Chapter Ninety-Eight: Old Stories
See you in the Enshi arm box
There is a cause for the past
"This ...... Could this be the white-clothed god ear that Hu Wan heard? Zhang Chengyong looked at the pair of shining white fungus in the wooden box and exclaimed in surprise.
"What? Could it be that even Hu Wan can't ...... hear it" I also said in surprise: "It is often said in the rivers and lakes that the eyes are not separated from the ears, and Hu is not separated from the sun, and this Hu Wan is the best friend in the life of Sun Wanting." I was thinking that this grandson was inexplicably gouged out of his jade eyes, how could Hu Wan sit idly by, but it seems that this time, even Hu Wan couldn't escape this catastrophe if he had nothing to hide. ”
"Yes! According to legend, this Sun Bu and Hu Wan Ting are brothers from the same door, and the good relationship has always been Jiao Bu Meng, Meng Bu Jiao! Zhang Chengyong sighed as he spoke, poured a glass of water on the side, took a sip, and then said: "However, these two people have withdrawn from the rivers and lakes since they poured a big bucket on the ground more than 20 years ago. Now it's long since I can't ask about the things in the eight doors! But why do these people suddenly get into trouble with them? Could it be that Hu Wan, who had nothing to hide, heard something that he shouldn't have heard, and was silenced by those people? ”
"Perhaps, they are because of the ...... more than twenty years ago"
I was only halfway through my sentence when there was a gentle knock on the door three more times.
This time, there was a boxy box outside the door, but two large, long rosewood boxes.
"What's in it this time?" Although Zhang Chengyong was asking, he opened the two rosewood boxes in his hands at a very fast speed.
I saw that this time the box contained neither a head, nor eyes and ears, but a hand and a leg.
A left hand made of pure iron, and a right leg made of pure gold.
"Golden-footed Lee?" Zhang Chengyong looked at the hands and feet in the box and said in surprise.
"Looks like he's right!" Although my mouth was talking about the golden feet, my eyes were always fixed on the black iron hand.
"Do you recognize this hand?" Zhang Chengyong had obviously noticed the change in my eyes on the side, so he asked softly.
"Hmm!" I didn't speak, just nodded.
"This hand is ......," Zhang Chengyong asked tentatively.
"This hand belongs to my master!" I looked at this hand and said word by word: "My master's surname is Duan, and people on the rivers and lakes call him Qianyi." However, his left hand was broken many years ago. ”
I paused as I spoke, and after a while I took a cigarette out of my pocket, lit one, and took two puffs before continuing: "He has been in a state of retirement since the severed hand. However, more than ten years ago, a man suddenly came to him and brought him this iron hand. ”
"Suddenly a guy came looking for him?" Zhang Chengyong looked at me in surprise and asked.
"Yes!" I nodded.
"Do you know who this person is?" Zhang Chengyong hurriedly asked.
"I don't know!" I shook my head and said, "I was a kid at the time. I just knew that it was a very tall person, and he had a very murderous aura! I just glanced at his back from afar, and I had nightmares for a week! ”
"A man with a strong murderous aura? If you're meeting him right now, would you still recognize him? Zhang Chengyong asked.
"Of course! There are some feelings that you will never forget! I said as I took a slow puff on my cigarette.
"He went to your master just to give him that hand?" Zhang Chengyong asked.
"I don't know what he came to my master for. I just knew that he and my master had been in the room for three days and three nights. And three days later, the man suddenly left in the middle of the night, and then, somehow, my master announced his return in the name of iron. However, it didn't take long for us to be counted into the game. ”
"What did they say in the past three days, and none of you heard them?" Zhang Chengyong asked as he stared at me with wide eyes.
"Nope!" I said, shaking my head.
"Don't you wonder what they said? Didn't you take advantage of the time of serving tea and pouring water, delivering food and water, and eavesdropping on two sentences? Zhang Chengyong stretched out his hand to me and asked me for a cigarette, lit it, and asked while smoking.
"There is no such opportunity!" I sighed and said, "Because my master does not live with us, he lives in an independent courtyard, and during these three days, he only let us leave food and water outside the door of the courtyard, and did not allow us to enter his courtyard, so as to prevent us from eavesdropping on the two of them." ”
"You didn't even go into the courtyard to listen once?" Zhang Chengyong asked curiously.
"Not once, of course!" I said with a smile. "One time I couldn't hold back and went into the yard to hear what they had to say."
"What did you hear?" Zhang Chengyong hurriedly asked.
"I just heard five words, and then I was discovered." I said helplessly.
"Five words? Those five words? Zhang Chengyong asked.
"The five words I heard were, twenty-five years ago." I said lightly.
"Twenty-five years ago? Twenty-five fucking years ago again. What was released in the lower eight gates twenty-five years ago? Why do the people and things we come into contact with lately seem to have something to do with 25 years ago? Zhang Chengyong said with a sigh of tooth.
"I don't know, but there's one thing I'm sure of!" I said with a frown.
"What's the matter?" Zhang Chengyong hurriedly asked.
"If I'm not mistaken, it's that all five of them were injured twenty-five years ago." I looked at the rosewood box on the ground, and after a while, I continued: "According to what Sun Bujian and Hu Wan heard, the eyes and ears of the two of them were injured in an ancient tomb in the twenty-fifth year, and if what they said was correct, then the other three people also went down to the ground with them at that time. ”
"According to what you say, the five of them went to fight together at the time, but I didn't expect them to all fold in that ancient tomb." Zhang Chengyong said with a frown.
"It's not just five of me! It should be six! I said coldly.
"You mean, the sixth man is the one who is going to kill them?" Zhang Chengyong asked with a frown.
"That's right!" I nodded and said, "A few of them may have brought something out of that tomb, I don't know what it is, but after all these years, the man wanted to keep it to himself, so he killed them." ”
Or maybe they tried to kill that man in that tomb, but he didn't die. Until now, did you come back for revenge? Zhang Chengyong looked at me and said.
"You have a point." I nodded and said, "We can't rule it out!" ”
"So what do we do now?" Zhang Chengyong looked at me and asked.
"I don't know! There were too few clues now, and we still had a lot of trouble on hand, so ...... "Before I could finish my sentence, suddenly there was a gentle knock on the door three more times.
"Is it the sixth man?" Zhang Chengyong looked at me, lowered his voice and asked, "Could it be that the two of us guessed wrong?" ”
"I don't know!" I shook my head and said, "Open the door and see!" ”
"Hmm!" Zhang Chengyong nodded, then slowly walked over and opened the door of the room.
Sure enough, there was no one outside the door, and sure enough, there was only a small wooden box.
This small box made of rosewood is like magic, as if it can appear outside our door at any time.
The box is not large, elegant and delicate, and from time to time it exudes a faint smell of sandalwood.
"Could it be that the sixth man is also dead?" Zhang Chengyong frowned tightly and opened the box in his hand.
And when Zhang Chengyong opened the box in his hand, he and I were both stunned.
Because, this time, there are no eyes, no ears, and of course, no human organs.
This time, it was a letter in the box.
"Letter? How is it a letter this time? Zhang Chengyong said in surprise.
"Open it and see!" With that, I reached out and took the letter out of the wooden box, then ripped open the envelope and pulled out the letter paper.
However, when I pulled out the letter paper, I was stunned for a moment, because the letter was actually written on rice paper.
Not only that, but this piece of paper obviously feels a little yellow and hard in my hand, and it seems that this letter should be some years old.
"Rice paper?" Zhang Chengyong on the side also asked in surprise.
"Hmmm! Or the tortoiseshell rice paper of Xuancheng, Anhui! I put the letter under my nose and sniffed it, and a faint aroma of orchids suddenly entered my nose, "A woman's letter?" ”
After smelling this smell, I couldn't help but blurt out.
"This is a letter from a woman?" Zhang Chengyong also asked in surprise.
I didn't answer Zhang Chengyong's words, but slowly unfolded the letter.
The letter will never be written by a woman, because a woman will never be able to write such a chic and heroic word.
I saw two lines written on the letter:
"See Jun Yunnan Nanming, Wanzhang Tibetan Puzzle. Zhibao looks forward to the brother to take, and I hope you are willing to walk! ”
There is a big Western character written on the sign.
"What does that mean?" Zhang Chengyong said with a frown. "It can't have been written by a woman! This word is definitely from a man's handwriting! ”
"Hmmm! This letter should have been written by the sixth person back then! He must have had a clue about a large tomb, and then gathered the five strongest people in the lower eight gates at that time, but ......," I said and paused, "but the person who recently put this letter in the envelope must be a woman." ”
"So what does this Western word mean? Mr. West? Could this be another trick by Divine Doctor Xue? Zhang Chengyong said hatefully: "I knew that this old boy would have to play tricks sooner or later!" ”
"It won't be him!" I said coldly.
"Why can't it be him? You just said that the person who carried this letter was a girl, and he had no hands, so didn't there happen to be a little girl next to him, couldn't she have pretended it? Zhang Chengyong scolded: "Let me tell you, he did this because he was afraid that the two of us would not care about Xiaomei, and he was afraid that the two of us would choose to protect ourselves, so he made so many tricks so that the two of us had to go to Yunnan." You see, doesn't this letter also say southern Yunnan? Yunnan, isn't it fucking Yunnan? ”
"Although what you said is not wrong, I am sure that that person will definitely not be Divine Doctor Xue!" I still said coldly.
"Why are you so sure?" Zhang Chengyong looked at me and asked in surprise.
"I'm sure it's because ......," I said mid-sentence, when everyone's voices were interrupted.
It was a woman who spoke, a woman with a nice voice.
"That's because he knew that I had to be the one who put the letter!" The woman said lightly with a smile.
