In the dead of night, a figure sneaks into the tavern's bedroom. He plugged in the door and fumbled for the lamp on the wall in the dark.
"Smack-"
The white incandescent light illuminated the dilapidated and cold room. The man threw the bloody black package in his hand, and the wooden table immediately "creaked" and shook as if it could not support the weight.
After a night's work, his face was very tired, and he stared at the package, rubbed the corners of his forehead, and pushed the glasses that were stuck on the bridge of his nose. There seems to be something strange in the corner of the eye. He jerked his head up and saw a tall figure standing quietly by the leaky window. The figure hid behind the thick dark curtains made of cotton and linen, and could only see the silhouette from the side, standing there silently, like a ghost wandering behind a man in the dark night.
"Who?" he asked in a low voice, his trembling voice revealing his emotions at the moment.
"Hehe," the figure stepped out from behind the curtains. It was a tall, muscular man with a centipede-like scar on the side of his face that extended from the top of his head to his cheeks.
The man said slowly: "It turns out that the well-known glasses Wei on the road also has times when he is afraid and depressed. He glanced at the package on the table and smiled mysteriously, "Why, today's job is very tricky?" There was a faint smell of blood in the air. After many years of working in the ground, he could smell that the blood was not fresh, and even had some moldy and rancid smell. This kind of old blood is only found in zongzi that are more than 100 years old.
Spectacles Wei breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand, motioning for the visitor to sit on the only stool in the room while he sat on the edge of the narrow bed.
"Mortals, when there is beauty, there will naturally be times when they are down. Although the name is given by the world, it is better than the one without a name. Glasses Wei replied calmly: "It's you flying hand Zhang, the sudden visit shouldn't just come to me to knock your teeth, right?"
"Hehe, it's really the person who calls for wind and rain on the road. It's an honor that you can call me by name. The pilot paused and continued, "I heard that you have been active in the southern Yunnan area recently, and I happen to be there. So after several turns, I came to visit. With that, the pilot Zhang made a gesture.
"There are countless ancient tombs and temples in southern Yunnan, and most of the people on the road have come here to work in recent years. You rob your grave, I dig my grave, don't interfere with each other, just right. Glasses Wei didn't want to talk about it, he meant to chase away customers.
"However, some of the tombs were not stolen by you alone. The pilot looked at the blood stains on the black package and sighed: "Nine deaths, almost put your life into it, but you didn't steal anything, it's better not to steal." ”
Glasses Wei looked at the cobwebs in the corner.
The pilot lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "I found an ancient tomb of the Miao people that has not been stolen so far. It is said that the priceless treasure of the entire Miao people is buried there. I'm going to take a few buddies on a trip, and when I heard that you were here, I thought I'd call you, how about four or six points then?"
Oh, it's another one who takes a fancy to the Wei family's inverted bucket technique. Everyone on the road knows that the people of the Wei family are agile, experienced in inverted buckets, and even have a set of secret skills for subduing zongzi created by the family. These have made people on the road flock to it, and even gradually spread a saying that the people of the Wei family have been favored by God, and where there is the Wei family, they are not afraid of the demons in the ancient tomb.
Thinking of this, Wei smiled self-deprecatingly, what kind of god's favor? The people of the Wei family are also ordinary people, they will also die and get sick. Since he came to southern Yunnan from his home, he has been a little unlucky. In the past year, I have entered a lot of ancient tombs, but I haven't made a few good things, but I have encountered a lot of zongzi. Seeing that the money he brought with him when he came out was about to run out, the choice now was to either go back in disgrace or do another big one.
The thin bodies of his wife and children, and the hungry eyes seemed to appear in front of his eyes. In these turbulent times, being able to fill your stomach is the happiest thing in the world.
Glasses Wei pursed his lips, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!"
In this way, Pilot Zhang took a few of his young buddies and glasses Wei into the mysterious Miao tomb deep in the mountains. A month later, except for the glasses Wei, the others were never able to come out of the ancient tomb......
"Grandpa once told me about it. He passed out and was in a daze when he saw a woman with the head of a snake. He couldn't see her clearly, but he could hear her. The woman begged him to save her from the tomb. She was originally a descendant of the ancient god Nuwa and a goddess of the heavenly realm. If she can get out of the tomb, it won't be long before she wakes up again. At that time, she also mentioned the Ancient Sui. She reminded him that the Fusiliers had sworn an oath that would be damned if they broke it. Wei Zhongtian recounted while reminiscing.
Just after consuming too much physical strength to save Wei Yu, Youluan was weakly supporting the ground with one arm. She thought for a moment and asked, "So your grandfather stole me out of the tomb?"
Wei Zhongtian shook his head: "Not at first. When he woke up and found that he was still alive, he desperately tried to escape from the tomb. A few months later, his child, who was my father, fell inexplicably. Since then, he has been unable to use his legs, and can only crawl on the ground like a snake. I took him to see a lot of doctors, but I never saw what was wrong. Grandpa watched his father crawl and remembered what he had seen in the ancient tomb of the ancient Miao people, the giant snake with eyes like lanterns. Only then did he remember the reminder of the woman with the head and body of a snake in his dream. After some more time, he finally found our family's genealogy and found that we were indeed descendants of the ancient Sui. So, I had to return to southern Yunnan again and find the ancient tomb of the Miao people at that time. The strange thing is that just like the female zongzi (Wei Zhongtian glanced up at Youluan) was waiting for him deliberately, this time he entered the ancient tomb all the way unimpeded. He finally kowtowed three times in front of the ancient bronze coffin of the female zongzi, and then carried the female zongzi out of the ancient tomb and placed it in the basement. Until you woke up two years ago. ”
Serpent, Tomb ...... Youluan sighed with emotion. I don't know who buried her after her death, could it be her people who believed in the great god Nuwa in Miao Jiang. As for the giant snake described by Wei Zhongtian, it may have been transformed by her Nuwa Stone.
"No wonder you're not afraid of what I am now. Youluan's free dry hand grabbed the corner of his clothes and tightened: "Anyway, thank you very much to your grandfather." If I succeed in recovering my powers, I will find a way to break the bond between the remnants of Nuwa and the descendants of the Suiren. But now there's a question, what happened to the letter you mailed in the early spring?"
"Letter?" Wei Zhongtian was stunned: "I haven't mailed any letters. ”
