Chapter 32: Hold Your Back Up
Maybe it's psychological, the night I slept in my grandfather's house can be said to be the most restful sleep I've ever slept in the past few days.
I slept until dawn, and I didn't even have a dream.
After a simple breakfast, we set off for the ancient tombs of Longxing Mountain.
The thought of having to walk a long distance with dozens of kilograms of equipment on my back for dozens of kilometers makes my feet tremble.
I walked for more than half an hour, and seeing that I was walking hard, my master actually took my bag away.
The forty-kilogram bag was carried on his back, as if he had carried a straw, and he walked with the wind.
"I'll go, Ye actually helped you with your backpack." Ma Liang touched the sweat on his face and looked at me enviously.
I also looked confused, in my opinion, if the master can follow us to the ancient tombs of Longxing Mountain, it is already the ancestral tomb to burn high incense, and he actually helped me with the backpack, which I never dared to think.
Ever since I saw my lord's cold appearance yesterday, I have already thought about it, and I will carry the two bags myself. I don't dare let him carry it, who knows if he will break my neck in an instant.
Who knew he would turn out to be the other way around.
This huge turn of events left me a little confused.
"Old Ma, how awesome do you say your master, he hasn't sweated a drop after walking for a long time." I looked at my lord's back with envy and muttered.
"How many miles have you walked now, can you be tired?" Ma Liang glanced at me with disdain, "There are many things that surprise you, but ah! ”
He paused when he said this, and then deliberately slowed down his pace and lowered his voice, "I think you seem to have a special feeling for you!" ”
Feeling special?
I was instantly creepy, I can't be bent, right?
Before I could finish my shock, I saw Ma Liang fly out next to me, and fell to the ground in embarrassment and didn't stand up for a long time.
I don't know when I appeared beside me, and looked at Ma Liang coldly.
"You really want to die?" Ye squinted, and his hand touched the bronze sword behind his back.
This move frightened Ma Liang so much that he didn't dare to breathe.
I don't think something is right, this is going to kill someone! Huanhuan, the big black dog beside him, also stuck out his tongue and stared at Ma Liang with a fierce light in his eyes.
I hurriedly blocked in front of Ma Liang, swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva before plucking up the courage to say: "Master, you also know this old horse, his mouth is cheap, he means that you take special care of me!" ”
After saying that, I quickly bowed to him, thanked him for helping me with my backpack, and let him forget it.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I bent over, my lord actually turned sideways and dodged, his brows furrowed slightly, "How can Qin Liangying's man bend over people?" Hold your back straight! The next time I show you who you're saluting, I'll break your backbone! ”
I was shocked, and I opened my mouth but couldn't say a word.
After speaking, he gave me a deep look, turned around and walked away quickly.
It wasn't until he turned and walked forward that I let out a long breath, shit, it was so fucking scary.
"Are you alright?" I quickly helped Ma Liang up, and gave him a strange look, "Your mouth is not changing, you want to die!" ”
Ma Liang's face turned pale and touched the cold sweat on his head, raised his hand and gave himself two slaps, "This broken mouth!" ”
On the next road, Ma Liang didn't dare to talk much, but turned his head to look at me from time to time, and then looked at Ye, his eyes were full of doubts.
Don't talk about him, I'm confused too.
Although he didn't say much, and it was the first time we met, I felt that he really took care of me.
And the words he said before made me a little confused, as Qin Liangying's man?
Could it be that the master knows Qin Liangying? That's ridiculous, isn't it?
I shook my head and threw out this ridiculous thought, how could I know a man who had been dead for nearly a thousand years?
He couldn't have lived for a thousand years, could he?
……
Although we are still hundreds of kilometers away from the ancient tombs of Longxingshan, the current roads are all unexplored mountain roads.
It is a primeval forest with few bushes and is full of towering thousand-year-old trees.
The branches of the trees are intertwined, and the flourishing branches and leaves that stretch out like green clouds cover the blue sky so tightly that no matter which way you look, you can't see how deep the forest is.
The forest is teeming with all kinds of strange and dangerous animals, as well as a large number of insects that spread diseases.
The plants are always crawling with biting ants, and the ground is often slippery and soft with mud and rotting wood under the damp foliage layer.
Clusters of vines and creeping plants make walking more difficult, and the sweltering heat in the woods means that those caught in it will soon be sweating profusely.
What frightened me the most was all kinds of poisons, the poisonous mosquito was the size of a dragonfly, and it was extremely itchy to bite it, and it didn't take a few seconds for the bite to rise up into a big bag.
As for the mountain locusts, needless to say, I don't know how much blood was sucked along the way, and I was disgusted to see the mountain locusts attached to the skin and suck their bodies round.
I can still tolerate this, mainly because there are snakes in this mountain.
Listening to Ma Liang, there is a black poisonous snake in this mountain, which is not very long, but it is very poisonous.
It is supposed to be an undiscovered species of snake, this snake has only one eye, it grows on the top of the head, it looks like a pustule, and it does not need to be treated at all when it is bitten, and it dies on the spot.
Many tomb robbers, or tourists, and medicine collectors died in the mouths of this poisonous snake.
Maybe it's also my luck that I haven't encountered this snake all the way.
"Rest here!" I don't know how long I walked, but I saw Ye stop, turned his head and said to us.
When I heard him say this, I sat down on the ground as if I had received an amnesty.
I was already tired and half-dead along the way, but Ma Liang and I didn't dare to stop if I didn't speak, so I gritted my teeth and walked forward, and the feeling that my legs were sore was not my own.
Ma Liang fell directly to the ground in embarrassment, opening his mouth wide, sticking out his tongue, panting heavily, similar to Huanhuan.
"Camp here today, and we're on our way tomorrow!" The master walked around several times on his back, and suddenly spoke.
What the?
What time is it, and we can't set up camp?
I was a little confused.
You know, it's only three o'clock in the afternoon, how many miles have you traveled on this day? Not more than three out of ten.
"Master...... Can we go faster? Seeing that the master took out the tent, I endured my numb scalp and walked over to ask him with courage.
After all, I really can't afford it, and it's less than two days before the 30th of May, and when I can't get Zhang Tianshi's watch, I'm going to die!
When he heard my words, his eyes narrowed, as if he was a little dissatisfied with my rebuttal.
My heart also jerked, and I remembered what kind of existence was in front of me, and my head was big.
I even refuted a man whose life is like grass?
Am I tired of being alive!
"I said, you're not going to die!" Ye spoke slowly.
"But...... "I wanted to say yes, but when my brain twitched, I was so special."
"I said you wouldn't die!" Ye You repeated, and instead of paying attention to me, he lowered his head and went to clean up the tent.
I still wanted to ask, but I really didn't have the courage to speak when I saw my grandfather's expression.
He may not be the same to me, but if I rely on this, it may not be.
"You're really not going to die!" Ma Liang may have seen through my thoughts, and quickly pulled me aside and whispered.
"Of course you said that, and it's not like you're going to die!" I retorted decadently.
"Actually, there's something I haven't told you!" Ma Liang looked a little entangled.
"What do you mean?" I raised my eyebrows, and I felt as if he had something to say.
"Actually, it's nothing, at least you won't die in the next two days, even if you don't die, you won't die, but I haven't said it!" Ma Liang seemed to be out of the way, and his voice was a little louder.
Ye turned his head abruptly and glanced at Ma Liang, and when I thought he would do it, he lowered his head again and continued to set up the tent.
"Tell me what's wrong?" I immediately became anxious and pulled Ma Liang's arm.
This time I say that I will die, and the next time I say that I will not die, what kind of trouble is this?
"You and Qin Liangying's wedding date is May 30, 2017, right?" Ma Liang asked.
I nodded and said isn't this nonsense? I've said it a million times.
"Is there a 30th in May?" Ma Liang asked rhetorically.
Is there a thirtieth in May? Of course, there are 30 days in May, unless it is a lunar calendar, from 16 to 18 years of the lunar calendar, there is no May 30 day.
Wait a minute!
A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in my head, and my whole body was not good, and I was trembling with excitement.
How did I forget, the ancient people got married and said that it was the lunar calendar! I've always thought it was the Gregorian calendar.
"Then you mean, I...... I'm not going to die? I won't die even on May 30th? "I was so excited that I almost couldn't speak.
Fuck, since I'm not going to die, what the fuck am I going to come to the Dragon-shaped Mountain Ancient Tombs! Instantly I had the illusion of ascending to heaven.
The tears of excitement are about to fall.
But Ma Liang's next words knocked me to the bottom, like a basin of cold water suddenly poured on my head, extinguishing all my enthusiasm.
"For the living, there is no lunar calendar in these three years, but there is one in the underworld!"
Your uncle's!
Whether Lao Tzu has ever gone to the underworld, who knows it?
"Doesn't that mean I'm still going to die?" I almost cried, can you not play like this?
"At least you have more than a month to go, what are you afraid of?" Ma Liang said slowly.
"You...... You already knew? I pointed at him and was speechless.
"Hmm!" Ma Liang nodded, then grinned.
For a moment, I didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
Happily, I still have more than a month to live, and in this more than a month, we have the opportunity to get Zhang Tianshi's table from the ancient tombs of Longxing Mountain.
Sadly, I will still die, but the time is only a month late, and no one knows if Zhang Tianshi's table is still in the Longxing Mountain Ancient Tombs.
It's like being put on the gallows, just putting the noose around your neck, and the next second you think you're going to die, who knows that the guy who executed suddenly had diarrhea, let you slow down first.
But whatever, at least I'll live for a month longer, won't I? There is still hope!
Thinking of this, I no longer have any complaints, and honestly set up the tent.
"That's right!" I looked at Ma Liang, "You said that you didn't sweat at all when you walked this way, why did you say he had to camp in broad daylight?" ”
Ma Liang replied casually while making a tent: "Four o'clock is the most cloudy time, this road can't be walked at all, whoever walks will die!" ”
As soon as Ma Liang's words fell, I heard Huan Huan roaring incessantly at a pile of grass, and his voice was full of fear......
