CHAPTER XXIV
The literate Zhang Mazi also knows this history, but he is haunted by his mother's words when she was dying, and always feels that this noodle may be genuine. At this time, he pointed to the mask and said to Zhang Feng www.biquge.info "There are no absolutes in the world, you look at the runes on this mask, which ordinary people can imitate?"
Zhang Feng didn't notice the runes on the mask, but when he heard this, he looked at the mask again, only to see that the inside of the mask was indeed imprinted with dense twisted characters.
He couldn't help but laugh: "Dad, don't think that these characters are amazing, I saw some silver bracelets from the merchants last year, and there are also such characters on them, do you know how many silver bracelets like those are sold by the merchants? At least more than a hundred! The goods dealers made it clear that those things are made of imitation of the ornaments of the spirit beast people, and they are fresh and interesting." ”
Zhang Mazi was shaken by what he said, but he still didn't feel at ease: "Boy, are you smart? My mother has also seen the world outside, and what she said has its own truth." You don't care if it's real or not, just keep it and don't get into trouble. ”
Zhang Feng had his own opinions, he put the mask back in the box, and said: "Dad, my father left a box of tatters for me, only this mask may be worth a little money, I don't sell it, where can I go to raise the road expenses? If you are afraid of disaster, I will tell people that I picked up this thing, anyway, I have been to other strange places in Cliff City except for the Holy Mountain, if I say that I picked up this mask, others will not believe it." ”
Zhang Mazi shook his head stubbornly: "I haven't touched any of the money you have handed over to me in the past few years, I have saved it for you, plus the 150,000 yuan you have earned this year, there should be a total of 300,000 yuan, which is enough for you to spend some days outside." ”
Zhang Feng said: "You can keep all the money for your own use, this time I will go outside, I am not sure when I will come back, your legs and feet are inconvenient, I don't feel at ease if I don't leave some money at home." It's good that the mask can be sold for some money, but if it's worthless, you don't have to worry about me if I go out empty-handed, I have the strength and I won't starve to death anywhere. ”
Zhang Mazi sighed, suddenly drank another glass of wine, and then sat silently, not knowing what he was thinking.
Zhang Feng knew that his father was sad, took out the map from the box, and teased his father with a smile: "Dad, my father was very thoughtful at the beginning, and it seemed that he expected me to go outside sooner or later, and even prepared a map for me." Hey, there are many circles drawn on this map, could it be a treasure marker?"
That map was nothing special, the teacher of the school hall had talked about some wonders of the world on similar maps, and there were similar maps for sale in the calligraphy and painting museum in Cliff City, but more than ten circles on the map were drawn strangely, and they were very consistent with the locations of several well-known forbidden places in the world.
That's it, in the circle, there are also small characters to briefly mark words like seeing and hearing, for example, in a certain circle, it is written: There is an underground palace here, the underground palace is empty, and there is nothing to be found in and out of the second time.
Zhang Feng originally had nothing to say about the map, but after noticing these circles, he was really puzzled, he looked at them carefully, and muttered to himself: "Impossible, these places are obviously forbidden places for anyone to enter, how can it seem like someone has broken in, this person is so bold, is he not afraid of the punishment of the Immortal Sect and the Four Kingdoms?"
In the textbooks of the academy, there are clear explanations of the forbidden places in the world, and the head sect of the Immortal Sect and the four kingdoms have laws prohibiting anyone from stepping into the forbidden places in their respective domains, so Zhang Feng will be very shocked when he finds that someone has trespassed on the forbidden land.
Zhang Mazi glanced at the map, "Boy, even if you haven't been to school in vain in the past few years, you know that those circles are forbidden places." My mother carefully looked at this map before her death, and guessed that someone had broken through the forbidden land, and that person was your own father nine times out of ten, so my mother specially told me to hide this map. ”
Zhang Feng was stunned when he heard this, it seems that his father's courage is really not small.
Zhang Mazi took the map from his hand, folded it and put it back in the box, "Baby, I'll hand over all these things to you now, I can't control what to do with them, and I can't control them." But you have to remember that when your father and your mother were hunted down, it was probably because of these things, after you went outside, you must not let people know their origins, if someone wants to rob you, you will give it to him. ”
Zhang Feng said with a smile: "In this case, it is better to sell them all, but it is worry-free." In a few days, I will take it to the bald uncle to estimate the price, if these things are really going to cause trouble, the bald uncle will also give a warning, and then it will not be too late. ”
Zhang Mazi was stunned, glared at him, sighed again, and didn't speak again.
After that day, Zhang Feng didn't go to the city center to play with his friends for several days, but went into the mountains alone to hunt, killed a toothed tiger and a wild boar, and chopped and pickled them all after carrying them home, ready to be left for his father to eat in the future, so that his father could eat some fishy meat from time to time when he was not at home.
In addition to this, he swept the roof, repaired two stools with broken legs, and unclogged the gutter at the back of the house......
He was almost not idle for a moment, Zhang Mazi saw that he was busy and was preparing for leaving home, so he often couldn't help but secretly wipe his tears. Zhang Feng sometimes saw his father with tears in his eyes, and always hardened his heart and pretended not to see it.
To be honest, he was very worried that his father was home alone, but his illness would be cured sooner or later, and it was a matter of time before he left home, and some sad feelings had to be endured.
After three days, he estimated that it would not be long before the merchant left the city to leave Cliff City, so he went to the center of the city to say goodbye to his friends, and by the way, he also took what his father left for him and sold it to the bald uncle.
Only the tiger head mask can really be sold for a few dollars, although the map has a strange origin, but it is of no practical use, but it may cause trouble, as for the soul breaking spell, only people like his father who believe in ghosts and gods will take it seriously, it is impossible to exchange money, there are two pearls left, and it won't sell much if you want to sell it, so it's better to give it to the general and Liancheng, which is a congratulatory gift for them to officially marry in advance.
He left home with a mask and beads, and first came to the blue fat man's house.
As soon as he entered the door, the female general saw him and opened her mouth to say, "You came just in time, I thought I would send you back the night pearl you gave me before today, I don't want that thing." ”
With that, he pulled him by the arm and pulled him into his room, and really handed the Night Pearl into his hands.
Zhang Feng was stunned: "What, is this thing not to your liking? You put it in the room, you don't need to light the oil lamp at night, I don't know how much oil you can save in a year." If you give it back to me now, won't your father feel distressed?"
The female general said hatefully: "I use this thing well, but my father has to let me take it and give it to Lian Baguio's dead girl." Then I might as well give it back to you, it's better than cheapening that dead girl. ”
When Zhang Feng heard this, he suddenly understood seven or eight points in his heart: "It was Lian Baguio who asked your father for it, right?" Last time, Uncle Lian said that he wanted Lian Baguio to help your father intercede with the little girl in the merchant, and I guessed that the girl would definitely take advantage of the fire to rob her." You really can't be angry with her about this, if she can save your family's business, what if she can give this thing to her? ”
The female general slammed the table and said angrily: "If you just give her Mingzhu, then I will endure it, but when she lets it out, she has to make me kneel and apologize to her, then I won't follow if I kill me." ”
Zhang Feng was stunned when he heard this, and said in disbelief: "Your father won't really force you to kneel down for her according to that dead girl, right?"
The female general said: "I was angry when I mentioned this, and the little slut of the merchant was somehow fascinated by Lian Baguio, obeyed her, and also handed over the matter of the green radish wine quota to the dead girl to make a decision." You also know that my father has always only cared about business and business, not face, even if Baguio asked my father to kneel down in person, my father would definitely kneel down without saying a word. ”
