Chapter 27: Uncle Geng's Thoughts

The fog was still very strong, and the fear in my heart masked my deep curiosity, and I didn't have so many worries about what I would encounter next, just move forward.

Xiao He is like a rootless duckweed floating on the surface of the lake, he has always been a person who can't be idle, and hiding in the mountains these days is enough for him to panic.

Now I finally met a person who can see through himself and is willing to listen to a word or two about himself. Although the days with the weirdo are only less than a day, and she always likes to play tricks on herself according to common sense, he feels that she is inexplicably kind.

He remembered that when he was very young, Uncle Geng said to him that people like him were not worthy of sympathy, and sooner or later he would kill everything around him.

At that time, he didn't understand, although he could see that Uncle Geng was estranged from him on weekdays, but his grandmother still loved him as always.

He didn't dare to ask for too much, these little tenderness was a gift from heaven to him at that time.

Uncle Geng is a capable man, although he eats the government's salary, he is not a qualified socialist successor, at least he is not an atheist.

On the contrary, the Yan family was still a well-known family of warlocks in the former Northland, and three generations of ancestors were ghost hunters in Maoshan and ate a bowl of errand rice from the rivers and lakes. It is also a little famous in such a small town as the Northland, but then it declined for some reason, and the last generation of Taoist priests went down the mountain to return to the position of the head of the family.

But it didn't take long for the Taoist priest to fall ill, perhaps because he knew that his life would not be long, he raised a baby boy from the Yan family who was next to him and hung it in his name, and the baby boy was five years old, and the Taoist priest was also killed.

The baby boy is very weird, he inherited the family business of the Yan family after the death of the Taoist priest, he is obviously a child but has the means of adults, and he is also familiar with some Maoshan secret arts, and can ask ghosts and gods to help distinguish right from wrong.

Later, the child died when he was twenty years old, and died in a fire on the night of his birthday, along with the branches of the Yan family who came from other places to congratulate him.

Different from the fireworks celebrated by the Lou family, the fire was burned in the middle of the night, coming out from all directions, quietly, and every family rested peacefully. It is said that the fire that day was very strong, and the wind was also very strong, and the fire burned more and more vigorously, and finally burned the Yan family's century-old family business.

Only a few escaped from the fire unharmed, while the rest were either killed or wounded, and the prodigy head of the Yan family was already a charred corpse when he was found afterwards.

The position of the head of the family has always been passed on to men rather than women, and the superior must have both talent and character, and it is absolutely impossible for people with disabilities to have disabilities.

After the fire, the only person who was closest to the main clan in the blood met all the conditions was a child, and the child was brought out of the fire pit by a woman, and she was the wife of the prodigy family head Yan Weixiao.

In the years that followed, the child seemed to have inherited the lifelong learning of Yan Xuannan, the last Maoshan Taoist priest of the Yan family, and Yan Weichao. After becoming the head of the family, the miscellaneous side door and left path techniques were refined a lot, but the Yan family was scattered under him, and the side bottom collapsed.

As a result, he became the only descendant of the Yan family, because the last Yan family had long since left the Northland, and they had long forgotten the belief that their ancestors had been waiting in the Northland for generations.

Later, after a few years in the Northland, he also left, not forgetting his beliefs, but looking for new ones.

That child is the last head of the Yan family, and he is also the current Yan Geng.

These are the stories that Uncle Geng told in his ears when he was a child, and he only thought it was a story at that time. After all, the Northland is too far away from Qingzhou, who would have thought that the coming and going of one person could connect two places that are not related?

Because he knows some things from the side, Uncle Geng's hunch is always better than others, like a goddess, his eyes can see a lot of things. Others are fortune tellers, he is a peeping fate, Xiao He remembers that when he was very young, Uncle Geng thought that he didn't remember anything at that time, so he inadvertently said that his life would kill many people. It was from then on that he began to unintentionally distance himself.

It was an accident, and for many days to come, he could feel Uncle Geng enter his house in half a dream, fold the quilt for him, and muttered the same sentence to himself: "You will kill many people." ”

Uncle Geng worked for the seven places, and he was also brought into the seven places by Uncle Geng, and the seven places were for the government, as for what he did, he never knew.

After his grandmother died, he has always been a free-range child, living on his own. He remembered that one morning, Uncle Geng suddenly came back, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Uncle Geng sitting on the sofa staring at him, and when he woke up, he didn't say anything, just took out a cigarette and smoked endlessly, as if he was full of sorrow, and only in this way could he be released.

At last, when the man in the closed room was choking like a fog and couldn't open his eyes, he said, "Come with me to a place, go, and say nothing but what I agreed, and do nothing." Just pretend to be ......" He glanced at him, and Xiao He always felt that he was a piece of fat with a clear price waiting to be sold, "Pretend to be dumb and stupid!" That way, it's fine. ”

In the days that followed, he became a member of the so-called Seventh Division, and he spent three months of decent military training, and then he was idle. He took those things that Uncle Geng didn't let him do, and he never dared to take a step beyond Lei Chi.

Uncle Geng has always been a secretive person, he doesn't say much, he always likes to hit the nail on the head when talking about problems, although he always deliberately distances himself, but whenever he is uneasy, he can always appear in time as if he has a telepathy.

But at this time, Xiao He, who had become a flying man, couldn't imagine where Uncle Geng would appear and in what way.

Or perhaps, everything is too much for him.

Ever since Uncle Geng started hiding from the cats, he may have been gone. The so-called hide and seek is just a farce directed and acted by the people behind it, in order to lead himself to show his feet.

However, what do you have to show your feet? A very important part of the reason why he hid in the mountains was because of Uncle Geng, who once said ambiguously, "If it's gone, it means that things have deviated, if you're okay, we'll all be fine." ”

This can be regarded as a dream, many years ago, when Uncle Geng was still drinking in front of him, he once said it in a daze when he was drunk.

Xiao He can remember it so clearly, it is entirely because when he helped Uncle Geng to rest, he suddenly soberly muttered in his ear as if he was not intoxicated, "You have to remember this sentence." ”

Then, Uncle Geng collapsed softly again, and at that time, he didn't look like a drunk person at all with the strength of his shoulder. So, this record is many years.

It's just that "you" refers to yourself, but what about "us"? In this world, he only has one relative left, Uncle Geng. Where does "we" come from?
