Chapter 2: Who I Am: VIII. Why Me
Li Lili looked at me in disbelief, "Didn't we even have a gun just now, did you find a better weapon than a gun?" Otherwise, what are we going to do? That's not to put people in one pot, but to gather them together to make people happy?! ”
I said, "There are no absolutes, it's different in that barren mountain, you know." ”
Ruoyu smiled, "Why did you suddenly become so proud, what did you stimulate?" ”
I said, "It's not like you're hugging that one!" ”
Ruoyu said, "This is not like you, you have always only had Ah Mei in your eyes, and you don't even look at other beauties!" ”
I said, "This time and that time." When I came back from Tibet for a year, I was fasting and was about to become a monk. You still use me as Megumi Yanagishita! ”
Li Lili smiled, "Who are you fooling?" When I called today, there was still the sound of girls whispering inside. ”
I said, "Just cheat!" ”
Ruoyu said, "Why do you go off topic while talking?" Can you shine a light on your tricks? ”
I said, "Now that science and technology are so advanced, can we find something more effective than a gun?" For example, the tranquilizer gun, which can even take down an elephant. ”
Li Lili said, "The effect of the tranquilizer gun is also good. But the movement of the thousand-faced beast was too fast, and I was afraid that it would not be easy to hit. ”
I said, "Then use the net first." You've all seen fishing cannons on TV, right? It's the kind that pops the ground and a big net is thrown out. It is said that there are small ones for this thing, so let's use this thing to cast a big net first, and then use the tranquilizer gun after the Thousand Faces Beast is caught in the net. ”
Li Lili still shook his head, "I'm afraid it's still not good, the power of the Thousand-Faced Beast is too great, and the ordinary net will tear it apart as soon as it reaches out, and it's useless at all." ”
I said, "Then get a strong net so that it can't be torn apart." Then we get some wolf repellent or something to spray at it so that it loses the power to resist, and then we hit it with a tranquilizer gun. ”
Ruoyu put her arms on the table at this time, she looked at me and Li Lili with her hands on her cheeks, and said, "Are you telling a story?" ”
Li Lili smiled and said to me, "Can you say something practical and useful?" ”
I looked at Ruoyu and said, "You can think about the weapon again, there are always more ways than problems." First, how about going to the lair of the Thousand-Faced Beast? ”
Ruoyu said, "Instead of sitting and waiting, it is better to take the initiative." There is no better way for us to do this. ”
Looking at Ruoyu's seemingly hesitant appearance, I secretly laughed in my heart. I knew she was pretending to be trying to get a hold of me. She didn't know that Ah Mei's sister had approached me and told me about her plan to go into Tibet again. The reason why I brought it up first was just to test her and give her a step by the way. Because I always had a doubt in my heart that I needed her to tell me.
In the end, we decided to go ahead with this plan. Ruoyu said that she would still do the preparatory work in the early stage, and Li Li and I would tell her what we needed, and she would arrange it.
After eating, Li Lili received a phone call, and then became mysterious. After a while, he deduced that there was something temporary, and he had to take the first step.
Before leaving, Li Lili pulled me aside, saying that there was something he had to tell me. Looking at his solemn appearance, I was a little curious.
Li Lili said, "I'm with Xiaoxiao now, you won't blame me, right?" ”
I said, "That's it?" I'll tell you the truth, you don't have to worry about me at all, the relationship between me and Xiaoxiao is purer than a blank piece of paper. ”
Li Lili said, "You really don't blame me? ”
I said, "What do you blame?" You apologized a year ago, and I said I wouldn't do it. You can do whatever you want after that, and it has nothing to do with me. ”
Li Lili's eyes were a little grateful, and he said, "Since I experienced those things in Tibet last year, I feel that I should cherish everyone around me." After all, Xiaoxiao and I had a wedding, and all my relatives and friends knew about it. Although it is a fake wedding, a fake wedding is also a wedding. I should be responsible for Xiaoxiao. So I decided to be with Xiaoxiao. ”
I said, "Xiaoxiao is a very good girl, treat her well!" ”
After Li Lili left, Ruoyu suggested finding a quiet bar or café to sit in, and she still had something to talk to me about. I said I had the same intention, and I had something to ask her. Ruoyu said she knew what I wanted to ask. She promised, and she will tell me in detail today.
We found a café not far from the subway exit in Sports West. One of us asked for a cup of coffee. Ruoyu took a sip of coffee and said slowly, "Don't you just want to know, why did I find you?" But it's a long story. ”
I said, "No hurry, what I have is time." ”
Ruoyu took another sip of coffee and said, "This has to start with an archaeological activity. A few years ago, when I had just graduated from college, I went to the northern steppes with an archaeological team to participate in an archaeological activity. The event went well at first, but near the end, something very strange happened. When several workers were excavating, they dug out a broken tombstone, the tombstone was engraved with clear and legible words, the owner of the tombstone was called Yan Yan, the strange thing is the year of Yan Yan's birth and death, the tombstone was engraved on: Yan Yan was born in June 1982 and died in August of the third year of Song Shaosheng. The third year of Song Shaosheng is the year of the reign of Zhao Xu of Song Zhezong, and when converted to the current year, it should be 1096 AD. In other words, Yan Yan, who was born in 1982 AD, died 900 years ago. This can't help but make people wonder, how should this Yan Yan's age be calculated? At first, the staff of the archaeological team thought that this was just a prank, because it was simply an anti-natural thing and could not be established. So everyone just laughed, and no one took it seriously. But a Beijing worker had a different idea: he transported the tombstone, which had been discarded by the archaeological team, back to Beijing and asked his colleagues to test the tombstone using the most advanced technology. As a result, the tombstone was engraved at the same time as the year of Yan Yan's death engraved on the tombstone. The man then returned to the grassland to find the tomb of this man named Yan Yan. ”
Ruoyu looked at me and said, "This is just the beginning. After leaving the grassland that year, I returned to my hometown. Since I didn't have a job for a while, I had a lot of time. One day, on a whim, I opened the computer of my sister Ruoyun, who had not heard from me for two or three years, and accidentally found a document on her computer, which contained a list of tour groups spontaneously formed by travelers. There were twenty people on the list, each with their CV and ID number. It includes my sister Ruoyun. ”
