Chapter 185: The Truth (2)
"Go to the countryside to know the youth!"
Once at Wong Tai Sin's house, I asked the leather coat what he was doing in Hong Village, and the leather coat replied that he had come to find his father, and his father was an educated youth who had been sent to Hong Village.
Don't...... The so-called Helan Sheng is the father of the leather coat?
The surname of the leather-clothed guest is He?!
If nothing else, it seems to be able to match based on the current age.
The devolved intellectuals are generally older than the local Red Guards, and according to their current age, they should be in their twenties. The leather-clad man looked a little old with a beard, but he was actually about forty. This is about 20 years younger than Chen Jiutong and Ma Yongde, and they are completely right in terms of age.
If that's the case, it's understandable that the leather coater has been hiding his name, and the surname He is not very common, and once his name is said, it is easy to remind.
"Helan Sheng is from the city and has culture, so he has a great influence in the village, and our Red Guard King Kong took him as the leader, and it was he who brought us into the cold water cave, and then encountered an accident." Chen Jiutong sighed slightly and continued.
"What happened to you?" I wondered, Chen Jiutong lost his spirit, and he also went to worship ghosts after Ji Ye, I'm afraid it is also a way to seek refuge, in short, it doesn't seem to have fallen well.
Ma Yongde's face darkened, and he said: "The five of us were all young and frivolous at the time, and we learned from that notebook that there was something under the ground of Hongcun, so we ran in without fear of heaven and earth, and as a result, your Jiu Uncle's spirit was hooked away, and I was cursed, and Helansheng and Hong Qingsheng got a strange disease, and Ji Ye also became chattering. ”
"What happened, what happened?" I hurriedly asked.
"Actually, we didn't know, we just walked around, and nothing happened at that time, until a long time after we came out of the cold water hole, we knew that there was something wrong with our bodies."
Chen Jiutong shook his head and said: "My body began to rot inexplicably, and I can't cure it no matter how I go to the hospital, Ji Ye is haunted by evil ghosts all day long, Helan Sheng's body began to dry up, lost moisture, and became a dry corpse, while your Uncle Qingsheng is covered in long hair, and his body is getting more and more rickety day by day." ”
I grew my mouth. Looking at it now, it should not be an empty sentence that the people in the cold water cave are not close, there are warning tablets at the entrance of the cave and in the depths of the cave, and that thing should not be left in vain.
Ordinary people really can't go in, otherwise something big will happen.
I looked at Ma Yongde again and asked, "What about you, Uncle De, you look very good, and you have been the village chief for so many years." ”
"Hmph."
Ma Yongde smiled bitterly, and a trace of pain appeared on his face: "If I told you that I watched myself lose control and strangled my lover, would you still think so?" ”
"What?!"
I couldn't help but shrink back, chilling all over.
Ma Yongde said bitterly: "I was the latest to find symptoms, I was married and had children at that time, that night, I was completely conscious, but my hand suddenly touched my lover's neck out of my control, she was ...... She thought I was just joking with her, smiled and asked me what I was doing, and then ...... "At the end of the words, Ma Yongde's voice was a little choked.
"How so?"
Just thinking about that scene made me feel cold in my bones.
What kind of collapse is it for a person to watch his hands go uncontrolled and strangle the person he loves the most?
How many nights will you recall being strangled in the eyes of your lover? In the midst of endless guilt and self-blame, how did Ma Yongde come over?
Ma Yongde added: "Since then, I have given my two children to others to raise, and I have been alone until now, and I don't even dare to raise a cat or a dog at home, because I will strangle them to death." ”
"In short, all five of us are in decline, either we don't dare to start a family, or our family is ruined, Hong Qingsheng finally became a stubborn, and it is estimated that it is inseparable from that incident." Chen Jiutong also shook his head and sighed.
My heart twitched when I heard it, what happened to these five people to cause those terrible things to happen?
Hong Qingsheng's family was ruined and turned into a stubborn; Ma Yongde is also a broken family, his wife was strangled to death by himself, the children dare not be put by his side, Chen Jiutong's body is rotten, and he has never started a family; Ji Ye worshipped ghosts, and his heart changed dramatically, harming countless people; As for the last Helan Sheng, there must be no good end, otherwise the leather-clothed guest would not have come to Hongcun to find someone.
After a long period of silence, I digested the information that had suddenly poured in, and then asked, "Then why didn't you tell me all this earlier?" ”
"First, you don't dare, and second, you won't believe us." Ma Yongde shook his head.
"Why?" I was baffled.
"It's very simple, if I say, you have to choose between me and Miao Miao to believe, who do you believe?" Chen Jiutong asked.
Me: "......"
I was speechless for a while, if I was faced with the choice of one of the two, I am afraid that I would choose to believe that Miao Miao is a high probability event, three years of college friendship plus I have her in my heart, no one can replace her position, her words.
"So, no matter what I tell you, they can get through, you don't believe in me and not her, plus when I was sick and went to the doctor, I thought it was hopeless to open the underground palace, so I made a move on you, and I lost the foundation of trust even more." Chen Jiu Tongdao.
"The most important thing is that we don't dare to expose it at all, otherwise we will die in the village the next day." Ma Yongde looked at me and smiled bitterly, and said: "That woman with a scab on her face is too powerful, we are not her opponents at all, so whether it is me or your Uncle Jiu, once it is leaked, I will immediately be unable to stay in Hongcun, so I can only run out and run for my life." ”
"I see!"
My heart trembled, and what they said explained almost everything.
I'm not stupid, I can tell that what they say is from the bottom of their hearts, not a lie.
They didn't dare to approach me, because they were afraid that if they said too much, I would not only not believe me, but would reveal their identities, and then the lew women would definitely kill them.
Uncle Chen Jiu died like this, because Ma Yongde was afraid of exposing himself, so he could only silence him. Even the child was the last resort for them to risk preventing the bronze door from being opened.
"The worst thing is that you can't know too much!"
Chen Jiutong suddenly said very seriously: "If you know too much and their plan doesn't work, they will not hesitate to attack you; When the time comes, not only will it not work, but it will kill you; And that child's earth soul is in it, if you don't open it, you will also die, in this respect, you are on the same front as them, even if you know it, you must open this place, because you have no choice unless you are willing to give up your life. ”
After hearing this, I almost couldn't stand on my legs, and one after another the facts I saw were presented in front of me, naked, even bloody!
"It's imperative, let's hurry up." At this time, Ma Yongde looked left and right and said.
I nodded stunned, so I went straight to the top of the mountain with the two of them, although I met a lot of ghosts in the middle, but there was no danger along the way, and we didn't dare to enter the palace that passed, and there was really something very powerful inside, so avoid it as much as possible.
Chen Jiutong opened the road, I was in the middle, Ma Yongde broke off, and after more than half an hour, he finally arrived at the top of the mountain.
It was a huge black palace, and the material used to build it was a black stone, and I don't know what kind of material it was.
And as soon as I got closer, I felt that the air around me dropped by dozens of degrees, and this cold was not the cold on the surface of the body, but the shiver from the soul.
It's like the palace in front of us is not a palace, but a dormant beast that will swallow us up at any moment.
I observed that the palace was very large, forming a whole, and was divided into three floors.
Chen Jiutong walked for a while, took out a drawing and looked at it, and said, "Let's go in from the back of the palace, don't meet them." ”
I also glanced at the picture and found that it was a hand-drawn picture, so I asked, "Is this picture from the handwritten book of the ancestor of the Hong family?" ”
"Yes." Chen Jiutong nodded, and said a little gloomily: "It's just a pity that the young and frivolous destroyed the notebook, we know the situation and this sketch, which was recalled later, very incomplete, that notebook originally had complete information about the underground palace, very comprehensive, but ......"
At the end of the words, it turned into a sigh.
Ma Yongde also said: "If we hadn't destroyed the notebook in the first place, we might not have taken this step." ”
I nodded, indeed, those crazy years changed the trajectory of too many people's lives.
