Chapter 19: Dreams and Reality
"Grandpa...... Grandpa!"
Outside the dream, Fang Ming woke up from his sleep with an exclamation.
"Hehe, you're finally awake. ”
"Who! Who are you? Where is this?"
"Hehe, my name is Chen Ergou, and they all call me Dasha. This is the Dongshan Mine!" Ergou replied stupidly while standing in front of the bed, and did not forget to shake his head when he said it.
"Chen Ergou, you are Chen Ergou!" Fang Ming, who heard this name, suddenly recalled the conversation between the people before he passed out, and couldn't help but get up from the bed excitedly and asked, "Are you okay?"
"Hehe, the second dog is fine. Except for his brother, no one can bully Ergou. ”
Fang Ming looked at this big boy with an innocent smile and a thin body, with tattered clothes, dirty face, a chin burned by fire, and stupid behavior, and he didn't know for a moment whether to be happy with him or to be sad from the bottom of his heart.
For it was as if he had perfectly avoided all the favor of God.
But even so, it didn't stop him from smiling brightly.
However, what Fang Ming didn't notice was that the room was pitch black. In this environment where he couldn't see his fingers, he could see everything clearly, just like when he had a dream of the Black Dragon in Hell.
"Why are you here? Did they lock you up here?" "Locked up here!"
The original unintentional inquiry made Fang Ming suddenly realize this problem. The doors and windows of this room were closed, and there were no candles in the room. So how did he see his surroundings clearly?
"Dragon!" Fang Ming suddenly remembered everything in the dream, the big black loach, and every word it had ever said.
He jerked his head down and looked at his right arm in disbelief. Concealed by two layers of coarse cloth, the cartouche embroidery was still clearly visible.
"How is it possible?"
The dark lines, stroking the wind and swirling, outline a strange shape like a pupil. When you look at it, it doesn't move, but when you dodge the slightest look, it keeps spinning.
"The home of the big black worm!" said Ergou casually.
"Big Black Worm?Dragon?" Fang Ming looked at Ergou in confusion, and found that his honest gaze also stayed on his right arm. "Do you know it?"
"This is the big black worm, it will protect my brother, and it will also protect the second dog. Ergou said, also showing his arms.
On his swarthy right arm, a swirl embroidery very similar to Fang Ming's was attached to it.
The same dark lines outline a circle that is noticeably much simpler. If Fang Ming's embroidery is a bowl of sand, then the two dogs are a bowl of stones.
There is no essential difference, just the difference between the delicate and the abbreviated.
As the arms of the two inadvertently approached, the two embroidery gradually showed signs of turning.
Fang Ming's embroidery rotates in time, slowly and steadily.
The second dog is spinning in the opposite direction, and it is spinning faster and faster.
This sudden change made Fang Ming a little overwhelmed, and he subconsciously withdrew his hand.
I didn't expect it to be okay not to shrink, this shrinkage directly hurt Fang Ming. The second dog is also a grinning in pain.
The culprit that made the two of them feel pain was nothing else, but an invisible black line. Connected between the arms of the two, it flew out of Ergou's fingertips at an extremely slow speed and flew towards Fang Ming's fingertips.
"This ...... It's ......" Fang Ming looked at Ergou's fingertips in surprise.
"My brother's big black worm wants to take away the two dogs, they want to be one, they don't want to be separated. "In addition to the dragon and the black line, Ergou seems to know many things that even Fang Ming doesn't know.
"Are you saying they're inside the two of us, and they can sense each other?"
"Well, the big black worm in the body of the second dog was drilled in by itself. The one in my brother's body was put in by Ergou. The bad guys want to hurt the elder brother, and the second dog doesn't want the elder brother to be hurt. The big black worm is very powerful, and it can protect my brother......" Ergou said with a look of grievance.
"Put it in my body......" Fang Ming said, looking up and down. He had an expression of disbelief when he saw the torn clothes on his chest......
The place where the two dogs were cut before was still on the chest, and there were still residual blood stains on the torn clothes.
It's just that the wound has healed in a strange way, and in addition to the lack of scabs, a string of scale armor like fish scales has grown.
Two inches long and half an inch wide, like a pitch-black closed eye, sticking vertically to the center of the chest.
"Ergou, is the big black worm you said hidden in the tea leaves or in a black egg?"
"Uh...... Black eggs!"
"And do you know where those black eggs were found?"
"It was a ...... rolled out of the collapse at the bottom of the mine," Ergou recalled. "There were three of them, one for Ergou and Brother Tie Han, and the last one was snatched away by the mine owner and their villains. But the second dog saw that they were hiding in the cabinet in this room, so he took it out and gave it to your brother, haha!"
"Uh...... Ergou, why do you call me brother? Who taught you?"
"You are Ergou's brother, and you will always be ......" Ergou's eyes were firmly assured.
Fang Ming wanted to say something, but Ergou grabbed his hand first.
In an instant, the whole room went dark. Although the light in the room had always been like this and had never changed, in Fang Ming's eyes, it was bright and dark.
"Brother, don't make a sound, the big bad guy is coming. ”
As soon as Ergou finished speaking, a familiar voice sounded at a point very close to the house: "Shao Tuo, go to the kitchen and take down all the bacon on the beam, cut it into whole pieces, and wrap it, so that the military masters can take them on the road to satisfy their hunger!"
"Okay, I'll get it for you right away. ”
As soon as the latter's voice fell, a noise of carriages and horses sounded.
"Master Xing, don't bother, just fill the water bag we are waiting for. Our group of soldiers have long been accustomed to traveling in hunger and do not need much to eat. ”
"Don't say that, the transport army has marched so hard, and it should be well supplied. There is no labor to prepare a banquet in the mine, and we are already lazy, and I hope not to refuse these foods. ”
"Boss, since Lord Xing has said so, then let's take it!"
"Yes, sir, take it......"
"Take it......"
"That'...... I have thanked the owner of Xing Mine for his kindness!"
"Haha! Du Tou is polite! If you want to thank you, it should be Xing Xie Dutou...... right"
"Uh...... Haha......"
After some false politeness, the two of them laughed heartily.
"Why is it so noisy outside, is the mine so lively on weekdays?" Fang Ming heard the conversation of several people outside, and asked Ergou curiously.
"No, they're here to deliver meat buns. ”
"What? Deliver meat buns? Is there anyone else who delivers food to the mine?" Fang Ming looked confused when he heard this.
Ergou explained stupidly: "This Ergou doesn't know, anyway, every month when we distribute meat buns, they will come." After speaking, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"Do they come on horseback, in wagons, and what do they do but eat meat buns?"
"I also eat the big fat pig raised by Granny Wang's family, and I drink ......" When he said this, even Fang Ming couldn't help but want to taste it, but Ergou didn't react.
This made Fang Ming very uncomfortable. The reason doesn't need to be thought about to know, there are many people who have seen pigs running in Beisheng, but how many people can really eat meat?
He began to hate himself for eating too much and too well, and hated himself for filling his hunger with things that no one else had tasted.
But Fang Ming is not the only one who has this kind of thought, but the reality is often "really fragrant".
Who in the world would have a better life?
