The past is unbearable

Antecedents and consequences are right and wrong

The wind was blowing slowly from the side of the street.

The Chinese woman who walked out of the basement wrapped her black coat, she reached out and took out a pack of cigarettes from her pocket, took one out of it and put it in her mouth, but she thought about it but didn't light it, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but smile, and put the cigarette back.

She raised her head and let out a long breath, and at this time, a Chinese man had slowly walked up to her side.

"How? Is everything going well? The man asked.

"Hmm!" The woman nodded, and said softly, "The things have been handed over to him, and I don't know if he will do what we expected." ”

"Hmm!" The man nodded, "It's not safe here, let's go back first!" ”

After the man finished speaking, he took the woman's arm and was about to cross the street, but the woman broke free of his hand and said slowly: "I don't want to go back now!" ”

"Don't want to go back?" The man was surprised.

"You go back first! I want to walk on my own! The woman turned and walked to the side of the road.

"You ......" The man wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he stopped again, he didn't say anything, he just watched the woman's back slowly leaving, and after a long time, he turned around and walked in the other direction.

The wind, the same wind, is also blowing slowly.

However, the wind in front of me was blowing from the stone gate.

It had an eerie and decaying aura that invaded every pore of my body, like an invitation from death to bring my soul to the other world behind the door.

A world of death and resentment.

I subconsciously covered my mouth and nose with my hands, trying not to let the disgusting breath wear down my will.

Ice suddenly tapped me on the shoulder behind me, and she frowned and said, "Do you have a way to open this stone door?" ”

"What is this place?" I didn't answer Ice's words directly, but looked into her eyes and asked.

"You...... You don't know? Ice was a little surprised to hear my words, "Could it be that your ancestor really didn't tell you anything?" You don't know the secrets between the City of Gold and your family? ”

"Here...... This is the entrance to the City of Gold? I looked at Ice in surprise and said, "Is this place related to my family?" ”

"It seems that fate is really interesting, each of us has our own purpose in finding this place, and you ......" Ice smiled helplessly, glanced at me, and then turned her head to look at the spell mark on the door, and did not continue.

"What the hell is going on here?" I grabbed Ice's arm and asked aloud, "Do you have something to hide from me?" ”

Ice slowly raised her head and looked at me with her eyes as bright as stars, her eyes were beautiful, but I seemed to see a lot of complicated feelings in them, some unbearable, some doubts, some pain, and even some sympathy.

"What's going on here? I didn't want to go down in such a daze, my grandfather didn't tell me anything, he just told me to come and find the twenty-four broken books, let me find the bodies of my parents and bring them back. He just said it softly, and I was somehow in such a situation that I didn't even know how it all happened......" I said loudly as I looked at Ice.

"Alright! I'm telling you! Ice looked me in the eye, and after a long time she suddenly spoke. The whole thing started in 1989. ”

…… ……

1989, April, early spring.

This year's spring arrived exceptionally late, although it was already April, but the weather in the northeast was still only five or six degrees.

At six o'clock in the morning in Shenyang, there are not many people on the streets, and occasionally a few sellers pushing the early car out of the stall shout the number of buying milk with a dilapidated horn.

A bearded man with a somewhat sloppy image rode a 26 permanent shuttle through the alley near Taiyuan Street, he rode unfast, walked and stopped, and after a few turns and found that he was not following him, he stopped in front of a US business in the center of the alley.

"When...... Dangdang...... While...... Dangdangdang ......", he knocked lightly on the door a few times regularly.

"Who?" After a while, someone inside asked vigilantly.

"It's me!" The man outside the door replied softly.

"Old cold?" The person in the room asked alertly.

"Hmm!" The people outside answered.

"Just you?" The man in the room asked.

"That's right! Open the door! The man named Lao Leng said a little impatiently.

"Wait a minute!" After the people in the room had finished speaking, there was a rattle of chains rubbing, and after a while, the rusty iron door slowly opened, revealing the face of a handsome middle-aged man.

He glanced at Lao Leng, looked around vigilantly, and after deciding that there was no one else, he said to Lao Leng: "Come in!" ”

Lao Leng didn't say anything, turned around and entered the house.

And the man poked his head out again, and after making sure that no one was following Lao Leng again, he closed the door with confidence.

After Lao Leng entered the house, he walked around the house in front of the store and walked directly to the hut at the back.

At this time, there were already three people sitting in the hut.

These three people are two men and one woman, their expressions are serious, as if they are worried about something, and when they see Lao Leng walking in, their eyes can't help but light up.

The woman was the first to ask, "How's things going?" Did you get something? ”

"Nope!" Lao Leng shook his head.

"What? Doesn't that mean it's easy? Did something go wrong? The woman asked, frowning.

"Uh-huh!" Lao Leng nodded and replied.

"What the hell ......" The woman wanted to ask something, but she was stopped by a gray-haired man who was the oldest in the next grade, probably in his fifties.

"Don't worry! Let Lao Leng sit down and drink saliva and talk slowly! The man said slowly.

"I said Lao Zhou, isn't this the time to be in a hurry?" The woman looked at the man named Lao Zhou and said.

"It's useless to be anxious now!" Lao Zhou looked at the woman and said slowly: "Old Leng, don't worry! Take a sip of water, and then talk slowly, what's going on! ”

"Hmm!" Lao Leng ignored the woman's questioning, but took the water handed over by the person who opened the door, took a few sips, and let out a long breath, then found a place to sit down, and said leisurely: "Originally, everything was going well, but just when I was about to get the last three books, a guy surnamed Xue actually took the lead and took away those ancient books!" ”

"All taken?" The woman asked.

"Nope!" Lao Leng shook his head, "He only took three copies!" ”

"So you only got twelve?" The woman asked, frowning.

"Hmm!" Lao Leng nodded.

"So what now?" The woman asked anxiously, "Could it be that the plan we have been planning for so many years has been put on hold like this?" ”

"Not necessarily!" Lao Leng said.

"What do you mean?" The woman asked.

"I heard that the person surnamed Xue was looking for that legendary box in order to use the power inside to cure his family heirloom." Lao Leng lit a cigarette as he spoke, took a puff, and continued: "He doesn't know the whereabouts of these secret scrolls in our hands yet, as far as I know, he will go to Chicago next to find a local snake named Field, and get out of his hand the three books that have been scattered overseas." As for the other three ......"

"What? Did you find out the whereabouts of the last three copies? The woman asked.

"Hmm!" Lao Leng nodded, "Actually, I didn't gain anything this time, at least I know the whereabouts of the other three books!" ”

"Where are the other three?" The woman asked hurriedly.

"In Yunnan!" Lao Leng said. "I wonder if you have the ability to go?"

"Yunnan?" Hearing Lao Leng's words, everyone couldn't help but be surprised.

After a long time, Lao Zhou let out a long sigh and said slowly: "In this case, it seems that the seven of us are going to act in two groups." Lao Leng, since you didn't get those three copies, it's best to finish the unfinished things, so let's ask about the itinerary of the person surnamed Xue, and then, you and your little sister will go to the United States! ”

Lao Zhou said and looked at the young man at the door and another very ordinary middle-aged man, and said slowly: "Xiao Liu, Lao Wu, the two of you are here waiting for the three of them to come back, and then pack up and set off for Yunnan!" ”

Lao Zhou stood up after speaking, and coughed lightly, "It's not too early, my broken tavern should also be open." I'll go first! ”

After speaking, Lao Zhou turned around and left, only the three people who were silent and speechless.

After a night of silence, early the next morning, Lao Leng and the woman set off for Chicago, USA, to find the guy named Field.

The rest of the people went to prepare some things before the trip, leaving only the young man named Xiao Liu.

After everyone left, Xiao Liu simply cleaned up the house, then walked to the inner room, sat on the edge of the bed, and took out a bag of big production and a black and white photo from his pocket.

It took him half a year to find half a box of matches from his trouser pocket, the matches were a little damp, and it took him a long time to light them, and he took two puffs of cigarette vigorously, and then let out a long breath with a satisfied expression.

Then, he slowly put the black and white photo in front of him, only to see that this photo shows a young woman holding a baby who is still in swaddling clothes, they are standing in front of an antique house, this woman is very beautiful, although her face is smiling, but, I don't know why, that smile makes people look very uncomfortable, as if it is squeezed out.
