Chapter 69: The idea of the game
After Ah Wu left, He Lao Er greeted him for a while and then left, this time he was going to go far away, if he didn't hurry back to explain, he really couldn't tell what would become when he came back next time. Before he left, the big head specially instructed not to bring too many guys, there were too many people, and it would be more troublesome when the time came. Pang Qinghe also learned the lesson of the last time, and only instructed Amu to choose four of the best people to accompany him to avoid unnecessary losses. After all, this is not to fight in groups, and there is not much point in having a lot of people.
After dinner, everyone went into the house early to rest, I thought about it for a long time, or decided to contact the old ghost, I promised him before, there is news will be contacted in time. I don't know what happened to him now, and whether he was found by the troops after we left.
After calling the number left by the old ghost, it took a long time for someone to respond, and I felt a little weakened when I heard his voice, but when I asked him if something was wrong, he only said that there was no problem. So I informed me of the next progress, thinking that when he received my call, he already knew that it must be something about those people, and after a little introduction, he agreed to see him in Zhoushan two days later.
Xiu'er waited for me to finish the phone call and said, "Is it really okay to inform him?" ”
I can't say for sure, whether it's good or bad for him to be involved in the situation of nine deaths and one life can only depend on himself. "I can't help but make this call, after getting along for a few days, I also have a little understanding of the character of the old ghost, if I don't inform him, he will also rely on his own strength to grope around to find it, and the consequences of that situation can only be one. With us, he gets a psychological end, and the probability is higher. ”
"When is the time for retribution, and if he can let go, how much." Xiu'er sighed.
I shook my head helplessly, "What happened to my father, I don't think most of us can let go calmly, in other words, any of us, even if we run to the ends of the earth, we will definitely find the enemy who killed my father." I can understand his thoughts. ”
"Well, go to sleep, it's not a few hours until dawn."
On the second day, when the sky was slightly bright, and the streets and alleys were still in a state of no one occupied, our group of 14 people took four off-road vehicles to meet He Lao Er and others outside the city, and then went straight to Zhoushan. Along the way, all the people who could drive took turns to drive, and there were a total of six people on He Laoer's side, and two cars followed behind us. In this way, this operation is almost the same as the last time, a team of about twenty people. Naturally, the big head is still the nominal leader.
He Lao Er sat in our car, looked out through the window at the desolate farmland in the late autumn, and said with emotion: "In the past, when we wanted to go to the field, we had to ride horses and walk for ten days and half a month to reach the place, and we rested for three or four days before we started. Times have changed, and now with such a convenient means of transportation as a car, I haven't been out of Beiping City for many years. ”
The fat man smiled, "Although it is true that there is a car, it is not something that everyone can afford, and only you rich bosses can own it." ”
He Lao Er smiled, "Wealth is only for a while, and at a certain time, you will understand that money does not work in many cases, and the real rich rely on relationships, connections, and rights." Like me, I have struggled for most of my life, and in the end I just make wedding dresses for others. ”
Pang Qinghe quipped, "Why is the second master so pessimistic? ”
"It's not that I'm pessimistic, I can't be as shrewd as your mother after all, among those of us, I'm afraid that she is the real peace of mind." Saying that, He Lao Er looked at Heizi, "Fifth brother, how are you doing in recent years?" He hid in Changsha, and the emperor was far away. ”
Hearing this, I suddenly remembered that Hu Wuye of Mingle Guest House was still eager to find the country of gold, and we were able to recognize He Lao Er because of it. So, it's rare that Pang Sanniang really doesn't have the slightest connection with the Golden Country?
Kuroko nodded, "The teacher's body is quite tough, he doesn't ask about the world, and he lives a relatively easy life." This is also a polite remark, when everyone is in Changsha, the crisis faced by Old Man Hu is not small.
He Lao Er looked into the distance, as if he was talking to himself, "If you have a chance, you still have to go and see him, decades have passed, and we, the old bones, should also put those hatreds and resentments aside, lest we end up in a yellow spring." ”
This old man, what the hell is going on, I was wondering if he was saying sad words, but the taro gently pushed me, and whispered in his ear, "He seems to be sick." ”
"Huh." He Laoer's hearing is really good, and he looked at the taro when he heard the sound, "Presumably your medical skill level is quite high, and you can see it without contact." It's a pity that you are wrong, I have seen all the doctors in Beiping City, and they all said that there is no treatment, and there will be two years at most. ”
Pang Qinghe looked quite surprised after hearing this, "Second Master, you..."
"It's nothing, it's that people always have to die, this time I came with you, mainly to figure out some things before I die, but about this, I also hope you can keep it secret, although I don't regret my death, old man, but the family has a big business, and it will take some time to settle properly." As he spoke, he laughed as if self-deprecatingly, "Really, seeing you makes me miss the old days, young and vigorous, and I feel that the whole world can be my own, if it weren't for the nightmarish thing that I was inexplicably entangled in the Golden Country, I'm afraid my current life would be a different situation." ”
When the big head heard the words "Golden Country", he came to his senses and asked, "I don't know why you say that?" ”
He Lao Er sighed, "I know that whatever I say to you now, I can't dispel your momentum of chasing the country of gold, but I still want to give you a word of advice and stop it at the right time." It is true that the rumored Golden Land has countless riches, illusory immortal arts, and unexplained ultimate secrets, but hundreds of years have passed, but no one has succeeded in finding them, and all the teams that are bent on finding them have died halfway through and buried in the wilderness. Moreover, once anyone is really lucky enough to have the exact news, they will soon be chased and killed by an endless number of people behind them, no matter how powerful your team is, easy to dodge with open guns and difficult to defend against hidden arrows. What's more, at that point, it is even more impossible to prevent it, even if you stand at the gate of the Golden Country, the next second, you may lose your life. It is an evil curse, and all those involved in it cannot get out of it, and they will not be able to die well. For this, at my age, I can be regarded as deeply aware of this. ”
Datou continued, "Although this is the case, there are still many people who will follow suit. Everyone has such a stubbornness, and they will not die until the heart of the Yellow River. ”
When He Lao Er heard this, the corners of his mouth grinned, "Back then, the five of us learned the story of the Golden Country by chance, and since then, even if we have embarked on a road of no return, we have not even seen its shadow in the end, and it ended with the death of Brother Zhang." I don't know if you've ever thought that you're looking for it, or if it's looking for you? ”
The fat man was confused and asked, "What does this mean?" ”
"I've had this idea a long time ago, could it be that someone deliberately left clues about the Golden Country in various ancient tombs across the country, so as to attract a certain group of people to work hard in the direction they have arranged, and look forward to seeing who will finally succeed in reaching it. Maybe it's a game that lasts for thousands of years, but no one has ever managed to beat it. ”
Hey, this is a very peculiar idea, a group of people have developed this game, so that all kinds of people who come into contact with this game by chance will want to play it bit by bit, eager to go all the way to the end and win the big prize.
He Lao Erfu said again, "Just like you, did you also embark on this path because of the inspiration of others?" And there has been no turning back since the time of the fight? ”
Everyone fell silent, because as long as they recalled it in their hearts, they knew that what he said was indeed right, from the beginning of northern Shaanxi to the present, everyone seemed to be constantly urged by an invisible force to keep moving forward, and could not stop. If you stop, the beastly crowd behind you will kill you.
It doesn't feel like a vicious circle, for example, we're in the first half of the game, and the higher level of people not only have to rush forward, but they also have to watch out for the pursuers behind them. As for us, we are trying to catch up, and at the same time trying to escape the encirclement and interception of the junior players behind us.
Why? Because the game is set up, only one person can successfully reach the finish line.
