Chapter Forty-Nine: The Three Mile River
The snow covered everything, and after a long trek, the three of us finally arrived at the boundary of the Sanli River, looking at the boundary monument erected, Chuang Ye breathed a sigh of relief. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
The mountains in the distance are connected, covered by snow, indescribably majestic, the sea will be ready to unload, find a vacant space, ready to make a fire to cook, this cold weather, to be able to eat a mouthful of hot food, has become my greatest luxury.
"God, we're almost there, just go over the hill in front, what you want to know, maybe it's in that tomb!" Chuang Ye looked at me with deep eyes, and he also knew a trace of information about the broken page, but he was not as comprehensive as Xiao Qi knew.
The sea set up an iron pot, grabbed a few handfuls of snow and put it in the pot, used gasoline as fuel, and after a while the snow turned into water, and poured the quick-frozen dumplings in the backpack into the pot, I smelled the fragrance wafting from the pot and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, after all, after a long trek, my stomach was already empty.
"We have to hurry on the road after eating, otherwise the road will be more difficult to walk at night!" Chuang Ye urged, and it could be seen that he attached great importance to it this time, after all, that ancient tomb had made him suffer a big loss.
Before dark, the three of us passed through layers of blockades and entered the deep mountains of the Sanli River, the snow was too thick to cover everything, and we paid special attention to the danger under our feet.
The sea took a wooden stick and walked in the front, and almost every time he landed, he had to use the stick in his hand to probe the thickness of the snow, in case the snow was empty, and it was very likely that it was an experienced hunter, and the trap was arranged, and if one was not careful, he could be killed.
"Wow wooh—" Rhubarb cried out for no reason, loud and loud, and the snow piled up on the treetops fell with the roar of the rhubarb, and strangely enough, I heard some mysterious sound, as if someone was laughing in my ear, which made me feel creepy.
"It's all mental, there's something weird about this place!" Chuang Ye's expression was solemn, even he smelled a trace of unusualness, and the sea was stunned, as if he had seen something, and he was speechless in horror.
Following the direction of his finger, I looked out a little unbelievable to my eyes, and the white snow not far away was swallowed up by a blood-like color at a rapid speed, as if it had been eroded by blood.
"It's!" Chuang Ye was also shocked, even he had never seen this kind of vision at this moment, the rhubarb barked wildly, and ran towards the snow, not afraid of the change.
"Rhubarb, come back!" But it was too late, and the moment my voice fell, the rhubarb had already pounced, and suddenly the speed of the snow was curbed and slowed down.
"Hehe, what a mountain charm dog who is proficient in Miaojiang witchcraft!" A hideous laugh came from the distance, it was an old man, his hair and eyebrows were all white, and he looked like a fairy wind and bones, which was extraordinary.
I didn't notice how he appeared, like a ghost, quietly appeared, the sea frowned, knowing that he was in trouble, he loaded the air gun in his hand, this gun has a limited range, he took a lot of effort to buy it on the black market, and now it comes in handy.
"Don't shoot the sea first, he wanted to do it to us a long time ago, he did it a long time ago, and he didn't have to wait until now!" Chuang Ye's faint words shocked me.
"Watch your feet, there should be hunting clips! This old guy is not simple, I dealt with him ten years ago, I didn't expect him to be alive! Chuang Ye stared at the mysterious old man, his eyes full of indignation.
I was stunned to feel this mysterious old man, and I still knew each other from Master Chuang, but looking at this appearance, there should be a lot of Liang Zi between the two of them.
"Ten years have passed since Guo Feng, are you still not giving up!"
"You don't have to worry about my business!"
"Stubbornness, sooner or later it will hurt you, it's not too late to turn back!"
"Hmph, that's a good thing to say, unless Xiaoying can come back to life, everything is non-negotiable!" Chuang Ye snorted coldly, for a while the old man was dumbfounded, not responding, almost at the same time rhubarb turned back, his mouth was covered with blood, it was not it, it should belong to some unknown insect.
"Since that's the case, then don't blame me for being rude, ten years ago you ignored my existence and made a big mistake, and now you still don't repent, I want to ask the family law to deal with you, an unscrupulous descendant!" The old man was furious, blowing his beard and glaring.
"Don't be coy here, the cat is crying and the mouse is fake compassion, I know the Guo family's family law better than you, just because you can't represent the Guo family, quickly dodge, otherwise don't blame me for not caring about the feelings of the same family!"
The sea whispered a few words in my ear, and I knew the whole thing, which was something that Chuang Ye had never mentioned to me.
Blocking our way is Chuang Ye's eldest brother Guo Xian, who is Chuang Ye's cousin, and is also a person who can represent the will of the Guo family at present, and his existence has almost become Chuang Ye's biggest fetters.
"I followed you the day I came out of Fulong Lake, I had expected all this a long time ago, knowing that you were not completely dead, I could only arrive at Sanli River half a day in advance to stop you!" Guo Xian was a little helpless.
"So what, what I want to do, no one can stop me, you couldn't do it ten years ago, and you can't do it ten years later!" This is an absolute self-confidence, an oppressive temperament, which is vividly interpreted from Chuang Ye.
"Guo Feng, since you insist on going your own way, I won't talk nonsense, this ancient tomb is the resting place of the ancestors of the Guo family, I don't want the tomb of the old ancestor to be stolen and excavated by my own descendants, so that the entire Guo family will bear the infamy of abandoning the ancestor and stealing the tomb!" Of course Guo Xian didn't let it, the two of them were tense, and it was impossible for anyone to take a step back.
"Death to those who stand in my way!" Chuang Ye stepped forward quickly, ignoring the hunting clips buried in the snow, the sea put away the air gun, and gave up the idea of shooting Guo Xian.
"What the hell is going on with the sea?"
"It's not good to know too much." The sea shook his head, refusing to reveal a trace of the relationship between the two people, why they became more productive than the living.
I didn't ask again, but I felt that the old man was a little familiar, and subconsciously opened the backpack and found the yellowed old photo, wearing a late Qing Dynasty official uniform in Guangmingtun Group photo of five people, there was actually a person who was very similar to Guo Xian. I was taken aback, and in the comparison, there was a five-point similarity in appearance.
"Guo Xian, Guo Feng!" I kept repeating the names of the two people in my mind, combining the appearance characteristics of the two people, and the five people in the photos wearing late Qing Dynasty official uniforms, a little bit of comparison, really let me find a trace of clues.
I fixed my eyes on the late Qing Dynasty official who looked like Guo Xian, and after my careful identification, I found that Guo Xian had an ornament that was exactly the same as that official.
