Volume 1 Chapter 73: Two Things You Can't Look At
History is so capricious and impermanent.
Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was just a cattle herding baby when he was a child, who would have thought that he would become the founding king of the country in the future?
Therefore, it does not seem strange that a group of six-fingered people with supermale syndrome have mastered the method of prolonging life that successive kings have not been able to find.
We have basically figured out the background and development history of the Six Fingers, and we have also obtained the blood jade left by them.
It's just that there are some things I haven't been able to figure out, such as who is the dried corpse sitting on the lotus platform controlled by the nematode in the secret room on the top floor of the six-fingered earth building? He is not a six-fingered man, why is he in the six-fingered man's top secret place? And how did the Six-Fingers come to an end?
Or maybe the Six-Fingered Clan has not perished, but most of the people have disappeared into the dust like butterflies?
These questions are not recorded, and if you want to find out, I am afraid that you can only ask the butterfly that escaped from Wulong Mountain.
It was almost twelve o'clock after discussing this, and the boring time passed like this, and I went to the toilet with my second brother to release water. I suddenly remembered that day of the lot, so I told my second brother about the longest wooden strip I drew and Baisha helped me.
After thinking about it, I also asked my own speculation that day: "Second brother, if I drew the longest wooden bar that day and was announced, would you also think of other excuses to make the lottery not count?" ”
The second brother looked at me with a smile and said, "That's not it, so the lottery will be meaningless, and if any random decisions are made later, Bai Sha and Yu Yang will not be convinced..... But I would say that you have an arm injury and you can't push the raft alone, so I will use this as a reason to make a new decision. ”
I felt like I had an epiphany, but this was similar to what I guessed, the second brother used the lottery to elect the person who stayed to push the bamboo raft was just an excuse, and the ultimate goal was just to choose one of the two from Bai Sha and Yu Yang.
"Qiuzi, do you think that Bai Sha saw through this and helped you, so you are grateful to him..... But Yu Yang didn't see through this? ”
I nodded as a matter of course, but the second brother shook his head at me, looking a little disappointed, and seemed not satisfied with my answer.
"Even though you realize that this lottery is not easy and that you have improved a lot more than when you were a child, you still look at it too one-sidedly..... Can Yu Yang not see through this? He saw through this as early as Bai Sha, but he didn't have the ability to change all this, but Bai Sha did, so he was the one who was left behind, not Bai Sha. Even if there are many ways to choose, the last person left is still Yu Yang. ”
I was momentarily stunned in place, and when I thought about it carefully, it seemed that this was really the case, only Bai Sha could do it without exposing the results of changing the lottery method on the surface.
The second brother patted me on the shoulder and said softly: "Qiuzi, people's hearts are very complicated, but this is also linked to ability..... So, when I go back this time, I'll send you to the institute, and you stay away from this business. ”
I wanted to say something more, but the second brother spoke to me again: "There are two things in this world that you can't look at directly, one is the blazing sun hanging in the sky, and the other is the human heart hidden in the body. ”
After saying this, the second brother waved his hand and motioned for me to go back early.
Before leaving, the second brother suddenly said: "When I go back to Xianyang this time, I will find a relationship to get you and Master Cao into the scientific research institute, you can study hard in it, and you can be regarded as .....eating iron rice bowls in the future."
"I have a criminal record, and I didn't go to college, how can I go to that kind of place?"
At this time, Zhang Chenglong, who didn't know when he came out, said: "Third master, you don't have to worry, with the current ability of the Zhang family, it is not difficult to send you in." ”
I left with an "oh", thinking about what my second brother said to me as I went.
"There are two things in this world that cannot be looked at directly, one is the blazing sun hanging in the sky, and the other is the human heart hidden in the body."
......
I saw in the courtyard that one of the rooms was still lit, and there was a rickety figure in it, which looked like Zhuo Sang.
I couldn't help but think of a picture in my mind, a rickety old woman with a gloomy face, constantly concocting and making insect Gu in her hands.
In fact, I really have too much prejudice against Xiangxi, because I met the corpse chasers in Xiangxi in the mountains, and I was instilled with the idea that Xiangxi is full of Gu magicians since I was a child.
So much so that when I see some people who don't look very good-looking, I think he's a Gu magician.
Walking out of Zhuo Sang's house, a cold snap hit, and I subconsciously wrapped the padded jacket on my body. There are no street lights on the road in this Miao Village, and they need to carry oil lamps when they go out at night in the past few years.
But when I went out, I didn't think it would come out for so long, so I forgot to take the oil lamp out when I went out, and now I am the only one walking on the dirt road, and it is pitch black all around.
I trembled all over, this kind of scene I had experienced many times when I went to the tomb of the Song Dynasty with my second brother last time. Now, as soon as the darkness around me subsides, I can't help but think of the ugly-looking tomb beast.
I didn't go far, so I retreated, thinking that I might as well squeeze in with my second brother and Master Cao for one night at Zhuo Sang's house.
Thinking of this, I immediately turned my head and prepared to go back, but suddenly the voice of Cha Sisi came from behind me.
"Zhang Zhiqiu?"
I looked back in surprise and found that Cha Sisi happened to be walking around the corner with an oil lamp in front of me.
"Why did you come out so late?" I was amazed.
Cha Sisi pointed to the oil lamp in his hand and said to me: "You didn't come back so late, and you didn't bring the oil lamp when you went out, I thought that the road was too dark when you came back, and if you couldn't see the road clearly and fell again, your body that was not good enough would have to be re-raised..."
I was even more surprised: "So, you're here to pick me up?" ”
"Or else?"
An inexplicable warmth rose in my heart, and I looked at Cha Sisi gratefully, but her face didn't show too obvious expression. It didn't seem like something too special for her to go out and pick me up.
At the same time, I also noticed that Cha Sisi was not wearing any thinner than me, and even a little thin, so I took off the coat I was draped on my body and draped it on Cha Sisi's body: "This point is already quite cold, if it is because of me that you are infected with the wind cold, I will definitely not be able to go in my heart." ”
It was my action that made Cha Sisi's face red, and she deliberately moved the oil lamp to prevent me from looking at her face.
I wanted to laugh a little, but eventually held back. With the company of Cha Sisi, in fact, it is the same for me with or without an oil lamp, what I am afraid of is not the darkness, but the fear of being alone in the dark.
In this way, Cha Sisi and I carried oil lamps and walked together in this dark night.
To this day, I still can't forget that Cha Sisi's pretty face was frozen red that night, and he carried a not-so-bright oil lamp, which illuminated my gray world extremely brightly.
That's why I went out of my way to kill those people in the end.....
