Chapter 35: The Corpse Under the Ancient Well 02
The White Bone Cave is the only way to go to Xia Jiling, and it is also the only place that they have not been to fifty years ago, according to Old Man Yan's description, the other two are dead, and they are masters like them, and they are also losing troops in these two places, if it weren't for the rest of the people who were scared back by death, I'm afraid they wouldn't give up and waited for the next opportunity to come.
Tian'er is young after all, and he is not the kind of person who has scheming, we said this, and he himself wanted to catch up and ask clearly, so we quickly reached an agreement and went to Xia Jiling from the White Bone Cave together.
Old man Yan saw that we agreed to set off together, and a relieved smile appeared on his face, this smile revealed a kind of desolation, that is a sense of vicissitudes of seeing through everything in the world and just wanting to find an answer.
Everyone stayed in the village for another day, and we mainly rested on this day, because I had an injury to my shoulder, but the medicine was timely, and I was in good health, so I have passed the most dangerous infection period for a long time, and there were no complications, basically it will not affect the movement, but when I need to use force, I still try not to face it head-on.
Old man Yan shaved his beard and changed into his own equipment suit, although it has been shelved for fifty years, nearly half a century, this dress is still intact, and this material is amazing.
In the evening, we had dinner and sat around the kang table to study the route, and Tian'er didn't know why he suddenly fell asleep, and he slept so deeply that he couldn't wake up.
Old man Yan said that he had put a little sleeping pill in Tian'er's bowl, and Bai Yun asked him why he did it, but the answer he gave was that he had something to explain before leaving, and he couldn't let him know.
I didn't speak, just listened quietly, Bai Yun didn't say anything when he saw that I didn't say anything, and he didn't speak again, and the two of them looked at the old man Yan on the other side of the kang table with their own thoughts.
An old photo appeared in front of us, on it was a group photo of seven people, in that group photo, I saw a person, this person was exactly the same person as the person in the photo I saw in the Xiao family's secret room, I know, this is my grandfather, or the missing second grandfather, my grandfather's younger brother.
Old man Yan was observing the change in my expression, but this result was already within the range of my expectations, I had already guessed that the actions of fifty years ago were involving the people of the Xiao family, and the reason why the Xiao family had rapidly declined in the past few decades was probably also caused by the disappearance or death of the head of the family back then.
"You're very calm," Old Man Yan looked at me and said.
"As expected, tell me, what do you want to say?" I threw the picture on the kang table.
Old man Yan pointed to the people in the photo and introduced them one by one and said: "He Wanjun, Xiao Yue, Bai He, Zhang Mosheng, Jiang Hongsheng, Liu Ruolin, and this, Yan Kun." ”
Bai Yun looked at the person named Bai He in the photo with some surprise, "What's wrong with this person, I seem to have seen him." ”
Old man Yan smiled, "You have indeed seen him, Bai He, and there is another name, Guan Haisheng." ”
Close!
Bai Yun thought for a moment and said, "No wonder, I just said that I seem to have seen it!" It turned out to be the Guan family. ”
I say; "Where did you see it at the Guan family?"
Bai Yun looked at me with some innocent eyes and said, "In Aguan's room." ”
"His room?"
"Yes, I remember when I was a child, I skipped school with him, and when I came back, I didn't dare to show up at home, so I hid in his room and played games, and then we were discovered, Ah Guan was taken by the housekeeper to see my stepfather, I was bored in his room alone, so I started looking through his bookshelf, and in a book, I saw a photo, and the man in the photo was him."
Old Man Yan's face changed slightly, and he asked cautiously, "What does he look like in that photo?" ”
Bai Yun thought for a while, looked at the white crane on this photo again, and said with great certainty: "It's about the same as this time, it seems to be younger." ”
I looked at Bai Yun, and then looked at the person in the photo, although it was a little similar, it shouldn't be the kind of relationship I thought, but at this time, the old man Yan said, "Who are you talking about?" ”
Bai Yun said something about Guan Yue briefly, Old Man Yan nodded, didn't say anything, but pointed at Zhang Mosheng and said, "This person, do you know each other?" ”
My heart says, Know? Not only is it an acquaintance, I have come to this point, and he is really "indispensable".
"This person is a partner of Hanhai Company, and the people in the rivers and lakes call Zhang Ye, the ghost hand."
Old man Yan immediately laughed when he heard this, "Ghost hand? Zhang Ye? This man really exalted him. ”
I was a little puzzled and thought that his reaction was a bit excessive, so I asked him, "What do you mean by that?" ”
Old man Yan snorted coldly and said, "This person, if any of you see it in the future, please ask you to help tell me, and say that I, Yan Kun, are waiting for him on Huangquan Road." ”
I just nodded, and then asked, "Old Man Yan, you have spared for a long time, what do you want to say?" ”
Old man Yan's face began to become a little ugly, he looked at the sleeping Tian'er, and said to us: "This child is not my grandson, nor is his surname Yan, I just said this, just to let him have a thought, after all, if a person does not know where he comes from and does not know who he is, it is a very painful thing." ”
"This person, called Liu Ruolin, he was the youngest one in that operation, he was only sixteen years old at that time, he participated because he was the same as you, he knew the Huangquan ciphertext, after the accident, he almost died in the hanging coffin tomb in order to save me, after we came out alive, he has been living under the mountain, marrying a wife and having children, twenty years ago, his son and my son went out to the ground together, I was because I had to guard the phoenix feathers, so I didn't dare to leave without permission, and the two of them didn't say who to follow, just said to go out, but this time I never came backWhen I went down the mountain to look for him, he was gone, leaving only a note saying that someone had taken away her daughter-in-law, who was the child's mother. ”
I looked at Tian'er and asked, "Liu Ruolin's daughter-in-law was already pregnant when she was taken away?" ”
Old man Yan nodded and said: "At that time, he said that he was going to find people back, and he asked me to continue to guard here, but I waited for twenty years, and no one came back, a month ago, a few strangers came to Xiaying Village, saying that what kind of sketching college student lost the mountain road, that is, at that time, I saw that among these people, one of the leaders was the young man named Ah Si today, but at that time he was not what he is now, but I will not be wrong." I deliberately placed them in a special room where I set up mechanisms so that I could hear what they were saying clearly. ”
Bai Yun said, "When you eavesdropped, you knew their plans, that they would come here again, and that one of them would have a young man with him. ”
Old man Yan looked at Tian'er again and said, "Originally, I wasn't very sure, but when I saw this child, I saw his eyes, his eyes were too similar to Lao Liu's, and besides, the Liu family also has a feature that is not easy to detect, which no one can fake." ”
"What is it?" Bai Yun and I spoke in unison.
Old man Yan stared at my eyes for a moment, and then said, "The Liu family is not Han, they are migrated from the Western Regions, and their eyes can see a faint blue color at night. ”
Blue-eyed people! (To be continued.) )
