Li Xu reached out to get a cigarette and a lighter from the table, I went to the balcony to breathe, as soon as the door opened, the heat outside rushed in like crazy, the fire that Li Xu had just lit was almost blown out, and scolded hatefully: ", the pig's head is steamed in an instant, isn't it too hot?" Hurry up and close the door for me! ”

I gave her a roll of my eyes and said, "You are also a person who has come from life and death, why are you still cold and hot, so squeamish!" ”

She said: "Get out, my mother doesn't have your good life, I'm not afraid of cold, I'm not afraid of heat, I'm not afraid of pain, and I don't have to die, the whole thing is a goblin." ”

I don't like to hear this, as if I want this kind of thing, as if I'm not afraid that my body will break out with Pandora's dysmorphic syndrome one day.

Li Xu also realized it and regretted it a little, so he moved his gaze to the void, changed the subject, and asked me whose house it was. I said that judging from the formalities, it was my grandfather's. She asked again if she had bought it or if it had been made. I said that I had heard Uncle Xiu say that Su Mosen had hired workers to build it, and he personally supervised the work. She asked me how many years it had been. I said I don't know, anyway, this house was already here when I came to Qianzhou.

It's like chatting back and forth, and there's nothing to investigate deeply, so Li Xu didn't ask after asking, and lit a cigarette silently. I said hey, don't smoke when the air conditioner is on, no, spicy eyes. She didn't hear it, she twitched to herself, and continued to hum the song she hadn't finished humming just now, her expression was a little strange, and there was a strange tranquility in her eyes, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

The old lazy man was still looking at the painting and reading the information with his head down, and for a long time, he suddenly sighed, saying that he had lived in the valley of the river for many years, but he didn't know anything about the situation behind the black stone gate in the forest opposite Rainbow Lake, which was really a pity.

At this time, the singing in Li Xu's mouth suddenly stopped.

She is still in the same posture just now, her neck resting on the back of the chair, facing the sky on her back, blinking her eyelashes and looking at the ceiling, a very stubborn posture, but her expression is very serious.

"I know a little," she said. ”

The lazy man and I were stunned, and looked at her fixedly, waiting for her to continue.

But she was not in a hurry, picked up from the place where she had just broken, patiently hummed the whole song, then stood up and walked to the cabinet by the door, opened her own large backpack, took out a piece of paper folded in half, walked back to its place, carefully opened the paper, and put it on the table.

It is an old photograph that has been processed, enlarged, and then printed out with computer software.

It's a very old, very old, very old old photo.

There are more than a dozen people in the photo, the hairstyle and clothing are not at all in the current society, green shirts and robes, and a few of them are still combed with big braids from the Qing Dynasty, maybe the clarity is not very high when they are taken, and the years are too long, no matter how good the restoration technology is, it is difficult to restore it to the same, and there are a few places that are slightly faded and out of shape, so after looking carefully many times, I can roughly recognize that there are Su Mosen, Uncle Xiu, Uncle Chen, Lin Ya and Huang Fukang inside, obviously, when this photo was taken, There were no scars on their faces or on all the skin that was exposed to their clothes.

Just now, when Lao Lazy was telling about the past, I had already figured out why Su Mosen and Uncle Xiu had scars here and there, especially Lin Ya, a scar slanted through the entire face, and the whole face was broken, and Xia Dongyi, who also had one on his forehead, which he covered with bangs. Those scars were caused by the Holocaust, and they survived very narrowly in extremely dangerous circumstances.

The old lazy also recognized them one by one, in addition to the ones I knew, there were several others he had seen, all of whom had come out of the forest.

Those "devils", or "impermanence".

The most important thing in the photo is the woman sitting in the middle of the first row.

That's the only woman in this picture.

That's me.

As soon as my eyes touched the woman in the photo, my blood froze all over my body, as if I had fallen into an ice hole, and my heart was cold.

That's me.

Li Xu looked at me seriously and said, "You also escaped from that place, and you are also a survivor of that massacre." ”

I was completely confused, unable to speak, unable to move, and unable to even take my eyes off the face of the woman in the photo.

However, I actually misunderstood.

The woman in the photo is not me, she just looks like me, or I look like her.

Li Xu said: "I thought this was you at first, but according to the later investigation and a series of analysis, the person in the photo should be your mother." ”

This photo was taken by the people who kidnapped Li Xu's mother and placed it at a designated place and then sent a text message to inform her to pick it up, asking her to find the people in the photo, find a few if she can find a few, and notify them of the detailed address as soon as she finds it.

They gave her some clues one after another.

She followed the clues to Huaqiao Town to find Xiu Chang'an, but he had been missing for several years; then went to Liangbao City to find Huang Fukang, but unfortunately he was killed; Zheng Yinru - that is, Su Mosen, before she met me, she only knew that he was Zheng Yinru - Zheng Yinru's whereabouts she checked all the way from Chenjiawu, Li Xu found his pharmaceutical factory and residence, but never found his person. She informed the kidnappers of the news of these three people as soon as possible, but ......

But then another one was found, and she did not inform the kidnappers.

Because I can't bear it.

is the third from the right in the last row of the photo, a fat middle-aged man, with a sad face, staring at the camera with wooden eyes, without any brilliance, like a walking corpse.

Li Xu said that this person also came out of the valley of the Pegasus Peak like Lao Lao, changed his name and surname to Li Wei, and worked as a farmer in a remote rural area in Jiangxi.

In other words, it's unlucky.

After Li Xu found out where Li Wei was, he immediately took a plane, changed buses, and then tossed three rounds to rush there, first inquired in the village during the day to understand, and at night touched the window, turned into it and tied up the person, and said very clearly, either to tell him everything he knew, or to hand him over to those who were looking for him everywhere.

At that time, Li Xu himself didn't understand what the kidnappers were and what they were going to do when they were looking for the person in the photo, but Li Wei seemed to understand a little, and he was scared on the spot, with tears and snot flowing down his face.

Li Wei told Li Xu what he knew, of course, I don't know if there was anything to hide from her, but she didn't believe it, looking at his appearance at the time, she just wished she could know more and tell her more, just begging her to let him live.

The old lazy man was right, behind the black stone gate deep in the forest on the other side of the lake, there was indeed a city, a city made of grottoes, a city built by hollowing out the mountain.

It is the so-called "Yin City" in the legend.

Li Wei said that the people who lived there called it the "Palace of Eternal Life" because what they did had something to do with immortality.

How big is the entire Hall of Eternal Life, Li Wei has not figured out at all, because the rules are very strict, in today's words, it is a sub-department, which department stays in which place is very restricted, and it cannot be overcome, and there are many passages in the hall, no matter how careful you go, you will get lost, he has been lost three times, and was sent back to his place by the guard with a knife on his neck.

Hearing this, I suddenly remembered a lot of things, one was the eye that Qiao Lanxiang left in my closet, and the red lines in the eyes were maze-like lines; The second is that Dai Furong also has a labyrinth architectural drawing among the several paper cranes that Dai Furong took from Xing Weina's room; The third is that they mentioned before that the tomb under Chenjiawu is also a labyrinth transformed from a natural grotto.

It can be seen that the maze is a kind of inheritance for them, and it is also the embodiment of skills.

Li Wei told Li Xu that although he didn't know the specific number, there were really many people living in the Hall of Eternal Life, and he didn't know how to distribute it, as far as he was concerned, working in one place, his home was not far away in another place, and the family was never allowed to come to the place where he worked, and he couldn't go home every day, if there was no special need to rush to work, he could basically go home every five days. He had five wives, all of whom were originally sent to his home by the guards to serve him. No one cares how many wives he marries, as long as he is happy, it is no problem to marry ten or eight, but there is one thing, that is, the first child born to each wife must be handed over to the guards to take away, and the rest no matter how many are born, as long as he is willing to raise, he can stay by his side to raise, at the beginning of each month, there will be someone in charge of this aspect of affairs to send food and money to each family, when the children grow up, there will be someone to choose them to do all kinds of work, some children will occasionally go home to see, and some children will not go home again when they leave, In addition to the five children who were taken by the guards, he had eleven children, all of whom died in the massacre, along with their five wives.

It sounds like a fantastical story.

Li Wei was born in 1898, that is, in the 24th year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, and since he was a child, he has befriended a foreign missionary, who has a variety of knowledge, and likes geology and smelting the most.

He told Li Xu that when he was eighteen years old, he went to the countryside and was hijacked into a carriage with a sack, and he traveled for an unknown number of days and nights, and when he arrived at the Hall of Eternal Life, the people who had kidnapped him used force to coerce him into studying some special, magical, unheard of and unseen mineral with a master surnamed Liu.

The task of their entire department, he said, was to extract a substance from the mine that they later called "乣" and use it in brick making, tile making and other construction purposes. After about three or four years, maybe five or six years, in the Hall of Eternal Life, everyone lived without any concept of time. Anyway, one day, the master surnamed Liu of their department went out and didn't come back, and after that, he was taken by the guards to a room that looked a bit like a yamen, and someone came and suddenly appointed him as the head of their department.
