Chapter 31: Tasks
Going to Dianchi Lake? Why do you want to go to Dianchi Lake?
Although I am not as knowledgeable as my father, I have been exposed to it since I was a child, and I also have a certain understanding of some historical knowledge. Could it be that the Miao people in the Miao ancient village and the villagers in that mysterious village are really the descendants of the mysterious ancient Dian Kingdom?
I bowed my head and fell into deep thought. I thought that after finding Duan Yuwen, I would be able to easily get the truth of everything, but now I find myself more and more confused. There are so many mysteries that I can't figure out after careful consideration, and although I still don't know much about many things, I have a foresight of what I should do as a successor - to solve all these mysteries.
After listening to Duan Yuwen's narrative, I bowed my head and was silent, and some of the things I had experienced before began to flash in my mind.
I thought about it, and a flash of lightning suddenly flashed through my mind, and I hurriedly asked, "Uncle Duan, did that Miao girl die in a hotel in Kunming later?" ”
Duan Yuwen looked very surprised when he heard this, he nodded and asked, "How do you know the Dao?" ”
I really didn't bother to explain the specific details to Duan Yuwen, but continued to ask: "Did that Miao girl die in the bathtub?" And the death is very ugly, and the body is almost eaten by bugs? ”
Duan Yuwen nodded and said: "At that time, this matter was very popular in Kunming, and it was almost in the newspaper, but the owner of the hotel also had some connections, and he was afraid that it would affect his business, so he insisted on suppressing this matter." ”
After hearing this, I immediately gasped, and said no, it was really such a coincidence, the first night I stayed in Kunming turned out to be the room where my brother used to live, and the Miao girl led by my brother died mysteriously.
Could it be that this is the so-called fate, and all this is the arrangement of fate?
No! I almost immediately dismissed my speculation, there are not so many coincidences in this world. In real life, many seemingly coincidental things actually show signs before they happen, but it is easy for us as parties to ignore these omens.
Although Kunming is not a megacity, it is the capital of Yunnan Province anyway, and there are many hotels here. As a person who came out of Yunnan, I didn't know which hotel was better, so I made a choice based on my own intuition, and I happened to choose the hotel where my brother stayed three months ago, and I chose the room where my brother lived more coincidentally, the probability of this kind of thing happening is too small to be negligible.
When I think of this, I already feel a chill rise in my heart, could it be that my intuition has ever been disturbed?
I am reminded of a foreign movie "Shocking Demon Thieves" that was broadcast some time ago, which once showed how others consciously interfere with a person's normal choices.
For example, if you want to go to the casino alone, then you can arrange for a lot of passers-by to pretend to walk by him casually, and when they walk by, they are either talking about the casino, or playing poker or casino chips, then that person's subconscious mind will be unconsciously disturbed by these stimuli, and even if he will not go to the casino, he may watch some gambling movies in the next few days.
In the same way, if there have been passers-by casually chanting the name of a hotel around me since Duan Yuwen sent me to Kunming, although I didn't care at the time, it is very likely that my subconscious has received and stored this kind of information, and directly influenced my subsequent choices.
Such speculation may sound mysterious, but it is theoretically valid, and it would have been easy for me to stay in my brother's room three months ago as soon as I walked into the hotel.
If all this is really happening, then why did the unknown person go out of his way to let me live in that room, so that I could know that a Miao girl had died in the bathtub and wanted to tell me that my situation was dangerous? So, is this person friend or foe?
I tried to recall the name of the hotel, but it turned out to be in vain, because I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, and if I were to go back to Kunming now, I could easily find the hotel, but not by the name of the hotel, but by its location, and it was easy to overlook some extremely important details.
I remembered what the young waiter at the hotel had told me, so I asked, "However, I heard that after the Miao girl died, the man who accompanied the Miao girl fled and disappeared, and I didn't say that he was dead." "I'm almost certain that the man the waiter is talking about is my brother.
Duan Yuwen replied: "You are right, your brother did not die at that time, he was kidnapped. ”
"Another group?" I asked.
"It should be," Duan Yuwen's expression seemed to be very painful, and he said, "In the first few days, I was also very anxious, and kept trying to find your brother's whereabouts, but to no avail, and in desperation, I had no choice but to ask Ashina." Perrin's death, that's what she told me. ”
"How did she know that my brother was dead?" I asked, because I had the impression that Ajuna was living a completely isolated life, how could she know about the outside world?
"Divination." Duan Yuwen said unusually calmly, but when I heard it, I almost fell, I couldn't believe my ears, and asked, "Uncle Duan, should you conclude that my brother is dead just by the words of that old lady Azina?" ”
"Of course not," Duan Yuwen explained, "At first, I didn't believe what she said, but I did find your brother's body under her guidance, it was in a rather remote suburb, and your brother's death was also very miserable, and ......."
"It's the same fate as that Miao girl, right?" I've already guessed something like this.
Duan Yuwen sighed and did not answer directly. Now I know everything, but to solve all the puzzles I have to go on a field trip and go on an expedition of my own.
I told Duan Yuwen that I already understood my task as a successor, but there was another question that I didn't understand very well, that is, what Duan Yuwen moved for, and who was Ryazan sitting next to me.
Duan Yuwen didn't hide it, and told me that he settled in that old apartment thirty years ago, and more than ten years later, the crazy woman appeared in the old apartment, at first, he didn't care, although he had also witnessed many abnormal behaviors of the crazy woman, but this is really not enough for people like him who have seen ghost babies break through the underground palace.
However, as time went on, there were fewer and fewer people in the old apartment, and the crazy woman seemed to be more and more evil, and he gradually felt that the crazy woman seemed to be coming for him, but after all, this was just a feeling, and there was no real evidence, so he spent it until two years ago before moving out of the old apartment.
As for who that Ryazan is, Duan Yuwen was a little hesitant and couldn't say why, just told me that Ryazan had always been his neighbor before, and he didn't know Ryazan's background, but Ryazan seemed to know a lot about him and my father's experiences back then, but one thing is for sure, that is, this Ryazan will not hurt me, and he will continue to help me complete the next tasks as a helper.
Hearing this, I turned my head to look at Ryazan, and found that he was still tilting his head to play with the bronze coin, and when he realized that I was looking at him, he smiled again and said to me, "Lord Peixi, take care of me in the future." ”
