61: Xu Bu is gone
Bronze key.
Looking at the key in my father's palm, I knew that this was the bronze key I had been looking for.
On the last day, my father actually sent the bronze key, and I wondered if this was my grandmother's idea.
After all, as a corpse god, it is impossible for his father to think like this. Grandma had obviously calculated this situation, and on the last day, she asked her father, who was basically not very sensible, to deliver the keys.
The bronze key seems to have been on his father's body all along, and his father was so cold that he had no body temperature because he was a corpse.
Gripping the key tightly and looking at my father's half-covered face, I felt unspeakably uncomfortable.
In a blink of an eye, my father has been dead for more than ten years.
The impression of him has been stuck more than ten years ago. Because he was young when he died, his memory was very vague. The appearance of his father over the years is only a photo left by him and his mother when they got married.
Suddenly, I wanted to take a good look at my father, so I raised my hand to clean up the pieces of cloth that were still hanging from his face.
His face was pale, his eyes were dark red, and his face was not much different from the photo.
"Dad."
Tears flowed uncontrollably.
"Dongsheng, is that you? Are you back? Mother's excited voice suddenly sounded behind her, she trotted up, and before I could stop it, my mother directly hugged my father, who had become a corpse.
This made me nervous, staring at my father for fear that he would hurt her.
Even though he was a father, I knew that he was a corpse that could tear people apart, and even though my grandmother had set it up, I was worried about what was wrong.
"Da Da ......"
The father seemed to feel his mother's thoughts, and there was a sound in his mouth, and the mother cried out with a wow, holding her father tightly with both hands.
There was a noise in Xu Buhuo's room at this time, and I was worried that he would hurt my father, so I stepped forward to comfort my mother and pulled her hand away.
"Da Da ......"
My father's reddened eyes swept over me and my mother, and they disappeared into the darkness like the wind, and my mother broke down completely, slumped on the ground and cried.
Although what happened during this time was not aimed at my mother, I knew that she was under a lot of pressure, so I didn't comfort her much, knowing that my mother needed a reason to vent.
"Your father is here?" Xu Buhuo walked out of the room, looked at me after not seeing my father, I nodded, spread my palms and said, "He came to give me the key." ”
Seeing the key, Xu Buhuo subconsciously stepped forward to get it, but I didn't give him a chance, so I put the key in my pocket and said, "This key is copper, it should be the bronze key." ”
I didn't get the bronze key, Xu Buhuo's eyes obviously changed when he looked at me, but he didn't say anything to let me take out the key, and said, "Since you have found it, then you have to think about whether to give it to him or not." ”
Throwing down this sentence, Xu Buhuo turned around and went back to the room, seemingly uncurious about this matter.
Looking at his back, I had mixed feelings. Knowing this move just now and his previous performance, Xu Buhuo felt uncomfortable.
At first, he was really concerned about this matter, but he took the initiative to talk to me and was pretended to be stupid and perfunctory, and he didn't give the key when he wanted to see it just now, which made him very unhappy.
Is that wrong?
Although I know that being suspicious and curious is my shortcoming, what happened still makes me can't help but have suspicions again, and then I wonder why that scene happened before, whether Xu Buhuo's intention here is to help or if there is something else.
My mother cried for a while and felt better, so I sent her back to her room, and Stone got up to take my place. Even though I wasn't very sleepy, I went into the room and lay down.
Looking at the flickering lights of the soul returning lamp, thinking back to Xu Buhuo's previous efforts, I also wanted to believe him, but when I thought of the scene where he and Uncle Qin secretly came into contact, I couldn't tell the anger in my heart.
I didn't want to be taken away by someone on the bronze key I got on the last day, so I found a red thread and tied it around my neck, and then slowly fell asleep.
The bronze key found this, and the stone also knew, and as soon as I got up, he found me and asked, "Meridian, what are you going to do?" ”
Earlier, Xu Buhuo was very sure that he would not be able to hand over the key to Uncle Qin, and it was clear that he wanted the fat man to wait for death. The relationship between the stone and the fat man is the same as mine, now that the key is found, it's time to make a decision, he wants to know what my attitude is.
"What else can I do, of course, hand over the key to save my life."
This decision was a long time ago that I had planned, and it would not change no matter what. Especially since my father personally delivered the keys last night, I was sure that I had made the right decision.
If grandma was to exchange the lives of the fat man and Cao Guangshan for the lives of the people in the village as Xu Buhuo thought, she would never let her father send the bronze key. She asked my father to bring the keys, which was a sign that she supported my plan.
first gave the key to Uncle Qin, saved Cao Guangshan and the fat man, and then went to block Uncle Qin's plan.
"Good brother, I didn't mistake you at the beginning." The stone gave me a hug.
After a while, Xu Bu came to life, he was obviously still angry about what happened last night, no one paid attention to it, dragged a stool to the corner of the wall and lay half-dead in the sun.
Looking at his actions, I knew that he was really angry and didn't want to care about it anymore. Such a good relationship suddenly became like this, I couldn't help but want to have a showdown with him, but I couldn't open my mouth, so I had no choice but to give up.
The bronze key is found, all I want to do is to find Uncle Qin, and then exchange it back for the souls of Cao Guangshan and the fat man.
After lunch, thinking of seeing Uncle Qin and Xu Buhuo before, I quietly handed over the bronze key to the stone and asked him to keep it, and then went out to the mountain alone, ready to go to Heishuigou to talk to Uncle Qin about the conditions.
On the way up the mountain, I turned around to look at the rear, expecting Xu Buhuo to follow behind, but I turned around again and again, and there was nothing behind.
When I arrived at Heishuigou, I opened my throat and shouted, "Old thing, I found the key, come out if you want it." ”
Little by little, the echo decreased, and the surroundings were withered and dark, so quiet that no insects could hear a sound.
Soon, there was a sound of footsteps in the grass on the side, and Uncle Qin walked out with a smile and said, "Did you really find it?" ”
My hand was in my pocket, clutching the jumping knife that had been opened, looking at Uncle Qin's disgusting face, I wanted to rush up and stab him twice, so that he would know that Xiao Ye was not easy to mess with.
"Found it, but you'll have to revive them first, and I'll give you the key only if I'm sure they're okay."
That's what I'm here for.
If you lose once, you won't lose twice.
Uncle Qin's fickle face let me know that I must not let him be restrained again, and take the lead in giving him the bronze key, if he is not trustworthy, the result will be in vain.
The two of them woke up and gave the key again.
"Meridian, do you think you said that I would believe it when you found it? You think I didn't look for the key? Uncle Qin sat down on the grass and said, "Since you have found it, then you can take it out and I will take a look." ”
"Old thing, you think I'm going to bring it to you?"
Speaking of this, all kinds of unhappiness came to me in my heart, and I said very unceremoniously: "Why do you think I can still trust you?" Believe it or not, it's your business, I'm here to tell you, if you want the bronze key, let my two friends wake up first. ”
Only by grasping the initiative can we have the right to speak.
Before I came, I thought that I could no longer follow Uncle Qin's words to do things, the bronze key was in my hand, and I had the right to speak.
After saying that, I turned around and left without looking back.
"Wait."
I turned around and said, "There's a fart." ”
"Quite simply, I just want to know, where did you find the key?"
Where is the bronze key hidden, Uncle Qin is obviously looking for it secretly, and he didn't find it before he came to force me, I know that he asked like this, just to make sure if I really found the bronze key, and he didn't hide it, saying, "My dad personally sent it last night." ”
Uncle Qin raised his eyebrows, as if he was a little surprised, and muttered: "It turned out to be on him, no wonder, no wonder, haha, Ziwu, your grandmother is really calculating, I really didn't expect this method." ”
I didn't bother to take care of it, I turned my head and continued walking, and Uncle Qin's voice came up: "When you get home, the two of you will wake up." When it gets dark, I'll come to get the key, you'd better not play tricks on me, since I can take their souls once, I can take them twice, dare to play with me, and the next time I won't lose my soul but collect the corpse. ”
When I turned around, Uncle Qin had already left.
Thinking back to his words, I thought to myself that I didn't dare to play tricks with the guts, others didn't care about the lives of the people around me, I couldn't not care. By now, I know how ruthless Uncle Qin's methods are.
I trotted all the way home, and as soon as I entered the door, I saw the fat man coming out of the hall with the help of the stone, and Cao Guangshan following behind.
So fast?
I don't know how Uncle Qin did it, so that the souls of the two could return so quickly, but seeing that the two of them were fine, my hanging heart finally fell, and I took the bronze key back from the stone hand and put it away.
The soul is separated from the body, the body is deficient in yang energy, and basking in the sun is a way to replenish yang energy.
Neither of them knew how they could suddenly do this, so I explained it to them and told them what they could do to get back to their senses quickly.
"Ziwu, do you remember what I asked me to check?" Cao Guangshan said suddenly.
I nodded, glanced into the room, and knew that this matter was a little difficult to talk about on the surface, so I helped Cao Guangshan to the door.
"I checked, he has no problem, he does have a twin brother who died not long ago, I also went to Xishan Village, and the results are the same as what you said, and I also found out that there was a bizarre murder case in the county, do you know who handled it?" Cao Guangshan looked mysterious and sold it to me.
Hearing this, I immediately felt that something was wrong, and said impatiently, "Say it quickly." ”
It seemed that something was wrong, Cao Guangshan didn't dare to laugh, and said: "He and your grandmother, a lot of people died in that case, all of them died inexplicably, and it was a big trouble, and in the end, the leader came forward to invite your grandmother, and your grandmother asked him to invite him, and the two of them closed the case together." ”
Xu Buhuo and his grandmother really know each other.
I wronged Xu Bu to live, turned around and rushed into the house to look for him, and was curious where the people went, when the stone said: "Let's go, he packed up his things and left not long after you went out before, I asked him what he was going to, and he said to go home." ”
gone, Xu Buhuo is gone because of my suspicions.
I know I was wrong.
Or a big mistake.
