Astral Apostle Chapter 16: Play it out

This person, turned out to be Will's brother? !

The three of Griff were stunned.

"You don't believe it?" Zhou Jing raised an eyebrow.

"Well, that's not...it's just that Will didn't tell us about..."

Griff suppressed his shock and stammered.

He really did not expect that Will still has relatives, and relatives have come to the door!

In fact, "Will Wood" has always been quite mysterious. He has a surname and seems to be a tribal blood relative, but he has never mentioned his family and relatives. They don't know that this guy has an older brother.

However, in the end, everyone only got along for a few days. Although Will left a deep impression on them, it is normal not to disclose the origin.

"That...how did you find this place?"

Griff's face was bewildered, and the last thing he understood was this.

The matter of Will's death here is temporarily known only to the people in their Frostwood Village. Where did the outsiders know about it?

Zhou Jing's face did not change color:

"There is a feeling between brothers, plus a little intuition."

"Yes, yes."

Griff froze.

He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't seem to refute it.

Griff prefers that the man in front of him has been looking for his brother's whereabouts, and now he finally found it, but he didn't say it clearly.

After all, everyone has come, so I can only believe it.

As for doubting whether this person is Will's brother... He can't judge at all, so he can't go down to Will to verify it now.

Seeing Griff's hesitation, Zhou Jing smiled secretly, but he said solemnly:

"I can see that you are doubting me."

"Well, that's not..." Griff was a little at a loss how to express it.

"It's fine, I understand your concerns." Zhou Jing rolled up his sleeves, showing his deliberately added bird-shaped tattoo, and said slowly, "Will has someone with me. The same tattoo, which is the mark of our brothers."

"I've seen this before!"

Griff was taken aback.

While caring for a seriously injured Will, he discovered the tattoo on Will's body.

Unless someone close to you, it is impossible to know such a secret thing!

This time, Griff's suspicions were dissipated a lot. If he only believed half of what Zhou Jing said just now, he now believes it 90% to 100%.

This Jason Wood is probably Will's brother...

Grieve suddenly felt a burst of guilt in his heart. He was at a loss, not knowing how to face Zhou Jing.

My relatives came to the door and found that my younger brother was unfortunately dead. It's a bit difficult to explain to their relatives...

It's fine if it's a stranger, but Will saves the hunters' lives indirectly, but in the end he dies, and Griff has been brooding about it.

It's not that after only a few days together, the friendship is deeper than that of other companions, but because Will is not a hunter's companion, he voluntarily shot at a critical moment, reducing their casualties and being kind to them.

Griff originally thought that he had rescued a lost person, but he did not expect that he was the one who was rescued, and the other person died because of this. This psychological gap made him feel guilty all the time.

At this time, facing "Will's brother", Griff felt even more ashamed.

He was a little afraid to look into Zhou Jing's eyes, and said disappointedly:

"My name is Griff and I'm a hunter in this village. Your brother saved our lives, but we couldn't save him... I'm sorry."

Zhou Jing waved his hand and said slowly:

"It's not your responsibility. I can see that you are a good man. You said that Will got lost and asked you for help. Fortunately, you helped him, or he would have died in the forest. Will owes it first. You are kind, so you don't have to apologize to me at all."

Hearing this, Griff was stunned for a moment, and then a warm current surged in his heart.

"As for my brother's death..." Zhou Jing paused, acting as if he was very relieved: "He chose to fight like a man and saved your lives, then his death was worthwhile, not in vain. I'm so proud of him for wasting his life!"

Griff was instantly moved.

I only met today. He didn't know what kind of person "Will's brother" was, but hearing these words now, Zhou Jing's image instantly grew taller in his heart.

To be so open-minded!

Grieve felt a surge of admiration in his heart, and he felt he couldn't do it.

Zhou Jing smacked his lips, and was still complacent, and added forcefully:

"Our family motto is to die well! As long as life burns with value, then there is no regret! Will has implemented our family motto, he is good!"

Griff was instantly in awe.

This sounds like a strong and noble family!

Seeing that several people were being frightened, Zhou Jing tightened his expression and maintained a calm expression, secretly complaining in his heart.

These two are me, can you not be open-minded...

Pretending to be the elder brother of "Will Wood" is a plan he thought of. In this way, it can be used as an entry point to get acquainted with Griff and others, and gain from the influence left by the last apostle. income.

——Let the new astral apostle connect with the previous vest, so as to inherit some of the contacts made by the previous apostle... This is a plan of action that he thinks is very feasible after thinking.

For this reason, Zhou Jingcai deliberately got a tattoo on his body when pinching people, the same style as "Will Wood".

With this tattoo, coupled with my understanding of Griff and others, and the simplicity of people who are easy to trust in this era... There is no need to go back and forth to try to pay attention to too many details, and it is enough to show your identity directly.

He was still thinking about whether to dig out Will for proof, but fortunately Griff saw Will's tattoo while caring for the wounded, so there is no need to make such a "desperate of conscience" suggestion.

Now it seems that the effect of this plan is more than good, it is simply wonderful!

When he was secretly happy, Griff glanced at the tombstone, his expression a little embarrassed:

"Because of reason, I should let you take Will's body away. I am also willing to help, but after all, it was buried for almost 30 days, maybe a little..."

"No need, let my brother rest in peace here." Zhou Jing shook his head.

"Okay... Then what are you going to do next?"

Griff was curious.

Zhou Jing suddenly regained his senses.

The words I said before were all for this moment. Now that the heat is almost over, it's finally time for a showdown.

Zhou Jing turned his head to look at the tombstone, tried his best to make a sad expression, and lowered his voice:

"I want to live in the village temporarily, to accompany my brother..."

"No problem!" Griff immediately agreed: "You can stay at my house these days."

Zhou Jing, however, waved his hand and refused, and said slowly, "I plan to live for a long time. I don't have the habit of being fostered. I can pay the labor as the rent for staying in this village."

"Are you planning to live longer?"

Griff was taken aback and secretly sighed.

Although this man is strong and open-minded, his relationship with his younger brother is really good.

——Maybe this is Tie Han Tenderness?

Griff sighed secretly, then asked curiously, "How long do you want to stay in Frostwood Village?"

"I don't know, it may be a long time... Does your village not welcome outsiders?" Zhou Jing raised his brows.

"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 be the master."

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, and the village chief will definitely agree."

Zhou Jing had no objection and nodded.

A few people walked out of the cemetery. The villagers watching outside saw that Zhou Jing was not in danger, and immediately dispersed. With the scale of the village, the news could soon spread to everyone.

…

The village chief's longhouse is in the center of the village. Griff took Zhou Jing over there, talking while walking along the road.

"Speaking of which, your surname is Wood, which clan is your blood relative?"

Griff wondered

Good question, I'd like to know too...but I'm more interested in knowing what a "tribal blood relative" is.

Zhou Jing coughed and said ambiguous: "It's all in the past, so don't mention it again."

Griff was taken aback for a moment, thinking that Zhou Jing didn't want to talk, and he didn't force it.

But thinking of Will entering the forest alone~IndoMTL.com~ and his brother choosing to stay in this remote village... Griff only thinks they have an unforgettable past.

Having the identity of "Will's brother", Griff had no doubts, thought about it, and asked again:

"How many brothers and sisters do you have in your family?"

"It depends..."

"What?"

"Ahem, I mean I'm not sure, our brothers and sisters are scattered all over the place, and many people have lost contact."

Zhou Jing didn't blink his eyes, he was just talking nonsense.

The number of brothers in the family depends on how many times I die...

Griff nodded, seemingly understanding, and suddenly pointed at Ross.

"Is he also your brother?"

He wanted to ask just now, this person didn't say a word, just followed Zhou Jing silently, what kind of look is he?

Zhou Jing had already prepared the draft and explained:

"He is my companion, he follows me everywhere, and if I stay, he will stay with me."

"So that's the case, that seems to be a very good friend!"

Griff was stunned, stretched out his hand to Ross, and said enthusiastically, "Hello, what's your name?"

Ross glanced down at his hand, but didn't respond.

Griff's expression froze, a little embarrassed: "Your friend doesn't seem to like to talk?"

The corner of Zhou Jing's mouth twitched vaguely.

"Uh, don't worry about him, his name is Ross, he's a mute, and his brain is broken. He can only understand what I say, so I take him with me wherever I go."

Ross: (←_←)

Griff was stunned, as if he understood something.

He shook his head, patted Zhou Jing on the shoulder, and sighed, "It seems that it is not easy for you."

Ross: (→_→)
