Chapter 49: Xiyang 01
It wasn't the first time I'd spent the night in the woods, but it was a long night, and there was a faint sense of fear in my heart.
The hands of my watch are fixed at four o'clock, my watch is tens of thousands of dollars, and things at this price generally do not have accidents, so it should not be a problem with the watch.
The whirring wind mixed with a few crow-like cries made people feel creepy, and I tightened my gear suit, rolled over and pretended to sleep, closing my eyes and listening to the movements around me with my ears.
Jiang Yuan and Qianjue's conversation was intermittent, except for what I heard about me before, the rest was some things between them, what company, statements, or shares, etc., gradually there was no sound, I looked at it with empty eyes, and both of them fell asleep.
After more than half an hour or so, I suddenly felt that something was moving in the forest not far away, I was very vigilant to hold half of my body to look in that direction, nothing could be seen in the dark, just when I thought it was my nervousness, a very light sigh came from the depths of the dense forest in front of me, this time, I was startled, instantly cold sweat, I didn't dare to move, just held my breath and watched quietly.
A sound of dead leaves being trampled and cracked came, I was sure that there were people over there, stood up very vigilantly, and slowly moved in that direction, in order not to alarm others, I walked as far as possible to step on the place where there were no fallen leaves, three jumps and two jumps have walked out of seven or eight meters away, and when I looked back, the three people were still asleep.
"This way." An unfamiliar voice came softly.
I felt that this person shouldn't hurt me, so I decided to check it out, in the dark. I didn't turn on my flashlight, and I was moving completely according to the sound of footsteps coming from a distance of three or four meters in front of me.
Under the tree. A thin man dressed in black turned on the miner's lamp, and I looked at him. I swallowed deeply, damn it, this is a popular student from which crew in Hengdian.
He looked at me, his eyes turned three hundred and sixty degrees on me before he let go of his doubts, and said lightly: "It's really not easy to see you alone once." ā
I smiled, "Look at what you said, I'm not a big person, you wanted to see me half a year ago and just go directly to my shop, this half a year." It's a bit of a hassle. ā
When the man saw that I was talking easily, he was immediately a little puzzled and asked, "Don't you ask me who I am?" ā
"Does it matter who you are? In the past six months, I have met too many strangers, asked too many times who are you, tired of asking, and tired of asking. ā
The man handed me a business card, and I took it and looked at it, and I was a little surprised. The business card had two words written on it, "Xiyang." ā
I've seen the name, but it's on the tombstone.
"Your name is special, though. I don't seem to have much to do with you. ā
Xiyang threw me a package, "I'll help you open the Xihai Submarine Tomb and let you get what you want." ā
I opened the package. Inside was a roll of gold silk, and his words were heard. I just laughed, "You don't just know what we're up to. And take the initiative to help us, what is your purpose? ā
Xiyang smiled, with an unpredictable coldness in his mysterious smile, "I help you because I need your help." ā
I leaned against the tree next to me, "What do you mean?" ā
Xiyang threw me a gold coin, in terms of feel, one side of the carving, the other side of the lettering, he saw that I took the gold coin, and then paused for about thirty or forty seconds before saying: "I'm looking for an ancient tomb, but I need a few helpers, in the past few years, I have looked for a lot of people, but few are qualified, you are the last one, I hope you can join us." ā
I thought of the lonely grave I had seen in the barren mountains and mountains, and the tombstone on the lonely grave, and then thought of Jiang Yuan and Qianjue, and nodded: "Okay, as long as you help me find the submarine tomb in the shortest possible time, no matter what the result is, I will follow you." ā
Xiyang smiled, "Xiao Fang, no, I should call you Guan Yue, you have to understand one thing, follow me, it means that you are going to die, all my people are people who have disappeared in this world, and the place I want to go can only be gone to by dead people." ā
"I know."
"You know?" He was a little confused.
I looked at him and said, "I once saw a tomb on a mountain, and the owner of the tomb is also a man named Xiyang, I think, that person is you, you faked your death and escaped from the sight of everyone, and I am about to follow in your footsteps, I will die in this underwater tomb, right?" ā
Xiyang nodded, "Yes, I will help you and make you disappear perfectly in front of those three people." ā
He saw that I didn't speak, and continued: "Guan Yue, your existence will put all the people around you into a crisis, whether it is the Xiao family or the Guan family, they will all be wiped out because of the exposure of your identity, I will make you disappear perfectly, you are gone, those battles will have nothing to do with you, they will also start new fights, and the people you care about will stay away from this war that is about to break out because of your disappearance." ā
I nodded and applauded him very solemnly, "Well said, these words have been held in my heart for a long time, and when I came out of your mouth today, I realized that my own thoughts were correct, indeed, my existence involves too many things, I disappeared, and everyone will return to their own tracks to continue living, whether it is fighting or ordinary." ā
Xiyang smiled, walked over and patted me on the shoulder, "There is one thing I can tell you, so that you won't be too sad during this time." ā
"What's the matter?"
"The Xiao family and the Guan family originated from one family, at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the family split into two branches, the Xiao family was in business and took refuge in the concession forces at that time, and the other branch was the Guan family, which took refuge in the commander of the Sichuan army at that time, so you are still you, nothing has changed."
The other words didn't feel much to me, but the last sentence "You're still you, nothing has changed" seemed to mean something else, and I just smiled, "Okay, I promised you, and you have to agree to my request, take us out of here first." ā
Xiyang looked up at the sky, the fish belly was white, "It's almost dawn, you go back quickly, I will mark you in front, and then take you out, after you go out, you can trust the person named Bai Yun." ā
"Why?" I saw that he was leaving, and immediately chased after him and asked.
"Bai Yun is the only loyal person by Old Man Guan's side, and the same is true for you, he will not betray you, so you can trust him."
He turned around to leave, but I stopped him again, "Wait, let me ask you, why are you sure that I am really Guan Yue, my own life experience, I can't be sure of myself, although I have doubted it, but no one can come up with evidence at present, and there are many different things to say about this matter." ā
Xiyang turned his back to me, tilted his head slightly and said: "The incident of more than 20 years ago is also very time-consuming to talk about, you want to know, when you understand the matter here, join my team, and I will naturally tell you." ā
"That'sā"
The man was gone, and I looked at the place where he had disappeared, and I felt a sense of loss in my heart. (To be continued.) )
