"Duoduo, what are you laughing at?!" Xia Xue pretended to be angry and asked.

"Aunt Xia Xue, do you want to stew chicken soup for Huahua Big Hen, he is a big hen, and he still drinks chicken soup, it's so funny!" Qian Duoduo still couldn't help laughing for a long time.

"Forget it, I think my uncle and his old man prefer to eat lighter things, I'll ask him ...... later," Zhou Xiaolong said to Xia Xue.

After hastily eating dinner, Zhou Xiaolong and Bai Zimo sat on the sofa and chatted for a while.

Zhou Xiaolong injected some true qi and spiritual power into Bai Zimo, and Bai Zimo was really a little more energetic.

However, Zhou Xiaolong also found that the feathers on Bai Zimo's back that had been burned out, and now more than a month has passed, but they have not grown at all, and they are still bare pink.

Zhou Xiaolong is also very worried, Bai Zimo pays so much attention to his image, such a good-looking person, his body has become like this, he has become a bald areata, how will he go out in the future?

Anyway, Zhou Xiaolong was still very worried about Bai Zimo, and he really wanted Uncle Shi to recover and recreate the demeanor of that day.

So, Zhou Xiaolong asked very seriously: "Uncle Shi, what do you want to eat recently, or rather, what is good for your body, you tell me, I will buy you ......"

"Alas," Bai Zimo sighed long, "It's pointless to eat anything now, the deity has become like this, there is no image, how can I go out to meet people in the future?" ”

Listening to Bai Zimo's tone, Zhou Xiaolong felt that Uncle Fat Bird didn't seem to have any major physical problems, but seemed to be mentally ill.

Could it be that the fat bird Bai Zimo has a mental illness, such as depression?!

Thinking of this, Zhou Xiaolong hurriedly comforted and said, "Uncle Shi, don't say that, rest well, the hair on your back will grow soon......"

Bai Zimo let out a long sigh again, "Alas, Xiaolong, don't persuade me, I know my own situation better than you, don't say it, the deity is sleepy, sleep, you just came back from a long away, go to bed early!" ”

Bai Zimo was right, Zhou Xiaolong had just come back, and he hadn't had a good rest in the past few days, and his body was really tired.

After returning to his room, Zhou Xiaolong lay on the bed, slept soundly, and slept until dawn.

……

Early the next morning, Zhou Xiaolong went out to the Department of Archaeology of Jinhai University to find Professor Cui.

Jinhai University, it was still on summer vacation, there was no one on campus, and many places locked doors to prevent students from entering.

Professor Cui lived in the teacher's dormitory building, and the uncle who guarded the door knew Zhou Xiaolong, so he was easily released.

Professor Cui was waiting for Zhou Xiaolong at home, because the two of them had already made an appointment to go to Mr. Chen Xueping's house this morning to ask what was going on.

In the taxi, Zhou Xiaolong told Professor Cui again about the ins and outs of his follow-up to the cave with Black Fox and Jin Hui, and Professor Cui also broke out in a cold sweat.

Especially after talking about the little green snakes at the bottom of the river, Professor Cui wiped his cold sweat and said: "Oh, fortunately, I didn't ask to go with you that day, if I encountered that situation, I would definitely not be able to jump off the river bank, and I guess I won't be able to come back now, so I will stay in that cave to feed the snakes......"

"Professor Cui, don't scare yourself," Zhou Xiaolong recalled those little green snakes, and his scalp was numb for a while, "However, that kind of little snake is really difficult, not to say how powerful it is, but there are too many of them, and they are also poisonous......"

"Yes, it seems that Dai Laohan said that it is called Python Mountain, maybe it is because there are many pythons, so there is such a name, it is estimated that Dai Laohan's wife and daughter also strayed into the deep mountain, fell into somewhere, and were eaten by snakes......"

When he said this, the place where Chen Xueping lived was already very close.

So, Professor Cui and Zhou Xiaolong got out of the car and walked in the direction of Chen Xueping's house according to their memory.

Zhou Xiaolong came to Chen Xueping's house once, but last time, Zhou Xiaolong came to visit late at night, so he couldn't remember it clearly.

Fortunately, Chen Xueping stood at the intersection early to greet them, and as soon as he saw Zhou Xiaolong and Professor Cui coming over, Chen Xueping happily waved his hand at them.

Professor Cui chatted with Chen Xueping, and Chen Xueping wanted to take Zhou Xiaolong and Professor Cui to his home as guests.

Professor Cui said that the weather is too hot now, so it is better to sit in the small garden at the entrance of the building for a while and chat.

It is also true that it is a little inconvenient to go to someone's house in the summer, so it is better to find a shade to sit comfortably.

So, Professor Cui and Chen Xueping found a ventilated place to sit down, Zhou Xiaolong went to buy a few bottles of water, and as soon as he came back, Professor Cui had already handed over the work card he had picked up to Chen Xueping.

Zhou Xiaolong was shocked, he didn't expect Professor Cui to be quite anxious, and he entered the topic so quickly?!

At first, when Chen Xueping took the certificate, he didn't pay much attention to it, but when he opened it, Chen Xueping was immediately stunned.

Zhou Xiaolong and Professor Cui looked at each other, and from each other's eyes and expressions, it could be completely seen that this document must be related to Chen Xueping opposite.

"You...... Where did you find this document???!!! Chen Xueping asked in a trembling voice.

"Lao Chen, just tell us, is this document yours?!" Professor Cui still asked very directly.

"Yes...... Oh, yes!!! ”

Hearing Chen Xueping say this, Professor Cui and Zhou Xiaolong hurriedly glanced at each other, and countless doubts arose in their hearts.

Professor Cui looked at Zhou Xiaolong and motioned for him to speak first.

Then, Zhou Xiaolong asked Chen Xueping: "Mr. Chen, I am from this work permit...... Found from the body of a deceased man...... If this ID card is yours, then who is the deceased?! ”

"The deceased, you mean, he ...... He's gone......" Chen Xueping's eyes began to drift, indicating that there was a lot of story in it.

Professor Cui lowered his head and thought for a moment, then asked, "Old Chen, what the hell is going on, could it be that when you were young, you also went down to that cave?!" ”

"Caves?!" Chen Xueping nodded heavily, "Do you mean that cave in the belly of Python Mountain?!" ”

"That's right!" Professor Cui nodded.

"This work permit is indeed mine, and recall, it has been almost 50 years since then...... Chen Xueping couldn't help but sigh.

So much time has passed, but Chen Xueping still remembers it very clearly, it turns out that the work card that Zhou Xiaolong picked up under the cave is indeed Mr. Chen Xueping's.

However, the truth of the matter is definitely not as terrible as Zhou Xiaolong and Professor Cui thought, that person is indeed dead, but Chen Xueping is still alive.
