Chapter 36 The Clues That Connect Everything
When it came to the worst, my voice was crossed.
Peanut nodded slightly, and then put the picture in my hand. Although the photo is black and white, and it is a little mottled, I can still see that the little girl on it is very beautiful. Her facial features are surprisingly perfect, and it is not difficult to imagine what an outstanding beauty such a little girl will be when she grows up. It is completely impossible to connect such a little girl with the things that happened to our Yuan family with the naked eye, but in fact, the appearance of the little girl in this photo is a huge question in itself.
For Yuan Wuyang, the contents of the box should be very important, he didn't give it to his family, and he couldn't grab the peanuts, but after the worst, the box fell into the hands of this girl.
Daddy said that the dragon is a very scary person. When a person uses the name of a demon as a pronoun, I can imagine how dark that person's heart is. But on the contrary, the spirit is such a beautiful girl.
I don't know when the photo was taken, but it was after the incident with Unit 13371. Because Yuan Wuyang in the photo is too young.
The fat man was very concerned about the box containing the mysterious black mist, and then said: "According to what you just said, the contents of that box are very dangerous, why should Xiao Nizi in the photo take it away?" Isn't there any special purpose for those black fogs? ”
"It wasn't she who took it, but Yuan Wuyang gave it to her." Peanut said.
I turned to Peanut, "What does Yuan Wuyang like about this little girl?" She, who is she sacred? ”
Gradually, all our questions focused on the life story of the little girl in the photo. What Daddy said before, I have completely denied it, even if it really happened, the process will definitely not be what he said.
I don't know what the road is for. As soon as I finished speaking, Peanut looked at me with a strange expression. It turned out to be that kind of sparkling eyes, I went, when did Peanut look at someone like this, he seemed to have something to say to me.
"What's wrong?" I couldn't help but ask.
Peanut closed his eyes and took another deep breath. "Originally, I didn't expect to tell you this. However, since it has come to this point, there are some things that you should still know. ”
Peanut's words immediately made me nervous. The meaning is too obvious. Could it be that these things are also directly related to me? At this moment, I didn't dare to speak, and I even felt the urge to step forward and cover Peanut's mouth and ask him not to continue talking. However, I also know that there is no turning back now, even if it is something that I can't accept. You can only face it.
I tried to calm myself down, and I didn't know what my expression was right now. I only knew that my heart was beating twitchingly. Breathing uncontrollably short.
"Yuan Jie, take a good look at the little girl in the photo, don't you think she is a little familiar?" Peanut said.
"Familiar?" I picked it up again, looked at it carefully, looked at it desperately, but I still didn't think I had seen her anywhere.
No. No, the picture was taken more than twenty years ago, and if Peanut was a hint that I knew her, then when I met her. This little girl must already be a big girl, or even a woman in her thirties.
Around the age of 30, my imagination was not very good, but I still tried to paint a picture of what a little girl would look like when she grew up. Time passed little by little, and in my mind, the appearance of the little girl growing up gradually became clear in my mind. However, the more I imagined it, the more my hand shaking the photo, because I now felt more and more that Peanut was right, she, she was indeed very familiar.
A strange fear began to creep through me, as if some kind of self-preservation consciousness in my body had taken effect, and all of a sudden, that image in my mind disappeared completely.
Peanut stared at me tightly and said in a deep voice, "She is your mother." ”
One sentence, seven words, Peanut said lightly, but it was the thing I have always heard, and it shocked me the most. I then raised my eyes and stared at the peanut motionlessly.
"You, what did you say?" My whole body began to tremble, and I was soaked through all my clothes in an instant.
Peanut closed his eyes again, as if he had just done something he didn't want to do. Then he pointed to the two words on the ground and said to me again, "She is your mother." ”
In an instant, my whole body was completely paralyzed, and if it weren't for the fat man holding me from behind, I would have been lying on my back on the ground by now.
The little girl in my mother's photo, the one in Daddy's mouth who said he was going to come to him for revenge was actually 、、、 my mother. Suddenly, I felt a suffocation in my chest, and some warm liquid overflowed from the corners of my mouth.
"Damn, why are you bleeding?" The fat man hurriedly took something to wipe my blood.
Mentally and physically, I'm having a hard time right now, but I don't have the heart to care about it at all. "Peanuts, this, is this true?"
Peanut stopped answering me, turned his head, and slowly lit a cigarette.
I tensed the muscles on my face, restrained my current emotions, and asked again in a low voice, "Is this what Daddy has been hiding from me?" ”
Peanut doesn't even look at me anymore. I understand the meaning of peanuts, I already know the truth, whether I can bear it or not, whether I believe it or not, it depends on myself. At this moment, I realized how terrible these so-called truths were for me.
When I was very young, my father told me that my mother was dead. The only image I have of my mother is the one that led me down the street. But behind that vague scene, there are so many secrets. That southern song, the identity of the dragon, has appeared in the photo of Yuan Wuyang and his grandfather more than 20 years ago, the Yue Opera team marked by the map of the Phantom Snow Forbidden City, in the small restaurant before departure, Daddy explained in despair I suddenly found that the clue that connected all this was actually my mother.
What is the way things are here?
What I can't accept the most is that when Daddy mentions the dragon, what he shows is a complete kind of fear. That. That's his wife, my real mother, why would it be like a feud? Why are you hiding it from me like this? I
"Eh, eh." The fat man screamed as a mouthful of blood had spurted out of my mouth. "Okay, okay, what about your grandma? Speaking of which, it's all about your Yuan family, I think things are good, and I can just take the time to open a family to straighten things out, especially the first time I saw people thinking about things and thinking of spurting blood. ”
I wasn't in the mood to laugh with the fat man, and I collapsed there, suddenly not wanting to think about anything anymore. Scared. I couldn't stand it, but the thoughts in my head didn't stop at all. It occurred to me that in this case, my mother would not have died.
"Peanut, my mom is still alive. Is that right? "Like all sons in the world, I looked at Peanuts with anticipation.
This time. Peanut nodded. But his expression was even colder. He turned his head to look at me and said, "I know the Tao now, and if you go any further, you will definitely die, because the truth you want is even more amazing than what you know now Yuan Jie." If you can listen to me when you are in the tomb of King Yoro, don't open the 'blood metasequoia' and don't ask how good these reasons are. If you continue like this, even if you can get out of the Illusory Snow Forbidden City alive, in the end, you will only be the second Yuan Wuyang, and you"
Suddenly, I felt like Peanut was about to say something, but he gritted his teeth all of a sudden.
When I came back to my senses, I realized that Peanut's expression was still very cold when he first said these words, but later, he was scolding me like a very good friend. This feeling calmed me down a little, and even if it was only for a brief moment, I also felt that Peanut had taken me as a friend.
After being silent for a while, the fat man suddenly said, "I think we should find a way to get out of this hellish place now." ”
Peanut and I didn't expect that the fat man would say such a discouraged thing. The thief is not empty, let alone the fat man. But when I looked at the blood stains on my body, I also understood that the fat man was worried that I wouldn't be able to hold on.
I cheered up, sat up straight, and smiled at the fat man and said: "It's still early, let's not get out of the little artifact in the Phantom Snow Forbidden City this time, how can you brag with those little brothers in the future, peanuts, don't worry, I've already gotten out of the way, and now even my father doesn't want to stop me from knowing these things." You can tell me whatever you want, as long as you can know those things, I will listen to you for everything, and no one will try to stop me. ”
"If you want to die, who can stop you." Peanut said.
Hey, the fat man and I laughed at the time, and we couldn't think of Peanut being able to say these online words. The fat man laughed and snorted, and when we turned our heads, we realized that the pot of noodles had already been cooked into a batter for him.
"Damn, you things caused Lao Tzu to make such a serious mistake, okay, don't say anything, Lao Tzu punished himself three bowls." No one can compare to the fat man in the atmosphere, and as soon as he is noisy, we will eat the pot of batter.
Even though I still have those things in my mind, I don't have a clue anymore as I used to. I believe that as long as Peanut tells me everything, Daddy will no longer be able to hide those processes from me. It's just that I'm still wondering, why can't Peanut tell me directly like he did just now? What is the last thing Daddy wants me to know? My feeling is that it was directly related to my mother.
At this time, the fat man said while smoking: "While we are resting now, there is something we should also take out and talk about." ”
We all look fat. He took a puff of cigarette, pointed to the convoy behind him, and then said, "Little brother, are you sure these things are the things of Unit 13371 back then?" ”
Peanut didn't answer, and looked at the fat man with a smile, that is, told the fat man, you don't have to be suspicious.
The fat man continued: "But you said very clearly, at that time, Unit 13371 was only camped in a mountain col near West Kunlun, and did not go up the mountain, and it was impossible for these vehicles to come to Qiaogoli Peak at that time, so why would the entire convoy appear here?" ”
I was just about to speak, but the fat man then raised his hand and nervously asked himself: "I'll say it first, it's still the point just now, I think these things are time and space transfers, and these cars must have appeared after the stone figures around them fell, otherwise what we see would not be like this." ”
There is some truth in what the fat man said. I don't know if Lu Dao has experienced too many things, and I don't resist things like time and space transfer very much.
I nodded, "I think what Yan Ran said makes sense, could it be that the black fog in that box is an entrance to spacetime, just like the black hole we passed through, and it will reach our current location at the end." ”
Peanut shook his head, "Don't you think it's redundant to discuss these cars now?" ”
"And what do you think of?" I asked.
"The crux of the matter is, Yuan Wuyang, Yuan Tong, Liu Jinsun. And I was at that time, why would it appear in front of our eyes, and those gunshots, if according to your thoughts, the convoy came here through time and space transfer, then. Where were those people and vicious dogs at that time? ”
After Peanut finished speaking, the fat man and I both turned our heads and looked around. Behind us were strange and jagged black shadows. There was nothing, but I always felt like something was staring at us.
Peanut continued, "The Forbidden City is a place that ordinary people can't understand, and what we really have to think about is where the next danger will be. ”
I understand what Peanut meant, and right now, we don't even know how we got in. Therefore, it is better to think than to be on guard. But there is one thing that we can't avoid now, the fat man looked at me several times, and finally. I asked.
"Well, then, Peanut, I want to ask you, how old are you now?" This question actually came when I saw my grandfather and them, but I never had a chance to say it. The fat man and I could have put other things aside for a while, but the peanuts in front of us really surprised us too much.
Hearing this, Peanut smiled at us, "Don't worry about this, soon, it will be over." ”
It seems that Peanut refuses to tell us anything about himself as before, but I'm a little afraid of him saying such things now. "It's going to be over soon?" Is he implying that he has not been in this world for long?
After a few words, the fat man and I began to get sleepy. Peanuts let us rest at ease, and he came to guard. I've had many experiences, so I didn't get along with the fat man, and fell asleep on the floor.
I don't know how long it took for me to wake up with a cool breeze. When I got up, there was no change in my surroundings, and the fat man was still next to me, snoring loudly. When I turned around, I realized that the peanuts were gone.
"Peanuts." I called out, but no one answered. So I grabbed my flashlight and started looking among the old vehicles.
I don't know where the wind came from, although it was not big, it was so cold that people shivered. I curled up and walked through the mottled tin sheets. The tarpaulin on the truck rattled, and as soon as the flashlight shone on, some very strange shadows appeared on the ground. I knew that I was scaring myself, but fear is an inescapable human emotion, and I can only try not to forget to see in those dark shadows.
"Peanuts, peanuts" shouted at me the quieter the voice, there are not many cars in front, although I can't hear Peanut's response, but I still sent a sigh of relief, after all, there is no movement when I come over, special mother, turn around Lao Tzu and run away, it is estimated that the peanut boy is going to squat somewhere.
Just as I was thinking, out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a shadow that was not quite right on the cargo box of the truck next to me, that, it seemed to be a person.
My heart was pounding, and I stopped in my tracks. For a while, I didn't know if I was wrong or something, but now I didn't dare to turn my neck around.
The cool breeze blew gently across my face, as if someone was blowing in my ear. I suddenly remembered Peanut's previous concern: the cars are all here, so where are the people of Unit 13371?
The more I thought about it, the more numb I became. Even I wanted to close my eyes and turn my head and run back. But after the last moment, I couldn't help but turn my head away.
The tarpaulin on the crate had rotted into strips of cloth, fluttering like tentacles of something. In the shadows, I saw a man crouching on the edge of the container, staring at me with a pale face and a cold gaze.
Seeing that it was a person, I was so frightened that I stepped back and crashed into the jeep behind me.
The man put his hands on the edge of the box and slowly poked his head out. At this moment, I saw that person's face clearly, and my brows furrowed, and I was angry: "Peanut, damn, why are you pretending to be a ghost to scare me?" ”
I let out a sigh of relief, and said to myself, this shit must be squatting in someone's truck. As soon as he came back to his senses, I suddenly realized that something was wrong.
I jerked my head up and looked in the direction of the peanut, and immediately I didn't dare to say anything more.
The face is the face of a peanut, there can be no mistake, and the eyes are as sharp as peanuts. However, the peanut in front of him had very light hair, and the clothes on his body turned out to be a green military uniform. I immediately remembered, isn't this the "peanut" we have seen carrying a box with my grandfather before?
My mind was a mess, but more of it was fear.
According to Peanut, that was him thirty years ago, and aren't they gone? Why didn't I continue to think about it now, and the "peanut" in front of me slowly crawled out of the container.
Actually, "Peanut" flipped off the truck in a very light way, but this man's ability was so good, the whole movement was extremely slow and light, like climbing, and there was no sound when he landed.
Standing in front of him, I can still feel the breath that peanuts usually bring me, but this person gives me a more terrible pressure. He slowly walked up to me, looking up and down with that cold gaze.
"Who are you?" The peanut in front of me asked me.
"I, I am, it's Yuan Jie." In front of his gaze, I felt completely incapacitated.
Suddenly, I saw that the peanut's eyes widened almost a third, and the muscles in his face twitched, and he looked at me with a look of anger at first.
"You, damn it!" (To be continued......)
