Chapter 132: Mirror Clothes - Strange Old Man
I don't know if Qin Xin and Liu Xiaowei were too excited or too careless, they didn't see the strange tremor of the old man just now, I don't think it was our sudden arrival that scared the old man, according to the information on the Internet, there should be a lot of people here, even if the old man didn't see a thousand, he should have seen eight hundred, why did he have such a big reaction?
We continued to approach where the old man was standing, and when we were about ten paces away, the old man suddenly reached out and pointed at us and said, "Don't go any further!" ”
A few of us were stunned, but anyway, looking at the old man's appearance, he should have lived in this place for a long time, and we are also guests, so naturally we have to listen to some words from the host, although he may not be a master. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
So we all consciously stopped, and kept a distance of ten paces from the old man.
"Uncle, we are here to play, are you a resident living here?" I tried to make my voice as soft as possible, for fear of scaring the weak-looking old man.
"Who are you and why did you come to this place?" The old man asked in a hoarse and trembling voice.
"Isn't this old man behind his ears, didn't we already say it just now?" Qin Xin put his face to my ear and whispered.
"Whoever you say has behind my ears, my ears are good!" The old man suddenly got angry.
It can be seen that what the old man said is not a lie, Qin Xin's voice is already well controlled, if I were standing ten steps away, of course I would have heard what Qin Xin said clearly, after all, my hearing had become extremely sharp when that force began to move, but this old man, he could actually hear it?!
"Uncle, we have no malicious intent, we just saw some news about this place on the Internet, and we thought this place was very interesting, so we wanted to come and see it." I said in a gentle voice.
The old man didn't speak again, but still looked at us vigilantly, for a long time, really for a long time, for a long time I even thought that the old man was just standing and hanging, he walked slowly towards us, and when he walked in front of us, I found that the old man's eyes were very peculiar, I knew that some people's eyes were brown, some people's eyes were blue, and it could even be said that if you count me, my eyes are red sometimes, but I have never seen a person with pink pupils and purple pupils, If we were still in the city, I would have thought that this old man was also following the fashion, so he wore contact lenses.
But in this case, in this completely closed situation, I don't think the old man will run down the mountain to buy a contact lens to wear, then there is only one explanation for this situation, that is, the old man's eyes are born like this, what a strange old man.
"You say...... You saw it online? The old man asked, staring into my eyes.
Out of respect, I didn't try to look into the old man's heart, but I always felt that the old man looked at me like this made me a little uncomfortable, so I smiled awkwardly and said, "yes, I saw it on the Internet." ”
The old man looked me in the eye for a moment before nodding, then turned and led us to one of the buildings, and opened the door of a room at random, saying, "You can stay here tonight, I am the night watchman here, and I live in the room on the lower floor, and you can go down to me if you have anything." The old man turned around and was about to go downstairs, but I still had a lot of questions to ask the old man, so I gently pulled the old man when he turned around.
"Uncle, we don't know much about this place, can you tell us about it?" Since the old man said that he was the night watchman here, he must be familiar with this place.
"What do you want to know?" I don't know if I'm thinking too much, but I always feel that since I asked this question, the old man seems to have lost patience when he looks back, but I should be invisible, and in this completely unfamiliar place, any word of the old man may be a way to save our time.
"That's right, we heard that there is a magical mirror here, so we ......" Qin Xin hurriedly said.
"Mirrors? You're here for that mirror, too? The old man's wrinkled face was a little surprised, but it was a little abrupt.
"Otherwise, who came to this place, there is not even a person, but since there are not many people here, why are there so many buildings built?" Liu Xiaowei muttered beside her.
"You don't know that this place was originally a flat land, and as for the mountain, it was formed later, as if it started when my lover was buried here a few generations ago, and the land slowly protruded, and finally became this mountain, and the people in the buildings that had been built here moved away, so this empty city was left." The old man said sadly.
I always felt that this old man's expression was very rich, and really, I had almost never seen a face full of wrinkles that could express so many expressions so accurately.
"Then why are you keeping vigil here, and where is that mirror?" Qin Xin couldn't wait to ask.
"I am keeping vigil here because of a curse, it is a curse that our ancestors put on our descendants, speaking of which, the man who buried his lover here back then, is my ancestor, he left a sentence for the child before he died, let the child go down the mountain to find a girl to marry and have children, and after giving birth, he left home, and then came here to keep vigil, and when the child grew up, let him also marry and have children, and then come up to replace my father, and in my generation, I don't want to let my descendants suffer such a curse that life is worse than death, so I didn't get married, After coming up to replace my old father, I decided to end this curse here......" The old man said, two lines of cloudy tears flowing from the corners of his eyes.
I don't know why, when the old man said these words, I seemed to feel a strong sense of pain, as if I was the one who kept vigil here, and I couldn't get rid of that immersive pain.
"That'...... Where the hell is that mirror? I hurriedly changed the subject, not wanting to let this oppressive atmosphere continue.
The old man did not answer, but turned and walked to the window, and pointed out to a certain place outside the window, and we walked over and saw a small grass hut sitting quietly in the middle of this small town......
