The sharp sound breaking through the air, like a poisonous snake, made me feel a coldness and the threat of death from my bones. It was very slight, but it gave people a feeling of being unable to escape, as if I could not escape no matter how hard I tried. However,
Under this coldness, there is something familiar.
I suddenly stood upright on the spot and blurted out: "It's me!"
The sound of breaking through the air suddenly stopped. I immediately turned on the flashlight, and the light shone right in front of my eyes. I saw an alloy tube flashing with cold light. The blade was only a dozen centimeters away from my chest.
, if I had hesitated for even less than a second, it would have pierced my chest.
Following the alloy tube, I saw a face.
Is this a dream? At that moment, my mind was almost completely frozen. I had thought to myself many times how difficult and slim it would be to find the lost Mustache and Lei Yingxiong, so slim that there was almost no chance.
.
But at this moment, the owner of the alloy pipe stood quietly in front of me, and he slowly withdrew the alloy pipe that was about to pierce my chest.
"It's me..."
Mustache, I found him, right here!
Soon, two people appeared behind Mustache, Thirteen and another guy. When they saw me, they seemed to have seen a ghost.
I looked at Mustache and wondered whether I should believe this was true. He was as calm as before, his face was calm, only a smile slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth. But I could clearly see that he was holding the alloy tube.
My hands were shaking all the time. This was very rare. I had never had it before.
I felt friendly, and only when I saw his hands trembling with excitement and joy did he look like a normal person.
Like my brother.
"Go home... Let's go home together..." I also laughed, although the smile was very forced. During the long search, I was under a lot of pressure, but as you can imagine
Yes, Xiaozhu and the others were under greater pressure than me. When I said these three words, "I'm going home," they and I couldn't help but hug each other.
In fact, some things are really not as complicated as people think, especially when you are struggling to find one or a few people. The search process may be difficult, but when you really find them, you have found them, and they will find them all.
Appeared before his eyes in an instant.
We immediately retreated from here, and then stopped in a mountain den outside. Until then, I was a little surprised, because there were more than ten people in Mustache's team, but now I only saw three of them, and the rest,
Including Lei Yingxiong, everyone disappeared.
Neither Mustache nor Monk like to talk too much. It was a guy in another team who said this.
The members of this team are a bit complicated, coming from several different forces. Mustache and Thirteen are naturally reliable, but the few people Lei Yingxiong managed to hire are not, especially after they were sent away by the fragments.
It feels like one can't help but want to go crazy. However, neither Hero Lei nor Mustache can take them back again.
They never gave up and were always looking for a way to go back. However, during the specific search, the two sides had fierce conflicts day by day. Those people blamed Lei Yingxiong for the root cause of everything.
They had internal strife, and it was very serious. Although the internal strife was finally calmed down, almost all the guys in the team who were the direct descendants of Thunder Hero died.
"Where's Lei Yingxiong? Is he dead too?" I felt a little nervous, because when I mentioned Lei Yingxiong, I immediately thought of Lei Duo who had been waiting hard in Yuanshan. If I had been running around for so long, I would have brought him back.
What's new is the news of Lei Yingxiong's death. I don't know if Lei Duo can continue to support it.
"He's not dead."
"How are things going at your place?" Shisan couldn't help but ask: "Our family's financial resources have all been brought here, but don't worry, as long as we can go back, the Tang family will still have some foundation."
"No need." I instantly thought of the dead people in the decisive battle and the rotating stones that were blown into powder: "It's over."
"it's over?!"
"It's over, everyone who deserves to die is dead, and everyone who doesn't deserve to die is also dead..."
I don’t know how to explain it in detail, because among those experiences, there is a scene that I don’t want to mention or even recall. At this time, Mustache stood up and said to me: “Let’s go first.”
We followed Xiaozi out of the mountain. They came here almost half a year ago and have been looking for information in this mountain. We walked very fast. After leaving the mountain, Xiaozi walked away from the village.
On the afternoon of the second day, we walked to a place about thirty or forty miles away from the village. The land here was also very barren, but there were patches of mottled grass on the ground. Looking over, I saw more than ten
Sheep were scattered everywhere, grazing leisurely.
As soon as I turned my eyes, I saw a man sitting quietly on a stone in the grass. He was wearing a piece of earthy clothes, holding a sheep whip, sitting cross-legged, very quiet, looking around.
When the sheep were grazing, he would wave his whip from time to time to signal the sheep not to go too far.
His movements are very skillful, like a local who has been herding sheep here for half his life.
I was stunned. There may be many, many sheep herders in the world, but there is absolutely no one like Lei Yingxiong.
"Is he stimulated by something?" I asked Mustache quietly.
"No." Mustache led me forward: "I just figured out some things."
There is nothing to say about what happened after that. We returned to Yuanshan and found our own time. Maybe Lei Yingxiong really wanted to understand something. When I told him, everything was over.
When Shidu didn't exist, he didn't react too much and just sighed.
Everything in the past is buried in this sigh.
Lei Yingxiong and the others temporarily returned to Changsha, and Shisan also left. Xiaozhu and I could finally face our respective mothers safely and tell them that we had done everything we should do.
I don’t want to say more about the process of meeting my mother. It’s natural to be happy to meet her, but the pain hidden behind this joy is incomprehensible to ordinary people. At this moment, I finally met my mother, but she lost this feeling of mine.
The suffering endured for more than twenty years may never be healed.
My mother is unwilling to leave the place where she lives, and she is unwilling to let me leave my own life. In her impression, no matter what the reason, I am forced to leave my own life and go to another unfamiliar environment.
Going is a very painful and uncomfortable thing. She doesn't want me to bear this pain. Although I have repeatedly stated that this is not pain, she still insists on her opinion.
Maybe, the tragedy that happened more than 20 years ago caused her to lose her husband and son, and she was forced to leave the peaceful town, and she has been homeless ever since. This is an unbearable pain for her. My
My mother loves me very much. She doesn't want me to have even the slightest pain. She wants me to live a happy and relaxed life.
She only asked me, if time permits, to come back every year during the Qingming Festival to visit my father’s grave and burn paper.
Ji Layimu died, and Su Ri took his place and became the leader of this organization. Their purpose will not change, and they will try their best to recover everything that belongs to their ancestors, their culture, civilization, and the past.
During the phone call between me and Su Ri, he told me that when they were tracking down the surviving men with a gloomy face, they got a part of the wheel-turning stone. Because this thing did not belong to the ancient Qiang people, Su Ri asked me if I needed these.
"Do yourself a favor and destroy them all." I don't want to see these things again.
Mustache asked me what my plans were for my future life. I said I wanted to buy a house and do some work like other people do every day, then buy groceries and cook, and watch TV and sleep.
"Then just do what you plan to do."
Mustache returned to Nanjing with the monk. I always felt that people like him were different from me. He was used to wandering, or used to the kind of life he lived before. He left the business affairs to the monk.
He is running around everywhere. In fact, he has nothing specific to do. He just wants to keep walking on an endless journey. Only in this way will he feel fulfilled and will not lose himself in the city with many high-rise buildings.
Occasionally, he would go into a trap himself and bring some valuable or worthless goods. Although I knew that if I wanted to see him, I could just make a phone call, but I didn’t want to disturb him. I thought, only every year
I can only stay with him for a few days when I go to my mother's place and visit my father's grave together.
Lei Yingxiong seems to have really had an epiphany, and he seems to be unwilling to hang out in this circle anymore. He has no son, and it is impossible for Lei Duo to take over his business. But Lei Yingxiong still slowly lets go, and he hands the business to Zhang Houhou
I went to take care of it and seldom asked questions. I only occasionally asked Zhang Houhou if he had found any rare local goods recently.
Regarding the reincarnation of immortality and everything that happened around it, Lei Yingxiong really never mentioned a word about it.
After I took care of everything, I arrived in Changsha and bought a house near Lei Yingxiong's house, with two bedrooms and more than 70 square meters. The money for the house purchase and decoration were all given by Xiao Hu, and I spent so much money on it.
Time, in fact, there is no deposit of a penny.
I want to like someone, love someone, and always want to. Because I know that other people just play an important or unimportant role in my life and will eventually leave. Only this person may be able to accompany me all the time. But in
Before, I couldn't be my true self, but now, I think I can.
Like everyone who is in love, I go to bed at home, chat with Lei Duo, and sometimes call her to invite her out to dinner or watch movies. Although I don’t know how many times I have gone into Lei Yingxiong’s home, but every time
When the date is over, I always drop her off at the door of my house and never go in again.
She didn’t understand and said I was a bit pretentious. In fact, I wasn’t pretentious, I just wanted to become more normal, as normal as everyone else. I knew no one would think I was special when I walked on the street, but this
It's a psychological reason on my part, and I guess I won't be able to correct it for a long time.
I think that when necessary, I will formally discuss this matter with Lei Yingxiong.
Mustache left me a lot of money, so I didn’t have to worry about life, but I still wanted to do something. After thinking about it for a long time, I decided to open a small bookstore because I don’t like reading and would not do it unless I had to.
This thing. In my impression, since I was a child, I have hardly read any complete book. Because I have little exposure to it, I want to do this.
Whether I admit it or not, I understand that my previous experience has changed me a lot. Although I dream of living a normal life, I think it may be difficult for me to truly integrate into that calm and ordinary life.
Go into life.
The bookstore has opened. I am not a business person. Whether it is a business on the road or a serious small business like this, I will probably make a mess. Fortunately, I don't want to make money, I just want to have something to do, and I don't want to let myself go.
I was so busy that I couldn't stop myself. At the beginning, I was still very serious about what I did. I looked for stores, watched people decorate, and purchased goods myself. But after working for a while, I became a little impatient.
The bookstore is not big. I hired a clerk named Ma Bao. He is a foreigner who came to Changsha to work and earn money. He is honest but has a stupid mouth. When people come to buy books, he stands like a zombie in front of them.
He didn't talk. The worst period was probably half a month, when the turnover was zero every day.
But I paid him a salary as usual and let him do all the things in the store, including selling books, purchasing goods, and looking after the store at night. I would go to the store every day, crawl into a small yard behind the store, and be lost in thought with a book.
.
In Ma Bao's eyes, I am a very good boss. I never reprimand him and never delay my wages. But I know that I am very strange in his eyes. Sometimes I cannot say more than three sentences a day.
I didn't know how to read originally, but Lei Duo introduced me to a book called Notes on Tomb Raiders. I flipped through a few pages and was attracted. Not for anything else, just because there were some things in this book.
It resonated with me, I read the book in one sitting, and then I couldn't stop reading.
In the small yard in the afternoon, the sun was very warm. I moved two deck chairs and read a book in the sun with Lei Duo. I read very quickly and was already more than half way through. I like Pan Zi the most, and I don’t want to read it the least.
When Pan Zi appears, because when I see him appear, I can't help but think of Ma Dad and Cao Shi.
"Pan Zi will definitely die in the end..."
I didn't see the ending, but I predicted Pan Zi's ending. I was lying on the recliner, and all I saw before my eyes were the figures of Cao Shi and Ma Dad, their smiles before they died, and their words to me before they died.
The same thing I said.
Unknowingly, tears welled up in my eyes again. I didn't want Lei Duo to see my tears, so I sat up and turned my back to her, and quickly wiped away the tears that overflowed from the corners of my eyes.
"Hey, tell me." Lei Duo asked me while flipping through the book: "If your story was written into a book, would it be very interesting?"
"Maybe." I wiped away my tears, turned around and forced a smile, and said, "Maybe it will look good."
