Ziyang's expression made me feel that this matter was not trivial. I didn't know the origin of the jade stone on the cave wall, and it was impossible to know who Ziyang was talking about.
"What did you say?"
"A strong enemy is coming!" Ziyang was still looking at the inexplicably broken piece of jade on the stone wall and said, "An unfathomable strong enemy!"
"Where?" I was nervous for a while. In fact, Ziyang's enemies may not necessarily be my enemies, but at this moment we are in Badu Ancient Village. If a powerful enemy comes, it is likely to affect us: "In Near the stockade?”
"No." Ziyang shook his head: "It's still far away, I don't know where it is yet. But since they are here, they will show up sooner or later. You don't need to worry, he is just a spelling word. For so many years, we are You just worked hard to survive, it’s no big deal.”
I feel that Ziyang still doesn't trust me. Once it involves more important things, he will keep silent. This made me realize that he came to me just to ask me to help him? I hate this kind of cooperation. By cooperating with Lao An, at least the two sides can talk on the same level.
Originally I planned to leave, but as soon as the jade on the stone wall was broken, Ziyang changed his mind. He invited me to sit outside the cave, and then took a picture drawn on the leather. It was a map, and the drawing was very beautiful. It was detailed and clearly marked with text. I was stunned because I saw the words Changbai Mountain.
"Next step, you go here, there is a door over there." Ziyang pointed at the picture and said, "Find it first."
"What did you say?" I was slightly surprised. Listening to Ziyang's words, he didn't know where the door was at all. He just pointed out an area with a radius of hundreds of miles and asked me to find it.
"No matter whether you can open it or not, you have to find it first and then talk about it." Ziyang said, "If you need anything, tell me now."
"What if I can't find it?"
"Then you take your people and stay in Changbai Mountain for a year or ten years until you find it." Ziyang was determined, his tone was calm but there was a feeling that there was no room for negotiation.
"Did you have the final say?"
"If it's something that doesn't count, I won't talk about it." Ziyang looked at me looking a little angry and dissatisfied, and said leisurely: "I can't judge the past or judge the future, but I know more about your affairs than you even know yourself. Want more. You lost your parents when you were still in your infancy. You are alone, living under the roof of others, and suffering from the warmth and warmth of others. You are proud and difficult for outsiders to get close to you. But if you can really get close, you will treat your life with your life."
"You do know a lot." I sneered. My tragic history is no secret. Since they have kidnapped Qingqing, Chen Yu and Zheng Tong, they will have a way to get it out of Chen Yu's mouth. Find out about my childhood.
"Don't you think this is enough?" Ziyang smiled faintly again and said, "If you think I forced you to ask these questions from your friends, you are wrong. You once resented your parents, resenting them for giving birth to you. I don’t want to support you, but your parents abandoned you on the streets at that time. They were helpless because they were poor and unable to support you.”
I was speechless. Ziyang's words seemed to penetrate my heart, and they were like a soft thorn, constantly teasing me, making me feel uncomfortable and want to know the inside story.
"Do your job well." Ziyang took back the map and said, "Your mother has passed away, but your father is still here."
"Where is he?" I asked eagerly without any thought, "Where is he!"
"He is just an ordinary person, doing nothing but doing good things, and you will see him."
After saying this, Ziyang turned around and returned to the cave, returning to his previous posture of sitting cross-legged, as if in trance. I asked him about it, but never got a single word of answer. The cunning old Taoist priest only threw out a piece of bait and waited.
After I bit on it, I started to reel in the thread. I knew he had a purpose, but I couldn't resist the impulse in my heart.
Ziyang sent me away like this, and we stayed in the stockade for a day, but he didn't show up again. Mazi Li was hard to talk to, but Meng Xiaolang was relatively kind, and he took me around the stockade with a smile.
When I see a village full of people missing arms and legs, I feel uncomfortable and depressed.
Then, Mazi Li took us away from Badu Ancient Village, including the old magic stick. We went directly back to the old city, and Mazi Li started to prepare various things. During this period, my heart could not calm down.
As soon as I move, I will think of what I saw in the mirror.
I don’t think Ziyang will lie about this matter, because he can verify the truth by asking at Shiziqiao Prison. Although this is a fact that I cannot accept, I still want to take a look. I can’t act alone, and after eight
The incident of crossing the ancient village made me even more suspicious of Lao An, but if I wanted to go out, I couldn't hide it from him.
And I am vaguely worried about how I will face Yu Beifang, the other person in Cross Bridge Prison. That kind of interview cannot be personal. There will be prison guards present. Will it be too much for others to see two identical people meeting in the prison?
Think? This matter has already been settled, and I don't want to cause more trouble. But I feel really uncomfortable, so I can only go to Lao An to discuss it. He thought about it and said that this problem should not be big.
He gave me a fake beard and a pair of sunglasses. I went out to get a haircut. After putting on the beard and sunglasses, my appearance changed slightly. Such changes cannot be hidden from acquaintances, but for the first time we met
For strangers, it should be enough.
"It'll be fine. You can find some connections over there at the cross bridge." Lao An said, "It's not convenient to talk during the prison interview. It would be better to find some connections."
"Are you sure there won't be any more problems in your relationship?"
Lao An's face suddenly turned a bit ugly. He didn't explain, but I could tell that he probably had his own difficulties.
Lao An contacted us in advance. The next day, the two of us set off from the Old City alone and rushed to Shiziqiao Prison. We waited there for about a day and everything was ready, and it happened to be the day of the interview.
I won’t say much about the unnecessary process, but after that, I finally met Yu Beifang, who was working in the prison camp.
When I saw him for the first time, my nerves were frozen by an indescribable emotion, and I even lost the ability to think. There is no similarity between him and me. I feel that the person wearing the same number
The person sitting across from me is myself, it must be.
I suppressed the fluctuations in my heart forcibly. In order to avoid any accidents, I did not plan to speak. Lao An would ask what he wanted to say and I would listen. It seemed that the life of Yu Beifang, who was in prison, was not that miserable. His expression was
Very rosy.
However, within a short period of time after we met, I noticed something unusual. Logically speaking, Yu Beifang, who was working in the prison camp, had no idea who Lao An and I were. However, after meeting, his expression was very natural and he actually asked
They didn't even ask us where we were from and just started talking.
"Are you used to living here? Are you missing something?" Lao An said, "If you are missing something, you can tell me."
"There's no shortage, it's good. I memorize the prison rules, work, eat and sleep every day, everything is fine." Yu Beifang, who was in the prison cell, smiled, sighed again, subconsciously glanced at the prison guard next to him, and said, "It's just that
, Occasionally, I feel a little bit unaccustomed to it, I can’t explain why, I’m just not used to it.”
"Can you tell me about your past experience?" Lao An exchanged a few words and then started to get to the point. This is what I must ask clearly. I want to know how much Yu Beifang knows about the past.
Before the interview, the guards in the prison may have greeted Yu Beifang in advance, so he had questions and answers. Prison is indeed a good place to reform people.
Even after living here for two years, he loses his temper. When Lao An asked, Yu Beifang, who was working in the dormitory, began to answer.
"I am an orphan. I was abandoned by my parents. I grew up in an orphanage. It should be called an orphanage now. The orphanage where I live is at the east end of the city. It is a big courtyard with three buildings. I guess the other people
I can’t remember, but I remember that there was an old aunt who was cooking in the kitchen. She was fat. We called her Aunt Panda..."
He was talking, and I was listening. Every word was like thunder, rumbling in my ears. If it hadn't been for personal experience, could he have spoken so clearly?
Then, he talked about his experience after leaving the orphanage. He talked about working part-time while in school and working in a small restaurant. Because he was late to the restaurant one day after attending self-study, he was scolded by the boss. At that time, he felt secretly in his heart.
I vowed to stand out in the future.
It is undeniable that that incident, as well as the thoughts in his mind at that time, were all described by Yu Beifang in a watertight manner. Some people may know those things, but besides himself, who else can explain clearly the activities in his heart?
?
"Did something happen in the cell some time ago?" Lao An interrupted and asked after he finished his story: "The guard said that your mood was very abnormal during that time, and you almost got into a fight."
"During those days, I always had a nightmare in the middle of the night." Yu Beifang, who was in the shift room, rubbed his eyes and said, "I had the same dream for several days, which made me feel like I was about to have a mental breakdown."
"What kind of dream?"
"I dreamed that I was in a dark cave, and then a lot of rocks rolled down a big slope and hit me. I got up and continued walking, but when I climbed over the big slope...
...." The corners of Yu Beifang's eyes twitched slightly, and he said: "I saw my body, lying there quietly, the back of the head was almost smashed to pieces, and I have been dead for a while."
The shock in my heart was indescribable, and I subconsciously turned to look at Lao An. What Yu Beifang told me was obviously my experience when I was underground at the Yuantu Site. He was living in prison and had no chance to get out.
, but he had such a dream, what does it mean?
For a moment, I suddenly couldn't tell clearly, who is the real Yu Beifang, me or the person opposite me?
The time for the interview was limited, but Lao An asked all the things that needed to be asked. In fact, I didn’t get anything from Yu Beifang’s answers. I can only think that he grew up in the same environment as me.
People who have the same mentality, thoughts, and personality.
This Yu Beifang was taken away by the prison guards. From the beginning to the end, he never said a word to me, or even looked at me. But when he was taken away, he suddenly turned his head and said to me: "
Hey! You have to be careful."
I didn't want to speak, so I made a questioning gesture and asked him what he wanted me to be careful about.
