[Bottle Evil] Snowy Illusion

"Come on, you definitely didn't come to my backcountry to eat my meal."

Wu Xie heard a person's voice say this, he was very familiar with this voice, and it also made him feel at ease inexplicably.But he still couldn't speak.

Such a scene reminded him of when he went to another person for help ten years ago.He hesitated because the man never came back.

"It's really just to come to see you, and to see how the industry I invested in is developing." The tone was joking.

"Just pretend you're naive. I'll know something's up just by looking at you looking out of your mind."

"You think I'm here to ask you for help?"

"No, brother, I'm here to save your life."

This sentence made him give up his worries, and nodded with a smile.

Wu Xie woke up from a very shallow dream, and sat up slowly, with Fatty's voice still in his ears, which he hadn't heard for a long time.

Xie Yuchen arranged for a few people a warehouse that he sent to remodel, three cubicles, beds and toiletries are all available, Xie is the head of the house, and he is particular about wherever he goes, without ambiguity.

Zhang Qiling heard the noise and looked towards Wu Xie, but in the warehouse without a gleam of light, he could only locate it by the sound.

Wu Xie sighed softly, reached for the coat next to the pillow, and took out a cigarette case from it.

The cigarettes were collected from Zhang Haike when he was in Golmud. He had wanted to quit smoking for a long time. Since he went to Medog for the last time and smoked the last cigarette at a road rest stop, he planned for himself to quit smoking.The effect is not bad, so far I only smoked twice, because I was worried that Zhang Qiling would act alone, of course, it turned out that these two smokes were in vain.

Wu Xie emptied the cigarette case, and there was only one left. He thought about it for a while, and still held it to his mouth, but it didn't light up. He didn't have a lighter.

He can go out in the dark to find Xie Yuchen, which is very disturbing to the people, or he can bear it and not give himself this excuse.Just as it is impossible for worry to change anything that has happened, nicotine is unlikely to alleviate his worry at this time.

Beijing is the most meaningless but most necessary sacrifice in his plan, and this kind of sacrifice may happen to the few people he least wants to see.

Xiuxiu escaped from danger successfully and helped him rescue Li Cuo. The last news about Fatty and the mysterious blue-robed Tibetan came from Xiuxiu's message—the two disappeared in the sound of explosions.

Wu Xie never thought about what would happen if the fat man died, he felt that the fat man must still be alive.But he should have been here a month ago to join Xie Yuchen, but he was late and has not shown up so far.

Wu Xie knew that Zhang Qiling must be awake, so he asked into the darkness: "Brother, do you remember Fatty?"

"I remember." Zhang Qiling replied, as expected, he was still awake.

Wu Xie said: "He helped me deal with a group of people in Beijing before, but there was no news after that. Do you think he will die?"

Zhang Qiling seemed to have moved, there was a slight sound on the bed, and he was silent for a while: "Anyone will die."

"It's a person who will die, so I'm not afraid, brother."

At this time, on a train more than 100 kilometers away, in a crowded compartment, the fat man said to a little girl sitting opposite him.

The little girl traveled to Changbai Mountain with her friends. In the hard-seat carriage at midnight, the companions had already fallen asleep at the table.

"Just brag, I don't believe what you say." The little girl had youthful vigor in her eyes, and she was not sleepy at all. She was obviously very interested in the story told by the fat man.

The fat man pushed the food bag on the small table, put his elbow on it, and said, "If you don't believe me, I'll tell you that you don't want to sleep for a while? My brother will help you look after the bag, so you can rest assured."

The little girl glanced at her watch, and really yawned. She smiled slightly and said, "Aren't you going to sleep? You will fall asleep later, how can I trust you to look after my bag?"

The fat man leaned back and said, "It's wrong to be full of doubts about the world at a young age."

The little girl thought the fat man was very interesting, and she was satisfied after hearing the story. She leaned on the shoulder of the person next to her and closed her eyes.

"Dude, are you sure you don't want to talk about it?" The conductor pushing the trolley full of snacks said to the fat man with regret, "Then let me go."

The fat man looked up and saw that the conductor was a typical Northeast guy with a thick back and waist. The fat man said, "Do you two know each other? You look like a buddy of mine."

The conductor stared at the big eyes under the thick eyebrows, and said: "But other things, I heard from you that your buddies are not far from death!"

The fat man laughed and scolded: "You are not far from death!" The conductor also laughed and pushed the car away.The fat man turned his head to look at the dark night outside the car window. Outside was the wilderness, with no light at all.

He scratched his stomach, and the scar occasionally itched.

His eyes gradually adapted to the darkness, but he still couldn't see clearly. Xie Yuchen's warehouse was so well sealed that Wu Xie was a little worried that he would be suffocated to death before he woke up in the morning.

Wu Xie stuffed the cigarette back into the cigarette case, lay down again, and closed her eyes.He had to force himself to sleep, and he might not be able to sleep well for a long time.

The Zhang family has been trained even to sleep, similar to the bank's zero deposit and lump sum withdrawal. They usually have enough sleep, and they can last for many days without sleepiness when they are in the fight.Black Glasses also specially trained Wu Xie in this area, but the effect was not good at first, and it was often easy to insist on not sleeping, but it was difficult to sleep in the shortest time.

Things have developed to this point, there is nothing he can't bear, but Wu Xie still doesn't want to see sacrifices, especially those few people.

Wu Xie turned over, her mind still in a mess.Unexpectedly, he heard Zhang Qiling suddenly ask: "Can't sleep?"

Wu Xie turned back again, facing Zhang Qiling. In the darkness, he could feel Zhang Qiling's light and shallow breathing.

"You..." Wu Xie thought for a while, "I'm still a little worried." He didn't say what he was worried about. Zhang Qiling might think he was worried about Fatty, but he was also worried about whether Zhang Qiling would suddenly disappear again. They Whether this line will encounter any unexpected dangers.

Zhang Qiling didn't answer, they couldn't see each other's face clearly, but they were all looking in each other's direction.

"I'm sure." After a while, Zhang Qiling suddenly spoke again.In his usual indifferent tone, there was an indescribable sense of security.

And the next moment, Wu Xie felt a hand pat on his back.

Wu Xie smiled.Zhang Qiling did answer him, but he didn't say what he was sure about, whether it was about the safety of the fat man, or about the next trip into the mountain, or about the arrangements he might have made.

Wu Xie didn't ask any more, Zhang Qiling was trying to comfort him, hoping that he would sleep well.Although he was thinking in his heart how this would make people fall asleep, he was obviously a little excited, but Wu Xie still closed his eyes.

In a trance, there are still people talking in his head, and some incoherent and irrelevant and even childhood memory fragments flashed in his mind. After 10 minutes, Wu Xie entered a state of light sleep, but the things he had been worrying about would wake him up at any time .

It wasn't until Wu Xie vaguely heard some subtle sounds coming from beside him, and then felt slightly cool fingers rubbing and pressing the acupuncture points on his head with moderate force, that all the tensed muscles on his body stretched out.Gradually, all distracting thoughts sank below the surface of the frozen lake, leaving only a emptiness in his mind, and Wu Xie fell asleep soundly.

Zhang Qiling withdrew his hand and sighed softly.

The warehouse without windows couldn't let in the morning light, and the nerves that had been tense for a long time were suddenly relaxed. Wu Xie managed to sleep for twelve hours, and woke up at noon the next day.

Wu Xie put on her clothes and pushed the door out, only to hear the sound of conversation coming from the inner hall of the shop, which seemed very lively.

Walking a few steps to the front, Wu Xie pinched his eyebrows, everyone was looking at him, and a tall figure in his sight made him heave a sigh of relief.

"Damn it, you fucking woke up at last. When I came here, I saw you even fell asleep!" the fat man laughed.

Wu Xie raised his hand and wiped the corners of his mouth, seeing that this person was as lively as ever, he laughed.

A few people set off the next day, marching towards the vast snow-capped mountains, gradually getting farther and farther away, there are no more people in the field of vision, and there are continuous mountain peaks as far as they can be seen, and the sky and the earth are vast and boundless.

The top of the Sansheng Snow Mountain is still covered with white snow, and the light blue mist shrouds the mountains, making it look vague and indistinct. Looking at the past, one feels that one is under the sky, and people are as small as dust.

It was the first time for Li Cuo and Su Wan to see such a snow-capped mountain. With such a scene, the fatigue of several days disappeared instantly, and what came to their hearts was the sigh of the beautiful scenery.

Several people stopped in unison.

Wu Xie turned her head to see that Zhang Qiling was still fascinated by the snow-capped mountains in the distance as usual, but the sadness or attachment that once existed in his eyes had faded away.

In the past ten years, Zhang Qiling came here alone, opened the bronze door, opened a certain mechanism, and activated the hexagonal copper bell array to protect the secret deep in the Zhang family's ancient building.

The Zhang family is powerful because of this secret, and it is also coveted because of this secret, and it even declines because of this secret.Some eras have come to an end, and some destiny should also have an end.This is the first time for Zhang Jiaqiling to change reincarnation with others, and everyone hopes that this will be the last time.

Wu Xie walked to Zhang Qiling's side, and patted his shoulder with his hand.No one made a sound or moved a footstep, as if a silent and solemn ceremony was going on.

Until Fatty also walked behind the two of them, he put his arm around one, and expressed his feelings towards the snow mountain: "Fatty really wants to write a poem!"

Wu Xie snorted and said, "Just look at the Great Wall and shout 'Ah! The Great Wall! It's so fucking long!' At this level, what kind of poems can you write!"

The fat man turned his head and glared at Wu Xie, Wu Xie deliberately continued to shout: "Ah! Snow Mountain, so fucking white!"

"Fuck you! Your mouth is poorer than the fat man now!" The fat man spat and laughed.Then he coughed twice, with a very solemn face, and his voice was thick, up and down, and chanted: "Death and life are broad——"

Wu Xie choked and interrupted: "Don't be a fucking disgusting person!"

The fat man turned a deaf ear and continued to chant: "You two make it!"

The black glasses laughed out loud. Li Cuo and Su Wan, who were still in a daze, were shocked by the laughter. Then, seeing Wu Xie trying to get rid of the fat man's embrace, there was a gentle smile on Zhang Qiling's side face. It was a shock.

Several days of walking in the snow-capped mountains exhausted the body, especially Li Cuo and Su Wan. Although they were young and healthy, they did not receive years of training like the other four. It was still too difficult for them. .Almost every day, I was waiting for Wu Xie to call "Set up the camp" with a tent, retract it and fall asleep.

It is not the coldest time in Changbai Mountains yet, and the snow on the mountains is still the snow of previous years, but the temperature is low and has not melted.If there is a real heavy snowfall, it will definitely be life-threatening.But even in this mildest month of the year, the windy nights and freezing cold are hard to bear.

The equipment provided by Xie Yuchen was the best. A tent and a sleeping bag miraculously cut off the howling wind outside at night. Li Cu wrapped the sleeping bag tightly, and only this moment of the day was the most relaxing.

I heard that Xie Yuchen threw away the seal of the Xie family, and the assets estimated at nearly 300 billion became dead debts and were sealed in the bank forever.Li Cu had no concept of this number at all, it was completely beyond his cognition. He only knew that Xie Yuchen must be ruined this time.But one day when chatting with Wu Xie, he told him that Xie Yuchen was washing clothes one day, found a card in his trousers pocket, and checked the balance casually, so he would not have to worry about it for the rest of his life.I don't know if what Wu Xie said is true or not, but it inexplicably aroused Li Cu's hatred of the rich.

But fate is always miraculous, and now Li Cu doesn't envy Xie Yuchen, maybe because he learned about Xie Yuchen's difficulties from Wu Xie and Huo Xiuxiu, maybe because he has a new understanding of his own life.But this night, Li Cu suffered from insomnia for the first time.

Li Cu had a hunch that their trip was not far from Wu Xie's destination, and there was an inexplicable irritability and anxiety in his heart, not nervousness or fear, but a kind of uneasiness in his subconscious.

Boys at the age of seventeen or eighteen need a kind of recognition and affirmation from others and from themselves.For a long time, no one in the family, school, or around him has given him this kind of recognition.On ordinary boys, it may be at most skipping classes, fighting and rebellious.But Li Cu is different. He longs for a change in his life, but at the same time is afraid of it. A complex ambivalence makes him follow in Wu Xie's footsteps.

However, whether Wu Xie gives him a choice or obeys his wishes, the essential inequality or gap between the two cannot be eliminated and healed at all.The difference is called experience from the source.

But this time, Li Cuo wanted to accomplish something with his own will, it had nothing to do with Wu Xie's plan, and he didn't even have a clear goal. He just wanted to prove it to himself once.

He didn't tell anyone about these thoughts, including Su Wan, let alone Wu Xie, although Wu Xie might give him a clear way, because they still have some similarities in their bones.But Li Cu still couldn't express it, maybe it wasn't a formed idea in his own mind, but just a kind of persistence.

"Are you awake?" Li Cuo asked.

Next to it was Su Wan's sleeping bag. Su Wan was also wrapped like a rice dumpling, with only his nose and mouth exposed, and he didn't respond for a long time. Unwilling to give up, Li Cu stretched out his hand to pinch Su Wan's nose.

Finally unable to resist Li Cu's harassment, Su Wan snorted and asked angrily, "Yali, you fucking want to murder me while you're sleeping!"

Li Cu first smiled embarrassedly, and then said: "I found that you have a big heart, and you fell asleep so quickly. Do you know where we are going? It is very dangerous by visual inspection."

Su Wan rubbed his nose in dissatisfaction, and said, "It's already here, why go down the mountain now? Then I'd rather follow them."

Li Cu was because of his own "persistence", and suddenly he became curious about what Su Wan was for, so he asked, "Why do you have to follow, let alone to accompany me, buddy."

Su Wan really thought about it for a while, and said: "I am idle at home, and I am idle, and it is interesting to be with you!"

"Damn it." Li Cu scolded, "You don't take your own life seriously, do you know where Wu Xie is going!"

Su Wan answered easily: "Isn't it the bronze door? I'm also curious. What do you think is behind that?"

"There are ghosts who eat you!" Li Cu found that Su Wan seemed to be out of shape at all, and his level was too far behind his own deliberation.But I also feel very uncomfortable, I know that there are tigers in the mountain and I prefer to go to the tiger mountain with awe-inspiring righteousness, but when I come to Su Wan, it seems that I made the decision very casually.

"Actually, I really didn't think about it that much." Su Wan sighed slowly, and said in a deeply worried tone, "But I'm really worried about you and my master."

Li Cu was taken aback and asked, "Are you worried?"

Su Wan hummed and said, "You are my best buddy, and you were taken into danger by a Boss Wu who got sick from time to time. How could I stand by and watch? As for my master, he saved my life in the desert." , and taught me a lot of things, I don't want to be called a little white-eyed wolf."

Li Cuoxin said that I really wasn't taken captive, your master saved you for the sake of saving yourself.But it was indeed a little moved, and he said, "I can't see it, why do I think you are very enlightened and have a very noble character now!"

Su Wan smiled and said, "It's just so-so, haha." Still in a very humble tone.

Li Cu let out a "cut", and suddenly thought that ten years ago, Wu Xie came here with Zhang Qiling all the way, and almost killed him, and why? Is it really like Su Wan said that he was worried about his buddies? ?He doesn't understand.

Li Cu has been living very selfishly. The environment in which he lived did not give him much attention. He didn't have extra thoughts to pay attention to others other than himself, but Su Wan was different. In retrospect, since Wu Xie approached him at the very beginning, Su Wan He has been by his side all the time. Although he has nothing to do with him, Su Wan is really quite a buddy.

Li Cu said: "Then tell me why Boss Wu is here to make a fuss?"

Su Wan didn't even think about it: "For Brother Zhang! Think about it, the group of people who were against Boss Wu have already been dealt with by him, so it shouldn't be for the sake of cleaning them up. Originally, Brother Zhang has been sleeping behind the bronze door , I can come out by myself at some point, but Boss Wu took him out first after a lot of effort, and now he goes in with him, there must be a problem."

When Su Wan said this, Li Cuo suddenly felt that it made sense, so he asked, "Did your master tell you?"

Su Wan sighed and said, "Master said he doesn't care about their affairs."

"Then why is your master still following?"

"Maybe it's because of the money? Repaying favors? I haven't asked. Master, an old man, has his own reasons." Su Wan said.

Li Cu fell into thinking. He had been led away passively before, but after experiencing more and knowing more about Wu Xie's plan, he had vaguely deduced that Wu Xie had asked Zhang Haike to pick up Zhang Qiling in advance. It was to stop him from doing something, and now it was to do it with him.He doesn't know exactly what this matter is, but what is certain is that there is a high risk, even life-threatening.

The information in my mind is like countless thread ends. I don't know where to start to straighten it out. It doesn't take long to grab any one. I still have to find the most critical one.Thinking about it, Li Cu suddenly remembered something that has always puzzled him, and said: "Have you noticed that Boss Wu and Brother Zhang look very young, but in fact, they should be quite old."

Su Wan thought for a while, then suddenly choked out and sang: "Because of love, how can there be vicissitudes." Then it changed into a low voice, "So they all look young."

Li Cu rolled his eyes, and said, "Then what about your master, didn't you say that he is also very old?"

Su Wan smiled and said, "My master is well maintained."

Hearing that Li Cu was silent for a long time, Su Wan said, "You're so curious, why don't you just ask the boss?"

Li Cu closed his eyes and snorted: "Every time he asks something, he always looks very impatient, and what he said may not be the truth." Li Cu still couldn't figure it out, although this time he came to the door by himself. Yes, Wu Xie was letting himself go too much. If what he was going to do was really dangerous, he and Su Wan would definitely not be able to help, but would be a hindrance, so why bring the two of them along?

The only possibility is that they will encounter that kind of snake again, and this is the only place where they can be used.

Thinking of the pain of being tortured by the snake venom, Li Cu shuddered, he didn't want to think Wu Xie was so sinister and ruthless.If he had been treated as a translation machine from the beginning, Wu Xie could have adopted more simple and crude methods without spending so much effort and even earnestly seeking his own opinion.

Confusion about Wu Xie's experience, confusion about Zhang Qiling's fate, and confusion about his own position and value are all stuck in his heart at this time. Li Cu is eager to know the truth and also eager to prove something.And he also knew that there would be an answer to all this in the next few days.

The wind is still raging, and the sound of the wind echoes between the mountains. Under this snowy area, there is a secret that spans thousands of years, but the wind traveling on the ground cannot tell it to anyone.

Both Su Wan and Li Cu fell asleep in the sound of the wind.

The black glasses were wrapped in a sleeping bag, and the mouth of the sleeping bag was shrunk very small. After thinking about it, he still didn't take off the sunglasses.Dai is used to it, and he has a wonderful sense of security. Of course, he does not lack this, because he never expected to have it.

Wu Xie came out of the tent, carrying a modified lantern, and sat next to Zhang Qiling who was on guard at night. Zhang Qiling glanced at him and said nothing.

Together, the two looked at the layers of mountain shadows in the distant night and the galaxy above the mountain peaks.

The fat man's snoring made a long sound and then stopped, but the sound of the wind also happened to stop, as if the world and the earth were quiet at the same time, and the stars and stars moved, it was an unchanging majesty.
