After listening to Chen Fangyuan's words, Qiu Yan and I couldn't speak for a long time, for me, Chen Fangyuan's words may just be surprise again and again, but for Qiu Yan, it may be despair again and again.

Chen Fangyuan said that he should be able to find a way to solve the curse, that is to say, he is not sure that there is a way to solve the curse, if we believe him, then the hope of the Qiu family will once again be pinned on Chen Fangyuan's words, but Chen Fangyuan is the person who has deceived the Qiu family for more than ten years.

But can we not believe him? I couldn't find a loophole in his words before and after, and the word tiger bone spearhead was no longer known except for the old man he and Qiu Shanyue met in Xiangxi, and all the evidence showed that the tiger bone spearhead was just a trace of the Qiu family's obsession.

Qiu Yan looked ahead with dull eyes, there was no color in her eyes, she sat cross-legged on the ground in a daze, not moving.

I tried to comfort her, but I didn't dare touch her, she was like a fragile glass statue, shattering at the touch of a moment.

"Ah~~Ah~~" I cleared my dry throat, "Old man Chen, we know what you are doing, so don't think that if you say a word that can help us, we will be in the same boat with you, and even if I agree to join you, my grandmother will not agree, didn't you say that your well water does not violate the river water, and how should you explain to her when the time comes?" ”

Chen Fangyuan immediately waved his hand and said to me again and again: "No, no, no, He boy, Young Master He, joining us does not necessarily mean that you have to participate in our activities, as long as you don't stand in our way, don't investigate the tortoise shell, even if you cooperate with us, and then we will tell you what we know, keep communicating with each other, and synthesize our respective knowledge to help Miss Qiu find a way to solve the curse, I believe that Grandma will not stop you." ”

I smiled incredulously and said, "You mean that I sit at home obediently, even if I cooperate with you?" ”

Chen Fangyuan spread his hands and said with a smile: "It's like if I asked my grandmother to bring it to you, right!" ”

Things are more and more unexpected to me, Chen Fangyuan tried his best, tried his lips hard, and went around in such a big circle, just to let me stay at home!

This could have been solved with a phone call, but he told me in such an extreme way.

I thought I had seen through the old man, especially after the conversation, but now I realized that I had no idea what they were trying to do, and that the old man was far more cunning than I had imagined.

Looking at the three old people in front of me, I suddenly had a feeling that I was too young, I could feel that they were not fooling around, all their actions had a purpose, all their actions were carefully planned, and Qiu Yan and I were just two small chess pieces in their plan.

It's useless to say more, I just want to get out of this place quickly and sort myself out for now.

"So, as long as I promise you, we can leave right away?" I asked.

"Haha, Young Master He, who do you think we are? We're not street gangsters, we're not gangsters, and you can leave at any time if you don't say anything, but I'm sure you'll agree to me when you figure it out. ”

I helped Qiu Yan up, and then said to Chen Fangyuan, "Then we won't stay longer." ”

After speaking, I helped Qiu Yan to walk downstairs.

After walking to the door, Chen Fangyuan suddenly stood at the top of the staircase and said to me, "Keep in touch!" ”

Afterwards, Chen Fangyuan arranged for someone to take us down the mountain.

Although it was still late at night and it was extremely cold, I still impatiently walked out of the house, and the old man in this room made me feel that this house was a tomb that swallowed people, and from this room came a dangerous, rotten, but mysterious and alluring atmosphere.

The car took me and Qiu Yan down the mountain quickly, along the way, under the illumination of the headlights, I found that this was completely different from the road we came up, the rut marks on this road were clearly visible, and the scene on both sides of the road was not as desolate as when it came, I guessed early in the morning that Chen Fangyuan had used a blinding method, but I didn't expect his blinding method to expand to such a large area.

Qiu Yan was demented like a fool all the way, and she didn't speak, she went wherever I helped her go, and after finding our car, I helped her get into the car, and then after the car arranged by Chen Fangyuan drove away, I asked Qiu Yan, "Are you okay?" ”

Qiu Yan turned her head to look at me, her eyes full of helplessness and fear.

"Qiu Yan, things are not as bad as you think, on the contrary, I think things are starting to get better!"

"Get better? I used to just think that Chen Fangyuan and they had just deceived us for more than ten years, but today I learned that they have been lying to our family for hundreds of years. Qiu Yan almost burst into tears.

"No, Qiu Yan, you are now and depressed, I know, so what you are thinking now is all negative, the so-called authorities are obsessed with bystanders, I am a bystander, so I see it more clearly than you.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, the spearhead of the tiger bone? Hmph, we just rely on an inexplicable sentence in the tomb of Wushan Tusi and your ridiculous rubbing, other than that, we have no evidence to prove the existence of the tiger bone spearhead.

To be honest, I suspected it early on, but I was afraid of hitting you, so I didn't dare to say it.

Okay now, Chen Fangyuan made it clear for me, although this news is very cruel, but it is good for us, at least we don't have to go further and further down the wrong path, right?

In addition, Qiu Yan, there is one thing I didn't tell you, after I came back from Poyang Lake last time, I asked my grandmother, she said that I was sick because I lost my soul, and part of my soul remained in the world of the dead, and she also told me that there is no cure for this disease for the time being, and it can only be relieved by the Chinese medicine she boiled, but if I can't find a solution for a long time, I will die soon, so I, like you, are people waiting for the antidote. ”

Qiu Yan smiled bitterly after hearing this, "Zimu, if you want to comfort me, you don't need to make up such lies." ”

"Hehe, Qiu Yan, I also wish I made it up, but that's the case, when I learned the news, I was as desperate as you are now, but I quickly figured it out, there is no absolute incurable disease in the world, and the reason why it can't be cured is that we haven't found a way to save it, so instead of sitting there and feeling sorry for myself, it's better to cheer up and look for an antidote."

"Zimu, you're not kidding, are you?"

"Hehe, even if I wanted to joke, I wouldn't joke with my life, right?"

"So you lost your soul last time at the bottom of Poyang Lake? In other words, am I the one who made you like this? ”

I didn't expect that my words of comfort to Qiu Yan would be exchanged for Qiu Yan's idea, so I was a little panicked for a while.

"Qiu Yan, I didn't mean that, don't think so, I asked to go to Poyang Lake, it has nothing to do with you!"

"But, but you also decided to go to Poyang Lake for me!"

"Oh, Qiu Yan, now that the two of us are dying people, what's the point of you still caring about this?"

Although Qiu Yan was feeling guilty at this time, I found that she was distracted by me and was no longer as depressed as before.

"Did my grandmother say where to find the antidote?" Qiu Yan asked eagerly.

I shook my head, "She doesn't know either, so both of us need to find a way out on our own!" ”

"But~~~ But we don't have a clue at all, how can we find a way to save us?"

"So I want to tell you, I want to cooperate with Chen Fangyuan, after all, they are much more professional than us in this kind of matter, if it is really as he said, if I can learn this knowledge from them, maybe I can not only help you find the solution to the curse, but also help me find the antidote myself!"

"Working with them? But what about Long Quan? Also, these people don't look like good people, how do we know if he will lie to us again? ”

Qiu Yan's words reminded me that I hadn't taken Long Quan into account yet, if I really stood on Chen Fangyuan's side, would Long Quan treat me as an enemy?

After thinking for a while, I replied, "Hey, I can't care about it so much, we both have to live, the dragon can understand it, and if we can't understand it, let's try to hide it from him." As for whether Chen Fangyuan will lie to us, I have thought about it, probably not, if he wants to lie to us, he just needs to say that he will help you find the tiger bone spearhead, why do you have to confess to the two of us? ”

Qiu Yan also rolled her eyes and thought for a while, and suddenly she sat down on the seat of the car and said weakly: "Zimu, things are too complicated, I really can't think about it so much, now that our family industry is gone, and the tiger bone spearhead is gone, I really don't know what to do." ”

I reached over and pinched her shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't think so far, live in the moment, now what we have to do is drive back, wait for a delicious meal when we go back, then take a hot bath, sleep comfortably, everything will be said when we wake up!" ”

Qiu Yan looked at me and smiled, but there were still tears in her eyes, she nodded at me and said, "Okay, let's go back." ”

......

I didn't stop all the way, I drove the car back to the provincial capital from the village, and after returning to the provincial capital, it was already more than five o'clock in the morning, Qiu Yan and I found a breakfast shop that had just opened, ordered two large bowls of steaming beef noodles, and then ate without saying a word.

The rice noodles were hot, the soup was spicy, and even on this cold morning, I was sweating profusely.

Qiu Yan's bangs were stuck to her forehead with sweat, and her nose was dripping, and she looked embarrassed, and we looked at each other after eating, and then laughed.

The deepest sympathy in the world is not worth the same disease, at this moment Qiu Yan and I are the people who know each other best, maybe in the eyes of others, we are short-lived, worthy of pitiful people, but for ourselves, it is to obtain a secret that outsiders can never know, only between me and Qiu Yan, which makes us no longer take outsiders' views in our eyes, and also makes us have another kind of affection.

After eating rice noodles, we went back to the hotel, where I took a shower in Qiu Yan's room and then slept in her living room.

In my sleep, I seemed to return to the bottom of Poyang Lake, to the cellar on the island at the mouth of the Jingjiang River, I wanted to say something to my ancestor whom I had never met, but my consciousness gradually blurred, and finally, I lost consciousness in my dream~~~~
