Unable to find the entrance to the cave, and unwilling to do so, Lin Cheng planned to follow the footsteps of the group of rats running downstairs to see what these guys were doing, but when he just turned around and was about to leave
While here, he suddenly felt someone hugging his waist tightly, and then he felt himself being forcibly pulled towards the wall behind him by a pair of strong arms!
"Boom!"
After struggling hard for two times, Lin Cheng saw that the guy behind him had no intention of letting go of him. Lin Cheng was heartbroken, and his right elbow, which was caught by the opponent's arms, slammed back, and he heard a muffled "Uh" groan.
, the guy who had been holding him forcibly pulled him into a space with a strong breath, and then heard the sound of a body falling to the ground.
"Click——"
Just as the opponent fell to the ground, there was a sound of the stone slab being closed. Looking down, Lin Cheng saw an arm slowly being pulled away from the wall. Apparently, the stone slab just now was closed by this hand.
Up.
Frowning and turning around, Lin Cheng realized that this guy who could perfectly evade the search of his aura and dragged him into such a dark room when he was not prepared, turned out to be a man who looked to be at least sixty years old.
An old man with a white beard!
It's just that the old man's condition doesn't look good now. Although Lin Chenggang's blow wasn't too fatal, it would be too much for anyone to take, let alone such an old man. Although the old man's body looks...
He seemed quite tough when he went up, and the strength he showed when he grabbed Lin Cheng and entered here just now also shows that he is definitely not as simple as he looks.
Holding the waist where Lin Cheng had hit him, this old man with a weird beard was half lying on the ground, gasping for air. He looked at Lin Cheng with eyes that seemed to kill someone. It was obvious that Lin Cheng
This moment made it difficult for him to relax for a while.
Although the other party looked quite miserable, Lin Cheng had no intention of giving up. The old man dragged him to such a strange place without saying a word. He would not believe that there was no intention to kill him.
"snort!"
With a cold snort, Lin Cheng pulled out the black jade dagger, walked up to the old man, put the dagger on his neck, and said coldly: "You..."
"Shhh!!!"
But before Lin Cheng could finish his sentence, the old man's eyes suddenly widened as he fell on the ground. Regardless of the dagger on his neck, he hurriedly extended his index finger to his mouth and said "Shh", signaling Lin Cheng not to do anything.
Voice!
"Um?"
Seeing the old man's strange behavior, Lin Cheng, who was about to extract some information from the living person he finally met, suddenly frowned and couldn't figure out what the old guy was up to.
But the old man had no intention of explaining to him. Seeing that he was silent, the old man gritted his teeth and slowly moved his neck away from the range of Lin Cheng's dagger. Then he pushed himself up with difficulty and stood up. Seeing Lin Cheng's eyes suddenly
When he was cold, he quickly waved his hand to signal him not to worry.
When the old man performed these actions, his movements were all very slight, and he made no sound from the beginning to the end. There was a half-lit candle on the broken table in the center of the room. Although it was weak, it was not so confusing that people could not understand the direction. And the old man
I followed this ray of light to the table and sat down. I picked up the water glass on the table and poured white water into my mouth in small sips.
Seeing the old man's familiar behavior, Lin Cheng's heart suddenly moved. The old man's series of actions, including the way he drank water and the sound he made, were obviously a subconscious habit. The reason why he developed this habit was obviously for
Avoid making any noise, but I don't know why this old man is so sensitive to sounds.
Suddenly, just when Lin Cheng became more and more impatient and wanted to step forward to question him, he saw the old man's ears suddenly twitching. Then, he seemed to take a big breath and stopped drinking water.
Returning to his previous caution, he picked up the cup and poured the remaining half of the glass of water into his mouth in one go.
"Ha...hiss!"
After drinking more than half a glass of water in one gulp, the old man seemed to feel very refreshed. He was about to sigh with relief, but because his movements were a bit large and involved the injured area just now, his expression suddenly became distorted, and his mouth
Immediately, I couldn't help but gasped again.
"Old man, should you explain to me what is going on?"
Ignoring the other person's expression that was almost twisted in pain, Lin Cheng sat down on the chair opposite him, lit a cigarette and asked him quietly.
"You speak Erlang?!"
The old man's expression suddenly changed when he heard Lin Cheng speak. Originally, he was a little disappointed when he saw Lin Cheng, a Chinese, but he didn't expect this Chinese who looked young.
It was really beyond his expectation to say it so well.
Seeing the fuss on the old man's face, Lin Cheng glanced at him disdainfully and said, "Is there anything strange about this? Every year, hundreds of thousands of Chinese people come to Eros for work and tourism, and they meet a Chinese who can speak Eros.
What should the Chinese be surprised about?"
After hearing Lin Cheng's words, the old man suddenly realized, nodded slightly and said, "Really? It turns out that the economic and trade exchanges between the two countries are already so frequent..."
"Why, judging from what you said, you must have lived here all your life and never left, right?"
After hearing what the other party said, Lin Cheng's heart suddenly moved. Although it was not yet clear what the other party's series of actions were because of, he could already tell from these two words that the other party was definitely here.
I have lived here for a long time, otherwise I would not even know the current relationship between China and Eritrea.
"Yeah...it's been almost twenty years, right?"
He nodded with emotion. Maybe it had been too long since he had met an outsider. The old man was very chatty and seemed to be unable to stop as soon as he started speaking. "I had just returned from the army at that time. You know, like me,
It would be difficult for a veteran like this who had not accomplished anything until he was forty years old to find a suitable job no matter where he went. As time passed, I began to get tired of living in a big city like Moscow... Fortunately, my two children
I was still promising. Later, with their help, I left Moscow with a sum of money and searched for nearly two months before I found such a place that was isolated from the rest of the world..."
"My wife passed away before I changed careers, and my two children had already started a family. I didn't want to be a burden to them, and they also supported me to go out on my own, but it was unexpected.
What's more, it will be twenty years since I left..." (To be continued)
