Chapter 20: The Puzzle

I wiped away my tears and was about to ask, but I heard Lao Ma say in a cold voice: "Daze, give me the medicine kit." ”

The voice is not the old horse's, it seems that he doesn't plan to pretend anymore, I instantly feel that the person in front of me is extremely strange, he is no longer the old horse who can make me unguarded and confide in my heart.

I silently flipped out the medical bag and handed it to him, only to notice that the woman had blue lips and a bloody wound on her wrist that looked deep.

The old horse used the last bit of water to rinse the woman's wound, and I saw that her wound was a deep tooth mark, and the wound was blue and black, and I don't know what it was bitten by.

The old horse treated her wound and bandaged it, and took out a light green injection and a syringe from his trouser pocket that had not yet been opened.

I watched him skillfully break open the needle and absorb the liquid, skillfully disinfect and inject the woman, unable to say a word, and could not insert a word.

I felt that I had truly become an outsider, obviously I was the one who came to pick up the family's ancient jade, but suddenly I became an outsider who didn't know anything, didn't know anything.

I don't believe that these two people are here to rob the tomb, we have seen so many exquisite burials, this man is indifferent, their purpose must be the same as mine, it is the piece of jade.

But who are they, do they know them, and why do they want my family's jade?

I was so confused, what I thought about the most was not jade, it was Lao Ma, this friend who had been with me for more than ten days, really didn't know anything?

The current old horse is not the old horse, so where did the real old horse go? I still don't believe that with Lao Ma's honest character, he will hide such a big secret, and these two people must have harmed him.

I thought to myself, I felt chills all over my body, this man's skill and wisdom were above me, and it would be useless for me to resist.

I was bent on believing that the old horse had been killed, so in order to seal up, I would be next.

I was desperate in my heart, but I didn't have the slightest desire to escape, and I had a hunch in my heart that even if I escaped, they would catch me, but even if I died, I had to figure it all out and die clearly.

The old horse had already cleaned up the woman, and I looked at the small glass bottle he had thrown on the ground, and asked, "What is this?" ”

I didn't expect this to be the first question I asked, and I didn't expect him to answer it without hesitation.

He said quickly, it was in foreign language, and I didn't understand it at all.

The woman's breathing gradually stabilized, she closed her eyes, I don't know if she was asleep, Lao Ma sat next to her and looked at me: "If there is anything you want to ask, just ask." ”

I moved my lips, not knowing where to start, and it took me a long time before I spoke: "Where's the old horse?" ”

He laughed out loud with a "poof", his voice high and playful: "You like him so much, miss him so much?" ”

I felt a little angry and shouted, "He's my friend!" What the hell have you done to him! ”

"You treat him as a friend, but he doesn't necessarily think of you as a friend," his voice cooled, "and he abandoned you for a little thing." ”

"What do you mean?!" Watching him say this with the face of an old horse made me feel very uncomfortable.

"It's not interesting, it's just abandonment, Zhao Changze, let me ask you, do you really know him? Do you really know what's going on in his mind? You still want to marry him with a daughter-in-law. ”

I felt a chill in my heart, he was right, I have known Lao Ma for a short time, I really can't be considered to know him completely, but I can't detect any secrets he has at all, and I can't see that he has lied to me at all.

"You think he's here for the first time? Who do you think closed the mechanism in this ancient tomb that could stop the flow of the Yangtze River? Do you think Chen Guangwen has really kept a secret for so many years and never told him anything? ”

"What do you mean? What do you mean?! How do you know what the Yangtze River is broken, how do you know that he has been here?! ”

My whole body was trembling, my mind was confused, I was really an outsider, I really didn't know anything, the old horse was really lying to me, but I couldn't notice anything.

For the first time, I felt that this world was so terrifying, much more terrifying than the black-haired dried corpse fox, I simply thought that the blood curse of the family was the family's, but why did it implicate so many outsiders.

I felt really stupid, but I still couldn't believe that the old horse had abandoned me, the person in front of me wanted the piece of jade, and he was probably tricking me.

Everything I thought in my heart was on my face, and he saw through it at a glance: "Zhao Changze, you're a fool!" ”

I looked at him blankly, but he suddenly approached and grabbed me by the collar.

"Who's protecting you all the way! If it weren't for me, you wouldn't know how many times you'd die! ”

I shuddered, and stared blankly at the face that was close at hand, the face was the same as that of an old horse, but below it was another person.

I carefully recalled the old horse's face, and found that I couldn't remember the details at all, and I was inseparable from him day and night, and I didn't even know if he had a mole on his face.

I suddenly felt very sad, and tears fell uncontrollably, and when he saw me crying, he sighed, let go, and threw me down.

"Ah Chuan, don't say it again."

The woman opened her eyes at some point and looked at us, her voice as cold as her eyes.

"Xiao Qi, you said that Zhao Deren is so smart, how could he give birth to such a stupid person."

There was no doubt in Ah Chuan's words, and Xiao Qi didn't answer, but my mind was "buzzing", and I stepped forward and grabbed him: "You know my father?!" ”

"Hey, it's not stupid," Ah Chuan's voice was full of mockery, "If it weren't for your father, do you think I would have brought you in to play at home?" ”

"What did my dad say? Who the hell are you?! ”

I caught him impatiently, the old horse could lie to me, they could lie to me, but I didn't believe my dad would lie to me.

Speaking of which, how much do I know about my father, I have been attending a full-boarding school since I was in elementary school, and for more than ten years, I only went home during the winter and summer vacations.

My father was always alone at home, and when I came home from vacation, he took me into his arms with a smile and put me in the car at the entrance of the village when I started school.

I never asked him what he was doing when I wasn't at home, I always firmly believed that he was waiting for me at home, and now that I think about it, I was so unfilial that I didn't know anything about my father.

Yes, even I know that the blood curse of the family can't wait to come, how can my father be indifferent? My father was twenty-one years old when my grandfather died, and even if my grandmother didn't say anything, he could see it for himself, and he would definitely not choose to sit still.

I naively thought that I just had to take out this piece of jade, but I didn't think about how much was hidden behind it.

Can I really put an end to the blood curse that my father has never been able to break in his life?

I cried out loud, just like the day I saw my father's body, Ah Chuan and Xiao Qi looked at me like this, without saying a word.

They are all such cold people, they must know a lot more secrets than I do, as Ah Chuan said, he is indeed taking me to the house.

I struggled to hold back my choked voice, trying to stop the tears from flowing, and I trembled in my voice: "Jade, give it to me." ”

A flash of incredulity flashed in Ah Chuan's eyes: "Do you still want it?" Isn't that enough of what you've experienced today, that's not what you're supposed to hold. ”

"That's my stuff! This is also my family's blood curse! I cried out loudly, "Even if I can't solve the problem of being dead, that's none of your business!" ”

"Smack!"

I was slapped the face, and I looked up in surprise, only to see Agawa's face full of anger.

"Ah Chuan, that's enough!" Xiao Qi's voice was extremely stern.

"Not enough!"

Ah Chuan crouched down and looked at me, his dark pupils like a deep pool, as if he wanted to suck my soul into it.

"Zhao Changze, you don't ...... at all Nothing is known. ”

My whole body trembled, and an indescribable anger rushed to my head: "What right do you have to hit me!" I asked you and you won't say! ”

Ah Chuan raised my hand and squeezed it very painfully: "You're angry, aren't you?" Then hit me hard and hit me back! ”

I unconsciously wanted to retract my hand, I was never the kind of person who would hit someone, even if the other person hit me, I didn't want to hit him, I preferred to solve the problem in a peaceful way.

"Bad/Seed! I don't dare to fight back, and I still want to unlock the blood curse?! ”

Ah Chuan scolded very hard, but I still didn't want to hit him, I just felt that everything was so familiar, but so unfamiliar.

"You never know how much your father paid in exchange for your chance to get out, you should have died, but he died for you, it's too late for you to give up now, I tell you clearly, this opportunity was bought by your father with his life!"

My mind was in turmoil, and I looked at him with teary eyes: "What do you mean, you tell me clearly, what do you mean!" ”

"Give up this piece of jade and live your ordinary life, and we will help you unravel the blood curse."

I was stunned for a moment, I had thought of countless endings, but I had never thought of this one, he said it so lightly, as if the blood curse could be easily unraveled.

But how can I believe it?

If what he said was true, and even the man who seemed so loyal and kind to Lao Ma lied to me, wouldn't he lie to me? I'm a fool after all, I believe everybody, but now they're telling me not to believe it.

If you don't believe in Lao Ma, why should I believe you? You clearly look even less trustworthy than the old horse.

My heart is like a mess, true and false, false and true, I can't grasp anything now, I can't see anything clearly, and the only father I can really believe in is gone.
