Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Arrival of Fifth Master Hu
According to the plan, today is the second day of the funeral, and the purpose is to wait for friends who came from remote places, after all, He Lao Er has stayed in Beiping City in his middle and old years and has hardly left. But when they were young, the five of them traveled from south to north and south, and they also made friends with like-minded people in various places. And from the beginning of the dawn, friends who were dusty also arrived one after another. Most of those who came to pay their respects last night have left, and only a few close friends have stayed to prepare for the full journey.
The cemetery has been chosen, and we are waiting for tomorrow to be buried. Today is almost the same as yesterday, and it is strange to say that people's mindsets can change so quickly. Looking at this scene now, I couldn't even raise much interest, and after a while, I closed the curtains boringly, went back to bed, and prepared to rest for a while, recuperating for the solemn burial ceremony tomorrow.
Who knows, not long after closing his eyes, there was a sudden knock on the door. I exclaimed impatiently, "Who! ”
Kuroko's deep voice came, "Mosquito, are you still sleeping?" Xiu'er, they are waiting for you below for lunch. ”
"Ahh Speaking of which, I remembered that Xiu'er was gone. "Okay, wait for me, I'll come right away!"
Hurriedly got out of bed, opened the door, only to see a person standing next to the sunspot, I rubbed my hazy eyes, fixed my eyes, hey, isn't this the owner of Mingle Guest House!
"Fate is really playing tricks, I didn't expect to return to Beiping City again, but I attended the funeral of my second brother, but look at your group of people, but you have also jumped from an unknown junior to a popular figure who can now hear rumors everywhere. Let's go, go down to eat, the old man still has a lot of questions to ask you for advice. "Seeing each other again, a very intuitive feeling immediately appeared, the five-person group of the year, the eldest brother surnamed Zhang is dead, Qian Laosi is nowhere to be found, and among the remaining three, in terms of liking and amiability, Hu Wuye is definitely the first, and then to He Laoer, and finally Pang Sanniang was thrown far away.
The three of us went downstairs together, and Hu Wuye said with a smile, "When the old man just arrived this morning, he heard a very interesting thing, mosquito, did you really hit Pang Sanniang last night, and made her so angry that she turned around and left?" ”
I squeezed out a smile embarrassedly, and Hu Wuye already knew the answer when he saw this, "You are so bold, if you were Sanniang when she was young, which person who contradicted her like this would not die extremely miserable, how could she still see the sun the next day like you." He shook his head, "To be honest, I really don't want to see her. ”
Hearing this, I said, "I lost face like that last night, maybe she won't come back today." ”
"Alas, she will, I have not been willing to step into Beiping City for decades is not unfounded, when we broke up, it was very clear that she took her sunny road, I crossed my single-plank bridge, and each other's wells did not interfere with the river water. Although these grievances and hatreds have passed for decades, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not hold grudges. ”
Xiu'er sat at a table in the corner, waving at me, Hu Wuye saw her and asked playfully, "That girl is the one who called to say your daughter-in-law after you left last time?" She looks really good, you kid is really blessed, but why does it seem that you have always taken her with you? ”
The three of them sat down, I didn't know how to answer this question, the fat man smiled and asked, "Boss Hu, after we left Changsha, are you okay?" ”
Hu Wuye nodded, "There is a little fight, but at least it can be stabilized for the next ten years, by the way, the ancient tomb you entered later was forcibly opened by those people, but unfortunately, most of the buildings inside have been destroyed, and the old man went to take a look, as if it was blown up by a large amount of gunpowder." I haven't been able to find a chance to ask, but now it's time to ask clearly, did you blow it up before you left the tomb? ”
Hey? It's strange to say this, we have caused some shocks at most, where is there such a thing as blowing up the ancient tomb, the big head looked at Hu Wuye suspiciously, and asked, "Are there traces of gunpowder blowing up?" Are you sure it's not caused by a collapse? ”
He shook his head, "The old man can still tell this, it is indeed a large amount of gunpowder detonated in all directions, causing the ancient tombs of different ages from top to bottom to be blown up cleanly. There are even some undead guys who venture down and try to find anything related to the previously rumored Warring States artifact, but it is all in vain, and many people have been smashed by the unstable boulder above. ”
Speaking of gunpowder, we can only look at the smoker, who is holding a cigarette, and greeted everyone's eyes in confusion, and said dissatisfiedly, "Why are you looking at me, everyone is together all the time, how could it be that I blew it up, not to mention, we didn't have so many explosives at that time to cause that effect." If you want to say anything, the most likely is Zhang Wei and Zhang Yao, the two brothers, after they left from the ancient tomb of the Western Zhou Dynasty below, they did not know their traces, perhaps because they were afraid that someone in the back would know the truth about the two, so they decided to completely erase all those traces. ”
Speaking of the two Zhang brothers, I don't have any impression of their appearance in my mind, but despite this, I always have a faint feeling in my heart that at some point in the future, these two will definitely appear again.
The old man also looked away, the two of them turned out to be the descendants of the Golden Country, pretending to be mixed in the team and hiding for several years, could it be said that it was for the ancient tomb. I have to say, the perseverance is amazing. ”
I remembered a little and said casually, "Actually, there is another possibility, Boss Hu, I forgot to ask you before, in the tunnel at the beginning of the entry, the five corpses lying underground one after another were caused by you before us, right?" ”
He nodded and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”
"That operation, the Zhang brothers also participated?"
"Yes! That's why the old man sent the two of them to accompany you in. ”
"But Zhang Wei told us that the hands of the five corpses were not cut off by them, and besides, the six people you were facing at that time!"
"Huh?" Hu Wuye didn't seem to remember clearly, and a confused look appeared on his face, only to see him frowning and thinking for a long time. "At that time, the situation was very chaotic, we were in a hurry, and we didn't bother to check how many corpses there were on the ground, but now that you say this, the old man remembers that there are indeed six people on the other side." ”
"Well, at least here, it's consistent with what Zhang Wei said, but this can also show that the hands of the five corpses were cut off by the surviving sixth person." As he spoke, I looked at the big heads, "Do you remember when you met that spider ancestor, you panicked and wanted to run out of the stone gate, but found that the stone gate didn't know who closed it?" Could it be that this sixth person has never left, but has secretly lurked around us and has not appeared, closing the stone door at a critical time, wanting us to become the meal of the spider ancestor? And finally completely destroyed those two underground buildings? ”
