was immediately moved.
They just met today, and he didn't know what kind of person "Will's brother" was, but now that he heard these words, Zhou Jing's image instantly grew taller in his heart.
How can you be so open-minded!
A feeling of admiration arose in Grif's heart, and he felt that he would definitely not be able to achieve this kind of mentality.
Zhou Jing smacked his lips, still enjoying his performance, and added sonorously:
"Our family motto is to die well! As long as life is worth burning, there will be no regrets! Will has implemented our family motto, and he is good!"
Griff was immediately in awe.
This sounds like a resolute and noble family!
Seeing that several people were being frightened, Zhou Jing tightened his expression and maintained a calm look, complaining secretly in his heart.
Both of these are me, how can I not be open-minded...
Disguising himself as "Will Wood"'s brother was his plan. In this way, he could use it as an entry point to get acquainted with Grif and others, and to benefit from the influence left by the previous apostle.
Let the new astral apostle have contact with the previous vest, so as to inherit some of the connections made by the previous apostle... This is a plan of action that he considered very feasible after thinking about it.
For this reason, Zhou Jingcai specially got a tattoo on his body when pinching people, which was the same as "Will Wood".
With this tattoo, coupled with my understanding of Griff and others, and the simplicity of this era that makes it easy to trust others... there is no need to go back and forth and pay too much attention to details, it is enough to just come up and show your identity.
He was originally thinking about whether to dig Will out for verification, but fortunately Grif saw Will's tattoo while taking care of the wounded, so there was no need to make such a "conscientious" suggestion.
Now it seems that the effect of this plan is not only good, it is simply wonderful!
When he was secretly happy, Griff looked at the tombstone with a somewhat embarrassed expression:
"For reasons and reasons, you should be allowed to take away Will's body. I am also willing to help. However, after all, it has been buried for almost thirty days, so it may be a bit..."
"No, just let my brother rest in peace here." Zhou Jing shook his head.
"Okay...then what are you going to do next?"
Grif was a little curious.
Zhou Jing suddenly became energetic.
What I said before was all for this moment. Now that the heat is almost up, it’s finally time for the showdown.
Zhou Jing turned to look at the tombstone, tried his best to make a sad expression, and lowered his voice:
"I want to stay in the village temporarily and stay with my brother..."
"No problem!" Grif agreed immediately: "You can stay at my house these days."
Zhou Jing waved his hand and refused, and said slowly: "I plan to stay here for a long time, and I don't have the habit of being supported by others. I can work hard and treat it as rent for staying in this village."
"Are you planning to stay longer?"
Grif was surprised and secretly sighed.
Although this man is strong and open-minded, he has a really good relationship with his younger brother.
Maybe this is the tenderness of a tough man?
Grif sighed secretly, and then asked curiously: "How long do you want to stay in Frostwood Village?"
"I don't know, maybe for a long time... Does your village not welcome outsiders?" Zhou Jing raised his eyebrows.
"Not really, it's just that Shuangmu Village is very remote and there are usually no outsiders, and this is something that can only be decided by the village chief. I can't make the decision."
Griff paused and said sincerely: "I can take you to see the village chief. Will is kind to our village. You are Will's brother. The village chief will definitely agree."
Zhou Jing had no objection and nodded.
Several people walked out of the cemetery. Seeing that Zhou Jing was not in danger, the villagers who were watching outside immediately dispersed. Given the size of the village, the news would soon spread to everyone.
…
The village chief's longhouse is in the center of the village. Grif took Zhou Jing there and talked while walking.
"Speaking of which, your surname Wood is a blood relative of which tribe?"
Grif wondered
Good question, I want to know too...but I want to know even more what "tribal blood relatives" are.
Zhou Jing coughed and said vaguely: "It's all in the past, there's no need to mention it again."
Grif was stunned, thinking that Zhou Jing didn't want to say it and he didn't force him.
To be continued...
