Chapter 61: Believe Him!
003 shrugged and said, "Maybe it's worse than that." ”
Erhei couldn't help but think of the miserable appearance of 003 he had seen in the passage below. He immediately shuddered.
What will those people do with them? A thousand cuts? Ling Chi was executed? Who will they be? Is it someone who is in the same group as those two mysterious people?
If those people really wanted to kill them, it would be easy. But why? Just because you came to this place for no reason, you deserve to be killed? It's unlikely, right? What's more, there is no "no entry" sign here!
However, Erhei suddenly had a feeling that his life was hanging by a thread, and he felt as if he had fallen into a huge whirlpool, and he was getting deeper and deeper. Whether he can climb out of this whirlpool, he doesn't know.
He was an ordinary peasant, resting from sunrise to sunset every day, eating whole grains every day, but he often starved. On such a day, he thought that he would live his life, but he was inadvertently involved in a place of right and wrong, and it was too late to get out.
As the saying goes, "good people don't live long, but disasters last for a thousand years". Erhei asked himself if he was not a good person, but he was definitely not a bad person. Unfortunately, people like him who are not good or bad tend to die faster than good people.
His eyes involuntarily looked at the little sister. No matter what the reason is, if it is really going to be hunted down, then the only one who can be counted on is Xiaomei.
"In fact, only you can help us, so, we have been waiting for you for a long time." 003 said to Erhei.
"I ???" Erhei looked left and right, then pointed to his nose and asked incredulously.
"That's right, it's you." 003 nodded.
Erhei could barely believe his ears. He looked at his little sister and then looked down at himself. "Are you sure it's not her, it's me?" ”
"I'm sure." 003 said.
"Do I still have the skills? I don't know it myself?! Erhei laughed dryly and said twice.
"Haven't you heard the phrase 'I was born to be useful'? It is not for nothing that the ancients said this. Don't underestimate anyone, including yourself. 003 said firmly.
"And how are you going to get out?" Erhei asked 003 hesitantly, and a bad premonition began to rise in his heart.
003 gently tugged the corners of his mouth, smiled slightly, and said: "The peach is on the open well, the plum tree is next to the peach, the insect comes to gnaw the peach root, and the plum tree is stiff for the peach." Trees are generations, brothers still forget each other! ”
This sentence Erhei has heard before, this is from the Southern Song Dynasty Guo Maoqian's compilation of "Yuefu Poetry Collection? Sentence from "Rooster Crow".
Li Dai Taozhuang, originally a metaphor for brothers to love each other, and later turned to receive it on behalf of others. If it is used in military affairs, it is a strategy to exchange a small price for a big victory when the enemy is evenly matched or the enemy is strong and we are weak. It's like the strategy of "abandoning the rook to protect the handsome" in chess.
Erhei was shocked when he heard this, does this mean to "abandon him and protect her"? Erhei mechanically turned his head to look at the meaning in the box, and suddenly sneered twice in his heart: "Speaking of which, you still want me to replace her." ”
003 shook his head and said, "I don't want you to stay in place of her, I just want you to pretend to be her for the time being, so as to achieve the effect of stealing the day." The reason why I said those things just now is because you will suffer some pain in the meantime. But the pain is not forever. ”
"What kind of pain?" Erhei frowned and asked, "I, will I die?" ”
003 shook his head and said, "You won't die, not only won't you die, but you ......"
Speaking of this, he suddenly fell silent and was silent.
Erhei sneered and said, "Are you fools to me? "The last time I was fooled, it was inexperienced, and the last time I was fooled twice, it was really stupid!
003 said, "He's right, you won't believe us." ”
After speaking, he suddenly turned around and disappeared in front of Erhei's eyes.
Erhei was startled, opened his mouth wide and said in surprise: "He...... He ......"
The meaning of being a cold bystander snorted lightly, and leaned against the wall of the box in a different position.
The little sister glanced at him, turned her head, and did not speak.
Erhei leaned over to Xiaomei's side and asked in a low voice, "Where did he go?" ”
Xiaomei said: "He is a ghost, naturally he can go wherever he wants, how will I know?" ”
Erhei turned his head boredly, but was suddenly surprised to find that 003 appeared in front of him again. He was like a ghost, silent, quietly coming and going.
No, Erhei thought to himself: he was originally a ghost!
003 stood in front of Erhei, almost touching his nose. Embarrassed and scared, Erhei hurriedly took two steps back and looked at 003 nervously.
only to see 003 reach out to him. 003 is holding a handkerchief in his hand. The fabric of the handkerchief is very coarse and poorly made, and the color is grayish, and there are even some slight tears on the edges of the handkerchief. It can be seen that this is an old handkerchief used by a man who is not very particular.
003 handed the handkerchief to Erhei and said, "Take it and have a look." ”
Puzzled, Erhei took the handkerchief, and he carefully unfolded it. There was nothing in the handkerchief.
Erhei raised his head and was about to ask, but he heard 003 say, "Turn it over and take a look." ”
Erhei's wrist turned, and the handkerchief was flipped over lightly.
Seeing the upturned handkerchief, Erhei's eyes suddenly straightened. He stared at the old, broken and inconspicuous handkerchief with wide eyes, and on the handkerchief, three words suddenly were written: Believe him!
Even if a few decades passed, even if Erhei was too old to walk, he could still recognize the handwriting on the handkerchief at a glance.
Erhei suddenly stepped forward excitedly to grab 003's hand, but he hesitated for a moment and finally didn't do so.
He asked 003, "Where did you get this handkerchief?!" His voice trembled slightly with excitement.
003 said lightly: "Someone else gave it." ”
"Who gave it?" Erhei asked: "Sue me, who gave it!" ”
003 seemed to be satisfied with Erhei's reaction, he looked at Erhei with a smile and said with a complacent expression, "Sue me for the person you will come to save us." ”
"You mean...... 005? Erhei asked.
003 smiled and nodded slightly.
“005?” Erhei muttered, listening to this name, he knew that this person was also from the Peach Blossom Garden, but how could the people in the Peach Blossom Land know a bandit who had been dead for many years?
Erhei looked down at the handkerchief in his hand, and then at 003, the handwriting on the handkerchief he recognized, it was the handwriting of his father Wang Fengming. You can't go wrong!
Erhei's brain thumped. What exactly is this qiē all about?
