Volume 3 The Appearance of the Dragons Chapter 52 A Letter
Not long after the conversation went on, she was interrupted by the little nurse who came to the ward rounds, and then she smelled the smell of cigarettes, and there was another burst of rebuke, but fortunately we were all almost recovered, and in the evening after settling the hospitalization fee, we finally left the hospital full of pungent alcohol, and no longer had to open and close our eyes, surrounded by pure white walls.
I've never understood why the hospital rooms have to be white, as if to tell people the fact that "look, you're sick, look at the wall, and your face looks paler." "It's as if this is a huge trap that makes all the people who come to the hospital, who were originally just minor illnesses, unknowingly, become more and more anxious in their hearts, and eventually turn into a serious illness. Don't they understand that there is a saying that 'sickness is born from the heart'?
After leaving the hospital and going back to the hotel to make up the arrears and successfully retrieve the two backpacks, we didn't want to stay in the city any longer, thinking that the time for the one-month appointment was almost up, so we went straight to the train station, bought tickets and got on the bus.
It was only when I got on the train that I had time to think about it to see what Kuroko had picked up from that gloomy little bed. Xiu'er said, "It's not good to do this, it's something left to her by Sister Qinghe's father, we watched it privately, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." ”
Hearing this, Heizi stopped the hand stretched out to the backpack, I saw this, I was curious, where are I willing to endure until Beiping handed over to Pang Qinghe to know what it was that almost lost our lives. hurriedly said, "Sister Qinghe won't care!" Kuroko, take it out! ”
Kuroko nodded: "Actually, it's just an envelope!" He put it on the table.
Sure enough, it was really a slightly fleshed envelope, the mouth was sealed by fire paint, and Kuroko and Xiu'er looked at me together, as if to say: It's what you want to see, then you are responsible for opening it.
Aware of this, I was also a little hesitant. Because once you take it apart, you can't get it back to the original state. But curiosity prevailed, and I thought it wouldn't be a big deal, so I tore open the seal and poured out the contents.
However, there are only two sheets of paper inside, and at a cursory glance. One is a yellowish and old brown paper with a faint pattern on it, which is relatively thick and ancient. The other is a long piece of rice paper, modernized, probably an item from Pang Qinghe's father's era.
Xiu'er saw that after a few days of hard work, there were only two pieces of paper in exchange, and she couldn't help but say with some disappointment, "Ah, just such a thing?" ”
I smiled wryly at her, took the piece of rice paper, and began to read. But I only read the first line. The questions that had been discussed in the hospital were immediately answered. "Look, it's written here!" I excitedly stretched out the rice paper in front of his eyes.
When the two of them saw my gaffe, they looked at me together, and for a short time, their surprise was no less than mine.
Xiu'er didn't seem to believe what she saw with her eyes, and said in a daze, "After taking the pill, Prime Minister Hu really succeeded in rejuvenating and rejuvenating, and lived for nearly 600 years?" This is also an exaggeration. In this way, wouldn't he really succeed in researching the elixir of longevity! ”
Hear the words 'elixir of life'. I immediately thought about whether the three pills that Old Man Shi took away in the underground building also had the effect of immortality.
"It looks so, but it's shocking to say. According to the following records, Pang Qinghe's father went down to the underground building alone and successfully found the main hall. What he did after discovering the baby version of Prime Minister Hu who was sleeping peacefully in the cot was even more shocking! "I paused" Pang Qinghe's father saw the prime minister surnamed Hu who was breathing steadily, and his first thought was not to be surprised by this miracle, but to reach straight to the prime minister's neck and lift him up suddenly. The prime minister couldn't breathe because of the external force that broke through, and suddenly a miserable and sharp cry like a baby came out, Pang Qinghe's father not only did not have the slightest pity when he heard this voice, but the strength in his hand increased sharply, and he shouted hatefully, "You have lived for hundreds of years, and you should die!" ’。 instantly crushed the prime minister's throat. ”
Seeing this, we know the reason why the prime minister can't see anyone alive or dead.
However, there is more to come.
After Pang Qinghe's father killed the prime minister, he casually threw his body at his feet, took out the pen and paper he brought with him, and began to write. Placed in the cot was the letter and the brown paper that the three of us were reading at the moment. After placing it properly, closing the bed cover, and carving the flag pattern on the bed, Pang Qinghe's father planned to leave, but when he saw the body of the prime minister at his feet, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he walked back to the bronze tripod in the courtyard with the corpse in the same way, and made sure that the prime minister was indeed angry, so he threw him into the ding.
"Ahh Isn't that the body controlled by the nine-headed spirit snake before has him in it? Xiu'er said in surprise.
Kuroko shook his head, "The nine corpses controlled by the spirit snake are all adults, and the prime minister described in the letter is a child, maybe he was thrown into the ding, and it rotted." ”
Continue to look down, there are two major discoveries, one is the true identity of Pang Qinghe's father, according to the complicated statements in the letter, the result is that he is actually a high-powered official thief, and his main task is to find the art of immortality for a specific group of people.
It seems that here, I sighed, "If what the letter says is true, sure enough, no matter how the times change, some things have indeed never changed!" ”
And the second point is about the story between him and Pang Sanniang, how to say it? What is to be told behind a bunch of words is actually a very simple truth: that is, his death is not as simple as recorded in the mysterious documents of He Lao Er by outsiders, and it is not that Pang Sanniang wants to take his life, and the bizarre thing is that because the Tao is different, his acquaintance with Pang Sanniang is destined to end in tragedy from the beginning, no matter what happens in private, he is an official, Pang Sanniang is a thief, things have developed to a certain extent, and the two must sacrifice one. And he chose to use his own death to save Pang Sanniang's mother and daughter. This is the secret that Pang Sanniang has always been reluctant to say.
Although I didn't understand how complicated the story was, I couldn't help but feel a hint of sourness, and sure enough, things in the world were far less than what onlookers saw on the surface.
Xiu'er knew the truth hidden behind it, and became worried, "It's been more than half a month since the last time we told Sister Qinghe the so-called truth, I really don't know, will she do anything radical with Pang Sanniang, in case of irreparable consequences, then the responsibility is really on our group!"
