Volume 1: The Candle Dragon of the South China Sea Chapter 19: Heart-to-Heart Conversation at Night
When I helped Chen Haoyue get dressed, I found that she had a string of red ropes around her neck, and turned her head to look at the fat man, who was standing not far away and smoking, not caring about the situation here.
I carefully removed the thing, and at the end of the rope was tied something like a shell, which shone silver by the light of the light, and it looked like a shell, but it was as thin as paper, but more like the scales of a snake, and I held it in my hand to the size of half a palm.
If this is a snake scale, how big does it have to be?
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps behind me, and I hurriedly interrupted my thoughts and hurriedly hung the thing on Chen Haoyue's neck again.
"How's it going? Awake? The fat man came up to me smoking a cigarette and asked.
"For the time being, I've disinfected and bandaged her wounds, and I don't know the rest." I shook my head and said with a sigh.
The fat man came up to me and handed me a cigarette and said, "Fuck it! I said how could this happen, we were harmed. ”
"What? This barren mountain and wilderness was done by that guy! I'm going to have to skin him. I clenched my fists and said.
"It's not a living person, you come here with me to have a look." The fat man pointed at me and said.
I hugged Chen Haoyue and followed the fat man over, the fat man took me to the place where he was smoking just now, I stood aside and found that there were some stout round stone pillars all around, each round stone pillar was placed regularly, showing a huge circular state, and a few criss-crossing stone pillars collapsed on the ground, it looked like someone had deliberately placed it neatly before, if it wasn't for careful looking, I thought it was formed from the stone that fell from the mountain.
"Look at what's in the dry well in the middle."
The fat man took a flashlight and pointed to a dry well in the middle, I put down Chen Haoyue, and walked over cautiously to see, the light of the flashlight shone in the dry well, I walked to the side of the dry well to see, and suddenly gasped in my heart, I couldn't help but sweat on my head, and goosebumps stood up on my body!
Because that dry well is full of countless white heads!
The fat man hurriedly pulled me from behind, and I was so frightened that I immediately spread it on the ground, gasping for air.
"This is the altar of the ancients, and the things in the dry well are the heads of the living." After the fat man finished speaking, he took a big sip of cigarettes, and I quickly lit a cigarette to suppress the shock.
It dawned on me that the bloody human face I had just encountered while driving, as well as the fat man and Chen Haoyue suddenly turned into two human heads, and those white ghost shadows turned out to be ghosts of dead heads in this dry well.
"How cruel is this ancient man to fuck him, he actually cut off the heads of the living and sacrifice." I looked at the heads and shuddered.
"In the oracle bone inscriptions, it is recorded that human sacrifice originated in the Shang Dynasty, and sacrifice was an extremely important and common activity in the life of merchants. But what makes people shudder is that the sacrifices of the Shang Dynasty often have large-scale human sacrifices, that is, killing living people for sacrifice, and these people who were killed were not defeated slaves, they were all nomadic people who worked hard at that time. ”
After listening to the fat man's explanation, I suddenly said anything in my heart, thinking of those white Sensen's heads, I only felt a wave of nausea in my stomach, and I ran not far away and vomited.
"Okay, if you want to talk about cruelty, compared to those people, Ling Chi, and the five horses, etc., this can at least give you a good time." The fat man came over and said.
Suddenly, the fat man's expression changed, and he said to me suspiciously: "It's not right, this Shang Dynasty has been destroyed for thousands of years, and this human head sacrifice seems to be just an ornament in recent decades, how can such an obscure thing appear here inexplicably." ”
"It seems that there are indeed a lot of things that we can't understand, so let's get out of this place first, it's terrible." I gasped for air, not wanting to stay here for a minute.
"There is too much luggage in the car, Chen Haoyue is injured again, we can't leave, it's past two o'clock now, let's rest for a while and wait for dawn." The fat man said and took out the tent from the car.
"And what if you run into these dead ghosts again?" I looked at the fat man and said.
"Today is the night of the full moon, and it was the time just now, so it is the time when these lonely souls and wild ghosts are infested the most, and now that the moon is scattered, it should be fine, and there is still the fat man's gold talisman in hand, this product is not vegetarian." The fat man picked up the gold talisman in his hand and shook it in front of me.
I immediately understood, why I was the only one who was ghosted just now, but the two of them were fine, it turned out that the fat man had a golden talisman on his body, and Chen Haoyue was also close to the fat man, it seemed that he could only wait for dawn to act.
"It's been so long, and the car is gone, hey, it's a sad day." The fat man sighed and walked to the tent with heavy steps.
"Fat brother, you can rest first, I will stay here for vigil, and you will come back for me later."
It is estimated that the fat man is still worried about the car, and I also feel a little sorry for him, as soon as I finished speaking, the fat man did not care about me at all, turned around and plunged into the tent, and in less than three minutes, the fat man's snoring sound came from the tent.
Holding Chen Haoyue to a lawn not far away, sitting on the ground and looking at the night sky, many stars flashed in the night sky, I remembered what the old people said before, as long as you make a wish to the stars, the stars can fulfill your wishes.
Seeing that Chen Haoyue was still unconscious, I didn't know if she could survive this catastrophe, and silently prayed to God in my heart, hoping to wake up this lovely girl in my arms.
If it weren't for everyone to uncover these mysteries for me, they wouldn't have encountered these accidents, Chen Haoyue was originally a lady, but she was so seriously injured today, looking at her lying in my arms, I couldn't do anything, I could only look at her helplessly.
No matter how she cried with you before, laughed with you, and even beat you and scolded you, maybe one day there will be no such person in the world, my eyes were a little moist, and drop by drop fell on her face.
I don't know how to cherish what I have, so I lost that precious memory, the happiness on my face, others can see it, and who can feel the sadness in my heart.
"Can't you put down your aunt and grandmother, my arms are numb from your hugs." Chen Haoyue blinked her bright eyes and said to me with a sweet smile on her face.
"Huh? You're awake. ”
I was stunned for a moment, and I didn't know what to say for a while.
"It's not that your saliva has fallen on my face, you have made me spend such beautiful makeup." Chen Haoyue stood up, smiled and said to me.
"No, I just saw that you have been unconscious, and I cried in a hurry."
I looked at Chen Haoyue, and the joy in my eyes couldn't be hidden, although everyone has experienced so much together, but being able to get together at this time is the greatest joy.
"Let's go, come with me to the front to see the moon."
After Chen Haoyue finished speaking, she got up and left, I hurriedly followed her to the stone slope not far away, the two of them sat on a stone, although they didn't know what to say, but they looked at the shining stars in the night sky, as if they kept blinking at me.
"Do you think the moon in the sky is beautiful or am I good-looking?" Chen Haoyue asked.
I was at a loss for a moment, but reason told me, "You are the best looking in this world, because you are the moon, and people can see you when they look up, and after a long time, they will think you are good-looking." ”
I thought she would hit me, but she ignored me, and instead walked to the side and sat quietly on the ground, and I saw that she was a little sad and quietly followed.
Chen Haoyue's eyes stared at the stars in the night sky, the moonlight sprinkled on her face, I don't know what her inner world will be like, it is a vast starry sky, or a vast ocean, but I believe I will know soon.
For a moment, her eyes seemed to be a little moist, and a tear fell from her eyes, forming a ripple with the sea of stars in her eyes, with warmth, touch, and longing.
"Are you, homesick?" I asked.
"How do you know?"
"Because I have lost loved ones, I also have a home, but now I have to find myself and find my home." I looked at the starry sky and said resolutely.
"Every time at night, I always come out alone and look at the night sky, the countless stars that wink at me, as if they are the souls of lost relatives, so lonely and guarding their place, even if they are so close, but they can never be reunited, and they can look at each other in their lives." Chen Haoyue blinked her bright eyes, and a trace of moisture flashed in her eyes.
"Every time I look at this starry sky, I always think of the memories of the past, and those family members who have been together, looking at this vast starry sky, as if I can touch it with my hand, and those once beautiful memories will go by with the passage of time, just like the stars will always have a moment to go out, but the next night, they will still light up. But those lost relatives will not come back, and even the memories in my mind will be eroded by the years and gradually blurred, but I will always hide it in my heart and bury it deeply. ”
"Can I keep you in my heart? Moon. ”
As soon as I finished speaking, the fat man came over at some point.
"Yo! Xiaotian, I can't see it, Ya is really a saint of love, how can it be dropped? I've only been away for a while, and I'm starting to get my apprentice's attention? ”
"Fat brother, why are you here?" I cursed in my heart, but I still had a smile on my face.
"It's not that you two are here to fall in love, the fat man's vinegar jar is about to be overturned by you." The fat man said angrily.
"We're just talking and joking, don't take it seriously, Xiaoyue, don't take it to heart." I said to the fat man and Chen Haoyue.
"In this way, I was almost touched by you just now, and I thought what you said was true, and I wanted to marry you." Chen Haoyue grimaced at me and said with a grin.
"Okay, you two go to the rest meeting, let you fat master and I come to the vigil." The fat man said.
"Okay, then there is Fat Lao, don't worry about this, we will sleep in two tents."
"Cut, where do you want to go?"
