When I woke up, it was noon the next day, and I didn't know where I was, but I felt that the room I was in looked familiar. Dingqing looks, this room is not big, about ten square meters, the decoration in the room is very simple, only a few simple pieces of bamboo furniture, it looks like a special feeling, the owner of this room must be particular about life.

On the left side of the room sat a man with his back to me, I couldn't see his face, and judging from the back, this person should be a middle-aged man.

At first, I thought the man was a high-ranking man, after all, it was the high-ranking man who carried me out of the walking horse village, and shouted to the man: "High-ranking man, this is your house?" ”

The man turned his head slowly, I was stunned, he had a Chinese face, thick eyebrows, a scar on his face, from the left eye to the right corner of the mouth, it looked particularly hideous, and the hair was combed very delicately, what made me strange was that from the face, this person's age was about seventy years old, but the back just now gave me the feeling of a middle-aged man.

"Who are you?" I propped myself up and politely asked, "I've never seen this person before, how can he be here?" What about them? I still have a lot of questions in my mind that I haven't asked him.

He smiled, scooped up a bamboo stool and put it on the side of the bed, sat down, glanced at me for a while, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "The name is just a code name, it doesn't matter if you say it or not." ”

When he said this, I was slightly stunned and asked him, "Where is this?" Tall guys, skinny monkeys, what about them? ”

He smiled faintly, "When your body is better, I will tell you, take care of your body first!" ”

I was a little anxious, I remember when I went out of the village, I was carried out of the village by the tall guy, the thin monkey, the black leek, the three melons and the four eight immortals, the purpose was to let me go back to Aozi Village to be punished, how did I come to this strange house for no reason.

What's more, with the temperament of a tall guy and a thin monkey, maybe I'll be released halfway. However, the black leeks and the three melons, they can't let me go easily, after all, that matter involves the reputation of the Eight Immortals.

Thinking of this, I asked the man again: "Old man, please tell me where the tall guy and the thin monkey have gone." ”

He shook his head, stood up, and without speaking, walked straight out of the room, leaving me alone on the bed.

I called out to the man seven or eight times in a row, but he still ignored me.

Seeing this, I was also anxious, I don't know if it was because of my body, or what was going on, I coughed a few times, this cough, the whole body was like being pricked by a needle, burning pain, pain into the bone marrow.

I lifted my clothes and looked at them, and I saw that there was no good place on my body, and there were clearly visible bruises covering most of my body, and in some places I could faintly see blood.

Seeing this, I endured the pain from my body, leaned on the head of the bed, and kept thinking in my heart, it should be a bitter ploy for the senior boss to beat me, as for what the women in the Walking Horse Village said and the attitude of the Eight Immortals towards me, it should be related to what Na Qin'er said.

So what did Jean say? What has changed their attitude towards me so dramatically?

After thinking about it for a while, I really couldn't figure out what was going on, so I didn't think about it anymore, so I closed my eyes and began to recuperate.

He lay in bed for seven days, except for eating, drinking, and sleeping. What pains me is that every time I sleep is a nightmare, as soon as I close my eyes, I dream of the green snakes of the underground world, they tear at my body and my skeleton like demons.

This has made my body worse and my wound has healed a lot. However, the mental torture is several times or even hundreds of times stronger than the physical pain, and in just seven days, my weight has gone from 120 pounds to about 110 pounds.

Even so, the nightmare still did not leave me, but became stronger and stronger, more and more real each time, more painful each time, and my whole spirit almost did not collapse.

I never thought that a funeral would pay such a big price, even now when I think of the events at that time, I still can't help but shudder, many times, I even begin to doubt life, is it really good people are not rewarded?

In this way, I stayed in this room for another seven days, and my weight plummeted again, only 100 pounds, and the whole person's spirit looked very tired, and the two eyes were sunken a lot, and the dark circles under the eyes were especially heavy, and from a distance, they looked like panda eyes.

It is worth mentioning that during these fourteen days, the strange old man never said a word to me except for the usual food and necessities of life, and every time I asked him about the old man and the walking horse village, the old man always shook his head. It wasn't until the fifteenth day that the old man finally spoke.

On this day, the old man brought me some breakfast as usual, and I thought he would leave this time after putting it down. Who knows, he actually spoke, he said: "Xiao Jiu, after half a month of recuperation, your body is almost fine, it's time to tell you about them." ”

As soon as I heard this, my face turned happy, and I quickly got up from the bed and asked, "Old man, please speak." ”

He glanced at him, did not speak, turned around and found some tea sets, made a pot of tea, poured me a cup, poured himself another cup, took a sip of tea, and motioned for me to taste tea.

I didn't have the heart to taste the tea, so I took the tea, drank it, and urged him to tell me about the old man and the walking horse village again.

He smiled, ignored me, poured me another cup of tea, and motioned for me to taste it.

I was also drunk, what was so good about this tea, picked up the teacup, drank it again, and urged him to hurry up and get down to business.

This time, he didn't rush to pour me tea, but frowned slightly, and said lightly: "It's easy to forget your vigilance, but it's easy to be proud." ”

After saying this, he hesitated for a moment, poured me another cup of tea, and said word by word: "Taste tea." ”

Now, I understand what he means, he wants to guard against arrogance and rashness, and listen to what he is going to say next with a calm mind.

Thinking about this, I took a few deep breaths, barely calmed my heart, picked up the teacup, took a sip gently, the taste in the mouth was extremely bitter, and I felt that the mouth was filled with a very peculiar taste.

I glanced at him suspiciously, I had drunk it quickly, and I didn't feel the smell of this tea, so I asked him, "What kind of tea are you?" ”

He smiled and didn't speak, motioning for me to finish the tea in his cup.

I was slightly stunned, picked up the teacup and continued to take a sip, the second sip tasted a little strange, compared to the first sip, this taste was slightly better than the previous one.

It's such a strange tea, I secretly screamed, and took another sip, this time the taste was even stranger, and there was a faint sweetness in it.
