"Actually, in order not to harm future generations, Xiaolong's grandfather wanted the whole family to hang themselves as apology. But at this time, Xiaolong's grandfather discovered a very strange thing, which was brought out from Yanling.
.That is to say, since the discovery of this thing, the whole thing has changed. Your grandfather chose to give up apologizing and explore the truth of the whole thing. Of course, Wu Yue, the ancestor of the Wu family, also made the same choice."
"What?" Da Zhuang asked uncontrollably.
My father glanced at me and said calmly: "I only know it is a piece of iron."
"Dad, what do you mean, my grandpa didn't die at all that day?" I was a little confused. My family had already confirmed the news of my grandpa's death. Why did my father say that my grandpa was not dead again?
My father didn't speak, and after a while he nodded: "The only people who knew about this at that time were Mr. Wu and your three uncles."
"Fourth Master, what happens next?" Tu'er asked cautiously.
"When your grandfather and Mr. Wu were investigating this piece of iron, they found that it was the key to an ancient period." My father said this, and after thinking about it for a long time, he seemed to have been unable to think of any other better words.
Express.
"The key to ancient times?" Everyone asked almost in unison.
The father shook his head and looked very confused: "I told you what Grandpa Xiaolong said exactly. To be honest, I don't quite understand it either."
"Fourth Master, what are we doing here?" a waiter suddenly asked.
His father said: "Twenty-five years ago, that is, after Grandpa Xiaolong investigated the iron block for more than ten years, he found that the iron block seemed to be related to a certain ethnic minority in Yunnan, so he came to Yunnan, but he has not been heard from since. I
When I was checking your grandfather's whereabouts, I suddenly discovered that there was a person involved in the whole thing, even before Yanling was destroyed."
"Who?" I asked.
"A Japanese named Kato!"
Da Zhuang said in confusion: "That's not right, Fourth Master, haven't the Japanese already left China after the founding of New China?"
The father sneered and said: "Obviously I left, but there are still many who secretly stayed behind with special identities."
Ah Fei suddenly realized: "Fourth Master, are you talking about a spy!?"
Father nodded: "Absolutely. This Kato was an associate researcher at the Changsha Archaeological Bureau before the Cultural Revolution. His Chinese name at the time was Teng Qingshan. This spy's sense of smell is extraordinary. He resigned when the Cultural Revolution was about to begin.
He lost his job and became a teaching assistant in the Marx Philosophy Department of Hunan Normal University. Naturally, the label of the Four Olds would not be placed on the head of a person who studied Marx, so he openly escaped this disaster. But his work in China
The main focus was on studying Yanling. Although he was not directly involved in the destruction of Yanling, he was very familiar with the whole thing. It was he who followed your grandfather to Yunnan twenty-five years ago."
"So you want to find him and find out the whereabouts of grandpa?" I asked eagerly.
The father sighed, shook his head and said, "No, this person followed your grandfather and disappeared at the same time."
What my father said made me feel that the monk Zhang Er was confused: "Since this person has also disappeared, why do we still mention him?"
"Just because there is no news about him, it doesn't mean he is dead. There are too few people who can come in to a place like this, let alone Japanese." The father said with great certainty: "I think Kato must still be alive. The route here is
He also revealed it to these Japanese people."
I suddenly understood what my father meant, and I was very surprised and said: "So, you want to find him? Not only does he know the whereabouts of my grandfather, he even understands the whole process of this matter better than all of us. This is really a crucial moment.
What a character!”
"It's impossible. Calculate how old he is. Twenty-five years ago, he was only in his mid-thirties, and now he is over sixty. Such an old guy probably won't leave Japan.
"My father said helplessly: "However, there is no -"
"Fourth Master, there are lights there!" At this critical moment, a waiter suddenly shouted.
My father stood up with a whoosh: "Where?"
The guy pointed in the direction of the center of the basin: "It seems to be on the hill in the middle of the lake!"
"Can you see clearly that it's light?"
"Look clearly, it's so dark here that you can't even see a hair. It's very clear with a little light."
"Okay! Guys, cheer me up and set off immediately!" The father waved his hand and immediately put on his diving suit: "Put on your clothes first, we will swim over later."
Da Zhuang complained while changing his clothes: "Oh, it's really life-threatening to do this job. I have to go swimming in a small lake of unknown depth in the middle of the night. If there is something in it, I don't know how I will die."
"
To be honest, although I am not bad at water, I am still afraid of things in the water. I always feel that there will be some terrifying underwater monster looking at you in the deep water! This feeling is especially obvious in deep water.
There is a lot of silt in the small basin, and there are large and small patches of water scattered in patches. In some places, you can see bubbles emerging from the muddy water. When you shine the flashlight, you can see a light layer of mist, which makes my father startled.
Everyone was asked to cover their mouths and noses with wet cloths. However, what made everyone happy was that as soon as everyone entered the wetland, a guy found the footprints left by the people in front, or should be said to be the traces of trampling, almost all of them were
Everywhere you stay is covered with vegetation.
When I saw these footprints, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, swamp! The entire basin here is a swamp, and it is also a miasma-containing swamp! A Fei immediately shouted, this is a swamp, and everyone should be careful.
Don't move around. But as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a man crying and yelling: "I'm trapped! Oh my god, help! Come and pull me! Quick, quick..."
As soon as I shouted over there, two guys had already stretched out their hands. In fact, this guy didn't go very far, but he deviated from the safe route by less than two meters. The two of them tried their best to stop the downward trend. I looked carefully.
After a while, the route that everyone was walking on was definitely a one-way street, stepping on grass husks all the way, so the only people who could save the guy were the two people closest to him.
"Good brother, hurry up and try harder. I still can't pull my foot out! Still can't pull it out! Quick, quick!" The guy's legs were stuck in the mud, and his face was ashen with fear, and he looked at it in panic.
Two people.
"Jianhua, hurry up! My feet are starting to sink too!" One of the waiters shouted in confusion!
"Brother, I'm sorry, I'm half-sinked! Brother, don't blame me! There's nothing I can do about it!" After saying that, he struggled to pry open the man's fingers: "Brother, let go, no.
I don’t want to save you!”
One person retreated, and the other retreated faster. Before the guy could react, both of them let go! The body that had just stabilized began to sink slowly again, and in the blink of an eye, the time had passed.
Knees. Just when everyone was helpless and had no choice but to watch their companions slowly walking toward death, the man suddenly exclaimed: "Hey, hey, stop! Stop! There are rocks below! There are rocks below! Hahaha,
God will never die, I am! Ha--" As soon as he started laughing, his face suddenly changed: "What the hell? I stepped on something!"
"Jianhua, what's wrong?" Ah Fei asked anxiously.
"Wait, wait." Jianhua bent down and stretched an arm along his calf. After touching it for a few times, he suddenly shuddered and said with a serious look on his face: "Fourth Master, it's a human face!"
Seeing that this guy can still act so calmly, I can't help but secretly admire him. He is indeed a veteran in reverse fighting. He can still be so calm when he steps on a dead man's face. However, you can still see the fear in his heart.
It was just forced down.
The father said "Yeah" and then said: "Nothing strange, this is a swamp, and it's normal for someone to die in it. Don't waste time, come up quickly."
Jianhua didn't care anymore and walked slowly towards the safe route. The distance of less than two meters took more than ten minutes. His anxious father couldn't do it. But just when Jianhua was about to climb up, he suddenly bent down again.
I touched it underneath. I didn't touch it tightly enough, and a corpse crawled out of it. When I came out, my face was as white as snow!
"Damn it, what's wrong?!" Tu'er shouted.
Jianhua stared and said with great effort: "Fourth, Fourth Master, the people on the floor below are all dead!"
