"Do you know my grandfather?"

I shuddered, I never thought I would meet my grandfather's old friend here.

When I hesitated, I saw the red carp nodding at me, as if he wanted me to go over and have a look, hesitated, and still walked to the door with courage.

The wolf demon and the fire fox have been standing at the door without moving, staring at the house, not showing any emotion, seeing us coming over and retreating to both sides, and then listening to the old man in the house said: "You guys wait at the door, I will talk to the old man later, and it will be fine soon." ”

Although the voice was flat, the unquestionable tone in his ears made the red carp and Liu Sanshou stop in unison.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

He gave them a calm look, stretched out his hand and pushed the door open, and at first saw no one but a wooden table soaked with moisture, on which was a white candle, and the dim light illuminated the room, and a rickety figure was reflected on the wall.

The owner of the figure was stuck in the blind corner of his vision, unable to see anything, took a deep breath, and stepped in.

The furnishings in the room were even more shabby than I expected, except for the table, there were only two wooden stools that stood opposite each other, and on the chair in the back sat a man, hidden in the dark light and shadow, and I couldn't see it clearly, and when I walked in and came to the opposite of the man, a dried corpse appeared in front of me.

But this dried corpse is not the same as the dried corpses of the devils we saw in the Japanese camp before, the clothes on the body have been rotted into strips of rags, and the atrophied muscles have begun to blacken, layer by layer on the bones, like a skeleton covered with a layer of skin, but the moisture on the skin and flesh is still there, I don't know if it is a special method used, or it is affected by the rich water vapor here.

"Scared?"

Seeing that I was standing there and lost my mind, the flesh of the man's mouth pulled out an expression that seemed to be a smile, and then stretched out a thin black hand like a chicken's paw and knocked on the table and said, "Sit down." ”

I swallowed and moved my ass to the bench directly opposite the old man, and as soon as I sat down, I heard a squeak, obviously overwhelmed, and I was so frightened that I stood up again.

The man smiled, didn't care, pushed a tea bowl on the table to me, and said, "Drink it, it's windy on the river, otherwise your body and bones won't be able to stand it." ”

I looked down at the tea bowl of water suspiciously, it felt like a bowl of white water, I couldn't see anything special, but it reminded me of the bowl of tea I drank in the tea shop in front of Rakshasa City that day, I don't know if the two will have the same effect, and before I determined the identity of the dried corpse in front of me, I didn't dare to drink this bowl of water for the time being.

"Well, it's always a good idea to keep an eye out there."

When the man saw me like this, he nodded, picked up the tea bowl on the table and drank it all and said, "As a descendant of the Jiuquan River Patrolman, I am a little smiling at this little thing. ”

I shook my head and said, "Do you really know my grandfather?" ”

The man shook his head and said, "I know, I don't know." ”

I frowned and said, "What do you mean?" ”

"I also forgot the last time I saw you Bai family members, I just remember that day there was a Bai family member who had not yet come to Jiuquan Mansion to report and work, so he came here to tell me that his grandson would come here to find me in eighteen years, and asked me to do him a great favor, and when he dies and becomes a Jiuquan River Patrolman, he will help me get out of here to report."

After speaking, the man sighed a little melancholy and said, "I didn't expect that eighteen years have passed in a blink of an eye, I thought it would take a long time, this place is too lonely, too lonely." ”

Eighteen years?

I listened to the straight tooth Hanako, the Bai family who looked for him needless to say must be my grandfather, but how would he know that I would find this place, and it was eighteen years ago, could it be that when I was born, he knew where I was going in this life, what I was doing, and who I was seeing, this is too terrifying.

And if this is the case, then no matter what effort I make in my life, won't I have to live under his layout, become a pawn in his chess game, and be at the mercy of him?

I exhaled softly, not allowing myself to think about this for a moment, looked at the man and asked, "What did my grandfather ask you to do him a favor?" ”

The man thought for a moment and said, "Cross the river with you." ”

"What river to cross?" I was puzzled.

"Youquan River."

"But isn't the Youquan River drying up, and why should I cross the river, after crossing the river, it will be the Nine Prisons and Nine Springs, I still have important things to do, and I don't want to go to that place for the time being." I said.

The man shook his head and said, "The spring is exhausted, and this place has long been unable to be connected with the Nine Prisons and Nine Springs, but you have an account that must be settled here, otherwise, there will definitely be a great disaster in the future, and the gods and ghosts will not help." ”

I was frightened by his righteous words, and vaguely felt that this guy should not lie to me, and subconsciously asked, "What account?" ”

"Excess."

The man said lightly: "This is not only your account, but also your grandfather's account, in short, one of you two must have to repay the debt, as for whether you can pay it back, how much you can repay, it all depends on your own ability." ”

I was silent for a while, this is not the first time I have heard the word "debt repayment", my father said that in order to let me live, my grandfather had made a grand vow to cross all the corpses that died in the Yellow River, which was the first account; And my father is now in Rakshasa City to pay off the debts for me to the villagers of Sanchawan, this is the second account, and now, it is finally my turn.

"Can you tell me how this account is owed, and even if it is repaid, I have to see the IOU, right?" I thought about it and said.

The man laughed and said, "I just take care of the people, no matter how much else, if you really have the ability, you might as well ask them personally, maybe you can ask one or two." ”

They?

Just when I was confused, the man changed the subject and said, "The wolf demon and the blood fox outside the door, are you sure you want to take them away?" ”

Blood fox?

I was stunned for a moment, and then said with some confusion: "I don't know, I just want them to help me find the Grass King, as for whether to follow me or not, it all depends on its own meaning." ”

The man nodded after hearing this, and said lightly outside the door: "But did you hear it?" ”

There was no response outside the door, but there was a moment of restlessness, and then I heard him continue: "For the sake of the face of the descendants of the Bai family, I don't care about the matter of the two of you escaping from Youquan Prison without permission, but since you have signed a contract, you still have to keep your duty, and being able to follow the descendants of the Jiuquan River Patrol into the world to cultivate is not only a blessing, but also an opportunity, and it will be of great benefit to you to break through the current bottleneck." ”

Then he turned his empty eyes to me and said, "That woman on you is very powerful." ”

Wei Junyao?

I stared at the man suspiciously, not knowing how to mention her for no reason, and hesitated what to say in my head, when I heard him say meaningfully: "That woman, I seem to have seen it." ”

"You've seen it?"

I stared at the person in front of me in surprise, but I couldn't see a trace of change on that skinny face, I just opened and closed my mouth and said: "At that time, the Youquan River did not dry up, the spring did not dry up, and the Youquan City here was still one of the nine major city prisons, and everything was going on in an orderly manner, but since this woman appeared, everything has changed. ”

I was a little flustered when I heard this, and I couldn't believe it, and said, "You mean that Youquan City is now in ruins, and she did it all alone?" ”

The man was silent for a moment, and did not answer me, but sighed and said, "Killing is only because of love and hate, and the ripples that stir up rotate the attachment of love; Even if you can cross the same boat with a hundred generations, and transfer to the three-inch Jinglun, after all, the song will end up and people will be scattered, and the past will be down. ”

After speaking, he sighed to himself, got up and took the white wax on the table in his hand, came to the door and said, "Let's go, the bitter sea is rising, it's time to pay off the debt." ”

Oliver?

My heart jumped, and I hurriedly followed, watching the man go straight to the back of the hut, holding a small boat in one hand, walking to the river seemingly effortlessly, throwing the boat into the river, splashing a splash, and then standing on the boat with white wax and saying: "The bitter sea is endless, turn back to the shore, Bai family boy, ask again, this debt, is it you to pay it, or your grandfather to pay it?" ”()
