Chapter 425: The Feeling of Coming Home
After the lid of the coffin was pried open, I was completely exhausted, and just to see it clearly as soon as possible and leave quickly, I gritted my teeth and approached the gap between the lid and the coffin.
A terrible smell hit my nose and almost suffocated me. I held my breath and looked out, and then I saw a skeleton in the coffin.
This white ossified skeleton indicates that the owner of the coffin has been buried here for at least a few years, completely decomposed. I felt dizzy, not knowing if I was dazed by the smell of the coffin or if my mind was swirling.
The body in the coffin became like this, and no one could see him again. Mrs. Sun said that the owner of the coffin is Su Shiren, so I can only think so.
This is actually a more cautious speculation, Su Shiren's situation at that time was quite bad, not only did the face curse on his back completely attack, but also passed on the dark wizard's voodoo for Zhang Momo and Ning Kitten, and his death was reasonable.
I was probably so exhausted that I couldn't even walk a step, so I barely managed to climb up from the pit and lay straight down on the ground.
In my heart, there is still a feeling of overturning the five-flavor bottle. Su Shiren is very strong, whether it is spiritual consciousness or kung fu, he is a master. He killed many people, and even Bandactado regarded him as the strongest and deadliest enemy.
But even so, what can be done? He still can't survive the time, and after his life comes to an end, all he can leave behind is this pile of white bones. Maybe in a few years, this pile of white bones will also turn to dust.
Not only Su Shiren will be like this, all people, no matter how beautiful they were in life, after death, they can't escape this fate.
Perhaps it was because of this that my fear of death was alleviated a lot. I had already accepted my current fate, and when I really knew that life and death were actually like this, all the worries that existed in my heart disappeared.
I stood up, backfilled all the earth I had dug up, and quickly left the place before dawn. I no longer try to find clues to confirm whether the person in the coffin is Su Shiren, I don't think it's necessary.
After dawn, I had already arrived at the small thatched hut halfway up the mountain, where Mrs. Sun and Grandma Wu had boiled a little porridge together and were having breakfast.
"Baby, where are you going?"
"Go where you need to go." My mood seemed to have calmed down, although I was very annoyed that I was separated from Zhang Momo, but Su Shiren seemed to have taught me a silent lesson after dying for so long.
He let me know what a person's final destination is like.
Grandma Wu is silent, we have dealt with each other a few times before, my character, she probably understands. She knew that no amount of persuasion would be useless, so she looked up and looked at me for a moment. His eyes were full of hope and blessings.
She must have genuinely hoped that I would get better.
When this matter is over, Grandma Wu and Mrs. Sun will go their separate ways. I also got up to leave, and Grandma Wu wanted to give me a ride, but I politely refused.
I just want to walk quietly by myself, so that no one knows where I'm from or where I'm going.
I went back to the little cave, and although I had a clear idea of the current situation, I still looked around before I went into the cave, and I still longed to see my lost friend in some corner.
I set out from the small cave, and after losing consciousness, I returned to the back of the gate. The passage of time is silent, and no one can detect the clues, but when I stand behind the door of the gate, ready to drill out of the gate, my premonition is very clear and strong, and I feel that the space of the gate may have really changed somewhat.
It stands to reason that when I enter through this gate, and when I come out of this gate, the time and space outside should still be the time and space before I set off, but at this moment, I obviously feel that the time and space have passed, and this is definitely not the time and space when I set off with the four of them with Bandacsad.
Now, when will it be?
I walked out of the gate, and then followed the path between the gates, to the edge of the space. I don't walk fast, so I can try to keep my energy at a constant speed and keep walking for a longer time. So, the process wasted almost two hours. Two hours later, I was close to the edge of the gate space.
I saw a flash of fire, which was created when fuel such as wood was burned. My heart beat violently all of a sudden, because the location where the fire burned was the position where Grandma Wu had been taking care of Zhang Momo and the three of them before. Grandma Wu used to light a fire to boil water there, and the light of that fire was, in a sense, a signal to go home. As long as I see the fire, it proves that I have returned to my own world, that time and space.
I quickened my pace until I was in front of the firelight. As the distance got closer, I saw a man sitting by the small campfire. What's more, by the light of the fire, I saw the big, big bag. Zhang Momo and the three of them have been sleeping in the bag all the time.
The fat man sat silently smoking, he clearly heard my footsteps, but did not look back, until I walked behind him, he took the dry tobacco pouch in his mouth, and said without looking back: "You are back." ”
"I'm back." I saw Lao Shi's back and made out his voice. At this time, I was indeed a little excited in my heart, I was not very familiar with Lao Shi, and I didn't have much contact, but when I saw Lao Shi, I actually told myself that I was finally going home.
"Sit down and have a glass of water."
Lao Shi poured me a cup of hot water, and when I saw his face, I felt that he was in a bad condition. According to Grandma Wu's account to me, Lao Shi took her place and sent her away. And now, it may be that Lao Shi has just taken over.
He had a fight with Su Shiren, he was seriously injured, and he refused to leave here and go back to the mainland for treatment, so he dragged it hard, and the longer it dragged on, the worse the situation became. There was not a trace of blood on Lao Shi's face, and after he put down the dry tobacco pouch, he began to cough violently.
He coughed so badly that he was so red and thick in neck that he could barely breathe, and I was worried that he would cough up his lungs.
After a long while, Lao Shi finally breathed a sigh of relief. I didn't drink any water, and as my eyes moved, I looked at the big bag.
"They're still inside, and they've not woken up." As soon as Lao Shi looked at my gaze, he knew what was in my heart.
I walked over to the big bag and gently lifted a corner. I saw the three of them, lying in them as quietly as I had left the last time. With the protection of the big bag, the three of them will not be affected by the outside world, they are still sleeping, and there is still a very faint halo slowly suspended on everyone's forehead.
"Lao Shi, did you let Grandma Wu go?"
"She shouldn't have gone." Lao Shi didn't look sloppy, and simply admitted it: "I just think it's okay, she stays, in fact, there is nothing important, I can do what she should do." In that case, why tie her up here? ”
Lao Shi seems to be quite talkative now, and he says a lot of things that he hasn't said to me before. He told me that for a while, no one came here again, and occasionally, Grandma Wu would come to him to carry some firewood. The two of them chatted to pass the time, Grandma Wu was very worried about her family, in order to pay off Lu Fangding's favor, she arrived here alone, and she was still homesick in her heart.
"I'm different from her, I'm alone, and the whole family is not hungry when I'm fed alone." Lao Shi was very stubborn, he had already coughed like this, but he still refused to drop the dry tobacco pouch in his hand, and said while filling the cigarettes: "I'll let her go, come, take two puffs." ”
Lao Shi handed me the cigarette pouch with the cigarette, I took it, and lit it on the bonfire, I can't remember how long I hadn't smoked, and when I took a sip, my whole lung seemed to be clenched tightly by a hand.
"Lao Shi ......" I felt that the dry smoke was too rushing, I couldn't stand it, coughed coughing, returned the tobacco pouch to Lao Shi, and asked: "It's not easy for me to come back, is there anything to say?" ”
"Yes." Lao Shi nodded happily, took the dry tobacco pouch, looked at the bonfire, looked at me again, and said, "The top master is dead, and I didn't leave, I just want to repay his kindness." He was very pitiful, he had been busy all his life, and when he was at the end of his life, he couldn't even find anyone around him who could be trusted, so he called me over. I owe the top master love, I don't want anything else, after I finish what he explained, I will go underground in the future, and when I see the top master, I can tell him a word, and I am worthy of him. ”
Today's Lao Shi seems to be a little verbose, I know a little bit about the things between him and Lu Fangding, but I don't know in detail. Lao Shi smoked a cigarette and talked about all the help and favors that Lu Fangding had given him over the years.
At first, I thought that this was Lao Shi who had been idle here for too long and wanted to talk to me, but as I listened, I suddenly felt that he seemed to be trying his best to explain to me what kind of person Lu Fangding was.
"Master Ding, this person may not be what you think." After Lao Shi finished speaking, he raised his eyelids and said, "I don't want others to die and be misunderstood by others." ”
"I'm not mistaken." I know what Lao Shi is talking about, he feels that I have always had a prejudice against Lu Fangding, although during the period when Lu Fangding was dying, I no longer regarded him as an enemy, but the concept in my heart is not easy to change.
"You're not mistaken, that's good." Lao Shi took out a small bag wrapped in three layers of tin foil from his personal place, and said, "This is what the top master handed over to me, and today, it's finally time to use it." ”
