Chapter 35: The Man Without Images
"How is that possible?"
I couldn't help but be surprised. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"How could it be?" Yang Xue said to me in a very resolute tone, "Not only that, I suspect that the incident we hit the ghost outside was planned by this person." Don't interject yet, listen to what I'm talking about, do you remember when we were in the rocks, and I said that I saw a shadow flashing past, do you still have an impression? Now that I think about it, that figure is very consistent with this Uncle Ma, and I am ninety percent sure that it is him. I think it's very likely that we've fallen into his elaborate trap long ago. ”
I say:
"Along the way, Uncle Ma is not like a bad guy, he not only saved us, but also leveled a zombie for us, he set a trap for us, what did he get?"
Yang Xue glared at me and said a little angrily, "How can you trust people so easily? Am I so unworthy of your trust compared to that Uncle Ma? ”
When I saw her like this, I couldn't help but think of the incident where she abandoned me before, and I was always a little unbalanced in my heart, and said angrily: "Are you trustworthy or not, there is no need to discuss this issue, after all, you know what you have done to me...... But then again, you deliberately threw that bronze mirror into the lake, and Uncle Ma also deliberately made up a lie to break him up? Your acting skills are good, aren't you? ”
After listening to my sarcasm, Yang Xue's face was a little ugly, and she looked like she wanted to explode, but she still forcibly suppressed her emotions and said to me:
"Yes, I did it, after all, I saw such a terrible sight in the bronze mirror, and I had to take measures to protect myself. However, it is strange that the idea of testing with a bronze mirror was proposed by the man himself, which, apparently, does not correspond to logic. It can be seen that he does not understand the situation he is in, otherwise he would not have made such a suggestion that is unfavorable to him. ”
"This ...... Maybe you really misunderstood people, he may be the same as us, they are all in the clouds, and now he is still helping you find your brother's whereabouts, so slandering others behind your back, I'm afraid it's not good, right? ”
"This is not called slander," Yang Xue continued to argue, "Think about it, why when we crossed the dark zone, it wasn't the two of us who disappeared, but my brother?" It's already obvious that because you trust that person so much, there's nothing threatening to him. I, on the other hand, stand in a more neutral position, neither opposing nor appreciating. Only my brother, he is full of distrust of this Uncle Ma, and he is wary of the other party everywhere, so this Uncle Ma secretly did something to my brother in secret......"
"You're a conspiracy theory!" I couldn't help but choke on her.
But at this time, Yang Xue saw that she couldn't persuade me, her shoulders drooped, and she was already deflated:
"Alas...... Forget it, you don't believe me, and I don't blame you, after all, I don't have any evidence, and I can't even figure out if he's a human or a ghost. However, if a person can't see the image in the mirror, I think it's a bit abnormal, and we must at least pay more attention, otherwise we are afraid that we will fall into passivity at that time. ”
I accept Yang Xue's compromise suggestion, but even I can't be sure whether Uncle Ma is trustworthy or not. On the surface, he is just an ordinary Miao man, a middle-aged man who is worried about his children's education, knows some ancestral ghost hunting skills, and is relatively honest and upright, not very good at words, and not highly educated, but not stupid. However, these can be said to be appearances, and if he deliberately created them, I would inevitably be confused. However, in terms of my feelings, I believe that he is not the kind of person who is extremely deep in the city, and it is completely different from the feeling that Captain Li gave me before.
I hope I'm right.
In the next time, I didn't have the heart to discuss Uncle Ma's matter with Yang Xue again, because, according to some of the information we had at hand, there was no result in the discussion. On the one hand, Yang Xue was still worried about his brother, always frowning. On the other hand, I don't want to say anything to her anymore, and my feelings about her are quite complicated, with some hatred and deep down I can't let go of my concern for her. This kind of complex emotion sometimes comes violently, which catches me off guard, and after so many things have happened, I don't know how to face Yang Xue at all.
At this time, it occurred to me that when I was walking through the dark area, I touched something on the ground, which I put in my backpack and never took it out to look at it carefully. At this time, when there was nothing to do, I unzipped my backpack, reached in, and felt the thing.
When I took it in my hand, it turned out to be a bronze statue, slightly larger than a fist, and judging by the appearance of the statue, it turned out to be that kind of gluttonous beast. I'm no stranger to the totem of this ancient beast, and I've seen a larger statue in the mines of the Tiankeng world before. However, the carving in front of me has been oxidized very seriously because it has been in the damp cave for a long time, and if you don't look closely, you really can't see what it is.
I brought this bronze statue to Yang Xue and said to her:
"Look at this thing, do you think it looks familiar?"
Yang Xue was originally in a state of numbness, but when she heard my greeting, she looked at the bronze gluttony in her hand again, and suddenly showed a look of surprise:
"Where did you get this?"
I told her to pick it up in the dark zone, and I speculated that it was the bandits who accidentally fell back then?
Yang Xue said:
"It's quite possible, but one thing is certain, the statue is very old, and from the outside, it doesn't look like a modern imitation. However, this kind of divine beast is a kind of guardian beast for the people of Miaojiang, symbolizing the god of war, Chiyou, and there is no fuss about it appearing here. ”
"Sure enough," I said, "the national treasures of that year were much more than just gold bars and silver dollars, and I think they must have included a lot of antiquities, even national treasures!" ”
"So what?" Yang Xue glanced at me coldly, "Is money so important to you?" ”
"It's definitely important!" I said a little excitedly, "I'm not a money-seeker, but I won't let a boiled duck fly...... Do you think, if we get this treasure, then we can do whatever we want for the rest of our lives? After all, traveling around the world also requires a certain economic foundation, right? ”
Traveling around the world is a dream filled in Yang Xue's classmates when she was a child, I don't know why, I suddenly remembered, so I said it casually, and thought that Yang Xue had forgotten it a long time ago, but she looked at me with a look of surprise.
"Do you remember ......"
She said with a slight hesitation.
I nodded, and squeezed out a rare smile at her, saying of course I remember, when I peeked at your classmates, I was beaten by you by pinching my ears.
Yang Xue smiled and said, "You're embarrassed to say it!" ”
"What am I embarrassed about?" I said, "It's common to be bullied by you when I was a child, who told me to grow late!" ”
Yang Xue and I excitedly recalled some things from our childhood, and the mustard between the two of us also temporarily dissipated unconsciously, but the relaxed atmosphere didn't last long before we heard a sound of footsteps coming from the dark area.
I originally thought it was Uncle Ma coming back, but when the man appeared from the darkness, I saw Lao Yang, and I saw him staring at me and Yang Xue with a surprised face, looking like he was the rest of his life. Moreover, his hands were covered in blood for some reason. (To be continued.) )
