"Chapter Twenty-Three: The Past"
Looking at Grandpa Wang's expression, we were all surprised, could it be that he also knew the underground space in the mountain?
Zhang Huanqing stared at Grandpa Wang vigilantly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Grandpa Wang, what are you talking about? I don't understand," Zhang Man pouted and said coquettishly.
"How did his injuries come about?" Grandpa Wang kept staring at the deep wound on Hou Zifeng's thigh.
Zhang Man was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.
"Okay, let's be honest, it's true that we are not tourists, but here to find a tomb, but we have a last resort, I hope you can understand." I told him the truth.
He looked at us with some disappointment, "Tomorrow morning, you can leave, don't come back, that place is not for you to go." With that, he turned and left.
Leave us there stunned. After a while, he came back again, and handed me a jar of mashed medicine.
"Wash the wound with hot water, then apply it, and go down the mountain tomorrow to find a doctor, this can only temporarily slow down the flow of dragon sturgeon toxin, if you don't see it for a long time, your leg will be broken." With that, he turned and walked away.
How did he know about the dragon sturgeon? Where did he go down? We looked at each other.
"He must know something." Zhang Huan said lightly.
"Hey, there's no way, stay overnight today, let's go down the mountain tomorrow, after curing the monkey, be fully prepared and come back and ask, he's angry now, if you ask now, it will be counterproductive." I sighed.
After helping Hou Zifeng treat his wounds, he looked at us apologetically. "I'm sorry this time, I'm holding you back."
"Okay, you're hurt like this, what are you talking about? Cure it first, uh, I'll talk about it later. I gave him a blank look.
Now it's just a river crossing, and it's still far away, so I don't know what other problems I'll encounter.
The kang was very big, enough to sleep four people, Hou Zifeng slept in the middle, and Zhang Man hid far away, leaning on the side.
After seeing them sleep, I went outside alone.
When I went out, I saw Grandpa Wang sitting outside, smoking a cigarette. In the dark night, the red light flickered and flickered.
I sat next to him. "Grandpa Wang, I'm sorry, we shouldn't lie to you."
"Hey, how many years, I thought I had forgotten, but I didn't expect ....." He took a puff of cigarette and sighed deeply.
I was puzzled for a while, "Grandpa Wang, can you talk to me?" ”
He didn't respond, just spoke to himself.
"Forty-five years ago, when I was young and vigorous, I always thought I could do anything, and after a friend learned that there was a hanging village in the mountains, I invited a few friends to come here together. We were thrilled to hear people around us say that there might be treasure here. He took a puff on his cigarette, and instead of answering, I listened to him.
"Several of us were very excited, and we searched aimlessly in the village. On the fifth day, I found the entrance. When we found the treasure, we were so excited that we thought we had to get out there, and we would be rich by then. In the excitement, someone accidentally touched the mechanism in the stone chamber, and we saw the stone door, and after a lot of trouble, we opened it. Originally, my brother didn't want to go in, but for some reason, there was a kind of magic that attracted us. We ended up going in anyway. Nature is magical, and we were stunned when we saw the underground space. And the tall tower that was faintly visible. With that, he threw away the cigarette butt. He turned to look at me.
"You've seen it too!"
I nodded slowly.
"When people discover something new, they are curious to explore. In the same way, the demons send the gods to go. When we crossed the river, someone was pulled into the water, and we climbed to the shore as hard as we could, and when we looked back, the man was lying on the surface of the river beyond recognition, and beside him, there was a huge strange fish gnawing at his corpse. Blood stained the river, and the strange fish's eyes stared at us as if they weren't satisfied with the food they had. That look is clearly a naked look that wants to possess, and we can't care about anything else, we want to flee forward. But then ......"
At this point, he was silent and did not speak, but as a result, I can imagine that now he is only one person, and the others must not have come out alive.
He reached out and lifted his waist, I was stunned, there was another circle of terrible wounds on his waist, similar to Hou Zifeng's wounds.
"That's what was left for me when I came out, I came out alive, but they were buried there forever." As he spoke, the old man began to cry, crying so helplessly.
I thought about it, and my heart was also pantothenic, and the people who were originally alive were hopeless when they said like that.
He wiped his tears, "Actually, I'm not from here, the house I live in is the house of an old man who saved me at that time, he is the langzhong of the village, I was pulled back from the ghost gate by him, I stayed here, and I stayed here for more than forty years." He knew that I was in there, and he didn't blame me, but let me recuperate with peace of mind and teach me medical skills. After he died, I took over his job. ”
"I forgot about it, but today, after seeing you, I think back to who I was back then." He sighed, "Go back, young man, don't come back." ”
I shook my head slightly. "Grandpa Wang, you have your troubles, why am I not that."
He looked at me in amazement.
"I was originally a student, on the way to the countryside, I met a girl, he was so beautiful, innocent, I fell in love with her deeply, in that beautiful day, we helped each other, encouraged each other, each other's hearts were full of each other, one day, I knew Feng Shui, an expedition team found me, let me help them find an ancient tomb, that is I and you are the same, full of curiosity about new things, I went with them, but she was not worried about me, also secretly followed, We went through the trials of life and death together, and we all came out alive, but she contracted a strange disease because of that ancient tomb. Now he's a living dead who breathes but can't wake up. "Tears wet the back of my hand and I choked a little.
"We found the leader of the expedition, and he told me that if I could find one thing in the ancient tomb of the Xia Dynasty, I could save my loved ones, and I came with that in mind. So no matter what danger is, I must find it! ”
