Chapter 5: Secrets (1)
One
The mountains are high and the world is vast, the snow-white clouds are piled up like scales, and the sun and the wind are blowing between the heavens and the earth, warm, shining, and caressing......
The fragrance of flowers lingers on the tip of the nose, and when you look up, you can see that the peach blossoms on the trees are in full bloom, and the pink ones are dyed with bright colors.
In fact, Hangeul is indeed dreaming.
I can't count how many times this is, every time I dream, the dream is still the world, the cliff, the peach blossom, and the back.
Han Wen wanted to know who the woman in white on the edge of the cliff was, and when he got closer to take a closer look, she also turned back. Han Wen was a little excited and expectant, trying not to blink, staring at her fixedly, counting the numbers in his heart.
One, two, three, four......
The golden light on the horizon flashed suddenly, and the light was shining, piercing the eyes to the point of blindness.
Five, six, seven, eight.......
Nine
Ten!
No more, no less, just ten integers, she turned around, the light was at its peak, and Han Wen still didn't see her face.
When he opened his eyes again, Han Wen knew that he had woken up from the dream and returned to reality.
It's a shame that I can almost see what that woman looks like. What the hell does Rouge want to do, the dreams she has had recently are all light with her, why does she force her dreams to herself?
Han Wen couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't get a response to his call to rouge, did this vixen plan to keep silent all the time?
But now is not the time to think about this, Han Wenke remembers the horrific picture she saw before she fell unconscious, and that ghost-like person almost scared her to death.
"Where is this?" she came back to her senses, and looked at her place seriously, the first thing she saw was the dark roof, and when she looked left and right, the empty and dim secret room, the ground was damp and cold, and the air was filled with a disgusting smell, and the four rusty candlesticks were located in the four corners, and the faint candlelight seemed to be blown out by a breeze. It wasn't a good place, especially when she was lying on the ground, her cold limbs stiff and numb, staring at the roof for a long time before she got up.
When you stand up, you can see it widely.
The Korean language swept at a glance, and the furnishings and items displayed in the secret room were all in view. Ignoring the broken copper and iron hanging from the walls, and the piles of wood that filled half the room, what caught his attention the most was a large bed in the center - in fact, in terms of size, this shabby and old bed was not very big, and the two children were lying side by side.
"Minyu, Zhu Yu?" weren't the two imps lying on it who had caused her bad luck?
She didn't care about any broken places, so she quickly touched them all over to make sure that there were no hairs or pieces of flesh, and then put down the stone in her heart.
"Woke up so fast?"
A voice came out of his back unexpectedly and spoke, which frightened Han Wen and exclaimed, jumped up and looked back, this look, he was full of excitement, and almost fell to the ground with weak legs.
Two
Han Wen held back his panicked heart, and tried his best to ask the person who appeared out of thin air calmly, "Who are you?"
"You don't know me anymore. The man was even more surprised than she was.
Han Wen recalled the person he had seen recently as quickly as he could, and there was no face that matched the number in front of him, in fact, there was no way to recognize who he was. Because—"How do I know who you are with a mask on your face." ”
"Oh, I almost forgot, I still have a mask, don't blame you, blame me, blame me!"
Is this person sick? Han Wen laughed on his face and vomited in his heart.
"This is the second time we've met, so let's introduce ourselves formally. My name is Mo Cui......" He took off his black mask as he spoke, and a human-like face was exposed to the candlelight, which seemed to be too "amazing" to appear, and the flames were shocked by his appearance and flickered twice, while Han Wen was direct-
"Ahh
For the second time in her life, the sick lady who was weak and delicate broke out with a scream beyond the limits of the human body.
Three
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was wrong. ”
Han Wen shook his body and kowtowed to apologize, and his voice was more sincere and touching.
"It's okay, it's okay, I should apologize to you, I'm sorry to scare you. Mo Cui touched her head and smiled indifferently. I wanted to help someone up, but before I could reach out to do it, they had already gotten up and leaned against the side of the bed like lightning.
"......" Han Wen's heart beat wildly, his hands and feet trembled, and he didn't care about patting off the ash on his clothes, his eyes widened and forced him to look at the man in front of him, and he kept hinting in his heart: Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, he doesn't eat people, he doesn't eat people......
"How? Remember me?"
"I remembered. ”
"I'll just say, we've met, how could you forget me, sure enough, my face is very recognizable. ”
“......”
Han Wen wanted to cry without tears, and wanted to scold his mother. Xindao You have a face that is unparalleled in the world, and no one will forget it when you see it!
Seeing his face, Han Wen still couldn't think of anything. It wasn't this face that caused her and Zhu Yu to faint, but I didn't expect that this person looked so hateful that he would kindly take the three of them to his home to settle down, and his heart was not bad, at least he was not a monster who lived underground and ate people.
"That ......," Han Wen couldn't help but whisper to him.
He asked, "What's wrong?"
Han Wen pointed to the mask on his hand, "Can you put it on?" Forgive her for being rude, she really couldn't face his face...... This face was more terrible than a grimace, the skin was purple-black, wrinkled and twisted, the eyes were surrounded by circles of black skin, and the eyes were large and small, the big ones were like brass bells, and the small ones were like soybeans, the tip of the nose was bifurcated into two sharp horns, there were no lips, and the two rows of black teeth were bare. By the way, there are no eyebrows, a hole in the forehead, and the muscles are turned outward, revealing a dirty purple skull inside, and some green hair on it;
"This mask, oh, I almost forgot, you don't like to look at my face, I'll put it on now, don't be afraid. He hurriedly put it back on, and after trying several times, his hair was either stuck or worn backwards, and this time he was even more in a hurry.
Han Wen felt guilty when he saw it, and said in a good voice: "If you want to, don't wear it." ”
"Really, great, this mask is hard to take and hard to wear, I'm annoyed. When he heard this, he was very happy, and laughed loudly, but who knows, his laughter was even more terrible.
"You better put it on. Han Wen regretted it, for the sake of mental health, she still shouldn't be too soft-hearted.
He was a little disappointed, but he still obediently put on his mask, and suddenly, the light in the secret room was much brighter than just now, and the candle flame seemed to jump happily twice.
Han Wen turned around and touched the hands of the people on the bed, who were cold and unconscious, and said worriedly: "Why aren't they awake yet?"
"There is miasma in the corridor, you have been staying for a long time, and you have absorbed a lot. They are still children, so it will take some time to get better. He walked over, put his dark and withered old hand on Minyu's wrist to probe the pulse, nodded and said, "Well, the miasma is gone, as long as they sleep one more night, they can wake up." But you surprised me, it was less than a day, and I woke up so soon. Your body is weaker than theirs, and you still have heart problems, how can you get better so quickly?" This question bothered him deeply, and through the mask, one could feel the entanglement and incomprehension of the face behind him.
Han Wen couldn't explain that there was a fox demon living in her body, and any magic and witchcraft were useless to her, and a little miasma couldn't help her.
"Will you see a doctor, are you a doctor?" Han Wen couldn't help but wonder about his profession as he watched his pulse movements and gestures fight with Mo Wenyou.
He didn't hide it, "I learned from the master before." ”
"Who is your master?"
"I forgot. ”
The topic of "......." couldn't be talked about anymore, and Korean was speechless for a while.
After he finished probing Minyu, he went to probe Zhu Yu's vein, and said without raising his head: "Why did you come to the ground?"
"Accidentally fell in. ”
"Yes? It's been a long time since I've seen anyone alive. ”
"You've been here for a long time?"
"No, I live here. ”
Han Wen was taken aback and blurted out: "Are you a gopher?"
He couldn't help but laugh, "I'm not a lowly monster like a rat spirit. ”
"You live here, do you know who owns these burial chambers underground, who built them?"
"I don't know, I don't usually go out much, except for the occasional foraging for food, by the way, I went out yesterday to find food, and I found you in the corridor, fortunately I found it early, otherwise you would not just faint. ”
Han Wen really wanted to tell him that we are not stunned by miasma, but stunned by you.
He continued: "You saw the burial chamber, and you saw the eight corpses inside. Originally, there was only one corpse here, but then there was another one, and then after a while there was another one, and now there are eight of them. I don't know who put it and who died. Anyway, every fifty years, there will always be one more here, and I'm not surprised. ”
"Well, you don't know...... Wait!" Han Wen suddenly grabbed his hand and asked urgently, "You just said fifty years! Do those corpses appear every fifty years?"
He tilted his head slightly, hesitated for a moment, and after thinking about it again, he nodded: "It's fifty years, I'm not mistaken, I also made a mark." He suddenly became excited, grabbed Han Wen's hand and brought it to the pile of wood, pointed to the wood and said, "I'm afraid of losing time, so I scratch a mark on the wood every day to remember the day, I remember that every time I finish the drawing fifty years later, there will always be a corpse in the coffin, so I remember correctly, I have a good brain." ”
Han Wen's mood was extremely complicated, and when he took a closer look, as he said, this pile of wood in half a room, each of which scratched dense lines, according to the number and which one it was, he had not only drawn a line for fifty years, but at least a hundred years of lines for these woods!
"Mo Cui, how long have you lived here?" Han Wen controlled his emotions and tried to look at the man holding his hand as calmly as possible.
"Well, I haven't thought about it, but it should have been a long time...... Probably, 500 years of living. ”
Five hundred years! You're a goblin!
"Yes......" Han Wen no longer knew what kind of expression to show to express the waves in his heart, and after thinking about it, he asked a strange question, "Why do you want to scratch on wood? Isn't it better to use it on the wall? ”
When he heard this, he suddenly realized, patted his rusty head, and said happily: "Why didn't I think of it? ”
The corners of Han Wen's mouth twitched........ This guy isn't just forgetful, he's actually a fool!
"Why are you living here?" Han Wen quickly sorted out his thoughts and began to inquire about the news.
"I'll be here as soon as I open my eyes, if I don't live here, where do I live?"
"You didn't think about going out?"
"I can't get out. ”
"Why?"
"There's a lot of formation in the ground, and I've tried to break out, but every time I've been bounced back. And the most infuriating thing is that this array can't be broken from the inside, it must be broken from the outside to open out. ”
"What kind of 'broken' can be opened?"
"It's simple, just make a hole from the outside, don't look at it, in fact, if you touch its wall lightly outside, it will fall, it's very easy. ”
Hangul was speechless for a long time. Dare to love that she and the two imps are not the reincarnation of Hercules and the saboteur, and this underground wall will shatter at the slightest touch. No wonder Zhu Yu was able to knock through the wall of the well, no wonder she broke the wall, no wonder Min Yu was able to push to the iron door, it turned out that everything was because of a formation. "Mo Cui, haven't you thought about going out to find your family? uh, you've lived for hundreds of years, do you still have family?"
He lowered his head, and the breath on his body suddenly changed a lot, and after a long time, he raised his eyes and said to her, "I don't know if I have any family." ”
Han Wen was shocked and blurted out, "You don't know your family?
He seemed to be distressed, scratching his head and thinking, "I should have it, but I don't remember." ”
Han Wen took a deep breath, "You have amnesia?"
"Hmm. He nodded vigorously.
Han Wen asked, "You don't know how you got here?"
"Hmm. He nodded.
Han Wen asked again, "Have you forgotten what happened before?"
"Hmm. Nodding again.
The mood fluctuated, Han Wen tried to calm down, and then asked: "Have you really lived for five hundred years?"
This time, there was no "um" to answer the question, he fell into deep thought, bowed his head and folded his hands to count no less than ten times, and looked up for a long time and said for sure: "Well, I have indeed lived for five hundred years." ”
Hiss - Han Wen accidentally ripped off a strand of his hair, and at the same time gasped, how could he not keep his composure, looking at him like a monster, his mind was full of thoughts: is he a human or a demon?
"I don't know if I'm a human or a demon. ”
Well?
"Can you hear me?" Han Wen was surprised.
"You just said it. ”
"Uh......" It turned out that he asked unconsciously, which scared her to death, and thought he could read minds.
But—"Who the hell are you?" she was distressed by the question, and he was bewildered.
Mysterious and strange underground tombs, mysterious and strange amnesiacs, this underground adventure is really "rewarding" a lot, and there are many surprises, however, Han Wen is not much happy and excited, on the contrary, it is foggy, and I don't know what to do.
