Chapter 34 Suicide Note

"That's right" Teng Yi nodded and said, "Because from the beginning, Ashuna was not sure if you would be able to complete this task, and it turned out that Ashuna's worries were justified. ”

As soon as I heard this, I couldn't help but feel a little angry in my heart, and said, "Do you think I am willing to complete some mysterious mission? I was completely driven ducks to the shelves, and I was forced to come here, if it weren't for all kinds of changes, I would have returned to my hometown in the northeast. ”

"Whether you are active or passive, since you have accepted the task, you should work hard to complete it." Teng Yi said almost in a commanding tone.

I felt unhappy and said, "Finish it? I don't even know what the fuck is, how do I get it done? ”

"The task is in Azina's suicide note, and it is now in Long Bujin's hands, you can ask her."

"Ask her?" I said, "I can't even communicate with her how I ask." ”

Teng Yi said, "Although Long Bujin can't speak Chinese, she can tell you in other ways, or she can take you to the place where all the secrets are hidden. Speaking of this, Teng Yi paused, glanced at Ryazan, and then continued: "I don't know who this person is, but if you have his help, I think you should be able to complete that task." ”

I glanced at Ryazan and saw that he was looking at me proudly, as if to say, "Well, I'm more important than you."

Teng Yi said again: "The reason why I help you secretly is because I can't expose myself, if I meet with you, then I will easily fall into the trap of that group of people, and I will not be able to keep a clear head." ”

"What do you mean by that?" I asked.

Teng Yi looked disappointed and said to me: "Your name is Fan Peixi, let me give you a piece of advice, from the day you came to Yunnan, everything that happened around you was not a coincidence but an inevitability. So, instead of wasting time here now, it is better to go to Long Bujin to find the information and complete the task given to you by Ashuna as soon as possible. ”

I listened to his words and felt that there was some truth, instead of pondering here now, it was better to simply go to Bu Jin and ask for the suicide note. But no matter what, this Teng Yi, I definitely can't let him go easily.

So, accompanied by Ryazan, we returned to the old apartment on the third floor.

Pushing the door into the house, Liu Zhen was still lying on the bed and did not wake up, while Bu Jin was looking at a dark brown coarse cloth in front of the table by the dim light. She looked up and saw Teng Yi coming in with us, a little surprised in her eyes, but she quickly returned to normal.

I walked up to her to see if the dark brown coarse cloth was Azina's suicide note, but Bu Jin was extremely vigilant and put it away and held it in the palm of his hand.

"Is that Arjuna's suicide note?" I asked.

Bu Jin didn't speak, just sat there, continuing to clutch the coarse cloth the size of a handkerchief tightly in his hand, not intending to share the information with us at all.

I turned my head to look at Teng Yi and said, "Well, you can see it too, with her attitude, how can I know what task Ashuna has left me." ”

Teng Yi said: "Actually, it's useless for you to read it, I don't even recognize the text on it." ”

"It's one thing to recognize it or not, but she's got to let me see it first." I complained.

Hearing what I said, Teng Yi whispered something to Bu Jin in Miao language, at first Bu Jin just shook his head vigorously, and after a lot of effort, Bu Jin reluctantly agreed to take out Azina's suicide note, but the premise was that the suicide note must be in her hands for us to see.

I don't know why Ajuna wrote her suicide note on a piece of coarse cloth, but the moment Long Bujin opened the suicide note, a sense of déjà vu emerged in my heart. The text on the coarse cloth is staggered and twisted, looking a little like cuneiform and some like tadpole.

I didn't really know the writing on the coarse cloth, but I had seen the same type of writing, the text on the jade plaque around Bu Jin's neck, or, more accurately, the inscription on the jade plaque of Wang Chengbao.

Duan Yuwen, who was standing next to me, also frowned after reading it, and said, "Why is this kind of text again?" In the past 30 years, I have also researched, but I have not been able to find out the meaning. ”

"This is normal," Ryazan said suddenly, "because this is the ancient Miao script." ”

"Gu Miaowen? Do you know? I asked.

Ryazan shook his head and said, "I'm sorry to disappoint you, I can't even recognize all the Chinese characters, how can I know Gu Miaowen." ”

"Then why do you conclude that this is Gu Miaowen?"

"I've seen it before."

"Miao inscription monument of Lei Gong Mountain." Duan Yuwen suddenly interrupted Ryazan's words, there is about the history and customs of ethnic minorities, after all, he is an expert, and said: "In the past, it was mentioned in the legends and ancient songs of the Miao people that the Miao people once had writing, but they did not leave any historical documents, only in the thirties of the last century, someone found some stone tablets engraved with unknown characters in Leigong Mountain, Guizhou, and after the academic community, it was believed that it was an ancient Miao tablet. However, because the stele is already fragmented, experts have not been able to reconstruct it into a logical system, and there is no reference to other texts, so no one has been able to decipher the text on it. The Miao script used by the Miao people today is actually a young script composed of some symbols on Miao costumes combined with Latin letters by the British missionary Bergley in 1905 because of the need for mission, which is completely different from the previous ancient Miao script. ”

Ryazan stood aside, pouting as he listened, and said, "An expert deserves to be an expert." I don't know if he really admires Duan Yuwen or is ridiculing him.

"However, I once saw the stone tablet of Lei Gongshan, the Miao script on it is strong and powerful, and some of the italic style is not like this kind of text, it is like painting."

"So what? Isn't writing Chinese characters in cursive the same as drawing, and you can't understand them? Ryazan pouted and said.

I don't want to listen to these academic arguments, and I just want to know what is written on it. Ashuna wrote her suicide note in this rare script, apparently because she didn't want others to know the contents of the Dao, and Bu Jin may be one of the few people who can interpret this kind of text.

I asked Bu Jin what it meant in his suicide note, and Bu Jin just said, "Dianchi." I don't know if she couldn't express herself flexibly in Chinese or just wanted to reveal it to us, so I asked Teng Yi to ask again in Hmong, but the results were the same.

I looked at Duan Yuwen and Ryazan with a look of help, and Ryazan shrugged his shoulders and said to me, "What else don't you understand, is that let's go to Dianchi!" ”

Duan Yuwen also nodded and said, "Teng Yi has already said just now, the real secret is not inside the ancient village, but outside the ancient village, then, we should follow Ashina's guidance." ”

I was right, but looking at Liu Zhen, who was lying on the bed with a bloodstained face and no sign of waking up, I felt that things were a little tricky for a while. Although Liu Zhen was not fatally injured, he was extremely frightened after all, and he also shed a lot of blood, so he couldn't let him toss with us anymore.

In the end, I decided to send Liu Zhen to a nearby hospital to recuperate, and then a few of us went to Dianchi Lake to find the secret that Ajuna valued quite a lot.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Ryazan changed into jeans and a black sweatshirt, and after a brief rest for a while, I drove Duan Yuwen's broken Santana to Kunming. At first, Teng Yi said that he would not come with us at all, saying that with Ryazan's help, he would not be needed here, and that he hoped to return to the village to prevent another group of people from harassing the villagers. However, I never believed in him, and insisted that he go with us, and that he must remain in my sight, otherwise he would most likely slip away without me noticing.

After we arrived in Kunming, we found a hospital for Liu Zhen, and by the time everything had been arranged, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. The five of us had a simple dinner at a restaurant in Kunming and decided to leave for Dianchi the next day.
