I looked at the old man Shi on the other side in a little surprise, in my impression, no matter whether or not people who are in the same camp as me, every time they encounter me to ask a question, they either refuse or hide it, no one has ever been so happy as Old Man Shi.

"I have something I want to ask, but I don't know how to ask, there are so many questions." I picked up my glass, took a sip, and said, "When did you come here?" ”

"It's going to be half a year." Old man Shi thought for a while and said: "A little more than half a year, I was afraid of staying here and blinding my eyes, fortunately there are these oil lamps, I usually see a light, and I talk to myself when I am fine, but it's nothing." ”

"Who told you to come here? What did you do here? ”

"Who called me, you should be able to guess, Master."

"You know him, too?" I began to admire Lu Fangding from the bottom of my heart, Old Man Shi's broken hotel and Huayang are thousands of kilometers apart, and eight poles can't hit the place, I didn't expect that Lu Fangding would arrange for Old Man Shi to lurk on the side of the broken hotel. If it weren't for Old Man Shi himself saying it, who would have guessed that he was Lu Fangding's person?

"Acquaintance, acquaintance for a long time."

Old man Shi drank wine and said something from the past.

He and Lu Fangding are indeed old acquaintances, very early, Old Man Shi went to Huayang to make a living and met Lu Fangding. Lu Fangding's eyes are more accurate, and he feels that Old Man Shi is a reliable person, so he pulls him to his side. Old man Shi is equivalent to Lu Fangding's earliest buddy, and he made his debut with him.

After about two years, Old Man Shi caused trouble, a big disaster, that matter had little to do with Lu Fangding, it was Old Man Shi's own business. On ordinary people, when encountering such a situation, most of them will avoid suspicion and choose themselves first. This is a very troublesome matter, not only does it cost a lot of money, but it also takes a lot of risks.

Old Man Shi didn't expect anyone to help him, so he planned to resign himself to fate, but Lu Fangding not only did not flinch at this juncture, but took the risk to settle Old Man Shi.

In the end, the matter was reluctantly suppressed, but Old Man Shi couldn't stay in Huayang anymore, so Lu Fang put on other connections and asked him to go to the northwest to make a living. Old man Shi is not good at management, and he has failed several times in business, and it is Lu Fangding who has been supporting him during this period.

Anyway, the past twenty or thirty years of Old Man Shi have come over in a daze. When he got older, Old Man Shi didn't plan to toss anymore, he made a dilapidated hotel, and he ate and lived in the hotel, it didn't matter if he made money or not, he just asked for a place to live.

It can be said that Old Man Shi owes Lu Fangding a lot of favors. In fact, Old Man Shi is not stupid, he also knows that if he owes favors, he will have to pay it back sooner or later. In the past 20 years, Old Man Shi has been preparing all the time, ready to repay Lu Fangding's favor. But Lu Fangding seems to be the kind of person who doesn't want to repay his kindness, and he didn't ask Old Man Shi for anything from beginning to end.

More than half a year ago, Lu Fangding suddenly appeared in Old Man Shi's hotel. This made Old Man Shi very surprised and surprised. Because when he left Huayang, Lu Fangding was so high-spirited, but when they met again, Lu Fangding was already in the west of the mountain, and he couldn't walk the road, so he was pushed by people in a wheelchair.

Seeing each other this time, Old Man Shi finally waited for Lu Fangding to ask him to repay the favor.

"The top master asked me to come here, he said, the time will not be particularly long, as short as a year or two, or as much as three years, I can leave."

"Did he say anything, let you do something specifically?"

"Guard this abyss and watch these houses." Old man Shi turned his head to look at the exit of the path over there, and then looked at a small low house: "As long as you keep this place well, you will complete the task." The top master instructed that whoever can pass should let him pass, and if he can't pass, no one will be able to pass. ”

"You're the only one guarding here? Can it be kept? ”

"Young man, don't underestimate an old man." Old man Shi picked up his cup and glanced at me: "I'm here, who can get by?" ”

At this moment, a sharp gaze appeared in Old Man Shi's eyes, which made me shiver involuntarily. This old man with a rickety waist is obviously not an idle person, and this sharp gaze seems to be able to kill.

"When you came, these little houses were already there?"

"Yes, I'm just going to keep these houses. Those bones in the house will be useful in the future. ”

"What's the use?"

I think there must be a reason why these bones are stored here.

"The top master didn't say it, he just said that these bones will be useful in the future, let me take a good look at it."

It's no wonder that Old Man Shi is so happy, it turns out that he doesn't know much, and it's not a taboo thing, so he will answer my question so generously.

However, I guess that Old Man Shi didn't lie, he has been alone in the northwest for so many years, and he didn't participate in Lu Fangding's operation, and now Lu Fangding really has no reliable people to use, so he recruited Old Man Shi.

Thinking about Old Man Shi's words carefully, and then contacting the actual situation, I suddenly felt that what Old Man Shi said was quite meaningful. The corpses are rotten and only bones remain, what can it do? The only explanation is that the consciousness of these people has not disappeared.

I have discussed with Xiao Mao before about the fact that consciousness is intangible, can dissipate immediately, or can exist for hundreds or thousands of years. It's just that the consciousness of ordinary people can't stay for a long time, as far as I know, Zhang Momo, Lao Wang, Ning Xiaomei, the three of them are completely blank in this regard.

Then, their consciousness can only be preserved under the influence of external forces. I wanted to know what external forces were influencing their consciousness, but I didn't dare. All of this was arranged by Lu Fangding, and if I took the liberty of doing it, if something went wrong, there might be a chain reaction.

After thinking about it, I can only give up. At this point, I am already very nervous, although many problems are still mired in a cloud of fog, but I believe that I am slowly approaching the core of the incident, and there must be no more problems.

I'm not going to ask anything more, the core issue of the big event, Old Man Shi definitely doesn't know.

"Is there still a lot of room ahead? How far do you have to go to get to the end? I asked, "What's going on over there, do you know what's going on over there?" ”

"I can't tell you about this, I haven't been there." Old man Shi said that since he came to this place, he has been guarding this hut and has never been far away, let alone knowing what the situation is over there.

However, Old Man Shi provided another bit of information, he was a guard here, and his usual daily needs were sent by Lu Fangding's people, and he sent a lot of things every time. In addition, Lu Fangding's people came once some time ago, and they walked towards the front with three body bags, and they went for two hours.

When these people came back, they told Old Man Shi that he should go out to breathe in the wind and see the sun, and if he stayed in this kind of place all the time, people would be depressed. Old man Shi understood that this was the other party trying to get rid of him.

Old man Shi was doing things here, completely to give Lu a face, so he didn't care so much, ran to the top of the abyss, and walked back and forth for two or three hours. He didn't know what had happened in those two or three hours.

What Old Man Shi said must have been Zhang Momo and Lao Wang after they were in danger on Renang's side, and the blind man took people and moved Zhang Momo's corpse away, and sent it directly here after moving away.

They walked to the front of the abyss with the corpses, and what was ahead of them, Old Man Shi didn't know, he never asked more about things he shouldn't ask.

"I'd like to go to the front and have a look, okay?"

"If you want to go, go for it." Old man Shi picked up the wine glass again: "Drink this cup and see you off." ”

I touched the glass with Old Man Shi and drank the wine. The meal was over, and I packed my things and left here.

Walking forward twenty or thirty meters away, I found that the road under my feet should be often passable, although the space is wide, but the road is vaguely recognizable, as long as you follow the road, it is estimated that there will be no mistakes.

I couldn't help but look back at the place where the lights were lit, where Old Man Shi was still cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, thinking about the last words he said, I was muttering in my heart.

Drink this cup and see you off......
