Astral Apostle

   Chapter 16 Acting

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

The three of   Griff 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..."

  Griff suppressed his inner shock and stammered.

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

  Actually, "Will Wood" has always been quite mysterious, with a surname, it seems that he is a tribal blood relative, but he has never mentioned his family and relatives, and 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 was puzzled, the last thing he understood was this.

  The fact that Will died 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 bit of intuition."

   "Yes, yes."

  Griff stayed for a while.

   He always felt that something was wrong, but he seemed unable to refute it.

  Griff is more inclined to the person in front of him who has been looking for the whereabouts of his younger brother, and he has finally found it now, but he has not stated 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 now to verify.

   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 okay, I understand your concerns." Zhou Jing rolled up his sleeves, showing the bird-shaped tattoos he had added on purpose, and said slowly, "Will has the same tattoos as mine. , this is the mark of our brothers."

   "I've seen this before!"

  Griff was taken aback.

When    was taking care of the seriously injured Will, he discovered that Will had this tattoo on his body.

   Unless you are close to someone, 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, then he believed it 80% to 90% now.

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

  Grieve felt a sudden burst of guilt, feeling at a loss, not knowing how to face Zhou Jing.

  The relatives of the family came to the door and found that the younger brother was unfortunately dead, which is a bit difficult to explain to the relatives of the family...

   If it were a stranger, it would be fine, but Will indirectly saved the hunters' lives, but in the end he died, and Griff has been brooding about it.

   It doesn’t mean that after only a few days together, the friendship is deeper than that of other companions, but because Will is not a hunter 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 never thought 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.

   Facing "Will's brother" at this time, Griff felt even more ashamed.

   He was a little afraid to look directly 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 person. 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 you the favor first, So you don't have to apologize to me at all."

   Hearing the words, Griff was stunned, and then a warm current surged in his heart.

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

  Griff was instantly moved.

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

   can be so open-minded!

  Grieve felt a surge of admiration in his heart, and he felt that he must not be able to do this.

   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 resolute and noble family!

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

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

   pretending to be the older brother of "Will Wood" is a plan he thought of, so that he can use it as an entry point to get acquainted with Griff and others, and benefit from the influence left by the last apostle.

  —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 love and reason, I should let you take Will's body away. I'm also willing to help, but after all, it's been buried for almost 30 days, maybe a little..."

   "No, 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 came to the spirit.

  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 stay 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 to refuse, and said slowly: "I plan to live for a long time, and I don't have the habit of being fostered. I can pay the labor and use it as the rent for staying in this village."

   "Are you going 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 secretly sighed, and 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, 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, and they talked while walking on the road.

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

  Griff curiously asked

   Good question, I want to know too...but I want to know what "tribal blood relatives" really are.

   Zhou Jing coughed and said ambiguously, "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 say it, and he didn't force it.

   But thinking of Will entering the forest alone, and his brother choosing to stay in this remote village... Griff only felt that they had an unbearable past.

   has the identity of "Will's brother", but Griff has no doubts. After thinking about it, he asked again:

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

   "It depends..."

"what?"

   "Cough, 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.

   How many brothers are there in the family, it depends on how many times I die...

  Griff nodded in understanding and suddenly pointed at Ross.

   "Then 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, it seems to be a 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?"

   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 my words, 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: (→_→)
