Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 4042 (Four Thousand and Forty-Two) Bickering
"Ah?" said the man in the small gray hat, "Oh... yes... the young chieftain didn't say that I tore it... Yes, that's right, that's right! The young chieftain didn't say that."

"I just asked you if you know why there are some tears on his cuffs." Tie Hongyan said.

The man wearing the small gray hat became more nervous when he heard this and said, "The young patriarch didn't say that I tore it, and I really didn't tore it!"

Tie Hongyan said: "Yes, so I just asked if you knew."

"Oh, you're asking me if I know?" said the man in the little gray hat. "Well... I don't know. I really don't know!"

The other people in Tiecang thought his behavior was strange, as if he knew something but was trying to hide it.

Tie Hongyan thought that the reason he was like this was probably because he was scared, and he was not necessarily lying.

The reason why Tie Hongyan did not ask the man with several torn cuffs whether he knew how it happened, but instead asked the man wearing the small gray hat, was because he wanted to know whether the two of them had any connection, whether obvious or hidden, during the period when the strange phenomena occurred before.

He didn't get anything out of the man in the gray hat, so he decided to ask the man with several rips on his cuffs.

"Do you know what's going on?" Tie Hongyan asked.

At this time, the man wearing the small gray hat was thinking about the man with several rips on his sleeves.
The cuff had several tears on it before and he had said that he had torn it. Now he quickly interrupted and said, "If he says I tore it, then it must be a lie!"

Tie Hongyan thought: The other party hasn't said anything yet, but he thinks that he is the one who tore it. What's the reason for this? Did they talk about this before?
Tie Hongyan was just wondering if the man with several rips on his sleeves would suddenly say that it was the man in the small gray hat who tore them, when he heard the man with several rips on his sleeves say, "I didn't tell the young clan leader that it was you who tore them." The man in the small gray hat felt a little embarrassed, but the fear overwhelmed the embarrassment, so he said, "Just now... just now when the young clan leader wasn't here, did you say that it was me who tore them?"

The man with several rips on his sleeves said, "Now the young patriarch is asking me questions, so I will answer the young patriarch's questions."

The man in the little gray hat said, "You...you just..."

He wanted to change the subject by talking about the man with several rips on his cuffs, but he didn't say it because he was filled with fear.

Tie Hongyan was curious when she heard the man in the gray hat talking about what happened when she was not here. So she asked the man with the torn cuffs: "Tell me, did you say before that he tore it?"

The man with several rips on his sleeves was also a little embarrassed, and said to Tie Hongyan: "Young Clan Leader, just now... just now the situation was different. At that time, we were arguing with each other, and he asked me: 'Why is your sleeve like this? It wasn't like this before!', and I casually said to him: 'Did you tear it?' Later I didn't say that anymore."

"Why did you casually say that he tore it? Was it just because you were arguing?" Tie Hongyan asked.

“I guess so... After all... After all, I can’t find a reason and I don’t know what’s going on.” said the man with several torn sleeves.

The man wearing the small gray hat felt a little more at ease after hearing what the man with several torn sleeves said.
