Douyazai pocketed his pants and said, "So you can speak. If you hadn't spoken, I would have thought you were mute."
I walked around Dou Sprout, squatted down and looked at this person and asked.
"I'm going to ask a few questions. If you answer them truthfully, you'll suffer less. Do you understand?"
After seeing the man nodding, I asked: "Did you dig up Ma Deming's body? Did you place the inverted triangle of human bones to scare people? When the Hute people and I went to Blackwater City, we encountered a pack of wolves, right?
You hired me, and what’s your name?”
"Say it!"
Dou Sprout cursed: "I still have Mo Ji here. I drank too much water yesterday! Pee in your mouth!"
"No. Goodbye."
He nodded and admitted that it was all his fault, saying that the reason was because we stole things that belonged to Harahhot.
I instantly thought of the dry well, the bluestone slab, and the Ashoka Pagoda...??.
That's right.
We sold Ashoka Tower and the money was fully divided. There was also the previous encounter with wolves. Uncle Hulu felt strange at the time and said that we should not encounter wolves here in this season. Now it seems that they are all like this person.
The devil in the dark
After the man finished explaining, he slowly turned his head.
He looked at me and suddenly smiled. There was blood and urine on this man's face, and his smile looked vicious and resentful.
"You're still fucking laughing!" Douyazai scolded as he stepped on his head hard with his foot.
"I saw"
I don’t know if he lost too much blood and was unconscious. This man looked sideways at the sky, his eyes narrowed to a slit, and murmured to himself: "I saw it. My ancestors came to pick me up on horseback. I, Hua
Xiu Weizang has not lost the glory of the Dangxiang clan."
I listened to him talking to himself and frowned.
"Is this man called Hua Xiu Weizang?"
"Is this person a descendant of the Dangxiang people?"
"It's the millennium now, and more than seven hundred years have passed. Are there really any party members with pure blood left?"
After being shocked, I began to think about the credibility of this person's words.
When Genghis Khan massacred the city and besieged and killed 400,000 party members, if any party members took advantage of it, According to the actual situation at the time, there should be only three escape routes.
The first is to flee westward to the Qilian Mountains. After crossing the Qilian Mountains, you will reach Qilian County, the northernmost part of Qinghai. There is a mountain in Qilian County called "Dorjehua". According to local literature, it is said that they are a group of indigenous people with braided hairstyles.
The name was given by someone, so some people speculated that this group of foreign natives were the escaped party members.
The second is to flee to the southwest. After crossing the Minjiang River, they entered the Qiang living area on the western plateau of Sichuan and merged into the Qiang people.
The last route was to go south through the Qingnan Prairie and settle in the western area of Kangding.
In addition, the Dangxiang people do have the name "Hua Xiu". In addition, there are also the Yehe family, the Jiaxiu family, the Wuzang family, the Dahexiu family, etc.
I took a deep breath subconsciously,
It's really possible that this person is a descendant of the Dangxiang people
I know why he stabbed Xiaoxuan and why he unleashed wolves and dogs to kill us. It was because Baotou and I dug up things in Heishui City, which was equivalent to digging up the ancestral graves of their party members.
I closed my eyes and thought about it.
After opening my eyes, I said to Dou Sprout: "Don't kill him, just leave him here to fend for himself."
"ah?"
"That won't work. Fengzi and I promised Xiaoxuan back then that if we met this kid, I would kill him to avenge Xiaoxuan. If you don't dare to do it, then I will," Dou Yazai said and took out a knife.
.
I shook my head: "If Xiaoxuan dies, I will definitely kill him. The reason why Xiaoxuan survived the catastrophe is that we provoked him first. Leaving him here to fend for himself is the best choice."
"no."
"I don't agree," Dou Yazai said with rare force: "How about we both stop arguing and call Xiaoxuan over and let her figure it out on her own?"
I nodded, turned around and told Xiaomi to run over and bring Xiaoxuan over.
After one hour.
Xiaoxuan saw the long-haired face clearly, and her body couldn't stop shaking. She didn't know whether it was because of anger or fear.
I gave the choice to Xiaoxuan.
I thought Xiaoxuan would be soft-hearted, but I never thought I was wrong.
She snatched Dou Sprout Zai's knife and stabbed the man in the neck without saying a word. Blood spurted out a lot, which made my eyelids jump.
The man coughed up blood and said before he died: "Qiyuelu will avenge me, Dangxiang. The thousands of heroic souls of Dangxiang curse you, curse. Curse you in this life."
Before he finished speaking, the man closed his eyes with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.
died.
Xiaoxuan's face turned pale, her chest was panting uncontrollably, and the knife in her hand was still stained with blood.
"Stop looking." I stood in front of the corpse and asked Xiaomi to help her back.
Douyazai spat on the corpse's head, saying it was deserved, and then clapped his hands and chased Xiaoxuan.
Xiaomi didn't know what he said to Hongyan, and Hongyan followed Xiaomi back to the camp, leaving me alone next to the body.
He said something before he died.
"July Climbing will avenge me."
I don't know what July Climbing is, but if it is a personal name, it must be a descendant of other Dangxiang people.
I can't say that Xiaoxuan did anything wrong because she is the victim.
It's not that I'm afraid of trouble, but I know that if there are other descendants of party members, then the two sides have already formed a deadlock, and they will never stop fighting and can never be reconciled.
I just stood in front of the corpse and looked at it for more than ten minutes.
It was still late at night, and the moonlight in Tengger was exceptionally bright tonight, so bright that you could clearly see every plant and tree on the ground without turning on a flashlight.
The moonlight shone into the sand pit, and blood was still dripping from the corners of the corpse's mouth. Just as I was turning around to leave, I suddenly made a shocking discovery.
I found this man, a descendant of the Dangxiang people who called himself Hua Xiu Weizang, and the blood from the corner of his mouth fell to the ground drop by drop.
It happened inadvertently a shape.
It is an inverted triangle.
It’s exactly the same as the inverted triangle made with human bones before!
Seeing this man tilting his head and closing his eyes, I remembered what he had just said before he died.
"Thousands of heroic souls in the party will curse you and curse you."
I turned around and left. At the same time, I kept comforting myself, saying that everything was just a coincidence. Don't take it to heart. If you are afraid, you will lose.
(Now that so many years have passed, I still wonder, what did that Dangxiang descendant curse me for? Does such a thing really exist in the dark? I have many friends, but they are all fair-weather friends. After I have passed the age, I often feel
Loneliness, at that moment, I didn’t know why I was living. Maybe the inverted triangle of the Dangxiang people was really a curse. It cursed me to have no relatives and a lonely life.)
Somewhat dejected, I returned to the camp. The fire had been extinguished long ago because there was no firewood. I saw Xiaoxuan sitting by the fire in a daze.
"Yunfeng, am I a murderer?"
I shook my head, "No, because no one has seen it."
Xiaoxuan lifted up her cotton-padded jacket for me to see.
I saw a scary scar on her white belly, like a centipede.
"Yunfeng, do you think that if we are caught one day in the future, will I be sentenced to death because I killed a person?"
I helped Xiaoxuan put down her cotton-padded jacket and said loudly: "There is no one who doesn't get stabbed in the rivers and lakes. Life and death are determined by fate. Wealth is in the sky. If he stabbed you, you stabbed him back. It's just an even match. You two are equal."
No one owes anyone anything.”
"Besides, Genghis Khan, the genius of the generation, bent his bow and shot at the giant eagle. He killed 400,000 party members with his eyes closed and was not afraid. You just killed one, what are you afraid of?"
Xiaoxuan sniffed and whispered, "I'm not Genghis Khan, and I can't shoot vultures either."
I touched Xiaoxuan’s head and laughed heartily and said:
"Yes, you are not Genghis Khan, you are Genghis Xuan."
