Our group had been talking and laughing for three or four hours, during which the beggar had been chattering, he was very curious about how I had come out of the highly poisonous iron cage, and how Zhu Chun had turned into a puddle of yellow water, and it was a pity to let him go to see Lord Yama like this because he had not seen Zhu Chun. I've told you what happened no less than three times, and I can only laugh at the beggar's spirit of "breaking the casserole and asking the end".

In fact, I have a bigger question in my heart, how could Uncle Wu save the big boss Guo Qinghui for no reason? How did he recognize Guo Qinghui, whose face was painted all over his face? Uncle Wu was silent all the way, and I knew that his mood would not be much better, so I never asked.

I see that the time is about to leave, and everyone is hungry and thirsty, so let everyone find a flat place to rest, eat some dry food to satisfy their hunger, and then continue their journey.

As soon as we found a place to sit down, the beggar smiled and asked Uncle Wu, "Shall we rush there to stay today?"

Uncle Wu said with a smile: "You kid still want to rest, just prepare to wear the stars and the moon, and the sky is the quilt and the earth is the bed!" ”

When the beggar heard this, he immediately shuddered involuntarily and walked away.

I asked, "Uncle Wu, are you really going to sleep in the wild or are you joking with us?" There is no market town or village nearby, so let's have a sheltered house! ”

Uncle Wu said with a smile: "Tiancheng, you don't know if you go out less, the road we are taking now is sparsely populated around, and there are no villages and towns, but the only advantage is that the distance is short, and there are few bandits and robbers in the middle, so it is the best choice for merchants to sell goods!" ”

I frowned and said, "Are you really going to sleep in the wilderness?"

Uncle Wu nodded solemnly.

Then he said to me: "Tiancheng, you don't have to worry, it's early summer, and the weather is also very good, so I'm not afraid of starving in the winter." Besides, we have prepared for a long time, and the tent has all kinds of dry food, and it won't be bad! ”

I smiled embarrassedly at Uncle Wu. My father used to tell me that when they used to go to the Northeast to sell goods, the heavy snow closed the mountains for several months, and finally there was no food and drink, no house, no tent, and they could only make a hole in the snowdrift more than one person high, and people slept there at night, and they felt chills in their hearts when they thought about it! I never left home since I was a child, and at night I thought of my hot bedding and warm wooden bed, and I felt like I was so useless when I thought about it.

I saw that Uncle Wu had lost the silence before, so I took the opportunity to ask: "Uncle Wu, how did you meet that Guo Da master?"

When Uncle Wu saw that I finally asked, he almost couldn't help laughing.

Uncle Wu said: "If you don't ask, it won't look like you!" I smiled silly.

Uncle Wu reluctantly withdrew his smile and sighed and said, "The relationship between me and that Guo Qinghui is really unclear and unclear!"

I was a little surprised by the relationship that Uncle Wu said, what kind of unclear relationship is there between two men, either it is a friend of life and death, or a fox friend and a dog friend, or a natural enemy of life and death, nothing more than these kinds of relationships.

Uncle Wu saw my surprise and said with a smile: "Don't worry, listen to me slowly!"

Guo Qinghui and I grew up together in the same village, when we were young, we had a very good relationship, no matter what happened, we were together, in the eyes of the people in the village, we were brothers closer than brothers! Maybe you think that we are so good, it must be that we have hobbies and hobbies, and we have a common language in all aspects, right? Not really! Our two hobbies, interests and life ideals are completely and completely different, and they can be said to be opposites.

Guo Qinghui has grown tall since he was a child, with strong muscles and bones, he is a good material for natural martial arts, and he is good at martial arts from the heart, thinking that now the court officialdom is dark, and the people are not living, only joining the army to serve the country is the way out, and he is a competitive person. As for me, since I was a child, I was weak and bone-ty, and I couldn't get used to fighting and killing all day long, and I preferred the literati life of liking, chess, calligraphy and painting, drinking and chanting poetry, and having a small family with a group of children is the direction of life.

When I was young, I didn't have a heart or lungs, so I often played together, and as I grew up, I had less and less time together due to different personalities and ambitions.

Moreover, what broke our brother was that we fell in love with a girl at the same time. The girl's name is Tian Ping, she is a scholarly lady in the same village, Tian Ping often played with us when she was a child, and when she grew up, she had secrets, and she had very little time together.

But the three of us still have feelings for each other, and Guo Qinghui and I gradually confessed our hearts, Tian Ping saw that we were sincere, and we were in a dilemma, and we had no idea for a while. At last the girl's family took a fancy to me, so they married her, and on the night of the marriage, I was so drunk that I slept until dawn, and the cave was empty, and only a letter was left on the table in front of me. In the letter, Tian Ping said that Guo Qinghui and I made her very embarrassed, and her parents' words could not be disobeyed, but deep down she liked Guo Qinghui a little more, so she and Guo Qinghui decided to run away when we spent candles in the cave room!

I was so angry when I saw this letter that I swore that I would find this group of ungrateful men and women!

But the world is so big, the sea of people is vast, three years have passed, I have searched all over the place and there is still no news, the original blood and hatred have slowly faded, only the faint pain in the depths of my heart remains!

In desperation, I left and wandered sadly, and finally met your father by chance and has been following you ever since.

More than ten years ago, once I went to Henan to carry goods, was besieged by a group of bandits, my life was on the verge of death, the goods were not guaranteed, at this time a general with the official army defeated the bandits and rescued me!

And this general is my little Guo Qinghui back then, the moment we met, all kinds of thoughts poured out together, and there was nothing to say for a while.

The trace of hatred in my heart was also aroused instantly, and I picked up the knife and slashed at Guo Qinghui, Guo Qinghui stood still and didn't move, his eyes were closed, obviously waiting for death. Seeing the talisman around his neck that we had begged for when we were children, I couldn't get it down for a while.

My knife somehow slipped to the ground, and I didn't say a word for a long time! Later, when I asked him where Tian Ping was now, Guo Qinghui lowered his head and said that Tian Ping had been dead for more than ten years......

For half a year after Tian Ping and him escaped, they lived in fear every day, and they were always depressed every day, and finally died of depression in less than a year!

Before dying, Tian Ping told him that the person she was most sorry for in her life was Wu Zhiyuan, who had visited the church and became a relative but did not be a husband and wife for a day, I thought that I would be very happy with the person I liked, but I didn't expect that I couldn't escape the condemnation of my conscience after all!

Then Guo Qinghui was also too sad, and went to Xinjiang to join the army in a fit of anger, and has been guarding the border in other towns.

Because of the courage and resourcefulness of the battle, he was soon promoted to a general, and soon he was transferred to Henan, and soon met me!

After saying this, both of us hugged our heads and cried, and decades of emotional entanglements all broke out in an instant, and we drank in the dark that night.

Before dawn the next day, I took my things and left, I didn't know how to wake up to face him, how to convince myself to forgive the general in front of me who was a brother, a rival in love, or an enemy, so I chose to leave, since Tian Ping has been dead for so many years, I think time will make us forget all this.

In this way, more than ten years passed, and we had no contact, until in the stands of Suide, I saw our sworn token, I was not sure that it was him, but things must be clear, in order not to affect everyone, I went alone to save people, so as to make things clear. Unexpectedly, he fell into a treacherous scheme, causing everyone to be so busy! Saying that, Uncle Wu felt a little sorry for everyone!

I gently patted Uncle Wu's shoulder and comforted Uncle Wu, who also nodded knowingly.

At this time, everyone was already full of food and drink, and the spirit was very full, Uncle Wu got up to see the sky, there was still some time, so he told everyone to quickly clean up, continue to hurry, can walk a little more, maybe there is a village or town in front of us, we can spend the night.

When everyone heard this, they quickly took their luggage, pulled the carriage and hurried on.

I'm still thinking about what Uncle Wu told me about his experience just now, I feel a lot, everyone is growing up slowly in misfortune, and then I found my own way, as for which way to go, it's often not that you want to choose to go down, fate has already been arranged, and if you go wrong, you can only waste time from the beginning, and you will eventually enter the arrangement of fate.

On this part of the road, everyone was silent, even the beggar who liked to talk the most on weekdays did not say anything, and kept riding a horse in front of the team to lead the team in a hurry.

Unconsciously, the sky had slowly darkened, and it had been twenty or thirty kilometers all the way, but I had not found any villages where I could stay overnight, and the front was also dim and I couldn't see clearly.

I asked Uncle Wu if he wanted to continue walking, and Uncle Wu also said with a blank face: "Now that night is coming, and the road conditions in front of us are not clear, there are three unwritten rules in our business: one is not to go at night, the second is not to go to the road of life, and the third is not to take the uncertain road!" ”

I smiled and said, "This rule is really interesting, isn't it just a matter of walking and delivering goods, and this is exquisite?" ”

Uncle Wu said with a serious face: "Although there are no explicit provisions for this rule, it is all accumulated by the ancestors for several generations or even dozens of generations, so it naturally makes sense." Now that it's approaching night, it seems that we are first faced with the rule of not going to the first night, since we don't know whether to go or stay now, I think it's better to decide by divination! ”

After saying that, he took out the package from behind his back, opened the package, and took out a box wrapped in yellow satin.

Uncle Wu carefully opened the brocade, an ancient box presented in front of me, it was full of some ancient characters and strange patterns, Uncle Wu carefully opened the ancient box, there were three pieces of tortoise shell lying quietly in the ancient box, looking at the material and style of the tortoise shell, it should be a very long time.

A piece of tortoise shell is engraved with hieroglyphs, one is engraved with 28 constellations, and one is engraved with the 64 hexagrams of Fuxi. Uncle Wu lifted the ancient box to the top of his head, silently read something, and then gently shook it three times, looking at Uncle Wu's appearance, he was extremely devout to this ancient box.

After a while, Uncle Wu slowly opened the ancient box, and the three tortoise shells inside had already been out of order, and the tortoise shells that were full of words and patterns just now were now dim, but there were three patterns that were slightly shining. I was amazed to see all this, and although I believed that there was a truth in asking for divination, I could not express my surprise for a moment when I saw such a scene with my own eyes.

Uncle Wu put away the ancient box, saw that I was still staring at the box, and said to me with a smile: "Actually, this is not surprising, just to give yourself psychological comfort!" ”

I relieved myself and said, "Uncle Wu, this thing of yours is not a mortal thing, it must be a rare thing in the world!" ”

Uncle Wu smiled and said: "Your kid's eyesight is not bad, but this thing is not a modern thing, I accidentally found it when I went out to receive the goods, and I bought it at a very high price, and now I am just using it for entertainment, the mystery is too deep, I can't understand it for many years!" ”

I hurriedly asked, "What do you mean by the tortoiseshell's instructions just now?" ”

Wu Shule laughed and said, "Didn't you see it just now, and you asked me?" You understand more than I do! ”

Yes, just now I did see a woman's hieroglyphs, the ghost of the Southern Vermilion Bird Seven Houses, and the Tianfeng Hexagram: Shangqian Xiaxun. But what does this mean, I don't know why for a while I fell into a deep confusion.

Uncle Wu saw that I was pondering for a long time, and came over to me and said, "You don't have to force things in the world, just let it be!" ”

It dawned on me that Uncle Wu said the same, if I am entangled in these things, I am afraid that we will really have to sleep in the wild tonight, and the brothers are waiting on the side, looking at the time when it is dark, and then go a little ahead, anyway, the current place is definitely not suitable for spending the night in high mountains and dense forests, so I told my brothers to continue walking.

We hurried along the main road, and at some point the fog arose, and it was hazy for a few meters ahead, and I was also on horseback, and I walked ahead quickly, hoping to find a suitable place to spend the night at the last moment. After about half a column of incense, I found that there was a high platform not far from the roadside, and the surrounding terrain was flat, and there were a few broken walls that could barely block the wind, but it was a good place to rest at night.

I had the idea of riding back to the convoy at once, and after walking for a while, I met the convoy that was hurrying in, and I told Uncle Wu about the situation, and Uncle Wu thought it was more suitable, so he followed me to the place where the high platform was.

But we walked for about a stick of incense and didn't find that place, I just walked half a pillar of incense time, thinking that the convoy was too crowded and the goods were slow to go again, so I didn't think much about it, and sure enough, I didn't go out of a hundred meters away and vaguely saw the high platform.

The guys put the goods in the convoy, quickly set up tents, lit a bonfire, and cooked on the fire, Uncle Wu looked at the surrounding places, and said with a little doubt: "I have walked this road dozens of times, how come I have never seen such a place?" ”

I said, "Maybe it's new, right?" ”

Uncle Wu looked at this thing and said suspiciously: "Look at this place, where are the traces of new construction, it feels a bit old!" ”

I laughed and said, "Uncle Wu, don't think about it too much, let's stay here for one night, leave early tomorrow morning, and arrange two more brothers to keep vigil at night, and there won't be any bandits and robbers in this barren mountain and wilderness, right?" ”

Uncle Wu was impatient, and there was only so much for now, so he went to cook with the guys. I walked around this high platform when I had nothing to do, but the architectural pattern and geographical location of this high platform were very special, very unlike modern things. At this time, the meal was ready, Uncle Wu beckoned me to come over, I didn't think much about it, after the past, I found that everyone had prepared quite a lot in this barren mountain and wild mountains, there was meat and soup, drinking hot broth, eating hot noodles, this place is really delicious.

Everyone ate a big pot in one go, and all of them were full and hiccuped, and the beggar was picking up the shredded meat between his teeth on the side, and muttered to himself: "The moon and stars are rare, there is meat and rice, this kind of life is more leisurely than the gods...... Everyone laughed when they heard it.

After the meal, I chatted with everyone for a while, but we were all tired, and the brothers who had left the vigil went back to their tents to sleep.

I discussed with Uncle Wu that the brothers should not keep vigil if they worked hard all the way, and the beggars would keep vigil on the eve of the night, and I would come to the vigil after the night, and everyone else would go to sleep. Uncle Wu originally disagreed, saying that how could I do such a thing of standing guard, saying that there were so many people that I would not be allowed to come to the vigil and so on, I had to say it to persuade Uncle Wu.

After all, I and the beggar are two young people, and it is not a big deal if we don't sleep for one or two nights, the brothers have to drive very hard during the day, and Uncle Wu is old, so we can't talk about this kind of thing if we don't do it, besides, the beggar and I are both idlers, and we didn't help much along the way, so naturally we have to do something meaningful to the caravan, right? The beggar also readily agreed, and after we made up our mind, we all went to sleep in the tent, and I quickly went into the tent to sleep for a while, and then got better and changed to the beggar.

As soon as I lay down, my mind was full of thoughts, and before I knew it, I was already asleep.

I don't know how long I slept, but I suddenly remembered that I was going to change guards with the beggar, and immediately turned over and got out of the tent, and there was silence all around, and the beggar had already fallen asleep on the stone next to him. Seeing this, I was so angry with the beggar that I decided to educate and criticize him for his dereliction of duty early tomorrow morning, so I helped the beggar back to the tent, and I began to keep vigil myself.

After a while, I couldn't sit still, so I added some wood to the campfire and used it myself to ward off the cold. After a while, I felt anxious, I drank too much soup last night, this will be good, so I have to walk not far away to make it easier.

The moment I turned my head, I froze in place.
