The group whispered in a language I didn't understand at all. After seeing me, Dadong's face sank, and he turned his head to say something to a man next to him, who made a gesture. Immediately afterward, the man who was holding me down let go, and everyone else dispersed and flashed into the darkness.

I got up from the ground and picked up the flashlight. As soon as I stood up, at this moment, Dadong kicked me in the stomach and scolded, "Damn, I sent you out in the morning, and you will come back in the evening!" **Shabu me play! Slaughter your shit! ”

I was about to howl and say, "I'm wronged," but suddenly I felt a cramp in my stomach, and I bent over and threw up on the spot. But because I was in a hurry at that time, I didn't eat anything, I vomited for a long time, only vomited some sour water, and squatted on the ground and coughed for a long time.

"Hey, what's the matter with you?" Dadong saw that his feet were a little heavy, so he hurriedly walked over and asked, "Are you injured?" ”

I waved my hand to indicate that it was okay.

"What the hell are you doing?!" Dadong roared, "I can't tell you that I can't spare you!" ”

My mind was blank, and I got up and sat down on the stone with my stomach pressed for a long time before I slowly recovered. I looked at Dadong and didn't blame him, but I just felt that he was too indiscriminate, but fortunately he never took me seriously, otherwise I would have died miserably if I messed with him.

I slowly calmed down, but my mind was messed up. Suddenly realizing that I had too many questions to ask Dadong, I took a deep breath and picked the one I was most eager to know, and said, "Do you know 'Jingzhen'?" ”

Dadong looked at me in silence, the expression on his face changing between doubt and surprise. I said, I am Jing Zhen's son, I know what you brought to my grandfather, and now I come in again, I came to find him, where is he now?

"I don't know where he is." Daito replied. He didn't seem to care about me, and he didn't ask how Jing Zhen could have a son as big as me.

"How is that possible?" I shouted, "Didn't you tell my grandfather that he was alive?" ”

"I really don't know. But you're probably going to make a trip in vain," Dadong replied lightly, "A few months ago, Jing Zhen had already gone out of this gate. ”

As soon as I heard this, I was stunned on the spot. I grabbed his arm and yelled, what did you say? Out? That's impossible! When did he get out? Why did he never come back to me and grandpa? This doesn't make sense! …… Or was he in some other situation?

Dadong stopped talking. I don't know if I should choose to trust him, but at this moment, I can only rely on him to give me some more clues. I felt like I was stuck in a quicksand pit called "Mystery", and every time I struggled upward, I sank deeper.

"Can you elaborate a little bit?" I looked at Dadong eagerly.

"Are you the only one coming in this time?" Dadong asked rhetorically.

I replied that I had come with the girl and Xiao Rong, and two other guys, but now we were separated......

As I spoke, someone lit a bonfire not far away. The firelight covered the surroundings with an orange color, which looked very warm. There were still a few people roasting something to eat by the fire, and I watched in a daze, the previous nervousness and fear were swept away, and I only felt a rare sense of security rise in my heart.

Daito asked me to sit down on the big rock in the corner, and he leaned against me not far away. I asked him who these were. He said that they were the people of the Xuanyuan tribe, and they lived in this "gate".

I was taken aback and I said, "No?!" There are still people living in this door! How come you've never heard of it? And didn't Uncle Meng say that the people of the Xuanyuan clan are those "big-eyed boys"?

"Those who have one eye are the people of antiquity, but most of them have migrated, and the city is now a ruin. And now these people are Xuanyuan's 'remnants', these people live a simple and simple life, and they hardly know the world outside the picture. ”

"Do they live in this city?"

"Nope. They have a large stockade around here, but they rarely go outside of the stockade on weekdays. Dadong replied, "This ruined city of Xuanyuan is even more forbidden by them, and you can't enter it casually until an important moment." Recently, they seem to have contracted an epidemic, so they have to come in and look for herbs. ”

I heard a "oh" sound, and thought to myself, this ancient city is extremely dangerous, there are all kinds of demons and monsters, who will have nothing to do with their home here, isn't there nothing to look for? At this point, I suddenly thought of something, and then asked, "By the way, are these people different from us ordinary people?" For example, they have two stomachs, mouths that can spray venom, or eyes that can shoot lethal beams, like this, pyridypipi......"

"Less fart!" Dadong glared at me fiercely, "It's just that the language barrier, and everything else doesn't make any difference at all." With that, Dadong put his hands behind his head and put his body in a very comfortable position, and a slender Miao knife was always within his reach.

"Language barrier?" After hearing this, I looked at Dadong suspiciously and muttered, "Language barrier? So how do you communicate with them? As I spoke, I patted my chest and said, I have passed the sixth level of English, why don't I try it? Maybe they can speak English, it's the international language!

Dadong glared at me and stopped talking.

I couldn't amuse him when I saw it, so I thought it would be better to talk about something serious, so I asked, "How much do you know about my father Jingzhen?" Why did you say he went out through this 'door'? ”

Dadong took a deep breath, looked at the tree not far away, and said word by word, "More than a few months ago, after Jing Zhen and Xu Yongting came in, it didn't take long for me to part ways. I didn't know much about it, but what is certain is that more than a dozen of them went to a place called 'Mizi Garden' and never came out. ”

This is consistent with what I know so far, and I didn't interject and waited for him to continue.

"They haven't come out, so I've tried to find it, but," said Dadong, Dadong's face became grim again, "I can't find the entrance to the Mizi Garden at all!" ”

"How so?"

"I can't explain it to you for a while." Dadong shook his head, "I've been groping around in this gate for a long time, and I found that even if I found the way, I couldn't enter the Mizi Garden. Then one day, I was walking at the foot of Mt. Altar and accidentally saw a familiar figure in a nearby meadow.

Jing Zhen was alone, he didn't see me, I didn't know what he was going to do, I saw him carrying something on his back, climbing the stone steps, and walking towards the cave you left. So I think he should have left. ”

Dadong continued, "I didn't know Jing Zhen well, in fact, I should have stopped him at that time to ask for clarification, but I don't know why, until the end, I didn't act. I looked at him, and the thing he was carrying behind his back made me feel weird......"

"What is he carrying?" I hurriedly asked.

"A dried corpse."

I listened in a daze, looking at Dadong's face, and my spirit was slowly in a state of half-dementia. After a long while, he said incredulously, "...... Mummy? What a dry corpse?! ”

"I don't know." Dadong replied, "Jing Zhen left the ancient city of Xuanyuan - I think, tell your grandfather the news, if the old man knows something, he will definitely understand something, so let the girl take the words back." ”

When I heard this, I quickly shook my head and said, "What you brought is too two-dimensional!" You are a graduate student, or you will write a narrative, and you will write the clues in the corners and corners and then bring them out! But you just brought five words, are you deliberately cheating? It's impossible for anyone to understand, OK?

Dadong said ruthlessly: "Holy shit, why are you talking so much nonsense? Did I bring it to you? I guess only your waistband-length IQ won't understand! ”

"Why are you swearing?" I shouted.

"Scolding you is also scolding a 'person'?"

I was immediately half angry, but I thought that I couldn't beat him, and in reality, no matter what he said, he was a generation older than me, and I carried forward my personal good qualities, and I didn't care about him. "My dad is done, what about my mom? What's next for you? I folded my hands to my chest and muttered in a gloomy voice.

"I'm going to look for it again," Dadong said, "I want to see people alive and dead to see corpses, and I won't give up if I don't see corpses." If you want to follow, I won't stop you. ”

"Really?!" When I heard this, I burst into tears, and my heart said that Dadong is Dadong! This man is definitely a lucky star in my life! With him, my heart is much more steady. But I only don't understand, why is he so obsessed with the whereabouts of my family's 16 people? Is he kind-hearted and compassionate? Or is there something else he cares about?

This kind of question is based on the current relationship between me and Dadong, and I am inconvenient to ask more, and one day in the future, when we know each other better, I believe he will tell me.

"That's it! Let's talk about it later, we'll leave tomorrow morning, you can rest first. Dadong said, raised his feet to leave, I suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly stopped him.

"What about Xiao Rong and the girl?" I asked, "I brought them with me, and they got separated after they came in, and I don't know where they are." ”

Dadong thought about it, and then said that he would ask someone to help find it, and after finding it, we just had to meet somewhere.

I nodded, thinking to myself that this was a good idea, and it saved a lot of time. But suddenly something important came to mind - "Oh no! I slapped my thigh and got up from the ground.

"What's wrong again?" Dadong said impatiently.

"Glasses! …… I almost forgot about him! ”

After listening to my narration, Dadong had no choice but to agree to accompany me back to find my glasses.

Digging back into the hole, we walked one after the other. I was afraid of embarrassment, so I took the initiative to talk to him. I asked him, "What kind of animal's nest is this cave?" As I walked, I walked from a long way to the ancient city, what is the reason?

Dadong replied, "When I walk in the dark, I must have no concept of time and space, no references, and I can't realize it even if I walk far away." Besides, the abandoned hall just now was actually on the edge of the Xuanyuan Ancient City, and he only got familiar with the road inside after he walked through it last time.

I nodded, but then I thought, no! I said, "Why didn't you find the dirt hole I came out of in the main hall the last time I came?" If we find out, we don't have to go through that road, that time to go, it's like nine deaths!

Dadong snorted and said, "Of course I couldn't see this earth cave when I came last time, because this earth hole is not an animal nest at all!" It took a couple of days to appear. ”

"Not an animal nest? So what is it? I asked.

"That flying snake, when there is no meat to eat, also eats mud, this mud has a lot of insect eggs, rich in nutrients, this hole must be those snakes gnawed inch by inch."

"Really? So, the mucus on the walls of this cave is all ......."

As soon as I heard this, I looked around again, and immediately felt an upset stomach, and I said go quickly, that thing stinks to death, I don't want to wash my face with their saliva, and I don't know if I will get scabies after getting it.

Dadong looked at me and smiled, but didn't speak.

After a long journey, it was easy to return to the entrance, and when I saw that the glasses were gone, the fire at the entrance of the cave had been extinguished, and I crawled out to find that the grass around the cave was scorched, and the corpses of the golden flame insects were all over the ground, black and stacked together, like a small coal pit.

I looked around, but I still didn't see the shadow of the glasses, so I was anxious, and I said let him wait, why is this guy so disobedient! Dadong saw that I was anxious, and said that when I look for Xiaorong and the girl tomorrow, I will also let people pay attention to this "glasses" by the way. I was very grateful, but Dadong told me not to disgust him.

Return the way you came. When I returned to the main hall, I felt that the sky was a little brighter. I was so tired that I was half dead, and these people went back and forth, as if they had walked half of their lives. The Xuanyuan people woke up and began to pack up, I found a dry place, closed my eyes, and fell asleep in less than a minute......
