Chapter Eighty-Eight: Explain the Aftermath
The monkey felt inexplicably wonderful, his eyes swirled back and forth on the two of us, He Lao Er acted as if there was no one else around, looked at me without looking directly, and continued, "Old man, I have a hunch, I can hide from the first year of junior high school, but I can't hide from the fifteenth. I'm out of energy, and I'm afraid I'll die here today. It's nothing? Fate is set, so I have to let it go. But once I'm dead, to put it mildly, Beiping City will be in chaos, although I've been a little useless and confused over the years. However, the foundation of decades has involved a huge number of parties. So Zhang Wen, old man, I want to give you a small gift, if I really die here, the villa you went to that day and the thousands of people scattered all over the country below will be yours. ”
"What?" Hearing this place, the fat man who had been accompanying Liu Yun beside him exclaimed in surprise, "What you said is true?" ”
He Lao Er smiled, "People are dying, and their words are also good." Of course I don't tell lies, old man. ”
I was stunned and looked at him, what is going on with this second child today, could it be that because he almost lost his life, he began to explain the future? Moreover, how could a big family and a big business think of giving it to me? If it's a joke, it's too much to say.
After a while, I followed Pang Qinghe's words and came back to my senses, "Second master, don't you want to talk nonsense?" This person is in good health, and everyone has successfully completed the task, and then as long as they leave this island safely, it will be over. Why do you still say these unGillette words? ”
I nodded again and again, echoing, "Second master, what Pang Qinghe said is very true, you see that you and I are not related to each other to give such a big gift, no matter how I say it, it is impossible for me to accept it." ”
As soon as the words fell, suddenly He Laoer's hand was on my shoulder, with a serious and frightening expression, and he said solemnly, "Old man, I can have all this now, all thanks to others, and now the deadline is approaching, and returning it to you can be regarded as the fulfillment of a wish." ”
Going around and around, it felt like he was thinking of me for someone else.
"Besides, it's for you, whether you can subdue those guys who lick blood on the tip of the knife to live, it depends on your creation. But if you can convince them to follow, the next road to take, with a little more help, will be much smoother. "He Lao Er seemed to want to convince me.
Kuroko leaned against the wall and looked at him intently, and suddenly said coldly, "It's almost time, it's time for everyone to leave!" ”
Hearing this, I stood up, thinking that this inexplicable word might have been caused by He Laoer's panic, as long as I left the island smoothly and returned to Beiping, I would be able to return to normal. Who knew that as everyone got up, He Lao Er slowly stood up, and the whole person aged a lot, only to see him shaking his head with a smile on his face, "Many times, when you think the story is about to end, it has just begun." ”
I smiled wryly at Kuroko, who still had a dead poker face, and didn't smile. That's it, I don't want to reply to He Lao Er, they are people from two worlds, everyone just leave here as soon as possible, and then go their separate ways.
The return journey was much quicker along the way we came, and in a short time we were back on the ground, and the raging fire had almost burned the whole village to the ground, but there was not much wind today, and the fire had not expanded, and only a few things that were hard to burn were still on fire. But even so, when people walked in, the heat rising from the ground was still baking, and we were a little unbearable.
"Run!" The sweaty Liu Yun said.
The fat man complained while running because he saw Liu Yun's uncomfortable appearance, "I said smoker, didn't you think about what to do when everyone came back when you set the fire?" ”
The smoker took a cigarette in his mouth, and the equipment he carried on his back was discarded, and he suddenly felt as light as a swallow, and he ran with great ease, and when he heard the fat man's words, he only replied with a disregarded look, and with a cigarette in the corner of his mouth, he ran with the monkey to the entrance of the village in the blink of an eye.
"Hey! Ignore me! "The fat man is angry but chases after him.
For a while, everyone seemed to return to their childhood, and you chased after me, so unhappy. In such an atmosphere, the long stretch of hot boulevard soon came to an end.
After that, it was a long hike, and I could vaguely hear the occasional gunshots and explosions of those treasure hunting teams in the distance, and I don't know if they had been busy for so long and whether they had found something of value worth paying so much, but it didn't matter, it was a good thing not to touch them, otherwise they would be angry and ruined that a group of people who had not found the treasure would inevitably have any bad intentions when they saw our heads worth 10 million.
Thinking like this, the steps under his feet suddenly quickened. It took only an hour to get back to the forest, which was quite close to the sea, where everyone had been blocked by the second wave, and a large body had been scorched by the sun for a long time, and the water from the whole body had to evaporate, not to mention the puddles of flesh and blood that had been gnawed by the birds.
To tell the truth, even if there is no backpack, but after such a moment of non-stop walking, everyone is afraid that there are blisters under their feet, their lips are dry, and the degree of longing for water is so great that even if there are mountains of gold and silver in front of them, they will not care at all. Fortunately, when I saw the forest, I saw hope. Just walk through and get on the boat. It's all right.
For a while, everyone was almost dragging their bodies forward, and it took a long time to finally get through the gloomy jungle area, and they really guessed that their feet were on the beach. Not far away, the boat carrying everyone here is peacefully moored on the sea, the boatman Zhou Bo is lying comfortably on the bench with his legs crossed, smoking a big cigarette and blowing the sea breeze, hearing the movement, squinting his eyes to look at this side, and after finding out that it is us, he stretched lazily and waved his hand.
I forced my strength to gather strength, lowered my head to avoid direct sunlight into my eyes, and walked to the side of He Lao Er, who was at the end of the line, "Second master, look, didn't this leave safely?" You're worrying too much. ”
He Lao Er is like a soul wandering and swaying on the **, which is too different from the tired appearance of those of us. He said, "What should come will come." ”
Suddenly, I remembered that when I was a child, an old man in his 90s in the village, the day before he died, all he could talk about the aftermath was to arrange the aftermath, telling his family not to grieve too much after he left tomorrow, and to live a good life. At that time, I used to spend time with him and listen to all sorts of strange stories. I was there that day when I explained these things, but my reaction was the same as his family, he was in such good health, and the village was counting on him to be the first centenarian, how could he die tomorrow?
No one took his words seriously, but that night he couldn't sleep and never woke up!
