Chapter 0108: Brotherhood
It wasn't until the door of the ward was knocked open by the nurse who was doing the rounds that the three of us woke up from the mysterious underwater ancient city.
After several nurses left on ward rounds, the fat man suddenly said, "Oh... It's no wonder that Long Yao's people have been searching for that mysterious fragment, it turns out that it is the key to opening the Nine Dragon Wall. ”
Li Baqiu nodded heavily, obviously the fat man was not stupid, and he knew where the point was. However, at this time, I didn't have the slightest leisure to praise the fat man, and my heart had already flown to the underwater ancient city of Fuxian Lake.
Li Baqiu had already made it very clear in the story just now, only by gathering the six mysterious fragments that were missing could the magical Nine Dragon Wall be truly opened. And one of the blood-red fragments is in my hand, which means that if I don't go, Grandpa and they will probably fall into the same crisis as they were twenty years ago again.
Thinking of this, my whole body is like sitting on pins and needles, where do I still have the leisure to waste time here to recuperate and see a doctor, but the urge to tear off the plaster cast was suppressed by mature reason. The other one in my mind kept saying: "Ichimo, impulse is the devil, without a good body, even if you arrive at the ancient city at the bottom of the lake, it will only be a useless and useless act..."
After the impulse was suppressed by reason, I began to become calm, and at the same time I thought that the power of one person is always limited, and there must be a team, even if there are only two or three people in the team, it is much better than one person doing it alone.
Thinking of this, I put a small abacus on Hai Fatzi and Li Baqiu, hoping that the two of them could help. The first one I looked for was Li Baqiu, after all, the fat man of the sea is crazy alone, and he usually follows the army without taking ideas.
"Li Baqiu, just now you said that your father also participated in that mysterious trip twenty years ago, right?" I looked at Li Baqiu and pursed my lips and asked.
Li Baqiu was suddenly asked by me, he was a little stunned, and then nodded in astonishment, after all, this is already very clear in the story he said just now, and I am clearly asking knowingly.
After getting Li Baqiu's affirmation, I also nodded slightly. Just when the two of them didn't know why I asked such a question, the expression on my face instantly became serious, and I raised my arm and pointed at Li Baqiu to question Li Baqiu, "Okay, let me ask you, what have you done in the past twenty years as a son of man?" Have you ever thought about looking for your father's body left in the ancient city at the bottom of the lake? ”
Li Baqiu, who was suddenly questioned by me like this, did not ease up for a while, and only after being stunned for a moment did he say with a aggrieved face: "Yishou, you really wronged me, I also told me this secret to your grandfather in Stone Town some time ago, how many days have it been." ”
Li Baqiu said that in the end, his voice became shorter and shorter, until it was inaudible, "Besides, I've been inquiring outside for the past twenty years, do I have to report to you..."
I saw that Li Baqiu had said something to this point, and I knew that it was time to enter the topic of this question, so I stopped beating around the bush and looked directly into his eyes and said, "Okay, in a few days, I am going to go to the bottom of Fuxian Lake to investigate, and you can go with you, which can be regarded as a compensation for your unfulfilled filial piety in the past 20 years." ”
"Huh?" Li Baqiu subconsciously sighed, obviously this decision came too hastily and suddenly, so that he was not prepared.
However, at this time, not only him, but even the sea fat man who was known for his adventurous spirit on the side did not speak again, silently covering the quilt and curling up on the hospital bed, for fear that we would pull this topic on him.
I naturally know very well what the two of them think, after all, twenty years ago, such a powerful team was almost wiped out, if we let these three half-hangers go, wouldn't it be equivalent to sending them to death in vain, and their bodies sink to the bottom of the lake.
I know that at this time, the two of them are not suitable for the strategy of knowing how to reason and move with emotion, but to provoke the law, and even make sarcasm, insults and other words to make the two of them commit.
"Forget it, I can see your Li Baqiu's personality clearly, if you say that the fat man doesn't go, it's understandable, but you Li Baqiu is still a person if you don't go. Your biological father's corpse is sunk at the bottom of the lake and eroded day and night, washed away by time, but you are living secretly in this world, what is the difference between you and the animal without emotion and human nature..."
At the end of the day, I was also drunk, and I didn't know what I was talking about. Where did so many great truths come from.
But I have to say that my nonsense still played a big role, Li Baqiu, a seven-foot man who was alive, was actually told by me with tears in his eyes, and he looked deeply guilty of himself. If he hadn't been afraid of the other patients in the hospital, I could have concluded that he would have cried to death.
Things have come to this point, and I can't say anything more. After all, what needs to be said has already been said, and it's their business to do it next.
I was just about to lie down against the railing of the bed, when I suddenly noticed a cry in the quilt on the other side, and the cry was not very loud because it was covered.
I was stunned and turned around to see that it was a dead fat man hiding in the bed and crying loudly, which couldn't help but make me feel very accomplished.
There was nothing to say that day, and the three of us ignored each other like strangers, just staring blankly at the ceiling.
It wasn't until the next day's dawn that the three of us began to speak, but surprisingly, none of us talked about going to the bottom of Fuxian Lake, and we were all trying to increase nutrition and exercise. Even the best little nurse of the sea fat man was forced to quit, and pasted a note with a knife on his bedside, which was meant to warn himself.
Time passed little by little, and by the time I felt the itching of the wounds all over my body, it had been five days. At this moment, I could no longer bear the depression in my heart, and resolutely removed the plaster cast and bandages on my body under the doctor's persuasion.
The moment I completely removed the bandages on my body, Li Baqiu and Hai Fat Man were also anxious, each tearing each other's bandages, and took off a clean light after dividing five by two, and then put on clothes and signaled that the three of us brothers could travel far.
I knew that the two of them had long had the idea of exploring the ancient city under the lake with me, but they had never been willing to express it, and the brotherhood had reached this point, and everything was in plain sight.
