In the darkness, I was immersed in the infinite grief of the loss of my loved ones, and the happiness came suddenly and briefly, and I was heartbroken.

I have to live alone in this cruel and strange world, the tragic scenes of begging at the train station, one by one, the indifferent world makes me feel hopeless, and I have the idea of dying.

Suddenly, the ground beneath my feet began to shake, and then it began to crumble and collapse, and before I could understand what was going on, my body had fallen downward, and then I soon fell involuntarily into an ice cave. The cold instantly eroded my internal organs, and I struggled to swim to the surface as hard as I could, holding on to my frozen body, and just as I squeezed the last breath of oxygen out of my lungs, I struggled to surface.

It was no longer pitch black, and a ray of sunlight made me open my eyes suddenly, and I began to cough violently, only to find that my body was not soaked in water, but lying on a wooden bed. And the fat man, who had disappeared just now, was standing next to my bed at this time.

When the fat man saw that I was awake, he immediately leaned over and shook his hand in front of my eyes, and then asked, "What is this, do you know me?" ”

I sat up from the bed and found myself drenched from the inside out, as if I had been drenched in heavy rain, and my hair was still dripping down. The surrounding qiē was very unfamiliar, and I couldn't help but wonder: Did I really fall into the water just now? But I'm used to water, and I can't still be so wolfish as if I'm drowning, and I don't remember anything.

So, I was very puzzled and asked the fat man, "What's wrong with me?"

The fat man didn't answer my question directly, but said to me: "I'll introduce you to someone first, you have to thank the people, he is your savior, if he didn't come to the rescue, you would have died a long time ago." With that, he looked behind him.

Only then did I realize that there was a strange man standing behind the fat man, probably a few years older than me, with a pair of piercing eagle eyes that seemed to see all the world, and nothing could shake the vicissitudes of life in his eyes. He had an old man's cigarette in his mouth, and it was a hot day, but he was wearing a high-necked sweater, and he was covered tightly all over his body, as if he was particularly afraid of the cold.

The fat man looked at my confused eyes and recounted what had happened after I passed out.

It turned out that I was near the gate of the village just now, and suddenly my eyes were inexplicably dazzled, and a rotating colorful circle of light appeared in front of me, and then I fainted weakly, in fact, it was all because of Gu poison, and the person who applied the poison was the old Miao man who knocked me down before and tied a colorful turban.

According to the man with the cigarette in his mouth, he had a grudge against the old man of the Miao tribe, but he did not say what the feud was. He traced the enemy all the way to here, and found the traces of the old man with a colorful turban, and after the old man applied Gu poison to me, he injured him, so that the old man of the Miao nationality was devoured by the Gu worm and died of exhaustion.

Then the man with the cigarette in his mouth walked to the fat man's side, claiming to be a "cigarette man", and said to the fat man that I had been poisoned by Gu, and his name was "Lust Gu". People who have been poisoned by this kind of Gu will be in a coma, realize the greatest wish in their hearts, and then die with a smile on their faces. The fat man saw that the smoke man knew Gu poison so clearly, so he begged him to come to his rescue and carried me to a nearby house for treatment.

After finishing the story, the fat man asked me, "Lao Zheng, why did you cry just now?" Did you realize some good wish before you cried happily? ”

I remembered the fantasy that appeared in the coma after the poisoning, and I couldn't help but feel a little melancholy, so I said to the fat man in an unhappy mood: "Realize a fart, if I realize my wish, I will have to laugh and sell pull-out candy, and cry a ball." However, how did my Gu poison be resolved, and is there any residual Gu poison left on my body now? ”

The fat man replied to me: "Brother Smoke said that as soon as the owner of Shi Gu dies, the Gu poison will be naturally resolved." Then spray your face with cold water, and you can wake up, I see that your face has turned from blue to black, for fear that the poisoning is too deep, and the water will not wake you up if there is less water, so I laboriously lifted a whole bucket of water and splashed it on you. ”

I was wondering why I was soaking wet all over my body, and it turned out to be such a reason, so. glanced at the fat man, and said angrily: "Thank you for your thoughtfulness." ”

The fat man smiled shamelessly and said, "Fat man, my shot is absolutely extraordinary." Guan Bao seized the high ground in one fell swoop. ”

I ignored him, stood up and walked to the cigarette man who had not spoken, stretched out my hand gratefully, and said to him: "Famous Sven, thank you for the rescue just now, although the great kindness is not thankful, and the grace of saving my life cannot be repaid, but I still want to invite the little brother to have a meal and talk about my heart." ”

The cigarette man stood up and shook hands with me, his fingers were thin and long, very beautiful, but cold like the temperature of a corpse, but I didn't see that he looked frail and sickly, how could his hands be as cold as if they had just been taken out of the ice cellar, I felt a chill from my palms, reaching the bottom of the scalp.

The cigarette man had a cigarette roll in his mouth, and said briefly with some vague words: "In the smoking man, the meal is free, I still have something to do, and we will have a date later." With that, he picked up his backpack on the ground and walked out the door.

I didn't react to his cold and resolute attitude for a while, I was stunned on the spot, the fat man turned around to chase him out, I stopped him with a smile, turned around and shouted loudly to the back of the cigarette man outside the door: "If you go to Beijing, remember to go to the other place to find me." ”

When the smoke man heard this, he stopped, then turned his head and looked at me and the fat man with a playful expression, and then the corners of his cold mouth were bent upward, and he replied "yes" with a smile, and then all we were left with was his slender back.

The fat man was behind me and said meaningfully: "Another man with a story." However, this cold attitude of rejecting people is really unbearable. ”

Hearing the fat man's words, I suddenly remembered that he had said the same thing to the man with glasses, which made me wonder if it was a coincidence that bad things happened one after another, or if I was too careful. I have always felt in my heart that this series of things is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface, and there may be some kind of connection between them.

I asked the fat man with some anxiety: "Fat man, did the smoke man tell you just now, who is the old Miao man who poisoned me?" Why do you want to harm me? ”

The fat man looked at me dumbfounded, and said something that made me almost vomit blood: "I forgot to ask." ”

While changing my clothes, I counted down the fat man and said, "Comrade Fat Man, why do you always drop the chain at critical moments, such an important thing, you forgot to ask, you have a big head, what can you remember besides eating?" ”

The fat man replied on the side: "Lao Zheng, it's too hurtful for you to say that, I didn't mean to forget it for a while." Besides, you look at the cold attitude of the little brother who smokes and rejects people thousands of miles away, in other words, who will want to talk to him about family life. I don't think the old man of the Miao nationality did it intentionally, it should be your own bad luck and was inadvertently bumped into by him. ”

I remembered Lily's condition before, and the faint uneasiness in my heart spread like a haze, and after changing my clothes, I immediately said to the fat man, "Let's go, go see Lily again." ”

The fat man immediately understood my intentions and asked me, "Do you doubt it?"

Before the fat man's words were finished, I immediately nodded in agreement with his thoughts, and the fat man said suspiciously: "No, I think it's a coincidence, and the two things can't be a deliberate conspiracy against the two of us." Besides, didn't the glasses kid say that Lily's girl was bitten by a poisonous insect and passed out with allergies? ”

Ignoring the fat man's optimistic thoughts, I dragged him again to the farmhouse where Lily was resting. I didn't see the man with glasses after entering the door, probably out. Lily hadn't woken up yet, there was an old grandmother beside her who was taking care of her, the fat man tried to talk to her, she not only had her ears behind her back, but she didn't speak Mandarin, and the fat man and I couldn't communicate with her, so we had to sit aside and wait for the man with glasses to come back.

However, when it was completely dark and the man with glasses did not come back, we had to find a farmhouse to rest. I soaked my feet in a big wooden barrel with the fat man, and the fat man asked me, "Lao Zheng, you said that the person who has always wanted to harm us both is the old man of the Miao nationality." ”

I pondered for a moment and replied, "If only it were, he is dead, and he will no longer pose a threat to us in the future, I am afraid that things will not be as simple as we think." Assuming that the previous poisoning in the woods was inadvertently used by Lily as a shield, then this matter is complicated. ”

The fat man said negatively: "Lily's is not a Gu poison, it's just an ordinary poison, it should have nothing to do with it." ”

I said with a solemn face: "If his purpose is only to delay the two of us entering the mountain, what does it matter if he is poisoned. Anyway, we don't know how to do medical skills, so we will definitely go home. Maybe the previous little warning didn't work, and he would jump over the wall to apply Gu poison. After I finished speaking, I lifted my foot out of the barrel, wiped it dry with a rag, and muttered to myself: "What is the ulterior motive of the manipulator behind this scene, why would he extend his black hand to two newcomers who have little reputation in the inverted fighting world." Maybe the two of us are just hors d'oeuvres in front of him, and his ultimate goal is Master. Those who dare to touch the master may have completely exceeded our imagination, and it seems that the two of us will have to enter the mountain tomorrow no matter what. ”

After listening to me, the fat man gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Regardless of whether he is the king of heaven and Lao Tzu, he dares to provoke strangers, once I catch them, I will chop them all into dumpling filling." ”

I also said with a cold smile on my face: "No matter how big this mystery is, the truth will be revealed one day, so let's play with them in this puzzle and see who will die in the end." ”
