When Tang Shan arrived at the shipyard in the western suburbs, it was already the afternoon of the next day. To be precise, it was the afternoon of the second day after the old man left him a message, that is, the afternoon of the second day after the battle between the two sides in the shipyard.

This can't be blamed for Yuyama's unpunctualness. Because he didn't get the message until noon the day after the old man left him a message. Neither of them has modern communication tools, no mobile phones or computers, and relying on ancient notes to leave messages is certainly unreliable in terms of time.

When Tang Shan found the note in the bridge cave, he didn't know when the old man put it in, and he didn't even know if it was the old man's handwriting. But as soon as he saw the words "come quickly", he immediately set off for the shipyard in the western suburbs. And there was no delay.

What Tang Shan didn't know was that the largest brawl in the history of the shipyard in the western suburbs and Fenglin Town had ended for nearly a whole day. He didn't know that the incident was caused by the old man, and both sides were looking for a chess game that no one had ever seen. And this chess game fragment, probably only the old man knows where it is.

Tang Shan walked into the gate of the shipyard and felt no traces of dozens of people fighting. This is because the shipyard has been abandoned for many years, and it is already in chaos, no one has ever cleaned it up, and after dozens of people rushed to trample, it did not show a more chaotic appearance. The only difference is that there are a few more truck tire marks at the gate, and a few motorcycle tracks walking by.

Other than that, the entire shipyard was dead silent.

Walking in the big courtyard, Tang Shan felt uneasy. A strange old man asked him to a strange place, not to mention the safety issues, and there was a strange atmosphere. Tang Shan suddenly wanted to retreat, feeling that he was rushing to this kind of strange date, which was itself a nervous problem. He couldn't help laughing at the gloomy sky:

"Damn, what the hell am I doing here?"

Turn around and leave.

If Tang Shan leaves, it is likely that there will be no subsequent story. Just as he was leaving, he saw a door open on the first floor at the end of the two-story dormitory. Since it's open, it's likely that there are people living there.

If you change to someone else, your curiosity is not so strong, or you have more important things to do, you may also leave. But Tang Shan happened to be the one who was curious and had nothing else to do, so he involuntarily walked towards the door.

It was afternoon, but there was no sun in the sky, and it was gloomy, but there was no rain, so the light was not good everywhere. Tang Shan walked to the door, but he couldn't see the furnishings in the house clearly, only found a few faint traces of blood on the broken wall at the door. The color has gone black, and it is clearly not what is left now.

This aroused Tangshan's curiosity even more. He only adjusted his breathing slightly, and then stepped into the room. It wasn't until he slowly expelled all the air from his chest cavity that his eyes got used to the darkness of the room.

Then he saw a man lying on the ground in the center. Motionless. He recognized at a glance that this man was the old man who had come with him. He also saw at a glance that there was a large blood stain on the old man's chest.

Tang Shan's surprise is not trivial. He almost fell to the ground on his feet. But he was so talented that he didn't fall. I held it up stiffly, but opened my mouth wide and said "ah".

And Tang Shan's talent is not only that. In this situation, if anyone is changed, I am afraid that they will rush out of the door, shouting "help" or "coming" and the like, and then they will call the police.

Tangshan's approach is completely different from ordinary people. This unusual personality later influenced his life. He held the door frame with both hands, stabilized his body, adjusted his breathing, and the first judgment was that the old man was dead. Lying on the ground was a cold corpse. It stands to reason that he didn't run away at first, but now that he has judged that there is a corpse on the ground, he should leave quickly. But Tang Shan didn't leave, and it was so ridiculous that he wanted to test whether the corpse was still breathing.

He took small steps cautiously, approached the corpse, crouched down, and followed the usual practice in the movie, two fingers probing under the nostrils of the corpse.

He didn't feel any snort. But the "corpse" suddenly spoke:

"Did you bring anything to eat?"

After speaking, the mouth was closed as before. The body is motionless. Tang Shan didn't even know if it was the corpse on the ground who was talking. Although he was bold and was not frightened just now, he was now distraught, and he couldn't hold it anymore, his body fell backwards, and the back of his head hit the wall, and immediately swollen up a big bag.

Tang Shan climbed out of the door with his hands and feet. Halfway through the climb, he suddenly stopped, and reason told him that it was not a corpse lying on the ground. The old man is not dead.

So he turned around and looked at the corpse that had just spoken. The old man was really not dead, but he was already dying, he hooked his fingers, raised his eyelids, and asked again weakly:

"Do you have anything to eat? I'm dying of hunger. ”

When Tang Shan heard this, he completely came back to his senses. He sat on the ground, with his back against the wall, patted his chest, let out a long breath, and complained to the old man:

"Damn, you're scared me to death."

The old man was stabbed in the chest by Chen Meng last night, and he was hit in the heart, but he was able to survive until now. It's not a miracle, it's that the situation looked serious, but in fact it was far from that bad.

The truth is that the knife was indeed aimed at his heart, but it was not that deep. Because the watermelon knife itself is not long, it pierced the body through the hole in the pot, and the power was partially dissipated by the small steel cannon opposite. Therefore, the position of the spine was accurate, but it only pierced the bone and did not hurt the heart.

Of course, this knife was quite painful for the old man, because it was stabbed on the old bone, and the so-called pain into the bone marrow probably meant this. The old man had lived to be sixty or seventy years old, and he had never experienced such great pain. So at that moment, he thought he had been pierced in the heart, and he slipped down the wall.

Even he thought he had been stabbed in the heart, let alone others. Everyone saw it, the watermelon knife stabbed him in the heart, everyone saw it, the blood squeezed out of his fingers, and everyone saw that the old man slipped down the wall with a dejected face. So, everyone thought that he was about to die.

No one doubted that this knife was too shallow, except for a little blood, coupled with intense pain, it would not be fatal at all. Including the old man himself, he thought that this time he would definitely die.

At that time, more than forty people present were stupid. In the brawls of the rivers and lakes, as long as they don't die or get seriously injured, the bosses can clean up the mess, and in the end they will always be quiet, as if nothing happened; Once someone is killed, no matter who can't cover it, the police will definitely intervene, and it is not as simple as one or two who will be severely punished.

Dozens of people were dumbfounded for a while, and the first to come back to their senses was Zhou Weiliang, who was dressed as Brother Xiaoma. He threw the cigarette from his mouth, ignored no one, turned around and drilled into the truck. When I got into the passenger seat, I found that the driver who could drive the truck was still in a daze. So he put his head out of the window, looked up to the sky and shouted:

"What are you doing standing stupidly? Run. ”

This shout woke everyone up. Needless to say, the gang from Dongcheng jumped into the truck within three seconds. The two cars stepped on the accelerator at the same time, and with a "whew", they suddenly ran away without a trace.

Brother Biao's subordinates are not slow. More than a dozen people squeezed each other, and finally all hung on five motorcycles, and disappeared in an instant. Poor little steel cannon and Shar Pei, who were beaten up so hard that they ran slower than others, barely hung half of their butts on the back of the motorcycle, and just after they got out of the gate, they fell to the ground due to the sudden acceleration of the motorcycle.

And the villain who drove the motorcycle, I don't know if he didn't notice that someone had fallen behind him, or deliberately ignored it, and didn't stop to wait at all. So, later, the little steel cannon and Sha Pei ran back breathlessly with scars all over their bodies. Fortunately, it was dark and no one saw it.

When the group had gone, the old man climbed into the house as best he could. He felt that death should also be died in bed, so that it looked decent. When I climbed into the house, I found that the bed, which was made of bricks and composite boards, had been torn apart. So, he had to lie down in the middle of the room and wait slowly for death.

Unexpectedly, the blood from the wound gradually coagulated, no longer seeping out, and the pain was gradually reduced. The old man knew from seventy years of life experience that this stab was very painful, but it did not reach the heart, and it would not be fatal.

Knowing this, he did not feel any joy, because the next thing to endure was more troublesome hunger. The bed is gone, the pot is broken, and there is no penny on the body; The point is that although the wound is not fatal, it bleeds excessively, and an aging body has no strength in itself, and now it is even more unable to move. If you want to climb out and find something to eat on your own, it can basically be said that it is more difficult than climbing to the sky.

Therefore, if the knife does not stab him to death, he will starve to death next. The left and right are death, and the current situation has prolonged the painful process of waiting for death.

Then the old man fell asleep in despair. Or maybe fainted. It feels pretty much the same anyway.

When he woke up again, the old man thought he had arrived in the underworld. When I opened my eyes, I was still in my dilapidated house, and everything around me was still the same as before I fainted. Moreover, he also heard footsteps. Then I saw a man enter the door.

To the old man's surprise, he saw that the person who came in was Tang Shan. This kid is still here after all. So, because he was so hungry, he didn't care about saying anything else, and the first thing he said when he opened his mouth was to ask Tangshan for food.

I didn't expect this sentence to scare the kid a lot.

After Tang Shan complained about the old man's frightening behavior, he calmed down a little and spread his hands:

"There's nothing to eat, I haven't eaten at noon."

After speaking, Tang Shan thought that he should help the old man up. He walked over and picked up the upper half of the old man's body and looked around, but there was no chair, no table, not even a bed. It doesn't seem to make much sense to lift people up like this, and it's clear that sitting is better than standing, and lying down is better than sitting. So he leveled the old man again, and put only two bricks on the back of his head.

Then, Tang Shan was not afraid, but he was at a loss, and he didn't know what to do, so he muttered and asked:

"How did you do this? What's the deal with the injury in the chest? You have to get to the hospital quickly. ”

Before the old man could answer, Tang Shan suddenly saw the watermelon knife that had fallen at the door, and the tip of the knife was still stained with blood. I couldn't help but be shocked:

"Damn, you killed yourself with a watermelon knife? Poking yourself in the heart? But it can't be pierced, and it didn't die? Could it be that you left a message asking me to come quickly, to collect your body? ”

The old man gasped and said:

"Don't talk nonsense, why do I kill myself if I have nothing to do? This knife was stabbed by someone else. ”

When Tang Shan heard this, he was even more shocked: "Who stabbed it?" It's Dongcheng Zhou Weiliang's person again? Then you should call the police and arrest those bastards. ”

The old man laughed weakly: "Don't be so indignant first. It's a long story, and my injury was an accident. There is no need to call the police, the hospital is not gone, the wound is not deep. You can get me something to eat first. ”

Tang Shan looked embarrassed: "It's in the wilderness here, I'll go to the city to find a way, I'm afraid it will take at least two hours to come and go, can you hold it?" ”

Old man: "Don't go to the city. It's too late. Look in the corner on the left, there should be an aluminum can, and half a bag of rice. You can use this jar to dig some rice, go to the wall outside the house, use two bricks, light a fire underneath, and cook rice in less than ten minutes. ”

Tang Shan asked blankly, "Is this okay?" ”

The old man was impatient: "Why not? Don't you even know how to cook? You young people really don't have the ability to survive in the wild. In addition, there should be a clay pot in the corner on the right, and if it is not smashed, there is enough mustard for two people to eat a meal. ”

Tang Shan was stunned for a moment, and the old man raised his voice and ordered:

"Act fast. Young people, don't be struggling. I'll have to tell you a long story after eating. ”

Make this virtue, and be in the mood to tell a story. Tang Shan thought that the other party was seriously injured and was talking nonsense, so he opened his mouth and didn't respond, so he really went to find rice to cook.
