I felt that anyone who encountered the present situation would be suspicious, but my father had no doubt in his expression, and seemed to believe my words.

Not only did he not doubt it, but he also had a kind of pity for me, feeling that I was pitiful, that I had an incurable disease.

He simply swept the grave and then helped me tie the immortal bronze with a rope. He could see that my physical strength could not keep up, so when I came down the mountain, he carried the bronze on his back alone, and let me carry the corpse of Banda Guwang.

"Aren't you going to bury his body?"

"You can't bury it, you can't do it now." I shook my head: "His corpse, still useful." ”

My father didn't ask any further questions, and followed me all the way down the mountain from the old village to the village below.

The mountain road is difficult, and by the time I got back to the village, it was already dark, and the village was full of cooking smoke. My father didn't enter the village right away, but sat down in a secluded place outside the village. This mountain road almost collapsed me and sat and gasped for breath for a long time.

When the breath was even, I took a cigarette out of my body and gave him one. The father did not refuse, took the cigarette and took a few puffs. He wasn't a man of many words, but now, as if there were a lot of things he wanted to ask me, I picked up what I could and said something to him. When it was completely dark, all the villagers had eaten. The weather is not very hot now, and there is nothing interesting in the countryside, and after eating, people basically don't go out. My father waited until the village was completely quiet before taking me to the house of a man surnamed Xu in the village.

This surnamed Xu, I have heard people in the village talk about it before, is an old blacksmith, and he is very old. As far as I can remember, the old blacksmith died two years ago. This is an ordinary blacksmith, who can only make a stir-fry pan and a kitchen knife all his life, and he has never done any complicated blacksmith work.

I knew in my heart that my father had brought me here to ask Blacksmith Xu for help. I'm not sure if Blacksmith Xu can do this well, but he's the only blacksmith in the whole village, and we have no other choice.

Father chatted with Blacksmith Xu for a while and told him about the matter. He usually has a good reputation in the village, and he has also helped others a lot, so Blacksmith Xu patted his chest and said to do his best.

Father showed the piece of immortal bronze to Blacksmith Xu, such a large thing, Blacksmith Xu must not have smelted before. The tools at home are not suitable, and this work is not very easy to do. Blacksmith Xu asked my father if he was in a hurry, and my father nodded. Blacksmith Xu was very particular, and without saying a word, he immediately got up and went to an acquaintance seventy miles away to borrow tools.

After Blacksmith Xu left, my father went outside Blacksmith Xu's house and sat down with me. He said that Blacksmith Xu would definitely not be able to come back overnight.

"You go home, I'll wait outside the village."

I slowly stood up and walked past Blacksmith Xu's house to the road outside the village. My father did not leave, but followed me silently, and the two of them walked out for at least two miles, one after the other, and I stopped and looked back at him.

"There's nothing going on at home, let's talk about it."

My father still seemed to have a lot of words, and as he chatted, he said a lot of things that bothered him. I have the impression that he rarely confides in anyone, and even when I grow up, he doesn't talk to me. He is like a black clay pot, if he doesn't want to, no one can see through what he is thinking.

We chatted, smoked, and sat until dawn. He went back to the village to get some food, and the two waited until the afternoon of the same day, when Xu Blacksmith drove a borrowed cart back to the village.

After nightfall, the work of smelting immortal bronze began, and I didn't meet with Blacksmith Xu, and now that I was like this, dealing with others would only make people feel awkward. The casting was all done by my father to talk to Blacksmith Xu, and I didn't witness the specific process, and the next morning, my father told me that the thing was cast.

I saw the bronze monkey cast, Xu blacksmith's craftsmanship is average, the tools are also simple, and more importantly, he lacks relevant experience, the cast monkey is generally the appearance of a monkey, but the details are not satisfactory.

This is not the first time I have seen this bronze monkey, but there are many memories of the past that I don't want to recall.

I did as Banda Guwang had instructed, opened his cranial cavity, and put the whole brain into the hollow head of the bronze monkey. I didn't hide it from my father, he was surprised why I did it, but he never asked.

I did the sealing of the monkey's head myself, and I used to learn some cultural relics repair techniques from people when I was in the Qikongqiao Market.

"Are you from the ancient line?"

"It's not." I shook my head: "I'm just an ordinary person who lives in a mixed life, I can't take this bronze statue of the monkey, I can't take it away, stay here, you have helped me a lot, I can't thank you, send the Buddha to the west, do me a favor again, you find a place, just a little remote, bury the bronze statue." ”

"And then?"

"No, just bury it." I pulled out the last two cigarettes and handed him one: "Please smoke a cigarette to show my gratitude." ”

My father might have wanted to say something, but I didn't listen. A man smoked a cigarette and walked slowly to the path in the mountains behind the village.

After so many things, I already know a truth. This world does not belong to me, I stay here, just a bystander. My appearance will inevitably have an impact on some people, and the consequences of this impact are immeasurable, so leaving is the best choice.

Just leave like that, leaving no trace.

When I had walked a long way out, I looked back and could see my father standing there, looking this way.

I went back to the little cave, hesitant. With my current ability, I can only leave from here. But the situation has become a warning or a lesson, and it is impossible to guarantee absolute safety for those gates marked with coordinates. I wondered if I would become like Banda Guwan, a person who couldn't find a home, a lonely traveler who wandered through time and space.

It's just that I have no other way, no other choice, if I don't leave here, I'm going to stay in this plane forever.

I made all the preparations and walked into the cave. In the corner of the cave, there is a darkness that the sun can't melt. When I walked into this darkness, the feeling of walking through the door came spontaneously, almost a hundredth of a second, and I couldn't feel myself again.

However, this time it was very unexpected, my consciousness was not completely lost, and in my subconscious, a sudden thought was howling like a strong wind.

When Banda Guwang came to this plane, why did he carry a piece of immortal bronze? I can understand that he wants to go home and connect with his loved ones, but I suddenly feel that it is not so simple for him to live in this time and space in this way.

What exactly is his purpose? What is it?

I panicked, because once this kind of thing goes wrong, it's a mess that no one can clean up. My subconscious kept telling myself that it was wrong, that it was very inappropriate, that Banda Guwang had asked me to leave the bronze monkey in this space, which was very inappropriate.

But now that I think about it, it's too late.

The subconscious gradually faded away, replaced by a deep coma. When he woke up, the light in his hand reflected the door in front of him.

I'm back to the same gate I used to be, but I haven't walked out yet, and I can't tell if I'm returning to the starting point.

I got up from the ground and touched my face with my palm carelessly. This made my heart clench suddenly, and the whole person was suddenly bad.

The touch of my palm told me that my face was covered with fine tan hair, like a monkey Dajue, and Banda Guwang. I don't know how the fine hairs on my face have grown so much in such a short period of time, but it's a fact that can't be changed. I sat there for a few minutes to calm down. Soon, my mind was occupied by my previous worries.

Beyond this gate, is the plane that belongs to me? I don't want to be a wanderer who will never find a home. My face is covered with fine hair, which doesn't kill me, at least I'm still alive, and I can do my best to finish what I haven't done. But if I get lost in time and space, I can't do anything.

I walked to the gate step by step with trepidation, and when I came out of the gap that was only about one meter wide, I didn't dare to open my eyes, for fear that I would see a strange scene.

The gate is still the original gate, and the gate space is also the original gate space. As soon as I walked out of the door, the light of the flashlight swept on the ground, and my heart, which had been hanging high, immediately fell to the ground.

I was not lost, I saw a cigarette butt on the ground outside the gate, which I had left outside before I walked in with Bandaghuwang. The cigarette butt is still there, which means that the time and space I have returned to is the correct time and space.

I suddenly came to my senses, quickened my pace, and walked forward. As I walked out of the gate, I saw a bonfire that was about to go out.

It was the bonfire that Grandma Wu usually used to boil water for cooking, although the bonfire was about to go out, and there was only a faint light left, but this faint light was like a newborn sun to me, full of hope and light.

I sped along the path under my feet, and in one breath ran to the campfire. In the faint light of the fire, Grandma Wu could be seen sitting by the campfire.

"Grandma Wu." I had never felt so kind to Grandma Wu, and I almost laughed out loud at the sight of the shadow around the campfire.

I ran to her in one go, however, after the distance was shortened, I suddenly realized that the figure by the campfire was not Grandma Wu.

Next to the campfire, there is a wheelchair, and on the wheelchair sits a "person" who is barely human.
