Ahh

With this exclamation, Xu Che finally broke free from the nightmare.

But as soon as he opened his eyes, he felt that the world was spinning, and it was very difficult for him to breathe, so he had to close his eyes again, and gasped for breath, his heart was still beating wildly, sweat was pouring like rain, and the whole person was almost on the verge of collapse.

In his dreams, he had been falling rapidly in the abyss, tormented by weightlessness and fear, endlessly, exhausting him.

Fortunately, after a short moment of respite, he gradually sobered up and his body gradually returned to normal. He opened his eyes again, but what he saw at this moment stunned him, and it took him a long time to react, and he finally believed that he was indeed lying on the same bed.

"Where am I, is it the Netherworld?" he muttered to himself, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, relieved himself, and thought, "Could it be that Lord Yama thinks that I am not a bad person in my life, so he specially rewarded me with a single room to live alone?"

After a moment of thought, he slowly sat up, looked around, and carefully surveyed his surroundings.

This is a three-zhang square room, with four walls except for one door and one window, and the rest of the walls are made into bookshelves, and there are books from top to bottom.

Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but wonder: "Huh, could it be that Lord Yama wants me to be a book ghost, or does he want me to be a book guard?"

He was in his own zeal when a ray of light entered through the window and hit his face unobtrusively.

He raised his hand and touched his cheeks, only to feel that this beam of light was warm and very comfortable, and when he turned his eyes to look out of the window, he saw an indescribable sky erected not far from the window, and at this time, the westward sun also happened to jump out of a white cloud, and the light was sprinkled, and it was immediately cut into a beam of light by the gap between the leaves, shining on his face and body. His heart was shocked, and he shouted happily: "How can there be sunshine in the underworld! I'm not dead, I'm still alive!"

Just as he was cheering and rejoicing, the door of the house was suddenly pushed open with a "creak", and then he saw a lame middle-aged man limping in with a cane.

Xu Che was startled when he heard the movement, and hurriedly turned his head to look, but saw that the person who came was more than six feet long, estimated to be fifty miles away, and had a Chinese face, with a high nose and wide mouth, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his appearance was very great;

Xu Che looked at the big man in front of him, and couldn't help but feel sorry for him, and he didn't even have time to think about anything else, so he felt sorry for the big man in his heart: "How can such a heroic man be lame? Alas, the beauty is flawed, it's a pity, I don't know if he was born with a disability, or if it was caused by his death." ”

And when the big man saw that Xu Che was just staring at his crippled left leg, his eyes sank at the moment, and he snorted heavily.

Xu Che was also woken up by this cold snort, guessing that most of the people in front of him were the benefactors who saved his life, so he hurriedly got out of bed, took two steps forward barefoot, bent his knees, and immediately knelt on the ground, saying: "Engong is above, please accept the villain's worship! Thank you for saving your life!" After speaking, he kowtowed three times in a row.

The middle-aged man ignored his actions, walked straight up to him, and asked in a deep voice, "What's your name?"

When Xu Che first heard this, he felt that the voice was really rough and sharp, as if he had broken his throat, but he didn't dare to think about it, so he replied respectfully: "The villain's name is Xu Che, and he is from Yunnan..."

Unexpectedly, before the big man could finish speaking, he interrupted sharply: "No! Why aren't you surnamed Lin? Are you deliberately deceiving me?"

Xu Che only felt confused, hurriedly raised his head, and said in fear: "The villain inherited his father's surname, and he did not deceive his father!"

The big man's face suddenly showed a look of surprise and uncertainty, and only after a while did he mutter, "It's really strange, but how can the two of you look so similar?"

Xu Che asked cautiously, "Engong is saying that the villain's appearance is similar to others?"

The big man turned his gaze back to Xu Che's face again, but instead of answering, he asked again, "How did you get here?"

Xu Che said: "The villain originally accompanied a friend to visit relatives in Gusu, but unexpectedly encountered a gangster robbery on the road, and then in order to avoid being chased by gangsters..."

The big man's face changed slightly, and he interrupted in a deep voice: "Why are you talking about so many irrelevant things? I just ask you how you got here!"

Seeing that his face was displeased, Xu Che immediately shrank in fear, and hurriedly said: "The villain stumbled in a cave and fell into a deep pit before, and when he fell, the villain was so frightened that he fainted, so I don't know how he got here." ”

The big man looked at Xu Che with heavy eyebrows, slowly walked to the table and sat down, and asked, "Did you take the fork on the right?"

Xu Che exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly said, "Ah, how could Engong know?"

The big man bowed slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "Tell me what happened before you fell into the pit." After speaking, he raised his cane and pointed to the bed, and said, "You sit down." ”

Xu Che bowed again and thanked him, then got up and sat on the bed, and then told Dahan what happened to the caravan.

After listening to this, the big man was quite appreciative of Xu Che's choice in the deep pit, and he did not hesitate to praise: "You have the righteousness to sacrifice your life, but it is rare, the boy surnamed Mu is good..."

Xu Che saw that his expression was changing, so he asked, "Is Engong talking to me?"

The big man suddenly raised his eyes to look at Xu Che, and asked urgently, "What is the name of the Mu boy's father, do you know?"

Xu Che hurriedly replied: "I know, his father's name is Mu Beiting, and he is now running a tea shop in Kunming City, and the villain is a guy in his tea shop..."

As soon as these words came out, I saw that the big man's expression became more and more excited, and he suddenly stretched out his hand and patted his lame leg, laughing loudly, laughing and laughing, and his face gradually became distracted and lonely.

Seeing this, Xu Che's heart was also shocked, but he didn't dare to confirm the conjecture in his heart, so he asked in a low voice: "Could it be that Engong and Uncle Mu are acquainted?"

The big man seemed to subconsciously nodded, and only said after a while: "It's not just acquaintance, Mu Beiting and I are life and death brothers who have had eight worships, I am a little older and I am an elder brother, he is a younger brother..."

As he spoke, his eyes suddenly turned red, as if he wanted to cry, but he raised his head, and finally held back, but sighed faintly: "I didn't expect it! God is pitiful! I can still hear the news of the old man in my life..."
