Mystery

Chapter 12

The author has something to say: This account is only for handling

"Put me down." Wu Xie said to the fat man.

"Come on, naive, if you come down now, you probably will get down at all." The fat man said nothing to let him act alone.Indeed, although Wu Xie's injury healed surprisingly quickly, his mobility was much worse.

Xie Yuchen took out a slender long whip from his coat.This is something that Xie's family does not use until the moment of life and death. It is highly poisonous, and it is covered with a thin layer of iron.It's good to say, this long whip is coiled in a box, and even the box is no more than the thickness of a finger.

The fat man lit a torch and threw it over, and a few bones could be seen where the torch passed.The birdsong inside became noisy, getting closer...

Wu Xie also became nervous, and couldn't help asking the fat man, "Will my blood work on these things?"

"It's up to God." The fat man felt much more relaxed.He paused for a while, and said to Wu Xie, "You fat man, I wouldn't regret dying here."

Wu Xie knocked the fat man's head hard, and the fat man cried out in pain.If because of his own reasons, if the friend who was born and died really died here, even if he could go back alive, he would not feel at ease.

Xie Yuchen told them to stop making trouble.The big bird was already circling over their heads and started swooping down on them.The air seemed to be exploding, and the sound of airflow was endless in their ears.

These birds came directly at Wu Xie, Xie Yuchen swung his whip and hooked the big bird's legs, and pulled hard, the big bird was thrown directly onto the stone wall and let out a howl.

Xie Yuchen felt that when he exerted strength just now, the wound opened a little.He endured the pain and didn't say anything, letting Wu Xie and the others run forward under his cover as planned.It's a pity that the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. Fatty didn't expect that there were several times more big birds here than they had encountered before.This bird can stand nearly a person's height. They stand on the rocks, and their deep-set eyes make it impossible to see their aura as living beings.

The fat man spat, and said angrily in a low voice, "Damn...where did this bird come from..."

Wu Xie remained silent.He found a question, why don't these birds attack them now?Compared with Fatty's description, these birds are much "gentle".He didn't know if Zhang Qiling had ever been attacked, if so, it would be impossible to explain.

"Give me a discount." Wu Xie patted the fat man, but the fat man ignored him for a long time. "Fatty...fatty? Fatty!"

"Naive...you look carefully..." Fatty had the illusion that he was trembling, "in front of us..."

Wu Xie took out two or three fire pockets from the fat man, boldly tapped them and threw them forward, only to find that there were many spots of blood in front of them.Taking a closer look, those big birds also had patches of blood on their bodies.

Wu Xie broke out in a cold sweat.

Under the bright light of the fire, the extremely thin wires formed a huge crisscross net not far from them.Even if there is a lot of blood on it, it can't be seen at all without the light-robbing light.

"Hey, hey! Go hit the cobwebs on it!" The girl came back, yelling angrily.

All the anger and estrangement started because he held coals with his bare hands.

Baima's screams attracted no one but the girl.It is estimated that at that time, everyone was alienated from any place he stayed because of Zhang Qiling.

"Hey, you haven't told me yet," she said, sitting in front of the extinguished stove, "why didn't you get hurt?"

Zhang Qiling naturally wouldn't obey her.He sat silently on the other side, holding the knife of unknown origin and thinking carefully, wondering if he had seen this knife before.

"It's getting late," Baima's tone was still trembling, "Why don't you just find a guest room to rest for a while. There are too many facts that happened today..."

Zhang Qiling, who was ordered to leave the guest, could only go out alone.The maid on the plank road was like a sculpture, and it seemed that he hadn't moved since the first time he saw it.The dim candlelight could not suppress their pale cheeks, and their drooping and slightly closed eyes were devoid of thought.No one led the way for him, no one lifted another layer of door screen for him, just like Baima said, he could enter any guest room at will and fall asleep.Here it shows the intertwining of decline and glory, the contradiction between complexity and simplicity, and the unique charm of mystery.

Although it was night, Baima blew out several lights in the house.The healing of herbal medicine gradually made her have this kind of state of mind. She thought about Zhang Qiling who was like an unexpected guest once she forgot, as if she saw the shadow of every "him" in the Zhang family.

Zhang Qiling was lying on the bed, beside a big window.The rest habit of placing the bed in front of the big window like this was really rare at that time.He didn't know there were birds here, and he probably got lost after flying in.The long night was accompanied by crowing, like a relaxing sound he had ever heard.He couldn't help worrying about someone again, thinking about the undiminished dark red blood on his body.

He slowly noticed the problem, he couldn't bring himself to wake up from the dream.He knew that he was still inside the huge meteorite at this time, so he must have slept very restlessly.

It was already night, and Wu Xie also felt bored.

He was worried that he had fallen asleep, and everything in front of him was a dream.

But the pain still lingering in his body woke him up.

It's all true, true.

Zhang Qiling woke up very early, just in time to meet the maid who had placed an exquisite meal in his room.The maid said nothing, looked at nothing, moved nothing, just like him.Perhaps Zhang Qiling is not without curiosity, but rather has more indifference than doubts about this place.

He didn't know if eating in the illusion would give him a sense of fullness. The Zhang family had developed the ability to survive for a long time without eating, but he was still willing to give it a try.

"Old Zhang, are you there?" someone shouted outside.Zhang Qiling wasn't sure if he was looking for him, but the voice was indeed outside his door.

After a while, there was no movement inside or outside the house, so the man simply opened the door and walked in.Seeing him, Zhang Qiling was sure that the man was looking for him.

It's a black blind man.

Before Zhang Qiling saw Hei Xiazi, he had a bad feeling at the first sight, and at that time he did recall some things that Hei Xiazi did secretly, and he did not expect him to appear in the history of the Zhang family.His looks haven't changed, and there's absolutely no way the current scene is nearly 50 years old.

Who is he?

The black blind man hugged Zhang Qiling's shoulders affectionately when he came up, his eyes were covered with a layer of black veil, and the outline of his eyes could be seen slightly.The dark dragon pattern was faintly embroidered on the black gauze, which definitely violated the taboo on the ground, and he is probably the only one who is so bold.His clothes were also black, similar to those of the green clothes, but with complicated embroidery.

"It's better here," the blind man ate his meal, "the uprising has started outside again."

"Please don't touch our things and our guests." The maid on the side said, her voice was full of indifference.

"Guests?" Hei Xiazi looked at Zhang Qiling in front of him playfully, "Cut, they really are a group of people who have made trouble... It seems that you don't remember me, old Zhang?"

In fact, Zhang Qiling remembered it, but he couldn't say it.After this memory, the black blind man is probably deeply imprinted in his mind, even if he loses his memory many times, it will not be completely erased.Zhang Qiling still remembers how he "set fire" in the jade cave, and he still remembers that he used to lure out those things - Miluotuo.

He seemed to be fearless, and the arrogance and ruffianism on his body exaggerated some characteristics of his character.Wu Xie also privately said that Zhang Qiling also looks fearless, but the two feelings are completely different.

His appearance did not cause any alarm. It seemed that he had already been a frequent visitor of the Zhang family.Zhang Qiling has never heard of any earth-shattering events he has done in the history of the Zhang family, so it is estimated that there will be no serious problems in this special experience.

"I heard that this year's gathering will be moved forward. Is it because of you?" It seemed that the two of them knew each other very well before, and the black blind man was not polite to him at all.

"..." Zhang Qiling was puzzled.Heixia kept exaggerating the fact that he had become silent, and explained while talking: "It seems that this year will usher in a 'guest from afar' early."

For some reason, Zhang Qiling fought a cold war.This statement made him feel inexplicably familiar, and it also brought deep awe and disgust.

"You don't remember anything, it makes me feel like I'm playing the piano against a cow." He said it sarcastically, but it made people unable to get angry.The regret mixed in that habit also makes people sigh in their hearts.

"You are the master, it's time to get ready."

After saying this, the blind man left.For the next few days, Zhang Qiling didn't see him.

At this moment, Wu Xie was trying to figure out a way to get rid of the silk that was as sharp as a blade.

"This thing helps, the key is how we get there..." Wu Xie sat on the ground, his clothes soaked by the cold stagnant water.Xie Yuchen once took the risk of cutting off one thread directly, and the tightly stretched thread shrank instantly, almost hurting himself.And these silks are embedded in the stone, which seems impossible at all.

"It must have been set up not long ago," the fat man looked left and right, "it wasn't there when we came here."

Wu Xie squinted his eyes and looked up: "I counted, and there are about 20 hanging on it and they haven't broken... This thread is hard enough."

"We can't completely get rid of these yet," Xie Yuchen fiddled with the long whip in his hand, "If there are more strange birds inside, it will be like dying."

The further they get to this point, the slower their progress.It's the last moment, and no one wants to lose all previous efforts because of a wrong move.

"Speaking of which, how did these things get embedded in the stone?" Xie Yuchen knocked on the stone without making a hollow sound.

"Don't move..." After a while, Wu Xie looked at Xie Yuchen with a low voice.

"I think it's better to leave as soon as possible." Xie Yuchen picked up the torch leaning against the stone wall and jumped away, taking advantage of the opportunity to break the wire connected to that area.These threads seemed to be broken softly and weakly, without the strength just now.

"You two are desperate again?" the fat man yelled all the way, "If you really want your life, you can just sneak in."

The fat man ran over panting, and saw a few filaments lying obediently on the ground.Xie Yuchen stared at the stone wall with a long whip, and said slowly, "There is something in there."

At the place where the torches were placed, a large piece of the stone wall, which seemed flat just now, has bulged up, revealing a vaguely human-like silhouette.

"Hey, that's easy to explain," the fat man rolled up his tattered sleeves, "it's tricky."

Wu Xie looked around, and there was not much change in other places.

"I think this thing responds to light and heat," Wu Xie stood up, his legs still wobbly, "No wonder the blind man doesn't use a torch when he's alone in the crevice..."
