I stared at the man's slumped back until he staggered out of the cave and disappeared into the darkness outside, and I couldn't even hear the footsteps. Why did he save me into this cave? Is he the one who secretly cut the rope that binds me? … Regardless of whether it is or not, I feel that this man has no ill will towards me, otherwise he would not have brought me broth... I think he might be a good Samaritan among those Ran Min, right? I couldn't bear to see me die tragically, so he secretly saved me... However, his appearance was so ugly that it was frightening...

I shook my head, sighed, and looked down at my chest, the blood dripped from the black-robed men on my body had already scabbed, and I don't know what time it was. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info My stomach made a 'gurgling' sound, I glanced outside, picked up the broth, blew on the smoke, took a sip, it was not very salty, although there was no seasoning, but I was hungry, but it tasted good. I even shaved the bottom of the pot with meat and soup in one go, but I didn't taste what kind of meat it was.

The heat spread from the stomach to the limbs, and it felt less painful in my body, but there were bruises everywhere. After the previous escape from death, I am sitting here at this moment, my mood is very calm, although I am still a little worried about Master and Xiang Feng, but I believe that they should be fine. So he closed his eyes, didn't think about anything, and recuperated for a while. With a slight regain in my mental strength, I opened my eyes and took a closer look at the cave I was in.

The cave was closed, less than ten square meters, with only one entrance, except for the stone bed under me, and the stone platform where the lamp was placed, and some rough bedding in the corner of the bed, and nothing else. Depending on the situation, this should be the residence of the 'weirdo' just now. Although it was very simple, it was very clean, and it seemed that the 'weird' man was ugly, but he was very hygienic. I just don't know why he didn't live in the same village I saw when I first arrived here, but in such a place. Right now, he's leaving me here alone, and I don't know where I've gone...

After sitting for a while, I wondered what was outside the cave, so I held on to the stone bed with my hands, gritted my teeth and crawled to the edge of the bed, and was about to go down, when I suddenly heard footsteps outside, and hurriedly shrank back...

Listening vigilantly, I breathed a sigh of relief, judging from the footsteps, it should be the 'weirdo' just now. When the man entered the cave, he saw that it was him, holding a black mass in his hand, as if it were clothing. I watched him like this, step by step to my bedside, and handed me the mass of clothes.

"For me?" I pointed to my nose.

The strange man neither nodded nor shook his head, but just held his hand. Up close, his face looked even more terrifying in the light. I didn't dare to look at it more, and I didn't dare say anything more, so I obediently took my clothes.

The clothes were made of tree bark, and the bark was threaded together, probably soaked, quite soft, but very rough, and when I wore it, I rubbed against the bruises on my body, and the pain was indescribable. I gritted my teeth, put on my shirt, and then laboriously put on these strange pants, and broke out in a cold sweat.

The strange man stood there all the time, watching me get dressed, then he pointed out, and then waved at me.

I was stunned at first, but after I reacted, I asked, "Where to go?" ”

The weirdo waved his hand again.

"If you don't make it clear, I won't go with you! …”

As soon as I finished speaking, the strange man suddenly took a step towards me, and I was startled and hurriedly shrunk back.

"You... What are you doing? I asked.

The strange man slowly leaned his face over, and I looked at him in horror, and when his face stopped less than a foot away from me, I saw his 'mouth'-like organ move, and then let out a low sound like metal rubbing...

"If you want to live, come with me..."

The voice came to my ears as shocking as seeing an alien... Although this strange man spoke a little slurred, he could still clearly hear that what he was saying was actually Mandarin! …

"You—" I thought, my expression must have been extremely complicated, and I stared at the strange man with my eyes fixed on him, "Who are you?!" ”

"It doesn't matter who I am, anyway, follow me..."

"Go... Where to go?! ”

"I'm sending you—" the weirdo straightened down and turned his head, "Get out of here..."

"Leave? … Oh good..."

I didn't react for a while, and when I was about to get up and get out of bed, it suddenly occurred to me that the reason why I came here was to check that ancient curse... There are so many of us, it took so much effort to go to Sichuan, and the life and death of Master and Xiang Feng are still unknown, finally I came to the place where these Ran people live, and I haven't found anything yet, how can I leave? …

"Nope! I can't go! ”

The weirdo turned his head, "Why?" ”

"Because—" I thought for a moment and said, "I can't leave anyway!" ”

"Then you're tired of being crooked."

"Even if I'm tired of being crooked, then I won't leave!"

The strange man suddenly reached out and grabbed my wrist.

"Hey, what are you doing?!" I said angrily.

"If you can't leave, you can't leave..."

"You put... Let go... Feed! ”

I should be regarded as a practitioner, although I am not as good as Master and Xiang Feng, but I can cook three or five ordinary people. This strange man is hunched over and walks like he seems to fall when the wind blows. But my wrist was grabbed by him, like a pincer by an iron tong, and no matter how much I shook it, I couldn't shake it off.

"Let's go!"

"I'm not leaving!"

Seeing that he was about to be pulled out of bed, I shouted, "If you don't let go, don't blame me for being rude!" ”

"Hehe," the weirdo smiled dumbly, "Then you're welcome to try..."

"What did you say..."

I raised my leg and kicked at him, but I didn't dare to push too hard for fear of hurting him. I thought he would dodge and let go of me, but before my foot touched him, he quickly reached out with his other hand and grabbed my ankle...

"How?" The weirdo asked.

"You bastard!"

I kicked my other foot the edge of the bed, leaning back, and the uncontrolled hand was clawing wildly.

"Then let's fight," said the stranger, "and if you can break free, I'll let you stay here, and if you can't, follow me." ”

"What the fuck..."

I struggled to no avail, angry and funny, and suddenly I felt an inexplicable affection for this strange man.

I stopped struggling, took a breath, and raised my hand to the cave door, "Oh I'm going, why are you here!" ”

Taking advantage of the fact that the strange man was stunned, he turned his head to look back, and when his hand was relaxed, I struggled violently, but I didn't think that this strange man reacted very quickly, and with a lot of luck, he grabbed it again.

"Hehe, boy, I've crossed more bridges than you've walked, play with me, you're still too tender..."

Hearing this man say this, I suddenly thought of Wan Jinshan's story... Wan Jinshan said that in order to get rid of Gao Qien, he knocked Gao Qien unconscious, threw him into a thatched house, and then set a fire...

I stared at the man's face and blurted out, "Ah, you're Gao Qien!" ”

"What Gao Qien? … Don't try to play tricks with me again..."

Judging from the words of this strange man, he is not Gao Qien, so who is he? Why is it here?

"Boy, what's the matter?"

I snorted, "You're the bastard!" I'm going to do my best, don't blame me for kicking you away! ”

"Hehe, just out..."

I jerked up, and with a wave of my left hand, I hit the rough futon in the corner of the bed, and I don't know if I touched something, and it flew out, and hit the wall of the cave, and fell to the ground.

The strange man let go of my hands and feet like an electric shock and threw himself at the thing. I looked over and saw that it was a boxy, wooden thing, like a box.

The strange man picked up the box in a panic, put it close to his chest and put it in his arms, and wiped it again and again. Depending on the situation, this box should be something he loves like his life, he is hunched over, his arms are a little shaky, it feels very pitiful, I feel very sorry in my heart...

"Yes... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."

The strange man looked up at me, his hoarse voice bitter, "It's not your fault... Boy, you'd better get out of here, or they'll find you sooner or later, and I'll save you once, but I won't be able to save you next time..."

Judging by the tone of his voice, it feels like he's much older than I am.

"Sure enough, you secretly cut the rope to save me, thank you, uncle. However, I can't leave here, I came here because of a very important task, and now that the task is not completed, I will leave, and I can't live with all the people who have paid for it..."

"What task?"

"It's a bit long, I know you're a good person, uncle, if you want to know, I can tell you."

"Hehe," the man smiled, "although it's a bit slippery, but I know that you are also a good person, and what you said, the 'mission' that came here, I think, must also be righteous, if it is inconvenient to say, you don't have to tell me." ”

"Hehe...," I laughed, "By the way, uncle, where are you from, and why are you here?" ”

The man did not speak, but raised his head, although there was no expression on his face, but he felt very lonely to me like this, as if he had touched something sad.

I regretted asking him a little, so I changed the subject, pointed to the box in his hand and said, "It was all my fault just now, I sent this thing flying, in order to make up for my mistake, let me put it back in its place..."

"Huh? Don't blame yourself..."

The man took two steps forward and handed me the wooden box, which, though I was curious about what it contained, was sure I wouldn't open it. Gently taking the box, I glanced at it and realized that it was not a box at all, but a crude photo frame with a photo in it...

With my back to the light, I couldn't see the person in the photo clearly, "Uncle, who is this person here?" ”

"It's my daughter," the man whispered.

"Oh?" I was stunned for a moment, and said casually, "Your daughter? Where is she now? ”

"It's long since I died..."

I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly an indescribable, strange feeling suddenly rose in my heart, and hurriedly turned my body to the side, I pointed the photo to the light, and under the reflection of the light, I saw a familiar face... Yu Xin...
