C22 Cave Man(2)
Standing nearby, Yang Fann finally saw the face of the strange man. His nose was covered by his beard, and the wrinkles on his face were very deep. He seemed to be very old, but his entire body was faintly emitting a powerful aura. Even though he was sitting there, Yang Fann still felt a sense of respect.
"Who are you? Were you the one who spoke earlier? How did you get locked up here? " Yang Fann looked at the iron chains on the strange man's limbs that were about the size of his legs and asked suspiciously.
"Hehe, I will naturally tell you who I am in the future. But now is not the time. I'm afraid that saying it out loud will scare you away. Then no one will accompany me to relieve my boredom! " The strange man smiled mysteriously and did not answer Yang Fann's question.
"Tsk, at most it's a big devil who kills without blinking. There's nothing that can scare me away!" Yang Fann rolled his eyes and said.
Hearing Yang Fann's words, the strange man laughed heroically. "You're quite interesting, kid. You fit my taste. You're a student of that Preston Academy, right?"
Speaking of Preston, Yang Fann sighed. "You can say yes, but you can also say no!"
" Oh? Tell me, what's going on?" That strange man seemed to be very interested in Yang Fann's matter.
For some reason, after just a few words, Yang Fann felt a trace of intimacy with the strange man beside him. His words and actions inadvertently revealed a heroic spirit, without any pretense, which made Yang Fann feel very comfortable.
Hearing the strange man's question, Yang Fann hesitated for a moment. Fan Xiu had always warned him. He must not let outsiders know about the matter of bearing the body, but... It was very painful to keep it in his heart. He had always wanted to find someone to tell him. But every time, he would think of Fan Xiu's advice.
"Hey, brat, I'm asking you a question. What are you spacing out for?" The strange man patted Yang Fann's head with his hand and said loudly.
Yang Fann rubbed his head and muttered, "Speak when you speak. Why did you attack?"
"Hehe, I like it. What can you do? Little bastard!" As he spoke, the strange man slapped Yang Fann again.
"Alright, alright, stop hitting me. If you hit me again, I'll turn hostile!" Yang Fann quickly hid to the side and then rolled his eyes. "I can tell you, but you have to answer two of my questions first!"
"Hey, kid, you still dare to negotiate with me?" That strange person pretended to want to fight again, but unfortunately, he was chained up and could not reach Yang Fann.
"Listen to me first. These two questions are good for you and me. After I finish asking, if you don't want to answer, you can choose not to answer!" To be on the safe side, Yang Fann moved out again.
Seeing that Yang Fann was standing outside the range of the iron chain, the strange man had no choice but to sit down again. "Well, you can ask. I will try to answer you if I can."
"The first question is, of course, your name. I can't keep calling you strange, can I? You should be able to answer this question, right?" Yang Fann stared at the strange person and said.
The strange man thought for a while and nodded. "Well, that's true. Let me think about it. It has been too long, and it's getting a little blurry." After saying that, the strange man really sat there and frowned.
"Pretending? Who doesn't remember their names?!" Yang Fann curled his lips and muttered in a low voice.
"Oh, I remember now. I think my name is Zang Qi. Yes, that's what other people used to call me. You can call me that!" The strange man slapped his forehead and jumped up from the ground, seemingly very excited.
Yang Fann rolled his eyes and thought, "Is there a need to be so happy when I think of my name? But I don't dare to say it out loud. He said, Senior Zang Qi... "
"Wait a minute!" Before Yang Fann could ask the second question, the strange man who called himself Zang Qi said," Zang Qi is Zang Qi. Don't bring that senior with you. I hate seniors the most. Just call me Zang Qi! "
"Uh... Alright then, Zang Qi!" Yang Fann was a little confused about this strange old man's temper, but he still sincerely appreciated his straightforward personality.
"Mm, it sounds so good to hear. Haha, it's been a long time since someone called me by my name!" When Zang Qi heard Yang Fann call his name, he laughed happily.
Yang Fann quickly interrupted Zang Qi and said, "The second question. I want to ask how long you have been locked up here."
Zang Qi lowered his head again and thought for a while. He said, "I really can't remember this clearly. It has been about seventy to eighty years!"
"Seventy to eighty years? " Yang Fann said in surprise, but Zang Qi did not look like he was lying. If he had stayed here for seventy to eighty years, how old would he be this year?
"Well, I have forgotten how long it has been. It has been a long time..." Zang Qi looked forward and his eyes were a little dull, as if he had thought of something.
Yang Fann asked tentatively, "Then how old are you this year?" He was really curious about this question.
"Stinking brat, you promised me two questions. You want to fool me, right?" Zang Qi withdrew his thoughts. Even his voice wasn't as loud as before.
Yang Fann did not ask anymore. Since Zang Qi had been here for so many years, he reckoned that he might not be able to get out in the future. Then, it did not matter even if he told Yang Fann about the matter of the host body.
"Hey, kid, you should tell me this time, right?"
"Of course, I always keep my word!"
Yang Fann also sat down cross-legged and began to talk about the past of his father's life since childhood. He also talked about how Aaron wanted to humiliate him until he entered the Preston Academy. After learning about the body, he told Zang Qi everything from the beginning to the end.
