Chapter Seventy-Two: Grandpa is Dead
Date: Unknown.
Location: Inside the meteorite beneath the buried lake.
Weather: Unknown.
I don't know if the red-haired monster was unintentional or intentional, it took me, Yan Xiaoying, and Lin Miao and the three of them to the center of the meteorite, where the three-life grass grows.
And to our surprise, the five living dead with ghost lanterns also came here and died.
Although they didn't see it with their own eyes, looking at their deaths, it was obvious that they were killed by the red-haired monster with their heads lifted.
The so-called living dead are not really living dead, under the effect of flower poison, they have been deceived for decades, and their lives finally end here.
It's just that...... I wonder if they came to their senses at the end of their lives?
These are all characters of the same era as their own old man and Old Lady Yan, their lives have dried up, and they have not died so dignified.
I don't know why, looking at their corpses, a faint sadness rose in my heart, and I suddenly missed my old man a little.
Since I was a child, the rules of my family have been very strict, and it is impossible to hug my elders like the post-00s now. But there is a tacit emotion associated with each other.
Whether it is a seemingly carefree old man, an old-fashioned and strict father, or a nagging mother, they can feel their care for me affectionately.
It's just that because of the relationship between the era, family background, and society, the emotions expressed in the narrative are different.
has been empty for twenty-five years, and he is no longer the lively and foolish teenager he used to be, nor does he have the pride and ambition when he first came out of society.
Although I spent less time with my family during this time at home, I could really feel their care for me, and it is only now that I can gradually understand their difficulties and the greatness of being an elder.
With the time passing by in a snap of time, it was not until I became an elder in people's mouths that I realized how difficult it was to be a qualified elder.
Facing the five decomposing corpses in front of me, I folded my hands and bowed three times seriously. In any case, they are all brothers who have shared the hardships with their old man, and as a junior, they should see their corpses.
"Sure enough, it's gone."
At this time, Yan Xiaoying and Lin Miao had already walked to the front of the stone table, looking at the hole on the table, and the two of them looked at me together.
They looked at me very strangely, and although I had been mentally prepared, I still felt incredible when I confirmed it with my own eyes at this moment.
Seeing the two of them looking at me, I couldn't help but smile wryly and explained, "I can't know what happened decades ago. ”
Then, I looked at Lin Miao again and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, I've already taken the Sansheng Grass, and my hope of letting you lift the curse is shattered." ”
Lin Miao stared at me, lost in thought, and did not answer.
"To destroy the Wireworm King in your body, you don't necessarily need Sansheng grass, right? Didn't you say that red-haired monsters feed on nematodes? Why not give it a try? Yan Xiaoying interjected on the side, looked at Lin Miao and suggested.
"I tried, it didn't work." Lin Miao shook her head.
I carefully observed his face and found that there was no anger or resentment on his face, but rather relief.
"The Gu King on Your Body ......"
"It's okay, although the Gu King has left, with many years of experience, I can still suppress the Worm King in my body, and I won't have an attack for the time being." Lin Miao seemed to know what I wanted to say, and said lightly.
"Since there is no more Sansheng Grass, there is no need for us to stay here anymore, so let's avoid long nights and dreams, let's go!" Yan Xiaoying said.
I nodded, and drove the red-haired monster to dissolve the meteorite and leave.
At this moment, there was a sudden whistling sound above our heads, and the next moment, a black shadow suddenly fell rapidly from above, falling at our feet with a loud bang.
The sudden fall from the top of our heads startled us all, and we thought it was the red-haired monster that killed the living dead.
But when we looked closely, we found that the thing that fell from the top of our heads was actually a corpse, and it happened that the fallen corpse was lying side by side with five corpses, and it seemed that there was no sense of disobedience.
What's even more incredible is that this person's clothes are actually the same era as the other five.
I looked up at the place where he had fallen, and the red light was shining down, and I saw a human-shaped hole in the top of the cave.
Obviously, this corpse was embedded in the meteorite before, but for unknown reasons, the cave continued to expand over time, and the body that was originally embedded in the meteorite fell down.
"Who the hell is this guy?"
At the beginning, there were only seven people who came in with the old man, and in the end, only the old man and the old woman Yan managed to leave this ghost place, and the bodies of the remaining five people were all here.
Who the hell is this person?
Just as I was falling into deep thought, Yan Xiaoying, who was attached to check the corpse, suddenly lost her voice and exclaimed, her voice trembled, as if she had seen something incredible.
"Nine...... Nine sections of the mountain whip...... How can it be? This person...... He turned out to be a mountain keeper too! ”
I was stunned for a moment, and then I saw her pick up an object from under the corpse, which was the identity of the mountain keeper - the nine-section mountain whip.
Perhaps because it was too long, the whip broke several knots, and only half of it was left.
"How is that possible? Who the hell is this person? ”
My heart shook and I threw myself at the corpse and flipped it over to see its face.
But unfortunately, this person has been dead for too long, and has become a wax corpse, although it has not decomposed, but its body has shrunk, its eye sockets are deep, and its face has shrunk, and it is difficult to distinguish its previous appearance.
But looking at the strange corpse in front of me, a bad premonition rose in my heart.
At this moment, I glanced at it, and suddenly saw Yan Xiaoying on the side secretly picking up something from the ground and hiding it in her sleeve.
She was very secretive, but I noticed it.
Seeing her behave like this, my heart couldn't help but sink, and I frowned and stretched out my hand to say to her, "What is it...... Show me ......."
"I didn't ...... What's ......" Yan Xiaoying hesitated.
Seeing her like this, I became even more suspicious, and said in a deep voice: "Xiaoying, you shouldn't hide it, I need to know the identity of this person." ”
Facing my gaze, Yan Xiaoying couldn't help lowering her head, and after a long time, she slowly took out an object from her sleeve and handed it to me.
"Tianyan...... Don't get excited...... Maybe ......"
I snatched the thing from Yan Xiaoying's hand, and found that what she had hidden was an old-fashioned ID card, the black and white avatar on the ID card was blurred, but the string of names next to her avatar could be seen clearly.
Name: Lao Daobo
Gender: MaleEthnicity: Han
Born: July 13, 1939
"How is that possible?"
When I saw the name on my ID card, my whole body was like a lightning strike, and my whole head went blank.
The person who died with a mountain whip turned out to be his grandfather, and looking at this corpse, he had been dead for at least a few decades.
I couldn't believe my eyes, so I lifted my clothes to wipe the stains off my ID card, and when I looked again, I found that the name on it still hadn't changed.
My whole breathing suddenly became rapid, and I almost fainted.
This person is really my grandfather, but if this corpse is really an old man, then who is the person who borrowed my life before and grew up with me?
Could it be that Grandpa actually died here decades ago and didn't leave alive?
What the hell is going on?
"Tianyan...... Tianyan ...... Don't get excited, maybe this person just has the same name as your grandfather? Yan Xiaoying stretched out her hand and pressed it on my back, relieved me, and said worriedly.
"Impossible...... If there was someone in the world with the same name as my grandfather, he wouldn't have come here by such a coincidence, right? Besides, he ...... There are also nine sections of mountain whipping......"
"No wonder...... No wonder...... I've never seen an old man use a nine-section whip......," I muttered.
I covered my head, I didn't know what to do for a while, and I didn't know what words to describe my mood at the moment.
Anxiety...... Indissoluble...... Wrath...... Sadness......
Somehow, tears rolled down his cheeks and dripped onto the corpse beneath him.
I've never been a person who sheds tears easily, because I think people who shed tears easily are very cowardly, and I don't want to be a coward.
At least in front of people, I don't want to shed tears.
But at this moment, I couldn't help but burst into tears.
For a while, I had pictures of getting along with the old man when I was a child......
I don't know what it was like, but it was more uncomfortable and intense than when I knew from my mother that I had been born with my life!
Unable to sit on the ground, my whole body seemed to have lost all my strength!
The old man was dead, decades ago, and he hadn't been out since he came in......
But who is the person who accompanies you? The ghost of the old man?
Impossible, he has flesh and bones, and shadows, how can he be a ghost?
I don't know how long it took, Lin Miao, who had been standing silently next to him, suddenly spoke, he frowned and said coldly: "Strange, as far as I know, there were indeed seven people when they came in here, and there were two of them when they left...... This corpse he ......"
Lin Miao's words woke me up like thunder, I wiped the tears from my face, gritted my teeth and said, "That's not right! This man is not my grandfather! ”
"Tianyan, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me! ”
"I'm fine!"
I looked at Yan Xiaoying, handed her the ID card in my hand and said in a deep voice: "As far as I know, grandpa, they should have come here around fifty years, but there was no such thing as an ID card at that time. I don't remember the exact time when ID cards were really popular, but he would never have come here with his ID card at that time, and this person could never have been my grandfather! ”
Yan Xiaoying was stunned for a moment, opened her mouth wide for a long time before she came back to her senses, took the ID card from my hand, frowned, and said, "But this ID card is real, could it be that this corpse was forged later?" But the time of his death ......"
She turned over the corpse and found that the whole corpse was as soft as mud and had not turned into a zombie, and the whole person was shocked again, and quickly checked the joints of the corpse's hands and feet.
"How is that possible? Person...... He was actually beaten to death by a bone crusher! ”
In other words, it was the young Granny Yan who killed this person in the first place, because she was the only one who could break the bone palm.
"I don't understand, who faked the news of your grandfather's death and knew that we would be in such a place?" Yan Xiaoying said, looking up at Lin Miao, who was silent.
"It's not me, except for the first time, it's the second time I've entered here!" Lin Miao said expressionlessly.
"That's not right!"
Then I suddenly noticed that the corpse had a brown jade ring on its finger, and my grandmother used to have one. Although she had died when I was born, my dad had told me that the brown jade ring was a token of love between my grandfather and grandmother, one for each of them.
I've seen that jade ring from my grandmother, and it was hidden by my parents, and I turned it out once when I was a child. But grandpa's jade ring, I've never seen him wear it......
And as far as I can remember, he never said a word about grandma in front of us......
