Chapter 2: A Millennial Ice City Under Drift Ice
The owner of the antique belt is Li Jinyuan, the only survivor who disappeared for a month after being swallowed by drift ice fifteen years ago, and he and his family have been here for ten years.
After the man in the fox whistle looked for him at noon, he closed the door of the shop early, went out and rode a shared bicycle to the vegetable market, where he bought some vegetables and went home.
When he got home and finished cooking, it was already past six o'clock in the afternoon, and then he went back to the bedroom and took a notebook and pen back to the living room, and then wrote something on the notebook with a pen.
It is more appropriate to draw than to write, because he is not writing on it, but drawing something. The things he painted are also strange, not landscape figures or animals, but a bunch of incomprehensible symbols, which are miscellaneous and dizzy.
"Dad, I'm back." The eighteen-year-old boy who spoke was Li Jinyuan's son Li Bing, he came in and said hello, and then walked straight to Li Jinyuan's side, "Dad, you have been drawing on it all day, what are you drawing?" ”
"Don't ask what children shouldn't ask, hurry up and finish eating and doing homework." Li Jinyuan took a pen and gently pinched his son's head, "Your score last semester was a bit low, and you are about to take the college entrance examination, is it possible that your kid still wants to repeat it?" ”
"Uh-huh (three sounds)." Li Bing took down the chicken leg in his mouth and shook his head, "I don't want to repeat my studies, if you can't get into college, I'll help you work in the store." ”
"You kid, don't go and make trouble for Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu would rather spend money to find a relationship than send you to college, so as not to watch you hang in front of your eyes all day long."
"Am I still your own son!" Li Jinyuan glanced at his lips and sighed like his father sighed, "Alas, everyone wants their son to be by their side, it's good for you to think about how to push me away all day long." ”
"You kid Shaogen Lao Tzu is poor, hurry up and finish eating and doing your homework, and I won't teach you feng shui at night if you can't finish your homework."
Li Bing hadn't seen his mother since he could remember, and his father hadn't mentioned it to him, and he hadn't asked, he had a good relationship with his father, saying that it was a father-son relationship, but in fact, it was more like a brother, almost anything could be said between the two, and even any joke could be made.
He has been with his father since he was a child, and he has also followed the archaeological team to the tomb several times, and he loves the process of going down the tomb and the mysterious things inside, especially he also loves to read tomb robbery novels.
For Feng Shui, the Five Elements Bagua I Ching and other metaphysics, he is much more serious than going to school to listen to lectures, no one needs to teach, he took the initiative to go to his father to learn, and even tomb robbery He is also involved, of course, it is all seen from the Internet, it is estimated that even if his father understands, it is unlikely to teach him the knowledge of tomb robbing.
So as soon as he heard that his father didn't teach him Feng Shui, he immediately quieted down and began to quickly pull the rice in the bowl, and the bowl of rice was eaten by him in less than a minute.
"I'm done eating, my homework will be done immediately, you said you want to teach me Feng Shui, don't regret it."
"You kid is looking for a smoke, when did Lao Tzu lie to you." Li Jinyuan's right hand holding the pen was raised high, making a gesture to fight, Li Bing, the kid, smiled at it, picked up his schoolbag and ran back to his cabin, and then began to do his homework seriously.
"Alas, this kid doesn't have a big or small character, and I don't know who he followed." Li Jinyuan shook his head with a wry smile, picked up the pen and was about to continue to draw those incomprehensible symbols in the notebook, when a vigorous and powerful voice sounded outside the door.
"Who is your son like, not like you kid, your kid didn't get angry with you and me at the beginning."
"Dad, why are you here!" Li Jinyuan was very surprised, you must know that the place where his father Li Zhanjun lives is not close to him, not to mention two or three hundred kilometers away, he never thought that the old man would come so late.
"When I was a child, I was much more obedient than this kid, so why did you come to me so late, and you didn't notify me in advance, I went to the station to pick you up!"
"Why, it's not welcome, it's not welcome, I'm not welcome, I'm leaving." After Li Zhanjun finished speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave, but he scared Li Jinyuan on the side, hurriedly got up and chased after him, and helped the old man to the chair.
"I didn't mean to bomb you away, are you in a hurry when you come so late?"
"What can I do, isn't it the same thing you mentioned to me more than ten years ago." Li Zhanjun took the tea handed over by Li Jinyuan, took a sip and continued: "I have found a lot of people in the industry over the years, and I finally found some useful information. ”
"You mean drift ice!" Li Jinyuan's eyes widened, a little incredulous, he himself has been investigating the drift ice for so many years, but what he found was only some useless information, and his father was able to find out important information about the drift ice, which greatly surprised him.
"What kind of expression is this kid, don't believe it or what?" Li Zhanjun got up and put his hands behind his back, looking like a master in the world, and looked at his son Li Jinyuan very proudly, "It's not your old son who brags, except for a few old guys who do our business, there are really few people who know about the things in the drift ice." ”
Li Jinyuan frowned sometimes and clenched his fists, and finally said slowly, as if he had made some huge decision: "Dad, there was something I didn't tell anyone fifteen years ago, but I actually ......."
"Don't say it yet, be careful that the wall has ears!" Li Zhanjun made a silent gesture, and then after closing the doors and windows in the house, he looked at his son with a serious face, "Have you ever been to the Millennium Ice City!" ”
"You, how do you know?" Li Jinyuan was very surprised, after he was swallowed by drift ice, he unknowingly arrived in a huge ice cave, and then in order to find an exit, he coincidentally walked to a hall the size of two football fields, where there was an ice city made of ice.
At that time, he was going to go to the ice city to find out, but not long after entering, he encountered danger, and almost died because of it, there are mechanisms everywhere, and there are similar zombies in the movie, but the zombies there are not called zombies, but an existence called a wandering corpse, which is still a clue he learned in a room in the ice city.
It is said that drift ice is alive and can move on its own, while a wandering corpse is a person who is invaded by drift ice and thus moves itself in the body to control the person's actions, so it is called a wandering corpse.
What kind of existence does drift ice have?
No one knows that they have a special sense of all objects and creatures whose temperature is above freezing, but anything within their sensing range will become the target of their attack, and if they are invaded by drift ice, they will become wandering corpses.
Li Jinyuan didn't go too deep into the ice city at that time, but walked around the periphery, relying on some compressed biscuits on his body, and spent more than half a month eating ice, and finally didn't want to be discovered by the wandering corpses, and he didn't know what mechanism he touched under the escape, and fell into a bottomless ice cave, when he opened his eyes again and regained consciousness, he found that he had come out of it, and it was still at the foot of a certain mountain in Hailuogou Glacier.
He didn't talk to anyone about this matter, even if he said it when he came out, it is estimated that no one would believe it, Hailuogou Glacier does not know how many times it has been searched, and no shadow of the ice city has been found, in fact, he himself thought that he was swallowed by drift ice, and he was in a coma just a dream, so he didn't talk to others for so many years.
"Don't forget, you kid, what our ancestors did, I'm afraid there are only people like us who can know this."
"What do you mean!" Li Jinyuan knows very well what his ancestors did, he has been robbing tombs since his grandfather's generation, and their Li family used to be a very famous tomb robbing school, his father said that only people like them know about it, that explains!
"Isn't that an ice city at all, but a huge ice tomb......!"
