Poyang Battlefield Chapter 38 Uninvited Guest
Chen Fangyuan sat on the rattan chair next to his grandmother, talking and laughing with his grandmother as if he was an ordinary guest, but I didn't smile at all when I saw my grandmother.
When I ran into the house, they both looked at me at the same time, my grandmother had a solemn face, and Chen Fangyuan had a smile on her face.
I was standing at the door and was about to complain to my grandmother, when I saw Chen Fangyuan stand up.
"That grandmother, let's talk about it today, Chen will leave first, I just suggested, I hope that grandmother will consider it carefully!"
After speaking, Chen Fangyuan walked out from my side, and when he passed me, he deliberately rubbed me on the shoulder.
"Grandma, what is he doing here? What did he tell you? I tell you, he's not a good guy, don't let him fool you! I pointed to Chen Fangyuan's back and shouted excitedly.
My grandmother waved her hand at me and said, "I know who he is, I will tell you what he told me later, you clean up first, and then go into the house to help me make dinner." ”
Grandma's face was very calm when she spoke, as if nothing happened, but that person was obviously Chen Fangyuan, he came to Grandma's house at this time, how could nothing happen?
Just when I was puzzled, Huang Yueling came to the door.
"Grandma, I'm back!" Huang Yueling smiled and called out respectfully.
"Well, it's good to come back, is the road hard?" Grandma's tone was very concerned, but her expression remained unchanged.
"Fortunately, I have a big nephew to take care of me along the way, so it's not very hard."
"Well, he didn't cause any trouble this time, did you take a good look at him?"
"Hehe, grandma, you better wait and listen to him himself!"
After a few words, Huang Yueling's tone of talking to her grandmother changed back to her previous intimate appearance, she put the things in her hand into my arms, and then took my grandmother's hand and walked into the kitchen.
I put away all the things I had brought with me, washed my face by the river, and went into the kitchen.
In the kitchen, my grandmother stood by the stove and chopped and chopped, and Huang Yueling sat at the door of the stove to add firewood.
I wanted to ask my grandmother, but now that she was in front of me, I didn't know how to speak.
So many things are inextricably linked, and they all seem to be related but there is no obvious relationship, so I have no choice but to go through the things again before I speak.
The cause of everything is the Wushan Tusi of Lin Feng Farm, that is, Peng Yonglie, whom we investigated later, from Peng Yonglie, we found Peng Da Worm Keyi, these two started a big battle because of the "evil law", and finally both died tragically.
When we were investigating the Peng brothers, we accidentally found out about the involvement of Chen Youliang and Peng Shixiong, the grandfather of the Peng brothers, in the cave in the canyon of Baojing County, and by the way, we pulled out my ancestor Huang Zongman.
In the middle, there was also the soul killer Long Quan and Chen Fangyuan of the "Evil Tima Alliance".
There are so many characters in the whole thing so far, but there are a lot of doubts in it.
The first is the two things that lead us to this matter - tortoise shells and tiger bone spearheads.
The first time the tiger bone spearhead appeared was in the Tusi tomb of Lin Feng Farm, Qiu Yan found a scroll in the toast coffin, which mentioned "pass the spear to the younger brother", my understanding at the time was that Peng Yonglie passed the tiger bone spearhead to Peng Da Worm Keyi.
But now that I think about it, I feel a little preconceived, according to our understanding afterwards, this scroll was actually written by Peng Da Worm Keyi, so the "biography" in "Passing the Spear to the Younger Brother" is not very reliable, in addition, whether this spear is the tiger bone spearhead I have to put a question mark now, the Peng brothers are an era later than Chen Youliang, if what Chen Fangyuan took from the bottom of Poyang Lake is the tiger bone spearhead, then the tiger bone spearhead cannot be passed on to Peng Yonglie, and there is no such thing as passing it on to Peng Da Worm Keyi.
As for the tortoise shell, according to what my ancestor Huang Zongman said, it was he who divided the tortoise shell into nine on the Yangtze River, that is, before that, the tortoise shell was a whole piece, and it has always been in Huang Zongman's hands, so what is the use of this tortoise shell? What evil spells can be cast? And how did this tortoise shell come down, and who was the first person to engrave runes on the tortoise shell?
The second is the doubts brought about by the characters who are intentionally or unintentionally involved.
The first is Chen Fangyuan, judging from Qiu Yan's description, he had already got acquainted with Qiu Yan's father more than ten years ago, and the name of the tiger bone spearhead was also the first thing he said, in the past ten years, he has traveled south and north, I am afraid he has found a lot of tortoise shells, this time he went to Poyang Lake again, and took the thing that suppressed the gate of the ghost world from the bottom of the lake, I don't know what he wants to do.
Moreover, judging from all aspects of clues, the forces behind Chen Fangyuan have been involved in the government, which is what I am most worried about at present, not to mention that Chen Fangyuan's forces have snatched the tiger bone spearhead, it is difficult for us to take it back, and the purpose behind this force to collect tortoise shells is scary enough.
The second, Long Quan, Long Quan still reassures me in general, although I still can't figure out his details, but at present, it seems that he is much safer than Chen Fangyuan.
But there is one thing, what Long Quan told me about the world of the dead is the second thing I am most worried about, and there are many things involved: the enchantment at the bottom of Poyang Lake, the mysterious but powerful power in the darkness, the Yin soldiers that Chen Youliang wants to borrow, and my lost soul and my grandmother's strange Chinese medicine, etc., these are all questions I want to ask my grandmother.
The stove behind me kept coming from the sound of "bang-la-la" and the smell of smelling incense, and my grandmother's posture was like making a meal, and sometimes I couldn't help but ask myself why an old woman in her nineties had such good physical strength, she was even tougher than my grandmother.
"Grandma, I~~~"
I was about to ask, but my grandmother seemed to have expected it, but she still shook her hand at me, "I'll talk about something after dinner!" ”
I glanced back at Huang Yueling, and saw that she stared intently at the fire in the stove as if she hadn't heard at all.
After a short time, dinner was served, and my grandmother still waited until we were all seated before walking in with the last dish.
Huang Yueling filled two bowls of rice for me and herself, but there was nothing in my grandmother's bowl.
During the meal, my grandmother kept picking up vegetables for me and Huang Yueling while asking us what we had seen on the road, and only when she was happy did she put one or two vegetables into her mouth from time to time.
I don't know where the courage came from, so I suddenly interrupted them and asked, "Grandma, don't you eat it?" ”
Hearing my question, my grandmother and Huang Yueling were stunned at the same time, and then they both looked at me.
"I'm too old to eat much, so you can eat!"
After my grandmother finished speaking, there was a silence at the dinner table.
I looked at Huang Yueling and immediately buried my head in the rice bowl, and the sound of us desperately picking up rice immediately sounded on the dinner table.
During this time, my grandmother did not speak, and I did not dare to look at her, but I had a feeling that my grandmother had been staring at me.
Seeing that the atmosphere at the dinner table was becoming more and more solemn, I turned my heart sideways, thinking that it was my elders sitting in front of me, and it was not some kind of flood beast, what was there to be afraid of, I could ask what I wanted to ask.
Thinking about it like this, I wanted to open it, so I moved the rice bowl away from my eyes, pretended to pick up vegetables, glanced at my grandmother, and asked, "Grandma, I see that you don't eat much every day, so you drink a bowl of Chinese medicine at night, what is that medicine?" Can you still go hungry? ”
Unexpectedly, my grandmother just smiled slightly, she put a chopstick dish in my bowl, and then said lightly: "Hey, people can't leave medicine when they are old, and you will know when you reach my age." ”
At this time, Huang Yueling gave me a look on the side, probably because she was afraid that I would tell me about the medicine she had boiled for me.
This didn't start well, so it was inconvenient for me to ask more, so I refocused on the meal and ate quietly with Huang Yueling.
After dinner, it was already past six o'clock, and according to the usual rules, at this time, I either "practiced" with Huang Yueling, or listened to my grandmother explain the knowledge of Chenzhou Fu.
Because I hadn't talked much at the dinner table before, I was still a little afraid of being alone with my grandmother at this time, so after resting for a while, I went out with Huang Yueling with two large buckets of water.
But as soon as I crossed the border, my grandmother stopped me, "Zimu, if you don't practice today, you come in, I have something to tell you!" ”
I was stunned for a moment when I heard this, and Huang Yueling stuck out her tongue at me and ran away.
There's no way, my grandmother has orders, even if I don't want to, I have to go back obediently.
When I got back to the hall, I saw my grandmother sitting on the rattan chair in front of me, and she pointed to the wicker chair next to me and motioned for me to sit down.
As I passed the coffee table between the two rattan chairs, I saw a long strip wrapped in black cloth on it, which looked like a spearhead and a sword.
After I sat down, my grandmother pushed this thing in front of me and said, "This is what Chen Fangyuan brought you, you can open it and take a look at it first!" ”
I was stunned after hearing this, Chen Fangyuan? Bring me something? What will he bring me? Also, didn't my grandmother say that she didn't know Chen Fangyuan before? How do you look at this posture, they seem to be old acquaintances?
As I thought, I took apart the black cloth and opened it to see that it was indeed a very old sword, but for some reason, this sword was so corroded that it was seriously deformed except for the blade.
"What is this?" I asked curiously.
"This is what Chen Fangyuan took from the bottom of Poyang Lake, he knew that you were looking for this thing, so he asked me to bring it to you." Grandma replied.
After hearing this, I quickly picked up the sword and put it in front of my eyes to observe it carefully.
The whole body of the sword is dark and brown, and the texture is very similar to Long Quan's short sword, I speculate that this is also a bronze sword, but the hilt part of the sword is very rusty, it is estimated that it is because it is placed at the bottom of the lake all the year round, and the sword body is protected by a scabbard, and the hilt is directly exposed in the lake water to become like this.
I said in my heart that no wonder people who don't know the details think that this is a spearhead, they have corroded like this, and they are wrapped in cloth, and it really looks like a spearhead.
But in this way, the question arises, since what Chen Fangyuan took from the bottom of the lake was not the tiger bone spearhead, where did the real tiger bone spearhead go? Also, what should I say to Qiu Yan about this?
As I was thinking about it, I suddenly felt a little line on the body of the sword, and when I looked closely, I found that the part of the sword body close to the hilt was engraved with two characters, which looked like seal scripts, and some of them were worn, and I couldn't recognize them.
"Why did Chen Fangyuan give it to me? What does he want to do? ”
Grandma pondered for a moment, and then replied, "He hopes you don't look any further, this thing is even a benefit he gave you." ”
"Grandma, what did he tell you? Didn't you say you didn't know him before? How did he find you? ”
Grandma sighed, "I'll talk about this later, I want to tell you what I mean by leaving you at home today, and I also hope you don't continue to investigate." ”
