CHAPTER XXXI

This ancient city is much bigger than I imagined, in fact, it is more well-preserved than I thought. I thought that after more than 2,000 years, what awaited us would be a broken wall, maybe not even a wall, but I didn't expect that in this inaccessible area, there would still be a part of the whole building.

This building is certainly small for the area of the entire ancient city, but for us more than 2,000 years later, it is already shocking that we can preserve this kind of chengdΓΉ.

"Booming ......"

I don't know what animals were alarmed by my arrival, and some shadows passed through the ancient city densely wrapped in plants, presumably animals living inside. This ancient city is probably the best natural cave for animals, and I don't know what is inside.

I originally wanted to investigate by myself, wanting to take the lead, but now I look at the surrounding situation, and I estimate that this ancient city will not be too peaceful, but I am afraid that there will be some big snakes and cunning foxes and the like, and it is too dangerous to enter alone, so I still have to find all the manpower and equipment.

In desperation, I got out of the bushes and returned to the same place for more than an hour. By this time, everyone had already discovered that I was missing, and they were looking for traces of me. The two groups of people can meet, I described the situation of the ancient city, Liu team was overjoyed, said: "It seems that this trip will not come in vain," although she was excited, but still had a plan, looked at the sky, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and then entered the ancient city, it was inevitable that it would be too hasty, and everyone moved the camp to a place closer to the ancient city, so as to facilitate the start of construction in the future.

After some transfer and tossing, it was more than seven o'clock in the evening in the blink of an eye. After a tiring day, they sat by the fire to eat and drink, and when the lazy man had finished eating, he went back to sleep in the tent, and because he was too lazy, when the sadistic addiction did not occur, his sense of preservation was very low.

The rest of the people also entered the tent one after another, and after a while, only me, Team Liu, Wen Min, and Hari Chagai were left by the fire. Hari Chagai couldn't sleep, while Wen Min and Team Liu looked stern, obviously having something to say to me.

The first to speak was Team Liu, and she said: "I'm very happy that the ancient city has been found, but now there are some things that we have to deal with clearly." She didn't wait for me to reply, and continued: "Before, you said that you wanted to take a few treasures and leave, but now I have observed all the way, and several of them are worth a lot of money, so I shouldn't look down on those bottles and cans." Let's open the skylight and say something, what are you here for? ”

It seems that although Wen Min has a temper with me, his tone is still quite tight, and Team Liu should not know our true purpose.

Team Liu's eyes roamed over me and Hari Chagai, and Hari Chagai hurriedly stopped when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Captain Liu, this has nothing to do with me, I and the pervert with the knife are just taking money to do things, responsible for protecting the safety of Brother Chen, I am at his disposal, as for what the purpose, I don't know, don't ask me." After saying that, he walked away with his hands in his trouser pockets.

I scolded in my heart, saying that Zhen Rui came to you for me to dispatch and help me, but why didn't I feel like the boss at all? Is this appearance fee too unjust? I muttered a few words in my heart, and quickly organized the language in my head.

Before Tianyan is found, we can't turn our faces with Team Liu, after all, she understands the things of the ancient Shu Kingdom better than us, and there are still many things that depend on her next.

After a pause, I said, "Team Liu, I know that these two friends who suddenly joined may have caused you to misunderstand. You know, I'm a weapons consultant, our line of work, is wandering on the underworld, three religions and nine streams are everything, I don't hide the origin of these two, it's really not right, but there is no malice, it's just that my friend found out that this place is not safe, and paid me two helpers to hire for money. If you don't feel at ease, I can't help it. ”

Team Liu obviously didn't believe it, she pursed the corners of her lips, glanced at Wen Min, and said, "Minmin, I hope the person you introduced is reliable." ”

Wen Min frowned, glanced at me, there was no anger in his eyes, he estimated that he had calmed down a lot, and said: "You can rest assured, these people are trustworthy, not to mention, they have already helped us a lot, haven't they?" ”

Probably thinking of the ability of lazy goods, Team Liu's expression eased a little, nodded, and didn't ask any more. For a while, only Wen Min and I were left by the campfire. I was on the first shift, and out of consideration for taking care of the female comrades, Wen Min and Team Liu were on the last shift. I motioned for her to go to sleep, she shook her head, smiled wryly, and said, "Chen Hang, I didn't expect that we would come this far." When I first met you, you weren't that kind of person, but now, I'm really disappointed. ”

I know it. She was referring to the previous incident about the madman, and although it turned out that the lazy man was not wrong to do that, at the time we all treated the madman as if he were a living person, which in a completely different sense. In fact, even I have some doubts that I am still not me......

Did the curse change me, or did the experiences of the past few years change me? Or is it the curse that has shaped my fate that has caused me to have some experience for these two years?

I said, "So what do you think now?" Or, what are you going to do? ”

Wen Min took a deep breath and said firmly: "Now, you are doubting me, and you have become too cruel. Chen Hang, perhaps, the future we looked forward to before will not be there. ”

"Yes, good and evil are not separated, you are a policeman who presides over justice, and I am a ruthless tomb robber." When I said this, I felt like a stone was stuffed in my heart, and my whole heart sank straight down.

She smiled and said, "I know that you have always been forced to embark on this path, so I will accompany you." But now, this path has been too long, and you have become too strange. When I first met you, we were just strangers, and you and Xiaodou risked their lives to save me, and no matter how dangerous the moment, you never gave up on me...... But now, Iβ€”I really can't accept you like this. Shodou told me about the curse, but I was skeptical, but now I believe it...... In just four years, it wiped out the people I once loved. ”

Barely giving me a chance to speak, she continued: "I know that you are doubting me now, and with your current suspicious mentality, no matter how I explain it, you will not believe it, so I am not going to explain. After a pause, she said something that I didn't expect, and she said, "So, I'm not going to give up looking for a way to lift the curse, as you said before, if it's a big scam, then I'm going to take it for what it really is." ”

I was taken aback, and a buzz came out of my head, to be honest, I thought she was going to have a showdown with me or a slash, but I didn't expect her to say this, and when I reacted, I realized that I had already asked, "Why?" ”

Wen Min said: "Didn't you say that good and evil are not mutually exclusive? The curse will one day create a super criminal, and if I destroy it, I am destroying it, so this is a contest between good and evil. I'm going to kill you and get the person I love back. ”

Through the blazing bonfire, the two of us looked at each other for a long time, as if we had a soul in our hearts, and we naturally understood.

Immediately after that, she went into the tent and went to sleep, and I continued the vigil. At this moment, my heart is intertwined with two strange feelings, yes, it can only be described as weird. On the one hand, Wen Min's words touched me a lot, she is a more rigorous person, she will not be as emotionally exposed as Xiao Jing, and she is always like glue, but what she said just now clearly expressed a meaning: No matter what you become, I will not give up.

If I were no longer me, if all the things I was attracted to would one day become mediocre or even disappear, who would be around me?

It's a feeling that's hard to describe in words, but there's another very clear consciousness beyond that. This consciousness is very rational in its analysis: why is she telling me this? Did my suspicions make her wary? Are these words lies? Was she going to have lies to dispel my vigilance?

Just as Wen Min expected, even if it came to this point, the suspicious thinking in my heart lingered.

I know I'm a cautious person, but when I think back a few years ago, it dawns on me that I wouldn't have thought so much if I had been a few years ago. Proper vigilance and suspicion are the most basic means of human defense, and it can make people safer. But excessive suspicion and vigilance can have dire consequences. You'll be in a constant state of doubt, and by the end of the day, you'll be confused about who you can trust and who isn't.

The most familiar example is Cao Cao, Cao Cao is suspicious by nature, has a head wind disease, the divine doctor Hua Tuo wants to open his head for treatment, although Cao Cao has heard of Hua Tuo's strange methods of curing diseases, but he still because of suspicion Hua Tuo punished him, and finally buried his own life.

At the rate I am now, I can't imagine what I will become in the future. When a person doubts and denies all the qiΔ“ around him, he will inevitably act and cause irreparable damage.

I've been waiting for the curse to come since I gave up looking for that scam, but now I know that it has always been there, quietly changing my heart. At this moment, I desperately wanted to suppress that doubtful thought, but just like obsessive-compulsive disorder, that thought became clearer and clearer, and I even wondered if I had a split personality.

Why do two completely different thoughts exist in a person's brain at the same time? My heart was almost sour because of Wen Min's words, but why was the string of doubt in my mind getting tighter and tighter?
