Chapter 22: Orchid (3)

(One more chapter, one chapter per day from today to next Monday)

I called out to the fat man and wanted him to come and see the blood.

The fat man came to me and crouched down, stretched out his fingers and wiped them on the blood, then put them on his fingertips and rubbed them.

"If there was no one else here, the blood would be hers." The fat man said.

"What happened, how could there be so much blood?" I asked, "The amount of blood doesn't look like it was scratched when moving stones." ”

The fat man wiped the blood from his hands on the stone next to him, clapped his hands and stood up. "I don't know." As he spoke, he handed me the knife he had just pulled out, "This sister is definitely not an ordinary person. ”

I ignored the fat man's address to Lan, and took the knife over and looked at it carefully.

The knife appears to have been coated with some material, or has been specially processed. The blade of the entire knife has a very greyish charcoal black. The flashlight beam does not reflect the light at all, as if it is made of some material that can absorb light. On one side of the blade is carved a crescent. Strictly speaking, it should be the last quarter moon. However, the color of the entire last quarter moon blends with the charcoal black on the blade, leaving only the lines that outline the moon.

The knife was turned off, and the entire handle was silver, and it looked like it should have been made of silver. However, it is estimated that it has been used for a long time, and the handle of the knife is no longer as smooth as silver.

"See what?" The fat man asked me.

I shook my head.

The fat man took the knife and gestured it a few times, and said, "This knife is not ordinary. ”

I looked at the fat man, nodded and said, "It's not ordinary, the handle is pure silver, and it should be worth a lot of money." ”

"Fart." The fat man stopped to look at me, "Who the fuck told you this, I mean the material of this knife." ”

"Material?" I was stunned for a moment, and then scolded: "Lao Tzu doesn't understand this, how can he know?" ”

After I finished speaking, I saw the fat man shaking his head and wanted to scold him again. But he pulled me down to look at the pit where the knife had been buried.

"See for yourself." The fat man pointed to the pit and said.

Now I have a long memory. I didn't bother to look at it, so I slapped the fat man and let him fart quickly.

The fat man shook his head again, saying that I am not humble and studying, and I am not a good comrade. After speaking, when he saw me open my mouth and was about to scold him again, he hurriedly waved his hand to show surrender.

"Look," the fat man pointed with his knife at the place where it had been inserted. "This location is below the stones."

Stone? I was slightly stunned. When I reached out and touched it, it was a stone.

The fat man stuck the knife back in again, and looked at me.

I watched the fat man's movements almost instantly. "You mean the knife was just stuck in the stone? Damn, how is this possible? ”

The fat man shrugged his shoulders and explained, "If it is generally inserted in the soil, is it so laborious when I drew the knife just now, fat man?" ”

Still in disbelief, I reached for the dirt around me. After a few clicks, the surface of the presentation was revealed.

The fat man continued: "I said that this sister is not simple. The Yin soldiers didn't die when they were fighting, and the rock climbing and long jump were so awesome. Even this—" said the fat man, drawing his knife again, "and a single knife can be plunged into a stone." ”

I looked at the fat man's adoring face, and said in my heart, why don't you say that the person is Zhang Wuji who is carrying the dragon slaying knife.

Phew, it's Zhou Zhiruo who is carrying the Heavenly Sword.

The fat man handed me the knife again and said, "Oh, take it." Time to go. With that, he went to pack his backpack.

I don't know when I lost my dagger, so I took it and put it in the scabbard strapped to my thigh without thinking about it.

Not to mention, this scabbard is quite suitable.

Strap on your bag and move on. On the way, I kept discussing things about Lan with the fat man, guessing who Lan was, and why he didn't go to the Olympics to win glory for the country.

The fat man seems to have had something on his mind since he saw Lan. I was basically talking on the road, and the fat man frowned and didn't know what he was thinking. Every now and then, I am answering me.

After walking for more than an hour, a path of stone steps sloping upwards appeared in front of me.

The fat man's eyes lit up, and he walked over to take a closer look.

"Yo," the fat man smacked his lips, "white marble." Yes,"

"Jade?" When I heard this, I hurried over to look.

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, this is white marble." The fat man said.

"Isn't that also jade?" I asked. The fat man opened his mouth and just wanted to explain, but I added: "Speak human words." ”

The fat man thought for a moment with his mouth open, and said, "You just think it's marble." ”

"Marble?" I pouted, "The floor tiles in my hotel are all marble. ”

"It's not a concept." The fat man said, "Now that technology has developed, marble is certainly not a rare item. If it was in the past, these things were only available to Emperor Laozi. The worst of them are only available to the aristocracy. ”

I snorted in a half-incomprehensible way, and said in my heart that it had something to do with me.

The fat man looked at the stone steps for a moment, and then looked up the stone steps again. This stone step is built in a zigzag shape, and it is about ten meters and begins to turn upward. There is no end in sight.

The fat man patted his face and cheered up and said, "Come, let's climb the mountain." ”

I looked at the stone steps and wondered if Lan had been here more than an hour ago, glanced up at the top as we did now and began to walk up.

The fat man looked at me blankly and looked at the stone steps in a daze, and came over and patted me. I came to my senses and smiled at him. The fat man was stunned and asked me if I was sick. Then he reached over and touched my forehead.

I ignored him, tightened my backpack and was about to go up the stone steps, but I didn't expect to be pulled by the fat man.

"What for?" I asked.

The fat man smiled and said, "Don't rob the fat man, if there are good things, the fat man will take them first." With that, he took the first step up.

He's so damn greedy for money, be careful that there is a mechanism hanging in front of you. I cursed in my heart, and then walked up after the fat man.

The stone steps of this white marble are very narrow, and can only accommodate one person up and down. If someone from above wants to come down, it can only be someone who walks outside the stone steps and makes way for another person. Or you can't get over it at all.

"Do you think the person who repairs this stone step is careful?" The fat man scolded as he walked, "It's all white marble, can you die if you fix it wider?" ”

I followed the fat man, and I was amused when I heard the fat man's complaints. The staircase is indeed too narrow. It doesn't look like it's about a meter wide. The fat man's size had almost blocked the entire stone staircase. Thinking of this, I suddenly thought of the fat man crawling in the thief hole, and just wanted to laugh, the huge white face covered with blisters suddenly appeared in my mind, and I couldn't help but shiver.

"Hey, fatty." I shouted.

A fat man is a fat man after all, and it is already very hard for me to climb up with a bag on my back, not to mention that the fat man has an extra weight of fat meat. It didn't take long for the fat man to go up and he couldn't speak.

"Do you remember the corpse lying on top of us in the thief hole?" I asked, gasping for breath.

The fat man was slammed by my headless question, and then he was heard trembling and asking, "Why is there here too?" Don't be kidding, the fat man doesn't have the strength to solve them right now. ”

I know the fat man misunderstood me. I just don't have anything to say, I want to relieve my boredom. But subconsciously glanced at the fat man's back. After confirming that there was nothing unusual, he said, "Don't be nervous, I'm just talking." ”

I saw the fat man's shrugged shoulders loosen slightly. Then I heard him scold in front of me, "What the fuck are you, don't talk if you're okay." Don't make this kind of joke. ”

I snorted and said I didn't want to distract you by looking tired of crawling.

The fat man cut and ignored me. I was bored and too lazy to speak. He walked behind the fat man with his head down.

After walking for nearly half an hour, the fat man suddenly stopped. I walked forward with my head shut, and I crashed into it by surprise, and my center of gravity tilted backwards and almost rolled down.

After taking a few steps back, I finally managed to stabilize my body, but I saw that the fat man was also slowly retreating.

"What are you doing?" I asked the fat man.

"There's a guy up ahead." The fat man said.

My first reaction was Ran. But after thinking about it carefully, I realized that it was wrong. She's gone, and there's no way she's still waiting for us here. Could it be that she is tired and takes a break halfway? Thinking about it, I'm going to go up and take a look. But the fat man was so fat that his huge size completely blocked my view. I had to lean half of my body out of the stone steps to see what was ahead.

Woman in white. I thought to myself. No, I remember Lan was wearing black. Thinking of this, my scalp exploded, and I asked the fat man tremblingly, "Hey, will it be what I think?" ”

The fat man swallowed, dried his throat and said, "I don't know." But I'm guessing you're about the same as I thought. ”

As soon as the fat man finished speaking, the white shadow above slowly turned to face us.

Dressed in white, he bowed his head and was silent, with long hair covering his face and shrugging his shoulders.

You can't carry it like that, right? I said in my heart.
