I asked Ling Jitian about Ling Xiao, that is, Yu Xin, before her death and when she had a 'strange disease' until her 'afterlife', the beginning and end of all things, when talking about the Ran clan's 'holy relics', the loss of the bronze man, I never expected that Ling Jitian would bring out another thing while talking... That is, about the village where Uncle Yang and I had been before, that is, in the village where we met Master Ah Feng and them, there was an inexplicable death of a little soldier of the Red Army... After the death of the little soldier, the superiors sent a 'cadre surnamed Xu' over... The shock in my heart is beyond words, who will this 'cadre surnamed Xu' be? Who could it be?! …

Just as he was about to ask, Ling Jitian suddenly blew out the lamp, and the room immediately fell into darkness. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

I was startled, "Uncle Ling, what's wrong?" ”

"Don't make a sound..."Ling Jitian said in a low voice, "I feel as if someone is coming..."

Person? … I was startled, and my mind immediately returned to reality from the past world described by Ling Jitian... Pricked up my ears and listened, and sure enough, I heard a faint voice in the distance outside, and said in my heart, didn't Ling Jitian say before, in this place, those Ran people won't come over? It seems that sometimes, people are indeed not as good as heaven...

I groped my way over and said in a very low voice, "Uncle Ling, why don't we get out of this room?" ”

"No..."Ling Jitian reached out and pressed my arm, "This place, only this room can hide..."

In a few moments, the visitor came to a place not far from the house...

"Is this the place?" Boss Cao's voice.

"Well, I said, that person, I can't find anyone here..."

"The more you think it's impossible, the easier it is to become possible. Have you thought about it? That boy was obviously tied to the altar by you, but why did the rope that bound him suddenly break? I suspect that there may be an inner ghost among you who secretly cut the rope and let him go. That kid can't find this place, but what if the inner ghost brought him here? Just now we went back to see that the person who helped you guard the tomb was no longer in that cave, and I don't know where he went, I always felt that there was a ghost in that person..."

I cursed in my heart, this bastard, sooner or later I'm going to abolish you...

The leader didn't know what to say, and a crowd of footsteps came to the house...

My heart hung in my throat, at this time, Ling Jitian reached over and grabbed my arm, the heat and strength from his palm made me feel certain, and my heart said, it's a big deal to fight with them...

At last they came to the house, and the light of the torches shimmered through the crack in the door.

"Ahh Boss Cao shouted, "Sure enough, someone has come, the people in the house listen, you have been surrounded, hurry up!" ”

I thought to myself, could it be that when we went to the door first, we dropped something in the doorway, and now this bastard saw it? … I gritted my teeth and was about to get up, Ling Jitian suddenly pulled me, and then pinched my arm hard, what he meant should be that I didn't move...

"Didn't this door be locked before?" Just listen to Boss Cao's question.

The leader let out a low 'um', and then there was a dead silence... I clenched my fists and stared at the door, ready to fight for my life.

"What are you going to do?!" The leader asked urgently.

"Kick this door open!" Boss Cao said.

"No, you can."

"Why?"

"Because, here, is one of the holy places of our clan, left by our ancestors."

"That's... Send two men into this house and have a look. Boss Cao said.

"No, here, unless someone violates the clan rules and is sent in, they can enter, and at other times, our people can't enter... Therefore, if you want to enter, you can only enter by yourself. ”

"So... Listen, people in the house, you better come out on your own, don't wait for me to go in! ”

Hearing this, I understood that this bastard didn't notice anything at all, he was bluffing. He knew very well in his heart that if I really hid in this house, once I was discovered, I would definitely be desperate, and whoever bore the brunt of the front would be unlucky, even if I didn't die, I would have to be crippled... I secretly admire Ling Jitian's mind, everyone has weaknesses, if he wasn't too affectionate, he wouldn't have been taken advantage of in the first place...

Boss Cao shouted twice more, but we still didn't respond. The leader said, "I said, that man, it's impossible to come here..."

Boss Cao didn't speak, it seemed to be hesitating, in the end, he still didn't have the courage to push the door in to check, but said, it looks like it's really not here, let's go...

Listening to the footsteps fading away, I slowly breathed a sigh of relief. When the footsteps were completely inaudible, I crept to the door, opened a gap, looked outside, and turned back and said that they were gone.

Ling Jitian 'clicked' to light the fire.

"Uncle Ling, don't light the lamp."

"It's okay, they won't come again." Ling Jitian said with certainty, and then lit the oil lamp.

A false alarm just now made me break out in a cold sweat, wiped it with my hand, and I sat down next to Ling Jitian.

"Uncle Ling, you can go on."

"Well, where did you just go?"

"Speaking of which, after the death of that little soldier of the Red Army, the superiors sent a cadre surnamed 'Xu' to the village where you stayed."

"What's going on, I also heard from that Ran Guohua told me."

"Then you can repeat to me what he told you at the beginning."

"Hmm..."Ling Jitian stared at the flames of the oil lamp faintly, falling into memory, "... Ran Guohua told me that the cadre surnamed Xu appointed by the Red Army superiors has the same name and surname as a senior cadre of a Red Army unit..."

"Xu Xiangqian, isn't it?"

Ling Jitian glanced at me, "I don't know much about this, Ran Guohua didn't say it." ”

"Okay, you can move on."

Ran Guohua said that the cadre surnamed Xu came to the village and walked around the village for two days, only to find that there was something that came along the river outside the village and then lived in the village. In order to calm that thing, when he was leaving, that Xu cadre ordered the villagers of that village to build a temple, on the top of a mountain next to the river..."

Hearing this, I nodded.

After leaving the village, Cadre Xu did not immediately return to the headquarters of the Red Army, but decided to find out where that thing came from. He walked along the river for a long day and came to a small Tibetan village deep in the mountains, and from the mouth of a Tibetan he learned that there was a valley outside their village, which was shrouded in fog all year round..."

Tibetan villages... Could it be that we stayed in the village, the 'Daddy Nima'? … If we had known this earlier, we would have walked along the village where we met with Master, and the river outside the village, so why do we need to take the Ancient Tea Horse Road? …

"After that Xu cadre heard about it, he went to that valley, and then he didn't know what method he used, he found this place where these Ran people lived in seclusion, and broke in... Ran Guohua said to me that cadre Xu was the second outsider to enter their hermitage after 'Yang Xiansheng' in so many years. At that time, as for how to deal with the Xu cadres, the people in the clan were divided into two factions. Some advocated that he should be tied to a snake pillar and burned to avoid future troubles. The other part saw that he had long eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and that he spoke gently, and did not look like a bad person, so they advocated not killing him, but they could not let him go and left him behind. In the end, the patriarch adopted the latter proposition, did not kill Xu cadres, and kept him. Later, the clansmen learned that the reason why this was the case was because the patriarch's daughter fell in love with the Xu cadre, so they helped him beg... The mistake of Yang Xiansheng back then was repeated again, but this time, what this Xu cadre took away was not the holy relics of the Ran clan, but the daughter of the patriarch..."

I couldn't stop listening to the bridge, and all of a sudden, I realized something... This so-called 'Xu cadre', if it is Xu Shi Xu Xiangqian, we know that 'Xu Shi' once had a wife before he lived in Gaojia Village and married the daughter of Gao Laozhuo... According to Gao Laosan's account, at the beginning, Xu Shi led people to expand the arsenal to dig a cave, and found the stone room, as well as the 'monster' in the side cave, those sappers were all dead, only Xu Shi escaped alone, and Xu Shi's first wife at that time, because she pulled him out, she didn't know what was scratched on her arm... Later, the project was stopped, the company was urgently transferred, on the way to transfer, they were ambushed by the Japanese army, several battles down more than half of the dead and wounded, the remnants were chased out of Taihang Mountain by the Japanese army, after more than ten days, came to Wei Niuniu's town. As soon as he arrived in the town, 'Xu Shi''s wife was killed by a stray bullet, and turned into a 'monster', Xu Shi relied on 'her' to kill the Japanese soldiers surrounding the town. Before the company dispersed, they built a brick tomb by a pond outside the town, and Xu Shi took her wife inside... Decades later, a young couple went there to cheat, crushed the tomb to a hole, was found by an old man herding sheep, alarmed the Cultural Relics Bureau, from the tomb to take away the undecomposed child's body, the Cultural Relics Bureau gave it to the scientific research institute, and was later stolen by Wanjinshan. Later, in Wei Niuniu's town, a man who pulled steel was drunk and drove back, and ran to the 'old village' by mistake, and found and took away the child. Because the child was causing trouble in the town, Boss Yan invited me to go out of the mountain, and after finally finding out, the child was knocked off one of his legs by Xiang Feng with a lonely rune. And not long ago, by the stinky river on the back wall of the funeral parlor in our city, Yuxin and I also fought with the 'child'... We have always called it 'Little Monster', it is the one that Xu Shi's first wife was pregnant with, Lao Hu, Wan Jinshan, Gao Laosan and their three brothers, half-brother'...

After listening to Ling Jitian's remarks now, I said in my heart, could it be that the so-called Xu Shi's first wife is the daughter of the patriarch of the Ran clan? And that 'little monster' has the blood of the Ran clan? … I think there is such a possibility, at the beginning, Gao Laosan only told us about the first wife his father Xu Shi married in the army, and did not say what the origin of that woman was... No, I clearly remember that Gao Laosan said that the woman was educated, so she was appointed as a clerk to assist Master Xu. The engineering diary that Yuxin and I found was written by that woman... How can a Ran woman understand the culture of our Han nationality? … But after thinking about it, it's not impossible, when Xu Shi met her, it was in the thirties during the Red Army, and in that engineering diary, it was in the late forties of the Anti-Japanese War... For such a long time, if Master Xu taught carefully, that woman would have learned to read and write with her heart, plus a little better qualifications, she would have been able to learn to read and write, you know, our 'great' revolutionary writer Comrade Gao Yubao went to school for two days, and he didn't know eight out of ten words, everyone could write novels, and create a classic character image of 'Zhou Papi'...

"Xiao Leng."

"Huh?" I came back to my senses and looked at Ling Jitian.

"You didn't come at the right time."

"How?"

"Hehe..."Ling Jitian laughed at me, "If you had come to this place decades earlier and before that Xu cadre, you might not have been killed, and maybe you could bring a daughter-in-law of the Ran clan back." ”

"Oh." I nodded my head first, then reacted, and both of them stared, "Huh? ”

"But all outsiders with unknown identities will be killed, which is the rule they set up here after that Xu cadre."

"Oh...," I nodded, "Uncle Ling said that, and I understood, but I don't want any Ran daughter-in-law!" ”

"Hehe..."

Ling Jitian was amused by me, laughing and laughing, I suddenly realized one more thing... Yuxin! If Yuxin is Wan Jinshan's daughter, then isn't she the granddaughter of Xu Shi Xu Xiangqian? Have the blood of the Xu family? …

"Xiao Leng, what's wrong with you, is it because you heard me talk about 'wife', so you thought of a beautiful girl who was good with you?"

"What's the matter, hehe..."

My face was hot, and although it wasn't because of this, I did think of Yuxin. If I can get out of this hellish place, then I will definitely take Ling Jitian and go with me, when the time comes, when Ling Jitian sees Yu Xin carved out of the same mold as Ling Xiao, how will he react? As for Yu Xin, for some reason, she has no memory of 'Ling Xiao' at all, what will happen to her when she sees such an ugly stranger standing in front of her? …

"Uncle Ling, now, I have one last question."

"You say."

"I want to know how you got here, and—" I looked at him.

"And why did I become like this, right?"

"That's right, please let Uncle Ling tell me."
