Thousand Lantern Night

I didn't know how long I followed Poker Bottle, but before I was almost stunned by the leaves, he finally stopped.

Because of the strong vegetation in this forest, the soil is very moist.The place where the stuffy oil bottle stops is relatively drier and more open.But I took a closer look, and it turns out that the plants around this piece of land have been cut off, and the woody branches are used to superimpose the ground, which is equivalent to laying a simple floor, and then laying thick branches, leaves and grass Vine and the like.

Porky Bottle should settle down here, this place looks like a camp.A tent was set up with a wooden support for cooking, and a pile of charred wood ash was left in the place where the fire was fired.The ashes are very thick, which shows that Poker Bottle should have been squatting here for a long time.

After arriving at the camp, Poyouping put the bronze pot in the tent and lit a fire. He sat in front of the fire and began to doze off.This is almost the same as when I first met him.But it feels different.He didn't say anything like "Don't follow me" to me again, but he didn't answer me either, treating me like nothing.But when I first met him, although he was dozing off all the time, I expressed curiosity about him several times. When I stared at him, I always saw him open his eyes casually and give me a faint look.At least back then, he seemed to care about me.

I gritted my teeth secretly, thinking that I have followed here, and if I don't solve the problem, will I break up with hatred?

"Hey brother, why did you come here alone without saying a word? It's not easy to find you, you have to meet by chance." I didn't even put my backpack on, so I sat next to him in front of the fire, Smile and talk to him.

Poker bottle didn't move or speak, with a neither sad nor happy attitude.

I scratched my head, feeling a little depressed.There was really nothing he could do about his impeccable appearance.I thought it would be great if Fatty was here, we could at least pry open the mouth of the bottle of stuffy oil when we sing together.But when I think of the fat man, I feel uncomfortable again.I'm also worthless, even the fat man is like that, and I still want to rely on him.When can I change this little daughter-in-law's temper.

There was nothing I could do, but it was too embarrassing to be silent, so I had to continue singing the one-man show.

"Brother, what exactly did you know in that reincarnation heaven? You tell me, and I will know how to help you."

"Brother, didn't we agree, don't run away alone. I will worry about you."

"Brother, you promised that no matter what happens, you will always be by my side. What you said doesn't count?"

"Hey brother, you said that we can go back to Hangzhou after this matter is over? If the ghost seal is still there, then sell it. You don't have to worry about buying a few more houses. At that time, I will enroll you in a school. Well, if you want to go abroad to study, it’s fine, the school is good, there are many girls and boys!"

"Brother, what are you doing here? You know the whereabouts of the third ring, right? Then you have to take me with you, and you won't be able to get it off by yourself."

"Brother, can you say something?"

I was stupid and babbled endlessly, but Poker-Face was still as virtuous, turned a deaf ear to nothing, and didn't even look at me.I talked until my mouth was dry, and I said in my heart that if you don't want to talk, you can just fart, and I will take you as an answer.Like this, it's too difficult.If you want me to be an innocent dick who has never even chased after a girl, I will deal with you as a cold and arrogant male god as soon as I get started, isn't it too embarrassing for me?

I turned around and found the kettle where the oil bottle was placed, took a few sips of water, and turned back to continue the mental work.In the end, it turned out that Poker-Face had changed places and sat next to the tent.I could tell that not only did he not want to talk to me, he simply avoided me.Thinking of him pointing at me with black gold and looking at me with that kind of indifferent eyes, my spirit of these days welled up.No matter how good-tempered he is, he should explode.

I walked over and knelt on the ground on one knee, and grabbed Poker Face by one arm.Holding back his anger, he asked him: "Zhang Qiling, in your eyes, am I so fucking cheap? Ever since I met you, I've been chasing you all day long, and I'm still the fucking one who got fucked with you. What is it? When we first met, you were the one who teased me! If you like this impotence tone, why are you teasing me?"

Poker-Face finally reacted, he opened his eyes suddenly and looked directly into my eyes.I don't know how to describe his eyes, the extremely rare sharpness burst out from his eyes, piercing my chest like a knife.

When he looks at me like this, there are roughly two results.One is that he pounced on me to hold me down, and then gave me a shot regardless of my life or death.The other is to directly give me a big mouth, and press my head into the dirt.

I looked at him defiantly.I want to see what he will do to me.

Unexpectedly, Poker-Face just looked at me like this for about ten seconds, then lowered his head and closed his eyes again.Then he said lightly, "I'm sorry."

I was completely stunned.I don't know what to do with him anymore.But soon my rationality finally couldn't suppress my anger, and I punched him hard. "I'm sorry, uncle! You fucking like to pretend to be a saint. I don't believe there are any problems that can't be solved, but you should speak up!"

In fact, with my skill, I can't hurt Poker Bottle at all, as long as his two fingers lightly move together, he can stop my movement.But he did nothing.He neither hid nor took any protective measures, and was punched by me impartially.The corner of his mouth was pierced and blood was oozing.He just wiped the back of his hand, stood up with one hand and wanted to walk away.

I kept kneeling, reached out and grabbed his wrist, and said exhaustedly, "Zhang Qiling, please. Tell me what happened to you?"

Poker Bottle froze for a moment.Just stood there, motionless.After a while, I pushed my hand away with the other hand.He walked to the fire, stooped to pick up the black gold, pushed aside the branches and walked out according to the way he came from.Only one sentence was left for me: "There is food in the tent." It was so strange as if I was just a fellow traveler.

I was still kneeling, looking dejectedly at the place where he had just sat, not knowing what mood I was in.A feeling of powerlessness and loss was like a surging tide, and one wave killed me.

This is more indescribably desolate than the despair that I could not persuade him to return after climbing several snow-capped mountains before he entered the bronze gate.It's just that you think that the manipulation of fate is enough, but you never think that you will never be able to reach the word "best".If Poker-Face still has this attitude until now, if in the end, as Xiaohua said, he will lose Poker-Face forever, then what is the point of all I have done, risking my life to death?

I walked numbly back to the fire and sat down again.I just feel that all the strength in my body has been sucked away, and I am extremely frustrated.He simply lay down on his back and looked up at the night sky.Looking at the lifeless branches above the head, alas, it would be better to hang the southeast branch yourself if you encounter such a kind of poker bottle.save trouble.

But no.I can't because I just fell in love with him among ten thousand people, and then he also happened to fall in love with me, and we messed up in a daze, and had some relationship that shouldn't happen, I have to be like a resentful woman, Ask him to be responsible to me.Originally, in matters such as feelings, you love me and I wish, and it's not who owes someone.

After losing my temper, I started to blame myself a little bit again.What about the agreement not to add burden to Poker?Sometimes it is also a choice to continue a certain relationship. For example, if you feel that it is too tiring to accommodate the other party in everything, and the partner is always indifferent, then you can choose to quit and no longer play the role of self-sacrifice.But if you can't let go, can't let go, and want to tear yourself apart in this relationship, that's your own decision, don't complain to anyone, it's your own business to know the hot and the cold.And don't have to ask the object to do something just because you can't do without it, that's asking for unhappiness.

That's why I'm in the state I'm in now.

Why can't I let go of the stuffy oil bottle?

Stuffy oil bottle has always been this attitude.It's me who can't let go of him.I want to let him go early and let him go when he went to Changbai Mountain that year, so why are there so many things today.How can I complain about myself here today, as if I have suffered a lot from the oil bottle.

Well.Brace yourself.

I sat up, went to the tent to dig out food, and there was only one serving of heated rice left.Several packets of compressed biscuits.I really didn't have any appetite, so I boiled some boiling water on the wooden rack, and when Boyouping came back, I helped him heat up the rice and he was ready to eat.

Poker bottle never came back, I waited and fell asleep.I don't know how long it took, when I heard the sound of stepping on a branch, I stood up vigilantly, and saw that Poker Bottle had returned.He was soaked all over, took off all his clothes, and stood beside the fire to warm himself.Poker bottle sat by the fire, crossed his legs and held Hei Jin in his hand, staring at it motionless.He was still expressionless, but from my point of view, he seemed very depressed, even a little sad.

When I saw him like this, my heart seemed to be paralyzed. I couldn't care less about his life or death. It was a shame.I poured boiling water into the bottom box of the rice, put the limestone bag in it, closed the lid and heated the rice and vegetable bag neatly.I spread the disassembled vegetable package on the rice, piled it into a rice bowl, and handed it to Poker Bottle.

Poker Bottle didn't say anything, and started to eat silently after taking it.

I sat down next to him, added some firewood to the fire, squeezed a wry smile and said, "Brother, the two of us—if you feel that the previous relationship is unacceptable, and you regret it, it doesn't matter. If you go back to the simple Your friendship will make you feel more comfortable, then let's get along as ordinary friends from now on."

Poker bottle held up the chopsticks and slowly put them down on the lunch box, with his head down and motionless.I saw him frown, but he quickly regained his composure. "what ever."

He finally gave me a definite answer.I laughed "haha" and said: "Originally, the two old men always look like that, and it's not suitable, do you think? Then what—" I choked in disbelief, my throat It's uncomfortable.I had to cough twice in embarrassment, and then I couldn't speak anymore.

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet, a little cold.There seems to be no further discussion on this topic.Poker bottle ate in silence, also a little fussy, his eyes kept looking at the fire, his whole body seemed to be out of his soul.

I want to hang the southeast branch again.

After a while, I started to say something, "Brother, what are you going to do with that copper pot? That one is also bronze. Is there any mystery?"

Porky Bottle finally responded to my words. "That is the Jiuli Pot, which is the artifact of Chi You, the leader of the Jiuli tribe in Miaojiang in the age of ancient legends."

Chiyou?The legendary Chi You, with a ghost face and a beast body, is the god of war of the Dongyi Jiuli tribe.Later, it was destroyed by Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor.I remembered that this content was recorded on the few pieces of diary paper that disappeared.

Poker-Face continued: "Xuanyuan once fought against Chi You. Legend has it that they fought for status. In fact, it was because Chi You got a magical object with great power, so they were invincible. Xuanyuan's aim is to prevent future troubles."

"A fetish with great power?" I suddenly realized, "Is it the ghost face ring?"

"That's right. The Xuanyuan clan defeated Chi You, but they didn't find that fetish on Chi You."

"I understand. So, that ring was hidden by Chi You. Is it in his clan? That is, the center of Miaojiang, the Jiuli clan?"

The oil bottle nodded.

I suddenly regained my spirits. "So you have been squatting here, is the Jiuli tribe nearby? What are you waiting for, go there quickly!"

The stuffy oil bottle shook his head.Reaching into his coat pocket, he took a note and handed it to me.I took it over and took a look, and it said "Jiuli clan in the hinterland of Miaojiang, haunted and haunted, and stored in Tallinn."

I wondered: "Where is Tallinn? Don't we have to go there?"

Poker bottle said: "Wait."

I said "Oh", "Then I'll wait with you. Anyway, little brother, we'll get the ghost face ring soon."

Poker bottle lowered his head again, and said coldly, "What I'm looking for is different from yours."
