A great sadness hung over Pudding and me, and as we looked at the fire, our tears had already burst into our eyes. I've lived thirty-four years, and I've never cried so much as I do today. I lay at the mouth of the cave, looking at the half-burned human skin puppet, and the anger in my heart rose violently, and I scolded my grandmother, and then I didn't even ignore the pudding's obstruction, and jumped into the flipper.

Beneath the flap, there are still a few flames, but they don't pose any threat to me. I rushed to the side of the puppet, and with a rage that completely lost my mind, I lifted my foot and kicked the puppet to a pulp. But the face of the human skin puppet kept a strange smile, as if it was a kind of banter and mockery of me. It was like telling me that it wasn't going to work for it.

I cursed another vicious swear word and stomped on the head of the human skin puppet, but at that moment, I suddenly heard a voice as faint as an ant-mosquito say to me: "Give me a cigarette to smoke." ”

I turned my head and saw that it was the dying old Lu. At this moment, his whole body was burned, and everything except his teeth and eyes were charred from beginning to end. I ran to Lao Lu's side in astonishment and shouted at him, "Commander Lu! You hold on, I'll take you to the hospital right now. ”

Lao Lu smiled slightly, laughing very miserably.

He couldn't move anymore, and after a soft sigh, he said to me in a weak voice, "I'm hopeless." ”

I choked up and said, "Captain Lu, don't say such unlucky words, I'll carry you, let's go to the hospital, and save you." ”

Lao Lu shook his head gently, and his speed of speech was so slow that he almost spit out word by word, and he said to me: "Let's not talk about this, I know my own life, my intestines have been burned through, and I can't be saved." Light a cigarette for me and let me go. ”

Hearing Lao Lu's words, I couldn't help crying again. I nodded, took out a cigarette from my pocket, lit it, and gently put it in Lao Lu's mouth. He took a puff and seemed to feel a little lighter. So he said to me: "Don't be sad, my old Lu died not at all, my husband Ma Ge shrouded his body, died on the way to kill the enemy, this is the best destination." I have a few things to tell you. ”

I knelt beside Lao Lu, wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes, and choked up, "You say." ”

Lao Lu took another puff of cigarette into his lungs, and after slowly exhaling it, he said to me in a hoarse voice: "The living dead jade is in the lakeside hut where you and I met, this is the most important thing, you must find the other three pieces and piece them together into an ancient mask, I only know that this mask hides the biggest secret in the world." ”

I nodded, "I understand." ”

Lao Lu teary-eyed: "My little granddaughter's life depends on you." ”

I cried and nodded: "Lao Lu, don't worry, leave it to me." ”

Lao Lu nodded with relief, and his face suddenly looked much better, and even his arms could be raised. But I panicked all of a sudden, because I knew that this was not a good sign, this was the last return to light before death, and my grandfather was like this before he died, his eyes were shiny, his face was ruddy, and his brain was clear, but he didn't hold on for a while and then he died.

At this time, Lao Lu suddenly grabbed my hand, the power of the palm was so strong that the hand that grabbed me was bloodshot. He stared at a pair of eyes like bull's eyes, and said to me word by word: "Go to him, go to him!" Without that man to help you, you won't find the Living Dead Jade! ”

I was startled and hurriedly asked, "Who?" ”

Lao Lu's face suddenly lost its bloody color for a moment, his heart suddenly stopped beating, and at the moment before he lost his breath, Lao Lu used the last breath of his life to say the man's name:

"Old lad!"

Lao Lu held my hand and gradually became cold, I knew that Lao Lu was gone...... I sat down on the floor with a puff, and I didn't need to say much about my feelings. The pudding on the flap had witnessed what had just happened, and she didn't say anything to comfort me, just bit her lip tightly and shed tears.

I wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes and stopped crying. Lao Lu is right, the eldest husband Ma Leather shrouded in an earth-shattering battle and ended his life, this is not the romance of being a man. Instead of grieving here, it is better to fulfill Lao Lu's last wish and find the other three pieces of living dead jade, which is the best tribute to the dead Lao Lu.

I kicked the remains of the human skin puppets on the ground far away one by one with my feet to clear a clean place for Lao Lu's corpse. Then I took off my coat and gently covered Lao Lu's body. Then I walked over to the rope, and the pudding pulled on it, and I climbed hard at the bottom, and although I was fast, I finally climbed up the flap with little by little movements. Pudding and I took one last look at Lao Lu's corpse below, and then covered the flap forever.

Pudding and I supported each other, and step by step we touched the darkness and walked out of the grave where we came. A ray of warm sunlight sprinkled on the faces of the two of us, but it was not beautiful at all, but rather sad. There were five of us when we went in, and when we came out, it was just me and Pudding.

After I was completely safe, as soon as I was relieved, I lay down on the ground with the two "big" characters of pudding, and then I felt a kind of tiredness that my eyes had never seen before spread all over my body, and even my bones were soft. After the two of us lay on the ground for a while, we regained a little bit of strength, and I told Pudding that it was not advisable to stay here for long, and that it was better to get out as soon as possible. So the two of us endured the soreness of the muscles all over the body, and did some treatment of the tomb entrance, I got some broken branches and rotten leaves, and the pudding got some dry soil, and cleaned it for half an hour, so that the tomb of Aunt Braided was once again sealed forever.

Pudding and I are now not physically strong enough to support us to go too far, plus both of us are disgraced, and the dirty body is as if we have just escaped from the mines in the Philippines, Pudding is not only dirty, but also full of blood, if we don't deal with it, no one will take a taxi, and it is easy to arouse the suspicion of outsiders.

So Pudding proposed, not tonight, go back to Granny Zhuang's Tianrenzhai to settle down temporarily, rest for the night, and then make plans tomorrow. Pudding's words were very reasonable, so we hit it off, and we returned from the gloomy grove where we came, to Granny Zhuang's heavenly and human fasting.
