Chapter 55: The Inn

The owner of this shoe should be called Guo Yu, and the reason why I said yes is because I deduced it from their family's genealogy.

The Guo family has some relationship with our Xiao family, not only in the industry of the two families, but also in the Republic of China, the eldest lady of the Guo family was the quasi-daughter-in-law of our Xiao family, but because of the war, the Xiao family adopted the law of escapism and survival, and the Guo family was from the military circles, and the Xiao family did not want to be involved in the factional competition at that time because of the relationship with the Guo family, so they unilaterally regretted the marriage, and used three million as compensation to make military salaries, so as to help the Guo family stabilize its position in the military circles.

That's why our Xiao family will decline so quickly from a big family overnight, three million silver, almost emptied the Xiao family's savings for more than a hundred years, but because of this, the Xiao family scattered all their wealth in exchange for the peace of the future generations, and the Guo family because they were on the wrong side at that time, although the end was not as tragic as the death of the family, but it was also a withering talent, and the big and small family that was repented by our Xiao family survived.

I looked at this shoe complicatedly, especially the hand-embroidered totem on the insoles, such a Suzhou embroidery skill is rare in the world, and only the hands of the Guo family can embroider it.

"Hydrangea is the totem of the Guo family, the family history is as long as a thousand years, I will not admit this totem, my grandfather hid in the secret room in the basement of the old house before his death There is a record in the codex, he said that the descendants of the Guo family will find it sooner or later, if I meet, let me retreat, it seems that it is not that I do not retreat, but I have nowhere to retreat."

"Why does your grandfather want you to hide?" Bai Yun looked at the insoles that I had pulled out of my shoes, thinking for a moment.

"I don't know, maybe it's the guilt of the Guo family, but maybe there are other reasons, I always feel that this Guo family is haunted by our side, there must be some plan, I just hope that his appearance will not affect our plans."

Bai Yun coughed a few times and looked up at the sky, which was as blue as a giant blue diamond.

"I'm afraid that this underground has been flooded, and these people really don't leave a way back, but it's a pity that those rare treasures and precious historical materials in the tomb, everything is back to zero."

"Return to zero, return to zero, these things that subvert history should not exist in the first place, maybe it is providence, God does not let these things see the light."

"Hmph, you're optimistic."

I threw the insoles back into the waterhole along with the shoes, and smiled with relief, "In the past, I would obsessively look at these histories, want to dig them, and think that one day I would make a splash with these and gain fame and fortune, but later, Jiang Yuan found me and asked me to go to Yunnan with him, so that I knew that the Huangquan Immortal Sacrifice really exists in this world, and the art of death really exists, and even the civilization of another era that we humans have always suspected really exists, and I know that these are enough." ”

I looked at the mountains in the distance and said, "Yes, that's it, give up when it's time to give up, this is the right way to survive." “

Bai Yun didn't say anything, stood up and moved his muscles, "Guan Yue will definitely leave us a message along the way, there is only one way out here, let's go along the forest." “

I think this method is okay, if it is really the Guo family who comes, I don't think he will just take a person who is not a hostage and leave completely.

The road out was also not easy, all kinds of problems, big and small, but they were all overcome, and when we really walked out of the range of Wufeng Pavilion, the sun had already set, and the little remaining light made the real valley shrouded in a layer of warm gold. "This is the South District, you see these equipment bags, they should be left here by Zhang Yang's previous team, Bai Yun went through these backpacks and picked up some useful things and packed them together, and then threw one to me, and carried one on his own back, look at the sky, "It's not early, let's go down the mountain road, there is a village below, where to rest for the night." ”

I nodded yes, but suddenly another question came to my mind and asked, "Did you find the mark left by Ji Yue?" ”

Shaking his head, he twisted open a can of canned beef and handed it to me to eat, he himself opened a can of vegetables, and said as he ate, "I saw one, so we are going in the right direction." ”

When I entered the village, the sky was dark, the night sky overhead was dotted with stars, the moon was big and round, I never knew that it was so good to wake up, the air pollution over the big city was serious, it was difficult to see the stars, this time it was also a feast for the eyes, this kind of thousand-year-old unchanged deep in the mountains, there was no pollution, the air was the purest, the bright stars were shining and beautiful, I couldn't help but stretch out my right hand to pick one, Baiyun laughed at me for being a child, I just smiled.

There were almost no people in this village, and that was the first feeling I had for me, but soon I realized how stupid I was, because it wasn't that there was no one, but that the villagers had all gone out, and when Bai Yun and I were walking on the dirt road in the village with our backpacks on our backs, the villagers who had gone out suddenly came back, and when they saw us, they looked very surprised, as if they had seen ghosts, and a few of the timid ones had even run away.

I didn't chase it, I just continued to stand in place and stare at the villagers, and finally the village chief stood up, because the villagers were holding torches instead of flashlights, which made me feel like a martial arts film hero conference.

"Who are you?" The village chief said these four words in a trembling voice, and then cautiously retreated to the middle of the villagers.

I pointed to the huge black shadow behind them and said, "We came out of there, may I ask if this is Longyan Village." ”

Bai Yun was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood something, and asked like me: "Fellow, don't be afraid, our brothers are not bad people, we are from the scientific expedition team, I want to come here to investigate, I heard that a large area of grotto murals appeared in Longyan Village, we are here to investigate." “

He said something serious, and his acting skills were much better than mine, the village chief seemed to really believe it, hid behind a very strong village man, and immediately poked his head out after hearing Bai Yun's words, and said, "You said that you are from the expedition team, then which expedition team are you from." “

I immediately said, "From the Qinling Research Institute, from Xi'an." “

The village chief immediately stood up, his expression was very excited, he walked over in three steps and two steps, and grabbed my hand, which caught me a little off guard, so I could only face the scalp and cooperate.

"You're here, if you don't come, those murals will be destroyed."

Seeing that he was about to cry, I exchanged glances with Bai Yun, and said in my heart, is there really something wrong here, is there really an ancient rock mural?

I immediately helped him, let him relieve his emotions, and persuaded: "Isn't this coming, the mountain road is not easy to walk, delay some time, don't worry, tell me about the situation first." ”

At this moment, a teenage boy came running over, first looked at me and Bai Yun, then turned to the village chief, and said, "Dad, that person wants to ask you for some gauze and potion." ”

Before the village chief could speak, I preemptively asked, "How many of them are there?"

The little boy gestured with the number two and said; "Two. (To be continued.) )
