Chapter 29: A Strange Calling
Zhang Shijie ignored the pungent smoke and spicy eyes, and ran desperately like crazy.
An Dong was left behind because of his limited mobility.
Seeing that Zhang Shijie was about to rush into the sea of fire regardless of his life, An Dong hurriedly shouted and asked Da Niu to stop him.
"Map, map still in there!"
Zhang Shijie struggled desperately, and shouted loudly.
How he wished that Andong would order Da Niu to let go, so that he could go in and take out the map.
However, An Donggo has been speechless, sitting in a wheelchair, quietly watching the fire in the sky, his face is gloomy and a little terrifying.
Is this fire really just a fire?
An Dong doesn't believe it!
His intuition told him that Wang Dali had done this.
However, there is no evidence to prove this.
"Brother Zhang, there was a person just now, let me give this to you."
Just when everyone was fighting the fire, the big bull stopped Zhang Shijie, and An Dong was suspicious in his heart, an eight or nine-year-old girl ran over and pulled Zhang Shijie's clothes and said.
Taking the envelope from the little girl's hand, Zhang Shijie gave up struggling.
He knew that no matter how much he struggled, it was impossible for the big bull to let him in.
Seeing that the fire had engulfed the entire house, nothing could be done, and the map had long since been burned to ashes.
"Despicable villain!" After reading the letter in his hand, Zhang Shijie angrily made a ball of the letter paper, threw it into the fire, and scolded loudly.
"It's a threatening letter, isn't it?" Seeing that Zhang Shijie was so angry, An Dong asked.
Zhang Shijie already knew about the grievances between An Dong and Wang Dali, and after reading the letter, he was even more sure that Wang Dali was looking for someone to do all this.
The purpose is to get revenge on him.
Looking at the sea of fire, Zhang Shijie said to An Dong: "Well, I'm sure that Wang Dali sent people to do all this. ”
"Don't be sad, one day, I will make him pay it back!"
"I believe in you!"
In just a few words, the distance between the two seems to have narrowed a lot.
Because the houses in the slums are relatively dense, large fire trucks cannot enter at all.
So, the fire spread nearly half a street before it was extinguished.
"Da Niu, can I borrow some contribution points from you?"
Seeing that the fire was finally extinguished, Zhang Shijie said to Da Niu with a stain on his face.
"Don't borrow!" Da Niu refused, and just when Zhang Shijie wanted to scold, Da Niu smiled, and then said: "Over the years, I have saved almost 30,000 contribution points, all of which are given to you!" ”
As he spoke, Da Niu took out a sauce-yellow memory card and handed it to Zhang Shijie.
"I didn't expect that you are still a local tyrant!"
Zhang Shijie was not polite, took the supreme-level memory card, handed it back to an old man, and then said to the old man:
"Uncle Liu, I will compensate for the losses here, if it is not enough, I will find a way."
"Shijie, how can this be done?"
"Uncle Liu, don't shirk! The fire started in my house, and it stands to reason that I should pay for it. ”
"Okay, on behalf of the neighbors, thank you!"
The old man shook his hands, carefully put away the memory card, and said to Zhang Shijie with tears in his eyes.
Looking at the burned and collapsed house, Zhang Shijie suppressed his anger, and secretly swore in his heart, saying: This hatred, I, Zhang Shijie, will definitely get it back by myself!
"Let's go, I won't be coming back here!"
Zhang Shijie turned around and was about to leave here.
"Wait, I want to go in and have a look."
An Dong stopped Zhang Shijie.
He always felt that in the midst of the collapsed ruins of the house, something was calling to him.
It's a subtle feeling, it's like it's coming and going, it's coming and going.
"It's all burned like this, what's there to see?"
Zhang Shijie stopped and asked the other party.
"You and the big cow go in and follow my instructions to find something."
An Dong adjusted the position of the wheelchair, so that he faced the ruins of the house, closed his eyes and meditated, and entered a mysterious state of emptiness.
This "skill" has been known to An Dong since he was a child.
Whenever he encounters something annoying, he will force himself into such a state of emptiness, and he will soon calm down.
Zhang Shijie and Da Niu didn't know why, so they could only wait obediently, waiting for An Dong to give them orders, so that they could act according to his instructions.
"Look for the place against the wall over there."
Suddenly, An Dong opened his eyes, looked at a collapsed stone wall to the east, and said to Zhang Shijie and the two of them.
Da Niu rolled up his sleeves and asked An Dong eagerly, "What are you looking for?" What does it probably look like? ”
"I don't know."
An Dong told the truth, and almost made the big cow fall on the spot.
You don't know what you're looking for, so how do we find it?
However, just when Da Niu was about to complain, Zhang Shijie rushed out with a brisk step, and shouted loudly: "I know what he is looking for!" ”
In the ruins, Zhang Shijie rummaged through and picked up, and soon brought back a burnt and badly deformed iron box.
His face was dark, with a row of small white teeth, and his smile was unusually bright.
"An Dong, are you looking for this?"
Handing the iron box in his arms forward, Zhang Shijie asked him with a smile.
"Wait a minute, I'll sense."
An Dong closed his eyes again.
This time, though, he quickly opened his eyes.
"That's it! Open it, I'm going to see what's inside! ”
An Dong was sure that the thing that attracted him was this dilapidated tin box.
Zhang Shijie handed the box in his hand to Da Niu, and said: "Da Niu, you should open it, I dare not open it." ”
"Uh, you don't dare? Are you still holding so tightly? Da Niu Tian was not afraid of the earth, and as he spoke, he took the box.
Da Niu put down the box, and after getting ready, he turned back to the two and said, "It's a little back, I'm going to open the box!" ”
With a soft "bang", the deformed iron box was opened by the bull with brute force.
The terrifying scene did not appear, and when the tin box was opened, it was just some black ash that had burned out.
"Nothing?" Da Niu looked at the black ash of the half box, and asked the two behind him puzzled.
"Pour them all out!" Andong trusted his instincts, there must be something in this.
Otherwise, his instincts wouldn't have been so strong.
As he said, the big cow flipped over the box and poured out the ashes inside.
"Look, there's something, there's really something!"
Zhang Shijie blinked vigorously, he couldn't believe his eyes, such a big fire, so there would be something that didn't burn out?
It's incredible, isn't it?
"It's this Dongxi who has been calling me!"
An Dong closed his eyes and sensed carefully.
He was able to confirm that his induction was correct.
Something inside the ashes was sending a faint signal to him.
What the hell is this thing?
Why is the signal being sent?
And why did he inspire him?
There are too many doubts and incomprehensions.
Although, after experiencing the Five Spirits Heavenly Bracelet, his three views have been completely subverted.
However, in the face of such a strange thing, he still couldn't be calm.
"It's the map, this is the map!"
Zhang Shijie picked up the pile of ashes, took out a dark red satin bag from it, and shouted excitedly.
"Show me!"
Hearing Zhang Shijie's words, An Dong couldn't bear it anymore and said to him anxiously.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't move his whole body, he would have rushed over at the first time.
Zhang Shijie sent the dark red pocket to An Dong and said to him: "Here, you can take a look, this is the map I said." Now, like you, I believe it's real! ”
Now, Zhang Shijie also believes that the legend is true.
Because, this pocket and this map, it's really weird.
It is an absolute miracle that it was able to survive such a fire.
Now, the one thing he wants to figure out the most is: what kind of material is this red cloth bag made of, and what kind of animal skin is drawn on that map.
Actually, it can be fireproof and non-combustible!
The dark red satin cloth bag does not have any special features.
A small piece of dark red satin was made into a pocket, and the mouth of the bag was tied tightly with a golden rope, which looked very ordinary.
An Dong didn't see anything wrong, and he couldn't see any clues at all.
The doubts and incomprehensions in my heart still haven't been answered.
"Open it and show me!"
An Dong looked at it for a while, and then said to Zhang Shijie.
"Okay." As Zhang Shijie spoke, he pulled open the golden rope and took out the map drawn on the animal skin inside.
"There's nothing unusual about looking at the mountain, but how can I sense its calling?"
An Dong was even more puzzled, and after looking at it for a while, he said leisurely.
"Everything in the world is wonderful. I can't do a good job of researching it here, so I'll go and talk about it first! ”
Just when An Dong and Zhang Shijie were ready to study the pocket and this map carefully, the big bull on the side reminded them.
An Dong and Zhang Shijie also felt that what Da Niu said made sense, this was not a place for research, after all, there were many people, so they agreed to Da Niu's proposal without any rebuttal.
Zhang Shijie put away the map, pushed An Dong and left the slum area that was burned to ruins, and walked towards the city lord's mansion in the city.
The bull was always by their side.
This morning, Da Niu has received an official notice from Ou Jincheng: from now on, he will serve as An Dong's personal guard to ensure his personal safety.
I didn't follow An Dong in the morning because he still had some things to deal with.
Otherwise, An Dong would not have happened so much with Wang Dali in the warehouse.
Da Niu did not have any resistance to Ou Jincheng's decision.
First of all, his family has been working in the City Lord's Mansion for generations, and his thoughts have long been ingrained, and he obeys the words of the Ou family.
In addition, he himself is also a little interested in An Dong, and following such a wonderful person is much stronger than following those dull old stubborns.
In fact, in Da Niu's heart, what he wants to do most is not this.
He also has a grand ideal in his heart.
However, he did not know at this time that his grand ideal was realized precisely because of what he is doing today.
