Chapter 5 The Living Man Who Smells of Corpses
Those who come are certainly not good. I hurriedly packed my things and left through the back door with Tang Yiyi.
After leaving the village, I stopped and kowtowed twice at the village, tears rolling in my eyes, and then I couldn't control my leave. In the future, I will be a homeless child? The dearest relatives are gone, and they live the rest of their lives alone?
Tang Yatou saw me crying, and she also sobbed: "Brother Yang, you will be my brother in the future, and we will depend on each other." ”
I nodded, stood up and wiped the girl's tears: "Go, girl." I will definitely give you and the whole village an explanation. ”
After all, the girl is a child in the city, and her body is too pretentious, so she can't go far and has to stop and rest for a while. And it seems that I can't get used to the dry food I brought. Fortunately, we have abundant products here, and it is not difficult for me to catch a fish or game.
Looking at the girl with fine skin and tender flesh tossing all day long, I feel uncomfortable. I looked here, and a few miles further on, there was a Jiuli Temple, which was a place for passers-by to rest, and the girl and I would rest there tonight.
I estimated that we had traveled more than 20 kilometers along this big river. At the end of the day, I was tossed enough, but I firmly believe that as long as I insist on walking along the river, I will definitely find my grandfather and the villagers.
I vaguely feel that my grandfather is definitely not dead, the villagers may still be alive, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, I must persevere.
In the last part of the road, I almost walked with Tang Yiyi on my back. Seeing the Jiuli Temple from afar, I was also relieved.
No one knows how many years this Jiuli temple has been standing here. Anyway, for as long as I can remember, this temple has been here. Moreover, after several major bursts of the Yellow River, the surrounding villages have been destroyed again and again, but only this Jiuli Temple is still standing.
Some people say that this Jiuli temple is protected by the ancestors of Jiuli, Chiyou, and I scoff at this. I don't believe in ghosts.
It was only after approaching the Jiuli Temple that I found a few pieces of luggage piled up at the door, and I was disappointed for a while, it seems that there are already passers-by resting here.
After thinking about it, I woke up the sleepy Tang Yiyi, picked out a plain dress for her, and I also changed into a plain dress. The two of us are dressed so brightly, in this barren mountain and wilderness, we may be targeted by gangsters.
However, this girl is born with a good temperament, her skin is as white as a hard-boiled egg, and she is so temperamental when she changes into the clothes of the village girl. I had no choice but to put some mud on her face and led him into the temple.
There were three people in the temple who were making a fire, two with their backs to us, and one sitting facing the door. After seeing us, the middle-aged man stood up and greeted us with a smile.
Listening to his accent, he seemed to be a foreigner: "Little brother, this temple is for pedestrians to rest, let's not disturb you here." ”
Listening to his tone was quite polite, I was also relieved. However, my grandfather often told me that I knew people but did not know my heart, so I still had a grudge against him.
I smiled at him%3a "It's okay, this is for passers-by to rest." ”
With that, Tang Yiyi and I sat down in a corner and didn't talk much.
The other two were indifferent to our arrival, and they didn't even twist their heads.
I didn't bother to pay attention to them, I just took out dry food for Tang Yiyi to eat.
The middle-aged man seemed to feel a little embarrassed, so he continued to sit back and chatted with the other two.
I noticed that the middle-aged man seemed to be a bit talkative, and although the other two ignored him at all, he still kept chattering.
I found that Tang Yiyi's expression was unnatural since she came in, and she wanted to speak several times, as if it was inconvenient to say it in front of outsiders.
I asked her if she was uncomfortable, and Tang Yiyi shook her head and motioned for me to go out with her eyes.
"Yiyi, I'll go get you some game." I asked smartly.
Tang Yiyi said: "Brother Yang, I will also go with you." ”
I nodded, and came out with Tang Yiyi.
After walking a distance and making sure no one followed, I whispered, "Girl, do you have anything to say?" ”
Tang Yiyi nodded: "Brother Yang, did you smell it just now?" ”
"Smell something?" I asked cautiously.
"It smells like salted fish." Tang Yiyi said.
"Oh, it's nothing." I said, "Many businessmen from other places started by reselling salted fish. ”
Tang Yiyi frowned and said, "I think they seem to be using this flavor to cover up other flavors." ”
"Really?" When Tang Yiyi said this, I was also panicked in my heart, and I didn't want to go back. To be honest, I also think those three people are a bit weird, especially the two who have their backs to us, except for the occasional handful of hair, they rarely move, just roast the fire.
"Well, let's go a little further." I said, "Let's see if I can meet people." ”
Tang Yiyi nodded.
But the sky is not beautiful, the two of us just wanted to continue walking, but the sky suddenly rumbled, and then the bean-sized raindrops smashed down on the head and face.
Never mind. I patted Tang Yiyi on the shoulder: "Maybe what we just experienced is too mysterious, and our nerves are too sensitive." It's impossible to travel in this weather. ”
Tang Yiyi nodded: "Well, maybe we think too much." ”
After Tang Yiyi and I went back, we found that the middle-aged man had already lay down and was ready to rest.
And the two people who had their backs to us, now only one remains. Seeing us come back, the middle-aged man sat up a little excitedly: "Little brother, I heard that the fish in the Yellow River on a rainy day will come out to breathe, right?" The tightness that it is easy to catch. ”
I nodded.
"Great." The other party smiled: "I didn't expect to meet the harvest time just now, my friend was crazy about money, and insisted on going out to fish even though it was raining heavily." ”
I was relieved to hear him say this, and it seemed that they were indeed merchants who poured fish.
He looked very excited, took out a pack of Yellow Crane Towers, and wanted to throw one to me, I smiled and said no, thank you. hugged Tang Yiyi and snuggled in the corner to rest.
"Little brother, I want to ask you about someone." He made the mistake of talking again.
I was too embarrassed to refuse, so I nodded.
"This village in front of you is not Nianying Village?" He asked.
Hearing him say this, my heart suddenly tightened, and I vaguely felt abnormal.
Our village is so remote that few outsiders go, even fish sellers. Why did so many people want to go as soon as something happened?
You must know that there is already a group of people in the morning.
This person is certainly not just a fish dealer.
I was curious about what their purpose was in our village, so I replied indifferently that I had heard of it.
Hearing me say this, the other party immediately became interested, sat down in front of me with a smile, and said, "Little brother, I want to ask you about someone." Do you know Liu Laoshi from Nianying Village? ”
I was even more nervous, why did he ask my grandfather? As far as I can remember, my grandfather stayed in the village all his life, how could he know people from outside?
I resolutely can't let him know that Liu Laoshi is my grandfather, after all, the other party is too suspicious, shook his head and said I don't know.
He was a little disappointed and said that he knew that Liu Laoshi was a well-known fishing master, and we wanted to ask him to go fishing with us.
I ignored him, thinking that when the rain stopped, I would leave quickly. Stay away from this person.
But the other party still kept talking, and kept praising my grandfather for his awesomeness.
In the end, he didn't think about it, but he took out a vacuum-embossed printout: "Little brother, I want to ask you something." Any idea what this thing is? ”
I glanced at it briefly, and was stunned again. Because the first thing I saw was the four big characters on the printout.
"The Queen's Right Wine!"
Aren't these four words the words that Ying's love is on? Why is this thing on top of it? As soon as I was sure that this guy must be a bad person, I shook my head and said I didn't know.
On that piece of printing paper, there is an antique copper kettle, and the four characters of the queen's right wine are engraved on the copper kettle. Judging from the details, the copper kettle has obvious Warring States characteristics. I can't see anything more, it's just a picture, after all.
The man wasn't upset that I didn't know, but just excitedly told me that this thing was an old thing, and it was rumored that there was information about the treasure of Panmen hidden on it. After finding all the eighteen treasures left behind by Panmen, you can deduce the whereabouts of Panmen's treasures......
I listened to him, and my mind was a mess, and I was already shocked. Panmen, he actually said Panmen just now.
On the "Book of Ancient Yi Tian" left to me by my grandfather, there are also two words Panmen.
It seems that grandpa is really not simple.
And what kind of Panmen treasure, I don't know, could it be that the "Ancient Book of Heaven" records the information about the Panmen treasure?
These people are looking for grandpa, will it be the idea of playing "Gu Yi Tianshu"?
Grass, I found myself seemingly invisibly stuck in a big hole.
Although my mind was already in a mess, on the surface I still pretended to be calm, closed my eyes and pretended not to be interested in it.
The middle-aged man didn't have any interest in going back, lying down to rest.
The heavy rain outside seemed to be unable to stop for a while, so I hugged Tang Yiyi's delicate body and closed my eyes to rest. Maybe I was so tired that after a while, I fell asleep.
I was awakened by the sound of a tractor. When I opened my eyes, I found that the rain outside had stopped, and I looked at Tang Yiyi in my arms, still sleeping, and my harazi was flowing out, cute and tight.
I helped her wipe her hair, and then glanced at the middle-aged man opposite. And when I looked at it this way, I found that the middle-aged man was gone, and there were only two people with their backs to us, still with their backs to us.
I glanced at the time and saw that it was one o'clock in the morning. Why are these two guys still roasting the fire? Seeing that the firewood was gone, they did not add firewood.
Strange, so weird.
I stood up, wanting to see the two of them. But as soon as I stood up, Tang Yiyi suddenly grabbed the corner of my clothes. Looking back, I found that Tang Yiyi had woken up. But her face was still full of fear: "Don't go over. ”
"What's wrong?" I whispered.
"The smell of salted fish is gone." Tang Yiyi muttered in a low voice, "I smell the smell of corpses." ”
