Chapter 15 Forward
Chapter 15 Forward
After bidding farewell to the bearded three, the fat man and I drove forward for more than 30 kilometers. When the off-road vehicle really couldn't go forward, the fat man let me get out of the car.
The fat man took out a printed copy of the map fragment from his bag, spread it out on the hood and compared it with a compass for a while, and then said, "There is still some way to go." As he spoke, he put his things away and looked at me, "Now let's start to officially enter this strange canyon." If you want to regret it, it's too late. ”
I gave him a blank look, not bothering to pay attention to him.
The fat man saw my determination, laughed dryly, and said nothing. After packing up our things and hanging our gear on our bodies, the fat man and I began to walk towards the canyon.
Not to mention, not long after entering the canyon, I saw some scattered bones. It's exactly what it says on the Internet. It's just that I can't tell what kind of animal bones it is. Or maybe it's human, too.
The fat man had a big nerve, and he walked over and squatted down to look at it, and then said that this was what other animals had eaten. Then he kept going.
I followed the fat man and asked him how credible the bearded man was in what he said. The fat man didn't look back, but kept looking up at his surroundings and said, "Half and half." ”
"But how do I feel like they're telling the truth?" I asked.
"You don't know." The fat man said, "They said it themselves, amateur expeditions." Halfway through this expedition, the regiment was almost wiped out, and it would be embarrassing to say it. I'm going to have to find some reason. ”
I snorted and said, "You mean the things they're talking about are actually imaginary?" Just to find a reason for the dead in their ranks? ”
The fat man nodded: "But it can also be said that it is all fake." He paused: "Oh, how do you say it-hey, I said, aren't you in business, why can't you observe words and emotions so simply?" To put it bluntly, the things they say may be real, but not as exaggerated as they say. Saying that, the fat man snorted, and said, "What the hell will die if you touch it, you should be Wang Shui?" ”
I nodded in the back. To be honest, I hardly thought about it since the fat man appeared next to me. Almost everything is the fat man helping me analyze and reason, all I need to do is follow the fat man and actually experience what the fat man reasoned.
I was stunned for a moment when I thought of this, and my heart said when did I rely on fat people so much?
I was still thinking that the fat man found that there was no sound behind him, so he turned around to look at me, but found that I was standing there in a daze, so he came and pulled me. I came back to my senses, answered the fat man, and continued walking. Only this time the fat man did not walk in front of me, but walked side by side with me.
After walking for a while, the fat man suddenly asked me, "Hey, have you ever thought about a question?" ”
I walked forward with my head buried and asked, "What." ”
"You don't have to be involved in this." The fat man said, "You can do what the letter says, move every few years, or simply go abroad." In this way, even if you uncle, it is not so easy for them to find you. ”
When I heard the fat man say this, I laughed dryly: "You mean, let me give up looking for my father and go and live a free life by myself?" ”
The fat man was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head: "You still haven't understood?" ”
"Understand what?" I asked rhetorically.
"Your grandmother's diary is clear. On the night you met your grandfather's head, it was your father who fainted. In other words, it was actually your grandmother who entered the ancestral hall, and your father didn't enter at all. ”
As the fat man finished speaking, I chuckled in my heart, and a cold shiver suddenly popped up. I said yes, I also saw this one in my grandmother's diary. And the two Ah Fa brothers also told me at the time that it was indeed my father who fainted at that time. Holy, why am I only reacting now?
The fat man saw that I understood, and said, "Isn't your reflex arc a bit long?" ”
I scolded you and said, "Whoever went in, now this thing has completely piqued my curiosity." And I also want to know what that so-called Kogo term is. And the buried things mentioned in my grandmother's diary. I want to know all of this. ”
The fat man suddenly sighed and said, "Do you know that there is a saying that curiosity kills a cat?" ”
"Did you know that there is a saying that cats have nine lives?" I said, surprised that I was in the mood to joke with the fat man right now.
The fat man looked at me and asked, "There are some things I can't tell you right now, but I want to tell you that there are some things that you can't turn back from if you make a decision." ”
"People always have to look forward." I said, "Don't persuade me." ”
"I didn't advise you," said the fat man, "to tell you the truth, I wish you wanted to find out." Because only in this way can I complete my task. ”
I was stunned: "Your mission?" What task? ”
The fat man was stunned for a moment, knowing that he had missed something, and subconsciously covered his mouth: "It's nothing." ”
Is it really nothing? I suddenly felt a sense of loss in my heart: "Fatty, although we have been born and died, there are some things that I have to say to death." "I looked at the fat man.
The fat man was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect me to say this suddenly, and he didn't think of anything to pick me up for a while. The two of them walked more than ten meters like this.
"Say it." The fat man breaks the ice.
"You, Lan, and Ali. You three must know more than I do, but why can't you tell me? "I looked at the fat man." Here's one. The other one must be somehow related to the three of you - don't be in a hurry to deny it just yet. I've been up and down in the mall for a few years now, and there are some things I can still tell. Based on the tone in which the three of you usually speak, I can be sure that the three of you should all be from the outside world. ”
The fat man looked at me and said, "Ali is a person from the Eight Outer Elements, you already know this. That Lan, I really can't tell you who she is. At least not out of my mouth. ”
"Why?"
"There's no why." The fat man said, "I don't know much about Lan's identity. But one thing is for sure, like Sister Qing, she has an inextricable relationship with the thief. It's even deeper than Sister Qing. If you really want to know, then I think you should ask her yourself. ”
I digested what the fat man had said, but I didn't find anything too valuable, so I asked him, "What about you?" What is your identity? ”
The fat man thought for a moment and said, "There's only one I can tell you." That is, I don't belong to any of the outer eight lines. ”
