I couldn't help blinking violently, even wondering if it was my hallucination, but when I opened my eyes, Lao Hu's face was still covered with purple-red patches, like a corpse about to decompose.

What's going on?

I suddenly remembered the missing Zhao Wang.

I thought I was dazzled, but I didn't expect that now even Lao Hu has grown corpse spots, what is going on? My cranial nerve throbbed, and in an instant, my body reacted instinctively, and immediately took a step back away from Lao Hu, the dagger in my hand crossed my chest, and assumed a defensive posture.

The fat man's reaction was bigger than mine, and the whole person almost jumped up, and exclaimed: "Old Hu, when did you become a fucking zongzi!" ”

Lao Hu didn't finish speaking, he sat down on the first floor, and didn't even raise his head.

I looked at the fat man and saw that his face was almost distorted, obviously, the brother of many years had suddenly become a person who was not a ghost or a ghost, and this stimulation was too great for him.

The two of us locked our eyes on Lao Hu, afraid that he would be like a dumpling in the next moment, but Lao Hu was silent for a long time, and his face was dark gray. After a while, the fat man's mood stabilized, he stared at Lao Hu, his face was distorted, and he said word by word: "Brother, tell me honestly, are you a human or a zongzi?" ”

Lao Hu finally moved, raised his head, his face was covered with corpse spots, he could barely see his expression, he looked at the fat man, and suddenly said something very strange, he said: "Whether I am human or not, don't you know?" ”

My heart jumped.

What do you mean?

Almost immediately, I looked at the fat man, who immediately scolded, "I know? I know what a bird's egg! The surname is Hu, what the hell is going on, you fucking tell me clearly! It's a human being or a ghost! ”

The old beard pulled the corners of his mouth with a smile, revealing a very stiff smile, his dark eyes stared at the fat man, as if he was slowly moving to me, and then he moved back and forth slowly, that kind of gaze made me feel chills, because his expression was as if he was looking at two dead people!

I was a little unsteady, and the palms of my hands holding the dagger were sweating, and then, I relieved my breath and said in a deep voice: "Brother Hu...... I've always looked up to you. What the hell is going on, you give us an explanation. ”

Lao Hu's gaze stopped, the corners of his mouth twitched strangely, and said, "Say? Why don't you ask the brother next to you? My gaze involuntarily turned to the fat man again.

What does Lao Hu's words mean? Why does he keep bringing the topic to fat people?

My heart throbbed.

Lao Hu was introduced by the fat man, because of this, so I never doubted it, he said that he wanted to find the fairy cave, to find the elixir, I packed up the equipment without saying a word, and he was the only one to look forward to along the way, but what is the situation now?

Could it be that the fat man is hiding something from me?

I looked at the fat man, and this conjecture kept popping up in my heart, and for some reason, I felt betrayed.

The fat man was startled, looked at me, immediately raised his hands, put on a gesture of surrender, and said, "Wait, innocent comrade, what kind of eyes do you have?" I swear, I don't hide anything from you. "I immediately remembered the time in Beijing, when the fat man fought with me, and I immediately relented, and I almost wanted to slap myself.

Wu Xie, Wu Xie, did your fucking conscience be eaten by a dog, the brother in front of you, how many times have you worked for you, what can you get?

The more I thought about it, the more remorseful I became, and put away my doubts, and when the fat man saw this, he kicked me directly and said, "White-eyed wolf, the fat man has hurt you for nothing all these years." I stumbled and didn't talk to him.

At this time, Lao Hu suddenly laughed strangely and said, "Fatty, I have known you for more than ten years, I know very well what kind of person you are." The fat man was stunned for a moment, suddenly glanced at me, and then looked at Lao Hu, the flesh on his face suddenly trembled, and said, "Lao Hu, don't talk nonsense." ”

Lao Hu snorted coldly and said, "Nonsense? Immediately after, he stood up slowly and suddenly said to me, "Wu Xie, how long have you known the fat man?" I looked at the fat man's gloomy face, and my heart suddenly chuckled, and a sense of foreboding arose, and I vaguely felt that what I would hear next was definitely not good news.

Thinking of the experience of birth and death over the years, my curiosity suddenly sank to the bottom, indeed, I am very curious about the fat man's past, sometimes when I think about it, I don't even know his real name, I will have a very trance feeling, and even think, do I really know this person, does he really regard himself as a brother, after all, how many people will not even know the name of a brother?

But now, all of a sudden, I don't want to know.

Everyone has some unbearable past, a person's past is very important, but at some point, it is not important, I only look at the present, at least in the five years we have known, he is a fat man, and has not done a single thing that is not good for me.

My heart settled, and I said in a deep voice, "It's been five years." ”

The corners of Lao Hu's mouth moved, and he said, "Five years...... I've known him for sixteen years, since he was in his early twenties, and I'll tell you, this brother in front of you, he used to ......."

"Enough!" The fat man suddenly shouted, and then rushed over, throwing Lao Hu to the ground at once, and was about to hit down with his fist.

It happened so quickly that I almost froze. Immediately after, I hurriedly dragged the fat man and said, "Wait, I have something to say!" ”

The fat man pushed me away, his strength was amazing, and he yelled: "The fat man is going to beat him today, he can't say a word!" Lao Hu hissed in his mouth, and immediately scuffled with the fat man, trying to suppress the person, at this moment, of course I know who to help, but thinking of Lao Hu's previous words, and the fat man's sudden abnormal reaction, I actually felt an extremely uncomfortable feeling in my heart.

This dead fat man has never been afraid of others exposing his shortcomings, the more you expose it, the more he can be poor with you.

But now, his reaction is so abnormal, there is a feeling of being stepped on by the tail, and I even have a delusion, as if Lao Hu really said something, the fat man would probably kill him.

Aren't they on good terms? Why is this happening?

At this time, the fat man suddenly punched Lao Hu on the cheek, and then punched the flesh, Lao Hu's nosebleed was beaten out by him, I felt that something was wrong, and quickly pulled the fat man and said: "Stop, fat man, don't do anything that you regret." ”

The fat man's eyes were bloodshot, he looked at me, and said, "The fat man never does anything that he regrets!" ”

Taking advantage of my efforts to pull the fat man, Lao Hu suddenly slipped out from under the fat man, and then held the dagger and kept a distance from us. The fat man wanted to rush up, but I stopped him, and he immediately became angry at me and said, "Wu Xie! Do you fucking recognize the situation, who is your brother! ”

I hurriedly took a stand and said, "Of course it's you old fat man." Then, I made up my mind, looked at Lao Hu, and said, "Brother Hu, don't mention the past, I don't want to hear it, let's talk about what happened to you now?" How are you now...... Is it a human or a ghost? ”

The fat man immediately quieted down, and his stiff muscles softened all at once.

The flashlight was placed on the corpse table, and the light was obscure, as if it would go out at any moment.

Lao Hu's figure was hidden at the end of the light, only a vague figure could be seen, at this moment, I couldn't see his expression clearly, I only felt that his voice was very resentful: "What's wrong?" It's not because you're ...... You don't want to hear it? Then I'm going to tell you more...... This surnamed Wang was also a good brother to me back then, and the good Lao Tzu even gave him a pair of pants, but do you know what he has done? ”

The fat man's face turned pale all of a sudden, and then his face was expressionless, and he didn't seem to have any intention of stopping Lao Hu anymore.

I really didn't want to hear it, but when the old nonsense continued, I couldn't control my ears, let alone the doubts that came out of my heart.

Grandpa once said that what is more terrible than ghosts and gods is the human heart, ghosts and gods cannot change, but the human heart is difficult to grasp, and even I can't predict what my heart is like.

Immediately afterwards, Lao Hu laughed strangely, and while hooking a strange smile, he said: "Your brother, there was a nickname in the army back then, called 'Smiling Buddha', the place where we stayed was a relatively special place, in short, our task is to deal with some unnecessary things and erase some people who don't need to exist. Of course, we didn't do it voluntarily, we originally wanted to serve the people, but we were later organized into a secret squad, and those who could survive in this squad, were not good. In 1992, we received a secret mission, and it was said that a group of foreigners were going to carry out a fighting operation in Lingnan, and the organization sent us to wipe out those people in the ancient tomb...... Later, we did kill those people, but the design of the tomb is very interesting, it is a tomb that can only enter but not exit, and the last mechanism can only allow two people to go out...... So, we teamed up to kill the other teammates, and finally I got out with the fat man, and from then on, we became brothers. ”

I was silent, and the fat man didn't say a word, as if he was recalling something.

Then I said, "It's not surprising that ants are still stealing their lives, and if it were me, I would do the same." "Some people can have blood on their hands for the sake of ethereal immortality, and even carefully manage it for hundreds of years, and some people want to survive...... Killing a teammate who abandoned him, this thing...... Heh, isn't it fresh?

I've seen too much, and I'm even a little numb, all these years of fighting, except for the fat man and the stuffy oil bottle, I don't even know who else to trust, such a thing, back then in the Lu Palace, even I did it myself.

I patted the fat man on the shoulder and said lightly: "What kind of mechanism is that, there are only two people who can live?" ”

The fat man thought for a moment and said, "The mechanism triggered by weight will collapse once the weight is exceeded." I glanced at the fat man, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and couldn't help but say: "How can you have the weight of two people at your size, so how did you and Lao Hu get out?" ”
