Chapter 33: Shrinking

If I were a tourist, facing the majestic snow-capped mountains in the distance, the rolling hills around me, and the wildflowers all over the mountains, I would definitely indulge in the beauty of the paradise in front of me, and let my mind and nature intimate.

But now I'm hungry and tired, and the bruises, bruises, and severe muscle aches I'm trying to pounce on my big soft bed at once!

"How long will it take to have a place to call, I have to call my parents."

I walked to the river and sat down, basking in the sun with my face up, I used to wear a parasol or a cap when I went out, for fear that the ultraviolet rays would turn black, but now the heat of the sun brings me a sense of returning to the world.

Sanjiu fiddled with his black plate, constantly observing the situation around him, and when he heard my question, he moved slightly, and looked at me with a look that I couldn't read, and then he told me everything he knew about me.

My name is Li Miaoxue, and on the surface I run a second-hand bookstore called Nianjiu, but secretly I am a private treasure hunter who specializes in finding treasures, and I have cooperated with many people on the road, but I am generally a lone ranger.

When he talked about the death of my parents, my mind was so shocked that I forgot to cry, and I hurriedly asked him about the cause of his parents' death, and he said that the information only wrote about the traffic accident, and the time was December 31, 2014.

That is, after I and Lao Lin Gujing searched for treasures, and according to the information he found, Lao Lin and I both disappeared during the eleventh holiday, and I didn't return to my hometown until my parents died unexpectedly, as for Lao Lin......

He paused for a moment before saying, "Lin Min, who disappeared with you, appeared two months ago. It was she who gave me detailed information about the altar of the canyon. ”

Lin Min, my colleague and friend Lao Lin, an ordinary girl born in a small town in Hebei, I have seen her parents, it is an ordinary family, she is also a simple person.

How could she have information on the underground altar? Was it given to her by someone else, or was she here herself?

Why did she disappear for five years and not come home? What happened together during the two months we went missing?

A series of questions smashed on my tense nerves and messed up my reason, but I had a hunch that the problem must be on the copper well, which was not the treasure trove of the rich people of the Republic of China, but something else!

But this is just my speculation, and I will have to go again to find out the truth of what happened, but first I have to go home, at least to my parents' graves.

The sadness was extreme, but the tears couldn't flow, but the chest was stuffy, like pressing a thousand pounds of boulder, and it was like being punched.

I stared at the river in a daze, Sanjiu continued to measure something with a black plate, and it didn't take long to determine the position, and after a short rest by the river, we continued to set off, when we came, a team of more than a dozen people, now only two of us remained, and the rest of the life and death were uncertain.

Perhaps I just heard the news of the loss of my loved ones, and I was deeply touched by life and death, so I asked Sanjiu: "Do you say Huazeng can they come out?" ”

Although Sanjiu's eyes are always gloomy, their eyes are particularly bright in the sun, and there are no emotional fluctuations in those bright eyes, just looking straight ahead, and replying: "Don't underestimate them." ”

I was somewhat comforted, and began to wonder if my sixth sense had exploded, and Leng could hear the 'reassuring' in his cold tone.

After walking for most of the day, seeing the sunset in the west, there is still no half a figure in sight, I have heard that there is no man's land in the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon, maybe we are unlucky to be in it!

If Sanjiu wasn't in charge of finding water and food, even if I escaped alone, I would probably end up in the wilderness, so I felt that a strange change had occurred in my body after seven days of sleeping in the open.

But at first I didn't pay much attention to it, because the change was not very noticeable, and after fifteen days, I could no longer ignore the abnormality in my body.

There were no mirrors or reflective objects, so I had to ask Sanjiu, "Do you think I'm getting shorter?" ”

Sanjiu is looking for food and drink around these days except for rest, and in addition to the fact that we are all unkempt, he rarely pays attention to me.

He looked at my face for a long time, and sure enough, his eyes sank, and he said, "You've become smaller." ”

It didn't seem like it was not possible, he used a tone of complete affirmation.

I touched my cheeks with a noticeably smaller circle of hands, but the most obvious change was on my chest, where the length, width, and height were all shrunk!

I hurriedly looked at Sanjiu, he basically didn't change except for the beard that added a sense of maturity, so I was the only one who had the problem?!

"Remember Xuanqing? The pit that made him old in an instant. ”

His words reminded me, I didn't think about it at the time, I just thought that Mr. Feng Shui had been poisoned by the aging poison in the pit, but now I kind of understand the meaning of Sanjiu.

If the assumption is true, it can explain how the vanished animals disappeared - the time rift!

But this assumption is also the most outrageous, not to mention the complex conditions required for time warp, just because Sanjiu is safe and sound, the assumption cannot be established.

But how do you explain the slow motion I saw when I fell into the water, the animals that should have fallen into the pool with us but disappeared?

Regardless of the facts, the problem I'm facing now is that I'm getting smaller, no, younger!

After fifteen days of walking, I became a teenager younger, and at this rate, I didn't exist before I got home.

"Take it close to you." Sanjiu stuffed me with the black plate without saying anything, didn't he know that I had a psychological shadow on this thing?

But in order to survive, a dead horse should be a live horse doctor! After all, I have learned the magic of the black plate, and I am grateful to it for the injuries on my body that can heal so quickly.

I put the plate in my arms, and suddenly I shivered, and I don't know what the material of this black plate is, like a lump of ice, look at Sanjiu usually put it in his arms, and his brows are not wrinkled, and it is really the same attribute and harmony!

Although the speed of getting smaller is obviously slowing down after wearing the black plate, the 'root cause' of my body has not been removed, and it will disappear sooner or later.

Since I knew that my fate was not long, I took advantage of the sparse moon and stars, the night was quiet, and the beautiful scenery was suitable for chatting...... Of course, mainly because there are a few questions that have been bothering me, how can I want to know the answer before I die, so I took the initiative to talk to Sanjiu, such as asking him about his original intention of finding the "Autopsy and Burial Sutra", as well as my grievances with him.

"I came for two purposes, the burial scripture and the autopsy." Sanjiu leaned against the trunk of the tree across from me, his eyes that had been closed open at my question.

"Isn't this just one? Where else? ”

"The funeral scripture is one of them, and the second is the autopsy."

"Didn't you say it's a book?"

"Zhao Le's matter, do you understand?"

"He? You... You really knew about him being parasitized! ”

"The ghost who eavesdropped on my conversation with the fifth master at the altar is you."
